I know how to start the session, that isn't the problem. I want the
session to continue when the user returns. My question is really:
Should I save the session Id in a cookie? And if I should, the browser
seems to need refreshing (IE6).

fopen on system.dat and user.dat? For win9x at least, I've no idea where xp
and such store the registry. In fact, not having a 9x machine to hand, I
couldn't tell you how easy it is to interpret the two registry files. I
would imagine it's bloody dangerous and difficult though.
What are you trying to achieve? There may be another option if u tell us
what you're accessing it for :)

We'll I have been using Windows Scripting Host to do maintenance on the
computers in our comapany. Now I'm getting tired of dealing with
vbscript for windows and bash for unix/linux systems. I'd like to
standardize the scripting language I use for our company's mundane
tasks. I've looked at everything and PHP seems awsome. So that would
mean that I am talking about the side of PHP that you run from the
command line. One important task though that I use a lot in vbscript is
accessing the registry. I do it for a lot of things such as change
settings for applications and stuff. I definitly am not planning to
access the registry via their files. That would be sort of windows
suicidal.. especially with XP. Vbscript has the support built in. I
didn't expect the same from php however I know their is a lot of fancy
stuff out their. Maybe it would be possible through COM. I have
already tried out the php and COM combo and it seems to work alright.
Haven't done that before though and I just wanted to see if anyone has
come up with a simple way to do it. Any comments and ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

I'm a great apologist of PHP, specially when compared with VBScript and
ASP... but... for that effect i think you would be better served with
perl itself...
It works well in windows and porting the maintenance scripts from
unix/perl to windows/perl would be fairly easy... a great source for
that would be to take a peek in activestate site
(http://www.activestate.com/) or cygwin site (http://www.cygwin.com/)...
I think that both provide very good support for windows...
I'm not saying that PHP doesn't do the job also, but as you refered that
you have your unix scripts made in perl...
Cheers,
Luis Ferro
TelaDigital
P.S.- I wouldn't recomend the direct edit of the system files... there
are system API for doing that and i'm sure that anything that runs COM
(as php, perl and python among others) have suport for them...

For registry stuff, try activestate perl with the win32::adminmisc
module from Roth Consulting - it should do the job for you in a php way
(well, almost).

Here's something you might try. I haven't tried it with PHP, but I do use
it as a shortcut for a couple of VFP programs I have written when needing
to make registry entries.
Use PHP to write yourself a .reg file. Then run the .reg file with the exec
command.
If you have time to try this I would really like to know if it work through
PHP's exec.

Best bet is to use a com object to access the registry.. if you do a
search for "ASP REGISTRY" even though the search is for ASP objects,
they will be usable in PHP with COM enabled.
check out 15seconds.com also, a good resource, you will need to adapt
the syntax for the object in question to php..

I decided to use fgetcsv, because it puts the data it retrieves from the in
an array. But a problem occured (again). I used a while to show the Arrays
values but I couldn't find a way stop the while. I tried checking for an
empty array " " or "" but never stopped ... is there a nill value in PHP or
a way to determine where my value stop?
The code is like that:
while ($outputstring[$i] !=""){
echo $outputstring[$i]."<br>";
$i+=1;
}
P.S.Thank you all for your time and sorry for my so simple questions but I
just started with PHP, I have a book on my hands and Trying to figure things
out. Thanks again

So, one more begginers question. I want to ask about "flat file databases".
What exactly is it. It's just projects that store their data on simply
files, or it's a database system (like Mysql). Are there any rules on how to
store and retrieve data from files, so they will be called "flat file
databases"?
Does anyone know where I can find any reference on the Internet?
I'm trying to make small site in PHP (for practice) and use simple files, so
I'm wondering if I should first learn about flat file databases and use
them,
thanks in advance,
krizz

Definitions:
A /flat file/ is a plain text file.
A /data base/ could (informally) be a number a things such as:
a) a collection with related information (recorded facts) in any
kind of format (a telephone book is then in this sense a database,
and even meeting notes in your agenda could be regarded as a database.)
b) a database Manager System (DBMS), this is just a collection
of programs that helps one to create and maintain a database.
c) an instance in b).
On the other hand a "database system" is a information processing system including
both the database (in the meaning of iii) with its related software such as user
interfaces, maintenance tools, etc, etc. A DBS usually stores it data in a DBMS
evirionment of some kind, but not necessarily, for example a set of php scripts
that manipulates flat files can make up a database system, without having DBMS
support.
A popular database system which utilizes flat files are SRS. It's fairly easy to
update files in this system since it includes a DBMS, which uses a languages
called Icarus to index and maintain the flatfiles.
However, I would guess that most things you can do with php and flat files
would be better suited to be developed in a DBMS like MySQL or something,
since the MySQL will take care of all the DBMS tasks for you.

On my develop machine , who is the where IIS server is running everything
works perfect, all html and php pages works ok.
If I try to use another computer on the same network to browse my pages, I
receive only the html pages and the message CGI ERROR while trying to open a
php page.
What I need to do in IIS to permit others computers on my network to also
run scripts not only my local machine?
My php directory is a subdirectory of wwwroot something like this
D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\sample\php

along these lines, I like the isapi for production servers, always
choose "run in separate process" for client sites, or use the
cgi for clients.. since buggy code can kill the server...
As for dev, it is a tossup... iisreset.exe comes in handy when using
the isapi version though.. *weg*
