Thanks for the Google Tip.
That is what I will use. Much easier as I don't think we will have 5,000 sites.

Hi
Sorry if this is considered off topic, but do you know of any code
examples/libs with a flash/php file uploader with progress bar?
I've googled for a while but the scripts I find won't work. I'm using
Firefox 2 and Flash player 9 on an intel Mac if that tells you anything?
Or should I ask somewhere else?
Thanks for your time.
Emil
The problem with having a "real" progress bar with PHP is that by default
PHP does not have a callback function so you won't know the status of the
uploaded file until it's complete.
PHP5.2.0 has this built in, see changelog:
http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.2.0
and an example Rasmus previously posted:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=116265912901212&w=2
It's still ajax but the hooks are now built into php rather than an
external unsupported patch.

Hello,
Can someone tell me what wrong or to how to manage this?
//default
$limitorig = 10;
echo "<select name=\"USRlimitorig\">";
echo "<option selected value=>$limitorig</option>";
echo "<option>10</option>";
echo "<option>20</option>";
echo "<option>30</option>";
echo <input type=\"submit\" name=\"resetlimit\" value=\"GO\">";
When the form is first printed the selected default (10) value is shown OK
and if something is selected everything is fine. If I just hit "GO" without
changing the select menu the form fails because USRlimitorig will be empty.
So how to post the $limitorig if user doesn't change it but hits "GO"
anyway?
Thanks

firstly its better to use <option value='10'> 10 </option>
this might also solve your problem if I understand your question correctly.

^^ what do you think $_POST['USRlimitorig'] will
be if you select the first option?

I am creating a PHP/mySQL site that enables members to set criteria for
email notification
As my site changes and clients criteria are met they need to be
notified.
I can generate a list of email address and info quite simply using mySQL
My question is how to "trigger" or initiate this process as I am a bit
weary of using cron
Can anyone suggest how I can automate this using PHP ?
Many thanks

Colin,
First, you need to established when and what triggers this actions.
As for the solution I would usually go through these steps :
- Create a shell PHP script to execute the emailing routine. Such script would
maintain a log of when it was last executed and some other status info, this can
be through a text file of MySQL database. This script can also be used with cron
if you desire or decide to switched back to a more reliable solution :)
- On another script (one that is always called whena user request a page on your
site i.e. global.php). On this script checks the status of the shell script from
its logs, it will determine if IT'S TIME TO RUN THE SCRIPT AGAIN.
This is my oldschool solution :D . I'd still love to hear other's.
Regards,
Jervin

damn! that's a pretty good article, thanks a lot.
unfortunatelly, it's not mentioning about zip files concretely, I didn't
find a solution for my problem with them.
I tried playing a bit with the Content-type, but it seems that Internet
Explorer doesn't really care about "Content-type"... it uses the extention
of the file to determine the type (microsoft's way...) so it doesn't matter
if I use "application/octet-stream" or even "application/force-download" or
"application/makethisdownload-or-ikillyou" :-D as long as I name the file "
whatever.zip", IE6 shows the "open with" dialog and if I use "open" with an
application, it fails :(
thanks again Richard for the answer and for the article :)
anybody with a miracle for the ZIP+IE problem??

Hello,
I've been trying for a couple of times now but seems to not find the solution as
to why this error occurs.
I have Apache 1.3.37 installed on a Fresh CentOS 4.4 machine with this configure
line : ./configure -enable-module=so -enable-module=rewrite
I tried building PHP 4.4.4 using ./configure -with-mysql
-with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs but kept getting this error :
Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Possible reasons follow:
1. Perl is not installed
2. apxs was not found. Try to pass the path using --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs
3. Apache was not built using --enable-so (the apxs usage page is displayed)
The output of apxs follows:
./configure: line 5656: apxs: command not found
configure: error: Aborting
--
1. I have verified that Perl is installed perl -v
2. /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs does exists
3. I have configured apache to enable the so module.
Am I missing something?
TIA

A couple of suggestions:
* The options should start with a double minus, i.e. --with-mysql
not -with-mysql
* Are the permissions OK for axps and it's directory?

That's because ^ is not the end-of-string symbol -- it's the START-of-string
symbol. $ is the END-of string symbol. But the OP doesn't need either of
these symbols as he's not trying to match at the start or end of the string,
and nor does he need your suggested leading and trailing (.*?) for the same
reason. Unless anchored with ^ and/or $, preg is perfectly happy to match in
the middle of the subject string.
@Anthony: your pattern is fine -- it's what you're doing with it that's wrong.

I don't see how this is possible, since preg_match returns an integer telling
you how many times the pattern matched -- which will be 0 or 1, since
preg_match doesn't do multiple matches! You also clearly haven't given us your
actual call, since you've only included the pattern and not the subject string.
What you're after is the third argument to preg_match, which returns an array
of matched text; so for:
preg_match("/<div id=result_box> dir=ltr>(.+?)<\\/div>/", $orig, $matches);
$matches[0] will return the entire match (everything from "<div " to "</div>"
$matches[1] will return the first parenthesized expression, which is what
you're looking for.
Note also the doubled backslash, since you need to pass a single backslash
through to escape the / for preg_match. As an alternative, I would strongly
advise using a different delimiter, so that no escaping is needed; for instance:
preg_match("#<div id=result_box> dir=ltr>(.+?)</div>#", $orig, $matches);
Cheers!
Mike
