I have loaded PHP according to the install file but I can not see any .php file in a
browser.
When I look under the ISAPI properties in IIS is appears that the dll is not loading.
It has a red arrow pointing down.
Any ideas?
shane
Shane,
Had the same problem - move the dll into the php directory - doesn't seem to work in
the sapi dir.
Also you need to set the root dir in php.ini

It'd be interesting to do some benchmarking on it. My guess (nothing
more) is that the limitations are RAM, disk read/write speed and network
speed in that order.

Yes, I must admit that while I find an VGA display on Windows just about
acceptable, it's not something I would like to live with permanently.
But I think that Win 98 + 32Mb + Xclient (maybe with the Windows version
of Gvim as editor) should be workable.
Of course, the reason that 486s are being abandoned (apart from hype)
are mainly down to the lack of decent video cards and the
price/compatability issues surrounding memory. (Which gives Penguin
heads the chance to snap them up for next to nothing and turn them into
print servers, firewalls, and routers!)

disk r/w speed isn't really an issue. If it is, it's because the machine
doesn't have enough RAM to buffer the stuff. Network speed should be at
the top of that list for fileserving, but for PHP stuff 10MBit is
completely sufficient.
Processor performance *is* somehow a point for PHP - on my more complex
pages I have script parsing times of 0.5-0.7 seconds, plus 1-1.5s for DB
queries, output generation etc (yes, I do cache such heavy pages. just
took that as example)

Hello,
I am attempting to take over development and maintenance of a very neglected
website (and with your donation of only 50¢ per day...). The site contained
code which was originally thought to be some proprietary, modified version
of PHP (which really pissed me off!)... but eventually it was discovered
that this was merely the somewhat out of date and rarely seen _PHP2_ (phew,
I guess...).
So I need to get hosting support for this site up ASAP. I will need support
for both PHP2 and PHP4 (which I will be converting the code to) and both
msql and mysql (again, converting from the former to the latter). Seeing as
how there are several hundred pages on the site, in various states of decay
and coded by various individuals, batch replacements and regular expressions
will not readily handle the conversion, thus necessitating the PHP2 and
msql. I have one and only one server available for this site (including for
my conversion development), thus necessitating the PHP4 and mysql.
So I'm trying to compile apache w/ the following command (oh, did I mention
I'm adding SSL too?):
[root@machine apache_1.3.14]# SSL_BASE=../openssl-0.9.6
RSA_BASE=/rsaref-2.0/local ./configure --enable-module=ssl
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a --enable-module=php4
--activate-module=src/modules/extra/libphp.a --enable-module=php
--prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-shared=ssl
...
configuration output... blah blah blah
...
[root@machine apache_1.3.14]# make
it goes through several directories compiling successfully, including
/modules/php4 and modules/extra (which is where PHP2 is).
Then I get the following error:
gcc -c -I./os/unix -I./include -DLINUX=2 -DMOD_SSL=207101

Now, I've searched the archives and found references to the
"modules/extra/libextra.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run
ranlib to add one" error... but no solution. The one exception was someone
who was screwing up because they were trying to use libextra.a as part of a
PHP3 install, not a PHP2 install. Duh. Unfortunately that's not the case
here.
Any assistance would be appreciated, and yes, I have tried the obvious:
ranlib /path/to/modules/extra/libextra.a
FWIW, this is ranlib version "GNU ranlib 2.9.5"
Any assistance appreciated, TIA...

Hello,
I'm trying to use some POP3 functions and the manual states I would need to
use the IMAP functions.
So I uncommented the ";extension=php_imap4r2.dll" line in my
"c:\winnt\php.ini" file. But it gave me the following error:
"Unable to load dynamic library './php_imap4r2.dll' - The specified module
could not be found".
I read I needed the download install the "imap-4.5.tar" module. The README
file has only instructions how to "make" it for UNIX. The default "MakeFile"
is for UNIX. So I tried to clown around and rename "MakeFile.nt" to
"MakeFile" and make it. But I only get errors:
Could Not Find D:\temp\imap-4.5\c-client\LINKAGE.*
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x1'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
I also tried this with the "MakeFile.ntk" (don't know what ntk stands for),
but no fix.
Can anybody help me with this problem?
Regards;
Eelco.
How can I maintain a user session using cookies?
Thanks
Try this:
// Set Cookie if not already set
if (!isset($user_id)) {
$token = md5(uniqid(rand()));
setcookie("user_id", $token, time()+3600,"/",".yourdomain.com");
}
look at the setcookie function on php.net to figure out all the parameters:

This will store a cookie with a userid and an unique number ($token) as
session-id (??).
If I'm not mistaken, this session-id is not checked here. Thus serves no
purose. Anybody who retrieve the cookie from the cookie file on the system
can use it to resume the session (if done within the set 3600sec.). Even if
the browser has been closed.
In case of login/password required sites, I use the login and password as
cookie values and have _no_ expiredate set. Every time a request is made
_both_ cookie values (login and password) are checked with that on the
server. When the browser is closed, the cookie is gone.
It works but I think it's quite an unconventional way ... any
suggestions/comments on this method?
Cheers;
Eelco.

