If it's accessed by IP, the "Host: header is omitted, and $HTTP_HOST returns
the IP address. To build the full URL to that particular script, you would
have to piece it together, using protocol + "://" + $http_host + "/" +
$REQUEST_URI etc etc, not sure the exact code, but thats what ya gotta do...

If you're talking about PHP 4.1.2 currently shipping with Mac OS X,
it does not come with a php.ini file anywhere (although you can grab
one from the source distribution and install it in /usr/lib).

Actually, php.ini can be empty and php will start with default options.

Windows have a sheduler too, you can use it for php-gtk application. If
you want it from browser, you can have a hidden iframe that regularly
refreshes, if thare are any new messages, send the iframe javascript
that would pop up the window.

Hmmmm,

Well, is there a way to pass params to file_to_be_executed in command line?

For example:

<?
    $my_param = 'my_include_path';
    $text = `usr/local/bin/php /path/to/my/php/page.php`;
?>

Somehow I need $my_param to be passed to page.php (the file to be processed
in command line).

Any ideas?

Thank the heavens above........

Actually, thank "Ben", a poster from php.net manual.

Looks like environment variables are not passed to file when it is executed
from the command line.

A workaround is:

$inc_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/';
$remaddr = getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT");
putenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT=$inc_path");

That does the trick for what I need done now; namely, being able to include
files within my command line executed files.

Still, there must be a way to pass params to command line executed
files......

Just put them after the filename and grab them out of your $argv array.

Try this

<?php
$args = '"hello world"';
$text = `/usr/bin/php /usr/local/apache/htdocs/in.php $args`;
echo $text;
?>

in.php contains:

<?php
echo '<pre>';
phpinfo(32);
echo '</pre>';
echo $_SERVER['argv'][1];
?>

That should do what you want if I understand the problem :)

Hi all;

In general , when you open an html file , the browser start to display and
draw the tables, then start to display the pictures (on slow internet
connection).. but when you make your html code inside an php the output will
be different, it will buffer everything then it will pop the whole page.

I have a question.. how can I make php output and display my website as
stream html..

because I have a postnuke website and it take ages for popping all contents
, but when I saved it as html and I upload it on the same apache server ,
the home page start to be displayed picture after picture and so on ...

Please any advise ??

The output won't actually be different unless you have turned on
zlib.output_compression or output_buffering in your php.ini file. Both of
these are off by default. Without these PHP will not do any buffering.
The only buffering you see is done by Apache and this buffering happens in
your static file case as well. It is natural that a static file version
of a big complex page will render faster than the PHP-generated one.

You can ask Apache to flush its internal buffer by using the flush() call
from PHP, but it really isn't advised to do that too often. Apache is
buffering in order to spew out full TCP packets for maximum efficiency.
Using flush() defeats that and your application end-to-end page delivery
time will increase.

You're right...it's something we shouldn't have to do to something as
trivial as this. Manual aside, this has been discussed MANY times, and
a search of the archives would have given you your answer. So
basically, if people would take a little initiative, spend five minutes
looking for the answer to their problem, no-one here would have to say RTFM.

ok. first you publicly *attempt* to bash Jason, then send try to

Just double checking with the php crowd.
Code example:

$bar = new second_class;

var_dump(get_class_methods('second_class'));

class first_class

    function foo()

My goal (if feasable). To be able to house multiple classes under one
class, and to not have copied references of one class in
another.
For example, housing ADODB, Smarty, and other misc classes under one
class/object,
and not having a copied reference to ADODB in other "child" classes that
need access to a database.
Now to my code snippet above.
What Im testing is to see if class methods behave like regular
functions, where
it cannot be defined more than once.
Trying to define a function more than once produces an error, but it
seems that redefining a class method overwrites the previous class
method of the same name.
So if I were to work towards my goal, there is a possiblity that class
methods can overwrite themselves.
So (theoritically) if Smarty and ADODB have the same class method names,
problems would arise.

So Im looking to see if this is "normal" class behaviour.
If so, then I shouldn't even try to work towards my goal, as its not
prudent.

attached mail follows:

Method overriding is one of the core principles of any Object Oriented
(OO) language. By having second_class extend first_class you get all the
functionality of first_class, but generally you extend a class because
you want to inherit all of the functionality with a few differences. For
this reason method overriding is important to get the different
functionality but maintain the developer interface. So yes the behaviour
you are asking about is correct. Generally speaking I can't see a
problem occuring between Smarty and ADODB, since you are extending
these, and you can currently only extend one or the other. So it follows
that multiple definitions cannot occur unless you specifically attempt
to multiply define the same method.

HTH and HIU (Hope I Understood :)

Thanks for replying.
The idea that I have in mind is something like ->
1. Create a dummy class with no methods/variables (if neccessary).
class dummy
{
}

2. Have ADODB extend dummy
class ADODB extends dummy
{
    function Execute()
    {
    }
}

3. Have Smarty extend dummy
class Smarty extends dummy
{
    function display()
    {
    }
}

Repeat as neccessary for other known classes, or autoload them from a
function.
So if method overwriting is normal behaviour, then the idea I have is
potentially not sound as it can break interfaces.
Is it the best way to go, Im not sure at the moment.
I may just leave my code as it is. Im passing the DB object by
reference. So what am I worried about....
Thanks again...

I'm using the following regex:

/<tr><td class='newsitemtitle-td'>([^<]*)<\/td><td
class='newsitemposter-td'><span
class=([^>]*)>([^<]*)<\/span>([^<]*)<\/td><\/tr> <tr><td
class='newsitemcontent-td' colspan=2>([^<]*)<\/td><\/tr>/

Everything works well, except I've ran into one problem. In the last text
field, the bulk of the newsitem, sometimes the poster includes some HTML
tags (Like "<br \>", but others could be inserted). What I need to do is
modify that last submatch "([^<]*)" so that instead of matching until it
reaches a "<" (It catches on the br tag and ruins the match), it will match
until it reaches the entire <\/td> tag. Can somebody help me out with this?
I'm completely stumped about how to go about doing a "match until string" as
opposed to a "match until character".

Regards, Adam.

Pretty easy, just make the regex stuff a little less greedy .. ;)

class='newsitemcontent-td' colspan=2>(.*?)<\/td><\/tr>/

That would catch it .. And yes, the question mark is both correct and
confusing. But it doesn't mean "maybe" in here. Now let's hope that your
post doesn't include <td></tr> ..

Ps. I'm assuming you use perl compatible regexes (preg_*) and not POSIX
(ereg_*), don't know if this works for POSIX as well

I'm trying to setup PHP support on an small 2 station Intranet for
development purposes. I'm using PWS under Win98 SE. I believe I'm
experiencing a common problem, but I seem to be unable to work my way around
it. At the suggestion of several installation tutorials, after installing
it, I have made a simple PHP file including the following statement:

<?php phpinfo();?>

I'm supposed to be able to test the functioning of PHP with that simple
command to confirm it's working. Yet, all I get is a security alert:

  Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly.
  This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This
means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable
is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive.

  For more information as to why this behavior exists, see the manual page
for CGI security.

  For more information about changing this behavior or re-enabling this
webserver, consult the installation file that came with this distribution,
or visit the manual page.

I have tried for the life of me to disable the CGI.Force_Redirect or what
ever it is in the PHP.INI file but all that does is to make IE come back
with file not found.

What do I have to do to disable the security from getting in the way of
displaying PHP pages?

Sincerely,

Dalton Seymour
