Everytime you use ./configure it 'reconfigures' php from scratch. Meaning you
have to specify every option you need/don't need. Thus in your case you would
probably want to do:

./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs --enable-ftp

Then you need to compile:

make

Then stop your webserver and install the newly compiled php:

make install

Then start your webserver.

Um, they all "work with Unix/Linux" -- they just mean different things.

Atime is the time a file was last accessed.
Mtime is the time the contents of a file were last modified.
Ctime is the time the metadata about a file -- length, owner, permissions,
times -- were last updated.

Hi,

just updated from beta3 (which worked fine) and now my system is hosed. I am
running Apache 1.3.29 on WinXP and when I try and simply bring up phpinfo I
get the following message in the Apache error log file:

"Premature end of script headers: c:/php/php.exe"

Anyone any idea what is causing this?? One thing I did notice is that the
Zip distribution of b4 is different to b3, for example it no longer creates
a sapi directory with the apache dll's in, so I am wondering if this problem
might be due to subtle differences in the distribution.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I currently developing a project that I wish to release under a,
preferably, open-source and "copy-left" license. So, I'm taking a close
look at the GNU GPL for this, and it seems to serve this purpose, well.
However, I am aware that the PHP license conflicts with the GNU GPL,
and, thus, anything released under the PHP license cannot also be
released in software under the GPL. At least, this is my assumption.

Now, to my question: if a PEAR package is released under the PHP
license, and my product is under the GPL, can I include the PEAR package
in my product? Under the above assumption, the answer would be no. So,
what license should I release my product under to maintain it's
copy-left status and yet still allow the PEAR packages to be included?

I don't know if this satisfies the legal requirement, but perhaps you
could script some kind of automatic PEAR installation (assuming PEAR was
already configured)?

-Dan

attached mail follows:

Ben,

You can ship the package as two separately licensed components. The
PEAR packages will retain their original licenses. If you customize the
package, then you should redistribute it as a different thing under your
own license, and probably rename the files/classes so that they don't
confuse with the PEAR package.

The only thing you cannot do is release the unomdified PEAR package
under GPL.

A better alternative is to use the LGPL, which does not force other
packages to use GPL, but is still copy-left/open-source.

Greg

P.S. I'm not an expert, this is my common sense understanding of how the
license works. The PHP License is less restrictive than GPL. You can
do anything you want with the code as long as it doesn't affect the
original code's license.

Hi,

It is better to use FullText. Convert the description field to FullText. You
will gain a powerfull control in this case. For more information on how to
use FullText read a little-bit in the MySql manual (MATCH AGAINST) commands.

Be sure you rename the "action" part of the "simple html form"
to whatever page you are using, instead of foo.php, as otherwise
it will literally attempt to access foo.php I'm guessing this
is what's happening by seeing "no input file specified".

Either fix that or on that same manual page is the example
titled "More complex form variables", this prints to itself
as it demonstrates a use of the popular $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
variable.

Also, it's important you realize the difference between POST
and GET, and how to access them, so you may want to read that
manual page too. (hint: GET is through the URL's QUERY_STRING
(the stuff after the ?) while POST is not).

Regards,
Philip

attached mail follows:

Suggestion,

Stick the following line of code in a spot in the php code that gets control
from the form submit and see what is actually being passed from the form;

foreach($_POST as $k => $v) echo "POST[".$k."] = [".$v."]<br>";

see if this shows you what you are looking for.

NOTE: if you are not using the form "POST" method, change all instances of
"POST" to "GET" in the statement.

good luck,

Warren Vail

Hi.

I'm wondering if there are any negative side affects to turning off the
trans_id? Does it just mean that the site can't keep track of a user
unless they have cookies turned on?

There are enough parts of my site that don't require a session that I
think requiring cookies is not a problem so I'm willing to turn it off.
But I imagine there's something I'm not thinking about regarding this.
If anyone can elaborate a little that'd be great!

Thanks,
Chris.

What do you mean reproduce? Copy? Create from scratch? Represent
visually?

In any case.. I'd say PHP cannot do anything but create a copy of a
file. It cannot read in data from a microphone or a cd player or the
like (as far as I know).

Copy an existing file? Yes.

Other than that, the only thing I know you can do with Mp3's is
modify/add/delete id3 tags.

Thanks, I don't know why I didn't find that. No documentation though and
some unfamiliar stuff with and references to other commands which I
guess this replaces (not sure). If so I can't figure out how to run the
thing. Below is some snippage from the code trying to get at how to use
it. I'm still interested in whether I can get the perl module to run
with PHP, it sounds like it may be a bit more reliable. I've got perl
loaded but don't know how to use it.

<snippage>
* This class encapsulates the functions iptcparse() and iptcembed(). It

Hopefully you're aware that $HTTP_USER_AGENT is an unreliable variable,
in that it is sent by the client, and can contain virtually anything.

I saw a response letting you know how to do this, but I would recommend
not sending people to different pages based on which browser/OS they're
using.

The most I would use $HTTP_USER_AGENT for is if I'm presenting a list of
different OSes (say, for links to OS-specific downloads), and I want to
select an intelligent default.

It should be possible to use CSS/(X)HTML to present your content in a
way that is accessible to whichever browser accesses your site. IMHO,
browser-sniffing to serve different content is a bad idea.

Richard,

Thanks for that, looks too simple ;-)

It's exactly what I want for this particular application.

Thanks

Hi all. Is PHP a suitable language for building an online shop? Where would
I go to find out more info on this? Thanks in advance!

Jimmy jimmy jimmy...

Now if your question is, Can PHP be the most versatile languge that one
should use for creating the best online shop ever? Then yes.

Can PHP interact with MySql and just about every other Database program to
store all your wonderful merchandise, in a nice compact easy to carry
carrying case. Then YES.

And if your also asking if PHP would be a server side scripting language
like CGI/ASP/JAVA/~.. Then YES again.

But if your asking whether or not PHP, would be able to SAY?
Log your client's information
Store your inventory
Display your merchandise
Process orders
Interact with your clients
Keep your client's informed of what's in and what's not
Manipulate your inventory records
Inform you of what's getting low for reordering
Track what's selling and what isn't
Allow online technical support through forums
Allow 24x7 access to your Storefront

And last but not least, Tuck you in at night?

Then no. It can't tuck you in at night. But PHP does all the rest and SO
MUCH MORE....Read about it here

Best Shopping cart website setup utility you'll ever need. Enjoy!

I just got finished building a site for a customer who wanted OSCommerce
(didn't want to pay for a 'real' shopping cart, or for me to build him
one), and in my 8+ years of web development, they have to be one of the
worst in most aspects.

First off, it won't install or run if you have register_globals off.
When I saw this, I said to myself, "this isn't so bad if they're writing
secure code, but it opens up ALL the code on the site." Then I started
configuring it (hacking it) to fit the customers wants and desires, and
found a few areas where it could be compromised.

Second, the code looks like it was written by someone who originaly had
no intention of releasing this code to the world. It's sloppy,
unorganized, and poorly (if at all) commented. Compare the code from an
application like phpMyAdmin to OSCommerce to see what I mean.

The only thing I have positive to say about it, is on it's ease of use
for the end user who wants to run an online store, but doesn't know
diddly about computers.

Until they fix the first issue, I will continue to recommend against
OSCommerce.

date() doesn't format according to locale but strftime() does:

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'pt_BR.ISO8859-1');
echo strftime('%A, %B %e %Y');

// output 'Quinta Feira, Fevereiro 12 2004'
