I haven't looked at the code for years, but I may have been thinking
that the semaphore lives on after all the processes using it have
died. So, if you change the allowed resource usage in your php code
and restart the server, you want the new value to take effect and not
be stuck with the old value from the last run.

Hi,
I seem to be having trouble with the zlib support in PHP
and am curious if anyone has a workaround.
I am looking for an alternative to the gzuncompress
function. The problem with gzuncompress is that it needs
the entire gzip stream in memory in order to work. I'm
looking for something like is in the C API where you can
feed it many buffers in a while loop and it will construct
the uncompress stream.
If this is possible, I'd appreciate hearing from someone
who knows how to do it.
Thanks in advance,

e-commerce? You mean B2C? Can small business live from that? I'm afraid not! Maybe I am wrong. :-)

What? Large business are being affected because the whole networking business is in recession. It was over-hyped for all these years because of the Internet, so now everything is being brought down to the reality because investors took the money from those companies. So, every other dependent company was affected to some extent, large or small. I thought this was clear to every body by now.

100 years ago you could easily do business without a telephone. But what percentage of businesses today operate without a telephone?
A web presence with web commerce will become a utility like the telephone. Having it will be more important than measuring artificial distinctions between B2C vs. B2B.

Large corporations don't know you or care about you as an individual customer. You're just an account number to them. The only thing they care about is the "big" sale to other "big" corporations. But even then, do they really care? Not in my experience.
The networking recession is just one symptom of their disease.
Why would anyone want to do business that way? If I can find a small business that sells the service or product I need, that's who gets my business first.
If people ask how large my company is, I tell them "We're large enough to handle your business, and small enough to care."

Huh? That's a nice marketoid speech for you to talk Internet-ignorant people to get into e-commerce, but what does that have to do with my question?
Can small business live from e-commerce today?

Do you really believe that? As far as I can recall, this recession started when a "mean judge" convicted Microsoft for anti-trust practices. That caused NASDAQ crash that scared people away from investing in tech company stocks. Many Internet companies dried and without cash from the investors many went bankrupt. That affected all the small or big corporations that have grown and were dependent on the networking market. I don't think this affected much non-technological companies, big or small. So I don't think your anti-big corporations speech has much to do with this.

There are big players who have an eye on the open-source market right now, IBM being the biggest contributor. HP recently released their own Linux version on their desktop PCs and is marketing them as we speak. Microsoft is planning on giving away just part of their source code in their future products to software developers. Everyone has felt the heat on Open Source technology, and everyone knows it is the way to go.
The only thing that is missing from most Open Source products, probably excluding PHP, is user-friendliness. There are a lot of computer illiterate people out there that have gotten used to the click and drag features that make using an application so easy, but they never dream of going into a command line and typing in something. Right now Linux is easy to use thanks to the abundance of different GUIs out there, but there is no standard, like Windows has. Also it is harder to set-up for newbies than Windows is (not really, but for the newbie it's a whole different world). It is a new concept that users must grab in order to make good use of it. There must be a way that people can link MS-like features into Linux a bit more so that at least it will make it easier for people to make that transition over to a different OS and try it out. After it has the market share it needs, users will have gotten used to Linux or BSD or whatever and we can do what MS does, promote a bunch of Linux-specific features into the OS. By that time they will have grabbed the concept of "free" so much that Windows would sound ridiculously pricey (especially the licensing). MS can't afford to give it's OS away for free, just like it could give away it's IE browser and break Netscape. That's why Open Source is the first real challenge for MS in 15 years.
THEN follows the marketing, where everyone will be backing up Linux because of it's popularity and low cost, compared to Windows. And we'll see Bill Gates crawling on his knees and selling his Ferraris to pay his mortgage. Wouldn't I love to see that, just kidding. Until Linux gets better at certain things, I think I have no choice but to stick with Windows for now (especially in the design area). Anyway, that's my two cents worth.
Navid
P.S. -- When I say Linux, I mean all Open Source products, including PHP. Linux is just the driving force. And Christopher, keep up the promotion of PHP, you have some great ideas. I want it to grow as much as you do. Thanks :)

