Support for php4 will be dropped at the end of the year so hosts will be
forced to make the upgrade at some point.

There are at least 117,223 hosting companies that are still using PHP4.
Unless they already have an upgrade project going, a single user is
unlikely to convince them to start one.

As a whole, I think you'll find the 4-5 transition easy. Possible
issues: the xsl extension, which was changed from saxon to libxml, and
the Mailparse extension also caused us some grief. We rewrote the code
to use the new xsl stuff, and somehow we also managed to get Mailparse
installed.

What will force them to do so? Lack of support is unlikely to have any
effect.

Hmm 117,223 hosts with php4 only support. Did you actually checked how many
have php5 support? Many more. You have hundreds of thousands of choices. And
the pricing has quite leveled in the last period or the differences in price
are absolutely minor. I don't see a reason to stay with one that only supports
php4. After all, changing the adress-ip link on dns is free and it will
propagate in a few hours.

I think the real question is.... will listservs (like this one) stop
supporting people running applications on PHP4 in 98 days (
http://gophp5.org/)? I'm not saying we should outcast *those people* who
haven't transitioned, but will the process speed up if a community puts
their foot down? Is this how it will be..................
[example question]
I'm running PHP4 and blah blah blah...
[example response]
Oh, I noticed you said PHP4. Sorry, upgrade, then we'll support...
Just a thought...

Update your code so it works for both PHP4 and PHP5. Then you can
actually make the move whenever you please regardless of what hosting
companies are offering.

Rob.

Won't hear me making that statement. But then I'm not a snob to PHP4 :)

There are 178.112 hosters that have PHP5 support. I checked.

Nobody suggested that you do - especially if you need PHP5. If however
you don't have a specific requirement for PHP5, why would you move?

Where and how did you check? Compiling such stats is rather hit or miss, and
the numbers most people quoted until now I have decided are simply wrong.
I have a hard time believing that there are 300,000 different commercial web
hosting companies out there. That many servers, sure, but companies?

You can:
define('LF', "\n");
then
echo 'A newline' . LF;

if you were going to do that you may as well use PHP_EOL
its cross-platform and doesnt require an define directive.

In general, I try to think of single quotes as being literal and
double quotes as being interpreted.
In that case, we expect 'some line\t with a tab, a variable {$obj-
>member}, and a newline\n' to produce exactly:
some line\t with a tab, a variable {$obj->member}, and a newline\n
Yet, the same thing in double quotes:
some line with a tab, a variable foo, and a
newline
As a result, I use single quotes whenever I can. Otherwise, double.

Hi,
Begining using the php5 mysql functions and want to know what is the point of
preparing/binding the data before I insert it?
$prep = $mysqli->prepare ("INSERT INTO cd (cdid,title,artist) VALUES
('0',?,?)");
$prep->bind_param ('22',$title,$artist);

It's a performance measure - by preparing sql statements, you save on
the parsing and the network traffic. Unless you're doing lots of
database transactions per second, I doubt if you'll notice it.

If you're making just one insert; it's probably not the best
approach. However, if you're inserting multiple rows, benchmarks
have shown that preparing a statement and binding the params is
faster. Also, with mysqli, you can strictly define types for fields
and remove the step of validation -- so they say. I'd rather not try
{} catch{} a query and give an error on failure... so, I prepare the
data as I test its validity anyway.

With a prepared statement, you can use mysqli_get_metadata() to get
information about the columns of the result that statement will
generate, without having to actually execute the statement (or parse it
yourself).
This comes in really handy if you have dynamically generated SQL and
need to know what the names/types of the columns are going to be before
you execute it.
Mysqli_get_metadata() also includes info on the original names and
tables of the columns (if they have been aliased) and what their types
are. This is great for generating multi-table insert statements from
dynamically generated SQL queries.

Hi,
I am still having poblems with the php5 functions. I have 4 variables in
each. What is the problem?
Warning: mysqli_stmt::bind_param() [function.mysqli-stmt-bind-param]: Number
of elements in type definition string doesn't match number of bind variables
in xxxx on line 21
$prep = $mysqli->prepare ("UPDATE events SET title=?, date=?, content=?,
imageUrl=?");
$prep->bind_param ( $_POST['title'], $_POST['date'], $_POST['content'],
$_POST['imageUrl']);
thanks,
H.

--- Begin Message ---
The PHP docs show:
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO CountryLanguage VALUES
(?, ?, ?, ?)");
$stmt->bind_param('sssd', $code, $language, $official, $percent);
for usage. Your $prep->bind_param() doesn't seem to include the
definitions. 'sssd' in the above example, string, string, string,
decimal. Further, you should probably make sure that your $_POST
data is set and isn't null or a variable type other than what is
expected.

Zoltan,
If you're using preg_replace(), where are your start and stop
characters for the pattern and subject?
$szoveg = preg_replace('/'.$mit.'/','/'.$mire.'/',$dokumentum);
You could otherwise try ereg_replace(); without the slashes, or do
an htmlentities($dokumentum);.

Zoltan,

$szoveg = preg_replace('/'.$mit.'/','/'.$mire.'/',$dokumentum);
You could otherwise try ereg_replace(); without the slashes, or do

Look again and you will notice that $mit and $mire are both arrays.
Also, the starting and stopping points are in the $mit array elements.
The starting and stopping points are not allowed in the $mire array.
This was the offending line in the code. I removed the e from the modifiers list and it started
working. See if you can run the code without it.
'/<strong[^>]*>(.*?)<\/strong>/i', // <strong>
you missed your closing option
'/<\/?p[^>]*>/i', // <P>
or maybe you should have a different entry to remove the </p> and replace it
with nothing.
this
'/<p[^>]*>/i', // <P>
that
"\n\n\t",
this
'/<\/p[^>]*>/i', // </P>
that
'',
Side note, you might want to look into using the '+' instead of the '*'.
'+' = must be one or more
'*' = 0 or more
In some of the cases here, I see where this can bite you in the butt later.

// writing to some static file
}elseif(some unfinished statement){
fwrite($dynfile, "$path\n");
}else{
// writing to some static file
}
}
I just... nothings keeping me from sorting the the dynfile after writing,
but also that seems to do the job twice instead of doing it correct the
first time.

I am trying to figure out what you are trying to do here.
The code is for recursiving directory structure.
Starting at a given location
Ok, so, let me get this straight.
You want the ability to display alphabetically, the files/directories of a given directory and all
sub-directories?
Now, do you want this echo'ed to the screen, or saved in a file like you did in
your earlier example?
either way, the following code will help you I think.
<?php
function displayDirectory($path) {
$data = glob($path.'/*');
foreach ( $data AS $entry ) {
if ( in_array($entry, array('./', '../')) ) {
continue;
}
if ( is_dir($entry) ) {
displayDirectory($entry);
} else {
echo "{$entry}\n";
}
}
}
displayDirectory($_GET['location']);
