Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to have 2 'while' statements using the same 'mysql_query'? I'm using a jquery thumb gallery with the results pulled in from a database. The gallery requires that the images are grouped together in an unordered list, with the text/overlayed content grouped together in hidden divs which need to be sep...

I have a form which I need for some actions but not for others. In the actions that need it, I repeat the same code. $form = New BlaBla_Form(); I've seen an example which declared it in init(). This means the form gets initialized even for actions that don't need it. It does make the code cleaner, but is it resource intensive enough ...
I understand the right way to protect a db from SQL injection is by using prepared statements. I would like to understand how prepared statements protect my db. For starters, are prepared statements the same thing as "parameterised queries"? As an example, I'm pasting below my code for the insertion of a new user in a user table. I...

i have a multipage form with some textfields. When you fill out the form and press next the form stores the values in an object. When you press the backbutton it reloads those values in textfields.

Hello, I'm trying to have a javascript alert, after a database interaction and before a page redirect (back to the same page, but displaying the updated data). I thought having a pause before the redirect with usleep() might work, but it seems to ignore it. If I comment out the redirect it takes me to the controller page, where the ale...
Since GMail made it possible to import and export the mail filters, I'd like to manage the XML files that are exported from GMail using a PHP script, as there are some known issues with the number of characters in the search filters. I've found the simplexml_load_file function in PHP, and have performed var_dump() against the performed ...

The idea I have is to be able to request ( for example ) $this->fetch_PersonFirstName() and have the class check if $this->person["first_name"...
We got pitched this idea yesterday. A user visits our site and are marked. Then when they visit other sites like CNN they are targeted with adds for our site. So once they are exposed to us, they start to see us everywhere, creating the illusion we are bigger than we are. The person pitching it said it was done by cookies. I was very s...

Hey there. Today I wrote a small benchmark script to compare performance of copying variables vs. creating references to them. I was expecting, that creating references to large arrays for example would be significantly slower than copying the whole array. Here is my benchmark code: <?php $array = array(); for($i=0; $i<100000; ...
I am designing an app that requires that all requests to our servers be routed through a single 'dispatcher'-type server. This server will, based on an API key sent in the request, forward the request on to an appropriate backend server, than relay the response back to the client. eg., an incoming request could be http://example.com:657...
