Hello !
When I start Apache, it said : [Wed Feb 04 10:38:19 2004] [warn] (2)No such file or
directory: exec() may not be safe
Have you got any solution ?
I'm using windows 98 SE, apache 1.3.29 and PHP 4.3.3.
Best regards,
Fred

Dear Svensson, B.A.T.(HKG),
Thank you for your professional advice. I did actually isolate the problem to a block
of code, took it out, and wrote better code with the help of someone who knows more
than I. Someone a lot like you, probably.
Thanks,
Marlene

Yeah, I find that B.A.T's replies can be condescending... Might take a
note from Stas Bekman, who is running the mod_perl2 project. He is
always approachable and polite, (even for newbies...:) ).
Best regards,

Thanks for the info, Trevor. I will check out the links you provided below.
fyi, on the LDAP stuff, one thing I had problems with at first in ASP was
the account to use for access the Exchange server. Once I set
authentication to basic and supplied an account with the necessary
permissions on Exchange server for the script, it worked just fine. Seems
likely this would be an issue in PHP as well.
I will let the you know if/when I have successfully used the LDAP and Remote
scripting functions.
Thanks again, to all.

to make portable database code that you can use on just about any
database just by changing the connect string.
Since I work with MS Sql and Oracle, I find this to be pretty useful.
Don't have to change my way of thinking of or coding, just do the same
stuff for all the DBs I access.

No real problems or challenges in learning PHP itself, it's really
straightforward if you ask me. You always learn new little tricks as
you go along, but I found it much easier to learn than ASP.
The database stuff was a little interesting, but there are some good
examples online and once you find a method that works for what you want,
then you can just keep using the same technique. Just a matter of
copy/paste or making a standard database access scheme.
Like I have a "dbconnect.inc" file in a shared includes folder that all
my scripts hit. I set $database="DatabaseIdentifier" then I have a
"switch" statement that dynamically sets the connection string.
>From there, the "dbconnect.inc" processes a variable called $sqlquery
that contains the SELECT, INSERT or DELETE string. The default result
set for ADODB is "$arr", so in my main script I just do a "if
(count($arr) > 0)" then do the good stuff, " } else { " Do what you need
to do if no data is returned from query.
I handle updates and inserts slightly different than select statements,
but that's the essential gist.
Once I set up a connection string for each DB, I just write a script
assigning a $database= and an $sqlquery= and then process $arr after I
include the dbconnect.inc file.
If someone has a better way, I'm always happy to listen, but it seems to
work pretty good for me and provide me with the flexibility and
modularity that I need.
Like I said about LDAP, the extension choked on me, but I havn't taken
the time to diagnose the issue.
Good luck! Report back with your trials and tribulations, I'd be
curious to hear more about the LDAP and MSRS functionality with PHP.

Hi
If a have a <select name="omr[]">, what is the name of the "select"? I
tried with both "omr" and "omr[]", but no one works. It works fine if
the name is "omr" but then it is only one value posted.
Maybe its easier to understand if you see it yourself:
http://www.lokalguiden.se/index2.php?action=ledigalokaler
It's the second select I must name omr[] to get all the values posted
but then the javascript doesn't understand the name omr[], what to do?
Thx.
