I am REALLY tired I have to type:
$city = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_REQUEST['city']));
$state = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_REQUEST['state']));
ect...
Its like 15 lines of copy and pasted crap everytime I have a form.
Here is my idea - variable contexts.
It would work like this:
define context ":" ($x) {
return mysql_real_escape_string(trim($x));
}
Then, instead of saying:
$city = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_REQUEST['city']));
You could just use:
$:city

That's why I'm also getting a rottweiler too
I was actually thinking about getting one of these: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/caucasianowtcharka.htm
But I figured a rottweiler would be easier to handle, take to the vet, ect.

I am buying a house and want to setup a large camera system so I can see most of the rooms in the house at all times, as well as the perimeter of the house. I was thinking I'd need like 6-8 outdoor night vision cameras, 5-10 room cameras, that don't really need audio.
I could get a complete setup for like $3,000, but I was thinking I might do better to get the main unit off newegg and then add the cameras as needed. Anyone ever set a system up?

Well, I was trying to use the PHP5 cli like the PHP4 cli, where you just typed "php x.php"
I guess they changed it so you have to put "php -f x.php"
But then what does not using the -f parameter do? Just type senselessly and have to reopen command prompt?
-
I run php.exe from the command line (version 5.2). It lets me type, seemingly indefinitely.
Is this used for something? Like, can I type code and then somehow say I'm finished and have the code run?

For jpegs and pngs and gifs I just use imagecreatefrompng, ect.
There isn't a imagecreatefrombmp file though. There is a imagecreatefromwbmp, but that doesn't work with my bitmap, so I'm guessing it is for a different type of file completely.
Does anyone know how to do this? I have a customer who really wants to be able to upload his bitmaps =/

echo ($_POST['number'] % 5 ? '' : "{$_POST['number']} is divisible by 5."); -
I think the days Friday and Monday should be 7 hours. Monday should start an hour later, Friday end an hour sooner.

That sounds about right -- its VERY rare I find myself upset at PHP. ActionScript always pisses me off, but in fairness, it does more than PHP.

if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("select `id` from `backupsystem` where `domain`='$site'")))
Don't think it is a code problem, here is the error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_num_rows() in C:\BackupSystem\upda
teList.php on line 23
-
I'm getting an error that mysql_num_rows and mysql_result are undefined. Whats really weird is that mysql_connect and mysql_select_db are working.
Any idea what would cause it? I'm running it on windows, set my extension directory and uncommented out extension=php_mysql.dll in the php.ini.
Apache 2.0.63
PHP 5.2

$p = $_REQUEST['p']; if($p == 'accommodation') include ("accommodation.php"); else if($p == 'prices') include ("accommodation.php"); else include ("404.php"); -
I still haven't switched to Vista. I use about 15 programs, and so long as most of them continue to work, it doesn't make sense to switch to a slower, buggier, OS.

I use XP 64 and plan of staying with it as long as I can.

?
But I wrote it myself, unless I'm the top of the pyramid?
I just really want to get more people on the system - we don't have a bad customer base right now, but after costs we aren't making that much.
-
No ideas? The system took almost a year to make, I just hate that we get out sold by companies with a worse product but 5 sales guys...
-
Just cheat and use the one I wrote two years ago. Say it is awesome because anyone can change the colors without editing the fla file.

WinRar can, but 99% of the time you get an ISO it needs mounted, just like a girlfriend or a horse.

I have an obituary system that can hook into any website with an external script include, it also has a funeral planning form and a contact form. It's used by like 250 funeral homes right now, but so far my company has generally been sticking it on sites we've done.
I was thinking about either offering it to existing web designers - it's only for funeral websites, but anyone who knows html web design can use it, and the prices on funeral home websites tend to be higher than most other fields.
I was thinking:
- Webdesigner calls funeral home, shows examples of their work and my system, gets a sale.
- Webdesigner get sale and upfront payment, I create the account, they install it on the new site.
- They either pay for a membership to the obituary system, or they leave that up to the funeral home (it works either way, membership unlocks some features)
- Webdesigner gets their money for the site. They are happy they didn't have to code/pay for an obituary system and forms -- I'm happy because another person has the obituary system, which makes money off of memberships and advertising.
Here is an example of the system added to a site:
http://steelandwolfe.com/obituaries.htm
What do you guys think of the idea? I thought of tweaking it and putting it on hotscripts, but it isn't really a script, its a hosted solution -- and I need people to offer it, because funeral directors aren't going to be on hotscripts making their own sites.

Are you meaning they just need to point their domains to my nameserver?
I have a domain that is pointed to my server right now, that I didn't setup in WHM, that doesn't work for some reason. Do I have to set it up in my DNS server, or should the DNS server just resolve all domains to my main IP?
-
I think I have one, ns1.trenttompkins.com and ns2.trenttompkins.com. They are setup by CPanel / WHM, but they work, because that is what I use for my sites.
I just can't find any information about setting up and managing a DNS. I read the "How DNS servers work" on howstuffworks, but it is all conceptual.
Apache has this record already setup in the httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName server.trenttompkins.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs
ServerAdmin root@server.trenttompkins.com
UserDir disable
</VirtualHost>
So it looks like it is set to turn all requests for unknown domains to that? But the DNS just isn't resolving them?
Any idea how I get in and change the DNS?
-
I want to make a CMS that people can go to and it will set them up a site (ie: mycms.com/tibberous)
But I want people to be able to buy domains and point them to their CMS. How can I setup my server so it handles it dynamically? So someone can go in, enter tibberousawesomesite.com, and my server will point tibberousawesomesite.com to mycms.com/tibberous.
-
Do I setup a virtual host that handles all non-named domains? Or how do I set it up?
My server is running WHM / cpanel, which I think screws up httpd.conf edits...
I have the best idea ever! Variable "contexts"!

premiso, your way also works, I just think the other way is cleaner.
Contexts could be used for other stuff too. Like $dollar could be referred to in a 'currency' context, that would automatically return '$'.number_format($x, 2);
or maybe a string could be output in an html context, where html_entities are already applied.
Its really just a short version of a function call.
