Thanks David for to read my msg and for reply it.

I try to follow your code below but I have any result.

The script can executed but I have any result. Word pgm do not start.

It is possible that I have same configuration bad?

It is possible that the word.exe do not execute from script because  I have not
permission to exec in system root pgm? intead when I exec pgm from promt I am
Administrator!

Ciao Franco.

 From a performance wise point of view... what is preferable:

a) placing pictures in blob/text fields in binary...
b) placing the picture name/directory in a varchar field and the picture 
as a file in the refered directory...

What would you choose and why?

Thanx and cheers...

FWIW...
I would always choose storing the URL to the image in the database over
storing the binary image in a text/blob field....
I can't back up my choice with hard evidence - just a gut feeling that an
injudicious 'select * from blobtable' would probably cripple the server
performance wise
Has anyone done any tests? I'd be interested to see the results and be
proven wrong if necessary!
Cheers
Rich

Hi,

new to PHP and already problems with simple stuff. 
Created a simple html/php-form with a couple of inputfields like:
<form action="<? echo $PHP_SELF;?>" method="post">
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="<?php echo $lastname;?>  

and
I expected to get back the variables in the simple answerpart: 
<?php
echo "your lastname is <br>$lastname<br>";
......
?>

but get back nothing but the raw answer text.
Code should be o.k. Perhaps some missing  ini -entries? or  browser-problem (MSIE5.00) 
?
Working with  Apache 1.3.26 on  W2k.

Anyone a clue?

thx in advance ,

B.

Looks confusing or at least incomplete.
If you have <FORM> to start where is </FORM> to end it ?
Send the complete text(s) and I will take a peek

Assuming v4.2.x of PHP

Is register_globals set to On or Off? If set to Off (default) then you need
to use $_POST['lastname'] instead of $lastname, and $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
instead of $PHP_SELF

Cheers
Rich

I have an application that needs to perform some large processes, moving
data as well as generating some rather large output files.  This process
might take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete and "MUST" be completed.  It
is only run by 1 administrator every and not a general user.

1)Is there anything I should do to adjust this script to optimize/ensure it
doesn't time out before finished?

2)Will a long process like this keep the general users from using the
system?

Thanks,
william

The set_time_limit() function can be used to stop your script from
timing out, without having to change your php.ini file and give all
scripts a huge time limit.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php

As for performance of other users... Probably depends on what is making
the script take so long. Without knowing what it does, or seeing the
code, it's kinda hard to say what you can do to optimize it...

HTH,

Richy
