Can anybody confirm this hang scenario?
Windows XP-SP1, PHP 4.3.4 or 5.0.0b3,F-Secure Antivirus 5.41
When running the simpliest script from documentation in Windows COMMAND
prompt, window hangs. Ctrl+C doesn't help. Window has to be killed.
I also found this:
F-Secure Active, PHP run from local drive (C:\PHP) - Hangs
F-Secure Active, PHP run on network (F:\PHP) - Hangs
F-Secure Disabled, PHP run from local drive (C:\PHP) - Hangs
F-Secure Disabled, PHP run on network (F:\PHP) - OK
I have no problems running on Windows 2000, with F-Secure enabled.
This realy is a bad start with PHP for me.

It seems to me like you did all the testing you need to and that the problem
is F-Secure.
Why not give them a call and ask support what's going on since it's
prohibiting the execution of one of your executables?
Beyond that, I work with anti-virus software - there has to be a way to
exclude directories from their (apparent) on-access scanner. Try excluding
the c:\php folder (or wherever you installed PHP). On various platforms, AV
on-access scanning can cause various programs to have problems where you
need to exclude them from that scanning.
If F-Secure doesn't allow you to add an exclude list, then you might be SOL
- which would also indicate the quality of the product.

Hi...
Is there a way to set a for loop to exit when the FIRST of many expresions evaluate to
false?
the code: for ($i = 0, $j = 0; $i < 10, $j < 5; $i++, $j++) {} will execute 10 times,
but i was hoping it would exit when $j was set to 5... Is there some way of doing this?

Does this do what you want:
for ($i = 0, $j = 0; $j = 5, $i < 10, $j < 5; $i++, $j++)
or are you looking for something like this:
for ($i = 0, $j = 0; (!($j = 5) || $i < 10 || $j < 5); $i++, $j++)

thank you!
You learn something new everyday... Didn't think you could use expressions
like that in a for-loop...

In C/C++ you can so I just assumed it would also be possible in php .
Try on your own risk. :)

worked like a charm! =)
don't think it'll tell you much, but this is the acctual code i'm using now:
for ($j = 1; $j < 10 && $num_rows > 0; $num_rows -= MAXSHOWN, $j++) {}

The syntax is quite clear to me, but what about this break condition
with $j == 5 then?

For some reason, the first time I attempt to access a form variable or
global variable PHP does not seem to think it's defined. For each one
that shows an "undefined" error, I've had to put the following code at
the beginning of the script. Should I have to do this?
<?php
if (!isset($somevar)) {
$somevar = "";
}
?>
I have the register_globals set to true in the php.ini. and I restarted
my server.
Any ideas?
Thanks much,
Jim

As far as my knowledge go - which does not go that long at all - all I
did was installing php and (POST'ed) FORM variables worked just fine
with me.
How do you try to retrieve FORM variables? Do you do something like:
$MyPostedVar = $_POST['MyPostedVar'];

Thanks Hubo,
When I make a page with that code ... it always says 'New Session'. No
matter what I do the 'Session Variable Saved' never shows up.

That's becasue it always create a new session.
Try (in psedo code):
IF NOT SESSION CREATED THEN
CREATE NEW SESSION
ELSE
DONT BOTHER TO CREATE NEW SESSION
END_IF
