Is it safe to include the username and password in the url? I know nothing about is, and what th...

When and why should I use session_regenerate_id?

I read somewhere that using session_regenerate_id can help the security of the website. Is that true? How does it do that?

When should I use it in the script, just after a user has logged in?

And should I set the optional parameter to TRUE or FALSE?

Thanks for any help!

HTML to PDF converter - a free, good one written in PHP?

I am looking for a free HTML to PDF converter in PHP. I have been using dompdf, but it doesn't preserve cell padding or borders, and the pdf document does not look exactly the same as the webpage.

Does any of you know of any free good ones?

Thanks in advance!

<?=$variable?>

I found this syntax in a code:

Code: Select all

<?=$variable?>


They seem like the php start and end tags, but what does the "equal" sign do? I tried replacing it with:

Code: Select all

<?php $variable ?>


It didn't work. Thanks to anyone who can help me.
