Hi!
I need to create an image map on a country map, where people can click
on any state and get some info related to it.. In such case the regular
polygon/circle/rectengle image map wont do bcoz of shapes of state..
I guess this must be possible someway in PHP.. please tell me if you
have any idea how to go abt this..
Thanks in advance :)

Is the problem you're experiencing that the image map isn't being built
properly or are you passing information to it that does not appear to be
consistant.
If it's the former, then PHP has nothing to do with that. I'm sure you can
find some tools to generate image maps for you. There have always been free
ones with a minimum of effort.
If you're having problem with PHP in the mix, can you describe the PHP
problem, provide some code, some sample output, etc.?
I've used image maps in the past (though I try to stay away from them) and
you can create a link with virtually any polygon if you have the patience to
may out the plot points. You could easily create a star with many, many
points and have it be clickable - which would indicate that most states
would be a piece of cake.

Yes, I once did this for all the states in Brazil. It took me a few
hours to trace the states, but it looked beautiful when it was finished.
This will already have been done for the states many times - you could
probably borrow someone else's work and scale it up or down a bit if it
doesn't fit.

Poly will define any shape you need for the states in an image map.
You'll most likely want to use an image map program to generate it
though so you don't have to map all those coordinates out manually.

Oh, funnily enough I did a similar thing for India as well for a cricket
website, but only based on test match venues.
You should be able to find something, try government websites etc.
Good luck

I just googled and came up with a bunch of results:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=free+imagemap+html+generator&btnG=S
earch
I haven't had to make any image maps in quite a few years, so I can't
personally recommend any. But I'm sure that the basic "point and click"
interface will be supported by many of the free utils you'll find on that
first results page.
Good luck

I was writing an on-line mapping tool that used PHP and let you outline
the regions for a given image.
Sort of "Indian Jones"-like (the mapping of the plane as he flew)
You'll probably find a nice one, but if not, you may want to consider
writing your own in PHP if the existing ones aren't that good. It wasn't
that tricky.

This isn't about redundancy, it's about enhancing the experience for
customers physically located thousands of miles away from the server
they are trying to access. So, bring the content closer to them and
drop their wait times massively. It's easy for those of us sat on the
end of cable connections to become complacent about this IMHO (i.e.
"the Internet is fast enough now that you don't need to do this"), but
in reality that's not really yet the case.
Best regards,
Richard Davey
I dont have much knowledge about this thing.. still isnt it possible to
rsync the contents after you update your site? If this is possible in
your case, then its quiet easy I guess.. sorry if I misunderstood :)

I believe, then, that you would best be served by focussing your search on
"mirroring" such as that done by, say, http://php.net
Seems to work well for them :-)

Here is something I have done in the past to speed up php/mysql pages
(should work with other databases though). Basically, I noticed that
the majority of our database calls were read calls, rather than write
calls. So, in all of the locations globally, I set up "read-only"
database servers, and also replicated the php code to all of the
sites, then still did all of the writes to the "master" server but,
all of the reads from each local "read-only" server.
Not sure if this is necessairily the "best" way to do things, but it
worked well for me, and sped things up quite a bit. This does mean
you have 2 database connections always, 1 for reading, and 1 for
writing.
For mysql, look more at their website for how to set up replication
machines. As far as the code goes, I just have a process that
straight copy's it from my "master" server.

Nope, if the stream will open and put data into $xml then you're fine.
It's not a requirement that the XML file is on the disk, just that it's
available to memory.

Hi there..
I`m defending the language, but people here want to migrate to asp..
They just keep on saying "php is not used for huge corporation solutions, there
asp goes better".
I know it isn�t correct, but I don�t know much about "well-known" websites
using php technology. (I just don�t navigate enough time to know it)
I think that could help a lot, since this people is highly influenced by that
kind of facts.. (I mean, knowing that other companies trust this language to
manage critical information).
Does anybody know/have any web-sites listing using php? If you only know a few
of those, it could help me too.
Thanks in advance!!
Pablo

As i recall Yahoo uses PHP. Quick Google turned up:
http://public.yahoo.com/~radwin/talks/yahoo-phpcon2002.htm
Also i remember it was a pretty big deal when
Friendster switched to PHP. And the resulting
improvement in performance was pretty dramatic.
O'Reilly has a good article.
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/5155
Google around some, especially on the Friendster
switch, which as I recall caused quite a stir, for
more information.

