I want to do keyword expansion on the string that the user entered. For instance, if the user entered 'foo', I want to execute a search for 'foo' and 'bar'. There should ul...

We've built a web service that needs to check constantly for email messages. Basically, an user sends us an email, and the server should make actions based on that email. We could use a crontab PHP script that checks for new messages every minute, with POP. But that's kind of offensive to the popserver and not very efficient (1min is too...

Our boxes all run on IIS7 and although we've followed the instructions for configuring it, it isn't loading the decoder library.

I initially started off with a small project, editing php files and such in notepad++. It used to be easy to think of a feature, and add it on as a separate file onto the project. As the project became larger, my productivity began to decrease because I couldn't remember all of the functions I made, and where they were stored etc... Then...

I got sick of writing queries in my PHP as: "WHERE '" . Database::escape($var) . "'"; The escape() function just calls mysql_real_escape_string() - but it's there so I can extend support to other databases later. Having to single quote strings in the query was making my code more cluttered. So my idea was to create an other function ...