The example here has nothing to do with sessions, you are correct. The
person who replied to you simply gave you a code snippet from one of my
books that assigns a unique id via a cookie. It does not map to a PHP
session.
As to your case:

I would hope that you are not storing and matching the user's plaintext
password...

Well .. I am ... nobody but the user itself can see the login and password
in the cookie. Unless it's on non-SSL connection and somebody is
packet-shiffing around. Otherwise there would be no leak for somebody else
to get this information, is there?
And if the user doesn't logout, the cookie is still destroyed when the
browser is closed anyway.
Eelco.
It's unlikely I suppose, but there's a must-have book you should look at
if you want info on hacks, including browser hacks (Hacking Exposed:
Network Security Secrets and Solutions, 2nd Edition). The cookie hack
that comes to mind only works in IE or MS products (but that's only
what, 90% of the web), but all it is is a line or so of html code that
somebody places on their site (say in an iframe...) that sends them all
your cookie data (if the user uses outlook, they can also just place it
in an email). from there, they use the cookie data to pose as that
person on various sites trying to gain sensitive info. but if you're
already giving them the password, how much more sensitive can you get?
so really, if they don't close their browser for a while, this
possibility increases. and it may be a slim possibility, but it's
better to be safe than sorry.

It's definitely possible in PHP. I've done it. You probably want to use a
combination of fopen() and other file handling functions, eregi_replace()
and str_replace().

OK, I loaded PHP with the ISAPI filter, but still no luck with authentication..
Here's the basic script that works on Apache/Linux:
<?
// File name: admin_menu.php
// Check to see if $PHP_AUTH_USER already contains info
if (!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
// If empty, send header causing dialog box to appear
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="The Back Care Center Admin Area"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Authorization Required!';

Hey all,
I've got this user authentication class that grabs a users profile from the database.
Anyhow, I need to also insert the groups that this user belongs to along with
permission settings. I'm having trouble figuring out how to store and read back the
data. I'm using PHP4. Here's the code:
// Grab the list of groups that this user belongs to
$sql = 'select groupname,a,r,w,d from auth_usergroups where username = "' . $u . '"';
$AUTHSQL .= $sql . '<br>';
$query = mysql_query($sql);
if (mysql_error() != "") {
$AUTHMSG .= mysql_error() . "<br>";
}
if (mysql_num_rows($query) > 0) {
$counter = 0;
$this->group = array();
while ($rs = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$this->group[$counter] = array(
"name" => $rs[groupname],
"a" => $rs[a],
"r" => $rs[r],
"w" => $rs[w],
"d" => $rs[d]
);
$counter++;
}
mysql_free_result($query);
}
I've tried this in a few different ways and everytime I end up with blank values or
I'm just not calling them correctly. Can anyone give me a few pointers as to how you
would go about this? By the way, this is inside the classes initialization function so
there are other properties like $this->username, $this->firstname, etc. That's why I
need this to be a multidimensional array.
Thanks,
Toby
What about an insert or an update instead of a select?

Registering a variable does not store that variable in a cookie.
Only the users's "session" ID is stored in a cookie.
ident could easily be registered, but be set to ''
We'd need to see ../index.php to have any idea what you've stored in $ident.

You can use as many headers as you like, though some conflict with each
other. EG: Location: and SetCookie() don't play well together.
The 4 headers mentioned will convince most browsers not to cache your page,
but there are always some that are going to mess up.
By forcing each URL to be unique with some random nonsensical part in it,
virtually every browser will be fooled into thinking it's a different page
and won't retrieve an old one from the cache.

You can provide a full path using "/home2/httpd/htdocs/www/header.htm"
Or, you can set your include path to be
"./:/home2/httpd/htdocs/www/:/any/other/directory/you/like";

There are several email verification scripts floating around in PHP
archives.
Most just make sure the email "looks" good for the usual formats.
None, I think, impelement the full 3-page Regular Expression it would take
to correctly validate an email *just* to see if it conforms to the rules for
a valid email.
A few may actually contact the "server" portion of the email address and ask
that server if it's a valid email. However, some such servers lie, and say
"Yes" rather than check.
There is no way to be 100% sure the email works. You have to decide how
important it is to check how carefully.

Yeah, somewhere around 50 addresses you are choking sendmail.
You'll need something designed for a little more heavy-duty work than the

See Manuel Lemos' mail class, or consider integration with a mailing list

All those weird characters you typed are not ASCII, and are not valid to
just throw into a string like that.
You can maybe use Regex hex representations of them, but they aren't going
to be the same characters on many people's browsers anyway...

