Dear Evan,

Yours is a good mission to propagate PHP. I would like to be part of it.
Right now, I am setting up a website on Ludhiana (INDIA) naming
www.LudhianaInfoline.com Ludhiana is my home town where I live in. Ludhiana
is also called Manchester of India. This site contains HTML pages right
now, later I will be using PHP/MySql on it by adding more features.

I can put banner ads (of PHP) on my site pointing to Combined developed
site for PHP or to your page and also in the Newsletter. I will also try
to convince my fellow developers to do this type of thing.

At this stage, I can make this much of contribution only. But you will
agree that if all of the members of this group do things like this, It will
definitely become a major campaign.

Evan,

I agree with you. I face the same problem too and need a way to convince
my cleints.

$template="/path/to/somefile.inc"; include($template);

The variable substitution happens automatically (as long as $var occurs within proper PHP syntax, such as "<?php $myvar1 ?>"). Output to browser is also automatic. See <http://php.net/include> for more info.

I tried this print (include($filelocation)); returns true and prints 1

include($filelocation)); causes the template file to be dumped into the middle of the script causing errors.

I want to have a form template with some of the data pre- filled from another form and print this between a header and a footer. at the moment I have got it to work having $formdata=" at the top of the form template and all the " escaped, but I would have rather had the form template editable without having to mess around.

if I could get to work as in Perl I'd be happy, is there an equivalent of $1 in php

foreach $item (template) { $item =~s/\$(\w+)/${$1}/g;

Although I don't use squirrelmail, I have read in its doc that they have implemented their own version of gettext (and some other i18n stuff if I remember correctly). So I would suggest that you first find out which 'gettext' you are calling.

It helps if you install your development libraries in linux, including gcc to compile it. That gibberish is normal, especially during 'make' or 'configure', as it is actually compiling the program at that point.

Check your local distributions homepage for instructions on how to install your development libraries.

Great to see more discussion on this - it seems to crop up again every few months. :)

While I certainly share most people's enthusiasm and dedication to PHP, I'm not sure if credit cards and whatnot is the best route to take, at least to start with.

I'd start (a while back) a site called phpshowcase.com - I'd love for people to get involved with it (visit it to put your details in and/or email me privately for more info). It was started in reaction to many other 'large' companies (MS, Sun, Allaire) having 'success stories' on their sites. They choose a select few large/brand name sites, and do rather in depth stories on them. We've developed a number of sites, some of which we put up at phpshowcase.com as a testbed.

I've seen other PHP sites that simply give a list of 'who's using PHP', but they fail to get comments from the organizations, reasoning from the developers as to why PHP was chosen, etc. We'ved rebuilt ASP sites in PHP, and they've generally run faster, and our development time has been a fraction of the time the ASP version took. IMO, it's the stories like that that have the most pull - WHY something was chosen, what the benefits were (time/money/scalability), and so on.

A 'self-serve' site which allows PHP people to contribute their own info seems like the best of both worlds. Hopefully we'll get some momentum to get some of the larger sites as well as many smaller sites to contribute info such as site usage, development time/costs, hardware, etc. Those are the pieces you read about with respect to other technologies, and I think it's needed in the PHP community.

I would appreciate any feedback on this idea, as well as actual participation. :)

Again, while 'ad campaigns' aren't necessarily a bad idea, I think there's a lot that can be done by simply banding together everyone's success stories into one area.

Normally I use php as a static module build into apache. However because the versions of php follow so quickly I wanted to use DSO. When I compile both apache as php everything goes well and without any error. However when I want to start apache I get the following error:

>> cannot load /usr/local/httpd/libexec/libphp4.so into server: libclntsh.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file : no such file or directory

What is my problem?

Natural Breast Enlargement Can Happen for You.... IT'S TRUE, tens of thousands of women now have experienced an increase of 1-2 cup sizes and 1-4 inches to their bustline using BUST PLUS all natural breast enhancement herbal suppliments!

http://www.soupstone.com

BUST PLUS is a safe, natural and effective method to increase your bust line and decrease PMS and menstrual symptoms. It was developed by the world famous herbalist Angela Harris.

http://www.soupstone.com

What is BUST PLUS? BUST PLUS is a unique, all-natural formula containing a proprietary combination of 9 herbs traditionally used for natural female hormone balancing and promotion of breast size and firmness. Bust Plus is recognized for its results of larger and fuller breasts for the women who use it.

Does BUST PLUS Really Work? Yes, BUST PLUS really does work. After two years of studies and thousands of testimonials, we can very confidently say "YES" the product does indeed work.

How long does it take to see results? Studies indicate that 50% of women see growth in the first month, 72% in two months, and over 80% of women noticed breast growth after three months of use.

http://www.soupstone.com

Oh yeah and my favorite tale. an end to PMS!!! My name is David Fuchs and let me recount my PMS tale. My girl friend is the sweetest person on the planet. Except for 2-4 days a month when she has PMS and then she becomes a different person. I have the scars to prove it. Her specialty when she has PMS is throwing things at me, books, plates, glasses, etc. Five months ago I did some research on the internet and found BUST PLUS. After the first month there was a small change. I didnt get hit by any flying objects. After the second month she was a little grumpy with PMS but nothing like before. After the third month I didnt even notice that she had PMS. I cant believe The difference. The forth month she chased me around my apartment throwing stuff at me again ... her bra's... you see she made me pay for the 2 cup size increase she achieved while using BUST PLUS.

I have a PHP script that uploads an image, and uses ImageMagik to create a thumbnail. SO far no problem. The upload and thumbnail generation piece work great.

However, if I try to either unlink the image or do a 'rm' through exec, the image doesn't get erased. The images are created in a world-readable and world-writable directory (777) and they are owned by nobody. I've even gone so far as after the upload and thumbnail generation, chmod the images themselves to 777. However, I am still unable to delete.

Could anyone give me some suggestions as to what to look at? It's a hosted environment, so there may not be a whole lot I can do about it...

I am designing a site that will have lots of "stories" on it.

Right now, I am using MySQL to store all of the info on each story except for the story text itself. I am writing an individual text file for each story and storing the name of the file in the database. Is this the best way to do this or should I store everything in the database? I don't really have much experience with this kind of thing. There will be many thousands of records, and I don't know how well it will scale.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Dana

Well I would store it all in a database, because then I would not have to spend resources on getting the text from the file aswell as getting things from the database. And I dont think you run out of tablespace in the near future there can be from 2-4 GB in your tables (on linux systems depending on kernel) so there can be some text.

I am having problems with the Revoke statement. I add a database and give the user privileges with this Grant statement

GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,REFERENCES,DROP,INDEX,ALTER ON $userdatabase.* TO '$newuser''localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$newuserpass

But when I delete the database I what to take all of the privileges away from the user I have tried REVOKE SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,REFERENCES,DROP,INDEX,ALTER on $userdatabase.* from $newuser I get this error with this one 1141: There is no such grant defined for user 'test3456' on host '%'

and I have tried REVOKE SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,REFERENCES,DROP,INDEX,ALTER ON $userdatabase.* TO '$newuser''localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$newuserpass

The manual does not go into REVOKE as much as it does for GRANT so what am I missing hear. also I realize that the revoke statement does not remove the info from the db table or the usr table. How do I go about that without debiting a user for a different database. On the db table it is easy because I can do it were usr = $user and db = $db but in the usr table every host name is localhost and the password is encrypted is there a way to do somthing like were user =$username and password =$password(encrypted). Yes I could go there manually. and remove it but this is being done by a program in PHP that will remove the database revoke the privileges and reset all of the info in a customers information database
