I have an XML-issue.
I have a XML-file which I call master. Then when I make
small changes to this(a variant of the master) I don't want to store the
whole XML
in a different file, but just store the differences in
a database.
What would be the most efficient way to do this.
Would it be better to combine php with Apache Xerces(java servlets,
serverpages) for instance?

Check if the directory where PHP stores session info

Jochem,
Thank you for your help. Yes, "session.save_path" has to point to a
directory in Windows. This is how I entered in my configuration.
session.save_path = c:/WINDOWS/Temp
Thank you Jockem and to Rico Derks to point me to the right solution.
Best regards,
geo

Hi
With php, just wondering if anyone knows if I can auto increment a number
that has a part string? Is it possible to code this for an ID in MySQL
database?
ie
rur01
rur02
rur03

just
for ($i=1;$i<100;i++)

You can not do it straightforwardly. The required data type does not exist
in MySQL. An auto_increment field is of type INTEGER.

another gotcha with auto increment fields - you can`t combine contents of
two tables, each with their own auto incrementing fields which dis-allow
duplicates - oughta be a law against them.
do a query for the largest (max() function ) in an integer field, add one
and then INSERT new value. store the short varchar "rur" in another field.
Concat them when presenting to the user. Split them when the user posts a
request. See also str_pad function

Hey
I'm trying to validate these strings
wmli001234 wmli001234a
using this
if( eregi( "^" .
"wm" . //first 2 letters
"((li)*(si)*(wi)*)+" . //next 2 letters shal be ether
LI / SI / WI
"[0-9]{6,6}" . //next 6 numbers
"[a-z]{0,1}" . //if extra letter (only 1
letter)
"$", $wm_id))
return TRUE;
else return FALSE;
can anyone help me ?????

--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
eregi( "^wm(li|si|wi)[0-9]{6}[a-z]?$", $wm_id)
That should do it... tear it apart and understand it :)
Part of the problem was in the alternation in the li|si|wi
Part of the problem was that the + would accept sisi or wisilisiwi
With {min,max}... if they are the same number, you only need one
Also, ? is a substitute for {0,1} (means the same thing)
See it here: http://www.lcounty.com/is/website/test_center/test_eregi.php

I have IIS 5 with PHP 4.2.3 on a Windows 2000 server and I use NTFS to
control access to the directories. A user with read/execute (or even Full
Control in testing) can get to the directory fine, and .html files fine. But
.php files do not come up - access denied basically.
However, if a user is a member of the local Administrators group, they can
get in to the php files great and do everything needed with php/mysql and
all that.
Also, if I add a user to Full Control to the C:\PHP folder, I instead get an
HTTP 500 Internal Server error.
Any ideas? This has been bothering me quite a bit for a while.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Ok, I may have fixed my own problem. I am posting so that others can see how
I did so.
1. I changed from running as CGI Binary to ISAPI filter. I had tried this
before but forgot something that time around.
2. Allowed "EVERYONE" group to read/exec the C:\PHP folder (instead of just
IWSR user).
Hope this can help someone in the future.

The problem when it was running as a cgi is the php.ini may not have
been accessible by the user. Since it is in the winnt directory by
default permission would only exist admins and everyone(Read) unless you
tightened it down. Also check any dll that may be needed.

And i think that IIS uses the user IWAN for running CGIs instead of the
IUSR user...

I believe it is the reverse of that. IWAN for Isapi and IUSR for cgi.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Christopher, in your email you wrote iwsr. Did you mean iusr or iwan?

Hi,
I am attempting to timeout a socket_read() that is part of a handshaking
process using socket_set_timeout(). Problem is it doesn't seem to work at
all. If I switch off the handshaking write on the server side the read just
sits there and doesn't time out at all. I have tried
socket_set_timeout($socket,1) which I believe is 1 second and it never times
out...
Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated.

'this function _does_not_ work on sockets which

it only seems to work for connections using fsock and fopen. (and functions

Hi,
apparently this does not work with socket_read() but only with higher level socket
functions (fread etc). However I have found a function called
socket_set_nonblock(socketname) which apparently does something very similar, it
prevents the socket_read from waiting to receive data. I simply built my own timeout
loop into the code and voila!!

I have PhP 4.23 installed as a SAPI extension of Apache 1.3.24 on
the Windows 2000 server of our school; everything works very well, but
there is a problem I wasn't able to solve:
I have realized a Calendar system with a Paradox 9 data-base and a
few php web pages to access the calendar, add and modify events etc.etc.
(use ODBC)
Now I would like to have the system mail reminder e-mail or notify
new documents to a mailing-list at specified time (e.g. every day at 19:00,
every other day, every week ... two days before the event ...); I searched
the PhP manual on-line, but I didn't find anything good; maybe the new MCAL
functions group, but I have the calendar already working and wouldn't like
to make it all over again. What I need is just a "timer" function able to
mail a message (or do any other specified action) at a specified time.
Is that possible with PhP? Has someone tried something of the
like? Any ideas?
Thanks to whoever can help me.
