Hmm... I can't remember when I last made HTML comments for anything besides temporarily removing stuff.

I heard about a such situation a while ago. I'll see if I can find the link and possibly the outcome as well.

Why would you want to do that? What do you hope to gain?

Just use prepared statements using either MySQLi or PDO.

It doesn't.

I wrote a script that removes duplicate news rows in the database. It removed 322 rows. Note to admins: That script is called remove_duplicate_news.php in /root.

Damn. Stupid syndication script must have broken again. Stupid crap. Oh well, I've disabled the cron job for now. I'll have to look into the bug later.

I've got a VPS. A dedicated server would be overkill for my needs.

That's quite a surprise to me. As I said, it is something I would expect from any web host. Then again, I've never purchased shared hosting.

I would expect all webhosts to have that.

That doesn't necessarily mean you cannot write a TDD primer.

What do you mean with "doing .htaccess on a folder"? .htaccess files just contain Apache configuration directives. Not only does it have nothing to do with PHP whatsoever, but it can all be looked up in the Apache documentation.

Here is yet another alternative: http://devzone.zend.com/article/4571-Fetching-multiple-random-rows-from-a-database

A sub query returns a result, like all queries do, and you can use that result as a variable in your query. That's it, essentially.

A login script is essentially so simple that it's not even worth dedicating a tutorial for that. Stuff involved is essentially form processing, database access and sessions/cookies. We have a tutorial for sessions and cookies and we have one for database access and another one focusing on joins and unions. Then you have form processing, but that's fairly straightforward. You simply read from the $_GET or $_POST superglobal. You might also be interested in this blog post that talks about breaking a script/application down into logical elements the same way I just did.

I'll sticky this for further reference and in case other people might know books that people might find useful.

I can't remember when I've last used FTP. I always use SSH, SCP and SVN.

I've read some of SitePoint's Simply JavaScript. At the time I read it I found it pretty good.

[quote author=lukkyjay link=topic=119433.msg728404#msg728404 date=1193718287] I'm just now starting to learn php for a project on my own site.  I don't understand how a WYSIWYG would work with php, but that would be awesome if it were actually possible.  Can you get specific about the best WYSIWYG for a beginner? [/quote] WYSIWYG is for HTML only. Best is a matter of personal preference and hence the reason why this and [url=http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,54859.0.html]this[/url] topic are created.
