As an immediate thought, I'd say you should limit the number of rows you
want to show and make it a step by step consultation. Something like 100
rows per page. This has little to do with the timeout problem (10.000
rows should not really take that much time anyway) but it's a user-side
consideration. All that stuff is going to make a HUGE page and just kill
their browsers, besides, it will take time to deliver that much to a
remote user.

Now let's see the timeout. AFAIK Apache comes with a 30 seconds limit,
so the 60 second thing sounds weird enough. Can you tell me what's your
system like?

And now to the database. Would you tell us what's the table like and
what sort of query are you running against it? Afraid it's hard to
answer your question without that stuff :)

is PHP timing out? try ini_set("max_execution_time","300"); // or set_time_limit(300)

I'm not sure that I understand what you're saying here... I'm loading a php file, that is creating the pdf on-the-fly. This php file is the one receiving the POST data, not the window - or do I not understand?

BTW... This example is not how the application works. It's just a test that I used to narrow down the problem, and recreate in a controlled situation. The real application needs to have the pdf file pop up in a separate window using POST vars, which, in the application, is done using Javascript - but I digress...

How is the POST data not 'secure' but the GET data is? How is it not secure 'by definition'? There's nothing where? Please expand.

Thanks for you response, Pete.

Hi get data is insecure by nature so the whole page is insecure and no warnings, as soon as you post you invoke the security. You probably have a url on your page that is coming from an insecure server (http:// instead of https://) Tom

Both GET and POST data are encrypted when sending a request to a https:// URL.

Believe me when I say that there are no insecure links, or parts of my page coming from such... everything refers to https://, and besides it's a PDF with no links, and it is fully generated on a secure application server... and if there were insecure links, they would invoke warnings on the GET as well...

This problem is going to drive me to the bottle...

I take this is just a typo in your example.

$list[$i] = $intance;

should really be:

$list[$i] = &$instance;

by not using the ampersand you pass a COPY of the object and not the object you built. Maybe it doesn't do any harm in your application, but it tends to be dangerous.

> foreach ($list as $item) { > $act = (IvActivity) $item; > echo "item: " . $act->getTitle(); > }

this may just be:

foreach ($list as $item) { echo "item: " . $item->getTitle(); }

Because you said that: > getRow() returns a new instance of an object called IvActivity.

Watch out for copies again. I am not sure whether this will execute the object instead of a fresh copy. Again, this might mean nothing in your context.

Interesting. What tests did you perform?

Given this PHP file:

<? header('Location: page2.php'); echo "This is the text after the location header.\n"; ?>

I get these results:

% telnet localhost 80 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. GET /loc.php

This is the text after the location header. Connection closed by foreign host.

I used similar things, including a file('test.php') statement in another php script and using GET from the command line.

telnet is a good test, but I didn't have it available at the time.

Is there a way I can programmatically switch between HTTPS and HTTP... I use a lot of INCLUDE's instead of HEADER("Location: ...");

Nope. The protocol is determined by the client when it makes its request. Once your code is running, it's too late. At that point you can only redirect to a https:// URL, which leads the client to generate a new request.

attached mail follows:

On a related note, if https then the predefined variable HTTPS will exist. $_SERVER['HTTPS'] will equal 'on'.

It depends on the nature of the data involved. If javascript works you can avoid having a submit button and use a normal button with a function on the onclick event. The function will either send GET data to HTTP or HTTPS, depending on actual data content.

But that also means all data needed to make such a decision shall be available in the client scope, in the form of javascript source. It can turn out to be quite an unsecure way to call for security LOLOL

But maybe it's just a stupid checkbox and in that case you can just do it like this.

I'm a little confused about how HTTPS actually works when you call it via a FORM tag or HEADER("Location: ...")

This may sound like a stupid question -- but it was never explained to me, so...

I have my users fill out (for example) FORM A -- this form has basic non-secure info. Then they press SUBMIT, now on FORM B, I want them to fill out their payment information.

Now, I notice that when I go to web sites and fill out payment information, I see the little lock icon at the bottom of my browser, and the https://yadadada in the URL field... however, I'm unclear about something...

If I call FORM B with HTTPS will my blank FORM B transmit to the user encrypted, and will I have to call HTTPS again for my PHP CC Processing App?

In other words, what's taking place when I call a form or page with HTTPS? Is it that the data only gets encrypted on a SUBMIT ?

