I think I speak PHP better than english (silly, not ?). okay, are you using the same PHP version on both machines? anything in the php.ini's that differs? The same, not possible (Windows/Linux). For php.ini, quite the same (some directories are different). Under Windows (PHP 5.1.6 on 2k SP4 / 5.2.4 on XP SP2, the officials). Under Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3. are you possibly looking at an input/file character-set encoding related issue? (i.e. encoding is different between the two servers)? All PHP source is written in UTF-8. I take the HTML code and convert it to UTF-8 using iconv() / mbstring... can you post a short complete script to see if others can reproduce the error? See the following link for the bogus test (Must match : windows = 90, linux = 54): http://pastebin.com/m1c43cc10 The same results are given when : - comments are removed - with 'm' or 's' PCRE options - recursion is removed (multiple parses in while statement (matches for each pass : 55, 26, 5, 2)) This snippet is used in a part of code which goal is to convert HTML from Word 2003 to valid XHTML.

Thanks. Welcome to the list. No need to feel stupid, and you're welcome. We were all here at some point. Even tedd, who has been programming since Rocks apparently. :-) At least you read up on the language and took a stab at a solution before you came looking for help. That's a lot more than can be said for some of the requests that show up on this list. Just something to keep in mind based on your description of the project. (You said you were trying to avoid repeated database calls on each request.) PHP sessions are usually stored in the file system (unlike ASP sessions that are stored in memory). Therefore there will be some overhead with sessions as well. (The server has to read the cookie, find the corresponding file, compare the modified time of the file to make sure the session hasn't expired, read the file into memory, and unserialize the data into variables.) You may want to experiment from project to project while you're getting used to the language until find the right balance of how much you store in sessions versus how often you repeat trips to the database. I usually use the database to store session information so that it is available regardless of which server handles a request in a clustered environment. I've found that I don't mind a few well organized database calls per page for the information I need. I know some people on this list have forgone sessions altogether in favor of other

[PHP] htmlentities() and default_charset
Folks,
Why should htmlentities() use the default_charset for $charset with this
example, taken from ext/standard/tests/strings/htmlentities10.phpt?
?php
ini_set('mbstring.internal_encoding','pass');
ini_set('default_charset','cp1252');
var_dump(htmlentities(\x82\x86\x99\x9f, ENT_QUOTES, ''));
?
The test script expects the output to be:
string(28) sbquo;dagger;trade;Yuml;
According to the PHP Manual, the htmlentities() syntax is:
string htmlentities ( string $string [, int $quote_style [, string
$charset [, bool $double_encode ]]] )
For the parameter charset:
Like htmlspecialchars(), it takes an optional third argument charset which
defines character set used in conversion. Presently, the ISO-8859-1
character set is used as the default. It goes on to list the supported
values for charset and states: Note: Any other character sets are not
recognized and ISO-8859-1 will be used instead.
Therefore, when $charset = '' I would expect that
htmlentities(\x82\x86\x99\x9f, ENT_QUOTES, '') would use ISO-8859-1 since
the null string is not listed as a supported value. Also, it does not
mention the use of default_charset. Furthermore, when default_charset = '',
PHP states that ISO-8859-1 will be used as the default.
Since the $charset is optional, I would expect
htmlentities(\x82\x86\x99\x9f, ENT_QUOTES) would use the default_charset,
but not htmlentities(\x82\x86\x99\x9f, ENT_QUOTES, ''). However, test
scripts ext/standard/tests/strings/htmlentities10.phpt, htmlentities11.phpt,
and htmlentities13.phpt all expect the default_charset to be used when
charset=''.
Thanks.
Jim

[PHP] PHP - Web/list Question...
Hi. I've got a question/issue that I want to bounce off the list. I have a list that extends over multiple pages. there might be 200 items, and i don't want to have the items listed on the same page as it would be too long. i can break the list up, so i can have it be displayed over multiple pages. however, i want the user to select different items from the list. given that the selected items might be over different pages, what's the best way of keeping a running track of the items that have been selected?? I could have each page be a form, and do a post/get where i then keep track of the selected items from page to page, but that would appear to get ugly. i'm looking for pointers to other sites/code that might have already implemented this kind of scenario. thoughts/pointers would be appreciated... thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You use a database, form on each page adds to a temp table on the database, when they have verified them all (if that is something they can do) OR have finished whatever form/survey you have them doing, then you write the temp table info to the one you want to keep. You could do some of that with ajax as well, but if you want to break up a 200 item list, you are looking at a database to store the info in the most efficient manner possible. You could also do it with sessions, but if they get stuck and need to come back, then if they had to login their session might be different and they'd have to start over again.

Accumulate them in the session. When done, and before final action you could let them view a summary of selected items and allow deletion of any entries they don't want.

I seem to remember a previous discussion about this 'bug' but I can't track the notes. Is it not the case that you can simply add days or months to the 'number' and then use strtotime to output the 'normalised' date. So adding 30 to 20th Sept would return 20th October. This very useful feature was corrected as a bug in the rewrite of Date in PHP5.1?
