RE: [PHP] fopen a URL with = in it
It does not work with the = right in the URL.. PHP gives me a warning
about the fopen statement or file statement if I do.. and then returns
nothing.
If I escape it, it loads the proper URL, but then the page it opens
does not recognize the defined variables because it loads
http://www.something.com/file.php?thing\=thething instead of
http://www.something.com/file.php?thing=thething...

Re: [PHP] Re: fopen a URL with = in it
So you're saying that I should be able to pass the = sign in just fine
into the fopen call with no errors? I understand what you mean that if
= was what the variable was defined as, then THAT is where I'd use
urlencode ;) I wasn't too sure about that, but now I am.
Quite odd that it reports errors then when passing in an = sign.
Perhaps PHP does not like to load url's like that..

Re: [PHP] age
Here's something I use for a date string that looks like mm/dd/ to
turn the date into an age from the current date.
$age = explode("/", $bdate);
$userage = date("Y") - $age[2];
if($age[0] > date("m") || ( $age[0] == date("m") && $age[1] > date
("d"))) { --$userage; }
if($userage > 50) { $userage = ""; }
I did not compensate for leap years, however. You could use my code,
and it should work fine, but the first line where I do an explode,
you'd have to change that to turn your date string into #'s like I
use..

> does any one know where i can get a script that will convert a
birthdate in to an age. i have one half written however i have
incounter difficulties with dealing with leap years. perhaps soem one
would know the solution . .. or just a premade script is fine
