Would certainly cut down on a lot of the repetitive, simple questions!

Maybe even put it up at the top of the e-mail so people *definitely* see

Wasn't the original post about improving speed? I do believe IonCube is the
current home of PHPAccelerator. Which just happens to be about improving
speed without buying the Zend accelerator since it is free (or at least the
version I still use is free :).

Rob.

Try this tool, its free and its very good.
http://pobs.mywalhalla.net/
I have myself used it as I make some freebie programs which are open source
and some which are not.
Before your "open source defination guys" get on my back please remember...I
gotto eat and I have to protect something that I spent hours sweating over,
got frustrated over and worked late nights...sometimes till 4am or more.

BTW the freebie programs go out with source intact.

Hope that helped.

Cheers,
-Ryan

Brad, anyone,

did you find out what the problem is? I am experiencing the same.
Running PHP 4.2.2-117 with Apache on Linux SuSE 8.1

Cheers,
Markus

--------------------------------------------------------------------

If I run the following code from the command line ("php -q socktest.php") it
works fine. If I try to run it through a browser gethostbyname fails (prints
unchanged host name).

<?php print gethostbyname( 'www.msn.com' ); ?>

What gives?

Two questions:

  a) Is safe_mode turned on? Check phpinfo().
  b) Are you also using an external authentication, like
     with .htaccess?

Under these conditions the PHP_AUTH_* variables will not be
available but REMOTE_USER will still be available.

Thanks, Marek, and I already use that class when creating messages with attachments.

However, in this case I'm forwarding a message with the attachment already in the body plus I want to preserve the original message headers, which isn't supported by the class.

There must be some way to make mail() work without damaging the contents it sends. ???

i was going to ask the question in the notes part of the site but i saw your comments of it so here it is.

this my error
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in .....

it seems to be that my site is generating more visits which my server can handle. and everytime i pass a couple of thousand of visits a day i get this error.
and the only way of fixing it is restarting the mysql daemon. my question is there anyway i can restart this daemon via php so i wont have to keep on doing this manually? please help.

Hello,

You could be running out of connections to the MySQL database server, if
you have access to restart MySQL you might consider changing the
configuration so that it allows more concurrent connections.

Your description is interesting, are you using persistent connections?
If you are just using mysql_connect the server should free the
connection at the end of the result, so if you are using mysql_connect
and the connections are being reset at the end your peak load is
probably higher than the number of connections MySQL is accepting. If
you are using persistent connections you may consider turning them off
(you will take somewhat of a performance hit but it will result in more
mysql connections being available).

You can code around the issue somewhat by making sure you don't connect
to the database unless you are going to need the database connection and
using mysql_close when you are done with the connection, since PHP
closes the connection for you at the end of script execution that is
really only of benefit when you need to pull information from the
database and the processing takes some time and you want to free the
connection.

Bottom line take a look at your MySQL server configuration, you
shouldn't be needing to restart it every couple thousand visits.

I think what you need is

continue;

That will end the current loop and continue to the next iteration

If you want to break out of the loop completly you would need

break;

Your problem is this line
<?php require_once(''); ?>

What are you trying to require? Do you know what require does? Require
includes a file into your script and '' is not really a filename. Read the
manual on this function.

Under Microsoft Windows, you can try UltraEdit, which is a very good
text editor providing IDE functionnalities. It's not a free tool, but
it's low cost (about 30$ if I remember well).

Still under Microsoft Windows you can try emacs (not very easy to use in
the beginning) which is a free software.

Hope it helps :-)

Amen to that. Jedit is THE BEST all around text editor right now.
I have been amazingly pleased with jEdit and i recommend that everyone

Hi,

I'm attempting to install a forum which requires both MySQL and php. I am
getting a failed dependency for a MySQL RPM when attempting to install the
php-mysql-4.2.2-8.0.7.i386.rpm and I can't find the needed rpm, not even on
Red hat Network. The library I need is libmysqlclient.so.10.

I have both MySQL and PHP running on my server, both appear to be working
OK (independently) my php test script comes up fine and indicates that it
does support MySQL, although not which version.

