I'm sure I'm not the only one but I'm trying to remove some of the elements within OpenX's source code that mention OpenX so I can fully whitelabel it (which should be possible).

Hi, i was wondering if anybody knows of a nice scripting language that can be embedded into php? Javascript would be favorite and although there are several attempts they are either much too shaky/slow/outdated (phpjs, j4p5) or a real pain to get up and running on shared hosts (pecl spidermonkey). The background is: I would like to ha...

I'm very poor with regexps but this should be very simple for someone who knows regexps. Basically I will have a string like this: <if>abc <else>xyz I would like a regexp so if the string contains <if> <else>, it splits the string into two parts and returns the two strings after <if> and <else>. In the above example it might return a...

I have written this code having not used PHP for 2 years now to loop through a folder of photos and write them to the page in alphabetical order. It is a fairly simple request but it took me the best part of 15 minutes to write. if ($handle = opendir('photos')) { $count = 0; $list[] = array(); while (false !== ($file = readdir($ha...
I am working through some code done by a previous developer. I'm pretty new to PHP so I am wondering if there is any well known pattern or solution to this problem.
