--- Begin Message ---The MySQL manual will explain this in great detail. To sort by date: SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY date ASC; for that to work, all the values in date should be a timestamp (ex: 20020520000000) To sort by names: SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY name ASC; If you want reverse the order, replace the 'ASC' with 'DESC'.

Yes, look at the date/time functions in the (mysql) manual.

Yes, and a php list is obviously a good place to ask an sql question. In any case, you want to examine your favourite mysql manual for the 'order by' part, particularly the bit about using 'asc' and 'desc'. CYA, Dave--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---I have an application where I need to take some text that may contain inch and foot marks (aka ASCII quotes, ' and ") and change them to typesetters' quotes prior to exporting as an RTF. I poked around a little and didn't have much luck; I wonder if anyone has already implemented the required algorithm in PHP. If so, that would save me some time - since it's not a trivial undertaking, what with nested quotes, contractions, contracted numbers like "'70s", old-fashioned paragraphs without closing quotes, inch and foot measurements, etc. If not, I guess I'll do it and share the results. miguel--- End Message ---

Hi
I use this at the start of my pages, it adds the original path to the extra
one: (keeps the include files out of the web servers view :)

sablotron, but it give me parse and encoding problems. Is there any "good"

By "good" I mean portable and reliable solutions, this module is going to be
on a intranet and the xml files are going to be uploaded to be transformed
to HTML.

Im just double checking on the use of clearstatcache.
I have a function that checks whether a file exists and loads it like so
function foo($bar)
{
if (file_exists($bar))
{
include($bar);
}
}
According to clearstat cache, its use is for files that change often.
In my case the files are static,
so I wanted to be clear, as to whether I should/shouldn't be using
clearstatcache() in my sudo function??

Depends a bit on what sort of globals you are after. If you mean a global
variable set by the user in the global symbol table you would do:
pval **tmp;
if(zend_hash_find(&EG(symbol_table), "foo", 3, (void **)&tmp) == SUCCESS) {
RETURN_STRINGL(Z_STRVAL_PP(tmp), Z_STRLEN_PP(tmp));
} else {
RETURN_FALSE;
}
Would fetch $foo from the global symbol table, stick it in tmp and return
it from your function.

Hi all,
maybe this is a stupid Q, but lately I'm diving into OOP. Below you can see a piece of
example code from the manual.
my Q: what does the & sign do in functioncb_modify( &$item,$key) ??
I noticed this sign is used more, so it should be handy, but hwat does it do?
thx Wilbert
-----------------------------
class mod {
var $thearray;
function mod( $a ) {
$this->thearray = $a;
}
function cb_modify( &$item, $key ) {
$item = "pref_".$item;
}
function modify() {
array_walk( $this->thearray, array( $this, 'cb_modify' ) );
}
}
$m = new mod(array("one","two","three"));
$m->modify();
print_r($m);
which prints out:
mod Object
(
[thearray] => Array

Its a Reference Operator. You can use it to reference variables to one
another, like $a = &$b; meaning that anytime you change the value of $a it
would change the value of $b....
Used for functions works in the same way. Its a way of improving the scope
of a variable. Instead of passing a value to the function and working with
that value only in the function, its a reference to a global function and
will change the value outside the function.

Subject: [PHP] SQ: what does the & sign do
Hi all,
maybe this is a stupid Q, but lately I'm diving into OOP. Below you can see
a piece of example code from the manual.
my Q: what does the & sign do in functioncb_modify( &$item,$key) ??
I noticed this sign is used more, so it should be handy, but hwat does it
do?
thx Wilbert
-----------------------------
class mod {
var $thearray;
function mod( $a ) {
$this->thearray = $a;
}
function cb_modify( &$item, $key ) {
$item = "pref_".$item;
}
function modify() {
array_walk( $this->thearray, array( $this, 'cb_modify' ) );
}
}
$m = new mod(array("one","two","three"));
$m->modify();
print_r($m);
which prints out:
mod Object
(
[thearray] => Array
(
[0] => pref_one
[1] => pref_two
[2] => pref_three
)
)

--- Begin Message ---Hi, We have developed a client-server application where the server needs to send asynchronous data to the client. Now since we are using Apache/PHP/MySQL, the client needs to poll the server periodically for information. I was thinking if there was some way to get around this basic problem. I understand that this is how things are supposed to work, but it would be just great if i could PUSH data from the server to the client, using HTTP. Since HTTP is a request/response based protocol, Apache would not send any data to the client asynchronously. So what i was thinking was - If i tell the server to allow Keep-Alive connections, and increase the timeout value and max requests, I would effectively have a constant TCP connection. Now the only problem would be of sending asynchronous data to the client. Solution? Here goes - If there was some way in which i could get hold of the file descriptor(socket) that is being used by apache to write data to the client, then i could, from a PHP script also send any data to the client using the socket functions of PHP since i already have the socket with me. This would mean that the client doesnt have to poll the server for data any more... and if the connection does get closed, the client could reconnect to the server asking for another keep-alive connection. Now I know that this is probably the wrong place to put such a query - maybe the apache list would have been better. But since I'm using PHP out here, i thought i'd give it a try. Does the solution sound very outlandish? Are there any pitfalls? And finally, how do i get hold of the socket?

--- Begin Message ---Hi, Tx for your very prompt reply. Yeah, I'll post the solution as soon as I find it someplace. Let me outline the problem in more detail - Client (VC++) calls a PHP script on the server, specifies the connection type as Keep-Alive. The PHP script, somehow (still a big question) gets the socket on which the apache server has received the client request (so that it can send data to the client later) and stores it in a database. Now whenever another PHP script wants to send data asynchronously to the client, it gets the socket from the database, and just calls a write() on it. Since the connection is still open (Keep-Alive), the client receives the information, and doesnt have to poll the server periodically. The application of this is indeed destined for a messaging product, and could benefit a lot of other areas as well. The only thing that is needed is the socket from apache. Someone somewhere knows how to get this done, i'm sure :) Possibly a hack into the PHP module can get this done, i'm open to suggestions. Tx, Vinod.

Dear Mirek,
This is how we use the handler for our XML class.
Hope it helps!
class XML
{
function parseXML()
{
/****************************************************************
Parse string XML data.
****************************************************************/
$parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_object($parser, &$this);
xml_set_element_handler($parser, "start_element",
"stop_element");
}
function start_element($parser, $name, $attrs)
{
/***************************************************************
Handles opening tags
****************************************************************/
}
function stop_element($parser, $name)
{
/****************************************************************
Handles closing of tags!
****************************************************************/
}
}
Best regards

Try some kung fu? Never heard it put like that before. :P
I am kind of creating a query. The equation is going to look something like
this:
(({table1.field1} * {table2.field2}) + {table3.field3})
Then I'm going to get the values in those fields and parse the above as if they
were macros (which, in a sense, they are). That could yield something like:
((8 * 5) + 3)
and it is that equation that I'm going to need to eval. So I don't think I'll be able
to do this in a query.

Undefined index means that the index you requested from an array doesn't
exist.

That's line 14. So, "install" isn't set, but you're using it as if it
was.

You have different error reporting levels on the different servers.
One option to solve the problem is change error reporting. The more
preferable thing to do is this:
if ( empty($_POST['install']) ) {
$install = '';
} else {
$install = $_POST['install'];
}
