Try looking at register_shutdown_function at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php

I am using this in my logon script:
function close()
{
  if (connection_aborted() > 0)
  {
    @session_destroy();
  }
}

register_shutdown_function("close");

I am afraid it does not work as I described, because if I visit another
site, go back and refresh, everything seems ok.

What qualifies as "complete"?  After each page is parsed and served to the
client?  After a certain amount of time when the requesting browser hasn't
made another request?

Hi all,


I'm working on a little code snippet that invites a person to mail the url
of the current page to a friend. I once read a javascript article that
explained how to store the pare url in a variable. I can't find the article.
How do you store the current URL in a variable using PHP? Does that system
variable point to the page or can it also point to a frame within a page?

Thanks,

Gert






$variable_name=$PATH_INFO

Depending on how you handle it next, you may want to stripslashes() or
URL_encode() it

That sounds the way to go. Yes the sites I have looked at so far put their
data into tables. Is there a PHP command that performs a replace all with ""
until first occurrence of <table> kind of thing?

I agree with the DOM statement too. I worked out the DOM access via
Javascript on IE quite quickly but I've had a very brief look at the PHP DOM
access libraries and they look like much harder work (especially as I'm new
to programming).

Thanks

James

My guess is that whatever the site, the dat will be in a table.
It is fairly trivial to strip off everything before the beginning of the
table
(replace everything up to and including <TABLE> with "")
Then replace (say) <tr> with </td> and </tr> with ""
Finally strip out the end of the file (</table> and onwards)

You will then just have the table data, all seperated by </td><td>, which
should
be easy to handle (presumably you want to make a distinction between EPIC
and
price - do this by using the datatype, and there'll probably be a pile of
formatting to sort out as well, but that should really be pretty trivial!)

Alternatively, you could spend a considerable amount of time trying to get a
generic XML parser to work and rebuild a DOM which would no doubt improve
your
XML skills immeasurably, but you would probably die trying!

At this point I would say RTFM, but I'm all too aware that the PHP funciton
description runs to about 900 pages, so that may not be too helpful. Seriously
though, if you haven't already, its well worth downloading the BigManual.html
from the php site as this is a complete command reference!
The functions that will be useful to do this are
strstr() (or stristr() for case insensitive) which will find the first occurance
of a string
strtr() which is technically called 'string translate' but allows you to
translate a set of characters from one thing to another - use with a wildcard
and you can translate %<table> to ""
substr() which returns only part of a string - find where the first occurence is
with strstr() and then use this as the parameter to chop the string.

You may also be interested in strip_tags() which (fairly obviously) strips all
HTML and PHP tags from a string (which could be the whole file if you felt like
it)

Hi,

For a school project I am making a database driven system. In de intranet 
page they have to enter their login name to the winNT/Novell system. I have 
seen something before which automatically could extract that info from the 
system so that the user doesn't have to enter it manually. Is it possible 
with PHP to do so?
for example. When I log in to the system my username is: 8299022
this is entered into a novell client. Can I with some PHP commands (or 
posibly with something else) get that username from the system?

thanks,

Remco Meeder

I am currently working on a NT machine with a
standalone MySql Database installed.
For development purposes I need a webserver for my
workstation, that will access the MySql database.

I would like to use my local browser to access the
database through the standalone webserver using PHP
scripting. What I am developing is not that
complicated, but I'm sure you can tell that I'm a
newbie so a simple program would be nice.

suggestions anyone?

I would recommend either IIS or PWS as they come with NT and are 
relatively simple to configure and support and have documented 
installation instructions for PHP. Apache, is a little more complex to 
configure, but is also a good tool.

Download PHP for Win32.  The package contains the necessary dll for you to be able to 
use the mySQL functions in PHP to access your mySQL database.  For PHP you can use 
either the included IIS as the web server (make sure you get the latest version) or 
you can simply download Apache for Win32 at http://httpd.apache.org/ and use that as 
the web server.  After that go to the PHP manual and read about installing PHP on 
Win32.

The sample implementation is correct and works here in a Linux/Apache
environment.
However, I cannot get the sample to work in a Windows 2000/IIS environment.

Please let us know what environment you are currently running in.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Basic Clarification on Sessions(PHP4)


Hi,

I want to know if the sample implementation below of session variables is
correct.
I am going through the PHP4 Manual, but any clarification would be great

INDEX.PHP
<?
session_start();
$example = 1;
session_register("example") ;
?>

SOME OTHER PAGE
<?
session_start();
if (!isset($example)) {
    Header("Location: Index.php") ;
} ?>

I tried using session_is_registered() instead of isset but I am getting
errors, probably because of incorrect syntax. All I want is to redirect the
user back to the main page if the session is not set. Can anyone please show
me the right way.

Thanks
-Mujahid
