I have tried same file as cli and as webpage. I don't know why only
cli version works nicely. There may be some issue. But my technique
has some advantages. It can run command asynchronously. Thats what i
need for my application. I can create command queue. I and I can get
the completion percentage from there.
Whatever, I wish I could know those issues.
Rather it could happen that, php-apache framework is doing something
that I am unaware of.

Dear All
I have been using nusoap to development a client that makes SOAP calls
to a server. I have however been stuck on a small issue but can't
seem
to solve it and therefore I need to relook at using another package to
get a solution.
So I have read that PEAR also has a package that makes SOAP calls
(PEAR::SOAP). And there is PHP-SOAP.
Now Im running PHP 4.4xxx and I need to get this up and running ASAP.
What would you suggest I use as the package to make the client calls?
I have read that the PEAR::SOAP thing is fairly easy to use?
Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations or what not to use and
why?
I have fought with SOAP in PHP 5, and PHP 4, and I think maybe even
PHP 3 (shudder).
I've used nuSoap, and I think I used PEAR::SOAP once. I also tried to
use some other SOAP package once, I think, that failed miserably.
My recommendations:
#1
If you can move to PHP 5 and use the built-in SOAP there, do it ASAP.
It's like night and day.
#2
If you are stuck in PHP 4, try the PEAR::SOAP.
I believe it will handle the whatsit tag namespace-y thingie you are
getting with that <tag:0> business better than nuSoap, as I recall. I
won't swear to it in court, though, as I only use PEAR::SOAP once
before I moved to PHP 5 and my SOAP life was way way way cleaner.
Thanks Richard.
I've pretty much got it working with nuSoap but lack of documentation
and support makes it difficult to progress quickly and is very frustrating.

Hi!
Why is it so that I get this error. I'm using Windows Integrated
authorization-method for actual webb I'm testing on.

Because on line 2 of C:\www\utveckling\username.php an attempt is made
to access that variable or a key in an array by that name when the
variable (or key) does not exist. Probably the page wasn't requested
with any auth but the script expects it.
Cheers,
Rob.

Hmm, can only take a guess since we do not see what sets PHP_AUTH_USER,
but line 2 is trying to use it and it appears not to be set.

For some reason it's not getting set. This could be because you've not
configured IIS correctly, are you sure you've disabled anonymous
authentication?
If you're sure it's configured correctly try var_dump'ing $_SERVER -
it's possible (though unlikely) the username is in another place.

Hi!
Thanx!
I figured it out. The username wasn't in server-variable PHP_AUTH_USER but
in AUTH_USER ....

Dotan, try this:
$text="<p>First paragraph</p>\n<p>More text</p>\n<p>Some more
text</p>\n<p>End of story</p>";
$story = preg_replace('{(?=<p(?:>|\s)(?!.*<p(?:>|\s)))}is', "<p>new
paragraph goes here</p>\n", $text);
This matches a position that has an opening <p> tag (with or without
parameters), which is NOT followed anywhere in $text by another opening <p>
tag. The replacement string will be inserted at the matched position, which
will be directly before the last <p> tag. Not sure if this is the most
efficient regex, but it should get the job done. Let me know how it goes...
I'd also be interested to hear any comments on that regex's efficiency.

I'm curious as to how everyone organises and includes their classes in
PHP5. Let's take a simple example that has 3 classes: customer, order,
and database. The database class has a base sql db class (I know there
is PDO and other things but this class is already written and working)
and classes that inherit from the base class for dev, test, and prod,
passing the associated logins. The customer and order will both use the
appropriate database class depending on which environment its in (e.g.,
SalesDevDB, SalesTestDB, SalesProdDB).
I don't want to have to go into the customer and order class code and
change which db class it uses when I move it from dev to test and from
test to prod. What's the proper way to handle this? Or am I way off
base?
Could you just have 3 config files and use the appropriate one in each
environment?
The settings are in 'config.php'. When it's in dev:
cp dev.php config.php
when it's in test:
cp test.php config.php
I use a slightly different approach to prevent the need to mess about
with files when moving to production. At the end on config.php I have
this...
if (file_exists('config_dev.php'))
require 'config_dev.php';
In config_dev.php I override anything defined in config.php that needs
to be different on the current server. The config_dev.php file is *not*
in source control so it doesn't exist in production but each development
and test environment has a version that modifies the production environment.
There is a hit involved in the call to file_exists, but PHP caches it so
the effect is minimal.

