Reply to the group, not just to me - there are a lot of people smarter than I on
this list. Based on your class I can see that you're simply creating your
objects with the wrong parameters - you've switched position and name. Just
change your while loop to:
while (!$res->EOF)
{
$f = $res->fields;
// Position and name switched
$collection->Add(new Amenity($f['position'], $f['name'], $f['context']));
$res->MoveNext();
}

Overwriting at that index is intended.

*/
public function Amenity($position, $name, $context)
{
$this->position = $position;
$this->name = $name;
$this->context = $context;
}
/**
* Returns a string representation of the object
*
* Dependent on the value of the state member, ToString() returns

* - AMENITY_STATE_TRUE a "Y" is returned
* - AMENITY_STATE_FALSE an "N" is returned

*/
public function ToString()
{
switch ($this->state)
{
case AMENITY_STATE_TRUE:
return "Y";
break;
case AMENITY_STATE_FALSE:
return "N";
break;
case AMENITY_STATE_INHERIT:

}
}

As you can see, it is in order.
Even now that I’ve removed the iterators, I’m still running into this problem
when accessing the value of an array containing these objects (sometimes). Very
strange behaviour!

attached mail follows:
The reason I know this is because it works the first time I create this collection, but then when I clone the object, and try to view it's insides using the debugger (Zend IDE 3.5) by pressing on the plus sign (indicating that it recognizes this as an instantiated object), it suddenly says the insides are null, and throughs a PHP notice (the one in the subject) to the debugging console.
How can you explain that?

There are many things that can be going wrong. First thing is that
your collection object is relying on an external value for its
internal index.
Second, being that it is external, the value may be repeating
itself, or as what has been pointed out earlier, is being converted
to true/false.
Third, from the looks of the code, it looks like your trying to
force the index to be the order of the position of the object:
<?php
$ar[5] = 'last';
$ar[1] = 'first';
$ar[4] = 'second';
print_r($ar);
/*
Array
(
[5] => last
[1] => first
[4] => second
)
*/
As noted in the output, php simply pushes new key/values to the
end.
Fourth, how are you accessing the array to get the 'cannot find
element in variable' error. I've never heard of such an error.
And finally, print_r($this->arr_objects), each time you Add(), and
see how exactly the array looks each time. If you have more than
two elements after the last Add(), then your iterator is most
likely not working properly.

You assume the order matters to me, and that overwriting isn't it's intended behaviour.
The fact remains that I'm creating this object, and it says "cannot find element in variable".
Does ANYONE know what this means?

Sorry to followup to my own post, but I just did some quick testing and apparently
none of the above (nohup, setsid) is really necessary. As long as the output of the
command is redirected somewhere and the "&" is used to start it in the background it
will continue to run even if the process that launched it exits or is killed. I
tested this with the following (named 'test.php'):
---
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?
if (isset($argv[1])) {
exec('./test.php > /dev/null &');
}
sleep(10);
exec('wall testing - ignore '.getmypid());
?>
---
I opened two SSH sessions, ran the above script in one (using './test.php 1') then
immediately exited the SSH session. The PHP processes (both of them) continued to
execute and I saw the "wall" output from both scripts in my other SSH session. So
apparently the nohup setsid stuff is overkill...

Of course...nohup. But that will only work if your provider allows it

Or he could write a simple PHP wrapper that runs the perl script then
updates the session.

Did you try it from the web? Just to be devil's advocate and be sure
that, say, clicking Stop doesn't stop the background process. Also,
does *killing* the original script kill the child?

There are ways around that, though, at least if you're running unix:
exec('bash -c "exec nohup setsid your_command > /dev/null 2>&1 &"');
I found this method in a user contributed note underneath the documentation
for
exec() and it works rather well. The exec call returns very quickly and the
child
process continues to run even after the parent process dies. The important
part of
the above command is "nohup" which runs a command that ignores hangup
signals.
> If you could set it off asynchronously, there would be no
> way of knowing when it ended as the process wouldn't have access to
> that session any more.
If the OP could reimplement his perl script in PHP it could be passed the
session ID
as an argument. The child process could then call session_id($argv[1])
before
calling session_start(), and finally update the session data to indicate its
current
status.
If that's out of the question the perl script could update its status in a
database
table as you suggested...

