Hmm... Well Rasmus, I do see your point, however it still seems to me it
'should' at least compile and work as I expect it to.

My way, the logic is that the file *is* 'required' (whereas I view 'include'
files as optional), and I want to exit the program with a graceful message
instead of the fatal error (which doesn't really doesn't tell me what the
problem is -- "Failed opening required '1'" doesn't mean anything to me or
the user) that is shown. My intent was to put a require_once() so that I
could do just that. Especially since I'm running my script on the command
line, and your stock fatal error message uses HTML tags.

Not a critical bug or a show stopper, but I do still feel it is a bug.

Remove your 'or die()' and the message "required opening required
'1'" will show up properly.

About the html errors:
1. Use the php parameter -dhtml_errors=off
2. create a php-cli.ini in the location were php reads current php.ini
3. Use the -c parameter to tell php to use a different ini file
to read.

Ivone --

You are using a PERL invocation for php. PHP scripts begin with
<?php

the # sign is a comment in PERL - not in PHP.

To run php as cgi you need to install the php cgi version (as opposed to
the apache modular installation.) That will allow you to run cgi
scripts on the command line.

Hi Nicole!

Thanks for your reply!

I'm a little confused:
Do I need to compile the php as cgi? I thought it was
when you wanted to run php from commanline: as
./pruebacgi.php
(Servers-CGI/Commandline)

But in my case I want to call a php like that:
http://xx.yy.zz/cgi-bin/pruebacgi.php
and this php has this line #!/usr/local/bin/php

Do I have to compile a php as a cgi, or do I need to
do something on the apache server? Please could you
clarify my doubts.

For example this is a sample of the code:

<?php
header("Content-Type: text/vnd.wap.wml");
$log=2;

$fp1 = fopen("logs/$HTTP_X_UP_SUBNO.get_location",
"a");
$separador="-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- ".date("l dS of F Y
h:i:s A")." -x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-";
$qerror="0";
?>

<?echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"
encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>\r\n";?>

#! is not a perl invocation, it is a Unix convention to tell the shell
which program should be used to process the file contents. If you are
running PHP as a CGI from a webserver, chances are good you do want
#!/path/to/php as the first line, and <?php on the next line.

I don't think you can pass a flag like #!/usr/bin/php -q though, and I
doubt you would want to, since you still need to send the headers upon
first output. If you did not send headers and just started outputting, the
server would return a 500 Internal Server Error.

The directory you're running it from needs to have ExecCGI permission
(i.e. /cgi-bin/) and assuming no special setup has been done, you probably
want to start the file off with that #! line as mentioned above. Also, you
may want to try naming the file .cgi

> the # sign is a comment in PERL - not in PHP.

# also denotes a comment in PHP. Though #! is not a comment, per se.
(However, if you feed the file directly to some interpreter like perl, it
does have the benefit of being ignored as a comment.)

CGI stands for common gateway interface, which is the interface between a
web server/request and some external program, so it has little to do with
the command line. However, to run PHP from the command line, you do need
to run it with the "CGI version" of PHP. The question did not specify
needing to run PHP from the command line, but as a CGI by the webserver.

It's not suddenly, someone must have recompiled php without gd/jpg support.

Hey! You're both in violation of Internal Rule #44.15/78 by following up
on this thread! This is illegal! Or not. Or whatever. But anyway! I hope
you're up to date with The Reg's last updates on Fermat's legal issues.

% Thank you for clearing up my rather lame explanation.

% So how can I process $_POST[dynamic-name][user-entered-value] arrays to give
% me my desired output:
%
% fname0 = value flab0 = value fplc0 = value

Do you really want a variable called $fname0 and another $fname1 and so
on, or do you just want this output? It seems to me that you probably
want the latter, so you need only walk through your array:

foreach ( array_keys($_POST[fname]) as $k )
 {
 print "fname$k = {$_POST[fname][$k]} " ;
 print "flab$k = {$_POST[flab][$k]} " ;
 print "fplc$k = {$_POST[fplc][$k]} \n" ;
 }

Hi Wouter,

The only disadvantage to assigning to $this is that it may not be
supported in PHP 5 - php-internals discussion has described it as a bad
idea. I would get beta 2 and test it out, see what happens.

Incidentally, you don't need to unset new, and I would use

$this =& $New;

Hey all.

Hope this will help someone hours of useless searching.

Looks like out-of-the-box winXP machines running IE6 have session cookies
automatically disabled!

Ughhhh, 24 hours slogging through newsgroups to stumble across this solution
myself.

