It is not "like a". it IS unique - each manufacture of network cards have
there own prefix number, and then the manufacture is responsible to ensure
that each network adapter has it own MAC (a.k.a. ARP address).
To know the ARP address of your own network card type 'ipconfig /all' in
command shell (applies for NT). You will then find the physical address of
the network card (IP address is referred to as the logical address).
In an unix environment you can uses '/usr/sbin/arp -a' to find out the ARP
address of nearby computers.

I don't remember what information that was included in the Ethernet package,
but I would guess you might find the ARP address there as well.

So what do you do if you have 10 users from a the very same Unix host then?
They will all have the same ARP address, and you wont be able to distinguish
between them...

use ping, or study how ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) works. ICMP
is part of the TCP/IP protocol family, and you can find information about it
the RFC archives.

Your MAC address on your NIC is unique, but a problem arises because the MAC
address is Ethernet (the same collision domain) and the internet routes IP,
which is a layer above Ethernet. The majority of the internet routes IP
over ATM, a much quicker alternative to Ethernet. You see, Ethernet, ATM,
Token Ring, X.25, are all delivery mechanisms/protocols that transport
higher level cargo.
In short, MAC addresses are unique, but you will never be able to discover
foreign MAC's (outside your ethernet) because ARP and RARP travel across
your local ethernet (yes, arp can and is proxied, but is NOT routed beyond
the limits of your ethernet because it is ethernet specific).
Hope this helps....with that said, you could use it if the client gave it to
you directly, but that would be a generally bad thing to do behind people's
back (read about Windows Media Player IDs tracking people--a little
javascript and you have their unique id if they haven't disabled it; at
which point, you get a new number every time).

At first:
I run win 98 on my standalone computer.
I installed Apache 1.3.22 and PHP 4.1.0, edit the files php.ini and
httpd.conf and put them at the right place. I doublechecked the files.
When typing "localhost\index.html.de" the computer wants to connect to
internet. It is possible to open the file "C:\apache\htdocs\index.html.de".
I tryed to change my IP to 127.0.0.1 but got an error massage.
I changed to 192.168.1.2 but no better result.
When trying to open php-files the computer trys to download something I
cannot read because the download-window opens and closes many times very
fast until I press esc. When the browser opens a php-file he shows nothing.
I hope to get help of anyone of you because I worked several days on it and
have no further idea how to solve the problem.
Thank You

Hi,
I am running the PHP triad on a win2k for quite sometime now without having
any problems..
All of a sudden my PHP scripts refused to work.. further it appears there is
some problem with my apache itself.. I tried doing a net start and net stop
apache a few times and it does start and stop but when I do a simple
http://localhost nothing happens.. rather keep getting a Page Cannot be
displayed error...
I checked the error logs and a portion of which reads as the following:

Eeek! Looks more like your server is suffering a NIMDA virus attack to me,
though why this should specifically affect your PHP setup I don't know.

Hi,
PHP's ISAPI error handling is still not thread safe. If your code has no
errors PHP will run fine. However if there are bugs in your PHP
script, they are not handled properly and eventually your process
will crash in ISAPI after repeated calls to the error-prone script.

Hi there. When you say "bugs", what do you mean? When I have bugs in my
code, it doesn't run, period. But if you mean "warnings" ? which will
let your code run but there are some handling errors? Just trying to
find out your terminology...

Hi Folks,
I'm looking for a parser in PHP that would turn a search expression (like
google, altavista, ...) into an SQL WHERE statement, or at least an
expression parser in PHP. Any idea?
Our intention is to implement such a search functionality in a PHP app on a
MySQL database.
Thanks for any help/pointers,
Peter

Hey there Peter,
I think Microsoft comes as a part of SQL server a COM object where you send
English syntax and the application will return a SQL query. I think it's
called English Query tool or something like that. I don't know if there is
something similar for MySQL.
Sorry,
-Flint

Thanks, Flint.
I'm afraid MySQL does not have this feature :-(. OTOH what I'm looking for
is simpler than that.
E.g. let's turn
[apple pear -cherry]
into
[(FLD LIKE '%apple%') AND (FLD LIKE '%pear%') AND NOT (FLD LIKE '%cherry%')]
Operators:
(space or +) => AND
# => OR
- => NOT
( ) => ( )
It is actually not too complicated, but I wanted to use some pre-created
general parser instead of rolling our own stuff.
Thanks, Peter

Hi all,
Guess I was a bit hasty in jumping the gun... a shortwhile bak i had posted
here regarding a problem of php scripts stopping to run all of a sudden..
The Problem i am facing is that I cannot afford to stop and start apache
once booted.. When I do a reboot, everything runs fine but If i even happen
to stop and restart apache, poof everything stops to work.. Apache does
start but no localhost and no php scripts work..Strange...
anyone has an idea of whats happening?? and Nope, am not infected with any
kind of virus.. and nothing very suspect in the error logs..
TIA,
Sands

Hello everyone,
Over the past few months I've slowly worked on implementing ISAPI and NSAPI
modules for FastCGI. I've got everything done and working now in probably
what I would call a late alpha or early beta release, though I haven't
versioned it at this time.
I wrote these modules to provide a super stable way to run PHP on Windows,
without having to resort to CGI. For those who don't know much about
FastCGI...using the FastCGI module for PHP, there are no threading issues
since any one executable will only handle one request at a time, but you
gain the performance increase of having persistent executables in memory.
This allows for persistent database connections, etc. Since PHP is also run
out-of-process, there is no way PHP can crash a web server (unless there is
a bug in my modules :). In my own tests using MS Web Stress Application, I
got performance improvements ranging from 4x to 8x the speed of CGI. The
downside to FastCGI is that it will require more memory than a multithreaded
sapi module.
Ultimately, I don't think FastCGI can achieve the same performance as and
built in web server module (ISAPI, etc.), but it is a good alternative,
especially if you use modules that crash PHP under ISAPI, and is much more
suited to production systems than CGI.
While this should be perfectly usable with something other than PHP, I have
not tested anything but PHP with it.
You will need phpfcgi.exe also, which I am not sure if that is distributed
in the binary distributions on php.net. If not, I'll make one available
this weekend (if someone doesn't beat me to it).
I'll probably be combining this source code with the fastcgi libraries at
fastcgi.com in the next month or so. There is still work to be done on this
implementation, some stuff is not yet supported (such as authentication),
and the process manager is a bit kludgy but works. A port to unix will
hopefully happen eventualy. I also implemented a small version of the SAPI
layer so that server modules can be added easily.
You can download at:

Shane Caraveo

I would like to know if it's possible to make any combination of tricks to
use the BCC header in the mail function. I've got win 2k, apache and php
4.05.
If anyone can help me...

Personally, I have tried many ways to get it to work. In an earlier post, I
mentioned that the only way I was able to get mail to work at all was
removing the bcc and cc headers from my windows php scripts. If a solution
does exist, I would be interested in it as well....
