I want a function or macro to return executable code yielding syntax

somewhat messy I though a regular function might be capable of doing the
job.
e.g.

Ok. The problem is in the following snippet of code. ( Note : this exmaple
is extremely contrived, and is the essence of a much more complicated
situation involving a function call from a class method... )
?php
$data = array( A = AA , B = BB, C= CC, D= DD, E
= EE );
print pre\n;
foreach ( $data as $key1=$val1 )
{
//foreach ( $data as $key2=$val2 )
foreach ( array_keys($data) as $key2 ) // = PROBLEM IS HERE
{
if ( $key1 == $key2 )
print b$key2/b;
else
print $key2;
print ;
}
print \n;
}
print /pre;
?
I beleive it should generate
pre
bA/b B C D E
A bB/b C D E
A B bC/b D E
A B C bD/b E
A B C D bE/b
/pre
Instead it generates
pre
bA/b B C D E
/pre
If I replace the problem line
foreach ( array_keys($data) as $key2 )
with the alternate
foreach ( $data as $key2=$val2 )
then it works fine.

Hai Brain,
I don't _think_ this is a bug (note: think). I haven't taken a very
good look at your code, but as I understand you believe that:
foreach ($data as $key)
delivers the same $key as in:
foreach ($data as $key=$value)
Well... it doesn't. Check the manual on it. If you use the
foreach ($x as $y) construction, $y is the value... not the key.
Take a look at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php
Quote from PHP manual
foreach(array_expression as $value)
foreach(array_expression as $key = $value)
/Quote from PHP manual
I think this solves your problem...

[PHP] multiple submit buttons
Hi all, I noticed this chunk of code in a site the other day: input type=Submit name=btn value=Yes input type=Submit name=btn value=No My GUESS is that if i click the Yes button, I magically get $btn = Yes as a var is the receieving PHP script. I was just about to test this, when I realised that (from what I can tell) multiple submits are not supported by CGI spec. So, even if it works on my browser/platform/server/php combination, can I be sure it'll work faithfully on all environments? Should I be worried about what the browser sends, or what PHP does with it, etc etc? Has anyone doen some serious testing on this? Good or bad stories?

I have a html page including php scripts that perform different stuff.
The page contains a form (a Select 'products-price' and a field 'qty').
Depending the choice made by the user, I need to know what item in the
SELECT object was choose and the number entered in the 'Qty' field to
initialized a 'subtotal' zone BEFORE the user submit the form.
This functionality is common to all e-business sites when you have to clic
on the 'update' button before submit the form.
Any idea ?

You'll need to use JS...
Eg:
--- HTML example ---
HTML
BODY
FORM name=frm
SELECT name=mySel
OPTION value=25Blah 1/OPTION
OPTION value=5Blah 2/OPTION
OPTION value=83Blah 3/OPTION
OPTION value=2Blah 4/OPTION
/SELECT
INPUT type=button value=Update
onclick=void(someUpdateFunc());
/FORM
/BODY
SCRIPT type=text/javascript
function someUpdateFunc () {
var selValue = document.frm.mySel.options[document.frm.mySel.selectedIndex].value;
alert (You selected: +selValue);
}
/SCRIPT
/HTML
--- End of HTML example ---
This will show you what you need (I hope)...

I'm not familiar with MS SQL on a price per seat basis, but how many developers do you have? If you are doing this web-based you don't have that many seats. Given that your developers are used to working in MS SQL it may be cheaper in terms of overall developer costs. The downside of that course is that you are locked into MSFT's plans for the product and Windows NT/2000/XP. A robust and reliable open source alternative is PostgreSQL. It has features your developers are used to, is adequately fast, and is certainly robust. It would probably be the easiest port. Drivers are kept current in PHP, Python, Perl and of course ODBC.

