important then it's content. So I decided that my first post in this section would
be about code conventions and standards I use during my sleepless nights of fighting
with PHP.
Few potints I want to make before going deep inside the code:
1. I always separate OO and Procedural c...

 Image handling with php in contact with mysql
It was about 1 month ago, one of my friends asked me for image handling issue using mysql database. It was funny that although he was not a professional programmer, he was experienced enough to fix his problem. After small phone talk i understood that there were many sources about it he had but all are a bit complicated beyond his needs.
After a couple of days i sent him two files including image insert and image get functions. You guess the next part: "Thank you"...

 Cron Jobs - Repeated Execution Of A Script
cron, the linux way to execute your script in regular intervals
it's fairly easy, but you have to have root rights on the server (if you don't have root rights, check the notes below)
This is not the linux guru way (they'd use crontab).
Just follow these steps:- check your /etc for directories like cron.*
(type find /etc -name 'cron.*' ).
On my systems I have
[LIST] - /etc/cron.daily
- /etc/cron.hourly

How to use sessions in PHP
As there seem to be many, or at least enough people
which got problems with session, I wrote a very short
script/tutorial, how to use sessions in the modern way.
In past PHP versions $HTTP_SESSION_VARS,
and functions like session_register(), session_unregister()
and session_is_registered() were used!
That's past!
Now we just use the superglobal (which means 'always global')
$_SESSION array to deal with sessions variables.

How to Send email using PHP Com functions
What is COM
COM is a technology which allows the reuse of code written in any language (by any language) using a standard calling convention and hiding behind APIs the implementation details such as what machine the Component is stored on and the executable which houses it.
