MySQL Increment/Decrement
I hope this isn't a bone-head question - Is there a MySQL query that will increment/decrement the value in an integer column with a single query - in other words, I don't have to run a SELECT query to get the value, add/subtract to/from the value, and then run an UPDATE query to store the new value? Thanks ... 29 Dec 2009 08:37

SQL Queries
Hey, Lets assume I got a table named "users". It contains id & name. I have another table called "notes" - which contains id, user_id, contents I want to delete all users from table "users" that don't have notes (SELECT ....

Checking for internet connection.
Hi all. I'w writing a PHP app that is designed to run over a LAN, so internet connection for the server is not really essential. Some users may deliberately not connect it to the internet as a security precaution. But I'd like the app to make use of an internet connection if it exists to check for an update... 23 Dec 2009 12:12

Class "COM" not found
(moving to php-general(a)lists.php.net, please reply-to-all if you have more questions) DBus would be the only extension that comes close to what the COM extension does on windows. See http://pecl.php.net/package/DBus There are currently no documentations (and apparently no releases?) but you can check it out f... 17 Dec 2009 04:57

file_get_contents ($file) works -- file_get_contents ($url) returns false

file_get_contents ($file) works -- file_get_contents ($url) returns false
Strange problem I'm having on Mac OS X Server 10.6 running PHP 5.3. Any call of file_get_contents() on a local file works fine -- the file is read and returned. But any call of file_get_contents on a url -- any url, local or remote -- always returns false. var_dump (file_get_contents ('http://www.google.com/')); ... 16 Dec 2009 05:48

request for support
I'm using PHP 5.2.11 with Apache 2 (and i also tried Apache 2.2) However, when I add this entry to my httpd.conf: <code> LoadModule php4_module "C:/Program Files/php/sapi/php4apache.dll" </code> Apache will crash when trying to start the service. If I comment the line out, Apache starts just fine. Than... 8 Dec 2009 10:50

mod_rewrite...https index page -> http index page
My apologies, this is not strictly PHP...but it is relevant to a great number of PHP application frameworks that many of us use or will use. I have a Magento installation that relies heavily on mod_rewrite. For the most part, I have all of my canonical URLs worked out, minus one issue. How do I make sure that h... 1 Dec 2009 10:32
