syredronningTime flies when doing little...my biology kicked me in my ass yesterday, and I hung around on my couch in front of the TV set with a hot-water bottle, trying to get halfway decently through my bout...sigh. In my next life, I want to be a man. Gay, if possible.
My PHP experiments are going slooow. Not that I forgot all my meager programming knowledge; it's rather that in PHP, you don't have variables just sticking around, but need some tricky ideas if you want to transport information from one page to another. When I began this little project, I knew it would take some time - I didn't realize it might really be hard to do it ;) (It's fanfic-related, BTW, but I will only tell if at least the prototype works properly, which might happen in a week or a month or...)
I should try to find new money projects already, because with the one winding down, I will be prone to fear of existence soon *feeling panic trickle*. OTOH, there is really no need to hurry *sinking back on couch* I live in this dualism of feelings since 1999, and I don't feel I get it in grip better over time. Money on my banking account helps for a while. But there's still not enough to feel relaxed.
A.q., snobby capitalist in training ;)

PHP
Date: 2004-02-05 10:23 am (UTC)The real problem isn't PHP. It's the fact that HTML was designed to be stateless. When I was fooling around with PHP my thought was cookies and a session ID. You keep the variables locally, while you pass the session ID from page to page to identify the user. It's not a perfect system, but it keeps you from having urls like:
http:// myserver.tld/index.php?m=foo+bar&n=ninny&p=A+Really+Long+Name&q=0&me=%26Endymion%26
and so on and so forth
