PHP default host best practices

I've got my dev and production environments all setup, and the mysql
DBs working fine. What need to do is set the mysql.default_h ost option
in php.ini to be one thing on dev, and something different on
production. Unfortunately, my web host doesn't allow me to mess with
php.ini.

So, what's the best way to specify a different host to mysql_connect()
on dev and production. Yes, I could manually edit the variable
everything I FTP, but I'd rather not.

Should I use a global variable in a separate include file? Other
options?

Thanks.

I usually use an include file in which I define this type of settings.
In case of the database host it's usually localhost though, unless you
run the database server on a seperate server.

HTH.

I am in the process of moving a site from one hosting company to another. This site is fairly large, with hundreds of asp files, each with multiple "include" statements. The new host has a different webspace folder structure for it's clients than the old host. At the moment, this is forcing me to have to append all the paths for all the include statements (not to mention all the other path-related code) to make things work. Example:

http://www.JavascriptToolbox.com/bestpractices/ I started writing this up as a guide for some people who were looking for general tips on how to do things the 'right way' with Javascript.

The above URL is version 1.0 (draft) that resulted. IMO, it is not a replacement for the FAQ,...

Could anyone recommend a book (or a web site) that defines best practices in ASP.NET application development? E.g. 1) Precede your control id's with type of control btnSubmit, txtName, etc. 2) Group relevant .aspx files into subfolders within your project etc.

Suppose I have this function: def f(var=1): return var*2 What value do I have to pass to f() if I want it to evaluate var to 1? I know that f() will return 2, but what if I absolutely want to pass a value to f()? "None" doesn't seem to work.. Thanks in advance.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
