Well, for the simple fact that most people do not, in fact, know what

Yes.
For some reason, IE, and now other browsers following suit, have
decided that Web Designers with their META tags are *much* more
reliable in their charset info than real HTTP headers from Web
Developers.
I do not claim to understand this rationale whatsoever, but there it is.
You still want the HTTP headers for older Firefox that actually
trusted them.
Without the META tag, IE actually uses a heuristic to "guess" at your
charset, rather than defaulting to Latin1.
I dunno what FF is thinking these days in regards to this...

Once you have it as UTF-8, the "rules" for what is a character or
isn't may be too different for PHP 5 to handle?
That doesn't make sense, does it?...
I mean, it's still just one-byte characters at UTF-8, so you'd think
it would "just work"...
UTF-16, yeah, you'd have big problems, as they are 2-byte sequences to
define a char.
I barely understand this Unicode stuff, though, so maybe I'm missing
something...

You could try it and see faster than posting...
It won't work, and if the syntax DID parse, it would probably be "type
hinting" rather than "type casting" which means it would possibly
throw an error/notice/warning/whatever if your data coming in was not
(int) type.
AFAIK, PHP does not support this for (int) in any current version, and
plans for the future are nebulous in this regard.

With or without the () I'd expect 'int' in an arglist to be
type-hinting, not type-casting, as that's how most other languages
work...
Not saying it couldn't be done, just that it would require a mental
adjustment.
And, of course, for now:
function foo ($x, $y){
$x = (int) $x;
$y = (int) $y;
}
Not that big a deal, it seems to me, to get the type coercion.
Type-hinting is far more complex to achieve in UserLand code...

Just have two INPUT TYPE="FILE" tags.
This is not rocket science...
If you want them zipped up somehow, you're gonna have to train users
to zip them before uploading.
At which point, you might as well give them FTP access somewhere, as
it's probably no more difficult. YMMV

One Possible Interpretation:
XML files start with:

Your file does not start with:

Your file is not XML.

The mime type sent by the browser is COMPLETELY unreliable and
unpredictable.
Evil people will send "image/png" for a nasty virus, for example.
Plus, IE will send some bogus made-up mime type whenever they feel
like it, while real browsers will attempt, and sometimes fail, to
guess the correct mime type to send for any given image.
You would be better off to use http://php.net/getimagesize on the file
to find out what is inside of it, at least for the first N bytes,
which is what the file is *claiming* to be.

If you're using php4.1 or above change that to:
$tipo = $_FILES['fotos']['type'][$a];

The multiple calls to ob_flush() within the body of the loop are
probably not a Good Idea, as a general rule...
flush() is also probably overkill, really, for any file big enough for
this function to be desirable in the first place...

Yes 1M is what I meant, although you can set it to whatever you want.

Php.net says "flush() has no effect on the buffering scheme of your
webserver or the browser on the client side. Thus you need to call both
ob_flush() and flush() to flush the output buffers. "

I think not.
I think you'd want to call ob_flush() in a loop at the top until
ob_get_level() returned 0, rather than rely on the number of
ob_handlers stacked up being smaller than the number of Megabytes to
be pumped out.
That's assuming you would want to override any and all ob_start() in
the first place, which seems a decidedly odd way to structure a web
application to me.
I would expect that your MP3 output URL would have already turned OFF
output buffering in any php.ini type setting, and wouldn't have
started any output buffering up in the first place, since you
almost-for-sure knew from the very beginning of this request that you
were outputting an MP3 file, which, by its very nature, you would not
want to bufffer.

flush() is largely irrelevant to the HTTP interaction.
TCP/IP, HTTP, Apache, etc all add buffers and network lag that render
flush() meaningless in this context.
Later versions of PHP, I think, pushed the boundary of flush() up
to/through the Apache layer of buffering.
But they have zero effect on TCP/IP stack, much less any sort of other
client-server buffering.

Almost-for-sure you will want a client-side interactive scripting
language such as:
ActionScript in Flash
JavaScript in most user's browsers
Java applet/servelet
These all come with their own pros and cons.
PHP would be involved only if you have an AJAX-y JavaScript client
pounding back on to the server to calculate what fits where -- Which
will probably perform like a total dog compared to something all
client-side.
So the only way this belongs in PHP is if you can convince all the
users to install that nifty "PHPScript" thingie I saw in PECL or PEAR
the other week... Kinda like JavaScript, only PHP, for the browser.
I keep meaning to play with that...
PS This is really 2-D modeling, right?... Or are you actually going to
let them "stack" items in a 3-D world?

