I used their book to learn the basics and found it really good. They
have a chapter on the basics of relational database design and using
MySQL, as well as chapters devoted to specific examples (building a
shopping cart or a web-based mail client &c.). I'd certainly recommend
it.
That book, php.net and phpbuilder.com have been able to answer just
about all of my questions so far between them.

You don't mention the load module directive. Are you trying to load the
module? If so, you should see a line like
LoadModule php4_module .....

you might need to put a ; after the function call.
<?
phpinfo();
?>
and make sure that the "/php/php.exe" is actually located in the ServerRoot
= "c:/apache"
the php folder has to be located in the location that the ServerRoot points
to.

Hi,
I'm using PHP 4.0.4 with IIS 4 on WinNT. When I try to load an extension
I get an error telling me that it cannot be found. The extensions
directory line of my PHP ini file is:
extension_dir = C:\WINNT\system32\
I've tried forward slashes, back slashes, absolute paths and relative
paths but nothing seems to make the error go away. The correct dll is
definitely in the directory but PHP jusy won't find it.
Can anyone help?
D.
It would work with c:\winnt\system32 (without back slash at the end).
Otherwise, you would try to download the free Dependency Walker
(http://www.dependencywalker.com/) to find all depedencies of your dll. Hope
it will help you ?
Regards,
Philippe

Anyone know how to redirect stderr so it doesn't appear on the screen?
I'm battling with imap_open writing an error to the screen when the
(valid) mailbox is empty.

Ahah... sorted.
Setting:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
in php.ini does the trick, though quite why imap decides to flag it up as a
"notice" (described as Warning in the message) just because the mailbox is
empty beats me! 8-)

Ross,
Apologies if I've confused the issue: "TLD" is "top level domain" otherwise known as
"country level domain", ie in your
case ".uk".
thus your ISP's SMTP server MIGHT be smtp.clara.co.uk (it won't PING for me, so please
clara-fy that). Thus

suitably edited, might work.

Hmm... that didn't work for me when I tried it. It was the 1st thing I
tried. I kept getting "Server error" on the PHP page when I ran it.
I'll certainly try it again.
It won't be clara I use anyway but I do know the server address from
Outlook etc. and it just didn't seem to work. Don't know what magic
your PC seems to do but consider yourself lucky. :)
Ross
PS You should be shot for that "clara-fy" pun!!! ;)

=yes I must admit I couldn't see any particular difference. If it helps I'll send the
whole .ini file to your
private address (but you'd still have to edit it). Have you tried tracking the error
back through the Apache
documentation? There's an article by Richard Heyes (who sometimes appears here) about
using his email classes to
email-enable PHP. I used a lot of his advice/setups to get started. I wonder if
there's something in there...

Thanks for the added data, Spunk. I guess I should have asked for a view of the
screen/echo conversation too...
I'm not strong on RegExps so took a look at the manual
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php),
which says:
-----
string ereg_replace (string pattern, string replacement, string string)
This function scans string for matches to pattern, then replaces the matched text with
replacement.
The modified string is returned. (Which may mean that the original string is returned
if there are no matches to
be replaced.)
-----
It seems to answer your question about "strings cf arrays". A string can be a
character or an array of
characters. An array can contain a list of strings - and we might thus call it a
"string array" but that does
not make it A "string".
So it seems to me [medium-high ignorance factor present] that you would definitely
need to loop the array
through the RegExp an element at a time; and that appears to be exactly what you're
doing, but once again,
without echo-ing so that you/we can see the data fore-and-aft, it's difficult to spot
a problem within the
crucial function call (lacking those RegExp skills as I do).
NB in talking about 'pass by reference' I was refering to the function you had
written, NOT the call to
ereg_replace()!
However [he continuous ponderously] again dipping into the manual
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php), we see:
-----
mixed str_replace (mixed search, mixed replace, mixed subject)
This function returns a string or an array with all occurences of search in subject
replaced with the given
replace value. If you don't need fancy replacing rules, you should always use this
function instead of
ereg_replace() or preg_replace().
In PHP 4.0.5 and later, every parameter to str_replace() can be an array.
If subject is an array, then the search and replace is performed with every entry of
subject, and the return
value is an array as well.
If search and replace are arrays, then str_replace() takes a value from each array and
uses them to do search
and replace on subject. If replace has fewer values than search, then an empty string
is used for the rest of
replacement values. If search is an array and replace is a string; then this
replacement string is used for
every value of search. The converse would not make sense, though.
-----
Note the comment about replace cf RegExp - a frequent refrain on this list is the
improved efficiency for simple
search/replace operations.
I feel sure that the idea of an array-search against an array-replace should come with
a Surgeon-General's
health warning to protect one's sanity, but this sort of challenge might appeal to you?
Unsought/pedantic advice: try putting a simple string (extracted from your data)
through the chosen
transformation/function first, then replace the string with a string array element,
then work up to whole arrays
at a time... It seems so simplistic, but everyone should have a short 'testbench.php'
script into which code
fragments can be dropped, so that tests can be made on 'new' constructs. Then to use
this in a process of
gradual 'construction' (ie "make it work (simply) before you make it better"), rather
than starting from
something complex and having to dismantle/simplify it back down, in order to
debug/check your logic and
assumptions.
Hope it's helping,
