tedd,
I think you used the incorrect longitude. Did you want a location in
northern China (as you entered above) or near Dansville, MI (in which
case I believe your longitude above should be negative rather than
positive)?

That's what I get for not checking it myself. I was assured by one of my
students that was our correct lat/long. Boy, will he hear from me -- he's going
to find his next assignment in China. :-)

Thanks Everyone for your responses.
I apologize for not responding sooner however i was away from the computer and
was not able to check my email or look into this further.
I am quite interested in a few of them so i will do further testing and
research. I was also hoping to learn how to create them my self but that is
more just because i enjoy trying to learn.

Hello,
I try the upload files, but in "tmp_name" and other variables are
missing in $_FILES.
I use php 5.3.8 on SLES11SP2
I can repeat this with:
===================================================
<?php
if(isset($_FILES)) {
var_dump($_FILES);
}
?>
<!-- The data encoding type, enctype, MUST be specified as below -->
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/i3.php" method="POST">
<!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field -->
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
<!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array -->
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" />
<input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>
===================================================
The $_FILES shows only:
array(1) { ["userfile"]=> array(1) { ["name"]=> string(14) "ask_script.xml" } }
I traced (strace) the apache process, and I saw, that a temporary
file was opened, the text from the file written and than later
unlinked.
What can be the problem?
Kindly regards

First of all, check your apache log files for any hints. There's
probably a warning/error in there that explains why.
If not, check your php.ini settings, there are a few settings that can
affect uploads (see [1]).

I switched to "LogLevel debug" but in error_log is nothing found,
the access_log showes only:
192.168.1.89 - - [20/Mar/2012:16:43:53 +0100] "POST /i3.php HTTP/1.1"

Yes, I know this settings and checked this and disabled suhosin too.
Nothing helped.
I did this before "stracing" ...

at ongod dot org Please ask further support on the PHP general mailing list or
any other support channel, thanks!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2012-03-19 14:10:56] [email protected] I cannot reproduce the issue, tried with the
latest php 5.4 and IIS7. IIS7 has compression turned off and the php.ini has
both zlib.output_compression=on and zlib.output_compression_level=-1 set. The
page is merely a phpinfo() page. Here the simple ping pong: GET /i.php

request/response headers?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2012-03-19 14:01:26] nacin at wordpress dot org I can confirm that WordPress
3.3.1 does not set zlib.output_compression. Looks like WP never has.

an email to you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2012-03-19 11:25:40] [email protected] zlib.output_compression can be disabled at
runtime at later stage in PHP 5.4. I'd probably be lost on a Windows box, so I
don't think I could help you there.

Good afternoon PHP gurus,
I am trying to troubleshoot a problem on a Windows server (*UGH*). This
is the error -
The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error Details:
* The FastCGI process exceeded configured activity timeout
* Error Number: 258 (0x80070102).
* Error Description: The wait operation timed out.
HTTP Error 500 - Server Error.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
Here is the code it appears to be choking on -
/* open the file for reading and/or writing */
$csvFile = fopen(CSV_FILE, "rb");
$csvTemp = fopen(CSV_TEMP_FILE, "wb");
if(!$csvTemp) {
echo 'failed tp open '.CSV_TEMP_FILE;
}
/* create the edit vehicle info */
/* create a stock number for this vehicle */
$vinPart = substr($_POST['vin-number'], -6);
$stockNumber = 'EC'.$vinPart;
/* create a line to be inserted into the .csv file */
$csvContent = $stockNumber.',';
$csvContent .= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['vehUser']).',';
$csvContent .= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['vmake']).',';
$csvContent .= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['vmodel']).',';
$csvContent .= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['vyear']).',';
$csvContent .=
mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['vin-number']).',';
$csvContent .= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['vprice']).',';
$csvContent .=
mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['vdescription'])."\r\n";
/* loop through and write edited lines back in while
maintaining non-edited lines */
while(!FEOF($csvFile)) {
/* get current line information */
$originalLineArray = fgetcsv($csvFile, 4096, ',');
/* test and replace as required */
if(is_array($originalLineArray)) {
if($stockNumber == $originalLineArray[0]) {
fwrite($csvTemp, $csvContent);
} else {
$currentLine = implode(",", $originalLineArray);
$currentLine = $currentLine."\r\n";
fwrite($csvTemp, $currentLine);
}
}
}
/* close the files */
fclose($csvFile);
fclose($csvTemp);
/* rename the temp file */
rename(CSV_TEMP_FILE, CSV_FILE);
Anyone have any clue why this might be happening? I have followed the
events using Process Monitor which doesn't complain at all, yet the temp
file gets created but never written to. I have been all over the web for
a couple of hours now with no clue as to what is going on. I'd really
appreciate any hints or tips.

..the craziness of it all

Found out that the PostGreSQL .dll was not loaded and that the server had been
configured to not give up any errors regardless of how I set error reporting.
Reconfigured the server and restarted it. Viola'! It all works now.

Thanks for that link, Arno, I'll check into and possibly modify my
article. The article was an experiment to see how these things worked.
I would definitely agree that the first attempt was a failure, not
just because of possible bugs, but more because it just did not do the
job AT ALL. (I guess I should emphasize that in the article.)
The base64 version seems like it might be the most robust in terms of
getting data where it needs to go, as long as you can also deal with
the various character encoding issues (which is not trivial!!). I
don't think there is really a good general solutions to this at hand.
