Not really a tutorial as there is a lot to say about that, but this book
provides information on most of what you need to know:

Yes dude, I have been implementing data via mysql using Flash Remoting and
another extensioncalled PHPObject, both use php as a server for executing php
methods which
does the sql queryand returns an array back to flash which is serialized in
very funky.
www.amfphp.org
http://ghostwire.com/go/28
PHPObject is updated regularly, amfphp ran oujt of steam possibly coz of
legal matters withmacromedia the punks, its ok to support highend languages but
when someone
has the balls tocome up with an alternative for PHP all hell breaks loose :|

Hi,
I have developed a full email marketing application (using php, mysql) which
supports tracking technology (i.e. whether the recipient has read the email,
view online, unsubscribe, click on any of the link etc), bounce mail
management, backend engine.
Is it possible to make some $$ if I distribute the application as a
shareware or should I just sell it as an commercial package.
If you have any experience with this, kindly enlighten me.
Thanks,
Jonathan

You have three options.
1. Sell it as a commercial product ($)..and hope people don't build a
free version
2. Give it out..and hope that people come to you for customizations and
enhancements ($)
3. Don't sell it like regular software. Sell it as a service that you
completely control and support..and have your users pay you to utilize
your service. ($$)
..depending on what your goal is with it, those are generally the three
ways you can make money with your app.

Hi guys,
Is there an on-going initiative as far as creating a PHP framework
somewhat the same as .Net's framework implementation? Like for
instance, the System.Data namespace where PHP developer can just create
something like a DataAdapter which can connect to a datastore and fill
a DataSet object? I think that would make our life a little easier?
This post is by not any means a way to start a flame war or something,
I just thought about it and I think it makes sense.

You might want to look at PEAR (http://pear.php.net) in general and
PEAR's DataObject/DataGrid classes in specific.

Tonnes of different initiatives, no one standard which would be great, I
am forced to build alot ofmy own components, because there are so many
different ones i dont know
what to choose. Asthe problem with Java, J2EE is a specification not a
framework therefore
there are millions outthere :|

Hey Jeff,
How are you mate? Was lazying around and saw your email to the list. :)
What exactly do you need help with? Is it the following line?
// Stuck here
$html_menu .= "<li><a href=\"Need to get
value\">$sub_page</a></li>";
}
$html_menu .= '</ul>';
Do you need to get the value of the link and the name of the link? If
so, try this:
===== begin snippet =======
$html_menu .= '<ul id="subnav">';
foreach ($menu_page[$menu_name[1]] as $sub_page => $sub_link)
{
// Stuck here
$html_menu .= "<li><a href=\"$sub_link\">$sub_page</a></li>";
}
$html_menu .= '</ul>';
}
===== end snippet =========
What about using recursive functions? I think it's easier as you can
create unlimited numbers of sub-menus. It's slow though.
Ah Thanks Keat long time no hear/see ...... it works now. :-)
How are you keeping anyway ? You totally ignore us now at phpMelb :-(

Exactly my point. I don't control when M$ depricates their operating
systems. I don't control when my favorite Linux distro upgrades their
glibc. You have to upgrade at some point or be vulnerable to the
security issues that follow.

The point is that old software versions that work on old environment
versions do not need you to upgrade the environment version even the
vendor deprecates the old version. While you think that newer versions
will not have old bugs that probably were not affecting you, chances are
that newer versions have newer bugs that may break your applications,
especially if you upgrade right after those new versions are released.
What I am trying to tell you is that you need to use your brain before
you make an upgrade, eventually leaving a reasonable amount of time
since it was released because most bugs are only discovered when early
adopters break their faces trying the just released versions. In the
case of PHP 5, I do not recommend jumping to it before 1 year after
5.0.0 release. Then your upgrade risk will be much smaller.

Greg's point is that sometimes you *must* upgrade because the "old",
possibly unnoticed bugs create may security vulnerabilities that you
can't live with. If a library your application depends on (and that
library could be PHP) has a security flaw that could allow permission
escalation, for instance, and a patch exists for it, you'd be crazy or
stupid not to perform the upgrade. If the upgrade breaks the
application that depends on it... well, that's why we're coding in PHP,
right? So that we have the freedom to fix these things, instead of
relying on vendors. (Man, I love OSS!)
You *do* make valid points about making needless upgrade -- if no
security vulnerabilities exist, the application works fine, and you
don't need features from the new version, there really is no reason to
upgrade. But when a security vulnerability *does* exist, and it *could*
affect your application, you've got another issue entirely on your
hands. The trick is learning to distinguish between the two.

