Analyze My Mod_rewrite Logic
I’m new to mod_rewrite but already like what it can do with it! I just want to make sure I have it right before I go LIVE and search engines pay a visit. Trying to come up with as useful and “pretty†URL’s for my content module in the CMS I use.
My goal was to be able to reach main categories in the CMS with typing the name of the category without any numbers or file extensions.
I wanted that a URL like: mydomain.com/trails could be promoted (for instance in magazine advertising) and accessed. Code:

Restore Just Does Analyze
Why is it out of the last 4 database backups I have only the oldest one will restore. The others will only analyze. All it says is "The analyze operation finished successfully". How can I force it to restore from the latest backup? No table changes have been made between the backups. There is some data that has changed.

How To Analyze MySQL Performance In Pages (memory Problems)
Working with PHP 4.4.2 and MySQL 4.1.19, I'm suffering some memory problems on my server (memory allocations, slowness), and would like to know if my mySQL queries are well-designed in terms of memory. My website allow users to register and to share items with several degrees of privacity, so each time someone accesses webpages I must check which items are public or not, by using SQL queries. I've written code by myself so I may've done some mistakes.

Logic Help
Here's the deal: I have a page the lists "patterns". In this page is a link that opens up a window that displays ALL the "threads" available in the database. "Threads" need to be related to "patterns". What I mean by this is that I need the ability to select (with a checkbox) the thread listing for when I process the form, the patternID and the threadID are saved in a table. In addition to.. I need to be able to select ( from a checkbox) whether or not this thread is available for direct ordering or not. Here's some code:

And/Or Logic
I am having trouble with some and/or logic. I am using PHP to connect to a MSSQL server. I have the following in a select statement: where TT.fkBranchid=@BranchID and TT.DateCreated >= '{$begdate}' and TT.DateCreated < '{$enddate}' and (Left(d.instorecode,3)=ò•' or d.id=âÊ') and (P.code not in (?', ?')) In the third line of the where statement, I have that "or" section. I want all of the logic to run, except for the "Left(d.instore,3)=ò•'" and the "d.id=âÊ'" logic. It does not seem to work the way I have it coded right now. Would somebody be able to tell me what I am doing wrong? And, what the preferred method would be?

Math Logic
I'm writing a script to do some calculations on gambling odds. I don't have a direct PHP question, but a math question related to my script. There are some smart people around here so I thought I'd ask. If someone can answer my question and explain the logic that would be great. The house edge is 1.41% and a winning bet pays 2:1. However, for every $1 lost on the game, the player only has to pay $.55. Given these circumstances, what is the modified house edge?

Readdir Logic..
I want to use readdir to get all the filenames from a particular directory. more importantly, the number of files because I have created the files and know their naming convention. I have the create function separate from what I am working on now which is why I do not just use the information I already have. Inside my create function I return the directory name I created instead of, for instance an array of the filenames. (now that I think of it... i could create an array with the name of the directory and the rest of the array the filenames...) Anyways, continuing on with my original thoughts.If I have the following pseudo code: while (readdir($dir)) { $files[$count] = readdir($dir) // readdir would actually be the 2nd file now since I already advanced it in the if statement, no? } So I said ok i'll create a flag instead and set it to false once readdir returns false but I still can't capture the response from readdir without losing the file name. Should I have a while loop once to increment a counter to determine how many files are in the directory and then have a for loop incrementing up until the counter to use readdir to capture the file names?

Logic For This Coding
suggest me the logic for the following : Now, I have the number stored in variable 'x' , 'y' and 'z' which is to be matched with the four set of numbers say four arrays. I want to match this 'x' , y and 'z' with each array and print the output for each number matched. note : no numbers or array will be of two digit. also the array set is different for each variable 'x' and 'x' is ranging from 1 to 9. i.e if x=1; the array set will be a1={2,3,} a2={9,8} a3={4,7,6} a4={5} the x and y can be anything ranging from 1 to 9. now suppose if y=6 and z=2 then a1 and a3 should selected and the output should be the message which is written in number six and number 2. and i f x is different the array set will be different. can you suggest me simpler logic to do this.

