Is there a way I can set up callbacks on (or automataically log) method parameters, entries, and exits without making explicit calls within each method? I basically want to log this information to my logger class (which is static) without having to do it manually for each method. Right now I have to call Logger::logEntry() and Logger::l...

Hi, I'm looking for a PHP extension that allows me to connect, bind/listen, send, and receive data on a TCP socket. There is a PEAR package Net_Socket: http://pear.php.net/package/Net_Socket But this would require PEAR to be installed which we wouldn't want to do as this increases memory consumption. Is there an available purely C e...

Since MySQL doesn't seem to have any 'boolean' datatype, which datatype do you 'abuse' for storing true/false information in MySQL? Especially in the context of writing and reading from/to a PHP-Script.

I always hear that using "lastInsertId" (or mysql_insert_id() if you're not using PDO) is evil. In case of triggers it obviously is, because it could return something that's totally not the last ID that your INSERT created. $DB->exec("INSERT INTO example (column1) VALUES ('test')"); // Usually returns your newly created ID. // However w...

For the result when getting values I am only looking for an array so I can create any type of view. For adding and removing, it would be nice if the library did it all. Even if the library is within another libr...

I'm trying to highlight the search results but I want to include the surrounding text that is limited by the enclosing tags. So if the $term is "cool" the preg_replace should end up with: <div><span style="background: #f00">My hair cut so cool!</span></div> Unfortunately my regex doesn't seem to capture the surrounding text, only the...

Hi, I want to take a string in PHP and discard everything after a certain character. However, it needs to search for not just one character, but an array of them.
