Hi,
I am going to develop virtual file management. Thus I want to know
some things.
1. how to determine file size _before_ file uploading or on loading
time and how to avoid error message if file size will be too large.
2. how to read directory content with it's size, modes etc in win32
and linux.
3. in what mode i should make directory for read/write permission
(not execute). Any point to docs?
4. Any other useful points to my project? I don't know all problems
for it.
TIA,

read http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
basically, a variable wil be returned with the size in bytes:
$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfilename']['size'] = ....

directories which store the files should be read/list only; PHP, not the
webclient, is writing the files.

Here is the content of the install.txt include in the php4 distribution.
You have to follows what they say and it works fine.
Apache:
1. Stop the Apache Webserver.
Edit the httpd.conf and put in these lines, modified to your environment:
2. Unzip the Package to c:\php, now move php4ts.dll to the
windows/system(32) directory, overwritte any older file!
# for the apache module
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
#for the cgi binary (you can use that one compiled with force cgi redirect
too)
ScriptAlias /php4/ "C:/php/"
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php4/php.exe"
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
3. Copy the php.ini-dist to your sysroot (directory where you installed
windows), rename it to php.ini, and
edit the php.ini to fit your needs.
4. Restart the Apache server.
Yoann.

I'm trying to connect to a Windows COM object from a
php4 script, using:
$myConn = com_load ("ConnString");
but i can't get it to work :-(
All help appreciated.
Best regards.

Sorry for the late reply but I have had a week's holiday.
<< I'm going to sound like a database freak >>
No. I don't think so. It looks like the best idea to me. Without an
organised approach like a database the whole thing could get very unwieldy if
the number of pictures became large, - and the code maintenance would be no
picnic either.
Which DBMS do you use? A very popular choice for the web seems to be MySQL.
I don't know what proportion of ISPs support this but I do have some minor
reservations about it. They are not serious misgivings because my web
application is not a "mission critical" one, but some of them could be in
different circumstances. No Commit/Rollback, no subQueries, no Stored
Procedures, no built-in referential integrity (ie no Foreign Keys and no
Triggers) Or is my information on MySQL totally out of date?
I believe the justification for some of these omissions is the speed penalty
overhead. Not having used MySQL I cannot comment on this. But the question
which most bothers me is that of referential integrity. Supporters of MySQL
claim that it is not a problem since a well designed application should
properly manage this. But what would prevent database access from /outside/
an application?
On the plus side, from looking at published code examples one big advantage
of MySQL/PHP seems to be the seamless ease with which they work together. I
have seen no ODBC calls, just PHP embedded SQL statements. Does PHP access
MySQL natively, or what?

Being new to all this I really would appreciate that, if you do come across
it.

<< Why do you need javascript? >>
Good question, but I have no satisfactory answer. I was just
modifying "one I made earlier" (the only one) which happened to work
that way, when I came across problems. I have got some good ideas
here and feel a completely fresh start is going to be the best. I
have arrived here straight from Visual Basic and am finding things
a lot different.

After having upgraded my php 4.01 install to a 4.04pl1 a bbs example I've
tried have stopped working. I use PHP4 + Apache + Mysql And it seems like I
cannot get formdata send true the server...
first time I read the php page it shows the list of existing messages in the
bbs, but if I try to add og read any of the messages it just refreshes the
page...
it does send the information in the url but it is not used. could it be a
configuration problem ?!?
