Hi. I am just learning php as I go along, and I'm completely lost here. I've never really used join before, and I think I need to here, but I don't know. I'm not expecting anyone to do it for me but if you could just point me in the right direction it would be amazing, I've tried reading up on joins but there are like 20 different met...

So, I got ZF MVC site and want to force SSL connection on everything under my /checkout/ I tried using mod_rewrite for that, so my .htaccess would look like this: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule (\/checkout.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R] RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|swf|xml|avi|flv|mov|mp3|wav)$ index.php [L] Sure...
I have a website about to launch with a forum facility. Should I put each thread into my sitemap.xml file, or will Google just find the links to each thread via the forum itself? Don't worry: it doesn't require registration to read the forum. If yes, how best to keep it up to date? Doing it by hand is obviously not an option for that am...

The problem arises at this point, where certain words or phrases in the second set can be substrings of phrases already replaced in the first pass. Example: The...

I was just browsing a forum and someone asked about a php file they had found on the web. It has several spots like this in the code: if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $ip = "no ip"; else $ip = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR); I have always thought brackets are needed to enclose what you want to do if the condition is true. Is there some other alt...

I want to ensure that: null is considered an empty string a white space only string is considered empty that "0" is not considered empty This is what I've got so far: $question = trim($_POST['question']); if ("" === "$question") ...
I picked CodeIgniter as the first PHP MVC framework to learn. I've used it for a few projects and feel quite comfortable with it. I now have the opportunity to work on a project that uses Cake. My question is, how long do you think it will take to transition to this framework if I have a good grasp on CodeIgnitor? I don't want to be ov...
I'm running on a shared *NIX server (run by Site5). I have a php script that runs in the background occasionally doing some offline calculations. It uses around 100% CPU while it runs.

Hi! We've recently implemented Amazon S3 in our site which led us to change the way we handled images. We used to call a controller /fotos.php that would read the file from disk, record some statistics, set headers and return the contents of the file as image/jpeg. All went OK until S3. Fotos.php now does a 302 redirect to the resource...

Hi, How do you manage your php codes? Do you prefer functioning within one php file or including larger blocks of "raw code"? Edit: In fact, my code is pretty nasty, as I don't use any namespaces and classes - only functions and including. I shall look the classes up ^^. ...
I am working on a project that needs to use a database driven MVC scheme where the route to the controllers and views are controlled through a single database table. However, I haven't been able to find any tutorials that demonstrate this with a current version of the framework (they all appear to have been written several versions ago) ...
I am trying to create a column in a table that's a foreign key, but in MySQL that's more difficult than it should be. It would require me to go back and make certain changes to an already-in-use table. So I wonder, how necessary is it for MySQL to be sure that a certain value is appropriate? Couldn't I just do that with a language li...
I'm looking for something like break for loops. Here's some example code (using Symfony's lime) where stop() would not let the class continue and I_DONT_WANT_THIS_TO_RUN() would not be executed. $browser->isStatusCode(200) ->isRequestParameter('module', 'home') ->isRequestParameter('action', 'index') ->click('Register') ->stop(...

My solution, which works but I suspect is not ideal, is as follows: In the init() method of MyForm (which extends Zend_Form) I make a database call and...
