That's not the page - that's the browser (based on the
charset the page defines).

attached mail follows:

That's not entirely true. The most basic valid HTML document looks like
this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<title>Some Random Title</title>
<p>Text.</p>

-or-

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<title>Some Random Title</title>
Text.

That's it. Three lines. No HTML tag, no HEAD tag, no BODY or FRAMESET
tag. They're all optional. Of course, if you want to get really picky,
only one character is required to be in the TITLE; same goes for the
BODY, which is implied by the end of the HEAD, which is also implied,
and so on and so forth. ;)

META tags are optional, which means charset specifications are optional,
as well. I assume a default charset is sent by the server, anyway,
because my phpinfo() settings for my own server return "en-us" for
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, but I could be mistaken, because I never cared
about it because it was optional after all. ;)

This looks like a case of poor database design...

If you had a 'cities' table and referred to it from your 'restaurants', 'hotels', and 'clubs' tables, the query would be obvious. (It would slightly complicate the logic for adding restaurants, hotels, and clubs - but how often do you do that, compared to querying the database?)

While you're doing that, I would consider having a 'states' table too - reduce the number of text comparisons...

Luckily, a stop-gap is available... create and populate a temporary cities table, and get your data from that.

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE cities SELECT city FROM restaurant WHERE state='Bayern';

INSERT INTO cities SELECT city FROM hotels WHERE state='Bayern';

INSERT INTO cities SELECT city FROM clubs WHERE state='Bayern';

SELECT DISTINCT city FROM cities ORDER BY city;

... how's that?

Hi,

I have RH6.2, php4, MySQL and want to generate graphs with flash. I have done a graph with Flash5 and Micromedia Generator. This creates a .swt file which takes info from a text file and, i guess, generates a .swf with the graph. I want to allow users to type graph details through an admin area and then generate the text file with PHP. Problem is my server doesn't recognise .swt file and it doesn't generate .swf. I have checked Red Hat site and couldn't find a solution. It has to be that I haven't installed something but eaven after checking the Micromedia site I didn't find a solution. Has anyone got it to work?

Regards

Ajdin

attached mail follows:

Do you have Macromedia Generator installed on your server? It's responsible for taking the .swt and generating the .swf output.

You have to buy Generator from Macromedia. It's not free. (in fact, it's pretty expensive :)

There are some open/free alternatives out there, but there weren't direct replacements last time I evaluated them.

There's also the ming extension for PHP which lets you generate a whole SWF movie at runtime.

I don't think this is the "only possible way". I have used an html IMG tag, then created something like a rollover effect that called a php file for the image. It was kind of like a stop light, the light was off until focus came off of a particular form element, javascript then updated the image href with a few extra arguments, then the light turned green or red.

You can also use a javascript popup window to call a php script. I'm sure there are a few ways to do this too.

Here's the javascript

<input type="text" size="45" name="1_1_email" value="" tabindex=1 onChange='validate_email()'><IMG SRC="./trans.gif" NAME=animation width=10 height=10 align=middle> <SCRIPT> function validate_email(){ document.animation.src = "./image.phtml?email=" + document.forms[0].elements[1].value ; return true; } </SCRIPT>

here's the php

<?php include("get_connected.func");

// This script checks for the existence of an image file, and outputs it, // if the image is not found than it will output a generic image

$yes_image = "./green.gif"; $no_image = "./red.gif";

header("Content-type: image/gif");

$mysqlconn = new MySQL_class; $mysqlconn->Create($db);

$select = "SELECT COUNT(item_id) FROM mkt_question_response WHERE item_id = '".$HTTP_GET_VARS["email"]."' GROUP BY item_id";

$mysqlconn->Query($select);

if($mysqlconn->rows > 0){ readfile($no_image); }else{ readfile($yes_image); } ?>

FAIK the only possibility is to redirect to the PHP script. Then you'll get something like:

window.location.href="myscript.php";

Hmmm, yeah... Way-2-go!

The popup is the same thing as I said. You just redirect to a different (PHP-)page. So... nothing new!

