Should I leave the sensitive information where it is, outside the public area and not in the SSL area either?

First off, it would really help to know whether you're on a Unix or Windows server...

I'd use samba on the linux box to enable Windows file sharing, then just mount the exported share on your Windows machine and use regular filesystem commands.

If you can't do that, it might be...

Isn't that just what gethostbyname(), getmxrr() do?

Guess so. I knew the PHP had gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr(); I didn't know about the mxrr functions.

I've found that sending lots of messages with the PHP mail() function can be extremely slow, since mail() has to submit the message to the...

If you're running on a *nix box, I'd recommend using the command line "host" function. For instance, the command "host -t ns domain.name" returns the names of that domain's name servers. If it...

One alternative to using SSL is to encrypt the password with javascript and send the encrypted hash. For instance, a set of JS functions to convert a string to its MD5 hash is at...

I usually check to see if the session ID is in a cookie or in GET/POST like this:

If you're looking for a real-time alternative, you might see whether or not you can make an ODBC connection to the POS system. If so, you can use PHP's ODBC functions to access the POS system over...

Perhaps the problem isn't passive mode. It's hard to diagnose FTP errors. That's why I suggested:



Can you get a command shell on your web server? On both *nix and Windows servers you should...

Before foreach() arrived in PHP, you had to use this construct to traverse an associative array:



while (list($key,$val)=each($array)) {
echo "Array key $key has value $val";
}

...

Why?

If you really can't refresh the whole page, you could use frames to place the table in its own frame that refreshes once per minute while the other frames remain static.

It's more reliable, and usually simpler, to treat $_POST as an associative array where $_POST["fieldname"]=fieldvalue. That way you never have to think about the order in which the items were...

Not to be a pest, but wouldn't this be easier with arrays? How about something like:



$player[1]["name"]="one";
$player[1]["dexterity"]=0;
$player[1]["dodge"]=2;
$player[1]["strength"]=2;...

You might need to use "passive" FTP mode. See