Web Forms - Logic For What Happens After
The area of php that i just cant seem to grasp conceptually at this point is capturing user input with webforms. I understand the webforms themselves and how each field captures values and sets them to variables. I also understand form validation Where i lose it is when a user hits the submit button. 1) Please view my attached jpeg, i put a clear mini sample diagram of whats going on with my site. If i wanted to create a very simple webform that just added one element into my single dimension array ($ar_price) what would the code be for that.

Table Sorting Logic
I have a table with 4 columns. I have each column header acting as an asc/des sort on that column. I also have 4 filters that a user can apply to the table. What is supposed to happen.... If a user clicks on a column header twice in a row ( or 100 times in a row) the table will toggle back and forth between an asc/des sort on that column. If a user clicks on a "new" column header, the sort will reset to the initial asc/des value assigned to that column instead of just toggling from the current setting. If a user clicks on a filter, the results will be displayed with the "current" sorting method. What is actually happening.... Everything seems to be working fine except when a user clicks on the same filter link more than once. In that case, the sort toggles between asc /des, which I do not want to happen. PHP Code:

Smarty Caching Logic
How long does a $smarty->clear_cache(..., ...) function take? More specifically, how long would it take to run 300 or more of them? I'm implementing Smarty's caching in my application, and when a user lists himself in three hundred cities, I need to clear the cache for those 300 city pages. So should I run a loop that clears the cache for all those city pages, or should I let the cached pages expire every five or ten minutes? Or is there some way I can take advantage of cache groups (the abc thing as described in the manual)? Maybe there's some way I can pass an array of $compile_id's to clear_cache()...

Logic Design Flow
I'm having a brain freeze on how to go about creating the logic for evenly distributing a group of items in rotation through multiple iterations. I'm particularly looking for logic flow help and not necessarily syntax examples. Let's say we have a database table with the following pieces of fruit: apple apple banana orange pear peach First off, I need to move any duplicate pieces of fruit to the end of the list: apple banana orange pear peach apple Note the second apple goes to the back of the line. Now let's say there's 5 baskets to distribute the fruit in. Each basket can only contain one unique piece of fruit at a time. So on the first iteration the baskets look like this: basket1: apple basket2: banana basket3: orange basket4: pear basket5: peach apple (no basket) I now need to shift every piece of unique fruit up by one, bringing the 5th piece to the front of the line. Note that second apple stills stays at the back of the line because it's a duplicate. peach apple banana orange pear apple The next basket distribution iteration looks like this: basket1: peach basket2: apple basket3: banana basket4: orange basket5: pear apple (no basket) ....and so on. The second apple would only be added to the rotation if 1) one of the pieces of fruit gets eaten (deleted) OR 2) a sixth basket is added to the rotation. Here's the flow. 1) query table for data, ORDER BY fruit (alphabetically) 2) loop through recordset array and move any duplicates to the back (exp. compare 1 with 2, if 2 equals 1, move 2 to the end) 3) distribute fruit in baskets 4) move fruit 1 to the back, but ahead of the duplicates 5) go to step 3 How much of the sorting (and resorting) requirements can be done in the query? Would it be easier to re-query on each iteration or manipulate the existing recordset array?

Simple Logic Question
This is a pretty silly one, I just can't get my head around it. I have a table of artices, with a row "isPremium", meaning it's content available only to paid users. In my corresponding user table I have a row "user_group" with various levels signifying access rights. In my file displayarticle.php I'm trying to process this. What I want is for the system to check the article ID, if it's premium, check the user's credentials (and if they're not okay, print some kind of error), and if it's not premium, just display it as normal. My efforts to do this have given errors due to my nested if statements and I can't seem to think of a solution that doesn't involve my (200 line) display article code being repeated for both possible outcomes (eg, isPremium = true or false). Can anyone point out the blindingly obvious solution I'm missing?

