I had run the numbers a while back when 5.0 came out and found that it
was slower than the 4.x releases at that time. It seems that 5.1.1 does
not change this. Even very simple scripts take longer. Phorum does not
use any OO code, so, maybe that is the deal. Did OO get a big jump in
speed? I hope they did, because the folks that like procedural code got
no speed that I can find.
See my results here: http://phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,52162

I'm assuming you actually have something like:
$xml->load("http://hostname/menu_render.php?menu_id=$menu_id&format=xml";);
Just specify the username and pass in the url:
http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/menu_render.php?...');

The ini setting is called 'sendmail_from'. or you can use the 5th

I have the following two methods as part of a class I'm using to transport
data between pages.
static function pack($object)
{
if (session_id() == "") {
session_start();
}
$class = get_class($object);
$_SESSION["cmsSessionArray"][$class] = serialize($object);
}
static function unpack($strObject)
{
session_start();
return unserialize($_SESSION["cmsSessionArray"][$strObject]);
}
the pack() method is called by the destructor of the objects I want to save
like:
function __destruct()
{
parent::pack($this);
}
On subsequent pages the session data is not available until I do a
session_start(). Regardless of the fact that I think the session shouldn't
need to be restarted, I don't like the fact that if indeed it has been
closed that a session_start() on another page will bring back the data.
(Note, fortunately this doesn't not occur if the browser window has been
closed, at that point all session data is definitely lost as expected.)
Are session supposed to work this way?

I wouldn't put a random session_start() in places like this.

I'm not sure what you mean by restarting a session or what 'indeed
has been closed'
btw, your pack and unpack aren't really needed. All you have to do
is in your __destruct() function is put something like:
$_SESSION['cmsSessionArray'][__CLASSNAME__] = $this;
And when you pull it out of the session:
$obj = $_SESSION['cmsSessionArray']['someClass'];
You'll have an instance of that class; you're really causing more
work than needed.

Yes, I actually changed the destructors to handle the session as you
indicated a few minutes after I posted, however I still have no clue as to
why I would need to do a session_start() to get data from the session.

In addition to what was mentioned below, you can also wrap your text in
<PRE></PRE> tags to have it output exactly as you've formatted it:
echo "<PRE>\n";
echo "one\n";
echo "two\n";
echo "</PRE>\n";
Actually, I don't think either of these methods is going to output what you
want. Even though \n is newline, it's still interpreted as newline/carriage
return. Unix, Mac and DOS/Windows PC's all use something different for a
newline character. I believe Unix was \n, Mac was \r at some point and
DOS/Windows PC's used \n\r. Think my old Amiga used \r as well. Goofy.
Anyway, it's proably because of this that you can't just do \n and expect it to
be represented as just a newline (sans carriage return).
If you use the <PRE> tag, then you can manually do what you want to do:
echo "<PRE>\n";
echo "one\n";
echo " two";
echo "</PRE>\n";
If you don't use the <PRE> tag, there's an HTML entity that you can use for a
hard space.. Unfortunately in HTML, if you stack a bunch of spaces,
it compresses them to one space.
echo "one two";
..and..
echo "one two";
Will both result in:
one two
If you use instead of spaces, it'll space it out further:
echo "one two";
Ugly but it works.
Unfortunately (again), if you don't use the <PRE> tags, you'll have to remember
to set a monospace font face or you won't get the text alignment you might want.
One other side nugget related to this (formatted and spaces and all that
nonsense), you can use the <NOBR></NOBR> tag to tell HTML not to word-wrap the
text within it. Comes in handy when you want to force a column heading to be
one line even though it's got a space in it and your browser wants to wrap the
line.
Good luck! Hope this helped a little.

Hi
well this isn't apache or php related, as it's webbrowser related, and
even more, it's correct.
The thing is, what You see in Your browser is an interpreted version of
the html outputed by the php (obvious?), so if You do a html file, and put:
one
two
in there, and view it with Your browser, it will still look like this:
one two
to get the expected (as in C/C++) result, You need to add a <br> or any
other line breaking method in there (<p>one</p><p>two</p> is another one)
Now, if You'd see the generated source code, You'd notice that there is
in fact the line break as it should be :)
so it is good to use '\n' to get the output code clear to read, for
debugging and so..
Best wishes

Yeah, Apache (or other web server) just gives the HTML page to the web
browser without really doing anything, if a page has a .php extension Apache
gives the page to PHP which proccesses it and returns it to Apache and
Apache gives it to the client. You could do what Matt Monaco says and let
every HTML and PHP page be parsed by PHP but it makes load time slower for
HTML pages with no PHP in them

DO NOT validate anything important with javascript, the user can easily
bypass the javascript by creating his own HTML page or disabling javascript
on his browser. if you *Absouloutly* need to use javascript, check the last
page the browser visited with Javascript or PHP and either allow or deny
access, still, even that is insecure. Now, for your main question, this is a
PHP board, not a Javascript board post this on a javascript list

Hi Everyone, I am running PHP 5 on Windosws XP SP2 with MySQL5, Bye Now!

Hello,
This is my first time posting to the list... I hope this question is
not too silly, I am definitely not a guru at PHP.
Anyway, in one of my latest projects, I find myself using this bit of
code quite a bit:
if((isset($_REQUEST['sub'])) && (!empty($_REQUEST['sub']))) {
... code here...
}
Can I write a function that would make my life easier? Maybe something
like this (not tested):
//////// function security_check():
function security_check($x) {
$error = false;
if((isset($x)) && (!empty($x))) {
$error = false;
return $error;
} else {
$error = true;
return $error;
}
}
Or, is it perfectly valid and secure to use @, like so:
@... code here...
I know that it completely depends on the what one is trying to
accomplish in ones scripts, but any guidance and/or suggestions would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, I really appreciate your time.
Cheers,
Micky
