[snip]
I'm wondering if it is possible to have some kind of script running all
the
time. I have a site that collects data that users enter and emails
certain
people and does other various tasks with the data. Some of the
information
collected contains dates and times that could be up to three months from
now. What I am trying to do is have something fire off an email to
someone
when that future date/time comes around so a follow-up can be done.
Anyone know of anything I can look into for this.
[/snip]
You could use CRON to periodically run scripts.
attached mail follows:
It's possible to have a script running constantly, but Jay's right.
CRON or some other task scheduler would probably be better. If you had
something running constantly and there was some problem with your
compile of PHP or something else that's getting used, there can be
memory leaks or other issues that could cause complications. Running
something periodically rather than constantly is probably better in most
cases.

It's not what I was looking for. Looks like I didn't explain very well :)
look at this case:
$query = mysql_query("select name from names order by date desc");
while($result = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
$all_names[] = $result['name'];
}
in this case the array $all_names starts with index 0.
I can't put
$all_names[1] = $result['name'];
because every next entry will get index 1 and overwrite old one and on
the end I'll have an array of just one element :)

In that case, you could do this:
$x = 1;
$query = mysql_query("select name from names order by date desc");
while($result = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
$all_names[$x] = $result['name'];
$x++;
}

Why do you want your array to start with 1 so badly?

Because elements of the new array are actually numbers that depend on index.
working on survey and values of offered answers are actually numbers
Question
- <input type=radio value=1> offered answer no 1
- <input type=radio value=2> offered answer no 2
- <input type=radio value=3> offered answer no 3
- <input type=radio value=4> offered answer no 4
Qs ans As are pulled from database and I chosen values start with 1 to
be less confused (value=0 for answer=1, values=1 for answer=2, ...)
And result, which is an array because I set up names of radio buttons
that way, (after submitting) I stored in database using serialize
functions.
I have to show some statistics and answers, stored in DB, after
unserialize() start with 0.
And then was conflict when I pull Qs and As from DB, they start with 1s
and Results, that start with 0
Hm, pretty complicated, ha?
:)
Now, I have a feeling I didn't go correct way. Because, calculating
stats from serialize stored results are pain in the neck :)

You should just make everything else start with a standard 0, if it's
something you output to the users, just do a +1 on it.

Ave,
Iım working on creating a site search for our companyıs website, and am
looking for some tips. Creating the search code and the results doesnıt seem
to be a big challenge... Indexing is something I have no clue to. I donıt
know how to create the Index and how the keywords, summary and link is
generated automatically and goes into the database. I know there are paid
software out there which do the same, but Iım inclined to believe there has
to be a way for PHP to read keywords off the pages in a folder and index
them. Or I may be wrong.
Any guidance appreciated.

You can use htdig for indexing the site:
http://www.htdig.org/
Then build a PHP wrapper around the results for display:

No, it isn't, or at least it shouldn't. $TestObj and $TestObj->myself
are *both* instances of TestClass.

This looks really interesting. Thanks a lot.

Hi All,
I'm working on a page where I'm attempting to display article titles in a
relatively narrow area. To save from ugly wrap-arounds in the links, I've
decided to truncate the article title string at 20 chars. This works well
except where the truncate occasionally falls in the middle of a HTML entity
reference (eg or © etc).
I'm wondering if anyone else on the list has worked out a way of
intelligently truncating a string to take these kinds of occurrences into
account? I don't mind, in these situations if the truncation takes place
before or after the entity, since when displayed it will only equate to one
character more or less.
Anyone else jumped off this bridge before?
Much warmth,
Murray

You can use wordwrap() to do intelligent line breaks, then you can
truncate the new string based on a line break.
You can also explode() the string into an array then rebuild a new
string with only so many elements of the array.

after you do your usual truncation just add the following:
$truncated = ereg_replace( '&[[:alpha:]]*$', '', $truncated );
You may need to replace alpha with alnum since I can't remember if there
are any entities with digits :)

May I point out this is a lost battle from the start? If someone really
wants to enter "bad words" they will, by masking them in various ways;
humans will interpret the bad words correctly in far more cases than you
can filter with software. Additionally, you will end up filtering parts of
legit words that look like bad words.

True, but only sites that pass the above test get
added to the database on an "unconfirmed" state, then
I personally look at the site and "confirm" it....the
aboev is just something of a "pre-screen"
I got it working though so this is an old problem :-)

If you want to redisplay the input, then it would be used.

You don't need stripslashes when pulling data unless you have
magic_quotes_runtime enabled. If you find that you need to call
stripslashes on your data, then you're escaping it twice before you
insert it.

www.itmoonlighter.com is one that I use to use. It has both companies
looking to find developers for their projects, and developers looking

no one has mentioned any kind of site specifically geared towards people who

garage/basement type of process were you get a few guys together with a few
sales guys, and they build/start to sale the app, and create a biz...
so my question i guess, is why the hell isn't there more of an interest in
this kind of atmosphere..
have people just been too dam* burned too many times, or are people really

Manuel, knowing the user's TZ via JS doesn't help me know the TZ of the
event (which may be in a different zone to the user) unfortunately...
and I'd rather not trust a client side variable like that regardless.

Hi,
Quite some time back I modified a regex (to the one
below) to work with my script:
if (preg_match_all('/<a\s+.*?href=[\"\']?([^\"\'

{
foreach($matches as $match){$links[] = $match;}
}
Problem is, I dont really know REGEXs properly and
dont remember how I modified it and it completly
ignores the below:
<area shape="rect" coords="95,8,242,145"
href="2/FIVE.MPG">
because its a map and I guess it does not start with
<a and does not end with </a>
but I need to make sure it catches even the above...
Can someone help me add to the above regex please?
Thanks,

The ? you are seeing is because the charset doesn't know what to do
with the ascii value that is contained there.
You have a couple of options to let the browser know exactly what
you mean by that character:
If before any output you specify:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1');
will let the browser know you want a charset that defines
what that ascii value means
Or
Because there is no entity defined the htmlentities() for 'tm' you
have to convert it yourself using the numeric entity for it:
echo str_replace("\x99", "™", $a);
Then, your 'tm' will get displayed insted of '?'.
