RD> I do wonder if either of the above methods would force the RD> browser to never cache the CSS file locally You know, I didn't think about that, as I've never personally used this method. I've never had a need. Thinking about it now, I would also think that you may need to send a content-type header of "text/css" to the browser, as well, though I'm not positive on this. OT --> Consequently, I've had a lot of trouble with IE caching any CSS file for a site I'm working on. Works perfectly in Mozilla, but IE has all sorts of bugs. It's loading the page before the CSS every time, so you get this flash of unformatted data. The client and most of their site users use IE, so I have to make it work. My boss found an odd work-around, though. If you put " " at the very top, just inside the tag, then it will work just fine and load in the CSS first every time. I don't know the logic behind it, but, if it's IE, does there have to be any logic? ;-) -- Regards, Ben Ramsey http://benramsey.com http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/People/BenRamsey -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: php and CSS level 2
Why not just make your CSS script end with the .php extension instead of .css? Then, the server will automatically parse it (most likely it will--depending on your server setup, of course). You can link to it from your HTML page like you would your CSS: or Aidan Lister wrote: Your question indicates you have very little understanding of what PHP actually is. PHP will be parsed anywhere in any script, as long as your webserver is set to parse that type of file (ie, .php by default). 1. In your webserver config you need to make .css files parsed by php 2.

Ive seen $a == 34 etc - with TWO equals signs. - But havnt seen it with 3 before. Yes, it's proper code. See the manual for more details. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php - Has PHP got 'regex' capability - & comparing text case IN-sensitivly ?? IE "Cat" equals "CaT" equals "cat" equals "CAT".. Also "Cat in the hat" is TRUE - if I 'regex' & want to see if 'Cat' is in the string (case in-sensitive)... Indeed. PHP does have regex capability. You should take a good look at the manual. It will answer all of your questions. Perl-compatible regular expressions: http://www.php.net/pcre POSIX Extended regular expressions: http://www.php.net/regex I would suggest using PCRE. There is a increased speed performance difference, I believe. You can perform case insensitive and case sensitive searches with PCRE. Just read the manual, and ask here if you have any questions with code after that. Also, note that ("cat" == "cat") but ("Cat" != "CaT"). However, I wouldn't do a string comparison like that, though PHP is definately capable of it. I would use strcmp() or strcasecmp(), the latter of which is case insensitive. Check the manual for their usage, and note that they return zero (0) on true. -- Regards, Ben Ramsey http://benramsey.com http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/People/BenRamsey -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] CMS Templating with Standards Based HTML Delima...
Hi, There are a few steps to do befor you go ahead and choose a CMS. One of them, is determining your needs. Second is looking at the major projects and see how each of them answer your needs. The size of the community supporting the project. Code quality (does it re-use existing code from the community ie: did they recode their database abstraction layer or used PearDB) How many database it support (mysql is good, but maybe you want to offer the choice to your customer) Is done in 00 ? Does it have search engine friendly url by default (many cms generate really long url) Does it support many languages (in my case this is important to be able to manage a multi-langual website). And the most important one, Is it easy to modify and is their a good user and programmer reference and manual. Plus doing a set of bench mark might be interesting to do, to know how many visitors the system can handle If none answer exactly your need, (say 90%) why not code the 10% and give it to the community instead of recoding the hole thing. Coding such a system is complexe, and will require alot of energy, will the community could provid most of the work. Here are a couple website that could help you choose. http://www.opensourcecms.com/ http://www.cmsreview.com/ http://www.cmsinfo.org/ Another quit way to get around the most popular CMS would be to attend to our CMS debate (will be in french) at the PHP Quebec Conference. In 2 hours we will go around the most critical needs that a CMS should offer, and how the most popular project like :TikiWiki, Spip, Xoops, Typo3, Zope, answer them. Personally i use xoops for the PHP Quebec community website http://www.phpquebec.org i also saw breifly tikiwiki seems a great product. Good luck.

