Almost any distribution should work OK. I use Red Hat on one of my old
486 machines ... it is slow but it works. Given the machine
you're working with, the main issue is I think optimising or customising
whatever distribution you do use to improve performance.

rawurlencode seems to be what you want if you want %20; or see urlencode
which uses + for space character.

And that is because you need to do
$my_string = str_replace(" ", "%20", $my_string);
You have to assign the result of the function to something to see it :-)

Greetings,
I've run into a problem on my Win2k computer running IIS5 and PHP
404pl1. I've got a page set up to pull a page from CNN.com, parse it for
headlines, and print the results in an organized table of links.
Everything's been working fine since the beginning of January, but
suddenly it dies with a PHP warning and my die() message:
<PHP WARNING>
Warning: fopen("http://www.cnn.com/desktop/content.html","r") - No error
in _file_extract.php on line 5
<MY DIE() MESSAGE>
Unable to open http://www.cnn.com/desktop/content.html
The line that's generating the error looks like this:
$file = fopen($url, "r") or die("Unable to open $url");
So I figured maybe something was up with my fopen()... but apparently
not. I also have the same page connecting to the mysql server on
localhost to request a list of my reminders & tasks that need to be
done. However, connecting to the db server (on localhost) also dies with
the following:
<PHP WARNING>
Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't create TCP/IP socket (10091) in
basic_functions.php on line 9
<MY DIE() MESSAGE>
Error: basic_functions.php:9
Unable to connect to database
So now I'm completely stumped. I haven't changed anything as far as the
scripting on the page goes. I've tried rebooting (seems a likely
solution for windows, but it didn't work :/), I upgraded to the latest
PHP (I had been running 403), and even using the ISAPI module instead of
the CGI...
My apologies if it's obvious and I'm just not seeing it. Any ideas?

Hi,
This looks rather like a problem with your TCP/IP stack. Any changes made to
the w2k network configuration recently?

Yes, system() waits for the called program to terminate before PHP
execution continues, so that should work.
However, you may also want to look into building a custom module for PHP
so you can call your C functions directly from PHP. Info on the Zend
API, building PHP modules in C, etc., is available at Zend.com.

or cname the main PHP site that way we don't have to bog down/rely on
the primary PHP servers. jobs.php.net
Further to the other conversations on this topic:
We always investiate any companies that are looking for CGI, Perl,
and ASP solutions since many of them are just going off of whatever
hype or pop phrases they have heard... many times we have waltzed
in and taken the NT/IIS/ASP proposed project that some small to mid
sized company wanted to hire for and offer a FreeBSD/Apache/PHP based
solution that cost them thousands less in licensing, still nets us
profit on the server implementation (not just web dev folks), and gets
us so close to the customer that it would cost twice as much for them
to move their business elsewhere and have anyone sit down and figure
out what the code logic is.
Recruiters and HR staff are usually the last people that you want to
try and deal with... they are busy looking for people with 5+ years
of Windows 2000 administration, 5 different programming languages, and
5 years in marketing for a 50k a year position... and have no idea
what the job actually entails or the project goals are.
Personal opinion, as always.

Take into account that you need 5 Java programmers where one PHP
programmer would do the job (this is not blind rage against Java; we
have recently completed a Java [ATG Dynamo] project and it has taken 10
times the resources the same solution in PHP would have needed).

Can't tell.

This is true for our major client; they have decided to go to Java,
leaving us no choice but to follow. They might yet make up their mind,
as ATG Dynamo and Oracle bring in licensing costs of ~ $1m.

A lot of IT consultants will recommend something expensive so that they
can claim they wanted a 'bussiness standard' if there are problems. Get
more trouble when you have recommended Open Source [*sigh*]. I still
wouldn't, though.
> -What can we as a developer community do to change this?
Prove that Open Source is working, and better than many commercial
solutions, too.

This is something I like to do within my company: they used to buy software
online saying that it is still cheaper then develop it ourselves. Hmm.. I
always agreed, BUT in a different way -- sending them a link to Source Forge
- "Look guys, they have done a similar soft already and even in a similar
language, but, 4 FREE !!!!" Gezz,, when will they ever understand that
Phorum runs better then some $200 cgi-perl application easier to find for a
manager on AltaVista.
This is how we have to teach them.

