It's a prime example of bad design. Take a long look at the records of this table in an active blog, with a survey of each of the fields and their values. You'll see what I mean. Paul -- Paul M.

Check out PhpStorm from JetBrains. I know it handles rename-refactors of PHP files, functions, and classes, and I'm nearly positive it does the same HTML/CSS/JS files, as well.

[PHP] PHP based online survey tool
Hello All, I am looking to develop an online survey for a non-profit. The user should be able to complete the survey and see the results in the form of a visualization (i.e. pie chart) upon completion. I found this tool (http://www.iscripts.com/survey/) but not sure how good it is. Does anyone have any suggestions for PHP based online survey tools? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance. Best, Christopher This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.

How you store things in tables can sometimes get a little tricky. One way to approach this is with normalized tables and using joins in your query like you are doing. To make this work, in your main entries table, have a field that indicates what the entry type is. If you are doing one select that gets both articles and news stories, having that extra field can help you distinguish what type it is, and which fields contain data in each record. (cf: Wordpress wp_posts table for an example of how this is done. They store posts, pages, and attachments in a single table this way. I can't say if this is a better arrangement than keeping them in separate tables.) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Last time I used Dreamweaver, it seemed to be able to manage this, at least partially... This is akin to refactoring, but I don't know of any apps that do that very well for PHP/HTML/CSS/JS/... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Aside from the fact that, yes, much of what you're asking for has to do with the user interface and not PHP, there is no ONE way to build a PHP app. PHP is flexible enough to allow you to do it any of a number of ways.

[PHP] 5.3.9RC2 and 5.4RC2
Hi everyone, 5.3.9RC2 works fine with all my apps so far. 5.4RC2 broke with sqlsvr and its PDO in addition to Wincache, which I've already brought to MS' attention. What's the estimated official release of 5.4? I can't wait for the feature session.upload_progress* in 5.4 which I need to do some testing as how I can implement that into my existing apps!!! That's just awesome!! Thanks for all your continuous hard work :) Platform: Win08R2/IIS7.5 SP1 with current patches running PHP as FastCGI. Applications: drupal, joomla, mediawiki, wordpress, and a few of my own :) Cheers, Tommy -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