Dunno if my question makes much sense .. but I guess I'd like to know if it's even required for me to call FORM B in a secure state (for the users CC data to be SENT encrypted), but instead just call the process attached to the FORM (submit button) on FORM B in HTTPS ?? Does that make sense?

I'll try to explain:

If you have a form at a http URL and the action of the form is to a https URL, then the data from the form is submitted to the new URL in an encrypted format.

hope that helps, colin

Any ideas why this is being ignored?

Wow, I would be annoyed if I used your site, as it rules out perfectly valid email addresses of a format I'd be likely to provide to a web site.

Clue 1: Far more characters are valid before the sign.

Clue 2: The underscore (_) is not valid after the sign.

Why randomly make up guesses about what a valid email address might be? RFC 822 is no secret, and there are secondary references under every virtual rock.

As for your ereg problem itself, it's returning true on a so-called valid address, so you'd be getting the opposite results of what you expect. Switch your if around or add a ! before the eregi call.

'links' is pretty cool. Hit | (vertical bar) to see the headers from the current page, or \ (backslash) to see the source.

I usually use it in textmode in an xterm which allows me to surf with the mouse but doesn't slow me down with graphic images.

Hi,

I'm having trouble including a concat column in my php. Here's the line I've tried to use:

$query = "Select CourseNumber, CourseTitle, concat(ProfFName, /" /", ProfLName), InstitName, DiscName, Format from course, disc, instit, prof where course.DiscID = disc.DiscID and course.InstitID = instit.InstitID and course.ProfID = prof.ProfID order by CourseTitle";

I think it has something to do with the double quotes and the escape characters I'm using...I'm able to show ProfFName and ProfLName separately...

Thanks in advance for your help.

You need to use backslashes ( \ ) and not regular slashes ( / ) to escape quotes.

This will work if it is a space you want between the two fields. concat(ProfFName, ' ', ProfLName)

Andy, Yes I do it all the time. In this example, I do this with a window that has buttons across the top of a image representing size from 1 to 10. Depending on the button they select they get a image displayed from small to large.

Here is a snip of code that displays the sized images. ---------------------------- The button name is $s. They select from 1 to 10, but can be any increment. $hi = $s * 100; // size in 100 pixels. (but can be any increment) echo " <TABLE BORDER='15' CELLPADDING='0' CELLSPACING='0'><TR><TD> <image src='ft_image.php?imno=$image_num' BORDER=0 ALIGN='TOP' height=$hi></TD></TR></TABLE> ";

Note: in the 'image src' you give it a program name, not the image, and pass some way for it to read the image from the DB. In this case the program is ft_image.php and it passes imno.

To didplay the photo in ft_image.php, execute the following:

header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); print(mysql_result($result, 0, "photo_image"));

photo_image is name of blob field from the DB --------------------------------- HTH.. Good luck.. Dan.

attached mail follows:

Please note that this will not work as expected! First of all you don't actually echo the vars to <img src...>. They should be ...imno=<?php echo $image_num ?>... Secondly the correct tag is <img src...> Third. Changing the height (or width) value in the image tag lets the client do all the work. The full image is still downloaded and then scaled by the client. Imagine <img src="mybigpic.jpg" width="100" height="100"> with an image that is 10000x10000 px and say 1MB in size. Poor modem users have to wait 5 minutes to see a thumbnail...

If you have the possibility (ie. PHP and GD on the server) the best thing to do is to scale the image on the server before it is sent to the client. Even better, scale the image when it is uploaded to the server.

You're doing it the right way. Make sure that news ID is a key in the comments table:

alter table contents add key(news_id);

and then this query will be VERY fast. That's the whole point.

If your authors are drawn from a limited pool (i.e., registered users) then you probably want to have a table for them too rather than storing any of the author's information inside the comments table.

Is your question involving how to go about this in PHP... From the above it sounds like you are coding in JavaScript and this is a PHP forum... If it is to do with php there should be responses swarming the group after you clarify the exact issue or what is lacking in your script from a php perspective... I am not too proficient in the use of JavaScript... I have used it and found that it slows my pages down...

...Correct me if I am wrong... I may not have completely understood the problem... ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

How can I set things up so that a user can resort the results of a query?

Also, how can I make certain columns into links? I'm making a site that will list college courses. When users decide to browse listings by discipline, or college, I'd like the titles of the courses to be links to fuller descriptions of those courses. But I'm not sure how to do that.

thanks in advance for your help.

Matthew,

Its a new query unless you want to sort using php routines. For a small amount of data this is fine but for large amounts there is a performance hit. Your choice as to the balance with the amount of data you have.

