Is there any way to do a typecast in javascript? I know you can in
2.0, but that won't work here.

I have an input field and I need to add a number to it's value.

var + 123 == 'var123'

You would think that it would automatically typecast var to an int
since it's being added to one, but it just concatenates it instead.

How can I add (or sum) the two values?

P.S. I'm doing this in a php page... that's why I'm asking here.

Most people on this list eat as well, but that doesn't make this list an
appropriate forum for discussing food.

So you're saying you're taking advantage of (or abusing) the list's readiness
to help by asking OT questions?

I, for one, am not convinced that this all that far off topic.

Since the accepted method to generate browser interaction with server side
PHP, is to use Javascript, it doesn't seem any more off-topic than dealing
with database questions about MySQL.

I am probably like most PHP developers, with a very weak knowledge of
Javascript, and while that makes the question "feel" like being off-topic,
I'm not sure it should be. I wish I knew of another list I could recommend
as a resource for Javascript, but I don't, and that is probably a result of
knowing so little.

Only abuse occurring here, IMHO is the content police's treatment of Josh.

Most DB questions you see here come from php problems...or people who don't
realize 'proper mailing list conduct'. But the OP stated that he knew it
was OT, and decided to ask here anyway, instead of on a JS mailing list, or
going to Google (I say this, because five minutes after his original post
he posted back that he found the answer)

Most PHP developers I know, and have worked with over the past 6 or 7 years
have a pretty strong grasp of JS, but that doesn't change the point. I
know quite a few on this list come from a Perl background, but it would
still be bad form of me to pose a Perl question to this list.

We're under a high security alert....rougher treatment is allowed.

unfortunately it's not quite so. javascript is javascript and has
nothing at all to do with php. Perhaps a good place to ask questions
about javascript might be the list (thelistlists.evolt.org)

pure mysql questions are off topic for this list as well - however you
will notice that most of the questions are about the PHP mysql API pure
sql questions rarely get polite answers.

Well it's hardly abuse While i symphathise with josh - the point is that
when there are lots of off topic discussions taking place in a list it
loses it's value. If you posted these questions on a perl list or the
qmail list you will see how polite the content police in this list
really is.

OK if I asked the question "how do I do type casting in Cobol?", would you
agree that it is OT? Cobol has nothing to do with the zend engine, Javascript
has nothing to do with the zend engine so where' the relationship with PHP?

> Since the accepted method to generate browser interaction with server side

I would have thought links and forms were more common. Anyway you're missing
the point, the question was OT, period. It was not asking about interaction
with PHP, it was a Javascript question, pure and simple. Comprendez?

OT questions come and go, they are asked and get answered, but what is
annoying is the weak justification given by the OP for something that is
blatantly OT. Hence my rebuttal.

attached mail follows:

I have been on a number of lists over the years, as what ever technology
I'm using at the time has demanded.

I would have to say that this list is one of the most curt and
condescending lists I've ever been on. Perhaps it's because the long
time users don't realize they're being so, (unless of course you read
the FAQ about asking smart questions which they are so happy to throw at
you), or maybe it's because they are so much better at this particular
technology that they don't have to even be civil.

What ever the reason it leaves a bad impression for anyone embracing php
and wanting to gather additional information that can sometimes only be
obtained from an individual with experience and not a book. (imagine
that)

Now I fully expect that some one will come back and say something like,
"Well you don't have to stay on this list" or something equally as
moronic. Quite frankly I don't care. Flame away...

Over the last seven months that I have been on this list I have seen the
same questions addressed several times. Sometimes worded different, but
nothing really new. Maybe that is what creates such animosity to the
newer members of this list from the older ones. Then again maybe it's
nothing more than the age old trait of chastising someone else to give
themselves a feeling of importance.

My point is a little temperance goes a lot farther and shows a lot more
than self importance.

BTW.., Yes I'm top posting so go ahead and flame away for that too.

