Re: [PHP] Pluralize a word for searching a database

2001-02-28 Thread richard merit

I don't think you can since the plural form of English
words can vary, woman, women, families, family, foot,
feet, church, churches, sheep, sheep, road, roads...

?

Re: [PHP] Daily Rotating Page

2001-02-28 Thread richard merit


We use something like this to changing some sections 
of the web page based on the day of the year

#day number of the year, ex day 181, 183, 183

$subPartQuery=date("z")"; 

or

# day of the week 0=sunday mon=1, tue=3
$subPartQuery=date("w")"; 


select from database where day_col = $subPartQuery

etc. etc.

you have to double check the mysql syntax

  Subject: [PHP] Daily Rotating Page
  
  I have set up a template for a page that displays
 the featured product of the day. All data is stored
 in a mySQL db. So every day I want to feature a 
  different product. Each product contains an entry
 in the db for picture, description, and hotlink.
  
  What would be the best way to go about this? Does
 anybody have any sample code on performing this
 specific task once a day?
  
  Your help is appreciated.

Re: [PHP] very off the topic questions here but hope someone can help out

2001-02-27 Thread richard merit

FWIW, some time back I had to change the owner of a
domain name from my name to a corp name.  Basically,
you have to get the forms from Network Solutions, fill
out the page, get it notorized and fax it back to
network solutions, you can mail it if you want. 
Change over takes a couple of days if you fax it

I assume this is what your taking about.

Re: [PHP] Help with mass import to MySQL using PHP

2001-02-24 Thread richard merit

No answer, but a question.  I noticed you're using, in
effect, two id's for each entry, a id number and a doc
id number.  The first is accomplished thru
auto-increment.  Wouldn't it be easier to us just one
id number, a=LAST_INSERT_ID(id+b) and reserve the
first 10k numbers (b), whatever is needed for your old
files then run a php code to format your old entries
and increment those 1 - 10and forget about
random numbers.  If I'm not mistaken, if you generate
random numbers you'll have to check, to be on the safe
side, to make sure the random number wasn't used for
someother doc.

Re: [PHP] Terrible Hosting Experience

2001-02-20 Thread richard merit

Actually alabanza hosts a number of "hosting"
companies from their baltimore sp? location.  About
two weeks ago a "hosting" service I used went down,
they use alabanza as well, down for almost two days. 
Then when it did come up, the permissions were all
wrong and I couldn't change the files for a time. The
problem appears to be with the alabanza servers and
that caused problems for a number of "hosting"
services.

Re: [PHP] ereg match problem

There's a code section at zend.com.  I noticed someone
wrote an email check routine that checks for all 
domains and the correct format.  You might try there.
