This is probably a problem with IIS.
Are you using persistant connections?
I used to get the same error messages in my PHP/Oracle 8/IIS combination
after PHP scripts terminated using exit() and not having freed all the
Oracle handles and resources. These messages then also appeared on
scripts without coding errors.
I ended up using Apache on W2K and turning of persistant connections.
cheers,
Florian

The Heineken Uncertainty Principle: You can never be sure how many beers
you had last night.
Actually, this is probably has something to do with the way Nuke is
allocating memory on a threaded server.
Threaded support is fairly new to PHP. If the module does not carefully
observe memory allocations, Constants seem to be the first thing to get
hosed.

That's a very strange way to put things... I think that
person who stated that actually need to explain what
(s)he meant with that.
>How do they calculate the bandwidth?
Bandwidth is a measurement of how much information (theoretical)
that could be put through a communication channel. It has the
dimension <information bits>/<time units>.
A communication channel can be something physical, like a
copper or fiber cable or a little more abstract physical
things like a transmission wave (electromagnetic waves,
a.k.a. radio waves).
But the bandwidth could also be referring to an abstract
communication channel in a physical communication channel.
This is done by dividing the physical channel into several
subchannels, these subchannels will then have there own
bandwidth. But the sum of the subchannels bandwidth can
never exceed the total bandwidth of the physical channel.
Hence bandwidth is the measurement of how much information
you maximal can send through a communication channel of
any sort. Just because the bandwidth could be measured
to be X with a certain communication channel does NOT
mean that you will have a TRANSMISSION rate of X.
Normally you will suffer with the transmission rate,
because of things like overhead information (like
information that belongs to the transmission protocol
and error correction performed by the transmission
protocol).
If you reach a transmission rate of about 90% of the
bandwidth, then you should be happy. BUT this is not
entirely true: some transmission protocol can compress
data, and then you will have a VIRTUAL transmission rate
that actually can exceed the bandwidth of the channel!!
But the PHYSICAL transmission rate of the compressed
data can NEVER exceed the bandwidth of the channel.
Well, anyhow we have to relate this to your question too.
You question was: 'How can they calculate this?'
As you understand from my explanation, they CAN NOT
calculate a bandwidth like that, since it violates the
definition of what a bandwidth actually are. But they
can, on the other hand, calculate a sort of "transmission
rate" on the channel.
And this might simply be calculated as:
<number hits> * <number of bits to perform a hit> / <time>

Anders - which are sorry for this off topic message
Oh, oh, oh =8)
I really think they mean a Traffic of 10GB !!
Hope this helps.

Let see. 10Giga Bits... How many Giga Bits Ethernet
work does we have, how many ISP does supply with
GigaBit communication on a WAN (Wide Area Network)
scale?
Not too many I guess...
Of course they might have 10GB connection to there
switch, but then after that... how high is the
communication seed then? What speed do they have to
their next door domain and/or do they got multiple
separate communications lines to the next domain(s)
to achieve this speed?
I believe one should be very critical to those kind
of numbers stated... and still the person who first
stated the numbers need to explain what they meant
with it...
Best regards,
Anders - still off topic...
Sorry, but I still mean a TRAFFIC of 10GB/month,
not a Bandwidth of 10GB/sec !!

Hello,
What they actually mean is the amount of data transfered to your visitors,
lets say your index page is 5kb in size, if 1000 people visit just that 1
page, then youve use 5000kb of your bandwidth. im not sure of the conversion
rate, maybe someone else on this site knows it, but anyhow, you shouldnt
worry, thats plenty of bandwidth for a small to medium site.

I get a strange error when i use php with Apache on NT4
If i run phpinfo() i get this error:
"Could not attach to the application
win NT error code = 87"
This happens only if php.ini is in win nt folder.
Else i got no errors, but php doesn't load all the extensions.
PHP run as module.
Hi There!
I've got the following problem with nearly every downloaded Script, running
on my server with Xitami Webserver v2.4d7
PHP Version 4.0.4pl1(win32)
and
MySql 3.23.36(win32)
Everytime I use the scripts errors appeared like the following one:
Warning: Undefined variable: cmd in c:/www-root/gbook/gbook.php on line 38
I know how to fix the other errors appearing in the usage of [...] instead
of ['...'], but the variable declaration must be anywhere in the scripts,
or?
I and my server can't find them
Edit your php.ini. Find "error_reporting" and set it to something that will
ignore notices. I like mine set as follows:
error_reporting= E_ALL & ~(E_NOTICE | E_USER_NOTICE) ;
Technically it is better to just have it at E_ALL for better coding and some
might argue better security. You don't _have_ to declare all variables,
though, and I think most people don't just looking at all of the scripts and
full blown applications on the net.

