Optimization also becomes a more manipulative, due to the stem point
of your further language utilization. If you divide your languages,
and disperse them through a C framework, you can utilize the languages
in their refined form, and if any portion of an individual language
gives optimization problems, you move that particular segment toward a
more optimized C implementation.

It's not a 'hard coded' C, it's just a print to the page with C as the

  Going back to my previous question then, 'what's the

PHP is just a portion of the ripple from C, which can got to php(e.g.
echo html), and then js in the html, and css in the html, but either
can be used in the html with interpolation of strings. Thhe C acts as
the pivot point, intertwining the languages above. You can use each
one individually. You could do this from a php
standpoint/python/html/etc. C becomes the root and the others just
branches and leaves woven together with %whatever.

Just a case scenario.  If C is included to 'to spit out the above in

approach may mean job stability in this situation, I could see it
opposite as it causes more down time for the business as being unable

and/or customers/clients.  In the end, if the business can't stay in
business, you're out of a job.  In one of my recent job experience, I
was in a 3 person IT team.  We have a DBA, developer (also the
manager), and I'm the system/network/telecom admin.  We all have cross
discipline experience and train ourselves in areas we lack for basic
support.  Every one of us don't have a problem taking a month vacation
out of the country when the other 2 to provide 24/7 support for the
facility.  Folks at other sites worries even if they try to take 2
weeks vacation and that's not even leaving country.  How fast and well
do you someone can be cross trained to learn C?  Even if just basic
support?

As for printf, PHP has that and print.  Regarding learning and using
C, I had only 1 quarter of it in college and that was back in the
early '90s.  I don't remember C as an 'over complicated in an
optimization standpoint', IIRC, I just had problems with memory
optimization, but that's another issue.  But I haven't used it since
other than scanning the some source code for compilations W(A/I)MP x64
stack.  About optimization, isn't it more in terms of modular design
then including more languages than is necessary?  If PHP is sluggish,
wouldn't be best to bring it up to the PHP developers?

Not C just for opto, but basic C for the later project utilization.
It's just a quick spit out of the other languages which are
interpolated to C string on the page.

A simple C string with everything else you want in the higher level
languages. But then you decide a few php results are slow, so you use
a C function. Then you decide a few python functions are slow when
returning a js mouseover, so you use a js or C function.

It's just a simple platform to use the higher level 'prototype' languages on.

 As I mentioned below, if PHP is sluggish, shouldn't it be brought up
 to the PHP developers instead?  Why would you try include more
 complexity?

I'm sure it has, it's called benchmarks. And they can't top C or
Fortran, last I saw. But that is not the point. And did you not see my
point about how it's just an initial usage of C to put out php and
html/css/js, and that 'complexity' must be as simple as a printf
function in another language. Why don't you snatch your nose out of
php's asshole for a second to realize it's not the center of a
multilanguage project, and sometimes neither is C, or any other
language It's the consumers, or the designers, or yours.



 Just a case scenario.  If C is included to 'to spit out the above in
 html/php/js/css' and should you happen to be out town/country on
 vacation, the other developer(s) doesn't know C and the application
 requires some minor bug fix or minor addition.  The problem is now
 that modification required is in C.

 No, the problem lies in the error message, which lies in the
 underlying language.

If you don't know step by step function programming, or debugging,
then why are you arguing with me?

And familiarity with work is in properly
 commented and documented code. If the company isn't willing to
 maintain that throughout the course of development, then your
 misunderstanding is money out of their pocket.

Nah, just your clients, and that should have been accounted for in
your project bid.



   Do you want your vacation
 disturbed?

 For money, I comment and document, but disturbed isn't a problem, as
 long as it's a guaranteed under the contract.

 Except in the case of an emergency, I don't. :)

 But does the contract end at consumer misuse, or your discretion, and
 do they decide, or you? And then when does that end, when you're too
 important to respond, or had a better offer?