And for your other solution. Very usefull. Especialy when you don't have images on your page! What are you gonna do then? Create an image from 1x1 that's transparent or something? Can't get any worse. That's the SiteStat/Nedstat style. Awful! Besides that... what if I want to do some _serious_ processing instead of 'drawing' an image? Then, if I use your solution, I always have to create (or redirect to) an image. Not to way to do it!

Actually you just readfile an existing image, how much processing does that involve? Not too much.

// The popup is the same thing as I said. You just redirect to a // different (PHP-)page. So... nothing new!

For future reference:

window.location.href="myscript.php"

window.open('./myscript.php','mywindow','width=400,height=400,scrollbars=yes ')

No offense intended, just wanted to show some alternatives. I'm sure there are more.

I didn't say that your construction doesn't work, but it's not the way to develop your sites. By using horrible constructions you can make 'good-working' site, but that doesn't make it a good site. You should always avoid using such terrible constructions. I mean... why creating an image if you never intended to do anything with images? Just because you want to have some weird construction on your site and you can't think of anything else, soon enough?

It's the same kind of construction. You redirect the user to a completely different page.

attached mail follows:

This particular application is designed to assist someone working on data entry, and is currently in production. She inputs 100's of mail-in reply cards into a database using a php webpage. The first field of the form is for the email address listed on the reply card. If the email address is already in the database, the person doing data entry will see an image of a red light, if the email address is not in the database the person doing data entry will see an image of a green light. Kind of weird, true, but exactly what she wanted. Why should the person doing data entry have to type in email address, mailing address, first name, last name, etc. just to get an error saying duplicate entry found? This way she can choose to replace the record or just skip it depending on the results (red or green). The changing image increases her productivty by decreasing time spent inputing duplicate data.

And also is one possible answer to the question, "How do I access php from JavaScript".

I fail to see how this is a "horrible construction". Solves a problem with minimal input from user, quickly, and completely. How is this horrible? Its a functional tool, that is used ever day with 0 complaints.

No sure how you mean 'calling' the script... but in addition to using something like

document.location='myscript.php'

It would theoretically be possible to pass javascript variables to a PHP script in the same way by using something like

var foo = "Some Text"; var bar = "Some other text"; document.location = 'myscript.php?foo=' + foo + '&bar=' + bar;

And although it's not exactly 'calling' a script from Javascript, you can use PHP to generate your script on the fly... handy if you need to do something with data from a database within a Javascript. (Not sure what that would be, but it might come in handy.)

Sorry I wasn't very clear on what I needed to be done by javascript and php.

basically i have a flash movie that calls a javascript function and I was wondering if I could do something in javascript like:

var x = "bleh.php";

and get some variables back but I soon learned that I could do this from within flash itself.

I use win98, php4, Apache, MySQL. Tried to set up php and mysq and apache under Suse but failed miserably.

* file security is different * in your code you may be calling some non-php unix function. * i have to be online to use the mail function (i then use the SMTP of my ISP, specified in php.ini). * i don't know IIS, i know PWS is not very nice and Apache is better. Until now the combination i use is remarkably stable.

No idea on COM.

I'm trying to run a script as CGI under apache, instead of using the apache module, because the module is safe-mode enabled and I need to bypass that for one script.

If you put this script into a file (.cgi) and give it executable permissions, you can run it from the command line

------------PHP CODE START------------ #!/usr/bin/php <?php print "Hello"; ?> ------------PHP CODE END------------

and the Content-Type header is added by PHP. But when I put it in my cgi-bin directory it would not execute from a browser - I got internal server error.

The error log said "Premature end of script headers."

Has anybody been able to find a way round this problem? Running PHP NOT as a module?

Those numbers are normal and are inclusive of SHARED memory segments, so will add up way higher than actual memory usage. IE, they have virtually no real-world meaning.

For sure you could read one row at a time, put it into a database, and do virtually any sort of operation on it you could possibly need...

Way more efficient.

They aren't really actively using all that RAM. It's shared. You can set max_requests and other fun things in httpd.conf to kill off the older httpd processes if you really think they're no good anymore. And if they're sleeping, they aren't really using much of anything anyway. They won't wake up until you have multiple hits at the same time asking them to do something. "Let the awake guy handle it" is their motto, until there's a request where nobody's awake and not busy.

