Thanks much!

A good thing to use though, is code that will detect if it is turned on.

Something like this

if ( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) {
  $_GET = array_map("stripslashes", $_GET);
  $_POST= array_map("stripslashes", $_POST);
  $_REQUEST = array_map("stripslashes", $_REQUEST);
}

This way, it doesn't matter what the setting is, it will be corrected if 
it is turned on, no matter what.

Just simple Javascript stuff. Just create a large div block that is
absolutely positioned over the top of everything and spans the whole
width/height of the page.

The either use alpha levels or a small 2x2 gif/png image that produces
the greyed out effect

0X
X0


Then draw your login in the middle of your div.

Not PHP, but it does look nice :)

If you also want users to login first, don't do it like this ;)

I'm listening to the song now without logging in, just running this in

There is no "proper" way. You have various tools to make one with,
namely pretty much all client-side scripting languages that work in
browsers. There are no standards dictating how it should be done, it's
all left up to the developer, there are just 'options' :)

On a sidenote, this has nothing whatsoever to do with PHP, it's
presentation in a client-browser we're looking at.

Because obviously, we occasionally wander off topic.

Your php example made your point very well and was within the subject 
-- nicely done.


But, you should had given us time to guess without providing an 
explanation. Sometimes, less is more.

Re: [PHP] getting timestamp for first day of current week

[Olav Mørkrid]

what i need is that "monday" means "monday this week", regardless of
whether i ask on monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday,
saturday or sunday.

the way php works now, i have to something like this:

 if(date("l") == "monday")
   $from = date("Y-m-d"); // if today if monday, just give today's date
 else
   $from = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("last monday")); // when asking on
tuesday thru sunday

it would be nice if strtotime understood the form "monday this week".

I don't see how you figure "clearly makes a mistake". For instance the
following script illustrates a VERY clear behaviour that doesn't seem
mistaken to me, it seems more like a design choice:



You'll notice that it always presents the first such date from TODAY
ONWARDS.

With that in mind it is trivial to get the date YOU want.

Cheers,
Rob.

kenn:

You could use an array.

$a = array(1000, 2000, 2000, 4000, 5000);

$num_before = count($a);

$num_after = count(array_unique($a));

If two, or more, variables have the same value, variables $num_before 
and $num_after will be different.

How big is your project?
If you're talking about a personal visit counter, run away OOP.
If you're talking about a really big project (And yes, CMS _is_ a
big
project), go ahead and use OOP.

OOP is better to mantain... :-)

kelvin,

here is the example:

?>

catalog.xml

in this example the xml data is imported from a file rather than built in

life is full of tradeoffs.  my understanding is there is a  tradeoff between
simplicity / complexity and performance / mantainability.  so if youre
trying to build something small that runs fast you can use the standard PHP
facility, ie




this is my page


my name is 

there are other approaches as well; i personally prefer building the html as
a string, so the previous example would become



this is my page


my name is ' . $myName;
echo $htmlOut;
?>
some people even build templating systems around these core PHP facilities.

but when building a large site templating systems facilitate the separation
between PHP and XHTML youre looking for.  i havent used Smarty, though ive
looked at it.
one of the big issues it presents is it is basically its own little
language, because logic can be embedded within a template.  so for instance,
if you want to build an HTML table and you have several rows worth of
content in an array, lets say, you could loop over the array within the
template producing the rows during said iteration.  so there is this issue
where a mistake could be made in the logic thats embedded in a Smarty
template, which begs the awesome question, how do you debug a Smarty
template?
so, truth be told, logic can be embedded in an xsl file as well.  really you
just need to create a set of conventions that dictate how much logic, if
any, will be allowed in template files.  that must be enforced for all
development on your site; the same could be done for a site built using
Smarty.  and also, i suppose there is an issue w/ broken logic in XSL
templates as well.  but the main reason i prefer XSL is because its a W3C
standard whereas Smarty is not.  also, XSL can be used w/ any language, not
just PHP so i feel i am more valuable knowomg i might be able to use XSL w/
other languages on other projects like java or .net or w/e.

i will send a sample when i get home, im at the office right now.
