I didn't read this thread (sorry) but I wonder if timezone/locale
might be the culprit.

Absolutely - I use it for my (largely) solo projects. For one thing, not all
projects remain solo efforts - at least two of my recent projects have been big
enough to bring someone else in, and at that point if the stuff is all in SVN
then it's MUCH easier...
Also, I find that I can easily be a different "person" on another day, and want
to experiment with some refactoring or neat way of doing stuff. SVN gives me a
simple way to fall back to the previous stuff without too many headaches.
AND (this is probably most relevant to the original thread) when I commit code
to the repository, it asks for a comment to attach to the commit.
That's really useful (as I think Richard finds) when I come to do my timesheets,
which is usually less often than my commits...
Cheers

Absolutely. Change management and recording makes sense for any
development, whether it's one or a thousand people. An example is my
RGraph software. I use svn so I don't (and won't) remember what I've
changed between releases. It therefore helps to document said changes.
And documentation is goood...

Doing more backups is a very poor substitute.

Hello,
I have seen procmail and PERL, and some MIME handling scripts...but I
haven't seen PHP, Procmail, Mysql, and MIME handling to effectively handle
incoming emails. I don't know PERL, so naturally I'd like to see it all
written in stuff that I can understand and tweak if needbe.
I have a Fax to Email service that sends me emails with all my faxes. I
want to process and parse them as follows:
Fax >> multi-page PDFs >> My Email >> Procmail >> PHP / MIME decoder /
Imagemagick >> MySQL >> save PDF >> Imagemagick each page to preview
thumbnails.
The attachments would be stored (or links to attachments stored on file
system) along with main message stored in MySQL, and Imagemagick would make
thumbnails of each page of the multi-page PDFs.
I could then have my office assistant browse the messages by web browser,
add keywords, To/From, Subject, categories to each of the
messages,images,PDFs for later perusal and searching. And when I wanted to
go back a year ago and try to retrieve an old fax, it wouldn't be so hard.
:-)
Surely someone has done this, but I can't find it....and I'm too busy and
cowardly to write it myself :-)
Thanks
Dan

This may sound a bit of a strange question, but why put the fax in a
PDF? I mean, it's a bitmap graphic, so why not just leave it in a bitmap
format?
If that sounds strange, I'm the kind of person who gets annoyed at
people who put screenshots in MSWord documents!

Then get your wallet out. If you want email handling (ie Mime
parsing), then the mimeDecode class in PEAR will do this, and put the
resulting data (attachments and all) in an array structure for you to
play with.

Ahh MSWord. Unfortunately I'm stuck with OpenOffice for the time
being, [looks longingly in the direction of MSOffice]

Are you serious? I've switched to OOo and never looked back. Does
everything I need, and makes styling documents a hell of a lot easier.

Absolutely, I've used MSWord for years and know it quite well. So
getting along with OpenOffice is just a pain. I'm not an MS zealot
though (believe it or not). For example I think Vista is the work of
the devil...

Most fax systems I've seen deal with TIFF images but they can be in a
slightly weird format (missing lines, requiring stretching or something
like that). Putting the data into PDF is trivial (this is done
automatically by hylafax system IIRC).
Also it seems Dan's issue is not converting it in PDF format, as he gets
the data sent to him in PDF already.
For the email decoding, as Richard said, the PEAR MimeDecode classes do
a fair job of this.

OK, so maybe I'm not looking for a VPS per se but I suspect I am given the
requirements I have.
I am looking for a new web host, both for my personal work and on behalf of my
company. (Two separate entities entirely, but odds are I'll end up using the
same host for both just to make my life easier.) My specific requirements
relate to running medium to large PHP-based web sites. The host we've been
using at work is having trouble scaling up nicely, and I want to see what else
is out there.
Requirements are:
- Apache 2
+ Must include mod_rewrite, mod_deflate, and other modern tools
+ Must support at least 2 GB storage per account.
- MySQL 5 installed by default.
+ Must allow databases up to 1 GB in size at least. Larger would be even
nicer.
+ Must support remote database management (tunneled through SSH is OK).
+ Must allow InnoDB tables; requiring it database-wide and using a different DB
server for it is acceptable.
- PHP 5.2.3 or better installed by default, including
+ User-configurable memory limit, up to at least 100 MB.
+ Respectable set of PHP modules enabled, including SOAP, PDO, SQLite,
XML/XSLT, etc. The "modern" tools.
+ Must be able and willing to install additional PHP modules upon request.
+ Must be able and willing to configure an opcode cache upon request, or even
have it by default. (Here's where I suspect a VPS will be necessary.)
- Managed
I'm a web developer, not a sysadmin. Installing, configuring, and upgrading
the above (such as opcode caches, PHP modules, etc.) must be something the
host does, not something they expect me to do. I also don't want to have to
go through a multi-week song and dance before the host is convinced to install
a common PHP module. (I had to do that to get SOAP support at our current
host, and they don't allow us to tweak the memory limit, which is why we're
looking elsewhere.
A decent control panel is, of course, a must. I admit to not actually liking
CPanel or Plesk, as I find them way over-featured and therefore impossible to
navigate, but I can probably deal if the host is good otherwise.
Naturally a good reputation for not over-selling is also important. It should
also be based in the continental USA, but I don't particularly care if they're
local. Good corporate citizen track record (e.g., hosts public mirrors) is
good icing but not make-or-break as long as they're not douchebags. We're
willing to pay for quality, but not be robbed for it. We're looking for a
company we can partner with long-term for hosing several dozen sites.
So, does this sound like anyone you know? :-) Any hosts you can
recommend/avoid? So far random searching has turned up Amazon EC2 and Jaguar
VPS as possibilities, but I'd like to get broader input if possible.
Thanks all!