I ran rpm -iv to install php-MySQL and this is what came up -
[rootwww html]# rpm -iv php-mysql-4.2.2-8.0.7.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by php-mysql-4.2.2-8.0.7

This is what I presently have on system...

[rootwww html]# rpm -qa | grep MySQL
MySQL-client-4.0.12-0
MySQL-server-4.0.12-0

Does anyone know where I can get this rpm? 'm running RH Linux 8 under
kernel-2.4.18-27.8.0

I've already been told that using include() statements is very
inefficient and should be avoided. But... I've written a web app that
uses them, and a little more than 1% of the time, the execution of the
file that calls an include just halts right before or after the
include. No errors, no nothing. Are include() statements really *that*
bad? Or might there be something else in my system (Linux RedHat 7
right now) that could be causing this?

I've only ever confirmed it happening when Win/MSIE connects via SSL,
and have never been able to reproduce the problem from the user's
perspective in-house; I've beefed up the SSL definition in my
httpd.conf file to minimize problems with MSIE, but I've put a debug
tracking mechanism in my code and have caught it not finishing code
execution on about 1% of the page accesses.

attached mail follows:

Include statements do have a cost but I wouldn't say they are very
inefficient and I wouldn't go to great lengths to avoid them. In most
cases the benefits of using includes properly far outweigh the cost
involved in using them (imagine writing the Linux Kernel or the Windows
OS using only one source file). Includes allow you to logically
organize your application and use a more modular system, just don't put
each individual function in it's own file.

The access method of the script should not influence whether or not the
include works, I would check and see if your system is exceeding the
maximum number of open files or if it is hitting an open file limit set
somewhere, when this happens the system can't open any more files. An
open file limit problem can be tricky to find because it only happens
when x files are open which on a web server would be under load.

The fact that the include works 99% of the time leads me to believe it
is probably a problem somewhere other than the include functionality itself.

Also what version of PHP are you running with what web server, what OS
is it running on?

I would recommend logging the number of open files and load of the
server when this problem occurs.

Hi, (Warning, kind of newbie alert)

I have created a script which will take a lot of values from a form
I am getting various values entered into the script from variables like
$customer_name, $product_id etc etc I just take and use those variables as
is
eg:
I _DONT_ do:
$customer_name== $_GET['page'];

BUT my friend tells me that I should do that as "register globals" are off
on a lot of servers....which is getting me quite confused.

Should I convert all my scripts so it will work with register globals off?
Then for "GET" I use $_GET and for "POST" I am guessing I will have to use
$_POST, or should I use $_REQUEST?

or (my favourite alternative) is just keep the code as is and if they dont
have register globals on...tough luck! :-)
What do you think?

Because just thinking of going through all those damn variables one by one
and converting them sure sounds like a pain in the....exactly what you
thought :-)

After going on google and searching for the answer I see that even the
creator or PHP thinks that register globals should be on as putting it off
does not add to a higher sense of
security.(http://www.webmasterbase.com/article/767/)

Any advise/suggestions/comments welcome.
Cheers,
-Ryan

attached mail follows:

The default for register globals is off, so you should write all new
code to work without register globals.

Since the super globals $_GET, $_POST and $_REQUEST have been available
since PHP 4.1 I would recommend using them or using the $HTTP_POST and
$HTTP_GET variables (which are not super globals but are available in
PHP prior to version 4.1).

You will find that if you insist on register globals on your application
will be broken by default on most new installs.

Our pages seem to occassionally burp out weird Date responses. For example,
this is a line from our student certificate for today:

        <p style="font-size: 14pt;">Awarded this <?
                echo date("jS");
                ?> day of <?
                echo date("F");
                ?>, Two Thousand Three</p>

What that's returning is:

Awarded this 31nd day of May, Two Thousand Three

I haven't been able to pin-point a rhyme or reason for what's causing this,
especially since the above code produced a correct date ten minutes later.
I have a niggling suspicion it might be because of something with the
server, but I'll admit to being beyond my depth at this point.

