--- Begin Message ---Short Answer: Its all about programming. Task you asked is easy to accomplish. Long Answer: PHP or JavaScript, it is still to program. If you feel yourself being a good programmer already or a being a quick learner then there should be no worries from your side doing such thingies... in PHP or JavaScript or both. -- Maxim Maletsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 6 Jun 2003 10:38:05 +0100 "Simon Thurtle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > OK, now I have I have been convinced that PHP is the best thing since cheese > burgers, I have a question... > How easy is it to...

--- Begin Message ---Thought I throw in my post from the forums into this mailing list: Just wanted to give my results on this test I did. First the story. I will be hosting sites on my server and decided to go with .NET/Win2003, with IIS. Well most sites are php based or perl with mysql backend. After configuring everything I gave it a test from another system externally. i did that and noticed it was slow. Slower compared to the linux box I currently have the site on for testing purposes on another provider. Heck even while statements without hitting the DB were giving delays that were over 10 seconds! Wooa I couldnt believe it. So I decided to add a code snippet to get the seconds of script execution. I did this off a query with 12 results that echoed out into html. Now with Linux I came up with numbers like: 0.0163360 The above number was pretty consistent. Now onto Windows 2003 .NET. On the same page with the same output: 2.6936080 0.9500151 4.9112860 0.6226690 0.6032619 Wooa!! But this cant be true. I have had Win2k host php sites before and it seemed faster then .NET. But these are the results so far. So with this my thoughts of cause are: a) Windows just plain sucks with open source b) .NET doesnt seem to allow cgi, only ISAPI. Perhaps ISAPI is slowing it down c) In Linux Im using Apache, where in Windows Im using IIS d) The .NET OS is a beta and that could be the issue e) My code just sucks. But why would it be faster on Linux then? Any thoughts on the possibilities I have shown here? The Chaos __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I guess it could be some "beta" bug with .NET. Yeah, windows can be slower, but not that slow. Are you sure the databases are the same on each one, including the indexes? > a) Windows just plain sucks with open source > b) .NET doesnt seem to allow cgi, only ISAPI.

--- Begin Message ---We upgraded from php 4.1.2 to php 4.3.2 and some errors have been discovered. Some scripts use the form <input type=file> and use to return a value of none when no date is entered. This value (none)is no longer returned and has caused application errors. Is there something that can be modified in the .ini file to change this behavior back. It would be alot easier doing this than modifying the large number of scripts that allow file uploads. Any help is greatly appreciated. thnx, Chris

--- Begin Message ---Thanks for your reply. I had actually made a mistake in the code. It looks like this now: print "<a href=\"#\" onClick=\"window.opener.document.order.".stripslashes($HTTP_GET_VARS['name'] ).".value='$y-$m-$d';\">$d</a>"; How could I still use the id thing on this? I now use ' in the brakets as well, if that helps any...

--- Begin Message ---Glory! I'm stuck in a crazy problem. I have a Global.PHP file that runs the whole show. It's a Link Index Program with a Yahoo Style Directory Structure. There are certain additional features like "New Links", "Popular Links", "Top Rated" etcetera. The global.php file contains functions for each feature. But each function ends with exit; If you don't use the exit; , then the main Category Structure, which is the prime function, a global function, also displays on every page.. And if you do use exit; .. then all the rest of the HTML and Interface code disappears and the page just ends there. This is a problem.. I need to display the rest of the Interface, but not the Category Structure, when you click on a feature like New Links.. Let me give you example of New Links function.. function new_links($numdays) { global $nol; // displays a list of links added in the last x days - limit is $nol links if (!$numdays) { $numdays = '5'; } else { $numdays = "$numdays"; } $time = time(); $mintime = $time - ($numdays * 24 * 60 * 60); $links_sql = "SELECT * FROM sslinks WHERE link_dateadd > $mintime AND link_validated = 'yes' ORDER BY link_dateadd DESC LIMIT 0,$nol"; $links = links_sql($links_sql); echo html_header("New Links"); if (!$links) { $links = ss_template('no_new_links.tmpl'); } echo ss_template('new_links_page.tmpl', array('%maxnumlinks%' => $nol, '%numdays%' => $numdays, '%links%' => $links)); echo html_footer(); exit; } Now this function goes in a place inside a page which has a complete Site interface.. I cant have the page just stop here.. the rest of the Interface needs to display. Removing "exit;" does that.. but also repeats the Directory Structure which is a Global Function.. I tried using "break;" but that doesn't work this way.. Any suggestions?

