Sorry to butt in and disrupt the conversation that you're having with yourself
and evidently enjoying, try disabling "output_buffering" in php.ini.

Are both websites on the same machine? If so, you can just use a common
session.save_path and pass the session_id when changing servers.
If the websites are on different machines, then you'll need to use a
database for sessions and ensure the database is accessible by each site.

You have to use session_set_save_handler() to register your session
handling functions. One thing I would point out is that you need to lock
the session storage, in this case one row in a table. As mysql cannot
lock a row, only whole table, I would sugest you use GET_LOCK and
RELEASE_LOCK mysql functions (with session id as the lock name) to
implement session locking.

yes, website is on same machine, but if there is to and fro from 2 websites,

if at all i decide to go for database then do i need 'session.save_handler'

Nothing will happen as you'll be using the same session file so it will
not be cleaned up. What don't you try reading the page for
session_set_save_handler() and start from there...

Basically you just need to override the default session handler and
provide your own session functions that will use a MySQL table instead of
/tmp. Try this:

Alright lets clean the slate here. I think we all
mean well and that is what counts. I apologize if I
offended anybody.
Incidentally I can't quite explain the solution to my
dillemma. The following is a description of the
Problem and the Solution:
Problem:
I am running apache/php server. If I populate a form,
send it and then click back I see a blank form.
Solution:
I had some prefilled form elements where I set the
value of such form element. For example I had
input type = "hidden" VALUE="whatever" ... at the
beginning of the form.
when I took that hidden variable out and had it at
the end of the form after all the other elements I the
problem was solved. Actually any element with its
value preset should go to the end of the form. In that
case when I hit back my form was prefilled the way I
submitted it.
It is funny I have been doing this for a while and
this is the first time I had to investigate such a
problem. I am using mozilla 5.00 or netscape 5.0 on
linux. I presume explorer wouldn't have that problem.
Hope you don't run into this problem and waste few
hours pulling hair like I did.
Cheers and thanks to everyone who tried to help me.

Are you saying you have something like this:
<input type="text" name="foo" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="bar">
in order to set a default value? If that's the case, you'll never get
your value of "foo" from the textbox as the hidden value will overwrite it.
The entire issue is up to the client's browser and has nothing to do
with PHP. It's up to each browser whether it keeps your values or not;
I've seen it happen both ways with different browsers.

odd, yes, but completely client dependent, so PHP isn't going to help.
The only possible thing I can think of that might help this is playing
with what headers you send along with the page that has the form. Maybe
if the browser is directed to cache the page, it'll also save your
filled in form data... or vise versa... PHP can send the headers of
course, but you'll have to play around and there's no guarantee that
it'll be the same with each browser...

This is a client caching issue and is beyond your control, unless you
want to delve into the depths of JavaScript.

I don't believe there is one command that does all this, so you've already
ruled out one good option, but you can use PHPMyAdmin. Do you have

There may be a shorter way, but the only thing I can think of at the
moment is to do this via multiple queries ie
query to create new database
query to read tables and structure in old db
queries to create new tables in new db
queries to dump data from old tables
queries to load data to new tables
You may want to try the mysql list to see if this can be done in one query.

You'll need to do it with PHP...
Here's one method...
<?php
//connect to database
$database = 'xxx'; //name of database to copy
$ndatabase = 'yyy'; //name of new database
mysql_query("CREATE DATABASE $ndatabase");
$rs = mysql_query("SHOW TABLES FROM $database");
while($r = mysql_fetch_row($rs))
{
mysql_select_db($database);
$rs2 = mysql_query("SHOW CREATE TABLE {$r[0]}");
$ctable = myqsl_result($rs,0);
mysql_select_db($ndatabase);
mysql_query($ctable);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO {$r[0]} SELECT * FROM {$database}.{$r[0]}");
}
?>
Untested... but should work (when run as a user with suitable
permissions). :)

I'm not sure what user PHP runs as when using CGI, so you'll probably
need to give "Everyone" permission to read/write to the directory this
script is run in.
Right click on the folder, choose the Security tab, and add Everyone as
a user with the appropriate permissions.

