You are a safe sender. I received an email from you today about an unsuccessful application for tickets on 29 Jan.

@bbcshowstours I received a text saying I had been allocated tickets for the News Quiz on 15/01. Tickets still not arrived (checked spam, etc). David Powers (david@jpni.co.uk)

Thanks,Pete. It’s 13 years actually since the first edition that @chrisdavidmills inspired/browbeat me into writing back in the days of the much lamented friends of ED.

New arrival! #PHP ⁦@Apress⁩

The course was written with PHP 7 in mind. It will be updated, but no immediate plans.

Glad you found the cause of the problem. The BOM can cause lots of problems to PHP. It’s difficult to diagnose because it’s invisible.

#PHP is used in 4 out of every 5 sites that use a server-side language (w3techs.com/). I think it has a very strong future.

Make sure there's no space after Firstname in the CSV file. Although invisible, it would make a difference when comparing values.

Since you have access to @lynda @LI_learning courses, take a look at Export associative arrays from a CSV in my PHP Tips, Tricks, and Techniques. linkedin.com/learning/php-ti…

I presume csv2array() is a custom function. I suspect it's returning an indexed array of CSV data. So, calling array_keys() will result in [0,1,2,3...]. There's no need for a custom function to convert CSV to an array. Use fgetcsv().

Without seeing the arrays, it's impossible to say what's happening. Have you tried using array_diff_assoc() and/or array_diff_key() to examine what's different between the arrays?

PHP: Accessing Databases with PDO and MySQLi @lynda @LI_learning

There are tons of MySQLi tutorials on the web. I’ve also created a course for @lynda and @LI_learning.

AFAIK @Adobe has no plans for a @dreamweaver server behavior for MySQLi. You can buy MySQLi extension from @dmxzone. Alternatively, learn how to write the code yourself. It’s not difficult.

The mysql module was removed from PHP 7. You either need to downgrade to PHP 5 (bad idea) or switch to using MySQLi functions. Alternatively use PDO.

Thanks @SamDavePollard. Feedback like that makes all the effort that goes into building courses worthwhile.

Got questions about my #PHP Tips, Tricks & Techniques or Learning PHP courses on @LI_Learning? There’s a new Q&A tab that I’ll be keeping a regular eye 👁 on.

Wow. Comments like that make all the pain and suffering of creating a course worthwhile. 😊 @LI_Learning