If you don't know it is because you are not very motivated to do it. So, the first step is to convince and motivate yourself that PHP needs to be marketed.
As for what to do, instead of suggesting new ideas, I would rather recall some old ideas that always seemed to work well.
For instance, provide PHP users compensation. It does not need to be financial compensation. It may be moral compensation as long as it is real compensation.
For instance, if I am not mistaken, Guido Van Rossum, the Python creator, sponsored a contest to develop software development tools with cash prizes. Only a few won, but the contest attracted a lot of people and was even mentioned in prestiged software development magazines like Dr. Dobbs. This required some investment, but if you look around you will not have much trouble to find a sponsor.
Another point is that they managed to get the media on their side. It seems that in the PHP community there is little effort to appeal to media. That is a major waste of oppiortunity because they can provide some much marketing for free.
One free way to provide compensation to any PHP user is to promote their work. 2 years ago I started a repository of PHP Classes of objects that basically allow anybody to contribute regardless of the quality and utility that you may attribute to what is contributed.
The point is that once users that anybody can have some fame to have his work exposed to a large PHP audience (over 40.000 subscribers), they want to contribute as well and the site grows thanks to the moral compensation that it offers to any PHP user.
There are other class repositories, like the official PHP PEAR repository, but the scope is different because the contributions are not accepted arbitrarily, so you don't get as many contributors.
Other than that, PHP resources sites like these should be officially linked altogether with things like Web rings. It would cause a much better impression to newcomers or ceptic people as it would make PHP more credible exposing the real level of support that the whole PHP community can provide. Unfortunately, the maintainers of PHP main site and Zend site do not seem to agree that it would be a good idea to promote other PHP resources sites with banners to pointing to them like what is done with Web rings.
Ok, these are just a few ideas that would help PHP to be better marketed. They are not new and have already been discussed before. It is up to the people that have more active roles in the PHP community to open their minds and pick them up.

Marketing does wonders. I should not need to to tell you that. One problem seems to be some people in the PHP community have some kind of aversion to the idea of that somebody can make money from free software. That way you are ruling out people that can do a lot of good to the growth of the PHP market. I think it is a matter of being more open minded. The more opportunities you provide to others, the greater are the chances that opportunities benefit your goals, in this case a a wider acceptance of PHP making it more credible to people that basically ignore it.
ok, that's just me trying to be more constructive. :-)

No, recesion on the "new economy" started as the fact that the .com (or dotcommers) companies did not develop with their market spectations. Shareholders then started to not give any more credit to bussines expectations and speculation stopped. Quarter after quarter with cash looses, and even worse "return on investement" expectations, made the shareholders move the money out of those companies and their confidence. It is the way the dotcommers made bussines and SE speculation what caused this problem.
Just as a point travelprice.com just announced that this is the first quarter without losses before taxes. It just happened that they have applied normal bussines strategies and bussines models.
Also the effect that this downturn is going through all the chain, from transportation to food and goods. And BTW most companies that caused this were startups not really big companies. Much more information on this can be found on the Wall Street Journal.

Even more: This person doesn't have the slightest idea of what he's saying. He knows nothing about the dot-com buissness, and why investment was heavilly done in that buissness, which was just vaporware.
DOT-COM is why NASDAQ crashed, not a mean-judge, who did the right thing.

True enough, for now.
Steam locomotives were an impressive technology, deeply entrenched with 100 years or more of history. They did not disappear from railroads overnight. But when the railroads realized it was cheaper to operate diesel locomotives, the end of the steam era was just a matter of time.

WSJ writers can believe whatever they like.
But I believe this:
Large corporations are like railroad steam locomotives whose era has ended. They may continue running for a while, but in time, many will disappear like the steam locomotive did.

hmm not according to Marx. ;p Anyways,.... back on topic, how to promote php and who is going to do it? Who is in a position to offer a coding competition like Mr Lemos suggested? Who has the $'s that is willing to support it? Is this something that needs to be run through the PHP GROUP?

Scaleability costs money. Yes, perhaps Java can scale. If I had a six figure budget, PHP would 'scale' too - more hardware. But how much are people willing to spend?