The applications are based on Informix On-Line (on a SCO Unix server) and MS SQL (on NT). Since we will be doing a port, in any case, I am wondering your thoughts on whether MySQL may be a better database solution. This is particularly important from a price-performance point of view since the other two databases are quite pricy on a per-seat basis.

If when you mean pro-active you mean that's intentional and is all part
of a plan,
then we agree. If you acted somehow to promote PHP and got some
unexpected results
(good or bad) that is still marketing although not pro-active.
Regardless of this definition, I meant the former. It was quite
intentional, we're working towards publishing articles about PHP and trying
to get analysts to cover it.
If you are going to descriminate sites based on subjective criteria,
like matters of taste or points of view that vary greatly from person to
person, that is bad because you will certainly leave out contributions
that could help greatly PHP and in the end yourself.
It would certainly would make you look arrogant if you get to be picky
as if including some sites and not others you would be doing somebody
else a favor when the promotion that PHP gets from the sites will always
benefit you direct or indirectly.
But that's the problem, and that's why I think it's not necessarily a good
idea. Some people may feel it's arrogant, but it doesn't change the fact
that some sites may result in PHP's brand going in the opposite
direction. Because there's no objective criteria and no jurisdiction, we
won't have ways to avoid this, at least not without causing some people to
feel very bad.
If I were you I certainly would not rule out sites with content that
overlaps others. Why not accept all sites that provide PHP articles? One
site may not be as good or as complete as other today, but they may
improve over time enough to be technically better than others that you
picked before. What would you do then? Accept what you refused before
and then discard what you accepted before? Doesn't seem to be a good
idea.
I think that you're forgetting where this whole discussion started. If the
idea is to make everybody feel good about themselves (which is a viable
objective on its own) and be as 'fair' as possible, then what you wrote in
this paragraph and in the two paragraphs before it makes perfect
sense. But that's not the goal you were talking about. The goal is to
push PHP, to market it, and to give it a good image. Unfortunately, doing
the 'nice-to-everybody' thing ('developer-oriented') does not go hand in
hand with doing the right thing from a marketing perspective
('consumer-oriented'). They're not mutually exclusive, not at all, but
they're definitely not identical directions.
Anyway, in a Web ring banner you only promote a site at each banner
view. I don't see the problem of rotating banners of overlapped content.
The way I see it is that if it's too loose, it's useless. It won't give
PHP any professional feel or anything. If it's more tight, then we're
going to have to ensure that the sites are sync'd in terms of avoiding
duplicate content, that they're all of good quality, etc. This is *very*
difficult to do in a world which is almost completely based on volunteer
work. I, for one, don't think we can demand *anything* from PHP community
site webmasters - whatever they do to help PHP is good, and they should get
to decide how much and in what ways they're willing to contribute.
Things like that are usually not that simple, or in other words, they're
easier said than done. If done sloppily, they can have a negative
effect. And doing them correctly requires substantial efforts.
You sound bureacratic. You should feel honoured by the extra promotion
that all the PHP content sites give you because your business depends on
PHP acceptance in the market. Why make it hard for sites that are
willing to help you in the end?
Because I'm trying to look at the goal and look how we can try to achieve
it, and be as realistic as possible about our chances. Using a screwdriver
to hammer a nail doesn't work, and I think that thinking that this Web ring
would do the job of marketing PHP is over-optimistic.
Honor has nothing to do with it, and I think it's a great thing that there
are lots of PHP web sites and a strong community behind it.
I think it is fair enough to make some base rules like don't be too
lame (define too lame), but almost everybody should be accepted.
If we go that route, you can call it in many ways, but marketing is not one
of them :)
I guess you just say that because you were simply not affected by the
major Internet layoffs that happened in the latest months, so you don't
seem to have a great idea how bad this has been for so many people.
Of course the Internet is not gone. It just happens that the number of
companies with business depending on it was drastically reduced. So,
there aren't so much employment and business opportinities as before.
That's what I mean.
I'm quite aware of the serious slow down, I'm in the hi tech industry as
well, remember? :) It doesn't change the way the Web's future looks as a
medium. There was serious hype that caused a big balloon of hot air, which
blew up. But the medium itself

