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 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?
Hi All,
Using Reflection in PHP I can dynamically create a object like so
$target = 'core_domain_Person';
$reflect = new ReflectionClass($target);
$obj = $reflect->newInstance();
I would like to replicate this same concept in JavaScript is there a way to do this out of the box? Or is there a way to replicate what Reflection is doing?
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'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 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.

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'" );
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
