=======================================
This message is for the benefit of new
subscribers and those new to PHP. Please
feel free to add more points and send to the
list.
=======================================
1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP
try http://www.php.net/manual/en first. You
can download a copy and use it offline also.
Please also try
http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php
for answers to frequently answered questions
about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne).
2. Try http://www.google.com next. Searching
for "php YOUR QUERY" may fetch you relevant
information within the first 10 results.
3. There is a searchable archive of the
mailing list discussion at
http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the
common topics are discussed repeatedly, and
you may get answer to your query from the
earlier discussions.
For example: One of the repeatedly discussed
question in the list is "Best PHP editor".
Everyone has his/her favourite editor.
You can get all the opinions by going through
the list archives. If you want a chosen list
try this link :
http://phpeditors.linuxbackup.co.uk/
(contributed by Christophe Chisogne).
4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want
find out what extensions are available to
you?
Just put the following code into a file with
a .php extension and access it through your
webserver:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
If PHP is installed you will see a page with
a lot of information on it. If PHP is not
installed (or not working correctly) your
browser will try to download the file.
(contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W
Parker)
5. If you are stuck with a script and do not
understand what is wrong, instead of posting
the whole script, try doing some research
yourself. One useful trick is to print
the variable/sql query using print or echo
command and check whether you get what you
expected.
After diagnosing the problem, send the
details of your efforts (following steps 1,
2 & 3) and ask for help.
6. PHP is a server side scripting language.
Whatever processing PHP does takes place
BEFORE the output reaches the client.
Therefore, it is not possible to access
users' computer related information (OS,
screen size etc) using PHP. Nor can you
modify any the user side settings. You need
to go for JavaScript and ask the question in
a JavaScript list.
On the other hand, you can access the
information that is SENT by the user's
browser when a client requests a page from
your server. You can find details about
browser, OS etc as reported by
this request. - contributed by Wouter van
Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker.
7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line.
Avoid general subjects like "Help!!", "A
Question" etc. Especially avoid blank
subjects.
8. When you want to start a new topic, open a
new mail composer and enter the mailing list
address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of
replying to an existing thread and replacing
the subject and body with your message.
9. It's always a good idea to post back to
the list once you've solved your problem.
People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject
line of their email when posting solutions.
By posting your solution you're helping the
next person with the same question.
[contribued by Chris W Parker]
10. Ask smart questions
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[contributed by Jay Blanchard)
11. Do not send your email to the list with
attachments. If you don't have a place to
upload your code, try the many pastebin
websites (such as www.pastebin.com).

Hope you have a good time programming with

Hi Folks,
i got a big problem. I have a script which includes some other script i
tried include, require and require once. The problem is, if i do a
function call to a function in one of these included files, the script
aborts but without any error. The strange thing is, normally require
should give an error if it can't include any file. But the files are
accessible, error reporting is E_ALL. Some functions are callable but
others not and still no error. the only way how i came to this was
putting some die()s to see where
the script is aborting.
I hope anybody can help me because i have no idea what that could be.
tia.
Ben

You can see if the function exists in you main script...
if ( function_exists ( "functionName" ) ) {
echo ( "Function Exists." );
} else {
echo ( "Function Does Not Exists." );
}
Or you can echo out something in the function you're trying to call...
function whatever() {
echo ( "<!-- It worked -->" );
// More Code
}

I don't think this is possible with just PHP. I think you can target
the form action to open in the new page, but the original page is going
to stay the same without some JavaScript.

Hi there,
I am trying to stress my LAMP app with MS stress tool for web applications.
It simulates about 100 threads.
It looks like the LAMP app is only able to handel about 6 requests per second :-(
Is this normal für php with database queries?
Thanx for any info,
Merlin

Every application is different. You can't ask a question like this. Even if
people said Yes or No, how is that going to help you?

I have never used any kind of stress tool in my web app. Right now it
is in production under heavy load and some statistics are:
Authenticated users: 520 (this are the active sessions)
Dynamic requests per second: 25 Average
Max. Dynamic requests per second: 60 to 80 (these are peak values)
When I say dynamic requests I mean just PHP scripts. Static content
(js, css, images, etc) is not registered here but it is usually 3 to 4
times dynamic requests... so, do the math. ;-)
For this app I'm using Apache 1.3, PHP 4.3 and Oracle 8.1.7
The server is an old compaq with RedHat Linux 9, 2 GB RAM and 4
proccessor with 550MHz each.
I hope it can serve you as a reference.
Regards,
-William

I don't know if this is the root of your problem or not, but I tried running
PHP 4.3.5 on my Win2K box and it crashed a lot. I found out that if you
have PHP configured to run as a SAPI module there are stability issues with
that version (this bug has been reported). I think the CGI install should
be good though. I reverted back to version 4.3.4 and don't have any
problems yet with the SAPI module.

Hello,
I have created my own handler following the examples in the manual. It works
fine for XML files I created for myself. Now I tried one file given by
someone else, but I get as result always following error:
"junk after document element" in line 1, column 0.
I send you a part of the XML file (- content), maybe you can tell me why it
cant be interpreted. It looks like it doesn't like the <? tag?
Regards,
Kai

Do you have short tags enabled? If so, you might want to disable them.
Just
to test this theory, try to add the following at the top of your script and
see if
the problem doesn't go away:
ini_set( short_open_tag, '<phpscript' );
or something along those lines (anything other than <?). If that does work,
you
may want to recompile with "--disable-short-tags".

Hi, all --
A client of mine wishes to create a web site which does more than just
the typical CMS functions in that what you can see not only depends on
whether or not you have an account but also how old your account is?).
Of course, I'd prefer that it is written in PHP :-)
Any recommendations?

No David, I receive those messages also when I post. Just block them in
your mail reader. As for your CMS question, don't know anything off
hand that does it, but you can track timestamps in your database and
show the "special" page for members that joined at a certain date/time
or earlier.

I have a development box that uses our company's Exchange server as an smtp
host. All of a sudden, the php mail function has stopped working.
I can, however, send a message using mutt.

You _can_ run both PHP 5 and PHP 4 on the same server (and even at the

>From this line:
if(preg_match_all("^([00])?.*$",$called,$found))

substring($called,2,9);
}
I basically have a phone bill that sometimes has the phone number
preceeded by "00" and sometimes not.
When it has the "00" I want to trim it with the substring command.
Thanks,
Jeff

You need to enclose your regex in /regex/....
if ( preg_match_all ( "/^([00])?.*$/", $called, $found ) )

hi all,
i have a script that calls a popup like this:
<a href="/popup.php?name=Choices&product_id=15"
target="_blank"
onclick="openWindow(this.href,600,200,'yes'); return
false;">Choices</a>
the & is there to make sure the page validates. the problem is that
some browsers seem to be incorrectly translating this to:
[REQUEST_URI] => /popup.php?name=Choices&product_id=15
instead of:
[REQUEST_URI] => /popup.php?name=Choices&product_id=15
a couple of browsers that have choked on this:
[HTTP_USER_AGENT] => Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.0; Windows 95)
[HTTP_USER_AGENT] => Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us)
AppleWebKit/103u (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/100
i have safari 1.2.1 installed on one of my development machines, and
have had no trouble with the bad REQUEST_URIs. does anyone have some
insight into the problem?
i've posted a demonstration here:
http://hartshorne.ca/sandbox.php
you'll have to view the source of the popup to see if the & was
translated properly.
thanks,
beau
