I want to store the page location the user came from (on my site). I want to do that for this example: say someone sent a comment without being logged in. "process_comment.php" will process it and send a header(location:$_GET['prev_page']); Of course I'm gonna filter $_GET before sending it. Should I use a session instead? Thanks! ...
I'm trying to speed up response times in my ajax web application by doing the following: Say the user requests a page whose contents don't change (e.g a web form). When the user makes a different request, I 'cache' the form by putting it in a hidden div. Before displaying the new information. So the form is basically still loaded in th...

I'm looking for a PHP chart library, with a few specific criteria: I can't use Google charts because, in at least one case, I need to be able to run on a private network with no internet access (ergo no Google). I need to be able to produce bitmapped images (png, etc). SVG would also be nice, and Flash is acceptable as an extra, but t...

I'm trying to transfer a large array between two sites in PHP. I'm the admin in both. The array is created on one site, and after its creation I wish to automatically redirect the user to the other site, and pass the processed array along. I cannot use the SESSION superglobal, as it is limited to a specific domain. GET is not suitable...
Specifically in theme php files, such as say index.php. The very first thing in most theme's index.php file is a call to get_header() which is most certainly not not defined in index.php, so how does it know about that function? I'm not very familiar with php, but from what I've read just now there is an include and require keyword whi...

I can successfully retrieve other pages on other domains and on my own server with it. I can see it in the browser just fine, and I can grab it with command line wget jus...
I've never used python before. I've used php for about 5 years now. I plan to learn python, but I'm not sure what for yet. If I can think of a project that might be better to do in python, I'll use that to learn it. Edit: just to add this as an important note, I do mean strictly for linux, not multi-platform. Edit 2: I'm hoping for obje...

I need to write a regular expression using php which parses the following code block and removes all <font> and </font> tags. <p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="1">February 22, 2007</font></p> <p align="left"><b><font face="Arial" size="4">2K Sports Announces Major League Baseball 2K7 Has Gone Gold </font></b></p> ...
In perl, I can do: 1 while $var =~ s/a/b/;, and it will replace all a with b. In many cases, I would use it more like 1 while $var =~ s/^"(.*)"$/$1/; to remove all pairs of double quotes around a string. Is there a way to do something similar to this in PHP, without having to do while (preg_match('/^"(.*)"$/', $var)) { $var = preg...