Interesting. We're located in [not very large, but high tech/internet
concentration] Charlottesville, Virginia and there's a pretty significant
demand for PHP-based apps and websites. Then again, our target market is
small/medium businesses and small internet startups and after assessing a
client's needs, working with them to define a solution and developing a
proposal that nearly always uses LAMP the clients rarely care what we use as
long as we deliver. Sure, larger, stodgier corportate clients with IT
departments are more resistent to utilizing PHP and open source technology
for their enterprise solutions, but they aren't the only customers out
there.

Odd. My search on monster.com for "php" turned up 324 listings. I *wish*
there were less - we have listings 135 and 136 and have not found the right
candidate yet.

OK, a quick search on jobserve.com (mainly UK based jobs) threw up
52 contract and 282 permanent job postings mentioning PHP within the
last five days.
I've not noticed any problem at all in getting PHP jobs in London.
Although I've not tried contracting yet.
ContractorUK (http://www.contractoruk.co.uk/data-web.html) has a
table of contractor rates which ranks PHP at number 15 in order
of earning power at 44.31 GBP/hour (approx $65). Perl is number 6
at 52.66 GBP/hour (approx $78), just below Java at 54.32 GBP/hour.
Talking to the Perl and PHP Contractors that I know, they tell me
these rates are at the lower/middle end of the range. And speaking
from personal experience, previous companies I've worked for have
regularly charged out my time at over double those rates (not that
I see anything near that money myself). London rates tend to be
higher than in civilized places, as with all things.
(Brief history:
I learnt various fun, but not particularly commercial languages at Uni.
Picked up Perl while working in a Sysadmin role, then PHP/FI when roped
into developing a website. I converted to PHP3 with some relief as soon
as it came out and now most of my work is in PHP4 and Perl.)

Muito obrigado pela ajuda Michael!
Hi everyone!
To use de DBA database format, first i had to configurate php with
--with-db2 option. All works (configure, make and make install). But the
php script still not works. The line of the script that has a problem
is:
$id = dba_open ("/home/httpd/html/testes/test.db", "n", "db2");
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: dba_open() in
/home/httpd/html/testes/teste.php on line 5
That's the error. But, when i looks at phpinfo(), it shows that the php
wasn't configurated with --with-db2.
I wanna know, how to upgrate the configurations of php... I already
tried to delete the config.cache file, but still not working.
Anyone knows it?

It appears as though the sprintf() function is being misused. There's no
advantage to using it to wrap around an SQL statement.

Mmmmm, i really think that PHP is considered lightweight by some becuase:
1. Its easy. (Compare to C, Java, and the inconsistancies of VB)
We all know that real programmers only program in **** (insert the hardest
thing you know eg: Machine Code, Fortran, C++ or Basic if you're pretty sad)
with VI installed on on an Commodore 64 with a tape drive...
2. It's a scripting language.
This does make PHP seem less like a "real language", even though a compiled
Java class file still needs an interpreter.
But of course any comments like "PHP a lightweight language?" are typically
flamebait, and i would ignore them (well i will next time)

Subject: PHP a lightweight language?
I'm interested in the proposition made recently on this list that PHP is
somehow a 'lightweight' language that some people don't take seriously. I
am relatively new to Linux and open source programming and only really
know PHP and some shell scripting, though I am now starting to explore
Python.
I have had a quick overview of several languages and it seems to me that
they all deal with the same basic components and logic:
variables
statements
flow control
functions
classes
etc
etc
etc
So I'm wondering, apart from the fact that PHP is web centric, what
features does the language lack that prevent some from taking it
seriously? It appears to me to use the same basic elements and logic as
any other programming language. Maybe it doesn't have tedious requirements
for memory management like C, but so what? Neither does Python.
Any comments appreciated.

Seems to me that most languages can be considered "lightweight" in some
respects. After all, couldn't C be considered lightweight compared with
machine code?
And then, most languages are written in something else (something
heavier?): if I remember correctly, Squeak is about the only thing that
really eats its own dog food. And, from what I remember, such recursion
wasn't straightforward!
It's really a silly discussion. PHP does what it does exceptionally
well. You'd be barking mad to write an operating system in it, but you'd
be equally crazy to write a C application to do what a shell script does
or to use Java to run a regex on a text file.
The reason, I think, that there are so many languages out there is that
each has its advantages when used in a particular context. It may be
able to work out of context, but the overheads in development and/or
compilation or run time build up.

