you can only TOUCH a file that you own. Usually PHP is *nobody*. Is there a
way for a script to create a file on the web server?

The directory needs the 'x' bits as well otherwise no-one will be able to get
into it.

Ok, here's another one. I've never used the php port of TAL, but I've
used TAL a little bit in Zope and it's really nice.
Here's a link to an article on the zope site about TAL. One really
good thing about TAL (below) is that HTML editing tools tools like
Dreamweaver, Amaya or and GoLive, for instance, can be used to edit
the templates. So the Interface Engineers can do their 'thang' and the
programmers can do their 'thang' with less interference.
,----[ http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Articles/ZPT1 ]
| The tal:content attribute is a TAL statement. Since it has an XML
| namespace (the tal: part) most editing tools will not complain that
| they don't understand it, and will not remove it. It will not change
| the structure or appearance of the template when loaded into a
| WYSIWYG editor or a web browser. The name content indicates that it
| will set the content of the title tag, and the value "here/title" is
| an expression providing the text to insert into the tag.

Also u could build your own system that is php xml and xslt based. That
will really help you separate the logic from the presentation.
Check out (dom)xml and (dom)xslt. Sometimes there is still logic in the
presentation with template systems....with xslt however, it might be to
much for the design (interface) guys.
Those should help u out.

Let's be honest, XSL is is one big logic step itself -- moreover it's a
whole other language to learn.

Looks like you're trying to run it as a shell script, or a cgi program.
Replace the sh-bang on the first line with <?php and make sure the
last line of the script is ?>
eg:
<?php
echo"Hello World!";
if ($foo):
echo "yep\n";
elseif ($bar):
echo "almost\n";
else:
echo "nope\n";
endif;
phpinfo();
?>

Yeah, you just need to enclose the actual script in the opening/closing
php tags (<?php and ?>). And to run it as a shell script, you can
either call the script as...
c:\path\to\php\php.exe filename.php (or just 'php filename.php' if the
php interperter is in your path), or put the sh-bang as the first line
(before the opening php tag).

You can set any directory as the web root in apache's
httpd.conf file.
You might also want to check out the virtualhost
directive. (there's an example in the default
httpd.conf file)

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#virtualhost

ezmlm has MySQL bindings for managing the subscription records. The
messages are stored in disk files though.

Apparently there is a way to make it work with Postfix too:

The ezmlm package has a number of problems that make it really annoying
to deal with; it has its own way of interpreting message headers which
isn't much related to any RFC. The primary problem is the fact that it
considers the "Return-Path" header (i.e. the envelope sender) to be the
authoritative address of the sender, superceding the From and Reply-To
headers. The only way around it is to "spoof" the envelope sender,
thereby falsifying your headers. Gahgh.
Now ... if you were to write a class to manage Mailman configs ... that
would be useful. ;-)

Hi,
I've just got PHP working with Java. It connects to a remote Oracle DB
with Java and without the Oracle Client installed on my machine,
it's sure a beauty. What I was wondering, what's behind it, I mean how
does it work? I transfer Objects in Java and get data out. How do PHP
and Java interact, after all they are two different technologies.
I've searched google and pretty much every site I could think off, but
I've found nothing more than a setup tutorial.
By the way, I should mention if you have them interact, Apache + PHP
doesn't like java packages at all. PHP blows off with a severe error
message.
thx

I have two date strings coming out from MySQL.
Both fields are defined as datetime.
When i come to print them like this :
Echo"<B>Ticket Opened</B> : " . date("l, F jS Y
H:i",$row->OpenDate) . "<BR>";
Echo"<B>Problem Start</B> : " . date("l, F jS Y
H:i",$row->ProblemStart) . "<BR>";
I get :
Ticket Opened : Sunday, July 13th 2003 13:37
Problem Start : Thursday, January 1st 1970 02:33
Notice that the 2nd date is wrong and it's some kind of default that the
function
returns. Only if i add strtotime() and only to the 2nd field do i get
the correct answer :
Ticket Opened : Sunday, July 13th 2003 13:37
Problem Start : Saturday, July 12th 2003 20:36
any idea?
Sincerely

Hi,
I just finished a script for an US company and now have to provide them
with a billing receipt stating my work and the price for it.
google didn't come up with anything usefull, most search results came up
with billing scripts and not an example text of such a billing receipt.
Does anyone have an example text, which you use when you have to charge
a client for your work?
I am asking because english isn't my first language and instead of
making s.th. up in my own words it would surely look better, if I can
present s.th. which is 100% correct :)
Thanks,
Duncan

You need a web server in order to run the scripts (unless you are
strictly doing it command line).
I have a tutorial that shows you how to setup Apache with PHP on
Windows (its not OS specific, but it can be applied to any Windows
version).
Here is the link <http://www.meidomus.com/archives/000059.php>

Thanks for your help. Also, I checked out your tutorial and Apache and PHP.
I have Apache installed, and I am using it for backend work. I have been
using Perl, but have discovered PHP, and want to be able to use it on the
command line. Another email told me the solution.
Replace the shebang line with <?PHP and end the script with ?>
And that is how simple the fix was, and now I am going to rewrite all of my
batch files and perl scripts using PHP. I do need a little more
understanding of Apache and will be studying your Apache tutorial. Thanks
again.
