Here is working code to do it better:
// get your starting date
$darray = getdate();
$month = $darray['mon'];
$year = $darray['year'];
// create your months
$dt = array();
for ($i = $month; $i >= 1; $i--) {
$dt[] = date('m/d/y', mktime(0, 0, 0, $i, 1, $year));
}
$year--;
for ($i = 12; $i > $month; $i--) {
$dt[] = date('m/d/y', mktime(0, 0, 0, $i, 1, $year));
}
// print the dates, just as a check
for ($i = 0; $i < count($dt); $i++) {
print $dt[$i] . "\n";
}
This gives you a decending array from the current 1st of the month to
twelve months prior. The $dt array has mm/dd/yy date strings in it.
Change as needed.

Be careful in feeding values to mktime(). If your week spans a

mktime() month numbers, day numbers and year numbers.

if so, or
fetches it if not.
But if a page is populated with variables from a database (for example)
which could change from time to time, how could a caching engine
possibly cache it? How would it determine whether to re-fetch the page
or use the cached version?

PostgreSQL has a function called pg_escape_string() which probably
performs a function similar to MySQL's function. See
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-escape-string.php
But you'll still need other functions (as above in this thread) to do a
thorough job.

Upon login, you could perform a query of the table(s), looking for the
number of records where the logout field is empty.

st,
use an editor which does search-and-replace efficiently. Second, set up
a function which is called wherever you have $abort_now currently. For
the moment, have that function simply check the $abort_now variable. In
the future, you could have it do something else, but not have to change
your existing code.

I had an error something like this when using FPDF. It would hack up the

instantiate the class *once*, and loop on the *rest* of it.

That is, the data returned from authenticate.php would be processed by
authenticate.php. You'd need to put a branch in authenticate.php to
determine if this is a fresh invocation of the file, or if the user is
returning data to you. The second time through, you check the returned
values
l that in any file in the root of *your* web directories, and you
have what is essentially the "document root" for *your* site.
Presumably, you know the *relative* directories of all your files.
Simply append those relative directories + filenames to the $site_root
variable, and you&#

these will, to some extent, read and write binary values.
