what is a 4 days diary? why does it need to be scheduled every 30 mins?
what is "rdv"?

i think you mean OOP? Object Oriented Programming? my answer would be
"yes".

Objet : RE: [PHP] a 4 days diary
So... all datas will be in a mysql base. Many users are gonna use this
system (check the list of exhibitors, ask appointment by mail) and if the
exhibitor accept the appointment I have to insert it my table.
My problem is I don't know how to proceed to have a good code for this
'cause I have to post on the web site the 4 days calendar to the visitor
after he has logged in. So I think I have to use OOP but to draw the
calendar (is with a table a good idea).
Sorry I have trouble to explain it in english
If you have to handle this how do you start your code
Is there any trap I have to escape etc...

well there's a lot of things you're going to need to do, and whether or
not you use OOP is up to you.
for your database you'll need the following:
1. a table for the events
2. a table for the participants
3. a table for the appointments. this table will link the participants
to the events.
for your code you'll need to make sure you have some sort of login
system and a way to make appointments by email. the appointment requests
can be a simple form that is sent via the mail() function
(http://php.net/mail).
i can't write your application for your so i hope this helps give you a
starting point.

Hello, all.
I've got a problem, and this is the best place I know of to find the
solution.
I have three PHP programs I'm trying to run. One functions just fine
(located in the home directory, this is a simple mileage tracker for a
couple of my automobiles). One is a feedback form (SMTP), and the other
is a test file only has :
<?php phpInfo(); ?>
Here's the results :
mileage.php - works perfectly
phpinfo.php - results in :
httpd in malloc(): error: allocation failed
[Thu Jun 24 10:18:29 2004] [notice] child pid 19655 exit signal Abort (6)
feedback.php - results in :
[Thu Jun 24 10:19:23 2004] [notice] child pid 19652 exit signal Bus
error (10)
Those log messages are not what I call good. On the phpinfo.php script,
the memory usage on the server goes through the roof before the messages
get printed to the log file. I'm using FreeBSD5.2-RELEASE, and PHP
4.3.6 running under Apache 2.0.49. I've compiled both apache and
mod_php from ports (similar to "rpm -i"), and also directly from the
source code, to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is
actually occuring?

first:
does this happen if you run the script from the command line?
second:
How is php configured? You can get the configure line if you
isue:
php -i
And Finally try this:
apachectl stop
Run:
> gdb /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
When your at the prompt:
(gdb) run -X -d /usr/local/apache
Then access your phpinfo page via you're browser.
Back at the (gdb) prompt, if apache crashed you will be able to
issue:
{gdb) bt
Whats the contents of that?

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
attached mail follows:
The script works perfectly from the command line. It turns out to be
related directly to Apache 2.0 and the handling of buckets.
gdb gave me a great deal of information. It told me that I have another
module trying to read from an apr_bucket of type POOL which is supplied
by the PHP module. In my module, I put in a line of code to log the
bucket type and also print the contents if it is a POOL type bucket. It
appears that every bucket contains the same thing. It also logs a
bucket type (bucket->type->name) that I have never seen :
bucket type \x18\x10\n\b\x18\x80\x16\b\x18\xe0\x0e\b\x1c\x10\n\bxB\x16\b
So, is there a special way that PHP is supposed to tell other modules
that the brigade is complete (the EOS bucket obviously is not working).
Additionally, the gdb output revealed that the service is calling
lockname() in the PHP module a great deal. I don't know if this is a
normal occurance or not (output snipped below) :
#12 0x284d6363 in lockname () from /usr/local/libexec/apache2/libphp4.so
#13 0x284a6b46 in lockname () from /usr/local/libexec/apache2/libphp4.so
... snip a lot of lines that are the same ...
#27 0x28496e26 in lockname () from /usr/local/libexec/apache2/libphp4.so
#28 0x284d7361 in lockname () from /usr/local/libexec/apache2/libphp4.so
Is it normal to call lockname() that much in PHP? The configuration
line is :
'./configure' '--enable-versioning' '--enable-memory-limit'
'--with-layout=GNU' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--disable-all'
'--with-regex=php' '--disable-cli' '--enable-ctype'
'--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--enable-overload' '--with-pcre-regex=yes'
'--enable-posix' '--enable-session' '--enable-tokenizer'
'--with-expat-dir=/usr/local' '--enable-xml' '--with-zlib=yes'
'--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' '--prefix=/usr/local'
'i386-portbld-freebsd5.2'
I've put the query out on the apache-modules development mailing list,
but think this is still the more appropriate place to check, because it
is directly related to the PHP module. Any suggestions?

First let me thank you for pointing me to PEAR. Now for the problem. Here is
my code:

$serverName = "pxt010";
$dir = "/home/ossadmin/";
$file = "server-info.temp";
$nfile = "server-$serverName.spec";

$snr = File_SearchReplace("server-temp", "server-$serverName", $nfile,
$dir, false, $ignoreline);
$snr -> doSearch();
} else {
print "<h3>File does not Exist</h3>";
}
?>
Here is my output:
File exists.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_searchreplace() in

I have tried both include ... and require_once ... with the same result.

I think I've been looking at the same code for so long, I'm missing the
blatantly obvious stuff now... I can't believe I didn't think of that.

