I've searched through the manuals and newsgroups but haven't found an
answer. maybe someone on this list can tell me whether PHP will
automatically de-allocate filehandles and database connections upon script
termination? i.e. do I always need to call fclose() and mysql_close()
before the script ends when I've called fsockopen() and mysql_connect()?
thx - e
is there an equivalent to Perl's END block? i.e some way to automatically
run certain code when a page is about to end?
1k thx - e
Hi Erick,
It's all in the manual...

Mr. Robert Harvesy,
5 – 8 Milton Obote,
Avenue BLED
Kinshasha,
Congo – Zaire,
Sir,
I got your contact from the Internet and I know that
this letter will come to you as a big surprise but
don’t ignore it. The profit will not only be for you
but for generations, this matter is very important
and needs utmost trust and confidence.
I am Mr. Robert Harvesy, a business consultant
and a close confidant of former most powerful
first family in Zaire, now Democratic Republic of
Congo.
The former first lady told me that they have lost
their oil wells and their gold mines have been shut
down and confiscated by the new government and
they don’t want to loose their cash again.
The family wishes to move out of the country the sum
of US$168 million [ one hundred and sixty eight
million United states Dollars] she wants to nvestthe
aforementioned sum in viable businesses
overseas.
My client does not wish to place this fund with
established financial institutions in the family's
name for security reasons. It is her desire that
thedeal be handled as quietly as possible without
possibility of any leakage to the public or
government. She has therefore instructed and
empowered me to look for a reliable foreigner who
can arrange and receive this money in his account
overseas and assist to invest the fund properly for
the
family.
If you know that you are capable and have the
facilities to handle this large amount or knows a
trusted friend or organizations who can handle this
project in strict confidence, my client is willing
to give you and such entity 25% of the total sum
received on behalf of the family for overseas
investments.
To act as a fund manager for my client and
her family in overseas I shall release the sum
of US$168 million [one hundred and sixty eight
million] to you if you meet my requirements.
The money is available in cash in a safe
trunk deposited with a security company, and upon a
favorable response from you, I shall let you
know how you shall receive it.
Your commission shall be 25% of the total
sum, and an annual 10% of theafter tax returns
on investment for the first five years.
Thereafter, the terms shall bevaried.
Sir, if you are capable and reliable, reach
me by email address soonest.
Best regards,
Robert Harvesy

your code works for me. it would be helpful to know how your code doesn't
work. does it pop the window at all?
couple of suggestions: use "onClick" instead of "onclick" - if I recall
correctly case matters in Javascript event names depending on your browser.
also, you don't need to use the "javascript:" specifier within event
handlers. additionally you might want to quote the handler code.

Hi all,
Apologies if this has been asked before, I'm new here. I've got a PHP
script that's returning a formatted string of variables to a Flash movie.
The string getting returned looks like so (currently it's just the 1 variable):
&bAcquired=Y
Flash's debugger seems to think that there is a tab character after the
'Y', so in the debugger, the variable bAcquired looks like so:
Y\t
I've done everything I can think of on the PHP side to make sure that's not
happening there. Perhaps it's some sort of buffer-padding that the server
does before sending text back to Flash? I'm looking into more things now,
but wanted to ask here and see if anyone else has had this happen? The
usual flush(), chop() or trim() functions don't seem to be helping. Any
other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Nolan
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Change your output string to look like
&bAcquired=Y&
and you should be ok.
You may find as you get further into this that you need a delay loop to
make sure that flash has read all of your data, since it happens
asychronously (at least in Flash 4 it did) so you'll want a sentinel
value at the end:
&bAcquired=Y&ok=1&
in the flash movie, set ok=0 and wait/loop until you see ok=1 and you'll
know the data reading is complete. (This may have been fixed in Flash
5, but I haven't tested it).

Hi,
I would like to run a variable of unlimited length through a filter that
would limit its length to 55 lines (ie limiting it's length to less than 1
printed page). Does anyone know of an easy way to do this?
thanks.

Dan Barber

Hiya Dan,
If you're expecting new lines, you could do this:
$length = explode("\n", $message);
if (sizeof($length) > 55) {
// error
}
And also limit the number of characters, using strlen()

Hi,
How to get return value from a recursive function .. here is the test code
which I was trying
<?
function abc_recurse()
{
static $i = 1;
echo $i;
$i++;
if ($i == 4) return ("xyz");
abc_recurse();
}
$returnvalue = abc_recurse();
echo $returnvalue;
?>
Its printing "123" where as I was expecting "123xyz"
what is happening to $returnvalue
TIA
Jaski
maybe it is just me and my preferred syntax/style...
if ($i < 4) {
abc_recurse();
}
return 'xyz'; # NOTICE REMOVED ()'s
Did not look to closely at your shortcut symantics to verify legitimacy
Also, unless I am mistaken, people generally advise against having a function do
output. A more appropriate syntax might be
<?
function abc_recurse($r) {
global $r;
static $i = 1;
$r.=$i;
$i++;
if ($i < 4) {
abc_recurse($r);
}
return $r.'xyz';
}
$returnvalue = abc_recurse(0);
echo $returnvalue;
?>
messy but a quick example.

Hi,
your call to abc_recurse returns the return value of the FIRST call. You
forgot to pass the result back to the calling funtions (below corrected
code).
<?php
function abc_recurse($imax) {
static $i=1;
if ($i == $imax) {
return "xyz";
} else {
$i++;
return abc_recurse($imax);
}
}
echo "\n\nFinal Return:" . abc_recurse(4);
?>

I tried to detect the Web-Servers operating system. Under Windows it's easy
to read the environment variable "OS" (or one of the relatet Server
Varaibles). Under Linux I found the following very strange behaviour:
system("echo \$OSTYPE") correctly returns "linux-gnu" whereas
getenv("OSTYPE") returns nothing
Any idea why the simple getenv-solution does not work. Any simpler solution
than calling the shell "echo"?
Regards
