Hi,
I have a bit of a problem. I am trying to use a negative timestamp in
order to handle a birthdate. However, on my Win2k install, it doesn't
seem to work. I tried it on different PHP versions on different
machines, and I get an error each time i try to convert a datestring
before 1970 to timestamp. On a linux machine it works fine.
Is there a way around this? Or is this just another limitation of
running php on windows.?
Karin

It is a limitation on Windows.

Are there any functions or operators, which will modify bits in a
variable? If so, which? For example, if I were to use C to set bit 4 on
for variable bit_set, I would use 'bit_set |= 4'.

I have a search and replace where the search for consists of 300 words.
Luckily this will only have to be done when a user uploads a file. The
file may contain several hundred words itself. My question is what is
the best way to approach searching for this many words? Should I use
an array and loop through the file for each of the search words? Or is
there a more efficient method?
Thanks,
Ron

Personally, i'd go with preg_replace and/or preg_match_all.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php
They might not be the fastest way, but certainly one of the
easiest for the programmer.

Following the ChainedSelectors example, i've been able to populate fields
popup menu using a table selected from the database.
Now i want to populate more than one fields popup menus.This should enable
me select more than one field from the same table and pass them as variables
to be used in the next script.I've tried to populate different fields from
same table but it doesn't work unless i have each field being populated by
each table i.e one to one relationsip.
Does anyone have any idea on how one can go about populating more than one
fields using one table in JavaScript/Php?

What is it you're wanting to do??? I'm running a World Cup competition
online, at
http://www.arbee.co.uk/worldcup/
I've got a fairly simple db structure behind it, but it does contain the
teams and game information which might be a start.

Hello,
I have been experimenting with Apache2 on Win32, and have noticed something
different when I access pages - it seems like things are being cached
different.
For example, phpmyadmin does not work correctly. Its like I have to always
click the "reload mysql" link...
Stuff like that...
I also have a gallery application (photo gallery), and the setup php when I
run it loads, but when I click the button to go to step 2, its like it just
reloads the page instead of going to the next page... seeming to me like
it has the page cached, so its not going to step 2....
Please if you know what this might be, any help is appriciated!
Thanks!

I built a script that converts a Microsoft Word file to text and removes
common characters. The text will then be stored in a database for searching.
The script below has been behaving a bit odd. It worked this morning
but now all I get back is a blank screen and the text file it writes is
blank. This worked all day yeasterday and this morning but now it
stopped working. the script works fine if you manually save the Word
doc in the text format, but it wont write the text file. I built the
COM code by creating a Macro in Word and then analyzing it in a VB editor.
Can anyone see what the problem might be? It's driving me nuts.
<?php
// Filenames
$wordDoc = "BHresume.doc";
$textDoc = "BHresume.txt";
// Perform Word Doc Conversion
$word=new COM("Word.Application") or die("There was a problem launching
MS Word");
$word->visible = 1 ;
$word->Documents->Add();
// Open Word File
$word->Documents->Open->FileName[$wordDoc]->ConfirmConversions[False]->ReadOnly[False]->
AddToRecentFiles[False]->PasswordDocument[""]->PasswordTemplate[""]->Revert[False]->WritePasswordDocument[""]->WritePasswordTemplate[""]->Format["wdOpenFormatAuto"];
// Convert and save file as type=text
$word->ActiveDocument->SaveAs->FileName[$textDoc]->FileFormat["wdFormatText"]->LockComments[False]->Password[""]->AddToRecentFiles[True]->WritePassword[""]->ReadOnlyRecommended[False]->EmbedTrueTypeFonts[False]->SaveNativePictureFormat[False]->SaveFormsData[False]->SaveAsAOCELetter[False];
$word->Quit();
// Open the text doc
$fp = @fopen($textDoc,"ab+");
$fileText = fread($fp,8048);
fpassthru($fp);
// Array of common words
$commonWords= array("*"," the "," with "," but"," of "," every "," at
"," by "," and "," as "," their "," not", " an "," if "," or "," on ","
I "," in "," had "," on "," all "," a "," my ","
on "," up "," for "," each "," to "," etc "," that "," made ","
up","-",".",",",")","(");
$finalString = $fileText;
// Delete common words
for($i=0;$i<count($commonWords);$i++){
$finalString = str_replace($commonWords[$i]," ", $finalString);
}
// Print final string to screen
echo $finalString;
?>
Thanks for any help!

Well, first off, CTL+ALT+DEL and see if you have any zombie
procs of MSword laying around and kill them. When i was
developing an Excel COM program, the EXCEL.exe would hang
around in memory and screw up the "legit" EXCEL process
(beucase of issues with the COM implementation < 4.2.1)
Lines like this are just asking for trouble:
> $word->Documents->Open->FileName[$wordDoc]->ConfirmConversions
> [False]->ReadOnly[False]->
> AddToRecentFiles[False]->PasswordDocument[""]->PasswordTemplat
> e[""]->Revert[False]->WritePasswordDocument[""]->WritePassword
> Template[""]->Format["wdOpenFormatAuto"];
I know it's a pain, but try splitting that up into one-call-per-line,
and then it'll be a pieced of cake to see where the error is.
*always* check error messages and return status of calls.
and upgrade to the newest version PHP (if not already running it).

You don't have to restart your computer, just Kill the
process.
The Excel COM Object won't print out error messages to
the screen, so if anything bad is happening, you
won't see it.
Check this out the object model and look for ways to get
error message info. from the object:
