Heyha, the mail's subject gone obsolete. preg_replace isn't
necessary at all.
Better use: $new = str_replace(array ("|"," "), "_", $old);

You can even go so far so to do both at once:
$text = str_replace(array('|', ' '), array('_', '_'), $text);
This does ignore the initial requirement of only replacing the ones
between quotes, however...
Something like this will honor the quotes restriction:
$text = preg_replace_all('/(".*)[| ](.*")/", '\\1_\\2', $text);
I probably got the PCRE wrong, but it's close.
Download The Regex Coach and play with it. :-)

JP Graph is always mentioned in this list.
I generally just do GD directly, to get things laid out the way I
want, instead of sort of kind of not really the way I want.
YMMV

hi...
i'm creating a quick/dirty app for scheduling a function, based on the user
entering a start time/date, as well as a potential periodic timeframe.
ie:
the user enters-
start time/date: 10:00am 01/10/07
periodic monthly
the idea is to be able to have a process start running on the start
time/date, and then to repeat on a monthly basis on the same time/date. i
can easily accomplish this for dates that are '1-28', but i'm looking for
suggestions as to how to handle situations where the number of the start
date, might be greater than the end date of the 'current" month.
in searching google, i haven't come up with many apps that handle this...
thoughts/comments/etc...
thanks.

hmmm, a month period has 4*7 days e.g. then i can schedule on 31.3.07 a
month period which will repeat itself on 30.4.07 and again on 30.5.07 even
though may has 31 days. i dont see no other logic if you take a week period
it same a week has always 7 days. how else would it make sense. the start
date += the period

You may want to look at what various databases will do for you with
date arithmetic.
E.g., You can type this in MySQL:
select date_add('2007-01-31', interval 1 month);
I'm not sure what it will answer, but you can type that. :-)
In Postgresql, it's more like:
select '1/31/2007'::date + '1 month'::interval;
but the point is that somebody else has already solved this most
likely, and you should definitely not try to re-invent the wheel on
this one.

Errrr.
Putting PHP source into MySQL is the WRONG way to go for security and
efficiency...
So, right there, you're in the wrong tree.
But the function you THINK you want is 'eval'
http://php.net/eval
Rule Of Thumb:
If 'eval' is the answer, you are almost certainly asking the wrong
question.

for ($year = date('Y'); $year <= date('Y') + 10; $year++){

}
Using the 2-digit year as your value is almost for sure a really Bad
Idea, unless you are dealing with legacy software that absolutely
needs it...

Sorry Richard, you solution fails since he wants to retain the leading
zeros on the 2 digit years. Using subtraction and not formatting the
result will result in the loss of the 0 in 07. Also, why call the date()
function 10 times by embedding it in the loop's terminate condition?
Cheers,
Rob.

Because 10 calls to date() is chump-change.
If you need to optimize away 10 calls to date() then something is
horribly wrong...
That said, it's pretty trivial to optimize it:
for ($year = date('Y'), $end = date('Y) + 10; $year <= $end; $year++){
If PHP guarantees the order of operations in for(, ; ; ) you could
even use $year instead of date('Y) on the $end assignment. That's
really getting silly about optimization, however.

10 chumps here, 10 there, 100 there, sloppy here, sloppy there, didn't
realize this call isn't chump change, a million there. It adds up.

No, but implicitly understanding wasted cycles will make it a habit you
don't need to think about.

If he thinks the Basic Auth popup is "icky" then go ahead and get rid
of it. No biggie.
There's no great advantage to Basic Auth, and, actually, having the
authentication done in PHP can be beneficial if you want to start
doing some custom logging and user profile modeling of logins.
It's certainly possible to get access to that, or to integrate that
after the HTTP Basic Auth has been done, but it can be "cleaner" code
to have it all as one conceptual mess in PHP, instead of a mess in
HTTP Auth Apache and another in PHP.

Not unless you send the headers out, either with PHP, or with
.htaccess (or httpd.conf) settings to do HTTP Basic Authentication

Not really.
$file = file_get_contents('/full/path/to/htpasswd');
preg_match_all('/(.*):(.*)$/msU', $file, $htpassd);
//play games with array_flip or array_slice here to get

Whether reading the file or the DB is faster depends totally and your
hardware and network topology between web server and db server, or
lack thereof.
Nothing anybody else can say on this matter has any real meaning.

Hey!
(Forgive me for top posting but in this case I think it makes more sense)
Thanks for the tips, you've given me some excellent starting points so will
start experimenting from there and come back when I start running into problems
(which I am sure I will as I still dont know RegEx so preg_* statements leave
me pretty much clueless... I know, I should learn)
If you (or anybody) wants to chip in any additional advise snippets, please go
ahead.
Cheers!

Satyam is correct: It's more secure to not indicate when the username
was incorrect differently from an incorrect password.
But it's definitely also (very much) less user-friendly.
For example, in seldom-used applications where the user is very likely
to forget their username, such as 99% of the stupid websites that
require me to register for something that needs no security in the
first place, it's a royal pain in the ass. :-)
You have to balance Security against Usability and make an informed
intelligent decision.
I also wondered why you have an ID number that somebody is supposed to
remember, and an email, when either one should be sufficient for most
applications, but it was easier to type out an answer than to get you
to re-think your design decisions. :-)

If you are splicing $_POST directly into your SQL, you are DEFINITELY

If we're gonna get picuyane...
The Location header technically requires a full URL.
And using a re-direct instead of an include is a shocking waste of
HTTP resources imho, but that may not matter if traffic is low.

I generally redirect there because on occasion the login process does
stuff like clear out potentially pre-existing session data from another
part of the site. Having it happen again because of the user refreshing
the page needs to be avoided. The redirect accomplishes this.

You've got things a bit backwards...
There's the CLIENT which curl represents.
There's the SERVER using HTTPS.
You use curl (CLIENT) to *send* POST data to the SERVER.
The SERVER responds with HTML output [*]
So you just send the POST data to the SERVER with curl, and read the
HTML response.
If you are also programming the SERVER side, the POST data in PHP is
just in $_POST array. (Unless you've configured things oddly.)
[*] Okay, the request could be for a JPEG or PDF or something, and the
Content-type and all that could be sending out something whack...

Do you need XML processing or SOAP?
What are your performance requirements?
Are there features in Apache 2 that you need?
Are you using only PHP extensions that are known to be [probably]
thread safe?
You've grossly under-documented your needs, to the point that nobody
can answer your question very well.

You go ahead and use XXX, because obviously the person making the
statement is so clueless that any rational discussion is moot.
Or, you quit that job and find a smarter boss.

Hey all,
We're going to be developing some PHP and Flash 8
applications and was wondering what books or online
tutorials people might recommend.
I've Googled a few online resources but nothing
terribly complete yet.
Any resources that have become favorites would be
greatly appreciated.
