You'll need the user to run some program that sends it. Like the curl
thing if it actually works on Windows.

I responded to the message which included the attachment, and here it is for
those who missed it:
Goody, a virus. LOL
Note: According to the Virus scanner used on php.net (or on the mailing
list. whichever) Emanuel.exe is a virus. Here is the URL for information on
it:

Gotta hate when that happens.

Hi.
Yesterday an email-virus entitled Emanuel was sent out over this list, and I
am not sure by who. It came in the form of Emanuel.exe, and had an icon
resembling that of a standalone flash projector file (pink diamond with a
white multi-pointed asterisk-type thing in the middle).
This virus appears to be a backorifice or netbus style virus, and adds
something to a system file that makes it so that *every* time you try to
launch a program, it launches "Wintask.exe", which is *not* an official
task, despite the name. It puts a green ICQ flower in your taskbar, and if
you click it, a button pops up that says "Nunca <bla bla> esta button". The
<bla bla> is because I forget the word for "push" in spanish, and I'm not
about to open this program again -- It translates to "NEVER PUSH THE
BUTTON" -- and trust me, *don't*, this, i have found, is what activates the
virus.
I may have lost several weeks of work to this virus, and I advise you all to
watch out, as it was likely sent inadvertantly.
This virus was reply to each email sent.
I, that day, have posted a reply here to someone. It reached some poor
php-general list subscriber and it's outlook (or whatever) has replied to me
personally with that .EXE file attached. I didn't open it of course since I
receive such a staff at least twice a day (no kidding, I am subscribed to
dozens of lists)
I think, removing the guy of the list would help us to avoid meeting the
virus on this list again.

Sup,
It can be done...but it will be complicated. First off. You should
check out the extract() php command.
http://php.net/extract
This function makes entries in an array into local variables. Let's say
your row array has 2 columns, title and duration.
You can do:
while( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) )
{
extract( $row , EXTR_PREFIX_ALL , "qt_"); // last parameter is a prefix
to add onto the var names
echo "title = $qt_title , duration = $qt_duration<BR>";
}
---
Now onto the mysql goodness. I don't know of any way to stack rows from
different tables. It really wouldnt work because the column names would
probably be different. Doing a join isn't going to work either because the
tables will probably not contain the same number of rows.
I suggest selecting just the row id and creation time from each of your
tables. Like:
$result1 = mysql_query();
$result2 = mysql_query();
$result3 = mysql_query();
Then
while( !$dead1 || !$dead2 || !$dead3 )
{
if(!$row1 && !$dead1) $row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc() or $dead1 = true;
if(!$row2 && !$dead2) $row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc() or $dead2 = true;
if(!$row3 && !$dead3) $row3 = mysql_fetch_assoc() or $dead3 = true;
// compare all 3 times, find nearest one
// store winning row id into a temp var, like win_id;
// have a list of table names which corresponds to the rows. row1 =
blah_tbl , row2 = eh_tbl , row3 = wow_tbl
// store table name from winning row, store in win_table;
// and finally set the winning row to 0, so that row will be fetched next
time through the loop
$each_result = mysql_query("select * from $win_table where id =
$win_id");
Output_my_Result( $each_result );
}
It sure ain't pretty, but that's how I could do it...Hopefull all that helps
you somehow.
SL.

Thanks a bunch, SL. I was expecting some heavy manipulation of that sort.
Wouldnt have been able to write that code. (yet ! ;-). I will try that
tomorow.
This afternoon In despair I ended tweaking the db and creating an extra
table to link all the desired tables with a time indice, temporarily
solving my problem but promising future headaches when I devellop the db
admin page. Here is how I dit it:
table "all_items"
item_id (id of the items in their original tables)
date_posted (original item post date)
table_name (where the item comes from)
spot_id (key to the project)
It works with this code:
//connecting to the link table to get time-ordered list of relevant items,
their origin and their keys
$sql4="select DATE_FORMAT(date_posted, '%a %m/%d/%y at %l:%i %p.'),
item_id, item_table from spot_items where spot_id = \"$spot_id\" order by
date_posted desc";
$result4=MySQL_query($sql4);
while($spotitems=MySQL_fetch_array($result4))
{
list($items_date_posted, $items_id, $items_table) = $spotitems ;
//linking to the real tables to get the real item info
$sql5="select * from $items_table where item_id = \"$items_id\"";
$result5=MySQL_query($sql5);
while($items=MySQL_fetch_array($result5))
{
$items_title = $items["title"];
$items_description = $items["description"];
$items_duration = $items["duration"];
}
//outputing in fonction of the item origin
if ($items_table == "movie")
echo "$items_title (Quicktime, duration: $items_duration)
$items_date_posted<br>$items_description<br";
if ($items_table == "storyboard")
echo "$items_id\ $items_title (Storyboard) $items_date_posted<br>
$items_description<br>";
if ($items_table == "picture")
echo "$items_title(Picture) $items_date_posted <br>$items_description<br>";
}
thanks again,
Nicolas.
Doh, I shoulda thought of that, a temp table is the best way to do it.
Altho, I don't see why you have a spot_id as a key for that table. Your are
probably never going to access that table via that arbitrary number. If
anything, you should make item_id the key. The id on your other tables
should also be keys.