Maybe it is not supported by CGI but that doesn't mean it is not supported by the browser. There is no reason for IE of course to say it hurts.

does anyone know of a scenario (perhaps involving
non-string data) where the concatenation does not
return the same answer?
If you have three vars:
$user = foo;
$users = array(Peter,Michael);
This could be a problem:
echo $users hair is brown;
if what you ment was:
echo $string.s hair is brown; // Peters hair is brown

PS: In Danish (I'm Danish) you write 'Peters hair' and not 'Peter's
hair' which why I made this silly example :-)

Would using an array for the results page be the best way to approach this
in PHP?
depends on how much and what post-processing you might
want to do to the data before printing it out.
in the most common case, you don't need to do any.
for example, you already did the sorting in the SQL query,
so the database already did the sorting. and usually you
just need to display the data as it is received, no need for
special post-processing/massaging.
then there's no need to use arrays at all, just read the rows
from the resultset, and display the fields you want to
display, e.g.,
$res=sql_exec($query);
/* $res is the result set, use for stepping over the rows
found */
$fldsToDisplay=fullname addr1 addr2 city state zip ;
/* add other fields to display in the order you want them
displayed */
$fldstoDisplay=explode( ,$fldsToDisplay);
/* i'm lazy. array(...) works too but i like this more
because the list is easier to type as a string (fewer
quotes) and you can load the list of flds to display
from somewhere else (e.g., a config file or something)
*/
print(TABLE\n);
/* for each row in the resultset, get associative array of
the row */
while($row=sql_fetch_array($res))
{
print(\tTR\n);
/* for each field to be displayed, get the next
fieldname, and get the corresponding data
from the associative array and print it in a
table cell */
for($ctr=0;$ctrcount($fldsToDisplay);$ctr++)
{
$fldname=$fldsToDisplay[$ctr];
$data=$row[$fldname];
print(\t\tTD$data/TD\n);
}
print(\t/TR\n);
}
print(/TABLE\n);
PS. replace sql_* functions with the relevant
functions for your database or with whatever DB
abstraction package you use.
PPS. sometimes you have to do post-processing.
but most such data massaging involves only other
fields in the same row or global data. the above
common case system will need to be modified if
your data massaging involves data from other,
far-off rows in the same selection. usually, though,
even that can be solved by sub-selects and
other SQL tricks.

Re: [PHP] The future of PHP
Hello, These guys resort to these marketing tricks to promote Python as hell, and the PHP people just sits and waits doing almost nothing in comparision to promote PHP as hard as they can even when they lives depend on the acceptance of PHP as a wide spread language! Manuel, please, give this tirade a rest. Nobody associated with Python development was involved in this amazing marketing trick you are referring to. Somebody just decided to do this on their own. And now you are criticizing the PHP developers for not having the same foresight as the Python developers? Yes. I feel that it is a constructive criticism, like saying, there are plenty of ways to market PHP, with or without money, but what you do in comparision is very little to what Python people do. So, you need to do more. I am not saying that what you do is wrong. It says so right in their FAQ (http://software-carpentry.codesourcery.com/faq.html) And in answer to some of the more virulent postings on Usenet and in other venues, neither Guido van Rossum nor anyone else associated with Python development was involved in setting up this project, choosing the language, or defining the terms of the competition. Guido was only asked to be a judge after the decision to use Python had been made.

[PHP] Making gd Extensions
Greetings: I'm following the thread regarding PHP extensions in the thread The future of PHP - accessory libraries very anxiously. I've been trying to get this feature going for quite some time but without success. The current item I'm wrestling with is the gd extensions. I've rebuilt PHP and Apache so many times to enable one feature only to learn that I forgot to recompile one that I'd relied on previously. It's a never ending battle to get all of the features required. The .so extensions option is a great feature that I'd like to make use of. In trying to compile the gd .so extension (gd-1.8.4), I'm receiving the following errors. Any ideas?

