In case anyone is interested; I've created a low-level user ('untrusted')
in the system. Password is equal to username. Feel free to try and do
stuff you're not supposed to, like creating a new user or creating a
gene.

Vincent, Jochem,
Thank you for replying.
The issue turned out to be my Article class took arguments in its
constructor, which was unacceptable because the argument could not be
serialized when being passed along during the session.
By adjusting my object so that the constructor takes no arguments, and
then creating a new method on the object to do what the constructor did
previously, the problem was solved.
That explanation may be confusing, but that's because I don't fully
understand serialization myself yet. All I can say for sure is that the
problem was definitely a serialization issue.

When objects are unserialised the constructor will be called without
arguments because the values passed to the constructor are not
automatically stored in the object. You can get around that without
having to create a second initialisation method by using default values
for your arguments...
class Foo
{
public __construct($param = null)
{
if (!is_null($param))
{
// Parameter passed, do something with it
}
}
}

why would the arguments need to be serialized? unserializing an object is
not the same as constructing a new one.

are the Article arguments used to setup a DB connection (or something like
that) per chance?

heh Stut,
this is wrong - the ctor is not called at all when unserializing, check this
code snippet:
php -r '
class Test { function __construct() { echo "foo\n"; } }
$t = new Test;
$s = serialize($t);
unset($t);
$u = unserialize($s);
'
this only outputs 'foo' once.
seems like whatever Dave's problem was it's actually down to
missing ctor args.

Indeed, my bad. When I think about it it actually doesn't make sense for
it to be called. Seems to me like the OP needs to be using the __wakeup
magic method to re-initialise his objects.

yeah, that would probably be the way to go - it's hard to tell without
seeing/knowing what the ctor/init routine was doing.

Hello,
A little while back there was a discussion on running Apache,MySql and PHP from
a CD... I can't seem to find that thread and i cant seem to find the links i
had from that thread, so....
Can anybody suggest/recommend a way to run our project from CD?
Our project is made in PHP 4 with a MySql backend... so far its been running on
Apache..
I have found some commercial alternatives via google(PortableWebAp
,dwebpro,microweb to name a few) but if I remember correctly the solution in
the old thread was a freeware. The commercial solutions offer a lot of bells
and whistles and inter platform compatability but all we need is for AMP to run
on CD and on Windows 2000 onwards.
Any help appreciated, even if its a one line link, thanks in advance!

interested in taking this route, I could set you up with some links, as

Hi Paul,
Sounds good but I dont think its right for this project because we are making
educational pages that are presently online... but will later be distributed
for free to students, mostly young ones at that... 10-15yrs old so it has to be
as simple as possible.... for example:
User gets the cd and loads it into their comp
Then either of these two:
a) they click on clickme.html or clickme.exe etc
or
b)the CD autostarts and opens the browser window with the index of the "site"
Thanks!

Another option might be to use something like wget or htdig to just
rip through the whole site and generate a static site out of it...
I did something like that once for an educational CD, except I just
wrote the generator myself. I'm not sure wget existed back then, and
I'm pretty sure htdig didn't...
Had to put a bit of stuff into JavaScript for the "quiz" portion, but
it worked fairly well.

Well, you are in luck then. Our system happens to be a fully fledged
e-learning system that does exactly that! :)

Firefox launches on CD start and the elearning system is there and ready
to go in the context (course) of your choosing.
Check out http://elearn.uwc.ac.za/ as one of our e-learning site, and
http://avoir.uwc.ac.za for project details as well as mailing lists.
On an aside, we also are building a site of downloadable free
courseware, http://freecourseware.uwc.ac.za and if you are releasing the
courses as free, I would really like to add it in there, as well as make
it a demo downloadable course. A lot of our African partners (16
countries) roll out in primary schools, and I think that your stuff
could be really useful to them.

Hi.
In the stuff I do almost all the HTML is generated with PHP as basically
none of it is static (lots of tabular data, state-sensitive links, stuff
like that).
Am I crazy to make an extra effort in my code to make the generated HTML
pretty? By this I mean linebreaks, indentation etc. - stuff that is aimed
at readability rather than correctness. This is obviously above and beyond
simply making sure it validates. It's not a huge burden by any means, but
it *is* extra effort.
What do you guys do?
Looking forward to your replies.

If you are laying out your PHP and HTML correctly, decent readability
is not that difficult.
I don't sweat it when PHP "eats" a newline or tab for the first/last
element in a series (LI or TR or TD or...)
But I'd go *nuts* if "View Source" was all wonky.
Just because it validates doesn't mean you actually have the
layout/content that you want. :-)
And not being able to read your own HTML source will bite you in the
butt eventually.
I do wish that I had more control over the various "pretty" printing
tools for "View Source" so I could get the HTML to be indented the way
I want it...
A simple "diff" between actual HTML output and prettied up HTML from,
say, Tidy, would be pretty nifty -- I probably could have saved myself
10 hours a month, on average, in the past 10 years if I had that...
:-)

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a mailform and it's kind of working but I still have 2
problems:
1) I can't get the From header right, when I receive the test mail the sender
is apache
2) The BCC headers (there's more then one) are not stripped.
Here's my script:
/* haal de gegevens op */
$to=$_POST['to'];
$bcc=$_POST['bcc'];
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$bericht=$_POST['bericht'];
/* maak van de bcctjes een array en bouw hier de bcc headers van */
$bcc_array = explode (",", $bcc);
for ($n = 0; $n < count($bcc_array); $n++)
{
$bcclist=each($bcc_array);
$bccheaders = $bccheaders . "bcc:" . $bcclist[value] . "\r\n";
}
/*Nu gaan we een aantal headers bekijken en toevoegen.*/
$headers .= "To: $to \r\n";
/* from adres */
$headers .= "From: $mainmail \r\n";
/*Deze twee headers zorgen ervoor dat je een bericht met HTML kan
toevoegen*/
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
/*Deze header zorgt ervoor dat als er een fout is ontstaan bij het
versturen
van een mailtje, dat je kan aangeven naar welke e-mailadres de fout/error
gestuurd wordt.*/
$headers .= "Return-Path: $mainmail\r\n";
/*Deze header zorgt ervoor dat als ontvangers een reply terug willen
sturen
naar jou, dat hun reactie naar dit adres wordt terug gestuurd.*/
$headers .= "Reply-To: $mainmail\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP" . phpversion() ."\r\n";
$headers = $headers . $bccheaders;
mail($to, $subject, $bericht, $headers);
echo "Mail met onderwerp $subject is verstuurd naar $bcc en
$mainmail";
Thanks

I have not found a satisfactory way of doing this yet!!!!
$text = $_REQUEST['text_size'];
if ($text) {
echo $text;
}
I send the $text_size variable to the browser with lines like...
<a href="<? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?text_size=small" class="size1"
id="one">A</a>
When the page initially loads I get a undefined index error as it does not
exist but is there a way of wrapping in in a switch statement or funtion so
the variable is only used when $_REQUEST['text_size']; actually exists.
