Function Not Returning Expected Value
I have a php file that contains a couple of arrays used for
state/country pull-down lists. I have two global arrays and an accessor
method for each. I have some simple logging methods, so I know a little
bit about what I'm getting back. When I try to get the arrays from
another file using the accessor methods, I get no array back. Within
the file that contains the arrays, I can access them by global name and
also by the accessor methods. Any ideas why I cannot access the arrays
from another file? Code below.
<SNIP FROM CALLING METHOD>
require_once BASE . '/config/formfields.inc.php' // file with needed
arrays
// the calling method
function display_states($smarty){
logobj(function_exists(get_states)); // returning True/1
$s = get_states();
logobj($s); // no love here
logobj(BASE . '/config/formfields.inc.php'); // it's the right
file
}

Returning An Array From A Function
I have a function (fileTree) that recursively reads all the files in a directory passed to it, and returns an array of the files, I have included the code for this function below. When I call this function, the bit of debug code at the end will correctly print the array of files I am expecting, and then returns. However, what is returned form the function isnt the array, is a scalar that just contains the value of the last element in the array I am calling the function like this:

Returning NULL Vs. Returning FALSE
It seems to be a generally adopted convention to have a function return FALSE in case of an error. But if a function is supposed to return a boolean anyway, one cannot distinguish anymore between the "normal" FALSE and the "error" FALSE. So why not using NULL instead to indicate an error? Are there drawbacks I am not aware of?

For example, if the month is 11 and $close_date == 7, then the mktime function should return the next year for the year value, not the current year. And if the day is the last week of December, than the month and year should change if close_date == 7.

Buffer Flush Doesn't Work Quite As Expected
I've got a PHP script (running on MacOS X, PHP 4.1.12) which uploads bookings from one database to another, and I'd like to have the screen show progress as it happens (each time I process a booking, I write a line summarising it to the browser with 'print') From RTFMing and Googling, it seems that I should be able to do this by turning output buffering on and using ob_flush() et al. However, this only sort-of works, in that instead of getting output line by line, I get a multi-line chunk on the browser from time to time. Am I stuck with having this chunk-by-chunk visualisation, or can anyone please suggest a way that I can make it force each line to the browser as I write it?

Problem Getting Script's URL ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] Not What I Expected)
I have a function that restricts access to a page to logged in users. When a user who isn't logged in goes to the page, it will dynamically generate a login form. I'm trying to use it in conjunction with the free shared SSL certificate offered by my host. To use SSL, you would change a URL like this http://mydomain.com/page.php to https://ssl.myhost.com/mydomain.com/page.php My problem: when my script dynamically generates the login form, it uses the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] value in the action field. But this ends up being '/page.php' rather than '/mydomain.com/page.php' so my form gets submitted to https://ssl.myhost.com/page.php instead of https://ssl.myhost.com/mydomain.com/page.php Simple I thought, I'll just use the SERVER or ENV variable that gives me the full url. My problem: it doesn't seem to exist!

SQL Not Returning Value Even Though It's There...

SELF Not Returning URL
I use $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] in order to work out where on the server the PHP app has been installed. This is then used (amongst other things) to build absolute links in the resulting page sent to the client, of the form: <a href="<?=_INSTALLDIR?>index.php">Link</a> This works great on a couple of development servers, with a fairly standard Apache installation, but on the big ol' live server (Apache 2, PHP 5) it doesn't. This seems to be because of either virtual directories and/or URL rewriting (?!) that results in SCRIPT_NAME / PHP_SELF etc. all returning the file system path to the current file, and *NOT* the URL that appears in the address bar, which is required to build the links.
