What are reasonable query counts per page?

I realize this is the PHP subreddit, but I am also assuming that many PHP programmers use MySQL in their programming projects. So that brings me to this question, how many queries on a single page is too many?

I always strive to keep the number under 10. However I have no basis for doing that, its simply something I try to do. I recently read an article over at AndroidPolice and notice that their query count (listed at the bottom of the page) was 81. To me, 81 queries seems like an awful lot for a page with an article and a few comments.

But am I being unreasonable? Is query count irrelevant? I would like to hear some input from others on this topic.

Question about scalability with file hosting sites

I am just beginning to learn about programming and have been playing with php as a scripting language to get things done that are rather simple. One of the things that has puzzled me is how a website can store seemingly millions of files and have a seemingly static link to them. Maybe I am just too new to have come across this in my reading but how do systems like imgur for example provide a static link to each file without revealing any complex directory structure? I am assuming that all the files are not stored in the same directory on one large disk? Is this the work of a good SAN or simply code doing the work of hiding the organization? I like to read but I am finding my newness to this a hindrance in my ability to use the right search terms in google. Thanks for any links or articles that can point me in the right direction.

A lone programmer wonders if they could get some feedback.

I'm sure I'm not the only one in this position. I've gone through college and Uni, worked freelance and currently working full time in a developer position, problem is during these times I've mostly worked alone and only a few projects were spent working in a team.

I sit here today forever doubting my ability because I've never really had someone above me saying "Actually, it would be better to do it this way." and someone to learn from directly in industry, someone to bounce ideas off (academics aside). Has anyone else been in this position? The thought that everything you've done during the years of experience and work, you still could very well be doing it all wrong!

Appreciate this is alot to ask but I'm just wondering if the good people of /r/PHP could offer me their feedback. I've written a straight forward abstract layer class for a PDO connection to a MySQL database and I'm just wondering if there's anything that jumps out that's clearly poor practice or something glaringly obvious that I'm doing wrong. All I want to do is improve myself, but I'm finding it difficult to do so when there's no bar.

Using square brackets on a returned array
I've been running into this issue a lot, and I'm thinking I must have missed something in basic array syntax. Usually I can access an array element with they key in the square brackets, but this never seems to work for a returned array value.

E.g., to get the first key of an array, this does not work:
```
echo array_keys($b)[0]; 
```
I need to do something like this:
```
$keys = array_keys($b); echo $keys[0]; 
```
Is there some other syntax out there for accessing array elements?

How do you architect in PHP
I'm generally a Java/Flex/AS3 programmer. I am on this project using PHP and I am noticing a few glaring differences between my past languages. The first being the loss of user defined class types.

Right now my biggest hurdle is maintaining the association between objects and their interfaces/extensions. For example , this isn't possible in PHP.

class Car {
```
var Engine $engine 
```
}

I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how to solve problems in PHP without my usual weapons.

Edit:Sorry folks , I didn't write that right. I meant could you store the engine as an Engine , then reference it throughout the class as an engine. Like so

public function turnOnEngine() {

$this->engine->turnOn();

}

Because the engine could an IEngine , Engine , or DiselEngine which extends Engine.

sigh

I got it,used this code

class CarVO {
```
//put your code here var $engine; public function setEngine( EngineVO $engine ) { $this->engine = $engine; } public function crankCar() { $this->engine->turnOn(); } 
```
}

class EngineVO {
```
//put your code here public function turnOn() { echo "VROOM VROOM"; } 
```
}

includeonce 'CarVO.php'; includeonce 'EngineVO.php';

$car = new CarVO(); $engine = new EngineVO(); $car->setEngine( $engine ) ; $car->crankCar();

It still doesnt feel right to not to have the class declaredto be something. . .

Selecting a default drop-down entry with PHP

Hi folks,

I am about as close to a total PHP/mySQL nub as you can get. I've taken over the upkeep of an existing site for my hockey pool that was built largely with PHP, and I'm getting a little stuck trying to make some improvements; was hoping someone might be able to guide my hand a little. Here's where I'm having the problem.

