If you have basic understanding of apache, then this article is highly recommended for setup: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/cgi.html I did setup this in my mac/OSx, was not easy to find info on web, hence I am briefing out the flow: 1) uncomment "LoadModule cgi_module libexec/apache2/mod_cgi.so" ( for me it exists in httpd.conf ) 2) edit virtual hosts file to look like this: ( for mac, it is in httpd-vhosts.conf ) Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all NOTE: "/www" is where my project resides "ExecCGI" is the option that has to be there 3) Below the directory closing, add this line: ( for mac, it is in httpd-vhosts.conf ) AddHandler cgi-script cgi py 4) Restart apache: "sudo apachectl restart" Now running your project should give "End of script output before headers" error in ...

sometimes you're caught up in a situation where you have multiple entries against an id and you want to keep only single entry against each. Table structure would be something like this: Table `temp` Entries: user_id tstamp source 100 4/26/2015 app 100 4/26/2014 web 100 4/25/2015 app 101 4/26/2015 app 100 4/23/2015 app 101 4/20/2015 web 100 4/1/2015 app 200 4/26/2015 app 200 4/2/2015 app Desired Output: user_id tstamp source 100 4/26/2015 app 100 4/26/2014 web 101 4/26/2015 app 200 4/26/2015 app Now, I want to delete the rows where source is `app` and keep the entry with max tstamp only with in a group. Here's the sample query to achieve the same: DELETE tmp FROM `temp` tmp join (select user_id, max(tstamp) as ts from `temp` where user_id in (select user_id from `temp` where source = 'app' group by user_id having count(user_id)>2) and source = 'app' group by user_id )t on tmp.user_id = t.user_id and tmp.tstamp != t.t...

If you want to access a private variable/method outside the class... here is a trick to do the same: class A { private $notVisibleOutside = 1; } $a = new ReflectionClass("A"); $property = $class->getProperty("notVisibleOutside "); $property->setAccessible(true); $a1 = new A(); echo $property->getValue($a1); // Work So, the basic idea is to - create a reflection class in php - make the property or method accessible - use that property to access the private variables/methods
