Tried that, thanks, no joy.

It's almost like it parses it before it tries to execute any lines and if a
syntax error occurs, it doesn't execute any of the script.

The prior version would run up until the syntax error and then give you the
line if error, which usually meant the syntax error was on the previous
line.

Are you using output buffering? that will stop it from being displayed (it

So try turning output buffering off, or at the beggining somewhere put

I don't think any version of PHP has ever done that.

More likely your prior version of PHP had "display_errors" enabled. In general
you can enable and display all errors using:

error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

But if "display_errors" (in php.ini) is disabled then syntax errors will not
be displayed -- they can only be viewed in the error log.

It will overwrite it if it's being installed to the same location. Find
the PHP binary on your system:

$ which php

and run

$ php -i | grep -i configure

To see what options the currently running version was compiled with.

If they are suitable for you stuff them into a text file:

$ php -i | grep configure | tr -d "'" | tr -s " " "\n" | \
? grep -e '^--' > php_config.txt

Download and untar php then run configure.

$./configure `cat php_config.txt | tr -s "\n" " "`

Hi There,

I have php script to write time (testcron.php owner apache chmod 775) into file testcron.txt(owner apache chmod 775), and i want this script
running from crontab.

My problem is how to execute my script with cron. i know this question it's sound dumbs.. but i have try it and fail.... may be somebody can

This is my php script just for checking cron, i am using apache web server in linux redhat 7.3 the other tutorial say that i have to compile my php script so the cron can execute my script, but how to compile it and i don't have cgi.

<?
$waktu=date("l-j-F-Y H:i:s");
$jelaskan="Waktu test cron terbaru";
$filename_count = "testcron.txt";
$fcount = fopen ($filename_count, "w") or die("Couldn't open
$filename");
fwrite ($fcount, "$jelaskan ---> $waktu\n");
fclose($fcount);
?>

I have try to added my script in crontab, like this :

[rootcity root]# cat /etc/crontab
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/
# run-parts
#01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
#02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
01 * * * * root run-parts /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/cron/testcron.php
#22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly

Double check your file path. You may want to use an absolute path. You
might also try firing an error or an email to yourself at the beginning
of your script to see if the script is actually running. Check your cron
logs also.

Cheers,
Rob.

I believe 'run-parts' takes a directory as argument. Try:

1 * * * * root /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/cron/testcron.php

Also if you have:

#!/usr/bin/php

as the first line in testcron.php (and make it executable) then you can use
simply:

1 * * * * /var/www/html/cron/testcron.php

Another option would be to just refer to $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], in case
you don't have mod_rewrite but still want to have URLs like this.

Hope that helps.

I just learned that you can even use PHP on style sheets. Can anyone
here tell me how to set it up?

I found a page at http://www.webdeveloper.co.nz/forum/topic/50 that
apparently cites two different methods. The first is to put a php
heading at the top of a style sheet, then alter a document so that your
server will recognize the style sheet as a php page.

But someone else said all you have to do is change the page's extension
from .css to .php. I tried that, but it didn't work for me.

Are you aware of any good tutorials on using PHP with style sheets?

Thanks.

If you want PHP to parse your *.css files, you need to tell your
webserver software to do so. In Apache....

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .css

Sorry but you haven't really stumbled onto a pot of gold here or
anything. One of the methods listed just adds CSS to the PHP parsed
file list (which probably isn't the most smartest idea in the world)
and the other renames a CSS file to PHP - I'm dubious that you even
need to bother outputting the header, but haven't ever tried it to
know. Neither are exactly revolutionary and I'll doubt you'll find any
tutorials on it because it's not really doing anything unique/new.

PHP is a server-side language. If you use it to output some CSS then
by all means feel free. Others us it to output JavaScript/HTML/Java
Applet Parameters/PDF files and all kinds.

Hmmm... it sounds like using PHP with style sheets isn't a recommended

I wouldn't do it unless I had a good reason to do it. The reason that's
cited on the page you referred to
is to have different code in Netscape 4 and "real browsers". So if you
have a real need to make pages
pages to look gorgeous in Netscape 4, you might consider it. Or if you
want to do
pathologically ;-) advanced and flexible things with styles. Plain CSS
is flexible enough for me most
of the time, but it's a good idea to learn it properly.

Add this to your .htaccess file:
<Files ~ "\.css$">
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

Add this to the top of your CSS file:
<?

Then you can use it to do all sorts of stuff:

---
<?
header("Content-Type: text/css");
include("../inc/colours.inc");
?>
body {
        background-color: #<?=$col[1]?>;
        color: #<?=$col[1]?>;
        }

<? if(something) { ?>
p {
font-size: 110%;
}
<? } ?>

/*etc etc*/

Hello..

I made my Login and registration pages and everything is okay.. but what I want now is to know how to make this :

A PHP page for the administrator.. that has a TextBox (UserName).. he will enter a user name in it.. after that he will press the button (Activate).. Now by pressing that button the PHP page will search the database (A specified table) for that username, if it is exist then search his row for a field named (Activation) and then update its value into "Activated".. but if this user is not exist in that table.. a message will apear for the administrator..

Waiting your replies guys ;-)

Thanks in advance...

Cheers..

RTFM and stop sending messages to this list with a high priority. The
questions you are asking are answered in the first 3 chapters of any good
book about php.

toby

Hmmm, your problem sounds like a serious one but something everyone must
know...
I have found this site to be particularly useful http://php.net,as for some
reason these guys
seem to know what they are talking about..... after going through the
online
manual (or downloading it...),...go to this site http://google.com and
search for "RTFM" for a
total solution to these kinds of problems.

Cheers,

you should try to figure parts of it out before just asking. By us just
giving you the answer means that you aren't going to learn anything. TRy and
battle but when you get it working you will feel as if you've accomplished
something rather than cut and paste someone else's code!!

attached mail follows:

An object-oriented way of doing it: keep the extra result in a member variable and
get it separately. You might not find this necessary, but it gets more useful
in more complex cases.

class MyClass {
  var $num;
  Function MyFunc(){
    if(isset($_POST['var'])){
      $sql = mysql_query("select * from table_name where field=\"$_POST[var]\"
          ");

$this->num = mysql_num_rows($sql);

        $returnsomething ="blah blah";
    }
    return $returnsomething;
  }

function getCount() { return $this->num; }

}

Does anyone know if there is any speed advantage to saving a date as a unix
timestamp or a numeric field instead of a date field? (in Mysql)
