AFAIK, it will reread the .ini file every time only if you're running PHP
as a CGI, as opposed to an Apache module (or ISAPI or NSAPI module, but I
don't think either of those are industrial strength yet). SO, yes, the .ini
file will be reread each time PHP is called by IIS.

I used to run PHP 4.0.3 and at the beginning of some functions that used a
lot of global variables, I would add the following lines so I could access
all the global variables inside the functions.
foreach($GLOBALS as $GlobalVarName => $GlobalVarValue)
{
global $$GlobalVarName;
}
I upgraded to 4.1 and this code now causes PHP to die about 50-100 lines
after it is executed. Any ideas?

well thats just the way XML parsers work, according to the parser, what you
have there is not a single string element, you have three child elements
(the parent node being the <title>).. two string nodes broken up by an
entity node. In other circumstances, this behaviour can be very useful.

Ok, I can understand the predefined entity replacement. But why does it
break the string up into 3 parts? I think it should just return

Well, this *is* a good list, but the subjects tend to be of a more
"intermediate" nature .. You gotta know a little before you know what to
ask. I would reccomend staying subscribed and just skimming subject
headings for things topics that sound interesting to you.
It's surprisingly easy to get a running start with PHP using some of the
web tutorials out there.
a few:
http://www.phpbeginner.com/
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/
http://www.phpwizard.com/beginning.html
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/
those are just from a quick google search, so ypu can easily fins others.
another GREAT source is the PHP manual itself - especially the user
comments.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/
ahoy and enjoy

Start by visiting www.php.net and click on links. You'll find many websites
with tutorials.. Much better to learn something there before you start
asking questions easily found there.

just to throw myself head-first into it, and start writing
something in that language, using online manuals and

Jump right in, but be sure to read the introductory chapters of the
PHP manual, especially on security, and then dip back into them once
you're getting familiar with PHP.
It also depends on what you know about web servers, server-side
scripting, what other languages you know, and so on...

what's the value of $datec? integer 7 or 14?
if so then try to change it to this: "interval 7 days"

Hello all,
I would like to know if anyone could help me with the following issue:
I have 6 variables, two holds a day, others the month and the last ones the year. They
are entered through drop-down-menus where the user selects day, month and year for
each date.
I would like to know the difference in days between these two dates. Since the dates
are separated and each value day, month and year are stored on separated variables I
wonder who to proceed here. I need to know how many days of separate each dates.
Thank you in advance,

Well, actually
$days_diff=(mktime(0,0,0,$month2,$day2,$year2)-mktime(0,0,0,$month1,$day1,$year1))/86400;
but you probably got that... :-)
Bogdan

convert both in dates into a time stamp using mktime()
subtract the two figures you get back
then divide by 86400 (60sec/min * 60min/hr * 24hr/day)

I'm a PHP newbie and have a few questions.
1) The server I'm working on has PHP 4.0.5 installed using an RPM. So
there's no source code. How do I include extensions (say --enable java )
without getting the PHP source code and without "make"?
2) I think the server's Apache web server is also installed using an RPM.
But the PHP is installed as a dynamic module. As far as I know, to install
as a dynamic module, you'll have to use the ./configure command of Apache
and re "make" and then "make install" Apache. But the Apache source code is
not there. How is this possible?
Thank you.

I read that in the manual too, but I have never understoud how it
really works. I use require_once in function and the files I include
have many class and function definitions in it (I include them when I
really need them to make things faster). So when I try to imagine how
it works, I feel that it shouldn't.
Becuse if I put the files in place of the require_onces I would get a
code like this:
function foo() {
class foo2 {
function foo2() {
...
}
...
}
class foo3 { ... }
...
}
And it looks strange, but it works well, I use it frequently. Does
anybody know why is this code works actually?
Thanks,
Arpi
p.s. of course it's only a theoretical question. I don't have to
understand really, but it's good to know what I rely on.

If title can be guaranteed to be unique then just amend your code to
...
$product = array($id, $title, $price);
$shop[$title] = $product;
if not then you'll have to make the key unique, something like ...
$product = array($id, $title, $price);
$shop[$title . "..." . $counter++] = $product;
you can then use the normal array sorting functions on $shop

Hi List,
I'm having a problem sorting the following array:

I want the array 'shop' to be sorted by the 'title' in array
