I have an array called $times. It is a list of small numbers (15,14,11,9,3,2). These will be user submitted and are supposed to be minutes. As PHP time works on seconds, I would like to multiply each element of my array by 60.
I've been playing around with array_walk and array_map but I can't get those working :S
Thanks.
I am trying to execute a Perl script like so:
/usr/bin/ec2-consistent-snapshot 'vol-dr3131c2'
When the Perl script fails it exits using 'die' and prints out an error message. I can see that error message when executing manually, but I am failing to capture it through PHP.
I tried the following with no success:
exec($command,$output);
echo system($command,$output);
passthru($command);
Any ideas?

Perhaps by compiling a list of common errors or coding style differences PHP coders make when first starting out with Python, we can help to avoid headaches later on. (Or at least I can :).
I'm looking for a list of built in PHP functions that a programmer could use to send an email.
The obvious answer here is mail(), but I'm also looking for a list of functions someone might use to manually open a connection to an MTA, or spawn a process on the local machine which might in turn send an email using sendmail, postfix, etc.
The context here is I want to scan a large, unknown codebase for code that's sending out email (because we already located a call to mail(), and that's not doing it)
I have a php application running on XAMPP but I want to connect to a mysql db running on a remote machine(which is also using XAMPP). The application works fine when I connect to the mysqldb instance on my machine. I have changed the configuration files to point to the remote db and have given the correct credentials as well. But I get access denied error.

Thanks for all answers!
Hi All,
I know how to loop through items of an array using foreach and append a comma, but it's always a pain having to take off the final comma. Is there an easy PHP way of doing it?
$fruit = array('apple', 'banana', 'pear', 'grape');
Ultimately I want
$result = "apple, banana, pear, grape"
So I've read the two related questions for calculating a trend line for a graph, but I'm still lost.
I have an array of xy coordinates, and I want to come up with another array of xy coordinates (can be fewer coordinates) that represent a logarithmic trend line using PHP.
I'm passing these arrays to javascript to plot graphs on the client side.
PHP, Cold Fusion, and ASP (among many others) are usually sold on their strengths. What are their weaknesses? If one were to develop a niche product to handle the things that these products weren't so good at, what should it focus on?
Hi everyone,
I have recently heard a lot of people argue about using PHP testing features like PHPunit and SimpleTest together with their IDE of choice (Eclipse for me). After googling the subject, I have still a hard time understanding the pros and cons of using these testing frameworks to speed up development.
If anyone could explain this for me in a more basic level, I would really appreciate it. I am using PHP5 for the notice.
Thanks a lot!
Hello,
Is there a list of pros-cons for deploying a PHP application on the cloud for AWS or Azure?
Which factors would make AWS a better choice over Azure and Vice-versa?
If anyone has chosen to use, either one instead of the other for a number or reasons i would really want to know why.
regards,
One from here:
$sth->execute(array(':calories' => $calories, ':colour' => $colour));
The other from here:
/*** reassign the variables again ***/
$data = array('animal_id'=>4, 'animal_name' => 'bruce');
/*** execute the prepared statement ***/
$stmt->execute($data);
My question is: :key or key ?
Sorry I don't have the PHP environment here.
I consider myself quite fluent in PHP and am rather familiar with nearly all of the important aspects and uses, as well as its pratfalls. This in mind, I think the major problem in taking on Perl is going to be with the syntax. Aside from this (a minor hindrance, really, as I'm rather sold on the fact that Perl's is far more readable), what are some key differences you think I should make myself aware of prior to taking on the language?
In PHP I'm running a mysql_query that has an ORDER BY clause. I'm then iterating through the results to build an associative array, with the row_id as the key.
Then, I'm calling json_encode on that array and outputting the result.
This page is loaded with AJAX, and defined in a Javascript variable. When I iterate through that Javascript variable, will I still have the order that was returned from the mysql_query?
It seems like I can't use shell_exec or proc_open on my shared server.
The message I get when I try to use it is:
Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/georgee/public_html/admin/email.php on line 4
Are there any alternatives to these functions?
I want a simple form with one text box and a submit button. If a user enters "foobar" into the text box and hits enter, they should be redirected to mysite.com/browse/foobar
Does anyone know how I can do this in php? thanks
I doubt if this is encryption but I can't find a better phrase. I need to pass a long query string like this:
http://test.com/test.php?key=[some_very_loooooooooooooooooooooooong_query_string]
The query string contains NO sensitive information so I'm not really concerned about security in this case. It's just...well, too long and ugly. Is there a library function that can let me encode/encrypt/compress the query string into something similar to the result of a md5() (similar as in, always a 32 character string), but decode/decrypt/decompress-able?
What do you guys do (system/framework wise) to safeguard things like
1) employees writing malicious code to destroy your server
2) employees reading all your database sensitive information
3) generally programmers that have access to your back-end and potential damages that they can do.
Is there any PHP scripts that guards against these, etc.?