Hi, just intalled PHP4 on Win2K IIS 5.0, and simple PHP forms are taking
*WAY* too long to process, often exceeding the default 30 second
timeout. Am I missing something? Doesn't seem like these little forms
should be causing so much trouble...
Are you connecting to the server remotely or are you connecting to the
local machine ? NN has some issues if you attempt the later.

My experience is that this behavior is not caused by PHP, but by the
combination of the following conditions:
- submitting any forms (even pure HTML)
- the browser is running on the same machine as the server
- the browser is Netscape
If this is the case with you, just use Internet Explorer or call the
script from another machine

I would like to know if with php we can manage exchange server (create
account...) by using the imap librairies and if yes
how we can doing it ?
I can connect to my server (pop or imap), i can check mail but it's all.
Tahnks and sor for my english.
Hello,
I am trying to make a PHP script to index my site and insert into a
MySQL DB the .htm files path, its Title (from the HTML tags
<Title></Title>), its Description (from the meta tag <meta
name="description" content="..."> ) and its Keywords (from the meta
tag <meta name="keywords" content="..."> ).
Well, I adapted this function to get the Title and it works great!!:
/*
* Given a raw html document (as string), return its title.
* This function may need to be modified if your web pages use
automatically
* generated titles.
*/
function getTitle(&$doc)
{
if (eregi("<title>(.*)</title>", $doc, $titlematch))
$title = trim(eregi_replace("[[:space:]]+", " " ,
$titlematch[1]));
else
$title = "";
if ($title == "")
$title = "Sem Título";
return $title;
}
I then tried to do something similar to get the Description:
function getDescription(&$doc)
{
if (eregi('<meta name="description" content="(.*)">', $doc,
$descr))
$descricao = trim(eregi_replace("[[:space:]]+", " " ,
$descr[1]));
else
$descricao = "";
if ($descricao == "")
$descricao = "Sem Descrição";
return $descricao;
}
This doesn't work as intended... It returns the whole page starting
after content=" and doesn't end at the end of the string (">).
The funny thing is that if I add a space on the end of the string like
this (" >) in both the PHP code and in the HTML file (<meta
name="description" conten="test with a space" >), the function returns
only the string of the description as intended...
The same thing happens with the Keywords:
function getKeywords(&$doc)
{
if (eregi('<meta name="keywords" content="(.*)">', $doc,
$mykeys))
$keywords = trim(eregi_replace("[[:space:]]+", " " ,
$mykeys[1]));
else
$keywords = "";
if ($keywords == "")
$keywords = "Sem Keywords";
return $keywords;
}
But this time I nedded two (2) spaces to make the function work!!!
(<meta name="description" conten="test with 2 spaces" >), If I used
one or no space it returned the whole page... with 2 spaces the
function works...
I concluded that the regex pattern (.*) doesn't stops looking on the
"> and needs a space between them (" >). But why the second time it
nedded 2 spaces!?
I don't want to have to change all the HTM files from my site and add
a space to the Descritpion Meta Tag and 2 spaces to the Keywords
Meta... Is there a way to say to the (.*) to end the search at the ">
?
Thanks for your attention
Marco Ascensao
Maybe you should look out for
if (eregi('<meta name="description" content="(.*)">', $doc,
to:
if (eregi("<meta name='description' content='(.*)'>",
$doc,...)||eregi("<meta name=\"description\" content=\"(.*)\">", $doc,...))
like the first:
if (eregi("<title>(.*)</title>", $doc, $titlematch))
but I don't know, just maybe :)

Hi,
just in case you are desperate: there is an ODBC driver for PosgreSQL under Windows,
so perhaps php_odbc.dll would do (?!)
