Re: [PHP] turn off the www
Wouldn't $newUrl = 'https://' . substr( $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], 4 ) be a _hell_ of a lot faster? If one considers micro-seconds 'a _hell_ of a lot faster', then _maybe_ And it could be slower if you avoid sending someone from http://example.com/ to https://ple.com/ by adding a substring check. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Breaking up data efficiently
In my opinion you should save exceptions for, well, EXCEPTIONal problems. Either that or you use exceptions for a large system that discriminates against specific types of errors and handles each error type in a totally different way. Can we say bloat? Depending on the system, malformatted data may very well be exceptional. (adj. 1. being an exception; uncommon) Judging by the lack of error-checking in the OP, it seems to be the case. Using trigger_error or return false would both be reasonable solutions as well. Really, how errors are handled is up to the individual. My point was that Wee Keat may consider adding a few lines for validation. Certainly adding any error-checking will reduce efficiency, which is what the original question was regarding. (As an aside, some day i will have to find out how many times the word bloat appears on this list.) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

As I said, though, you should be using a MySQL date field. Have a look
at the MySQL manual for the corresponding functions to the above --
there's probably a quicker way with MySQL too.
Dates should almost always be stored as dates in a database, not
varchars. This allows for more and/or faster date functions, sorting
that works (it only works with -mm-dd format in varchars), and you
can select the data into a unix timestamp instead of needing to
strtotime() first.
The calculation in mysql couldn't be much simpler.
select datediff(StampDate, '2003-08-23') as StampDateDiff
From the manual:
DATEDIFF() returns the number of days between the start date expr and
the end date expr2. expr and expr2 are date or date-and-time
expressions. Only the date parts of the values are used in the
calculation.
mysql SELECT DATEDIFF('1997-12-31 23:59:59','1997-12-30');

Re: [PHP] Breaking up data efficiently
I agree, your implementation is efficient. It does depend on the data
being entirely proper, however. If you can not be entirely sure (and
you should rarely be), i might add a suggestion that increases code
length, but decreases the chance of problems:
You might consider creating a function to validate the location as
well as list() = explode() it.
$locations = explode('|', $booking-booking_flight_details);
foreach ($locations as $location)
$list[] = split_location($location);
Create the function split_location to return the associative array or,
if it is invalid, throws an exception. If PHP4, replace the exception
with similar error handling.

I am not aware of any such package, however you may way to keep in mind that what you need right now is not necessarily what you will need in the future. The bloat you see in some, such as phpadsnews, has likely been added because needs expanded. Your needs may also expand. Your client/manager may want to track impressions in a certain way in the future; will LightweightAdManager handle that? Most such packages start out fulfilling a simple need, and features are added as clients or managers desire new functionality. I agree that a lot of packages are bloated, but in many cases the bloat is there to provide flexibility so you do not need to rework everything to add feature Foo.

There are a few examples at http://php.net/header
In your case you might want to do something like:

// some validation of $article if necessary
$url = sprintf('/services.php/%s'. $i);
header('Location: ' . $url);

Re: [PHP] Re: A Bug in string 'brbr eD'?
Are you viewing this via a web server? It's probably returning content-type text/html, which means that you might need to htmlspecialchars() that string. That's what i was thinking. It looks like how some browsers would render that string. Could you copy the relevant code into a message?
