Notepad++ or Netbeans depending on what I'm doing.

xmlCon.open("GET","scripts/conHandler.php?a=login,true); Could be that you're missing the closing quote: xmlCon.open("GET","scripts/conHandler.php?a=login",true);

Oh..... I wouldn't call that encapsulation... Prototypes have nothing to do with the term "encapsulation", but I see what you meant.

"OOP in C++ can be a bit confusing (at least it was to me) at first since you don't encapsulate the methods in the class like PHP and Java. " Errr.... What do you mean?

strlen will throw a notice if the variable doesn't exist; empty will not.

You should just be able to make another request making sure to send the cookie stuff along again.

To be blunt, that idea is quite retarded. A DSL filter is designed to cut out DSL signals on the phone line. A cable descrambler (or decoder, what ever you want to call it) is much more complex than that.

What do you mean by it's not working? It serves a different domain? It gives a 500 error? Or what?

It will be harder than you'll think, but as long as you're willing to spend lots of hours going "WTF?!" you'll be fine .

Hrmmmmm odd. I just looked on the manual page for call_user_func_array and for some reason it appears that the array is passed by value. Usually things are passed by value, but they're references until it is edited. This is a ghetto hacked suggested by someone: $params = array('ss', 'stan', 'Stanley'); $tmp = array(); foreach($params as $key => $value) $tmp[$key] = &$params[$key]; call_user_func_array(array($stmt, 'bind_param'), $tmp);

Returning true or false in the context of a webpage means nothing. You could echo 1 or 0 instead and then check the value of data.

There's a million different ways to do what you want to do. Personally I would use a PHP script as a sort of gateway to the files. A script can control access a bit better than Apache can, but it really depends on how detailed you want to allow it to get, or if you want something besides just plain directory listing or a static file list page.

Perhaps I'm having a slow moment, but can you explain again what results you're trying to get? Also, if I understand your schema correctly, it would be better to normalize it more.

mcrypt_decrypt If you don't want to use the MySQL function AES_DECRYPT.