Let's start with Yahoo ;-)
Google also uses PHP.

My 2 Cents > ASP is a Platform that supports a number of different
microsoft languages which includes ASP Javascript, ASP VBScript,
ASP.Net C# & ASP.Net VB ... ASP has a couple of good points to it...
most notably is that it is backed by the largest computer company out
there.. Microsoft... also, from my experience as a college level
instructor, they teach microsoft programming languages at the
colleges... there is nothing spectacular about the programming
languages that ASP supports that cannot be done with PHP... and I
should say that that is my opinion...
I know Yahoo & Google use PHP in some of their applications... also
Lufthansa (Airline) uses PHP... Vonage... Broadvoice.. the list goes
on...

I'm not allowed to say what company it's for, but we just finished
building a site for a Fortune 50 company.
Others have mentioned google and Y!, which are of course very prominent.
Recently, IBM has remarked that it's endorsing PHP and throwing money at
PHP development to make it more enterprise ready.
Another argument I'd make is that PHP can run on a variety of web
servers, not just IIS, which give you more choice in your web
architecture.
ASP is certainly a fine language, but my personal opinion is that it
locks you in to a single architecture -- one that costs $$$ and which
has limited scalability. Those reasons alone are enough to look at other
languages.

But what you could do is create an anonymous account somewhere, let's
say @hotmail.com, and THEN post the name of the company. ;)
Make sure you do this on a computer that allows anonymous access, like,
a friend's house! :)

Sounds to me like they've already decided on non-rational basis, and are
justifying their choice, rather than making an attempt at an informed
decision...
Rational discourse may not be particularly effective...

Actually, LIMIT is in ANSI SQL.

Either the ANSI standard changed, or Rasmus needs to update his Bio...
http://lerdorf.com/bio.php
"...he can be blamed for the ANSI92 SQL-defying LIMIT clause in mSQL 1.x
which has now, at least conceptually, crept into both MySQL and
PostgreSQL."
But, hey, I'm not gonna actually READ the ANSI standard to find out -- I'd
rather worry about what actually *WORKS* than what the SQL standard is,
which, sadly, is seldom easily reconciled with Real-Life (tm).

That's exactly my point.
It's similar to how a local root exploit sometimes evolves into a
remote root exploit once publicized and people begin working on it.

If you are happy with infinite answers, I guess that is Ok. In practice,
since you would probably wouldn't expect numbers (or strings) infinetly
long, assuming that you just have N possible initial values, you would have
N/3 possible answers.
I thought the question was about getting one answer.

MD5 collisions were found last year:

MD5 is hashing which is not the same as encryption. Hashing is
normally defined as a one-way conversion of a plaintext message into a
fixed-length digest or "hash". Encryption is normally defined as
conversion of a plaintext message into ciphertext which cannot be read
until it is decrypted -- i.e. encryption normally implies the
possibility of decryption.
In that framework there is no such thing as "decrypting" an MD5 digest,
because an MD5 digest is not an encrypted version of the message to
start with. No amount of CPU power will change this basic fact --
though CPU power can be used to do a brute force search for strings
which will generate a given MD5 value. However, as stated before, at
current levels of computing power this is not feasible for messages
beyond I think 7 or 8 characters long (don't quote me on that).
The recently discovered "hole" is unrelated to the above. It is that
under certain conditions it is possible to find two different plaintext
messages which will generate the same MD5 digest. This could
theoretically allow one to spoof a message and have it appear
legitimate if MD5 is used for the legitimacy check, but it does not
allow "reversal" of MD5, nor do the authors of articles on this problem
seem to claim that it could.

Check out the META DATA section of this page (link above). I used it to create
a database 'walker' app that lets you search for table names, column names,
etc. I was working on a HUGE database that wasn't documented well and nobody
could give me good answers on how things joined..haha. so this meta data was
very helpful.
It's basically stored in a table in SQL Server, all the table/column
information. So it's super simple to get the information you want.
Check out this query:
SELECT * FROM sysobjects
good luck!

