Thanks! number_format() fixed it!

In the following snippet, I'm trying to open and read a URL into the
variable $contents.
I'd like to use preg_replace() to return only part of that string beginning
with say - regional and ending with new - but I get the complete URL string
returned.
Thank you for any assistance.

This exact thing was talked about earlier today, with the subject
'Using eregi_replace()'.

Right.
However, I've tried using the following code in which the text from the URL
is printed out completely and then I change the variable from $contents to
$text and using the line with preg_replace(), it still outputs the complete
text without the pattern match.
Any advice will be helpful.
Thank you.

hm.. I sort of misunderstood, preg_replace isn't what you need. use
preg_match instead.
I did some testing you can see the code and results here:
http://zirzow.dyndns.org/html/php/tests/preg/parse_doc.php
> $newtext= preg_replace("!.*?(REGIONAL.*YORK).*!","$1",$text);
btw, there these should be single quotes ~~~~~~~~~~^ ^
or "\$1" so php doesn't expand the variable (even though its an
illagal php var name.)

..................
Thanks Curt.
I checked it out and I still pick up the following lines which I was looking
to delete on the pattern match.
They are:
.............
Expires:No;;725283 //line 1
AWUS41 KALY 012014 //line 2
RWSALB // line 3
.................
It could be that when the URL file is being opened and read that these
characters are on _three_ different_ lines as opposed to one line/string and
the match is not being met.
I was looking to delete those lines and to start the match at REGIONAL.
Best...

yes it could be in the httpd.conf file.
look in your VirtualHost block and see if something there refers to a file
called loging.php

This is what my php.ini file looks like and I don't seem to have any

Haven't found anything yet. The login.php file is the one I'm trying to
view when I get that error. I have a second file "info.php" that works
fine, but all it contains is "<?php phpinfo(); ?>". So I know
apache/php is working, I just don't know why it isn't working with my
login script.

Hello all,
How do I go about checking if a file is a zip file?
Wrapping the zipinfo utility in php did not help since it does not return an
exit code whether it succeeded or not.

Well if zipinfo returns anything at all it's probably valid. If it
doesn't then it's probably not since it can't read the file properly.
But then again I've never heard of the "zipinfo utility" so I could be
totally wrong.

I'm assuming the zipinfo your talking about is part of the unzip
package. You should use unzip to test the files
unzip -t file.zip
will check the checksum for each file.
'man unzip' for further details.

I've not been able to find anywhere a good use of the pfpro
functionality in PHP. No where do any of the scripts ensure that the
script goes through it's full execution.
One person's solution was just to exec the pfpro binary in the
background, passing it the necessary arguments. This seems insecure.
I'd like to use PHP's pcntl_fork(), however, I read that using it in PHP
where PHP is an Apache module could produce unpredictable results.. Is
anyone using pcntl_fork with the pfpro stuff in a PHP compiled as a
module.....successfully?
Thanks

You cant use pcntl_fork() within a web processes, what might be
useful:
http://php.net/features.connection-handling
You'll be able to handle everything upto the point that you call
the pfpro->process function. Once that happens the payment will go
through. But if you are keeping track of results from the pfpro you
could flag the database that the user hit cancel.
What I would do instead would be to issue a ignore_user_abort(true)
and record the results in a database (since the output will not be
garenteed.) And not worry about what happens if the user does press
escape.
To be user friendly I would put a disclaimer, clearly visible, next
to the submit button 'Once pressing submit there is no turning
back', or something to that effect.

Hello,
As a recent flurry of activity has commenced within Command Prompt we
have released upon this rather unround earth, plPHP. Yes it is trigger
safe, yes you can write UDF's in PostgreSQL with PHP now.
Find it here:

Have a glorius weekend.

I have yet to know what it does, even after visiting your site.
I'm not sure what php-general's policy is on posting releases of
new software, i hope that it is discuraged. I can understand
plugs or promotional sigs but other than that I believe it is OT.
There are other avenues to promote your software and this list
(IMHO) isn't one of them.

This was last asked: in 2001
2. 2001-07-31 Embedding PHP into another application...
The solution suggested was to adopt a commericial package.
I have experimented with a javascript library, but I think the licensing
of php is more favourable; I am not lawyer though!
I have seen somewhere that someone wrote a C library to link to php.
Has this been done? I have searched the MARC archives for several
variations of embedded/link/lib to no avail
Thank you,

In comparing Perl's push to array_push in "PHP Developer's Cookbook" (2/e,
p. 76), the authors note that pushing an array onto another produces a
two-dimensional array. However, I have not been able to reproduce their
example result, and php.net/array_push does not document this behavior.
Just curious.
