well...but that is using the full path, which obviously would work...by tacking on the
base path on the front. Maybe I'll just start making a practice to do that.
Thanks!

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

Aw, crap.
I didn't event think that might be a problem. Well, at least I know that
the problem isn't limited to Win2K, since you're on NT4. This is the first
time I've had to use sessions on this server, so I don't know if they would
have worked before I applied the patch. Your evidence seems to suggest
pretty strongly that that's the root of the problem, though. I'll take a
look into exactly what that patch did and see if I can find the cause of
this mess.
Many thanks for your post. Now I at least having a starting point for some
meaningful investigation.

Does anybody has an algorithm, which takes 2 different dates (in format
xxxx-xx-xx xx:xx:xx and date1<date2)
and returns the difference as:
"The requested period consists of X years, X months, X weeks, X days, X
hours, X minutes, X seconds"
For example: With date1='2001-08-09 00:00:00' date2='2001-08-10 01:02:03'
this code must return:
"The requested period consists of 0 years, 0 months, 0 weeks, 1 days, 1
hours, 2 minutes, 3 seconds"
Weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds can be calculated easily, but months
and years?
Any suggestions are welcome.
10x in advance.

Hi,
I thought UNC names were supposed to be supported with this version of
PHP??
My web sites are hosted on a UNC share and neither the isapi filter or
the php.exe can use them. If I type 'php.exe \\web sites\default.php'
at the prompt the script returns nothing at all.
Any idea how I can use UNC names with PHP/Windows2k ?
Many thanks,
Paul Smith
Can anyone recommend me to a good site that discusses
PHP COM integration. I've seen a few random articles,
but most are pretty simple. I've tried looking through
the archive of this list, but the archive at lists.php.net
isn't allowing for search at this time.
Thanks for any pointers.

Do you mean DOM ? what the heck is COM?

I am using PHP 4.0.6 + WinNT 4.0 + OmniHTTPd and wanted to use the MCAL
library but noticed that PHP has to be compiled --with-mcal. If I am using
WinNT I should instead set MCAL as an extension in my PHP.INI file right?
But then where can I get the MCAL DLL file?
~ Thanks, Travis
Sorry, man...that's a *nix only library.

Is there any other way then to get the same functionality of MCAL in PHP on
an NT system?

On a standard 2000Pro install, when you add PWS, you can use the personal web manager
to manage the web site.
Unfortunately, PWM is a piece of garbage.
What you want to try is this:
Click start-->run
Start a blank MMC by typing in MMC. Click OK.
When open, click Console --> Add/Remove Snap-In
Make sure the drop-down says Local Console.
Click the Add button.
A list of all installed snap-ins comes up. Scroll through for Internet Information
Services.
Click it once, then click Add.
click Close.
Click Close to close the add snap-in window.
Now you can go to the properties of your web site, the home directory tab,
configuration button to set up PHP. I did this on my own laptop. I have 2000Pro
installed, with PWS installed. I set up PHP on it about 8 hours ago, so I know what
you are having to do.
IF it works for you, when you are done, click Console-->Save As to save the MMC
console as your own IIS management tool.
Hope this helps too.
That should do it