Where I have a lot of data, extracted from a very large amount of data, I store my results in a new, temporary, table that has each field indexed. I make the column headings on my html page into links that extract the data from the temporary table, ordered by that column. As its multi-user, I have a field in the temporary table with the username so that each user gets their own data (its first part of the indices too).

Hope this helps Chris

Thanks very much for your response, Chris--it sounds like that's exactly what I need to do.

I'm sorry to trouble you further, but if you have a second, can you give me some advice on how to store results in a temporary table with the columns indexed? I'm very new to PHP, and I'm not sure how to go about it.

Matthew,

Apologies to others that this is now quite OT, let's make this the last of this thread. If I may suggest that this is now about pure sql techniques and nothing to do with php.

What I did was to create a table (not temporary as it happens) with fields containing all the fields that you want to display e.g.: CREATE TABLE searchdata ( username varchar(30), course varchar2(80), discipline varchar2(40), college varchar2(60)); CREATE INDEX course ON searchdata (username, course); CREATE INDEX discipline ON searchdata (username, discipline); CREATE INDEX college ON searchdata (username, college); The username field is either the name the user is logged in as or some unique identifier you give to that user.

When you get the main sql statement, copy all the fields into searchdata. When you display the fields on your form, make each of the headings of the table you display the data in a url to this same form but with an "orderby" parameter. So e.g. the "course" column title is a url ending in "orderby=course". Now when the form is called with the orderby parameter, instead of getting the data from the main table, get it from searchdata with an sql statement which includes the relevant "order by" clause. You need to arrange for the data to be deleted when it is finished with, I leave that to you, each case will differ.

I do not claim that this is the best way, but it is the way I used.

Hope it helps.

Chris

Hello all,

I have been trying to modify the working of one of my pages which prints a png graph. What I had was an included file named "graphit.php" which creates a png file. I used the function imagepng($image,'temp.png') to create an image and then used <img src=temp.png> to have the image printed on the page. This worked well enough when only one user (me) was using the page, but I want more. In reading the imagepng() info in the manual, it states that I can output the raw image stream to the browser by leaving off the file name option. I've done this, but get nada! How should this be done? One of the notes (and it's in German) implies that I can call "graphit.php" using something like

<img src=graphit.php> to get the image output. Unfortunately, I get nothing except the red X indicating a missing image.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Do you output the right headers before you output the imagestream? Header("Content-type: image/png");

If this doesn't help you have to post your code (graphit.php) here so we can look at it.

Yeah, you are right about that!

But since you have to take the constant out of the string (with {} or ". .") it shouldn't be a problem to use constants. Correct?

Thank's for the help everybody!

I used something different (a little like this nice one from Terence (thank you!) but with JS:

I named my form 'test' and included a hidden field 'collector'. At the checkboxes the name is the value I need. The box, when checked, gets the value 1.

In the boxtags I added: onclick=add_values($name) where name is the value I want.

Then I wrote this little script: $js = "<script type=text/javascript> function add_values(val) { document.test.'collector'.value += val; document.test.'collector'.value += \",\"; } </script>";

It produces a comma separated list in the field 'collector' whith only the checked values. When sending the form, only this field is transmitted. This is just what I wanted and it works fine.

Hi all. I am upgrading the hole thing in my local “developing” computer. I’m using the PHPTriad package… Has anyone upgraded it before? I went to the PHPTriad but it’s no longer supported.

MySQL-MAX contains support for InnoDB tables, which let you do transactions. That's about the only difference. They don't put it in the default installation files, because there is a slight performance hit, most folk don't use transactions anyway.

It's in the MySQL manual how to switch over - I did it on an XP machine a couple of weeks ago, and it's very straightforward.

Thanks. That's one problem solved. I remember reading in a PHP book, in the chapter where they explain the differences between MySQL and other DB's, about MySQL having one defect as it wouldn't tell PHP that the transaction was or wasn't completed successfully (truncated)... Is this what was solved? Because it would kick ass.