[PHP] Re: CMS Templating with Standards Based HTML Delima...
Adam, The question you ask is an important one. Is there a CMS out there that meets your client's needs that you don't have to write from scratch? In short, the answer is "no." I've sifted through mounds and mounds of CMSes, and I haven't found one that I really like. It's really up to your own tastes and the requirements of the project. I've always had to write one from scratch due to project requirements. Though, I hope to eliminate that need in the future with the CMS I am currently developing. So, how can I help you? I can't tell you the name of an end-all-be-all CMS solution. But I can point you to a place to look for open-source solutions. That place is Sourceforge.net. Go there and search Software/Group for "Content Management". You'll get tons of results. Sift through those results and try the ones that sound like they fit your needs. There're are a couple of notable ones that may fit your requirements (e.g. phpWebSite boasts compliant XHTML 1.0 output--though I've never tried it). -Ben Adam Reiswig wrote: I have just been to hotscripts.com looking under their php area for good cms software.

[PHP] Re: Function to check a valid date
Your likely to find many ways to do this and many functions with many lines of code that do many variations of what you want. Can I use the word "many" many more times? Such is the way with programming. Here's my take on it. Pull all your values into one long string: $date_string = "{$_POST["week_day"]}, {$_POST["month"]} {$_POST["day"]}, {$_POST["year"]}"; Now, you have a string in the format "Saturday, March 20, 2004". Now, use strtotime() to figure out whether it's a valid date: if (($timestamp = strtotime($date_string)) === -1) { // Not a valid date; do some error reporting here } else { // It is a valid date, $timestamp is now a valid Unix // timestamp of $date_string; use it like below: echo date("m/d/Y", $timestamp); } See also http://us4.php.net/strtotime Chris Bruce wrote: Hello all, I was going to build a function to check whether a selected date exists, but thought that I would see if anyone has done this type of thing already which would indeed save me some time.

Some people are really good at impromptu speaking and can wing it, This is a valid issue, but as a speaker I can tell you that after a few conferences under my belt things don't always go as planned. There was one talk in particular on the cruise where I had no choice but to "wing it" based on what I had in front of me.

What looks good on I again agree, that too often people use a font that is too small to be seen and that was something that presenters could have done a better job with. However when it comes to the cables part, I have to defend the speakers. The conference had no idea that one projector would have only an s-video input, and if they had I consider it the job of the conference to inform us of that -- I've never been to a conference that didn't provide an vga-input and would personally fully expect to see one that did. > 3) Typing Code: Don't type code during your presentation.

We don't need you to show us how. > When you begin a presentation by opening up a text editor and typing The last session I gave was on Smarty, during which I had 10 slides and the rest of the talk I was in my IDE doing stuff with code. Given I did have examples prepared, I did do a fair amount of "typing" during the talk and from everything I've heard it was a very successful talk. One of the most successful presentations I've ever seen was given by Don Box at Microsoft... it was a small group of us and he just started off his talk by asking for a list of XML-related topics we wanted to hear about... he wrote them all down on the whiteboard and just started talking off-the-cuff.

Also, on that note -- attendees seem to really love when things go wrong. I've been told, see, and actually experienced this phenomenon. When your trying to give a presentation and something doesn't quite go as expected, the experience of watching how you solve that problem (since they probably have experienced the same) is very valuable to them.

[PHP] Comparing 2 files
Dear list. I want to compare two text files and print the differences. The text files contain the structure of a database, so they are very big (>6000 lines). The file looks like that: TABLENAME#COLUMNNAME#DATATYPE#DATALENGTH#DATAPRECISION#NULLS ... I only check if the datatype and nulls are different. If so, then the two lines of the files will be printed. I tried to do that and it works excellent if there aren't many differences, but if there are many diffs, it takes time and time. What I do now is to read the to files to an array and get the differences with array_diff $array1=file('file1.txt'); $array2=file('file2.txt'); $result1 = array_diff($array1,$array2); $result2 = array_diff($array2,$array1); After that I do the following: foreach ($result1 as $line1) { foreach ($result2 as $line2) { // compare the two lines and show the differences; continue; } } Is there a better way to do that (and of course faster)?