I think the passwd shell command requires a real TTY rather than just ol'

You could *maybe* do it by having PHP modify the password file directly
rather than through the passwd shell command.

I think so.
First of all, this isn't a US-only forum.
Secondly, the point is to avoid price-fixing. Given the current status of
the web-design industry, there are far, far too many wannabes out there for
any real price-fixing to be effective.
Thirdly, the variance already presented is rather wide.
Fourthly, this is a public forum where consumers are also welcome to
contribute their thoughts on these pricings, rather than a non-public
collusion of only one side of the potential transactions.
Finally, why don't we wait until the DOJ actually complains about it, after
they finished breaking up Microsoft :-) More seriously, I don't think the
DOJ is going to take a dim view of this thread, even if they noticed.

Your OS may have placed an upper bound on the number of processes that are
allowed to run at one time, and you are hitting that...
I think maybe "limit" command affects that...

Another option for a low-traffic mail system might be to download the

to...
Or so I've been told. Never got around to trying it myself. Just moved to
Linux where SMTP actually exists as part of the deal.

Same thing, only use ; as separator, not :

Windows uses ./ and .. the same way Un*x does.

An ioctl is geek for Input/Output Control, I suspect.
As such, it sounds like 195.92.38.87 is complaining that the wrong kind of
software/hardware is trying to open/read that file.
Exactly what it's using to tell that it's not really a web-browser that's
reading it and it's PHP trying to pretend to be a web-browser, I'm not
sure... Maybe it's looking at USER_AGENT or something.

You'll need the GD library (http://boutell.com) and use --with-gd when
compiling.
Once you've installed those, it's a matter of reading the functions at
http://php.net/ in the GD section.

The granularity of the PHP memory limit is rather coarse -- It only checks
for available RAM at specific times.
It's not really designed to stop somebody from doing something quite that,
err, well, silly. (Or perhaps malicioius?) It's more of a convenience for
beginning scripters to not kill themselves with infinite loops.
Also, the memory quota was broken in some not-too-old versions of PHP.

Check what settings you have in httpd.conf and php.ini for logging errors --
It may be that PHP is trying to log an error (or just open a log in case
there is an error) in a file that PHP doesn't have write access to...
suExec may also be affecting it. If PHP is running as 'Joe' because of
suExec, but you've become accustomed to telling PHP to log errors to a file
'Joe' can't write to, well, PHP is not going to be able to start once you
throw suExec into the mix...

Anecdotal metering has pegged this as a 5-10% performance hit. Compared to
the Tech Support calls to say, "No, the URL is supposed to end in .php, not
.htm" that's pretty cheap. :-)
There aren't really any other non-obvious implications I can think of...
If some random hacker has inserted <?php xxx ?> into one of your .htm files,
and you alter the AddType, it will obviously fire off for the first time
now, instead of being swallowed by the browser as an unknown tag.
People who have actually gotten used to .php meaning "the cool database
pages" might be confused by how the ".htm" pages are cool now too. :-)
The PHP group doesn't get quite as much wide-spread recognition as they
deserve, but they're okay with that compared to your need for .htm as a
known entity for end users :-)

PHP -> JavaScript is easy:
<?php
echo "\n<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>\n";
echo " document.foo = $foo;\n";
echo "\n</SCRIPT>\n";
?>
The other way around is a bit tougher...
You see, PHP runs on the server and spits out your web-page to your browser.
Then, the page is done, so the server/browser close the connection and
aren't really talking to each other.
Then, your JavaScript starts executing.
Now, if you want your JavaScript to interact with PHP, your JavaScript has
to open up a whole new connection to some other page, or the same page, but
it has to pass in any values and start over. It's a whole new run of a PHP
script either way, and makes for a rather slow web-site except in certain
specialized cases.

Email attachments are quite a bit more convoluted than just adding a From
header...
You may want to use Manuel Lemos email class or some other pre-written
user-contributed function to do it.
Otherwise, you get the joy of figuring out MIME-encoding and making up
unique boundary lines to segment the mime-parts and other gnarly stuff I've
managed to not have to figure out...
Even if you want to roll your own, read their source as well as the RFCs
they used to figure all this out.

I know the page you mean, and I can't find it either :-(
If you have { or } embedded in a string as regular output to the user, that
will need to be escaped now.
The other functions were all real "weird" ones that I never used, so didn't
worry about :-^
What you might want to consider doing is installing *both* PHP3 and PHP4 at
one time, and leaving pages as PHP3 until you can verify what does or
doesn't work in some testing.
There really were very, very, very few changes from PHP3 to PHP4,
considering it was a complete re-write of the engine.
Your upgrade will almost certainly be surprisingly uneventful :-)

You mean?...
Your PHP writes out PHP, and you want that PHP to be evaluated?
You would need to not write it out and use http://php.net/eval instead.
It might be easier to just redesign your functions a little bit though...
Calling eval() to do include() sounds like you just didn't plan things quite
right for the way PHP works...

