Someone recently told me, "In the past, Google never indexed PHP pages". I don’t believe that for several reasons. But I’m no SEO expert, or even a novice, so I wonder. Before I file that person under “unreliable”, I thought I’d ask the SO community: Is there anything to that? Thanks. ...

I want to make the results of a foreach loop into a string variable I can use later all over (so I don't need to paste the foreach loop everywhere). I have this: foreach($pairs as $d=>$m) { $orderedpairs .= "[".$d."],[".$m."]"+"<br />"; } echo $orderedpairs; If I substitute the assignment operator with "echo", it works fine, so the lo...

There will also be a MySQL database on the same server. The load on the server will only be 20-25 concurrent users, but uptime and performance is still very important. The app...
I've been working on writing unit tests for my PHP code. PHPUnit is what I'm using for this. I have some classes that work great until... I throw XDebug into the mix. At that point, PHPUnit doesn't crash or anything, but setExpectedException never triggers. In fact, the code never goes beyond that point. Anyone run across this and ...
Hi there, I'm using the flot graphing library for jQuery, and it uses javascript time for any time series (to remind, that's milliseconds since Jan 1970. Unix time is seconds).

But this fails on the 31st of some months, such as April; I get two links to the same month for most of the links. I've read through the issues with the way php generates da...
If you were testing a count function like the one below, is it considered to be 'right' or 'wrong' to test multiple things for the function in one function vs having a test function for each of the tests? function testGetKeywordCount() { $tester = $this->getDatabaseTester($this->CompleteDataFile); $tester->onSet...

The links are displayed in tables on the page which is another reason why I can't send them to the database. How can I save the state of the web page, (...
I really like the PHP function strtotime(), but the user manual doesn't give a complete description of the supported date formats. It only gives a few examples like "10 September 2000", "+1 week 2 days 4 hours 2 seconds", and "next Thursday". Where can I find a complete description? ...
I put a check in a script that makes sure a total is correct. What it does is looks at the total as it is stored in the database and then using other variables, calculates what the total should be. If these two values - the stored total and the calculated total - are not equal, it's a problem so I want it to send an email alert. Here's...
