It has to be in SOME file. Probably in your prepend file or one of the files that it
includes.

I think you didn't read all instructions we gave. One of them was to
remove all spaces and/or newlines BEFORE the first <?php tag in your
file, to save it and try again.
anything before the <?php tag is considered HTML and thus output. Since
headers are always sent before the output is, they will be sent the
moment PHP notices the spaces and/or newlines. So, what happens is:
PHP starts processing
PHP encounters spaces and/or newlines
PHP sends headers to the browser
PHP sends those spaces and/or newlines to the browser
PHP notices the <?php tag, and such swithed to "parsing-mode"
PHP notices session_start(); and thus tries to send a cookie (a cookie
is actually one of the headers)
PHP notices that headers have already been sent! So it gives an error,
because it can't "get them back and send them after the cookie again".

Does db.php starts with:
session_start()
?

A while back I decided I wanted a simple interactive interpreter for PHP.
So I wrote a little PHP script that essentially did a read from stdin,
and ran eval on that. Worked for most situations I was in.
I'm trying to add some more features now, namely recalling a list of commands
using the up and down arrow, and making each line left/right arrow editable.
But I'm not sure exactly how to read the input from the arrow characters.
Could someone tell me how or point me to a good resource on doing this
kind of thing?
Thanks,
Weston

I don't run OSX, so I don't know how easy this is, but it's definately
worth the mention.
OSX has a unix core. I saw a bit on TechTV saying if you install the
developer tools, you can run virtually any *nix app.
See these for more info
http://developer.apple.com/unix/index.html
http://developer.apple.com/unix/toolkits.html
http://fink.sourceforge.net/
I saw some tutorials searching google for "run linux apps on Mac" too.
That said, you could give Quanta Plus or Bluefish a shot, both are great
free linux apps. My personal favorite is Quanta Plus, it contains most
of what you mentioned (even auto-completes your variables)
On the non-free side, Dreamweaver MX has some decent PHP features,
although it's a pricey solution.
<mac stab> You should be use to that though! ;) </mac stab>

I use Drewmweaver's code view as a PHP IDE It allows me to manage my
site / app files as a whole (which dreamweaver does great) and the
built-in IDE (not the wyswyg) has great code hinting and the other
standard features one might look for (syntax colors, line numbers,
etc.)
Since I usually do development as well as design, DW is a great IDE.
The MX and MX 2004 have a real Homesite feel - a great IDE that never
did make it over to the Mac.

When allow_url_fopen is enabled, you can include a remote URL, similar to
what you've shown. What PHP does for you is send an HTTP request to the
remote server, receive the response, and include the content just as if
you included a local file.
It is this request that PHP sends that needs to have the Authorization
header. To my knowledge, there is no way to add your own headers to this
request made on your behalf, although you could certainly hack PHP's
source to allow such a thing.
What you can do is write your own code to make a request. I'll give you a
quick example, but keep in mind that I'm just typing this out in an email,
and it is likely to contain bugs. :-)

$username = 'myuser';
$password = 'mypass';
$host = 'example.org';
$path = '/path/to/script.php';
$authorization = base64_encode("$username:$password);
$http_response = '';
$fp = fsockopen($host, 80);
fputs($fp, "GET $path HTTP/1.1\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Authorization: $authorization\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
fputs($fp, $data);
while (!feof($fp))
{
$http_response .= fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);

Your example cites a URL with the https scheme. To speak SSL, this example
will of course require some enhancements, but hopefully this answers your
question.

hi there
I have a problem with installing PHP on my winXp with apache server using
the installer. I'm missing the sapi directory ("c:/progra~1/php/sapi/") with
in it the php4apache.dll file which apache misses.
The weird thing is that I've succesfully installed php and apache on this
same machine, but now it's not working.
I've copied my httpd.conf and php.ini files from my last (succesfull)
installation.
I have apache 1.3.28 and php 4.3.4 (but the latest version 4.3.8 also
doesn't work)
Please help |:-(
Are your paths the same as they were in your last install? If not, you
need to update the conf files. Especially your modules directory
You might read along the PHP manual install instructions and verify
everythings in the right place. I always prefer the manual install
anyway. I usually place php4apache.dll (and php4ts.dll) in the Apache
root, or Apache/modules directory
If all else fails you could uninstall and try the WAMP bundle.

I get that one also. So far those are the only two.

