Is your functioning function functioning on a different machine to the

Allright, even if it's OT ....
Many ways to handle it, first would be to add a function within the
frameset which handles redirects to the frames:
<script language="javascript">
function handleFrameRedirect ( frame , url ) {
document.frames[ frame ].document.location.href = url ;
}
</script>
Within the frame you use
<script language="javascript">
parent.handleFrameRedirect( <framename> , <url> );
</script>
Another way is calling this directly within the frame:
<script language="javascript">
parent.document.frames[ <framename> ].document.location.href = <url> ;
</script>

=======================================
Please feel free to add more points and send
to the list.
=======================================
1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP
try http://www.php.net/manual/en first. You
can download a copy and use it offline also.
Please also try
http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php
for answers to frequently answered questions
about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne).
2. Try http://www.google.com next. Searching
for "php YOUR QUERY" may fetch you relevant
information within the first 10 results.
3. There is a searchable archive of the
mailing list discussion at
http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the
common topics are discussed repeatedly, and
you may get answer to your query from the
earlier discussions.
For example: One of the repeatedly discussed
question in the list is "Best PHP editor".
Everyone has his/her favourite editor.
You can get all the opinions by going through
the list archives. If you want a chosen list
try this link :
http://www.thelinuxconsultancy.co.uk/phpeditors/
(contributed by Christophe Chisogne).
4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want
find out what extensions are available to
you?
Just put the following code into a file with
a .php extension and access it through your
webserver:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
If PHP is installed you will see a page with
a lot of information on it. If PHP is not
installed (or not working correctly) your
browser will try to download the file.
(contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W
Parker)
5. If you are stuck with a script and do not
understand what is wrong, instead of posting
the whole script, try doing some research
yourself. One useful trick is to print
the variable/sql query using print or echo
command and check whether you get what you
expected.
After diagnosing the problem, send the
details of your efforts (following steps 1,
2 & 3) and ask for help.
6. PHP is a server side scripting language.
Whatever processing PHP does takes place
BEFORE the output reaches the client.
Therefore, it is not possible to access
users' computer related information (OS,
screen size etc) using PHP. Nor can you
modify any the user side settings. You need
to go for JavaScript and ask the question in
a JavaScript list.
On the other hand, you can access the
information that is SENT by the user's
browser when a client requests a page from
your server. You can find details about
browser, OS etc as reported by
this request. - contributed by Wouter van
Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker.
7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line.
Avoid general subjects like "Help!!", "A
Question" etc. Especially avoid blank
subjects.
8. When you want to start a new topic, open a
new mail composer and enter the mailing list
address php-generallists.php.net instead of
replying to an existing thread and replacing
the subject and body with your message.
9. It's always a good idea to post back to
the list once you've solved your problem.
People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject
line of their email when posting solutions.
By posting your solution you're helping the
next person with the same question.
[contribued by Chris W Parker]
10. Ask smart questions
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[contributed by Jay Blanchard)
11. Do not send your email to the list with
attachments. If you don't have a place to
upload your code, try the many pastebin
websites (such as www.pastebin.com).

hello,
wondering how you might go about triggering PHP scripts from an apache
configuration file, for certain events...
for instance, how might i trigger a script whenever a file was accessed
within a given directory. and, would it be possible to know which file
was accessed?
if the above is possible, could you also trigger different scripts for
when a "file download begins" and when a "file download finishes"?
thanks.

This would be more of an apache question. As far as I know you
can't do such a thing.

Downloading is a relative term. If you mean server -> client then
a php script can easily handle such a thing.

I have no problem with ANY other cgi or php script that I have used.

What kind of specific problems are you having with the uploads?
Make sure that error_reporting is on E_ALL and check the web server
logs for any hints. Both error and access logs.

Every uploaded file is removed from the temporary directory right after
the script is over. You have to move the file to another location.

I'm not familiar with unidata, so I dont know if they have a native
library that php can use. But if all else fails, they should
provide an ODBC interface at minimum.
So you can use unixODBC and php's odbc library to access the
database. In theory of course.
See http://php.net/uodbc for some details on how to configure php
with odbc.

An alternative to using files is to use SQLite. It is a file base sql datatase
