Initializing Variable Within a Loop

Suppose I have this loop statement: Code: int x = 0; while (x < 5){     int y = x++; } Does this mean the variable y is initialize every time we go through the loop? Or does it mean the variable y is not pop off the stack until the loop end? To put it simply, is it faster to declare y inside or outside of the loop, given that I won't use y outside of the loop?

Setting variable inside parenthesis?

Hello, I have a snippet of a page I'm working on that, if the if statement is selected, it would run this code: PHP Code: $beastdata['xpgiven'] = $xp; $beastdata['goldgive'] = $penny; $userid = $_SESSION['user'];  $query = "UPDATE `user` SET `xp`=(`xp`+'$xp') WHERE `username` = '$userid' LIMIT 1"; $qresult = mysql_query($query) or die('Query: ' . $query . '<br />Failed with: ' . mysql_error());

Stripping tags from PHP variable for PDF generation

Hi, I'm using a PDF generator (FPDF) to output a field from a mySQL db, which is represented by a PHP variable. This also appears on the page from which the PDF is generated, and works fine as the HTML tags which are inside the data are interpreted properly by the browser. Obviously the variable gets interpreted literally by the PDF generator so what's happening is that <p> and </p> and other markup (and also backslahes to escape apostrophes) is appearing in the PDF.

Help - passing variable inside of src

I am familiar with php, but not so much with JavaScript. I found a Google Gadget that basically gets driving directions that I want to use on my web site. Basically there are two text boxes: one for starting point, and one for destination. I want the destination box to be filled in based on a php variable that controls the location. In a nut shell: I need to use a php variable $locgoomaps and pass it to the javascript and use it within the SRC tag. But, being very new to javascript, I am finding this to be quite frustrating. 1) Currently this is being placed in the body of my page. What I have been able to accomplish so far is this: Code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript"><!--

MySQLi prepared statements for speed?

Leaving aside the benefit for security, does mysqli prepared statements have any performance benefit? As I understand it, the prepare stores the query in parsed form at the database server, and when doing execute, then only the data for any values are passed from script to database. Direct benefit would be that the database only need to parse SQL once, and that less bytes (only the values) are sent on each query. However, is this not only a benefit if the query is executed repeatedly inside the script, or does MySQL store the prepared statement between requests? If so, for how long?
