This might not be quite what your looking for, but I often have then need
for a unique number in an incrementing order. random isnt quite the word for
it, unique is :)
function mtime()
{
$mtime = microtime();
$mtime = str_replace("\.", '', $mtime);
$mtime = explode(' ', $mtime);
$mtime = $mtime[1] . $mtime[0];
return($mtime);
}

Hello,
I'm an ASP guy gone PHP. So, be patient with me as I struggle my way with
PHP. I have a some experience with writing C like syntax, as with
JavaScript and TCL. I hope to pick up PHP quickly.
2 Questions:
How to declare function and sub routines.
How to call functions and sub routines.
Thanks!
You can take a look here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/html/functions.html
It's the documentation of PHP.
regards,
Augusto Cesar Castoldi

Hi.
FrontPage sucks for working with PHP.
I've been doing all my coding by hand and that's fine as far as it goes but
I just got a promotion at work where everyone uses FrontPage so I bought it
to see how I can use it to show these old dogs some new tricks.
Nice program. Allows for workgroups where different people can work on
different parts of a project. That'll come in handy. It also has some nice
tree charts to show you where the project is branching out and generates
some useful reports like where the dead links are.
What I *really* liked about it was the ability to apply a common theme
across all my pages. Man, that was pretty cool. Plus, let's face it, using
an HTML editor really takes some of the drudgery out of designing your
pages.
The problem is, if the web page that is designed with FrontPage doesn't end
with a regularly accepted filename extension like *.htm, FrontPage doesn't
seem to really know how to handle it and I need it to handle pages that end
with *.php.
What are my options? I don't think I missed anything with FrontPage after
scouring the manual and online and inline help pages.
Anyone out there using an HTML editor that they'd like to recommend? Why?
Are there any FAQs I should be reading for this answer?
Maybe I should just use a style sheet for a common look and for the rest,
suck it up and take it like a man?
Yours,
Murph

Why would you type in style sheet code on every page if you do it by
hand? Doesn't that defeat half the purpose of style sheets?

Have any of you tried using EditPlus? (www.editplus.com) This is a great
little editor for HTML, JavaScript, and PHP. You can download extra modules
for color syntax hilighting of practically any language you can think of
including many different databases. It has some nice useful HTML features
and good handling of multiple documents... and most importantly, you don't
have to worry about it mangling your code. It is helpful while also staying
out of your way. The more I use it, the more I like it. It is simple,
elegant, and it gives me all the control that I want. Its inexpensive and
comes with a thirty day trial. Check it out.
BTW, I do not work for EditPlus or have any association with them other than
that of a satisfied customer.

Use emacs. Or vi. Or quanta. Or something else.

Sadly, no. As far as I know, it is a completely windows product. I am
currently developing on a Windows box using Samba to access the files on my
UNIX box from windows. Its not necessarily the best way of doing things and
it requires two computers, but it seems to get the job done, and since I
need to use Windows anyway for my company's standards of MS Office and
Outlook, its tolerable.
When running exclusively in UNIX, I run Elvis, a graphical vi with syntax
hilighting. XEmacs also is not a bad option, but Elvis is much faster.

I also find that ultraedit (forgive the goofy name, it's a _great_ app)
works really well if I've got to code in a windows world.
It's very flexible and fast on just any machine I've ever tried it on,
while also doing syntax highlighting and compiling if you want it to.
check it out at
www.ultraedit.com
It's actually the first piece of shareware that I had payed for, it's
that good --something like $40 US, it's been a couple of years since I
bought a license for it. Hmm, maybe I should go upgrade.....

Coming in on this late and from another platform:
I use Bluefish and Gvim under Unix. Of the two, Gvim is probably the
most configurable editor out there (macros, syntax highlighting, runs
its own scripts, uses a variety of scripting languages) and is available
for Windows. It's free (well, it's really charity ware) and Open Source.
While Bluefish is a nice non-gui HTML editor, Gvim is what I use for
"serious" coding in C, C++, Perl, Python, PHP and so on and on. It has
"unlimited" undoos and built in syntax highlighting for languages I've
never encountered in the "real world" (and a few I've never heard of).
Highly recommended.
Incidentally, could'nt you use PHP to manage the "look" at a CSS level?
Should this be the job of the editor?

ereg_replace($search_query, "<b>$search_query</b>", $row[6]);

Ie if the search query is "blah", the mysql search will return both "blah"

Ran a pretty rough benchmark: 10040 lines of code (5020 repetitions of the
above example) 10 times with an average execution time of 6.07904628515244
seconds.
> Example TWO: (in html && parse mode)

> <html-tag>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah</html-tag>
> <html-tag><?=$Var1;?></html-tag><b-tag><?=$Var2;?></b-tag>

Same benchmark, except these two lines were used instead of the two lines
in the above case (obviously). Again, 10 executions; this time the average
execution time was 6.40339350700379 seconds.
There are 100 ways error could've been introduced into this test; even so,
the results seem to lean towards not switching between html & php modes...
although, you're talking about 1000 lines of code, and the test used 10
times that, and the resulting difference was a little more than 3 tenths of
a second... if you compared it with 1/10th of the code (your 1000 line
file), you'd probably have a difference in the hundredths-of-a-second
range.
It's up to you, but I agree with what Christian said - I'd probably shoot
for being able to maintain the code; with such a little speed difference
you might as well set up more servers than optimize for 1/5th of a second
in execution time.

Now THAT's the kind of answer I was looking for. Thanks very much for
checking that out.
Mind if I ask what you used for your benchmarking/timing software-wise?

Hi,
is it possible to change the session timeout from within a script. I can't
change it in the *.ini-file because I have not the sufficient access rights.

I think you understood me wrong. I don't want to change (or limit) the execution
time of a script. I want to change the lifetime of a http session.

Setting the $seconds value to 0 makes the timeout value of the script
unlimited. If you're having problems with the browser timing out, try
sending a space every few seconds to keep the connection open.
If I'm still misunderstanding your question, my apologies.

Okay,
There aren't Sub Routines, just Functions? I've been to the manual
recommended by Augusto *thank you*, that is helping!
I created a function called Foo with a single argument (and I set it up as
optional, that is way cool, I can't do that in ASP) ... and my question is:
I can call foo like this
echo foo(dog); // outputs "This is a dog"
or like this
echo foo('dog'); // outputs "This is a dog"
or like this
echo foo("dog"); // outputs "This is a dog"
Does it matter which way I pass my arguments to foo? All arguments were
passed as a string variable.
> echo foo(dog); // outputs "This is a dog"
This is an example of using a "bareword" - PHP doesn't recognize _dog_ as
any sort of reserved word or constant, so it sends it like a quoted string.
I don't recommend using this because it's ambiguous whether you mean "dog"
or if _dog_ is a constant or whatever else is possible.
> echo foo('dog'); // outputs "This is a dog"
Single-quoted string: this is good for strings that don't need to be
"interpretted" by the parser; it's the ideal way to pass the string 'dog'
to foo() in this case.
> echo foo("dog"); // outputs "This is a dog"
Double-quoted string: this WILL be interpretted by the parser; for example,
if you had to pass the whole string "This is a dog" to the function, but
"dog" could actually be any word contained in $thing, then you'd do
something like this:
echo foo("This is a $thing");
Et cetera...

