How would one go about deleting all of the directories in a directory tree that have a certain name if the only access to the server available is via FTP? To clarify, I would like to iterate over a directory tree and delete every directory whose name matches a certain string via FTP. A way to implement this in PHP would be nice - where...
Besides the sample applications featured in the books Beginning Groovy and Grails and The Definitive Guide to Grails, are there any applications out there written in Grails that are good examples from which to learn best practices? Such as real applications that are open-source? Thanks. ...
I'm having major rendering issues in Safari with the web application I'm working on. Most of the design is done with divs using absolute positioning. This renders fine on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Netscape, and konqueror. In Safari, it's just a jumbled mess. Does Safari lack support for absolute positioning of div ...

I've been a PHP developer for many years now, with many tools under my belt; tools that I've either developed myself, or free-to-use solutions that I have learned to trust. I looked into CodeIgniter recently, and discovered that they have many classes and helper routines to aid with development, yet saw nothing in the examples that I co...

Typical search criteria include price/zip code/# bedrooms/etc. I would like to allow the user to save this criteria in a database and email new homes daily. I could either: 1) Serialize a "SavedSearch" object into a string and save that to the database, the...
I'm setting up a new server, and want to support UTF-8 fully in my web application. I have tried in the past on existing servers and always seem to end up having to fall back to ISO-8859-1. Where exactly do I need to set the encoding/charsets? I'm aware that I need to configure Apache, MySQL and PHP to do this - is there some standard c...
I have written code that automatically creates CSS sprites based on the IMG tags in a page and replaces them with DIV's with (what I thought was) appropriate CSS to position the sprite image as a background letting the appropriate part show through -- the problem is that I cannot get DIVs to behave as drop in replacements for IMGs. If...
Hi friends, I have created a site, which parses XML files and display its content on the appropriate page. Is my site a dynamic web page or static web page?

I'm working on deploying a small community site. User registration requires nothing more than a username, email address, and password. I'm not even asking for a name, and certainly not storing any sensitive data. Should I still invest in an SSL certificate? Would it be considered terrible practice to transmit a user's password without o...

Up till now all my programming experience has been desktop development (mostly C/C++ with OpenGL/DirectX) but I'm interested in trying my hand at some web dev.