Change your mind about that last sentence. Throw it into a database one row at a time, and you'll save yourself a lot of headache. The database stuff in PHP really is that easy, that you don't want to do anything remotely like database work without it.

My experience, at least from Oracle and SQLServer, is that very large tables (many millions of records) is not really a problem as long as you design and index well. Where you'll run into problems is when you try to join 2 very large tables together on the fly. This is where you'll need to do prejoins or look into the whole db wharehouse/OLAP design methodology.

So I recommend you use one large table with 3 columns (or 4 if you need the source file info or some surrogate key). This will be a much sleeker and flexible db design, and it sounds like you will not be doing any joins between 2 or more large tables any way.

I have to store a whole lot of text files into a database, each one containing 3 columns containing numbers and about 2500 lines. I was wondering if anyone knew which would be the best way to store these files, having one big table with each row containing the contents of the files, or making one table for each file and inserting each line of the file into its respective row in the database. The database will probably become pretty big and I'm looking for the option that won't slow it down too much.

Same idea as Perl, start with a shebang line to tell it where to find the interpreter:

#!/usr/local/bin/php <?php // your script here... ?>

> > I should compile the script first?

Nope, no need...

First get your PHP script working correctly...;-)

The use crontab to run lynx (as a browser that runs the PHP script for you).

Here's an example crontab line (works for me) that even gets lynx to handle an .htaccess protected_dir ;-):

5 5 * * * /usr/local/bin/lynx -dump -nolog -auth=userid:passwd httpd://mydomain.com/protected_dir//myphpscript.php > /dev/null

this means, I receive the file, but only the first 4188 bytes from 11988 bytes.

If I call the site with a BROWSER, I'll get the full file, but it is nessessary to have this page into a string, to read out a specific position.

what could that be..? where is the problem?

does anybody know such a problem???

i would recommend www.server.com/x.php?var=xyz as with a link as www.server.com you are relying on the server (by the way, which server do you use and is the error only at home or only online or...?) to find a standard file in the root directory of www.server.com. And i'm not sure the ?var=xyz is being passed on to that file then.

please tell us the error message and what do you mean by getting the file: do you mean you get any php output? where does it stop?

so, how do you 'call the site' else than with a browser? do you mean ftp?

AFAIK, apache (at least) will honor this syntax and give the arguments to the "index" file for the directory -- look in httpd.conf to find out what files are "index" files.

perhaps the problem with your script is that "index.php" is not being loaded properly by apache (or does not exist) etc. etc... (or perhaps you're not fread()ing enough of the return data back into your script).

there could be a million things going on... but, as a first step, take chris's suggestion and fully specify the filename like so http://www.server.com/index.php?var=xyz

Hmmm i have the same problem every time i install mysql and php and somehow it disappears after a while. I dunno what i did to deserve that.

$sql_host = 'localhost'; $sql_user = 'root'; $sql_pass = '12345';

So maybe the user toto is not known to MySQL? Read the mysql security section on adding users and giving them rights.

I have a function which returns a mulit-dimensional array, but the array which is returned doesn't "work" for some reason :/

If i print the array within the function using

it works fine but doing the same thing after the array has been returned jus yields -- Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in ... refering to $myArray[$key];

even though if i print $myArray[$key] it tells me that it's an Array :/

Nick, I also have noticed "weird" behavior with multi (or 2D) arrays. Read more on the manual board about arrays. However, I have finally figured out something that works. Be careful of you you define the subarray, assign values, and read the array. Here's what works for me:

Creating: (you could also use array_push(), but I don't think that is supported by PHP3)

$myarray = array(); $myarray[] = array();

Assigning:

$myarray[$i][$j] = "some value"; (j can be blank or i and j can be hardcoded integers).

