[PHP] odd while behavior...
Okay so I'm just playing around with some stuff trying to learn more
and expand my knowledge and I ran into something I don't understand...
Take the following code:
";
$i ="0";
while($i <="12") {
$dateformat = date("M", mktime(0,0,0, $i,0,0));
$month = mktime(0,0,0, $i,0,0);
//echo date("M", mktime(0,0,0, $i,0,0));
//echo "inside while";
echo <<{$dateformat} {$i}
HTML;
$i++;
}
echo "";
?>
which does display a select drop down box with the month's in it...
But on my test server it starts the display at december... With
setting $i = "1" i would have thought it should start at january?
Any ideas on what I missed? :)
Thanks for looking! :)

Re: [PHP] odd while behavior...
This is because of your mktime() call. You're trying to get the zeroth day of
the month, which is the last day of the preceding month. Using mktime(0, 0, 0,
$i, 1) instead should give you the desired results, assuming you do start at 1,
and not 0 as you have in your code.

You'r specifying day 0. Which actually is in december. It is an optional
argument. So you can specifify mktime(0,0,0,$1) instead.

Re: [PHP] odd while behavior...
I wouldn't really use a while statement for this, but a for loop instead, as it
needs less code:
";
for($i =1;$i<=12;$i++)
{
$dateformat = date("M", mktime(0,0,0, $i,0,0));
echo <<$dateformat $i
HTML;
}
echo "";
?>
The other code was starting from 0 and going to 12, which is 13 months! Also,
you had the variable being compared as a string, which will work in this
particular case, because php will convert $i to a string before each comparison
in the loop. While it works in this case, its best practice to use the variable
type you need to avoid unusual behavior.
The mktime function is unusual in that indexes for months start at 1 and not 0
as you might expect, but it does indicate that on the manual pages.
Thanks,

Re: [PHP] Error message not understood
I've run both programs. [1] outputs Client library version 5.1.51, but [2] gives no output. However I have checked MySql status via the command prompt which tells me mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.51 for Win32(ia32).

It makes hard for others to follow the thread. Are you running PHP with IIS or Apache? If with Apache how are you running PHP as, CGI or module? Since you're using official distributions, you'll have to use PHP VC6 TS build (if not using as CGI/FastCGI) for Apache [1]. If you're running PHP with IIS, you'll have to run NTS build for FastCGI [2].

[PHP] Binary data unpacking
Hello everyone, For the past while, I've been working on a class for reading in, modifying and writing out NBT-format files. This particular format is used for the game Minecraft, as some of you may know. Attached is my work so far on this, which is coming close to being a working solution to reading the files in. As well, attached is an example NBT for testing the script. The specification for the NBT format can be found at http://www.minecraft.net/docs/NBT.txt. The issue which I'm having is that PHP's pack and unpack function for binary data does not seem to be complete. Or, at least, it's missing certain functionality which is necessary for what I'm trying to do. It may be a matter of misunderstanding on my part, but I would have expected the pack and unpack function to be able to handle every combination of endianness, signing and machine-specific sizing of each type. Currently, I'm stuck in reading in the TAG_INT type of the NBT format, which is a 32-bit signed short, big-endian, as per the specification. There does not seem to be a packing format code for this data type. How might I go about this? Am I simply missing something about binary data, or is PHP's pack/unpack functionality indeed lacking? And, if the pack and unpack functions are indeed lacking, is it possible to handle binary data without those functions?

How do I calculate whether $mydata->Birthday falls into these categories

I'm working my way right now through the manual:

I cannot just calculate:
$mydata->birthday - $now = X age bracket.
80+ year category | A |
70+ year category
60+ year category
50+ year category
40+ year category | B |

21+ year category
Thans for any inspiration. I can find and hack code. I'm just like to
