I'm wondering if there is an equivalent function to PHP's call_user_func() in ASP.NET application. I'm looking to do a conversion from a PHP application to ASP.NET as a means of teaching myself the language, by taking a CMS I built professionally and trying to recreate it in this other language. The reason I need a function similar to t...

I work at a small LAMP Development Studio where the idea has been to just get the code done and go on to the next item on the list. The team works in Zend Studio 5.5 connected to the Live server via FTP or SFTP. What they love about this is the speed of their deployment of code (since its just modifying live code). But of course this i...
Is it possible to detect if a page is opened in 2 different browsers? I have built an small app, that stores some data in $_SESSION, and the problem is that when multiple tabs gets opened, the session vars gets overwritten (search filters in a search form) and so the tabs may display the same results for apparently different searches. ...
Hi, I have a class called User with static function loginRequired(), which returns false if the user is logged in and true if the user is logged out. It also appends an error to an error class that I created that tells the person using the site that they must be logged in to view the content. The idea is that for the top of each functio...
I need to enable the mcrypt functions on my website, except I'm on a shared host (running linux) and obviously don't have access to the php.ini file. There does seem to be options for installing PEAR modules but a search told me mcrypt wasn't available. Is there any way I can do this, short of begging technical support to help me? Upd...

Last weekend I changed webhosts for my website. The host server I was on was a 32-bit OS and the one I moved to is 64-bit. Unexpectedly, some of my PHP scripts started giving incorrect results. In my case the << and >> (bit shift) operations were the culprit. I ended up having to mask the result with 0xFFFFFFFF and then changing the re...
I am crash-learning PHP for a project, and I have a ton of stupid questions to make. The first is the following. I have a structure like this: index.php header.php images/ data data.php Now, the problem is that I want to include the header.php file in the data.php file. That is no problem. The problem I have is that header.php ...

I have two internal arrays that I am using and would like to allow for iteration through both of them from outside the class. Is there an easy way to do this without first merging the two arrays within the class? Here's a quick exam...

I'm a full time web developer but I have my roots as a desktop programmer and there seams to be a lot of talk about Web Operating System these days. Is it practical yet to incorporate your web applications into a Web OS to make it more user friendly or just do a traditional HTML layout? I found one that looks very interesting which is ...
I'm looking for an algorithm (or PHP code, I suppose) to end up with the 10 lowest numbers from a group of numbers. I was thinking of making a ten item array, checking to see if the current number is lower than one of the numbers in the array, and if so, finding the highest number in the array and replacing it with the current number. ...
I'm writing an algorithm in PHP to solve a given Sudoku puzzle. I've set up a somewhat object-oriented implementation with two classes: a Square class for each individual tile on the 9x9 board, and a Sudoku class, which has a matrix of Squares to represent the board. The implementation of the algorithm I'm using is a sort of triple-tie...

I'd love a pure PHP solution, but I'd be open to shelling out to a command line tool and parsing the output (if ...
PHP's parse_url() has a host field, which includes the full host. I'm looking for the most reliable (and least costly) way to only return the domain and TLD. Given the examples: http://www.google.com/foo, parse_url() returns www.google.com for host http://www.google.co.uk/foo, parse_url() returns www.google.co.uk for host I am look...

I come from more of a Java background. In the last year or two, it's become somewhat popular to do server push over HTTP using long-lived HTTP connections in Comet. It's an extremely useful technique. So I'm curious what the equivalent is with Apache + PHP + Javascript? One option I see is just using straight AJAX calls (eg with jQue...