It's a "constant initializer" - which is both an accurate and
misleading title at the same time :) It will initialise a variable to
be constant through-out your entire class (meaning any method can
access it) but unlike true PHP constants (those created with define)
the value of the variable can be manipulated from just about anywhere.
It is of course PHP4 only and is depreciated in PHP5.

indeed in php you can do the following instead:
<?
error_reporting( E_ALL & E_STRICT );
class Test
{
// this first var (commented out) should (I thought) act as if defined
// 'public' - it doesn't given a parse error with php -l, but does when run.
// I haven't run into this problem in 1.5 years of writing php5...
// I must be having a brain freeze :-/
//$myVar;
// publically accessible instances variables
public $myVar1; // not initialized with a value
public $myVar2 = "2"; // initialized with a value
// an instance variable thats only available
// from within _all_ methods of this object.
// .. methods could be defined in subclasses or parent-classes
protected $myVar3 = "3";
// an instance variable that is only available to the
// methods defined in _this_ class
private $myVar4 = "4";
// a variable with class scope (all instances see the same value),
// publically accessible
static $myVar5 = "5";
static public $myVar6 = "6";
// a variable with class scope (all instances see the same value),
// thats only available from within _all_ methods of this object.
static protected $myVar7 = "7";
// a variable with class scope (all instances see the same value),
// thats only available from methods defined in _this_ class
static private $myVar8 = "8";
public function get4() { return $this->myVar4; }
public function get8() { return self::$myVar8; }
}
// basic usage examples:
var_dump( ($t = new Test), $t->myVar2, $t->get4(), Test::$myVar6, $t->get8() );
?>
I can thoroughly recommend php5's much improved object model,
try other variations of calls to the defined 'myVar's, also try doing
with sublcasses, see what does/doesn't work, have fun :-)
It is of course PHP4 only and is depreciated in PHP5.

Well, it's just a matter of coming up with the formula for converting
your data. I briefly tried to come up with one, but gave up after I
realized there would not be a "center" data piece if you have a 4x4
array or any even number array for that matter.
I would right down the array positions for before and after and try to
find the pattern you are looking for. It should be some combination or
rows, columns and array size (addition, subtraction, multiplicaiton,
division, absolute values, etc.). If you can't find the pattern, you
can't write a generic conversion function and neither can PHP or
anybody.
Your first row maps like this (row,col):
0,0 -> 2,0
0,1 -> 1,1
0,2 -> 0,2
This formula would map the first row appropriately:
row = ColCount - ColNum
col = ColNum
It obviously fails for your second row, but it's just an example.
There is obviously a pattern which the mind can interpret fairly
quickly. But trying to describe it in exact terms can be difficult.

Hi,
Thanks for the reponse. I tested again, but it was not the problem
with ENCTYPE. I am getting file with $_FILES. I think this is due to
CGI configuration if not with php.ini. Because when I check the
version by using "PHP -v" command, it shows "4.3.10 (cgi)" but when
check that using phpinfo() function, it is showing as PHP 4.2.2. Why
the difference? I am working in that view to find the solution.
Currently I got a temporary solution. I am jsut copying from $_FILES
to $_REQUEST at the very begining of the script. Because I can't
change all the scripts now.
Thanks,
S.Srinadh.

Because you have two different versions of PHP installed. In
otherwords, the CGI version and most likely the module
version.
Now to answer your question, here's a quote from the
PHP Manual:
Note: Prior to PHP 4.3.0, $_FILES information was
also included in $_REQUEST.
So, $_FILES is no longer part of $_REQUEST.

My advice -- take the full amount of time given to you, and go back over
your answers should you have time left over.
I took it at the "2005 PHP Quebec Conference" (it was part of the fee).
I finished it in an hour, but had 90 minutes alotted. I did not pass,
and still regret not taking the time to go back over the answers I was
unsure of. I think that if I had taken the full time, I would have had
a better shot.
You'll likely have better luck, as I normally don't do well with exams
in general.
As an aside, I think the exam needs to mature a bit more. I was confused
a few times, and found a few questions that involved cases I had
certainly experienced in five plus years of PHP development. I'm sure
that'll happen in due time as the certification is only a couple years old.

You need to tell Apache what function this module file will perform. You
are onlly telling it the path to the file. You could specify the any module
with a VERY descriptive file name, but Apache still doesn't know what to do
with it.
You need to use this type of a directive.
LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2.dll"
The first argument passed will tell Apache the function of this file, and
the second argument tells it where to look for the library.
Hope it helps!

