"Remember Me(session)" Several Ways! Which One?
I use to use a login script which would do:
session_set_cookie_params($thirdyDays);
session_start();
I would do this when the login was successful and then, it would remember the session info for 30 days and all i had to do was session_start it.
However, it doesn't always work, almost never works in my localhost, it sometimes works in my web server, I tried commenting the session.life_time or whatever, but that didn't help. And you can't always expect the enviornment you're working in to have it commented etc. Code:

Session Remember Things It Should NOT....
I use sessions to store information in $_SESSION. However, variables that are not in $_SESSION that I define myself is also remember between pages in the same session. What gives? Is $error_msg a some kind of global variable? So, I might have two pages, let say page1.php and page2.php. They both use the variable $error_msg and session_start();

Best Ways For Mass Mailing
I would like to understand which are the best ways to send bulk mailings like for newsletters and so on ( not spamming, always to receivers who opt-in ). I am not looking for code for now , I have found some very interesting classes and I also have my own scripts, I just want to know all the options available and why one is better of another . So, if have to send just a few copies to, say, less than one hundred people I can use the mail function, If I have to send , say, 20 thousand emails I will have to hire dedicated mail servers, but what if I have to deliver a few hundreds emails ? What is usually the max limit using my shared hosting before moving to a dedicated mail server ? What is the best way ? maybe splitting the delivery in batches using the default mail ( sendmail ) or by SMTP ?

Gettext Vs Custom Ways
Does anyone here have experience with PHP gettext functions? I'd like to know how they work better. Also, is gettext more efficient than serializing the language strings into language files and unserializing them at each request? I found this on Google saying that some guy sped up gettext, but I have no idea how fast it was in the first place: I was planning to just unserialize the appropriate language file at each page request and then use the strings kind of like phpBB does (language strings are assigned to constants and the needed strings are assigned to the template engine per-page). It seems to me that this would be easier to deal with than using _() and an English string to encode every string before sending it to the template engine.

Connection Security Both Ways
Supposed a visitor enters a secure (https) area of a site. They submit sensitive data which upon reaching the server is determined to have some problems. If some of that sensitive data is included in the output as values in a form when the page reloads to specify the problem, would the data be transmitted as securely to the visitor as it was to the server from the visitor's browser?

Better Ways Compare Strings: Exact Matches
I'm creating a lot of arrays. Some of the arrays carry words that get duplicated... For example: $aCities = {"Durham", "Raleigh", "Raleigh-Durham", "Salem", "Winston", "Winston-Salem" } I've been using stristr alot but that ends up meaning that I must take the arrays out of alphabetical order and in the end it complicates things on my part. I'll comparing it to the strcmp() function right at the moment but I ran into some difficulties with strcmp() a couple nights ago, along the lines of having to convert the strings in the array lower-case (all my arrays are currently stored in a ucwords() format). The dashes in the names also present a bit of a problem. The way I'm currently doing the comparisons... function GetCity($sSearchThis) { $aAllCities = GetAllCitiesArray(); // make sure parameter is lowercase $sSearchMe = strtolower($sSearchThis); foreach ($aAllCities as $sThisCity) { if (stristr($sSearchMe, $sThisCity) !== FALSE) { return($sThisCity); } // default to raleigh return("raleigh"); } What's the best way to accomplish this or is there a better way under the following conditions: (1) The item passed in IS a string (not an array). (2) A default string is always returned when no match is found. (3) The alphabetical order of the array must remain alphabetized. (4) The dashes are not required.

Alternate Ways To Pass Information To Scripts
This is one for the PHP-ilk that can sneeze better code than most write. Under Apache, and only under Apache, you can use the following snippet of code to get information passed to the script in a way other than get/post/sessions, which is passed directly after the script name but before the querystring, eg: http://blah.net/index.php/type/value/type/value/?type=value PHP Code:

Recommended Ways Of Passing Parameters To A Function
I have a function like this: Code: function show_categories ($cat_to_show, $number_to_show) { ... function code .....} I call it in this manner: show_categories (1, 20); However, sometimes I may want to show all articles from every category, not just one. What would be a good way to handle this? show_categories (0, 20); // use cat number 0 since we don't have anything with cat 0 show_categories (9999, 20); // use a category number that will definitely not exist show_categories ('ALL', 20); // use a distinct value Or is there a better way?

Ways To Tell If Existing Setup Is SAPI Or Shared Object?
What ways are there to tell if PHP is actually built into an Apache 2 installation or if it's installed as a shared object? I've dropped a file containing phpinfo() on the server I'm looking at, hoping the Server API value would give me a clue, but it just says "Apache 2.0 Filter," and I don't know if Apache filters are required to be one or the other....

