Hi Folk I want to create something like AMAZON: those who liked page A also liked page B (I am going to apply the concept to a few different selections, but to keep it simple I will talk about page popularity here - like AMAZON talks about purchase patterns: those who bought A also bought B, C and D).

Hi there! I've set up PHP 5.0.5.5 on an Windows 2003 system running IIS (yes yes, have I considered Apache? Unable, other factors at play). I wrote a simple test PHP that does nothing but phpinfo(), and it works great. The moment I activate mysql support, trying to execute the script results in a perpetual wait until timeout. I have...

Business critical data will be entered via forms and inserted in to a database (mysql). I've google "php security" and from what I've read, I should: 1) Filter all form data by stripping all non-alpha/numeric...

Is it possible to scan the html or plain text of a frame? I would like to load a remote page into a frame, then 'scan' the html for specific content. Preferably, I would like to check for specific strings of text so that I can call my own functions depending on the content of the frame. Cheers.

Has anyone got a function (or class) that will take a string and encrypt it into printable characters, then a similar function that will decrypt it again, without the need to call external programs (eg: pgp, etc)? Ideally the number of characters in the encrypted strng should not be the same as the decrypted version either. Thanks, Chris