hey, why not to have one single query?
or..
INSERT INTO tmp_table SELECT * FROM first_table;
INSERT INTO tmp_table SELECT * FROM second_table;
... do a query on tmp_table,
DELETE FROM tmp_table;
but, isn't it better to have one table only? - you'll skipp three steps.

Subject: [PHP] getting rows from separate tables stacked in a single
array ? (newbie, mysql)
Hi.
This will probably sound simple to all of you but I am hitting my head on
a brick wall so far :-).
I need to generate a list (sorted by descending time) of different objects
referenced in multiple tables. All those objects share a key related to a
project.
This works splendidly from a single table :
$sql="select * from storyboards, where spot_id = \"$spot_id\" order by
date_posted desc";
$result=MySQL_query($sql,$db);
while($row=MySQL_fetch_array($result))
{
$qt_title = $row["title"];
$qt_duration = $row["duration"];
$qt_date_posted = $row["date_posted"]; //(timestamp)
$qt_description = $row["description"];
$qt_id = $row["quicktime_id"];
}
Is there a mysql query that would allow me to stack complete rows in
multiple tables at once (It seems more elegant because I can sort them
while extracting them) or is there a way in PHP to concatenate results in
a single array and then sort them by time... ?
I tried to use a join query, wich produced an invalid query error. (I
think it tries to produce a table with merged data, not just a stack of
rows).
$sql4="select * from quicktimes, other_images, storyboards, where
quicktimes.spot_id, other_images.spot_id, storyboards.spot_id =
\"$spot_id\" order by date_posted desc";
thank you for your help !

how about something like:
$count = 0;
$list = array();
$sql[]="select * from storyboards, ... ";
$sql[]="select * from storyboard2, ... ";
$sql[]="select * from storyboard3, ... ";
$sql[]="select * from storyboard4, ... ";
foreach ($sql as $thissql)
{ $result=MySQL_query($thissql,$db);
while($row = MySQL_fetch_array($result))
$list[$row["field_to_sort_by"] . "***" . ++$count] = $row;
}
ksort($list)
I haven't tried this precisely but the principle should work, and I have
tried this method of sorting arrays by an element of the member arrays.

I'll save everyone the trouble and skip ahead to the anti-climactic end to
the email validation problem: you can't.
You can filter blatantly invalid email addresses (but do not go strictly
from the RFC, because some very weird emails end up being valid regardless).
You can resolve hosts.
You can send a probe.
You can develop a parrellel-process tri-layer error corrected neural-network
driven logic filter.
You can ask nicely.
You can ask nicely twice.
You can beg and plead and threaten and pout.
But you can't be sure.
The way I do my email validation is inform the user that if they don't give
a valid email they can't activate their account. I send them an email
without doing much of anything in the way of parsing their address. I
include a url which they need only visit in their browser to confirm their
account.
But you know what? No matter how clearly I tell them that they can't
activate their account without a valid email, that doesn't stop them from
giving a clearly invalid email address. Go figure.
The answer comes down to "don't even bother to be clever". It will just
slowly drive you insane.
So the moral of the story is: verify, verify, verify.