Hi all. I was reading the post by Pag called “MySQL backups” and I have the same question, but not the shell access. It came to my mind, that if will be very useful for me, and probably for many of us newbie’s, to be able to build an automated PHP system that could make backups by itself at a specified time… let’s say maybe every morning at 6 am, by transferring or uploading the MySQL files to another server. I noticed that this could be done in PHPNuke, by clicking at “Backup Files”. ¿Is it possible to build this kind of unattended scripts with PHP or will it always require a magical “click” from the administrator? I guess that it shouldn’t be possible, but it’s worth a shot. Thanks in advance, Cesar Aracena <mailto:webmastericaam.com.ar> CE / MCSE+I Neuquen, Argentina +54.299.6356688 +54.299.4466621

Hello César, PHP, As for your question the answer is yes. At this point of time I'm working on it also. The main idea is set of a few scripts. One for dumping Database with data to a file, second one is creating a tar archive, and third one using fopen to put on FTP server some where:) It works. but I'm to lazy to complete it. :)

Ola!

Nope, not possible. You need to set something in chron function in order to do that, which is impossible without a *good* shell access. And nobody in his mind would let such privileges to remote users.

All you can do is to extract the backup functions from whatever PHP manager you choose, build a script with them, then have a local machine calling the script at regular time intervals. But this also requires that your local machine will be connected at the time this call happens.

Why would you want to use that? People write in their HTTP_USER_AGENT whatever they want to, and many times you'll find there a set of 4 letter words instead of the info you look for. There is a nice add-on for Mozilla to make that trick even easier.

As far as I can see you need to manipulate HTTP_USER_AGENT yourself. Here is an example that I used to determine if the browser is MSIE and if so what version it is. What are you trying to determine? A specific browser?

if (strStr($HTTP_USER_AGENT, "MSIE")) { $agent_array = split(";", $HTTP_USER_AGENT);

$ie_version = subStr($agent_array[1], 6,7); }

JJ,

I don't know of an *easy* way, but this script (with regex's ) isn't too bad; you can figure it out with a little bit of research. /* begin script ereg("^([[:alpha:]]+)/([[:digit:]\.]+)( .*)$", $HTTP_USER_AGENT, $match); $Browser_Name=$match[1]; $Browser_Version=$match[2]; $Browser_Description=$match[3]; If(eregi("msie", $Browser_Description)) eregi("MSIE ([[:digit:]\.]+);, $Browser_Description, $match); $Browser_Name="MSIE"; $Browser_Version = $match[1]; } // end script */ So now, you have a script which gets the Name, Version and Description, and also looks to specify MSIE as the browser. Read up on Regular Expressions, and you can modify this for any browser/version combo. (adopted from Listing 16.3 in Core PHP Programming by Leon Atkinson)

You could just do:

for ($index=3D0; $index<$amount_of_times; $index++) print $text_to_print;

Hi everyone,

When I run PHP as CGI, it outputs the #!... line to the browser. Is there a way around this?

Example:

#!/usr/local/bin/php <?php print "foo"; ?>

becomes

#!/usr/local/bin/php foo

in the browser.

Thanks, David

I'm pretty sure you can setup apache (you are using apache right?) to use /usr/.../bin/php for all files with the extension .php

I think you can make the AddType location specific

ie: in /home/httpd/html/cgi-bin all files ending in .php will be cgi php everywhere else /home/httpd/html/ will be php module

the line at the top tells the parser which program should execute the code in the file ... so I think you don't add the AddType in apache and maybe something different?

Hello php-general,

I've recently faced big optimization issues. Here is mine situation:

I make connection to NNTP server and fetch headers from the news group lets say bla.bla.bla. Connection made ok. Next Php tryes to put everything into the array. It's okey if number of headers are lower then let's say 100. But if number of headers get greater then 100, it's a pain in the ass. I have to wait for 90-100 seconds till the operation completes. (I'm talking here about large value news groups). So I have faced that I need to optimize it somehow. At this point of time i've got only idea is to put all the headers in the database. But not sure how to update database frequently. Any ideas even fantastic ones are welcome.

well, I never used an NNTP server, so I might say something stupid, but... What you do is get the headers in some chunks, right? One by one or something like that... so just make a table that has a timestamp column (plus the stuff you need to store the headers).

Any time you execute a cycle like this: 1) compute a new timestamp 2) clear from the database table anything older then current timestamp 3) load the new headers directly (one read from NNTP -> one db insert) 4) use your table as a normal array

Does that solve the problem?

Uri,

Sounds like the error reporting is set to E_ALL on the new php version and was set at a lower level before. The error indicates that the variable has not specfically been assigned a value before being used.

attached mail follows:

You'll have to check each part of the array with isset in order to get rid of this warning

e.g

if ((isset($GLOBALS['SPEEDY_GLOBAL_VARS'])) && (isset($GLOBALS['SPEEDY_GLOBAL_VARS']['CURRENT_USER'])) && (isset($GLOBALS['SPEEDY_GLOBAL_VARS']]['CURRENT_USER']['UserName'])))

Of course, you can get rid of the first isset if you're absolutely sure that $GLOBALS['SPEEDY_GLOBAL_VARS'] will always be set, but I'd leave it in there, just in case.

