• In PHP how do you format a number as currency handling cases such as 10 cents equaling "$.1";

  - by stormist

  I currently do: $totalBill = number_format($totalBill, 2); $totalBill = '$'.$totalBill; This does not handle cases though where the total is say 10 cents. It returns "$0.1" which I do not want. Does anyone have a better way?

• C++: Enum or #define

  - by sub

  I'm building a toy interpreter and I have implemented a token class which holds the token type and value. The token type is usually an integer, but how should I abstract the int's? What would be the better idea: // #defines #define T_NEWLINE 1; #define T_STRING 2; #define T_BLAH 3; /** * Or... */ // enum enum TokenTypes { t_newline, t_string, t_blah };

• If you knew then what you know now, what language(s) will you start learning first?

  - by John

  I will probably start with C and then Lisp. Although I started programming in C, I did not program in it as much as I want. It's fun working with the low level stuff. Learning C helped me a lot when I started working. I've only started learning Lisp now and I found it amazing that the concepts it supported from the very start are still very relevant today. Well I think it's better late than never.

• Jquery live() vs delegate()

  - by PeeHaa

  I've read some posts here and on the web about the differences of live() and delegate(). However I haven't found the answer I'm looking for (if this is a dupe please tell me). I know the difference between live and delegate is that live can not be used in a chain. As I also read somewhere delegate is in some case faster (better performance). So I am wondering is there a situation where you would use live instead of delegate?

• Sending multiple checkbox options

  - by Grunje_D_D

  Hi, I'm creating a used cars website (written in PHP), and I'm stuck on sending advanced search options from form. I have more than 30 of them and I wonder if it's possible, and how, to send them in one variable (for example &options=1,2,3,5,6,10 or some other way..). Also I've heard that this is possible with "bitwise" but I don't have a clue how to do that. Or if someone have a better idea, please let me know. Thanx

• empty() doesn't work with codeigniter input class

  - by BabyAzerty

  This is really weird. Whenever I call something like if(empty($this->input->post("foo")){//blabla} The whole PHP is "down" and I get a blank page from the website (even when I don't pass through this empty(input) line). I know this is not the right method and it is stupid, I change the code to if(!$this->input->post("foo")){//blabla} Better I guess ? Seriously, how come the empty(input) breaks down the entire PHP page ? (I can't get any echo "something").

• Namespace and class conflict(?)

  - by dan gibson

  This is a bad title for the question, but I'm not quite sure of a better one. I have a namespace called Globals with a class X in it. I also have a class called Globals. When I try to access Globals.X.StaticMember it tries to access the class Globals.X and complains that X doesn't exist. How do I reference the namespace Globals - ie ::Globals.X.StaticMember (:: doesn't compile).

  - by Rosarch

  I have a WCHAR[], a wstringstream, and an arbitrary section of the WCHAR[] that I want to copy into the wstringstream. What is the best way to do this? It seems that there must be a better way than this: for (int i = start; i < start + length; i++) { wszStringStream << wchr[i]; }

• SQLite FTS3 sumulate LIKE somestrin%

  - by alex

  I'm writing a dictionary app and need to do the usual word suggesting while typing. LIKE somestrin% is rather slow (~1300ms on a ~100k row table) so I've turned to FTS3. Problem is, I haven't found a sane way to search from the beginning of a string. Now I'm performing a query like SELECT word, offsets(entries) FROM entries WHERE word MATCH '"chicken *"'; , then parse the offsets string in code. Are there any better options?

• Should I use "return;" after a header()?

  - by Scarface

  Quick question, I noticed that on some of my header directors I was getting some lag while the header processed. Is using return standard after using headers? Also if you use a header on pages you don't want directly accessed, such as processing pages will return; stop that processing even if the page is not directly accessed? IF return is a good idea would it be better to use exit()?
