Named pipes are blocking - if you open one for reading and there's
nothing writing then the reading process will be blocked. And as
you've just seen, the same happens if you open one for writing and
there's nothing reading it.

You can change that behaviour by specifying the O_NONBLOCK flag when
opening the pipe - if you're opening it for writing, the attempt will
fail immediately rather than waiting for something to read.

I don't know of a way to do that through fopen(), but you can probably
manage it using dio_open() if you *really* want to.

It might be better to rethink how your processes communicate?

Okay, what I am asking is this: I understand that you installed aspell
from source. However, it is quite possible that aspell already existed
on your machine. Slackware has a package management system. Check that
to see if a|pspell is also installed that way. Basically, you may have
two versions of a|pspell on your system which are conflicting with each
other.

Hi!

Using a Win 2000 WS (work station), I'm trying to write the first PHP
page as shown at http://il2.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.firstpage.php.

The server is a Netware (Novell) 6.5 running Apache, PHP & MySQL all 3
on same server but different volumes.

I created the file named hello.php by copying and pasting the following
text to notepad and put it in my web server root directory I:\HTDocs:

Example 2-1. Our first PHP script: hello.php<html>:
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
</body>
</html>

When I am accessing the site with IE browser at the
http://www.kalmanovitz.co.il/hello.php URL address I can see a blank
page.
The other pages are shown correctly.

Any Idea how to fix it and continue with the tutorial?

TIA

It does't look like PHP is setup in Apache.

You should have a line that looks something like this;

And some others that look like this;

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .inc
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Check out your apache config file.

You need to tell Apache how to handle PHP pages. In your httpd.conf add
this line :

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

See here in the manual for further explanation :

I have an application that allows the users to input a formula:
(Width*Height)/144

This formula gets updated with a part's specific width & height and
actually returns:

(36.00000*58.00000)/144

I use preg_replace to replace Width and Height with values from the
following array:

[Width] => 36.00000
[Height] => 58.00000

How can I get the resulting formula to actually calculate?
Simplified version of my code:

$partFormula = '(Width*Height)/144';
$prof = array('Width'=>36,'Height'=>58);

$find = array();
$replace = array();

foreach($prof AS $key => $val){
array_push($find,"[$key]");
array_push($replace,$val);
}
return preg_replace($find,$replace,$partFormula);
//returns (36.00000*58.00000)/144

eval() doesn't seem to do much for me (parse error, unexpected $end).

Mike

Unfortunately no. I also tried making the formula look like this:
<?php (36.00000*58.00000)/144 ?>

and returning it with:
eval('?>' . $a . '<?php ');

Let's do an experiment. Place these two lines of code in a page, then load
it in a browser;

<?php

$foo = (36.00000*58.00000)/144;
echo $foo;

works fine for me. If you change

<?php (36.00000*58.00000)/144 ?>

<?php echo (36.00000*58.00000)/144; ?>

it also works.

Amol,

Pretty sure that it means the white space after a tag. for example:

or (even worse, with CR)

And the answer is php_error_docref. For example:

php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_NOTICE, "Undefined variable: %s", varname);

I was having a discussion about scaling a php-based app. Most of the
sites I've worked on have easily fit into a single server model. I"m
looking at a site that will need to scale beyond that. The
anticipated bottleneck will be TCP connections and database
performance. I'm looking at load balancers and was wondering if
people had experience with one that they felt was up to task.

We do use sessions and I would not like to go to a saving session
data on another box or in the database. I would prefer for the
session identifier cookie to determine which box the user goes to.

IMHO the best is RT, which is Perl and Mason.

There are some nice PHP ones out there, but I don't have any experience

ruQueue: http://freshmeat.net/projects/ruqueue/