Hi All,
just a quick question. Say my script is inserting values into a
database, which has an autoincremental id. Now I usually send out a
mail also with the contents of the inserted stuff. The only problem
is that of the ID field. How can I get the script to determine what
id number was given to that row?
thanks

mysql_insert_id() is a PHP function for it.
however I recommend you using a build-in SQL function LAST_INSERT_ID().
i.e: INSERT INTO table SET name='$name', surname='$surname';
UPDATE table SET name='$name', surname='$surname' WHERE id=LAST_INSERT_ID()

If you are using mysql, mysql_insert_id will do that for you.

for mysql there is a function called mysql_insert_id(). that
function returns the ID generated for an AUTO_INCREMENT column by
the previous INSERT query.
try to dig documentation if you using another db.

There's no magic answer. And no offense, but if you categorize building
business solutions delivered via the internet as "writing PHP" then your
services probably shouldn't be priced at the higher end of the spectrum.
There are so many factors - size of project, complexity, reusability of
project components, turnaround time, your reputation, your speed, geography,
etc. And there are many ways to price a project. We use a combination of
flat rate pricing, estimates with a cap, hourly rates, retainer arrangements
and some more creative terms depending on another long list of factors.
As a PHP programmer and COO of a development and consulting shop, the
emphasis on hourly rate is something that really amazes me. Not all
programmers are created equal. A lot of clients don't recognize that. Some
mistakenly believe that a $120/hr. programmer is 20% more productive than a
$100/hr. programmer. Yet others think that a $200/hr. programmer must be
twice as good as a $100/hr. programmer. I find that there is *no*
correlation between hourly rate and the quality, productivity and value of a
programmer. Sure, in other non_knowledge_based occupations, there may be a
correlation, but in our biz I don't see one. Some say "you get what you pay
for", but b/c this industry is new there are a lot of unscrupulous
developers out there talking with naive uneducated clients. This is a
dangerous mix. We've talked to a number of prospective clients who were
charged $100,000+ for projects we could have done for $5,000. I couldn't
sleep at night if we gouged clients like that and in the long run I think
gouging clients will come back to bite you. We try to emphasize the total
cost to the client along with the benefits of our proposed solutions. We
try to state these benefits in terms of time savings, exposure, value-added
capabilities, revenue and process improvement. When you can put what you
can bring to the table in these terms the hourly rate becomes less critical
and it makes it easier to compete with inferior competitors that compete on
price alone.
So, in general what should you charge based on your skills, experience and
the types of things you are building? At a mimimum you should charge enough
to cover the cost of your operation taking into account the risk of not
staying fully utlized and adding on enough to make an acceptable amount of
profit. If after arriving at that number it seems that your target market
can't support that rate, reassess your strategy. As a rule of thumb, a
consulting biz needs to charge 2.5 - 3 times the hourly rate payed to its
employees. If you're a one person operation, you might think you need to
charge less, but I wouldn't look at it that way. Unless you have clients
breaking your door down and your clients aren't aware that there *are*
others like you, you'll probably have to spend a significant amount of
non-billable time dealing with running the business, doing marketing, sales
and other business functions. And if you're alternative is working as an
employee of another company and earning a steady paycheck (unless you just
don't want to work for anyone else) you should plan on at least making
enough to earn more than this alternative.
If I was trying to gauge my value I would probably start low, build up word
of mouth, client referrals and long term relationships and then increase my
rates gradually over time if the market allows you to do so. In my area a
green PHP programmer working part time might be able do contract work for
$15 an hour while a seasoned guru might be able to command $150 an hour.
Over time your programming skills, productivity and business knowledge
should continuously increase. As a result your margins should increase,
even if your so called "hourly rate" remains flat. Unless of course you
hire other people. That may make your operation much more complex and
difficult to manage than you may think. Plus, any development firm that
hires a PHP programmer is reducing the pool of PHP programmers available to
my company and I just can't have that. <grin>

