RE: [PHP] CVS Scripts
Thanks Chris and to everyone else who actually replied with some useful info, it's much appreciated. I am going to code this up myself with wrappers around the cvs commands I need. It would have been nice if there was some sort of framework for doing this already. The reason I joined this list was to try and get some helpful insights not to face a barrage of emails about my signature. OK so I sent a message with a signature I should have stripped out, big deal. Anyway, that's the end of the matter on the signature from me. Thanks again to all those who replied with constrictive comments.

Don't redirect to this.
Your session data has "wi/madison" in it, redirect to that:

This line does the actual rotation, and, along with $degrees = 18, is

There is no way to know when they quit/closed the browser or even just
walked away and let the session time out.
But you *CAN* easily log the last time they accessed any page, by
adding something like:
$query = "update user_profile set last_access = now()";
$access = mysql_query($query, $connection);
if (!$access){
//error handling here
}
So you'll know the last time they actually DID anything, which is
probably more interesting than recording when they closed the browser
if they were looking at some other tab anyway.

Re: [PHP] validating mysql bound date
Something like this, perhaps:
preg_match('/^((19|20)[0-9]{2})-([0-1]?[0-9])-([0-3]?[0-9])$/',
$input, $date_parts);
var_dump($date_parts);
This doesn't completely rule out bogus dates such as 2008-02-30 however.
I think MySQL would just convert that to MAR 1, 2008 anyway...
But if you want that degree of comparison:
list(,$year, $month, $day) = $date_parts;
$unix = mktime(1, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);
list($y, $m, $d) = date('Y-m-d', $unix);
if ($year != $y || $month != $m || $day != $d){
//handle invalid date input here
}
If you do all of that (which is really 5 lines of code) you should be
pretty sure it's a correct/valid date.

[PHP] programming and design fees
hi, maybe my question is not exactly for php list, but since php IS involved and since you are such a great people, I hope the question will not disturb you :D I have a project for one electric wholesale store to build a web site. it has to be dynamic, php, database driven web site. it will have "standard" pages (news, links, about us, history, contact us, contact form, faq, business partners,...) and product catalog. my client wants to have ability to have different prices for the same product for different customers. means, when you come to the site you are going to see "public" prices. after customer logs in he's going to see some products with different price. customers (only registered ones) will be able to select products and create an order. of course, after he submits, he's going to get confirmation email, and one email will be sent to store etc. payment is not involved, the store will charge them later, probably monthly or something like that (not part of my project). even there is not payments or any other sensitive data will be transfered over the internet, I suggested and the store owner accepted to use login to membership area and ordering process SSL. project has administration area too to change content of the site, add/edit/delete (single) products, add/edit/delete customers. I have to build also script to update products using excel sheet - the easiest way to make update of products for store owner. I think I covered almost everything. there will be some more stuff, but noghtin "critical" (new customer registration page, manage my profile, order history,...) now, I didn't have such a big project "on side" ever. and I by default ALWAY suck in calculations how much time I need for a project and what to charge. I think I need about 120 hrs (3 weeks) to build this baby (without design part). I need your opinion. is it enough time (yes, I know it depends of how fast I program :D Let's say, average fast :)) and what are fees these days for such a project? I lost track. $75/hr is lowest price today or I can't ask more than $50/hr? thanks for any advice/help. -lamp - Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.

Given that you're an individual bidding on a single project, you might want to consider fixed price instead of time and materials. As for estimates wrt time and effort - if those were available on a mailing-list based on about 30 lines of project description, this list would be full of project managers, all with desperate needs to estimate how long takes. :-) /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Generating JavaScript menus on-the-fly
Hey - - -- - -- -- I keep a profile of a user's rights and responsibilities in tables. Since this profile defines what a user can do in the system I am designing, I'd like to build a JavaScript menu navigation scheme. I need it to be driven programmatically, because the Admin users can add and remove tasks to the system or to a given user at-will. I already built a similar thing using CSS-only menus, but it just wasn't aesthetically flexible enough. I am exploring other options, but I am wondering if any of you have done something similar and have any samples or advice.
