I've been looking for one, but haven't been able to find anything that's even close. Edit: I really would prefer something that's completely written in PHP, with a web interface rather than a command line. It doesn't have to have all the bells and whistles. ...
I've been trying to use SQLite with the PDO wrapper in PHP with mixed success. I can read from the database fine, but none of my updates are being committed to the database when I view the page in the browser. Curiously, running the script from my shell does update the database. I suspected file permissions as the culprit, but even with ...
EDIT: This didn't really start as a hidden features of PHP topic, but thats what it ended up as, so go nuts. I know this sounds like a point-whoring question but let me explain where I'm coming from. Out of college I got a job at a PHP shop. I worked there for a year and a half and thought that I had learned all there was to learn ...
I get a URL from a user. I need to know: a) is the URL a valid RSS feed? b) if not is there a valid feed associated with that URL using PHP/Javascript or something similar (Ex. http://techcrunch.com fails a), but b) would return their RSS feed) Edit: See my answer below ...
I'm just curious if any project exists that attempts to group all (or most) of PHP's built-in functions into a more object-oriented class hierarchy. For example, grouping all the string functions into a single String class, etc. I realize this won't actually solve any problems (unless the modifications took place at the PHP source code ...
I was wondering if anybody knew of a method to configure apache to fall back to returning a static HTML page, should it (Apache) be able to determine that PHP has died? This would provide the developer with a elegant solution to displaying an error page and not (worst case scenario) the source code of the PHP page that should have been ...
I am trying to get some accurate runtime comparisons of PHP vs Python (and potentially any other language that I have to include). Timing within a script is not my problem but timing within a script does not account for everything from the moment the request is made to run the script to output. 1) Is it actually worth taking such things...
In PHP, how can I replicate the expand/contract feature for Tinyurl's as on search.twitter.com? ...
I've heard that Python is meant to be faster than PHP in terms of Runtime, I simply took this as a given and sat down today to make a blog post about it. After being told by Vinko Vrsalovic how to time scripts I took converted some code for getting prime numbers into Python and PHP then ran each 3 times and recorded the numbers. All time...
I'm using namespaces in a project and Eclipse PDT, my IDE of choice, recognizes them as syntax errors. Not only it renders its convenient error checking unusable, but it also ruins Eclipse's PHP explorer. 5.3 features are coming to PDT 2.0 scheduled for release in December. Are there any alternatives for the present moment? I'm looking ...
Is PHP on it's own a good enough templating language, or should one use something like Smarty to write PHP templates in? ...
I really don't like mixing PHP and HTML. Mixing them makes it difficult to maintain both the PHP and the HTML, and it just makes sense to keep the two apart. See also the question on whether PHP is a good enough templating system on its own. What's the best way to do it? ...
I'm trying to install Laconica, an open-source Microblogging application on my Windows development server using XAMPP as per the instructions provided. The website cannot find PEAR, and throws the below errors: Warning: require_once(PEAR.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampplite\htdo...
I've just started developing an ExtJS application that I plan to support with a very lightweight JSON PHP service. Other than that, it will be standalone. My question is, what is the best way to organize the files and classes that will inevitably come into existence? Anyone have any experience with large ExtJS projects (several thousa...
I need to do a dump of a table on a remote server, but I can't access the server directly. The only access I have is through PHP scripts. Is there some way in which MySQL will return an INSERT INTO `table_name` (`field1`, `field2`) VALUES ('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd') statement, like what mysqldump will return? I don't have access to phpM...
We have an issue using the PEAR libraries on Windows from PHP. Pear contains many classes, we are making use of a fair few, one of which is the Mail class found in Mail.php. We use PEAR on the path, rather than providing the full explicit path to individual PEAR files: require_once('Mail.php'); Rather than: require_once('/path/to/pe...
How can I find what databases I have a minimum of read access to in either basic SQL, MySQL specific or in PHP? ...
Greetings everyone! I have a strange problem with my cake (cake_1.2.0.7296-rc2). My start()-action runs twice, under certain circumstances, even though only one request is made. The triggers seem to be : - loading an object like: $this->Questionnaire->read(null, $questionnaire_id); - accessing $this-data If I disable the call to load...
I want to put a copyright notice in the footer of a web site, but I think it's incredibly tacky for the year to be out-of-date. How would I make the year update automatically with PHP4 and PHP5? ...
Some users on a site I have been working on have requested the ability to allow the server to set their aim status when they are listening to a song though our flash music player. I looked at the AIM developer pages, but didn't see any API for PHP. I would be more than willing to write my own, but first I want to make sure that it will ...
