if you were going to do that you may as well use PHP_EOL

Re: [PHP] Newline
In general, I try to think of single quotes as being literal and
double quotes as being interpreted.
In that case, we expect 'some line\t with a tab, a variable {$obj-
member}, and a newline\n' to produce exactly:
some line\t with a tab, a variable {$obj-member}, and a newline\n
Yet, the same thing in double quotes:
some linewith a tab, a variable foo, and a
newline
As a result, I use single quotes whenever I can. Otherwise, double.

It's a performance measure - by preparing sql statements, you save on
the parsing and the network traffic. Unless you're doing lots of
database transactions per second, I doubt if you'll notice it.

Re: [PHP] what is the point of prepare?
If you're making just one insert; it's probably not the best
approach. However, if you're inserting multiple rows, benchmarks
have shown that preparing a statement and binding the params is
faster. Also, with mysqli, you can strictly define types for fields
and remove the step of validation -- so they say. I'd rather not try
{} catch{} a query and give an error on failure... so, I prepare the
data as I test its validity anyway.

I am trying to figure out what you are trying to do here.
The code is for recursiving directory structure.
Starting at a given location
Ok, so, let me get this straight.
You want the ability to display alphabetically, the files/directories of a given directory and all
sub-directories?
Now, do you want this echo'ed to the screen, or saved in a file like you did in
your earlier example?
either way, the following code will help you I think.
?php
function displayDirectory($path) {
$data = glob($path.'/*');
foreach ( $data AS $entry ) {
if ( in_array($entry, array('./', '../')) ) {
continue;
}
if ( is_dir($entry) ) {
displayDirectory($entry);
} else {
echo {$entry}\n;
}
}
}
displayDirectory($_GET['location']);

Re: [PHP] problem with bind_param
The PHP docs show:
$stmt = $mysqli-prepare(INSERT INTO CountryLanguage VALUES
(?, ?, ?, ?));
$stmt-bind_param('sssd', $code, $language, $official, $percent);
for usage. Your $prep-bind_param() doesn't seem to include the
definitions. 'sssd' in the above example, string, string, string,
decimal. Further, you should probably make sure that your $_POST
data is set and isn't null or a variable type other than what is
expected.

characters for the pattern and subject?
$szoveg = preg_replace('/'.$mit.'/','/'.$mire.'/',$dokumentum);
You could otherwise try ereg_replace(); without the slashes, or do
an htmlentities($dokumentum);.
Look again and you will notice that $mit and $mire are both arrays.
Also, the starting and stopping points are in the $mit array elements.
The starting and stopping points are not allowed in the $mire array.
This was the offending line in the code. I removed the e from the modifiers list and it started
working. See if you can run the code without it.
'/strong[^]*(.*?)\/strong/i', // strong
you missed your closing option
'/\/?p[^]*/i', // P
or maybe you should have a different entry to remove the /p and replace it
with nothing.
this
'/p[^]*/i', // P
that
\n\n\t,
this
'/\/p[^]*/i', // /P
that
'',
Side note, you might want to look into using the '+' instead of the '*'.
'+' = must be one or more
'*' = 0 or more
In some of the cases here, I see where this can bite you in the butt later.

Hi,
Begining using the php5 mysql functions and want to know what is the point of
preparing/binding the data before I insert it?
$prep = $mysqli-prepare (INSERT INTO cd (cdid,title,artist) VALUES
('0',?,?));
$prep-bind_param ('22',$title,$artist);
Ta,
R.
With a prepared statement, you can use mysqli_get_metadata() to get
information about the columns of the result that statement will
generate, without having to actually execute the statement (or parse it
yourself).
This comes in really handy if you have dynamically generated SQL and
need to know what the names/types of the columns are going to be before
you execute it.
Mysqli_get_metadata() also includes info on the original names and
tables of the columns (if they have been aliased) and what their types
are. This is great for generating multi-table insert statements from
dynamically generated SQL queries.

[PHP] Configuring 5.2.4 for Mac OSX and Webstar
I'm having difficulty compiling and upgrading to version 5.2.4. Also using WebSTAR. Here's the steps I took and the resulting errors. Any help would be appreciated! 1. Download the latest copy of PHP source code from [ http://www.php.net/ ]http://www.php.net 2. Open the Terminal application (in Applications/Utilities). 3. Type in cd and then drag the PHP source folder from the Finder to the Terminal. 4. Click back in the Terminal and hit return. This should put you in the PHP source folder. 5. Type in ./configure and hit return. If you get a command unknown error, type in sudo chmod a+rx configure and retry. Wait for the script to complete. 6. Type in make and hit return/enter. Wait for the compile to complete. Results, no compiled php to copy to!
