[PHP] Transitioning from php3 to php4

2001-02-01 Thread Chana Black

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for this question, if it is not, 
please let me know!

I have several sites that need to be upgraded from php3 to php4. In order 
to test compliance of the php3 code on php4, I need to know exactly which 
functions have different usage / results on php4.

I know that include() and rand() work differently, any others?

Does anyone know of an article / page in docs that explains this? There was 
a page like this on php.net when php4 was first released, but I can't find 
it anymore. The faq on this does not have any useful info.

Thanks,
Chana Black

Re: [PHP] Include " quotes inside textbox

2001-02-01 Thread Chana Black

If you want to put a " in an echo statement, you need to escape it first by 
putting the / before it, like /"

The function addslashes does this for you.

Re: AW: [PHP] gethostbyaddr timeout

2001-02-01 Thread Chana Black

set_time_limit() ? Read the docs - this may be the solution.

Re: [PHP] similar to shuffle()

2001-02-01 Thread Chana Black

I had the same problem... I wrote a function that does this:

function scramble(&$array)
{
 // scrambles the elements of a one dimentional array
 // written by cblack ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
 // in php3 >= 3.0.8, there's a function called shuffle that does this
 for ($i=0;$iDoes anyone know of a function in version 3.0.7 that does the same thing to
>shuffle(), which was implemented in 3.0.8?  I'm trying to run a banner

RE: [PHP] Pricing for PHP programming???

I agree 100%. It looks simple, but to write really good code you need to 
know your stuff.
