Actually the manual is a bit off. In order to instantiate a COM object you
need to do:
$object = new COM("adodb.recordset");
Then you should be able to call the corresponding methods and properties:
$object->property = $sumvar;
or what have you.
You might check out http://php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php as the examples are
quite useful for starting out.

You need to use mod_php:
uncomment the line on your httpd.conf that refers to LoadModule
php4_module; on my setup is
'LoadModule php4_module modules/ApacheModulePHP4.dll'
then add the following lines to your httpd.conf inside the <IfModule
mod_mime.c> so as to register .php files with the module:
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
I think that you may have to copy php4dllts.dll to your apache/modules
directory.
After restarting apache, test that it's working with <? phpinfo() ?>
If this fails, you'll have to check http://www.php4win.de/ or somewhere else
for a more detailed explanation...
HTH,
Fernando Madruga

I have placed my answers beneath your questions. The answers to all are YES
except the module vs. executable. How do I control that? In Apache the PHP
file that is called is php.exe.

Ok, I've managed to get pretty far stuck using MySQL 3.22 and PHP 4.0b2
for a project I'm working on, however I was hoping someone could help me
with a problem that's probably really simple to fix, just can't get my
head around it right now.
I need to pull 25 items out of a database randomly with no repeats. Since
I'm using MySQL 3.22 I can't use 'ORDER BY RAND()' and PHP4.0b2 doesn't
support the 'shuffle()' function (which apparently doesn't work too well
anyways.)
What I've got so far is:
for($i = 1; $i < 26; $i++) {
$rArray[$i] = rand(1,count(range(1,25)));
}
however, that causes repeats. So the bottom line is I need an array with
25 values (1 to 25) sorted randomly without repeats, and only using PHP
4.0b2 and earlier functions.
Thanks in advance,
Robin Bolton

Oops, I just realized that range() doesn't even work in PHP 4.0b2. Ack!

Perhaps try creating 25 uniq random numbers which correspond to the row
numbers, with upper limit tied to the number of rows.

I am very new to php, but i tried to install it and i followed the
directions i think... But everytime i try to view a .php document in IE it
prompts me to download the file instead of viewing it in the browser. And
when I do download the file and run it, it opens it up in a "Command Prompt"
and runs a bunch of html syntax really fast, I am thinking that is my php
configuration that i am supposed to see in my browser. Is there an extension
problem or something? .php extensions are set to run the /php/php.exe file
but I cant figure anything out. I am running apache on windows 2000.
It seems that your web server doesn't recognize .php extension. Read the
installation notes (of php) for your web server. It will help you solve the
problem.

Can PHP deal with variables that are not initialized? It is kicking out an
error when it runs into something that is not defined yet.
mysql_select_db("mydb",$db);
if ($id) { <=========Not initialized and PHP
kicks an error?
// query the DB
Thanks!
Dwight
What exactly is the error message? I know this sounds stupid, but are you
sure it isn't just a warning? By default, PHP will output all warnings and
errors to standard output (e.g. the browser).

You may use the function isset.
Try this code:
if (!isset($id)) { // variable not set
}

Hello,
I've been seeing quite a few e-mails about the mail() function not
working...well mine worked fine until today i believe, but it looks like it
has to do with the php ini setting, althoug Ive changed my ini, it still
didnt work, so heres a workaround I found on php.net that works great. In
the script your working on right before the mail function, put the following
variables
ini_set("SMTP", "your.smtp.server");
(i used localhost, thats where my server is)
ini_set("sendmail_from", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
(i used postmaster@localhost)
now my script works great, and hopefully everyone else's will

Hi
What I would like to do is save a news
item as a html or text file. Then place it into
a MySQL database. Afterwards I would like
to display the fist paragraph of each news
posting on a site in a summary format.
If the user would like to see more all
he has to do is click on the corresponding
link and it will take him to the full story.
Now I know how to upload files and download
full files from the database. I also
know how to strip the first paragraph of an
HTML file. But how to put them
together?
Anybody got any pointers?
I have php4 and Apache running on Windows 2000, and Im not able to get the
mail-function to work. The mailsystem is on an other PC, and so I added
SMTP=<mailservers IP-address> in the php.ini file. But still I get "Failed
to connect" when I run mail().
I have heard that there can be a problem if the mailserver is separated from
the webserver and you have a firewall?
Do I have to do anything in the mailsystem? Or maybe in httpd.conf ??
I'v also tryed to add:
ini_set("SMTP", "<ip-address>");
ini_set("sendmail_from", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
in the script, but still I get: "Failed to Connect" :-(
Please enlighten me!
Vegard.
Hi Michael,
Also, when I run the page, it give me a parse error in line 22, that is:
while ( list ( $key, $val ) = each ( $HTTP_GET_VARS ) )
Any idea?
Here's the complete page
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

{

if( $HTTP_GET_VARS )
{
reset ( $HTTP_GET_VARS );
while ( list ( $key, $val ) = each ( $HTTP_GET_VARS ) )
{
echo "$key => $val<br>\n";
if ( "array" == GetType( $val ) )
{
while ( list ( $key_child, $val_child ) = each
$HTTP_GET_VARS ) )
{
echo "|--> $key => $val<br>\n";
}
}
}
}
