Hey Todd,

You need to check the setting of error reporting in php.ini file.

Hi, I just installed SuSE 10 and I am having a problem with my phpnuke
site and my maia site. PHPNUKE gives me this error...

did see this....

Also I know that since 4.4.0 BC Math library is included, maia saying it

I'm running SuSE 9.3 and had to add /usr/share/php to the include path in
/etc/php.ini to be able to use the installed PEAR extensions.

To enable bcmath I had to uncomment the extension=bcmath.so line in
/etc/php.ini

Check that phpinfo() outputs bcmath.

i think it has to do with the 'include_path' set in php.ini

include_path = 'your_path';

if you look to your phpinfo it says:

'--without-pear'

Maybe you'll need to install it with pear support or is it right just to add
pear to the include_path?

Hi,

The second release of PHP-Qt is now available. PHP-Qt provides an
object-oriented interface to the Qt4 Framework and allows to write Qt
applications in the PHP language.
PHP-Qt is alpha software and still in a prototype stage, but the first 6
tutorials from Qt documentation are working. I have ported these tutorials to
PHP-Qt, and they are available in the tarball.
For more information, visit http://php-qt.berlios.de/ .

Hi all. I am trying to run some PHP code I got from the O'Reilly book
Spidering Hacks and it doesn't seem to be working. Please note, the
functions were not inculded in the code, I had to copy it from the book so I
might have made mistake. I thought perhaps an experienced PHP programmer
might be able to pick the error. Does the code work for anyone else?

Thank you. Poppy

humbug David :-) - turns out lines 89-91 will tell the OP nothing about
the error because the its the definition of function getBlock()
that is missing a closing brace (at around line 38) that si causing the error.

once you add the missing brace the script works (at least it dumped a
load of content from http://www.techdeals.net/ onto my console).

by helping you get your sample code working are per chance hepling into
life yet another 'linkfarm' or some similarly SEO related nasty?

Thanks for the reply, it had really stumped me. I knew it would be an error
with the bit I typed in :)

It's only sample code from a book. All of the examples are in Perl, except
this particular code. I am new to PHP and wanted to try and run the code to
see if it worked.

Hello BjÃ¶rn,

Thank you also for your reply. I appreciate your help.

>Â KEEP YOUR CODE CLEAN !!!!!!

This is sample code from a book. I am interested to know what you mean by
clean code (formatting, conventions?). If you have any pointers how one
should keep their code clean, I would like to learn. I am new to PHP. If
this is off topic, apologies to the list.

Thank you. Pop

which doesn;t actually answer my question :-) you see I have my suspicions
about a book named 'Spidering Hacks' - if it was meat I doubt it would be
kosher or halal.