<opinion> PHP has many OOP features which are easy to use and beneficial, without the constraints of a more heavily OO system like Java </opinion>
I think error handling *could* be better in PHP - apparently they're thinking about a try/catch Java-esque setup in the next Zend engine. All is not lost!
As a RAD tool, PHP seems to have a pretty good foundation - it's FAST, to execute and to develop, yet flexible enough to accomodate some of the OOP stuff and other Java-like things that will be introduced. Best of both worlds, really.
I hate to bring up that eweek article (it's getting old now) but against Tomcat, PHP was 3x as fast. re: scaleability, you have to spend a lot more on hardware or Java middleware to be able to handle similar loads that you could just coding under PHP. Broad generalization, I know, but that math seems pretty basic.
Tomcat = 13 pages/sec PHP = 47 pages/sec
IMNSHO - "WOW".
re: modularity.
PHP can be extremely sloppy or coded extremely modularly. I think it's a shame that most tutorials on PHP (and ASP, from what I've experienced) show comingling of code and HTML - far more than we ever do in day-to-day PHP work. People get the impression that that's the only way to do stuff, and it's not. It's often the QUICKEST way for small projects (I needed a quick contact form yesterday and built one in a couple minutes with PHP. I don't think it would have been that painless under Java.) But we use PHP on some very large projects too - it requires you to plan ahead - but that should be the basis for any project, regardless of technology. :)

Often I have found though that those asking questions are limited in their ability to understand the finer programming methods though...
you give an explanation that uses arrays and functions and end up getting a "I don't understand" or "why does that do that"... and I consider those two the bare essentials for working smartly with PHP.

Of course, that has almost nothing to do with his choice of PHP (the language he could understand the easiest) and everything to do with intelligent business decisions on the back-side.
No VC. No "we'll make money later". Just great service at a fair price.

This is the most warped view-point I have heard...
The NASDAQ crashed when investors finally figured out that all the dot-coms they had sunk billions into never had *ANY* revenue at all, and no real plan how to generate it, other than the IPO scam itself.
At a certain point, even Wall Street realizes that there has to be some reality behind the numbers.
There was no question in my mind there would be a net-recession dot-bomb -- I'm surprised it took that long for the VCs to wise up.
Microsoft's problems had virtually nothing to do with the NASDAQ crash.

AFAIK, it costs a lot more money to have any start and operate a e-commerce business than a telephone. What is the motivation to spend that much money? Internet hype?

Good day and goodbye!
Maybe that is because I am not a native English speaker. Maybe if I change the word "caused" by the word "triggered" in my sentence it will be more accurate.
Anyway, other than that, I read the messages ahead and it sounds that most people really forget the series of events that started NASDAQ crash. Maybe these links will remind you what happen after April 3, 2000:
Bad news started here: http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2000/04/03/technology/microsoft/
The day after: http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2000/04/04/technology/special_techstocks/
If you were on vacation then and did not notice how did that happen, there's one more reason to blame Microsoft! :-)

What is "doing extremely well"? Do you know that from facts or you have just been told?
If they are really doing so well because they have a business plan with a revenue model, why do they succeed when others that also have a business plan with revenue model don't?
Would their model work outside the US?

All I can say to you is that there was "then", then there is "now" and later "we'll see".
Meaning, in the past PHP has grown its user base because it was advanced for Web development compared to other languages, now other languages are catching up, later we'll see if PHP will keep its popularity when there is nobody marketing it assuring that PHP is a credible brand as programming language.
Anyway, once in a while I bother to make (intentionally) constructive criticisms to the way PHP development and its community are going. Usually I get a some of "nay -sayers", tipically in denial, trying to contradict me. So, I am kind of used to it. Depite of that, it is interesting that given some time I can see some positive reaction towards what I say, although not admiting that I influenced their views.
Never mind, as long as people end up listening and taking some positive action, it was worth spending my very scarce free time. :-)

Zend's compiler doesn't really cost that much. If you look at it that way yes.
But if you get a developer membership to Zend ($50 a month), you get the encoder as long as you have a membership (min 1 year).
So really, you can get the encoder for $600....

Hi,
I wondering if it was possible to use limit on part of a query and not all.
this is my query which works the way it should.
$sql = "SELECT users.names FROM users, selection Where users.name = selection.name and setting = 'on' limit 1 ";
What I would like to do is put a limit of 1 to only this part -----> setting = 'on' limit 1 <--------------- and not on the rest.
You see, there are many users.name that have a setting = 'on'............I want, ALL those names , ONLY once..
How do I do this?
attached mail follows:
This is a sql question: Limit is limiting number of records that will come out of query. So, it would not work.
SELECT users.names FROM users, selection Where users.name = selection.name and setting = 'on' ;
you could use SELECT DISTINCT users.names FROM users, selection Where users.name = selection.name and setting = 'on' ;
or SELECT users.names FROM users, selection Where users.name = selection.name and setting = 'on' group by users.names

This sounds like PHP was expecting a variable name somewhere where you didn't provide one. Perhaps you left off a "$" before a variable name.
It might not be in your preg_replace call.

Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie here, so please forgive me if this topic has been discussed previously (I could find no mention of it).
I recently compiled PHP4.0.6 with gd1.8.4 and zlib 1.1.3 and experienced no problems --except! If you use ob_gzhandler as your output handler, you'll want to make sure any image functions you use in PHP return valid images for Netscape (I tried Netscape Communicator 4.7 on Linux, Irix and Windows and got "broken images"). Funny thing is, if you right-clicked on the image and did "view image", the browser would show it correctly.
After much frustration, I realized that using _no_ output handler (at least not ob_gzhandler) solved the problem.
I assume this is due to a different way of gzipping data in either PHP or zlib from previous versions.
I hope someone finds this information useful -- or can provide the "real" explanation, maybe even a better solution.

By the time you call your ini_set function, it's too late.
Try altering php.ini or .htaccess
Or, call ini_set, but then use parse_url($PATH_INFO) or something.

PHP will talk to Sybase just fine.
I assume Java will also.
If you don't know either language, PHP is probably easier to understand.
First, build your database in Sybase, and use the Sybase "monitor" to do a few queries "by hand". The "monitor" will be a command-line utility to let you type in queries and see their results in simple ASCII layout.
Then, read http://php.net/sybase/
You'll particularly want to focus on the functions to: connect to the database execute a query get the results from the execution
Be sure to use error-checking on the return values of any functions you call.
IE, sybase_connect is supposed to return an integer, but will return FALSE if the connection failed. So check what you get back, and if it's FALSE, print out an error message for yourself.

After you pay, you get some free support... At least, you used to when I worked there... You'll use the same system as the $180 folks, you just won't pay.

So on line six you are sending cookies? I only know from the 'header (Location:http....)' to make this problem but the cause is probably the same.
You cannot send headers after you have written anything to the page. Apparently something is already sent in line one or two? Maybe there is something in line 1 causing this, a space can already make the server start sending the page (starting with headers). I don't think it is the newline.
Make sure there are no white spaces in line two. If that does not help put line one inside the script maybe, as a #comment. Make sure the file starts with <? php as the very start.

Hi Jeremy, it's always easier for us if you tab/organize the code a bit so we get the overview. like this:
$result = mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die("Couldn't execute query.");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$uid = $row['uid']
$team = $row['team'];
$option_block .= "<option value=\"$uid\">$team</option>";
}
$display_block = "<FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"show_makeapick.php\"> <P><strong>Team:</strong> <select name=\"uid\"> $option_block </select> <INPUT TYPE=\"SUBMIT\" NAME=\"submit\" VALUE=\"Select this Team\"></P> </form> ";
I find the way you use the uid in various ways confusing.
You use it as the name of the select object, and in the query and it is possible that this also is unclear when you use the $uid in the next page. Maybe it is the right choice at first but maybe if you print the form again in the result page, or for some other reason do a query like the above before you read the result, the $uid may be overridden and obviously the value is then set to the last team.
Please have a look at that. Also, could you please give us an example of the select part in the HTML page? just the part between <select name=uid> and </select>.
Sidestep I don't remember why but in a code page i made recently i named every option. No idea if that is proper coding but it's worth a try:
$option_block .= "<option name=\"uid\" value=\"$uid\">$team</option>";
(note that the name is a fixed name uid and is independent from the variable uid, and again, i would like you to rename it!)
hope this helps,
Chris

mysql_query (SELECT proposalID WHERE proposals=new) while...... { $helpvar='FORM'.$proposalID; if (isset($$helpvar) AND ($$helpvar=='Yes')) {$array_accepted[]=$proposalID notify_sender('ok'); } else { $array_rejected[]=... notify_sender('refused'); } }
$query=" (UPDATE tablename SET accepted='0' WHERE proposalID="; for ($i=0;$i<count($array_accepted);$i==) {$query.=$array_accepted[$i].',' } #get rid of the last comma somehow... $query.=" )";
do query
same for rejected but delete these or mark as rejected.

If PHP succeeds in getting the mail through to your internal box, then it's almost-for-sure your MAIL SERVER that is refusing to send mail to the outside world.
Review your MAIL SERVER configuration carefully, and keep in mind that PHP runs as a restricted user:
Apache: Module: httpd.conf User directive decides who PHP is. CGI: httpd.conf suExec and/or User directive decides who PHP is. IIS/PWS: I_usr_machine name is the user, unless you're smarter than me and you can figure out stupid MS interface to change it...