Somewhat OT...
Okay, maybe a lot OT...
I have these cron jobs on a computer, and I want the email output from them.
But I don't want sendmail running 24/7, and when it does run, I'd just as
soon it *ONLY* processed email and sent it out, without even opening up
port 25 and listening.
I guess the port 25 stuff is not too terribly important, behind 2
firewalls and all, but...
Anyway, I definitely want it to run and process however much it can, but
to STOP at a pre-determined time.
This is for the computer in my sound booth, and I only want it running
when we are not trying to record live music or burn CDs.
I've Google and read a fair amount of stuff, most of which is giving me a
headache rather than suggesting a solution...
Is there some command line flags I can use to make sendmail run and send
out just *ONE* message from the /var/mail/mqueue or whatever, and then
QUIT and do nothing else?
I can take care of shaping the behaviour from that point using cron and
PHP to run sendmail when I want...
THANKS and please reply off-list as I'm sure most folks don't want to read
this.

hi,
im handling some important information that needs to be stored in my
postgresql database via a php script. i�ve been reading the mails sent on
this mailing list on SSL use. my postgresql server allows SSL connections
but im not sure how to make use of this.id like to know more about ssl and
how to take advantage of its security features. any references?
from my php script, do i need to make a special connection to the database
or is the same e.g pg_connect(host= localhost dbname=test user=p
password=p)?
is my information automatically transfered in an encrypted fashion?

The rest of the error message should be telling you what PHP is using for
include_path.
Does that match what you expect?
If not, then you don't have php.ini the way it should be. Check the
location of php.ini in <?php phpinfo();?>
If it *does* match, then maybe your Pager.php file is messed up and the
class is missing a closing bracket, so your script thinks you're still in
the middle of your class definition.

I have to second Richard on this -- check your php.ini file, and make
sure that the directory where PEAR and/or the PEAR::Pager class are
located are in your include_path. Then, once you are sure of that, make
sure that Pager.php is at the top of one of the paths in your
include_path.

I'm guessing this is probably *not* the case... it's a PEAR package, and
if it's considered stable, this is *highly* unlikely. (Plus, if it's the
stable version, then I'm running it on my production servers, and I
*know* it's working fine!)

The documentation index has a few entries for "SSL". Here are some
useful links for 8.0:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/ssl-tcp.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/libpq.html#LIBPQ-CONNECT

You could add "sslmode=require" to attempt only an SSL connection.
If the connection should always be encrypted, then you could edit
the server's pg_hba.conf and allow only "hostssl" connections. In
that case you shouldn't need to specify "sslmode=require" when you
connect, although doing so serves as a safety measure against
pg_hba.conf misconfiguration, and as a reminder that the connection
should be encrypted.
> is my information automatically transfered in an encrypted fashion?
Yes, assuming you've successfully negotiated an SSL connection. To
be sure, you could use a sniffer like tcpdump or ethereal to look
at the traffic.

I have couple related questions:
Is this necessary if the database is running on the
same machine (as implied by "host= localhost")? If so
why?
Is it possible to make an SSL connection between
Apache and Postgres using Unix-domain sockets?
-k.

Probably not; I was simply discussing the mechanism in general. If
the only users who could sniff the connection are privileged users
who already have access to the filesystem and memory, then encrypting
a connection to localhost wouldn't do much except slow down the
connection. It would, however, mean you wouldn't have to remember
to change that later if the web server and database were split onto
separate machines.
> Is it possible to make an SSL connection between
> Apache and Postgres using Unix-domain sockets?
I don't think libpq will attempt SSL over a Unix-domain socket. I
see a comment in fe-connect.c that says "Don't bother requesting
SSL over a Unix socket", although I haven't examined the code to
see if that's the only place such a decision would be made.
BTW, connecting with "host=localhost" makes a TCP connection;
omitting that and making a Unix-domain connection would probably
make the connection more efficient (assuming the system supports
Unix-domain sockets, that is).

As the User Contributed notes indicate, *SOME* PHP errors simply cannot be
trapped by your custom error handler.
This may, or may not, be one of those cases.
Is an undefined function one of the examples? If not, try one of those.
Also, did you remember to call http://php.net/set_error_handler as well as
to define the function?

Are you saying to embed that within the XSL? Will it process, and will