In IIS -- you have to set the permissions to "write" for the folder
that you want to your script to be able to write to (from the IIS manager)

Jhon you mentioned that one may send a batch of
queries with mysql_list? maybe I understood you wrong.
I am translating an MS-SQL application into
mysql/php. I need to be able to send a batch of
queries all at once. For example:
$qStr = " Insert into A(name, address)
values('$name', '$address') ; Insert into B(personID,
department ...)values (identity, '$department');" ;
$result= mysql_query($qStr, $link) ;
In this case I inserted in two tables. for some
reason it doesn't allow me to have to sql statements
in $qStr. Is there a way around that.
My other option is to have one sql statement per
query .... but this would be very inefficient if I
have ti do tens of inserts in one batch ...
Cheers.

No, you can only run one query at a time.

well, for one thing, don't use ereg. Use pcre, as it is faster.
preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9]{5,16}$/',$blah);
that will validate a password containing only upper or lowercase letters
and numbers, between 5 and 16 characters.

It's an excelent password. I think you should change your root password
to that on all systems you have root on. Oh, and another thing....send

What you can't find at php.net/manual/en you can find on google. But I have a
question for you..... Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a subnet mask of
255.255.248.0 invalid??? I thought it had to be 255's and 0's.
This seems like laziness..

Umm.. no. For a given network, say 10.0.0.0, a subnet mask of
255.255.248.0 yields the following range of possible node addresses:
10.0.0.1 to 10.0.7.254.

Thanks for that clarification. That might actually solve some problems

Homework or otherwise. Back when I was in school I had to look it up
myself. I didn't use mailing lists, newsgroups, etc. for easy answers:)

Using imagettftext() would be the easiest. As the lastest versions of PHP are
bundled with GD *and* have native support for TrueType fonts it really isn't
too difficult for your host to recompile PHP to enable such support.

Good idea. You need to make sure user-inputted data is valid.
: ##

: box?
There's two general ways to do data validation: client-side and
server-side. PHP is server-side. JavaScript is client-side.
With PHP, you allow the user to enter any data in the textbox, then code
in logic to check for illegal characters (e.g. no letters in a textbox
for one's phone number). Of course you must also code a nice response
to let the user know when the data is found to be illegal, repost the
form, etc.
With JavaScript, you can do data validation as they press the submit
button, or even disallow illegal characters as they type in a textbox.
The response is far more immediate and thus far more effective, IMHO.
Of course, if the user's web browser isn't running JavaScript, bad data
may still slip through. Then you must use PHP and do server-side data
validation.

Thanks Eugen,
I'm familiar with the concepts, but I've seen sites with textboxes that
would not show any letter typed - only numbers are displayed in the textbox.
This is what I like but don't know how to achieve. :-)

Base on what I mentioned earlier, it sounds like you're looking for
JavaScript-based data validation. Your best bet is to look at examples
of JavaScript code. Here's a link to HotScript.com:

PHP Version: 4.2.2
Hi
I had a problem with my session name.
In the php.ini, was set the default name PHPSESSID from the default
installation. Now i have the problem, that i use the name "audience" for
my webapplikations with PHPope (http://www.phpope.org)
I Set the name in the script with the following code:
session_name("audience");
session_set_cookie_params(time()+9999999, "/", $config["default"]["cookiedomain"]);
session_cache_limiter('no_cache');
session_start();
Now i had the problem, that i lost the session after login. The server
forgave me a new session which called PHPSESSID and not audience :-(
Now i have changed the value session.name in my php.ini to audience and it
works!
What's the problem here? A bug?
I have enabled session.auto_start.

This is the problem, the session is started before your script executes
and sets the session name. Disable session.auto_start
attached mail follows:
PHP Version 4.3.3
Ok i have disabled the autostart. Now is my problem, that php us the
transparent sessions, because it append it in the URL. After the login,
all works fine, but after 5-6 clicks, i loose the session.
It send me a Cookie :
Set-Cookie: audience=a01b3fcf7cb587eee3ac61bc83edebe4; expires=Wed, 25-Dec-1901 16:01:15 GMT; path=/; domain=www.privatmarkt.com
My mozilla is adjusted to accept all cookies.
I'm confused. What is with the time? 25-Dec-1901 16:01:15 GMT!!
I set the time in the futur with the following code:
session_set_cookie_params(time()+9999999, "/", $config["default"]["cookiedomain"]);

Hi there,
I would like to create a multilanguage website with php. I heared the
easiest way is to create an xml file and use this package:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/php-xml/?topic_id=92%2C96%2C914
This still looks complicated for me, beside the fact that it depends on
an external package. Is there not a possibility to do this without an
external package, just with php?
Thanx for any info on that,

The package seems to be just php. If you don't want it to be "external",
you can include it with you webapp.
Other options are constants (most widely used), variables and gettext.