Ok. I write most my web apps in php. I rarely will use js for
anything, but I needed it on this rare occasion. I didn't want to have
to post to the same php page to get the results to change, so I though
a little js would do the job.

Being a php list, I thought that a few others would have run into the
same issue while doing this. Would it have made it better if I talked
a little about the php work that was being done on the page also?

All this is doing is making me like php less and less. And what about
the newer users to the list? This also makes me not want to answer
other peoples questions either. I've also noticed that a lot of
answers to peoples questions get flamed on this list also. It's like
you think you're better than them and came take them down for whatever
reason.

Yes, the question was OT and I knew it. Yes, I found the answer via
google 5-10 mins later. I had already searched a while before for it.
And I'm not going to go and get on a js list for one question I may
have once every 3 months. I figured someone here has ran into the same
situation before. Especially since type casting is a common thing
among most languages (even php).

All I have to say is, sorry I asked. I really wasn't worth it.

OT is OT, trying to justify it by linking it to PHP through a dozen degrees of
separation will not change that fact.

There you go, that says it all. I'm too lazy to subscribe to another list so
I'll use the PHP list as a general dumping ground.

Not trying to whine for you. I was just surprised that people would
take several hours out of their day to complain about this, instead of
just saying it's OT and to not post OT.

Well, all I have to say is thank god for this newsgroup and the core group
of people who answer most of the questions here. I can understand some
crankiness now and then after answering the same questions over and over or
dealing with people who don't read the online manual and come here to post
first.

I've been slapped down once or twice myself for asking a stupid or vague
question. But, it's no big deal because the people here have helped me out
time and time again by answering many PHP questions and providing sample
code over the past two years, so for that I'm grateful. It would be nice,
however, if there were some way to post a link to the FAQ here, because
unless someone specifically posts the URL, there's no way to know it exists
or how to reach it.

I recommend that you first do a Google newsgroup search for any problems you
have: http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg - 80% of the time I find the
answer I need without having to post at all. Also, read the user-contributed
comments in the online PHP manual, they are often very helpful and provide a
lot of useful sample code. Plus, there are lots of PHP sites out there, some
of which have PHP forums, such as sitepoint.com.

Which FAQ do you mean? I've started my own FAQ for frequently asked
questions. Perhaps I should be merging with the other.

Anytime you click on a link to a php document, you are 'running' a php
script. Could you be a bit more specific as to what you want to do?

Any help/suggestions is appreciated.

There's nothing special you need to do to make that happen. If your mail
client is configure to open URLs when they are clicked on then you're all
set. Just make sure that if your app is important you have some mechanism to
check that the person using the link has the authority to do so.

You could :

A) Build the link in the email with a query string of all the data you want
to enter into the db, eg.

http://www.mydomain.com/processForm.php?key1=val1&key2=val2&key3=val3

And these will be passed to your script in the $_GET array.

Or :

B) Store all the info that is entered in your form in a temporary table,
with a unique id, and attach that id to the link in your email, eg.

http://www.mydomain.com/processForm.php?id=<some id>

And have the script (processForm.php), read the info from the temporary
table and insert it into it's final destination.

Sounds like a good plan, but if this is outside a firewall on the open
internet, it could present some security risks. I'll assume for the moment
that it's not.

If your script that sends the email can store the information from the form
into the database and assign it a unique number, then your hotlink on the
email only needs to have the number.

My expectation would be, that after giving this some thought you will decide
you need the person receiving the email to have the ability to change some
of the data on the email.

Another approach might be to send an email alert that contains a url to a
page that presents a list of pending requests, and your user could then
authorize several at once.

I also know you can send an email form in html (you can google for help on
this one), but I am not sure if the form can post the data, perhaps if the
person receiving email is using outlook, don't know.

Hope this stimulates a few more options,

I don't know if it's more common, but I would use the second option to do
something like this. No 'personal' infomation is passed to the script via
http.

Relating the information to a unique ID and using that in the email is a
better approach.

