Hi all
I've just had to revert to Ora (as opposed to OCI) functions for a
backward site and I'm having a problem: -
I'm doing the following
1) ora_parse and ora_exec on a SELECT statement
2) ora_fetch_into on the cursor from (1)
What seems to happen is that when it encounters any null values in the
table, the fetch returns the previous good value from that column
instead.
Anyone else seen this or (preferably) know a solution? The same doesn't
appear to happen using OCI_Fetch on my own server.
Cheers
Tom

Today boss comes in and says, "Seen pcmag's story about php? says it is

http://www.zdnet.com/products/stories/reviews/0,4161,2711724,00.html
What's the scoop on Larry Seltzer anyway. You here, Larry? His review is
rather 1-sided, negative. Not good for free software's encroachment into
the corporate zone. Of course the points he raises are all true and widely
known. He mentions only one strength.
I don't think Larry has actually been in the trenches doing real work on the
web. Either that or he is/was paid to do it with Micro$oft ASP or Allaire's
Cold Fusion. Maybe he is on the payroll of one of these? It's a
possibility that should be investigated.
Thanks for nothing, Larry Seltzer.

I read it too -- just one more reason to keep my mission critical stuff on
Linux . . . and just toy with the Win/PHP combo for a while. I love PHP,
but I still use CF too. It's like using a hammer to install a screw . ..
it gets the job done, but I like to use the best tool for the job.
-- Bradley Miller
What a crock! I've been using PHP on Win2K for a year tying to MySQL with
great success in a production environment. I run 13 portals and several
other web applications from PHP on Linux and Win2K and the code has been
completely portable with a few small modifications. I agree, I doubt he's
ever developed any real apps with PHP. Maybe he'd change his tune.
We're running a DNA fingerprint library containing thousands of samples and
tying into the processing database for the analysis real-time from PHP,
MySQL, Win2K in a production environment. It runs perfect! I think he needs
to do a little more RESEARCH before making irrational and judgemental
statements!!!! Larry soak your head!
My two cents,

LOL...
I think his article is fine. PC-MAG caters to mostly windows users. And
honestly, there are issues in php that haven't matured to 5 * rating. I
think the developers are making leaps and bounds toward a solid windows
product. There are many compilicatons that will cause the average PC-MAG
many headaches.
PHP is the best language on the market, IMO, but I'm a developer, not a
PC-MAG subscriber.
PC-MAG lost my patronage a long time ago because of technically weak
articles, such as this, perhaps they will loose you partrons as well.

Thanks for the response, Phil. I have tried both CGI and ISAPI to no
avail. php.exe -i returns no errors, as OmniHTTPd (running on the same
machine) serves up PHP fine. I'm thinking there's something odd with
how and what keys need to be added to the registry. I have a Win2000
server to play with, maybe I'll have better luck.
Peace,
Vern DeHaven

That is the version I am running also. I have the 4.0.6-dev from
Sourceforge. I'll try that and an earlier version and see what happens.

I believe you can do so using a .htaccess on Apache. This comes from the
Apache-manual:
*** Redirect Now Usable in .htaccess Files ***
The Redirect directive can now be used in .htaccess files when the FileInfo
directive has been set on. This allows users to redirect parts of their
directories without requiring CGI scripts.
And from another part of the manual:
Example:
Redirect /service http://foo2.bar.com/service
Greetings,

Well, you can tell apache to filter html through php by adding the .html
extension to the directive suchas:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
If you serve a lot of .html, this will probably slow your server down
because all .html files will be filtered through php
You can set index.php as your directory index, so directory urls point to a
index.php page instead of index.html
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>
Now http://yourserver.com/ automatically points to
http://yourserver.com/index.php
I believe both options may be set through .htaccess files, but I have not
studied that method of configuration.

Try $dirname = "c:\\temp";
I need to use dos-style backslashes on my Windows machine for all file
system-related functions.
I find this code helps quite a bit for looping through directories for
whatever reason:
$dir_name = '\\stuff\\folder';
$dir_handle = opendir($dir_name);
while (($curr_file = readdir($dir_handle)) !== false) {
if ($curr_file != '.' && $curr_file != '..') {
if (is_dir($actual_dir.'\\'.$curr_file)) {
// do stuff for a directory
// for example, $subfolders[] = $curr_file;
}
else {
// do stuff for a file
// for example, $files[] = $curr_file;
}
}
}

Hello,
Newbie needs help. I get the following error when trying to execute a
script on my Windows 2000 machine running IIS
cgi error:
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
That's it. Can someone help me out?
Thanks
Deb
This usually happens to me when I type in a page that doesn't exist but has
the .php ending to it. Check the URL.
I still haven't figured out why though. I hosed my server about 4 weeks
ago, that has been happening ever since, but it didn't used to happen.

I know what you are saying it is a bit odd.
The problem is that
<a href=\"$HTTP_HOST$PHP_SELF?id=$id&act=v\">$id</a>
is being called within a function and the $HTTP_HOST, etc. seem to be set to
null within the function.
Thanks,
Chris Boothe

I've experienced this - i think its a 'feature' of Netscape 4.7x which
doesn't seem to exist with Netscape 6 or IE4+. Ensure that you are using
globals.
I think its because IE inserts a 'current path/file' into URLS if only
"?asdadsa" exists as an URL.
