Displaying whitespace in HTML when pulling from MySQL TEXT column
I have saved input from a textarea element to a TEXT column in MySQL. I'm using PHP to pull that data out of the database and want to display it in a p element while still showing the whitespace that the user entered (e.g. multiple spaces and newlines).

Checking for and not printing javascript in generated data?
In my php web app, suppose I want to go the extra mile and in addition to going gangbusters and being anal-retentive about sanitizing my inputs, I also want to ensure that no javascript is being output in strings I am inserting into templated html. Is there a standard way to make sure I don't put javascript in the generated html conten...
Anyone have issues going from ColdFusion's serializeJSON method to PHP's json_decode?
The Interwebs are no help on this one. We're encoding data in ColdFusion using serializeJSON and trying to decode it in PHP using json_decode. Most of the time, this is working fine, but in some cases, json_decode returns NULL. We've looked for the obvious culprits, but serializeJSON seems to be formatting things as expected. What else c...
PHP Session data not being saved
I have one of those "I swear I didn't touch the server" situations. I honestly didn't touch any of the php scripts. The problem I am having is that php data is not being saved across different pages or page refreshes.

Best way to get result count before LIMIT was applied in PHP/postgres
When paging through data that comes from a DB, you need to know how many pages there will be to render the page jump controls. Currently I do that by running the query twice, once wrapped in a count() to determine the total results, and a second time with a limit applied to get back just the results I need for the current page. This se...
PHP page caching
Right now each time the page is loaded the php script is run regenerating the page. For pages like search this is fine, because most searches are different, but for other pages such as the index this is virtually the same for each hit, yet generates a large number of queries and is quite a long script. The problem is some parts of the p...

Saving a web development project from disaster
I have seen the idea at HashRocket for their Rescue Mission that is designed to step in and recover from a failing Rails development project (whether timeline, or budget, or something else will not be met).

Resumable downloads when using PHP to send the file?
We are using a PHP scripting for tunneling file downloads, since we don't want to expose the absolute path of downloadable file: header("Content-Type: $ctype"); header("Content-Length: " . filesize($file)); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$fileName\""); readfile($file); Unfourtunately we noticed that downloads pass...
