Well, technically any language can be used server side, it is all on how you set up your server, no? I would tend to think that the biggest out there, is html/php/javascript... and next to that, would be asp, and then java. Do I have proof of this? No, can I get proof, I doubt it, and are there stats on this? To be honest, in my opinion, that would be like asking "how big is the internet?". It is virtually an immeasurable object. There are so many websites out there, that you can't search them all... PHP is simple, and yet powerful to use, and is pretty much the standard for all hosting companies. Now, there is this link... http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html It shows Java as #1, and php as #5, but this is also for PROGRAMMING, does not specify web based programming vs desktop vs MAD (thanks tedd ;) ) so the numbers do not really speak out in this application. Does it really matter? PHP is very huge, widely used, and I would even go so far as to say the 'norm' for website developers, and hosting providers. But that is my $0.02, and for me, I have been with PHP for 7 years professionally, and in college I took VB.net, ASP.net, C++, JAVA and PHP. Only recently have I gotten into C# for desktop applications. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Is the same as
$var = time();
Unless of course, I didn't understand what you're referring too :P
But strtotime() is a very useful function, unless of course you want the OO

I found this function a while back when I was converting UTC to EST... simple
task I know, but still...
( I am sorry to whomever wrote this, I didn't keep the source where I found it )
function convert_time_zone($date_time, $from_tz = 'UTC', $to_tz =
'America/Toronto')
{
$time_object = new DateTime($date_time, new DateTimeZone($from_tz));
$time_object->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone($to_tz));
return $time_object->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
}
Maybe this can help you?

David,
Just putting this out there, but the use of a foreach() loop here, is
redundant...
You are putting your query results into an array, and then looping through
them after with the foreach(), instead of just using the while loop to loop
through them initially... so you're doing the same thing, twice, just using
the foreach() after the while.
One thing I was always told when I was learning c++ (my teacher was anal,
and always forced us to try and be more efficient), using >= uses more cpu
cycles, than > or <, so when you're checking 0 <= 0.1 true, false, you could
exchange your check to be 0 > 0.1 false, else true...
Also, setting the variable $product and $price, with the value from the
database $row['product'], would be less cycles than to just echo the
$row['product']...
That is just some $0.02... I wouldn't personally create more code, just to
"try" something out... use the right function for the job, write less code
than needed (sometimes, a little more code for readability is better
though), and most importantly... have fun.
One thing I do, is my coding and bracing style is something that Tedd
Sperling doesn't like (there have been many discussions about bracing
styles), I keep my braces all in line, and always use them in my if()s...
ie:
If($yourmom == $hot)
{
Echo "MILF!";
}
Else
{
Echo "Pass.";
}
And I do this for readability, so I can see if I forgot a brace somewhere,
and also, I always know that there are braces (with a 4space indentation, or
tab stops set at 4 space)
1 more point, doing multiline comments, use /* insert comment here */ and
not just //, and with that, I use inline comments with #, but that is just
me.
Overall though, I am glad to see you're learning, and having fun doing so...
Steve Staples.

How about this:

Tedd,
I think the length of code depends on a few different factors, what if you
have your docblocks, and comment lines, as well as your bracing style?
Where do you consider your function to start?
Personally, I use this bracing style:
# decide if we should work, or sleep
if($do == $something)
{
# do something here
$work = 'done';
}
else
{
# something isn't being done now
$work = 'sleep';
}
In this (really crude) example, there are 11 lines of code. Granted, the
way you do your bracing you can lose a few lines, and within this example,
it could be written as:
# decide if we should work, or sleep
# default action for if something isn't being done
$work = 'sleep';
if($do == $something) {
# do something here
$work = 'done';
}
So, with that craptastic example, we've taken 11 lines, and compressed it to
7.
Anyways, I get the "rule of thumb" to be able to fit a function on a
"screen", or to make it as small as possible, but sometimes comments can get
in the way, and if you like your bracing style, you end up with a lot of
extra lines of code too (also if you like to have blank lines between
actions).
Anyways, my IDE that I use, shows 47 lines on the screen, at 145 characters
across, using Courier New 9pt, and I try to keep it to 80 characters wide,
but that doesn't always happen :P

Ok, shot in the dark here are you closing your connection to the
sqlite db? From what I see, you're not... when I was writing an app in
Python, I remember having this issue, and because I didn't close the
connection, it didn't commit the writes to the database... just a
thought...

