For one, often the contents are rendered in a web browser and you may not want the full array of HTML tags to appear in the generated source code either for security reasons or for aesthetics. Another is that a lot of times HTML code can have tag bloat. Unnecessary tags reduce the amount of actual content you can store in a limited character column even though they may contribute little useful formatting. I think it's a good idea to decide exactly what HTML tags you want to allow. Then you have a few options with what you do with tags you don't want, such as stripping them out using strip_tags() with the optional parameter to allow those tags, or escaping the rest of the text with htmlspecialchars(). If you strip the tags out, it makes sense to do this before you save the value so they only need to be stripped out once.

[PHP] Anyone using Lighttpd + webdav and a PHP handler?
i.e. using PUT and using a .php script as the handler for it? I can successfully PUT a file to /path/to/file-that-doesnt-exist.txt However, when I try to do a PUT to an existing .php script it gives me access denied, most likely due to the fact that a file exists. I don't want it to actually try overwriting the file, and is-readonly = enable or disable doesn't seem to change this behavior... Just wondering if anyone out there has done this.

[PHP] SOAP - return a list of items
Hi, I am using the PHP5 SOAP Functions... I am trying to find some information on how to properly build a function into my web service to return a list of quotes. Each list will have a QuoteID, Origin, Destination, Name. Example: 1011, 48167, 90222, John Smith 1012, 54888, 19893, Joe Johnson etc... From everything I read, I just need to build an array with this information, and return it to the SOAP client trying to get the information. I think the problem lies in my WSDL, I am certain I need to setup a complexType that handles the arrayType. Unfortunately, I cannot find any resources on how to setup the WSDL. Can someone point in the direction to get going on this? Anyone have an example WSDL that handles this type of thing that I could look at? -- -Dan Joseph www.canishosting.com - Plans start @ $1.99/month.

Good for something that generates money, but not for my personal stuff which I'm not too fussed about. I would recommend http://www.rsync.net/ for this. They're pretty cheap ($1.60/GB/month), very reliable and their support is top-notch. If you need it you can pay a tiny bit extra ($2.80/GB/month) and get geo- redundant storage. They also have discounts if you need more than 25GB. I am not affiliated with them in any way, but I've been using the service since it launched and have never had a problem. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I have tried this on three separate PHP installations (all the same configs) and got the same results. I will look to see if there is an upgraded version. When applying round to the numbers everything works out as expected, but makes me uncomfortable. What is your precision in your php.ini file set to? Default is 14. If it is set to 16 or greater, then it would display the reseults you are seeing. Mine is set to 14, so it would automatically round it to 0. I think. I will test, brb.. hmmm weird, if I set my precision to 20 and restart, I still get 0 for the value. Odd, I would have thought it would have then shown me the expected value. I tried the highest precision setting that PHP appears to honour... 54. I still get 0 :) Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

That regex might not always work for you, (amp;) comes to mind. You
might want to look at parse_str() which you can use after parse_url() if
needed.

I think /(.*)\.php\?action=([^]+(?()[^+]+))/ might be a step in the
right direction for RegExing the additional URL query string parameters.
I haven't tested it... but either way, I thought it was worth mentioning
that the .php part should be \.php (or [.]php), otherwise it will
match any character followed by php.

That's a good thought. However, I am specifically sending a URL that
has not yet been urlencoded, so I know that amp; won't be occurring.
