I tried this but only got a syntax error:
<?php
$a = true;
$str = <<< EOF
{$a ? 1 : 2}
EOF;
echo $str;
Is it possible to use such kind of conditional statement inside heredoc?
Traits have been one of the biggest additions for PHP 5.4. I know the synatax and understand the idea behind traits, like horizontal code re-usage for common stuff like logging, security, caching etc.
However, I still dont know yet how I would make use of traits in my projects.
Are there any open source projects that already use traits? Any good articles/reading material on how to structure architectures using traits?

I am currently building a site and all the books I have read on PHP so far are just on functionality and not much on security. Is there a book that deals specifically with making your code/site secure? I don't want to go public and the next day have all my code changed or my database erased by SQL injection.
thanks
Money, Staff, Skill and preference to open source or commercial is neutral. Lets take the best of the best programmers (for arguments sake) and think about this:
What will perform better overall:
PHP & MySQL
or
ASP.Net & Microsoft SQL
(I don't want biased answers, just
looking for Performance, and Speed).
Hi,
I have a PHP script that runs database queries. Now, if a query fails, should I trigger an error or throw an exception? I noticed that if I do the latter, the script execution will stop after facing the exception.
My code is as follows:
if (!$this->connection[0]->query($this->query))
throw new Exception($this->connection[0]->error);
What are the pros and cons of using exceptions for this kind of cases (failed queries)?
I have a step 1 page, and a step 2 page. I want to take the information from step 1 page, then step 2 page, and save as session information (which i have already done). Once this information is all gathered i then want to be able to submit it to another php page using HTTP POST.
I am new to coding and would just like to know a bit more about frameworks. How does a framework help you code and what exactly is it? Such as Zend for php.
I'm using WordPress as a CMS, and I want to extend one of its classes without having to inherit from another class; i.e. I simply want to "add" more methods to that class:
class A {
function do_a() {
echo 'a';
}
}
then:
function insert_this_function_into_class_A() {
echo 'b';
}
(some way of inserting the latter into A class)
and:
A::insert_this_function_into_class_A(); # b
Is this even possible in tenacious PHP?
I have a PHP script on a webserver.
This file is invoked via the shell by another program but it could still be run by the webserver in response to an HTTP request.
How can the script determine the way it was invoked?
Dear all,
I want to create multiple thumbnails using GD library in php, and I already have a script to do this, the question is what is better for me .. is it better to create thumbnail on the fly? or create a physical file on my server each time I want a thumb?? and Why?
Please, consider time consuming and storage capacity and other disadvantages for both
In some languages (ColdFusion comes to mind), you can run a query on the result set from a previous query. Is it possible to do something like that in php (with MySQL as the database)?
I sort of want to do:
$rs1 = do_query( "SELECT * FROM animals WHERE type = 'fish'" );
$rs2 = do_query( "SELECT * FROM rs1 WHERE name = 'trout'" );
Hi,
I have 5 textfields for user input in a form namely:
username1, username2, username3, username4 and username5
I would like to know how should I write my php code such that I will be able to check if there is any duplicates between the 5 textfields during POST?
I can only think of comparing (username1 !== username2) and so on, but I think there should be simpler way to do it right? How should I be able to do it?
Thank you very much.
I need to return a JSON encoded response to a flash http get request.
In ASP.NET, I do this with a ASHX handler.
What's the PHP equivalent ?
I mean in order that I only get JSON back, and not the <html> etc.

I am using combination of php+jQuery for captcha validation and later sending mails and do other stuff. The pseudo code is something like this:
captcha_code = jQuery.post(.....execute captcha script and get status)
if(captcha_code == "correct"){
send_mail_using_php_script;
}
Now I have no idea whether spammers can directly execute the "send_mail_using_php_script". Do they? If yes, then shall I move captcha validation in send_mail_using_php_script to make it more safer? Is there any other safer method?

I am trying to set up automated .htaccess updating. This clearly needs to be as secure as possible, however right now the best I can do file permission-wise is 666.
What can I do to setup either my server or php code so that my script's fwrite() command will work with 644 or better? For instance is there a way to set my script(s) to run as owner?
Ok, say I have a page with the url: URL.com/checkout/completed, how can I setup an if statemet to perform:

<else>
No content
</if>
Is there a way? A simple way, my php/smarty-fu lacks.. A lot.
Thanks.
What is the best way to build a mySQL & PHP search?
I am currently using things like
%term%
I want it to be able to find the result even if they spell it slightly wrong, for example:
Field value = "One: Stop Shop:
They search:
One Shop Stop
OR
One Stop Shop
Etc.. I want a really smart search so they find the information even if they don't search the exact thing.
What is the best way to build a smart search like this?