RE: [PHP] The future of PHP
I don't understand when this thread became so focused on monetary needs. We are talking about penetrating corporate markets, and all corporate markets care about is time to market, cost of maintenance, and long term support. Not that marketing is worthless, but if we build a better product, it will be used whether we do some Houdini use-our-product marketing game or not. The future of PHP will be determined by the dedication and sacrifice of the developers associated with it. Every success is measured in sacrifice. In the realm of Java and .NET it is primarily a monetary sacrifice - they could have spent that money on something else, but elected to spend it on this instead. Every member of the PHP team could have spent their time on something else, but chose this. This continued dedication will yield just as much success in the long run. The true reason that Java gets a huge boost from marketing is that marketing creates the labor market of qualified people by encouraging people to retrain based on a perceived market for the technology. It is the perception that creates the market. Voodoo economics at its best. As I said before, PHP is already discussed in the corporate circles that matter, and the recurring theme is getting qualified people to do it. Sure, experienced Java or C or ASP (bleh) gurus could retrain easily and be able to handle PHP with no trouble. Who cares? They're not there yet. That affects time to market. When we look at pure numbers, there is a direct correlation between the corporate growth of PHP and the labor market of PHP developers. While we cannot create a labor market out of perceptual metrics, we have, in my opinion, the strongest and most comprehensive web scripting language on the planet, and that will make the future of PHP bright and limitless. The never ending dedication of the hundreds of developers and the thousands of people preaching its wonders will ultimately propel us to the front page of every buzzword magazine in circulation. This will happen whether we have silly games, spend a billion dollars on ad campaigns, build trade show booths that look like space rockets, or give away door prizes for making tricky code. Manuel, I can only urge you to focus on reality instead of Utopia. We have a better product and that is all we have. The good news? That's all we need. Maybe a little patience and some free pizza too, but that's neither here nor there. Economics says so.

Re: [PHP] The future of PHP
Hello, Frederick L. Steinkopf wrote: Manuel, Rather than whining about the future of PHP, why don't you be proactive and take on the goal of raising the $100,000 for the project? Because I do not depend on the PHP future for my professional life. That is a role for PHP core developers that only dedicate to PHP. Anyway, if you followed the whole thread from the beginning, you would noticed that I developed the PHP Classes repository. It is a site that lets developers post their PHP components in the form of PHP classes. Everytime a developer posts a new class, a notification message is sent to the site subscribers. The site has now over 42.000 subscribers. Over 300 classes have been contributed by the about 200 authors. This is a great place for developers get immediate exposure of their work and for users to find some freely available ready to use components for their PHP applications. I developed this site originally to distribute my own PHP classes, but while I was at it I decided to make it a place for other developers to distribute theirs. So, this helps PHP being promoted by providing compensation to both the developers and the users. This was all planned ahead. The users are required to login to download. That way I can account acurately the number of users that downloaded the classes. This way I can compute acurate top download charts, creating a sort of hall of fame for the most popular PHP Classes and the authors that contributed them. I antecipated that this way I would be providing recognition to PHP and all the authors that contributed because in the end I would have real figures to show to those that doubt of PHP acceptance. How much is that worth if you had money to put up front to promote PHP with a normal marketing campaign? Maybe more that $100.000. If I just think of the work envolved in the development of the site for all these two years, it would probably cost more. I don't do more because I really can't justify putting more time because these days my professional life does not revolve around PHP, not even for the Web. Since I really can't do it, coming here expressing my points on what should be done is much better than nothing. People that know me, are aware that once in a while I bother to speak up for the best of PHP, proposing new ways to go and warning about things that are not being properly addressed. If you look back in the mailing list archives you will notice that I am often fought by people that refuse to agree with me, maybe because they are responsible for not having done what I am proposing or for some reason they don't like to give me the reason that what I say the right way to go, despite probably some agree but don't want to admit it. Anyway, it doesn't matter, as long as something gets done and the future is brighter for PHP and all those that depend on it. So, history demonstrated that despite things are not done exactly as I proposed, something is done, which is better than nothing. I think this is being proactive, because I am acting with the intention of causing some progress. It does not cost me money directly, but the intention and the good consequences are what matter.