If you have a login based site & rely on session(s), IE6 users will not be
able to log in unless they do the following:

1) Internet Options >> Privacy >> Advanced

2) Check the "Always Allow Session Cookies" checkbox

Hi,

I'm designing my site to use drop down menus, and am having php
generate the content of the main manus, as well as the sub-menus. What
I'm wondering is what the performance hit will be with putting all the
menu variables into an array in a config file vs storing the info in a
MySQL table, and retriving the data from there. The main menu data is
currently in a config file, and takes up 1.4kb, so I can only assume
that with how many sub-menus that to config it all in a static array,
the filesize is going to be well over 20kb. The data would have to be
read into memory from both the static file, or from the db, so which do
you think would be the fastest and/or least memory intensive? Thanks
for any suggestions.

Hi John

A common solution I once found for saving database operation time, was to
store information from the db in some kind of file.

You could for example have a database with all the data, but you run a
special script when there is any updates that updates a include file with
the data.

Under the generation process, you can simply make a script to get the data,
and dynamically make a php file that will be stored.

...[snipped]...

Instead of "generating" the menu(s) each time, why not create a static
[HTML] file which you can "call" by using file_get_contents() or
something and just "insert" it where it's needed?

Just an idea...

Hi, all --

As has been discussed before, the nl2br function doesn't actually convert
newlines to breaks but instead is more like "nl2nlbr". That is,

  input
  like
  this

becomes

input
 like
 this

instead of

input like this

as the name would indicate.

I need a true nl2br function to get rid of newlines; I am accepting a
changed ini file parameter but the newline kills me.

I tried

$v = preg_replace("/\n/"," ",$v) ;

but, even though $v had embedded newlines and wasn't merely a single line
of that input, it didn't work. If this were perl I'd think that perhaps
I'd change my record delimiter but I don't know how to do that in php.

Any ideas?

Right, I did not think about dos (\r\n) newlines. But Leif's code does
not consider mac newlines (\r) :-). This takes care of all:

$string = str_replace(array("\r\n","\n","\r"), ' ', $string);

Neither did I; after all, nothing in my loop is running DOS!

Are you sure about that? He had

"/\r\n|\n|\r"

which, once I close the search delimiter, certainly should capture a mac
end-of-line...

%
% $string = str_replace(array("\r\n","\n","\r"), ' ', $string);

Hmmm... I didn't try it as an array, but str_replace() failed for me
with both "\n" and "\r\n"...

I mucked about with it again and got it to work as long as I used an
array for $search... I must have had a typo last time. Well, yay; I
can rest easy knowing that I am using the faster function.

Now, believe it or not, I'm trying to put the newlines BACK IN so that my
users don't ever know the difference :-) It works fine so far except
that I have a caching problem, I think, since upon load it's fine but the
load-after-change just shows in the field. But I'm getting close :-)

Aha! Sure enough, that did it. In fact, just

\r\n

worked for me, but as long as I'm looking for both I might as well look
for each. Who would think that input would be converted to DOS format?

This tickles the back of my mind as something that I've seen before, now
that it's shown to me again... I'm going to have to go looking now that
I know the answer to see if I can find it in the archives.

Just now discussion was going on for new line - the same worked for me (I

I want to export this to csv file. PHPMyAdmin 2.0 version has one option to
convert to csv with delimiter e.g ';' .

If I do not use string replace command then '\n' goes as a new row. If i
replace it with then it appears in the Excel that is also I do not

Good question.

The first thing I would try is embedding a return in a spreadsheet file
and then exporting that as CSV and see how Excel writes it, and then as a
close second read it back in and see if Excel can read it. Once you know
the format you can work to output the same thing from your php script.

So my csv fil looks like

22;33;address line1
address line2

What excel does is it shows this as 2 different lines. But this all should
be in one line.

if replace \n with then

22;33;address line1 address line2

Do u mean to say i need to write script only to produce proper '.csv' file ?

OK. So what does Excel do if you start with data like that and then
export to CSV? Can you have multi-line "records" in Excel? If so, are
they written as such?

You have started a new thread by taking an existing posting and replying to
it while you changed the subject.

That is bad, because it breaks threading. Whenever you reply to a message,
your mail client generates a "References:" header that tells all recipients
which posting(s) your posting refers to. A mail client uses this information
to build a threaded view ("tree view") of the postings.

With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature; your
posting shows up within an existing thread it has nothing to do with.

Always do a fresh post when you want to start a new thread. To achieve this,
click on "New message" instead of "Reply" within your mail client, and enter
the list address as the recipient. You can save the list address in your
address book for convenience.
