I just tried to use the output of the export function on phpmyadmin and
got a million errors. After looking at the file I found that certain
columns that are strings were not quoted at all. I can't find any
reason why some are and some are not quoted. Anyone have any idea why
this is happening?

Smarty sucks. Mixing presentation and logic is never good idea. I know
Smarty is very popular, but big popularity doesn't always mean quality.
Back to original question: If you decided to reinvent the wheel, please
don't reinvent square wheel without tire.
Mixing presentation and logic is bad. You should have no sqls, loops,
ifs or any other logic things in templates. Templates should be editable
by any stupid guy, anyone who knows just css/html. No sql, no php, no
other language.
Back to original idea to parse table. Do not copy bad ideas from other
templating engines. Again - reinvent a better wheel or use some from
1000s of existing libraries. Download some existing libraries, think
about good and bad things, make it better, make it different! Otherwise
we will end with 1000+1 stupid, same, useless templating libraries.

You don't need to mix presentation and logic with Smarty. If you create
your custom tags with Smarty and use these instead of having the inline
"Smarty PHP" code, you'll have separated them just fine. Then if the end
user wants to use PHP inline, fine, either let them, or don't. Either
way, Smarty is about the fastest and most versatile engine in the PEAR
library, as far as I know. I'd rather use that, than build something
custom from scratch. And, in combination with Tidy and Cache_Lite,
you'll get a very fast and precise rendering engine...
Just my $0.02.

While I'm not a particularly great fan of Smarty myself (preferring pull
versus push systems), I don't think that support for conditionals and
loops within a templating system is a bad thing provided that such loops
and conditionals are restricted to use for presentation logic only.
To create a template system that only resembles HTML/CSS I think would
put an extraneous burden on the developer since they are the one that
would have to define/manage the unrolling of iterative data in such a
way as to make it invisible to the template designer.
Additionally, there's no way it could be entirely like CSS/HTML since at
some point you need to place markers for the content to be expanded, and
no matter how you slice the problem, those markers aren't going to be
HTML. They might be HTMLish (a la XML) but they won't be HTML.
Cheers,
Rob.

See my html below. Basically, if type=checkbox is checked, I'm trying to
build $to string in mail().
parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING
or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING line 4
How do I rebuild this peice of code to be register_globals=off friendly?
Just when I thought I was getting good. This keeps up, I'm changing back
the php.ini myself.

stop using eval()! (you know the film SAW? well it's people
who use too much eval() that end up chained to the raditator)
also find out what the difference is betwewen using single
and double quotes.
also learn how/why to use isset(), and initializing your variables
before using them...
now look at this, I'm pretty sure ti will do what you want:
<?
$to = '';
for ($i = 1; $i <= $_POST["NMax"]; $i++) {
$CheckVariable = isset($_POST["Check$i"]) ? $_POST["Check$i"]: false;
$nameVariable = isset($_POST["name$i"]) ? $_POST["name$i"] : '';
$emailVariable = isset($_POST["email$i"]) ? $_POST["email$i"]: '';
if ($CheckVariable) {
$to .= "\"$nameVariable\" <".$emailVariable.">,";
}
}
echo $to;

I am backing up a file (the path & filename of which are stored in $original;
the path & filename of the copy are stored in $bkup). I would also like to
copy the file modification time of $original, so, after copying the file
itself, I use:
touch($bkup, filemtime($original));
However, after I use the above "touch" function, filemtime($original) and
filemtime($bkup) are often slightly different. For example, I might have:
echo filemtime($original); // gives 1126191599
echo filemtime($bkup); // gives 1126191600
Why the small difference?
(I'd like these two file modification times to be exactly the same because I
want to compare file modification times when I do incremental backups, and
copy a file only if the file modification times are different.)
By the way, if it helps, I am using Windows XP.
Thanks!

Can we use some function with GD to make text italic, bold and/or underline?
http://php.net/imagettftext
I see we can change size and font, but not style
it's not possible in PHP?
Thanks in advance
David
