Hi guys, I've come across a rather strange, and very anoying problem. On /some/ PHP sites that we're developing on 2 different servers, files that are in the root of the website are unable to load files using relative paths (they need to be given the full "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\website\www\folder\file.txt" rather then "folder/file.txt")....

Hi, How can i test if a name is valid for a domain name ? I don't know how to write such a regular expression.. Thanks for your help Regards, Fred

My brain is frozen on a convenient way to figure out if today is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or last Thursday of the month. Basically I need something that will figure this out for any given day for any given month. date() has everything BUT a 0-5 return for this. -- Sugapablo - russpghREMOVE@stargate.net http://www.sugapablo.com | ICQ:...

Has anyone already solved the not-enough-information problem when using the -l (lint) switch to check syntax? I make heavy use of include(), so when php complains about some syntax problem, the line number it reports is never even close to correct. And since even the lint switch doesn't cause the alleged offending line to be written out,...

I've been looking for a good and free code beautifier that runs on linux. About the only ones I found where Trita (www.trita.com), which costs money and only runs on windows. The other one was Beautify PHP (www.bierkandt.org/beautify) which does not offer all the features I'd like to have. I'm also more interested in something that is not...

Hi- I'm completely stumped. I'm trying to write some code that will parse a file and rewrite it with all URLs replaced by something else. For example: if the file looks like this: <b>click here</b><a href="http://www.cnn.com">click me</a> ... then the output should be this:

I started using PHP's object-oriented stuff a little while ago, which has mostly been a joy. However, I've noticed that they don't seem to echo as I would like. Eg: $this->field = 255; $this->key = 'id'; echo "$this->key is $this->field"; // prints "id is Array" // Thus I am forced to do this $keyval = $this->field;

is there a way i can count the number of files in a server side directory using php? i'm not sure if this sort of thing is possible at all (i'm new to php) but would appreciate any tips or scripts anyone could point me to. thanks a bunch, jb

Greetings! I've installed Apache 2.0.xx and PHP 4.3.2. I want to use Ming as a module to PHP. The instructions that came with Ming say to: as a php module (unix) download php_ming.so.gz uncompress it and copy it to your php modules directory (you can find your php module directory by running php-config --extension-dir)

Hi all, Because of a chroot jail a web site that I'm working on is in (I don't know much about the jail stuff), I can't use sendmail to send email through a PHP script. The sys admin said he's put a copy of the basic unix mail into the jail that I can use. Now I assume I can use this by just doing a shell_exec, but for some reason, I...

This has nothing to do with PHP, but I ask it here since I do most of my programming in PHP. What do you think the best book on design patterns is? The book can be written for C or Java or in the abstract. What was useful to you and why?

Well today my mySQL server has been stuttering because of high traffic. Every...