It comes down to one simple thing:
You cannot know how much a project is worth to a client. If they're
willing to pay you $5000, it's worth $5000, wether you think it's worth
$500 or $50000. If I buy a pack of basketball cards for $2 that has
ten cards in it, then they're worth 20c each. If suddenly some
collecter says "ohmigod you have a jordan rookie card in there, i'll
give you $3000", it's now worth $3000, because that's what
he is willing to part with to own it.
In short, any skill, service, or product, is "worth" the amount of money
you can exchange it for" this is how the stock market works
(sometimes), it's how just about everything works. If they're willing
to pay it, you should charge it. They can go somewhere else, noone
is holding a gun to their heads.
Everything is a game. You want the most money possible for it, they
want it for the least amount of money, you compromise on something
you can both live with, or you don't do business, and next job, you
have to start over.
Some people won't look at you if you charge less than $150/hr, some
people won't look at you if you chargre more than 40.... it's just the
way it is.

Stay clear of any version built specifically for 586 machines. This
certainly means Mandrake, but may include late versions of other
distributions, so check with their home site.
But I'm unsure of what you "really" intend using this machine for. Do
you really want a home network (in which case conventional wisdom
suggests that the server should be the most powerful box on site) or
just something to run php or CGI scripts on with Apache or whatever?
If you can get back with details of what you want to do with that little
old box (and what other machines and Operating Systems you have) I can
maybe be of more help. Personally, I like SuSE.

Well, not being able to find much help on mod_rewrite, I hoped some guru
here might be able to help me.
I'm using mod rewrite to do a pretty simple redirect (or rewrite that it) to
a php page that parses the original url and allows for the output of all
sorts of content.
Works great apart from the fact that the POST vars are lost along the way.
And I believe the cookie vars too, but get seems to be ok.
So, does anyone know how to do url redirection or rewriting or whatever that
allows the post vars to be maintained? Please don't refer me to tim's
article on phpbuilder on the subject as I've read every word twice and all
the annotations to no avail.
Many thanks as always.

My browser pops up the save as dialog. I do have javascript enabled, so

I have been working on a similar 404 - actually just trying to modify

Are you seeing the page itself? I can't bring it up.

Hello All!
Sorry for this off-topic posting but this is extremely important for me.
I need a php script to be called each time my email mailbox recieves a new email
message. One way is to have a cron job running and get the php script to check my
mailbox every few minutes to see if there are any new emails and do the needfull if
there is one.
But I guess that there should be a way for the mail server to initiate some action
based on the reciept of a new mail in a particular mailbox. I don't think trhat sites
like Yahoo and Hotmail use cron jobs to sense new emails in a user's mailbox. Another
possibility might be that the checking is being done every few minutes by the client
application.
if anyone has any idea about the methodology being followed by Yahoo and Hotmail,
please be kind enough to pass it on. If anyone is aware of a mail server otr a
mailserver addin which would enable automatic notification and initiaition of script
on the reciept of a new email, please pass the info on.
I am on Redhat 6.2 with cyrus as my mail server and am using PHP4.

Depends on your mailserver. Most mail servers can redirect incoming
mail to a program, I know sendmail can. In your case just make the first
line of your script #!/path/to/php/bin/php and that should do the trick.
Sorry I don't know how to make sendmail do it, only that you can.
Check the man pages tho, shouldn't be too hard.

There is a nice program called procmail, which may already be on your
system. Alternatively, under sendmail you can use entries in /etc/aliases
to play around with redirecting emails.

To actually read from the message piped to the PHP script, you'll need to
use the following to read from STDIN:
fopen( 'php://stdin', 'r' );
The above isn't widely documented, but it works. With all this said, if the
original poster simply wants to let a web-based user know that there is a
new message in the user's email box, a better strategy may be to store all
of the messages in a database like MySQL and compare the timestamp on the
most recent message to the timestamp in a session variable from the previous
page access. It wasn't clear what the poster was attempting, but with some
more details someone (maybe me) could provide a good solution. Also, PHP
has functions for accessing IMAP accounts which could prove useful.
> Sorry I don't know how to make sendmail do it, only that you can.
Using sendmail you add an alias to pipe incoming email to a program (your
PHP script). You may also need to create a symbolic link in a directory
utilized by smrsh (sendmail restricted shell) to allow sendmail to execute
your script (this is done for security reasons). "man smrsh" for details.

