Your email client is annoying, it doesn't quote. Haha.
Anyway, so, you're loading up that array with arrays of arrays, here:
1.
$position = 1;
2.
3.
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array
<http://www.php.net/mysql_fetch_array><http://www.php.net/mysql_fetch_array>($result))
4.
{
5.
$_SESSION['fullRestaurantList'][$position] = $row;
6.
$position++;
7.
}
8.
9.
$_SESSION['totalNumberOfRestaurants'] = $position;
So, if you get 7 rows. Your array will have:
Array => (Row 1 Data)
Array => (Row 2 Data)
.. etc
You do not have ['fullRestaurantList']['ID']. In the page you're
referencing you use something like
$_SESSION['fullRestaurantList'][$i]['SomeValue']. I assume $i is the
"Position" in the array, so you likely want to use
$_SESSION['fullRestaurantList'][$i]['ID'] to get the ID field from that row.
If you need a quick dump to better understand what data you have in your
session, try making a page called session_dump.php in the same directory
with this source:
<pre><? print_r($_SESSION) ?></pre>
That will give you a good idea of what your session array looks like,
and you should see clearly that ['fullRestaurantList']['ID'] does not exist.
Hope this helps!

I'd question the wisdom of doing such a thing at all. When it comes to
coding standards the important thing is not what they are, just that
they exist and are observed by everybody.
This sounds like a colossal waste of time, whether you can find an
automated method or not, for no apparent gain. Seriously, what's the
benefit of using camel over underscores? Sounds like a decision made
by a manager who feels the need to create work when none is actually
required.

I'm trying to profile a site on our development server to see why it
takes around 4 seconds to generate a pretty basic page. I installed
xdebug to use for the profiling, and now I'm really confused. Even
though it takes around 4 seconds to build the entire page, the profile
says that the total processing time is around 416ms. I thought it
might be calls to require_once/include/include_once. While they are
significant (around 46%), it says they only account for 193ms. What
could account for that much difference between what xdebug calculates
versus the total elapsed time?

Are you counting "total elapsed time" from the perspective of the web browser?
If so, YSlow might be helpful:

Nope. Basically it connects to a database to load an ACL (which at
this point is empty, so even that isn't doing much work) and spits out
"Hello World". I timed the page top-to-bottom using microtime to make
sure it wasn't network latency, and the elapsed time it calculated is
very close to the time I see displayed by the YSlow browser extension
(around 4 sec.). The server uses eAccelerator with both caching and
optimization enabled.
This is another one of those ZendFramework sites I'm setting up. (Last
time, I brought the execution time down considerably by moving the
framework from a network drive to a local drive, but that's already in
place this time.)
A simple <?php phpinfo() ?> page executes very quickly (about
0.01seconds timed w/microtime, under a half second recorded in YSlow),
so I can't see that this could be held up any by IIS (yes, it's a
Windows server).
Even if the page is getting bogged down in calls to
include(_once)/require(_once), shouldn't that time still be reflected
in the profile calculation?
I thought xdebug was supposed to be a pretty good profiler. If it
calculating the time correctly, where are the other ~3.6 seconds
going?

I'm using YSlow too.
Here's the last run I did:
YSlow: 4.494 seconds
Elapsed (microtime(true) - $start): 3.990795135498 seconds
xdebug(WinCacheGrind): 402ms (0.402 seconds)

Just an idea: try using the (microtime(true) - $start) approach in
portions of code to try isolate the portion that is taking more time.
Sometimes that helps me to find "the" function that is slowing
everything down.

One night I saw a script wait indefinitely for a response from a tanked
database, and PHP's max_execution_time trigger never fired to end the script,
even though it was set to a pretty low value. Some poking around led me to
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php where I found this odd
note:
"Any time spent on activity that happens outside the execution of the script
such as system calls using system(), stream operations, database queries, etc.
is not included when determining the maximum time that the script has been
running. This is not true on Windows where the measured time is real."
The last sentence was particularly confusing because I was running on Windows.
At any rate, if xdebug is using the same mechanism used by set_time_limit() and
max_execution_time, perhaps that could explain your discrepancy?
I second Jonathan's suggestion; I would try calling microtime() before and
after your database query, and before and after anything else that isn't
strictly "execution of the script".

I tried this where I could. (The ZF library itself is on a local
machine drive where I don't have access to edit the files, so I can
only edit files within the project itself. That means I can't inspect
too deeply.) I'm starting to think perhaps there is a bug in either
xdebug or WinCacheGrind. From what I can tell, the numbers I see in
WinCacheGrind look like they are off by about a factor of 10 pretty
uniformly.

Do you have shell access on these servers, and are they running Linux or the
like? If so, this seems like what you'd want:
php -i | sort -u

That's what I was just about writting.
If you use linux --> you can shot calls to the system and watch it's
response!
Then all you have to do is to install a cd burning software which have an
ability to control it through the terminal!
Good luck mate!

Thanks a lot. As far as i know, both methods dealing with urls are
WEB-SERVER-TECH. While I was installing mediawiki, i did nothing with the
file "httpd.conf", no changes made on <mod_rewrite>.
The mediawiki install script cannot do nothing to httpd.conf i think.
So i'm confused about how the url-rewriting mechanism is activited.

This can also be accomplished by Apache's "lookback" feature. If it's
turned on on the server, Apache will look back through the URL until it
finds something which is a file, and then consider the remainder of the
URL parameters, which it provides to the file. Thus,
http://example.com/index.php/pepperoni/pizza
will end up at http://example.com/index.php with pepperoni/pizza as
parameter, assuming that pepperoni and pizza are not files/directories
and index.php is not a directory.
The lookback feature can be turned on in the Apache configuration file,
which, on a public server, you have no access to.

I think PATHINFO is probably what i'm looking for.
Paul mentioned the "lookback" feature, i think that is or about the same
thing.
MediaWiki-1.15.1 use the pattern of url for common pages like this :
some_path_to_mediawiki/index.php/something , and the 'something' supports
even non-english characters. Maybe this kind of usage to transfer params can
improve the SEO ?
I was trapped in the question "how can the MediaWiki scripts affect the
apache's behaviour", then finally found out it just takes advantage of the
existing "FEATURE" when i tried this kind of url to my script which var_dump
the $_SERVER and saw the "pathinfo" ...
Thank you all, best wishes ~

Which is the better approach:
They are no better approch, only bad ones. I'm using to organize my
code in module. Each module require the needed modules. This design
permit me to ease case testing, and ease maintenance because you know
quite fast what module can be impact by the alteration of another.
I never have to speak about scallability of this method, because I
never work on a very big system. But that's optimization, I think it'll
need some sed (sed -i 's/\<require_once\>/require_ondemand/' project/)
and a strong mecanism to provide including on demand.

You'll find they are already in an array which you can access as
$_POST['option'] - from there foreach() should be the next step.

You could read TFM which has an example -

foreach ($_POST['option'] as $value) {
echo "Value: $value<br />\n";

In php.ini turn the "display_errors" to "on".
If any error,warn or notice shown,copy them and paste here.
So you can tell us what doesn't work.
good luck~

I have it working now. I had a comma where a semicolon should have been.
Silly error on my part but thanks to everyone who tried to help me.

See http://bugs.php.net/?id=48612
"Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. And RTFM". (RTFM is my interpretation of the rest).
And that only took a little more than a month. Thanks very much.
Can anyone here tell me why the CLI behaviour reported is not a bug? An
explicit manual reference will do.
Btw, I brought it up here already:
