Hello everyone,
I recently installed php5 onto my windows IIS. Previous I had php running on
Apache. I coded a page (testing purposes) but now I get errors. the page can
be viewed on a remote server (without the errors) http://seabird.jmtech.ca
Locally I receive these errors:
Undefined index: section in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Seabird-local\includes\submenu.php on line 3
if($_GET['section']=='') etc.
It used to be that I could use a section == ''
is it new to php5 that I cannot? and I also used to be able to use
$_GET[section] and now I have to use $_GET['section']
did I overlook anything configuring my php.ini or is this due to my new
enviroment?
Thank you for helping

This is due to different setting in error reporting, now you have also
E_NOTICE turned on.
if($_GET['section']=='')
should be coded as:
if(empty($_GET['section']))
If GET variable 'section' is not sent, it is not equal to '', it does
not even exists, is undefined. Using it triggers error of level E_NOTICE.
If you write
$_GET[section]
php is looking for constant named 'section'. However, it does not
exists, so an error of level E_NOTICE is triggered. Undefined constant
is then converted to string with its name. So you get $_GET['section']
in the end.
It's a good practice have full error reporting turned on, since this
will help you spot errors and write safer code.

Thank you, that did the trick. Now it works without problems.

Question:
Has anybody else noticed session-only cookies not disappearing when using
Firefox? Is this a Firefox bug (should they be notified/ or I get latest
Firefox) ?
Using IE6 I can:
setcookie('sesvar', 'this session only', 0, "", "www.mypersonaldomain.net");
This can be read and disappears after the browser has been closed.
Doing the same with Firefox 0.8 the cookie can be read, but also can be read
when the browser has been closed and a new one opened. It can also be read
after logging out, closing the browser and reopening a new browser.
Any ideas
Many Thanks
Roger
PS - I hope that this is the correct place to ask this question

Hello all.
I've a linux server that runs a mailserver for several users. I want to
build a page where users can change their email password, that's their
accounts password.
how can i with PHP manage to compare the password they type in a web
form with the one they have in the system ?? (/etc/passwd) ??
can it be with LDAP ? or PAM ? or any other method ?
cheers !

SUEXE can do it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Hi Experts,
I would like to be able to alter the lining-up of several sections on a php
generated webpage. What would be the best/optimal approach in achieving
that?
As an example "sections" referred to are mostly tables generated via code on
data obtained from a DB. Should I name them (somehow), shall I use a
seperate table to store the lining-up information or shall I add a
"precedence" integer column to each relevant table in the database, ...?
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

hello,
i'm rather new to php, but have quite some programming experience in
different langiuages.
i'm working on an interactive installation that generates small movies,
that are uoploaded to a server.
and i want two things to happen;
in one situation i need to encode the smal clips in the right format,
and copy them to a streaming server,
in the other situation i want those small clips to be stiched together
on the server side,
before being encoded in the appropreate format and copied to the a
streaming server
i've got multiple of those interactive installations, that communicate,
but they don't have the resources to de all the work themselves..
also they don't have the bandwidth to act as a server..
but the recoding/not recording time-proportions are more than enough
to keep up with uploading recorded movies.. so i want the server to do
the rest
and i've got the idea that php should be capable of doing this...
but the only docs i find aree about creating Quicktime reference movies.
i'd prefer anything that's compatible with Quicktime- or Darwin
streaming servers,
but any other suggestions are welcome too.. anyone?
thanks
arri