'lightweight' is good :-)
PHP has less "clutter" than, say, Perl, where there are so many functions
and overloaded symbols that no two Perl hackers can read each other's code.
The PHP Dev team has religiously and unapologetically rejected many a
"Feature Request" (like, a bazillion of them) for esoteric functions that
would be really "cool" and about 5% of us would actually find useful.
Thus, PHP is a relatively concise and lightweight language,
comparatively-speaking.
The relative merits of such a design philosophy are a rather long-winded and
subjective discussion, to say the least, that has occurred in this list
quite a few times. You may want to examine threads comparing PHP and Perl
or possibly PHP and Java for the more on-target explanations.
At a certain point, though, the discussion is not very productive -- If
you've tried XXX and PHP and you like XXX better, well, use XXX.
It's kind of like arguing whether it's better to use a Swiss Army knife,
safety scissors, or a butcher knife to chop vegetables: It kinda depends on
the situation and who's doing the chopping.

That means the --with-db2 didn't take effect somehow.
Check the config.log (?) and config.status (?) files and see if you can find
out why configure ignored your --with-db2
[Basically, dig around in every config.xxx file you can find in the PHP
source directory, and search for db2]
Sometimes it does that and doesn't complain about it for some reason...
Also, double-check that the library (the libphp.so thingie) in your
.../apache/modules/ directory actually has the date you would expect on it.
And, stop your Apache and restart it to get it to load the new PHP library.

Or are you actually using the same username/password when you do it in the
psql monitor? [I tend to use my 'real' Postgres account in the monitor and
the 'restricted' one in my PHP pages... But maybe that's just my own folly.
:-) ]
pg_exec() usually sends an error when something goes wrong... Is your
error_reporting() set to 15? Better yet, use pg_errormessage() to see if
maybe you can dig something out of that.
If all that fails, I'd suggest searching http://bugs.php.net and posting
there if it's not a known bug.

If you can live with listing the names in alphabetical order, you can do
something like this:
$query = "select name, id from candidates order by name";
$candidates = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$previous_name = 'An extremely unlikely name for a candidate to have';
$row = 0;
while (list($name, $id) = mysql_fetch_row($candidates)){
echo $name;
#Check if this candidate has same name as *next* candidate:
if (strtolower($name) == mysql_result($candidates, $row + 1, 0)){
echo " ($id)";
}
#Check if this candidate has same name as *last* candidate:
elseif (strtolower($name) == $previous_name){
echo " ($id)";
}
echo "<BR>\n";
$previous_name = $name;
}
This snippet will dump out the ID for any two (or more) candidates who have
the same name, thus ensuring a unique but "humane" output. If you have two
"Bob Jones" candidates, you'll have to remember which one is number 47 and
which one is number 53, but otherwise you can just go by names.
You may not need to go so far as to use a numeric ID: I use a similar
technique on a back-end interface [you can't see it, sorry] to
http://chatmusic.com/venues.htm where musicians can post their gigs to the
calendar. When I have two venues named "Elbow Room", I dump out their city
and state as well as their name. But, if I have two "Borders Books & Music"
in the same city, I'll also dump out the street address as well as
city/state. This provides the most "natural" interface for the musicians,
yet "unique" enough for them to accurately pick the venue they are actually
gigging at.
Well, usually... Sometimes a musician *still* manages to pick the wrong
venue. But having ID numbers spewed at the people who can't get it right
from city/state and street address doesn't really seem like it's going to
help :-)

You can send a Content-disposition: header that will make some browsers do
the right thing, and for some versions of some browsers you have to make
your download URL look like:
http://yoursite.com/test.php/whatever.doc?filename=whatever.doc
I know that extra whatever.doc in the middle looks real goofy, but the
web-server just ignores it, once it finds test.php, and PHP just ignores it,
since it just gets $filename, and the browser sees it in front of "?" and
says "Oh, this must be a whatever.doc file I need to save."
This is, like, a total hack that has nothing to do with specifications, but
Microsoft and Netscape are not known for actually following specifications.
There may be another header to send for other browsers to get it right.
Check around in the PHP code archvies linked from http://php.net/links.php
and you'll find some sample code.

Use NAME=whatever[] in your SELECT tag. Since this is:
http://www.php.net/FAQ.php#7.14
I suggest you re-read the FAQ to see if there's some other stuff there you
missed.
PS Don't feel too bad. I asked the same damn question 6 months after
reading the FAQ myself. I hadn't even understood the question, much less
the answer, when I first read it :-) Thankfully, Rasmus Lerdorf, the
original author of PHP was kind enough to answer my question politely, and,
well, that pretty much explains why I'm here right now. :-)
NOTE to newbies. Re-reading the FAQ once you think you know what you are
doing is a really Good Idea :-) Honest.

