Re: Dann, Guru of PHP...

Ok, so somehow the encoding got all futzed up. I went in and replaced all the <?> messed areas with the correct symbol and the htmlspecialchars() worked fine with those changes.

Oh well... C'est la vie!

As noob as I am, tried the htmlspecialchars() and to no avail.

I'm wondering if the quotes got encoded wrong in the db somehow... It *is* a copy of a db... maybe something when horribly wrong in the encoding.

Apple will open source iTunes, finally realizing that their products can be infinitely better if they are open.

Re: Dann, Guru of PHP...

So, encore! I've got a tidy bit of code that makes me happy, but there is a problem. I'm pulling data from MySQL, parsing it in php, and returning it to the main page through an AJAX function. While this works swimmingly, somewhere along the line my carriage returns and quotation marks are being tur...

Dann, Guru of PHP...

So I'm working on a project, and each page has some formatting that needs done, just basic stuff like default text, basic formatting, etc. I'm wondering what the best way to accomplish this might be. I'm thinking about building a default_html.php file that has the basics in it (divs, basic page layo...

Re: Oh Great Dann (mySQL question)

ignore me, I'm stupid: SELECT telegrams . * , telegramMeta . * FROM `telegramMeta` JOIN `joinMeta` ON `telegramMeta`.`id` = `joinMeta`.`metaID` JOIN `telegrams` ON `joinMeta`.`telegramID` = `telegrams`.`id` and I don't need a join, necessarily. But I think I might have made things harder than they n...

Oh Great Dann (mySQL question)

so I have written a join: SELECT telegrams.*, telegramMeta.* FROM telegrams JOIN telegrams ON telegrams.id = joinMeta.telegramID JOIN telegramMeta on joinMeta.metaID = telegramMeta.id from our conversation years ago, this should work. Well, it didn't... So I did a little looking and wrote: SELECT te...

Re: iPhone App

That's what I'm working on next. I was so annoyed with the @____@'ing objective-C that we are building a web-app. But your'e right, writing web apps for iPhone is doable.

Pat -- no... just... no.

iPhone App

So I wrote an iPhone app. I can only compare this to web-based software, but seriously, iPhone SDK is annoying. If you don't already know, it's based on Objective-C with apple's libraries sitting on top. At first blush, it's pretty neat, I mean, if you want to recognize touches, you just tell it to ...

Re: Taking Linux advocacy to the "mainstream" tech press

First of all, I cringed a little bit at the playing of clips of Linux bashing from the various Twit broadcasts. While many of those comments pissed me off, what immediately sprung to mind is that we could likely string together 8 full hours of Windows and Mac-bashing comments from the TLLTS shows o...

Re: stumped about php

I am not understanding what is happening here. Could you model what you are seeing and then what it should be doing. Something like: load page -> click new button -> see form You said it it then calls this function which displays a new entry into the recipe database. The unfortunate part is that so...

Re: stumped about php

Nope. To be sure I just added <input type="hidden" name="choice" value=""> to what is being echo'ed, I am also going to echo $_POST['choice'] to see if it is being set again, but I don't think it is. jsl just echoed out $_POST['choice'] and as true-to-form, $_POST was reset when the page refreshed, ...
