I have java 1.4 installed, and I've put it in /usr/local/sun-j2sdk1.4.1
-- that's why I use the ini_set() method. I've compiled and run apps
using this java installation, so I'm pretty sure all is kosher there.
I sincerely believe that the problem lies in my php installation, not in
my java installation, which is why I'm asking whether the debian php4
package in the testing distribution, which is more specifically
PHP/4.1.2 according to X-Powered-By in phpinfo(), has java support
compiled in, whether I need a particular extension library file (.so),
etc.
If there's a reason you believe my setting java.home using ini_set()
shouldn't work, please let me know. From the ini_set docs, I gather I'm
using it appropriately.
Thanks,
monique
Monique,
By default Debian does not come come with a recent JVM, due
to the non-free-ness of Sun's license.
So first thing is to see if you have any Java installed at
all... When you type `java` at a shell it should give you
an error about missing parameters... if you get the following:
bash: java: command not found
then you need to install a Java package for PHP4 to work with.
The most useful Java package for Debian, is blackdown.org's
non-free port of Java, do the following to get it do the
following:
to /etc/apt/sources.list add:
# JDK -- mirrors @ http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/mirrors.html
deb http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.blackdown.org/ja
va-linux/debian
woody non-free
then run:
apt-get update; apt-get install j2sdk1.3
Once you've installed Blackdown's port of Java, your java.home
var should be set (you may have to log-in again or reload your
profile to see it).
good luck,
-Garth

I'd like to play with using java classes from within php, as is
described in http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.java.php ... I'm using
the
apache and php4 packages from the debian testing distribution.
All of the documentation I've found on the web about installing the
java
extension seems to be oriented toward windows, making me think that
maybe I don't need to specify an extension library on linux?
I tried simply using
ini_set ("java.home", "/usr/local/sun-j2sdk1.4.1");
$systemInfo = new Java("java.lang.System");
and got the following:
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: java
That seems fairly straightforward: My php doesn't know java from
adam.
So my questions are: Do I need to get an extension library for this
functionality on linux? If not, does anyone know of a debian
package of
php4 that will give me this capability? I rather like being able to
use
packages wherever possible.
Thanks in advance for any insight!

You need the extension either compiled in _OR_ the library.
<?php phpinfo(); ?> will tell you also, if the extension is loaded. (There
must be a 2 column box saying "java support" and "enabled" in it's head).

since a <script> might also occur inside the body, this would not really work

If *I* were publishing data for others to USE in their own web sites (often
called a web service), I'd make the data available in one of a few ways:
- raw text -- let them format it as they see fit
- CSV a simple CSV file can hold a wealth of information, and it is easy for
the receiver to munch up the CSV into meaningful, formatted data on a web
page. I have one client who supplies me with two 5MB CSV files daily for an
almost complete update of his site contents... easy.
eg:
Poole,125
greenman,35
hv,25
libert,25
loriwinslow,25
PHPnewbie,15
tunitas,15
bob,10
creed,10
malees,10
- XML, or some other form of structured data... even structure (but not
formatted) HTML/XHTML would be great, because people could then format it to
their own taste with style sheets, of which they could optionally download a
default style sheet or "skin" from you, or create their own.
eg
<users>
<name>Poole</name><amount>125</amount>
<name>greenman</name><amount>35</amount>
<name>hv</name><amount>25</amount>
<name>libert</name><amount>25</amount>
...
</users>
or some sort of unformatted HTML table with default classes.
- formatted, branded and "designed" HTML, ready to go. I have a project on
the go at the moment, where it looks like i might provide content for free
to everyone, or at a cost to people who want to pay for me to design the
contnt specifically for them... if they want a green background and blue
text, then that's what the web service provides them each week.
It early in the morning here, so the might be plenty of other options i'm
not thinking of yet :)

A quick fix that won't account for daylight saving differences
unless Sweden uses the same dates as the US...
date("Y-m-j",strtotime(+8 hours));

You have to add (or subtract) 28800 seconds to/from current time and use this
as the 2nd input to date.
echo date("Y-m-j", strtotime("now") + 28800);

