Hello,

If I send a session cookie to browser where it is stored in WinXP? Or is it stored as a separate file at all. I know that the script sends the cookie but I can't find it in the client computer harddrive.

I am testing with Opera, IE6 and Firefox.

In Firefox :

Tools --> Options
Click on Privacy on the left
Click on the + sign next to Cookies to expand that section
Click on View Cookies

In IE :

Tools --> Internet Options (or double click on Internet Option in the Control Panel)
Click on Settings... (in the Temporary Internet Files group)
It will tell you on the next popup dialog where your files are stored.

Generally its SystemDrive:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\

I don't use Opera, so can't help you there.

Hi,
  In my application I need to allow the user to upload a file with size more 
than 2M.
  I came to know that by default php will allow only 2M. How can change it.
  I changed, that in php.ini file and restarted apache. but still not working.
 How to solve this problem?
 
Thanks,
Srinadh

Hi everybody

What functions should be use for XML in PHP 4? I've tried with DOM Functions 
but it appears an error "not class", DOM-XML Functions(experimental) don't 
work well. 

Thank you...

You want the xml_* functions.  You start out with xml_parser_create() to
<surprise>create an XML parser</surprise>.  Not being mean, just making
a point that most PHP functions do what you expect them to do.  This
function (as well as related functions) can be found here:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.xml-parser-create.php

DOM is what you use in PHP5.  If you're working on a new project I
highly recommend that you upgrade to PHP5 and use the XML facilities
there instead...

You could check out wvware. I believe you can find it at
http://wvware.sourceforge.net although I'm not sure.

Alternatively you could probably find some way of automating
openoffice to do it for you. I reckon that OOo has a better filter for
converting them than wvware. If you don't need this urgently, then you
could wait until mid-march for OOo 2.0, which will aparently have
better MSOffice compatability, and use that instead.

If you're on a Windows box, and have MSWord installed, you could
probably install the PDF Printer driver, and then have MSWord open the
file, and 'print' it to the PDF driver, using OLE automation.

So to summerise: Hints: wvware or Office Word Processor + automation

If you want a simple solution that works perfectly all of the time,
then you're probably in bother.

Thanks for this tip BTW, I'll be on the lookout for the update...

I will second this suggestion.  There is a great library out there
called *PDFCreator* that will take print jobs in WinXP and convert them
into PDFs.  I use it all the time.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

*WARNING* PDFCreator is under the GPL.  If this works for you then
great, but just want you to know it isn't a PHP-style of license...

Yes, as long as you have allow_url_fopen = 1 in your php.ini

--- Begin Message --- I noticed you have your error_reporting level set really high (2039), which is pretty close to everything. That may be fine on a development server, but I wouldn't set it that high on a production server. I'd be curious what you log looks like. Perhaps this is causing your slowness, perhaps not.

Also, you seem to use the short open tag style '<?'. Not that it's causing your problem, but for compatibility you should probably use the long style '<?php'.

Hello people,

Recently, one of my webservers became rather slow. At first we thought it
was the MySQL backend, but when logged in on MySQL using the command line
tool over SSH, it runs as smooth as ever.
Static content (normal html pages) also load without delay. It seems that
the bottleneck is PHP itself.
For the sake of comparison, I created 2 test pages:

http://www.debuginc.com/test.html
http://www.debuginc.com/test.php

Everyone I asked says that the PHP page takes over 5 seconds to load while
the HTML one instantly displays. The only code in the PHP page is <? echo
'hello world'; ?>. No MySQL stuff, so that eliminates the initial idea of
MySQL causing the slowness.

Nevertheless, it IS slow and I have no idea why or where to start looking.
The phpinfo() can be found on www.debuginc.com/info.php. Any help or hints
are highly appreciated.

Another interesting note; this problem started a couple of days ago without
any changes in the config or anything. At first I upped the amount of
connections Apache would accept, but it soon turned out that was not the
problem.

Thanks,
- Gerard

Not a good way for several reasons:

Dynamic IP addresing:
NAT based firewalls.

I suspect your best bet is to place a cookie.
