I'm a big fan of simpletest because it's what I know. It has excellent support for mocking and web-testing. But I'm always scared of stagnating so any compelling arguments to switch would be appreciated. ...

Hi All, I am building a PHP app in CodeIgniter. CI sends all requests to the main controller, /index.php.

The rule is as follows: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond $1 !^(images|inc|favicon\.ico|index\.php|robots\.txt) RewriteRu...

Let's say we have a method signature like public static function explodeDn($dn, array &$keys = null, array &$vals = null, $caseFold = self::ATTR_CASEFOLD_NONE) we can easily call the method by omitting all parameters after $dn: $dn=Zend_Ldap_Dn::explodeDn('CN=Alice Baker,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com'); We can also call the metho...
I'm porting an application from php to fastcgi (c). My host runs apache. Since the fastcgi app would be running in a loop, I could open a mysql connection, and leave it open for all incoming requests. Is this recommended? I think I've read about an equal number of opinions saying the connection is way more expensive than the request an...
Hi all, I'm currently running into some issues resizing images using GD. Everything works fine until i want to resize an animated gif, which delivers the first frame on a black background. I've tried using getimagesize but that only gives me dimensions and nothing to distinguish between just any gif and an animated one. Actual resizi...

I have an existing web app that allows users to "rate" items based on their difficulty. (0 through 15). Currently, I'm simply taking the average of each user's opinion and presenting the average straight from MySQL. However, it's becoming clear to me (and my users) that weighting the numbers would be more appropriate. Oddly enough, a...

Hello, In PHP, I can write: $vname = 'phone'; $$vname = '555-1234'; print $phone; ... And the script will output "555-1234". Is there any equivalent in Perl? Edit: Thanks, CMS.
