[PHP] Debian Lenny: Which 5.3 package should I use?

2009-12-15 Thread Wouter van Vliet / Interpotential
Hi Guys & Gals, I've been playing around with PHP 5.3 for a while now on development servers and servers solely used for start-ups and lower-profile apps. But now I'm about to upgrade the servers for a high profile/high traffic website and with this upgrade I'd also like to make the switch from 5.

I've had quite some luck using the html2text class by Jon Abernathy http://www.chuggnutt.com/html2text.php It's targetted to php 4, and rather old code - but it does the job for me. Where the 'job for me' is converting html to text for when I'm sending out emails in HTML format and want to off

Allen, Before you go with my static-approach, please do consider Shawn's registry pattern suggestion. That's pretty sweet too ;-). A little response to your long text, before I help you fix the bug. A static property is basically the same as a regular property on an object. Only difference is tha

is_integer probably wouldn't work, since you're dealing with strings here. Your best friend here would probably be 'is_numeric' which would return true on both the string '1' as the integer 1 true. As well as 1.1 and '1.1'. The only one solution I could think if would be: preg_match('/^\d+$/',

You best option would be to go through all of your include'd or require'd files and make sure there is no whitespace before and after you open your php tags. Those are often the cause for such problems. The easy way would indeed be to use output buffering. In that case, put the call to ob_start();

You may want to look into shell_exec, which executes a command and returns the output. If you're accepting arguments from user input, don't forget proper use of escapeshellcmd and escapeshellarg ;-). Something else that might cause your commands from failing, is that the utilities are not inside a

What you're proposing, is to actually display some content on another page then were the content is originally intended? I'm sorry, but I would consider that 'bad practice'. To me, it makes perfect sense that you don't want to leave the user on the page where login was originally handled. For vario

I hate to disappoint you, but there's no real alternative. Same annoyance with get_class() and __CLASS__ always giving you the "class in which the call is defined" instead of the class which is actually being called when dealing with static methods. What you could do is define a protected static m

I've got a followup question to this. Whenever you're doing something that takes too much memory, having a file uploaded that's bigger than max upload size (actually, not sure if that applies but I think it does) or when your script is taking too long to execute it just dies with a very unfriendly
