Re: I tried stuff...

I don't find CI hard at all. But there's enough choice:
- Zend
- Kohana (originally started from CI I believe)
- FuelPHP (based on CI I believe)
- Yii
- Symfony
- Drupal (CMS, but does have a API for building upon)
- ModX (don't really know it, might be a CMS or a framework)

Re: php books

Different people learn in different ways. I really like books to get the general concept of things, while others don't.

Re: Which PHP framework...?

Not using the newest technology does not make a framework dated. A lot of shared hosting accounts still run 5.2 or earlier so always having your framework use the latest technology will not make it very popular.

Re: PHP Frameworks

I'm using CodeIgniter for my work and I love it. It just makes everything just that little bit easier, without adding too much. Had a very quick look at Zend and CakePHP, but never really tried them.

I don't really like it. The font does not really convey any programming or technology and the < and > look more like those ribbons you see popping up everywhere in web design the past two years.

Or:

Multi language:

	return strftime('%B', mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 0, 0));
}
English
function get_month_name($month){
	return date('F', mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 0, 0));

Re: === and ==

Think about it this way: in the URL you have perhaps something like id=4. How will PHP know the type from that as it might aswell be id=e4. So it probably handles a get variable as a string.

Re: === and ==

The === checks for type too. It's possible that either the get or the session variable contains string data, while the other contains an integer. If you know which one to expect you can use typecasting to compare them:
(int)$_SESSION['user_id'] === (int)$_GET['id']

Re: difference in these queries

In this case there's no difference since every condition has to evaluate to TRUE. If you want to make more complex check you need to extra ( and ) to separate different parts of a statement. You can also use it to make it more readable for yourself: if ((2 == 2 || 3 == 3) && (4 == 4 || 5 == ...

Re: Samsung is stupid!

Nexus S, no problems at al, just loving Android!

And wifi tethering worked out of the box, never tried USB tethering though. I did hear with the latest update the S2 does not support the USB host anymore, making programs like the much commented on dSLR app pointless.

There's no such function, but it would be very easy to create. What have you tried so far? Where are the numbers stored? An array, a string?

Re: caption under images

Do you understand how functions work in PHP? You define a function by using the function keyword. Next you call it by using the function name and any possible parameters in between (). You can use the return keyword inside your function to return something, or an echo to echo something out immediate...

Re: caption under images

You're defining the function _applyCaption, but are not calling it. Also, you are adding to the string $new_caption, but you're not returning it.
