Not sure if the terminology is correct, but are there rough equivalents to Java Servlet Filters in Ruby and PHP ? Are they actual concrete classes ? I assume there is also a number of common web app libraries/frameworks in Python. Is there an equivalent there ? Thanks. === ADDENDUM === On the good advice of Kevin Davis, I just want t...
Hey, is there any built in functions or something like that in php that will allow me to turn HTML special code like: <(;), >(;), Á(;) and ©(;) etc... into <, >, Á and © Lets say I have the value: $fileName = "Gibt es eine schö(;)ne Offroadstrecke? (;)"; And I want this: $fileName = "Gibt es eine schöne Offroadstrecke? "; Any eas...
I have a function (for ease, I'll just use count()) that I want to apply to maybe 4-5 different variables. Right now, I am doing this: $a = count($a); $b = count($b); $c = count($c); $d = count($d); Is there a better way? I know arrays can use the array_map function, but I want the values to remain as separate values, instead of value...

(Just for background, I am having to move the app into MVC because my boss is making me :) Anyway, I've sat down and printed out the directory structure and started trying to plan how I can convert...
I'm attempting to capture the output of fputcsv() in order to use gzwrite() to actually write to a tab-delimited file. Basically, I'm querying a database and I want to put these rows into a gzipped CSV file and I'd rather use fputcsv() than actually append "\t" and "\n" everywhere. Can I somehow do this with output buffering or somethi...
So IE (6, at least) won't help me with $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] that I request with PHP. But I'm new to Javascript and have just used a little routine in a pop-up to refresh the page from which the popup was called (i.e. parent). Works beautifully in FireFox, Safari, etc. There's NO security issue - I'd just like to the user loaded ...
From the isset() docs: isset() will return FALSE if testing a variable that has been set to NULL. Basically, isset() doesn't check for whether the variable is set at all, but whether it's set to anything but NULL. Given that, what's the best way to actually check for the existence of a variable? I tried something like: if(isset($v)...

Hi, i have a problem within my CakePHP application: I use the Authorization Component for the login/logout mechanisms.

In PHP you have the create_function() function which creates a unique named lambda function like this: $myFunction = create_function('$foo', 'return $foo;'); $myFunction('bar'); //Returns bar Is this actually any better (apart from being more easy) then just doing: do{ $myFunction = 'createdFunction_'.rand(); } while(function_exist...
I searched in google for this without a good result. The only topic I found in the cakephp trac, was closed without a "real" explanation. Since CakePhp is like one of the rails ports for php and rails does support this. I would like to know why wont be sopport to this feature. ...

I'm pretty new to Javascript and I'm sure this is an easy fix, but I can't figure it out. I'm using a slightly modified version of the code from this page and I want to make the form work by entering the information and pressing enter rather than having to click the button. FYI I've read this thread and can't work out my own answer f...

All other classes will use this for pagination. To make my life easier, I made a class generator that generates a class from MySQL table. All the properties, getters,...
Do you consider this a code smell? foreach((array)$foo as $bar) { $bar->doStuff(); } Should i use that instead? if (isset($foo) && is_array($foo)) { foreach($foo as $bar) { $bar->doStuff(); } } Any other good practices to cover not set variables and assert an array? ...
Hi, I have an application which makes decisions based on part of URL: if ( isset($this->params['url']['url']) ) { $url = $this->params['url']['url']; $url = explode('/',$url); $id = $this->Provider->getProviderID($url[0]); $this->providerName = $url[0]; //set the provider name return $id; } This happens...
