Order exists all around us. I only need to look around me to see the
order that exists. A desk, a table, the structure of crystals, etc, etc.
Random on the other hand is the one to be proven. I look around and I
can also see disorder, but is it random, or is it just messy order. THAT
is the question.
Cheers,
Rob.

Once again, we're not trying to prove order. Order obviously exists. But
does random? Do the laws of physics randomly change? Just because we're
wrong about something doesn't change the machine. The machine is the
same, our understanding is the only thing that has changed. Even if the
machine changes has it done so randomly? Or according to some rule?
Anyways, this thread could go on forever. Order obviously exists, our
interpretation of what causes that order may be right or wrong, but it
doesn't change the existence of that order. That said we have no obvious
proof that random exists. Looking around I can't say look there, that
certainly is random. All I can say is that it is seemingly random, it
appears very disordered "to me".
I'm going to bail on this thread now... it's gone on too long :) Fun
though. Where's Crayon?
Cheers,
Rob.

bla bla bla. neither can ever be proven. proof implies objective truth, given
that everything is subjectively experienced there can be no proof ... one could
wander into the realms of spirituality and presume for one moment there is a
single, indivisible self-realized entity which I would suggest presupposes that
neither order nor randomness nor chaos exists .. in order to have any of those
requires more than one entity to be present.
now the fact that *you* percieve this one indivisible, self-realised entity as
fragmented ... is your problem. :-)
personally I think you should waste less time on such things and take your wife
out for dinner or something ;-)

OK, I've read every message on the list for the last year that contains
'sessions'. I've read through (bleary eyed, admittedly)
http://us2.php.net/session. And I swear, honest, that I had this working on
another box (which is no longer available to me.) I've checked phpinfo -
session support is on, session.use_cookie is On. PHP 5.1.6 or thereabouts.
<?php session_start();
session_save_path('/home/rob//Sites/zphpsessions');
echo 'sessionid:'.session_id().':<br>';
echo 'save path:'.session_save_path().':<br>';
$ip = ' '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo '$ip is:'.$ip.':<br>';
$_SESSION['ipx']=$ip;
echo 'ipx (session) is:'.$_SESSION['ipx'].':<br>';
if (!isset($_SESSION['ipx'])) echo 'whoa nelly';
echo 'This is the main page';
?>
Output looks like this:
sessionid:8klvud4o186lme7n6v84lhfjl2:
save path:/home/rob/Sites/zphpsessions:
$ip is: 127.0.0.1:
ipx (session) is: 127.0.0.1:
This is the main page
No data is being dumped into /home/rob/Sites/zphpsessions. The best I can
guess is permissions. If I change save_path to /tmp, no difference - still
nothing being written there. I bet I'm doing something ignorant about apache
users or something, huh?

You need to set the session_save_path before you call session_start.

Aw crap. :)
(session_save_path BEFORE session_start.)

From my main table, I need to exclude records that have certain
fields that are null or empty; and then sort the final result.

Zoltán:
Ok, here's the problem.
I have a table with over 5000 records.
There is no index (not my dB) and the records are not complete.
There is a numeric product_id field, but in the dB this is not in sequence.
Some records have a product_id, but no product_name.
I need to travel the dB showing each item in
order (product _id) and excluding those products
that have no product_name.
That sounds simple enough, but currently for each
step the entire table gets sorted (unless I'm
doing it wrong).
I was thinking that I could:
1. Create a temporary table.
2. Sort the table once.
3. Remove the records that have no product_name
4. And then just travel the temporary table for the duration of the script.
5. Drop the table when done with it.
Now, what's wrong with my thinking?
Cheers,
tedd

This is what you reeeeeeally want IMHO:
ALTER TABLE theTable ADD INDEX( product_id );

tedd,
I have multiple tables in a mysql db that have over 1.3 million indexed
records, and selecting the latest 60 records is quick as a bunny, so 5000
records should be a piece of cake.
Also, there is no guarantee of record order in a result set without an order
by clause, which obviously affects sorting.
Rob's suggestion should certainly improve performance.

There are much prettier, cleaner, more efficient ways of doing it,
I'm sure, but if you're banging your head off the wall just vying for
a simple solution, MySQL can handle the ~5,001 queries without issue.

Hi all!
I've read a bit about PHP session timeout. Is it configurable?? I mean,
If i want user logged out after 10 minutes of innactivity... where i can
to set it up?? Is it possible to expire session configuring php.ini.
I know i will have to write code to do whatever when the session expires...
Thank you in advance

There are various configuration options for this (which you change in
the php.ini or by using the ini_set() function):
session.gc_maxlifetime
session.cookie_lifetime

If you change them in your php.ini don't forget you'll need to restart
your web server.

You could always just set you own cookie that expires after 10 min. Have your

if its still valid.

You can simulate that, because not always you'll be able to do "init_set"
You can save in a session var the TTL (time to live)
$_SESSION['TTL'] = time() + TIMEOUT;
Then before do anything you see if the session is still valid
if ( $_SESSION['TTL'] < time() ) close_session();
I hope this be helpful for you!

Try gzuncompress();
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't gzuncompress used for 'gzip'
files? Although they both use the same compression, gzip is specific
to files and has header information not present in straight zlib
data. And as I've mentioned, this is a normal file, not compressed --
I'm just trying to read and decompress pieces of data within the file,
which according to the documentation is something zlib does.
I assume that most people use these functions for entire files, but
surely someone has used it the other way as well?
Thanks for any info.

I looked and found a way to turn off buffering for stream *writes*,
but not for stream reads. Can anyone help with ideas for why this
isn't working? I posted questions to comp.lang.php and received no
response.
If all else fails, you could just not use the fancy-pants new stream
and filter functions, and just use http://php.net/zlib directly on
the
file.
Sorry Richard for the double mail, I didn't have the list cc'd
before...
How could I do that? I thought the only way to use zlib in PHP was
through the stream functions.
It's also possible your zlib file is just plain corrupt, and neither
will work...
But I am getting the error before I start to read -- it is not a
zlib 'file', it is a stretch of data within
an ordinary file that has been compressed with zlib.
Thanks
