Hi All, I am new to mysqli, and trying to confirm that if I so something like the below, the errno will be set to the last error, if any, and not the error of the last query. Is this a decent practice or should I be checking for the error in between every query? Thanks! $mysqli->autocommit(FALSE); $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO ........
I'm looking to generate a random number and issue it to a table in a database for a particular user_id. The catch is, the same number can't be used twice. There's a million ways to do this, but I'm hoping someone very keen on algorithms has a clever way of solving the problem in an elegant solution in that the following criteria is met: ...
For example, I hate typing things like: $x = mysql_escape_string(stripslashes($_GET['x'])); Is there a way to alias those two functions in init.php or something without writing a separate function that takes one argument and returns that argument with those functions applied to it? My C/C++ is not very good, but I think this is sort ...
Does anyone know of a freeware shipping calculator for PHP? I do not want anything too fancy, and it can be compatible with any of the major US domestic shipping services. If anyone knows of one that is a plugin for CodeIgniter that would be nice. Travis ...
Could anyone point me in the right direction for a shipping calculator? I would like something simple and I don't want to sign up for too much stuff. EDIT: I do not want to deal with all the registering and stuff the API would require... I think I may just try to make one using the zone charts USPS provides. ...
Hi Stackers I am trying to use this in my page class. I only just started using objects in PHP so I'm still a little clueless (but learning as much as I can). This is in my page() function (so called when there is a new instance of page) set_error_handler('$this->appendError'); This is causing an error Warning: set_error_handler() e...
I am using Zend_Db to insert some data inside a transaction. My function starts a transaction and then calls another method that also attempts to start a transaction and of course fails(I am using MySQL5). So, the question is - how do I detect that transaction has already been started? Here is a sample bit of code: try { ...

I installed XAMPP on my computer which is running Windows XP SP3. Installation was successful. I made a PHP file (index.php) and placed it in my htdoc folder and then tried to open http://localhost/index.php in my browser. It is automatically going to http://localhost/xampp instead. It is not opening index.php. What have I done wrong?...

I need to have the output of a PHP snippet in a Plone site. It was delivered to be a small library that has a display() function, in PHP, that outputs a line of text.

The situation I'm trying to solve: in my Cocoa app, I need to encrypt a string with a symmetric cipher, POST it to PHP, and have that script decode the data. The process needs to work in reverse for returning an answer (PHP encodes, Cocoa decodes). I'm missing something because even though I can get both the key and initialization vect...
I'm reading all the files in a single directory and I want to filter on JPG,JPEG,GIF and PNG. Both capital and small letters. Those are the only files to be accepted.

Hi, What is the easiest way to highlight the difference between two strings in PHP? I'm thinking along the lines of the Stack Overflow edit history page, where new text is in green and removed text is in red. If there are any pre-written functions or classes available, that would be ideal. Thanks in advance. ...
For my web application running on LAMP, I need to be able to deploy database migrations and code changes on multiple servers and be able to test deployment afterwards, all of this automatically done by scripts. Currently I'm torn between using directly my build tool (Phing) with some special deployment/test tasks, or shell scripts, or a...
For most production sites, you want to know when there has been an error as soon as possible. My question is how best to get this information. Usually, it's probably best to get the errors in an email as I'm not going to sit every day and watch error logs until there is an error--this would be impossible since I have 20 or more producti...
I'm basically wondering what is included in each error level, as found here in PHP. Example, where does an unset variable or key fall? Or where does a parse fall? I can't seem to find any documentation on the PHP website or general internet regarding this. Edit: I'm looking for a list of what error causes what error level/type or the ot...
