If your hosting service company doesn't permit/use URL rewrite (mod_rewrite for
Apache), then ask them to specify a 404 error page for you. You can then do an
ugly hack of URL rewrite in your (PHP) 404 error page so the URL will be SEF ;)

I get 80.82.121.153 for it. You might have an issue with your DNS
server. There are a lot of freely available alternative DNS servers
about the world that you can use instead. I had to do that myself one
time, when the DNS server issued by my ISP was misbehaving and I was
getting lots of timeouts just like you are getting.

Did you research on 'touch screen'? How it works? The hardware & software
involved?

Unless PHP Gtk has a module able to create an interface able to capture
coordinates in a touchscreen device ... PHP is a web server programming
language and it usually works in the server specially suited for web based
applications.

If the touch screen is attached to the server, yes. But you probably
need to specify which touch screen and drivers you are using.
If it is attached to the browser, no. All PHP does is generate HTML to
send to the browser. It is up to whomever manages that machine to
install the drivers for the touch screen and integrate it into the OS.
You need to be more specific about what you are trying to do.

php|arch magazine had an article about this some years back, search
their archives. Its more than possible, but you will likely need to
install apache/php/mysql on the machine that run the device (assuming
its a kiosk type machine)

You know that's what happens when the brain process too fast for the fingers to

well, I would say a touch screen usualy is just another 'pointing device'
like the mouse is. it depends on the operating system and the driver setup
for it. then u simply can use any browser and just adjust the pointing
receiving elements like buttons and links a bit bigger and with images
rather then with just text. However this is not realy a PHP related issue.
more like a designers issue.
I think its realy simple

Hello,
As indicated below, the "strlen(tuf8_decode())" and the "/u" regex
modifier do not work as per my understanding.
1) What is my misunderstanding?
<?php
$the_string = 'Марина
Орлова';
echo "<p>author (85 bytes):$the_string," . strlen($the_string) . ','
. strlen( utf8_decode( $the_string ) ) . ',' .
strlen( utf8_decode( utf8_encode($the_string) ) ) . ',' . "</p>";
// all the number echoed are 85, I expected at least one to be 13
$max_length = 20;
$is_short = preg_match( '/^.{1,$max_length}$/u', uft8_encode(
$the_string ) ) );
// expect the above to return 1
$max_length = 10;
$is_short = preg_match( '/^.{1,$max_length}$/u', uft8_encode(
$the_string ) ) );
// expect the above to return 0
?>
More generally, given a string $the_string:
2) how to determine what encoding is being used?
3) how to determine the number of visible characters?
4) if it has more than N visible characters, how to
truncate it after N visible characters?
Thanks!

> $the_string = 'Марина

did you actually wrote this or i tis the PHP ml that converted utf-8 chars?
I can read only an ASCII string with length 85 ... please tell me you are not
confusing HTML entities with UTF-8 encoded characters ...

Hi there, i've the following strings:
$string1 = 'Lorem ipsum dolor http://site.com sit amet';
$string2 = 'Lorem ipsum dolor http://www.site.com/ sit amet';
$string3 = 'Lorem ipsum dolor http://www.site.net sit amet';
How can I extract the URL from these strings?
They can be [http:// + url] or [www. + url].

Use the preg_match() function (see
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php ) and a good
regular expression from a place like http://www.regexlib.com/ .

Erm, I think the Lorem Ipsum was just filler text in this example, and
may not actually occur in the final content ;)

I don't think so, but I've found this (from PT-BR LIST):
$string = 'Lorem ipsum dolor http://site.com sit amet lorem www.google.com
';
preg_match_all('!(?:http://|www)[^ ]*!',$string,$links);
print_r($links);

Simple:
function RemoveLorem($string)
{
return str_replace(array('Lorem ipsum dolor ', ' sit amet'), '',
$string);
}
$url1 = RemoveLorem($string1);
$url2 = RemoveLorem($string2);
$url3 = RemoveLorem($string3);

I have updated a php to version 5.2.11. the timestamp in php log is
incorrect. the time differs from local time with 2 hours. In changelog
I can find the following information:
Updated timezone database to version 2009.13 (2009m) (Derick)
Is it related with my problem ???
When I run the following script:
<?php
print date('d M Y, H:i');
?>
It's returns a correct time.
I appreciate any help

you should update the keyboard as well, it fires CTRL+V twice (subject, and I
am joking ..)

correct accordingly with your local time zone, 'cause I am pretty much sure
that if you do
<?php
print *gmdate*('d M Y, H:i');
?>
the time will be exactly the same reported in the log file.
You would have known this if you were developing with E_STRICT since date is a
warning, even in the phpinfo, if you do not set it correctly.
It's a good idea in any case, for obvious portability reasons across websites,
countries, and hosts, to use gmdate for time operations, otherwise if I use
date I could have stuff from the future in another host, and stuff from past in
another one.

Did you set 'Default timezone' in php.ini or use the function
date_default_timezone_set() in your app?

What's the simplest way to test if a link is valid?
I've got a script that throughly checks the dns, etc. But, I'd also like to
check to see if the user has inputted a valid link to a webpage.
File_exists() and etc. seem to have a lot of caveats.
E.g., foo.com/bar/file.txt
Most things I've looked at are gross overkill.

Several ways that I can think of:
* use the file_get_contents() which like you said, could be
overkill
* shell out to wget to retrieve just the headers for the path.
You'd be looking for a 200 return code, which indicates the URI
exists.
* lastly, you could use fopen() to open the file, and use the
return from the fopen() call to indicate a success of failure
Thanks,
Ash

you forgot probably the best one, an HEAD call via curl library (
http://uk3.php.net/curl ) if present