Appending all of the data to the URL will eventually run into problems
depending upon the length and format of the data, your email reader,
data changes, etc.

Thanks for the tips.

After clicking http://www.mydomain.com/processForm.php?id=<some id> is 'id'
a variable containing 'some id'. Can I access that by '$id'

I am just trying to figure out how to write the SELECT statement for that
script. I am guessing, but I would do:
"SELECT * FROM temp_users WHERE ID=$id"

Thanks again.

If you have register_globals on, you can access it via $id, otherwise use
$_GET['id']

More like:

"SELECT * FROM temp_users WHERE ID=\"".$_GET["id"]."\"";

Use $_GET to access variables from the url.

The thread's been snipped to death. The variable is going to be passed via
a link (query string) from an email (the processForm.php was just the 'page
name' I used in an earlier example).

We could just go with $_REQUEST['id'], and cover all the bases. ;)

You mean like:

$firstWkDay = date("l", mktime(0,0,0,7,1,2004));

That's much simpler that what I had in my head.

Thanks so much!

That probably works but if you look, you're calling a function inside a
function that's inside another function.

$dayofweek = date("D", mktime(0,0,0,$m,1,$y));

A little more simpler.

BTW, "D" or "l" pretty much do the same thing. It depends on whether you
wan Mon or Monday.

D = abbrviated name
l = full name

And why again are you using *eval* on a file? Why not
include('file.php')? If you're doing parsing on the file contents,
look there for your problem. It's likely you're adding backslashes
somewhere. Look at the contents of the string you're trying to eval
and see if it looks the same as the file you want to run. If not,
that's your problem.

If you're not adding slashes, perhaps magic_quotes_runtime or
magic_quotes_gpc is? (These are php.ini settings)

What vars aren't getting passed in? Globals? Looks like this is OOP,
in which case globals aren't in scope while you're in a function. You
call a function to run the template and the globals are automtically
out of scope. You can do several things here.
1) Use $GLOBALS['varname'] instead of $varname in your eval'd script.
2) If you're using globals for request vars (GET or POST) then you
should switch to the superglobals $_GET and $_POST (or $_REQUEST).
3) global everything in $GLOBALS before you run eval()
  foreach ($GLOBALS as $key => $val) {
    $$key =& $GLOBALS[$key];
  }

If none of this works, perhaps safe mode is stopping this? (I'm not
sure if it even can, but it's a possibility.)

I cant use include with a preg_replace (I replace X with file_get_contents
blah because if I dont then the file thats included wont be included in

Since the accepted method to generate browser interaction with server

Actually the accepted method to generate browser interaction with server

picking nits, but we all know that I am an arse! ;) And many MySQL (or
plain old SQL) questions get flamed too.

Hmmm, you should see the C++ newsgroup(s).

Actually I would have to say that when it comes to lists (I myself and
many others here are on several) that this one and perhaps the MySQL
general list get more OT posts. Since PHP can be a entry point for first
time programmers it also ramps up the number of posts where the user has
not been familiarized with terms and actions such as RTFM, STFW or STFA.
Common and well established list courtesies established years ago are
expected to be suspended here....why?

Having said that I suppose that those of us who are curt and
condescending (of which I am one) can shut up or go somewhere else,
which we have been asked to do several times. I was just here to learn
and to help where I could.

Nope and that's wasn't my point. My point was temperance.

And I will be the first to admit that you have been one of the people on
this list that has answered every one of my questions, no matter how
stupid they have been. (And there has been some real boners)

However there is a difference between list courtesy and blatant
aggression. I understand that there are going to be more newbie's to
programming here than on most language lists. Does this mean that they
don't get the same consideration that those get who it is apparent that
they have been hacking code for a while?

This is a general list.

If all those who are curt and Curt and condensceding go away there will
be a lot of questions but very few answers in this list.

And when 'newbies' sign up to this list, they get a copy of the 'Newbie
Guide', with a wealth of information on how to ask smart questions, how to
find answers to common problems, etc. If they are not going to use that
advice, and just blast the list with an OT question, or one that's been
asked a zillion times, why should we take the time out to help those who
are not going to help themselves?

