I suppose I could use PHP to access $_GET variables from JavaScript: <script> var to = $_GET['to']; var from = $_GET['from']; </script> <script src="realScript" type="text/javascript"></script> But perhaps it's even simpler. Is there a way to do it directly from JS? ...

I need to send a POST request to another server and I'm using the PHP header() function to set the values. I have sample code below. $server = '...
Hello, I'm using PHP to copy JPGs from a remote server to my own server. Is it best to simply use the copy() function, or are the jpeg-specific functions better? For example: $copy = copy($remote_url, $dest_file); -OR- $img = imagecreatefromjpeg($remote_url); $copy = imagejpeg($img, $dest_file); imagedestroy($img); What would th...
I'm trying to think a strategy to automate or simplify content submission. A submission is by default done through a form and counts as one entry (some text fields + a random number of file upload fields). Through a web interface, I can imagine this as a regular form. But how can I automate the process to simplify it? I don't have a pa...

In PHP, you can tell if a given date is during the Daylight Savings Time period by using something like this: $isDST = date("I", $myDate); // 1 or 0 The problem is that this only tells you whether that one point in time is in DST. Is there a reliable way to check whether DST is in effect at any time in that timezone? Edit to clarif...
Hi, I have an issue with PDO that I'd really like to get an answer for after being plagued by it for quite some time. Take this example: I am binding an array of ID's to a PDO statement for use in a MySQL IN statement. The array would be say: $values = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8); The database-safe variable would be $products = implode('...

I've got a database of historical records from WW2 and currently each recorded event's date is stored in one integer field as YYMMDDHHMM. This makes simple tasks like ORDER BY, or searching for all events within a certain time period extremely easy. However, if somebody wants all events that occurred on December 1st in any year of the wa...
How does unbindModel happen in cake? $this->User->unbindModel(array('hasAndBelongsToMany' => array('Friend'))); I wrote this in the beginning of a function. But still it queries the 'Friend' model. There was a call to paginate() in the middle of the function. So I thought the paginator might be generating the queries. I did added an ...
Basically what I have is a system where users get rewarded for every 10 comments. So, in the db, one table captures the comments, and the other a reward for every 10th comment added. For instance, if a user has added 40 comments, they will have 4 rewards/4 rows in table 2. It sounds so simple to me, but I can't seem to figure it. Though...
