Wrong! Take a look at the SET datatype
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/set.html. This allows you to have an
array of values in a single field, and the user can select any number of
them.
Sort of, but not really: This is a really specialized keyword, and
depends on binary mapping of enum-ish sets. As a results you have a
maximum of 64 possible values, and only 1 dimension. Large or
multdimensional arrays wouldn't work with this.

Before you give up, take a look at the XMLDBX PHP extension at
http://www.mohawksoft.org
It uses XML and works really well.

if you can't figure out how to get a list of files from a directory
using php then how do you expect to write a fully fledged 'editor'?
RTFM ... there are examples that show you how to do exactly what your asking.

Oh, yes, about that, how do you _really_ use PHP to do some reading on the

That sounds good. Could I know more about this clearing service? I
mean, to whom should my friend contact? Some bank? His company is in
Chicago. So, is there any central banking organization in United-States
that he should contact? Or some bank in Chicago?
Thanks in advance

Yes, there are quite a lot, but how do we know if such and such site
is a real one? Or an honest one? Just like phishing sites are
proliferating, I think we'd be careful with anything found in the Net.
Don't you agree?

When the company I work for sets up a payment gateway for a client we
always have the client set up the account through their bank. Each
bank has different payment gateway companies they are willing to work
with. Usually we are able to get a few choices from the bank and keep
it within the 3 or so gateways we support with our current e-commerce
solution.
Hope that helps!

Paypal is perfect for his needs. They provide an API for use with PHP and
are easy to set up and use.

Why this script give me a error:

in a file with a name mysql.php
the $con is correct
with the other that results
I don't know , but if you have only 1 mysql connection, there's no need to
use a MySQL link, you can just leave that out, and it will use the last
opened connection by mysql_connect.

Is there a way in a php script to launch another script but output something
and exit (terminating the original request) before that script finishes?
I have a script that accepts data, does some stuff, returns a response and
exits.
I want that page to accept data, return a response and exit. Then the stuff
happens.
Make sense?
I am STFW right now, but nothing yet.
Any advice is much appreciated.

If you're using PHP as an apache DSO, you may find that those functions
aren't available. If you don't have the pcntl_* functions available,
there a less attractive options...I've done a request with curl with a
short timeout to "spawn" the second request from PHP. You could likely
also do it with JavaScript/AJAX. There are probably lots of other ways,
in fact there may have been a discussion here some time ago about it
though I don't remember the outcome.

http://php.net/pcntl
What you describe is called "fork" for a more general Google
experience about it.
To take a previous post a bit further:
Unless you are 100% sure that all your OTHER extensions are
thread-safe, you should not add pcntl to your web-server installation,
unless you actually LIKE random server crashes as your forked threads
stomp all over each other...
And, from hard-won recent personal experience, in Gentoo, you have to
edit /etc/make.conf or whatever it is and NOT the /etc/packages
thingie, and definitely not just USE in the ports system, because
otherwise you will find yourself a victim of Gentoo assuming one of
the following:
Oh, you said you wanted pcntl, but this is an Apache build, and that's
bad, so I'll take it out.
Oh, you said you wanted PHP CLI with pctnl, but you had Apache module
before, so I'll uninstall Apache module to give you PHP CLI.
Oh, you said you wanted Apache Module without pcntl, but you had PHP
CLI before, so I'll uninstall PHP CLI to give you Apache module.
I'm not quite sure why Gentoo package making people thought all that
was a "good idea", but it did at least give me LOTS of practice in
installing PHP under Gentoo...
Tossing pcntl and Apache into the /etc/make.conf, for some reason
beyond my ken, convinced Gentoo that I actually wanted pcntl in CLI
where it makes sense, and not in Apache module where it doesn't.
This was PHP 4 and Apache 1.3, in case that matters.
YMMV
NAIAA
PS I do not claim to actually understand the Gentoo adminstration of
software installation system. In fact, I can categorically state that
I just do NOT "get" this system... Oh well. It's just my laptop, and
the REAL systems are managed by the expert.

Been playing with this for a few hours and it seems that anything but a plain
text file (doc,xls,pdf,etc.) is being trashed by ZipArchive.
Has anyone had similar experiences or am I just doing something stupid and
can't see it?
Whatever the problem is, it certainly is silent about it. I thought it may
be a permissions thing but that doesn't seem to be it. The one file it
doesn't mess up is a plain text file. Anything else gets trashed.

If you are (or even might be) attending the php|tek conference in
Chicago in May, and if you have experience running a live sound board
(e.g., Mackie 1604 VLZ Pro or similar) please contact me OFF-LIST.
Experience in rudimentary command line skills (like using * as a
wildcard) is a big plus.
While technically "on" topic, I'm pretty sure the minutae of this
would not be of interest to the general population here, and will not
post anything more about this here.
THANKS!

I may be replying to an outdated URL or even all out of order as I
play catchup on the list...
Your JS "play" function checks for precisely two possible browser
"appName" values:
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Netscape
Maybe Mozilla Firefox has "Netscape" in its appName, but I wouldn't
expect that...
I'm told I need a plugin still, so I guess maybe that part IS working...

Way too open-ended a question...
In what region?
For what specialties?
How experienced is the developer?
You can hear numbers from $15/hour in off-shored out-sourced quotes to
$X00/hour for experts in a particular areas.
X could even be a 2-digit number, for that matter.
Somebody somewhere probably even uses a 3-digit number for X.
Might as well ask us how much you should pay for a house without
saying where, how big, and in what condition...
That said:
If somebody is giving you solid steady ongoing work, you'd maybe want
to give them a "discount" from your usual rate, possibly in the 10%
neighborhood, since you'll be getting enough hours from them to make
it worth it.
Perhaps even invoice them at full price, but with the discount as a
line-item at the end, so they know what they are saving.
It can also be difficult to track time on such an open-ended deal at
first. I *highly* recommend you have a process in-place for that
client to open up new "tickets" with you, and to track the progress of
whatever needs doing and what got done.
This is also crucial to prioritize the zillion things that will get
thrown at you with (probably) little organization on their side of
things -- Or, at least, it will be organized to their convenience and
not necessarily in the best order to get your work done efficiently
and with their true best interests.
If you have a dozen 5-minute tickets, you can lump them together and
charge for an hour. If you have no tickets and just do a dozen
5-minute tasks spread out and don't account for them, it's like being
nibbled to death by ducks.
NOTE:
One reason I got back into a full-time position is that I sucked at
this kind of administrivia, and it just plain wasn't any fun (to me)
to change myself to be better at it.
YMMV

Hi,
I'm creating a Class which should allow user to setup the default theme CSS
file he would like to use to render a class object.
therefore i have a simple function :
public function SetTheme(string $ThemeName)
{
$this->m_ThemeUsed = $ThemeName;
}
which set the theme (CSS file) to use to render my object.
However, how can i tell to my class to render or update his render with new
CSS file theme ?
can it be possible to provoke something like a refresh ?
Or it is only a CSS or JS topic ?
thanks a lot,
