So you have the .htaccess file in the root dir alongside the index.php?
I just tested and this is working for me. What I posted rewrites
everything to index.php so if you have other php pages that are loaded
by the browser then you would need better rules in .htaccess.
To see more you might add the following and then check the log:
RewriteLog "/somepath/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 3

Hey All,
Can you guys tell me of a good open source package which does things like
craiglist/backpage etc?
Also has anyone had good success with PHPcalendar?
Thanks!

I won't address the main issue of your question, since it looks like that has
been solved. But I want to point out a few other things that might help you.
Follow along below...

So for some reason, arrays always mess me up... I don't know what it is,
but it just hasn't clicked yet... So I'm sure this is a simple question
for someone who knows and understands arrays :)
So with that being said here's the code I'm using:
$self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$i="0";
if (isset($_GET['txtNum'])) {
$numBox= $_GET['txtNum'];
$_SESSION['num'] = $_GET['txtNum'];
}else{
here you need to make sure that $_SESSION['num'] exists.
If not you will get a E_NOTICE warning level error.
So, you should have this
} else if ( isset($_SESSION['num']) ) {
$numBox = $_SESSION['num'];
}
And then follow up the previous thing with this else statement
} else {
echo 'no "num" set';
// AND / OR
$numBox = 0;
}
echo "store box variable". $_SESSION['num'];
echo <<<HTML
<form method="GET">
How many boxes? <input type="text" size="2" name="txtNum">
<BR>
<input type="submit"></form>
HTML;
$NumArray= Array($_POST['txtNumArray[]']);
echo <<<TABLE
<P>Weight of 100 pieces: <input type="text" size="5"
name="txtPieceWeight"></P>
<table border="1"><tr><th>Route #</th><th>Pieces in
route</th><th>Weight of route</th></tr>
TABLE;
echo "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"$self\">";
Change this to "post" <-- spec says lower case on the value
And, you could get rid of the echo and move it to the last line of the previous
HEREDOC statement
while($i < $numBox){
echo <<<HTML
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" size="5" name="txtNumArray[]"
Here you would use just value="txtNumArray[{$i}]"
value="txtNumArray[$i]">
Here you would use just value="{$i}"
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" size="5" name="txtPiecesArray[]"
Here you would use just value="txtPiecesArray[{$i}]"
value="txtPiecesArray[$i]">
Here you would use just value="{$i}"
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" size="5" name="txtWeightArray[]"
Here you would use just value="txtWeightArray[{$i}]"
value="txtWeightArray[$i]">
Here you would use just value="{$i}"
</td>
</tr>
HTML;
$i++;
}
echo "<input type=\"submit\"></form>";
The reason I would do the above, is to make sure that all three arrays are in
sync.
What I'm attempting to do, is grab the info out of txtNumArray[] and put
it into the variable $numArray Sounds easy enough right? Well I've tried
using $NumArray = Array($_POST['txtNumArray[]'); but that's not
working... I've tried $NumArray = $_POST['txtNumArray[]']; which didn't
work... and I've looked on the php manual, but they all assume you
understand this stuff which I do not :)
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Or could at least point me to some
text like "Array's for Dummies"? :)

Is there an open source class for forms that provides for the use of CSS
for the layout of forms?

You may want to try this forms generation and validation class. It comes
with a vertical layout plug-in. By default it uses tables, so you do not
have to hardcode widths to make field rows and label columns align, but
you can override the default templates and set them to use tableless HTML.
http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration
Take a look at the test_auto_layout_form.php example.

I knew it! I was going to suggest phpclasses. Also, depending upon
what you do in your apps, consider a framework. There are many to
choose from. I have evaluated several and prefer cakephp. Normally you
won't use php to build the form but use html templates.

I am connecting to a Third Party WSDL that needs me to turn return an Array

Problem is they need something like:
<EditConference>
<conferenceId>163</conferenceId>
<phoneNumber>9999999999</ phoneNumber>
</EditConference>
<EditConference>
<conferenceId>163</conferenceId>
<phoneNumber>9999999999</ phoneNumber>
</EditConference>
I found a good read here that says it deals with the way PHP handles
outputting arrays.

Is this truly considered a bug ? If so has it been resolved in the current
releases of PHP ?
If not does anyone have a simple solution ? I can figure out a way to code
the XML myself and send it but honestly was hoping for a simplier solution
that didn't envolve writing XML by hand.

Hi All,
I am looking into the concepts behind memory management in PHP. Which
kind of approach will be best to measure memory leakage or usage in a PHP
script?
I can measure my apache process but is there any way by which I can know
which exact part of script is consuming how much memory?

Start off with putting something like this:
error_log('in file ' . __FILE__ . ' at line ' . __LINE__ . ' memory
usage is ' . memory_get_usage(true) . "\n", 3, '/path/to/log.file');
every 100 lines and work out where your spikes are.
When you're looking at a section that jumps a lot, put it every 10 lines
- work out which parts are causing the big jumps and go from there.
Or use xdebug profiling to work out which parts of your app are being
used the most and start there - http://xdebug.org/docs/profiler

Hi Chris,
Thanks for such quick response.
quite good suggestion, but my application is using a framework and lots of
includes and even autoloads of classes are being done, so using break point
approach is not possible for me.
Well, trying to do something so I can call my memory usage function after
certain number of lines or predefined life time of php script, any
suggestion?
Thanks and Regards

Why not? It just means the files are spread out in different folders
instead of one place.
If you're using a framework, set up a new very simple environment and
see how much memory that uses by itself (see
http://www.php.net/memory_get_peak_usage).
That'll at least tell you whether it's the framework using all the
memory or your specific changes to it.

I have done that check and I am sure that only my changes are taking time,
but they are large in numbers, so I was looking something to pin point the
exact change which is consuming more memory. Thanks for your suggestions, I
will definitely use them.

You should be able to do that with a so called tick function.
From the manual: "A tick is an event that occurs for every N low-
level statements executed by the parser within the declare block. The
value for N is specified using ticks=N within the declare blocks's
directive section."
Have a look at the function 'register_tick_function'. Take the
function that was suggested previously by Chris and make it a tick
function.

I've started thinking something is wrong with my php installation as it
seems to work for everyone else. Wrote more details in an earlier mail.
Sidenote: If I replace åäö with numerical html entities it works, but
that's not a reasonable solution to me.

One way that comes to mind right off the bat would be to utilize
an idea similar to the following. You'll need to secure it and tailor
it to your own needs, but it should point you in the right direction.
<?
// Place this function in a file that's included
// in all pages for users that are logged in.
// The field last_seen is INT(10)
function updateLoginTable($uid) {
$sql = "UPDATE yourTable SET last_seen='".time()."' WHERE
uid='".$uid."' LIMIT 1";
mysql_query($sql);
}
?>
<?
// This will be your cron job.
// Include your database config here.
// The field is_active is BOOL
$secs = 600; // Number of seconds to wait before considering logged out
$diff_secs = (time() - $secs);
$sql = "UPDATE yourTable SET is_active='0' WHERE last_seen >
'".$diff_secs."'";
mysql_query($sql);
?>
Then, add this to your crontab:
*/1 * * * * `which php` /path/to/cron/script.php
It will run every minute, making users who have not accessed a
page within the previous 10 minutes inactive. It's untested, but
hopefully it will point you in the right direction anyway.
