Apparently the ISAPI module is quite stable. The problem is that not all
extensions
are thread-safe. That is why it works fine for some people and not for
others. Make sure
you do some testing yourself first.

Is anyone using 4.2.3 as an ISapi module?

All the documentation still says unstable but it hasnt changed in years.  Is
it now stable?

Beloveds Friends of the NG,
you excuse to me if I occupy the space for things that are not of pertinenza
of the NG.

I have had other occasions to forward technical questions and to receive it
answered correct and important for my job.

For one my distraction without wanting to make disturbance I have sended to a
friend of the NG a msg with some examples that I thought could be useful.

In good faith account of the size of data is not rendered me that I have
sended.

I have asked excuse the friend for the NG that moreover had sended a msg
little friendly.

I hope that all those who have had the occasion to receive mine msg have not
been too much disturb to you.

It is  not before the time that I write and I receive contacts with Ng but  it
is before the time that someone addresses to me in way thus exaggerated and
also for sure backs, from my point of view, also discourteous.

I ask you excuse for this interference and you I want thanks all.

ciao franco

Check out:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.directives.php (or a mirror)

It tells you which configuration directives can only be set in php.ini,
which work in apache's httpd.conf for a virtual host, which are
per-directory with .htaccess file, and which can be set on a per-script
basis with ini_set().

Hi All,

I am using a free Windows based SNPP client from  www.commonesystems.com. I
would like to build something similar with PHP. Is this possible? If so is
there any info out there on using PHP and SNPP?


Thanks,

Jerry

Hello,

How can I modify a date format from  $b="Jan 7 1999, 3:51 pm" into other format? like 

1999 01 07 3:51 for example? I have tried with strftime, but it change format only for 
current date.

Thanks, Adrian

look at the function called strtotime()

uk.php.net/strtotime

it will convert English language date into timestamp, from which you can
do date() again to reformat it

Hi,

You can use something like this:

$todaydatetime = date("Y m d G:i");

That will translate into:

2002 11 07 18:12

or if you want to us 12hour clock try this:

$todaydatetime = date("Y m d g:i");

That will translate into:

2002 11 07 6:12

(changed G (hour, 24-hour format without leading zeros; i.e. "0" to
"23") to g (hour, 12-hour format without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to
"12")

You can check out all the values for changing the format here:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Cheers

Jambo

It is ok, but is there some way i do $mydate=format_date($date,Y m d
:i")  - is there some function that could do it, where $date is some date,
not neccessarily today.

Hello

I too am getting an error launching apache 2.0.43 with the php 4.2.3 module (not the 
CGI). I have Win98SE

My command is this:
Apache.exe -w -f "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf" -d 
"C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\."

The error is this:
Syntax error on line 978 of C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load F:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll into server: One of the library files
needed to run this application cannot be found.

Line 978 and on reads:
LoadModule php4_module "f:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I have php4ts.dll in both the system and system32 directories (just in case). I tried 
backslashes instead which lets apache load but php won't work.

I tried copying everything to my c: drive and updating the LoadModule line to point to 
C instead of F. Same error.

I even tried the command like this:
Apache.exe -w -f "C:\Progra~1\Apache~1\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf" -d 
"C:\Progra~1\Apache~1\Apache2\."

Same error.

I tried the LoadModule line without quotes: Same error.

There are currently 2 php4apache.dll files on my pc:
C:\php\sapi\php4apache.dll and F:\php\sapi\php4apache.dll

There are no sapi directories under the apache directory.
apache only has mod_isapi files.

I read on Mr Jacob's site that I should have put php2apache2.dll instead.
Upon trying this, I received the following error:

APACHE.EXE: module "c:\php4build\snap\sapi\apache2filter\sapi_apache2.c" is not
compatible with this version of Apache (found 20020628, need 20020903).
Please contact the vendor for the correct version.

Under Editing your php.ini, Mr Jacob said:  "Search for doc_root = and 
change it to doc_root = H:\httpdocs where the path is the same as the 
one you picked for your HTML files back in step one."  My php.ini does not 
have "doc_root" anywhere in it.  I copied the php.ini-recommended.  The 
php.ini-dist file does contain doc_root.  I tried both files but the dll 
error still exits.

Any idea what I can try next?

Thanks

hi,

i had similar problems. it seems, that the win32 distribution doesn't 
support apache2, altough there is a sapi module.

it worked for me with the latest stable snap of php4 http://snaps.php.net

ciao.

by the way, it's right you need the php4apache2.dll not php4apache.dll

Query String is 255 bytes long, including the URL itself. Basically, if

I have to start building a a web site.  And it needs to be very stable.  It will be 
creating a lot of pdf's on the fly also.  The problem that I have had with php 
creating pdfs is that IIS sends a connection: close header.  This makes the pdfs very 
unreliable.  

I am guessing that the isapi version of php would resolve this issue.  Though the 
isapi version still has stability issues.

I hate to asp but am thinking that I may have to simply due to stability.

Does anyone have any thoughts.

I saw some of our code working on IIS and PDFs were just fine. This
depends though. but, there are always work arounds and IIS is not any
easier either.

I think so.

Think also about the stability in the long run - ASP needs more
maintainance than PHP, even on IIS.

Thanks for all the great feedback.  IIS is probably a requirement.  

The problem with PHP and PDFs is when php has to send the headers for a PDF.  IIS 
seems to get in the way.  Does anyone have a workaround for sending headers though PHP 
and IIS?

Charles

Think also about the stability in the long run - ASP needs more
maintainance than PHP, even on IIS.

Try searching the mail archives for PDF, PDFLIB and IIS and Headers ...
This should be a known issue, unless, it is already fixed or happens
only to you.

I'm filling out form PDFs on the fly with IIS and FDF without any
problems...  I don't know if that's what you mean by "creating PDF's" but if
this ( http://www.lcounty.com/lchd/record_search/ ) is what you're looking
for, (enter a name like smith then click on one of the application request
icons) then you should be fine.
