I have absolutely no idea about version control. Only that it can be very useful in many ways. I have found a few related questions but none that start from the absolute begining. Can anyone help me with version control in relation to PHP projects (does it matter)? thank you! More Info I am the only developer at my work using Mac ...
Is there an inbuilt PHP function to replace multiple values inside a string with an array that dictates exactly what is replaced with what? For example: $searchreplace_array = Array('blah' => 'bleh', 'blarh' => 'blerh'); $string = 'blah blarh bleh bleh blarh'; And the resulting would be: 'bleh blerh bleh bleh blerh'. ...
For my current web development project I'm implementing a back end system that will flag errors and send an email to the administrator automatically with details about what occurred. Trapping the error and generating the email with appropriate error information is pretty straight forward; but a problem arises when one considers certain g...

I want to create a 100% object oriented framework in PHP with no procedural programming at all, and where everything is an object. Much like Java except it will be done in PHP. Any pointers at what features this thing should have, should it use any of the existing design patterns such as MVC? How creating objects for every table in the ...
Im looking to build a simple upload site, that will generate temporary URLS to video files after a captcha has been entered. I need to protect the true location of the files, so they cannot be hotlinked directly. A time based url, that expires after x minutes seems like the best option, but Im not sure on the actual implementation. Any...
I'm re-engineering a PHP-driven web site which uses a minimal database. The original version used "pseudo-prepared-statements" (PHP functions which did quoting and parameter replacement) to prevent injection attacks and to separate database logic from page logic. It seemed natural to replace these ad-hoc functions with an object which u...
Hi, I've got a Wordpress site on our home intranet that has run into trouble now that the IP address has changed - The index page loads, but not the CSS and I can't log in to the site administration panel.

I'm trying to implement caching for a PHP script I'm writing, but I keep running into the following problem. I want the script to be included in other PHP pages, but when I try to pass the cached file and exit the embedded script it exits both the script and the parent page, but doesn't parse the rest of the code on the parent page.

I have a repository object that creates new entities, they are then read/modified by other components and eventually given back to the repository.

I can't understand the motivation of PHP authors to add the type hinting. I happily lived before it appeared. Then, as it was added to PHP 5, I started specifying types everywhere. Now I think it's a bad idea, as far as duck typing assures minimal coupling between the classes, and leverages the code modularization and reuse. It feels li...

In PHP I'm trying to match each character as its own group. Which would mimic the str_split(). I tried: $string = '123abc456def'; preg_match_all('/(.)*/', $string, $array); // $array = array(2) { // [0]=> array(2) { // [0]=> string(12) "123abc456def" // [1]=> string(0) "" } // [1]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "f" [...

I'm scheduled to take the Zend PHP5 Certification next month and had a few questions regarding the aftermath.
