I recently took my Db initiating code out of the __construct of my Page class and placed it just after I initiate the Page class. I removed it from within the Page class because I want to be able to access it from anywhere (other classes for example). It also takes server, username, password and database arguments to it when initiated, a...
Hi, I'm working on a new project, a web application, where I need to focus the user on a particular task. Therefore I want to eliminate all other "System Generated Noise", like Browser Menus, Buttons, Address Bar, OS Task Bar and so forth. I have seen implementations like Lightbox, but this modal approach is limited to the size of the b...
I want to display documents on my website. The server is hosted on a Debian machine. I was thinking I can allow the upload of support documents then use a Linux app or PHP app to convert the doc into PDF and display that in an HTML page. Are there any APIs or binaries that allow me to do this? ...

. echo date('r',strtotime("16 Dec, 2010")); //Tue, 16 Dec 2008 20:10:00 +0530 echo date('r',strtotime("16 Dec 2010")); //Sat, 16 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0530 That's just wrong... Either it should fail or it should parse correctly. Do you know any robust natural language date/time parser in php? How do you parse natural language date ti...

I'm looking for a replacement website application development IDE. Ideally it will run on both Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows. I'm typically developing small to medium sized web applications of some richness and complexity - by way of example I'm currently handling a site for a local council which manages their waste collection and reproce...
If i have a parameterized SQL statement like this: SELECT * FROM table WHERE my_field = :field_value Does anyone know if PDO will recognize this(see below) as the same SQL statement and use the cache instead of assuming it's a completely different SQL statement: SELECT * FROM table WHERE my_field = :new_field_value So, I guess the...

Since I have the following association in my model: public $hasMany = array('Answer' => array('className' => 'Answer', 'order' =...
I am developing a web-app using zend framework. I like how all the autoloading works however I don't really like the way Zend_Controller names the controllers by default. I am looking for a way to enable zend_controller to understand my controller class named Controller_User stored in {$app}/Controller/User.php . Is there anyway I can do...

I'm running on win2003 server, PHP 526, via the cmd-line. I have a cmdline string: $cmd = ' "d:\Prog Files\foo.exe" -p "d:\data path\datadir" '; Trying to do this in php code $out = `$cmd`; # note use of backticks AKA shell_exec results in a failure by foo.exe as it interprets the -p arg as "d:\data".

I've been building a db input form. There are three fields for notes. They were all build at the same time. They have the same logic & class system - but one of them is returning with escape marks when I update the record (e.g.) i enter 1 2 3 and the updated record returns 1\r\n2\r\n3 I'm confused as the other return the text as f...
Is there a static code analyzer for PHP files? The binary itself can check for syntax errors, but I'm looking for something that does more, like unused variable assignments, arrays that are assigned into without being initialized first, and possibly code style warnings. Open-source programs would be preferred, but we might convince the...
I am using HTML Purifier in my PHP project and am having trouble getting it to work properly with user input. I am having users enter in HTML using a WYSIWYG editor (TinyMCE), but whenever a user enters in the HTML entity (non-breaking space) it gets saved into the database as this weird foreign character (Â). However, the thing...

A lot of them like to copy & paste from Word, which means their input often comes with a plethora of associated MS inline formatting. I can't just get rid of <span whatever> as TinyMCE relies on the span tag for some of i...
