I am having a few problems compiling PHP 5 RC 3. I am following the
tutorial at http://uk.php.net/install.apache2 and everything works up
until I start to compile PHP. It all seems to work fine but then when
running make at the end I get:

ln: creating hard link 'libxml.o' to 'libxml.lo': Operation not
permitted
make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1

I am running this as root so I don't get why I am not permitted to do
this. I am also fairly new to Linux (about half a year) so please don't
reply with anything too compicated.

Thanks,
Luca Spiller

P.S. I have posted this here as well as in the installation problems
list as this seems much more active.

Possibly because creating a hard link between two partitions is not
allowed you will have to use a symbolic link instead. (ln -s)

PDO has a long way to go to catch up with ADOdb, and I think that
demonstrates one of the strengths of PHP. There is a large developer
base working on solutions to their own problems, but making the results
freely available to everybody.

I did a couple of papers at the Firebird Conference last month, one of
which was on PHP. While researching it I found a set of useful figures
on the http://www.securityspace.com/sspace/index.html site
Todays figures
http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/200405/index.html
Apache has 70% of the world market
http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/man.200405/apachemods.html
PHP is installed on 52% of those machines ( and that does not include
the IIS machines its running on ! )

I'd already standardised on PHP5, but those figures gave me a warm
feeling when I confirmed them.

Add Firebird and you have a package of Webserver, Scripting and Database
that is totally free and runs of Linux or Windows - which ever your
customer insists on.

Objections - It's not compiled. This is both a good and bad thing. The
advantage is that minor changes in a page can be made almost on the fly
without having to rebuild the whole application. IF speed becomes a
problem then one of the caching packages can be added, and if that is
not good enough, then you can easily load share, by running two or more
machines. One or more running Apache/PHP, and a second (or more )
running the database.

PHP5 is not released yet, but personally I've had no problems with the
prerelease stuff in the last few months and no failures on the demo
machine at all in that time. Try ibWebAdmin.lsces.co.uk to see what can
be done.

I'm not positive I understand you correctly, but I think this will
answer your question.

Example Classes:
class ParentClass
{
    function __construct()
    {
        echo 'ParentClass::__construct()',"\r\n";
    }
}
class ChildClass extends ParentClass
{
/*
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        echo 'ChildClass::__construct()',"\r\n";
    }
//*/
}
class GrandChildClass extends ChildClass
{
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        echo 'GrandChildClass::__construct()',"\r\n";
    }
}

__construct is just like any other method, if you overload it (redefine
it in a child class), the parent method will not be called
automatically, so, if you want the functionality of both, you can call
the parent constructor from the childs constructor. If the direct parent
doesn't have a constructor, the next parent's constructor is checked and
so on.

In the above example when defining a GrandChildClass, its constructor
and the ParentClass::__construct() are will both run. If you uncomment
ChildClass::__construct(), it will run as well.

attached mail follows:

Yeah you understood me, thanks god :D but not fully :(

But the problem is right in your code (sorry :D)

What if I create an instance of ChildClass, its constructor won't be
called (since it commented out), but if I un-comment its constructor, it
will be called even if I create an instance of GrandChildClass?

Let me make some simple diagram ;)

Class1 <-- Class2 <-- Class3 <-- Class4

If I create an instance of Class4, then Class4's constructor and
Class1's constructor must be called, neither Class3 nor Class2.

You can see that Class1's constructor will always be called, and the
constructor of the lowest class in the class tree will be called.

I think this is a bit complex, I can define a final function in Class1,
and call it in every deriver class constructor, it will solve the
problem (I think) but it's not convenience, I want it done automatically...

Any idea are welcome :D

attached mail follows:

Well, when you instantiate Class4 PHP will check for it's constructor.
If it has one, it will call it. If not it will check Class3, then
Class2, then Class1.

Once it finds a constructor, it stops looking for more, but if you want
it to resume checking the the parents for constructors you must call
parent::_construct() from the one it found.

If you define a constructor in Class4, It will run in all but one
circumstance. If a child has a constructor, but does not call
parent::_construct() from it. That would stop this waterfall effect.

Because /$GrandChildClass;/ Is an object. So when you go to echo it, PHP
tries to convert it to a string.

Try var_dump($GrandChildClass) or print_r($GrandChildClass) everytime
you need to inspect variable content. Not echo...

Hei,

Regarding the jpg compression, we did some testing along with our customers
press buereu's (I think thats the name, the ones that do all the prints and
designs the logoes and such). Here we did som testing on the images
and the quality.

What we experienced was that if we converted the images to JPG with
a quality of 10 it was good enough for most people. I however still use
11 just to be safe. (We are ofcourse talking about >300DPI images)

So there you have it, quality 10 is still good enough quality for print.
However - be aware of another stupid fact - people expecting high resolution
downloads wont download a 4-5mb jpg image, since it cant (?) be good
enough quality... They are simply expecting a 50MB tif image since this
is what they are working with normally. This is infact a huge problem!

So much depending on you customers, but saving as a jpg should be just fine.

If this is not an option and you still want to not have session id's
appended when a searchengine robot comes to your site, you could detect the
UA and just do not start a session in that case.

This question has been often asked in the past, the archives are rich
with solutions. One solution is NOT to create a direct download link but
to deliver the file via a php script (fpassthru) that can check login
status. Another is to use .htpasswd protection you will find lots of
details in the archives.

One way is to store all your download files outside of the webroot and/or
protect the directory with .htacces. Then use PEAR's HTTP_Download to serve
the files as a download to the user:
http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Download

Hope this helps. Regards,

Hi :)

I am on my second week of php so be gentle

I am creating an XML file out of a mysql query with nested arrays.
Currently I can get 1 element and 1 child with a properly formatted XML
file with the below script .

My question is: How do I add 3 to 4 more child elements to the below
'playlist' array ?
Currently ,I have one parent 'Artist' and one child 'english' ...
I need to add more child elements to the 'Artist' array like urlPath,
spanish, biography, etc

Do I have to add another dimension to the 'playlist' array? Do I need
another foreach loop ?
Is there an easier more efficient way to do this?
Be nice to spell out the schema in some way in the script...in case you
need to add more levels...like a 'subCategory'

I am a bit new to this so any help would be greatly appretiated ....
head is spinning a bit

$sql = 'SELECT artist.artist_name, media.english, media.path ';
$sql .= 'FROM media, artist ';
$sql .= 'WHERE artist.artist_id = media.artist_id LIMIT 0, 30 ';

$result = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$playlist[$row['artist_name']] [] = $row['english'];
//would like to add more children here...
}

$xml = "<sirenreels>\n";

foreach ($playlist as $artist => $media)
{
$num_media = count($media);
            $xml .= "<artist>\n";
            
            $xml .= "\t<meta>\n";
            $xml .= "\t\t<title>".$artist."</title>\n";
        $xml .= "\t</meta>\n";
        
        $xml .= "\t<content>\n";

foreach ($media as $mediaVal)
{
                        $xml .= "\t\t<media>\n";
                        $xml .= "\t\t\t<english_name>".$mediaVal."</english_name>\n";
                        ///add more children
                        ///add more children
                        $xml .= "\t\t</media>\n";
                        
}
                         
        $xml .= "\t</content>\n";
        $xml .= "</artist>\n";
}
$xml .= "</sirenreels>\n";
print $xml
