Either mktime() or strtotime() depending on what you're working from...
The biggest thing you need to consider here is that you're using *
interchangably as a character to look for, and also as a wildcard operator:
.* is a combination; the . means any character and the * means 0 or more
occurrences of it. Therefore a.*a would match azzzzza, but also aa.
Similarly + means match 1 or more occurrences. Another thing to bear in mind
is that * is what's known as hungry, so <.*> will pull out <test><here> from
<test><here> and not just <test> as you might expect.
You're also looking for <*tr*>, so you're looking for things like <<<trrrr>,
the way to get around this is to put the * in square brackets: [*] or escape
it (usually using a backslash). Square brackets means 'any of the characters
in the brackets', so
[aeiou*]* will match a*aaa, aei, uo, but not abc.
any clearer?
I've found that one of the better RE help files was the one that came with
Textpad (go edit->find and click help), but the man pages for grep aren't
bad, either.
cheers,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, IUSR_ has read and write access.
Is there anything else in Active Directory that I should be looking for? My
ISP and I are still both stumped about this one.
Thanks again-

Are you sure you didn't forgot the uncomment this line in PHP.INI ? :
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mailserver.com ; specify here your SMTP server

I agree with you.
I think the first statment alone is enough.

I'm running apache on win98 as a test platform for a site, but whenever
I do includes it says it can't read the file. I know the file is there,
as apache lists it in the director listing.
The exact error I get is
Warning: Failed opening 'main.inc' for inclusion (include_path='..') in
c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\site\index.php on line 45
The syntax I used to call the include is
include("main.inc");
This worked on the REAL server I'm using, so I was wondering why it
won't work locally.
Thanks
William
try include("./main.inc");

THat works. Thanks. I was clueless as to why it wouldn't work. Could you
explain why the ./ is necessary? I'm still a newbie, and I'm just curious so
that I don't repeat the same mistake in other areas.
Thanks

I noticed that is necessary only on Apache...IIS you don't need it. That might have
been why you didn't know if you are using windows and had been developing using IIS
before. To add a new question to this thread:
Has anyone else been able to get includes to work from the top of the web? For some
reason..if I want to move around directories (i'm using windows 2000 and 4.0.5) I have
to do this:
include("../../phpfile");
when I want to do this:
include("/admin/folder/phpfile");
any ideas?

What happens when you move stuff up or down a directory level?
I normally do this:
config.php
----------
define('BASE_DIR',getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/somedir/');
main.php
--------
include('config.php');
include(BASE_DIR.'phpfile.php');
include(BASE_DIR.'someother_dir/phpfile.php');
YMMV,
Ignatius

Hello,
I was interested in producing a link that looked like www.index.htm instead
of www.index.php this would hide the use of dynamic HTML. My goal is to
enhance security. Your insight on this is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
1. This is dependent on your server software. If you configure .htm or
.html files or whatever to execute PHP the way you have .php configured,
then all files ending in .htm or whatnot will be executed the same as .php.
2. I hope you don't expect too many private replies when you put your
return e-mail address for the listserv as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