There are some very slight performance changes between these, but mostly
it's a matter of style.

Hello,
Is there anybody in this conference who can tell me whether exec() will work
under WinNT in future PHP releases?
I am bound to use Windows. Currently I am working this around so that I have a
daemon under NT. Daemon watches out for commands, written by PHP into a file,
and does the exec() job on his own. PHP then reads results from another file
....
It works, but I hate it ....
Thanks Zbynek

I'm a PHP newbie and am looking into using the include statement to
put things like the header and footer in so they are always the same.
I do this now with SSI. In SSI I'll use the following statement:
<!--#include virtual="/includes/metatags.include" -->
I like this cause it lets me use the same statement all over the site
and I don't have to worry about where the document is and how many
directories i have to go up an into "../../../../../"
I was guessing PHP's version would be:
<?PHP
include("/includes/metatags.include");
?>
However I get an error. If I put the absolute it works:
<?PHP
include("/home/httpd/includes/metatags.include");
?>
which is scary cause this worked too:
<?PHP
include("/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf");
?>
doesn't this seem like a huge security hole?
Well what I want is to use something like /inc/footer.html so i can
use the same PHP statements in any document and not worry about
getting it "../../../"
Any suggestions.
Mike
This is because the PHP include statement is ment to include other blocks of
PHP code, rather than bits of HTML. Hence, it includes things from anywhere
on the system. To include things from under your current htdocs directory,
use...
include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/includes/metatags.include");
though the more 'correct' method would be
readfile($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/includes/metatags.include");

This all depends on your include_path set in the PHP config files; see the
manual section on config for more info.
About the security hole... yes it would be dangerous on a system where
accounts are given to untrusted users (ie, customers), but there are ways
to make PHP secure for multi-account environments as well; this is also is
described in the manual.

No. If you know can trust your scripts, this is possible, but trusted scripts
won't do any abuse, will they?
If you can't trust your scripts, use safe-mode, and it isn't possible any
more.

For your things (where you are including HTML), readfile just reads a file
and dumps it to the screen. This is fine, because you are just dealing with
HTML, so no processing is required. include will actually try and parse the
file as if it has PHP inside somewhere, which your HTML (probably) doesnt.
So, readfile uses less resources, and is much more like the SSI include
statement than PHP's include :)

What about the security issue mentioned? Is it then possible (using the
include and/or readfile) to grab anything found on the server?
1 More thing: what if I wanted to place the contents of a file into a
variable. How do you achieve that?

Pretty much, yes (within the bounds of the permissions of the files. Most
webservers run as nobody on unix, and hence can only read those files which
nobody can (confusing, huh :)). But, unless you have a mallicious user with
upload access to your server, this isnt an issue. If you do, investigate
"Safe mode" this instant :)

Hi,
Sorry this is off topic but I just can`t find anywhere with reliable
information to help me get my .htaccess working on my server. I have followed
many tutorials and none of them give me a working password protected dir, so
if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
My .htaccess file is as follows:
AuthUserFile /usr/home/ukgs/volunteer/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName Bill's Restaurant
AuthType Basic
<limit GET>
require user shaun101
</limit>
And My .htpasswd file just contains the user shaun101 with the scrambled up
password. They are both in the same directory so when I log into my server I
first click usr then home etc etc. But for some reason no matter what I do I
still get direct access to the directory volunteer when I go to it in a
browser.
Anyone have any ideas what I`m doing wrong??
TIA

There are occasions when I'd like to execute some long-running task
in the background, in response to some user action. It seems that
PHP has all the neccesary mechanisms to allow me to do this, but
in my perusing of the manuals/FAQ's/digests, etc, I don't see such
a facility.
For example, I'd like to do something like this:
function long_running_background_task()
{
...
}
function handle_some_action()
{
...
fork (long_running_background_task);
}
In the cases I'd like to do this, I can manage synchronization
externally...
(i.e., implement join by waiting for a /tmp file to appear or
something),
so I'm not asking for a join, or any sychronization facilities.
Does anyone agree that this would be useful? Is there another way to
accomplish this? Better yet, does this function already exist, but has
managed to hide for all this time...?
thanks,
dylan
Im nearly posative this isnt what your looking for, but I thought I would
see if maybe it was :)
compile php as a cgi so you can run it from the command prompt. then just
run the php file from the command prompt through exec ()
<?
exec("php -q somephpfile.php &");
?>
untested of course.

What is the error that you get? What is the code you're now using that
causes the error?
It's like saying to your mechanic "When I do something in my car, it makes

Actually it would be like saying to a mechanic, Hey when I try to change my

asking for was an example snip of code.
But if this can help here is the error I get:
Warning: Session object destruction failed in

Here is the code I am using:
<?php
session_start("CONTROL");
session_destroy();

What's "CONTROL" supposed to be? A variable passed? If so, you should use:
session_start()
session_register("CONTROL");
//to end the session simply call it up by:
session_start();
//and then destroy it which also unregisters all variables passed...
session_destroy();
Granted, I'm new at this too but this method seemed to work for me in a past
project.

I tried to send this before, so if I did, forgive me, but I don't think it
worked last time .:)
I'm trying to find a way to handle errors by number. For example, if I get
a "directory already exists" error, I want to know what the number that is
so I can check the return value on the function that gave the error.
That made no sense. Lemme try again. Instead of getting the php-generated
error message, I want to create my own so the user has a nice message
instead of one that makes it look like I don't know what I'm doing. :) Any
suggestions?
Jason
You probably want to suppress the error message with an @ symbol. Try
putting an "@" before the function calls that give you errors.
<?php
$x = @php_function_here();
?>
This suppresses the error function. Many functions return FALSE if
unsuccessful, so you can test and supply your own error message.
<?php
if ($x == FALSE) {
print ("error.");
}
?>
If you find yourself doing this alot, you may want to create a wrapper
function or wrapper class around the original. Look at PHPLIB's DB_SQL
class for an example of how they suppress error messages. Look at
www.php.net for more info.

you want to avoid doing that, I recommend properly handling the error.

better to write a handler to deal with your errors properly.

