It disappeared after the upgrade to 1.1.4. I seriously don't know what's taking them so long to install the modification again.

Actually, I didn't even notice that. I just copied the method verbatim from one of his classes. I certainly didn't mean to do so.

Why would you choose a third-party bundle to the package manager in your distribution. Setting up a LAMP in Debian/Ubuntu is as simple as aptitude install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server-5.0 (as root). It'll sort out all dependencies for you and the packages will update along with the rest of your system.

Re. 1: You'd have to figure out what the Complex class is. Apparently he thinks that it should have it's own getter and setter methods. Re. 2: Doing self::$instance->something instead of $this->something would in this case be the same seeing as self::$instance === $this in this case. Re. 3: It depends on whether you need it done each time you get the instance or the first time you get the instance (i.e. when it's created). Also, I'd modify your MP_base_Registry class to look like this: <?php abstract class MP_base_Registry{ protected static $instance; static public function getInstance(){ if(!self::$instance){ session_start(); self::$instance = new self(); } return self::$instance; } private final function __construct(){} abstract protected function get($key); abstract protected function set($key, $value); } ?> Then you can always override the getInstance() method in child classes if you need specialized behavior.

lol. ssh phpfreaks.com 'echo "RewriteRule ^/forums/index\.php/topic,190299\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.html$ http://youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 [R,L]" >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf' :-\

phpfreaks.com does will do. I think it's an excellent framework - the best available for PHP.

You could just setup a password for the config pages.

Has anyone noticed that the "show user's topics" link has disappeared? Where did it go?

I believe he wish to pay tutorial authors for the purpose of publishing the tutorials, not for using them himself.

I think you're trying too hard to become good. Memorizing a lot of library functions (most of which you're never going to use) will just be a waste of time. Sure, you should have a basic knowledge of the most common ones, like the ones dealing with arrays, strings, database connectivity (use PDO for that by the way) and such. Learning what hw_GetChildCollObj() does is a waste of time unless you're sure you need to use Hyperwave (whatever that is). Make sure you read the Language Reference (many topics in the help forum would never have been created if the poster had read this particular chapter), Security and Features chapters of the manual. Reading that you'll learn about the syntax and roughly what PHP is capable of doing. Everything else can be postponed until you need it. Find yourself needing to examine the contents of a rar file? Fine, then read about the rar functions in the function reference of the manual. You need to get an idea of how to do things. You need to say "I am going to do x and for that doing y would probably be the best approach. In order to do y I'll need to use z, a and b." Then you go check the manual where z, a, b are covered. You also need to know a bit about security, but it's not really that hard. Just filter data coming from another place when it's going into your system (e.g. into a database) and when it's leaving your system (e.g. when you print it to the screen). Doing that will eliminate the vast amount of threats you might encounter.

What's a fake tutorial writer?

It might be a stupid question, but are you sure you're editing the correct php.ini file and did you restart Apache after editing it?

The only difference between using DMZ and port forwarding on a specific port (80 in this instance) is that DMZ opens all ports. Technically speaking DMZ is port forwarding.

You need to know your external IP. You can see it if you go to whatismyip.com. You also need to ensure that the routers are forwarding the traffic on port 80 to your computer and you need to ensure that there is not any software firewall on your computer which interferes with it.

No, US/UK laws do only apply within US/UK territory. The same goes for all other national laws. Also see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_parties_to_international_copyright_treaties

Then you might as well just download it yourself and save the 2 bucks.

Even though there is multitude of ways you can organize your files, I'd recommend having a single index.php file which is stored within the document root. That file would then include files which are below the document root. If it isn't a file that should be directly accessed by the client, then there is no point in storing it a publicly accessible place.

This doesn't sound particularly complicated, so coding it from scratch wouldn't be a problem in this instance.

Which country do you live in?

Oh... my bad.

First of all, PHP functions are case-insensitive, so whether he does mysql_Query() or mysql_query() doesn't matter. The reason why it isn't working is because that function returns a resource, so when you print it to the screen it will show the resource id. To get the actual results of a query you'll have to one of the mysql_fetch_*() functions.

What are the expected and actual results?

When I installed Safari I opted to not have their updating software installed. I remembered it as being quite intrusive and extremely annoying.

It means that scripts using legacy extensions for database connectivity will not work with default PHP6 installations. This can be solved by using PDO or by installing the extensions from PECL. Using PDO also has the benefit of being easily able to switch between various DMBS as long as you're not using vendor specific SQL.

I don't know if you're one of the people I've discussed the usage of singletons with, but this clearly shows how unneeded usage of the singleton pattern can transform from what seemed to be a convenience to an inconvenience. As you have uncovered yourself, the usage of a singleton has coupled your classes too tightly. Had your "base class" accepted an instance of url_helper passed to it by argument and ensured that it was an url_helper instance by using type hinting, then a child class (e.g. something like my_url_helper like I said above) would have been compatible with your framework/base class. For solving your problem, you could classes which would take an instance of url_helper and use url_helper::get_links() or whatever to generate the breadcrumbs or some other kind of extended functionality based on that of url_helper.
