The image can be rendered in browser by loading the url or downloaded using curl in shell mode, but not in php execution.

Does anyone know where I could locate an english language word list in the form of a SQL dump? I found a word list online but it's a large plain text file; the words are delimited by a new line character. I tried writing a PHP script to loop through the words and insert them in to the database but quickly ran in to memory issues just re...
What is the best way to deal with the $db_conn variable once I create a mysqli object? I've been using $GLOBALS['_sql'] = new mysqli(...); But this seems dirty. The alternative that I've seen is to be constantly passing the connection var to every function that calls it, but that's a huge pain. ...
Ok so I know limiting strings is fairly easy when it comes to simply truncating and preserving html tags and stuff... but I'm kinda brain%^$%'d when I came to this scenario: I have a div box with a fixed height. I need to limit the strings echoed inside it so that it fits. It does pretty well with preserved html tags and all but it brea...

The following is portions of my two class files: <?php require_once 'Zend/Db/Table/Abstract.php'; abstract class ATableModel extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract { abstra...
In a project I have a text with patterns like that: {| text {| text |} text |} more text I want to get the first part with brackets. For this I use preg_match recursively. The following code works fine already: preg_match('/\{((?>[^\{\}]+)|(?R))*\}/x',$text,$matches); But if I add the symbol "|", I got an empty result and I don't kn...
I'm researching some lightweight tools to backup a LAMP stack. The two most imporatant pieces are the php codebase and the mysql database. I can tar/bz2 the code and a mysqldump and restore it on a new server (if the old one crashes) and this is more or less fine. Anyway, are there more complete solutions to this? e.g. track and...
At the moment, I have a Javascript (JQuery) front-end which periodically makes requests to a seperate, PHP script which returns posts. For the sake of efficiency, however, I'd like to simply add new results to the array, not even looking at existing posts. As it stands, I've attempted to do so with times (i.e. "SELECT * FROM table WHER...
i dont really get the docs for spl_autoload bool spl_autoload_register ([ callback $autoload_function ] ) from my understanding, it will try to run functions registered when php comes across a class not loaded already. so example, public function autoload() { require ('nonLoadedClass.php'); } spl_autoload_register(autoload); $...
I am trying to write a Facebook application that can post to a Facebook fan page (not a user page), using streamPublish. However, I'm having a hard time finding documentation on how to let the backend program stay "logged in" between sessions. I've deduced that it has something to do with the session secret and key, but I've found no goo...

Then the Original document will be compared or merged to his edited document and the result file will be downloaded t...

I'd like to: Make commonly required services visible to all classes that need them, with a minimum of boilerplate, and without sacrificing testability! It's a small project and I think DI might be overkill, but maybe I'm wrong? Anyhow, I have been focusing on the ServiceLocator pattern as described by Martin Fowler In a client clas...
So I've got somewhat of a cool task and I'm just thinking it over. I'm more a designer so I thought I'd tap into the bright minds on here. I am creating a basic page that displays the results from a twitter search results page. Put simply, I am displaying an atom feed with HTML. I'd like to do it with PHP, unless someone has something b...