  Not to
 mention if where you're vacationing at have a fast internet
 connection, or even an internet connection at all.  While this
 approach may mean job stability in this situation, I could see it
 opposite as it causes more down time for the business as being unable
 to adapt quickly to the ever changing needs required by the economy
 and/or customers/clients.  In the end, if the business can't stay in

 We have a DBA, developer (also the

 No, the DBA is needed because the amount of the data that our site
 handles for the customers specific to local region.  The manager just
 happens to be a software developer.

Did he tell you that, or provide credentials? That;s what most project
heads do, I assume.


We only wrote codes because we
 needed some functionality to improve efficiency of the site.  Prior to
 writing the code, we had submitted a BRD to corporate for them to
 provide us that functionality.  They said it's not necessary without
 further explanation.  In the end, we all left the company because
 upper management didn't seem to be really business  economic aware.
 Even the site manager left the company too.  For me, when the CEO
 gives a presentation about outlook for the company, he said that
 'we're still trying to figure out why the company didn't meet last
 year projections'.  This was 6 months in the new fiscal year.  I lost
 all respect for upper management.  In all my job experiences, except
 that company, all of the upper management are very concerned about how
 on track is the company with the projections on a month by month
 basis.  They all wanted daily, weekly, and monthly reports.  That
 company didn't ask for any.


   We all have cross
 discipline experience and train ourselves in areas we lack for basic
 support.

 Not going to argue there, see my response from experience above.

  Every one of us don't have a problem taking a month vacation


 Vacation in IT is an oxymoron, and so is intellectual unavailability,
 especially with the current interconnectivity.


 Is it?  In one of my job experience, a director once asked me why he
 didn't see any problems from my area.  I simply told him that if he
 did, then I wasn't be doing my job.

Maybe by 'problems' he meant other than what you think are problems.
ANd maybe he thinks your job is to report maybe employee unhapiness,
instead of employee misbehavior, maybe the miscommunication is in
terminology of the word problem

  That being said.  Doing your job
 means that you should still have a peace of mind to take a vacation or
 sleep better at night.

But how does the client take peace of mind when you're unavailable?





 out of the country when the other 2 to provide 24/7 support for the
 facility.  Folks at other sites worries even if they try to take 2

Then you obviously didn't read my example fully.  Isn't
Javascript/Flash a language?  Javascript/Flash provides what PHP
lacks, client side.  If PHP has performance issues, you're introducing
complexity by adding C into the mix when the performance issues should
be brought to the PHP developers' attention, as stated before.  If you
really have issues with PHP's performance, why even bother to include
PHP then?  Why not just do C to crank out HTML, JS, and CSS since
portability isn't a concern as you've stated?  My nose isn't in PHP's
asshole.  I code in C# (ASP.NET and Winforms) when my need is there.
In some of those instances, I had to use PInvoke because C# didn't
provide the functionality I need.  So I don't have problems using
multi-language solution.  To me, your proposal just add complexity
into something that should have been properly addressed in the first
place.  This brings right along with the discussion about PHP
implementing threads.  If you need threads for better performance and
since PHP doesn't provide it, then I do see use for C.  Other than
that, I don't ATM.



 Just a case scenario.  If C is included to 'to spit out the above in

Replace ?php print (radio_.$result_from_mysql) ; ? with an option[] array.

Realize that the name of the radio input stays the same -- it is the

Here's a demo:

 Hi Dan

 One method for this is to use URL Rewriting (which can be implemented on
 Apache using htaccess).

 Through URL Rewriting you can first make the following URL:

 http://www.website.com/article-clean-url

 http://www.website.com/article-clean-urlto internally behave as the
 following:

 http://www.website.com/index/user/ http://www.website.com/index/user/11


 http://www.website.com/index/user/1and then you can use the same
 getParam
 method to grab the value and carry out further processing.

 Hope this helps.

My point exactly!  So long as the name of the name[] part is the same
they will be treated as the same group of radio buttons.

So here is the long and short; if the name is the same and you specify
an index then names with the same index will be grouped together:
name[1] and name[1] are the same but different group from name[2].  If
you don't specify an index, but the name is the same, then they are
grouped together:  name[], name[].

By grouped together I mean that only one of the group can be selected
and therefore successful on submit.
