you should be removed and banned from this list for even just THINKING
about using a GOTO! :P
(yes, there are still *SOME* (and i use that loosely) benefits to the
GOTO command, but in reality, no.)

Hello Dholmes1031,
I would write it like this:
switch($foo) {
case 5: $dothis; break;
case 3: $dothat; break;
default: $donothing; break;
}
This sounds like a job for *dun dun dun* GOTO!
Kidding, of course ;)
Cheers,
Rob.

I've written parsers in the past that would have benefited greatly from
GOTO. So, in reality (for me anyways), yes. Also, tracking state
variables or using break with level parameter to escape from multi level
loops isn't any clearer than a goto, so sometimes its succinctness adds
clarity to the code making maintenance simpler. But obviously the above
was in jest :)
Cheers,
Rob.

Rob:
Actually, goto could be used for this -- but I would rather use switch.

People, people, don't you realize that break IS a goto?? It's just one
of limited scope.

Hi, I'm a bit of a newbie at PHP and programming in general.
Reading a PHP book by Larry Ullman, I was given instructions to install
Pear Auth package and also Pear DB.
As the Pear website said that DB has been deprecated in favor of MDB2, I
installed this latter package.
However, I am getting this error message when I require Auth.php...
*Fatal error*: Class 'DB' not found in *
/Users/michaelmitchell/pear/share/pear/Auth/Container/DB.php* on line *150*
*
*
I'm not sure if this means I have done something wrong (if so, what?) or if
this is somehow indicating that the Auth package is referring to the
deprecated Pear DB package? or something else
Thank you if you can help.

Hi Mitch, you could try with
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exif-read-data.php
I did a test with image jpg and this was the result:
FILE . FileName: bruce_lee_black_white.jpg<br/>
FILE . FileDateTime: 1304086298<br/>
FILE . FileSize: 33464<br/>
FILE . FileType: 2<br/>
FILE . MimeType: image/jpeg<br/>
FILE . SectionsFound: COMMENT<br/>
COMPUTED . html: width="353" height="450"<br/>
COMPUTED . Height: 450<br/>
COMPUTED . Width: 353<br/>
COMPUTED . IsColor: 1<br/>
COMMENT . 0: LEAD Technologies Inc. V1.01<br/>
Anyway taking account
*EXIF headers tend to be present in JPEG/TIFF images generated by digital
cameras, but unfortunately each digital camera maker has a different idea of
how to actually tag their images, so you can't always rely on a specific
Exif header being present. *
Regards.
Gerardo.

This is a known shortcoming of the GD library. You won't have that issue with
ImageMagick: http://php.net/book.imagick

It wasn't a form, it was an HTML <a> tag

I sure hope that's behind something a search engine can't find, otherwise you
could find yourself without a lot of things that it deleted as it follows all
the links. I think I read a couple of things similar to this on daily wtf...

Hi everyone,
I allow my users to put some Html into their blogs. I filter it using
a great tool called HtmLawed and written by Dr. Santosh Patnaik (if
you're reading this, many thanks to you!).
However, I would like to give them a possibility to mark-up their text
in a more convenient way for beginners (such as Wiki or something
similar).
I searched through http://phpclasses.org/ but didn't find anything.
Could you suggest me something?
And one more question: maybe some of you already have a handy solution
to process smilies? Say, a user writes ":)" and this is replaced by an
image in my directory.
Thanks in advance!