Reading (this was the most tricky for me): returning $myarray[$i][$j] didn't seem to work (although the manual says it should). It seems to work when $i and $j are hardcoded integers, ie $myarray[0][1]

When $i and $j must be variables like your $key and $value, I finally went with nested for loops (this works):

function print_array2D($array) { if(gettype($array)=="array") { $maxi = count($array) - 1; reset($array);

for ($i=0; $i<=$maxi; $i++) { echo "<li><b>$i:</b> "; $subarray = $array[$i];

for ($j=0; $j<2; $j++) { echo "$subarray[$j] "; }

echo "</li>"; } } else { echo $array; } }

cool.. now i have the permissions set correctly (which is a great thing! thanks).. but i still get the 403 error... hmm.. you think it has to do with the fact that i'm having to type in the ip address of the server? the dns hasn't been set up yet to point to the server so i'm having to use the ip address to reach it.. but it seems to me that the default virtual host should at least show up when i put in the ip address right?

Hi,

I am using PHP to send a header to the browser requestiing authentication. On a successful login i am tracking inactivity by the client and want to expire the login once a timeout period is reached. Problem is if the session expires and the user just refreshes then the orignal login details are passed to the script. How do I get the client to forget the previous login details?

Hi there,

Well after a few hours roaming around various websites I am at a loss. Here is what I am trying to do:

1) Access a MySQL database which contains 1 table 2) Read the records from this table 3) Store the values returned from this table into javascript array elements, ie, if I get the values "dog", "cat" and "cow" back I want these stored in an array as such: myArray[0] = valueReturned1 myArray[1] = valueReturned2 myArray[2] = valueReturned3

You get the idea.

Problem being that I cannot work out how to implement the javascript section of this. At the moment my php script writes the values returned from the database to screen but I require these to be stored in a javascript array. Please can someone help me before I go mad :)

mysql_select_db($dbname) or die ("Unable to select database");

The thing to ALWAYS remember when working with both PHP and JavaScript is that PHP is Server-Side and JavaScript is Client-Side.

What this mean is practical terms is that when going from JavaScript to PHP you have to submit or redirect back to the server... and when going from PHP to JavaScript (Like you are trying to do here) you have to make sure your PHP outputs JavaScript.

So instead of printing $text you need to actually print the JavaScript...

So in your case change the middle of your script to something like:

$number = mysql_numrows($result); $i = 0; if ($number == 0) print "Error - No records found"; else { echo "<Script Language=\"JavaScript\">\n"; echo "text = new Array("; while ($i < $number) { $text = mysql_result($result, $i, "name"); print "\"$text\""; $i++; if ($i < $number) print ","; else print ")\n"; } echo "</Script>\n"; }

}

Note: This is my quick *untested* fix done by modifying your code as little as possible. I would suggest you use mysql_fetch_row and use your loop to parse it rather than making several calls to mysql_result (especially if you are ever going to have more than a few entries in the DB).

Thanks a lot for your help Sheridan,

This now appears to work ok :) but if I remove the:

print "\"$text\"";

line (as it is not required), I receive errors complaining about a syntax error (related to what?) and that 'text' is undefined. As this line simply outputs the value to screen why should this cause a problem if it is removed? Or could it be some other problem?

Hello, Using cURL: I have been working for some time to get my PHP program to login to an https site and now that it logs in I can’t figure out how to do a post to the site while I am logged in. After I use curl to login I do another curl session to try and emulate a form post. But when I get the results it is just the login page. Does anyone know how after my script logs in to a site I can run another curl post while I am logged in? Thank you,

Brandon,

I was told of a better way of sending POSTs without using cURL and it allows usernames and passwords to be used...

// Format of $authorization is username:password (for password protected directories) // Code can be easily modified to add input parameters for User-Agent, Referer, Cookie, Accept-Encoding or other required headers

function HTTPPost($host, $path, $dataToSend, $port = 80, $authorization "") { if(!($fp = fsockopen($host, $port))) { return "<b>From HTTPPost()</b><br>\n<b>Error:</b> Error opening network socket.<br>\n"; }

socket_set_blocking($fp, TRUE); fwrite($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.0\r\n"); if($authorization != "") fwrite($fp, "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode($authorization) . "\r\n"); fwrite($fp, "Host: $host\r\n"); fwrite($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"); fwrite($fp, "Content-length: " . strlen($dataToSend) . "\r\n\r\n"); fwrite($fp, $dataToSend);

for($result = ""; !feof($fp); $result .= fread($fp, 1000000)); fclose($fp);

return $result; }

Many thanks to Brad Jackson who provided this code to me.

