One thing that might help you guys... now and in in the future are the
functions var_dump() and print_r(). You can wrap these with <pre></pre>
tags to make it all pretty and formatted for reading too.
If you're unsure of what exactly is happening with your data try this:
$colors = array('white'=>'#ffffff','black'=>'#000000','blue'=>'#0000ff');
print_r($colors);
... and you will see:
Array ( [white] => #ffffff [black] => #000000 [blue] => #0000ff )
So you would call $colors['black'] to access #000000.

Greetings All,
I am currently implementing a form for a client that will run over
https. Now, all is good and well except, for some reason when the form
loads in IE the lock in the status bar displays for a short while and
then goes away, it is fine in Firefox though. The way I have the form
coded is something like this:
<?php
// Handle POST method.
if ($_POST)
{
$name = $_POST['name'];
$street_address = $_POST['street_address'];
$to = 'address';
$subject = "subject";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n".
"Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n".
"From: ".$name."\r\n".
"Reply-to: ".$email."\r\n".
"Date: ".date("r")."\r\n";
// Compose message:
$message = "message";
// Send message
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
// Thank the generous user
echo "<h1>Thank You!</h1>";
}
else {
?>
<form name="donation_eng" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"
method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>Fill in your details</legend>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="form-container">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<label for="name">Name:
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" tabindex="1" size="35"
maxlength="150" />
</label>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
</form>
<?php
}
?>
The page in question is here: https://www.epda.cc/donation_eng.php
Is there any reason why coding the form like this will cause IE to think
that the form is not secure and not loaded over https? Thank you in
advance!

I bet your problem is this:
http://www.epda.cc/images/horz_master_120pixels.gif
One thing I do at work here when I'm having issues with SSL is to check any
links you have to stylesheets, javascript, etc for http:// in them. Then
after that use firefox's "View Page Info" and goto the tab "Media." Check
for any http:// images.
Hope that helps.

Have you tried this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhumb_line
I could do something like this using PostGIS and PHP, but a pure PHP
solution is probably going to be a tad slow with real geometries.
I would love to help out on this, can we collaborate on it (I will
provide a CVS server etc if necessary)...

Sorry about replying to my own post, but here is a postgis solution
supplied off the PostGIS list (thanks David):
Reproject the start and end point to a mercator (not a transverse
mercator) projection, connect the points, fill in the gap with
additional points (the segmentize() function would do this) and then
reproject to the original projection.
The following should work where a and b are the two points in your
original projection. To make a rhumb between with a distance of 100m:
select transform(segmentize(transform(makeline(a,b),9804)),100),4326)

I have a config file with a heredoc string declared. I'd like to keep the
include config.inc at the top of my page.
Down in the page, when I call the heredoc variable, I'd like to replace the "place holders" with a values assigned in
the page, below the include statement.
I know I can break up the heredoc into several segments and put the variables
between them; but, I rather not.
Seems like there should be an obvious way to do this.

Rob.
Yes, that is the simplest solution. Now that you've refreshed my memory, I've
done it that way in the past.
Thanks...

It depends. Typically no, but what you want can be done via a single

Could you elaborate as to how switching stylesheets can

Perhaps I didn't fully understand the question. A confirmation dialog
box, no -- but, a confirmation, yes.
If he wants a dialog box, then a simple js alert will do.

OK, no dialog box, but how could we get a confirmation from
the user for something by switching stylesheets? Do you mean
something like showing a hidden div with the "are you sure"
text?

Rabin:
The confirmation is in the click itself. Like selecting the language
you want. Click it once and you have confirmed that you what French,
for example. Understand?
It doesn't have to be a choice between just two options either -- you
can have several options.
In fact, it doesn't even have to be style sheets, you can run any php
script from a href=
But, if you want feedback before changing, then I believe you must
either use js or ajax.

It's not what you want to do (popup window), but I do it in the
following often.
I put the question right on the page - using a form. The form reloads
the page on submit and my script checks for the submit value at the top
of the page. If the form was submitted it either performs the action or
not - based on the submitted values.

Well I finally got PHP 4.4.2 installed. I ended up having to install a fresh
version of Apache2 and then compiling PHP into that version. Now I have the fun
task of configuring the new install of Apache2 with all the current sites on
that server so they can run PHP 4.4.2
Thanks for the help!

Direct memory access beats secondary helper memory every time. Autocomplete
is an incentive to have a lazy mind. When your brain has a larger overall
picture of available resources, it can formulate better strategies than when
it only has part of the picture. Additionally, when you are typing out a
flow of code, anything that interrupts that flow slows you down... ala
autocomplete.
-------------------
Let's agree to disagree. When you have the experience, autocomplete does
save you a lot of time.
I realized I was working a lot faster with autocomplete on. Meaning more
time to concentrate on improving the apps or looking for new clients.
Easy as that.

I'm not really sure where to post this but when I run phpunit, it is
throwing an error because "Class 'InvalidArgumentException' not