Hello there,
Kristian Köhntopp and Ulf Wendel approached me today and told me that
they have decided to merge the existing classes and modules of
PHPLIB 7 and those that are currently beeing worked on (for PHPLIB
8, which will now never be released) into PEAR and asked me to
coordinate efforts in order to do so.
The merging with PHPLIB brings thought-through, well-tested classes
for Authorisation, User and Permission Management, classes for the
abstraction of forms (with Layout Management Engine) and a lot of
other stuff (table proxies, ...) into PEAR.
I hope everyone is happy with this step, at least I am. :-) Why?
Until now there were two standard repositories one could use and now
there is the opportunity to join the strengths of both.
One thing is for sure: The process of integrating PHPLIB's concept of
Auth/User/Perm into PEAR will not be finished over-night.
PHPLIB's Sess(ion) class is currently beeing ported to PHP 4 to act
as a wrapper for the native session-management functions of PHP 4.
What needs to be done now is port PHPLIB's classes for Auth/User/Perm
to PEAR::DB, because they are using PHPLIB's own database abstraction
system, which has come of age.
Ulf Wendel is currently working on the new OOHForms and a Layout
Management System. I am sure he can elaborate on this topic on this
list. Ulf?
A first, but rather unimportant step was my last commit which moved
the IT[X] template classes from phpdoc/redist to HTML/ and removed
the redist/ directory.
Yours,
Sebastian

Hello,
I have been toying with php for a short while and have
problems getting the following code to correctly
execute on Netscape:
<?php
header ("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Last-Modified: ".gmdate("D, d M Y
H:i:s",getlastmod())." GMT");
header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
header ("Pragma: no-cache");
for($i=0; $i<40; $i++)
{
$rand= rand(1, 40);
print "$rand<BR>";
}
?>
I included the headers because I thought this would
prevent caching, but even still, everytime I reload
and shift-reload Netscape (browser cache is set to
zero) I receive the same output from first access,
which really ruins any true random activity. Any
ideas?
thanks much,
Joel Dossey

Ah! excellent, it works fine now. I must apparently
skipped that line about seeding it in the php
documentation. (doh!)
I wonder why IE5.5 didnt need the seeding in order to
do the rand()?
Thanks alot,

Hello all
I have a little problem: Sometimes when you invokes some .php page, appears "could
not redefine function...". It looks like a Web server problem because If you try again
one or two times, the same operation works Ok. I´m using PHP 4, Win 98 SR2, PWS and
MySql for Windows.
Thanks.

You should use <?php. In future versions the open short tag would be
dropped or your administrator can disable the open short tag.

Well, I don't see the short tag ever being dropped actually. But yes,
<?php would be best for writing code meant to be portable.

Are there in fact plans to drop the short tags?

Short open tags won't work with xml. Therefore they won't work with
xhtml. They conflict with where the Web is going.
Thus, they have already been dropped. You don't _need_ them. Stay
away from them.

You know, this means that ALL of my hundreds of pages over multiple sites
would break. That's really sad.
I just think it's hard (to remember) when I have code like:
<A HREF="filename.php?var=<? echo $thevar ?>">this link</A>
to put in the 'php' there. It's so much easier just to code with short tags.
(although I have a program that can work in every app that will trap <? and
replace it with <?php everytime I type it. I could utilize that. (I love
Macs... and Spell Catcher.)

I'm trying to store an array into a MySQL
table, what datatype should the column be, Varchar?
second this is the code I use to store it.
mysql_connect("$DBHost","$DBUser","$DBPass");
$name = implode(",", $name);
mysql("$DBName","INSERT INTO CartItems VALUES
('$UID','$ItemID','$ItemQuantity','$all_toppings','$Date','$CartItemsID')");
this works fine, it stores the comma delimited info
into the table. however when I extract it and try to count($name)
it comes back as 1 and if I try to implode it it says Warning
bad argument to implode() and if I do this
echo "<font size=-2>".$name."</font>";
$name_test = explode("," $name);
echo $name_test;
the names item1,item2,item3 is returned,
but I get a parse error on the explode,
what am I missing...?

Is it possible to find out how much disk space a particular number of rows
in a table takes up?? If you have an answer, please email me directly.
Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you for the reply, however, I do not believe this will solve my
problem. So please let me explain what I am trying to do.
I'll use an example. Let's say I have a guestbook application. And let's
say that several different people have their own guestbooks. I would create
a guestbook table with, let's say:
rowid
person_id
(...other fields...)
What I want to do is something like a SELECT query, where I select all of
the rows by person_id. Then, I want to find out how much DISK SPACE is
being used by these particular rows.
I am doing this to determine how much disk space is being used by any
particular client. Each client is allocated a certain amount of disk space
usage on my server and I need to determine how much space they are using in
the database.
Any ideas on how to do this in PHP???
Please email me directly with a response. Thank you!!!!!!!!

I actually thought of that as a solution, but I don't know I would determine
the disk space usage of blob types, which I do use quite frequently and I
need the results to be extremely accurate. I was hopeful that there was a
function available to do this, but apparently not. Thanks again..

this page sho you in how to retriev table info (like space used) from a
mysql table using myisamchk... Give it a look!
http://www.mysql.com/doc/T/a/Table-info.html
The trick would be create a virtual table by join and use this command to
mesure the amount of memory beeing used by each user..
What do you think?

Thank you for the reply, however, I do not believe this will solve my
problem. So please let me explain what I am trying to do.
I'll use an example. Let's say I have a guestbook application. And let's
say that several different people have their own guestbooks. I would create
a guestbook table with, let's say:
rowid
person_id
(...other fields...)
What I want to do is something like a SELECT query, where I select all of
the rows by person_id. Then, I want to find out how much DISK SPACE is
being used by these particular rows.
I am doing this to determine how much disk space is being used by any
particular client. Each client is allocated a certain amount of disk space
usage on my server and I need to determine how much space they are using in
the database.
Any ideas on how to do this in PHP???
Please email me directly with a response. Thank you!!!!!!!!

I switched from Netscape to Openldap and it now compiles fine.
Unfortunately Apache bombs when I try to start it with the following error:

You're probably using some 2.x.x version of OpenLDAP?
You should then upgrade PHP to 4.0.4pl1. And then the Netscape
LDAP SDK should work ok too.

I had 4.0.3pl1 running on a Windows98 system. After I upgraded to
4.0.4pl1, calling phpinfo() still reports the version as being

No - 4.0.4pl1 definitely reports itself as such.
You must have a stale php4ts.dll somewhere in your windows path.

I have a website where each new page access connects to a Postgres
database to load information. Each DB connect uses a $dblink=pg_connect()
to connect to the database. I'd like to avoid the overhead with opening a
new connection with every page.
So, can I change all of the pg_connect calls to pg_pconnect call and have
the pages use persistent connections, or is there something more that
needs to be done?