$myrow[nickname],$myrow[created],$myrow[article],$myrow[link]);
} while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));
echo /font/table\n;
This again works fine just, the problem is that it always leaves the first
ever article submitted at the top of the page and the latest go down and
down etc... I would like to get the latest article to go at the top and
oldest to the bottom.
Any help would be gratefully apreciated!

This again works fine just, the problem is that it always leaves the first

oldest to the bottom.
Any help would be gratefully apreciated!

Go over your results like this instead:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
echo $row['listnum']; // displays 'listnum' field
echo $row['officephone']; // etc...
}
(I've assumed your syntax for the mysql_fetch_row() function, I haven't used
it in a while (use PostgreSQL myself)).

Re: [PHP] What does PHP stand for?
PHP originally stood for personal home pages. It was nothing more than a parser that interpreted a few macros to allow people to do extra things (like count visitors) on their homepage. PHP/FI or PHP2 was Personal Home Pages/Form Interpreter, and added form handling and mSQL to PHP. PHP3 was the release that was a full blown Scripting Language/Interpreter. With the release of PHP as more than a personal homepage toolkit it was renamed PHP Hypertext Preprocessor The first P actually stands for PHP, making this a recursive acronym (http://ase.isu.edu/ase01_07/ase01_07/bookcase/ref_sh/foldoc/30/91.htm) Sheridan Saint-Michel Website Administrator FoxJet, an ITW Company www.foxjet.com - Original Message - From: Martín Marqués [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: John Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 5:08 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] What does PHP stand for?

[PHP] HELP : How to suggest a download-filename for IE on MAC
HELP i'm desperate
I try to write a downloadskript, which results in the fillowing URL :
http://www.myserver.de/securedownload.php?pdfdownload=checkliste3.pdf
yes you guessed right : securedownload does some auth-stuff
it works on win2000 IE 6.0,5.5 NE 6.0 AND 4.76. it also works well on
MAC when used with Netscape 4.5 but not when used with IE 5.
it always suggests 'securedownload.php' as the filename, which of cause
sucks
I tried EVERY combination of the suggested headers at www.php.net/header
,
but can't get it to work.
here is what i use :
.
header( Content-type: application/download\n );
header( Content-Disposition: filename=$download );
header( Content-Description: PHP3 Generated Data );
set_time_limit(0);
readfile('/home/path/to/myfiles/securepdfs/'.$download);
Anyone ever found a solution for MAC ??
( i hate Mac, but my boss uses one, so ... )

RE: [PHP] SELECT * FROM
Couple of other tips for you. 1. SELECT * is bad unless you really need every field. If you don't, specify which ones you want - the query will perform better. $s = SELECT * FROM News; // bad $s = SELECT NewsHeadline, NewsTeaser FROM News; // better 2. You appear to be connecting to your database (a) as root and (b) without a password (although you may have modified the code, so I'm not sure).

