    To follow up with the group, I received an answer via e-mail within a
few minutes with two methods (thanks AB).

(1)
$foo = @$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["foo"];
# Where the @ suppresses the warnings on the call.
if ($foo)
{
}

(2)  The one I ended up using (modified a bit):
if ((isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["foo"]) and ($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["foo"] ==
'value'))
{
}

PHP short circuits the logic so method 2 doesn't throw the error on the
value test.  Or of course you can put the test for the value inside the if
{}.  Also for environment variables you can use getenv() rather than the
array.

Eric,

I am in the beginning of the same process. I do php,
unfortunately our company has just made a large
investment in an ASP/MSSQL based directory. I will be
building a content management system and moving site
from static to database driven
(www.insurancejournal.com). I'd love to share tips on
how to do this most effectively. I have heard that the
most recent build is much more stable as ISAPI module
so that's what I'll be trying - another issue I need
to sort out is how to keep url's search engine
friendly - ie. website.com/news/article_id/123

I will be using the latest php build from this site. I
think that this will probablybe much better configured
than whatever I would come up with.

Later,
Josh

I have a php page that is invoked as method in a form. It happens that (it
seems randomly) I obtain a :
---
CGI Error

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
---

If I try to post it again, then the page probably is displayed ok
(...probably)
I use some session function at the start of this page, but I can't
understand why this page works good in a "ghost"-ed but slower server.
The session parameters seems to be ok, since they work fine on the other
server.

Anyone have some idea?

Thanx, Fabio

Hi,



I need to update an entire table in one database with the values from
another database...  My query reads like this:

 update palmeira.t_colaboradores t, hr.member_status s, hr.member_data d

set t.structure=s.structure,  t.depart_area=s.area  where t.cs_id=d.cs_id
and d.cs_id=125
[Sandeep Murphy] 

in the query, plameira and hr are the 2 diff databases....

any suggestions as to how to make this work??? 

tia,

sands
