hi,
I m doing a database connectivity with MS Access Database
now when i get the recordset with the following code
$rec= odbc_exec($conn,$Qry); //executes without any error
$num_records=odbc_num_rows($rec); //executes without any error
print ($num_records); //prints -1
because it is written in the documentation of this function that it returns -1 with
some drivers, so what should i do.
then i use an alternate method for it
which is
$counter= 0;
while (odbc_fetch_row($rec)) { $counter++; }
print ($counter); //prints the total records
but this alternate way is very time and resource consuming,
any suggestions ???

I read an article in Wired (I think) that said that spammers are
filling out Yahoo info automatically, then when it comes to that, it spits
out the graphic to someone at a computer who looks at the graphic, then
types in the letters, then the spammer's script keeps going. Nasty.

I suggest using GD to generate the images in PHP then output them to a
browser.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php
I use GD 1, as I have had issues loading fonts into GD 2
Good luck
Stephen

Hi
(Win2000, PHP 4.0.6 IIS)
$filename="streets.dat";
if (file_exists($filename))
{
Read From File;
Print To Html;
}
else
{
$f=fopen($filename,"w");
read from database to file;
Print To Html;
fclose($f);
}
But fopen will not create $filename, and i get an error like:
You dont have permission to create file ...
Although the manual says:
'w' - Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the
file and truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist,
attempt to create it.
How to simply create file in php?

Your code works for me on Windows 2000 with IIS and Windows 2000 with Apache.
Could it be file permissions on the server.

Yesterday I decided to switch my GD library from gd.dll to gd2.dll... big
mistake
Now, when I try to create text using imageTTFtext( ), I get the error
message of
Warning: Could not find/open font in
C:\server\scryt_pages\members\interface\buttons\base.php on line 53
I've tried the suggestions I found at PHP beginner, but still no luck. Any
ideas?
Ty
Stephen
Tried code:
imageTTFtext( $Button_Image, $FontSize, 0, $X_Coord, $Y_Coord,
$Colour_Button_Text, "./BERNHC", $Button_Text );
and
imageTTFtext( $Button_Image, $FontSize, 0, $X_Coord, $Y_Coord,
$Colour_Button_Text, "./BERNHC.ttf", $Button_Text );
and
imageTTFtext( $Button_Image, $FontSize, 0, $X_Coord, $Y_Coord,
$Colour_Button_Text, "C:\server\PHP\fonts\BERNHC.ttf", $Button_Text );
The font is located in C:\server\PHP\fonts, and
C:\server\scryt_pages\members\interface\buttons AND ALSO
C:\server\scryt_pages\members\interface
Bit silly really :-\

Check out the:
setHTTPProxy()
function for the 'soapclient' object. Its new, so be sure to download
the latest stuff:
http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap/
I dont know if it supports username and passwords for the proxy server
tho... maybe you should ask the CURL people if they are doing it right.

Hello all, Running PHP on IIS WIN2k. Have a strange situation which
is confusing
the heck out of me. I read a very interesting article about accessing
the Google API via NuSoap
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/GoogleAPI/page1.html . Looked
simple enough, a bit of cut and paste .. at most some tweaking ... A
week later and several conversations with a german developer who doesnt
speak very good english and I am starting to get a tad frustrated.
My problem is (which the nuSoap developer cant seem to understand)
that I am stuck inside a firewall. To send or receive http requests I
need to do so through a proxy server (no control over it). This requires
username/password authentication. If i just want to do a http request
through CURL i would use ...
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_PROXY,"http://proxy.utas.edu.au:8080";);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD,"MYusername,MYpassword");
HOWEVER using the nuSoap implimentation I cannot access the GOOGLE
API
or any other WSDL feed for that matter as it doesnt have a proxy
feature. I tried tweaking the code to add my proxy settings to no avail
... Am I missing something? Is it impossible to do a WSDL request via a
proxy server?
has ANYONE managed to get the google API running from a WIN2K box? cheers
Brendan.
