Instead of using $this->fetchAll('email = ?',$email)->current() inside the model class, is there a way to do $this->fetchByEmail($email) or $this->findByEmail($email) ? There's already a magic method like this for Zend_Log, where instead of $myLogger->log("Something went wrong",Zend_Log::CRIT) you just write $myLogger->crit("Something w...

I'm struggling with the automated data collection of a PHP script from a webserver. The files in question contain meteo data and are updated every 10 minutes. Weirdly enough, the 'file modified' date on the webserver doesn't change. A simple fopen('http://...')-command tries to get the freshest version of the last file in this directory...
Is it time()? Is it time().substr(microtime(), 2, 2)? Is it time().substr(microtime(), 2, 3)? Kind of lost with the following snippet. function updateClock ( ) { var timeStamp = <?php echo time().substr(microtime(), 2, 2);?>; var currentTime = new Date ( ); currentTime.setTime( timeStamp ); ... ... } My goal is t...

Okay, maybe this is because I've been coding for over 24 hours and my eyes are glazing over, but I'm stumped here. Why does this happen: <?php session_start(); $tmp = "index"; echo "A: " . $_SESSION['page_loaded']['index']; // returns 1 echo "B: " . $_SESSION['page_loaded'][$tmp]; // is set, but is empty ?> I feel like I'm missing s...
What code snippets are out there for detecting the language of a chunk of UTF-8 text? I basically need to filter a large amount of spam that happens to be in Chinese and Arabic. There's a PECL extension for that, but I want to do this purely in PHP code. I guess I need to loop through a Unicode string with a unicode version of ord() and ...

I've written a batch processor that runs multiple threads (pcntl_fork) and I'm getting some weird results when child processes go defunct and don't seem to let go of their resources. Is there a good code profiler, trace utility I can use to 'watch' the parent process and children to see what is going on? ...