PHP is a server-side language and thus is not really suited for a
user drag and drop application. It doesn't have a good user
"real-time" interface unless you add js or flash.
As such, I think you'll have to look at javascript or flash. For example:
http://xn--ovg.com/dragdrop
and

If I'm reading that page correctly, it would make PHPScript be just

<snip>
It's not a big deal from the Flash side, you use either sendAndLoad() or if
your data is more complex and structured, then XML() to call a PHP script.
A lot of Flash examples use files loaded from the file system.
I did not use amfPHP because when I needed to do this the first time work
on that library seemed to have halted. I think it's really provided so that
Flash designers / developers have an alternative to Flash Remoting which
can simply be "used".
Make certain your PHP script generates properly formed XML. As this was
text, with unpredictable content, I had to use CDATA[], otherwise parsing
the XML on the Flash side was very unpredictable. There are a couple
of libraries to parse XML on the Flash side which eases that part of the work.
Here's an example, using Actionscript to call a PHP script in Flash to
retrieve the news stories for a given day from the database. getNodes() and
displayContent() are custom functions, so don't look in the manual. Host is
set in an .as file.
This is Actionscript 2 (AS2); Flash is now up to Actionscript 3 I believe.
Caution: The format of some functions changed between AS1 and AS2 and the
Flash compiler DOES NOT TRAP THE DIFFERENCE. A good example is
sendAndLoad() which used to be SendAndLoad(). No complaint about an unknown
function, but suddenly the movie just-did-not-work. I've not worked with
AS3 so don't know about any of its quirks.
As for the formatting, the way the tabs blew out reinforces argument
someone made for spaces earlier today. I don't do that, I set a tab to be
equivalent to 3 spaces in all my editors. As for the style of braces, these
days I tend to put the left brace immediately following the function name.
Hope this will be helpful.

Seems to me that if you have to define different CSS for different
browsers, and/or hack it up with weird bogus CSS declarations, then
you've kind of defeated the whole purpose of CSS in the first place...

I suspect if you worked hard enough at it you could get a regex to do
what you want...
But it might be a heck of a lot easier to just build a database like
this:
<?php
$path = "/usr/share/web2"; //Webster's 2nd ed. dictionary, public
domain, on some distros...
$file = fopen($path, 'r') or die("You may need to cp $path to your
own dir, as it is not readable here...");
while (!feof($file)){
$word = fgets($file, 1000000);
$code = wordcode($word);
//store $code | $word in some convenient way...
//perhaps a database
//perhaps each $code could be a file with all the $word[s] in it
//etc
}
function wordcode($word){
$code = array();
$result = '';
$len = strlen($word);
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++){
$c = $word[$i]; //or use substr if you hate string as array syntax
if (!isset($code[$c])){
$code[$c] = count($code) + 1;
}
$d = $code[$c];
$result .= $d;
}
}
?>
NOTE:
For any word with more then 9 unique characters, you are going to have
SERIOUS problems...
Consider this:
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
123456789105711989...
How can you tell that '11' for the 'g' isn't supposed to be '1'

You may need to represent your digits in, say, hex form, or even in
base 26 form, which gives you the full alphabet as unique digits.

I agree that, of the many ways to encode this, using single ASCII
digits would be one of the poorest.
One rather obvious cypher would be the alphabet itself -- a set of
one-character symbols of precisely the same number as the characters
you want to encode:
php
ABA
that
ABCA
whew
ABCA
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Believe it or not I had to do something like this a while back. Here is
a function. I have tweaked it to fit your needs a bit, but the example
works. It seems to sort of follow what Lynch's psuedocode loosely.
<?php
/*
*function convertToPattern converts a string into a pattern based on
letter
*frequency and position
*
* ex: "that" would convert to abca
* "pretty" would convert to abcdde
*/
function convertToPattern($strCandidate){
//Set up the array that holds mapping of character to pattern character
$arrHolder = array(
"a"=>'',
"b"=>'',
"c"=>'',
"d"=>'',
"e"=>'',
"f"=>'',
"g"=>'',
"h"=>'',
"i"=>'',
"j"=>'',
"k"=>'',
"l"=>'',
"m"=>'',
"n"=>'',
"o"=>'',
"p"=>'',
"q"=>'',
"r"=>'',
"s"=>'',
"t"=>'',
"u"=>'',
"v"=>'',
"w"=>'',
"x"=>'',
"y"=>'',
"z"=>''
);
//Now create an array with all of the letters of the alphabet in
//it for reference
$arrAlpha = array();
$idxAlphCreate = 0;
foreach($arrHolder as $key => $data){
$arrAlpha[$idxAlphCreate] = $key;
$idxAlphCreate++;
}
//split the string into an array so we can walk it
$arrCandidate = str_split($strCandidate);
$cntCandidate = count($arrCandidate);
$idxCandidate = 0;
$idxHolder = 0;
//walk through the array made from the string
while($idxCandidate < $cntCandidate){
//get the current char
$charCandidate = $arrCandidate[$idxCandidate];
//if the char is already in the array it has been mapped
//if not, map it to the next available letter
if(!(in_array($charCandidate, $arrHolder))){
$arrHolder[$arrAlpha[$idxHolder]] =
$charCandidate;
$idxHolder++;
}
$idxCandidate++;
}
//initialize our converted string
$strConverted = "";
//loop through the array one more time to create our converted
string
foreach($arrCandidate as $char){
$arrKeyCheck=array_keys($arrHolder, $char);
$strConverted.=$arrKeyCheck[0];
}
return $strConverted;
}
//Example
$strA = "that";
$strB = "croc";
$patternA = convertToPattern($strA);
$patternB = convertToPattern($strB);
if($patternA == $patternB){
echo "Bingo!";
}else{
echo "Not so much...";
}