From http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php a user comments
about this:

cryogen at mac dot com

I neglected to include the solution in my last post for using strtotime()
with date-time data stored in GMT. Append the string "GMT" to all of your
datetimes pulled from MySQL or other database that store date-times in the
format "yyyy-mm-dd hh:ii:ss" just prior to converting them to a unix
timestamp with strtotime(). This will ensure you get a valid GMT result
for times during daylight savings.

EXAMPLE:
<?php
$date_time1 = strtotime("2004-04-04 02:00:00"); // returns bad value -1
due to DST
$date_time2 = strtotime("2004-04-04 02:00:00 GMT"); // works great!
?>

No it's not true, RTFM.

If you're need to process a wider range of dates use the Julian day functions

strtotime() will work, actually, but not for dates before 1970. If you
want to convert a database timestamp to a Unix timestamp that's before
1970, you need to be on an OS that supports negative timestamps (not
windows, as far as I know).

It works with SQL datestamps....just not with that one above. The year
(1948) will return a negative timestamp....

<quote from http://us4.php.net/strtotime>
Note: The valid range of a timestamp is typically from Fri, 13 Dec 1901
20:45:54 GMT to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT. (These are the dates that
correspond to the minimum and maximum values for a 32-bit signed integer.)
Additionally, not all platforms support negative timestamps, therefore your
date range may be limited to no earlier than the Unix epoch. This means
that e.g. dates prior to Jan 1, 1970 will not work on Windows, some Linux
distributions, and a few other operating systems.

Check out strtotime in the PHP manual. It gives a few examples of how to
use the function that I think will answer your first question. Next, check
out mktime, time, and date.

Ok, I am starting a new job and learning a new person's code, and trying
to learn Smarty at the same time.

This question is so basic, but I have no idea where to look for an answer.

ANyway, I need to change the code so that, when there are no row returned
by the database, a message is displayed saying, "There are no events
scheduled." or what have you.

Now, the way I would have done this before using smarty would be to check
the number of records, and if there were none, I would display the
message, otherwise, I would loop through and display the results,

However, I know one of the points of smarty is to keep code out of the
presentation layer, so I don't want to go into the template and add an if
statement in there.

Any help directing me to an example or whatever would be helpful.

Here is what is going on right now in the code:

(in the PHP page)
$events = $db->getAll($sql_events, DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC);
$tpl->assign("events",$events);

(in the template page)
{section name=id loop=$events}
<tr>
 <td class="event">
 {$events[id].type}: <a class="menulink"
href="{$url_prefix}/community/events/?id={$events[id].id}">{$events[id].date|date_format:"%B
%e, %Y"}, {$events[id].speaker}</a> 
 {$events[id].title}
 </td>
</tr>

According to this page
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/language.function.if.php you should be able
to do something like.....

{ if is_array ( $events ) }
do smarty stuff
{ /if }

My solution to this would be to change the template. IMHO it's a
"view" funciton to display something different when there is no data.

However, if you're averse to that, I would suggest using a different template.

How is it 'not available'?

Did the PEAR directory/files not install? Is your system not finding them?

Looks correct to me. Are you meeting all the requirements for that if
statement? You have a lot of and's there.

For testing you could try:

if ($option == 'content' and $task == 'view' and $id == 159 and $Itemid ==
162) {
echo "It works! Yay me! Gimme a cookie, dammit!";
}

If you don't get that echo statement, then you should look into your if
statement.

Your page is redirecting you over and over again. Your problem is that
you're not checking for https before you redirect! If the user comes
in with the https URL, you're still redirecting them. Try checking the
value of $_SERVER['HTTPS'].

Hi!