Which is not as trivial as it sounds, since whois does not really have "return-codes".
You need to know in advance how this particular whois-server is responding. (since
most whois-server just serve a few TLD you might not even use only one whois-server).
Even the output of a general whois-server like whois.thur.de (you can query pretty much
everything on it) differs from TLD to TLD (since all whois.thur.de is, is asking the
actual
whois-server for that TLD.)
It's probably much easier for validating a domain to use the mx-record-function.
> Again, it's not "real-time" validation of anything except the

If your php-scripts looksup the mx-record for the domain and delivers directly
to the mx for the domain, you might be able to verify in real-time, since
you will get the return-codes of the mx. However not all mx'es deliver locally.
As soon, as the mx passes the mail onto a different host for delivery (and there
quiet a few of these around...) you can't verify.
So basically, yes, you can lookup the domain, verify that the domain as a valid
mx, but that's pretty much it.

How do you mean, "check"? Do you want to use a regular expression to see if
it's a valid URL, or do you want to open a connection to it and see if the

well, you can try fsockopen.
see it on php.net/fsockopen
it will even return you an error if not connected.
start from the example describing the function on PHP.net/fsockopen (did I
misspelled it?)

Hey guys!
I'm writing a guestbook with mysql. My probblem is that when user enter at
long word like blablablablablablablablablablablabla my html-tables gets
screwed up. If someone is just fooling around the whole page design can be
destroyed. I want to know how I can make sure that no word is longer than x
characters. If a word should be longer than that, I would like the word
divided into smaller parts with a - character at the end of the first word
like this:
"this is a text in the guestbook.
if there is a really long word
like blablablablablablablabla-
blablabla it is divided into
smaller parts and a - char
is added to the first word."
I thought about reading the whole message into an array, and then loop
through it and for each word check whether it is larger than x chars, and if
so, change it. But couldn't that be a very memory consuming script if it
should do that for every message? Anyone knows how I could do this?
First off I'm aware of the service pack, installed it, no fix.
Currently we build a PDF for download to represent a hardcopy of our
customers data. It works very well so far and will likely become a standard
feature. We experienced no problems with cross-platform use until we moved
into a mod_ssl server. The PDFs are no served from within the SSL realm. We
changed no code but now MSIE on W2K and NT cannot get a PDF, MSIE complains
that the file "cannot be found". The ssl_request log shows no error and the
file was served completely. All Macs, Unixes, and NAV on wintel platforms
work fine.
This works:
Dynamic PDF (built with php) over http MSIE/NAV PC/MAC
Dynamic PDF (built with php) over https MSIE/NAV MAC and NAV PC
Static PDF over http MSIE/NAV PC/MAC
Static PDF over https MSIE/NAV PC/MAC
This doesn't:
Dynamic PDF (built with php) over https MSIE on PC
Param strings on the URL make no difference (think sessions), failure still
occurs with the same message. That was why I tested static PDFs, just to be
sure.
We are running ->
Apache 1.3.12
PHP 4.0.0
CPDF 2.02-r1-2
The code in question is as follows,
<?php
session_start();
$cpdf = cpdf_open(0);
<build pdf things here>
cpdf_finalize($cpdf);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=Results.pdf");
header("Content-Description: PHP Generated PDF" );
cpdf_output_buffer($cpdf);
cpdf_close($cpdf);
?>
Any thoughts, suggestions, WAGs would be appreciated.

Hello,
how can I check the last modified date of a website. I mean not my own site,

Thanx,

my own 2c:
fopen:
fwrite into a file of yours,
when doing a check:
fopen
compare the buffer size to the file size you have saved.
or the whole HTML code as a string.
But, I guess it is very unreliable since there are such things as banner
rotations etc...
Maybe there's another way to do it I never heard of.

Use fsockopen(), send a HEAD request, get back (sometimes*) a Last-Modified
header.
*See RFC 2616 for more info on the inherent limitation of depending on
Last-Modified.

If you are using Apache virtual host, it will set virtual host's document root.

Open your apache's httpd.conf file:
see anything like this on VHost configuration of the site in question?
#### JI Admin Database
<VirtualHost 1.0.0.10>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot D:/JI_admin
ServerName admin
ErrorLog logs/JI_admin-error.log

that

$DOCUMENT_ROOT
should be returning.
I think that is where your problem.

