Wow. IMHO that is a really bad stance to take on IE 6. Most offices still
have IE 6 for whatever reason. If you block them then you are blocking
possible clients. There is still a large percentage that still use it.

I think that percentage depends on the target audience. There was a
kerfuffle several months back (maybe a year ago now?) when 37signals
announced that they would no longer work around IE6's limitations in
Basecamp. A lot of people presented the above argument in the support
forums and they said, "We've analyzed our logs and we know how many of
our users run IE6, and it's not very many".
My preference is to make sure my stuff is functional in IE6, but to
forget about pixel-perfect. But I tend to go light on Javascript in
general, so it's not that big of a deal usually.

Yes, there is A LOT.
to make u aware that this is the last version be able to run under windows
2000. windows 2000 however is the last professional version of windows made
by microsoft. I don't know any bigger company using other os. All banks,
stock traders (wall street etc.) are still using 2k. Microsoft wanted in
2005 to stopp maintaining 2k but still until today they improving the os.
preventing IE6 from viewing ur sites is cutting away all professional window
users.

I bought a Windows XP PC about three years ago with IE6 on it (I
normally do all my work in Linux). I haven't upgraded it, and I can't
imagine why the average user would. If it ain't broke (and most users
wouldn't consider IE6 broken), don't fix it.
I will say this, though. Since I normally browse with Firefox on Linux,
if a site gets pissy with me and insists I use IE or Mozilla on Windows,
I typically don't go there anymore. So if you're interested in driving
off people who are less technologically advanced than you'd like, I
think you'll probably succeed.

I'd go to say that for general websites, things like the failed PNG
transparency issue in IE6 can be ignored. Yes, your sites will look a
bit rubbish in the browser if you use a lot of transparent PNGs for
visual effects, but it will remain functional. That is not so if your
site relies too heavily on some functions of Javascript. At the end of
the day, stats are meaningless unless they apply to your own site.
Thanks,
Ash

I wonder what should happen if your customers will ask you PHP 3 applications
because their internal server is that old ... and I mean your *current*
application for PHP3 ... well, IE 6 has the same impact for the Web Development.
I am not saying we can dismiss its support, specially if we work behind banks
or big lazy but somehow well paid companies administrators whose do not truly
need internet related business, otherwise they would have updated ages ago to
something more robust, with better performances, standards support, and more
powerful, but at least we should never encourage our customers to keep using
it, they are simply slowly cutting their self out of the web and every
possibility it could offer.
Security and Legacy? IE6 is the most bugged browser in the history of the web,
so this is another reason to do not encourage our customers.

I agree in general, but eventually Microsoft will stop releasing
security updates for IE6. It's hard to tell exactly, but right now it
seems like that may happen next July:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifesupsps/#Internet_Explorer
At that point I would consider IE6 "broke".

Every standard conformance test can tell you since years that IE6 is broken. At
that point, you'll be exactly in the same situation, if your customers do not
want to update for same reason they are not doing right now, why would you
leave them "alone" next July when everybody is screaming against that horror
software.
IE6 had glorious days 7 years ago, now it's like complaining that petrol
stations do not sell carbon to go anymore ... the utopia is: if tomorrow
everybody will stop to support IE6 these deprecated companies will have to
update - it works with everything, marketing speaking, it does not work with
IE6, 'cause it's Microsoft marketing.
Finally, apparently IE6 support is reminded until 2014, but for "support" they
mean only major security problems with zero fixes about leaks, render engine,
JScript, CSS support, etc etc ... but of course with SilverLight everything
will be fantastic and still Microsoft Approved, they are simply doing their
business, and we are simply passively following it.

In a lot of the work I do these days I have to support IE6 because it's
the defacto browser in various government departments. It'll be sometime
before it is completely ousted.

Rob.

Rob, same is for me, I have to deal with this "browser" all problems it has
every single day, 'cause financial companies would like to have the last
fashion web based application ignoring they are using the worse case scenario
browser.
We tried to drop IE6 support for at least version 7 when 8 became official ...
and you know what? Absolutely nothing changed, it's like to deal with Windows
Millennium when you are trying to develop an anti virus with firewall ... a
massive waste of time. Fortunately these company still have money to pay extra
hours and effotr for IE6 ... so I do my job, and that's it.

