I am stuck in a MySQL/Apache/PHP/JavaScript world. Is it possible to stay inside that stack yet incorporate other languages and technologies to advantage and increase interest? The idea is to still serve pages with PHP, but they might have been made with another technology or the JavaScript might have been built with a tool rather th...
This is the basic connection code for a small PHP IRC bot. The problem is that it seems that the while() loop does not progress beyond fgets() until it receives data from the IRC server. I want the while() loop to iterate regardless if the IRC server has not yet sent data. Is this possible? $socket = fsockopen($config['irc_server'], $co...
Maybe that's a somewhat uncommon question but here we go. Here's the code $userName=("Google"); $yt = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube(); $query = $yt->newVideoQuery(); $query->setAuthor($userName); $query->setMaxResults(3); $query->setStartIndex(2); printVideoFeed($yt->getVideoFeed($query)); And it works fine. But my client want to include hi...

I just finished taking a final exam on web applications. Capping off what had been a rather easy (albeit lengthy - 12 pages) exam was a question asking us to code an implementation of sessions, similar to that done by javax.http.HttpSession. I hate to admit, it stumped me. I cranked out a rather BS implemetation using a HashMap and did...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to validate the password entered by the user with the password in the database. I've worked out that it checks the username fine (if the username doesn't exist it displays an error), however when it tries to validate the password with the mysql password it never works. The working 'example' is at http://scaperscle...
I'm writing code this week to dynamically change the color of images. As long as the image is square or rectangle, the code below works perfectly. However, I have an image that has rounded corners (filled with a spot color and the background outside the corners is white.) Can someone tell me if there's a simple way to color an image tha...

I have an unsorted array (of generated die rolls), and I want to select the top N elements of it (which is trivial with sort-and-snip), but mark them while keeping them in order. E.g.: mark([1,2,3,4], 3) ==> [[1, false], [2, true], [3, true], [4, true]] mark([3,5,2,6,2], 3) ==> [[3, true], [5, true], [2, false], [6, true], [2, false]]...