Not critical yet, but $ret is going to be the first line of output when SAS

If you want an error code, use the *THIRD* optional argument to exec().
The $reply has all the lines, and $ret has only the first line. This seems

So, not only does sas need to be executable by the PHP user (see below) but

Because PHP is not you.
You log in as you. A web-surfer visiting your site does not. That's good,
because if they did, they'd have a lot more access to your machine than you
really want to give them.
PHP runs as a part of Apache (or not, if it's CGI) and runs as a particular
user, usually 'nobody', but sometimes folks set up another special user
called 'www' or 'wwwuser' or whatever they find meaningful, and give that
user even less (or at least different) access rights than 'nobody'...
Anyway, PHP runs as some user other than the one you login as, and that's
good.
You'll have to check httpd.conf and find the "User" line to see who PHP runs
as, or look at <?php phpinfo();?> or if you are using suExec (see
http://apache.org) you'll have to, errr, figure out how that works and read
httpd.conf even more carefully.
Bottom line is, the user PHP is running as does *not* have permission for
that SASUSER library thingie.
Hope that helps clarify things -- It's a tough one to wrap your brain around
(gave me a headache the first time, I know that) but it makes perfect sense
once you "get it".

Don't think you can.
HTTP is inherently stateless...
Even if you could, when would the mailbox close? You can't rely on your
web-surfers to always hit a close button.
There *might* be an imap_popen() that would reduce the overhead of
subsequent mailbox openings, because PHP and IMAP would agree in advance to
keep the connection around for awhile in case it needs to be re-used... (I
say this only cuz I know there's a mysql_pconnect(). I have no clue how to
work IMAP)
But you still need to call imap_popen() on each page then, it will just work
faster.

f2 date 4
f3 25
f4 100
f5 4
f6 4

f9 3

total 170, if I added correctly.
Of course, that f5 field with text means that any given record could incur a
*much* larger size in the database.
Given that, and the size of the records, if I'm off by 4 or even 8 bytes, it
shouldn't make that much difference. There's always some overhead anyway,
so be generous in your planned disk space.
PostgreSQL will show you this stuff (not the total, I don't think) if you do
\d xxx in the psql monitor, and MySQL commands such as mysqlshow or
mysqladmin might also.

Not in Apache 1.3.x
User/Group inside Virtual is just ignored, I think.
Apache 2.0 was rumored to have had that on its desired feature list.
Whether it made it into reality, I dunno. (Anybody wants to clue me in
direct email 'twould be welcome.)
fhttpd (a "competitor" to Apache) has that capability if you need it bad
enough to switch to a not-so-well-known but pretty cool software package.
Another option is to run suExec-wrapped PHP as CGI using a different
mime-type for a critical few pages that need User/Group settings. Those
particular pages take the CGI performance hit, but may be not horrible for
your overall server needs. It would not even be terribly difficult to
script the changes to httpd.conf and set this up for a moderately sized
Virtual hosting environment, I should think... The added value of being
able to run PHP as a specific user for certain pages could be quite a "deal"
for some power-users.

Here is one problem: You can't use $Color for the current color you are
printing *AND* the color they previously selected.
$Color == $Color will *always* turn out to be TRUE. It's a "truism", like
asking if ("Blue" == "Blue")
You need a separate variable name for the selected color, like,
$SelectedColor, or you could use $Col for the $row["Color"], but you can't
use $Color for both the selected color and the current possible option.

Something like this inside your loop might be what you want:
$Colors = $row["Color"];
$options = explode(",", $Colors);
while (list(,$Color) = each($options)){
$option .= "<OPTION>$Color</OPTION>\n";
}
I'm not real sure that you should have Red, Green, Blue in your database in
the first place though...
It's usually a better idea to store this as a "relation":
Colors:
ColorID Color
---------------
1 Red
2 Green
3 Yellow
4 Blue
Buckets:
BucketID Paint Bucket Weight
----------------------
1 Good Good 100kg
2 Okay Good 120kg
BucketColors
--------------
BucketID ColorID
1 1
1 2
1 4
2 1
2 3
This last table says, that bucket # 1 is "related to" Color 1 (Red), Color 2
(Green) and Color 4 (Blue)
Bucket #2, on the other hand, is "related to" Color 1 (Red) and Color 3
(Yellow)
But, if all you are doing is saying that the only choices for a Bucket ever
are Red/Green/Blue, ignore all that... :-)

*maybe* you can use header("Location: $PHP_SELF?$PHP_SESSID"); (or whatever
variable is holding the session id...
But you might just be testing with a broken browser that is doing caching in

Test with some other browsers before you get too carried away, and be sure

> What is php-nuke?
It's a "Template" system written in PHP where you kinda click-and-drag to
build a PHP page.
> How could I make a php-page execute something (itself?) without entering