Hello there,
Thanks a lot. The Javascript class worked like a charm. I'm glad I asked! :)
Thanks for all the answers, everyone. I seem to have communicated my intent
wrong, when it came to my algorithm, but basically, yes, it was not based on
the MVC model, and yes, it did filter the SQL table, then sorted them and
displayed each row according to the ID, for example, of the different things
in the SQL table. In other words, let's say that I wanted to get the ID,
sort the array containing the ID's, then show the rows of the table by
looping through the array and showing each row of the table.
However, the javascript did what I wanted perfectly anyway. I have to read
up more on Javascript since I seem to have an awful understanding of it, but
for now... *phew* hehe!

I wonder if massive uploads, like the ones you're coding for, really
aren't that common. I can imagine hard-coding that 3600 myself, and
thinking, "no way someone's going to be uploading a single file for
longer than an hour, or even close to it."

After looking at it bit more, I found another PECL bug, same basic
underlying problem, that was fixed almost a year ago:
http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=14198
That's when the config option apc.rfc1867_ttl was introduced to APC --
but some of that hardcoded 3600 remained until a few weeks ago.
The older bug (14198) sounds exactly like your problem, so if I were
you I'd start by trying any of the official versions that include the
fix for 14198. That fix was committed on August 29 of 2008:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=265595
So the next version up (3.1.1) from what you're currently using will
include it. I guess 3.1.1 is still in "beta" but I'd personally go for
beta over a custom build, at least on a first pass.

me too, also because for a silly connection problem you could even re-start the
upload from the scratch.
I do not think HTTP and a POST form "as is" is suitable for these kind of
tasks, I would rather think about a truly simple Desktop software, Python for
portability or AutoIT if it is only for windows, able to split the file in
chunks 2 Mb each and open a conversation with the server in order to be able to
resume the upload if something goes wrong or if the user would like to.
With a desktop application you can send credentials and the SHA1 of the file in
order to create it's ghost image on the server. Every chunk will be saved a
part and when finished appended via file pointers to the main one. To allow a
resume you simply need to communicate the current big file size / 2 Mb and you
know which chunk needs to be uploaded.
It is more simple to do than to explain, if you got this basic example about
how to proceed, but you need privileges over the file in order to create a SHA1
and read only chunks via pointer, rather than send everything in a shot.

Woo hoo!
Got php-apc patched and am testing now.
Good points about long downloads, but right now folks are using FTP
and they don't like it or understand it. In a biz environment,
connections are pretty stable, and usually fairly fast. This gives
them a familiar interface to upload. Anyway, this was the spec I was
given. Adding interruption recovery is a nice phase 2, upgrade.
I am just happy it is working now. The APC upload progress thing works
great (above mentioned limitations aside). Long haul, but pretty slick
in the end.
Thanks again for all y'alls help.

You can't. Javascript is executed in the browser, PHP is executed on the
server.
What are you trying to achieve, as maybe there is a better way to do it.
Thanks,

I have to disagree Ash, you can pass js variable values to PHP but only
through a page load. Then you could use $_REQUEST, $_POST, $_GET to retrieve
it. I have done this before.

And I am sure Ash does it on daily basis, the problem is the used therm: I want
to *assign* ... not pass, assign!
I am quite sure that is what he meant, since I cannot count people reading
<?php ?> in the middle of the page thinking it can interact directly with nodes
and javascript, and being "a new one", I think Ash replied in the correct way.

All true, and probably appropriate to clarify the relationship between
php and js.
However, if the goal is to pre-set something in php land so you don't
have to pass it with your next page navigation, you could use ajax to
to pass the value to a simple php script that in turn updates a php
session variable, so that it is already set when you do your next real
page load.
You would still be "calling a page" technically, but your current
displayed page would remain in place and php would have the value
available on its next page load.

Very true. I really didn't intend to dismiss everything you said Ash. I
apologize for that. You were absolutely correct in your statement about not
being able to directly assign the value of a javascript variable to a PHP
variable. I just felt that your response would leave the reader to believe
that that wasn't any way to pass the value at all. In my attempt to throw my
two cents in I essentially did the same to your response. I'm afraid I left
some thinking I was dismissing your entire statement. Sorry about that.

hello,
You can also try using AJAX technology to communicate with the server
side code that is your php :).