The other question is what is the code to get the ip of the client that is

I could be mistaken here, but last I checked you could include files
outside of the document root. Can't get much more secure then that and you
don't have to mess with the Apache rewrite engine, which is known for
slowing things down.

Appologies in advance for any duplication, but I wasn't sure which list
would be best to use for this question.
I'm having a problem with PHP 4.04pl1 and Sybase/FreeTDS, but before I open
a bug report I thought I'd check if anyone else is having the same problem.
Server Details: Digital Unix 4.0F, FreeTDS 0.51, Apache 1.3.12 and
PHP/4.0.4pl1 (installed as an Apache module). Database server is SQl 7.0 on
an NT machine.
In my test PHP script, my connection to the database server seems to get
dropped after an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE. The INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE does
work (the table is modified) but any subsequent queries (SELECT etc) will
fail.
I can't reproduce this problem with sqsh or perl (using DBD::Sybase), so I'm
thinking it's a PHP issue. I've tried compiling FreeTDS
with --with-tdsver=4.2 and --with-tdsver=7.0; same result.
Is anyone else having this problem? I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
I've included my sample PHP script below (The first SELECT works, the INSERT
works, but the second SELECT fails).
If I do file this in the bugs database, should I list it as Sybase-CT
related or MSSQL server related?
Thanx,
- Darryl
<?php
$dbh = mssql_connect("server","username","password");
$query = mssql_query("SELECT * FROM Subjects", $dbh);
if ($query) {
print "First SELECT successful<BR>\n";
} else {

}
$query = mssql_query("INSERT INTO Subjects (Code,Subject) VALUES ('test1',
'TEST 1')", $dbh);
$query = mssql_query("SELECT * FROM Subjects", $dbh);
if ($query) {
print "Second SELECT successful<BR>\n";
} else {

The subject pretty much explains it all. I have 2 dates (YYYYMMDDHHSS

left from the later date to the earlier date. I figure I could do all this
using date arithmatic, divide by 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an

(or easier way) to do this before I start coding away.?

I'm trying to use the clasic CGI environment varable PATH_TRANSLATED via
Apache's Action directive (directing all requests through a script).
But PHP messes PATH_TRANSLATED up and all i get is a copy of SCRIPT_FILENAME
!
I'm using these directives in httpd.conf:
Options +MultiViews
Action text/html /script.php
A resuest for "/index" should result in:
PATH_TRANSLATED = /path/to/index.html
PATH_TRANSLATED = /path/to/index.en.html (for the English version)
PATH_TRANSLATED = /path/to/index.X.html (for the X version)
BUT what I get is:
PATH_TRANSLATED = /path/to/script.php (no matter what i request !)
Can anyone help me getting the real Apache PATH_TRANSLATED (which is actualy
shown in phpinfo() under "Apache Environment" but not under "PHP Variables")

PHP 4.0.5.dev
I installed it on my Windows 2000 Pro machine with IIS and MySQL and it works like a
champ
I installed it on my Windows NT Server with IIS and MSSQL and it will not read the
php.ini file
I put it in the following folders to try to get it to work
C:\winnt
C:\
C:\winnt\system32
C:\windows <-------created just to see if it would work
I used the same archive for both and even copied the php.ini from the 2000 machine to
the NT machine.
I have tried editing it and then restarting IIS ( net stop iisadmin ... net start
w3svc ) and no changes show up.
GRRR!!!
What's up here?
Thanks
i am getting this message on top of one of my pages.
i have read up on it and everyone says its a warning message
but from the things ive seen online no one seems to know how to
get rid of it.
any help is appreciated.
php3/red hat 6.2/sybase-11.9.2 is my basic config.

I have a site that uses PHP extensively. Each page has PHP, so of course each page
ends in the .php extension.
Does anyone know if this affects the way a search engine crawls a site? I have several
sites that are very successful, but this site does not even show up on the search
engines. All design criteria and submission techniques were the same, except I used
PHP on this particular site on every page.
Thanks for your help...

It shouldn't. I have a few sites that use .php files exclusively and
they all show up in search engines at some point. The spiders should
just see plain html returned to them anyhow, since the server is doing
the parsing. Have you checked to make sure you don't have a robots.txt
file that's blocking the spiders' access to the server(s)? That's the
only thing I can think of that may be causing you problems.

hi..
i have a client who runs a windows 2000 IIS server. now they want me to write them
some server side code that must run under this system. i need to know:
- does PHP/MySQL perform reliably under windows 2000?
- will PHP/MySQL be reasonably fast under windows 2000?
- which is the best implementation method - mysql as NT service, php as IIS module?
anyone have any real life experiences they could share?
thanks for your thoughts. i really dont want to have to dig my ASP book out.
jamie.
ps. i run FreeBSD 4 with PHP/MySQL myself and this is my preferred choice of server
setup ;)
I run W2K with Apache as my webserver, MySQL as a service, and PHP as a CGI
(I think...far from an expert in these matters) as a testing platform before
I upload my code to a live Linux Apache webserver. The W2K box is my
workstation and runs MS Office, Eudora Pro, PhotoShop, and other "normal"
user apps and it's rock solid. Can't really comment on performance because
I'm the only person hitting the "web site".

Is there a difference in the way PHP parses scripts in various operating systems?
I've gotten opinions that say PHP under Linux parses more/different code than does
under Windows NT.

It's mostly the same. But there are a few things that won't work on Windows,
like crypt(), certain filesystem functions and other stuff. Not that much.

What qualifies as "complete"? After each page is parsed and served to the

Dear everyone
Can someone tell me how to use Session Object
because when the user login the page
I want to store the login,pass,and type_login so that I can pass this
throughout the process.
I found that i can store that by using cookies ,but the problem ,some
computer can't store cookies,and it caused redirect to main page.
So,that i was asked to use Session Object By ASP people,and i wonder how to
do that in PHP?
thank you very much
Sincerely Yours

hello all,
I am having a form which contains a dropdown listbox
and a submit button. The user will choose any number
from 1 to 5 and hits the submit button. After this the
data that he had selected (1,2,3,4 or 5) enters into a
mysql database(this data enters into the row with the
latest userid) and a link appears, so that by click
that link he can go to next page.
I want to avoid the user from submitting his opinion
once again if he does it already.
Here is the code that i have wrote, which is going
logically some where wrong.
FYI : opinion and submit are the names of the dropdown
listbox and submit buttons. scene1 is the name of the
field in the table named testtable into which the data
enters(one of 1 to 5)
mysql_connect ('localhost','myname','password') or die
('<b>unable to connect to the database.</b>');
mysql_select_db ('usertest') or die ('<b>unable to
select the database.</b>');
if ($submit) {
$result = mysql_query("select * from testtable order
by userid desc limit 1");
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array ($result);
$id = $myrow["userid"];
$query = "update testtable set scene1='$opinion' where
userid=$id";
mysql_query ($query);
echo "<a href=next.php>Go to next page</a>";
/* this is the part i am trying to use to avoid him
from doing submission second time */
$result=mysql_query("select * from testtable order by
userid desc limit 1");
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array ($result);
$scene1 = $myrow["scene1"];
if ($scene1 == 1||2||3||4||5) {
echo "<script language=\"javascript\">";
echo "alert(\"You can choose the rating only
once\");";
echo "</script>";
}
}

"I wish the world had one throat!!"

