Hi all. I am building an online events directory and as part of the system
users can search for events by date, category etc.
The logic involved in finding events that match the user-entered dates works
like so:
1. we create a range of dates from the start and end dates specified by the
user
2.
Thanks for that - can't do that as all I know in the database is the start
and end date for each event (so I don't have to create mapping tables and
perform massive joins), the rest is handle dynamically.
I think I can do it using usort, this seems to work, any comments?

Hi all. I have an odd problem.

database for all events whose lifetime

Of course it's possible to output raw html in a php file, that's one of it's
fundamental uses! In fact, it's more efficient to switch the php parser off
and send raw html as the php parser doesn't need to get involved.
If you are running that from the command line, why do you need html? Not
sure why you're doing that.
Why not learn in a web environment if your goal is to build a website? Just

Hi all. I have built an online events directory in php (

post their events. The app is composed of a single page, index.php, that
generates different content depending on the parameters passed to it and
uses sessions for pe
The characters are encoded in octal and the php interpreter converts them
into the corresponding ASCII characters and then the sequence is represented
as a string which is included?
Another small and unrelated point - you don't need to use double quotes
inside the array brackets - you're not processing them at all.
It's a personal thing. I use Code Igniter (codeigniter.com), which is fast,
lightweight, has a great community and excellent documentation, as well as
some very good video tutorials.
It pales in comparison with Ruby On Rails, of course, but that's another
thread on another list...
What function(s) are you using to read the file contents? How are you
inserting them into the array? Code examples please...
You could also try Drupal. Drupal 5 comes bundled with jQuery. Drupal is
powerful and flexible and the community is large and supportive.
If there is no need to return a value then I don't do so. However, the
function is going to process something, and surely you should check that the
processing has succeeded or failed?
Your problem is this:
$result_row[] = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
...you are assigning a query to a variable. What you need to do is
something like this:
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while ($result_row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
.
}
umask
Why not use umask?
Unless some server config error causes that stuff to be output on the page?
I tend to put such functions in a .inc file and amend the .htaccess to
prevent download.
Sure, I usually put these files outside the docroot - unless I am in some
f**ked-up hosting environment that doesn't let me change the include path...
I use something like this:
$_SESSION['profane'] = false;
foreach ($_POST as $value) {

$errors = true;
$_SESSION['profane'] = true;
