There are many, many benchmarks done comparing PEAR::DB to PEAR::MDB to
AdoDB, PEAR::DB is much slower than the native API, AdoDB is the fastest but
least functional - I suggest you try PEAR::MDB2
http://pear.php.net/package/mdb2
once you get into it, you'll love it

Remember, PEAR::DB also uses the standard functions, so I can't
understand, why it should be much slower.
Rainer
You have to remeber that PEAR::DB is an object oriented abstraction over
the standard functions, and within this abstraction, there is also built
som error handling funtions, etc. in.

I don't understand your logic.
Imho, you can only compare:
- A without caching VS B without caching
- A with caching VS B with caching

I understand there might be a significant difference in performance, and
i understand nobody likes that.
But imho the real questions are these:
- What are the advantages of a Database Abstraction API?
- What are the disadvantages of a Database Abstraction API?
- Can we live with the lesser performance if we know we'll safe a lot of time
when we switch to another DBMS product?
- How likely is it that we are going to switch to another DBMS?

Hi,
Sorry if my reply looks like an advertisement, but TinyButStrong is a mature
PHP Template Engine simple and which offers lot of features. It's
only 1 file (= easy to install), 1 class with 8 methods and 2 properties.
TinyButStrong's tags can be 100% designed into the template using WYSIWYG
editors. That's the only Template Engine doing that that I know.
Download, manual, examples, forum :

Hi,
I am not sure if this is a PHP or Apache problem, but I am hoping someone
can tellme what is wrong.
When I go to www.domain.com on my server it shows the page as text instead
of parsing the php code.
If I go to www.domain.com/index.php (same page) it runs as it should.
if I go to www.domain.com/subdir it sya s page not found even though there
is a index.php file in that directory. I am at a loss as to what is wrong.
index.php is listed inthe directoryindex for apache so I dont understand
why it is doing all this.
If anyone can help me it would be appreciated.
Thanks

Interesting. Do you use virtual hosts? How many DirectoryIndex
directives in your configuration file? What are their contexts? Got any
error in your log file?

Well,
I managed to part fix the problem, now I have a problem where there is a
page that all it does is redirect to another page, it wont redirect unless
I hit the refresh button.
When I go to index.php it redirects to login.php, this is an old page that
I just added a header("Location: blah); to so it would go to the new page.
now it seems to jsut show a blank page instead of doing the second
redirect, if I hit refresh on the blank page it will redirect correctly.
I wondered if there was some restriction somewhere on only allowing 1
redirect where this page needs to be able to do more than one? is htis
something that would be in the httpd.conf or php.ini file?
Thanks!

File_exists results (and the results from other file-related functions) are
cached (according to the php doc) during the run of a script. For instance,
if file_exists returns True for a file once, it won't actually test the file
again if file_exists is run again against the file.
What I need to know is whether this caching works over a session (not just
during a single script run).
Thanks.

Hi,
does anyone know a way of how to get the name of the class within a static
function? I can't use __CLASS__ as my PHP version is 4.2.3 and I can't
upgrade.
My code (simplified):
class Base {
function Factory() {
$classname = ???;
return new $classname;
}
}
class Event extends Base {
}
// This should make $event an object of class Event
$event = Event::Factory();
Of course I could pass the classname as a parameter to the factory method
like:
$event = Event::Factory('Event');
But I would like to have a more generic solution. Any hints would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The only Solution I can come up with:
class Event extends Base {
function Factory() {
return parent::Factory('Event');
}
}

That looks like a bug in the mail() function because qmail comes with
sendmail compatible wrapper.
Anyway, you may want to try this class for composing and sending
messages including HTML formatted. It comes with a sub-class specialized
in qmail but I suspected that you do not need to use it as the base
class that uses mail() already comes with workarounds to use the mail()
function without the problems you are facing:
http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage
.....Why do you always say that this is a bug? I've sent many a HTML
e-mail using PHP's mail() function just fine with multiple MTAs. It just
requires careful setting up of the message.

Hi there,
I am running the newest php 4.x branch on a suse 9.0 apache 1.3x system
Hardware: 1G ram
It apears to me that the system anyhow has a memory leak. While running "top" on
linux it shows the free memory declining steadily. After about 48h the system
starts to swap. Restarting apache gracefully brings it back to about 140 MB free
ram, thats all.
Is there a way to show all memory in use and therefore make it easy to identify
the problem? I realised that some scripts have missed the imagedestroy function,
but after I added this, the system still eats the memory.
Thank you for any hint on that.

While your tracking this down you can change your
'MaxRequestsPerChild' setting in apache.

php should release any memory allocated in the scripts, except for
a some 3rd party extension's or if you're using shared memory with
in your scripts.
You can ./configure --enable-debug with php and it will detect
memory leaks, php will issue an E_WARNING if a memory detection
occurs. if this is a production server, make sure that php is
loggin to syslog and display_errors = off.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
As noted in that document:
$var = 'a value';
$array['key'] = 'has this value';
echo "var is $var, and array {$array['key']}";
output:
var is a value, and array has this value
echo 'var is $var, and array {$array[\'key\']}';
output:
var is $var, and array {$array['key']}
The undefined index is because $_POST['Date_and_Time'] is not set,
you're probably using the form method GET so it will be defined in
$_GET instead, for more info on this see:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php
The headers couldn't be modified becase php sent the notice of
undefined index to the browser, stop that notice and the header()
redirect will work properly.

it is 'I' as in Identifier.

Hello,
I have the problem, that Modules located in the directory which ist set as
the local_value, do not work.
The normal Directory for Example is /usr/share/extension.
Now I set in the Virtualhost settings the Directory to
/usr/share/extension/user.
You can see in the php_info(); that the new Directory has been taken, but
the Modules located in this directory do not work.
What do I make wrong. When the Module is in the System-ExtensionDir
/usr/share/extension it works.
Can somebody help me??
Thx,

Hallo,
I know of a few ways of doing this but I am not sure that any is right.
I want to consult with you what is the best way of doing this:
Table 1:
+----+-----+
| *a* | *b* |
+----+-----+
| 2 | 1 |
+----+-----+
| 2 | 2 |
+----+-----+
Table 2:
+----+-----+
| *b* | *d* |
+----+-----+
| 1 | asd |
+----+-----+
| 2 | fgh |
+----+-----+
I would like to select all 'b' from Table_1 WHERE a = '2' and then to
select all 'd' from table_2 with 'b' from previous result.
Table 2 is the Table with UserNames (d) and Table 1 is the table with
'marked' UserID's (b).
What is the best way of doing this.