Several. The first one is you didn't read the archives or look for pre-existing code to talk to SMTP directly. :-)
Manuel's upperdesign.com has one, and there are plenty of others. You could roll your own -- I did, so it can't be too tricky. :-)
Also, at that volume, I think you're going to run into trouble just in talking to the all the SMTP servers. I *BELIEVE* one major speed-up can be achieved by sorting the outgoing emails by their recipient's domains...
You may want to research how "real" mailing list software deals with this if you actually expect to hit 100K addresses.
If they're all the same email, you'd be *WAY* better off just interfacing to majordomo, ezmlm, SmartList, or whatever other mailing list software was designed to handle this.

That said, I'm going to tell you how to do it, so you can hang yourself if you really want to... <Deity> knows why, when this is such a Bad Idea <tm>...
You don't really need to involve Java at all...
Use http://gnupg.org
Create your keypair on a non-networked machine.
Text-export only the *PUBLIC* half of the key-pair and sneaker-net it to the web-server.
Make the keyring readable by "nobody" (or whomever PHP runs as).
Use http://php.net/popen to execute gpg and get your encrypted data.
Put the PRIVATE half on a *VERY* physically secure machine that *ONLY* people you trust can access. You probably should have a separate machine just for this, with an email address used *ONLY* for these orders. Put the private key half on this machine, along with gpg to decode it.
You *ALSO* need to have procedures and policies in place to safely get the data from the decrypted email to the PDQ and then *DESTROYED* without any risk of somebody else seeing the cc#s. Very, very difficult in any real-world situation.
*MOST* credit card fraud comes from retail workers snarfing card numbers from pocketed carbons. Now you're just making it easy for them.
If you like spending money for some reason (and you must if you're doing things this way) you could use PGP instead.

Hello Richard.
Thanks for the response, but I finally, finally found and fixed the problem. It turns out that PGP generates output on STDERR, even when you run it in +batchmode. This extraneous output makes Apache unhappy, for some reason. So I fixed the problem by inserting a 2>/dev/null into the pgp command to flush all the STDERR noise down the terlet. Works great now (whew!).
The working code is below, for those who are interested.

$subject = "Seekwit Message";
$from = "meisp.com";
$msg = "This is a vewy, vewy seekwit message.";
putenv("PGPPATH=$pgppath");
/* * the following code snippets work fine as long as the 2>/dev/null is in there * to send the extraneous output * that PGP generates on STDERR into the bit bucket */
/* * I think the following is the most secure way to do it because it doesn't include the clear text message * in the command line, so it should be invisible to people running, for example, ps -auxxx */ $cmd = "/usr/local/bin/pgp -feat +force +batchmode '$ruid' -u '$suid' 2>/dev/null | /usr/bin/mail -s '$subject' $to"; $pp = popen($cmd, "w"); fputs($pp, $msg); pclose($pp);

Why create an array and then walk through it? Why not just include() as you go?...
Also, this is pretty dangerous... A hacker only needs to manage to upload one file to your web-directory, and they've taken over your machine.
Don't do this.

The list of files simply can't be that large.
Why not just have a file in modules/common that includes all the other files in modules/common, and then edit that as you add files to modules/common, and then you can just include that one file.

In my case the server is in Atlanta, but I have to sync with my credit-card processor on the left coast.
So first i start the database (MySQL) on Pacific time with: ----- TZ=PST8PDT export TZ /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql > /dev/null &
---- To make PHP date/time functions jive, during initialization:putenv('TZ=PST8PDT'); // Server on Pacific time
No matter that i'm in Texas (CST), everything is now reported on Pac time.

Alas, I don't have this luxury since it's not my server, but one that is hosted with a web hosting provider. They control the setup and configuration of the machines... since it's a shared server I doubt I'll convince them to set the timezone to my location, thus throwing everyone else on the same server out of whack...
I can use the putenv() function though for use in PHP and then when saving the date and time into mySQL actually use the PHP date and time functions instead of the mySQL Now() function...
Where would I find the TZ codes to use for my area?

Well, El-sucko.
You'll have to use INT for your DATETIME columns. Then use mktime() to insert the NOW() value, & code around the MySQL DATE_FORMAT, DATE_SUB, & DATE_ADD functions and, umm, TIMESTAMP, UNIX_TIME ...
See if your provider will start a separate server for you, rather than you giving up most of the SQL date/time goodies ?

Hello, I am wondering if there is any way to limit the disable_feature command to certain directories, and if so, could I please see an example? Thanks, Andy
