I need read in and parse data from a third party website which sends XML data. All of this needs to be done server side.
What is the best way to do this using PHP?
I want to calculate the number of Tweets of a Twitter Search, and a countup. Just like GigaTweet. How can I calculate this using PHP and the Twitter API?
So I was reading about PHP namespaces, and I realized that in versions earlier than 5.3, if you write
namespace MyNamespace
you get a parse error.
Is there any way to avoid this i.e. make namespaces backwards-compatible, so the code doesn't simply crash?
Hi
I'm using the following simple PHP proxy script but am getting a sporadic message at the destination site.
I'm thinking that perhaps it may have something to do with the HTTP_REFERER header, although I'm not explicitly defining it.
Can anyone tell me how to explicitly turn off or leave the HTTP_REFERER header blank?
Thanks in advance!
$url = $_GET['path'];
readfile($path);
When I run some php code I've written, I get the following message:
You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to
your MySQL server version for the
right syntax to use near 'condition,
price, name, email) VALUES('Fake
Title', 'Fake Subhead', 'Fake Author'
at line 1
I do not see anything wrong with my syntax, however, which is like:
mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (x1, x2, x3) VALUES('$y1', '$y2', '$y3')");
Any ideas?
I have a website in which I have a several php forms that I would like to fill out with auto generated content (for the purposes of exercising different content the user could submit). I would like to write a client side application that enables me to do so.
Is there any way either using webtoolkit, java script etc of doing this?
Thank all for your help,

I was wondering if the code below is the correct way to use mysqli_real_escape_string() when storing users data in a database.
Here is the PHP & MySQL code.
if (mysqli_num_rows($dbc) == 0) {
$mysqli = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "sitename");
$dbc = mysqli_query($mysqli,"INSERT INTO info (user_id, url)
VALUES ('$user_id', 'mysqli_real_escape_string($url)')");
}
if ($dbc == TRUE) {
$dbc = mysqli_query($mysqli,"UPDATE info
SET url = 'mysqli_real_escape_string($url)'
WHERE user_id = '$user_id'");
I am trying to create an outlook distribution list with php but I am having a hard time finding any resources or instructions on how to do so. Is it even possible to do this?
Hi everyone,
Is_numeric() as well as is_int() returns false if the value is 0. What can i do instead to verify that a specific value is numbers only in PHP?
Are we heading straight for the Regular Expressions camp, or are there some nice, handy feature for this out there already?
Thanks!
I'd like to learn PHP specifically for dealing with security vulnerabilities/exploits.
Could someone recommend a book?
I don't know if I need to learn HTML/CSS/XML/XHTML etc, do I have to learn those too? I don't really plan on designing websites, could anyone help me with this? :P
I'm trying to parse the dmoz content/structures xml files into mysql, but all existing scripts to do this are very old and don't work well. How can I go about opening a large (+1GB) xml file in php for parsing?
I need to run a background PHP script on the server, but it clogs the pipe and chokes and server. How do I limit its resources and allow other tasks to run smoothly along with it.
Will incorporating usleep into the script help?
I have a standard associative array in PHP. what's the simplest way to get the last key in that array?
example:
$foo = array('key1' => 'val1', 'key2' => 'val2', 'key3' => 'val3');
and i would like to get 'key3';
So, I have this url in a string:
http://www.domain.com/something/interesting_part/?somevars&othervars
in PHP, how I can get rid of all but "interesting_part"?

In my .htaccess file I need to turn on the following:
php_flag display_errors On
php_value error_reporting 2147483647
However I only want to do this if my IP is visiting the site.
Any ideas?
Something like...
if (ip == "x.x.x.x") {
php_flag display_errors On
php_value error_reporting 2147483647
}
Need to do this in .htaccess NOT in the PHP thanks!
I recently upgraded to PHP 5.3 and since then I get (sporadic) error messages which indicate Apache (or may be the cleaner of the session files) has no permissions to the folder where the sessions are stored.
This happens randomly and can't be reproduced with exact steps, which led me to guess it is the session cleaner.
Any one has experience with such errors?
Hi!
I think most of us know about the infamous "Headers already sent" error in PHP. Can I check someway if headers already have been sent?
It would be really handy to do such, before going all out with trying to set some SESSION data or similar.
Thanks!
Hi, I'm just wondering how I can retrieve a specific value (only 1 thing will be returned) from a database using php.
My query is
mysql_query("SELECT balance FROM users WHERE username = '". $this->username . "'")
I'm just looking for it to retrieve the data from that row so I can save it directory into a variable.
