[PHP] using declare .. ticks functionality
Hi All, Quick question, has anyone had any luck using the register_tick_function and declare (ticks=32){ ...} construct? I have a need to try this out to measure the times taken in various functions etc using this sort of method, I want to know is there any way of extracting the function name or some sort of useful information and passing it to the registered tick function.

[PHP] Forms issues..
I am having difficulty managing forms. for example I have a table builder class which builds me a table of a query with all the bells and whistles to make it editable etc. so it creates it's own form to build itself on, then I have a dateselector class which builds a nice little graphic date selector, this also uses it's own form as it is not always in a table - it can be anywhere - as far as I know you can't have a form in a form so I am cheating a bit at the moment and only creating the dateselector after the table on a div then moving it into place.. This is working for me, but being a relative newbie I am sure there is a better way to handling forms. Any ideas, comments appreciated. Thanks _________ Simon Taylor AfriTol (Pty) Ltd. ?

Have you tried it like this? $_SESSION['sess_client'] = $ClientName; $_SESSION['sess_ref_clientFact'] = $ClientRef; If it still gives you the old vars I would look at where the $ClientName and $ClientRef are coming from. -Original Message- From: Stéphane Pinel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 October 2002 11:32 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Updating session variables values during session Same problem...

RE: [PHP] People who searched this also searched this!
This sounds a lot harder than it is, all you have to do is first of all make some space ion your db then you need to cache searches that users have done. Store the group of searches for unique users, then if someone does a search match it against the cache and pop up all items which were retrieved by the other cached searches for the other id's (you can build up the most popular items if there are lots of matches).. Amazon also caches your own searches and starts displaying groups of products which they know you were interested in and related products, I usually find them spot on so their logic is very good - it is bad for the credit card though :( Cheers Simon -Original Message- From: Maxim Maletsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 14 October 2002 16:42 To: Randum Ian Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] People who searched this also searched this!

RE: [PHP] Re: PHP & XML
Sure in this context I agree with you, but how often do you have a website which needs to publish in many different formats? I have designed and built websites for a while and have never come across such an application. But if I were ever I would definitely invest the effort that is required, but until then I will save myself from the extra work.

Let's imagine you create a website of an online magazine, this magazine publishes in HTML, PDF, TXT, PS, etc, etc, etc. How would you do it?
