Just earlier on, I was working on a project for a friend of mine. The project was a php website that includes shopping cart, and some other modules. Well, lately i'm very into facebook and I was fascinated by their auto-growing text boxes. So i googled and found some javascript code snippets too.

They are supposed to be more mature, more understanding, don't have to throw and make Singapore look "less green".Ya green, in the sense of facial expression that i want to vomit.got one unit on the …

whoots. finally i got a peek at Adobe's new Creative Suite 4 (CS4). The only products I needed, and i've got them, are Adobe Fireworks CS4 and Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended. They both have a more standardized User Interface (UI) layout and design. Fireworks also has become smarter with all those object snapping and stuff like this.

It's always said that we should think out of the box. In any programming language, we should write functions out of certain statements statements.Consider this:<?php$arr = array(/* 10000 elements */);for($i = 0; $i < count($arr); $i++){ // ...}?>If you work this out slowly using a debugger or what, you would have noticed that count($arr) will be called for each …

I've looked through the PHP Arrays function list lately while working on some php scripts that requires lots of interaction with Arrays. It came to me that the following 2 are the identical:$value = end($array);$value2 = $array[count($array)-1];But which is more efficient?In a test, I tested both with a 1000 elements array.

However, I need to know that if one of the function that accesses the database fails, I need to do a rollback. Here's how we can do it:<?phpfunction addShop($shop){$ok = true;$ok = …