[PHP] Problem replacing part of a string
Hi,
I have a PHP routine that writes to a text file. An example output line would be:
fputs($fp, $form[notify_1] . \n);
Where $form[notify_1] is an array of form variables passed to it. What I wish to do
is prior to writing to the text file, I want to search and replace all ')' with '}'
and all '(' with '{'. I did the following change to the line of code above and wrote
the following function:
fputs($fp, txt_change($form[notify_5]) . \n);
function txt_change($txt_string) {
$prt_string = str_replace((, {, $txt_string);
$prt_string = str_replace(), }, $txt_string);
return $prt_string;
}
My problem is that the search and replace is NOT working. According to the manual, my
syntax for str_replace is correct. Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks,
Don
Re: [PHP] Problem replacing part of a string
function txt_change($txt_string) {
$prt_string = str_replace((, {, $txt_string);
$prt_string = str_replace(), }, $txt_string);
return $prt_string;
}
even you replace with first statement, you forget it. Better :
function txt_change($txt_string) {
$txt_string = str_replace((, {, $txt_string);
$txt_string = str_replace(), }, $txt_string);
return $txt_string;

Re: [PHP] The future of PHP
Hello, one assumption you seem to have is the ongoing viability of php (if not the very livelihood of we the developers using php) is somehow a function of the number of folks who know what php is. that somehow the more folks know about php, the better php gets. it also seems that you feel 'the PHP people' are not putting forth enough effort to further php's acceptance and viability. from my point of view as a developer using php, recognition of php in the corporate world is not as important as how good php is. i prefer to see efforts focused on developing the best darn HTML-embedded scripting language this side of the railroad tracks. whether or not php gets talked about on the evening news doesn't really matter. what matters is whether php helps me as a programmer. i don't care how many folks recognize the power of php. i care about the power of php. the number of folks using php is a function of whether or not 'the PHP people' can continue to produce such rockin' code over the next few years. not the other way around. i imagine you have a unique perspective on the effort it takes to promote php. but, i'm guessing that 'the PHP people' probably do as well. i myself am unduly grateful for the effort that they put forth, not only in producing the rockin'st language anyone could have hoped for when learning to program, but in promoting php as well. when i saw php was featured at the open source convention in san jose, i knew things were moving along just fine. that's the kind of promotion i want to see. i believe 'the PHP people' should be allowed to promote php in a manner they are comfortable with. after all, it's their itch. ya know, making the best HTML-embedded scripting language seems a pretty noble goal to me. If you read my messages in the thread from the beginning you can see that basically the current problems of PHP in its acceptance are more with the people view of PHP than about its technical abilities. It is a known fact that PHP is very good for Web programming. The problem is that not everybody that could use PHP knows or is so sure about it. That is why PHP needs to be better marketed.

[PHP] ldap_connect question
the ldap_connect man page states that calling ldap_connect with no
arguements should return the link identifier to the open ldap
connection. in the following code i find that the script stops before
writing the second printf statement:
$LDAP_CONNECTION = ldap_connect($MY_LDAP_SERVER);
printf(brstop1.1 == LDAP_CONNECTION --%d--, $LDAP_CONNECTION);
printf(brstop1.2 == current link id --%d--, ldap_connect());
the first printf statement tells me that the link id is 1. if i use
ldap_connect(''), then i get a link id of 2; it seems as though
ldap_connect is trying to connect to a null server name. if i use
ldap_connect then i get a link id of 0.
any ideas?

[PHP] Strange Form Error
Hi, Can anyone tell me why php is behaving like this? If I use enctype=multipart/form-data, it seems the first form field is not passed to php. ex: form method=post action=products.asp enctype=multipart/form-data input type=hidden name=cmd value=edit $cmd will not be passed to php, I have to do this: form method=post action=products.asp enctype=multipart/form-data input type=hidden name=null value=null input type=hidden name=cmd value=edit Now I can use $cmd. Is this normal? Windows Law 1: What boots up must come down... All I ask of life is a constant and exaggerated sense of my own importance.

Re: [PHP] The future of PHP
If you read my messages in the thread from the beginning you can see that basically the current problems of PHP in its acceptance are more with the people view of PHP than about its technical abilities. It is a known fact that PHP is very good for Web programming. The problem is that not everybody that could use PHP knows or is so sure about it. That is why PHP needs to be better marketed. Well, at least some of us are spending a whole lot of time getting in front of people and showing them how useful PHP is. For the month of August I have seen my wife a total of 5 days. In July I saw her about 9 days. The rest of the time I was on the road and in front of people showing them how cool PHP is or sometimes I was home and she was on the road. Just to give you an idea.

