Hello all, my name is Kirk Bailey, and I am new to php, so please be
forbearing. I code in python, and am trying to learn this language as our

I need a routine that will return a list of every directory immediately
under the current directory- but nothing else, just a list of directories, 1
level deep, NO FILES, no listing of current dir or prior dir either.
Now in python, I would use os.walk, and use the list of dirs and throw the
other 2 lists away, but this ain't Kansas anymore. Does php even DO lists?
Um, a list is a 1 dimenional array, if have a list ALIST and you plug in 3,
you get back the contents of cell 3 in the list, whaqtever that content is.
so if cell 3 in a 6 celled list was Ruby then ALIST[3] would return the
string ruby.
It's easy to iterate lists. For instance:
print 'ul'
for dir in ALIST:
print 'lia href=\/dir,dir,'/a
print '/ul
This would let me produce an ordered list of directories, each a link to
that directory.
This way, when a client installs a new product, the home page area listing
products offered automatically updates.
Further embellishment would let me replace the dir name with a BRIEF
description from a descriptor file read from that dir. Now how to do this in
php?

Sent from my iPhone
I'm not sure CodeIgniter would be of any help here. I don't recall any
function in the CodeIgniter framework that lists directories like this,
so he'd still have to end up coding it himself.
Also, python tends to be used more for command line stuff than websites.
CodeIgniter does have a CLI extension, but the app would just be
severely bloated running an entire PHP framework for what might only
need a light script. Bit like using a sledgehammer to hammer in a thumb
tack, can be done, but not really the best tool for the job.

Here is the query: select m.* from Members m inner join Member_Years my on m.aucciim_id = my.member_id where now() DATE_ADD(DATE_SUB(concat(`member_year` + 1,'-07-01'), INTERVAL 1 DAY), INTERVAL 30 DAY) AND m.`Preferred_First_Name` LIKE 'Don' AND m.`Preferred_Last_Name` LIKE 'Wieland' group by m.AUCCIIM_ID order by m.preferred_last_name What is causing it to choke via PHP? This is actually better-suited to the DB list (CC'd) than the General list, but one primary question: are you using the mysql_* family, mysqli_* family, or another method of interfacing with MySQL? -- /Daniel P.

Don Don, Have you tried to run the query in either MySQL workbench or the command line to ensure that query is SQL syntax error free? From the error message, it sounds more like a SQL syntax error. If you're able to run the query fine in the workbench or the command line, then it's a possibility there's a bug with the mysql extension which I highly doubt.

I thought this had a default RegEx lib, or does it have something extra for that? No, I mistyped, it's not your fault. I meant: which function are you using to execute the regexp? As for the code, here's the part that I think *should* work, but doesn't do the trick for me: $s = preg_replace(/\[i\]((\s|.)+?)\[\/i\]/, i\\1/i, $s); This is exactly what I meant when I erroneously said, library. -- /Daniel P.

The cases keep changing and there's a lot of other suggestions that you said you've tried. Just doing that on my local machine works without error, so it's likely the result of another part of the code --- hence why the query works externally. -- /Daniel P.
