Approach 1 (psuedo-code): // mycontroller.php MyController extends Controller_class { function index () { $data = $this->model...
I have a PHP site with a mySQL database that I'm working on. I'm running Apache, PHP, and mySQL on my development machine, and my code all works just fine. A week ago, I uploaded my code and database to my organization's web host (it's a non-profit group, so the host is not a dedicated in-house server, but rented space.) At that point, t...
I want to start by saying that I am a big fan of using foreign keys and have a tendency to use them even on small projects to keep my database from being filled with orphaned data. On larger projects I end up with gobs of keys which end up covering upwards of 8 - 10 layers of data. I want to know if anyone could suggest a graceful way ...

I currently have PHP 5.3 in XAMPP. I need to run PHP 5.2 to run Zen Cart 1.8 (I'm aware of the patch - but still doesn't work). I would prefer to run it in the same XAMPP environent I'm currently running. Is there a way to do this or do I have to reinstall XAMPP again with PHP 5.2 in another directory or something? Appreciate all inpu...

So for example, these could be the pairings: Child : Parent H : G F : G G : D E : D A : E B : C C : E D : NULL Which needs to be transformed into (a) heirarchical tree(s): D ├── E │ ├─...
Hi everyone, I have started to try APC to store some specific data on each webserver as an complement to memcached.

So I am working on a site for work that I "inherited" when I started here, and I am having to swim through a lot of code that i am unfamiliar with, namely soap services. The website has a feature that lets you write some things to the db using this createURL service: $res = $db->Exec('INSERT INTO private_urls (UID, psswrd, profile_id, s...
I'm about to write a admin panel for my CMS written in CodeIgniter. There will be some user information visible at all time - both in the layout's header section and the sidebar. I'm used to do it in a way that I personally hope and think could be done a lot easier, since I'm tired of sending the same parametres to the view over and over...
I see the post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2565864/validating-utf-8-in-htaccess-rewrite-rule and I think that is great, but a more fundamental problem I am having first: I needed to expand to handle utf-8 chars for query string parameters, names of directories, files, and used in displays to users etc. I configured my Apache...

We allow up to 16 members to enroll at a single time and originally structured the DB to allow such. For example: If 1 Member enrolls, his personal information (first name, last name, address, phone, email) are stored on a single r...
When I view the Sales report (Reports->Sales), it tells me I have 22 orders and made over $1000. When I view the orders (Sales->Orders), there are only 15 orders and I made a lot less. Also, the dashboard only shows $737. Where are all these numbers coming from? I'm using Magento 1.4.0.1. ...
