Basically, I'm trying to return TRUE if a string is formatted like this: 4 digits + space + 2 digits and convert it to a date. So, the string will look like: 2010 02, and I'm trying to output February, 2010. I'm trying to use p...

If I set a Global Constant then check for it's value inside every class then every class is reliant on this constant being set. Meaning if I try to use the class in another project it is relying on a Cons...

The manual on "extract" shows you can extract an array like: extract(array('one'=>1,'two'=>2)); into $one,$two... But the extract function doesn't return the variables. Is there a way to 'globalize' these variables? Maybe not using extract, but a foreach loop? EDIT: (explanation about what I'm trying to achieve) I have an array co...

I recently had a problem with one of my hard drives though...

I have a simple download function in a class that might be dealing with files of many hundreds of MB at a time from an Amazon Web Services bucket. The whole file cannot be loaded into memory at once, so it must be streamed directly to a file pointer. This is my understanding as this is the first time I've dealt with this issue and I'm pi...
It seems like an easy problem to solve, but It's not as easy as it seems. I have this string in PHP: ////%postname%/ This is a URL and I never want more than one slash in a row. I never want to remove the slashes completely. This is how it should look like: /%postname%/ Because the structure could look different I need a clever pr...

On a shared hosting package running the LAMP stack and PHP, with no shell access and PHP in safe mode (= exec() being disabled), with only FTP access, do I have a chance of creating a symbolic link somehow?
