Very basic solution: use 3 editboxes and short javascript sample to confirm
input.
Like
[__]/[__]/[]
...
And fill 'timeconfirm' in onchange/onkeypress event, using verbal format like
Tue, Jan 03, 2008
That way, user actually see which date s/he have entered and you may use it
straightforward.

Not as I know. So, you should either force user to use specific format
(military -MM-DD HH:MM:SS for example) or leave user no chance to enter
wrong data.

That's not an argument in the matter of code readability, portability and
understandability.
"Better be safe than sorry" (c) folk
When you want to check if array key has meaningful value or not, disregarding
it's content and/or presence, use isset(). But that have never happened to me
in, like, 10 years. And knowing if key is present critical for foreach() cycle.
On the other side, for every my project bigger than single page I always use
purifying function to cleanup/normalize _GET/_POST/_REQUEST.
And for every project I always have list of used user variables and it's
expected types/values. If variable have been passed, required, but contains
unreliable value, I could change it to NULL (which is, as you mentioned,
cannot be set by user) to indicate that it was passed to script AND purged
in validation process. (Have never used it but having such ability is for good)

Well, filter_input does not exist in 5.1.6, and iset() does not work correctly

If you're using it to deal with possible empty input data, you'd better do it
explicitly enstead.
Something like this:
if(!array_key_exists('from_year', $_POST)
|| !array_key_exists('from_month', $_POST)
|| !array_key_exists('from_day', $_POST)
)
{
throw new Exception('No start date given', 100);

Well, it is much OT in PHP group, but see.
What you said database does not have latin1, that cant be true.
Try
SHOW CHARACTER SET;
that should list all available charsets.
Then set connection to receive your data in right encoding.
SET NAMES encoding;
Or, if you're using right version of PHP, simply use
mysql_set_charset('encoding');

He do not want to translate English text in his own language to understand it, in which area these automated translators pretty good. They're giving you some common meaning of the text, but nothing more. Instead, he want his own, already English text translated to some foreign languages. That can be done ONLY by native speakers, who know English AND the field, to which that specific text related. As example, I can point to the EVE-online and their attempt to hire foreign company to translate game interface to Russian... That said, it was complete failure. Two times. They simply wasted their money, because all they know about game is the text they were translated. -- Sincerely Yours, ANR Daemon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Good catch indeed. I was confused by the strange limit (not 1023-1024 as I
expect that), so I haven't checked if this setting affecting things.
And don't worry about my log :) I want it enabled for php-cli.ini only, for
development purposes.
On live suite, exceptions generally never breaking out to {main} scope.

(top posting fixed)
Ok, if you prefer backward solution - hook your own error-handler and cause an
error in class, then you'll have path to it's file in backtrace.
I mean, knowing the filename of this or that function absolutely meaningless,
unless you're running into problem of some sort.

If all what you need is to print path to file containing class, if you accessing your object as string, you could utilize magic of __toString(). -- Sincerely Yours, ANR Daemon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Length of Exception text?
Greetings, All. I've been working on some PEAR-based app last week and I ran into problem. While I debugging app, my backtrace always trimmed at some point. First time I though it was my mistake, and switched back to standard "Exception" class. But nothing changed. If I print everything by hands, it's all full and good, but if I let PHP print exception message, it getting trimmed at 1015 characters, rendering backtrace almost useless. Say, only my own code producing 4-5 lines, PEAR stuff adding about 8, plus converting PEAR_Error to Exception at least 2 lines. All-in-all, up to 15 lines so far, and backtrace trimmed at 6'th or 7'th line. Is there any way to affect this behaviour without recompiling PHP? -- Sincerely Yours, ANR Daemon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
