I'm so new to this, in fact, that I may not be able to
even frame my question correctly. Please bear with me.
Suppose that I had a list in a data base of, say, countries
and that I built an array as
$states = array (
array("abbr"=>"MA", "name"=>"Massachusetts"),
array("abbr"=>"NY", "name"=>"New York"),
array("abbr"=>"CA", "name"=>"California"),
[. . .]
)
is there a way to dump this array in a form which would allow
it to be written to an 'include' file. I tried both var_dump
and print_r but neither method seems to have worked correctly.
The actual array which I have in mind is much more complicated
structurally than the states array shown above, but it is
unlikely to change more than once a day so it seems wastefull
to probe the database each time a copy is needed.

You know, what you can do (strongly not recommended, but still) is to insert
that whole thing into a database and then pull this string out and pass it
through eval().
ie: eval($record);
another way would be to take all that, addslashes($it) and then write into a
file with stripslashes($it).
But, you are going to need that statement to be a string, not code.
Otherwise you can "read yourself", fread() your own file to take your code
as a string.
After all, those are kinda silly methods. I am sure you can find a better
solution for your needs. Storing codes is a very powerful but not always
necessary procedure.

Still, read this
php.net/date
it has a variety of functions, dates with zeros and without...
Another thing you can do is using the mySQL manual. Did you know that mySQL
has a WHOLE BUNCH of date functions?

Subject: Re: [PHP] looong date formatting for MySQL
Thanks for the reply, however, that function call
doesn't zero-substitute (i.e., "07" for "7", "03" for
"3", etc.); that's why I've added this:
if ($month < 10) {
$month = "0";
$month .= $today['mon'];
}
By default, MySQL only accepts dates as YYYY-MM-DD;
PHP's getdate(Y-m-d) prints out YYYY-M-DD or
YYYY-MM-DD IF AND ONLY IF the month is two-digit.

PHP docs are weak on debugger_on() because the debugger isn't a feature
in PHP 4 :)
It was not included in the transition from PHP 3 to 4. You'll have to
use a 3rd-party debugger for PHP code. Search the archives for this
list, it has been discussed in the past.

Subject: [PHP] debugger_on() undefined?
Greetings.
I am running php 4.0.6, which I built as an apache module on Linux
2.2.14.
I am trying to get debug information, using the 'debugger_on()'
function.
My compilation line (from phpinfo()) is:
'./configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/php' '--with-config-file-path=/etc'
'--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--enable-track-vars'
'--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-debugger'
'--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql'
'--with-interbase=/opt/interbase'
However, when I execute a php script that includes the 'debugger_on()'
function, I get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: debugger_on()
This would seem that although I said '--enable-debugger' in the
configuration, my debugger is either: a) not working in php 4.0.6 or b)
not compiled into my code.
I appreciate any hints, suggestions, etc. The docs on php.net are
rather
weak on using the debugger_on() function.
Thanks
Jeff

The last page browser visited and clicked on 'you' would be available in
$HTTP_REFERER.
But, as the whole history, you would need some javascript to do that. It
should also be impossible to do due security reasons.

Dear PHP gurus:
I've been following here the ever-growing-never-to-be-stopped discussions
related to the largest sites using PHP. Apparently, most of the PHP
developers are trying to convince their bosses to use Open Source language
PHP instead of other 'silly' commercial solutions those 'brains' have in
mind.
It is just happened to me to be asked the same thing on a meeting with one
of our clients. Therefore I have composed a dirty list of sites you all were
posting during the time. I've done no research on this at all. My work
consisted only in organizing your comments into one single resource.
The forwarded email below is what I came up with.
Please, who cares, update this list and perhaps even make it available to
public online. Could be a good idea to have such resource running somewhere.
I will definitely create a section for it on PHPBeginner.com and another
portal I am planning to open soon. All of you are welcome to contribute
and/or to reproduce it on your own sites.
Thanks all,
hope it's helpful.