The most resource-friendly way is to compile PHP as a CGI, and then use
"cron" to have that PHP binary run your page every hour.
Second choice (distant second) is to use "wget" to surf to a page every
hour.
Third choice (distant third) is to use "lynx -d" to surf to a page every
hour.
If you are on Windows NT, you're mostly on your own, but you've got that
Scheduler thingie to play with, and php.exe, and you can make a shortcut to
php.exe and alter the path it uses to be more like "php.exe -q yourpage.php"
instead of just plain ol' "php.exe"
Now, back to a real OS :-)
To compile PHP as a CGI, you need to go back to the PHP source directory and
copy that config.nice file (config.status?) and name it, like,
"config.ascgi" or something.
Or, if you didn't compile from source in the first place, try viewing a page
with <?php phpinfo();?> on it and copy&paste that stuff about
"configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-kitchen-sink" into a file
somewhere. Download the PHP source code, and mostly follow the instructions
in there, *except* ignore all that stuff about configuring Apache and
using --with-apxs or --with-apache. Instead, you'll use the configure stuff
you just copied as your guide.
Anyway, whichever way you end up doing it, you'll want to end up with a file
you can execute or a command you can paste that starts off with
"configure", has all the same "--with-xxx" in it, *except* not --with-apxs
and not --with-apache.
So, you finally get that to go, then do "make" like the directions say.
You'll end up with this file named "php" in your directory there, and you
can copy that to /usr/bin or /usr/sbin or whatever location you feel is
convenient and makes sense. Just be sure you know where the heck you put
it, cuz you'll need it in a bit.
Assuming "cron" is as much as mystery to you as it once was to me, you'll
want to read "man 5 crontab"
Okay, now you'll have to read it a few more times, cuz it ain't the most
light reading. But the examples are pretty instructive. Focus on them.
You'll also want to be sure to set your environment variable DISPLAY to an
editor you know how to use instead of the default, which, Murphy's Law, will
be one you won't...
Now that opens up a whole new can of worms, since you may not know how to
set an environment variable. Easiest thing to do is to do "cd" to get back
to your home directory. Then to "ls -als". There's gonna be a whole mess
of files that you maybe never even saw before that start off with a "."
character. Peek into each one of them, and see if you can find anything
like:
setenv xxx=yyy
or
xxx=yyy
export xxx
If you do, edit that file that has that stuff, and do kinda the same thing,
only you want to set DISPLAY (or maybe editor, depending on which
Un*x/shell) you are using to your favorite editor, like "vi" or "joe" or
"pico" or "emacs" or... If you have no idea which editor you like, use
"pico" because it's the one most like Notepad, only the menus are things you
type, not things you click, and they're at the bottom...
Anyway, once you got your DISPLAY set up, you can do:
crontab -e
The -e means to "edit" your crontab file.
You want to add a line that looks something like those examples from "man 5
crontab" but that point to your "php" binary you copied into /usr/bin and
makes it fire up your script, every hour. Something not unlike this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
5 * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /full/path/to/your/script.php
Now if you couldn't get PHP to compile, just use "wget" there instead of
/usr/bin/php.
And if you couldn't get PHP to compile, and you can't get "wget" installed,
just use "lynx -d"
But someday, you want to get PHP as a CGI compiled, cuz "wget" and "lynx"
tie up an HTTP connection when you do this, so that's one less person that
can surf to your web-site when it gets busy.
Save and quit your editor.
Because there is a "5" in that first column, this is going to fire off the
php program in /usr/bin at 5 minutes after the hour, every hour (the first
*) every day (the second *) every month (the third *), no matter whether
it's a Monday, Sunday, Weekday, Weekend, or whatever (the last *), and it's
going to feed yourscript.php to PHP to run it.
The -q just tells PHP not to bother printing out that Content-type:
text/html stuff, since it ain't going to a browser anyway.
The email line means it will email you whatever output PHP makes, or an
error message if you screwed up. (Only maybe I got the email= part wrong...
That's why you read "man 5 crontab")
PS You can find pretty much this same answer in the mailing list
archives...

You have magic quotes on.
Your ISP doesn't.
Edit .htaccess file in your root web directory on your ISP host, and add:
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc On
(If I remember the directive correctly... See php.ini to be sure.)
Your ISP may also not be allowing you to use .htaccess files for performance
reasons. Alternative:
Write a function not unlike this:
function maybe_addslashes($text){
if (magic_quotes_gpc()){
return $text;
}
else{
return addslashes($text);
}
}
And, everywhere you move data from input to the database, you'll need to
call this function on your text.
The bonus here is that you can move from server to server without caring
which ones have Magic Quotes on/off or whether they have enabled .htaccess

I had a problem similar to this myself a while ago...
I don't believe the issue is with the differing versions of PHP, but rather
with the improper escaping of the quote characters.
There are two PHP functions:
addslashes() and stripslashes()
Call the former when you submit the information to properly escape the
characters that need it, something like:
$new_data = addslashes($old_data);
should work... then when you go to display the information, call
stripslashes to de-escape everything:
$display_str = stripslashes($new_data);
I hope this helps.

