Did you copy/paste the code? If so maybe the quotation marks are the
fancy "smart quotes" like MS Office likes to use. Try replacing your
quotes with regular old quotation marks.

Hey guys,
     Isn't this thread a bit OT?
     Anyway, as areligious person I have to say that I really do not
like to hear religions trashed and smeared the way you are doing. And
just for the record, we Quakers do not believe God tells us to kill
people and we have no priests.

you know, for me now it looks like the case of the Muhammad cartoons.
nobody meant any offense but it seems its offending for someone...
however I don't know why.
anyway, lets drop this thread.

Untrue. Design patterns are not OOP-specific, although they are frequently
discussed in OOP terms.

Design patterns are just that: A formalization of various common patterns that
come up over and over in programming. Ever get the feeling "wow, I know I've
written something kinda like this at least three times now?" That means it's
probably a design pattern of some kind.

Studying design patterns helps you recognize a give problem as being similar
to another, so the solution is probably similar. It also can alert you to
common pitfalls and common ways around them.

He thinks that php is asp plus lead, so he figured that we could get the plant extracts with the added lead and be set!

I've got 2 tables. One table which contains a series of barcodes assigned to product id #'s, and another table with JUST product id #'s.

I need to somehow transfer all the barcodes from the first table into the second table, but only where the id #'s match.

Can anyone tell me if this is something that can be done with just a SQL statement, or do I need to write a PHP script to loop through the records of both tables and do the copying/mapping?

insert into table (field1, field2) select field1, field2 from t1 inner
join t2 using (field_id);

or something like that.

To use url's like http://domain.com/login/ as opposed to
http://domain.com/login.php you can take multiple approaches.

The first and simplest is to simply save your login.php as /login/index.php
to use this approach you need to ensure that index.php is listed as a
default page.

In IIS you can set the "default" page(s) to be whatever you like:
-> Open IIS Manager
-> Server -> Websites -> Right Click [properties]
-> select "Documents" tab
-> ensure "Enable default content page" is ticked
-> ensure "index.php" is listed
-> if not then click [add] and enter index.php
-> continue to add any other default pages [index.html, index.shtml etc]

The second common solution [and I'd advise to get used to it asap] is to
use URL rewriting.

In short url rewriting involves defining "rules" which the web server
uses to direct http requests to resources on the server.
eg: direct domain.com/all_our_news to /index.php?newsitem=all

a quick intro guide can be found here:
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/guide-url-rewriting

For URL rewriting in IIS use "ISAPI Rewrite" - http://www.isapirewrite.com/

in apache use mod_rewrite
[apache1.3>] httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html
[apache2.0>] httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html

Both are pretty much identical when it comes to the end rewrite rules.

Hope that helps a little

Nathan

Hi,

How can you perform a timed event in PHP; for example:

Count 24 hours and then delete all rows in a database...

Thank you!

I thought that this question was answered in some detail before...

Anyway, on *NIX based systems use cron.daily or on 'doze, use AT or
command scheduler I think it's called.

Either that or use a long running PHP process with ignore_user_abort()
and a time of 86400 seconds :)
