The menu can be quite large as the data grows.

[PHP] Test Connection - fsockopen()
I am trying to create a remote status page for my website. So far, I
have found the fsockopen() function and used the example code to create
the following basic script:
?php
$fp = fsockopen (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo Down\n;
}
else{
echo Up\n;
fclose ($fp);
}
?
While this works when the server is UP, I get the following error when
it is down along with the 'Down' output:

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 in

Not sure what kind of help you're looking for but if you just want to
suppress errors, try this instead:

Re: [PHP] Destroying session if not being used from past 10 mins.
From: Binay [EMAIL PROTECTED] How can I configure the session to get destroyed, if not being used from past 10 mins. If you're using the default session handler, the session files are cleaned up after not being used for 1440 seconds (by default), and the session is basically destroyed. You can adjust the session.gc_maxlifetime setting in php.ini to adjust the time. This time isn't exact, though. The cleanup process is based upon a probability that is 1% by default. That means the process has a 1% chance of being started when there is a request to your site.

[PHP] Run PHP process on receipt of file
This is more than likely OT, but I am hoping that someone has seen something like this. I am in of need something that will monitor a directory for file receipts and execute a PHP script on each file as it is received. A small daemon of some sort. I am STFW I we 'speak', but this group knows so much that A little more in-depth... We receive several hundred XML files each day that describe groups of services. I want/need to process each of those XML files in 'real-time' as they are received. For reasons too numerous to go into I cannot use a frequently running CRON job for this. Each file comes in via an FTP process started by the sender, I need to see the file when it is complete and then process it via the PHP script. So, the daemon would 'see' the completion of the file's arrival and would then call the appropriate PHP script. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[PHP] [Newbie Guide] For the benefit of new members
= This message is for the benefit of new subscribers and those new to PHP. Those who do not want to be bothered just filter out the [Newbie Guide] mails. Please feel free to add more points and send to the list. == 1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP try http://www.php.net/manual/en first. You can download a copy and use it offline also. You can also try http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php to get answers to frequently answered questions about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne). 2. Try http://www.google.com next. Try searching for php YOUR QUERY and you may be lucky to get an answer within the first 10 results. 3. Glancing through the list archive at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general , you can find many of the common topics discussed repeatedly and can get your answer from those discussions. 4. If you are stuck with a script and do not understand what is wrong, instead of posting the whole script, try doing some research yourself. One useful trick is to print the variable/sql query using print or echo command and check whether you get what you expected. After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts (following steps 1, 2 3) and ask for help. 5. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like Help!!, A Question etc. Especially avoid blank subjects. 6. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail and enter the mailing list address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of replying to an existing thread and replacing the subject and body with your message. 7. PHP is a server side scripting language. Whatever processing PHP does takes place BEFORE the output reaches the client. Therefore, it is not possible to access the users' computer related information (OS, screen size etc) using PHP. You need to go for JavaScript and ask the question in a JavaScript list. 8. It's always a good idea to post back to the list once you've solved your problem. People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject line of their email when posting solutions. By posting your solution you're helping the next person with the same question. [contribued by Chris W Parker] 9. Ask smart questions http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [contributed by Jay Blanchard) 10. One of the repeatedly discussed question in the list is Best PHP editor. Everyone has his/her favourite editor. You can get all the opinions by going through the list archives.

[PHP] ob_get_length() returns uncompressed buffer length (after ob_start('ob_gzhandler'))
Hello PHP,
I found this small demonstration code on the net, that shows it really
good.
?php
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
print aa; // 30 a's
print bb; // 30 b's
print aa; // 30 a's
header('Content-Length: '.ob_get_length());
ob_end_flush();
?
Call it with:
wget --header=Accept-Encoding: gzip --header=Connection: close -S
http://localhost/test.php
on php-bugs I found that this is defined as bogus, as the
compression takes place after all output is collected.
But I did not find an answer, how to correct this.. - using
ob_implicit_flush(); did also not help.

Re: [PHP] Destroying session if not being used from past 10 mins.
Thanks alo... Is it possible to increase the probability which is by default 1% to 99 % and make sure that session are destroyed after 10 mins by setting session.gc_maxlifetime to 600. Binay - Original Message - From: CPT John W. Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Binay [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 5:08 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Destroying session if not being used from past 10 mins. From: Binay [EMAIL PROTECTED] How can I configure the session to get destroyed, if not being used from past 10 mins. If you're using the default session handler, the session files are cleaned up after not being used for 1440 seconds (by default), and the session is basically destroyed. You can adjust the session.gc_maxlifetime setting in php.ini to adjust the time. This time isn't exact, though. The cleanup process is based upon a probability that is 1% by default. That means the process has a 1% chance of being started when there is a request to your site. So the files may be older than 1440 seconds and just waiting for the garbage collection process to be initiated. If you need it to be exactly 10 minutes of inactivity, the best method is to just store the time of the last request as a session variable and do the checking yourself upon each request.

