Personally I think a single global resource is the best. Since you would be able to
search/browse specific locations, local job listings don't have much of an advantage,
except perhaps that what companies put in their ads varies from country to country,
and that's generally not a big issue. And people willing to relocate will probably
appreciate having to look only in one place.
That the job listings should be made available for syndication in some form or another
always felt so obvious to me I may have failed to mention it. Of course both
PHPCommunity.org and the local user groups would benefit from having the job listings
displayed on the web sites of the local user groups, so I'm all for that.
And users on PHPCommunity.org should be able to save default filters/searches for
easier browsing, as well as have notification of new ads (that match their saved
settings) sent to them by E-mail.

Hi,
I have been working with PHP for a few years now, and I feel very
comfortable with it. I am considering branching out into windows
application development, and I was wondering what language people would
recommend for someone comfortable with PHP.
I have heard that PHP can be used in this capacity, would PHP work for
me to create applications with a GUI?
I am sorry if this really is an off topic post!
Thanks

Hi,
I want to write a php script for handling the username and password of users
on my website. What strategies are used for password protected pages? I
don't quite know where to start!
One strategy that I had in mind was to have a folder for each user and
access it via the user name and password but then I though if the user has
the name of the folder they don't need the password! they can just type it
up and open it!
I guess my question can also be what strategies are most commonly used for
ppp?

I am trying to use any of the image functions with image data from a

gotten this to work, code you shoot me over some sample code, or
functions on what to do.

Hi there,
There is a strange thing with Browsers and forms.
In Netscape 7.x $_POST workes quite fine, while in IE it does not.
I am using a form with a graphical button:
<input type="Image" name="submit" value="submit" src="button.gif"
width="80" height="19" alt="button alt tag">
Inside a file I am trying to catch the form inside a if statement:
if ($_POST[submit]) {...
This does work in all browsers, but not in IE. IE simply never makes the
if statement true.
Does anybody know why? Thanx for any hint on that,
Merlin

Yes it's a bug in IE created by the latest Hotfix Microsoft released
to combat their stupid "phishing" error. There are no solutions. Have
a dig around in the mailing list archives for links to various sites
that give more details about it.

Yes true, sorry I didn't make myself clear - there is no solution from
a PHP point of view, i.e. if your visitor has the problem - there is
nothing you can do to fix it. You could however error trap it (i.e.
check that the POST data is entirely empty) and prompt them to update
IE? But that depends on your audience I guess (some people just won't
know how/be able to).

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me the best way to avoid errors using fsockopen(). I have
tried wrapping the function call in a conditional statement, and have also
tried calling the function and then testing the return.
Example 1:
$sckHandle = fsockopen($server, 25, $errNo, $errString);
if ($sckHandle)
{
code here...
}
Example 2:
if ($sckHandle = fsockopen($server, 25, $errNo, $errString))
{
code here...
}
both give this error on failing to connect to a given server:
fsockopen(): unable to connect to mx3.hotmail.com:25
I was under the impression that example 2 would not trigger an error if
fsockopen() failed. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Phil.

Is it an error or a warning? If it is a warning you can try use @

Hi Guys
I am building a newsletter system, and i have never really learnt the
correct way/format or exact content that should go into mail headers.
Currently i use the following
$MailHeaders .= "MIME-version: 1.0\r\n";
$MailHeaders .= "Content-Type: text/".$_Vars['Type'].";
charset=us-ascii\r\n";
$MailHeaders .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n";
$MailHeaders .= "From: ".$_Vars['From']."\r\n";
$MailHeaders .= "Reply-To: ".$_Vars['From']."\r\n";
$MailHeaders .= "Return-path: ".$_Vars['From']."\r\n";
$MailHeaders .= "Errors-To: ".$_Vars['From']."\r\n\r\n";
Is this the correct type of headers i should use?
Thanks
Jarratt

Hi All,
I did some tests with the exception's under PHP5. I wanted to use the
__autoload()-function to use for class loading. The function should
throw an exception if it was not possible to load the class.
Code should be like that:
-----------------------------------------
try {
$x = new classname;
}
catch (Exception $exception) {
die('class not found');
}
-----------------------------------------
But I get an error, that the thrown exception is not cought...
Samplecode of __autoload():
-----------------------------------------
function __autoload($name)
{
throw new Exception();
}
-----------------------------------------
Is this an error of the PHP5-CVS-Version or is it impossible to catch
exceptions thrown by the __autoload()-function?

Hello,
Is there a PHP implementation of RSA or DSS or something else allowing to
create and verify digital signatures using 2 keys? By "PHP implementation" I
mean something that can be run without additional requirements on average PHP
installation, i.e. bcmath requirement maybe acceptable (as it is on most
installations) but openssl or external program is not.

What come all the way from Sri Lanka to Sweden just to bite you? Good
thing the authors of PHP didn't try to add support for Sri Lankan
holidays they would have given up on the language. We have 30+ and
there's no guarantee that if March 6 2004 is a holiday (which in fact it
is) march 06 2005 will be a holiday too. (Some holidays have a 28 day
cycle)

If they do Sri Lanka, then I want all of the Cajun holidays! My group

My goal was to provide an area that fosters stretching PHP. Big
projects, unusual projects, weird hacks... all kinds of advanced stuff.
I have thought that providing an "advanced" area might make people more
likely to post stuff like "Look at this..." and provide some intriguing
discussion and such. Not that it's impossible with php-general, but
reading 150 posts (or at least the subject) makes it easy for that type
of thing to get lost.

Assuming $filename contains the full directory (path) as it will need
to, you can use the following functions for a variety of results:
dirname()
pathinfo()
realpath()

Hi all,
Does PHP support C++ language?
If yes, how can it be converted?
The case is, I've use C++ to make a function (to get data from file and

function/variables and use it in PHP?
