There are 2 main advantages:

1. Speed! (Performance)
2. Node.js is event-driven and non-blocking and very good at [handling concurrent requests][1].




Here is a [link][2] to a benchmarking test for node.js against PHP on Apache.

I&#39;m using ASP .NET MVC 3 with Data Annotations and the jQuery validate plugin.

Is there a way to mark that a certain field (or certain data annotation) should only be validated server-side?

I have a phone number field with a masking plugin on it, and the regular expression validator goes crazy on the user&#39;s end. The regex is only a fail-safe (in case someone decides to hack the javascript validation), so I don&#39;t need it to run on the client side. But I&#39;d still like the other validation to run client side.

How are the `NULL` and *Empty Varchar* values stored in *SQL Server*. And in case I have no user entry for a `string` field on my *UI*, should I store a `NULL` or a `&#39;&#39;` ?

Can someone tell me why all this fuss about node.js ? Is a regular web site (lets say a blog) written in node.js faster compared to same written in some php framework? I know that a web server written in node.js will be faster than apache but how about a real web application that doesn&#39;t create threads or something like that?

I have a field in a MySQL table which has a `timestamp` data type. I am saving data into that table. But when I pass the timestamp (`1299762201428`) to the record, it automatically saves the value `0000-00-00 00:00:00` into that table.

How can I store the timestamp in a MySQL table?

Here is my `INSERT` statement:

    INSERT INTO table_name (id,d_id,l_id,connection,s_time,upload_items_count,download_items_count,t_time,status)
    VALUES (1,5,9,&#39;2&#39;,1299762201428,5,10,20,&#39;1&#39;),
           (2,5,9,&#39;2&#39;,1299762201428,5,10,20,&#39;1&#39;)

I was digging through some code, and I found some calls to `mySQL_fetch_array`. Is PHP case sensitive about function names? I recall reading this somewhere but can&#39;t seem to find any reference to it.

Are PHP functions case sensitive?

Actually I want to read the contents that come after the search query, when it is done. The problem is that the URL only accepts `POST` methods, and it does not take any action with `GET` method...

I have to read all contents with the help of `domdocument` or `file_get_contents()`. Is there any method that will let me send parameters with `POST` method and then read the contents via `PHP`?

On one hand form validation could be seen as part of the application logic and therefore belonging in the model.

On the other hand, it deals directly with the input coming from view and handles displaying errors, etc. From that angle it makes more sense to put it into controllers.

Which one is the right approach from the MVC point of view?

P.S my form validation actually consists only of writing a list of fields, their rules, and passing it on to a form validation library, which returns true/false on whether it passed validation or not.

Example:

    $this-&gt;load-&gt;library(&#39;form_validation&#39;);
    $this-&gt;form_validation-&gt;set_rules(&#39;name&#39;, &#39;Name&#39;, &#39;required&#39;);
    $this-&gt;form_validation-&gt;set_rules(&#39;email&#39;, &#39;Email&#39;, &#39;required|valid_email&#39;);
    //........
    if ($this-&gt;form_validation-&gt;validate())
        // Process data
    else
        $this-&gt;register_form(); //A controller action that will show a view with errors

Should this be put into a controller or model?

I have an app.js node application. As this file is starting to grow, I would like to move some part of the code in some other files that I would &quot;require&quot; or &quot;include&quot; in the app.js file.

I&#39;m trying things like:

    // Declare application
    var app = require(&#39;express&#39;).createServer();

    // Declare usefull stuff for DB purposes
    var mongoose = require(&#39;mongoose&#39;);
    var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
    var ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;

    // THE FOLLOWING REQUIRE DOES NOT WORK
    require(&#39;./models/car.js&#39;);

in car.js:

    // Define Car model
    CarSchema = new Schema({
      brand        : String,
      type : String
    });
    mongoose.model(&#39;Car&#39;, CarSchema);


I got the error:

    ReferenceError: Schema is not defined

I&#39;m just looking to have the content of car.js loaded (instead of having everything in the same app.js file) Is there a particuliar way to do this in node.js ?

In **Node.js**, other than using child process to make **CURL** call, is there a way to make CURL call to remote server **REST** API and get the return data?

I also need to set up the request header to the remote **REST** call, and also query string as well in GET (or POST). 


I find this one: http://blog.nodejitsu.com/jsdom-jquery-in-5-lines-on-nodejs

but it doesn&#39;t show any way to POST query string.

This seems like a solved problem but I am unable to find a solution for it.

Basically, I read a JSON file, change a key, and write back the new JSON to the same file. All works, but I loose the JSON formatting.So, instead of:

    {
      name:&#39;test&#39;,
      version:&#39;1.0&#39;
    }

I get

    {name:&#39;test&#39;,version:&#39;1.1&#39;}

Is there a way in Node.js to write well formatted JSON to file ?
