Yes, it's a much more complicated process, and one that I wouldn't enter
into without verifying there was a performance problem. The neat thing is
you could do this at any point as you can renumber the left and right values
at will--as long as you don't *reorder* them.

People who love to work on complicated problems often fall victim to
premature optimization because it's fun to do. I was guilty of this myself
earlier in my career, but as CPUs and memory and disk speeds increased over
the decades, it's harder to justify it. At least back then the optimization
that wasn't *necessary* still had a good payoff. Nowadays you can waste days
shaving 10ms off of an operation that takes 1s. Congratulations, you've just
poured $$ down the drain. But boy wasn't that fun! :)
Good luck with the implementation. I'd love to hear how it pans out once
you're done, and I'm sure the list would find it useful as well.

Shawn, I don't know if I have a good reason, other than I rather like
working with string vars instead of array vars from $_REQUEST for
(sticky forms and conditionals). I can check/verify them as well in the
process.
You should probably get used to dealing with the array variables.
However, you can also look at the extract() function. It won't do
exactly what you want, but it will pull the array keys/values into the
current symbol table. Use with caution (note the second parameter to the
function).
Paul
Well, It occurs to me that you can't code in PHP without getting use to
dealing with arrays. ;-)
I just much rather like typing:
<input name="f_email" value="<?PHP if (isset($t_email)) { print
htmlspecialchars($t_email);} ?>" />
Instead of:
<input name="f_email" value="<?PHP if (isset($_GET['f_email'])) { print
htmlspecialchars($_GET['f_email']);} ?>" />
or
if ($t_ok) {
}
instead of:
if ($_GET['f_ok']) {
}
Save's a lot of typing time as far as I can tell.

Small correction.. with my established naming convention.. the above

It still makes sense to validate the format of the address as soon as
possible. The way you describe it the problem will have to be dealt
with further down the pipe when email is sent to "haha your form
doesn't have@validation!". Why not grab it before it gets that far?

I've got a massive PHP script which takes nearly an hour to run. Sometimes,
when it comes close to the end, it mysterious restarts itself and I have to
wait for another hour for it to complete.
Is there any reason why a PHP script would restart itself like this?
FWIW, I'm running PHP5 with Apache 2 on a Linux server.

Clarification please.
Is this cli or browser based?

Ah, sorry. It's a browser-based script.

Would someone write me a syntax so all the web site addresses in $data turn
into links
$data = “Visit our web site http://www.site.com, http://www.secondsite.org and
http://www.thirdsite.info.”;
My desired results for what I am asking for help turn $data into:
$output =“Visit our web site <a
href=”http://www.site.com”>http://www.site.com</a>, <a
href=”http://www.secondsite.org”>http://www.secondsite.org</a> and <a
href=”http://www.thirdsite.info”>http://www.thirdsite.info</a>.”;
Please make provision for .net web sites as well.

I would check for url regex patterns and build a solution off of that.

"Would someone write me a syntax" hummm...
If you need help, we can do that, but if you want someone to write it for you,

Now that I have seen some examples I will work on this and may ask a specific
question tomorrow. I know how to program in PHP --- I am just not strong in
the string manipulation commands. Thanks for these valuable links. Ron

Hello,
recently I had a trouble with tracking how many downloads of files I
get, that is why I have decided to write my own simple solution and now
I would like to share with product that can be usefull for many of You!
JunkBox :: File Download Analytics
http://junkbox.ognisco.com
JunkBox is a lightweight web application that can track your files and
record every single click. You can get the total number of hits and
statistics on who downloaded your files and how and when. Moreover it
is completely transparent so every link looks like an ordinary link to
an ordinary file.
For example this looks like an ordinary link to an ordinary file:
http://files.ognisco.com/junkbox/junkbox-0.2-r93-20110120.zip
but, just add '?stats' at the end:
http://files.ognisco.com/junkbox/junkbox-0.2-r93-20110120.zip?stats
and here you can get statistics of how many hits per day this particular
file has.
What's more you can go and list files in the directory where you can see
hits counter for every file inside.
http://files.ognisco.com/junkbox/
And at the end you can get the list of the most popular files:
http://files.ognisco.com/?top
Also you can create your own custom theme.
JunkBox is distributed under terms of GNU GPL license.
Home page: http://junkbox.ognisco.com
Online demo: http://junkbox.ognisco.com/demo
Feel free to download, test and use JunkBox.
Any feedback highly appreciated.