Have anyone sucessfully used the FDF functionallity together with the Opera

This code works like a charm in IE6 but not in Opera.

fdf_header();

fdf_set_value($outfdf, "your_ref", $your_ref, 0);

Are you using sessions?

you might be running into the cache limiter issue, try this before
starting the session:

session_cache_limiter('public');
or
session_cache_limiter('private');

Greetings,

I'm using an RSS feed from the New York Times and right now the a href link
takes the user to the same window.

I'd like the link to open in it's own window by using the target .html
attribute.

I was hoping that I could use the eregi_replace() call by inserting:

<a href="http://\\0">target="_blank">\\0</a>

where it matches any character between the <link></link> string in the URL.

However it is not working for me.

Viewing the xhtml of thr NY Times feed below, there are many areas of
<links></links> so I'm not sure whether this is the correct way to go.

Any leads or assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, lots of good info here. It's nice to have all of the info at once.

I don't know about eregs myself, but I'll try a preg solution:

$new_text = preg_replace('!<link>(.*?)</link>!', '<a href="\1"
target="_blank">\1</a>', $text);

You might want to look into just getting a plain old rss parser.
It'll probably save a lot of headaches.

Thank you.

I tried the following:

<?
$text="<link>http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/03/national/03tape.html?
ex=1249272000&en=484f82ff258ab8c7&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt</link>";

$new_text = preg_replace('!<link>(.*?)</link>!', '<a href="\1"
target="_blank">\1</a>', $text);

echo $new_text;
?>

The output in my browser is the URL with no link - and no target="_blank".

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/03/national/03tape.html?
ex=1249272000&en=484f82ff258ab8c7&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt

If you get a chance run the script through your server and see.

I'm on apache.

Any throughts?

Many thanks for your time.

Hi,
I'm not sure what format the url's are in, but here are a few pieces of
code you can try.

Format: <a href="http://www.news.com/article.php?aid=4">News Article</a>

<?php
$articleurl = "<a href=\"http://www.news.com/article.php?aid=4\">News
Article</a>";

$broken = explode("\">", $articleurl);
$modified_url = "$broken[0]\" target=\"_blank\">$broken[1]";

Result: <a href="http://www.news.com/article.php?aid=4" target="_blank">News

Hi Curt,

You could use a function of the name and signature you gave, but if you implement it in PHP, you're still creating the substring objects that I don't want created. Notice your call to substr(). Object creation is expensive. If the function were implemented natively, the language need only copy bytes directly from a portion of the source string over to the output buffer.

Thanks for taking a stab!

If you want this to be an internal function (and you seem to), then
you'll either have to write an extension which does this or have the
internals guys add it for you. You can't implement something like this
in PHP code.

Yeah, I could do what I'm already doing by implementing the interface you pointed me to.

The problem is that stdout appears to be the only in-memory buffered character stream available to me. I need an abitrary number of such streams.

Emulating these streams, as one might do by implementing the interfaces you pointed me to, doesn't solve the problem; this is what I'm doing. In my emulation I have to constantly cache and restore the contents of stdout.

Am I correct in saying that PHP only has this one in-memory buffered character stream? (I need it to be in-memory because the goal is to maximize performance.)

Again, it's crucial that buffering be done natively by PHP, since otherwise you're just creating string objects that buffering is supposed to prevent you from having to create.

Thanks again for your suggestion!

Hi,
I am trying to do some work that involves parsing through the HTML of
some webpages. But, I cannot find an easy way in PHP to actually get that
HTML. Say, for example, I need the HTML returned from
http://www.yahoo.com/, I tried doing an fopen(), but the only way I can do
it is if I use passthru, or exec and use the linux wget, then use fopen() on
that file. Does anyone know if there's an easy function or way of doing it?
I essentially need to download the web file, and store the contents of it in
a variable to manipulate with my program.

There are many ways to do this. The simplest is with the file
functions, such as fopen and file_get_contents:

$html = file_get_contents('http://www.yahoo,com');

These will only work if you have the fopen wrappers turned on in your php.ini.