Hello,

I have this code, which is a cooked down code of something bigger. So don't ask what it's for. The problem is that I can't get this script working the way I like it at all. Maybe it's a bug. Maybe you have another suggestion? Somewhere in the middle section i have wrote test1 and test2 as a comment. If you activate test2 instead of test1, then you will have some output(not the expected output), else I just see a page saying:"The page cannot be displayed".

I think it's very strange, any ideas? Try inserting this into a file and try yourself.

<? $side = 1;

function showkeys ($felt, $key) { global $newarray; //echo count($newarray) . "-count newarray<br>"; // //echo "<pre>" . $newarray[0] . "</pre>-newarray<br>"; //test2 echo $newarray[0] . "-newarray<br>"; //test1 };

I need to set some PHP values like:

php_value session.save_path /a_more_secure_dir

in my .htaccess file. But the main Apache httpd.conf file has:

AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes

and php_value in .htaccess causes Apache internal server error!

Now if I change httpd.conf to say:

AllowOverride All

then php_value works in .htaccess, with no error!

But as you know, using "AllowOverride All" in httpd.conf is BAD! How do I allow php_value in .htaccess, without it? I tried:

AllowOverride php_value

but Apache rejects it as a configuration error. :-(

Help, please!

Hi kids

I have a function in one of my includes: db.inc.php::getQuery which does most of my mySQL calling for me.

However, when the mySQL call fails, I get a nice error which is useful except one thing. It doesn't tell me which function called it.

Does anyone know how to find to do the equivalent of:

function myFunc() { echo "myFunc was called by the function $calling_function"; }

Any ideas?

Can you post the error so we can have a look at it? If it didn't provide a function, it's probably a parse error (missing semi-colon, missing quote).

Everyone,

*I checked to make sure it would be OK to post the following here so please don't mistake it for spam. I was told it would be more than OK!*

I help develop a text editor called EmEditor and we are about to focus development on supporting the needs/wants of a select number of communities. Our editor currently supports the development of over a dozen languages with syntax highlighting, auto complete, plugins, high configurability, etc. We get a lot of positive feedback but very little from open source-positive communities like the PHP community.

The head developer and owner of our company responds to user feedback so naturally the loudest communties get what they want while the rest don't. I've been a fan of PHP and I am very much interested in developing an editor with PHP and PHP developers in mind but I can't convince my boss to include PHP in our future plans if he doesn't hear from the community itself. Even the Ruby community in Japan makes itself heard!

To cut this short, I think this is a great chance for interested parties in the PHP community to have a say in the development of another editor that actively tries to make itself useful to PHP developers. Our editor is shareware so of course it costs nothing to try it out and start speaking up for the changes and features you would like to see. There are a lot of nice environments in which to write PHP but it sure doesn't hurt to have another choice.

Thanks, David Jansen www.emurasoft.com

Think in terms of output... The JavaScript is literally going to try and run the output of the PHP (It doesn't even know PHP exists). PHP is outputting the source code for the HTML and JavaScript. So what you are trying to do is get PHP to take dog,cat,cow from MySQL and output:

<Script Language="JavaScript"> text = new Array("dog","cat","cow") </Script>

This block of code does exactly that, with the print"\"$text\""; filling in dog cat and cow. I've added comments so you can see how each line produces the above (I am using C-Style comments as the // gets mucked up in e-mail)

The parts in [] are comments within comments to show flow control and are not output.

else { /* <Script Language="JavaScript"> */ echo "<Script Language=\"JavaScript\">\n"; /* text=new Array( */ echo "text = new Array("; while ($i < $number)