Similar projects abound.
I generally find that by the time I'm done figuring out how it works,
and what it requires to type to get sort of what I want, but not
really, I'm better off just typing the dang HTML in the first place to
get exactly what I want, with less keystrokes than the OOP version.
YMMV

That is not correct.
When MySQL starts, it will create this file IF IT CAN.
If you have some user other than 'root' starting up mysql, and if that
user cannot create files in /var/mysql, then your "solution" would
kinda sorta "work" by root forcing a file to exist that MySQL had
tried, and failed, to create...

Using 'touch' to create the file is almost-for-sure a Bad Idea.
Using chmod to be sure that both the user running the mysql process
the user running the web process can both read/write that file is
probably a correct solution for cases where the file creation was not
done correctly. Though I'm not sure 777 is the Best Answer... You'd
have to research that for yourself.
Of course, none of this applies at all to the situation of the OP, nor
of Apple's documented issue of having the mysql.sock file in the wrong
place.

Not to be a jerk, but we still have to live with it.
For example, suppose, just for the sake of argument, that there was a
Security hole on your site that allowed your homepage to be replaced
by a malicious person.
That would imply that the malicious person could, had they so desired,
cause a great deal more damage not only to your site, but also to
everybody else's sites, simply by using your site as a new launch pad
for attacks.
:-) :-) :-) :-)
As you can see, to some degree, we are all reliant on each other, and
on the entire planet's goodwill and responsible coding.
This is a rather sobering idea, not just for you (and me) but for
anybody who gives this more than a few minutes of thought.
PS
I hope I put enough smilies in to make it clear I am not chastising
nor attacking you -- I merely want to point out that we are all
sharing the Internet, and all must be responsible for its upkeep, to
the best of our own abilities.
I know that's why we're all here on this list, and that everybody is
doing the best they can. I'm just saying that this is WHY it's
important to push ourselves for that "better"
understanding/solution/code.

Alright already -- you're simply not going to allow me to get away

If you ever do see my code, you'll see it's very strict to following
my coding style (very similar style regardless of what language),
it's commented well, and I do have a good handle on security. It
seems that every time I ask a security question, I find that I'm
currently practicing the answers to avoid the pit-falls.
I know that clean code works better. With 30 years of pounding code,
this not my first time at the rodeo.

As I recall, the upload_max_filesize was an "oddball" in that you
could never INCREASE it at any stage, but could only DECREASE it in
the following order:
php.ini
httpd.conf
.htaccess
That funky INPUT in the FORM that browsers ignore, but PHP uses.
So if your shared webhost set the limit to 2M in php.ini or
httpd.conf, and you only have .htaccess, you cannot crank up your
limit and over-ride your webhost quota/limit/cap.
At least, that was how it seemed to behave when I tested it rather
extensively back in PHP3.x days...
Hmmm, as I look at my list, I wonder if httpd.conf wouldn't kick in
before php.ini... Or maybe they "tie" and one can override the other
in httpd.conf at various nesting levels such as Directory and
VirtualHost. You're on your own for that level of detail in this
matter.

Correction:
...unless the others on the shared server are BELIEVED BY HOTMAIL TO
BE spammers.
Which, unfortunately, means that hotmail's stupid broken process for
identifying spammers blocks TONS of valid email.
I have given up on hotmail (and AOL, and Yahoo, and...) in this
regard. Anybody dumb enough to use such email vendor, deserves the
bad service they get, and can't use my site, if their activation email
doesn't get through. I'm tossing the problem right back on THEIR
vendor's desk where it belongs.

No.
Because of the spammers, some MX will lie, both ways, about whether
the email address is valid or not.

No sense blocking them, as some users might actually get them to work.
You should focus on making your registration email LOOK less like spam.
No html-enhanced (cough, cough) email.
No "trigger" words that make it look like spam.
Valid subject.
Real name in the "From:"
etc.

That depends on what exactly you did. If you did a bunch of CSS I'd
hardly say that the site is "powered" by your work it may be more likely
that "designed by" works. Also if you are just maintaining someone
else's work then you might say "maintained by" or "managed by". If on
the other hand you wrote the Web server or the PHP lib that presents it
to the visitor then you might write "powered by". Moving along, if you
just glued together a bunch of API's not written by yourself, and you
didn't write the webserver either, you might just want to say "glued
together by". Finally, if you glued it together and your code sucks,
best just to go with "lesson learned by" -- unless of course you're an
idiot and you didn't learn anything by making a crappy site :B
Personally, if the customer pays me money to make a site, I don't put
dirty little ego fluffers on their pages... I put them in the HTML
comments or meta tags *heheh*.
