Maybe I'm being dense, but why not set it to what you want it to be?
Clearing it is leaving the decision up to the browser which will not
necessarily have the effect you want for all users.
Incidentally, it might not be possible if Apache is setting it. Not
sure if PHP has the ability to override headers being sent by Apache.
The two have different effects. The Expires: header proclaims that the
page is good for x hours/minutes/days etc. Whereas the browser can use
the Last-Modified header to figure the staleness for itself. If its
newer than the copy it has, it needs to download the newer copy.
I'm well-aware of what the headers are for, but you can construct expiry
headers that match the last-modified header. As I said I'm fairly
certain you will not be able in PHP to remove a header added by Apache.
Given that you can't get rid of it your best option is to set it to a
value that will minimise its effect.
Why can't you modify the Apache configuration to prevent it from adding
this header? If not in httpd.conf then in a .htaccess file. If your host
won't let you do that, switch to someone who will.

Sorry, I didn't articulate what I meant very well. What I meant was that
you know the churn rate of your pages, so put in sensible expiry headers
based on that info.
But the better way to solve it is to edit the Apache configuration to
stop it putting the headers in in the first place. Why can't you do that?

Unfortunately I can't foresee when the pages are changed (it won't be me
who changes them).

I could. I just don't know how to unset a header.

Hello to everybody,
I have this problem with downloading files via PHP. For illustration - I
am using this fragment of code:
<?php
header("Content-type: $contenttype; name=\"$outputfilename\"");
header("Content-disposition: form-data; filename=\"$outputfilename\"");
$fp=fopen($filename,'r');
while (!FEof($fp)):
$filedata.=fread($fp,8192);
endwhile;
fclose($fp);
echo $filedata;
?>
The problem is, that the file on server has 16857 bytes and saved file
has 16858. In another case downloaded file has everytime 1 byte more
than the original file on server.
When I put JPEG or ZIP forexample to output, there is no problem with
opening file like this. Bud when I am trying .docx (Office2007 file
format) it occures mistake during opening this file in MSOffice...
Can anybody helps me with this problem? Why is the file size increasing
one byte? Whitch byte it is?
Thanks a lot!

Probably that whitespace after your last ?>
What I would recommend is to just leave off the last ?>, it's not
required and by not adding it you won't see those annoying problems with
whitespaces causing corrupt data.

Thanks a lot. However there wasn't any visible whitespace in code,
leaving of ?> helped... I haven't known, that it is not required :o).

I agree.
Also a much simpler way of outputting a file that doesn't use up memory,
is just to replace:
$fp=fopen($filename,'r');
while (!FEof($fp)):
$filedata.=fread($fp,8192);
endwhile;
fclose($fp);
echo $filedata;
With:
readfile($filename);

DOMDocument::loadCharacterEntitiesFromDtd($path);
I like to load character entities (not whole document type definition).
When I try to do that by creating my own DTD with only character
entities, and setting resolveExternals to true, then DTD parser
complains that it didn't occur root definition.
The proposed method, if called before DOMDocument::load/loadXML(), would
get character entities from DTD (and its modules) and apply them during
parsing XML. If called multiply, or if XML contains a DTD reference,
entities put before would be overwritten.

A day or two is not a long time and some things are not cut and dry,
requiring a little time to think about it. If you want to override the
DTD, you should look at using catalogs or create a custom stream handler
to alter the XML document as it is parsed.

You could try using exec to set up an "AT" job with a short delay which will
then run 'net apache restart' - I'm not a total windows guru so I can't give you
the exact recipe...
Something like exec('AT 12:00 "net apache restart"');
Check the documentation on the AT command...
One possible extra advantage is that you could cancel the 'AT' job during the
delay period if you clicked restart by accident :)

What we do is setup 'sudo' to run certain commands (or a shell/ruby script
for example), then have PHP/Apache exec() the script via sudo (or use a DBUS
call to a 'root' enabled ruby daemon), which then restarts apache or
whatever we want.
Be VERY careful with the way you do this or you can give crackers all kinds
of ways to cause you pain.
For example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# cat /etc/sudoers
Cmnd_Alias CHMOD = /bin/chmod
Cmnd_Alias REBOOT = /sbin/reboot, /sbin/shutdown
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/date, /sbin/hwclock,
REBOOT, /usr/bin/dpkg, /usr/sbin/chpasswd,
/usr/bin/passwd, /usr/sbin/srvwatch,
/usr/sbin/srvtalk
Then in the PHP web page:
exec("/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/reboot");

DOH!. I'm sorry I didn't read the fact that this was on Windows. My bad...
Um. Out of curiosity, why would you run LAMP as WAMP? It just seems so
wrong. Not to start an OS religion war, I use XP all day long, but I would
never use it as my dedicated web server -- that's why God invented
Unix/Linux. Best tool for the job and all that stuff... You're just asking
for all kinds of headaches and limitations (such as the one you're
encountering now) by using the back of a screwdriver to hammer a nail

Hello Everone,
I want to run a script in php which should execute at particular condition and
if the condition is true then it will send out emails to the recipients.
Can anyone suggest how can I achieve this.
Thanx,

Without spending a whole lot of brain cells at the moment, I'd say
run it through a cron task (or 'at' task if you're on a Win32 platform).