Logic Template Methods?
I am in the process of recoding a rather complex DB system into PHP and am wondering if there is an alternative way I could template my logic so I don't have to re-dcode the logic of the various CRUD methods and an action forms. Currently I have two files, the custom code and the logic template: (custom code file) The custom bits of code that fall within the common logic are in various strings containing code segments (i.e. POST filter, validation, create record(s), update data, GET filter, delete confirm, flush data read in db record, etc.) (included template) next I include the template file which has the common logic code for that type of form and uses eval()s on the above strings in appropriate places. (custom code file) and finish with the HTML input form. It has made debugging and development easier, but I wonder if there is a better way that I haven't discovered in PHP, what do you guys do?

Multi-user Logic
I'm building a shopping cart system and although I am certainly familiar with PHP and MySQL, I've never actually built one before. I just wanted some of you experts to see if you can tell me if my approach will allow multi-user functionality. Here it is: When a user hits the buy button, the contents of the shopping cart gets placed in the database. The order gets placed in a table that has an auto_increment ID field. Once the order is placed in the table, the very next chunk of code, selects every order from the table sorted by ID from small to large. The last ID on the list is the new ID which I then proceed to use to finish off the purchase. I'm concerned that if several people are all placing orders simultaneously, is there a chance that the orders could get crossed?

Assuming it is stored in a cookie, I want the cookie value NO MATTER if the actual session id is changed. If the cookie is NOT set (some browser settings disallow this) then I'll retrieve the original value of the session_id from the database. That code is not displayed here.

Image Management Logic
I know there are hundreds of threads out there covering the code-side of uploading images to a database, but what I'm intereset in, is the logical part of how to manage images. I have a website with different projects. The amount of images per project varies between 3-12 images. There's also the option to add movies to a project I've managed to think of different ways how to manage the files. Upload all the images/movies into a single folder and tagging them with an unique id. Store the link to the file in the db. Create a folder for each project and store the files within. Probably still needs unique id's to prevent same-name-file-conflicts. Therefore why bother putting it in different folders in the first place,Store the files in the table as a binary (is that the right description? me = noob). Does that work for movies? I've read threads not recommending this.

basically, i have one form with a drop down box, say this box has values 1, 2, and 3. this form, like any other, is sent by clicking a submit button. now if the user chooses value 1, i need to go to form_a, if the user chooses value 2, i need to go to form_b, and 3 is form_c. how exactly do i do this, while still $_POST'ing the data to this next form. i have tried changing what goes in the action attribute in the <form> tag, but it doesnt seem to work. any clues on this? i dont really need any code, im just kind of stuck on my design. can you use php to change the destination in the <form action"..."> tag? do i need to use javascript to decide how to redirect the page? i tried making my own redirect page based on the values that were passed from the first form, but i found that i could not get the header() function to redirect after i made a call to the database.

Correct Validation Logic In Forms
I have a question which have bothered me for a while - thats to do the validation when a form is submittted: How can validation be done in the best way? I have come on the alternatives: 1- making the validation in the php after submitting the form --> then you handle in the server level, but would the data that the user enters still exist when you redirect to the same page (probably globals is needed then) --> how would the error messages be handled - would you redirect to a totally new page or the same the user came from? 2 - Using Javascript. --> This I like because you directly apply messages at the instance data is entered. --> But this is Client side - so its not a REAL validation. I like the usability of 2) and the consistency of 1) But what is the best practices?

Complicated Pagination Logic Problem
'll try to explain this as clearly as possible, sorry if it's unclear. You have in your directory /foo 42 images You have in your database metadata for 30 out of those 42 images You have to display all 42 images in the /foo directory whether they have database metadata or not. If any of the 42 images have metadata, you must display the metadata, else, you don't. With me so far? Good, it gets wild from here. You have a requirement for pagination. Your pagination limit is to only show 20 images at a time. The only way I know how to do this is to get all of the images out of the filesystem pertaining to /foo, all of the metadata out of the database pertaining to /foo, and logically combine them (using array_merge()) into a single resultset and display, metadata or not. However, to paginate to the next page, you'll have to have had stuffed THE ENTIRE RESULTSET into a $_SESSION variable and splice that. That of course is not good. But what on earth else do I do? If I am not to use $_SESSION, how would I paginate such an exotic resultset?
