Understood, I thought it was worth a shot.

Please be forewarned; rather than giving you exactly what you want I prefer to teach you how to get what you want. Knowledge is power, so take the time to learn PHP and you will be able to wield it's power.
If I just gave you the code to solve your problem then you will be back again tomorrow asking for more of the same code. So please take the time to learn. Thanks.

Yet another idea that looks good on paper but fails irl.

people don't go to or  read the faq/code snippet repository any more than they read the stickies.

Yeah, I believe I did. I don't even think I have the part I already wrote anymore though. If I get time at some point then I'll maybe take a look at it again. I'm pretty busy these days though. Sorry :(
Hmm too bad I am one of those who would like to see more tutorials concerning ZF. Like many said on this forum ZF has a steep learning curve. Any good atricle might result in more activity within the Framework board.

A sub query returns a result, like all queries do, and you can use that result as a variable in your query. That's it, essentially.

Wow, didn't realize it was that simple. For myself, it is hard to get my head around on how to use. Well thanks for clearing that up, I will just try and google a good tutorial.

Well, a scalar subquery, that is.
:anim_rules: Seriously... if people don't start reading this before posting, I'm going to consider not answering at all.

I don't really think making a strictly sql tutorial and posting it on a php website is really worth it anyways.  Not saying it wouldn't help someone out there, and it could very well be the best written one out there, but I mean still...I know if I were looking for sql help, I'd be starting out by looking for communities that specialize in sql.

True - though it's nice to be able to direct the questions people have to a tutorial you know is good.

News Feed tutorial
« Reply #84 on: May 20, 2009, 06:49:09 PM »
Hello,

First off thanks, great website very informative. I have looked every where on the web and I can't find out how to make a simple news feed based off a MYSQL database, just as you have on your home page. Can you please do a tutorial for it?

Thanks

What do you think about doing a tutorial for doing .htaccess on a folder? And maybe linking it with a user database table?

What do you mean with "doing .htaccess on a folder"? .htaccess files just contain Apache configuration directives. Not only does it have nothing to do with PHP whatsoever, but it can all be looked up in the Apache documentation.

It was just a suggestion. Thanks though.