Any ideas what could be causing this? Anyone? Ferris?

Remove the '$' character from the $_POST, $_GET and $_REQUEST array indices,
e.g.

$_GET[$product_id] should be $_GET['product_id'].

Hope this is the right list for this.

I have some open source code that a client of mine wants to use on his site.
The contributor of this code is very good about updating and providing new
releases of his code a couple of times a year.

I am also generating some fixes (not many) and new modules for this client.

I would like to be able to keep my code separate from the contributors code,
and when I get a new release from the contributor, install my changes to the
new release (of course, I will need to shake down the conflicts). Is there
a open source product that works well on this kind of thing? Where can I
find out more about it?

Sounds like an ideal opportunity to use CVS.

try www.cvshome.org or check your favorite open source site.

$_POST['list_serv'] is not an array. Should it be? Are there form elements
in the form that is posting to this script called 'list_serv[]' ?

Hmm...so using list_serv[] as the name doesn't make it an array? How do I
do that?

No, there there is no function or script called list_serv[]. I was just
attempting to build an array.

Yes! Sorry I didn't clarify that. I just ripped out the relevant
snippets. The last 'foreach' is what happens after a submit.

It kind of appears that you're making an array type name value in the html.
list_serv[something] instad of just list_serv.

I would set NAME="list_serv" and VALUE="<?echo
$search_result['list_serv_cd']; ?>"

I think that will do ths trick. Right now it doesn't think
$_POST['list_serv'] is an array, which it probably isn't from seeing that.

I always mess up calling a foreach on a _POST element that contains an
array. Instead of messing with the [] placement (I can never remember if it
would be $_POST[list_serv[]] or $_POST[list_serv][] or if I need {} in there
somewhere) I just do this

$list_serv = $_POST['list_serv'];
foreach($list_serv as $list_serv_cd => $quantity) {

It is kind of a cop out, but I am usually under a tight dealine and it gets
the job done.

Does anyone know if there are some problems with Php pages and search engines?

attached mail follows:

In the view of search-engine spiders, any PHP pages should look the same as
static HTML pages. After all, the resulting output from PHP pages is static
HTML. Thus, there should be no issues.

Does anyone know if there are some problems with Php pages and search
engines?

attached mail follows:

PHP pages themselves shouldn't cause any problems with search engines
but some of the techniques PHP authors can cause problems.

Some engines have problems with strings such as
index.php?variable=value, etc as far as knowing they are seperate pages.

attached mail follows:

PHP by itself won't cause problems for search engines...we use it for
templating and the like across our entire site, and we're still indexed
and so on.

Having said that, it's certainly possible to use PHP on a site in ways
that make it more difficult for search engines to access and index your
site. (A simple example might be if the only way to access some of your
content is via a form submit...)

Yes, here is the point. The problem comes from the use of variables in
the URL. For example, Google stops parsing URLs after the second
variables.

If you want a good solution to this problem, you must use
url_rewriting. It is a process that can translate something like this :

http://domain.com/index.php?group=books&article=154

to something like that :

http://domain.com/books/154.htm

Ok, here is what I have now, and it is very close:

          <?$query = "SELECT * FROM list_serv_t WHERE retired_flag is NULL
OR
        retired_flag = 0 ORDER BY list_serv_name";
        $search_results = mysql_query($query) or die("Select Failed!"); ?>

<?while ($search_result = mysql_fetch_array($search_results)) {?>

<?}

        foreach( $_POST['list_serv'] as $list_serv_cd => $quantity) {
                    $quantity *= 1; // make it numeric
                    if($quantity) { // if one exists
                               echo $list_serv_cd;
                    }
        }?>

I have printed the list_serv_cd beside the name so I can compare them to
what the foreach prints out. Unfortuantely, they don't match. Here is
what is displayed in HTML:

Bursar - 1
Cards on Campus - 3
SLRC - 2
Treasury - 5
0123

So, it looks like I am printing out the loop count. How can I print out
the value?

Thanks!!!
