W3C:
Conforming user agents must observe the following priorities when
determining a document's character encoding (from highest priority to
lowest):
1. An HTTP "charset" parameter in a "Content-Type" field.
2. A META declaration with "http-equiv" set to "Content-Type" and a
value set for "charset".
3. The charset attribute set on an element that designates an
external resource.
In addition to this list of priorities, the user agent may use
heuristics and user settings. For example, many user agents use a
heuristic to distinguish the various encodings used for Japanese text.
Also, user agents typically have a user-definable, local default
character encoding which they apply in the absence of other indicators.
========
So the solution should be:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=gb2312');

hi there
I'm parsing xml documents with php4's DOM extension and I would like to
be able to see what namespaces are in the document. Is there any way
to get at the xmlns attributes? Or a way to get the namespace of a
node (not just the prefix).
thanks

Olaf, PHP is an open source language is it not? Since you're so smart why
don't YOU write the code?

Because I don't have time to fix every bug (I encounter) in every open
source app I use.
And I don't know the internals of the PHP code to be sure my patch works
and doesn't break anything else.

I'm not complaining about any tutorials, but this doesn't quite fit
with my experience. I installed FC2 (not an upgrade). I then ran
phpinfo() to get the configure options for the installed PHP. I used
those options to configure PHP5. After running make and make install,
I edited "/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.ini" to change the LoadModule line.
I believe I also needed to remove the domxml.ini file from /etc/php.d.
I may have also needed to more some other files around.
My point isn't to provide another tutorial, but to say that a PHP and
linux newbie (me) can install PHP5 without also installing Apache. I
am inexperienced with Apache and PHP, so I'm not claiming it is
*better* not to re-install Apache, just that it isn't necessary under FC2.

Are you sure that you don't have any whitespace before or after the PHP
tags? Try using exit(); after readfile();

I'm writing a file-download system. In order to download, the user will
have to login with username and password. Now, how do I feed the file to
the user if it's not under htdocs? Or should the files be under htdocs
(in subdirs of course) and have some .htaccess limitations?
There is a chance that some files can be several gigs big. Will this be
a problem?

This topic is often discusses in this board and you will find tons of
solutions in the archives. In short all you need to do is open the file,
read it's contents and write it to the output stream - of course you
will need to send the correct headers first.

Users shouldn't have to log in, the whole process should be transparent.
But how, that would depend on what data you want to get from where, (I
gather the 2nd db would be on a different machine?). You'll usually have
to edit the files to get something like that done =/

No. As have been mentioned, this should be transparent. In other
words, (in a sense) your *scripts* logs in to the database and
not you nor your users :)

the percent of 20% is = .20 right?
how can i compute the correct value for this?
my $totalCost is $4,000 and when i compute it to .20 using this method..
$shippingestimate = $totalCost * .20;
i get the value for the shippingestimate = $0.8 which is wrong.. it should $800

'don't know what's "the pecent of 20% is" ;) but in decimal
form, yes, it's right. Or, just ".2" or "0.2".

Formatting problem, most likely. Try this:
<?php
$totalCost = 4000;
$shippingEstimate = $totalCost * 0.2;
echo $shippingEstimate;
?>
* I changed the "E" on $shippingEstimate on purpose :)

It seems to work fine for me, perhaps you have a typo along the lines
some where.
<?php

$shippingestimate = $totalCost * .20;
echo $shippingestimate;
?>
echoes 800

attached mail follows:
i found the culprit. i remembered, that i use to pass the value with..
number_format($totalCost, 2, ".", ",")
so the values being received by my computation has a "," comma 4,000
so that is why i always get wrong values.
thanks again!

When php 5.0.2 converts float to integer, it uses biggest possible integer
value. Other php versions overflow and use negalive integers.
How to reproduce it:
echo (int)0xde120495;

----------------
-569244523
Actual result (only php 5.0.2):

Is this a standard behaviour of all future php versions or some error in php?

Hi all,
I'd like to know how to install both php 4 and 5 on the same server,
for example with .php4 and .php5 extensions.
I tried editing some part of the source code to change the way Apache
calls php (with application/x-httpd types) but I never get apache to
start :(
I heard about compiling one version as module and the other as cgi but
did not try myself...
If anybody has an idea... :)
