RE: [PHP] PHP GURU NEEDED
To start with I am not a recruiter just looking for talented PHP developers to join my team. Secondly I am trying to understand why you (Daevid) think that it is acceptable to try and tarnish the name of my company when you don't even know us or the work that we produce. One wonders why, if you are so disinterested in working with us, you bothered to reply at all. As you've already made up your mind that Cyber-Duck is not a great company to work for this seems to be an awfully large waste of your time. I'm not going to spend hours going into the finer details of our business strategy with someone whose sole purpose in answering my initial email is to defame both myself and the company I work for. Cyber-Duck has an exemplary track record, backed up by a host of digital media awards and satisfied clients, none of whom have ever been put off by the name of the company or the highly proficient flash animations on our website. Thanks for the advice on buzzwords- obviously all non net-savvy potential clients want to spend hours trying to digest page after page of what, to them, are incomprehensible pseudonyms and abbreviations.

$d2 = date("Y-m-d", $gen_pos + (1*24*60*60)); // 2009-10-25
$d3 = date("Y-m-d", $gen_pos + (2*24*60*60)); // 2009-10-26
$d4 = date("Y-m-d", $gen_pos + (3*24*60*60)); // 2009-10-27
$d5 = date("Y-m-d", $gen_pos + (4*24*60*60));
$d6 = date("Y-m-d", $gen_pos + (5*24*60*60));
$d7 = date("Y-m-d", $gen_pos + (6*24*60*60));
$d8 = date("Y-m-d", $gen_pos + (7*24*60*60));
line 2 and line 3 return same date,its wrong ... it should be 2009-10-25

Re: [PHP] Problem with date
Adding the number of seconds in a day could fall in the same day due
to daylight saving time, a more reliable way of adding one day (or a
given number of days) is this:
$tomorrow = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m") , date("d")+1, date("Y"));
Then use date() with $tomorrow to format it.
(Taken from example #3 here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php, see the Note below the
example in that page).
Hope that helps.

RE: [PHP] Problem with date
strtotime would be a neater way of solving the problem...
ie (untested):
$n = 0;
while ($n <= 9)
{
$date = "d".$n;
$$date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+ $n days")
$n++;
}
If you are just enquiring about the maths though, I'm not sure!

Utilizing a multiple CPU server setup with PHP depends on how you're using PHP. If you're using FastCGI with a process pool, the number of PHP processes is going to determine how many CPUs PHP uses, obviously enough. On a quad core machine, 2 FastCGI children in the pool are only ever going to use 2 cores, while 4 processes has a higher likelihood of utilizing the entire set of CPUs. However, setting your child process number too low can seriously impede your performance, so there's some experimentation necessary to determine what's best for your particular scenario, based on usage, server power, script profiling, etc. but a good number to start with is (1.5 * # of logical processors). All of this necessarily changes if you're using Apache, of course. Under the classic pre-fork model, Apache forks a new process to handle a request every time the server is hit. So, to utilize four cores, Apache would have to serve four pages simultaneously, forking four child processes. Depending on your traffic and page generation time, the amount of child Apache processes can pretty easily head up into the hundreds, unless of course you have a lower MaxChildren set (which I personally would recommend against because of Apache's huge glaring vulnerability to SlowLoris). Under the worker model, Apache forks up to X processes, and each process handles a configurable amount of requests before dying, so like FastCGI, you'd have to configure the number of children to be run, although it's recommended (I hear, I'm not too very familiar with Apache) to use a much higher number than the amount of cores, several dozen perhaps. Like I said, I'm not too familiar with Apache, so I'd do some research and experimentation with the number of child workers to give Apache.

[PHP] best function to use ~ file_get_contents or ?
Hi All, Not sure of the best approach, need your feedback. I have 4 images on a website. These are used in navigation. When I load a reference webpage on my local machine the local page calls 4 images from an external website, each image will be on a different domain. What I want to see is if the navigation images/buttons can be loaded/displayed in my browser. If they can, then I will display the images on my local page. If the images cannot be loaded, then this indicates some connection issue and the result will be some text like 'Site Offline'. So just by glancing at my local machine reference page I can tell if one or more of the different sites is or is not available. So what is the best function to use? if ( @file_get_contents( DOMAIN_PATH . "images/navigation/nav_globalissa.png" )): or ??? Please also cc i...@globalissa.com Thanks for any helpful suggestions.

Re: [PHP] best function to use ~ file_get_contents or ?
There is no best function as such. Everything depends upon your requirement. You can also use fopen() to get the contents of the remote file and do some error handling that if you get any content then display image else a message etc..