$text = mysql_result($result, $i, "name"); /* "dog" [first time] */ /* "cat" [second time] */ /* "cow" [third time] */ print "\"$text\""; $i++; if ($i < $number) /* , [first time] */ /* , [second time] */ print ","; else /* ) [third time] */ print ")\n"; } /* </Script> */ echo "</Script>\n"; }

So if you can follow that (just walk all the way through the loop for each of the three passes) you can see that no part of the code (including the print "\"$text\"";) is unnecessary

Hope this helps

Hi,

I am a beginner in PHP and I am trying to do the following: I have a form in a page that has 3 fields: email_1, email_2 and email_3. I am trying to send e-mail to those people, if the fields are filled. Relevant part of code:

<?php for ($i = 1; $i <= 6; $i++) { $eval = '\$email = \$email_' + $i + ';'; eval( $eval ); echo $email; } ?>

The code complains about an error in line eval( $eval );:

Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/htdocs/hthcombr/cgi-local/envia.php(19) : eval()'d code on line 1

Can anyone please help me?

Regards,

Felipe Coury

attached mail follows:

lots of things:

1) variables in single-quoted strings aren't evaluated so you don't need to escape the $ in $email

2) php uses . not + for concatenation.

3) try it like this: eval('$email = $email_'.$i.';'); or eval("\$email = \$email_$i;");

4) you can save yourself the trouble by using arrays as field names: <input name="email[1]">

5) RTFM! that's what its there for.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way develop client-side (browser-based) applications for PHP?

The procedure described in the manual will work on PHP3 only. It seems the "PUT" method is broken since the birth of PHP4. And I don't see the PHP devlpement team has assigned any resource to fix it. You must consider the alternative method to upload file to web server, such as the "POST" method, or other server-side script language.

Chris,

The prototype is a single user, 16 bits application, developed in Borland C++ 4.x in a Windows 3.x environment. You should be able to run it on the following operating systems: DOS 5.0 or later, Windows 3.1 and Windows 95/98. To get familiar with the way the system works, you could download the installation executable for the prototype and try it out. It will help you understand the system requirements better.

I was supposed to start working in this idea way back in Oct 2000, when I first posted the information about the project on the CU web site (10/02/00). Because of my full time job at the Admen. Office of the US Courts in Washington DC and other personal commitments (I will be getting married on Set 29th 2001), I haven't had a opportunity to spend as much time as I would like on this project . I will be donating as much of my free time as I can on the project after Oct 2001.

So far I am the only one working in this project (designing, implementation and development). My brother is not a programmer but he has a MA on art management so he has been able the help me in the areas of gallery and museum management. I would like the have other people involved in this endeavor, specially accounts and php programmers, but I think that there is enough work for anybody that is willing to help in any way, shape or form.

The reason I asked Tina to take a look at the information about my project, was because she help me with a problem that I was having running a php script in Win 95/98. I haven’t asked for help for the project on the php mailing list, because I thought that my first priority was to get familiar with php and html. Anyway I am very happy that you would like to participate in this challenging work.

I would like the code the released under the GNU- General Public Licences (GPL) as published by the Free Software Foundation, but nothing is written in stone. I hope to get ideas and suggestion from all the participants on the project in what will be the best way to precede in the design, implementation and development of this application.

Please, let me know what are your thoughts regarding the information you have seen so far.

Adios, miguel

Hello everyone-

(skip to the *****'s to see the questions if you don't want to read all of this thanks)

This might be a little off topic here but I really need some help and a great opionion on this matter. Here's the situation, I have created this software in php and mysql. What it is is it has user authetification, event calendar for several web sites, a personal calendar for each user of the calendar, and a company calendar. I'm hoping that I can get to a point soon to release this under the gpl and have the open source community help develope the software, if they wish.

What I'm using this software for... The company I work for only has one developer (me :) ) and they have 6 web sites they want done. So what I have done is created this software so that I can enter all the employee's of the company and then give them access to the sections they need. For example, human resources has access to add new employee's, delete employee's, and update employee's information. The average user has access to a personal calendar in which they can add events give the event a time, a name, and a description. Also, the average user has the ablity to chance certain things about their own profile.. i.e. address, phone #s etc.

