Which machine? If you meran the client machine then you are looking at the
wrong technology - PHP is server side only.

At the risk of sounding trite, have you tried the manual?

everything will be running on my desktop, available to the internal LAN
only, therefore the server-side nature of things won't be a problem.
> At the risk of sounding trite, have you tried the manual?
problem with that is i've got no idea where to start looking in the manual.
i've managed to find specific functions that will accomplish a few key
things. apart from that tho, i'm flying completely blind. not looking for a
handout or anything, its more a case of wanting to know if someone else has
had something similar come up and found a particular section of the
documentation / function to be useful ... :D

IMHO you are using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. If you are running
everything on your desktop, why not just write a quick Perl script that will
do what you want? You could even use VB (runs off quickly to wash his
hands) to do this sort of thing for you, much more simply and with a more
windows-like interface. (Although Perl would be best for the pattern
matching you mentioned, if a little unwieldy to start.) By using PHP you
are introducing a whole new set of problems and complexities that you will
need to master.

Is this your first attempt at programming? I don't mean to be rude, but
questions like "scan until you find this particular pattern of characters,
then take everything before that and move it into *this* variable" appear to
show that you do not understand how to make a for loop and put an if
condition in it. If this is that case, then I recommend doing a search for
a tutorial and going through that before you even begin your project -
practice on something smaller that you will be able to complete.
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP should have a few articles to get you
started.
If however, you do know how to program, then I really don't see why you
can't find the relevant sections in the manual...
regards,
Mikey

Darren,
As others have said, PHP is not really the right tool for client side work
even if the client machine is also the server. Having said that, the
general style of task you are trying to achieve is frequently tackled by the
use of Recursive functions - functions that call themselves from "within"
themselves. This technique is not by any means limited to PHP, most
languages can do it. In pseudocode it might look a bit like this
function brain_explode ($directoryname)
do{
get a filename and size and type (from path $directoryname)
if (the file type is of type directory) {
brain_explode; // call "myself" again before I have finished THIS
iteration
} else {
echo the filename and size
}
} until there are no more files to list
end_of_function.
"until there are no more files to list" might in your instance be "until the
sought after pattern is found"
I dubbed this function brain_explode, plagiarised from Dash`s earlier mail,
because recursive functions, if let loose on really deep tree like
structures of any type (directories, websites, relational databases, linked
lists - whatever) can consume large amounts of memory. Every time they
recurse (call themselves) a totally new environment and set of variables is
created for another instance of the function to run in while the parent
function (and IT`S parents/grandparents) are still running (of course). So
a tree structure 5 levels deep will potentially trigger 5 instances of the
function running at the same time. If large arrays are involved (such as
SQL result sets) your brain could explode.
Hope this helps

Hi,
I have a Mysql command that when run in PHP does not work and yet when executed
directly in MySQL works fine. The query is:
$query = "UPDATE zone SET current_socket = '' WHERE current_socket LIKE 'R%'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
Anyone have any idea why this wont work in PHP?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi there,
I'm currently developing web sites in both Windows and Linux. The
problem is that I always got an error when I'm trying to run websites
that were developt on Windows in the Linux machine, the thing is about
case sensitivity. Can anyone tell me how to make PHP case sensitive when
I'm developing under Windows? That's also include the file name.
Thanks,
Hansen

Steppin out on a limb here, but I believe PHP just uses the underlying File
System calls. If they are case-sensitive then PHP will. If not, then no.

Apache,
If you have IIS installed, then you have to make sure it is either not
running, or that IIS and Apache are listening on different ports. Both
webservers assume that they should listen on port 80 which is the default
for http web servers.
In IIS, you can change the port using the appropriate Service and
Application panel in the Computer Management tool. I suggest changing the
port to something like 81. Remember to restart the server so that IIS uses
the new port.
For Apache, modify the line that reads "port 80" in the main configuration
portion of the apache/conf/httpd.conf file. Remember to restart the Apache
server so that it uses the new port. You can do so in the Services control
panel or by typing:
net stop apache
net start apache
from a command line.
My Free Advice:
(1) If you want to run Apache, then uninstall IIS. It is not necessary to do
so, as long as they are on differing ports, but as each requires
administration (especially security!) it requires twice the work on your
part.
(2) Turn IIS off while you are using Apache. You can do so in the
appropriate services panel.
(3) If my two suggestions are not an option, then change IIS's port to
something else, perhaps 81. This would make Apache the default webserver on
your machine. (ie. requests to http://yourmachine/ would be served by Apache
while requests to http://yourmachine:81/ would be served by IIS.
Hope it helps.

Hi,
I realise that sockets is still 'experimental' but any help will be much appreciated.
I am developing a queue system to send commands across from a server to a client using
sockets. Problem is that the I keep getting a 'connection reset by peer' error after
the first command is sent. The server script itself is in a loop which I believe
should maintain the socket connection. I am using socket_write() to send the data
across the socket, and I am wondering if I should be using socket_send()? Does anyone
have any ideas or experience of doing this?
My PHP version is 4.2.3. My server software is running on Windows and client software
on Linux although eventually both will be on Linux.
Thanks.
Gareth
