    UTF8 database with one table that doesn't need to be

    I will be making multiple copies of this structure, so little decisions like this will add up. My database has 24 tables, and all but one of them might have multibyte characters entered in them, so the tables are UTF8 with either utf8_general_ci or utf8_unicode_ci collation, whichever seemed to...

    Select statement only pulling part of the information.

    If you change the LEFT JOIN to INNER JOIN (just as an experiment), do those rows disappear from the result set? If so, then for some reason it doesn't think the activity_id (17 in your first example, 5 in your png) has a match. I'm wondering if the field in the timesheet table needs to be...

    Main filename as seen from inside linked CSS file

    That's a good idea for most of my code - only about 2-3 of my files write to the session at all (the login script and a couple others that change the GUI language and such), so it might be good for me to start a new habit of using this kind of technique to keep the session unlocked as much as...

    Main filename as seen from inside linked CSS file

    Okay, you lost me on this sentence - in the previous post from you, I thought your last sentence meant using a standard "<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />" in page.php, with the session technique, and then doing something in mod_rewrite to change style.css into...

    Main filename as seen from inside linked CSS file

    Once again, great contributions by everyone. I love the Tek-Tips community! Whether at runtime or in a pre-processor to make a unique set of static CSS files for each client, it will be the same amount of complexity, and as far as I can tell it is not "unnecessary". And I don't do everything...

    Main filename as seen from inside linked CSS file

    Spamjim: The main reason I'm using PHP to build my CSS is because of colors - this application has a single codebase but multiple "clients" with their own database and their own color schemes in some cases. CSS doesn't really have the ability to "cascade" color values as some sort of variables...

    Main filename as seen from inside linked CSS file

    Okay, I decided to use the GET parameter - I'm gradually making all the changes now. (I'm using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead of hardcoding the name, for multiple reasons.) But if you still want to teach me for the future how I can put diagnostic code in something that is handled by the browser...

    Main filename as seen from inside linked CSS file

    Thanks, guys. I know I can pass the page name as a GET parameter (in fact, in a few cases I am already passing other things that way), but this code appears in about 30 files right now, so I thought I'd be clever and avoid editing each one. But I'm aware that that might be the way to go. In...

    Main filename as seen from inside linked CSS file

    I'm using PHP to construct my CSS output, like this: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.php" /> Multiple files have the above line in them, and I want to serve up some specific content based on which file is calling it. My thought was to have a switch statement with cases of the...

    PHP file found on flash drive - how could it have been used?

    I know - I was just chuckling about it. Thanks again, and have a great week!

    PHP file found on flash drive - how could it have been used?

    Better than 1/3... that means worse than 2/3... hmm, then I should improve, because I'm actually an American living in Japan! [wink] So for me, the challenges cut the other direction, e.g. my Japanese computer with Japanese software (including the accounting software where I had the massive...

    PHP file found on flash drive - how could it have been used?

    Yes, I know all of that. And I don't have a floppy drive, in case you are wondering. As of the last sentence of my previous post, I had decided to research and buy a new computer as soon as my current rush is over. (A Japanese tax accountant is coming tomorrow to review my taxes [in Japan...

    PHP file found on flash drive - how could it have been used?

    Fortunately it's just internet. In fact, even POP3 doesn't seem slow (once again, gut feel only) - just HTTP. I already had the hard drive ordeal with my second hard drive (that was used for video projects and footage), which died suddenly about two months ago (I came in the room and it was...

    PHP file found on flash drive - how could it have been used?

    I have Windows XP, and the GUI-style check disk tool that is run from the Properties dialog (as opposed to at boot time) does not leave any log file. I could run it again as part of booting just to get a log in Event Viewer, but the rumor is that if there were any problems found, the "I'm...

    PHP file found on flash drive - how could it have been used?

    I'm even more confident that it is exactly that (having glanced at its code a bit). It looks nothing like the code at the link you referenced, though. I also had that concern, which is why I opened the file in Notepad to have a peek. It was pretty big for a PHP file, but it appeared to be pure...

    PHP file found on flash drive - how could it have been used?

    On a trip where I used a PortableApps-equipped flash drive on hotel computers, I picked up a hitchhiker: a malicious file on my flash drive (no surprise!). But what I can't figure out is how it could have been used by hackers, and whether there is more on my system that I should be looking for...

    Query in loop becomes really slow

    I was having timeout troubles with a certain PHP batch script, and narrowed down the problem to one MySQL statement that is executed in a loop with different values for comparison (it's checking for similar records to data already acquired in another database). Here is one example of the query...

    mb_split misbehaving due to previous character

    ...match limit = 10000000 Default recursion depth limit = 10000000 Match recursion uses stack [root@vps-1011517-5697 ~]# pcretest re> /\n\s*\n/8 data> ひさしく\n\nNext line 0: \x0a\x0a data> ひさしく\r\n \r\nNext line 0: \x0a \x0d\x0a data> So that appears to work, and the PCRE it is using has...

    mb_split misbehaving due to previous character

    ...happens server side, not in the browser, (b) the regex is looking for blank lines, not Japanese characters, and (c) it does not fail if the preceding character is ぐ (the character that webkit doesn't distinguish from く). 2. AFAIK, the mb_* functions don't use the Perl-compatible method, but...

    mb_split misbehaving due to previous character

    ...find the pattern when it should, and the difference seems to be the previous character. This should be really simple: $stanzas = mb_split("\n\s*\n",rtrim($song->Lyrics)); Normally it works, recognizing a blank line. But if the previous character is the Japanese character "く" (UTF-8 0x304f)...
