Hi,
I am planning to migrate my current web server from
redhat 7.x to 9 and I am currently evaluating what may
go wrong or need special attention before I actually
replace it.
After searching the archives and other lists I still
have a couple of questions :
a) apache
It seems that apache + php does not work well under
heavy load so I should stick with 1.3.X right ? Any
ideas where I can find a rpm package for redhat 9 ?
b) oracle support
For the current setup I've downloaded and installed
the oracle 8i (8.1.5) in a separate machine, tar.gz
the lib directory in order to compile and run php with
oracle 8i.
Is this the best approach for Redhat 9 or should I try
to install oracle 9 which hopefully may have a
devel-only option ? Note that php needs to access
external oracle 8 servers which I do not mantain.
Regards.

I can't help with the Oracle question, but yes, stick with apache 1.3.x
for the moment...
It would also pay to look at what version of PHP you're currently
running (eg 4.1) and see what major changes you're likely to experience
when upgrading to the latest stable version.
If your existing version is pre 4.1, the register globals will be an
issue, for example.
Sorry, I have no idea what version of PHP was on RH 7

PHP can fork on Unix, just not from a web environment. So you need to
execute the command from the command line or maybe an exec.
Take a look at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcntl.php

Hi Readers,
Heres what i'm trying to achieve:
A script, that uses multiple fsockopen()'s and simltaniously get feedback
from each socket from fget()s. Now, since using a single fget() needs to be
in a loop then it's not possible to have more than one loop going at the
same time.
I was thinking of using a break command, then getting feedback from the
other loops, and breaking each of them inside a encapsulating loop -
however, this is VERY ineffective.
What I thought about doing was just using the same script launched multiple
times, so it has diffrent proccesses running and therefore would be able to
complete the task of having multiple loops running at the same time on the
same system.
The problem I've found out is that on Unix (the desired OS breed), PHP can't
be forked - so using a start.php script to execute multiple system() calls
wouldn't work becuase PHP waits till the system() function has finished
before carrying on with the rest of start.php.
i.e. The following won't work:
PHP:------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
system ("/path/to/php /path/to/script.php &");
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically, i'm asking if anyone has a work around, or alternativley a answer
to my problem?
I'd much appritiate it, or any help you can contribute.
Thanks in advance, or for atleast reading to this point

This is something you would probably do with your e-mail server, not
with PHP. You can log all of the emails sent by your scripts by writing
a wrapper around mail though. Basically check your SMTP daemon's
documentation whether it be sendmail, qmail or something else and look
for auditing or accounting.

Im using PHP to write to XML files, but I am having some problems. A lot
of users are cutting and pasting content from text editors like word,
which uses odd quotation marks, dashes, etc. which PHP writes to the XML
file, and then the XML parser does not under stand. Is there a
stripslashes() or htmlspecialchars() equivalent that will convert this
kind of stuff to the correct ascii text?

This should get you started. It behaves as does htmlentities().
For those high-ASCII characters out of Word/IE... decide what regular ASCII
character you want to map them to, (eg slanted-quote-open and -close to
regular quote), and add them to the $trans array before performing the
array_walk().
function xmlentities ($string, $quote_style = ENT_COMPAT)
{
static $trans;
if (!is_array ($trans)) {
$trans = get_html_translation_table (HTML_ENTITIES, $quote_style);
array_walk ($trans, create_function ('&$a, $b', '$a = "&#" . ord ($b) .
";";'));
}
return (strtr ($string, $trans));
}

Here's what I have been using.
$trans= array("'" => "'", "'" => "'",">" => ">", "<" => "<",

The following function is from Larry Ullman's PHP and mySQL on page 217 -
script 6.8 - in which there is a connection to a mySQL database using PHP.
My question is that I'm not sure of the global variable $dbc.
If I am to understand...this made up function escape_data() will receive a
piece of data - say $_POST['first_name'] - and then check if
magic_quotes_gpc is turned on in the ini file.
If it returned true, then stripslashes will be applied to the data - if it
is not turned on, then slashes will be applied to the data variable.
What is the reason that the global variable $dbc is declared in the
function - I cannot find another instance of $dbc outside of the function in
script 6.8.
Thank you,
Tony Ritter
.....................
function escape_data($data)
{
global $dbc;
if (ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc'))
{
$data=stripslashes($data);

}
.............................
//check for a first name

dbc looks like a MySQL Connection Resource, a connection returned from
mysql_connect. It looks like this function is using the mysql escape
function to make sure the data is properly escaped for that particular
database. If you use a function other than mysql_real_escape_string you
can remove the $dbc variable.

