And right there is your first mistake. The only time to not have E_NOTICE on
is when you're using legacy code that isn't E_NOTICE compliant and you don't
have the time to upgrade it to be compliant. Developing without E_NOTICE
means you're telling the computer "it's OK, let me just randomly guess where
this bug or security hole or random typo is". *Bad* idea.
*Always* develop in the tightest, most restricted, most nit-picky setting you
can get, regardless of the language.
If you want your syntax to be a bit simpler, I frequently use helper functions
along these lines:
function http_get_int($var, $default=0) {
return isset($_GET[$var]) ? (int) $_GET[$var] : $default;
}
if (http_get_int('var') ==5) {
// Do stuff
}
Clean to read, easy defaults, (reasonably) type-safe, and E_NOTICE friendly.

If you are looking for
isset($_GET['var'])
to return true if the value exists, but may be null, you can always use
if (isset($_GET['var']) || is_null($_GET['var]))
Albeit, I'm unsure if this will generate a warning if $_GET['var']
doesn't exist for the is_null() call. And in this case, I believe it
would be appropriate to ignore that one warning.

I cheat for some of mine. I just write what I want/need to a MySQL with
form inputs and then the page just queries the database. takes it 0
time to do it that way, and in case there is something screwed up
date-wise, they can go in and fix it without too much hassle.

<form>
<textarea></textarea>
<input type=submit>
</form>
and choose whatever you have access and feel comfortable to, to use as
storage. This allows you to use html code to style, and the result is shown
on the frontend.

I want to sort directories according there modification time and thought
accociative arrays would be perfect. But when I add an element like
$dirs = array (filemtime($d) => $d)
the previous ones are lost. I tried array_push but that doesn't seems to
work, at least I always get syntax errors. Next try was
array_merge(array (...)). So what next?

why not simply
$dirs[] = array (filemtime($d) => $d);

(sorry the previous one is incorrect, I misunderstood what you
wanted...)
so:
$dirs[filemtime($d)] = $d;

so:
$dirs[filemtime($d)] = $d;
Better, I think, to put the unique thing - the name, as the index.
Two directories may have the same modification time.
$dirs[$d] = filemtime($d);

Has he even retrieved the directories in sorted order by modification
time? If not he still needs to sort.

Has he even retrieved the directories in sorted order by modification
time? If not he still needs to sort.
Then he'll need an asort($dirs); They would not have come in any
particular order, so you have to sort them for whatever you need
anyway.

*ROFLMFAO*...Did you actually try google for json.php?
Second result:
http://mike.teczno.com/JSON/JSON.phps
This doesn't have a json_encode but needs a $json object which then
could be used as $json->encode(...). Thanks anyway.

I must admit I haven't checked each reference but the ones I have have
only packages to install and not a PHP source. Maybe I wasn't clear when
asking.

okay - good point - but in this case the OP is reading in an html
template file,
just a string of 20.7Kb, what could go wrong there?
this is probably one issue... the template is an HTML template
containing images like <img src="http://www.brainguide.com/xxx"/>. How
does PHP handle this stuff? I suppose that it is just a string and the
image at the URL is not really read, or am I wrong?
The newsletter does not have any attachements.
Now you're not making any sense at all...
Either your newsletter has the images in it, or it doesn't.
Embedded images are different to images with a href. To embed images,
you need to read them in to memory and attach them (much the same as a
regular attachment). Referencing a href like that doesn't do anything,
it's just part of the string.

I'm building a website right now that will be a database of attractions in
the Carolina and Virginia area.
The idea is that attraction owners can submit data to the database and the
database will automatically generate a page containing that information.
What I'm trying to figure out is how to generate the pages automatically and
have links to them added to the site. If someone could help me or point me
in the direction of a book or web page that covers this I would really
appreciate it.