--- Begin Message ---Perhaps a return, if it's a global function? Like return(1) if success and return(0) if failure or something like that? However I have a question for you, why do you turn $numdays into a string and then do mathematical operations on it? $numdays = "$numdays"; and $numdays = '5'; Does that force some kind of behavior that's needed?

Code: header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); $im = imagecreate(200,14); $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255,255,255); $green = imagecolorallocate($im, 51,102,0); $shadow = imagecolorallocate($im, 204,204,153); imagettftext($im, 12, 0, 1, 14, $shadow, "arialbd.ttf", $imgText); imagettftext($im, 12, 0, 0, 13, $green, "arialbd.ttf", $imgText); imagejpeg($im); imagedestroy($im); If I restart IIS, the problem goes away. Has anyone else seen this problem, know why this might be happening and/or have a fix? Thanks much, Doug Dossett, LLC www.dougdossett.com

If I use phpMyAdmin's dump features, it just freezes. I've currently got a php script that goes thru each table and backs up about 10,000 records iteratively (for example accounts1.txt, accounts2.txt). But it just backs them up to the host itself. (a) I need it to zip up the files to make them smaller, (b) I would like the script to save the zipped files to a designated folder on my local harddrive via ftp download (without me having to say where, or giving it an okay).

--- Begin Message --- Hello,
I have found troubling behavior using include() that looks like a bug. When I specify an include file by a full path name versus a relative path, PHP acts as though it has included the file, but variable and constant definitions in the include file are not coming through. My server is running PHP 4.3.1.
Here is an example:
I created a file called 'include.php', with the following contents:
<?
echo "include.php opened <br>"; //should print -only- if included, right?
$testVar = "test succeeded!";
?>
Then I created 'test.php', with the following contents:
<?
$testVar = "not defined"; //include.php should redefine this as 'test succeeded!'
//include("http://www.walkereffects.com/test/include.php";); // full path
include("include.php"); // relative path
echo $testVar;
?>
Using the relative path version of include outputs: include.php opened test succeeded!
And using the full path results in: include.php opened not defined
This doesn't seem right! Any ideas how I can work around this?

That will make an HTTP request to your web server for /test/include.php which will of course get parsed by PHP and you will only get the parsed output which means you won't see any variables or any PHP tags at all for that matter.

Your include() call can then just look like: <? include('web/test/include.php'); ?> and it'll work from anywhere, regardless of where the file that's doing the including is located [1]. As a bonus, if you ever change hosts, or your host re-organizes its directory structure, and all of your includes rely on the include_path, simply re-set include_path, and your site works again. joel [1] Of course, the order of directories in your include_path matters, too. If it contains '.:/usr/home/sites/www.walkereffects.com/', then a file matching in the current working directory will take precedence over the one in your site root.

So make the "id_num" column UNIQUE or a PRIMARY KEY. Then you will get an error if you insert a duplicate value. Find the error by using mysql_error(). ---John W. Holmes...

Before I read about the .phps extension (which probably stands for php source), I used: ln -s mysource.php mysource.php.txt This makes clear that it's actually a .php file, but it should be shown as a regular .txt file. I think that the advantage of this method is that the number of new extensions that are needed stays more limited. Otherwise each script language (.pl, .py) needs it's own source code extension (.pls., .pys) and in fact the file isn't different, it just has to be handled differently. Perhaps it would be better if it had been coded in the protocol, so the http:// part. Perhaps it would also have been better when .html files would have been automatically generated from .php files. So if you ask for index.html or index.htm and there is an index.php file it would be executed by the server and it's output would be send instead. The output is namely really HTML code. It would then also be possible to look at the source code under it's actual name with the .php extension. (Of course only when the file would have the proper permissions.)

You would either need to do this: $row['added'], $row['q40']); ...or, better yet, something like this, so you aren't printing out the whole table for each row in the results: echo " <div class=\"colorfield\"> <table> <tr><th>DATE</th><th>COMMENTS</th></tr>\n "; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { echo " <tr><td>{$row['time_stamp']}</td><td>{$row['heading']}</td></tr>\n"; } echo " </table> </div> "; Hope this helps, Torben > } > > /* Free resultset */ > > mysql_free_result($result); > > > /* Close the database connection */ > > mysql_close($link); > > ?> > > > </body> > </html> -- Torben Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +1.604.709.0506 http://www.thebuttlesschaps.com http://www.inflatableeye.com http://www.hybrid17.com http://www.themainonmain.com -----==== Boycott Starbucks! http://www.haidabuckscafe.com ====-----

A security consultant has suggested that we buy a separate firewall for the firewall instead of running iptables. He recommended a Symantec VelociRaptor or one of their firewall appliances. Does this sound like good advice? Are there any other models we sould look at? thanks, Luis R. Lebron
