I'm going to be implementing a lightweight formatting language (probably Textile, maybe Markdown) in a project I'm working on, and I'm wonder how best to store it in the database. If the user is able to edit the content they're posting, it makes sense to me that the original, non-converted markup be stored so that the user doesn't have ...

Please excuse the subjective nature of this question but I'm trying to determine whether to focus on PHP for my next job search because I'm looking for a less formal work environment. Do I have an impression that PHP jobs tend to be in less formal work environments such as smaller companies/startups with more of a progressive attitude? ...
I am receiving packets sent to my server through UDP. I am using socket_read to read the data and it is coming along just fine. I have run into an error however. The length parameter to socket_read in my case is NOT always the same. The length of the data can range anywhere from 50-150 bytes. One thing that remains constant is that the d...

In this scenario the server trying to set the cookie is at "intranet.myschool.edu" and the exchange server is at "owa_server.myschool.edu". ...

Specifically I'm thinking of combining the following technologies: PHP/Django/Rails/Flex Does this sound ridicu...
I almost never hear the word CakePHP without hearing the word Rails shortly afterwards. Are these two frameworks mainly similar based on how they adhere to the MVC model or do they have other significant similarities/differences? One of the main attractions of Rails for me is how easy it is to do Ajax. Would that also be true of CakePH...

I'm trying to determine how likely it is that my next job will involve the use of a Mac/PC if I am hired as a PHP programmer. With Rails, most shops seem to develop on the Mac. I'm wondering whether the same is true of PHP. ...
