cURL is one of the best ways to do it since it provides a fairly high
level interface for performing page retrieval via GET or POST. You can
also do it using sockets but that's lower level and probably less
efficient due to the way cURL encapsulates low level communication
within the C layer.

You probably need cookies. Read about the following cURL options and see
if they change things for you:
CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR
CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
Alternatively there may be other issues at play. Perhaps an onclick()
even in JavaScript or something else.
Cheers,
Rob.

I had trouble with this also running php 5.1.2 and now 5.2.1. But I got
the hang of it to the point
that I have mostly abandoned xml and flat files for temporary files and
quick and dirty data bases
that can just be included for their content. I do not remember what I
did that got it going but it is
definitely possible, almost spooky. You certainly do not want any user
supplied content written to
a php file as variable values or anything without being completely
sanitized.
I also had trouble opening and modifying html files but got the hang of
that too.
I am running Apache 1.3.x on FreeBSD 6.0, 6.2, Mac OSX, and Yellow Dog
Linux.
Keep trying...I had to.

I just do $fp = fopen('so_and_so.php', 'w+'); // the 'w+' is necessary
for creating files that do not exist and writing to them, just 'w'
requires the file to exist already.
fwrite($fp, "<?php\n(code)\n?>");
fclose($fp);
Also in my code editor, the closing php tag screws up the syntax
coloring but does not indicate a coding error, so
I do $close_tag = '?'.'>'; and in the fclose($fp,
"<?php\n(code)\n$close_tag ); and my editor will keep the syntax
coloring. (BBEdit)

hello,
could somebody give me some direction here.
i am trying to build a RSS 2.0 parser using DOM. what puzzles me is the
following -
i get the XML -
$RSS_XML = file_get_contents($params['uri']);
then i instantiate a DOM object -
$RSS_DOM = new DomDocument();
then i load the XML -
$RSS_DOM->loadXML($RSS_XML);
then i get the first node -
$NODE = $RSS_DOM->firstChild;
here $NODE->tagName is "rss", so far OK
but then if i get the first child of "rss", which is "channel" -
$NODE = $NODE->firstChild;
its type is not DomNode, but DomText.
Only the 2nd child -
$NODE = $NODE->nextSibling;
has $NODE->tagName "channel".
My question is - why is the first child after "rss" DomText?
Thank you,
Iv

i made a mistake when i say i can solve this problem to a friend.
finally i realize it is not as simple as i appear to be.
what he ask me to do is write a simple script that, given a word.. the
script will generate a list of words combinaton
from the each character in in that word. i am tired thinking.
to make it clear. i give a simple scenario. i don't have an idea what i
should name my baby.
so, i took my wife name and me and input to the script.(i want a name that
is from our name combination).
later the output will present many words that i can choose.
the input string can be of any length.
anyone have an idea?

Hi,
I just need a framework for administrating tables in a database. These are
simple add/edit/remove operations from tables.
Can you suggest a framework for this kind of job? Cause there are a lot of
tables and I hope I can find a nice tool to work with.
Thank you.

What database are you working with? phpMyAdmin is probably the most
ubiquitous when working with MySQL databases.
thnx,

The DB ist mysql.
No, you didn't understand me clearly.
I need a framework, toolkit, class call it how you want, with wich I develop
an application that administrates the data's in the database. Something like
Smarty but more specific for what I need.
The ideea is the following:
I have 20 tables that have data's in them. And these table data's must be
edited with this admin tool. There are very few joins but there are
references between the tables.
Regards,
Andy.

You could try MySQL TableEditor:
http://www.phpguru.org/static/TableEditor.html
It's a (big) one file class which is good for editing the tables, though
it's not phpMyAdmin; you can't "administer" the database.

Hi!
My php project would get a much cleaner code if I could set cookies
anywhere in the code. So I thought of output buffering. But I can't find
any articles on the cons of output buffering. I mean it most be a reason
for it being off by default?
Kind Regards Emil Edeholt

Cons of output buffering:
- teeeeeeeency weency time overhead
- memory overhead since buffered content remains in memory
until flushed.

Rob.

Compared to the time taken to flush to the client more often? This is
incorrect in most cases, and even when it's not it really really is
"teeeeeeeency weency".

Indeed, but memory is cheap and you're likely to run out of memory for
other reasons waaaaay before output buffering causes it.

Agreed, I was hard pressed to come up with cons in the first place :)

Modern browsers often start partially rendering HTML as soon as it
arrives rather than waiting for the page to load completely.
Obviously, if you're waiting until the end of the script before
actually sending any HTML, they can't do that so your page might
appear less responsive.

These two reasons are in fact of little impact.
The real problem I have with output buffering in my web app is that it
doesn't handle .xls and .pdf files generated on the fly with PHP. Every
time the browser is going to download those kind of files it will get
corrupted.
The only solution I could find for this was to disable output buffering.
Another thing: you can even compress the buffer before sending it so it
will help a lot if a user have little bandwidth. Text files have a very
good compression ratio.
Cheers,
-William