Thanks for the reply,
I'm not using virtual hosts on my local machine but I am on the production
machine. What should DOCUMENT_ROOT return? I though it returns the directory
of the current script. So if I had a site in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/cha/script.php then I would expect DOCUMENT_ROOT to
return /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cha/, is that right?
Is it posible to setup a virtual host on localhost?
Cheers,

Hi all,
I am having my own personal computer running on windows 95. I have C / D /
E / F / G drives with FAT 32 file system with lot of information on it. I
can format one drive out of these.
Can I install Linux on it ? (i.e. format F:\ and load Linux). Later on I
want to load Apache also on it.
Is it feasible ? Any information about this on web ? If I format one drive
and load Linux whether other drive info will get affected ?
manisha
Yes, that's the idea behind having multiple drives ( or partitions ).
If you format F and load Linux on it, then that won't affect any other
partition...

its much more than that however, I have Linux, 98, win2k and NT server on my
box..which has 2 physical hard drives and 5-6 partitions. However I
strongly suggest you read up on this subject of multi-boot. You have to take
into consideration that most operating systems require up to the first 4-8
mg of the hard drive and the boot files for NT OS's require to be on the
first physical hard drive at the first 2mg. Keep in mind also that LILO, the
Linux booting file cannot exist on same partition with any NT OS's. It
appears you only have 95 at this time so it wont be quite as complicated at
this time. You will have to get a boot manager that will handle partitioning
different partition types-NTFS, FAT16, FAT32, LINUX. One that will partition
these without messing up the others that you have already.

I have Pentium II Processor with 64 MB RAM. The drive which I am thinking
of converting into Lihnux (F:) has 2.92 GB hard disk space. Current file
system is FAT 32. I am thinking of loading Red Hat Linux (may be latest
version) and Appache web server by formating that drive.
I know I can have appache on Windows, but as my client's environment is
different and as I have urge to learn Linux I want to install Linux on my
m/c itself.
Whether above mentioned hardware is ok to install Linux ?

Thanks a lot to all of you for your info.
Now I will try to do it.

Although, this is nothing to do with PHP.
You have several options to use Win and Linux
- Multi-boot with separate partitions
- Multi-boot with umsdos (You can install Linux in windows partition with this)
- Virtual machine - use VMWare for example. You can use windows and Linux at
the same time. Slow though.
(VMWare works really well with my W2K box. I don't use it often, but
it's really useful sometimes)
You also can change partition size without deleting contents.
Linux Documentation Project web site has a lot of documents.
http://www.linuxdoc.org/
For further questions, ask in Linux related news or mailing list.

Is it ?
Current my Hard disk space for drive F:\ is 2.92 GB which is just fine for
the time being. Do you mean to say that I can increase from 2.9 GB to let
us say 4GB by taking it from some other drive may be D:\ ?
Can you explain some more ?

Hi all,
Again I am here asking the same question as I got confused because of my
colleague's comment.
I asked my colleague (who is in charge of all network administrator -
setups - hardware configurations etc etc etc)). I asked the same question
that I am having 4 drives, I want one drive to be converted into Linux.
He is saying that if I want to format one drive (F:) out of total 4 drives
and install Linux, then I need to do lot of configurations.
According to him I need to change BIOS set up of windows so that it will
understand 2 boot sections. Currently my window system is recognising only
one boot system and some predefined partitions.
So if I want to remove one partition and change to Linux, I need to
repartition i.e. format again.
That means lot of info which is on other drivers will be wiped off.?????
Is there any remedy for this ? I want my all other drives running properly
whenever I am in Windows and I should be able to use Linux commands when I
am in Linux system.
Can any body comment ?
manisha
Obviously, not all file systems cannot be resized w/o loosing contents.
You can use GNU parted, FIPS, etc to resize partitions w/o loosing contents. GNU
parted supports resizing FAT16, FAT32, ext2 and Linux-swap. You should have
unused spaces to shrunk partition size obviously.
Tools like Norton Ghost is also handy to upgrade/change partition size. I use
Ghost to get larger partition than 4GB for WinNT system drive. It works for me
to get 8GB system drive for WinNT4 Server at least. I use tar for Linux, but
Ghost supports ext2 also. Ghost could also be used to change partition size, if
you have extra HDD/tape drive/etc what ever Ghost supports. They might still
have trial version on Symantec web site.
For further questions, ask in Tool, Hardisk or Linux related news or mailing
list.
Regards,

Hi Manisha,

This isn't the list for that. You need to start here:
http://www.linux.org/dist/index.html
Pick a distribution, visit its site, join their user discussion list,
and ask those questions there.
Or at the very least:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/
Most distributions have their own sites, and I'd be willing to bet
that each of them have whole sections about installation (probably
even the goriest of details). Most even answer questions like "Can I
dual boot Windows and Linux?"
Just _try_ it.

