My question involves learning web development fundamentals and I have heard that Ruby on Rails can allow too much to be done in the background via Magic. I have so far done some learning in both Php and Ruby and while...

Does Joomla store the ORIGINAL non-SEF URL anywhere ie. index.php?com=com_fred&view=homepage? I've found that any ...
I seem to have a bizarre error I just can't quite figure out. My website was working on one server, but when I transferred it to a new one it stopped working. I believe I've narrowed the error down to this line of code: $ret = move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $orig_path); This is executed through an AJAX call so it's a little bit tricky ...

EDIT: After feedback from my original post, I've change the text to clarify my problem. I have the following query (pseudo code): $conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password'); mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'; COLLATE='utf8_danish_ci';"); mysql_query("SELECT id FROM myTable WHERE name = 'Fióre`s måløye'", $conn); ...
Hello! In PHP 5, I use intval() whenever I get numbers as an input. This way, I want to ensure that I get no strings or floating numbers. My input numbers should all be in whole numbers. But when I get numbers >= 2147483647, the signed integer limit is crossed. What can I do to have an intval() equivalent for numbers in all sizes? Her...
To quote some famous words: “Programmers… often take refuge in an understandable, but disastrous, inclination towards complexity and ingenuity in their work. Forbidden to design anything larger than a program, they respond by making that program intricate enough to challenge their professional skill.” While solving some mundane pro...

I am experimenting with the Zend_Validate_Between class.
