This query is not working, and I do not know why. If I try the two

Firstly, this is not PHP related. If you are using MySQL, you should
know that sub-selects are only supported in versions 4.1 and above.

PHP is open source. It's highly supported by lots of developers.
It's free. There are many different libraries such as PEAR, for instance.
There many free frameworks for creating convinient modular and easyly
managebale applications both web and command line.
I can name mojavi.org as a brilliant MVC pattern implementation for PHP5,
propel (propel.phpdb.org)
and metastorage (http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html) as
OOtoR transformation frameworks.
As to ColdFusion, It seems to me that this technology is dead already.

It might not be easy to put a number on, but consider your (and
possibly the other developers') enthusiasm about PHP. I would guess
that you will be more productive with something that you are excited
about.
I have done a lot of work in both ColdFusion and PHP and I much prefer
PHP. There are some technical reasons (i.e., I like "shared nothing"),
but some of it is also personal preference. I just like it. CF is fine
and I don't think it's dead, but it just isn't as fun to work with. My
biggest problem with CF is probably that I have to use it on Windows
and, well, I really don't like that. ;) You mention being in a Windows
environment so maybe you don't have a choice with that aspect.
If management can see that you are stoked to use PHP that might help your cause.

or you could just store the path to where the directory is in the
database and go find the file according to the path and filename.

I am trying to run a daemon via php4 & apache2 (on debian sarge). I
am using the
command "exec('sh script.sh');". All works fine, my daemon (which I
run with
script.sh) is running. But when I stop apache, I can see that the
daemon I ran
previously is listening on port 80 (apache port). This does not
happen if I run
the script from a shell. How can I prevent these daemons from taking
over port
80?
This happens with amule and giftd (haven't tried any others though).
this is my script:
#!/bin/bash
HOME=/var/www
case "$1" in
start)
/usr/bin/giftd -dq --home-dir '/var/www'
;;
stop)
killall giftd
;;
restart | force-reload)
$0 stop
sleep 2
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: gift.sh {start|stop|restart|force-
reload}" exit 1
esac
exit 0
the command used in php:
exec('./gift.sh start');
what I get when I stop apache, after I ran the script:
[router:/var/www/.giFT] racer% sudo netstat -np --ip --listen | grep 80
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2522/giftd

Hello, I've search the archive but doesn't find anything about what I
will expose to you.
There is my problem :
I've followed the following tutorial :
http://www.phpmac.com/articles.php?view=221
, in order to compile apache 2.0.54 and php 5.0.4 under MacOSX Tiger
10.4.1. XCode is installed on the box in version 2.1.
I only change the configure command line for php by doing this :
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-openssl --with-zlib
--enable-bcmath --with-bz2 --enable-calendar --enable-sigchild
--enable-ftp --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/sw --with-png-dir=/sw
--with-mime-magic --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-ncurses
--enable-sockets --with-unixODBC=/usr --with-pdflib --with-tiff-dir
--enable-sysvmsg --enable-sysvshm --enable-sysvsem --with-xslt
--with-xsl --with-curl -with-ming=/sw --with-libxml-dir
--enable-zend-multibyte --with-crypt --with-mime-magic --with-crack
--enable-mbstring --with-dom && make clean && make
But I little problem. The compilation fails with these error messages :

I don't know what to do. I doesn't want to disable PEAR which will
allow me to disable PCRE in php because I will need PCRE and I don't
know if I will not use a PEAR package during the developement of the
website.
Has someone a workaround for this problem ?

Dates should almost always be stored as dates in a database, not
varchars. This allows for more and/or faster date functions, sorting
that works (it only works with yyyy-mm-dd format in varchars), and you
can select the data into a unix timestamp instead of needing to
strtotime() first.
The calculation in mysql couldn't be much simpler.
select datediff(StampDate, '2003-08-23') as StampDateDiff
>From the manual:
DATEDIFF() returns the number of days between the start date expr and
the end date expr2. expr and expr2 are date or date-and-time
expressions. Only the date parts of the values are used in the
calculation.

substr's third argument is length, not position. It also accepts
negative values which makes it go from the end, allowing you to do
absolute lengths or relative.
To make a string no more than 9 characters:
substr($string, 0, 9);
To always remove the last two characters of a string:
substr($string, 0, -2);

Forgive us, it's Monday.
$newstring = substr ( $oldstring, 0, 9 );
Will knock the last two characters off of an eleven character string. 0
is the starting point, and 9 is the length you want returned....
$newstring = substr ( $oldstring, 1, 9 );
Will knock off the first and last character of an eleven character
string (giving you the 'middle' 9 characters).
$newstring = substr ( $oldstring, 0, -2 );
Will knock the last two characters off a string of any length.

It should be 9 if you want 9 characters.
Lots of PHP functions are zero-based, but the 3rd parameter to substr
is asking for the number of characters to return, not the actual
character location in the string to stop at - if it did, then it would
have been 8 (0 being the 1st character, etc), but in this case it's 9.
It's an easy one to slip-up on imho.