Hi Dan, I don't know about resizing it from blob, I usually store the image on the server and just the file name in the database . But I use something like this for resizing:

$size = GetImageSize($filenum); $im_in = ImageCreateFromJpeg($filenum); $h1=$h; //were $h is the height that you want the image to have. The same you can specify a width and calculate the height. $w1=$h1/($size[1]/$size[0]); $im_out = ImageCreate($w1,$h1); ImageCopyResized($im_out,$im_in,0,0,0,0,$w1,$h1,$size[0],$size[1]); ImageJpeg($im_out,$filenum); ImageDestroy($im_in); ImageDestroy($im_out);

You will need to have the GD Library installed with your php. Hope it helps, Cami

It would be a good idea to switch to Apache. I had the php script and IIS. The problem with IIS is the virus, so MS provide some patches, include the IIS lockdown. When I activated the IIS Lockdown, it prevent some PHP code from working. It became too much for me so I had to switch to Apache.

Here is a little test program.

<?php

/* SQL> select emp_id, emp_name from employee;

dgrimes Dean Grimes

35 rows selected.

This is a select using SQLPLUS to select all of the employees. There were a lot of other names, I just removed them from the list.

SQL> select emp_id, emp_name from employee where emp_id = 'dgrimes';

dgrimes Dean Grimes

This is a select using SQLPLUS that specifies the WHERE clause. It too works properly.

I did not include the code to process using ora_open, ora_pars and ora_exec. But it does work just fine with or without a WHERE clause.

error_reporting(15); $dbconnect = ora_logon('ops$dgrimes','changemenow');

// Select with WHERE clause // $sql = "SELECT * FROM employee WHERE emp_id = 'dgrimes'";

// Select without WHERE clause $sql = "SELECT * FROM employee";

$cur = ora_do($dbconnect,$sql);

// Uncomment this block to see results of WHERE CLAUSE. It gets No Data Found" /* ora_fetch_into($cur,$results,ORA_FETCHINTO_NULLS|ORA_FETCHINTO_ASSOC); echo ora_errorcode($cur); echo ora_error($cur); exit; */ // Comment the above block to see results of select without WHERE CLAUSE

while (ora_fetch_into($cur,$results,ORA_FETCHINTO_NULLS|ORA_FETCHINTO_ASSOC)) { // print_r($results); // echo "<br>\n"; while (list($k,$v) = each($results)) echo "Key=".$k." Val=".$v."<br>\n"; }

Show us real source code...

Nothing in what you say seems 'wrong', but who knows?

Wild Guesses:

You're not seeing any errors because you're not *ASKING* to see any errors. You have to specifically request error messages to be displayed or logged somewhere.

You are doing something like: $x = 2; $query = "select * from table_name where col_name = x"; And, oddly enough, there are none with 'x' even though there are lots with 2... So, there's no problem with the query, it's just not the query you intended. Try printing out your query, and paste it into the Oracle command-line thingie (sql-dba?)

For the $_SESSION or session_start(), some of hte demostration I tried for the array, including the odbc_fetch_into. They just don't work since it work with the non-array but not the array. So, it is probably a bug in PHP. So, I will have to search the PHP bug database and file a bug or update the bug. So, everybody, thanks for your best shot here! As for the website, I'm going to have to take out the odbc_fetch_into and use the odbc_result and manually assign each variable to the $_SESSION. Not a pretty picture, yes, I know! Eventually, I will forget to update them later on. Thanks for your best shot.

Hi All,

I'm trying to install IMP and I'm getting the error:-

I know that _() is the same as gettext() and I'm sure it used to work.

Anyone know where it went or what setting I have to change in php.ini to bring it back. Sorry if I'm re-iterating things but trying to search for _() is not having the desired effect in google.

Yes, that's the problem with cookies :( In case they get disabled, or just manually canceled) $_COOKIE will not contain anything at all. Which is why I don't like cookies.

To me, the $_COOKIE seem to get data from the browser in some way. Correct me if I'm wrong. Something like a communication between cookie.

ðÒÉ×ÅÔ!

