I'm trying to create a simple AJAX to Telnet client for the web. I may be re-inventing the wheel by doing this, but it is a learning project for myself. At the moment I haven't written anything, I'm just trying to get the idea wrapped around my brain. It doesn't necessarily have to be PHP. If I have a telnet client that supports multipl...
I'm working on a Zend Framework (1.7) project with a structure loosely based on the structure of the quickstart application - front controller, action controllers, views & models that use Zend_Db_Table to get to the database. One of my main models relies on some expensive joins to pull up its primary listing, so I'm looking into using Z...
I've been trying to refactor a "bit" of code that I'd previously developed. Basically, the project was my response to not knowing how to use XSLT effectively, so I developed an XML transformation system in PHP. The program reads through the tags of an XML file and does something along these lines to convert it to HTML: private function ...

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to make a list of everything between <a> and </a> tags. So I have a list of links and I want to get the names of the links (not where the links go, but what they're called on the page). Would be really helpful to me.

Is there a way to distinguish if a script was invoked from the command line or by the web server? (See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/173851/what-is-the-canonical-way-to-determine-commandline-vs-http-execution-of-a-php-s for best answer and more detailed discussion - didn't find that one before posting) I have a (non-production)...

So I've just recently made the step from ad hoc debugging with dump, print_r and echo to some more sophisticated methods and I'm having a struggle. I work with Zend Framework, Aptana and Zend Debugger. At this moment I'm trying to debug a custom controller and whatever I try I don't get to my breakpoint which I understand since there ...
I started using PHP for creating online database driven applications in 1998. Back then, PHP 3 was the state of the art for web development. In the following years I've written a whole bunch of applications and a self-tailored framework for content management and document archiving (which I'm sure is ridiculous compared to solutions that...
I'm rewriting a PHP web site in ASP.NET MVC. I'd like to maintain the same user base but the passwords are hashed using the PHP crypt() function. I need the same function in .Net so that I can hash a password on login and check it against the hashed password in the user database. crypt in this case is using the CRYPT_MD5 implementation ...
Hi, Is that possible to have a single PHP SOAP server which will handle requests to several classes (services)? If yes, could you please show an example implementation? If not, could you please describe why? Thanks in advance, Artem. ...
I was wondering which was better: $lookup = array( "a" => 1, "b" => 2, "c" => 3 ); return $lookup[$key]; or if ( $key == "a" ) return 1 else if ( $key == "b" ) return 2 else if ( $key == "c" ) return 3 or maybe just a nice switch... switch($key){ case "a": return 1; case "b": return 2; case "c": return 3; } I always prefer the f...

Let me explain this better: Normal Query "apple iphone applications" will search the database using %apple iphone application%, but if there aren't records which dis...

I am trying to test a class that manages data access in the database (you know, CRUD, essentially). The DB library we're using happens to have an API wherein you first get the table object by a static call: function getFoo($id) { $MyTableRepresentation = DB_DataObject::factory("mytable"); $MyTableRepresentation->get($id); ... do s...
In HTML, I can find a file starting from the web server's root folder by beginning the filepath with "/". Like: /images/some_image.jpg I can put that path in any file in any subdirectory, and it will point to the right image. With PHP, I tried something similar: include("/includes/header.php"); ...but that doesn't work. I think t...
