Hi!
I'm stuck.
I don't understand why the php CLI dies after 3 hours in my script.
Any idea to solve?
Thanks
PHP 5.2.9-0.dotdeb.2 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.7 (cli) (built: Apr 7
2009 20:06:36)
Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-19-server #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:44:47 UTC 2008
x86_64 GNU/Linux
Conf [php.ini]
max_execution_time=0
<?php
while (true) {
sleep(5);
}
?>
The while loop will continue executing until its condition is false. As
you've got a boolean true as the condition, it will never end.
Thanks

I don't want to stop, but the process dies.
I've tried the same loop with bash interpretor.
Same result, it seems to be a ubuntu problem, not a php problem.
Open up a shell... type the following into it:
ulimit -a
What do you see?
Cheers,
Rob.

Php - MySQL - newbie question
- Field type for american money - int(11) seems to work fine
- but also I tried decimal(10,2)
Is one a better choice than another for american money usage?

For PHP, check out money_format(), number_format(), and sprintf()
with `%0.2f` or similar. For MySQL, ask on the MySQL list. ;-P

If you are only interested in round dollar amounts then int should work
fine ;-) If you expect any fractions of a dollar (as I suspect you
will), such as 19.95 then use decimal.

For mysql, it's better to use int and then store it in cents (or
micros) so you can use all integer operations instead of float ones.

To each his own. Speed or otherwise I don't see a difference between:
$total = 19.95 + 3.99; //shipping
and
$total = 1995 + 399; //shipping
Except with the ints you have to format them for display.

You have to format the floats too:
<?php
$total = 5.55 + 9.35;
echo $total."\n";
?>

Oh, I didn't mean speed within PHP, I meant for mysql operations. I'm not
sure how PHP handles int vs. float operations (though int is usually faster
than float for other languages, isn't it?).

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I guess what I meant to say was that I had never really considered using
ints :-)

I have been having problems with a curl script which works normally with
many different URLs but had a particular intermittant problem with a url
in the following format:
http://10.20.30.40/00000001/032/023112/filename.phtml?param1=paramvalue1¶m2=paramvalue2
etc etc.
The unusual thing about this URL is that is starts with an IP address.
I got a lot of failures to connect, so tried a different way to connect
as all I need is the page as a string:
According to php.net, the function 'file_get_contents()' should work if
allow_url_fopen is set to TRUE for the PHP installation.
'allow_url_fopen' is set to 1 in my php.ini file.
http://php.net/file_get_contents
http://php.net/allow_url_fopen
However, 'file_get_contents' also fails to connect to this particular
URL. It gives:
"failed to open stream: Connection timed out in
*/home/shortsta/public_html/live48_test.php* on line *75*
*Warning*: feof(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in
*/home/mysite/public_html/testpage.php* on line *79*"
The target URL works perfectly and quicly if put directly into the
browser URL line.
Do you know of any other reasons for problems with such a connection?

Is the script being run located on the same system as which you're
using the browser to (successfully) connect to the target host? If
not, check to see if there's a network issue - a downed or improperly
bound interface, SELinux restrictions, blacklisted by the remote
machine, etc. - on the server on which the script it hosted. In
addition, as simple and obvious as it is, if it's a private network,
make sure the machine on which the script is hosted is within the same
network as the target machine.

It looks like a connection problem,
You has to make sure php can connect to the IP
<?php
echo exec( 'ping 10.20.30.40' );
?>
You can remove the IP from the source, just add an entry in the /etc/hosts
file

I am just beginning my foray into writing my own wrapper for a C++ library
that maintained by someone else. I have ordered Sara Golemon's book "Extending
and Embedding PHP" which should arrive in the next week or so, but until then
I had a couple of questions that I was hoping might be able to be answered
here. If this is the incorrect list to post this to, please let me know.
Is it possible to use an object file from the C++ library directly in the
config.m4 file? I attempted to create a symlink to the cpp file that I needed
for
my extension but I get a ton of errors when I try to make the extension and I
am guessing it is because this one cpp file that I need requires a ton of other
header files.
Second question is, I thought I read somewhere that it was possible to create
a stand alone extension that did not require the end user to install the .so
file and then modify the php.ini file and restart the apache server. How can I
do this with my extension and just call/load the .so file in my script(s) that
need it?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, im trying to make the CMS system im using more SEO friendly by giving
each page it's own title. Right now, the system assigns all pages the same
general title. I would like to use PHP to discertain which page is being viewed
and in turn, which title should be used.
I have put in the title tags the variable "$title". As for the PHP im using, I
scripted the following:
$url = "http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']''.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']'";
switch ( $url )
{
default:
$title = "Photoshop tutorials, Flash tutorials, and more! Newtuts
Tutorial Search";
break;
case "$config[HTTP_SERVER]help.php" :
$title = "Newtuts Help";
break;
}
Right now, im getting this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting
T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in
/home/a7201901/public_html/includes/classes/tutorial.php on line 803
Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks!

I'm guessing that line 803 is
$url = "http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']''.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']'";
which is full of mismatched quotes :-) Try any of
$url = "http://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}";
$url = "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

I'm at a complete loss... So I'm hoping someone can point me in the
right direction to even start looking.
We have an application written in PHP that lets users send out emails.
The basic process is as follows.
1. Go to "start" screen. (This resets anything currently in process
for the current logged in user)
2. Upload email addresses and other info (Names, etc)
3. Build Email
4. Send
In Step 3 the user can click a "Live Preview" button to see what the
email will look like with the merged data.
Here's the problem, this works fine in all versions of IE, versions
1.5 or less of FireFox and versions 3 or less of Safari. However,
starting in FireFox 2, and now Safari 4, when you get to step four OR
click the live preview button in step three there is no more data in
the merge. In those browsers the system is acting like the end user
went BACK to the start page (in another window?) and reinitialized all
the data.
I immediately thought it might be pre-fetching so I tried using the
system before and after toggling the network.prefetch-next setting in
about:config with FireFox 2.0.0.20 and restarting the browser. No
luck. So I added code to my reset function to email me the output of
phpinfo() when the reset function is called. Using IE I get 1
notification. Using FF I get two notifications. This reinforces my
theory that FireFox is prefetching the menu item to start a new
mailing (just an <a> link...) from the top of the composer page. Even
still... I've disabled prefetch so it SHOULDN'T even be considering
those links right? I've also tried adding artificial
"?now=<timestamp>" fakes to the end of all menu links since I read
somewhere (don't remember where) that FireFox only prefetches pages
with no query section in the address.
Has anyone run into this behavior before? Any recommendations on how
to stop it? Preferably from the server with code of some sort...
Thanks in advance.

Hi Matt,
Have you tried to put this two lines in the HEAD section of your HTML pages :
<META http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache">
<META http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
Hope it helps you.

As Manuel said, have you tried to send no-cache headers and <meta> tags?
