Hello Karl,
If I understood you properly, try this:

Hello all,
I was wondering, can you reference php in a url string like you can
javascript.
EG:
"javascript:someFunction()"
Can you do something similar in php like
"php:someFunction()"
I am thinking that you can not do this, but was wondering if there
was something like that.
Thanks,

Thank you Andre.
Yes, I had been doing it that way, but was just wondering if PHP had
a reference like that of javascript with the colin : in it.
Best,
Karl

The reason you can't is because PHP is on the server and Javascript is
local (e.g. the browser).
Even if the PHP code you're executing is through localhost, because PHP
needs the server to run, it has to be run on the server, and exposing
functions directly like this would expose all sorts of security issues
(imagine calling up a getUserDetails() on a website you're not logged
into for example, which would mean every function of a system would need
some sort of user auth check and would slow the whole thing to a crawl)

I see. Very good point. Thanks Ash.
I figured it was because of the whole pre-processing part of PHP.
Thanks for the explination.

As others have answered, no php doesn't work that way.
However, you can still send/receive strings through a url via a
$_GET) and direct the actions of a receiving php script and you can
do the same thing via a $_POST.
As such, a "php:someFunction()" could be a:
url?php=someFunction
Where the receiving script takes the command and runs someFunction().
However, I would shorten it a bit and say
url?php=18
Where php would be the command to run a function and 18 would be the
function you want to run.
So, while you can't use the same syntax as javascript, you can get
the same performance.
Cheers,
tedd

Chris:
I would like to do that, but I simply don't know how.
I think the reason for that is that I usually work on shared hosted
accounts and the hosts don't permit command line stuff -- so I think,
but I could be wrong. Plus, I stopped doing command line stuff back
in the Apple ][ days.
Granted this is another hole in my knowledge, but I think that even
if I knew how, I don't think it would solve my current problem. Am I
wrong?

Well you certainly can not use this without the command line, however some
hosts restrict you from the command line but still allow you to run commands
via php's exec() function (Rackspace Sites is an example of this).
pseudo code example:
exec('mysqldump [options] --all-databases ... ');
Of course this is only if your hoster supports it, and if the user has
proper mysql privileges (which I think are SELECT, LOCK TABLES, and SHOW
VIEW).
mysqldump is a great program with many options so you can dump your db just
the way you want it ;) If it's something you can and choose to use I would
suggest reading over the link I sent you so you can customize it's output.
Chris.

Hi,
I have a page that has 9 form actions which upload individual files
one at a time. On my own server, it runs fine and there are no hangs.
But when I install on my clients server. I creased their
"upload_max_filesize" to 100MB.
Still I get random hanging.
Is there any thing else that I should be looking at to remedy this
hanging?

So, is it one form with 9 <input type="file"/> elements, or 9 forms, as
I was a little unsure from your email.
Are you sure it's hanging? Have you given enough time for the files to
transfer over the Internet? Is it only Safari that it appears to hang
with? Try using Firefox with Firebug installed to see what client-server
communication is actually going on, as that might show you where any
problem is.
Thanks,
Ash

Hi,
before I allow to upload images I read them and check for several html
tags. If they exist I don't allow the upload. Is their any need to check
pdf files, too? At the time I'm doing this, but the result is that many
files are denied because of unallowed html tags.
