Here's a well hidden issue (and I blame nobody but myself):
I was writing what really is a very simple PHP script to grab a file from the server and download the file via a link. No matter what I did I kept getting an error from Firefox that politely informed me that it couldn't render the image due to internal errors.
I quite accidentally tripped across the cause .... somehow I

It seems Safari doesn't like the use of the 'continue' as an object element. I have a short JS script all neatly wrapped up as a JavaScript "object" ....
function obj()
{
function _continue()
{
do_something_here;
}
this.continue = _continue;
}
This worked fine with IE (7, 8 and 9), Firefox, Chrome and Opera; but Safari 5.05 complained that "this.continue = _continue;" was

Internet Explorer obviously has issues, but despite the fact it should be relegated to the trash heap of buggy software that doesn't perform nearly as well as its competition IE will be with us for years to come. One of the many issues I've had programming cross-

I've taken up using FlowPlayer for my web site streaming video needs. It's light weight, extensible, easy to program to and with, packed with features and available for free. If you want just a few extra tidbits like being able to brand your players with your own logo then a few bucks is in order for the commercial version ... otherwise you're free to use the freebie in any manner you choose (incl

Here's the scenario: you're clicking your way around a favorite commercial website looking for stuff to buy. Your mouse is busy filling up your shopping cart, but you really can't follow from product to product without pursuing a link that takes you from your happy hunting shopping grounds just to download information that really should be at your finger tips.
Damn ... what to do? Isn't t

Shopping carts ... developed sometime after the invention of the wheel and then not really updated until the advent of the internet and electronic shopping.
Two things I wonder about:
1) Is it better to use a session cookie or database for shopping cart storage?
2) Isn't it annoying when you have to click from one to another just to view you shopping cart entries?
Okay, so I do

Because this question seems to be frequently asked, and because I want to help make the answer easy to locate:
PHP code follows ...
$ch_post_data = array(
'property_name_1' => 'property_value_1',
'property_name_2' => 'property_value_2'
);
$ch = curl_init('http://somesite.com/somefiletocall.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $ch_post_data);
$str = curl_exec($ch);
$errstr = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
It really is that easy!
