If that is the location of the socket (mysql default is /tmp/mysql.sock but I
don't know with RH)you could try
$link = mysql_connect(":/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" , "username" , "password")
If that fails, check the permissions of the path to the socket for the apache
user and that mysqld is running.

I'm almost positive that the socket file is in the correct spot.
My installation was with Redhat 8.0, I also have mysqlcc installed, and it
uses /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock successfully.

Found the problem...
Somehow my version of mysql had become uninstalled, and I have no idea why
that is. Thanks for all the help :)

open_basedir restricts the directories that may be used. The message is
telling you that the file you are trying to use is outside the
directories allowed by open_basedir. Check the manual for more details.

A while back, I wrote functions for mean, median and mode. I've put
them up at http://www.it.ca/software/statsmmm.php . I don't much like
the mode function -- it seems awkward, but I couldn't figure out how to
write it any smaller.
Also included is a function that calculates the 95th percentile of
values in an array, roughly the same way the median() function works ...
but I don't recommend using this for bandwidth calculations for co-lo
customers because of the hassle of pulling all that data into an array.
95th percentile is more easily calculated in the SQL server than in php.

Can you set something like a "setTimeout" feature in fopen? That is, if you use fopen
to open a URL for "scraping", if that URL's server is down or doesn't respond in x
seconds, can you set a feature to show an error message or a "friendly" error message
indicating such?
Thanx
Phil

how about something like...
$start = time();
$timeout = 60; // number of seconds to try
while (!$file = fopen("...") && time() < $start + $timeout);
if ($file)
{ // do stuff with file
}

$sql = "SELECT VERSION()";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$ver = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
if($ver[0] >= 4)
{
echo "You have MySQL 4.0 or greater";
}

Not sure if that'll work or not, I haven't tested it. Hope it does though.

As a followup, I know someone mentioned Crimson Editor for my question.
It installed fine on WinXP as a general user, but it wanted to access
the registry and wouldn't install as a general user under Win2K. FYI...

I ask this list now because nobody could answer my question on the apache list.

experimental but I couldn't run it at all. We will make some tests -
without success.

Sorry I know this is off subject but I'm in a bind.
I have a problem with my Solaris box booting up.
Does I fairly new to all of this so does anybody know a good newsgroup for Solaris??
My problem is I added a file so a program would auto load. I added the file to
etc/rc2.d
Now this program loads perfect but continues to run and the rest of the O/S can't load.
How can I access that director to delete the file??
Thanks for any help....

Kris,
a couple of options for you to try are http://www.sun.com/bigadmin
http://www.solariscentral.com also have a search in google
also you can try this... resart the machine and press stop a after the
banner comes up and you get the "ok" prompt .. then type boot -s (for single
user mode) (you will need to know the root password) it will come up with a
message saying something like .. you are about to enter into maintance
mode.. press control-c to proceed in normal start up mode.
once you have entered in the root password you will be able to mode around
the directories via the command line .. then is a simple matter of tying cd
/etc/rc2.d ; rm <filename>

Hi,
I'm running the following code on two servers:
<?
$stamp = 1039525200;
echo date('D, d M Y',$stamp);
?>
On my local development box (Free BSD, PHP 4.1.1, on AUSTRALIAN time), the
above echo's "Wed, 11 Dec 2002" (I consider this to be the "correct date".
However on the live server (Red Hat, PHP 4.2.3, hosted in CANADA) the above
code echo's "Tue, 10 Dec 2002".
Now, what could be causing this problem? IMHO, no matter where you are in
the world (or more to the point, what timezone you are in), 1039525200
seconds after a certain date (in this case the unix epoch) should be another
certain date, yes?
What could be causing this difference? What should I talk to my host about,
or look for?
Thanks,
Justin French

John, I think "Daylight Saving Time" creates a difference of 1 hour and not
1 day :)
Anyway, I live in a place where we don't practice this so I could be
wrong...

Justin, it depends how you got your "timestamp" in the first place, I
think...
I could be wrong again here but aren't these different?
mktime()
gmmktime()

But, then again, it could be just because the other server's time is really
late... (caused by old motherboard batteries, etc.)

True... but I checked it anyway -- by adding just one and two hours to the
stamp... which made no difference... but when I added 86400 to the stamp, it
all worked.

Actually, they were created with strtotime(). Note, I don't believe there's
anything wrong with the stamp itself. The point is, the stamp is displaying
as two different dates using date() on two different servers, and I believe
this is not what date() is supposed to do.
Shouldn't the stamp for 12-09-2002 22:13:09 be the same on every server?
My rationale for this is that no matter where you are in the world, it is
always a certain number of seconds since 01-01-1970 00:00:00.
Perhaps strtotime() is NOT running off GMT, and perhaps date() is... there
has to be SOME confusion there -- either on my side, or in my choice of
functions, or SOMETHING :)

Put this at the top of your page
$tz = getenv('TZ');
if($tz != 'Australia/Brisbane') putenv("TZ=Australia/Brisbane");

Bingo!
...or, Bull's eye!, whatever :)
Anyway, I think this is "implied" in the manual.

Also, check "User Contributed Notes":

*GULP*... so, what we're saying is, that if I intend to pass data around on
multiple servers (in different timezones) using a unix timestamp for dates
(which i prefer to do), I should be using gmdate() and gmmktime() rather
than date() and strtotime()?
That will sure as hell be a few lines of code to dig through!!!!
I'll also need an accurate (and daylight savings compliant!) way of
determining the how far ahead of the GMT the server currently is, or for a
specific timezone for a specific project (eg this current one, which is
basing it's dates on Sydney, Australia.

Hello guys
I'm sorry if this message disturbs anyone, I know it is completely off topic.
I've been thinking about open a C# mailing list for I hadn't been able to find a good
one so far. All I want to know is if there is enough people out there interested in
joining such list.
I posted this message to this list for a couple of reason: it is the only programming
list I am in and since you're php developers I thought many of you may be interested.
Again please don't get mad at me for this I don't mean to upset or disturb anyone.
Sr. Perez:
Please visit aspfriends.com (I think that's it) or learnasp.com. There
are links there to many c# and other .net-related lists and boards.
Good luck.
