I'm making a site with PHP and MySQL. The big idea is that you can register and you can add objects to your profile. You can have only 1 profile, you can have multiple items(infinite, in theory) and each items can have multiple pictures(infinite, in theory). I'm wondering how to best implement this in MySQL. I've had a very basic educat...
I am having trouble figuring out the best way to approach this problem, I have two different list of items, one in the DB, one not. Both list have item ids and quantity, I need to merge the two list into the DB. My first inclination is to just pull all of the items out of the DB then merge the two list in the application logi...
Can anyone recommend a good Zend Framework friendly table/grid API? I'm developing an information management system and I need a component where I can display all/some of the records, and provide paging, search, sorting, and link to various actions. I've been looking into Dojo with (dojox.grid.Grid) and it just doesn't feel right to me...
Suppose I have an array similar to this (actual values probably will not be so predictable): $ar[0] = 5; $ar[1] = 10; $ar[2] = 15; $ar[3] = 20; and I have $n = 8, what would be a good way to find that $n falls between $ar[0] and $ar[1]? Preferably, the solution would avoid looping through the entire array, as this will probably repeat...

I'm communicating with a SOAP service created with EJB -- it intermittently fails, and I've found a case where I can reliably reproduce. I'm getting a funky ass SOAP fault that says "looks like we got not XML," however, when retrieving the last response I get what is listed below (and what looks like valid XML to me). Any thoughts? ...
It seems that a static variable declared in a function is re-initiated whenever the function is called, how can I use the function in a way that re-calling the function will re-use the static parameter? I defined the function 'testStatic' in static.php here is static.php: <?php function testStatic() { static $staticV = 0; echo...
Hi, I'm trying to iterate in a JSON object that is returned from a PHP script.

Hope the title explains it all, but all I'm trying to do is open some .php files in my web-site solution and have Visual studio treat them as if they are html files. I don't need the actual PHJP code highlighted (it's only includes). The HTML syntax should be parse-able, should it not? ...

Apologies for the awkward wording in this question; I'm still trying to wrap my head around the beast that is Drupal and haven't quite gotten the vocabulary down yet. I'm looking to access all rows in a view as an array (so I can apply some array sorting and grouping functions before display) in a display output? The best I can tell, yo...
