Ioncube's been cracked too, there's plenty of those out there. But as the OP didn't ask for something bulletproof, it's probably best for his purposes. Zend encoded files require some server configuration like he pointed out, Ioncube can be packaged and distributed to work without making changes to php.ini.

That implementation would only provide for 180 possible salt combinations. Doing the extra stuff to get the g16 thing doesn't change this number. Why not just use something like uniqid()?

Sorry, can't spell. <?php // Load file into Array $original = file('file.txt'); // Remove duplicates $uniques = array_unique($original); $removed = array_diff_key($original, $uniques); // Write back to file file_put_contents('uniques.txt', $uniques); file_put_contents('removed.txt', $removed); ?>

Untested <?php // Load file into Array $original = file('file.txt'); // Remove duplicates $uniques = array_unique($original); $removed = array_diff_key($orginal, $uniques); // Write back to file file_put_contents('uniques.txt', $uniques); file_put_contents('removed.txt', $removed); ?>

That code parses for you? Try <?php $User1HitTime = "2008-10-17 17:34:42"; $Date = "2008-10-17 18:39:43"; If($Att == $_SESSION['Current_User']){ $Date = strtotime($Date) - strtotime($User1HitTime); Echo $Date; If($Date < 2){ $Second = 1; } } ?>

array_unique() maintains key values, so you can find the removed lines by comparing the original array with the new one using array_diff_key()

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM stats GROUP BY DAYNAME(`date`);

I was just really disappointed that no one said "maverick" even once.

From m-w.com: self-taught 1 : having knowledge or skills acquired by one's own efforts without formal instruction <a self–taught musician> 2 : learned by oneself <self–taught knowledge> If you're acquiring knowledge from other people's mistakes and flaws, you're learning from their efforts, not your own. And unless you've never worked in team environment, you've learned from your teammates as well. Regardless of whether or not it was in a formal environment, if you're learning from other people explaining to you how to do something, you don't meet the first part of the definition of self-taught.

I don't think that any of us who have been doing this for awhile are really "self-taught." We may not be going to a college to get information, but we're either asking questions to people who have more experience in an area in forums like this one, reading other people blogs and learning from them, attending conferences and meetups to learn from others, learning from other people on your team, etc. I think that the idea of being self-taught stops when you stop learning just by trial and error or hacking at other people's code, though I suppose some people make a living doing just that. But typically, at some point, you learn to ask the right questions, where and who to ask those questions, and start seeking guidance and education from others.

Have you tried mysql_set_charset()? Also, if you're doing any string manipulation functions with PHP after you retrieve the data, a lot of them aren't unicode compatible.

Per Google/YouTube for your monitor - turn off RTA on the monitor settings. Other possible issues: Make sure you're using the native refresh rate too May not apply in your case since you said you had the issue before, but the 8800 GTS can be a power hungry guy- make sure your power supply can handle it.

Have you taken a look at Amazon S3 yet? For the 10GB you need now, assuming that it's mostly being used as an archive, with transfer costs, it'll be less than $3/month. And at $.15/GB for storage, you'll hopefully be profitable long before those costs become an issue.

You can also switch to storing it on a cloud storage system, like Amazon's S3 or Softlayer's CDN. These options are nice if you're just starting out and need one low cost setup that can grow with you.

Also, you can't do a file upload with a regular AJAX call. You need to add an iframe somewhere and do it from there.

Make sure you set the character coding of the table you're storing the info is as UTF8 as well. CREATE TABLE....DEFAULT CHARSET = utf8;

I found one that set a new record for me- from a government agency no less. When will people learn... Position: Web Programmer Requirements: Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology or a related field and 4 to 6 years of related professional experience; or any combination of education and experience that provides the applicant with the knowledge, skills and abilities required performing the job. This position requires solid knowledge of programming languages and technologies upon which Metro systems are based: ColdFusion MX 7-8.x in a Linux environment, Oracle 9.x (triggers, indexes, stored procedures, database design, etc.), PostgreSQL, MYSQL, HTML/xHTML/CSS, JavaScript/ DHTML, XML, XSL, Fusebox 4. The following knowledge is helpful: ASP,PHP,.NET, XSLT, Java, User Interface Design, and technical writing skills.

Found a few SQL injection spots in your app. Anywhere you're putting an unquoted value, like a number, into your SQL query, the method you're using to sanitize won't do anything. addslashes() is only designed to prevent people from breaking out of a quoted string, and they're already out at that point. Sanitize user inputted numbers using intval() or quote them where appropriate in your SQL query. These spots should be apparent, but if you need help, PM me if you need some specific spots that you have this issue.
