I think you can try to sort the array in reverse order, and then
calculate the sum of numbers in loops (end loop when the sum is larger
than target sum).
It seems there is no algorithm can do this quickly.

than target sum).
That seems like a very slow way to do it, I think.
First thing, sort the array, then scan the array backwards for the
first number under the target sum (in this case, 50). Then look for
another number that will add to make the target sum. So, if you find
a 90, look for a 10. If you find it, you're done. If you don't find
it, then search for the next smallest number (33) and add it. Then
repeat. If you don't find a match at 83, then add the next smallest
number, 20. But that puts you over your target, so you discard 33
and start over with 50 and the next lowest number, 20. Now you are
only looking for numbers <=20.
This might be the perfect place to use a recursive function, as long
as you are careful to limit it's iteration cycles.
No way is this going to be done quickly.

Anyone know of a good alternative to FCKeditor? Or a decent file uploader?
Even after paying for a little help, I get zip for FCK.
I need another solution, another editor with an active forum or support,

TinyMCE...I don't know how good/bad TinyMCE is, but if you can't use
FCK, you could try it.

Because you're pointing it out to the wrong people. See bugs.php.net.

Maybe you missed it, but he did submit a bug report:
http://bugs.php.net/?id=38935
He just wanted to see if other people had run into a similar situation before
submitting the bug... from my understanding. I don't want to put words in

Yup (and thanks), that was exactly my intention. Initially I wasn't
sure that I was not doing something wrong, or seeing interference
from XDebug etc. It's hard enough getting a PHP bug report accepted
at all, so I try to make sure that it's very, very clear. I'm quite
used to getting 'bogusbotted' by now - you seem to have to fight for
every bug, in code or documentation. I appreciate that the
maintainers have to deal with a lot of crap, and I make an effort not
to waste their time (e.g. by reading docs, searching archives,
posting on -users, as they suggest), but occasionally they just don't
read the report - in this case I was referred to the documentation,
which agrees 100% with my complaint!

I did miss the bug report. My apologies :)

I have been running Apache 1.3.19, php511 with mySQL 4.1.5 server on
win98 and using phpmyadmin264.
A few weeks ago everything was working. Recently, when I press the BROWSE
button in phpmyadmin version 2.64 I get an "Apache" error "Program has
performed an illegal operation and will now be shut down...."
The details say: "APACHE caused an invalid page fault in
module PHP5TS.DLL at 017f:00d7634c...."
I upgraded to php 5.1.6 and tried phpmyadmin 2.90 but continue to get the
same unfortunate result.
I see now that when I try "INSERT" in phpmyadmin EVERY OTHER text field
will accept only one character.
The Apache error.log does not report anything related to php5ts.dll or
phpmyadmin. It did reflect the following:
<b>Warning</b>: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'c:\php511\ext\php_mcrypt.dll' - One of the library files needed to run
this application cannot be found.
in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b><br />
after I enabled php_mcrypt.dll in php.ini per phpmyadmin 2.90 instructions.
extension_dir in php.ini is set to c:\php516\ext
I'm aware I ought to be upgrading OS, but when Googling for help on this,
I see other references from folks with XP, etc. I also have questions into
the phpmyadmin forum but have not heard back yet.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions for resolving this sort
of behavior or uncovering the flaw I am overlooking.
Best regards,
Ralph Frost

Hi Tedd,
Yes, when I browse to www.myDomain.com I get the index.html file, and so I
have been leaving the .public_html/ directory alone since it is not my
root. I'm curious, what you described is exactly what I'm trying to do -
what permissions do you set the parent folder at when you are finished
uploading/saving/downloading/etc.? I have my "uploaded_images/"
directory set at chmod 0100 and I can still browse to an uploaded image from
my file upload page... Thanks for your response,
Andy

Andy:
Sorry, I didn't catch all of the thread, but this is my drift.
When you access your site (http://yourdomain.com) via a browser, do
you see the above index.htm?
If so, and you want to stay with that host, then leave the
.public_html/ folder alone, and build your site using WinFTP, or
whatever.
If you want to change permissions for a file from within a php
script, then ftp into your site (using ftp_login), change the parent
folder permissions, do your file thing (upload, delete, save, etc.),
and then change the parent folder permissions back and it's done.
At least that's the way I do it working on a shared host and it works for
me.

Hi,
i'm trying to find a good solution to this problem. I want download files
from a directory outside DocumentRoot.
This files cannot be downloaded through direct url like
http://site/test.zip. It must be downloaded after user login.
I know i can do that using some functions like fread() + fopen() or
readfile(), than i would echo file buffer to browser with correct headers.
But, reading then dumping file to browser is a big problem to server.
I've made one test that shows me i will "eat" 1.8% of RAM (i've used "ps
aux" at Linux, in a server with 2Gb of RAM) to download a 30Mb file at
60kb/s speed. So, imagine what a dump-php-script can do with 50 to 100
concurrently downloads. Probably i will need 1 TeraByte of RAM to provide
downloads ;)
Theres my question now. Is there other way to protect files against direct
downloading? (Obligating users to login and denying direct-url's).
I also know i can check referer by using Mod_Rewrite at Apache. But it isn't
secure, since referer cannot be sent or be fake.
Please, help me ;)
Thank you !
--------
Script i used to test:
<?
$url = "test.tar.gz";
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($url)."\";");
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($url));
@readfile($url) OR die();
?>