We have a database of players set up, with each entry containing information about the player (position, which team owns him, his roster placement etc). Our users have access to a form that allows them to edit details about the player (to change teams, salary etc). What I'd like to do to streamline the process is create some drop down boxes for each field so that they are able to select the information from a list rather than typing it in. I have the drop down working perfectly, but I am now trying to have the drop down display the existing chosen value when the page is loaded--so that the drop-downs don't return to the first value in the list every time a user edits a player.

Here is a snippet of my dropdown code:

echo "<select name='edowner' value='$playerowner'";

echo "<option>Team A</option>";

echo "<option>Team B</option>";

echo "<option>Team C</option>";

echo "<option>Team D</option>";

echo "<option>Team E</option>";

echo "<option>Team F</option>";

$playerowner is the value that needs to be preselected in this dropdown. I was attempting to put together a piece of code something like this:

echo "<option <?php if($playerowner == "A"){ echo "selected";}?> value="A">Team A</option>

echo "<option <?php if($playerowner == "B"){ echo "selected";}?> value="B">Team B</option>

echo "<option <?php if($playerowner == "C"){ echo "selected";}?> value="C">Team C</option>

It seems like it should work, but I don't know enough about PHP to determine whether or not that's correct. In addition, I'm also having problems because the existing quote is already inside an echo string that uses a double quote, and using further double quotes in the above PHP is breaking syntax. I'm not sure I really understand the single quote/double quote rules.

Long story short, I'm totally lost here. Forgive me if I am totally off; I really haven't got a firm grasp on the basics of PHP therefore I have no idea what I'm talking about, but any help is supremely appreciated.

Persistent classes in PHP

I've been wondering about this so I figured I'd ask here. Is there any way to have persistent classes in PHP without using session? I've seen people do it with cookies or a database, but that seems rather sloppy to me and kinda defeats the point of having the class hold it's values across multiple HTTP requests. Anyone have any tricks?

Trying to learn OOP. Someone tell me what differences there are between using well-defined functions, and objects?

I'm struggling to get out of my comfort zone and actually LEARN OOP. I just lost a great opportunity at a great business because I struggled too much to understand their OOP-based CMS.

I'm a functional programmer - not a very good one at that. In fact, I remember a website someone here linked that showed the various steps/stages/levels of programmers. Complete newbies, then people who know how to use their comfort-language to do, what they think, anything (this is where I am), then it drops down to people who completely understand their language that start questioning themselves, and it goes on and on.

So anyways, a functional programmer. I like to keep my code well-organized and thought-out, in well-named functions. At least I think it's well-organize, thought out and well-named!

Then I look at OOP and see a lot of similarities ... but quite a few differences. It looks like, basically, a more convoluted, complicated version of what I am comfortable with.

Can anyone tell me if I am looking at OOP completely wrong?

Also, cross your fingers for me ... I'm taking a dive into the deep-end.

edit:

Thanks for all the input guys. Some of the terms are still going whoooooosh over my keyboard, but some, like the human/knight, and suggestions to learn other OOP-based languages, tickle a logical part in my brain. I'll keep reading any more suggestions you may have!

Validating Identical Passwords with the Zend Framework
When creating user registration and password-related models you’ll likely need an easy way to compare the user’s chosen and confirmed passwords. Yet despite the Zend Framework having long supported over two dozen input validation features, it wasn’t particularly easy to compare input associated with two different form fields without breaking tier separation best practices. That all changed with the Zend Framework 1.10.5 release, which finally added support for this useful feature.

Google Powered Site Search with jQuery
By far one of the most requested features by Tutorialzine’s readers, is building a site-wide search. One way to do it, is to build it yourself from the ground up. That is, to use a server-side language like PHP and run search queries on your database, displaying the results to the user. Another way is to use the services of the one search engine that already knows everything about everyone. Yep, you guessed it. In this tutorial we are using Google’s AJAX Search API, to create a custom search engine, with which you can search for web results, images, video and news items on your site.

Ever since I started programming object oriented PHP I've been using function chaining and function dereferencing. But there is another thing I'd like to be able to do that was added to the PHP trunk over 8 months ago that still hasn't made it to the current release. The function I'm referring to is array dereferencing. Because I got tired of waiting for this to be included in PHP 5.4 or 6 I decided to write a little code snippit for this exact purpose.
