The place where the cookies are stored is dependant of the users browser and platform. Try this by having MS IE and FF display all stored cookies - I bet you would get a different picture. -- Hilsen/Regards Michael Rasmussen http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE3E80917 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

In your Zend folder there is a folder called bin. In that folder you should see to other folders: php4 and php5. In each of those folders you should fine a file called php.ini. In that file add the following instruction: mysql.default_socket=/path/to/mysqld.sock -- Hilsen/Regards Michael Rasmussen http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE3E80917 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Htmlentities vs htmlspecialchars

If I remember correctly, htmlspecialchars does what its name indicate: konvert any character with special meaning according to the HTML specification. htmlentities converts any character to its HTML representation. One caveat of using htmlentities is that it is really hard to read for a human being, but as long as the output is only used inside a browser there is no problem. Nowadays I do a lot of XML stuff which only leaves one option: htmlentities. Another thing: PHP is designed to be used on the web in browser so htmlspecialchars, in my opinion, is redundant. -- Hilsen/Regards Michael Rasmussen http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE3E80917 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

There is really no need for debugger. Simple use the build-in exception handler.

The reason is security. A prepared statement cannot comprimize the
security of our database because all sql-statements are precompiled in the
DBMS. An example using pear:
$res = & DB:connect('mysql://someuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/thedb');
$sth = $res->prepare('select * from sometable where id > ?');
$sth->execute(10);
As the example demonstrates the request is hardcoded which means it cannot
be manipulated by any user supplied input. A beneficial side effect is
that all characters which need exscaping is automatically handled by the
DBMS. E.g the string O'leary would not cause any problems.
Another argument is, that it theoretically should run faster.

In any case the users input where to be used in queries defined by the design of the application! I think you have misunderstod the concepts of making queries based on user input.
