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 have a string which contains only numbers. Now I want to remove all leading 0s from that string
For example:
input: 000000001230
output: 1230
input: 01000
output: 1000
Is there any function in PHP/Zend for this?
Thanks
I wrote a html scraper to scrape my various social identites, so I can make a real time 'biography' website.
However after using php curl_exec, I find that texts that I have quoted, end up being formatted in a weird character set.
ex: "I love dogs" gets formatted to ’I love dogs ’
"I hate cheese" gets formatted to “I hate cheese�
How do I either scrub these characters, or set curl not to format quotes like this.
Also, I have turned off magic_quotes.
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.

Dear all,

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?
Which PHP framework should I choose between ZendFramework or YII?
Points I need to consider:
Performance (assuming an accelerator is used)
Documentation
stability of framework
less to code.

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?

php.ini, my.cnf and httpd.conf default charsets=UTF-8
The website is in swedish lang only.
I have some folders with special chars in them, also some files.
Is there any harm by doing this?
Is it cross-browser safe?
Thanks
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.

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'" );
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?
I have a directory that will be getting updated frequently, I want to display the last four images files uploaded, which match a certain pattern, on my php page.
Is this possible without having to perform a sort on every single image within the directory?
Many thanks!

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?
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 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?
