You shoud type system('cmd /c 'copy /b prnfile lpt4:', $result);
in order to work.
.I have a script that calls:
. system('copy /b prnfile lpt4:', $result);
.or:
. system('type prnfile > lpt4', $result);
.the result is '1' and it doesn't send it to lpt4.
.I have tried:
. system('type prnfile', $result);
.the result of that is '0' and it puts all the info in the file on the
.browser screen.
.I have tried a number of commands in there it seems that the commands
that
.only require 'read' permissions work but when they need to 'write' to
.something it fails.
.I think that this is a permissions issue but I can't figure out where to
set
.what permission
.Has anyone had any experiance making PHP talk directly to a LPT port? so
I
.an avoid this problem all togeather?
.I tried to do that when I wrote this script but was unsuccessful. this
same
.script works on a 2000 box but with 2003's new security it causes a
problem
.anyone have any ideas?

What sort of ideas?
Technology / methodology?
One of the Wrox press books on ASP (I think it is beginning Active Server
Pages 3.0) has a section on developing a classified ad system in ASP and
Access, but you don't really want to use that unholy pair to develop
anything, however it could give you some ideas. There are probably some
Open Source ones available which you could modify to suit your needs or
depending on your timeframe, you could build from the ground up, keeping it
simple and adding to it as you go along. Your best bet is to use small
classes if you choose this route. PHP and MySQL are your best bet.
Technically this is the wrong list for this type of question, but from a
business perpective SitePoint is a good source of info (they have a business
kit that you can download free chapters from which will help u on the biz
side). Knowing where to start is the big one, but first pick the
technologies and research other site that are already doing this and then
try to do it better. Hope this helps a little.
Rgds,
Michael

Hi everyone,
I'm kinda working on a limited budget and wondered if someone could offer
some tips, pointers, ideas toward my project. I'd like to write my own
Classified Ads content management system initially for free usage however I
would like to eventually use it as a commercial service. Anyone have any
thoughts on this?
Many thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,
I have this problem using this example:
<?
if ( isset( $_REQUEST['test']) ) {
$ttt = $_REQUEST['test'];
} else {
?>
<form action=test.php method=post>
<textarea name=test></textarea>
<input type=submit>
</form>
<?
}
?>
I've found the same bug reported on php.net (#21660), it's the same
test.php.
but my PHP version is 4.3.10.
server is microsoft windows 2000.
IIS is version 5.
I use php as CGI.
I've tried many versions of php (4.3.11dev, 4.3.7, and 4.3.3 on this server)
anytime I've got the same problem on this server.
I don't have this problem on another server with php version 4.3.3... so the
problem I think it's on IIS.
The textarea posted hang php when it contains a text longer than 377
bytes.
Do I have to post other data to you so you can understand better?
I think the problem deals with POST forms (i've made another test with a
list of checkbox and when i check all the checkboxes the php.exe hangs, if i
check only a few checkbox anything works fine)
I've been searching for 2 days... and it seems an old bug... why it's on my
4.3.10 version?
I hope you can help me.
thank you very much.

Thanks Jason ! It'll be great if you could also tell me whether I can
launch applications like MS WORD using COM or any other technology.
Basically I want the user sitting on a client machine to select a
file from a list and press the open button (which I will provide) and
the action linked to the open button should be that of opening the
file in the appropriate software . For eg. The user sitting on the
client side select a file image001.jpg and presses open, and it
automatically gets opened in Adobe photoshop. That kind of thing I am
talking about. The only thing to be taken in mind is that the client
does not have a PHP parser installed and is not running a webserver
either. The file list comes from the server only, which is actually
running the webserver and the PHP parser also. ! Please provide some
insight on this.

thanks for the quick reply, I will keep in mind from next time that
its to be send to the group (though I did send to the group also !).
Anyways, I am very new to PHP (just about 3 days old) so I need to
know a lot!
I am actually new to a scripting language only !
Thanks once again

Hi,
I have saved the content of an uploaded MS Word document into a database
table.
Now I would like to output the content without recreating the file on the
harddrive.
I believe I will have to use header("application/[what do i put here]").
Any ideas?
Kind Regards,
Dale
