You could create a script that basically just does apc_clear_cache() et all.
and call it from lynx, curl, wget, etc. and throw that into a cron job. That
would technically get you to call the script from the cli, but it should
clear the webserver cache.

I thought about that but it means dealing with my own login system and apart
from
having to figure that out, it's seems like a kludge ... in the end
hitting apache with a 'graceful' was alot quicker to get running ;-)

Depends what you're saving it for. Either of those options works, although
you'd probably find it easier to save to OpenDoc format rather than Word, as
OpenDoc is just XML with compression (and used by every major word processor
except Word).
Saving just a plain XML file is the same as saving just a plain HTML file.
It's just a string of text. You can write it to a file directly, or write it
to standard out with an output buffer, than grab the buffer and save that to
a file. Or if you want to manipulate it as XML rather than a string, use PHP
5's excellent XML handling or PEAR's XML libraries that mimic them on PHP 4.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas

Hey all,
Since I get so much great info and help from the
lists I'm on, every now and then I like to try and
give something back.
I just finished some code that is pretty useful
for populating one drop down based on the
selection of a previous one, so I thought I'd pass
it along in case anyone found it useful. I'm sure
many of you already have a way to do this in your
toolbox, but thought some may not.
I've seen many examples of doing this Googling
around, but found them overly complex, and I think
I've come up with a quite simple and affective way
to do it with not too much code.
Basically, I had a need to populate a dropdown
containing areas within the boroughs of New York
City based on which borough was selected. So say
they select Manhattan in the first dropdown, the
second dropdown then becomes populated with the
areas within Manhatan.
The code builds the possible arrays for the
second dropdown from the database when the page
loads, then plugs them directly into the JS,
making the whole arrangement dynamic. Change the
DB and the dropdown adjusts accordingly.
If you'd like to see the code email me off list
and I'll pass it along.

Most of the solutions I have seen only allow to link 2 or at most 3
select inputs. Another common limitation is that they only work with
MySQL database queries.
Look here if you are searching for a solution that interconnects an
unlimited number of inputs and can work with many other database types
besides MySQL (say PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, Microsoft SQL server or
Microsoft Access, etc..):

Here you may see a example form in action with 3 linked selects:

Hello All
I'm trying to get a WebDAV server set up using PEAR::HTTP_WebDAV_Server, but
so far I'm having little success.
All I could get from the 11 Slides was that the Class had to be subclassed,
and the methods overloaded, to provide the functionality.
I gathered from the source-code, that I had to instigate the object, and
call the ServeRequest method - This works OK for GET requests via the
Browser, but when I try it in MSWord or OOo, it opens whatever it marked
read only, as opposed to read/write.
I've written the following so far in an attempt to help me understand the
procedure. Any suggestions?
#!/usr/local/php51/bin/php
<?php
include_once("HTTP/WebDAV/Server.php");
function wlog($msg){
$logfile = "/tmp/webdav.log";
$fp = fopen($logfile, "a");
fwrite($fp, $msg . "\n");
fclose($fp);
}
class My_DAV_Server extends HTTP_WebDAV_Server {
function GET(&$p){
wlog("GET: $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]");
// for some reason the $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] is empty....
$path_info = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],
strlen($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));
$str = "You called: $path_info";
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
header("Last-Modified: " . date("D, j M Y H:m:s ") . "GMT");
header("Content-Length: " . strlen($str));
echo $str;
return true;
}
function PUT(&$p){
wlog("PUT: $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]");
}
function PROPFIND(&$p){}
/*
function COPY(&$p){}
function MOVE(&$p){}
function DELETE(&$p){}
function PROPPATCH(&$p){}
function LOCK(&$p){}
function UNLOCK(&$p){}
function CHECKLOCK(&$p){}
*/
}
$s = new My_DAV_Server();
$s->ServeRequest();
