How Can One Get Real Time Stock Quotes For An Online-community?
For one of our web-communities we plan an offer of real time stock
quotes incl. advanced notification services. I have the following
questions:
- Do you know of any services, that already offers such services in a
decent way?
And more important:
- Does anybody know a provider of such services, that offers a
real-time stock quote data stream for such a usage at a decent price? I
only know of Deutsche Börse offering it for 1駨 Euro per month. That
is too expensive for us.

My host just upgrade from PHP 4 to 5 and a online community script that I made stop working for a reason that I don’t know yet. This script that I was developing was with the idea to make something similar to yahoo groups. I will like to know if anyone knows about an open source script similar to yahoo groups (google also has something similar). I just want something functional meanwhile I could rewrite the script… ‘cause I thinking to start all over again to add new features and other stuff.

Real-time Output?
I'm a relative PHP newbie, so I apologize if this is a simple question. Anyway, here's my problem. I'm using a PHP script to pre-render a bunchload of insert files for an HTML page. Right now there's about 1,600, but that number could get much, much higher when the site goes live. I'll only need to re-render the whole batch once or twice a year (if that) but it's still something I'd like to be able to do in case I have to move the site to a different server, or there's a hard drive crash or etc. Basically what the script does is grab a whole bunch of information from a database and write the insert file. It does this for every single one. The problem of course, is that PHP by default does all this server-side, and then sends it to the browser. Because this process takes like ten or twenty minutes to do, the browser times out long before it's finished. Is there a way to get progressive output with PHP? Or do I need to re-do this in another language like Perl?

Real-time Chat

Real Time Echo'ing Of Var In A Loop

Real Time Form Update
i have a script that i wrote for my clan/guild/linkshell in this online game i play that keeps track of members, the points they receive from events, items etc. in the admin panel of the script where you can update peoples points i want to know if i can add a button or something similar that if you push it updates the points which is currently in another text box in the same form in real time. I'm sorry if i'm not being clear, what i'm trying to do it make it quicker to update a members points because usually after each event they receive either 10 or 20 so i want to add a button where if you push it then it will put 10 or 20 in the 'add' box in real time. right now when you edit a member it shows their current points in a text box and under that two text boxes, one if you want to add points and another if you want to subtract points. if this isnt possible then i assume that i'd have to make it update the points in the box and keep all the values from before and just reload the page with the new value inside the box. wow, i'm sorry if i'm not very clear, please ask questions if you dont understand what i'm trying to say.

A Real Challenge For Real PHP Programmers
<?php /* A challenge to every PHP programmer.The one who's gonna solve this problem would be deemed as PSP(PHP Supreme Programmer).The problem is this : You have to write a script that displays a list of categories and subcategorieslike this one: <select name="category"> <option value="1">Main</option> <option value="2">Main > Computers</option> <option value="4">Main > Computers > Hardware </option> <option value="8">Main > Computers > Hardware > PC</option> <option value="7">Main > Computers > Hardware > Mac</option> <option value="9">Main > Computers > Hardware > Atari</option> <option value="11">Main > Computers > Hardware > PC > History of Pc</option> <option value="">etc...</option> </select> The categories and subcategories details are stored in these two tables in a MySQL database. -categories : the categories names and ids. -cat_relations : the relations between categories.It shows which subcategory belongs to which category. The belongings between categories can go very deep and the number of categories is unlimited. This script will create the two tables and fill them with sample data. All you need to do is to change the four variables below. You can send the script back to this email : yasbergy@yahoo.com. */ //Here starts the script. Please change the values of these variables to fit your settings $user = "prospective_PSP"; $database = "db"; $server = "localhost" ; $pwd = "" ; //Connection to the database that you created mysql_connect($server,$user,$pwd) ; mysql_select_db($database); //Creation of the two tables : categories and cat_relations $categories = " CREATE TABLE `categories` (`id` INT not null AUTO_INCREMENT, `name` VARCHAR(100) not null , PRIMARY KEY (`id`), INDEX (`id`), UNIQUE (`id`)) comment = 'The categories details' "; mysql_query($categories) ; $cat_relations = "CREATE TABLE `cat_relations` (`id` INT not null AUTO_INCREMENT, `daughter_id` INT not null, `mother_id` INT not null , PRIMARY KEY (`id`), INDEX (`id`), UNIQUE (`id`)) comment = 'Which category is the daughter of which category'"; mysql_query($cat_relations) ; //Filling the two tables with sample data $cats = array('Main','Computers','Countries','Hardware','S oftware','Programming languages','Mac','PC','Atari','Winamp','History of the PC','IBM','Components','High level','USA','NYC','LA','Manhattan','India','Winzi p'); for ($i=0;$i<count($cats);$i++){ $sql = mysql_query("insert into categories (name) values('".$cats[$i]."')"); } mysql_query("insert into cat_relations (daughter_id,mother_id) values (2,1),(3,1),(4,2),(5,2),(6,2),(7,4),(8,4),(9,4),(1 1,8),(12,8),(13,8),(10,5),(20,5),(14,6),(15,3),(16 ,15),(17,15),(18,16),(19,3)"); //Now you can have a look on them through phpMyAdmin ?>

Community File Sharing Script

I've found some stuff at sourceforge but most of them are either not simple enough or are giving me a really hard time with installation. I'm looking for something that allows folders and files. any user can get to any file. As simple as possilbe, of course. Preferably, it would use a chmoded directory to store files, not a database.

Practical Reason For Single Quotes Vs Double Quotes
I've always wondered why - or even if there's a difference - for using double quotes vs single quotes in php. My code typically ends up with a mish-mash of both - sometimes I'll use: $tomorMonth = date('n', $tomorrow); on one line, and then, $arrMonth = $_POST['arrive_month']; on another line (or lines) Both seem to work okay - I don't seem to be throwing any errors - but my question here lies in the interest of getting the "best practices" usage straight so I can start implementing single or doubles as appropriate. So... when SHOULD someone use singles over doubles ... or does it make any difference to php at all?

Single Quotes And Double Quotes Showing As ? On Web Page
I have an issue with quotes showing as question marks on my webpage. I am sure its a UTF-8 related issue, but some of the facts surrounding the issue confuse me. The database is MySQL and stores the text as UTF-8. The PHP script simply takes the data from the database to a string: $desc = $info['description']; And the text itself, is in a HTML string in the database as: <P class=MsoNormal style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt>The Golfers will enjoy their favorite sport on the Golf course only 5 min drive from “The Vineyards”.</P> I am pretty sure that the original source was MS Word, and that the double quotes, in this example, are the special quotes from Word and not the ASCII quotes. When the webpage displays, it displays with the Unicode encoding. So, database is UTF-8, assignment in PHP is simple assignment without any form of stripping, tag removal etc. And encoding on webpage is Unicode. So can anyone suggest why they arent being displayed? In the above example, the latter part of the text shows as ?The Vineyards? It seems to apply to double quotes for sure, but also to some single quotes, as I have other text that displays as it?s instead of it's.

Magic Quotes -add Slashes To Any Single Or Double Quotes.

But when I enter this on a form input field (name="comment"): He's cool and post that on the next page: $_POST['comment'] and print. I got: He's cool . I thought I was supposed to get: He's cool since magic_quotes_gpc is enabled and it's supposed to add slashes to any single or double quotes. Why isn't it adding the slash in this case?
