Re: [PHP] Re: SESSION variables: How much is too much?
I prefer to reduce SESSION usage as much as possible. but I dont hesitate to use them if need arises. Points to note - Execution time: Only session_id is stored on the client's computer, and the actual data is stored on the server. so it will take nearly same time to process 100 session vars and 1 session var. - Security: While passing data trough hidden form fields, it is easy for the user to be change it. but its impossible (the user can change the session_id though) for the user to change the data stored in a session. - register_globals: i always set this off. but my host turned this on. had to spend 2 full days to find out what the problem was. coming back to you issue: IMHO storing stuff like" MaxDisplayRecords, DefaultDisplayRecords, etc.," in a SESSION var is the best solution. alternatives being - Hidden fields: this will add to unnecessary network traffic. - Use separate file: Why use a separate file if PHP does the job for you? - Use the database: If you have an existing connection this is OK.

if there are any php errors in that file, correct them before you proceed.

thats not required as long as you have correct Content-type header

I did not find any work around, but had to read /var/www which is the home directory of 'apache' (this is the user under which apache runs by default. hence you script needs 777 to execute) So if every thing else fails I'll recommend you to move the script to /var/ww (usually your server root) instead of /home/user -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Which out of the >> two do you do, as last time I checked, modifying one form field is as >> easy as changing any other! I completely agree with you. changing submit text is as easy as changing hidden fields, but its less likely for a user to modify a submit button as compared to a hidden field. moreover it just reduces my typing load. (This is just my practice) >> Also worth noting, you can only successfully check for the name="submit" >> value if there is only one submit button in your form, as that is then >> the default (and only) submit that the form can use, so it uses that. If >> you have more than one submit button (and this includes image input >> elements) then using the keyboard will use the first submit field it >> finds I believe. Cant agree with you on this though. as far as i know using name="" (names of the two buttons may/may not be unique) is the only way to track form submission for forms with multiple submit buttons.

Re: [PHP] Curl output
>> Some browser security settings may not allow you to run Javascript code
>> that exists on another server though
not many users use those kind of browsers, because if they do most of
the websites which use CDNs will not work.
Firstly, it is not a good idea to fetch an entire web page and snow it
to an user. (use iframes if this is a must)
Secondly, this idea may not be feasible if the web page in question
uses AJAX, because none of the browsers allow cross domain AJAX
requests
As a side note, use str_replace("", "",
$text) if base tag doesnot work