Hello everyone,
I want to build a music site, all copyrights intact, and I want users to be
able to download mp3 or realplayer files using a one-click link. When they
click on a link they will simply be given a typical download window to save
that music file. How do I go about doing that and how should my file
structure work? What should the link include? Is it possible to just say,
for example, http://somesite.com/music/something.mp3? Also, if I wanted them
to listen to streamed music does PHP have any specialized functions I could
use to achieve that? I just need some direction. Any help would be
appreciated. Thank you.

There shuoldn't be any problem in just writing the link. You could make the
syntax like this:
print "<a href=\"http://domain.com/link/to/your/file.mp3\"; title=\"Name of
your MP3 File\">";
>Also, if I wanted them

Not that i know of, but it is possible to make an audio player in
javascript. You can do a search on Google on that

If you want more control over the files you could have the mp3's in a
private directory, then using PHP to force a download. There are some
other threads about the Content-Type header, which is probably what
you're looking for
Imagine that your file, 3416.mp3 is in /songs. 3416 is the song ID, so
you can grab info such as artist, album and song name from a DB. Below
is download.php, to download 3416.mp3, you should type
download.php?file=3416
<?php
if (!isset($_GET['file']) or !file_exists('songs/' . $_GET['file'] .
'.mp3')) {
die("No file selected");
} else {
$file = $_GET['file'];
}
$db = mysql_connect();
// More DB stuff
$artist = $row['artist']; // The artist name from the DB
$album = $row['album']; // ...
$song = $row['song']; // ...
$filename = $artist . '-' . $album . '-' . $song . '.mp3';
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize('songs/'.$file.'.mp3'));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $filename . '"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
readfile('songs/' . $file . 'mp3');
exit();
?>
Also, if I wanted them
to listen to streamed music does PHP have any specialized functions I could
use to achieve that?
You should take a look at the Ming library and the mp3 stream function
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.swfmovie.streammp3.php). It's a
bit tricky though, but i can't think of anything else.

I'm having a problem figuring out how to deal with foreign characters in
text that was copied from an MS Word document and pasted into a form field.
I'm not how sure this is getting stored in the MySQL database, but, when I
run htmlentities() on this text, each foreign character is converted into 2
other foreign characters that don't at all represent the original.
For example, a lowercase u with an umlat over it (�) is somehow displayed as
an uppercase A with an umlat over it followed by the 1/4 symbol after parsed
by htmlentities(). A lowercase o with an ulmat displays as an uppercase A
with an umlat over it followed by the paragraph symbol. It seems that the
uppercase A w/umlat is a constant, and the next character changes.
The ord() function returns the same number for all of these foreign
characters: 195. So, I'm not sure what's happening with these foreign
characters, and if there's any way to convert them to proper htmlentities
before being displayed in a browser. I thought htmlentities would do this,
actually.
Thanks!
Monty.

Well it seems you have a UTF-8 encoded text after your function. Use
iconv to change it. See http://de3.php.net/manual/en/ref.iconv.php .
try doing this with your array before inserting it into the DB
foreach($insert_array as $key => $var){
$new_arr[$key] = iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", $var);
}
It can be that your array has a different coding than UTF-8 check the
manual for the htmlentities function, but i'm pretty shure that should
solve it.

I replaced this:

and now I am getting exactly what I was trying to get.
This will work fine for networks that provide their own 'REMOTE_ADDR',
but once proxies are in the way, you will see a proxy address rather
than the real machine.
My own connection gives
You are host81-138-11-136.in-addr.btopenworld.com

Hi,
I came across a strange behaviour in array_merge since I installed php5.
I merge three arrays, one of them can be empty. So not an array at all.
In php 4.3.6 that I had before, there was no warning and the two first
arrays were merged. In php5 on the other hand, there is a warning and my
array is empty.
Is this behaviour wanted? Or is this just me having this problem?
I find it pretty ugly, either there is more than a warning, or at least
the first two arrays should be merged and given back.
$array_1 = array('key1'=>'oranges','key2'=>'apples');
$array_2 = array('key3'=>'pears','key4'=>'tomatoes');
$array_3 = null;
$arr_gemerged = array_merge($array_1,$array_2,$array_3);
print_r($arr_gemerged);
Result on php4:
Array ( [key1] => oranges [key2] => apples [key3] => pears [key4] =>
tomatoes )
Result on php5:
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #3 is not an
array in /Library/WebServer/Documents/regis24/admin/test_array_merge.php
on line 7
I would define this behaviour as backwards incompatible. How about you?