Anyone know of a way to use a variable that isn't defined until further down
the script at the top. I have a counter and once everything runs through
the script, the count is complete, I need to display this at the top above
the displayed results. I thought about and tried a function but I still run
into the same problem.
thanks
--- End Message ---

You can't get the intended value from a variable that hasn't been
defined yet, obviously because you haven't given the variable a value.
If you are trying to make something like a counter you may consider one
of the following:
1. Insert the value into a database like MySQL or PostgreSQL,
2. Write the variable to a text file
3. Use PHP Sessions to store the variable between requests.
Of these choices #1 is generally the best choice, #2 will not deal with
concurrent requests well and may corrupt the information, #3 will only
work for a single visitor.
If the values are in an array you might use count($array) that will tell
you the number of elements in the array, if the values are a delimited
string you can use count(explode('seperator', 'data')) or something like
that. The other thing you can do is run through the loop and instead of
printing output put it into a variable, then at the end of the loop
print the number, then print the variable containing the output, then
print the end text.

Ok, this is completely off the top of my head, and there is more than
likely a better way, but if you HAVE to do this, then I guess here's an
option:
1. turn on ob (output buffering at the top of the script
2. where you want the counter to be, echo something unique like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@
3. once the script has ended flush the contents of OB into a variable
like $obContents
4. do a str_replace('[EMAIL PROTECTED]@',$yourCounterValue, $obContents)
5. echo the $obContents to the screen
I think a smarter way would be to re-organise your code somehow so that
it does what you want, but maybe that can't be done (no way to know
without seeing the code).
Good luck,
Justin French

You could use some dHTML. At the top of the page, you would print
something like
<p ID="CountingID">Calculating count.</p>
Then, after the computing,
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
document.all("MyID1").innerText = 'Total Count: $count.';
</SCRIPT>
This code is probably very browser dependant, so YMMV.

Hi,
I am trying to write data to a text file on my Windows 2000 server using PHP
at the command line. I am running PHP 4.3.2, and the script uses the 'touch'
function to create the file (which works fine) but when I try and open the
file to write to it and errors. Anyone any idea? I have checked the security
and also IIS access.. I would assume however that if touch works then so
would fopen... I am stumped. Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't know how MS encodes its "smart" quotes but there are certainly
Unicode-compliant equivalents:

And XML is friendly to utf-8 (assuming you do want utf-8).

Identify common problematic characters, and develop a function (series
of str_replace()'s) to convert them to suit.
Over time, you can always add to this function as you spot more
problematic characters.
Also look at something like Tidy (see archives in the last week where
it was discussed with the subject "tags to lowercase").

How you create an FTP account all depends on what ftpserver you're running.
Some may use the system accounts, others may have its own list of accounts,
others still may use a dbms to store the account info.

So do it then.

1) OK, *how* have you installed and configured qmail?
2) How do you add users right now?
If you can't answer those two questions then no-one can help you.

Hi,
I've searched the net for various information on PHP usage in the
enterprise. I've searched Forrester
(http://www.forrester.com/search/1,6260,,00.html?squery=php), Gartner
(http://www.gartner.com) and
Google(http://www.google.com/search?q="market+research"+php) with little
results.
I know some popularity report exists here
(http://php.weblogs.com/popularity) and I also know that Zend has made this
survey (http://www.zend.com/zend/php_survey_results.php) but they are both
missing some essential figures on money, enterprise acceptance and so on.
We would also think creating a survey of our own - but we know that only a
company like Zend would be able to attract many other respondets from more
various areas than we do.
I would appreciate any figures on the web development market - because this
is the market for most of us - and knowing the market could only be a good
thing. I think we should consider this key figures:
1. How many PHP websites are developed per year in your company
1.1 What kind of applications bring the best profit
(CMS/Intranet/ERP/CRM/Dynamic Website)
2. Turn-over per year from PHP websites/company
3. Turn-over per year from PHP websites/employee
4. Where is your company heading in terms of market strategy - offer low
cost solutions, offer professional web development solutions, etc.
5. ASP/Java competition estimates (how many sites/application do they do,
how much is the market share for them?)
6. Some real market information for total web development/country would also
help to determine the PHP market share for all those information
7. Are PHP programmers spending money on software development tools or
prebuilt libraries?
8. Why do companies "reject" PHP solutions and how what should we do to
improve their feelings on this?
We are also open on any suggestions on this research's goal - as probably
there are other that know better how to do a market research.
Would this kind of survey work? Are there any political problems that could
prevent people filling it? We have a survey software and we would be glad to
create a public survey with those information that could help all PHP
developers convince their clients/bosses/partners that PHP is a viable
enterprise choice. I hope that you are also willing to change the conception
on PHP as the "Personal/low end" scripting language.
I'm looking forward to your comments,
Alexandru

I understand why your focus would be on the web development market, but
I also think that another segment of the market (intranet web app
development) is a significant market segment. There are many companies
out there who are using PHP to develop in-house apps (they are not
web-dev firms) and it would be these stats that would help to raise the
perception bar for PHP advocates. Then there are the folks who are
developing apps for use in the corporate environment (such as
phpMyAdmin).
I have spoken with others who use PHP extensively to power their
in-house applications for many business critical functions as we do. I
think that it would be prudent to include this segment in any research
about the viability of PHP in the corporate environment.

