We have our own dedicated server that we host client sites on. If I
were to back out into the root then I would be at the level of all the
other sites. It just doesn't make sense in my case.

Then you haven't set up your directories properly, IMHO.
Let's say you want all of your client web directories under
/var/www/vhosts. Create a dir for each client and set up each of your
DocumentRoots as a dir inside of that one. This way all of your clients
now have a directory above their web root that they can place into
anything they want to keep private.
/var/www/vhosts/client_[1 .. n]/htdocs

I didn't set it up. It is how things have been and will continue to
be regardless of my opinion. :)
I use this type of structure for my virtual hosting:
domainname.com
--> cgi-bin (CGI and Perl scripts here)
--> error_docs (Custom error pages here. 400, 401, 403, 404 & 500
templates already in place)
--> ftp (Holds virtual FTP user information along with a data directory
for ftp only upload/downloads)
--> htdocs (the website)
--> logs (the site log file)
--> other (where all non-web accessible files/directories/etc go)
Even if they where to go above the domainname.com folder it would just
lead them to /home/user anyways and the FTP server locks them into their
home directories. This allows one user to control multiple domains under
his account.
The beauty about the "other" directory is that you can store anything
you need there. I put hidden .password directories for htaccess
authentication files, attachments for email, data files for things I
don't want web accessible.

All,
I looked on PHP.net but I couldn't not find anything suitable to answer my
question.
Within PHP, is there a way to pull the name of the user that is currently
logged into the PC?
I know with some of the _SERVER functions you can pull the IP of the
machine
and other data, is there a function within this family that would work?
Thanks,
Dan
What operating system is being run on this personal computer?
Who is running the PHP script?
Is the PHP script being run from a web page or the command line?
On a Mac, if I run phpinfo from a command line script, I see my user name in
6 entries with variants of USER and LOGNAME.
If the user was logged into a PHP web page with say htaccess or a custom
HTML Form, I could see the name he logged in with.

If you're running your PHP script on IIS, maybe. Use print_r():
<?php
print_r($_SERVER);
?>

Does the font you're using support Chinese characters? Are the

How *are* the characters coming through in $_GET?

echo $_GET[...]; is fine.

Using the built-in fonts will not give you Chinese character support.
You need to either build your own font, or find a True Type font that
does have the character set you require, and use the image ttf
functions instead.

Hi all,
I agree with Jim,
for start you can play with .htaccess and ModRewrite module.
for more information see apache docs or you can also check out how in
httpd.conf accessing .htaccess from clients browser is limited and you can
use the same code for all of your .xml and .xslt files.

Dear Mister Minka,
in the attachment of this file, you will find a complete example for
the problem, decscribed.
There are two working examples, and the main example which is not
working.
Could you please be so kind in between to tell me who you are, because
I couldn't find any mails in the php general list or in the memcache
list which have been written from your mail account.
If your are able to correct the error, please send me a patched version.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Sascha Braun

Is there a way to create ODF files with php? I don't see anything in
the manual. I would rather use the open ODF standard than proprietary
PDF for distributing documents. Plain text files are inappropriate for
the layout we need, and html is inappropriate for the distribution.
Thank you.

Ah, so you are saying that by pirating software/books/music you are
creating market competition, which drives the producers to produce
higher quality content at affordable prices. I feel so stupid that I
didn't see it that way from the beginning.

I have a PHP script, as follows:

As expected, the browser shows nothing,
but when I view Source in the browser, I see:
<!-- start HTML comment
should this be echoed ?-->
Shouldn't it be just: <!-- -->, without the echo result ?
I don't expect PHP to be active between <!-- -->.

No, you're expecting something wrong.
A <!-- ... is a HTML Comment which has nothing to do with the
PHP Script execution on server side. Server sided php
code execution is only bound to <? indicators.

Taking a moment to explain the WHY of what's happening should help
you understand it a bit more, Cor. All HTML markup - including
comments - is parsed on the browser side, while PHP is done on the
server side. The server doesn't parse HTML at all, and PHP doesn't
have any knowledge of it's position within a script, or what else
exists outside of the <? ?> tags. Thus, PHP is parsed, compiled, and
executed prior to the web server serving the end-result as pure HTML,
which is then parsed by the browser upon receipt.
