Re: [PHP] String Type Unknown
Since it contains only digits 0-9 and letters a-f, it looks like hexadecimal. Why don't you try to read two characters at a time and either convert them to binary or check their ascii values. There seem to be many ascii values however. Where did you get this from?

Re: [PHP] Please review our coding standards
Most of your guidelines match with our practices. Here are some comments. On Sat, 28 Apr 2001, Steven Haryanto wrote: 0.1 We are writing PHP4 application here, not PHP3, nor Perl, Python, etc. So use PHP idioms. Same here. 0.3 Consistency matters. 0.4 Standards is important. 0.5 Readability matters. Especially since the code will be touched by several developers. Agreed. 1.0 Enclosing PHP code Always use ?php ?. We use ? ? here. But sticking to a single method is fine. 1.4 Whitespaces - No whitespace after function or method name. Example: exit() We also use this. But I have seen others using spaces. Even there are some examples in php-manual with spaces (e.g. array_shift). - Whitespace in expressions are usually not necessary. But use them when they enhance readability. $a = $b + $c*(5*time()); We prefer $a = $b + $c * (5 * time()); 1.5 Function names Function names are not case sensitive in PHP. Use the all-lowercase notation. Since most of us come from good old C regime, this should be the most readable form. 1.6 Quotes Use whichever ones you like. But if you can use '' for simple strings, and only if you need interpolation. This should _very_slightly_ improve performance too. 2.2 Debugging comments. # is used to comment out certain parts of a code during debugging. We always use /* */ because we filter php files through a stripper which also removes newlines before sent to the real server. 2.3 Documentation comments. We use the style used in the linux kernel. 3. Naming We use all lowercase for variables like variable, my_name. Also, in html forms, analogous variables take the form variable, myName. 4. File organization We use WML (website meta language - www.engelschall.com/sw/wml/) with make to produce single php files and do _not_ use the include feature of php. Also, we have written scripts that creates diff files between releases. 5. Testing We have few files that are included (WML include and not PHP include) from every file. The production version and testing versions have different sets of them, and make rebuilds the site selectively. 6. Creating documentation We use tex, and we are planning to go for texinfo. 7. Database programming We use _only_ postgresql, because of its feature richness and performance. So no problem of abstraction. 8. Error handling ... 8.2 Reporting error We use the guidelines given in GNU Coding Standards by Richard Stallman. 9. Portability We are expecting portability over POSIX like systems.

Re: [PHP] database server comparation
Slightly off topic... If you need features, postgresql is way ahead. It supports many advanced features that are not available under other systems such sub-selects, triggers, views, foreign key referential integrity, transactions and sophisticated locking (7.1 supports outer joins). It was believed that mysql was faster for lightweight work, but recent tests has shown that this is no longer correct. Even some large sites have been converted from mysql to postgresql (e.g. sourceforge). If you are looking for a high end commertial system, oracle has many features.
