I must say that I'm new at this php world.
There are some web sites that when you enter a page, a pop-up windows
appears requesting a login and password.
How can I make a form in php (login page) that searches for the login and
password of the page that is requested?
I really don't know where the file containing the login or password is
stored, but I suppose theres is a rule where to be hold up.
Thank you,
Rui Monteiro

Rui,
There are a hundred ways of doing this, popup windows are often simple
client side javascript routines, but most often, serious passwording
involves the use of databases. So get yourself a copy of mySQL and start
by familiarlising yourself with that and PHPs unrivalled set of db
connection and query gizzmos. Many if not most of your projects are going
to need database interaction in any case. Once you have a handle on that,
passwording will be a relatively trivial problem to solve. In the meantime,
check some javascript sites for some basic popup code. Also, while you are
learning the ropes, keep uppermost and clear in your mind the difference
between what happens client side (with stuff like javascript being executed
by the browser) and SERVER side with PHP, a continuing source of confusion
with newcomers - good luck.

On my Windows XP System, I only ran WinMySQLAdmin once. Now whenever my PC
loads, MySQL comes online with it. I suggest you try closing WinMySQLAdmin,
restarting, then seeing if you can access the database

Unfortunately, I already tried this. I know that once you run
WinMySQLAdmin, it puts itself in the startup folder/systray. However, I
remember that in one of those PHP distros for windows (I forget which one),
that if you load up Apache, it was able to connect to MySQL and PHP without
loading the WinMySQLAdmin (i.e. it was not visible in the systray). The
reason I ask is, I don't want my localhost running on startup. I want to be
able to press one key to fire up the AMP and to also close it down (to
conserve system resources). Make sense?
Thank you anyway!

Hello,
When I installed MySQL for the first time, he began
automatically when the windows began. However, a
beautiful day, when I was exploring the paste
c:\mysql\bin, I found the file winmysqladmin.exe. I
executed it to see what was. Cursed hour. Of this
moment in before, whenever the windows is begun this
tool is also inciated automatically. I already tried
of all the ways but I don't get to turn off her.
I believe to be this his problem, also.
If you, or other friend, he knows as turning off it,
tell me, please.
Therefore, this tool, winmysqladmin.exe, is not
necessary so that the service mysql is begun
automatically in the windows.
If it doesn't go this the problem, I am sorry,
therefore I might not have understood correctly.

Make yourself a simple batch script:
amp.bat:
@echo off
start c:\path\to\apache\apache.exe
c:\path\to\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --console
echo Press ^C to stop stuff
pause>NUL
c:\path\to\apache\apache.exe -k stop
or something (I'm guessing on the mysqld option). The start command may be
particularly of service here. Open up a command prompt, type in 'start /?'
to see all it can do (start /wait can be a handy option...)
The above batch script is totally untested and may need a fair amount of
tweaking, but it just might do what you want.

Rob -- I recently set up PHP on a standalone computer running Windows XP
Professional and IIS and I'd be happy to help. If you want to try two
things, please let me know how you get on..
First, you may go through the Add or Remove Programs Control Panel,
uninstall PHP, and start from scratch. Try and install from the "PHP 4.2.3
installer" available at http://www.php.net/downloads.php and NOT from the
larger "PHP 4.2.3 zip package". The PHP 4.2.3 installer should configure
IIS for you.
Second, just to make sure IIS is running, open up a web browser and check
http://127.0.0.1/ -- that will try and access whatever web server is running
on your own machine.
Good luck!,

Hello everybody!
I am new to PHP. I have several C and C++ programs that run as cgi(s).
Currently, I am just using a form on a web page to call the cgi(s). I am
running PHP on a Windows 2000 server with IIS. Can you call/invoke an exe
program from a PHP script? If so, could you please show an example.
Thanks for your help!

I am sorry. I forgot to add that the CGI uses the get method to receive
data.
For example "my_cgi.exe?=1000"
The system("my_cgi.exe") call worked. But I still need to pass data to the
exe. Any suggestions?
Thanks again!

Open it using the fopen command - but do it as an HTTP open to the same
server your PHP is on.
Then you can pass the get string along with the open request ... the Apache
system (or whatever your using) should then execute the CGI with the get ...
and you get read the results using fpassthru or fread.
We use this technique to generate a kind of 3 teir business application
model - where we use the PHP to open HTTP connections to JSP on another
server to get them to do the bulk of the work. Works quite nicely (providing
you don't have to battle with over-zealous network routers that cut you off
after a 5 minute connection) - but that's my problem and we're dealing with
it.
Make any sense?
Michael.

to give an example ... just cos I'm nice like that:
$file1=fopen("http://myserver/cgi.exe?=1000","r";);
fpassthru($file1);
will get your webserver to run the cgi ... and then will simply output the
result back to the user.
if you need to - you could even add some authentication in there and pass it
in the URL ... user:password@myserver etc ...

Hello all,
I am having a little problem with return types from a COM object. Basically
(code follows) I get a collection back from the object and I can not figure
out a way to iterate through this collection. Posted is a snippet of test
code that I hope one of you can help me with.
<?php
echo "Starting\n";
$system = new COM("ADSystemInfo") or die("failed to get system info");
$usr = new COM("WinNT://$system->DomainDNSName/USERID,user") or
die("failed on usr");
$groups = $usr->Groups() or die("fail");
//Groups should be a collection of objects that I can iterate through, but
for
//of me I can't figure out how.
//iteration through group should be here.
?>
If someone could point me to some relevent documentation about this It
would be great.
Thanks,
Eric

Hello,
how can I make a page open in Word instead of the browser?
If I just write:
header( "Content-type: application/msword" );
won't change anything, the page opens in explorer.
The file is generated on the fly,
so there is no real file to open, just the output from the webserver.
As far as I know, Word can open html pages as well as documents.
The following button opens word if the user clicks on it.
Test
<INPUT type="button" value="Open Word"
onclick="OpenWord()">
The problem is: how to pass to word the output of the php code?
Thanks for any idea
