Hello! I'm trying to setup an Apache/PHP/Postgresql server locally on my machine.

NOTE: the dialog...
I'm just starting with CI, and am not sure where things such as css, js, images should go. Outside the whole system folder seems ok, but that means everything is seperate. Inside mean s the filepaths are longer and I'm worried that it might mess things up. What's the official line on this? ...
In our web-app we use PHP5.2.6 + PDO to connect to a SQL Server 2005 database and store Russian texts. Database collation is Cyrillic_General_CI_AS, table collation is Cyrillic_General_CI_AS, column type is NVARCHAR(MAX). We tried connecting to a database using two following schemes, both causing different problems. PDO mssql: $dbh ...
In your opinion, which PHP CMS has the best architecture? I don't care about how easy its admin panel is to use, or how many CMS features it has. Right now, I'm after how good its code is (so, please, don't even mention Drupal or Wordpress /shudder). I want to know which ones have a good, solid, OOP codebase. Please provide as much de...
I am using PHP with Apache on Linux, with sendmail. I use the PHP mail() function. The email is sent, but the envelope has the Apache_user@localhostname in MAIL FROM (example [email protected]) and some remote mailservers reject this because the domain doesn't exist (obviously). Using PHP mail(), can I force change the envelope M...
If I have $var defined in Page1.php and in Page2.php I have //Page2.php include('Page1.php'); echo $var; For what reasons will it not print the value of $var to the screen? The files are in the same directory so paths shouldn't be the issue. I've checked the php.ini file and nothing really jumps out at me. Any ideas? Thanks ...
I'm refactoring some PHP code and discovered that certain nested combinations of if () : and if () { generate syntax errors. Not that I would normally mix the two, but I like to do frequent syntax checks as I'm writing code and I kept getting a syntax error because of this. Example - generates syntax error: if ( $test == 1 ) :...

I'm trying to generate a unique ID in php in order to store user-uploaded content on a FS without conflicts. I'm using php, and at the moment this little snippet is responsible for generating the UID: $id = tempnam (".", ""); unlink($id); $id = substr($id, 2); This code is hideous: it creates a temporary file on the FS and deletes it...
I have a function that looks like this class NSNode { function insertAfter(NSNode $node) { ... } } I'd like to be able to use that function to indicate that the node is being inserted at the start, therefore it is after nothing. The way I think about that is that null means "nothing", so I'd write my function call like...
Hi all, I have a script which calls mysql_connect() to connect to a MySQL DB. When I run the script in a browser, it works as expected. However, when I run it from a command line I recieve the error Call to undefined function mysql_connect() This seems completely paradoxical. Anyone have any ideas as how I can run it from the comman...
Is it a problem if you use the global keyword on variables you don't end up using? Compare: function foo() { global $fu; global $bah; if (something()) { $fu->doSomething(); } else { $bah->doSomething(); } } function bar() { if (something()) { global $fu; $fu->doSomething(); } ...

Does anyone know if I can pull up to date exchange rates off the net somewhere in an easy-to-parse format I can acce...
Why can't I pass the table name to a prepared PDO statement? $stmt = $dbh->prepare('SELECT * FROM :table WHERE 1'); if ($stmt->execute(array(':table' => 'users'))) { var_dump($stmt->fetchAll()); } Is there another safe way to insert a table name into a SQL query? With safe I mean that I don't want to do $sql = "SELECT * FROM $tab...
Hello, I have to produce RSS/Atom feed in various applications, and I want to know a good lib/class wich is able to produce both, and which already handle all common problems. For example the one I used for year does not put the right format for date, so my feed is not well handled by several aggregators. Thanks, Cédric Update : W...

Hello, On a server I have to take care of, errors from a vhost do not go to the standard PHP error log. In the php.ini we have log = /var/log/file and phpinfo() does not show any difference between the vhost and the whole server. But the callback function set up by set_error_handler() catches errors which are not in the php log. ...