That actually is not true. If you don't think I and others involved in PHP development is doing enough to promote PHP that is fine. And suggestions are welcome.

Re: [PHP] The future of PHP
I attended one of your conferences / training sessions, the Linux Conference in NYC, and I have to say it was excellent, and certainly motivational. Through that one day of your speech it motivated me enough to get off my bum and start using PHP in our environment for whatever we possibly could... and we have been pretty sucessful in the short time we've been implementing it. The ease of use, ease of learning, and overall excellent design of the language has made it a pleasure to use... And I recommend it to customers now, any one that is willing to listen to me blabber more than 2 minutes. --Matthew PS: The power of open source is not in the advertising... it's in the product, which makes it all the more worthwhile. -- On Wed, 29 Aug 2001 10:03:21 Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: If you read my messages in the thread from the beginning you can see that basically the current problems of PHP in its acceptance are more with the people view of PHP than about its technical abilities.

Re: [PHP] Database Preference? -- Manuel, Michael, Miles
I appreciate all your thoughts. Miles, regarding the price-per-seat issue, it isn't a question of the number of developers but the number of simultaneous connections to the database. For example, a 64-user Informix license is over $5,000 ... While I doubt we will need to maintain persistent connections, I could envision longer transactions creating a queue in the WAIT line. While most of our SQL code is fairly vanilla, the code has lots of sub-queries, unions, outer joins, and transactions, etc. That appears to rule-out MySQL. Regarding a database abstraction package: does Metabase handle all standard SQL constructs (as opposed to vendor-specific SQL extensions)? The GUI applications to be ported were built with JAM, which basically provides an abstraction layer via its JPL language. JPL has not been restrictive in terms of required functionality, nor was there any real performance hits. Can the same be said of Metabase? Also, would Metabase present a significant learning curve for experienced C and SQL programmers? I will download PostgreSQL and check it out. Again, your input is appreciated and helpful. James Potts Miles Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... If you are used to Informix, MySQL will be unsatisfying - no stored procedures, outer joins, sub-queries, transactions. MySQL is much like early dBase II. I'm not familiar with MS SQL on a price per seat basis, but how many developers do you have? If you are doing this web-based you don't have that many seats. Given that your developers are used to working in MS SQL it may be cheaper in terms of overall developer costs. The downside of that course is that you are locked into MSFT's plans for the product and Windows NT/2000/XP. A robust and reliable open source alternative is PostgreSQL. It has features your developers are used to, is adequately fast, and is certainly robust. It would probably be the easiest port. Drivers are kept current in PHP, Python, Perl and of course ODBC.

The applications are based on Informix On-Line (on a SCO Unix server) and MS SQL (on NT). Since we will be doing a port, in any case, I am wondering your thoughts on whether MySQL may be a better database solution. This is particularly important from a price-performance point of view since the other two databases are quite pricy on a per-seat basis.

Re: [PHP] The future of PHP
So sprach »Zeev Suraski« am 2001-08-29 um 19:43:15 +0300 : very useful, especially to people who already know PHP. However, assuming that it would ever catch a significant share of the GUI market is naive, IMHO. Well, my point was, that at the beginning of the Perl-GTK binding, noone would have guessed that Perl EVER might be a useful GUI programming language (at least I suppose so). I'm also not saying that PHP has to be actively pushed in this direction. Not at all. I'm quite with you that PHP should focus on it's Web-abilities. However, I don't think it's right to say that this will never ever happen, like you do. And I also do think, that it's counter-productive from you to say something like this. I mean, it would be okay (with me), if you kinda ignored this. But what's so bad about PHP-GTK that you speak so strongly against it?
