how to configure .htaccess to such that I can have access to subfolders and subdomains in a Laravel project

I currently build most of my apps with Laravel 5.1 and host them on share hosting. The major challenge I have come across is that I cannot have access to sub folders e.g. http://ift.tt/1DpxEGu, also when I try to access a sub-domain for example admins.mydomain, I keep having Internal server error(error 500).
I need help to get over this, thanks.

Generate a date schedule that executes only on weekdays

I have a date schedule function in PHP which aims to execute only on working days. The code I have at the moment is generating the schedule for all days of the week so the while statement doesn't seem to working and I'm not sure why.

I'm a student, so I'm not very experienced with this kind of thing. Here is the code I have so far:

public static function generate_date_schedule($tasksperdayschedule, $startdate) {
    $schedule = [];

    $date = clone $startdate;

    foreach ($tasksperdayschedule as $numberoftasks) {
        $day = (int)$date->format('N');

        // Skip weekend days.
        while ($day > 5) {
            $date->add(new DateInterval('P1D'));
            $day = (int)$date->format('N');
        }

        $schedule[$date->format(self::DATE_FORMAT)] = $numberoftasks;

        $date->add(new DateInterval('P1D'));
    }

   return $schedule;

It is probably something very small I am missing, but any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Should I use Postgres's roles system for a web app's user management?

Postgres already has fully featured user management system. Why should I duplicate this functionality and use another one on top of that? And I think this is the right place to manage users & groups as it allows fine-grained control. Am I wrong? Is there some php libraries that already have done that?

Select box doesn't work

So I have a select box built with :

$form->addElement(new Element\Select("Existing projects:", "Existing_Projects", $options, array("onchange"=>"this.form.submit()")));

And here is the code to get the projects.But somehow it doesn't work.When I click on 'option2' option,it gets back to 'option1'.

$projects = get_projects();
$options = array();
foreach ($projects as $project){
    if ( $project[2] == $Existing_Projects )
        $option = $project ; break ;
    array_push($options, $project[1]);
    }
$options = array(10=>"option1",5=>"option2", "value"=>"selected", 6=>"option3");
//print_r($options);
$form = new Form("project-form");//"prevent" => array("bootstrap", "jQuery"),
$form->configure(array(
    "action" => "right.php?target=management/platform"
));

What is wrong?

Match exact word with any character regex

How to match exact word contains any special character ?

$string = 'Fall in love with #PepsiMoji! Celebrate #WorldEmojiDay by downloading our keyboard @ http://bit.ly/pepsiKB & take your text game up a notch. - teacher';

preg_match("/\b#worldemojiday\b/i",$string); //false

I want to match exact word containing any character. Like if I want to match word 'download' in this string, It should return false

preg_match("/\bdownload\b/i",$string); //false

But when I search for downloading, It should return true.

Thanks