Maxim Maletsky

Subject: Large sites using PHP
Terrie,
On the meeting we had last Thursday you asked me about the large sites that
use PHP. I have composed a small list of such sites.
Here it goes:
www.sourceforge.net (30 millions pv/month)
www.audiogalaxy.com (Napster follow-up,
dozens of millions per/month)
http://livebid.amazon.com (a part of Amazon.com,
bet has a good traffic)
http://mp3.lycos.com (One of the largest MP3 search
engines in the world by Lycos.
Their traffic but must be
measured in several dozens of
millions pv/mon)
http://xoom.com (a huge online multi-service site.
the #1 competitor to GeoCities)
www.capitalone.com (well known credit card company)
www.ecrush.com (14 million hits a month on avg)
www.bangable.com (4 million page views a month.
All PHP/mySQL)
www.amdmb.com (uses MySQL and PHP for
everything. 5 million pages/mon)
www.insight.com (is a publicly traded
fortune 1000 company.
The site is 90% PHP)
www.ig.com.br (the 3rd largest Brazilian portal)
www.goeureka.com.au/super.php (AltaVista in Australia)
www.kinderstart.com (Major children's portal.
PHP and mySQL and some Perl.)
www.marketplayer.com (provides the real-time stock
market simulations for sites like
etrade.com and smartmoney.com
that have these games)
www.dc.com (Deloitte Consulting)
www.dialpad.com (user registration and member
backend is PHP driven)
www.thewb.com (uses PHP for the interactive
areas such as message boards,
polls, etc.)
also:
www.nbci.com
www.sprint.ca
www.ElectronicArts.com
www.f2s.com
www.indy500.com
www.planetsourceocde.com
www.easydns.com
www.admworld.com
www.communityconnect.com
www.viant.com
www.chek.com
Some say that also HP, IBM, and even Mr. Microsoft run "some" Apache/PHP
servers (looking it up on Netcraft.com--use their OS vendors search)

Dear PHP fans,
Knowing large sites that use php is one thing (it shows the language can
support
heavy loads). But what I would really like to know is the time difference to
design,
code and implement web application in PHP versus java solution, or
ColdFusion,
or another language.
I switch to PHP because I love the language but mainly because I could
develop
application about 30% faster than ASP. (the language I used before)
The staff I hire can learn PHP and be very productive within a few days,
soory but I
can't say the same for other language...

I come from asp world, too, but I wouldn't say php is quicker to develop.
Sometimes it can take longer.
But it's really worth it.

Hi,
for a well-known PHP advocacy site we are searching
for motivation studies of (big) companies who decided
to use PHP.
A "PHP motivation study" is not like a normal case study
where you tell the reader about the application foobar.com.
Instead, you tell 'em about why, when and how you decided
to use PHP for foobar.com, i.e. "because PHP is so easy to
learn" or sth. like that (also interesting if you had the
choice between PHP and [Perl|Java|Python|foo] and why you
finally chose PHP).
If you're interested in that, please contact me for
further details.
TIA, Bj�rn Schotte.

an array, then print the total. However, both methods
I've tried return "1"; the man pages explain that the
count() function will return 1 if the var is set but
not an array. But if you look at the 2nd method esp.,
I've set an if-else !is_set() alert which doesn't
appear... Either way, it's a 1. Help!
Method 1:
<?
$count =
array_unique(mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result));
$total = count($count);
print($total);
?>
Method 2:
<?
$array = mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result);
$newarray = array_values($array);
if (!is_array($newarray)) {
print("Not an array");
} else {
$count = array_unique($newarray);
foreach($count as $key => $value) {
$count[$key] = $value++;
}
print($value);
}
?>

Has anyone ever come across a cgi 2 php program at all, similar to the
asp2php program ?
or has anyone got a quick and easy tutorial for me to read through on what
needs converting to what , language 2 language .
Steven
cgi is not actually a programming langauage, but is a way of accessing
programs through a webserver. php can be run as a 'cgi' if you like.
i think what you mean is, has anyone seen a 'perl' to 'php' converter. perl
is one of the most common languages used through cgi, and many of the
scripts you see on the web are written in perl (look at the first line of
the script).
i personally havent any such converter.

to be a low-traffic list, I thought I'd also send it to this list, thanks a

Hi everybody !
I've got a quite confusing problem :
Yesterday, I upgraded my postgresql server from 7.0.3 to 7.1. I did some
pg_dumps and created the DBS on the new server. Everything went fine.
But now, I've got some problems : When accessed through php, *sometimes*
characters with accents don't come out right. I did some testing �and the
results are here :
-psql doesn't have this problem, so I think it is not a postgresql related
thing.
-When the database is created with a UNICODE encoding, accentuated characters
appears as (xx). With a SQL_ANSII encoding, accentuated characters come out
as other letters.
phpPgAdmin also has this problem, as well as all the websites I have written.
Has anybody else had this problem, or does someone sees where I could watch
further, I'm quite stuck ?
Thanks a lot for your replies.

psql, as well as pgaccess give me the encoded caracter instead of the
acentuated vocal, but I don't mind, cuase psql is only for personal use. PHP
gives me the right caracter.

Which locale are you using (I think this has nothing to do with the problem,
but who knows....).

I just checked a database which is been loaded with phpPgAdmin 2.3 and I got
the acents OK.

I really don't know where your problem can be. Try to set the environment
variables correcty to your local locale. It could help.