What Are Normal Ways To Scale Up PHP's Default Settings For Growing Traffic?
PHP comes with certain defaults, set in php.ini. Among these, scripts time out after 60 seconds, I think. The default memory limit for a script is, I believe, 8 megs. I assume that when people do large-scale sites with PHP they scale these numbers up. If you have a content management system running every aspect of a large corporate web site, including a database back end that employees use for important, secret, protected information, then I imagine there is quite a lot of processing that might be needed for every request. A limit that I run into all the time is the memory limit. If I get a large amount of info back from the database, and then try to store the return in an array, it is easy to go over the default 8 meg limit.

Remember Input Value
I have a form, after users submit it, if they leave the required fields blank, I need to let them go back to the page and fill those fields. How can I remember the values the users already filled so they don't need to fill the same fields again? Is there any other ways to do this except using cookie? Is there any 'forward' or 'redirect' function can do this?

Trying To Remember A Function's Name
I am drawing a total blank on this... I'm sure that I've seen it in javascript or PHP... I'm looking for a function that takes a variable (such as an array) and reduces it to a string which can be reconstituted. I remember that it does slightly more work than needed because all the types were specifically indicated even when they were self evident, but I can't remember the function's name. There is some unencoding function to go in reverse.

Remember Selected Value DropDown
I am attempting to have a drop down menu that displays url from 1 table called links the same table also contains a name for the url. i.e. google.com = name and http://www.google.com = url The value of just the url from links is stored in a separate table called users in a field named search after form is submitted by user. Everything Posts correctly except when go back to edit the record and submit the form the drop down box does not retain the value of what had been previously selected although it is the correct record until form is updated when whatever value is currently in the drop down list will update the record. I know the code is doing exactly what it is told to do, because I have no functionality in it to recall the value from the field search in the users table. I don't know if it is something I would have to add to the array or option value. I can get it to work if it is all hard coded, but I am attempting not to do this. I am pretty new to php mysql and any help is greatly appreciated. This is the code I am working with that came mostly from a tutorial. PHP Code:

Secure Way To 'remember' Users?
So far, for my site, there's an option for users to be 'remembered' when they login, so they don't have to login again on a second visit to the page, etc. You've seen those before, they're on all the big websites.. The first version included storing the user's name and id in a cookie, which was checked for at the top of every page. If the cookie was found, its data was exploded and put into $_SESSION. This was a really, really bad way to do it (since a user could just edit the cookie on their browser, imagine what'd happen if I'd stored 'access level' with the data), but I was young and stupid at the time.

Sessions - Remember A User Is On The Site
I am building a members section for my site and I was curious what the best way to go about remember users would be. The site I'm working on is mainly an information site which will have the ability for people to login and view reviews on products and also allow manufacturers to login and upload information about their products. I was curious how I should remember a user is on my site. Currently, I have a $_SESSION[''] variable that remembers them but when they open a new browser it forgets them. Also this posses problems if they are still viewing my site but want to have 2 browsers open while on my site. Is this the best method? Also considering they login - they will have to relogin everytime they come back to my site. This makes me wonder if I should use cookies. I have never used them before. Would they be the best solution? Are they secure? Any information would be great.

How To Get Form To Remember Selected Option?
I am now trying to make a form remember which color (a select list) they selected before pressing any of the submit buttons. I entered this code into the form: <select name="color"> <option value="red">red</option> <option value="blue">blue</option> </select> The submit is a GET type. For example, if the user selects blue and then clicks on either one of the "submit" buttons, I want the form to remember/show the blue option. Right now the select list always goes back to red, the first choice. I tried doing a <?php echo $red; ?> and <?php echo $blue; ?> for the option value, but this does not work since the select list needs a value.

Remember Visited Links With Cookie
I've got a very simple, flat-file, private forum written in PHP for a dozen or so users. I want to be able to keep track of which messages have been read by each user using a cookie, so that visited links will persist regardless of browser settings. Of course I understand that if the cookie is deleted, that info will be lost. It's a low-usage forum so the total number of messages is low.

Remember Form Settings W/cookies
I have a sort script that i use to sort the results on a page. And the form sets a cookie and goes from there. It work all great. But the problem that i need to fix is remember the settings in the form. <form action ="list.php" method = "post"> View by: <select name="view"> <option value="title">Name</option> <option value="views">Popular</option> <option value="date">Newest</option> </select> Order by: <select name="order"> <option value="DESC">Descending</option> <option value="ASC">Ascending</option> </select><br /><br /> Per page: <select name="per"> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="5">5</option> </select> <input type="submit" name="sort" value=" Sort " /> </form> Now when you submit this form it will set a cookie with your "view", "order", and "per" selection. What i want it to do is after you set that cookie and come back to this form to have them settings remembered in the form. Basicly i guess add the selected="selected" to the option script in the form.