From: Binay [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is it possible to increase the probability which is by default 1% to 99 % and make sure that session are destroyed after 10 mins by setting session.gc_maxlifetime to 600. I wouldn't recommend that, but you could. The setting to 600 is fine, but I wouldn't adjust the probability. Like I said, if you need a hard and fast 10 minute rule, then keep track of the time yourself within your session. $_SESSION['last_access'] = time(); If the session variable doesn't exist or it's been over 10 minutes (600 seconds) since the last access, then make them log in again or whatever. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] cache control with javascript
The it that you were asking about was the server. The javascript file is
actually a PHP file that produces the JavaScript that I need. I only have
one access to a database and a while loop to generate the code. Here is the
code pieces:
[code]
// already connected to the db
$sql = SELECT * FROM Customers ORDER BY LastName ASC, FirstName ASC;
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
// generate the javascript
}
[/code]
The customer database can get potentially large so that this file could take
a while to generate. Currently there are only 300 records but I anticipate
many more. Does anyone have any recommendations that might speed this up?

Here is the situation:
I am creating a dropdown menu system that contains a customer list,
loaded from a database. This list is written to the javascript file
for the menu. The menu can be quite large as the data grows. What I
would like to do, is force it to be cached (unless of course the
user agent doesn't allow it) so that it doesn't have to make the
call to generate the file each time.
What is the second it in the last sentence above? A browser wouldn't
make the call to generate the javascript file each time.
I have searched through the php.net website and even through the
HTTP/1.1 protocols. I am continuing to look, but have not found a
definite answer as to whether or not what I am trying to do is
possible.
Just make sure that the javascript is on a separate file (i.e.
whatever.js) and that it's NOT being generated by your (php) script
each time. Then, call that file from inside your html/php page.

[PHP] search by keyword
hi all
i'm trying to add a 'search by keyword' text field to a search page. the 'search by
keyword' search field should allow users to enter a comma delimited string containing
a list of keywords to search the database for.
on the search_results page, what happens is:
-i use explode() to break the comma-delimited string down into array elements, and
count() to count the number of array elements
-then i use a for loop to cycle through the list of array elements and run a sql query
to search through a table for any matches to a particular array element. the for loop
looks like
//for loop that cycles through elements in an array, and searching through a mys
ql table for matches
for($j=0; $j$count_elements; $j++)
{$sql.=and columnname like '%keywords[$j]%' or columnname2 like '%keywords[$j]'
or columnname3 like '%keywords[$j]%'...';}
i think this is technically working, since it's not giving me any errors, however it
basically slows down searches to the point of unusability.
i'm not entirely sure if my methodology in this case is the most efficient way to
accomplish this particular task. if anyone can give any pointers, i'd appreciate it.
thanks

Considering the enourmos amount of RTFM-like answers (which BTW should be filtered out from searches)I came to believe that most issues have already been explored but lots of questions from new users are more vague or extended for a simple search engine, so something like what you proposed sounds like it would satisfy that need except that users would have to subscribe to such a service as opposed to having dynamically generated answers based on the archive replied automatically to posts which could be confuzing.

It's still a bit experimental, and some features don't work as best as they could. However, it should be fairly functional, and the full-text search engine can be helpful if you're looking for fast answers to problems that are often asked on the mailing lists. It's there for everyone to try, and please feel free to drop me a note if you think something doesn't quite work the way it should or if you have ideas about possible enhancement. At the present time, one of the things we're working on is filtering the messages trough SpamAssassin and allowing for the possibility to exclude messages marked as spam from the search results.

Instead of assigning everything to a variable and returning it you could
echo ; everything, OR I think you can turn on output buffering and
then capture the buffer and then return that.
I should also mention that I used to do what you originally presented
when I wrote ASP. It was real easy with ASP because there is a
function called Sub. It's not really a function in that it performs a
task, but it was more like defining an include without including an
entire file.
I also ran into a few problems with that method because it prevented me
from designing the infrastructure of the site in the way I wanted to. I
don't remember any specifics about that though. ;)

[PHP] Run exe file: Yes it is possible.
It depends on the server configuration. Tipicaly, the cgi-bin folder is used tu run scripts AND exe files. You have to put the exe file in cgi-bin and chek if this folder have permission tu run it. If not: give it. There are some sites that use exe instead of scripts to show pages. It gives more security but dificulty on manteining the program. Regards, Gabriel. Deependra B.