If this won't work for you, I would suggest using PEAR's HTTP_Request.
http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Request
It's a package that implements all of that in PHP code with sockets.
It's also got lots of useful features. FYI, the HTTP_Client package is
based on HTTP_Request and can take care of cookies and such for you so
that it looks like a user ir browsing a site. :-)

If you are new to PEAR, please go to this page to learn about it and
how to install:

I have the following query which should return just two rows:

SELECT 'ID', 'Vacancy Role', 'Vacancy Salary', 'Vacancy Location', 'Vacancy

yet even if I execute the query through phpMyAdmin I get two rows with field

Any suggestions on where I'm going wrong...? I'm pretty sure my query syntax

Can you paste me
a.) Your database structure
b.) The exact query you are using

Also, you may want to do $query = mysql_query("SELECT * from
vacancy_details") or die(mysql_error());

I don't care about the first part of that, but try putting in the
mysql_error() in the form I used above, and see if it gives you any other
information.

Public. I changed it to "Publish".

But if I use a query window to interrogate the database I still get just two
rows using the following query with field names not values for the row cell
contents:

SELECT
'ID','Vacancy_Role','Vacancy_Salary','Vacancy_Location','Vacancy_Type'

Take out the quotes. Make your query say:
SELECT
ID,Vacancy_Role,Vacancy_Salary,Vacancy_Location,Vacancy_Type FROM
vacancy_details WHERE Publish='Yes';

Also, if you are selecting every field, then why not do a SELECT *?

All this tinkering and database schema's are simply the long way
around things. Just use mysql_error() after you query.

mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

You'll know exactly whats wrong.

You are correct that the mysql_fetch_array will return an array which you
can format into a table. You can use a while loop if you would like, which
is probably the simplest.

<?<php
$query = mysql_query("SELECT
ID,Vacancy_Role,Vacancy_Salary,Vacancy_Location,Vacancy_Type FROM
vacancy_details WHERE Publish='Yes'");

echo "<table cellspacing=\"4\" cellpadding=\"4\" width=\"50%\">\n";
echo "<tr><td>ID:</td><td>Vacancy Role:</td><td>Vacancy
Salary</td><td>Vacancy Location</td><td>Vacancy
Type</td></tr>\n";

while($result = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
echo
"<tr><td>$result[id]</td><td>$result[Vacancy_Role]</td><td>$result[Vacancy_S
alary]</td><td>$result[Vacancy_Location]</td><td>$result[Vacancy_Type]</td><
/tr>\n";
}

echo "</table>";
?>

Curt.

Thanks for the pointer and yes, I should be doing that and overlooked it
this time.

It's working now as I seem to be echoing the second record in the table and
will plug away at getting the table defined.

Thanks for all your help Curt.

How can I use the "Order" statement for this query?

$specs_query = mysql_query("select title, information from spec where

I tried to use

$specs_query = mysql_query("select title, information from spec where
product=".$id order by id asc);

But it will create the error.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /www/docs/view_product.php

What am I doing wrong?

Looks like you just forgot some quotes:
$specs_query = mysql_query( "select title, information from spec where
product=".$id." order by id asc" );

Or just move your quotes to the end -- I think you should be fine:
$specs_query = mysql_query( "select title, information from spec where
product = $id order by id asc" );

Hi Karl,

The problem is in your formatting.

> $specs_query = mysql_query("select title, information from spec where
> product=".$id order by id asc);

Try this instead

$specs_query = mysql_query('SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product=' . $id . ' ORDER BY id ASC');

Note the use of single quotes (it's faster)

You could have just done this with double quotes:

$specs_query = mysql_query("SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product=$id ORDER BY id ASC");

It might also be a good idea to put single quotes around $id if it comes
from user input:

$specs_query = mysql_query('SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product=\'' . $id . '\' ORDER BY id ASC');
- OR -
$specs_query = mysql_query("SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product='$id' ORDER BY id ASC");

Have fun!