Now people who I give access can have access to the event calendars for each website and they will be able to add events, delete events, and update events. The options when adding an event is the event name, the category of the event (i.e. concert, on location promo etc), where the event is being held, the person to contact for the event, time of the event, price of the event, the description of the event, and an option to either show the event on the web or not.

Also, the admin has the ability to add new "modules" to the software and then give access to whomever he/she see needs access to it. Lastly, there is a huge help file that is generated dynamically when you add these new "modules."

(sorry about the lenght of this but it's necessary)

Now here's the evil twist of fate...

There's a company who has some calendar software that has a TON of features that I don't have in my software (as of yet). However, they are a total Microsoft shop running all their code in VB, ASP, and their DB is MSSQL 7. I really don't like the fact that they use Microsoft because I am going to be the one to administer the box this is going to be running on (would much rather run unix set it up once and leave it alone, unlike Microsoft where you have to babysit the damn thing).

Now I've been talking with these people and they pretty much refuse to move any of their code to php, mysql, or any varient of unix because it wouldn't be cost effective to them right now (they said that they might do it later when they can hire a team to convert all the code over to it).

Here's the thing.. I've been working on this software for about 4 months now so I really want to use it, but the big guns here in the company want to use this other ASP Microsoft stuff that has a ton more features. If we go with ASP crap, I'm going to have to learn ASP and VB (I'm assuming most DB's are the same so learning MSSQL 7 wouldn't be too hard) and I'm going to have to babysit the Win2k server, which is something else I don't want to do.

***** So with all this said I'm wondering just how welcome you think this software would be in the open source community? Is there a need for something like I have and am still developing? Do you all think that I could get some more developers to work on this software to make it even more powerful than it is now?

The reason why I ask these qestions is I don't want to go with Micro$oft, throw away 4 months of work, and have to learn entirely new stuff.

Any suggestions or help would be great! Thanks SO much! Jay Paulson Internet Program Director LBJS jpaulsonlbjs.com

IMO I would have to say it depends on the Timeline of your Boss. Releasing the app to the open source community would be great, the more there is, the more reason for people to stop using MS, but you can't demand a schedule of when new features will be added. You may have to go with the MS for now, and wait for your app to be developed with the new features, then convince your boss on moving to your software. You should be able to move all the data from one to the other without to much trouble.

Why would people move away from a package they paid for already? Especially if it's backed up by another company - I'm guessing there's probably some maintenance contracts they will be signing.

I'd suggest you (Jay) look at some other OS projects which may be more full-featured already, and show those. Chris is right - it depends somewhat on a timeline. But there's going to have to be some custom work to get things "just right", OR they will need to adapt the business to the software, instead of the software to the business. (which costs more in the long run?)

re: Windows - I think you're being a bit hard on it. As much as I support Linux, etc., after a few weeks of teething a Windows setup, we've had it up and running without any major incidents in over a year. (SQL7)

re: featureset - what kind of features do you not have that this other package has?

Do you already have SQL7 in house? If not, you'll need to purchase SQL2000, which "seems" to be $5k. If you do named licensing, it may be a bit cheaper - depends on your company size. Plus the cost of the Win machine, if you don't already have that. Figure an extra $6k on top of the cost of the software. Is it worth $6k to have something next week, or can they wait another month while you feverishly add the missing features - "exactly to spec" - for a custom fit?

Well I know they aren't going to want to spend $11k on all that new stuff.. when what I have cost them nothing at all.. :) however, the company I'm talking to is willing to deal and since I work for 6 radio stations they would probably be willing to trade some advertisement on the air for their software and SQL 7 etc.. however, I don't know if my bosses would be willing to do that since mine doesn't have as many features (but will in the future).. the big thing here is how much is it going to cost.. that's the bottom line.. I'll just have to talk to them but I did want to get the input of the open source community first so I could have something to back up why we could use what I have developed instead of the other company's software.