This is indeed a very powerful market - as most of the companies that
we've directly questioned (companies that do either J2EE or Microsoft or
embedded C) admitted they do PHP especially for Intranet - helpdesk or
bugtracker applications, etc.

We will surely include this in the research.
The reason I've started this thread would be to identify what should be
look for in our research - as probably we will not have an already made
research at our disposal as our market is pretty new/small/weird for people
that do research for money.
So I am still looking forward for responses/ideas and after this I will
probably create the survey and submit it for review to the interested
people, following to make it public

With the following code to translate messages in french,
we need to put the mo files in a directory like
./local/xxx/LC_MESSAGE/messages.{mo,po}
putenv("LANGUAGE=french");
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_BE');
bindtextdomain("messages", "./local");
textdomain("messages");
echo '<br>' . _("Yes");
On one linux webserver, xxx must be 'fr' (and LANGUAGE set).
On another linux webserver, xxx must be 'french' (no var to set).
How can I guess which xxx to use, for my code to work on
any webserver ? Other solution than using 3 or more directories
like 'fr', 'french', 'fr_BE', and copying it?
In fact, I'd like to make it work on windows servers too...
And how can I guess which env var to set (or not) and in
which order (LC_ALL, LANG, LANGUAGE, ...) ? Is there a way
to do it for the code to work nearly everywhere ?
I'll use a class to hide that complexity.
Can someone help ? The PHP documentation is far from beeing
clear and precise enough in that particular field.

Try using
$dir_name = setlocale(LC_MESSAGES);
After setup and that should return the string that gettext will use to
locate its files.

Thanks. But it looks like it's more complicated.
setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,'0')
returns fr_BE, but it seems PHP looks in ./local/fr,
not in ./local/fr_BE when searching the catalog files,
at least on one webserver. (using PHP 4.1.2, the other PHP 4.2.3).
I guess there is some kind of search path to locate the catalog files,
with some preference order. Too bad the i18n PHP thing isn't
more predictable :-/
Of course, I restarted the webserver (apache reload) between tests,
to avoid problems with the gettext cache.
I think I'll simply copy ./locale/french to fr, fr_BE, fr_FR
And something similar for dutch and german. But I thought there
was some better and cleaner way to do it, in a more manageable way.

Well, I'm kinda guessing here, but it probably goes something like this:
global $GLOBALS;
is the equivalent of doing
$GLOBALS = &$GLOBALS['GLOBALS'];
but this causes $GLOBALS to be a local variable within the function, so the
sequence PHP executes probably goes like this:
(1) set up $GLOBALS as a local variable of the function, masking out the
true (super)global $GLOBALS.
(2) look up the 'GLOBALS' element of this new local $GLOBALS -- this is NULL
as no value has yet been assigned to the local $GLOBALS!
(3) create a reference to the NULL obtained from this lookup, and assign
that to the local $GLOBALS.
So what you've ended up in the $GLOBALS which is local to the function is a
reference to NULL, hence the behaviour you're seeing.
Like I say, this is all guesswork -- albeit slightly educated guesswork,
based on my scant and very ancient (over 20 years ago!) experience of
writing bits for a couple of interpreted languages. Maybe a PHP internal
person might come along and tell me how close I got...!! ;)
Cheers!

No, it isn't. A true 2-dimensional array is completely orthogonal -- anything you can
do row-wise you can automatically also do column-wise, without having to write any
special functionality. An array of arrays, by its very nature, doesn't have columns
as such, so if you want to work with, e.g. $arr[*][1] you have to have special
functions to do so.
There are other differences, but in a nutshell that's essentially it.
Cheers!

Well, it wouldn't be weird if it were correct, but it's not, it's wrong!
Having executed this, the result should be:
$arr3 == 4
$arr1 == array('G', 'R', 'Sr', array('N', 'Su', 'O'))
so $arr3[3][1] doesn't even exist, since $arr3 is a simple scalar integer --
but on the other hand, $arr1[3][1] is indeed 'Su'. So it appears there's a
typo -- theirs or yours?
Cheers!
