passthru()'s prototype is actually:
void passthru(string cmd[, int &return)
http://php.net/passthru
Meaning using passthru() with the concatenation operator . will produce
unexpected results, as the product of the passthru call is actually
printed directly out to the page, as is. Nothing is returned. If you
wish to snag the output of an external command into a variable, or
modify it further using another function, consider the backtick operator
(`):
$output = `osascript /Library/WebServer...`;
printf("Current song: %s\n", $output);
If you have trouble finding the backtick ` -- remember, it's not a
single-quote mark, it's a backtick, usually on the ~ key -- system()
will accomplish the same thing in a functional fashion. Or, you can keep
passthru(), and just use it differently:
Current song: <?php passthru("osascript /Library/WebServer..."); ?>
If this doesn't work, check to make sure osascript is printing to
stdout. I'm not sure how osascript works, as I'm not a Mac user, but I'm
assuming this is OS X (from the pathnames) -- therefore, I *imagine*
there's a stdout on OS X.
passthru() should grab whatever goes to stdout. If it still doesn't work
for you, check the page source to see if passthru() drops anything but
it's formatted out (hey, I have to say it). Oh, and make sure Apache can
run osascript. If Apache can't run osascript, that's another problem. (I
would imagine it'd have to be able to access your Applescript file as well.)
Good luck! HTH

I tried adding a ip addresss:

The domain I have christiantoplist.org forwards to

But it still doesn't work
It says: Current Song: and then it's blank

I want to write php script that fill out HTML form online. Any ideas
how to do it?
If you want to fill a form *remotely*, that's a little tougher. You'll
need cooperation from the server-side code on the site you want to fill
the form on. As Matthew noted, the VALUE attribute of an INPUT tag is
what you are seeking to modify.
Perhaps POST variables that PHP parses and sets the VALUE attribute to?
Otherwise, if you *won't* have cooperation from the other server's code,
it becomes a client-side, userspace app, since it'd be a matter of
pretending the user is typing. (Think Mozilla, Gator, et. al.) PHP can
do that, but I don't believe that's a solution for you.

Although I've never encountered this situation before, I'll try.
More information about the platform in question will be necessary, but
I'm going to go ahead and venture a "yes" here. It is safe to assume
that different copies of PHP end up being run when you request something
on 2222 and on 80.
Different copies of PHP don't (?) share session states. A custom session
handler might be necessary for you. (Let me clarify that: PHP attached
to *different servers* shouldn't share session states.)
Questions:
1. What are you running on 2222?
2. What are you running on 80?
3. Is it the same copy of PHP? Same php.ini, same PHP SAPI?
(If Apache for 1 & 2)
4. Same Apache?
5. What's your Listen directive look like, if YES for number 4?
6. Vhosts?
This also may be a security feature, but I've personally never tackled
the problem. Tough to say.
I'll leave my advice at that for now pending further information.

Hello Jed,
Thx for your response.
> 1. What are you running on 2222?
1) FreeBSD with Apache
2) Also Directadmin (hosting control panel)
> 2. What are you running on 80?
1) FreeBSD with Apache
2) A login form into directadmin. I do this because I wanted to skin the
login form but cant skin the login form on directadmin itself. I am not an
owner, just a user of the controlpanel thus giving me limited access.
> 3. Is it the same copy of PHP? Same php.ini, same PHP SAPI?
I really don't know I would have to find out later.
> 4. Same Apache?
How do I find out?
> 5. What's your Listen directive look like, if YES for number 4?
Sorry, don't know what you mean by that.
> 6. Vhosts?
Does that mean virtual hosts? In that case yes

I would sugest Dollibar http://freshmeat.net/projects/dolibarr/
Wich has all the crm, ERP fonctionalities. And hostly up to now i haven't
rellay seen a groupware made in PHP that is really clean (code wise) and easy
to use.
Has gropware there is OpenGroupeware but the api is write-en in objective-c
however there is a PHP front-end :)
http://www.opengroupware.org
At my work we are going to choose this one.

Perl is faster about x percent in general compared to the other one?
Unless you compare the same site written and optimised for the two
languages, written by a developer who is equally skilled in both
languages, hosted on servers of equal performance, with equal traffic,
you can't compare the sites and make a bold assumption like "Perl must
be faster".
When you compare two website's performance, you're not just comparing
code at all... you're comparing traffic, server load, the programmer's
skills, the server set-up, bandwidth, connectivity, etc etc.
Would you compare a Ferrari to a Volkswagon? They're both cars, right?
:)
For what it's worth, PHP5 under FastCGI on a nice server with a good
sysadmin is *incredibly* fast. Shameless plug: TextDrive.com (a
hosting company in the US that just hired me) offers exactly that --
blindingly fast PHP5 shared hosting with the works.

Not quite sure what you mean here. In a <textarea> pressing ENTER/RETURN will
generate an EOL character. If they have a habit of not pressing ENTER/RETURN
when they should then you can run a simple check on the length of a line and
reject and/or ask them to enter again.
In any case if you want to force the user to enter lines separately use a
bunch of <input type="text" ...> instead of <textarea>.
The point here is that doing relatively simple checks early on in the data
entry stage to ensure that you get sane data means you don't have to trawl
through garbage in the data processing stage trying to figure out all the
ways in which a user could have entered incorrect data.

You're telling us what you're *doing*, not what you *want* your code to do. We
need to know what you *want* your code to do before we can suggest
improvements or whatever.
Anyway here's a PCRE to match a single IP address:
(([0-9])|([1-9][0-9])|(1[0-9][0-9])|(2[0-4][0-9])|(25[0-5]))\.(([0-9])|([1-9]
[0-9])|(1[0-9][0-9])|(2[0-4][0-9])|(25[0-5]))\.(([0-9])|([1-9][0-9])|(1[0-9]
[0-9])|(2[0-4][0-9])|(25[0-5]))\.(([0-9])|([1-9][0-9])|(1[0-9][0-9])|(2[0-4]
[0-9])|(25[0-5]))
It will validate an IP address of the form:
(0-255).(0-255).(0-255).(0-255)
No leading zeros allowed.

Instead of doing this bit of code (which I don't understand), I suggest that
you incorporate some simple check for interface into your regex:
(((eth|ppp)\d{1,2})|lo)

Hi
How difficult would it be to write Affiliate software, using PHP,
Dreamweaver & FireBird hosted on Linux(SME)
like
http://www.myreferer.com/content/en/order.shtml
It does not have to be that sophisticated, I would just like to know who
visited my page and where were they directed from.
Also, have you got any sample code for this scenario:
People accessing this URL must get a screen where they can either with a
login and password gain access to other pages, or they can register. When
they click register, they must supply a login name and their e-mail address.
This will then trigger a SP in firebird that will generate a password and
e-mail it back to them. They can now login with this password and must be
able to change their password.
Thx

If that's all you need, why not just check your log files?

Err, there must be loads of examples of those out there. Try starting
on hotscripts.com, probably under "user management" (or similar).
The Firebird requirement will be your biggest issue though.

Hi
Im building a TCP server in PHP 5.0.2 on Windows. It will have to serve a
lot of clients (500+) with low traffic.
During this I have noticed that socket_select seems unable to supervise more
than 64 connections at a time (Not good when I need 500+). It stops with a
message that
"Socket select failed, error code is: 10038, error message is: An operation
was at tempted on something that is not a socket."
These are the outputs of socket_last_error() and
socket_strerror(socket_last_error()).
And now forthe questions:
Does any of you have the same experience?
Is it something to do with Windows? Does this limitation exist on Linux?
Is it just a bug?
Any good suggestions?
Best regards
and thanx in advance
HC