What is the simplest approach? And should I use a different approach
to compare three or more arrays to find only duplicates that occur in
all of them?

Hi. I want to query some data in MYSQL and show the results in page order in
some fashion (ORDER BY ...)
I've been using the LIMIT sentence like this
LIMIT offset, max_per_page
so if max_per_page = 5 then the first time the sentence will be "LIMIT 0,
5", in page 2 "LIMIT 5,5" and so no.
My problem is how to calculate how many rows the result returned. By now,
the first time I'm querying without the LIMIT sentenced, and then store
mysql_num_rows() to know have many pages there will be (i.e. maxrows =
mysql_num_rows()/5).
Is this right? Is there other efficent way to do it?
What about if data changes (i.e. new records are added) while the user
browses through pages?
Thanks!

on each page do a:
SELECT count(*) FROM table WHERE your_condition
this will give you your total number of results

I had the same problem a few months ago. I switched to Mail::mime
thinking that the problem was my homebrew code, but still the same
thing -- Outlook didn't recognize the message as multipart.
The fix was changing the newline sequence from "\r\n" to "\n".
The Mail::mime constructor allows you to change this value, so in my
code the change boiled down to:
$mime = new Mail_mime ("\n");
Hope this works for you.

This looks like a bug in the mail() function.
You may want to try this class for composing and sending messages that
comes with an example for sending HTML messages with alternative text
parts. The class has some workarounds to some of the mail() function
problems.

Hi,
The problem I had has not exactly the same, but quite close,
it was to make a pure xml template system both data and template,
anyway it was due to the same expat design problem, which is
the entities that are located in attribute values inside tags.
The solution I have used was just to preserve expat from parsing entities,
and only need 2 additionnal lines in the script (3 with the constant define;).
Just after the input replace the char '&' with something else,
and just before the output put it back :
/** Preserve entities from removal */
define('ENTITY_PRESERVE', '£$¥¤');
[...]
#replacement at input :
while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {
$data = str_replace('&', ENTITY_PRESERVE, $data); // HERE
if (!xml_parse($this->_parser, $data, feof($fp))) {
die(sprintf("XML error: %s at ligne %d",
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}
}
[...]
#replacement for output with your code :
function start_tag($parser, $name, $attrs)
{
global $text;
if($name == "CUSTOMTEXT") {
$text = $attrs['TEXT'];
$text = str_replace(ENTITY_PRESERVE, '&', $text); // Put '&' back !
}
// more tags here ..
}
I am sure that there could be better solutions.
If someone know about one, please email me :)
Cheers

I was browsing the net and I found a PHP chat script that claimed that it
does not refresh, rather it has "streaming text". This got my interest and
was wondering how the script did it. I downloaded it's source code but
couldn't find anything useful in it, very hard to read in my opinion. I did
a search on PHP.net for streaming but I couldn't understand much of that,
just my noobishness I suppose.
How exactly would you go about streaming in PHP anyway? This has my interest
now...

To use "streaming", you have to :
Turn off output buffering: ob_end_clean()
and flush the output has it comes : flush()
It is useful to note that :
"Some versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer will only start to display
the page after they have received 256 bytes of output, so you may need
to send extra whitespace before flushing to get those browsers to
display the page. "
and
"Pad your output with necessary spaces, wrap your progressing data
around open (<table>) and end (</table>) tags, and then call flush() so
that one script will work for Netscape as well.

I just put it into my script, and it doesn't seem to be working. I put
ob_end_clean(); at the top of the script, but here's the while loop I have:
while($db->next_record()):
echo '<b>'.$db->Record["user"].':</b> ';
$sql = "SELECT emote, image FROM c_emotes";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $db->linkid);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$emotes[] = $row['emote'];
$images[] = "<img src='".$row['image']."'>";
}
if($db->Record['system'] != 1) {
$message = htmlentities($db->Record["text"]);
} else {
$message = $db->Record["text"];
}
$message = str_replace($emotes, $images, $message);
echo $message."<br>\n";
flush();
endwhile;
It displays just fine if you refresh, but unless you refresh, you don't see
any new data. Any ideas?

attached mail follows:
It will use up CPU time and bandwidth, yes. It should take less
bandwidth than the "refresh constantly" version, but only if you code
it right.
You could also write a little JS to pull some content from the server
(get messages after a certain time / message id) and inject them into
the page. This is really the best solution if you want to stay in the
browser and not do Flash or Java.

attached mail follows:
I've been wracking my brains for the past few hours trying to figure out
this streaming business and the ways to avoid refreshing and polling the
server for data. I spent a few hours playing Sherlock Holmes in the
phpOpenChat software which is where I first found this technique, but I
didn't succeed.
The most I could find out is that it does indeed use output buffering, but
I'm not quite sure how it's looping the data (most I could find out it was
doing a do {} while() loop with an array called $lines) to display it
without illeffects on the processor. On top of that, I couldn't figure out
how it was printing and checking lines over and over again for a new message
to show in all the other client windows.
So my question is, does anyone know how the phpOpenChat system works? Can
anyone provide some insight into the world of "streaming" and avoiding the
refresh game?
I was also thinking of Javascript like you said, but again, I came back to
refreshing and then I can to XML HTTP Request but it's not supported well
with browsers. Any help here would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Stephen Craton