Here's what I'm trying to do: I'd like to pass a hash to a
function as a reference, but I don't want to predeclare that
hash (I'd like to specify it in the function call).
Here's a code example:
<?php
function foo (&$hash) {
while (list ($k, $v) = each ($hash)) {
echo "$k :: $v<br />\n";
}
}
// works this way
$bar = array (
"one" => "value",
"two" => "value"
);
foo ($bar);
// but what I want to say is something like this
foo (["one" => "value", "two" => "value"]);
// what also doesn't work
foo ( array ("one" => "value", "two" => "value") );
foo ( list ("one" => "value", "two" => "value") );
?>
Am I missing something?

foo () is declared to take a reference to a variable. This only works
with "real" variables, not the temporary ones returned from array() etc.
Modify it to
function foo ($hash) {
and it will work

It doesn't have a use in only PHP but in all programming languages.
It's a math thing .. u can get a remainder of a division.
10%8 = 2
12%8 = 4
10%5 = 0
12%5 = 2
Simple application:
$ppl = 23;
$grpsize = 7;
echo ("when $ppl people are divided over groups of $grpsize, ".
$ppl%$grpsize ." people are ungrouped.");
This operator can be used for more complex situations.

Hi,
I`m using the following to get the image size...

My problem is $Frame can`t contain the full name of the image for various

lines of this...
$size = getimagesize("$Frame'top.gif'");
If $Frame = Hello then the getimagesize would perform on Hellotop.gif but as

such as
("$Frame" + "top.gif")
("$Frame\"top.gif\"")
($Frame"top.gif")

Well, I'll contribute to the discussion whether you like or not...
For a year I was running a website on Canaca.com (former Nortel.no) ...
They've been nice, I though ...
Then I once tried one weird thing:
<?='<PRE>'.show_code('/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf').'</PRE>'?> from a
simple PHP page ...
hmm ... Not only I broke to the hell their security, but I also found 342
matches under a simple search for </virtual ..
I then quickly understood that I wasn't the only *unhappy* customer on the
server ... there were 341 MORE!!!
I stayed with them until my contract ended and then added my friend to my
business and rented a dedicated server on insidecrew.net for something like
$200 a month ...
Too much you'll say? But we have a root access now on an extremely cute
FreeBSD machine... We are now reselling some of our space to *these who we
know* and the price drops dramatically, we can add more projects AND WE ARE
THE ROOTS not the rats...
So my advice : if you run more then one project, preferably not alone, and
know others who is willing to do the same : add them in and get yourself a
real server!
Of course it only works for these who know the systems ... not for small
businesses... these need some help...
My point is simple: Yes it is better to be hosted by a smaller company, but,
only if they are responsible enough not to put too many others up there ...
and it all have to cost less then a big company, otherwise I myself will
become a company.
Can you do it?

Maxim Maletsky

Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP hosting - the final frontier.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with a one-manned hosting service. I agree
with Robert in this, there are a lot of big hosting companies that don't
really have a personal hold of their business to really care about their
clients. To them everything is automated and all they do is hire customer
service people who are only taught to, well, "serve customers" with answers
to questions they don't know in the first place. They just read from the
script and have basic step-by-step trouble shooting instructions in front of
them to solve a client's problems/requests. If you need an updated software
package, like PHP4, froman old PHP3 engine, you'de have to beg for it and
you might have to go through several layers of support just for that request
to go through. Let me remind you that the software is free of charge. If the
request is accepted, then more power to you. If it's not then you'll have to
deal with it until you decide to find another host.
I have one question for you Robert. XML has been in the market for a long
time (since 1998), and the recommendations are now set to a true standard.
Why do most hosting services not have support for XML based languages yet?
Thanks...

I shouldn't even reply to this...
Yes I would host with me.
Have you ever heard of a backup plan. People that would step in if
something happens to me? People that I trust to keep the company going if
it fails.
With all due respect, how do people host with a company that doesn't give a
rats ass about them or their business. How many big companies redirect your
call, or brush you away when problems occur. I been over backwards for my
clients. Providing better service then many of the bigger companies out
there. That is why people do and will continue to host with me. Like I
said, I plan on hiring people in the near future. Things take time to
evolve.
I am not saying that my company is for everyone. If you don't like a one

not been disappointed like so many times before.

I am going to have to disagree on this one.
I run a successful (and profitable) hosting company(http://www.rolet.com).
My employees total 1 (me, myself and I). The number of clients hosted is
roughly 120. I provide a wide variety of services on Linux, FreeBSD, NT,
and W2K. Yes it is hard to believe that 1 person can be available 24x7, or
not take vacations, but this is what I do and LOVE every second of it. I
value customer satisfaction and strive to provide that best Internet
services possible. For me this is a career for life, not just a job. So I
do believe that 1 person can be available 24x7 and not take vacations.
Don't get me wrong, some days it is tough. I would like to have other
employees in the future, but don't mind the sacrifices taken to get there.