IF (notice the CAPITAL IF) they have fixed their system stability problems
AND their customer service (or lack thereof) they would be a great service.
At one time I was web master for two domains hosted by them
(performanceamstyle.com and felineguide.com...performanceamstyle.com is
still hosted there by the choice of the domain owner).
The service would go away for a few minutes occasionally which wasn't too
bad until one day it went away for over 24 hours!!! No replies to email
requesting system status, I finally found a phone number to call them (it's
not on their site BTW), got an answering machine so I left a message
demanding a return phone call to my cell phone and NEVER got a return call.
After more than 24 hours the system came back up with no real explanation as
to what failed...I found out through a little investigating that some
changes I had made to felineguide.com just before the crash were gone and
replaced with old code. In other words they had a SERIOUS server crash and
had to restore from backups, but they didn't bother to tell me that.
About 2 weeks after the disaster the owner of performanceamstyle.com got an
email from the new director of customer relations (or something like that).
Basically that person said the customer service department was going through
a major restructuring and any response time over 24 hours was unacceptable.
Since that time I don't think phpwebhosting.com has gone down so maybe they
have solved their problems.
The owner of felineguide.com asked that I move their site to
below10host.com. I have never had a problem with below10host.com (I own
teamkaos.org and have it hosted there, felineguide.com is hosted there, and
I webmaster kaospetproducts.com there also). Their customer service is
excellent, they always respond quickly to requests and in the rare even of a
server failure they tell you what happened if you ask.

I was curious so I looked at their site.
They shout "unlimited" as loud as they can, for every service you can
imagine. But their FAQ says:

"Yes there is NO limit. Read our lips. There is really NO limit. But
even though there is NO limit, you still can't have more than 5GB per
month for our competition killing price of $9.95"
"Anyone should be able to understand that, right?"
They also claim they will limit each server to a max of 125 users. So
let's do a little math ...
125 users at $10 per month, is a maximum revenue of $1,250 per month
per server. From that meager revenue, they are able to provide their
customers with an OC-12. I would like to meet the genius who is able
to pull that financial rabbit out of a hat!

download tons of data from them. giga-commerce sites? Each page I go to I'm
downloading 100k of graphics.
I know what they mean, but they should definitely reword that.

And that reminds me of a joke ...
A man sees a restaurant and the sign says:
"All you can eat for $7.95"
He is very hungry, so he goes in and pays his money. Then he gets his
first plate of food, and eats it quickly. When he goes to get his
second plate, the manager comes over and asks him to leave.
The man says "What? The sign says all you can eat."
The manager replies "That *IS* all you can eat for $7.95!"

...and one machine is chewing up a whole OC-12?
Who says they don't have multiple machines on the same OC-12?
Just thought I'd throw in a comment; sounds to me like a wise choice would
be to pick another host. I've personally had a good experience with
Abhost.net, and their hosting pricing is similarly affordable but not quite
as unbelievable.

I didn't.
But even if they had 100 servers, have you priced an OC-12 lately?
And if they actually have a server farm large enough to justify an
OC-12, then how many people would be required to maintain a server
farm that large? What about the cost of those salaries? What about
the cost of the co-location space. What about the cost of ... etc,
etc?
When you add up all the costs, and compare that to the maximum revenue
they could possibly generate with a price of $9.95 per month, I am not
convinced they put much value on truth in advertising.

We're on an OC-12 too. But we don't imply that we have it all to
ourselves. Very few hosting providers, if any, do.
Offering value to customers means provisioning bandwidth which meets
your current and short term expected load. As long as that condition
is met, advertising OC-whatever is just a marketing gimmick.

Actually, isn't it possible / more likely that they're running one
server cohosted at an ISP with an OC-12 link?

Yes.
But the few ISPs who actually have OC-12 links charge accordingly for
their co-location service. They are not the cheapest you will find.

And if you walk in off the street and place an order, expect a much

I'd be suprised if it was anything else. At HostPro in Boise Idaho,
Moses Lake Washington and Boca Raton Florida you can get room for one
PC for about $250/month, 3 PCs for $500, and bigger cabinets that I
don't know about.
This includes a refrigerator sized UPS, and a diesel generator with
about 5 days of fuel outside. The room is always 75 degrees F. I have
less than 6 feet of copper wire before a switch. From there it is
fiber all the way. The last I heard we had 4 oc48's into the building
with more already planned. I have two 100Mb/Sec Ethernet cables
available to me.
If you need the bandwidth colocation or managed hosting at a facility
like this is hard to beat. Even for a big company that already has a
T1 or more for office needs, put the server in colocate and manage it
from your office. I just downloaded the PHP4.0.4pl1 tarball in about
10 seconds. Php.net must be on a fairly slow link, :) I've seen
similar sized files transfer in under three seconds. I never expected
to see files come in from the Internet at network card speeds, but it
has happened.
My original business plan was to bring in a T1 and have the servers at
my office. That T1 was ordered in March 1999. We just cancelled the
order last month. Still no T1, but after seeing the connection speeds
we get there is no way I want to step down to a T1 any more.

I am trying to run PHP in Windows '95 with Apache server. I followed all
the instructions in the installation doc, including editting the Apache and

file as plain text in the browser. What might I be doing wrong?

In my attempt to simulate array_intersect in PHP3, I tried nesting
while statements. While traversing one array to display checkboxes,
I wanted to loop through another array, testing to see if any of the
values in it match the current value in the outer while loop.
What I'm getting is that the inner while loop executes on the first
execution of the outer while, and then not at all. How would I get
it to execute each time?
Here's the code:
$childquery = "select * from flavors order by flavor";
$childtype = "flavor";
$childresult = mysql_query($childquery) or die(mysql_error());
$relationsquery = "select * from relations where
childtype='$childtype' and parenttype='$parenttype' and
parentsku='$parentsku'";
$relationsresult = mysql_query($relationsquery) or die(mysql_error());
?>
<form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>" method="post">
...various form variables...
<h3>Parent: <?php echo $parent ?></h3>
<?php
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($childresult)) {
$thevalue = $row["flavorsku"];
$thedisplay = $row["flavor"];
printf("<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"childsku[]\"
value=\"%s\"", $thevalue);
while ($relationsrow = mysql_fetch_array($relationsresult)) {
$thischild = $relationsrow["childsku"];
if ($thevalue == $thischild) {
echo " checked";
}
} // end while relations loop
printf(">%s<br>\n", $thedisplay);
} //end the child results while loop
Thanks for any suggestions!