Ok, so I was wrong... ;) it does happen
Try this:
$sql = "INSERT INTO bloggen (date, autor, title, teaser, content)
VALUES ('" . date('Y-m-d H:i:s') . "', :autor, :title,
:teaser, :content);";
Or
$sql = "INSERT INTO bloggen (date, autor, title, teaser, content)
VALUES (NOW(), :autor, :title, :teaser, :content);";
The first example, you don't need the time(), and you had the date format
wrong...
The second example, uses the NOW() time, which is the timestamp for sql
Maybe this time I will get it right ;) -- its been a long day, and it is
only 1/2 done

I think all you had to do was change this line: (line 27 in the original
paste)
$sql = 'INSERT INTO bloggen (date, autor, title, teaser, content)
VALUES ('' . date( 'Y-m-s H:i:s', time() ) . '', :autor, :title,
:teaser, :content);';
To this:
$sql = "INSERT INTO bloggen (date, autor, title, teaser, content)
VALUES ('' . date( 'Y-m-s H:i:s', time() ) . '', :autor, :title,
:teaser, :content);";
The issue was (without looking any deeper) the quotes...
Try that, and let us know.

As a suggestion, is PHP in the windows path? If not, then this may be the issue... Python may have been installed, and put the exe in the PATH variable, where PHP may not have done it (not sure, I personally use XAMPP on my windows box for quick development) Check the PATH from the dos prompt, and if it is not in there, then you will have to add it (I am just guessing here) Just in case you're not sure where it is, on my XP machine, I just right click on "My Computer", click "Properties" and then on the "Advanced" tab, there is a button labelled "Environment Variables" and then add the path to the PHP exe...

It almost makes me think the site is down. If you had a "loading content" or something (even though that bugs a lot of people), then it would at least make me think that there is nothing wrong with your site... (or maybe speed up your code somehow). Also, the menu dropdowns, I find awkward. Visually, they don't look pleasing to me. There is too much space between them, and the way they overlap when you have more than 1 level in them, (personally) bugs me. I also loaded this on my cell phone, LG Optimus One, running Android 2.3, and it loaded up ok (same slowness), but the menus are VERY slow, and VERY hard to use unless I zoom right in. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Printing
If I am not mistaken, that is only for printing ON the SERVER... not on the client. If you're printing, then you're trying to print to a locally connected printer on your server. PHP runs server side, and therefore doesn't know anything about your locally attached printers. I did notice that you started a new thread about printing from PDF's, and if you're trying to create a document to print on your client machine, then creating a PDF is much easier. http://fpdf.org Steven Staples > -Original Message- > From: Jim Giner [mailto:jim.gi...@albanyhandball.com] > Sent: January 5, 2012 10:55 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] Printing > > > > > I can't tell you much on this, because I don't use windows.

And here I thought that "The Big Bang Theory" was a funny sitcom? Damn... where have I been all this time? Maybe since I wasn't around to witness it happening, it didn't really happen, and this is just my own reality, that you guys happen to be a part of, in my subconscious?

Perfect example of Tedd's last comment about being proven wrong (even though
TECHNICALLY it isn't)
Good job :)

RE: [PHP] Web application architecture (subdomain vs. sub directory)
I started out not using a framework... then I started at a company who used a "zend" like framework, worked there for a bit, then moved on, and started using cake... I found that they were great for what they are... but really simplified things too much, so I created my own framework, incorporating the classes that I use all the time (smarty/fpdf/jquery/tinymce), and with that, I learned a LOT about how things really worked. I would suggest looking at the core of the frameworks to see how things are put together, and how they really work... but maybe make one that is more custom to your application? As for subdomain vs subdirectory, if your using SSL, then you would need a wildcard SSL which is usually more money. Eitherway you choose, you will have to program around it. The app that I created uses subdomains, because we were using CA SSL Certs, and the clients preferred to have their own IP's... long story, not my call, I just program it :P Steven Staples > -Original Message- > From: Peter Lind [mailto:peter.e.l...@gmail.com] > Sent: August 25, 2010 3:01 PM > To: a...@ashleysheridan.co.uk > Cc: Tim Martens; php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] Web application architecture (subdomain vs. sub > directory) > > On 25 August 2010 20:54, Ashley Sheridan wrote: > > On Wed, 2010-08-25 at 13:45 -0500, Tim Martens wrote: > > > > If you're new to PHP, I would recommend not using a framework for the > > experience you will gain with the language, as a framework will tend to > > hide away certain caveats and peculiarities of PHP which could lead to > > issues further down the line.

[PHP] Unstoppable Script Execution
Ok, this is my first post here. I have been writing in PHP for about 7 years or so now, I am not an expert, but I do pretend to be one :P ANYWAY, my client and I have been working on a strange issue that I cannot seem to pin point, or replicate, not to mention, it has no rhyme or reason for it to happen except if maybe the user submits a form, and their internet connection "hiccups" or the script terminates. Some times, the submitted form can have probably more information than it should, and the script is doing more than it should, so the execution time may take upwards of a few seconds to a minute or so. My question is, is the function/setting: Ignore_user_abort(true); Going to possibly fix my issue? Could I combine that with: Ignore_user_abort(true); Set_time_limit(900); # 15 minutes, JUST INCASE of a problem! So that if after 15 minutes, if the script has gone CRAZY, it will at least not run forever? Any help? Ideas? Is this a good idea?
