Is there a way to limit the amount of decimal places a floating point
equation will calculate out to? I have an equation that I get -1.#IND
as the value of the equation sometimes. Does anyone know what this
means? There are no errors in the formula that is being equated.
Please help me out.

Think of a class as a car:
The car as a whole is one "object", while it is made up of several smaller
components that serve various "functions". You can also store different
things in the trunk of the car that will be useful later (these would be the
class variables).
Now lets think of it in programming sense:
PHP allows for object-oriented programming through their class/object
interfaces. All they really do is serve as a place to dump functions and
variables that are made to work with one another directly, and in many cases
to prevent non-related functions and processes from accessing their data
directly (although this is one of the best things about Object-Oriented
Programing, PHP hasn't entirely implemented it yet).
A simple class:
class car {
var $color;
var $doors;
var $year;
var $model;
var $fuel;
function car() {
$doors = "4";
$year = "2001";
$model = "PHP Class Car";
}
function addFuel($gallons) {
$this->fuel += $gallons;
}
var paintCar($newcolor) {
$this->color = $newcolor;
}
}
The class encapsulates all this information. To use this stuff you need to
create a variable of type car:
$myCar = new car;
Doing this automatically calls the "constructor" function if one is present.
The constructor is a function with the same name as the class (this rule
varies a bit depending on your version of PHP; read the manual for details).
In the constructor, certain variables are given default values and certain
functions can be called if needed.
After that you can access variable data using $myCar->[variable name].
Functions are called the same way: $myCar->myFunction($myArgs);
Those are the basics. There's a great deal more to learn about OOP. If you
really want to learn about OOP, get a book on C, C++ or Java. These are
probably the three best implementations of OOP (and it really originated in
its current form with C++).

Is is possible to set the connection object to point to a database on
another server? I'm using SQLserver and IIS and would like to point the
connection object to the SQL server. SQL server is on one computer and IIS
is on another.

Yep. That's part of the mssql_connect(); syntax.
$conn = mssql_connect("ComputerName", "Account", "Password");
The name is generally the name of your other box (or IP address, if it's
static), account is the sql account you're using to connect and password,
is, um, the password.
More info:

Hi Aaron,
You sound like an ASP convert to PHP. The answer is yes.
You might like the adodb database library that works like ADO at

It depends on the current security set-up over the network and available
network protocols (named pipes, TCP/IP, etc, etc). But yes, it should be
possible.

Forgive my ignorance but doesn't ODBC do this for you, pretty much hassle

Hi
You must use a PHP build newer than 2001-07-03 to access files on a network
share on Windows. The last offical release is PHP 4.06 which was built on
June 23, you'll need a more recent developer version - maybe you can try
www.php4win.com.
Also be sure to give the appropriate permissions on the share to the
anonymous user in IIS. Usually this has to be a valid network user. And you
should also check 'check that file exists' in the script mapping panel where
you map .php files to php.exe/php4isapi.dll.

That works! Downloaded 4.0.8 and then I could view and execute PHP files
over the network. Fantactic.
BUT!
I use include() to pull in a connect.php foile to connect to the database,
and it has a bunch of function in it too. Now, if the include() statement
calls a file in it's current directory, all is well, but when grabbing it
from a different directory, it fails every time (and this used to work
locally, and does work on the web server)
Warning: Failed opening '../php_inc/connect.php' for inclusion
(include_path='')
So, include("../inc/xyz.php") will fail with a error like above, but
include("file.php") works! Is there a way around this without having to
push a site to a single directory or copy the include files to every
directory?

further to this, any reference in the code to a pathname not in the same
directory would produce similar errors. Oddly enough, I switched to Apache
(v1.3.20) and all the paths worked fine. ASP won;t work now, but that's
hardly something to care about!
Solution = PHP v4.0.8 on Apache

Hi, I recently had an admin install PHP 4.0.6 on a Windows 2000 Server.
The server is running Microsoft Site Server. Forgive my ignorance of
Windows...I created an info.php page that displayed itself properly. I
went to use the mssql extension - I uncommented it in the php.ini file.
It threw up errors that it couldn't find the dll. I figured the path was
wrong and did a search for php_mssql.dll on the server. Nothing found.
In fact, a search for "php" only brings up a few items. No dll's except
php4ts.dll. What happened? During installation, the admin told me a
message saying an ocx was missing popped up. I see in the archives that
that isn't a problem really though. Any ideas? Please CC me as I'm not
on the WIN list. Thanks,
Joe
It looks like that your admin has installed the basic version of php without
extensions. What does the phpinfo say?

Hi Joe,
I recently had a similar problem. All the dlls that I neded were
available in the full windows zip package from php.net's downloads
section. I used Dependency Walker
( http://www.dependencywalker.com/ - Thanks again Philippe) to determine
which dlls I needed to have as often the dll referenced in the ini file
won't load even after you have installed it due to some missing dlls
that it depends on.
In the end I set my extensions directory in the php.ini file to
c:\winnt\system32 and copied all the necessary dlls there. This worked
like a charm for me.

Hi,
I have maintained a calendar myself using PHP. I wonder if there is any way
that can let my own calendar synchronized with the calendar in outlook2000.
That is, if I add any event to my PHP calendar, then, I can add this to my
outlook2000 as well, and vice versa.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards,
Jingzhao

anyone else having trouble running this with php but no trouble with a
command line. Also i can get back the command line usage information but
when i try to make a change it says permission denied. Iuser is set for full
