    str_replace doesn't work when subject is array of arrays

    Is str_replace supposed to work when the subject (haystack) is an array of arrays, not just a simple array? Here's an example: $old_array[0] = array("needle1","needle2","needle3"); $old_array[1] = array("needle4","needle5","needle6"); $new_array = str_replace("needle","pin", $old_array); echo...

    PHP session vars time out after only a few minutes.

    I have a PHP site on a shared host (PHP version: 5.3.3-7.1+hw2). The session variables (e.g.: $_SESSION["some_variable"]) usually time out too fast (under 5 minutes). On the local test server (PHP 5.4.10) there is no problem. The hosting tech support guys are no help. phphinfo (below) shows...

    QUERY SPEED: IN vs. NOT IN

    I've got to update records in a table containing about 210,000 records and I'm curious if different versions of the query will make much difference in the time it takes to execute. Specifically, is it better to use IN with a subquery that returns a large recordset or NOT IN with a subquery...

    CSS Menu: Need link to work when over <li>, not just text

    I'm working on an CSS menu but I've hit a couple of problems: 1) I want the links to work and the text color to change when rolling over anywhere in a <li>. RIght now, this only happens if the cursor is over the text. Is there some way to do this with CSS only (no images and no Javascript)? I...

    Update MySQL Query Cache once per day?

    I want queries and their results to cache, but get updated once per day. I was going to use PHP to add a sort of dummy date string to queries, so that they change every day: "start of query WHERE ".date("d") = date("d")." AND rest of query" But I don't want to kludge all my queries. There...

    Japanese characters display incorrectly (ASP, MySQL5)

    I've got an ASP page that retrieves and displays text from a MySQL5 DB. The text is in English and Japanese. Works fine on the production server. On the development server the Japanese displays as gibberish (E.g., €šã‚‚ç´?å¾—ã?®å“?ã?žã‚?ã?ˆã?¨ï¼“æ‹?å ?ã??ã‚?ã). The page uses the same connection...

    Loading CSS Style Sheet with XMLHTTP is erratic

    I'm using XMLHTTP to load the output of an ASP page that contains dynamically created CSS. The CSS modifies existing CSS that is imported to the head section via @import. The ASP page gets data from a MySQL database on a different host. JavaScript is the only scripting language available in the...

    MAMP Apache virtual directories not working for PHP

    I am using MAMP (version 1.7) to test PHP sites locally. I set up an alias in the Apache http.conf file. It works properly when I am browsing the directories, but includes in my PHP files don't work. E.g., if I set an alias like this Alias /mysite.com/website/aliasfolder/...

    Virtual directories for multiple sites with common code?

    I have several PHP sites which use common code (about 90% of the code is the same). All the sites are hosted on a dedicated Windows server. Is there any reason I can't put the common code in a single directory and then use virtual directories in each site to access the code? If so, where...

    session_start() error: No such file or directory

    My customer's host was bought out and the site was transferred to a new server. Since then, most of the time I get the following server error when session_start() is on the top of certain pages (this does not happen on all pages, and it does not happen every time on the affected pages)...

    Hash (#) symbol for commenting, or . . . ?

    Recently a hosting company tech who was trying to fix a server issue changed the code on one of my pages (without permission and without telling me!) from session_start() to #session_start() This change did not produce an error, and the effect seemed to be the same as commenting out the line...

    Is it possible to get bi-weekly subtotals using SQL?

    I have a table of dated invoices. I would like to display bi-weekly sub-totals of invoice amounts. E.g.: 1/1/9 - 1/14/9 $500 1/15/9 - 1/28/9 $392 etc. The starting date (1/1/9 in the example) is variable. Is this possible with a SQL query? Or, will I have to do the summing with, say...

    ASP session variable security question

    I was told by an MS engineer that every time the browser connects to the server the session variables are sent to the server from the browser (well, actually references to the session variables) and that the way to prevent session hijacking is to force an SSL connection at all times. So, I am...

    While Wend vs. Do While Loop

    Am I correct that vbScript does not have a command for exiting a While Wend loop? Should I use a Do While Loop instead if I want to have an exit condition? Is there any functional difference that I should be aware of? I'm looping through record sets like this: While NOT rsSomeData.EOF . . ...