Coming from a perl background, I got stuck there too when I started using
PHP. PHP has this odd notion of an array pointer. After the first time you
loop through the array, the pointer is at the end, so the second loop won't
really do anything. Use the reset frunction to reset the array pointer to
the first element.

The array pointer can be pretty useful. ie. give me the second last
element of an array:
end($arr);
echo prev($arr);
Or have it tell you what the index is at the second last element:
end($arr);
prev($arr);
echo key($arr);
and the index before that one:
prev($arr);
echo key($arr);
Perl has these too, they just aren't user accessible.
-Rasmus
Thanks! This is starting to make sense...although when I try to
reset what I thought was my array, I get the "Variable passed to
reset() is not an array or object" error message. Here's the
relevant code:
$relationsquery = "select * from relations where
childtype='$childtype' and parenttype='$parenttype' and
parentsku='$parentsku'";
$relationsresult = mysql_query($relationsquery) or die(mysql_error());
while ($relationsrow = mysql_fetch_array($relationsresult)) {
$thischild = $relationsrow["childsku"];
if ($thevalue == $thischild) {
echo " checked";
}
} // end while for relations loop
reset($relationsresult);
Thanks again for your help so far!

Nope. The array is $relationsrow (an array of the columns for the current
row returned by mysql_fetch_array). $relationresult is just that; a result
'flag' for the query indicating whether or not the query was successful.

Um, no. $relationsresult isn't an array, it's a MySQL result resource. Use
mysql_data_seek() instead.

Hmm. I get the same error for $relationsrow there.

OK, could this be why I'm getting the same error message for $relationsrow?
Thanks for the help, btw!

Not sure of a way (if any) to do that with perl's associative arrays. Chalk
one up for PHP.
Once I got a handle on the differences between perl and php arrays (perl has
two types; php just has one that works like a combination of both of perl's)
I was OK.

Hello,
I am doing a math function where I divide one number by another. I want it
to give me a whole number though, and if it is anything above a number I
want it to go to the next one up.
Example:
4.0001 would equal 5
3.98 would equal 4
11.023 would equal 12
I hope you understand what I am trying to say.
Thank you,

Hi,
I have a non PHP questions which probably doesn't fit in this mailling
lists, but I have a feeling that someone can help me because it is very HTML
related.
I was busy making a small piece of PHP echo code which generates a link
which enables you to click this and startup your email software with a basic
message in it..
The URL is basically the following:
mailto:$email?body=Dear $name, We would like to inform you.... With kind
regards, $sender&subject=Message send on $date about $subject &bcc=$bccopy
When clicked you will get the $email text as email address, the Dear
$name... etc as body of the email etc etc..
Now here the non-PHP questions.. I searched everywhere, but how can I get
line breaks inserted IN the email program..??
After the 'Dear $name,' part I would like to have 2 line breaks.. Then after
the We would like to inform you... another 2 breaks..
I tried \n, I tried <BR> (<BR> you simply see this as email text.)..
Is this possible.. Hope someone understande the problem.. (I am not trying
to get breaks in my source, or what you see on the screen, but line breaks
in the email text..
Thanks.
Bye Bye

You might try using \r\n instead of just \n. That is how I have parsed
out line breaks in textarea fields on html forms in the past. It may
work for what you're describing, as well? Hope this helps...

Thanks! That's a good, basic example to help get me started. I am
intentionally not using a database for the logging, because it doesn't
make much sense to add the overhead just to increment a number on a
single line of a file whenever something's downloaded.
Thanks, also, to Mukul Sabharwal for your suggestion.
I'll give them both a try and see what works best in my environment.

This is not a PHP-issue, its just a matter of how your webserver is
configured. With apache, you just have to add index.php as DirectoryIndex.

It's up to the server to decide what it will look for instead of
index.html, but the equivilent would be index.php, index.php3, or
index.phtml, depending on the version of PHP you have installed. (The
first-listed is PHP4, followed by 3, then 2.x) If you're using Apache
as your web server, look for a line in your httpd.conf (or apache.conf)
that looks like this:
DirectoryIndex index.html
Modify it to look like this:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.shtml index.php3 index.phtml index.htm
(if you want to be extremely thorough)
If you're using another web server, sorry, I can't help. :)

Actually,
You need to set this up in your httpd.conf file (if you're using
apache).
look for this line in your httpd.conf
-----[cut]---------
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
------[/cut]--------
and if index.php isn't listed there, then add it.

what you can do also is using a HTTP header to redirect the user
automatically to the index.php:
the head of index.html could look like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=index.php">
</head>
By this way you don;t need to change anything on apache...

Make yourself a style sheet file with something like this in the content:
""text-decoration: none "" will say to the html not to show the inderscore
bellow the link.
A.LinkMain
{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; font-style:
normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: normal; font-variant:
normal; text-transform: none; color: #FF0000; text-decoration: none
}
Then declare this in the beginning of your html or php:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css_file_name">
Then add the class declaration in your href:
<a href="DnD/Arlos.htm" class="LinkMain">something</a>

do this INSIDE the head tags:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
a { text-decoration: none }
a:hover { text-decoration:underline }
-->
</style>
this create the famous effect of when you mouse over appears the underline
you can also set colors by: color: #XXXXXX, like the following:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
a { text-decoration: none; color:#000000 }
a:hover { text-decoration:none; color:#FF00FF }
-->
</style>

Is there a way to programatically enable the register_globals option for a
php-script?
For certain reasons I have the register_globals option set to "Off".
However, phpMyAdmin will not work unless it is set to "On" therefore, I
thought of making a check in the "config.inc.php" if the option is set, and
if not, set it.
Is there a function that I can call?

Ugh. Don't do it that way. Instead use <Directory>, <Location>, or .htaccess

Hey Guys,
I wonder if anyone can shed light...
I have a system that internal users access -
I have separated access levels into 1, 2, 3 etc. So if you have access 1
you can view certain things - If you are 2 then you can view more or other
things.
However the problem arises when someone in access level 1 wants to access a
level 2 function. I then manually specify that:
if (access = 2 or user=joe) {
Allow the functions ...
}
This can get messy - as individuals will be specified all over the place on
a large system to override levels of access.
Is there a sensible standard that is used to have levels of access but
special people can access certain higher level functions.?
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks

Instead of having individual users specified at certain points, why don't you
say that a user has to be a member of a certain group? That way in order to
open an access lock for a user, all you have to do is add them to the group.
You could even make the security levels groups themselves.

