    php netbeans character-encoding whitespace file-encodings
    I’m editing the functions.php file of a WordPress theme and whenever I edit it, even when the edit is adding a single space the server returns error:Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /theme/functions.php on line 1 This is where I add the single space:<?php load_theme_textdomain(‘theme’, get_template_directory() . ‘/languages’); <- I added a single space hereand everything dies after that. This is not a consistent error, as it goes away after I replace the whole functions.p

    php unit-testing sockets
    Greetings Stackoverflowers,I have an application in which a communication abstraction layer exists. Each implementation in this layer, called a connector, provides my application with a way of exchanging data with a connected peer (e.g.: through HTTP, TCP sockets, UDP sockets, etc.).Per example, I have a Connector_Tcp class that implements methods such as read, write, open and close.I need to write a unit test for that class. I know that unit tests should have as less dependencies as possible. U

    php tags fgets
    I’m using fgets to read a text file that contains field names delimited with the “<” and “>” characters. It seems like fgets is seeing these field names as tags and stripping them. I thought that only fgetss stripped tags and that fgets should allow this. I’m testing this with the following code:<?php $handle = @fopen(“Test.txt”, “r”); if ($handle) {while (($buffer = fgets($handle, 4096)) !== false) {echo $buffer;}if (!feof($handle)) {echo “Error: unexpected fgets() fail\n”;}fclose($handle

    php
    I’m not sure how simple is this to solve, but I assume I’m doing something wrong. I’m new to PHP, so bear with me, please.When I started learning PHP, I always placed all my project files into the same folder along with index.php and thus included everything like this:<?php include(‘./translation.php’); ?>Later on in the process of learning as I gained experience and my skill increased, I had to start using folders and place my files into sub folders. I ended up successfully including my f

    php string utf-8 comparison
    I’m trying to compare two string lets say Émilie and Zoey. Well ‘E’ comes before ‘Z’ but on the ASCII chart Z comes before É so a normal if ( str1 > str2 ) Won’t work. I tried with if (strcmp(str1,str2) > 0) still don’t work. So i’m looking into a native way to compare string with UTF-8 characters.

    php javascript html validation dom
    I’m looking for something like http://validator.nu/, I’ll be validating html input ( string ) and I want to notify the user if there are any missing end tags, whether a certain element can’t have a certain attribute, things of that nature ( HTML 4.01 Strict validation basically ).Sidenote: I won’t be dealing with XML/DTDs, and I don’t want to correct the user input like how http://htmlpurifier.org/ does it.

    I have a bit of a general dissatisfaction about the way passing by reference works in PHP, coming from a Java background myself. This might have been talked about before on SO, so I’m sorry if this might seem redundant.I’m going to give a code example to make things clear. Say we have a Person class:<?phpclass Person {private $name;public function __construct($name){$this->name = $name;}public function setName($name){$this->name = $name;}public function getName(){return $this->name;

    php logging
    Well…I do know it’s good to log errors when the website is in production and error reporting is off. But what should I actually log? I can’t log all errors, so I should to choose some most errors-probable places in the code and call the function with some message to log this. Should I use try-catch to do this? And is it actually the best way to do this?

    php validation date datetime language-agnostic
    I’m working on date validation for a validation library. A date format and a variable containing the date to validate will be supplied to the library.$validator->validate( $_POST[‘date’], ‘m/d/y’ );It’s pretty easy to do basic validation with DateTime::createFromFormat()if ( DateTime::createFromFormat( $format, $date ) !== false ) {// “valid” date }My issue is that with this method invalid dates such as 23/23/23 pass because the DateTime class will shift the date and set it to 2024-11-23.

    I found an unexpected issue while attempting to load a block within a magento module. The block name was *Mycompany_CustomerModule_Block_CustomerModuleDashboardDataBlock* (yes, the name is very long, but I added the module name all blocks related to the module to avoid confusing a dashboard.html with the one used by Magento Core).
