Basically I just use '' as a null value, which changes some logic I used vs. other languages. for instance, take these values (or non values): false, 0, '', "", null if each is seperaly assigned to a variable the expression always yields the same: if ( $var) { } Which is why, I assume, the === operater was born. Although I've only used that operater maybe once or twice, because I have been used to having my logic not rely on the type of data that is stored. This also leads me to believe that the statement: if ($var === null) {} would be considered illegal or fail no matter what since null is not a value and has no type associated with it.

Of course, it doesn't fail, because null is a value:
<?php $a = null; var_dump($a === null); ?>
Try that. you get "true"
null is a value that represents nothingness, kind of a variable equivalent of the number 0. I know there's been lots of blather about whether null is a value on an intellectual level, but if it wasn't a value, you couldn't assign it to a variable. That's how programming languages work. int is a type, for example. You can't do this:
$a = int;
You can do:
$a = (int) $b;
null is not a type. You can do:
$a = null;
but can't do:
$a = (null) $b;
You have to use the type unset:
$a = (unset) $b;
So, null is a value of type unset in the way that PHP has been designed. The odd thing is that unset() can't be used to create a variable of type unset, the way array() is used to create a variable of type array - this is the only inconsistency.
<?php $a = null; var_dump(is_null($a)); // doesn't throw a warning unset($a); var_dump(is_null($a)); // throws a warning ?>
It doesn't matter much what people think about it, PHP has implemented null as a value, and I actually find that quite useful. It helps to represent the difference between 0 and '' and NULL returned from a database query (yes, mysql supports all three), and also is useful in specifying default values for parameters to a function that can also accept boolean false.

My questions is why does the > perl script execute (and mostly work) but not execute certain pieces of > code when executed from my php page. The odds are that the perl script is running the code. The problem most likely is permissions. The web server generally (and should be) running as a different user. The user has very little permissions to the file system by default. You'll have to fix the permissions on the directoy that the perl script is trying to modify. Curt -- "I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure."

You'll have to add a little more structure to the array.

What PHP function should I use?
date('Ymd') to put it in a YYYYMMDD format. If you want to use date('Y-m-d') then you need to enclose the date string in quotes in your query.

--- Begin Message ---I would encourage you to use double quotes instead of single quotes inside the PHP code. After this, you must comment HTML double quotes so the PHP engine does not consider these as part of its code. I would type your example like this: <?php echo "Email: <a href=\"mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">".$row_rep_RS['repEmail']."</a>"; ?> Note how the only concatenated string (using periods) is the variable $row_rep_RS[] and the double quotes inside the HTML link were commented using a backslash.

Tell me if my logic is wrong or I missed anything The part where I am confused is, on the front page (say index.php) how do I display all the categories and sub categories in the correct order? eg: Auto --Cars --Bikes Banking --Finances --Loans Women --Boring but REALLY good looking --Great fun but not-so-good-looking Any ideas? I searched hotscripts and google but found crappy programs like phpyellow and zclassifieds which are really no good to me.

The ideia is to use Xerces to balance HTML files in order to create Xhtml and then compare. To make things a little easier for Xerces I am considering to remove some elements that do not make diference for my similarity point of view, for example, <script></script> tags, before calling xerces. So I was wondering which regular expression should I use to remove the <script>content</script> and so on... regards. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

--- Begin Message --- this is off the topic of caching, but is related and could have an impact on the issue: using a .php instead of a .mp3 would seem like a good idea, but this ties into a problem i'm having right now with streaming mp3s using, in my case, the flash player plugin to stream and play the file. it would seem that there is a *distinct difference* between making a direct file request and making a request for a php file that sends the same data. this perhaps has something to do with the way apache/php handles the request? I can't come up with any other explanation, and i'm not an expert on the behind-the-scenes end the server-side applications. heres the unexplained difference: when directly requesting an .mp3 file, the app (flash plugin) works fine. when requesting a .php file that reads and sends the data from a file, things still work but the plugin/browser cannot interrupt the operation until the full file is downloaded - i.e., you can't click a link in the page and go somewhere else until the stream is completely downloaded and the php script is complete. the browser just sits there with its icon spinning until all is finished, no links work until then. its very weird. i am doing this just by using a fread() to a file handle and echoing the result. any explanations, or enlightened thoughts on 1) why this happens, and 2) how it could impact the differece between a direct .mp3 embed and a .php embed?

Chris explained a lot about this... I'm not an expert on this, but you might want to give a try to embed something like :
"<embed src='mp3.php?mp3=filename' autostart=true>";
And then let mp3.php send all of the no-cache headers together with the contents of the filename.mp3.
It might work, I would give it a try...
HTH,
