So, currently I'm organizing my blog based on filename: To create a post I enter the name of the file. As opposed to storing the post in the database, I store them in PHP files. So each time I create a post, A new row in the table is created with the filename and a unique ID. To reference the post (e.g. for comments) I get the name of th...

When querying the db is it plausible to feel extremely paranoid? I go as far as opening and closing mysql connection every time a new query has to be done. I am afraid that (especially with the ajax enabled pages) this would cause great performance downgrading. Should I continue in this method or at least open and close connections once...
So, every so often you get sites like http://www.twitmaps.com - sites created quickly and pushed online for a random purpose. Often either you have plenty of spare time, or you just don't have the opportunity to get your own ideas online. For example in this one, the snow images are very vague and could do with more accuracy. What too...

Let's say I have a string like: $text = "<object>item_id1a2b3</object>xxx<object>item_id4c5d6</object>" I want to convert it to: %ITEM:1a2b3xxx%ITEM:4c5d6 Here's what I've got: $text = preg_replace("/<object.*item_id([a-zA-Z0-9]+).*<\/object/","%ITEM:$1",$text); This isn't quite right, as the search is greedy. Thoughts? Than...

I'm familiar with accepted documentation syntax and tools for a handful of languages. This is not the case for PHP. I know there are always multiple methods for writing do...