Hi guys,
ok I have had the same problem,
what you need to do, If i correctly understood,
is go in the /etc/mail/aliases file,
then write there:
you: "| /path/to/your/script.php"
and your script will begin by:
#!/path/to/php/as/a/shell
<?
etc.....
?>
How this works is: send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
then this mail will be piped into your script.php
et voila !!
take care,
have fun,
take php,
nicolas.

This is a good solution for something this simple. [to original poster:] If
you're comfortable jumping into learning OOP (object oriented programming)
you can use classes. There are plenty of good tutorials on classes (b/w
phpbuilder.com, devshed and zend you should be set). Classes have a lot of
benefits which I won't go into, but one benefit is that it easy to use
related functions seamlessly and it's easy to create variables which are
accessible by all functions within the class (a class is essentially a
collection of functions that can talk with one another).

Hello Guys,
to be short:
1. what I'm doing:
I need to send some email recipients of which are some users from a
database. (this part perfectly works)
What I care about is that when they receive the email they see 'J-Door
Newsletter' in their from field, not our email address (
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' <mailto:'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'> )
3. how I'm doing it:
below is the PHP code followed by what message header looks like on received
email.
<snip>
$from = '"' . $POSTED['from_name'] . '" <' . $POSTED['from_email'] . '>';
mail( $rec['email'],
stripslashes($POSTED['subject']),
stripslashes(str_replace('%name%', $rec['name'], $POSTED['body'])),
"FROM: $from
\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=$encode
\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit"
);
</snip>

It all looks alright to me, however in from field of my email client I still
see ' [EMAIL PROTECTED]' <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'> instead of
'J-Door Newsletter' ,
What am doing wrong?

Hey there -
I was wondering what the recommended sites are to post/find jobs related to

Hi all,
I just downloaded php4.0.4 and tried to get it running on my linux-box
(SUSE6.3 Distribution).
Configuring with ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-oracle
--with-oci8 --with-gd
and then making and installing worked fine, but whenever I restart
apache with the php4-module enabled,
it crashes with a segmentation fault.
Any Ideas about this?
Please let me know if you need further information.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can 'tell' the Zend IDE to actually use Swiss-French
keyboard layout instead of french? I know it's related to Java thinking as
I'm living in Belgium, I must have a french keyboard layout. Yet, I don't,
and I can't type correctly now :)
Oh, by the way... Zend IDE for Windows is written in Java. Microsoft is
dumping Java completely. Find the mistake.
Thanks for helping me out.
Alain,
Have you tried changing your keyboard layout in the Windows Control-Panel
to Swiss-French?
As far as I know, Java uses your systems keyboard layout.
Java will be supported by other vendors such as Sun & IBM on Windows so I
wouldn't worry about it ;)
And of course our aim is to support UNIX platforms such as Linux which also
have Java support.

Hi Andi,
Yes, of course my keyboard layout is set to swiss-french in Windows, or I
couldn't use my keyboard at all. The problem only applies to Java software,
actually, and not only to Zend IDE as far as I can see. Fact is, however,
that my "Regional Settings" are set to "French". I guess the JRE is looking
for that setting and deducts the keyboard layout from it, instead of
actually using the "keyboard layout" setting, which -is- set to SF.
Maybe there is some config file or so that allows me to manually set the
keyboard layout to be used by the Java runtime environment ?

The Zend IDE is written in Java, period; You may consider this a mistake
if you're not fond of Java, but this has nothing to do with Microsoft
dumping Java (and switching to a Java clone called C#) for marketing and
courtroom reasons.
The same binaries are used for the Windows version and the Linux version,
and it actually delivers Java's promise of platform independence.