Partitionmagic is the SW you need to do this. It might be a better solution
to buy a cheap Celeron based PC and build your Linux server. Buy 2 nics,
one goes into the server, the other into your current system.
I don't understand why you're having so many partitions. Unless you've got
a good reason for this I would reinstall the lot with less partitions and
install Linux as part of the process.
Anyway.. if you don't have any experience with Linux you're going to see
some problems..

Is there a way to generate a random set of characters ranging from 8 to 12
characters and numbers where it is crucial that the letters and numbers are
truly random because I need to create temporary files for people to download
information.
Any links/suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Randy
Sup,
I made this and have been using it for about 6 months without problem.
mt_rand() is 4 times faster than normal rand(), remember to use mt_srand()
to seed. The 8 in the while controls how long the $password will be...
$count = 0;
mt_srand( (double) microtime() * 1000000);
while( $count < 8 )
{
$randval = mt_rand(48 , 122);
$timeout++;
// currently allows 0-9 and a-z (lowercase), add 65-90 for uppercase
if(($randval > 47 && $randval < 58) || ($randval > 96 && $randval < 123))
{
$password .= chr($randval);
$count++;
}
}
SL.

Also check out the tempnam() and tmpfile() functions, as this is exactly
what they were made for ;)
Recently, I decided to convert my personal homepage to PHP. For
simplicity, I do development on my home Windows 2000 box running Apache 1.3
and PHP 4, then FTP the code to the actual Linux-based web server (also
running Apache/PHP 4).
Since dealing with relative paths and included files in PHP is such a
hassle, I decided to use absolute paths for everything (with the paths set
in variables in my codebase.php so they're easy to change en masse later if
I move my site). The problem is, I'm using a slightly different base
directory structure on my development system than on the actual server. The
URL of my homepage on the actual server is <http://www.paganpaths.org/~cfc/>
(though technically stored in /usr/cfc/public_html/ or something to that
effect), whereas on my local development system it's stored under
<C:\webwork\home\>, which gets me a URL of <http://hotaru/home/>. The domain
doesn't matter since I'm not using it in my paths, so the solution to this
seemed simple enough. I created a directory alias in my httpd.conf:
Alias /~cfc "C:/webwork/home/"
This should allow me to access my local copy of my homepage at
<http://hotaru/~cfc>; however, when I attempt to access it, I get a 500
Internal Server Error. Apache's error log says this about the problem:
"Premature end of script headers: c:/program files/webserver/php4/php.exe".
This leads me to believe that Apache's handling the directory alias, finding
the index.phtml file, and then passing it to PHP, all as it should; but for
some reason, PHP is choking on accessing the file in the aliased
directory...
I don't know why it isn't working, but my best guess is that Apache
doesn't translate the URL before passing it to PHP, so it tells PHP to open
"/~cfc/index.phtml", and since PHP ignores Apache's configuration/access
directives, it doesn't know that "~cfc" = "home" and can't find the file.
This would seem to fit the symptoms. I get an Error 500 when I try to open a
PHP file that I know doesn't exist too, and if I use the non-aliased URL,
everything works fine.
So, my question is this... How can I get the aliased URL to work, without
changing the real name of my local directory? And for that matter, since
Unix servers use aliases for user web directories, am I going to run into
this same problem when I upload it to the actual server? Is there some way
around this?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated; and they'll be appreciated
even more if they're CC'd to me at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, since I check my email
more often than I check this newsgroup ;) Thanks!

You can consider also
<Files *.inc>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
<Files> sections are processed in the order they appear in the configuration
file, after the <Directory> sections and .htaccess files are read, but before
<Location> sections. Note that <Files> can be nested inside <Directory> sections
to restrict the portion of the filesystem they apply to.

