[PHP] Re: how to user
Heres an example from the Variables from outside PHP section of the PHP
docs.
Warthog
Guinness
Stuttgarter Schwabenbräu
So basically you need to add the [] to the name. So in this example your
results will come back as an array: $beer = array("warthog", "guinness");
if you select the first two items.

[PHP] Re: file_exists for URLs
Have a look at the fopen() function in the FileSystem Function section of
the Docs. fopen() can open a file over http:// and I imagine it returns
FALSE if it cant open it. If it doesn't return false, you could analyse the
headers in $http_response_header.
Hope this helps.

[PHP] Re: Launching a Browser Win with PHP - Is it possible?
You will have to use mainly Javascript for this. What I have done in the past is: STEP 1. In the tag put a onSubmit argument which does a window.open(). This should pop up a small window which you can use writeln() to add content to it. Like your 'Uploading...' message or an image. STEP 2. Also in the onSubmit argument, set this.target = the new window name. This will make the form post to the popup window. STEP 3 When the file is finished uploading, I get the PHP to output the javascript: window.opener.refresh(); // Refreshes the main window window.opener.focus(); // Brings the main window to the top window.close(); // Closes the popup window. This should sort you out.

[PHP] Detecting GD version
Has anyone got any better ideas about how to detect what version of GD is
running other than the following. The reason I ask is that I want to use
imagecopyresampled() only if available ie. GD >= v2.0.
OPTION 1.
Parse phpinfo() output for the GD version info. Expensive.
OPTION 2.
Run imagecopyresampled() suppressing errors and then check the error msg.
ie:
@imagecopyresampled();
if ($php_errormsg != "imagecopyresampled(): requires GD 2.0 or later")
// GD >= v2.0
} else {
// GD < v2.0
}
Option 2 is the best I can come up with at the moment luckily the
"requires GD 2.0" error message is triggered before the argument validation
errors.
Anyone got a better idea?

[PHP] Re: Extract HTML tags
If you can guarantee that your body tags are lowercase and have no args, then I would check out strtok() in the string functions. If your body tags are not that easy to match then I suggest you use either a regex or write a state machine to parse the string. A good html parsing state machine is in the php source for htmlstriptags. Note that Regex's are extremely expensive on large strings.

[PHP] Re: displaying a select number of rows from a sql query
With the line:
while (list($link, $title, $content) = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
The php docs don't actually say what the list() function returns, but since
your getting an infinite loop i would say that it probably evaluates to
true no matter whats on the right hand side of the assignment. I would
suggest that you use:
while ($tmp = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
list($link, $title, $content) = $tmp;

return "\"" . str_replace("\"", "\"\"", $value) . "\"";

Run this function on each value then implode them with a comma and put a \n
