Better still download the PDF version of the manual. It's basically the
website in PDF form. Acroread still lets you search it, but u don't
need to be online to do it. That's my bible anyway. :)

Hi,
I have an xml output with tags like <sessionid>123</sessionid>
<user>sands</sands>
I could parse the output using expat to display it the way i want or as a
string but what I need is to store the values separately in different
variables like $id for sessionid, $user for user and so on.. to be
manipulated later...
Any suggestions??
TIa,
sandeep

I'm using Apache 1.3.20 and PHP 4.1.1 on Windows NT 4 to run a website that
users can upload files to.
I am currently using an HTML form with an <INPUT type="FILE" ...> field.
However, for auditing purposes, I need to restrict where users are allowed to
upload FROM as well as TO.
The HTML form offers a browse button that can roam around the entire
filesystem and I can see no way of restricting this.
I have put together a PHP script that enables me to offer a restricted browse
function which then returns the name of the selected file to the calling
program.
My question is can I use PHP to upload the file, without using the HTML form
method?
The PHP manual suggest PUT as an alternative upload method, but I can't see
how to implement it.
The manual has an example PUT request which looks like this:
PUT /path/filename.html HTTP/1.1
But where and how do I run this command, and where does it get the name of the
file I want to upload (assuming /path/filename.html is the target location on
the webserver).
Can anyone enlighten me please? In general I have found the PHP manual
excellent, but I can't seem to follow this section.
Thanks,
Julian

Browsing the filesystem with browse button is true,
but for the client side. You canīt browse server
filesystem using this method. So - why not to use it,
itīs working and is easy and currently working for
you. You should only write some code for access
control and authorization.

AFAIK, the PUT method is not for uploading via form, but rather some
page editors like Netscape Composer and Amaya.
To upload via form, use method POST with encoding type set to
multipart/form-data .
You may find an example here:

I've run across a rather difficult problem to solve. I'm at the point that
I don't care how the solution comes, so long as it works. I need to be able
to upload/copy a file (potentially as large as 1gig) from a user's machine
to this local network. I've exhausted my efforts trying post uploads, and
have decided that is not the path I need to go. Then I thought I might use
the administrative share to copy the file from the local network, but
unfortunately some of these machines are win98 and some are win2k. The
win98 machines do not contain an administrative share, thus making that
solution impossible. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to keep
the code as much PHP as I can, allowing me to insert some data into the SQL
server at a later time. I wouldn't mind a JavaScript/PHP combination if
anyone has any recommendations.
Thanks,
Ryan

The method for moving 1gb is known as FTP.
Seriously, using PHP for that is downright silly.

This error means the MySQL server isn't running.
Try starting the server and try again.

Hello,
I have installed both Apache and PHP on my computer in the following
directories:
d:\program files\apache group\apache
d:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\mydir\yo\php4
I then edited d:\program files\apache group\apache\conf\httpd.conf as per
the instructions listed on:
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/00/44/index4a_page9.html?tw=programming
However, as soon as I tried to access the file http://localhost/phpinfo.php,
I saw a page not found error.
I tested by viewing the other files in the htdocs document root directory
such as http://localhost/index.html.ca and was able to see them okay. So
yes my Apache server is running and I double check on the httpd.conf file's
setting but didn't find anything wrong. Any ideas?
Thanks
