Read the download page, it tells you what you need to open it.

Also, you're the one with the username 'r'. Now whenever I write a
message, every single 'r' in it is underlined with a #$%#$% "Smart
Tag"... :) That's annoying.

BBEdit is the sweetest thing going. You won't regret it.

If you're using OSX, you can invoke it from the command line, and it's
quite scriptable. You can use the same regular expressions in its
search-and-replace that you use in PHP's ereg family of functions, saving
precious brain cells. It's a beautiful junction between the Mackey and
Unixey halves of the machine.

Before you get carried away with registering globals, try echoing:
$_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];

Or, for versions prior to 4.1.X, change that to:
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];

Registering globals is insecure unless you are VERY careful about how every variable you have is
defined...

Read these:

Variables from outside PHP: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php

It gives an example using $HTTP_POST_VARS. This is but one predefined variable, others can be read about here:

Predefined Variables: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php

Also consider extract and import_request_variables, I posted a bit about them awhile back here:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=101803683730027

And when in doubt, send your script to a call of phpinfo() and it'll provide a ton of useful information.

Just curious as to what the best way is to move someone off your site, apart from bringing up a picture of male pornography...

Hello PHP Team !

I was wondering if the latest PHP release had any improved support for SSL and secure connections.

Are there any plans to add (or enhance) SSL support in PHP? I am looking for something like, being able to use HTTPS with the FILE() function, and other functions in that family.

It's a bit hard to convince hosting companies to install CURL or LYNX on their systems. I was wondering if PHP had a workaround for that.

Thanks for a great product! -john

Hi Y'all...

Ok. I just got Apache 1.3.xx and I have PHP4.1.1 and MySQL 3.23.47 on WinXP Pro...

I am currently using IIS5.1 with PHP4 and MySQL but I'd like to move across to Apache..

Catch is? I have hunted through all the FAQ's for Apache and there is no mention of how-to configure Apache to actually execute PHP's...

So I went into the PHP doc's and there is a small mention.. So I finally get the php's to run..

BUT.. when I call $SERVER_NAME in my php's like I always have.. The variable seems to no longer exist... what gives??

Thanks all.. I am sure it's just a name change or something that Apache uses.. Or maybe I have to register the PHP global var's somehow through Apache?? don't really know..

Anyway thanks a heap in a advance because I'd really love to start delving into this great subdomaining/.htaccess world :)

Thanks again.. Greatly appreciated...

Use phpinfo() to find out what system/pre-defined variables are available.

Use mysql's extensive date formatting functions.

How did you figure out anything else that you've done in MySQL? There's an excellent manual at http://www.mysql.com/ . Please try to at least glance at the documentation before posting here. Some questions are so incredibly basic that it's clear you didn't even try.

What do you mean by a currency? If you mean a number with two decimal places, you can do something like:

$currency_val = sprintf('%.2f', floatval($_REQUEST['how_much_money']));

Hi all,

I have problem with TTF support on my vhost. PHP says it has no ttf support. The configure command is:

'./configure' '--prefix=/opt/php' '--enable-exif' '--with-apxs' '--enable-memory-limit=yes' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-wddx' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd=../gd' '--enable-gd-imgstrttf' '--with-jpeg-dir' '--with-ttf' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-t1lib=/usr/lib' '--with-mysql=/usr/' '--with-png-dir' '--with-config-file-path=/etc/opt/httpd/' '--with-zlib' '--with-mhash' '--with-pdflib=/usr/lib/' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-memory-limit'

and GD section of PHP Info looks like this:

GD Support enabled GD Version 1.6.2 or higher T1Lib Support enabled JPG Support enabled PNG Support enabled WBMP Support enabled

anyone could help? Admin says that on their website TTF functions work fine.

Additionally, i'm execute a shell command (to create thumbnail with ImageMagick) but it does not do anything. The command is OK as it works by SSH.

It's in the "unsup" directory. Maxim's release notes are in there too.

I hope to merge this into the mainstream release in a backward compatible manner some time soon.

It's Phplib4 package, which also has session4.inc file, is in the unsup directory, and is a completely different thing (while doing similar work too), made by Barend Scholtus.

Hi all..

I've been trying to understand actually what is the error in the following code for 2 hours, i played with the code, moved stuff around and the like but nothing worked.. Can someone help me please?

The PHP error is as follow:

Parse error: parse error in /usr/home/iro/numripps.php on line 13

<? $query = "SELECT handle from x"; $res = mysql_query($query); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)) { $xquery = "SELECT handle from husers WHERE handle like '$row[handle]'"; $xres = mysql_query($xquery); $chck = mysql_num_rows($xres); if (!$chck) { $zquery = "SELECT name from users WHERE handle like '$row[handle]'; $zres = mysql_query($zquery); $zrow = mysql_fetch_array($zres); $user = $zrow[name]; $query = "INSERT into husers values (\'$row[handle]\' , \'$user\')"; mysql_query($query); } } ?>

When i changes the " " of the line 13 for ' ' there is another error but thise time after the ?>.. Where did i go wrong? i see nothing wrong in here. (Btw i know my code is ugly but it's still suposed to work.)

Thanks in advance if you help me.

Instead of making us count (I've only got ten fingers, I'm wearing shoes and I can't see my toes), tell us which is line 13.

To make a long story short: I'm trying to compile PHP 4.2 with Apache, GD, T1lib and more. This is what I'm using:

Hi guys, trying to get my head around possible code for this problem.

My website has various sections which have their own directory like below:

HOME - Main part of the website CHARTS - Various DJ charts MUSIC - Review, News and other things

and so on..

At the top of each page I have a link panel which depending on which section of the site you are in shows the links back down the directory system.

For example:

http://www.danceportal.co.uk/diary/2002/may/

has this in the panel:

Home / Diary / 2002 / May / <-- These are links back down the system of directories.

http://www.danceportal.co.uk/charts/randumian/mon-22-apr-2002.php

has this:

Home / Charts / Randum Ian / Monday, April 22, 2002

Is it possible to automate this in a template so that it can work out where it is and create the correct links?

If you need an example of how it is now please visit my website http://www.danceportal.co.uk/home/.

Regards, Ian.

Yes.

http://homepages.tesco.net/~J.deBoynePollard/FGA/questions-with-yes-or-no-answers.html

Presumably you want to know *how* to do it?

Use phpinfo() to see what predefined vars you can use to get your document path. Then probably use explode() to get the individual components of the path.
