I looked at Acrobat a few years back. I seem to remember that Distiller can
be set-up like a server on a machine. You specify "in" and "out" directories
and anything copied into the "in" folder is detected by Distiller and
automatically converted to PDF format and stored in the "out" directory.
This should make it quite easy to write a PHP upload routine, move the
uploaded file into the "in" directory, wait for it to be processed and
collect the PDF file from the "out" directory. I'm sure Adobe has improved
Distiller greatly since I last looked at it (it was converting WP files to
PDF format for us).

Hi Tom,
I was wondering what sort of solution you (and other list members) use for
the Word to PDF conversion? I've been looking at adding this as an extra
feature for our clients (clubs) to upload their monthly newsletters for
members to download/read. There's no way I'm going to allow them to post
Word documents (problems with fonts, and more importantly if anyone spreads
a Doc with a macro virus in it, I'll be the one who personally gets
blamed), and unfortunately getting people to save as a different format
from Word isn't much of an option either (they use graphics for headlines,
and in some cases it's too hard to explain to them how to save as a
different file format).
Obviously Acrobat Distiller seems to be the way to go, although all the
pages on the Adobe site mention using some form of GUI-based conversion
(usually for dragging and dropping files, or using it from within Word),
plus then I could run into expensive issues with licensing (not really
something I'd look forward to since this wouldn't create a single cent in
revenue for us).
Any suggestions or examples of how people in here are doing such
conversions would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks,
Angus.
AFAIK there isn't.

Oh no... I really like the look of Jabber but I only know PHP, which I'm
still learning. I don't want to learn Perl just to access the Jabber server.
Any chance anyone can develop a PHP module for Jabber?
Thanks
James

What does Jabber do? Somebody who doesn't know Jabber might know some
way to get the same functions with other solutions.

Jabber is an XML based server (check out www.jabber.org). Currently being
used as an Instant Message Server that is totally open source and able to
communicate with the ICQ, AIM, Yahoo, Jabber (obviously) and MSN chat
networks. I'm planning on setting up my own Jabber server. However, the
really interesting part is that you can use Jabber to send any XML document.
I have plans to use it to publish data from my MySQL database, etc.
A user sends a request from their Jabber client to my Jabber server, which
triggers my PHP script (if a PHP module existed!). The PHP script gathers
the required information from the MySQL database and converts it into Jabber
XML format (the Perl module helps do this) and passes it back to the Jabber
server that sends the data back to the requesting client. However, to do
this you need a module to access the Jabber server. One exists for Perl,
which makes communicating with the Jabber server very easy. I was hoping one
was available for PHP as well...
Thanks
James

A jabber module for PHP would be possible... but I don't think there's
enough demand for it (I might be interested in putting it together but
I'm completely swamped right now). You could use PHP's socket functions
without much loss, I would think.

Hi,
It looks like I've done everything by the book, from php.ini file to
setting up virtual dir with execute privs.
But I continue to get this:
403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden
This error can be caused if you try to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other
executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be
executed.
EXECUTE clearly is set.
Hints?
Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone could give me a detailed procedure for setting up
PHP4 as a module in Apache 1.3.14.
The documentation only covers setting up PHP4 as a cgi executable. Maybe it
is simply not desirable to set it up as a module? I was under the impression
that it would improve performance.

readme.first, in the php distribution covers the apache module
installation. It is in the root of your php tree, along with php.exe.
Good luck,
Gonzalo.

hello everyone
I'm configuring a webserver with IIS 5.0 and PHP 4.0 and when I did test with a local
disk I don't have problems but when I try to execute remote scripts this send me a
error the error is "CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP
headers. The headers it did return are:" and I don't found nothing in manuals
could someone help me?

This is the error that the PHP CGI module returns under IIS when it
can't find the page you requested. Make sure the page you're trying to
access actually exists at the location you're requesting it from.
Of course, it could be that PHP doesn't handle remote scripts
properly...

Hi there
I have configured Apache and Php successfully. But i want to use YAZ support from PHP.
I have
changed the extension_dir = and uncomment the extension = php_yaz.dll in the php.ini
file.
And put the .ini file in the windows dir.
But I am getting the following Error message
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: yaz_connect() in f:\myphp\try.php
on line 175
Its may be cause of failing to load the php_yaz.dll or any other possibility.
Could you pls help me out to fix this error msg.
Thank you.
