pdftotext takes a PDF file and converts the text into a .txt file. How would I go about getting pdftotext to send the results to a php variable instead of a text file? I'm assuming I have to run exec('pdftotext /path/file.pdf') but how do I get the results back? ...

Except in mac mail where I am told that the file is corrupt. Has anyone else run into this problem before? Below is the script I am using: //define the receiver of the email $to = '...
I'm not new to Drupal module development, but am new to the security system. Our users authenticate via a system-wide NetID, so we don't need or want a password. We do, however, still need a local user account so users can post, change their profile, etc. Because we needed this change fairly quickly, I've modified the /modules/user/user...

Users of my website will, ideally, be sending a few hundred posts to a db server over the course of about an hour (basically its an online-experiment). The experiment is implemented in js, so I'm trying to use an XMLHttpRequest object to post the data the script collects. The thing I'm uncertain about is how to use the POST parameter. I...
I have a PHP function that takes a variable number of arguments (using func_num_args() and func_get_args()), but the number of arguments I want to pass the function depends on the length of an array. Is there a way to call a PHP function with a variable number of arguments? ...
I feel stupid asking this question, but I've been wrestling with it for hours and I don't know where else to turn. I have a flash form that is making a POST request to a php script, and then displays the output of the said script. For the sake of simplicity, let's say this is the php script: echo 'Mail sent to: ' . $_POST['recipientEm...
Hello! In my user database table, I take the MD5 hash of the email address of a user as the id. Example: email([email protected]) = id(d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e) Unfortunately, I have to represent the ids as integer values now - in order to be able to use an API where the id can only be an integer. Now I'm looking for a way ...

In PHP/MySQL, what's the best way to generate a unique reference ID so that when a person submits his info to the database, he gets a reference number to follow up with his request? I am already using the auto-increment feature from the database since the data needs to be unique every time a user submits information, but then I need to ...
I'm about to start working on a new project at a somewhat new job, and I've run into a bit of a problem. They're not big fans of MVC. The reason why this bugs me is that they claim they're currently using the Zend Framework when they're really not. They're barely using the DB model classes, and that's about it. No MVC, no extending of Z...

I know that Wordpress supports permalinks, and has some plugins for various permalinks style migration, but I also have to get it working in FlatPress and PivotX, and I don't have URL rewriting support in every place. So far, I wil...
