hi,
when im using <xsl:output encoding="ISO-8859-1"> i get
Sablotron error on line 1: unknown encoding 'ISO-8859-1' in .... on line ...
but i think iso-8859-1, utf-8, etc. support must be build in. in addition,
when i try to include an external xsl with <xsl:include href="..." /> or a
xml file with "document()", no matter what encoding the target-file has, i
get the following error:
Sablotron error on line 1: unknown encoding '' in .... on line ...
yes, the position where the unknown encoding has to appear is empty, he says
he does not know an unknown encoding ... how can i use the including
functions, and how can i use iso-8859-1 as output encoding (the only
workarround would be to convert the output encoding from utf-8 to iso-8859-1
with iconv, but this isnt the way i thought a xml-parser has to work ...)

Subject: [PHP-WIN] passthru(), system() and exec() - help please
Hi everyone, I'm running Win98/Apache/PHP 4.1.1/MySQL.
Everything so far has been really smooth and I have had no problems at all.
The function passthru() however is really killing me. I can't get it to work
nor system() og exec().
So now I just wanted to know if anyone running the same combo as me has
gotten this/these function(s) to work?
Please let me know asap if you know how to make this work, I really need it.
Thanks...

Gladly :)
I've tried almost everything sone it's not quotes or full paths that is the
problem.
<?
function topdf($filename, $options = "") {
header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
flush();
passthru("htmldoc -t pdf14 --quiet --jpeg size A4 --webpage $options
\'$filename\'");
}
$option = "";
$file = "C:\Program Files\Apache\htdocs\jetas_login.html";
todpf($file, $option);
?>
It seems that not even the header is getting send. I get a blank html page
from this and I wanted a pdf document from the htmldoc application. I have
tested it from the command line and it does work. Also I have tested that my
headers work by making a simple redirect script.
The problem is that not passthru nor system nor exec works on my Win98
mashine. I use Win98/Apache/PHP 4.1.1/MySQL. Everything works fine but these
3 funcions doesn't.

Hi,
Anyone any ideas how I can get this simple piece of code to work!?
$output=shell_exec("pgp.exe -sta -u test test.txt");
echo $output;
pgp.exe is in the folder where the script runs. It has all the right
permissions. Safe mode is off for testing.
If I change the pgp command to something like 'dir', I get a response.
I've tried various combinations of 'cmd.exe /c pgp' etc., but havn't had
any luck.
I don't know if this is a pgp thing, or a PHP thing!

Hi All,
These probably sound like really trivial and stupid questions to you but I
am a newcomer in this field. I have literally started looking at PHP this
weekend as I have been given a project in work to do and PHP seemed like the
best option. I have some previous programming experince so not a complete
novice at this type of thing.
I have been looking through beginner's tutorials on sites and invested in a
couple of books, but I am having problems. I have come to realise that there
are two different ways of doing PHP. You can embed it into you html file and
save it as html or write the code and save it as .php file. I have copied
expamples letter by letter and cannot get anything to work. Not sure why but
I am pretty sure it's something stupid I have missed. I have tried creating
html files with the PHP embedded into them and also saving the code ad .php
files. When I try and open them in my IE browser window I get nothing.
Anyone any ideas what I may be missing. I am getting rather frustrated with
it now.

First, you can only use PHP in php files (.php, .php3, .phtml), HTML files are not
parsed by the server at all and browsers don't recognise php tags.
Second, you need to be running a web-server program with PHP so the language
can be parsed and the output dynamically created to give you your custom HTML
page.
These are just primary pointers. If you've done all this, we could use some more
details.

=it is said that there is no such thing as a stupid question - only stupid answers.
Sometimes the newer members
of the list stretch my belief in this - but not in this case!

It sounds as if you are opening the .htm[l] or .php file in your browser. Remember
that PHP requires server-side
processing, so a page must be called from a web server (which is in turn interfacing
to PHP). Can you set up
your own web server, or a virtual server somewhere?
Let us know if that's not 'it'!

You are correct.
Despite indications to the contrary, it is not difficult to get IIS to serve PHP.
RTFM: Chapter 2. Installation
In particular:
General Installation Considerations
Installation on Windows systems
Servers-CGI/Commandline
and
Servers-IIS/PWS
Read carefully, keep your wits about you, and take it one step at a time! My advice is
to work through the text
and initially to disregard the user-annotations - there is a lot of confusion between
the different requirements
of various combinations of versions of PHP and versions of IIS (and versions of
Windows!).
I have been using Apache on NT, but last weekend sat down to put PHP on a Win2000 box.
It was quite
straightforward, and works quite happily.
Regards,
=dn
PS if you really get in a bind, you can call me on my Orange cell phone (London) and
I'll sit in front of my
machine and try to talk you through it.

According to the ANSI-C specifications of fopen() it returns a NULL pointer
to the file pointer if an error occurs while opening the file. It seams
like, according to the problem some people has with it, that the php parser
does not translate this null pointer, but just forwards it?
A suggestion to the guys involved in the php development team:
If it is like the case above, maybe the dev. team should consider to change
this null pointer into a zero value before returning the value to the
application programmer?
