Re: [PHP] Create .php file with php
You might also consider looking at variable variables and dynamic PHP (writing and evaluating php expressions on the fly). http://us.php.net/variables.variable http://us.php.net/eval Writing the PHP to a file could be a potential security vulnerability. Especially if this was going to go into usage within a high usage web app. =) Adam Daniel Brown wrote: On 6/26/07, Marius Toma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I can not believe how stupid I can be sometime.

True, but on an unsecured box, this becomes possible, as Apache will most likely be running universally as `nobody`, `httpd`, `apache`, or `daemon` for all scripts, including all web-based scripts writing to the /tmp directory. This includes session information, temporary .php files (as Marius requested), et cetera. How is this different from: "put them in a specific directory that only the web server has access to read, write, and execute" Most /tmp directories are world rwx. So anyone that can log into the server through a shell, or any account running on the server, has at least read access to anything in the /tmp directory. They wouldn't need to do it through a web script. At least if the temp directory is rwx web server only, shell logins and other accoounts are denied access. Any web script can still get to it though.

Re: [PHP] Removing Spaces from Array Values
The function str_replace() DOES NOT change the parameter. Rather,
str_replace() returns the desired string. Try changing your code to:
for($num = 0; $cntr < $num; $cntr++)
{
$someArray[$num] = str_replace(' ','',$someArray[$num]);
echo "$someArray[$num]";
}

This is similar info that's within array values: $someArray[0] = "PHP is
awesome";s/b PHPisawesome
This is similar info that's within array values: $someArray[1] = "The Toy
Boat";s/b TheToyBoat
Begin Code===
$num = count($someArray);
for($num = 0; $cntr < $num; $cntr++)
{
str_replace(' ','',$someArray[$num]);

Re: [PHP] how PHP is batter?
This is an important debate and I would hope to see a more lively discussion. Many of us have to validate our choices and our employers don't care about anti-microsoft and anti-corporation arguments (I do believe the open-source versus closed-source argument is a valid one to make to your employers). I'm sure this question has come up many times on this board (and countless others), which might be why it is such a volatile topic. Though, this has been an ongoing debate for many years... the debate is very fluid. Arguments made in the past, like ASP.NET only works on IIS, might not be valid today. Much of the literature out there does not reflect this. I would like to offer this to the debate, benchmarks showing PHP to run faster: http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/benchmarks.html I thought this was a very interesting find, as ASP.NET is a compiled language. Theoretically, this would give ASP.NET an advantage as far as speed is concerned. Does anyone else have other evidence where ASP.NET has been shown to run faster? I don't think the benchmark I have given is very valid.