In what you've got above you are passing "/dev/null" as an argument to perl script
instead of redirecting to it, since you're missing the ">"...so change it to:
php -r 'exec("bash -c 'exec nohup perl /home/test/college.pl >/dev/null 2>&1 &'");'

It's a well-understood technique; I have used it quite a bit--mostly in
web-based scripts. If you like, you can even redirect your output to a file
instead of /dev/null, and put a refresh on the calling page which checks that
file, providing a progress update on each reload.
Hope this helps,

No, I didn't actually try it via an apache request without the nohup. I should do

No. I tried killing the script via kill and then kill -9, allowing the "parent"
script to exit normally BEFORE the child (by having the child sleep() longer than
the parent), and disconnnecting from the controlling tty before the process
finished. In all of the above tests the child process lived on and exited normally.
It seems to me that the PHP interpreter intentionally ignores hangup signals when it
detects that it's output is not being sent to a terminal. Of course, this is
getting a bit beyond my current understanding of processes, signals, etc. so I could
be completely full of it. :)

It's a well-understood technique; I have used it quite a bit--mostly in
web-based scripts. If you like, you can even redirect your output to a file
instead of /dev/null, and put a refresh on the calling page which checks that
file, providing a progress update on each reload.
Hope this helps,

ok...
php -r 'exec("perl /home/test/college.pl >/dev/null &");' seems to do the
trick... in that it returns, while running the perl process in the
background...
i assume that this process will work from a web app, regardless of the user
function, or even the behavior of the web server, although that may have
something to do with what process/priv is running the app....

Did you try it from the web? Just to be devil's advocate and be sure
that, say, clicking Stop doesn't stop the background process. Also,
does *killing* the original script kill the child?

Sorry, you've got to either escape the embedded single quotes:
php -r 'exec("bash -c '\''exec nohup perl /home/test/college.pl >/dev/null 2>&1
&'\''");'
or just use double quotes and escape the embedded double quotes:
php -r "exec(\"bash -c 'exec nohup perl /home/test/college.pl >/dev/null 2>&1
&'\");"

my command line tests seem to work ok...
however, when i create a simple php test using the exec(...) it doesn't seem
to work. in fact i can't tell if the exec ever really gets executed!! i have
errors/warnings turned on within the php environment. as far as i can tell,
i have nothing within the php.ini file disabled/enabled which would cause
issues.
but i fail to see the child process in the process table.
any ideas/possible places i should look for the cause of this behavior..???

No, I didn't actually try it via an apache request without the nohup. I

I have a search page with three parameters....author, title and journal.
I typed in "heart" in the title text area and hit the return button,
thinking it would activate the search button. it merely did a carriage
return in the text area, then I hit the submit button.
the result came back as null, as there is not title that has the word
"heart" in it with a carriage return afterwards. if I take our the return,
it finds the heart articles.
I tried a similar thing in the author section, putting a space after the
author name...same empty results.
I would like to fix that.

Yes, it's in the manual, I recomend you read it first.

Give them a default value and they become optional
function myfunc($First, $Second,$Third = 'something', $Fourth = 'something'){
some stuff here
}
If you want them empty, you can use $Third = '' or $Third = null
depending on what you need.
P.S. *WHY* do you include that outrageous footer? It serves absolutely
no purpose.

Most browsers work fine with relative URLs in the Location header. The
spec says it has to be absolute, though, and a few browsers require
it.

I assume you mean that you disagree with me.
There is a difference between "works" and "right" (not that a malformed
Location header always works).
See RFC 2616, section 14.30.

Astrum Et Securis,
We're running our Apache Web Server with PHP & MySQL on a Power MAC G5
(MacOS X) system. And we're currently thinking of making it our web server
giving public access to our website hosted on this machine.
PHP, MySQL, FTP etcetera are all fine, but what about the Mail Server? How
does the mail() in the PHP work... It requires a Mail Server? If so, how can
I install/configure such a mail server so that the mail() can work from our
own server machine?
Thanks,
RSJ

I think there is sendmail for OS X now.

Is it possible to assign a value to a session variable on say, page1.php:
$_SESSION['favcolor'] = 'blue';
and then on another page, say page2.php reassign the value:
$_SESSION['favcolor'] = 'green'; ?
So far experimentation says no.

Of course it is. How are you testing this? Are you calling
session_start() on page2.php?

My understanding of session variables Five is that you can write and
re-write on the fly.
I know from using VB that this is true and I am assuming that it is true of
PHP. However, you may need to "Empty" the variable first Five.
Hope that helped.

PHP says Yes. Crystal ball says to put session_start() on page2.php

Actually the above code doesn't initialize the variable as either green or blue. It leaves it blank.

So you go to page1.php and it has only a link.
You click the link to page2.php and you have 'green' and the link.
You click the link to page1.php and you have 'blue' and the link.
Is this not what happens?