Mike,
Here is how I send an HTML e-mail. Say I have a contact form with the values $name,
$email, and $message. The form submits to.... say..... process.php.
<?
// process.php
$message = stripslashes(nl2br($message));
$date = Date("F d, Y h:i a");
$body = "
<p><font color='#990000' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'><strong>Contact Us
Submitted $date</strong></font></p>
<table width='300' border='1' cellspacing='1' cellpadding='3'>
<tr>
<td width='113'><font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Name:</font></td>
<td width='187'><font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>$name</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>E-mail address</font></td>
<td><font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>$email</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'> </font></td>
<td><font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'> </font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Message:</font></td>
<td><font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>$message</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
";
$subject = "Contact Us submission from your website";
$to = "John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" . ", " ; //note the comma
/* To send HTML mail */
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
/* This sets the 'from' field to the Name and E-mail that was just submitted
$headers .= "From: ";
$headers .= $name;
$headers .= " <";
$headers .= $email;
$headers .= ">\r\n";
/* Send it!! */
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
?>
That's it. The key part are the two header lines that set the MIME-Version, and the
Content-type. Other than that it's the same.
Note... I changed all the double-quotes in the HTML code to single quotes. This way I
could use double-quotes around the whole block of HTML, and simply insert the PHP
variables where desired without have to chop apart the $body. (make sense?)
Hope this helps.

A few months ago, I wrote a bit of code to stripslash()
"PATH_TRANSLATED" on a w2k box, because,
php was reporting it with double slashes like C:\\winnt\\some_dir
Today I noticed that the code is broken because PATH_TRANSLATED is now
reported with one slash like C:\winnt\some_dir
Does anyone know when paths contain double slashes on a w2k box, so that
I can anticipate for them??
Thanks for any insight you may provide.

Gerard,
The most likely reason is a php.ini configuration called magic_quotes.
When enabled, PHP will automatically add slashes to single and double
quotes, as well as slashes themselves (to escape them). This is helpful
in some environments to help protect against attacks that can be used to
execute arbitrary database commands. However, this particular setting is
one of the more annoying ones, in my opinion, because it makes it more
difficult to write portable code.
Hopefully this answers your question, and you can just check your
php.ini. If you need to dynamically check the configuration, there is a
function that will give you the setting of magic_quote. A quick
reference in the manual will give it to you.
Oh, also, you cannot disable this per script, because the slashes are
added perior to the data being given to PHP, hence prior to your
script's execution.
Happy hacking.

You've already posted this, and you never answered the questions that
were asked. Thus, your question is every bit as unclear as the previous
time.
Perhaps if you put forth a little effort, we might also.
Just a helpful suggestion,

Ramesh,
Images are not in HTML. Rather, they are only referenced in HTML.
So, if you are reading the file, the references to the images need to
still be valid. Consider this:
<img src="./images/image.png">
If this is in HTML located at http://www.example.org/, then it means (if
the image shows up) there is an image at:
http://www.example.org/images/image.png
If you read this HTML file and place it on your server:
http://www.ramesh.org/
Then you need to have an image here:
http://www.ramesh.org/images/images.png
Hopefully that helps explain it. PHP just gets the HTML for you in this
case. It is your job to make sure the HTML is still valid. It might be
easier for you to use a base tag to make all relative links refer to the
original. For example:
<base href="http://www.example.org/";>
If you include this tag prior to reading the HTML file, relative URLs
will use that as the base, thus the images will still be pulled from the
original server.
Happy hacking.

If I understand correct, you will want something like this:
<?
$var = $_POST["var"];
session_start();
session_register("var");
?>
And now, in all the scripts on your site, when you execute the
session_start() function, $_SESSION["var"] contains the original contents of
$_POST["var"] .

Hello,
I created an UDP socket using $sock=socket_create(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,SOL_UDP)
successfully and then used socket_bind($sock,$address,$port), up to there, no
problems, but when I try to $buff=socket_read($sock,3) it just stays there doing
nothing forever.
What could be the problem?
What is the normal behaviour of socket_read() when the socket is empty?
I write to the socket (address/port) like crazy from the other side of the LAN, but
nothing seems to be happening.
Thanks,
Martin