Hello everyone I have a problem with this php script that gives this error
*Fatal error*: Unsupported operand types in

here is the part of the code that gives the error
$this->currentWebPageCount += 1;
$this->previousPage -= 1;

This code is contained in a class called testPage and this class extends
another class in a file called PageContent.
the currentWebPageCount is initalized from a HTTP_GET_VARS['rows']; and
I also check to see if it has been initalized with a isset() function.
If anyone can help thanks

attached mail follows:

I ran into so many problems trying to set this up that I thought I'd
post my notes to hopefully save others some trouble.

I found most of the information I needed at:
http://rayh.co.uk/archives/13_PHP5__PHP4_side_by_side.html
but the link doesn't seem to be working anymore, so here are my notes.

Versions:
PHP4.x module (already compiled and installed, this was
straightforward in docs at www.php.net)
PHP5.0.0 cgi
RedHat linux 6.x
Apache 1.3.22

PHP5 configure command:
./configure \
        --prefix=/usr/local/php/php5.0.0 \
        --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php/php5.0.0/ \
        --with-config-file=/usr/local/php/php5.0.0/php.ini \
        --enable-force-cgi-redirect \
        --disable-path-info-check \
        --enable-safe-mode \
        --disable-short-tags \
        --with-regex=system \
        --with-mysql \
        --enable-debug \
        --with-mcrypt \
        --enable-versioning \
        --disable-libxml

NOTE: when I enabled '--enable-discard-path', pages would load blank.
Don't use this unless you know what you are doing. I don't understand
exactly what this does.

NOTE: The options '--with-apxs' and '--with-apache' tell configure to
build apache module and CLI. The absence of these tells it to build
the CGI version. So DO NOT USE them if you want the CGI version.

make
make test
make install

Add the following to httpd.conf (must be in the generic server
settings, NOT in a virtual host):
ScriptAlias /cgi-php5/ "/usr/local/php/php5.0.0/bin/"
<Directory "/usr/local/php/php5.0.0/bin/">
Options +ExecCGI
Allow From All
</Directory>

Foreach virtual host you want to use php5 on:
Create a directory named 'cgi-php5' one level above the document root.
This will most likely be in the same directory that has the cgi-bin
directory in it.

Foreach directory that you want to us php5 for:
Add the following to .htaccess file (or virtual host inside a
Directory container):
Action php5-script /cgi-php5/php
AddHandler php5-script .php
Options +ExecCGI

This is an excellent solution because:
- You only have to restart apache once. After that, you can add
.htaccess files to enable php5 interpretation whereever you want.
- You can upgrade/downgrade php5 without touching apache.
- You don't have clunky file extensions like .php5 or anything else
that will be difficult to change later on down the road.

PROBLEMS: So far, I cannot figure out why $_POST is empty when an html
form is sent with method=post. GET works fine. In all my searching,
I think it has something to do with how apache is setup; not with how
php is configured. I've tried the default php-dist ini file, I've tried
many different variations of php configure commands. None of them do
the trick. PHP bug list has some posts from people with the same problem
and then they said they found a problem in apache setup that fixed it.

I am sure this is an obvious answer, but dang if I could find it.

How do you chop off a decimal value in PHP? I know I can do it using a
combination of modulus, subtraction and division, but isn't there a function
that does this? I think I am suffering from a giant mental block =)

Are you looking for the round function?

Does anyone have any ideas as to why $_POST would be empty when
submitting a form to php?

I am running PHP5 as CGI in apache 1.3.22 on redhat linux.
I've also tried php4.3.8 CGI (same php configuration and .ini file)
and I get the same behavior.

When I submit an html form with method=post, the $_POST superglobal
array is empty. GET works fine. I've tried many different
configuration options with PHP but none seem to help. I've tried the
default php.ini-dist config file with no luck.

I've gone through all the relevant bug reports and search all the
mailing lists, FAQ's and newsgroups. I can't find any useful,
applicable information.

My configure command is:
./configure \
        --prefix=/usr/local/php/php5.0.0 \
        --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php/php5.0.0/ \
