Either a bash script could be used and then output the headers or C appliation, anything that could be faster?...

All it does is use get_file_contents to get contents of a webpage and regex to get all the links out <a href="URL">DESCRIPTION</a> - at the moment it returns: Array { [url] => URL [desc] => DESCRIPTION } The problem I'm having is figuring out the logic behind determining wh...

I want my users to input something like "I weigh 80 k and I'm 1.8m tall" or even "220 lb" and "6' 1" and pass it through a function that can extract the quantity and the unit.

Since I've been ...
I have, as best as I can manage, set up IIS (6.0), PHP (5.2.8) and MySQL (5.1.30) on Windows Server 2003, with all the involved mucking about (I think) in IIS and PHP to get things talking to each other. PHP does work - however, I cannot use the mysql or mysqli libraries from a PHP page. Fatal error: Class 'mysqli' not found in... Fata...

Hi all, I'm trying to run PHPDocumentor on my WAMPServer setup. It runs fine, but I'd like to exclude certain directories, such as \sqlbuddy\ which don't contain my own code. Ironically, PHPDocumentor appears to be ignoring my --ignore switch. I've tried several ways of expressing the same thing, but with the same result. Below is the c...
