You know the meme, I'm sure.

You just described every alternative rock, punk or emo band that got signed it the last 6 years.

Sorry. I mean they are younger than 12, and they are of the discordant/noise genre.

And remembering my Google Fu I searched:
punkband *skull

Old Skull.

You know the meme, I'm sure.

You have to escape the escape. Basically, to match $ you have to match it to the escape string, not the escape value, because PHP escapes the \$ and interprets it as $ (EOL), so you have to match the string "\$", witch matches \\\$.

bah
~which

Oh, and only in double-quoted strings. In single quotes you just escape. So "$" matches '/\$/' or "/\\\$".

Anyone know why I can't get a string with $ (or any metacharacter) working?

$RegExpr = "/^([a-z]|[A-Z]|[0-9]|(\/|\.|\^|\$|\*|\+

Instead of learning all you can just stick with the easiest solution? I guess you are the dumbass.
As for "a problem when it's already solved" it's done in an all-in-one solution - bloated. Loss of flexibility. NO NEED FOR A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING.
But I'm still trying to learn it. Because I'd rather learn than stay ignorant. Like you.

No, its so you can use highly tested components that take care of common tasks for you so that you can focus on the problem at hand. This helps facilitate one of the biggest goals of modern software engineering, code resuse. Also, but using a framework, other developers will have an easier time understanding your code if they know the framework as well.

It takes 3-5 steps to do something I could have done in 1 or 2. Why not make a protected form to upload a file that then is associated in a database table? Then populate links in a similar manner? Rather than place file here, and here and here... To do something I could have done with 1 file? It's for speed, not normalization, and it's a mediocre scheme at best. but the problem is most developers aren't very good. If you use a standard of coding rather than a framework you can be more flexible and it will take less steps, but the problem is that very often people are sloppy and don't plan ahead. As for understanding the code, that's what comments are for.

Furthermore, I'd say that to properly use a framework, you must know the proper way to code php without one. You must know how to write sql so that you can drop down into it at times when your ORM may be performing poorly. You need to understand the patterns being used to understand how to utilize the framework. Frameworks are a boon to experienced developers.

Good point. But the first thing I think when I read that is there are going to be 20 times the number of people who are fuck-ups. It scares me.

I know how to write sql. I know how to write MVC code and how to implement a front end controller, but I'm not getting paid to implement patterns; I'm getting paid to write applications. Having a framework allows me to focus on the problem at hand while not wasting time implementing code that has been better implemented and tested by others.

I'll update once I get a meaning fully functioning CakePHP install/config made. Damn, 2 days, no documentation, all headaches.

This is precisely why others recommended ditching cake. It's documentation is garbage. That is the main reason I avoided it like the plague. You can get up and running with codeigniter in no time. It's documentation is superb, and its trivial to modify or to integrate third party components. It also doesn't force you to use the ORM if you don't want to (though the database connection layer is the only component you can't override).

The documentation is not going to get any better if people just ignore it. Yes, I am going to stick with CodeIgniter (had it DL'd before CakePHP). But no harm in knowing more than one way to do something.

That wasn't the question. I didn't ask which framework you recommend.

Fair enough then; can't say CakePHP is my area of expertise at all (I had one look at the documentation and went "fuck that"), but I would imagine that your problem lies with mod_rewrite. I vaguely recall you posting a thing earlier about running cake php on IIS.

Try opening a url like cakephppath/index.php/controller/ instead of just cakephppath/controller/. IIS has some modules that act like mod_rewrite, but you really need a host that either has them installed or will let you install them.

Two examples are:
http://www.isapirewrite.com/
http://www.qwerksoft.com/products/iisrew rite/

Let me know if I'm even remotely up the right tree here.

That other thread got deleted (no posts after a few hours I guess - I dunno, haven't been here in a while).

Yeah, I'm using a mod_rewrite that was on iismod.com (which is now down). I would LIKE to get it going with IIS (I find if you can set up something OpenSource in IIS you damn well can do it a lot easier with Apache, so just learn IIS first).

While typing this I was putting down all of the info I could, and I looked at the rewrite ini file more closely. THERE'S THE PROBLEM!

Whoever wrote them assumed that CakePHP was dropped driectly into wwwroot and ALSO they were using index.php?controller instead of index.php/controller.

I modified the rule to use localhost/CakePHP for any localhost/CakePHP/?anything url.
Now I have to modify it to just use localhost/CakePHP/anything for the rewrite.

Rather than using a full on linked list, would it not be easier to make your class implement PHP's iterator interface?

http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/en/lang uage.oop5.iterations.php

The main upside to doing this is that your class will be much more friendly with foreach statements.

No, not dead. I just had to work.

As for the iterator, I should have read the release notes for 5, but when you really only want access to one thing, and protect the rest, it seems that's not the way to go.

Hmmm...
I guess I was thinking too much like C.
Seems the references don't really act like pointers.
But they would if I used shared memory.

Well, I'll just swap values down for now, but damn that raises the Big O.

class Node {
private $prev;
private $next;
private $value;
private $row;

function Node($value = null, $row = null){
$this->value = &$value;
$this->row = &$row;
}

function setPrev($node){
$this->prev = &$node;
}
function setNext($node){
$this->next = &$node;
}

function &getPrev(){
return $this->prev;
}
function &getNext(){
return $this->next;
}

...
}

class NodeList {
private $first;//head
private $last;//tail
private $size;

function NodeList(){
$this->first = new Node();
$this->last = new Node();
$this->size = 0;
}

function addNode($value,$row){
//this works fine
...
}

function swap($nodeA, $nodeB){
???
}
}

It's been a while since I programmed in PHP and I'm having trouble with the references to nodes.

Basically, I call a function from one class and in that function I am messing with the nodes. I want to swap the 2 nodes, and not just their values. I want the nodes themselves to change the references to the next and previous nodes of each other.

Can anyone help out here?

This is the only function I have left to write.

You spent $250 on an outline, no color, that was poorly drawn. And for a Gundam? Does Gundam really mena that much to you?

Gah! They have much better beer brewed there! Why would they want this shit?

OK, you people are so inept it's actually funny, otherwise I'd be so sad that I'd want to kill myself.

In a world where you can't be yourself, where you must fit a mold or people will hold you back, where others are so repressed that they cannot emote and when they see others express their emotions they find it awkward and unacceptable, where familiarity tops diverse experiences that enrich the character and personality - well that world sucks. Why wouldn't someone want to get away from people that are close-minded while claiming to love diversity - as long as it's within their own diminished selfish list of acceptable viewpoints - and are so afraid of real emotions that they cannot stand their sight all the while hoping that nothing changes just so they don't risk being sadder than they are right now (hoping to find a groove where they can be perpetually blissful in monotony)?

Then there are those who are burdened by guilt and have no plausible means of redeeming themselves.

Then there are those that feel hopeless. They've given up, and sometimes there isn't really a chance (but most times there is, it just takes hard work).

Then there are those who are selfish and just didn't get what they want.

That last group sucks.
