As i said before, its 20 min past midnight, and when i do check the date using php as date("Y-m-d"); and date("Y-m-d",strtotime("now")); i still get the previous days' date. I expected a lot of things to go wrong while coding but definitely not this. I wouldnt even have it in the list of potential-things-that-could-go-wrong. I have ref...
Hello: I have a simple webpage that displays the credit balance for calling cards. So far without any problems, with HTML, PHP and mysql, I was able to retrieve the balance from a data base.

Hello, I am aware of that there are a number of code obfuscators/licensing programs for PHP. I wanted to know if anyone has actually used these and what their experience has been. Please note I do not want to know the solutions available. I want to know your experience using one of these solutions. Is it worth investing say 200$ purcha...
This might be a really dumb question, but is it dumb to load the data that is in between the tags in a file and load it via PHP include()? That way it would allow for easier editing. Thanks. ...
Greetings! Although I am working in Dreamweaver, this question may be general enough for PHP/MySQL experts to comment on. $colname_get_voice_search_men = "-1"; if (isset($_POST['search_type'])) { $colname_get_voice_search_men = $_POST['search_type']; } mysql_select_db($database_conn_talent, $conn_talent); $query_get_voice_search_men ...
I am making a Wordpress plugin that provides updates in the widget section of the page - everything works fine. The one thing that doesn't is the ajax callback (using load with jquery). It appears that Wordpress is blocking direct access to the php file that I am trying to load (it is in /wp-content/plugins/myplugin). How should I be ...
I beleive the website 'whatsbetter.com' (defunct) used a Condorcet method for comparing two images such that they could join a list of ranked images, and also have data stored about their performance against each other over time. I would like to implement something like this myself. I don't want to over complicate it. My brain isn't g...
I have got a demo script that lets me authorize with my app and sends back my token. But all this crap is confusing as hell. I have always used username and password in my CURL or simpleXML functions to authorize the API call. What the hell is going on with this oauth thing by comparison? I get that i will store the token, but what do ...
I have a table that looks like: Client_ID | Order_ID | 10 | 1 | 10 | 2 | 10 | 3 | 14 | 6 | 14 | 7 | 14 | 9 | Is there an elegant way in PHP of printing out this result set putting in evidence the client_id groups instead of making a loop that remembe...

Basically all I know about servers is how to ssh into my server... and thats about it. I was hoping it would be as easy as doing something like apt-get {blah}... but I have no idea. Can anyone provide ...
I am having one problem with the PHP json_encode function. It encodes numbers as strings (e.g. array('id' => 3 becomes "{ ["id": "3", ...) When js encounters these values, it interprets them as strings and numeric operations fail on them. Does anyone know some way to prevent json_encode from encoding numbers as strings? Thank you! ...
Hey people! I was wondering if anyone can share a source for Rabin-Karp algorithm? Thanks ...
My application (obviously) uses a unique ID to distinguish records. This UID is passed in URLs (e.g. ./examplepage.php?UID=$example_int), among other things. While I obviously have server-side validation in place to make sure clients don't access other clients' data, is there a two-way encryption method I can use in PHP to only pass en...
I'm attempting something like the following: switch ($p) { foreach ($modules as $m) { case '"'.$mod.'"': include 'modules/'.$m.'/cases.php'; break; } } but can't get it to work. Is it possible to use a for loop in this manner, inside a switch? ...
I commonly see people setting $_SESSION variables as $_SESSION['example']=$_REQUEST['something']; $example=$_SESSION['example']; is this redundant? I am currently working on a new server and $_SESSION['example']=$_REQUEST['something']; gives me access to $example without any extra code is this normal or a php configuration makin...

I guess the title says it all. If I have many settings that I want to store in a cookie, should I create multiple cookies with one option each, or one big cookie with multiple options in a serialized array or something? Are there any pros/cons for either approach? What do most people do? ...
I have a Ruby script that's being used to do some API calls/screen scraping, but our main app is in PHP. Our PHP app is using shell_exec() to call the Ruby script. The ruby script works great when called from the command line–but it will randomly exits early when called via PHP's shell exec. Here's an example of the Ruby script: #!/...
