In addition to the browser limitations on a TEXTAREA, web servers are free
to limit POST data to anything larger than X where X is some number I
forgot.
Call it 64K for fun.
If you need THAT much text, make it a file upload.

Hi JAson,
I'm leaving tomorrow for CA to do some of the testing and workflow.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

Hi there, is there anyway possible to load a streaming windows media
file via a socket connecting to output its contents to the browser or a
windows media object. My issue is I am spitting out an asx playlist
file however for some freak reason, whenever i put control logic around
where i am outputting the playlist the player craps out saying playlist
file format not recognised. Which is why I want to try out this way
execpt socket transport doesnt understand mms :) Ie the file would look
like mms://thefile

Evert,
Have you looked at smarty (http://smarty.php.net) ? It doesn't do
exactly what you're talking about but it seems to be the "Fastest
templating mechanism" that I've tested; probably one of the most
versatile as well.
Cheers!

Hi all,
I'm working on a template system which works a bit like a text
translation block. The data looks for example like:
beginblock <div class="block">
endblock </div>
beginauthor <span class="author">
endauthor </div>
The list is going to be very large, it will have several overlays and
not all pages need all items in the list. (usually just a fraction)
What will be the smartest way to implement this? I need a low-memory
cost and fast solution
I can do it with a php script, like:
$list = array(
'beginblock' => '<div class="block">',
etc.
);
but this will use up too much memory. I could additionally do it with
a textfile, but if I need to loop through it at every lookup it will
be slow..
What are your suggestions?
regards,
Evert

You might try using the first pass of a regular C compiler, the
pre-compiler, which expands macro definitions. It shouldn't have any
problems with the structure of PHP, except for the # comments which it would
mistake for its own pre-compiler declarations.
Otherwise, may I sugest you check in the archives my own posting with the
subject "XML/HTML specific instructions"?

Have also a look at www.phpsavant.com. Different from smarty, its a
lightweight object-oriented template engine.
One neat feature is that you could add optionally your own custom markup
compilers.

Hi,
I should say RTFM, or just read a bit before you ask, pls.
Anyway take a look at the $_SERVER superglobal or the get_browser()
function.

You could examine the user agent string, but that can be (and is in many
cases) spoofed.
Its generally better to just write code which doesn't depend on the use of a
specific browser. Its very rare that something really needs IE (At least I
assume that "+" means "higher" rather that "better").

Hi guys,
I'm doing something dumb but I can't see it.
The basic premise is:
sql search of orders sorted by customer
set g_customer_id to ''
loop through resultset
if customer_id not same as last record's customer_id (g_customer_id)
get customer email details
set up message header if this is the first record for a customer
set item details
else
set item details
set g_customer_id to customer_id
endif
send email
end loop
The problem is that as a sample I have two records from one demo customer
(me) and I can only get my email to handle one record - either sending
separate records for each record or one email covering the last record only
Its as if I should have another inner loop
Any tips
MTIA