I've seen a (rather good, I might add) permissions structure that followed
a pattern like a unix filesystem.
/general
/users
/products
/sales
/marketing
/admin
And then added specific permissions as required under that.
So, if you wanted one person to be able to access the Admin Delete
tool, you could specifically add "/admin/delete" to their permission
list, while someone with "/admin" permission would be able to access
"/admin/delete" by default.
I'll see if I can grab some MySQL table definitions and the like
if you'd like them...

Just a side note: A very nice way to do this is using bitwise operators
to store all your access information into one int This is handy for
saving space in databases, and bitwise operations should be incredibly
fast compared to string comparisons.

Why not have a database with all usernames/passwords/access levels in
there, and when the user logs in (either with htpasswd or a form login
script system) that info is recorded by a cookie.
Than have a function which is at the start of every page which passes the
access level of the user, and which levels can access the page. Say there
was 5 levels, you could call the function this way
auth_user("$access_level","N","N","Y","N","Y");
The function just needs to grab the first variable as the users given
access level, then the next 5 variables state whether levels 1 thru 5 are
allowed to view the page (only level 3 and 5 can view it in the above
example). If the users access level returns a Y for its corresponding
level, then its allowed to proceed, otherwise they are shuffled off to a
page telling them to (nicely) go away.
I dunno if this is a clutzy way of doing it (chances are it is) but thats
how I would try and implement it, and you can also create a nice simple
admin screen system to maintain all users and access levels. Change it in
the DB and its instant on all pages.

Hello,

connection and bind to a directory but then I get an error about an object
not being present:

As I said, I am new to LDAP but I was assuming I could perform some kind of
search to determine the schema and then access information based on that.
Is this true, or do I need to know the layout to get to the data?
Any help will be appreciated.

Your filter is definitely wrong. Take the or operator ("|") out of it.

I think you're looking at this backward - LDAP heirarchies are such that
the root or top level is farthest-right, like DNS... so I think you may
just need to do this instead:
$dn = 'ou=exchangeservername, o=mycompany';
Assuming that branch actually exists, that is.

try a blank page with

Yo!
I am wondering what the difference is between mysql_fetch_array and mysql_fetch_row. I
tried using this code:
$result = query("SELECT * FROM index1");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {...
but $row[] does not contain any data, but when I changed it to:
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ... it worked just fine.
So what is the difference?

mysql_fetch_row() uses numeric indices, whereas mysql_fetch_array() can also
provide string indices.

Hi,
We have installed PHP pretty much to do one thing, which is to get
data from our head office website and place it on our club site.
We need to have a message saying something like "The Results are not
available until after the event".
I can supress the error messages by adding @ before the functions but
that's the best this dork can manage at this early stage in his PHP
Programming career :-)
I know this must use if and else or something and I'd appreciate
someone untangling my newbie brain.
This is the code we are using now.
<?
$file = fopen("http://www.ourheadoffice.co.nz/results/race01.html",
"r");
$rf = fread($file, 200000);
$grab = eregi("<tr bgcolor=\"#CCFF99\">(.*)</html>", $rf, $printing);
fclose($file);
echo "<table><tr>";
echo $printing[1];
?>
Thanks in advance.
Dave Stewart
Take a look at the changes I made to your original post; this assumes that
the file isn't there until results are posted - hope that's the case ;)

I think that the file is always there...It would not be easy to sabe the
current message in a text file and compare it with the new one that fopen is
bringing??

Hello all,
I am trying to build an IRR calculator using PHP. The number of cash flow
streams I will have at any time will vary, so I am using a loop to build the
formula. Then I am iterating to solve the equation and output the solution.
As most of you know, I am solving the following for r:
0=SUM SERIES(CF(i)/{(1+r)^n))
I can build my formula sucessfully with the following;
$form="";
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$form.="$CF/pow((1+'$r'),$N)";
}
But it recognizes $form as a string, so when I put it in my "solution for r"
loop:
for($r=-1.00; $r<=1.00; $r=$r+.0001){
if($form>-.001 && $form < .001){
$IRR=round($r*100, 2);
}
}
echo "$IRR%<br>";
BTW, I have also tried building the $form as a variable, but since I don't
have a value for $r it just puts in zero and sets $form equal to the right
side of the equation. Therfore, instead of inserting a formula into my
"solution for r" loop, it inserts a constant for $form.
I think my solution is to build the formula as a string and then insert it
into my "solution for r" loop, convert it back to a real formula and then
iterate for the solution. Is this possible? If not, any suggestions?

Your best bet is to write a function to do that. Look in the PHP manual for
details.

IIS I'm not familiar with, and Apache has a native scheme involving .htaccess.
If you want a portable authentication method, I'd recommend authenticating
against a list of users/passwords contained in a database. Using MySQL,
PostgreSQL or Interbase would keep your database platform neutral, and low
cost.
Here's code picked up from a Rasmus Lerdorf article which authenticates
against a MySQL database, there are variations on this everywhere. I put
this in a file called auth.inc, and then the top of every page which
requires authentication simply includes "auth.inc".
------------cut------------
<? require( "dbname.inc" );
function authenticate() {
Header("WWW-authenticate: basic realm=\"Auction Maintenance\"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
$title="Invalid Login";
include( 'header.inc' ); ?>
In order to proceed you will need a valid username/password.
<?include ("footer.inc");
exit;
}
if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
authenticate();
} else {
mysql_pconnect("localhost","root")
or die("Unable to connect to SQL server");
mysql_select_db( "$auction" ) or die("Unable to select database");
$login_id=strtolower($PHP_AUTH_USER);
$query = mysql_query("select * from admin where
cAdminId='$login_id'".
" and cPassword='$PHP_AUTH_PW'");
if(!mysql_num_rows($query))
{
authenticate();
}
else
{
include( 'header.inc' );
}
}
?>
---------------------- cut ---------------------------
Hope this is useful. If you use PostgreSQL the calls will be different, and
it may be best to use ODBC, then you will truly have portability.

Opps -
Forgot -- dbname.inc just contains the name of the database.<? $auction =
"auction" ?>
In production it also contains the name of the user and the password.

