Please show a little more code, as it looks to me as though this should work how you think it should.

Specifically: how do we know what is in $c? how do you know the array_search works? how do you know $n is only getting 'a', 'b', or 'c'? (Hint: var_dump() is your friend!)

Cheers!

Mike,

See entire function under topic "Array question - maybe UTF?"...

I am trying to change accented characters to their equivalent without accents.

And yes, the arrays look fine after var_dump()...

Perhaps it's more a UTF8 issue that is going wrong for me.

At first strtr() was not giving me the results I wanted, so I started
tinkering. This is what I came up with... Still no satisfactory
results.

I think character support is rather lacking in php, or maybe I just
don't have a clue?

The easiest way would be to download the DB and then build some PHP to
access it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

Make sure you read everything on that page, and make sure you follow
their rules.

XP/IE7: the error message is gone, but button does nothing

Linux/Firefox: speak button redirects through s1.php-s5.php, they all
show the following error (or similar) :

Notice: Undefined index: captcha
in /home/httpd/vhosts/sperling.com/httpdocs/a/c/a.php on line 19

and Firefox tells me I need to install some missing plugin for the
content... (which may be true ;) )

In the PHP grammar I encountered the feature of casting to unset, e.g.
(unset)$a. I did not manage to find any specific documentation on this,
only people wandering what it might do
(http://blog.thinkphp.de/archives/33-Casted-fun..html).

So what exactly does cast to unset do?

Thanks,
Robert

I need to populate an array with the contents of a directory. The
following code does not populate the $thumbnailFiles array like I
expect that it would:

<?php

function listFiles ($directory) {
    $files=array();
    $dir = dir($directory);
    while ($entry = $dir->read()) {
        if ( !is_dir($entry) ) {
            $files[] = $entry;
            print $entry."<br />"; // DEBUG CODE - REMOVE ME
        }
    }
    $dir->close();
    return $files;
}

$thumbnailsDirectory="/home/user/public_html/photostorage/160x120";
$lqDirectory="/home/user/public_html/photostorage/240x320";
$mqDirectory="/home/user/public_html/photostorage/800x600";
$hqDirectory="/home/user/public_html/photostorage/1600x1200";

$thumbnailFiles=array();
$lqFiles=array();
$mqFiles=array();
$hqFiles=array();

$thumbnailFiles=listFiles($thumbnailsDirectory);

print"<pre>";
print_r($thumbnailsFiles);
print"</pre>";

?>

The print statement does in fact print the files, so I know that I've
gotten _that_ far. How should I return the contents of $files to
$thumbnailFiles?

Thanks, but I cannot use array_push() as I don't know the name of the
array that I'll be pushing to. There are four calls to the listFiles
function, and each will populate a different array.

Ah! Found it!

$thumbnailFiles=listFiles($thumbnailsDirector
Should have been:
$thumbnailsFiles=listFiles($thumbnailsDirector

the use of array_push() is not needed but the premise that it cannot
be used is wrong - the array inside the function is always called $files.

your problem is due to a simple typo, you could have checked the actual return
value of the function and seen that it does return the array:

var_dump( listFiles($thumbnailsDirectory) );

That's what I was doing with this code:
print"<pre>";
print_r($thumbnailsFiles);
print"</pre>";

I like phpEdit. It even has a built-in syntax checker, which would have caught

A decent brain with ample memory will suffice also. Upgrade packages not
available (yet) :)

Hi

I have been using the shell_exec command to perform several server queries quite succesfully i.e. analysing files systems by gettin ginformation returned by df -kP (shell_exec('df -kP')). do any of you guts know if it is possible to target a command like this on another server?

So from server A where I am running a web app, needs to run the shell_exec('df -kP') on server B, which also has php installed, so that i can display the results in my web app on server A. Hope that makes sense!

Also, how would i fopen a file such as /proc/cpuinfo on Server B from Server A.

Any help greatly appreciated

Regards

Ade

maybe you need ssh2_exec

hope that helps

    Hi Ade,

    Sure you can. You must develop 2 scripts. One that will act as
"server" and one as "client".
    So if you want to get details of server B from server A you should
have the "server" into B and "client" into A.
    Be sure the communication between these 2 servers is securised
(using a certificate or build you own encryption for communication,
restrict script response depending on server ips etc...) as you want to
pass sensitive data between them.
    Communication can be done using curl library or simply with fopen
(if allow_url_fopen allows it). parameters can be passed using XML or
simple parsed plain text.

ssh2_exec would do it for you...

If you need to inspect e.g. free space on remote servers it may be more
sensible to use SNMP or some such similar protocol/system that is
designed for exactly this purpose rather than try to hack up a system in
PHP (tho' I do love my hacking!)

Have a look at Nagios. I'd imagine your servers will have some degree of
health monitoring/reporting installed anyway for your own peace of mind,
so it shouldn't be too hard to hook into that system.

I have a PHP clustering back end server, MCache.
It is available in source form at http://www.mohawksoft.org

It allows multiple PHP web servers to share session information without any
changes to PHP code and without NFS or a database. It is based on a backend
server mcached and a PHP extension.

It is currently running on a couple websites and works successfully with
packages like Squirrelmail (which uses frames) and a few other roll your
own sites type things.

A technical discussion of why mcache is a good thing is here:
http://www.mohawksoft.org/?q=node/36

The "work in progress" user guide is here:
http://www.mohawksoft.org/?q=node/8

Any people willing to test would be appreciated, as would any suggestions on
how to improve the project.

I would be more than willing to help deploy this project on your site to get
feedback I can use to improve the project.

Thanks.

Has anyone ever used php to access the DPV and AMS Postal cds from the
USPS? If so, can you share any basic examples on how to get started
with it?

thanks

I'll check into them frowning on that. Currently, I just want to see
if I can do it.

Trust me, I am in NO way a competitor to you. :) I'm just a bored geek. :D

Andrew and Randy (two previous AME leads) started a project a while ago
called phpZ4:

http://sf.net/projects/phpz4/

I'd contact them to see what they recommend.

Thanks Chris. I was thinking that Randy did something like that. I
was planning on calling him for the project name.

Dear All,

Is there php 4.x ( rpm packages ) for Linux FC6 System ?
Due to our php programs they seem not compatable with php 5...
