What html is it producing?

Well what does your source show when the page renders. Does straight html work? I also don't think you need the &feature=feedu

<?php $string='this is a sentence with a load of [great, clever, textual] variables '; if(preg_match("/[[](.*)[]]/", $string, $matches)){ $pieces = explode(", ", $matches[0]); foreach ($pieces as $value) { $replace = array( '[', ']' ); $value = str_replace($replace,'',$value); echo "this is a sentence with a load of $value variables.<br>"; } } else{ print "no matches found"; } ?> This works but I am guessing there is a more efficient way to not include the [] without doing a str_replace.

I am not an authority on preg_match but this should be damn close to what you want. if(preg_match('#\[[^)]+\]#', $string, $matches)){ $pieces = explode(", ", $matches[0]); foreach ($pieces as $value) { echo "this is a sentence with a load of $value variables.\n"; } } else{ print "no matches found"; }

If you are on a linux server, sed is your friend. http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html

I am not sure if this will fix your problem or not. I never tried this: usermod -G users www-data Then add the user option to fstab /dev/sda1 /foo/foo ext3 user,noauto,umask=0002 0 0 /foo/foo needs to change to your mount point and ext3 may not be the file system type. And /dev/sda1 may not be your device.

Now that I think about it, giving Apache server the right to mount and unmount is sorta dumb. I recommend setting up a cron job.

Not really. If you can mount stuff, your user name and root can mount that does not mean www-data can mount.

What are you looking to do with this? Is this for sorting like the title suggests?

? my sql close seems to be hanging out there. ?>">Read more...</a></p></table>'; mysql_close(); } } else { $dynamicList = "There aren't any articles yet, submit one today!"; } ?>

I am not that familiar with running this on Windows but are you sure MySQL is running?

Have you tried if (!isset($_POST['email']))

I have currently developed a script that consumes a web service. It is running real slow. I think this is due to the web service provider. How do I diagnose/measure this?

Sorry should have checked it first. His callback "option" breaks its ability to work. replace this: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('span.countdown').countdown({seconds: 30,window.location.replace("visit.php")}); }); </script> with the following: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('#countdown').countdown({seconds: 5}) setTimeout(function() { window.location.href = "visit.php"; }, 5000); }); </script> no his seconds are 5 which equals the 5000 milliseconds in the setTimeout. I just tested this and it works.

paste this in a file named jquery.countdown.js /** * jQuery's Countdown Plugin * * display a countdown effect at given seconds, check out the following website for further information: * http://heartstringz.net/blog/posts/show/jquery-countdown-plugin * * @author Felix Ding * @version 0.1 * @copyright Copyright(c) 2008.

I put all javascript on the bottom of the page per the Jquery cookbooks suggestion. <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('span.countdown').countdown({seconds: 30,window.location.replace("visit.php")}); }); </script> replace 30 with however long you want. keep this echo 'You\'ll be redirected in <span id="countdown"></span> secs. If not, click <a href="visit.php">here</a></div>.'; this should do everything for you

I would suggest not using a separate webpage for the countdown, I am not sure why you would do that, when you can use the same javascript on the same page. I would recommend you just use this jquery plugin and make it much easier. http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jquery-countdown echo 'You\'ll be redirected in <span id="countdown"></span> secs. If not, click <a href="visit.php">here</a></div>.';

get timestamp for your day, using string to time. subtract current time. multiply results to get your answer.

I have a soap client written up that works well on small requests, but on large ones I face out of memory issues. I want to be able to write the response directly to a file as an xml document, so I can use something like xpath. When I try this even on small responses it seems to go into a loop: $infile = $client->Retrieve($criteria); $outfile = fopen('./sites/all/modules/cvent/data.txt', 'w'); while (!feof($infile)) { fwrite($outfile, fread($infile, 2048)); } how can I put the data into a file straight from the response and still be economical on memory?
