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)?

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.
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'" );
How can I convert a COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime() to a unix time stamp or more specifically I want to convert the value so I can use it in PHP with the date() function?
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

What is the best way to build a mySQL & PHP search?

Field value = "One: Stop Shop:
They search:
One Shop Stop

What is the best way to build a smart search like this?

Suppose you have a string: "SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE column1 = :var1 AND column2 = :var2"
Now, how do I get an array with all the variables like so:
Array
(
[0] => :var1
[1] => :var2
)
I've tried it with PHP's preg_match_all, but I struggle with the regex.
$varcount = preg_match_all("/ :.+ /", $sql, $out);
I am thinking about setting the
php.ini, my.cnf and httpd.conf default charsets=UTF-8

Is there any harm by doing this?
Is it cross-browser safe?
Thanks