Well, you could try XP's "Compatibility Mode", I think my girlfriend got
Afterlife to run under XP doing that. She got it to run somehow..haha..
because we just found a copy of Afterlife for like $1 somewhere and she picked
it up.
Or, if you happen to be blessed with VMWare, there's always that. I've used
VMWare to succesfully set up DOS 6.22 and some games that didn't work under
DOSBox and Windows 95 to run some games that Win98 and XP didn't like so much.
So there's always options.. if you have time and/or money :) You might be
able to use Wine or something to run an older version of Windows to get
Afterlife to work as well.
In general, yes.. software gets old and rusty on the new OS's... but if you're
ingenuity is adequate, you can figure out a way to have your cake and eat it
too.
Where there's a will (and a search engine and maybe $200 for VMWare)....
there's an emulation of some kind.

Wrong. Security issues force upgrades. Operating systems being
depricated forces upgrades.

Some versions of Redhat install a package of Apache2 without
either apxs or apxs2, presumably to keep you from installing
unsupported versions of (for example) PHP.

Remove all '@'. Put in error checking and make use of mysql_error(), see

This whole stripslashes() business may not be needed. In general you should
only use it if magic_quotes_runtime is enabled in php.ini.
Also the correct syntax is:
$record['Game_ID'] = stripslashes($record['Game_ID']);
And if you find that you really do need to use stripslashes() because
magic_quotes_runtime is enabled then use this instead:
foreach ($record as $key => $val) {
$record[$key] = stripslashes($record[$val];
}
> echo $record[Game_Esrb_Rating];

If you can be certain that $Game_Esrb_Rating is within 0-5 (ie you have
validated your data properly before inserting into the database) then you can
simply do
$Esrb_Rate_Pic = "bar_rating_star_{$Game_Esrb_Rating}.gif";
> my problem is with $Esrb_Rate_Pic, i can't put its value to the array

That's because it should be:
$row['Esrb_Rate_Pic'] = $Esrb_Rate_Pic;

Hi Louie,
Excellent example! i wish more users would take the time to provide such
clear examples.
The strlen() exists for you :)
ie.
<?php
$string = "function yes good";
$display = strlen($string);
echo $display;

strlen()

strlen is not accurate unless its a raw string, meaning just alpha chars, or
numbers..
otherwise you should run trim, strip_tags and the likes first.

Ciao Tomas,
I'm not sure if I followed your question completely but do you mean to
test a variable or an array element and unset it if it matches a certain
type?
If so, then maybe:
http://it.php.net/is_int
is_bool(), is_float(), is_numeric(), is_string(), is_array(), and
is_object()
will be of help?

I need to store chunks of output into files. I can get the chunk output by
using ob_get_contents(), but after calling ob_start() the output is only
buffered and not sent till flushing. The delay from echoing to flushing is
exactly what I want to avoid. I want to echo the output imediatly and not
just on flushing, but still be able to buffer the chunk and get the output
into variable.
I hope it's clearer now..
thanks,
Lorderon.

If you can't get want you want by manipulating the ob_*() functions then try
to structure your program so that all output is the result of explicit
echo/print. Then it's just a simple matter to store them into a string before
you output it.

Hello.
I'm having a problem with fsockopen and was wondering has anyone ever
noticed a case where it will work from machine1 (dev machine) to machine2.
But when the was placed onto machine2 it wouldn't work connecting to it's
own ip address;
when connecting via telnet it returns:
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN]
serverip IMAP4rev1 2003.339-cpanel at Wed, 15 Dec 2004
19:33:27 +0000 (GMT)
so I don't think it's the firewall. the error it returns is "No such file
or directory". So it seems that when it connects (which it does without
failing), the file seems to be deleted, as the file the variable refers to
doesn't exist on the fs either.
if(($s = fsockopen($id["sockname"], 0, $errno, $errstr)) === FALSE)
$id["sockname"] is in the format /tmp/filename with the filename changing
based on a random value and there are no files with that format in /tmp
it always returns false for some reason on this server.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, all,
I am testing how to post form-data to a host using the following code
(test.php):
<?php
function PostToHost($host, $path, $name, $value) { // Test of posting
form-data
$fp = fsockopen($host,80);
fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-Type: multipart/form-data\n");
fputs($fp, "content-disposition: form-data; name=$name\n");
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\n\n");
fputs($fp, "$value\n");
$res = "";
while(!feof($fp)) {
$res .= fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
return $res;
}
Check your function carefully. Where are you using the $name of the value?
Nowhere! Therefore the receiving script cannot identify the value as x.
Try: fputs($fp, "$name=$value\n");
