As Bruce mentioned in another letter: security could potential be broken
by bad scripting on the server - you need to set up a policy about
what and what's not should be allowed. For example, submitting files
to the server, might induce a security problem, since people with less
moral might upload a "home made" script as a file, and then execute
that script on your server to explore further security issues.

server is pickky on addresses :P
Hi there,
You could always try using mysql_error() to get a better error description.
Try this:
<?php
$db = mysql_connect("nik", "", "");
if (!$db) {
echo "Cannot connect";
exit;
}
$selectdb = mysql_select_db("guestbook");
if (!$selectdb) {
$error = mysql_error();
echo "MySQL Error: $error";
}
?>
Hope this helps

Hello.
I still can't manage to test locally the pages in my notebook, without using
the htdocs directory. As i told you, i managed to install the all the stuff
correctly, made my first test with a php script in the htdocs Apache
instalation folder, but when i tried to put that new directory path in the
httpd.conf file i couldn't see the php script on the designated folder. I
know that in the other case i had to access via http://localhost/test.php
path. How do i test a page that is, let's say, in the c:\website\ folder?
(after i configured its path in httpd.conf file, of course)
i know that i should put something like this in the httpd.conf file
<Directory "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\work">
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
#Next line is optional (for viewing source)
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</Directory>
but after that, what path i put in the browser?
Thanks in advance,
Tiago

You could create a VirtualHost using the VirtualHost directive in the
hhtpd.conf. It could look like this:
<Directory C:/WINDOWS/Desktop/work>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:122345>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot C:/WINDOWS/Desktop/work
ServerName dummy-host.example.com
</VirtualHost>
now u can access the direcotry via: http://localhost:12345

Hi all,
how can I replace the n ; with only one
Mot1;;Mot2;;;;;;;;;;;;;Mot3;;;;;;Mot4;;;;;;;Mot5;;;;Mot6
==>
Mot1;Mot2;Mot3;Mot4;Mot5;Mot6
So that I can explode it in an array.
Thanks for your help
Horst

... why not explode it then unset all the empty items?

try
$str = "Mot1;;Mot2;;;;;;;;;;;;;Mot3;;;;;;Mot4;;;;;;;Mot5;;;;Mot6";
$str = str_replace(";", "_;_", $str);
$str = str_replace("__;_", "", $str);

I added the underscore artificially in order to make the string become
Mot1_;__;_Mot2_;__;__;__;__;__;__;__;__;__;_Mot3_;__;__;_andsoon;;;Mot4;;;;;;;Mot5;;;;Mot6
so ONLY the first(s) ";" begin with just ONE underscore
the other begins with 2 underscores, so you can recognize them
and strip them away.
the correct version would be
$str = "Mot1;;Mot2;;;;;;;;;;;;;Mot3;;;;;;Mot4;;;;;;;Mot5;;;;Mot6";
$str = str_replace(";", "_;_", $str);
$str = str_replace("__;_", "", $str);
$str = str_replace("_;", ";", $str);
The string is:
Mot1;;Mot2;;;;;;;;;;;;;Mot3;;;;;;Mot4;;;;;;;Mot5;;;;Mot6
then becomes
$str = str_replace(";", "_;_", $str);
Mot1_;__;_Mot2_;__;__;__;__;__;__;__;__;__;_Mot3_;__;__;_andsoon;;;Mot4;;;;;;;Mot5;;;;Mot6
then becomes
$str = str_replace("__;_", "", $str);
Mot1_;Mot2_;Mot3_;Mot4_;Mot5_;Mot6
then becomes
$str = str_replace("_;", ";", $str);
Mot1;Mot2;Mot3;Mot4;Mot5;Mot6
It's horrible but it works... ( yet I didn't test it )
Bye

I am interested in serving up my own domain from my home computer
running the latest release of Apache on Windows 2000. I have a domain
name already registered. Does anyone know where I can find instructions
on how to set up my domain name to point at my server?
Thanks,
ROn

You might try one of the many DNS newsgroups such as
microsoft.public.windowsnt.dns for this question.
Some basic info: (This is very a very simplified response. You should check
out newsgroups dedicated to this complex subject)
You need to have a static IP address. Your registrar (such as www.netsol.com
will need that address and will at the top level point DNS services for your
registered name to your home computer DNS IP. You need to be running BIND or
similar DNS utility on your DNS server.
If you don't have a static IP address you can use one of many free services
to map your name to your dynamically assigned IP. These services typically
also provide DNS for static IPs. Services that come to mind are
www.dns2go.com or www.dyndns.org.

I thought I had seen some functions for creating zip files with PHP. I can't
find what I'm looking for to specifically create .zip files that are
decompressable by, say, winZip.
Anyone have experience creating .zip files with PHP? If so, could you point
me to the name of the function for doing this?
I found ZLib, but this doesn't seem to do what I want.
Much appreciated and TIA!
