We use Sajax for adding small Ajax code to sites. After running into a problem and doing some digging, it seems the library hasn't been updated since 2005. I've appreciated Sajax for being lightweight, easy to use, and easy to install (just include the file in PHP). So, on the LAMP stack, if you have used Sajax before, what would you...

Hi All, My PHPEd suddenly stopped showing arguments and arg order in the hints, and now just shows a basic description of the function. Before I go digging around in the config files, has anyone else had this problem? Thanks! Edit: Sorry, I may not have been entirely clear on this. There is no problem with my own classes, only with...

I'm calling a function with call_user_func_array : call_user_func_array(array($this, 'myFunction'), array('param1', 'param2', 'param3')); Everything is ok unless I don't know how many parameters the function needs. If the function needs 4 parameters it sends me an error, I'd like to test if I can call the function (with an array of pa...

So, all calls to http:www.blah.com/foo and http://www.blah.com/foo?var=bar are picked up by the plu...
I'm looking for a charting library written in PHP that outputs to SVG (or Canvas), possibly for integration into an ExtJS project. I like the look of http://pchart.sourceforge.net/index.php but it does bitmap output and is GPL licensed, which will probably be a show-stopper since the project is an internal commercial project. Any sugges...
I am a mySQL noob, and have a slightly stupid question... I am using jquery to send form to a php script which then stores the data in a mySQL database.

If test1.php is currently loading in a browser window, an ...
Is there really a way to do this ? Retrieving raw .php file from the server (other than getting into server's FTP account) ? Is this the reason why there are tools/script to encrypt php source code ? If it's true, then how to protect against it ? (without using php source code encryption) edit: the server mentioned has php running, eg....
I'm working on a site where a user could select certain dates that apply to them, e.g Date 1,Date 2, Date 3, etc. Each date will have certain questions belonging to it, so if the customer checked off 'Date 1' to indicate that this date applies to him, he'll then see a bunch of textboxes asking him about Date 1 and how it applies to them...

At each sale, the credit card is charged via the merchant account interface, and then the order is e-mailed to the client's desktop INBOX. However, as the company grows, this became unscalable, as the client spends ...
