It's a method on DomElement:
http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.domelement-get-attribute.php

and you need to tell it which attribute to get... :)

I do not know why php.net is not publishing yet the link I posted in specific page, but if you want to resolve serialized recursion problem or you just want to better understand the problem and possible solutions, you may be interested in this post:

As I understand it, sqlite support is by default built into PHP. If so,
then it should be supported anywhere.

Don't use version 2. It's deprecated.

Thanks for your reply.

I was under the impression that sqlite2 was supported widely by PHP,
but sqlite3 seems only to be enabled on php 5.3.0 by default.

My concern now is actually that users may find that their hosting
service providers don't provide sqlite3 out of the box.

I normally would have dbupdate() do something like:

    $temp_set = pg_query($conn, $Sql);
    $numRows = pg_affected_rows($temp_set);
    return $numRows;

There should be something similar available in the other database APIs.

That's the job of the browser. It takes those entities and converts them
to displayable characters. You might want to look at the htmlentities()
and related functions to put it back into the encoded version.

It's attitudes like this that make the web such a wonderful place.
When I encounter a website the rejects my email address for being
'invalid" I simply NEVER GO THERE AGAIN. And your preg-replace would
reject every email address I ever input into any web form.

As a note, this will also fail on domains like http://✪df.ws/, but I
guess Daring Fireball is an 'edge case' funky whacky RFC extremity…

Haig:

The "best" tutorial I would think would be to review code that
someone already did. That way not only do you get a working example,
you can also learn and improve it on your own.

Check out:

http://www.php-calendar.com/

Here's an example of it working:

http://php1.net/my-php-calendar/

I've had good luck with it and have been able to change things as I wanted.

Cheers,

questions for those of you with a user session handler using mysql:

did you write your own handler, write one based off some other you found (if
so, which?), or are you using some available library (if so, which?)?

and how do you feel about your implementation? satisfied? or are there
improvements you'd like to have?

and what serializer do you use?

i have my own set of handler functions (less than 70 loc) which seem to work
in simple testing. but, while i'd really like to have the sessions in the db
for redundancy, i haven't had the courage to deploy it yet. i derived the
code from something i found on the web. i trust everything i read on the
internet ;-)

How can I rename a directory with files in it? The rename function
gives me a "directory not empty" error. I know I could do it be
creating the directory, moving the files, and then deleting the old
one. Is there an easier way?

Thanks!
Floyd