Hi again all,
Has anyone on this had succees setting up php to use suexec?
If I am reading things right, it appears that php must be run as CGI and
then it will use the built in (Apache2) suexec wrapper in the same fassion
as perl does.
If the above is correct I am looking for a primer on how to set this all up.
TIA,

Not sure if this would help or not but when ever I've done anything
with $_POST variables or other array variables I have to specify it
like $_POST['option'] notice the ' in around the word 'option'
Hope it helps!

Turn notices on. You will then get lots of notices about the use of an
undefined constant "option".
You should be using $_POST['option'] instead - notice the quotes.
Your HTML should really have double quotes around the attributes but
that's beyond the scope of this list.

A couple changes:
echo "you selected: <br>";
// Check to see that the value exists. If no options are checked, this
will be false.
if (array_key_exists('option', $_POST)) {
// include the quotes as already mentioned
foreach ($_POST['option'] as $a)
{
echo $a;
}
} else {
echo 'nothing';
}

He's still going to get an invalid argument warning though since PHP
will automatically convert the unquoted key to a string and then look up
the value. The problem is that the value doesn't exist or is not an
array as expected.

Turn notices on. You will then get lots of notices about the use of an
undefined constant "option".
You should be using $_POST['option'] instead - notice the quotes.
Your HTML should really have double quotes around the attributes but
that's beyond the scope of this list.

Yeah, thats the problem I'm having for some reason. When I do:
print_r($_POST['option']);
it prints nothing.

Try resetting the array first, you may be at the end of the array;
reset($_POST);
print_r($_POST);

It's usually more informative to see everything that was posted so you
might have more of an idea what may have went wrong:
print_r( $_POST );
Cheers,
Rob.

Simple question: did you check any of the boxes before submitting? If
not, then it's the reason of this error... The array does not appear in
the posted variables as a not-checked checkbox is not submitted along.
But all the other comments of this thread are to be taken into account
as well ( $_POST['option'], trying to print_r($_POST), ...)

Good point. Has the OP checked any of the boxes? If not then that array
will not exist in $_POST.

Change to: <input type="checkbox" name="option[]" value="..." />...<br/>
Someone mentioned this earlier, but I thought I'd reiterate. I'm not sure
how the browser will deal with *arrays* that aren't quoted. It's very good
practice to explicitly tell what is what - don't let the browser interpret
as it wants to. (Side note: the / at the ends are for XHTML - they're
optional if only using HTML.)

Also, AFAIK, PHP has always thrown a warning or notice if you use
foreach() on a non-associative array. That doesn't mean it won't work,
but the strict standard is apparently:
foreach ($assoc as $key => $val)
not
foreach ($indexed as $item)
However, as we all know, the latter still works fine.
Despite the warning/notice you see, the code is probably still working
as expected (any other problems aside). If you like to keep error
reporting on, you can just use an @ to suppress that error.

PHP arrays are always associative:
> cat array.php
#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
error_reporting( E_ALL );
$a = array( 1, 2, 3 );
$b = array( 'a', 'b', 'c' );
$c = array( 1, '2', 'x' );
print_r( $a );
print_r( $b );
print_r( $c );
> ./array.php
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
)
Array
(
[0] => a
[1] => b
[2] => c
)
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => x
)

What strict standard? The manual shows either use being legal:
http://php.net/foreach

Errors should be handled not suppressed.

At current stage I have two servers installed, whereby the first one
does all, but the second is a database server.
I need to install on different location a server pair, which should work
together, fail-fall-over, ...
The idea is to have in the dns for the servers:
abc.example.com <== general term
tw.abc.example.com <== redirected to, if the user is closer to Taiwan
de.abc.example.com <== redirected to, if the user is closer to Germany
abc will be in my office (10Mbps), tw.abc & de.abc are server
co-location with each 150 Mbps.
The database server is connected to the web server via second Ethernet
port and a private IP (192.168.x.x) via cross over cable.
The other ethernet port of the web server is connected to the Internet
(either through another ADSL, like at my office) or to like the web
server directly to the Internet HUB.
The mySQL servers should be set-up as a cluster server and should work
together within a VPN.
Questions:
1. Any hints on above configuration?
2. Has anybody experience with a cluster mysql?
3. How to get the web servers working with the closest connection
(according to the users IP) ?
4. How do I get info about the users IP (within the web server) to
provide startup settings, like Time zone & so time of the user,
language, country, ... ?
5. How to make it fail-fall-over if one of the server (web and/or
database server!) is not working?
Thanks for you input!