one thing thats nice about java is it has a formal specification. so in
creating
alternative implementations they can be certified against the spec by sun.

unfortunately im a bit rusty w/ my c++; but looking a java the only way to
write
procedural code is to place it in a method called main inside of a class.
does that
count as procedural or does it count as oop ??
when i say oop paradigm i refer to the overall design of an application, or
framework.
said app consists largely of objects; each w/ a focused purpose, the methods
of
which are also small and have a focused purpose.
*sigh* i dont care to get into this debate again. in my mind its clear oop
is superior to
strictly procedural programming, but alas you are probably right. so whats
the use in
arguing ..?

source applications we use, bleeding edge development or
proof-of-concept applications.
Perks include being paid well to work on open source projects, free
gym membership, company stock options, health & dental insurance, and
don't forget pushing your development skills and knowledge in
different directions.
Requirements:
* Strong knowledge of PHP and PostgreSQL
* Some background in database design
* Ability to demonstrate more than a base level knowledge of XML,
XSL, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript
* Familiarity with Linux as a server or desktop
* Past experience with SVN or other version control systems
* Knowledge of C, C++ and other languages such as Ruby or Java a plus
* Should not be intimidated by doing things you haven't done before
* Solid work record with excellent references

Hello All,
I am looking for a simple PHP script that can generate Pie Chart based
on SQL query resultset.
I don't want a reporting system, as we are already using Crystal
Reports for that.
Any suggestions?

I've used the PHP classes one onces before, and used the one on hotscripts for
another project. There are some pay-for ones as well, but either of those 2
should give you a good starting point even if you want to roll your own.

So I don't have to reinvent anything, does such a thing exist anywhere that
anyone knows of:
I'm looking for a php script that will read any xml file, display the
contents in html, with the option of adding an entry (in the same scheme,
whatever that might be) or deleting existing entries.
I think I could write this, but it would take a while.

Hi all,
I'm having a weird problem on my web hosting provider's server. I'm
using drupal with the image module and the image_pub module to upload a
series of pictures using Gallery Remote. This software uploads pictures
one after the other using a classic HTTP POST method.
The upload always succeeds, but the problem I have is that
move_uploaded_file() randomly fails.
open_basedir is set to /home/
DOCUMENT_ROOT is /home/myuser
upload_tmp_dir is set to ./tmp-php/, which exists is /home/myuser and
has full 777 permission
the script is called from the DOCUMENT_ROOT directory: /test.php which
is in fact /home/myuser/test.php
In the script, just before calling move_uploaded_file, I created a file
in the current directory with debug values in it. It is indeed created
in the DOCUMENT_ROOT directory.
The errors I have are:
First, 2 times:
move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: open_basedir
restriction in effect. File(/var/tmp/phpNN2JDd) is not within the
allowed path(s): (/home/)
then:
move_uploaded_file(/var/tmp/phpNN2JDd) [function.move-uploaded-file]:
failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move
'/var/tmp/phpNN2JDd' to 'files/tmp/res-2108703551.jpg'
When it succeeds, the file is correctly uploaded in ./tmp-php. When it
fails, it goes to /var/tmp although upload_tmp_dir is still set to
"./tmp-php/". is_uploaded_file() returns true even when
move_uploaded_file() fails.
What seems really strange to me is that it fails *randomly*. It works
for a couple of picture, then fails, then succeeds again, etc.
My web hosting provider doesn't really seem to care about such problems,
so if I can point out this is a PHP bug and ask them for an update, it
would be great.

Hi!
I can't figure the thing with Windows Integrated authentication... I have
checked a website for doing this. I still have to enter username and
password even if I'm on the local computer (through a VPN though) This would
be the same as using computer locally on the network, but I have to enter
username and password. I'm sure I have checked the "Windows Integreated
authenication" - checkbox for the website it's about.
When I have entered username and password I can go on and do whatever I want
on that site...
I've tested with both IE6, and IE7. What could be the problem?

Transparent authentication between IE and IIS may not work over a VPN
depending on a huge number of factors, but mainly how the VPN server has
been configured.
Does it work when on the same network as the web server and AD server?