Chris,
This all sounds good but for one thing: I firmly believe that one man
with a root password is not enogh to look after even one client. I have
hosted with 3 one-man-companies, and it always came to the point where I
couldn't reach someone for a week, or I waited for 3 months, only to be
granted connect privileges to the mysql database - no offense meant! I
think it's just too much for one man, you cannot be available 24/7, and
you will want holidays.
Still, a PHP-specialized hosting environment would be worth much.
Cheers,

Ok,
I've got an email address setup to pipe to a PHP script setup to handle the
request and do whatever I need to. (In my specific situation, it's a help
email address, and will create a ticket in a database.)
As a test, I'm opening the STDIN data stream and writing it to a file to
make sure the email looks correct.
<?
# This is the standard input script.
$fp = fopen("php://stdin","r");
$writer_file = fopen("test.txt","w");
fwrite($writer_file,"$fp");
fclose($writer_file);
fclose($fp);
?>
As stated, it does create the test.txt in the specified location, however,
upon inspection of the file, it only shows the following text: "Resource id
#1" on the first line, and that's it.
I'm using PHP compiled as an apache module. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,

This is what would be expected, your writing a file pointer to file not the
coentents of the stdin, you need to do somthing along the lines of the
following
// Untested Code
/* -*- Open stdin for reading -*- */
$fp = fopen("php://stdin","r");
/* -*- Open test.txt for writing -*- */
$writer_file = fopen("test.txt","w");
/* -*- Check both were opened -*- */
if($fp && $writer_file) {
/* -*- Read in stdin -*- */
while(!feof($fp)) {
$stdin .= fread($fp, 4096);
}
/* -*- Write to test.txt -*- */
if (sizeof($stdin) != fwrite($writer_file, $stdin, sizeof($stdin))) {
//Not all of stdin was written to file
}
else {
/* -*- Close Files -*- */
fclose($writer_file);
fclose($fp);
}
}
else {
//files were not opened
}

Hi,
I've just started experimenting with ob_start("ob_gzhandler") a bit, and I
have found that if any output is generated before ob_start() is called,
nothing at all gets compressed; if ob_start() is called before any output,
everything is compressed.
Is this the case, I mean, is this "by design" ?

Yes, it wouldn't really work any other way. You can't mix non-compressed
and compressed in the same request.

Rasmus,
Thanks for the clarification; it seems obvious, too, that mixing compressed
and non compressed content would be quite difficult to implement; at least
it would partially compromise the speed/size gain because of added protocol
overhead.
Now, imagining that we have enabled compression by calling
ob_start("ob_gzhandler"), what happens for a document that contains
something along these lines:
<!-- snip -->
...
<?
// Enable HTTP compression
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
// PHP content
$content = "This is some content.";
?>
<div>This is a normal HTML section</div>
<?
// PHP content continues
$content .= "And the rest of it.";
echo $content;
?>
...
<!-- snip -->
In this particular case, what would be compressed ? As far as I have
understood, nothing at all, because some part of the output is not "passing
through" PHP, right ?

Unless someone back-ports the sablotron stuff to PHP 3 you are pretty much
out of luck. Upgrade.

Can someone please help me with this code I'm having major problems with
arrays. This code is part of a function I'm writing to deal with an array
returned from a HTML form of check boxes so if anyone has an example of this
sort of thing I'd appreciate a look at it. Anyway Code follows :
//Reading from a data base
$db = mysql_connect("$DB_Server", "$DB_Login, $DB_Password");
mysql_select_db("$DB_Name",$db);
$results = mysql_query("SELECT option_type, code FROM options WHERE
code='000' ORDER BY option_type",$db);
mysql_fetch_array($results);
// From what understand I should have an array some thig like this:
// ("Size"=>"A4" , "Size" => "A3", "Size"=>"A5", "Colour"=>"Red", etc..);
$types = array_values($results);
// OK so now I think I have an array like this:
// ("A4" , "A3", "A5", "Red", etc..);
while ($type =array_pop($types)){
echo $type."<br>";
}
// Now I'm expecting this list to be printed to be outputted
A4
A5
A3
Red
etc...
I'm figureing that this would be a good way to retreive a listing from the
web site arrays and test and insert them one by one.
/// The table options
option_type || code || option_preferences
Size || 000 || A4
Size || 000 || A3
Size || 000 || A5
Colour || 000 || Red
Colour || 000 || Blue
Colour || 000 || Green
Hi Rasmus,
thanks for you reply. As some of the phpers already
stated I also disagree about the visibility issue. But
it's IMHO anyway (besides I do not have technical
skills enough to try to implement it).
I'll check the template you mentioned but I was
wondering if a "built-in" one would not give a better
integration and give php users a "standard" way...
So what's in the TODO list for a 4.1 release ?
Thanks again
