  • What is the worst programming mistake you have made?

    - by George Edison
    Most of us are not perfect. (Well, except Jon Skeet) Have you made a terrible mistake that you would like to share? The idea is that we could all learn from our mistakes and by collecting them together here, we can avoid some common ones and discover some no-so-common ones we may have overlooked. Oh, and this question is CW, of course. Edit: This question is different than http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1928002/what-is-the-worst-programming-mistake-you-have-ever-seen because we are sharing our own mistakes. Edit again: And this one http://stackoverflow.com/questions/130965/what-is-the-worst-code-youve-ever-written is different too - it asks for code. My question does not have that restriction!

  • Completely bizarre PHP behavior.

    - by George Edison
    Boy, this one is really weird. I expect the following code to print 1990, but it prints 1989! $val = '$19.9'; $val = preg_replace('/[^\d.]/','',$val); $val = intval($val * 100); echo $val; Why on earth is this happening? Edit: and this code: $val = '$19.9'; $val = preg_replace('/[^\d.]/','',$val); echo $val . "<br>"; $val = $val * 100; echo $val . "<br>"; $val = intval($val); echo $val; Prints: 19.9 1990 1989 Why does intval(1990) equal 1989???

  • SharePoint Virtual Directories Sitemap

    - by Edison
    I have created and asp.net web site utilizing a web.sitemap file to help with navigation. The site needs to be deployed within a virtual directory inside of our SharePoint intranet site. The problem that I am running in to is that when I request the SiteMap.CurrentNode property, it is returning information from SharePoint's sitemap. Specifically, when i try to get my sitemap's title or description, I am getting information from SharePoint. I have tried re-naming my sitemap and declaring a new Sitemap provider within the web.config. After creating the new sitemap provider and requesting the SiteMap.currentNode, I receive an error message saying that it can't find the web.sitemap file. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do you draw a line from one corner of the stage to the other?

    - by George Edison
    I am completely perplexed. I asked this question and it (any mentioned solution) doesn't seem to be working at all. All I want is to draw a line from one corner to the other. Here again is the link to the SWF file I have (it's embedded in an HTML document): test.html Here is the source: package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event; public class Main extends Sprite { public function Main():void { if (stage) init(); else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init); } private function init(e:Event = null):void { removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init); // entry point graphics.clear(); graphics.lineStyle(10, 0x000000); graphics.moveTo(0, 0); graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight); } } } It just doesn't work! The line goes from somewhere offscreen to about the middle of the stage. What on earth am I doing wrong?

  • How come BraceMatch() doesn't work when a lexer is set in wxStyledTextCtrl?

    - by George Edison
    I have the following chunk of C++ code that gets called when } is pressed: int iCurPos = GetCurrentPos(); InsertText(iCurPos,wxT("}")); int iPos = BraceMatch(iCurPos); This works fine (iPos gets the position of the matching brace) except when I call SetLexer(...) beforehand. Then it returns -1? How can I get it to work? Edit: I should point out that the above code is being called from the EVT_KEY_DOWN handler in a wxStyledTextCtrl-derived class.

  • How do you ensure a <td> is exactly 200px tall?

    - by George Edison
    I have a table with an image inside: <table style="border: 3px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); width: 800px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-collapse: collapse;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"><img style="width: 800px; height: 200px; border: 0px;" alt="Logo" src="logo.png"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> No matter what I do, there is still a little sliver of white at the bottom of the image. A quick check with Chrome's Inspector reveals that the td has a height of 204px! How can I force the td to be the same height as the image? As you can see above, I've tried all sorts of things...

  • How come jQuery can't remove this element?

    - by George Edison
    I have a table like this: <table id='inventory_table'> <tr id='no_items_avail'> <td> There are no items in the database. </td> </tr> </table> And I want to get rid of it with jQuery like this: $('#inventory_table tbody tr#no_items_avail').remove(); However it doesn't seem to be working at all. What am I doing wrong? Edit: Also, the row above was originally inserted into the DOM with another jQuery call: $('#inventory_table tbody').append("<tr id='no_items_avail'....... If that helps. And, running: alert($('#no_items_avail').text()); yields "There are no items in the database." as expected.

  • Does this PHP function protect against SQL injection?

    - by George Edison
    I have this function I'm using and I want to be sure that it fully protects against SQL injection attacks: function MakeSafeForQuery($string) { // replace all of the quote // chars by their escape sequence $ret = str_replace("\\","\\\\",$string); $ret = str_replace("'","\\'",$ret); $ret = str_replace("\"","\\\"",$ret); return $ret; } Am I missing anything serious?

  • Why are $_POST variables getting escaped in PHP?

    - by George Edison
    When my PHP script receives data from an AJAX POST request, the $_POST variables are escaped. The really strange thing is that this only happens on my production server (running PHP 5.2.12 on Linux) and not on my local server (running PHP 5.3.1 on Windows). Here is the AJAX code: var pageRequest = false; if(window.XMLHttpRequest) pageRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); else if(window.ActiveXObject) pageRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); pageRequest.onreadystatechange = function() { } var q_str = 'data=' + " ' "; pageRequest.open('POST','unnamed_page.php',true); pageRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); pageRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-length", q_str.length); pageRequest.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close"); pageRequest.send(q_str); Is there any reason this is happening? And how should I fix this so that it works on both servers?

  • How can I make one Code::Blocks project dependent on another?

    - by George Edison
    I have a workspace with two projects in it. One is a static library (we'll call it Project A). The other is a console app that links with the static library (we'll call it Project B). I went to Project B's properties and checked off Project A as a dependency of Project B. So I make a change to a file in Project A and rebuild Project B. It correctly discovers the changes to the file in Project A and rebuilds Project A. However, when it gets to Project B it says: Target is up to date. Nothing to be done. How can I tell it to run the linker everytime Project A is changed?

  • How come this image won't resize to fit the sprite?

    - by George Edison
    I have this snippet of ActionScript code that is supposed to resize an image to fit the sprite: package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.Bitmap; import flash.events.Event; public class Main extends Sprite { [Embed(source = 'img.png')] private var TheImage:Class; public static const TheImageWidth:Number = 1300; public static const TheImageHeight:Number = 1300; public function Main():void { if (stage) init(); else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init); } private function init(e:Event = null):void { removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init); // entry point var image:Bitmap = new TheImage(); addChild(image); image.scaleX = width / TheImageWidth; image.scaleY = height / TheImageHeight; } } } Why isn't it working?

  • How come checkbox state is not always passed along to PHP script?

    - by George Edison
    I have an HTML form: <form action='process.php' method='post'> <input type='checkbox' name='check_box_1' /> Check me!<br> </form> Here is a section from the PHP script process.php: echo (isset($_POST['check_box_1']))?'Set':'Not set'; The output of the script when the checkbox is set is Set But when the checkbox is not set, the output is: Not set Why is this? This seems like a very poor design because my PHP script checks a number of $_POST variables to make sure they were passed along to the script. When the $_POST['check_box_1'] value is not set, then how do I know whether the script failed to pass along the value or the checkbox was just not set?
