Ok, nevermind...  I reverted to v5.1.6, and all is fine now. :)  Well, except I found out v5.1.6 no longer has the money_format() function.  Grrr....

I definately go CSS these days.  What used to take me an hour to do with HTML tables now only takes a couple minutes. :) Matt

Hey Richard, Why not just put an "is_locked TINYINT(1) NOT NULL" column in your mySQL database?  When an upload begins, it first checks that value, and gives an error if it's 1.  Otherwise, it'll set the value to 1 locking out all other users, and once the upload is complete, puts it back to 0. Matt

I just installed PHP v5.2 on my local comp, and found out the PHP team was nice enough to create a date_format() function. :) Arghh...  I have my own date_format() function, it's probably in the system several thousand times in many different files, and doing a quick search and replace won't really work because all development was to flow through a Windows app I created.  Just so it maintains what files were changed, what to include with an upgrade, etc. Anyway, so is there any way I can just un-declare this new date_format() function, and use mine instead? Thanks alot, Matt

Well geez, I don't know... I was just trying to help. I could see if I actually had some type of business or service to promote, but I don't right now. I had to write the thing anyway, and decided it was a useful little utility that might be able to help some fellow developers out. Besides, it only took me a few hours to write, and any decent developer could do it themselves. Anyway, mods, feel free to remove the post if it's actually a big deal. Sorry for trying to help. :) Matt

Well, I don't know... Where am I supposed to post it? The forum name is "PHP Help". I'm trying to help. :) Matt

Hey guys, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this here or not, but can't see the harm. I was working on some debugging features for an existing program, and thought this might come in handy for other developers, so I turned it into a stand alone script and thought I'd make it available free of charge. :) Anyway, quick demo and download available at: [a href=\"http://www.rdframe.com/log_viewer/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.rdframe.com/log_viewer/[/a] The script itself isn't anything too special, but it is already done, so hopefully someone out there will find it useful. It's perfect if you're working with a larger PHP program, and don't exactly understand the flow. Hope it helps someone out there. Matt

Nevermind, got it solved from the boys over at SitePoint. If anyone else ever needs something like this, check out the register_shutdown_function() in PHP. It's exactly what I was looking for. :) Matt

Alright, so it's not supported by PHP. I guess that's why I couldn't find it in the manual. :D Thanks for your time guys. I'll figure something else out. Matt

I'd personally always go with the second one, just for the sake of style. [code] $message = "Hello, and welcome to my web site\n"; $message .= "And here is the second line of my message\n"; $message .= "And the third line.\n"; [/code]

Well, just put a "\n" where ever you need it in the string. For example: [code]$message = $line1 . "\n" . $line2;[/code] But from what you explain, you're looking to word wrap messages? Just use the wordwrap() feature of PHP: [code]$message = wordwrap($message);[/code] That will split up the message into lines of 75 characters each. Hope that helps, Matt

Is there any way in PHP to run some code at the end of every execution? I don't mean just placing the code at the bottom of the script, because that won't work with this. For example, in Perl there's the BEGIN { } and END { } constructs. Every time that Perl program finishes execution, whatever code is between END { } will be ran. For example, if exit() is called somewhere in the PHP program, I still want a small block of code to be executed. Is there any way to do this in PHP? I looked through the manual, but couldn't find anything. Or is this not supported by PHP? Thanks, Matt

Hi everyone, I've been working on a large software project for a good while now, and a preview is available at [a href=\"http://www.rdframe.com/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.rdframe.com/[/a]. There's a PHP back-end with a Windows front-end allowing people to easily manage their systems that are powered with the PHP back-end. Anyway, this was always intended to be a commercial software package, but for some reason I've now taken an interest in open source. However, I have basically no experience with open source development. I've only ever done commercial work. The other thing is, I do somehow need to earn money off this project. I was wondering if anyone out there has experience with open source, and would like to have a chat? If you're interested, please add me to Skype with the username: rdframe. Thanks, Matt

Ok, that first attempt at a preview video was pretty pathetic, to say the least. Not sure what I was thinking when I made that video public. Anyway, I just finished a simple one page web site, which contains four small video previews covering the four major aspects of the framework. Check it out: [a href=\"http://www.rdframe.com/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.rdframe.com/[/a] To be blunt, developers can every easily earn a good stream of recurring income from developing modules for the network. You get a 60% royalty every time anyone installs any module that you've developed, and assuming this works well, there'll be a huge number of people using the framework for their online systems. If you're interested in developing modules for the framework, or have any questions at all, please let me know. Either through e-mail at [a href=\"mailto:matt@rdframe.com\"]matt@rdframe.com[/a], or Skype with the username "rdframe Thanks, Matt

Hey guys, I've been working on a new software framework for the past 8 months, and am finally coming close to completion. It's a fairly large system, and seeing as how I'm close to being done, I'm naturally at the point where I'm a little nervous and uncertain about it. I've been involved in the online software industry for well over 5 years, and have a good idea of how it all works. The framework can be used for any type of online system / control panel, is developed in PHP, and also has a large Windows application allowing you to easily manage and customize your online systems. I've created a 23 minute video presentation, giving a preview of it. If you would like, you can download it at: http;//www.rdframe.com/preview.wmv The video isn't that great of quality, and my apoligies for being a little nervous, but it at least got the point across. I'd very much appreciate any feedback you're willing to provide, good or bad. Mods, if it all possible, it'd be very appreciated if you could show some leniency for this thread. I'm just a guy who's been working for 8 months without pay, and the more feedback I can get from this, the better. If any of you have any questions, comments or suggestions, feel free to e-mail me any time at matt@rdframe.com, or chat on Skype with the username "rdframe". Any feedback would be great. Thanks, Matt