Yes, that's the way it works. Once you do a setcookie() on the server you actually issue a sort of "delayed command" for the client, if you pardon me the expression :) In short, when you print out your HTML you also tell the client to save some data in its disk (or RAM when you use session cookies).

This data will be presented back later to you with the next URL request. It is NOT saved on the server, it is just a sort of automatic add-on that you will have on all links pointing to you until the cookie expires. It will be presented to those URLs you specify when building the cookie (usually you will want to limit their action to some subdirectory to avoid having back data out of context).

Sounds very nice, but... But the trouble is that in doing so you issue a command to a machine of which you know almost nothing. Most of all, you don't know whether it's capable of executing your order. Or willing to, since users may disable cookies.

Sort of blind date, but the girl may actually not show up later... 99% she will, but you should not count on it.

Somewhere on that page I have added a few buttons, and one of those buttons is functional (the others have to be written yet) But here I have this header: 1 <?php 2 session_start(); 3 $loginname=$_SESSION['loginname']; 4 $loginpw=$_SESSION['loginpw']; 5 /* session_register('loginname'); 6 session_register('loginpw'); -- commented out, it did not add something seemingly */ 7 ?>

The strange thing is that if I do (hey, it's just for testing what's happening): print("loginname = $loginname<br>\n"); print("loginpw=$loginpw<br>\n");

both loginname and loginpw contain the same information, which is the true information of $loginpw what am I doing wrong here?

oww... should have added a few things as information... It's friday and one tends to forget such things then... I'm on Slackware 8.1, PHP 4.2.1, Apache 1.3.24

maybe that helps a bit...

Is there PHP function that would get the total array count.

ie --snip-- $array[0] = "zero"; $array[1] = "one"; $array[2] = "two";

$array_count = <function to get the array count> --snip--

And I would get 3 as an answer.

My web host has just upgraded to PHP 4.20. My MySQL database is full of session_encoded fields, but since the upgrade I can no longer session_decode them.

After doing phpinfo I find the following settings ...

register_argc_argv on on register_globals on on

I've been through the manual regarding predefined variables but must be missing the point somewhere.

How do I get the session_encoded fields back as useable variables?

Thanks

Thanks, miguel. That would be my guess, too. If both of us guessed the same thing, then we must be right. Right?!? ;)

What is the configure option that will turn on the register_globals? This is for ./configure option in UNIX / LINUX.

Look at the phpinfo() output, and modify to include the register_globals=ON, then restart Apache (assuming it's in an apache module).

Go to PHP website, http://www.php.net and at the top, you'll see the download hyperlink. Click on that. Then use the tar.gz file under the title, "Complete Source Code". This is what I use with AIX. If you use the RPM to install other softwares, then you'll have to make sure the ./configure option can find the files. It is a matter of using hte environment variables and file paths. I had end up going back to AIX 4.3.3 because AIX 5.x use alot of Operating System archecture change.

That is because AIX 5.1 uses a linux kernel. That implies alot of changes for the architecture... However, I think you should be able to compile for 5.1, but you'll need the required libraries which have to be compiled and installed as well... which implies that you need the development stuff like gcc/gmake (I thought gmake was used, from the top of my head)

Yea, it use the Linux Kernel. I had to download RPM stuffs from IBM. It can not be from Red Hat or any other. IBM take the source code and put it into RPM. IBM kept making error message about some RPMs, so that is why I went back to non-linux kernal AIX.

Here's the simple script that will do the trick! This is what I use with Equifax before I start using cURL. You can substitute the "HOSTNAME", "HOSTPORT" for something else.

--clip-- <? $errno = 0; $errstr= "";

$socket = fsockopen(HOSTNAME,HOSTPORT,&$errno,&$errstr,30); if(!$socket || $errno) { logAction($errno,$errstr); echo "Could Not Connect to Equifax !!!!<br>"; return 0; }

$senddata = $headerstr; $senddata .= $sendstr; $senddatalen = strlen($senddata);

fwrite($socket,sprintf("%06d",$senddatalen),6); fwrite($socket,$senddata,$senddatalen);

list($code,$inqdata) = getResponse($socket);

if(!$code) { logAction(-2,"Break Up\n"); echo "Error Communicating With Equifax !!!!<br>"; fclose($socket); return 0; }

fclose($socket); ?> --clip--

Is it possible to pass variables in PHP on the localhost server? Is there some kind of setting or something that I need? I am new to this and am not sure how to go about this. When I upload to a server, the script I have works just fine; but when I work on it locally, it does not work. Please help while I am still technically sane. Thanks. :oP
