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 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 need to return a JSON encoded response to a flash http get request.

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:

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 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'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)?
