I'm trying to get Drupal 6 to reverse the order in which the nodes appear in the frontpage. I'm pretty much using "Story"s as a blog engine and so far it has done it's job pretty well. I'm a bit annoyed though at the fact that nodes are listed in reverse chronological order. I mean, granted, if you want to display multiple node previews ...

I have a database class that automatically sets up a connection to the database and does some basic input filtering and whatnot. I am looking at setting some predefined constants to adjust the behavior of the class methods. What should I set the values of the constants as?

I've wrote a quick PHP class to ease the access to a mysql database. The class works ok, and has a query() method that opens up the connection, executes the query and then closes the connection (I know that the connection is supposed to close by PHP itself after the script finishes, but I don't like to rely very much on that). From a pe...

I was wondering is there a way in PHP that you could tell where a form was submitted without using hidden fields or anything of the like where the user would only need to tamper with the html a little?

Coming from PHP, I'm used to declaring a function with a default argument value like this: function myFunction ($array, $sort = FALSE) { } I the sort parameter wasn't filled, the function would continue with the default value of false. In Obj-C, is there a similar t...

I'm looking for suggestions on how to best wane my team into using TDD (we can start with Unit tests, and move into regression tests, and later more automated testing). Ultimately, I want us to l...

So in Page2.php, how can I have access to that variable? I know I can do it with sessions but I think it's too much for a simple string, and I do ...
