I want to be able to use SQLlite on my hosted (virtual) site.
SQlite will be placed in my /home/www/bin.
And need to be exicutable by Apache user or group?
Would either safe_mode_gid or safe_mode_exec_dir accomplish this?
TIA,
David

According the safe-mode page http://us4.php.net/features.safe-mode in
http.conf :
<Directory /docroot>
php_admin_value open_basedir /docroot
# In your case safe_mode_include_dir
</Directory>
Can "php_admin_value" be inlcuding in the *.php pages and/or .htaccess.
manual > ini_set()
It would seem form the ini_set() comments that the answer to both is yet:
---------
There is another possibility by changing PHP Settings!
If your Webspace is able to handle ".htaccess" files, you're able to
change PHP_INI Settings through this file!
To disable register_globals you have to set:
php_value register_globals 0
If you wanna set other settings, feel free, because there is no problem!
These Settings are set before running the script, e.g. the results of
register_globals, when setting a parameter in the URL like
'foo.php?foo=stuff', is not present, $foo is unset.
----
If itīs not your server and therefore you want to hide the data in your
session variables from other users, itīs very useful to set the
session.save_handler in your scripts to shared memory with:
"ini_set('session.save_handler','mm')".
Remember: You have to set it in every script that uses the session
variables BEFORE "session_start()" or php wonīt find them.

Hi,
Is it possible that some functions in different php versions (4.1 .....
4.1.2 ....) has problems with type castings so that the following script has
different results in different php versions?
<?php
if(FALSE === is_file('aaaaa'))
echo "is_file === no file<br><br>";
if(FALSE == is_file('aaaaa'))
echo "is_file == no file<br><br>";
if(FALSE === file_exists('aaaaa'))
echo "file_exists === no file<br><br>";
if(FALSE == file_exists('aaaaa'))
echo "file_exists == no file<br><br>";
if(FALSE === is_dir('aaaaa'))
echo "is_dir === no dir<br><br>";
if(FALSE == is_dir('aaaaa'))
echo "is_dir == no dir<br><br>";
?>

I'm using file_get_contents() to open URLs. Does anyone know if there is
a way to look at the result and determine if the file is binary? I'd
like to be able to block binaries from being processed without having to
try to think of all the possible binary extensions and omit them with a
function that looks for these extensions.

Greetings!!
If you define a constant within a function, is it local or global?
Example:
function foo()
{
define('BAR', 0);
}

ask a question, do not reply to an existing message.
2. Do some research before posting, you already wrote almost the whole
example, so run it an see for yourself.

I would highly recomend filezilla:
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/
It's open source, it works great and it doesn't have any ads or spyware like
some of the other 'free' windows ftp programs.

Isnt it funny i assumed you were using windoze ? Unfortunately i had to port
back to my XP machine which i use for audio stuff, X Windows gave me the
shits bad, fair enough it was a 500 celeron but still i am using a dual 533
celeron on windows no problem ?? I couldnt find a proper IDE and i ended up
having to use an ftp program that never stored the information and kedit
which wasnt the best really for development, and the machine after a while
(running Knoppix) starting slowing down to a grinding halt. Now i'm working
on my windows machine with Zend IDE and wincvs to my Sun box currently
running Solaris, but soon maybe Debian if i can work out how to boot the cd.

Is there any functions to pad the decimals in a number? There's round()
to put it down to two decimals, but what if I want to take it up to two?
Example:
5 -> 5.00
20 -> 20.00
4.3 -> 4.30
etc.

I assume you mean adding zeros to the end for displaying, not for
further calculation? Look at printf[1] and sprintf[2]. Here's an
example:
printf("%.3f", 4.1) // 4.100
[1] http://www.php.net/printf
[2] http://www.php.net/sprintf

I wonder if it's possible to write the MD5 or CRC checksum of my
scriptfile to the scriptfile. I know that if I change it, the value will
change, but is there any way to calculate what it will be?
Not just displaying it for the user, but actually having it written in
the file. Could be pretty usefull when distributing scripts. No worries
about losing the md5-file or sfv, etc.
Just some thoughts.

What you would have to do is find a collision, which is thankfully difficult
to do- if it were easy, MD5 would be useless. Theoretically, you could modify
say John The Ripper and have it brute force something, but you may end up
waiting a few lifetimes :)

I'd recommend PGP/GPG signing instead- anyone can create a valid MD5 checksum,
but only you can cryptographically sign your files (theoretically- if someone
else can, you've got serious problems)
Everyone seems happy enough with detached signatures. Also, you could use the
OpenPGP specification to do what you want, just like when you send a
PGP-signed e-mail the signature and the message are all in a single
container. You may have to hack GPG a bit (not as difficult as you'd think)
to have the PGP stuff in PHP comments, but i think you could do it... Sorry,
I'm rambling.
