I'm including a file init.php which defines path constants. So if I include init.php in a file (index.php) and then in another file (layout/header.php)... is init.php parsed before being added to these files or is it added to the parent file and then the parent file is parsed as a whole? EDIT: Why this is important is because init.php d...
How can I find out the name of the fields in a PDF file using PHP? The only thing I can think of is converting the PDF file to HTML, but that really sounds like overkill.

Hi, I'm trying to fetch data from a div (based on his id), using PHP's PCRE. The goal is to fetch div's contents based on his id, and using recursivity / depth to get everything inside it. The main problem here is to get other divs inside the "main div", because regex would stop once it gets the next </div> it finds after the initial <d...

I've experienced first hand the extent of the horror and foot-shooting that the ugliness of PHP can cause.

I've got some models defined, and I've started ...