This is determined by your "variables_order" directive in your php.ini
file. By default it is set to "EGPCS" which means that variables are
parsed and inserted into the symbol table in the order:
Environment - GET - POST - Cookie - Server
That is, the later ones override the earlier ones. So in your case the
cookie variable would take precedence. The one from the form (the POST
one) would of course still be available in the $HTTP_POST_VARS array.

we're trying to develop an exact replica of the SkyBiz
downline|Matrix system program. But it's getting so
complicated & niether is the logic coming out. we're
in need of help. Anyone familiar with the skybiz
matrix, please help!!
It's a 2 X 2 matrix system where a person can have
only two legs below him - Left & Right = and thus the
chain grows. Each person sponsors 2 people below him.
They can be directly below him or somewhere down the
line. But keeping a count of how many people o one's
right & left is getting impossible logically.
please help!
Cheers,

Actually, this is really easy without using a database.
1. <?
$filename = "/path/to/file";
$filedata = file($filename);
$linesinfile = count($filedata);
?>
2. <?
$startline = 5;
$stopline = 10;
for ($i = $startline; $i < $stopline; $i++ )
{
echo $filedata[$i-1];
}
?>
(Use $i-1 because the first line is actually "0").

I know, it was already answered before me (you),
I just though that an SQL database is a good advice for these who are trying
to do this kind of jobs.
It is obvious that the reason to use this function is to manage a stored
data in files.
then why not a database, if possible?

I didn't see the purpose (I'm tired) - I just answered the q cos
I had a heart attack when I saw an answer of "use a database" for
counting line numbers ;)

you should be starting to program from C++ :-)
Classes are described in many manuals on the web.
Try downloading phplib (phplib.netuse.de) to see then "alive"
phplib is one the most magnificent examples of classes use in PHP.

Subject: [PHP] Newbie question about Classes
Hi,
I have now been 3-4 months writing PHP-codes and read the PHP manual
throughout. But there is one thing I can't figure out properly (I think it's
not covered enough in the manual): Classes!
When and why would I use it?
Is it only to group certain functions or does it have a special function?
Thanks!

A multi dimensional array is a matrix. if $array[1][2][3] was an element of
a multi-dimensional array then it would directly accessible as an element of
$array. It isn't. $array (and $array[n]) only contain arrays.
If $array was a 3-d array then ...
$array[1][2][3] = "fred";
if (in_array("fred", $array)) echo "fred found"; // prints "fred found"

hello, i'm building an online payment form....
the only thing is that i can't rely on the MOD10 CC validation algo...
any one knows any company that provides CC validation (checks if account
exists, and the money is enough to pay the price) ... ?
I only need a company with such validation issue....
All hints would be appriciated.

Just grab the source and compile. This will work on most Unices,
including Linux and Solaris.

Did anybody have the same error?
I have this simple script:
===============
<?
session_start() ;
?>
<FORM METHOD=POST NAME="form1"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="another_script.php">
<SELECT NAME="sel" onChange='hidden_filed.value=this.value<<3">
<OPTION VALUE=1> First option
</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="hidden_field" VALUE=0>
================
on a computer the output is perfect, on the second computer,
there is a strange error, I've ever seen in my life!
the output on the second computer, in the 'select' line, is this:
<SELECT NAME="sel" onChange='hidden_filed.value=this.value< <3">
as you can see, there is a space between the two " < ", and some times
there it show some garbage between those two " < " .
this only disappears when I remove the " session_start " statement!
ANY IDEA, PLEASE?!.. I am loosing many our and cannot figure out
how to fix that!.. I need sessions, I cannot just give it up!
the first computer is a Pentium II, on linux RH 6.1
with apache-1.4.13+modssl-2.7.1-1.3.14 (+opensll-0.9.6) +php-4.0.1pl1
and it's working just fine!
but... the second computer is Pentium III on linux RH 7.0, same
configuration, but with php-4.0.1pl2, (purchased!!!...) and it does
yeld that error.
I tried with the php-4.0.1pl1 (as with the first computer) but curiously...
it does act the same wrong way..
it seems to be something about sessions, but independently of the
php version...
I compiled the apache server with the 'public' UID, 'guest' GUID, and
they are present in my linux user and group list. the session does
actually write any info correctly. (i tried a session_register('blabla') and
it works)...
the error only disappears when I remove the " session_start " statement!
ANY help or idea would be greatly appreciated!
thanx,
Daniel BI
