Instead I just want PHP, through the php.ini file or whatever to take the session data and put it in a database instead of the file system. In doing it this way, I assume that I will not have to touch somebody else's code. Can't do it that way. You need to load some PHP code that tells PHP what to do upon session starts, saves, reads, etc. Closest you could come is to set an auto prepend file that loads your session handler. ---John Holmes... This is how I would do it and would require no additional changes to the code - just set your auto prepend in a .htaccess file if you're using Apache. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Why does it return 1 as the week of the year for that date?
Because week 1 is defined as the first week with four or more days in
the new year. Therefore, working backwards, the 29th-31st are also in
week 1 in 2004.

[PHP] Re: str_replace not replacing
Aaron Merrick wrote:
I'm reading in to a variable $section1 an entire php file that creates a
mysql table. I can output the variable in a new file just fine (figured out
what all had to be escaped in the original file).
My problem is, I want to replace the table name in the original file with a
new table name before I output it to the new file. But the str_replace has
no effect. Neither does an ereg_replace. Is there something in the content
of the file that is foiling the replace?
Here is what I have right now. It produces the same file content as is read
in.
$search = "item";
$replace = "poem";
mkdir($replace, 0777);
$section1 = file_get_contents("table_create.php");
str_replace($search, $replace, $section1);
chdir($replace);
$table_create = fopen($replace."_table_create.php","w+");
fwrite($table_create,$section1);
?>
str_replace() doesn't affect $section1; it returns the subject with the
replacements, so you'd need:
$section1 = str_replace($search, $replace, $section1);
Of course, you'd know this if you had RTFM ;-)

The distinct keyword applies to the whole row. Since you're including
other fields that will be different even though the name is the same,
MySQL does not consider them duplicate rows.

Hey Stuart,
Thanks for replying.
So what can I do to make sure I get only order_id distinct? possible?
Thanks,

SELECT DISTINCT order_id FROM ...
Then loop through the results and run another query to find out details
of each order.

If so, the files array shouldn't be like that. It shouldn't be split

If you mean how do you store all the returned results in an array of
name/value pairs, this is how I'd do it:
while ($result = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
$variable[$result['name']] = $result['value'];
}

Don't know what 'value' represents, but it will give you an array
something like this:
print_r($variable);