Could someone point me to any information regarding connecting PHP on linux to connecting to a separate server running Sybase on linux. To be more specific, it's the Sybase that ships with Intershop 4.2

Hi Kurth, and others

I adjusted your code for the purpose of my site (replacing he values in the array and the homepage address, etc) ... but when I plugged it into a page for testing; i got the following results:

Location : Home / Warning: Undefined variable: link in visitheadnav-1.inc on line 70 Besucher / Warning: Undefined index: support.php3 in visitheadnav-1.inc on line 68 Warning: Undefined variable: title in visitheadnav-1.inc on line 73

The code is part of an include file named "visitheadnav-1.inc" ... and apparently there is some "link" there in the code which is "an undefined variable" ... but I have no idea what this error message is about :-( The results "Home/" and "Besucher/" are actually correct ... it's just the "undefined link" problem I need to get figured out ... Here's the code I inserted into my visitheadnav-1.inc:

<p class="fn8">Location : <a href="http://www.bibelcenter.de.">Home</a> / <?php $patharray = explode ("/",$SCRIPT_NAME); $scriptname = basename($SCRIPT_NAME); for ($dirsi = 1; $dirsi < count($patharray); $dirsi++) { $dirs = array( 'visitor' => 'Besucher', 'info' => 'Information', 'bibel' => 'Bibelarbeit', 'bibliothek' => 'Bibliothek', 'gebet' => 'Gebetsraum', 'links' => 'Internet Links', 'kids' => 'Kinderecke', 'shop' => 'Bookshop' );

$linkdes = $dirs[$patharray[$dirsi]]; $link = $link . "/$patharray[$dirsi]"; if ($patharray[$dirsi] == $scriptname){ $linkdes = $title; $slash = ""; $linkhtml = "<a href=\"$link\">$linkdes</a>$slash"; if ($patharray[$dirsi] == "index.php"){ $link = ""; $linkdes = ""; $slash = ""; $linkhtml = ""; } }else{ $slash = " / "; $linkhtml = "<a href=\"$link\">$linkdes</a>$slash"; } echo $linkhtml; } ?></p>

Any ideas, what may be wrong and causing these error messages?

Ok here is the story : I got a php script that comunicates with a game server (Half-life). This script uses socket_set_timeout. But the build of php i downloaded doesn't support socket_set_timeout(). So i started to modify the script to do without. Here is the prob : the script use the socket as blockant. But without socket_set_timeout it could be a problem.So i try with a non-blockant socket but i don't get any response from the game server. Here is a portion of the code :

if (!$cssocket=fsockopen("udp://".$serveraddress,$portnumber,$errnr)) { $this->errmsg="No connection"; return ""; }

socket_set_blocking($cssocket,false); fwrite($cssocket,$command,strlen($command));

// sleep(1); do { $data=fread($cssocket,1024); $serverdata.=$data; $serverdatalen=strlen($serverdata); $socketstatus=socket_get_status($cssocket); // } while ($socketstatus["unread_bytes"] ); } while (time()-$starttime<5 );

The main prob is that : in blockant mode it works fine. In non-blockant mode i don't receive anything. But if i do a sleep(1) before the first read (the commented line) then it works..

Another way of the problem : loop { readdata from socket; append to data akready read; } while moredata or not_timed_out

In blockant mode it works. In non-blockant mode i never receive something !! WHY ??

I understand why it works in blockant mode : the read function waits untill the has arrived. But in non-blockant the read function should return the data already arrived then return. And the second time i launch it, it should give me the data that arrived since the last time.

I think i missed something, but i cannot see what.

Please help me.

Sorry about my English, it's not my main language... :)

Hi All,

I was wondering if it is possible to access dinamically to the members of a class. I mean to access like:

---------------------- class foo { var $bar; var $barbar; }

... ...

$foo_instance = new foo; $somevar = $foo->$anothervar; -----------------------------

I now this doesn't work, and have searched the manual and haven't found anything on it. I doubt it since this is more or less the work of the Arrays and not the way a class should behave. Anyway any ideas? thanks in advance.

Hi,

The code below is actually code to access an object's member. That's fine as long as you give the name of the member at the time you write the code. What I am interested is to know if the members name might be a variable, I mean not hardcoded but a variable useful for loops, etc.

Thanks.
