Is there a way to modify this code so it will always be the *next*
Christmas and Easter?
?php
$todays_date_seasonal_format = DATE(Y-m-d);
$next_Christmas = DATE(Y) . -12-25;
$next_Easter = date(D d M Y, strtotime(2009-03-21
+.easter_days(2009). days));
$days_until_Christmas = ( strtotime($next_Christmas) -
strtotime($todays_date_seasonal_format) ) / 86400;
$days_until_Easter = round(( strtotime($next_Easter) -
strtotime($todays_date_seasonal_format) ) / 86400);

Have you tried incrementing the year value by one when you define
$next_[holiday]

Hi list...
starting to go through a debug/understanding session of a couple of php web
apps. i'm wondering if there's any kind of tool/method that i can use to see
which files are accessed/included/required when a given page is displayed..
this would allow me to quickly understand the flow of the apps. searching
via google hasn't really turned up anything...
thoughts/comments/pointers welcome.
thanks!
Yes. How about get_included_files().

If the app has a support list, you could try asking for pointers on
that. Or you could try the authors.

One of the techniques I use is to place an echo('include name');
at the top of all includes. Then when parent scripts are run, you see
which includes are loaded.
I also do this to see if an include has any problems -- for if it
does, then you won't see it report.

I need a way of managing users/teams/etc.. implementing roles/access
rights/privs,etc...
I'd like a way of being able to have users report to the resource above
them, ie, the ability to have a hierarchical kind of tree approach would be
good as wel, as this would allow different user/mgr/teams to be moved
up/down in the tree as required.
If I can find the right process, I'll implement it in my targeted app. I'd
prefer something that's fairly well compartmentalized.. but if need be, I'm
willing to rip the right system out of it's parent app if I can find one
that's good!!!

At 6:51 PM -0500 11/15/08, Ron Piggott wrote: Is there a way to modify this code so it will always be the *next* Christmas and Easter? Also, I forgot to add. Easter lands on different dates depending upon several different factors. For example in Canada it's the day after it is in the USA -- I guess Canadians are slower, eh? :-) Also, in some religions the date is the full-moon after the Equinox and not a specific date. Furthermore, the Equinox does not always land on March 21, but sometimes it's March 20 (leap year). As an example, next year Easter will be on April 9, 12, 13, and 19th -- the ten days of Easter. :-) You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter So, my example here: http://www.webbytedd.com/b2/easter/ would be more correct if it took into account leap year, location, and what religion it's for.

You do have a race condition, you can end up with 2 of the same
confirm_numbers (you'd have to be unlucky, but it can happen).
2 hits at the same time = 2 selects getting the same
max(confirm_number), which results in 2 inserts with the same number.

PHP has support for it although I haven't wrote something using this API. I have been using it to authenticate my users some years ago an it is quite fast and rich. You certainly have a tree since LDAP is a directory although AFAIK it is slower when writing if you compare it with a database but much faster when reading data. So in case your users' info are changing very often then this is probably not the best solution for you but in any other case try to see if it fits your needs. http://gr2.php.net/manual/en/intro.ldap.php -- Thodoris