I have a bit of a question which ive tried to look into, but I cant seem to
find the right commands to check into or what the best method of attack it.
Basically, I want to grab a URLs data, make the data a string (which im
doing with fopen and fread).
But now I have the entire html as a string, Im confused as to how I best
attack stripping just the data I need out of it. There is alot of stuff at
the top of this particular page before the actual content starts.
Is there anyone who has some examples of how they have attacked this type
of task, or even just point me in the direction of how to start ?
I have tried to utilise strstr() but because there is no real comon thread
starting off the data I need, I cant really use it properly.
There is always a common word in the data (its a local weather output).
For example, today it was -
...size=4 color=white>Todays weather will be 28 degrees in Sydney</font>......
with a whole bunch of other site crap up the top. What im trying to do is
simple extract everything between the > and the < wherever the word weather
appears (its the common word) and its totally baffling me.
Any help would be great.

Ok, I need either a tutorial or someone who has done so in the past to tell
me how to do this.... I want to log and reference the key words used to find
my site from referring search engines... like so:

81 body jewelry
43 body jewlery
32 3d studio max
21 bodyjewelry
11 3d studio tutorials
I cannot relay on any log file, I have to create it myself.... (Long story

knows of a tutorial then please pass that on as well...
Thanks much.

I have spent a lot of time working on a specific E-Commerce (shopping-cart) to fill a
need for a customer. Now that the project is complete, I would like to market the
product, which is entirely PHP and MySQL.
My question is: Is it ethical to sell a product ( at a relatively low-cost) written in
PHP, especially since this group made it possible?
If that's ok to do, does anyone have any ideas how I can put a time limit on a demo
that isn't easily defeated?
TIA,
Shane
There are no restrictions on that. In fact the license on PHP is
explicitly not the GPL for this very purpose.
As for restricting the demo. I would suggest restricting it via a
license. Any serious customer is not going to violate a license in order
to save a couple of hundred bucks.

How does the license of PHP have anything to do whith the code that
Shane has written (unless he is distributing his software with PHP,
much as like an embeded system)?
This hits back to a point that I raised that never got much attention
from this list.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=97803110406749&w=2
(emphasis on the last 4 paragraphs)
Shane, you should license your code how you feel fit. However, since
PHP isn't a compiled language (yet) you will have to find a license
that fits your needs while keeping in mind that your code has no
choice but to be opensource.
I forsee (hope), eventually (as happened with C and Java) other
companies and groups (other than php/zend) to have interperters and
compilers for PHP as a language. I would love to see this happen. I
would love for it to be legal to free distribute machine code that was
originally written in a language of my choice (PHP) and not be bound
to Zend's licensing agreement.
C eventually became open. Even (to some extent) Java has become open
because there are enough choices of virtual machines -- not just Sun's
any more. I would love to see openness (other than in source -- but
yet a restrictive license) in PHP.
My main point that I'm trying to make is that PHP is wonderful
language. It is an okay technology. I say okay because it is bound
under a restrictive license completely controlled by a single party. I
want to see the language grow and flourish and the interpreters be
many and great.

There are no restrictions on that. In fact the license on PHP is
explicitly not the GPL for this very purpose.

I have no idea whether he is distributing PHP along with it or not. The
simple point I was making is that he can. He can put Apache and PHP on a
CD along with his code and give it to a customer as a nice integrated
bundle without license hassles.

Soooooo true.
But why would Microsoft be using PHP? =D

Shane,
This is highly off-topic but interesting and important enough to answer.
It really boils down to who owns the product (intellectual copyright) and
what sort of agreement you have with your client (ownership, confidentiality
etc.).
If your client paid you to develop the E-Commerce system they would
typically own all rights to it unless otherwise agreed upon.
It wouldn't really be fair to your client if they invested time and $$$ to
build the E-commerce system and you turn around and sell it to one of their
"potential" competitors for a dime. The issue isn't necessarily your
monetary gain but the fact that you may be undermining your clients
competitive advantage, something they invested in. In other words, why
should another client get it for less?
My suggestion would be to talk to your client and come to some sort of
agreement on copyright and restrictions (if, when, and how much you can sell
it for). Who knows, your client may tell you to "run with it and make
whatever $$$ you can" or they may say "that is exclusively ours and you
can't sell anything remotely similar for 5 years without our permission".
Be up front and honest with your clien.
My background:
I am registered Professional Geoscientist in Saskatchewan, Canada (similar
to professional engineer), which means I am required to abide by certain
ethics and rules of professional conduct, so I know little bit on the
subject.
This means that everything I do, as a professional, must be conducted in the
best interests of the public and my clients.
I must put these issues at the top of my list:
- Safety and well being of the public is #1.
- Diligent and responsible.
- Fair and honest
Hope this clears things up a bit

Why would Microsoft be using Solaris, or Linux even? (hint, the same
reason -- their stuff works less good).

So what? They'll do that anyway unless you spend a significant amount of
energy coming up with weird protection schemes. And even then they are
likely to hack it.
Add a sane license, forget about the people who hack it, chances are these
will turn into sales eventually in some way anyway.

Well, I can agree with that too..
but something you will always have to give them, something like
support/update of the software, allow them to do something they wouldn't
like to do without the license etc...
It is a VERY HARD thing writing a RIGHT license...
we (maybe except you, Rasmus) are just more likely not good enough to write
a good license, the one which will totally satisfy a customer and will
encourage him to purchase it.
my point is: licenses aren't codes - if you are a programmer you'll have
some hard time writing it well.
Cheers,
Maxim Maletsky.

Wow, I caused quite a debate. And I thought I would get slammed :)
BTW - PHP / Apache is going to be up to the client at this point. :)

Dear All,
Lately I've noticed that my Apache error logs were filled up with HTML
sources. Logs grow rapidly and I have to clean it every once a while. Is
that caused by any particular PHP error? Normally I should have just one
line per error, shouldn't I? Is there a way to trace or turn it off (stop
dumping HTML sources to error log)? Thanks for any comments!

Well, find the page on your server with the HTML that matches what's in
the error logs and you should be on your way to finding out what's doing
it...

Hello everyone,
I just download apache v 2.0a9 and PHP 4.0.4p11. When I tried to
follow instructions on installation, it didn't work. I ran
cd ../apache_2.0a9
./configure
cd ../php-4.04p11
./configure --with-mysql --with_apache=../apache_2.0a9
I got the following error
Invalid Apache Directory ...
I looked in the configure script and realized that it is trying to find
httpd.h in the directory apache, NOT INCLUDE! so, I just did a ln -s
include apache in the apache directory and it worked. Have Fun!

How can I pass an anchor tag attribute to a page?
e.g. If I want to echo "1" on page_two:
page_one.php contains:
<a href="page_two.php" > <? $id="1"?>click</a>
page_two.php contains:
<? echo($id); ?>
but page_two is coming up blank after a delay... what I am doing wrong?
thanks,
andrew