Hi again,
I just checked the Sun "bugParade", and this is a known bug (for over three
releases now). Swing components don't get the correct keyboard layout; they
assume that the keyboard layout matches the locale setting, which is,
obviously, utter nonsense.
I guess this means that the Zend IDE is not useable by anyone who uses a
keyboard layout that is a bit "special", e.g.:
* Luxembourg: most of them use french locale, but swiss-french or german
keyboard layout
* Belgium: some use french locale, some use dutch locale, some with french
layout, some with american layout, even some with UK layout.
* etc.
"Java - write once, run anywhere". Shouldn't this rather be: "Java - be sure
to use an US keyboard!" ? ;)

hi teodor && all,
thanks but i am not sure how to accomplish this.
eg. if i do:
$kids = $parent->children();
$node_to_delete = $kids[0];
unset($node_to_delete);
-- this won't cut it because i would just unset $node_to_delete,
right?
i am not entirely sure what the children() method returns but i guess
it is a reference into the tree and unset()ting the reference wont buy
me anything. as far as i understand php and references, that is. this
would only work if children() would return a true pointer, i think.
any further suggestions? i really need this; if i wasnt such a poor c
programmer i'd implement it myself...
tia,
peter.

I have a .html page, that is "called" (openfile) by .php script. I did
that to the designer have more freedon.
But know I want to but an JavaScript to verify if a date/hour is a valid
format for MySQL.
Where should I put the JavaScript? In .php or .html?
Or I should check the date and hour on .php script?
thanks,
Augusto Cesar Castoldi

Well you could actually put it in both, although it is easier to put
it the html since it avoids too much embeding.
ACC> Or I should check the date and hour on .php script?
It also depends.
The good thing about checking it with javascript is
that you are on the client side, therefore there are no query sent to
your server. If you use Javascript that also means the user doesn't
get sent to a page checking validity.
If you check it with Php that means the information is submitted to
the page and you treat it afterwards.

hi!
if u wanna use javascript the code should be added in html!
but it's better to use php for checking date and hour !
As long as u use php technologie get rid of these client side stuff till
it's necessary!
cheers

I think you want to use htmlentities ():
echo "<textarea name='foo' rows='20' cols='50'>" .
htmlentities ($Content) . "</textarea>";

Hi,
is there a way to find out what configure command-line was used to
compile the PHP module, if the apache is not running? if it was
running, phpinfo() would show that.
but currently the case is to try to re-compile the PHP with same
settings and see if it would start working. :)
Rgds,

I see in the posts, that a lot of people are using Apache on NT instead of the built
in IIS. Is there a reason? I have PHP up and running with dBase tables converted to
MySQL and ODBC connected to Access 2000, on an NT 4 box with IIS 4 and it runs very
well. Performance is great. My only problem is automating the conversion to update
tables in MySQL. I would like like to convert the Access 2000 tables also but the
converters either don't seem to work with Access 2k, or not much at all, or are not
such that a timed batch file can be generated using them. I just looked at what I've
written and it's a little jumbled. Mega-Sigh. Let me summarize.
1.. Why Apache on NT 4.0?
2.. Is there a good way to automatically convert Access 2000 to MySQL to keep MySQL
data up to date? The data needs to be updated several times a week. No I can't just
switch everything over and not have to convert again.
3.. A way to do #2 for dBase would be good too, but less critical because the data
only gets updated every couple months.
Thanks in advance.

Over 60% of websites use Apache. Many people using MySQL and PHP also run
Apache for the complete open source solution. This is cheap to set up, and
easy to get support for (there's even a mailing list called AMP -
Apache/MySQL/PHP). And, IIRC, those on NT 4.0 Workstation don't *have* IIS.
It's easy to configure and maintain, is constantly being upgraded and
bug-fixed, and has tons of support and reference online.
Just my 0.02 euros, obviously.
Cheers

1) I think that people use Apache as old versions of IIS were crap. In addition, it is
about the widest used server out there in the commercial world (Linux running Apache
with PHP3 is I believe the most common config at the moment) so if you're developing
something to put on such a site, it's more likely to work if you develop with
something close to that setup (note probs with case sensititivity and so on on with
Apache that won't necesarily be exposed on IIS)
2) Check out the MySQL (www.mysql.com) site and look to download myaccess2000_1_4.zip,
this is an Access plug-in that someone has kindly written to convert data and
structure from Access 2000 MDB to MySQL (I've not tried them, but I think it also
allows dbase conversion and a few others).

Tom,
Thanks. I believe myaccess2000_1_4 is one of the ones I've tried. I'll try
again to make sure I didn't miss anything. I used dbtools to do the dBase
conversion.
Agree that the older versions of IIS were crap, but newer one (version 3 and
4) seems to be pretty good.
