* fun, because some of these Klango Programs are (audio) games.

Difference between logo and emblem - (the flag thing)
http://www.explainingcorporateidentity.com/brandlogo.htm
Coca-Cola's logo is their name in a special font, white on a red background that is very easily recognizable. This is called a logotype. The Cingular logo, however, is an emblem. A good way to tell the difference is to imagine how it would look on a flag. Would the Nike "Swish" look like a legitimate flag? Probably, so it would be an emblem.

is_numeric() versus ctype_digit()

Exampe--------------------------------------------------
$n = '1234.5';
var_dump(is_numeric($n));  // returns bool(true)
var_dump(ctype_digit($n)); // returns bool(false)
--------------------------------------------------

a-r-t: Bug in PHP's ctype_digit()
http://www.primitivetype.com/articles/php_ctype_digit_bug.php
info: The bug is that if you call ctype_digit() and pass an integer to it, it sets the integer passed to NULL. Curiously, when I try passing an integer in the range -128 to 255, it is not affected by the bug. The way to avoid the bug happening at all is to pass the function a string. For example, instead of calling ctype_digit($myInt), call ctype_digit("$myInt").

ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE

INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE - MySQL Performance Blog
http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/05/29/insert-on-duplicate-key-update-and-summary-counters/

example:
      CREATE TABLE ipstat(ip int UNSIGNED NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
                                hits int UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
                                last_hit timestamp);
      INSERT INTO ipstat VALUES(inet_aton('192.168.0.1'),1,now())
                             ON duplicate KEY UPDATE hits=hits+1;
info: If there is no such IP address in the table it will be added with hits=1 if it is already where (note ip is PRIMARY KEY) it would be just incremented and last visit timestamp updated.

performance boost: 30% speedup should be typical.

more: This example actually shows one more neat feature of MySQL - inet_aton  and inet_ntoa functions which can convert IP address strings to integers and back. This allows to save on field length significantly by using 4 bytes instead of 15

How to delete table name with special character

a-r-t: MySQL - query to ingnore duplicate insertion (where there's a unique key field)
INSERT IGNORE INTO
more:


MySQl 5.0 Reference Manual 12.2.5 INSERT Syntax
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/insert.html

info: If you use the IGNORE keyword, errors that occur while executing the INSERT statement are treated as warnings instead. For example, without IGNORE, a row that duplicates an existing UNIQUE index or PRIMARY KEY value in the table causes a duplicate-key error and the statement is aborted. With IGNORE, the row still is not inserted, but no error is issued.

more: You can use REPLACE instead of INSERT to overwrite old rows. REPLACE is the counterpart to INSERT IGNORE in the treatment ofnew rows that contain unique key values that duplicate old rows: The new rows are used to replace the old rows rather than being discarded
