I'm looking to setup video uploads for users on a site and want to have them viewed through a Flash player. The site is already partially built (by someone else) and I'm wondering what kind of technologies there are to deal with the video files, specifically in PHP. I'm thinking the files need to be converted to an FLV. After that I thi...
I have a website cgi-bin program that is written in c++. Unfortunately the website provider for my friend's site only allows Perl or PHP cgi-bin scripts. Is there an easy way to simply have a very small Perl or PHP wrapper that just calls the c++ compiled binary? Would the c++ program still be able to read from stdin for POST comman...

Hi All, I usually just work with straight PHP, but want to try MVC and see if a framework will really speed up development. After much waffling, analysis paralysis, and many dumb SO questions, I thought I had settled on CodeIgniter for my next PHP project. However, I am now seriously considering Kohana. Has anyone made the switch fro...
I have this PHP script that I wrote to automatically follow users that post messages with certain terms. It works 100% of the time on a bunch of test accounts but then does not work on the account I'd like to use it with. I've checked the account's API rate limit and it's well within the boundaries. I've also verified that the userna...

I am looking to parse INSERT and UPDATE MySQL SQL queries in PHP to determine what changes where made from what original data. Now this would be pretty easy to create, but I want to see if there are any existing libraries in PHP to do this. Basically what I have is a table with all of the above queries that have been run on a database. ...
What's the best way to take some plain text (not PHP code) which contains PHP-style variables, and then substitute in the value of the variable. This is kinda hard to describe, so here's an example. // -- myFile.txt -- Mary had a little $pet. // -- parser.php -- $pet = "lamb"; // open myFile.txt and transform it such that... $newConten...

Hello, I have the problem, that PHP replaces all spaces with underlines in POST and GET variables. For example if I have the URL: http://localhost/proxy.php?user name=Max the browser will convert it to http://localhost/proxy.php?user%20name=Max. But if I give the $_GET parameters out, the key is not user name but user_name! Is there ...
As far as Google searches tell me, the maximum allowed number of cookies depends very much on the browser, however I cannot find any recent data as to how much cookies are allowed on modern browsers. I need to store a somewhat large number of user preferences in cookies (for not-yet-registered users), so what would be the best way of do...
Hi everyone, I am using a simple Zend_Auth setup to authenticate users for one of my applications, using a check in the preDispatch() method in a controller plugin. When anonymous users navigate to /users/view/id/6 for example, they should be redirected to the above URI after authentication. What is the best way to do this? I'd pre...

I'm using nusoap to connect to a soap webservice. The xml that the class sends to the service is constructed from an array, ie: $params = array("param1" => "value1", "param2" => "value1"); $client->call('HelloWorld', $params, 'namespace', 'SOAPAction'); This works fine. A multidimensional array also constructs a nice nested xml messag...

I have the following equation 1 - ((.5 * 0.83333333333333) ^ 2 + (.5 * 0.83333333333333) ^ 2 + (.5 * (1 - 0.83333333333333)) ^ 2 + (.5 * (1 - 0.83333333333333)) ^ 2) In Php5, this results in an answer of 1 as opposed to .63 (on two machines, OSx and Centos). Should I be exclusively using the bc math functions of Php to do equations l...
