 There is obviously an anti spam filter that processes many of these
 requests and prevent email IN while still sending it OUT to the banned
 addresses !

Chill out, or you'll see no help, OK?

If for whatever reason you don't get that unsibscribe email, you need to 
contact the people who run this list:

  php-general-owner at lists dot php dot net

But use that as a /last/ resort.  Try the unsubscribe page on the PHP website

Coming on this list and swearing at everyone won't get you anywhere.

 I was told that maybe the extension for MySQL was not setup in PHP.  I
 thought that maybe it was just because MySQL wasnt installed on the
 system I am working on, but it makes sense that I am not trying to
 access a database on the system I am working from, but trying to
 access one on a different server all together.
 
 What do you think?

I think the error message tells it all - there is no mysql support in the 
php you are using. You'll need to recompile with php support, or load a 
mysql extension library.

Yes, that works.

Is the following code the best way to redirect someone to a different

?php

I looked for a redirect function of some kind and didn't come up with 
anything.  Just curious what the consensus is...

From personal experience I can recommend putting exit; behind a header()
redirect to absolutely make sure that no code is executed afterwards in the
script:

header(Location: http://www.yahoo.com;); exit;

Without exit; the header redirect soemtimes didn't work for me.

You web server determines whether or not to look for PHP in a file based 
upon its extension. You must set up your web server to look for PHP code 
in .html files.

You are right, but not for the reason you think. script language=php 
is a valid way of starting PHP mode.

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php

Because the file extension is .html, though, the PHP engine will not 
parse any of the PHP in the file, though.

[PHP] Rporting tool - CVS?

2004-04-17 Thread Kim Steinhaug
Scenario :
Im working on several large projects, all which have several users.
Each user has a personal innstallation.

Each of my projects are in constant development, and often the updates
from version to version are only in a few files.

Is there a tool out there who can compare two folders, and generate
a report on what files are new, removed and updated?

Usually I just upload all the project files all over, since all settings are
in the database or settings file. But when projects have over 500 files,
and you have 50 customers it would be nice to just upload the files
which are updated.

I have a feeling CVS would maby be the trick here, but im not sure.
Still I could manually do this, it isnt that hard, but you know - maby
there already is such a system out there and in that case it would fit
me perfectly.

The diff command under Linux will serve you well to compare two
directories (optionally recursively).

However, you would be MUCH better off with something like CVS since in
many cases it will merge the changes for you. At the very least if it
cannot successfully merge the changes it will indicate where in the file
the conflict occurred and give you both versions of the code so you can
delete what you don't what and keep what you do.

HTH,
Rob.

You would have to use the zend-accelerator, phpa, turck-mmcache, apc or similar

Hi Kim, and all,

I think you are in the right felling about CVS. I use it in the way 
you're asking for with success. Because now I'm not on a team, I'm using 
CVS in local mode (without a CVS server).

I have a general repository, where I store all general libraries, and 
then a repository for each project. In each file, I include the CVS $Id$ 
tag, wich is changed by CVS for the file name and revision each time you 
commit to the repository.

When you are ready to upload a new revision to the web server, you can 
tag the version (Ex. Version-2-0) and export the repository by revision 
(only changed files are exported). If something fails in the server, or 
a bug appears, because you have all revision history, you can go back 
while fixing errors.

You can find CVS at http://cvshome.org
If you're working on Windows, take a look to CVSNT at http://cvsnt.org 
and to WinCVS at http://wincvs.org

Because this is OT in this list, feel free to contact me for any question.

Regards,
Jordi.

Use a .php extension on your file. Or you can ask your hosting company 
to have .html files processed as PHP, but they won't.

Is the following code the best way to redirect someone to a different

From personal experience I can recommend putting exit; behind a header()
redirect to absolutely make sure that no code is executed afterwards in the
script:

header(Location: http://www.yahoo.com;); exit;

Without exit; the header redirect soemtimes didn't work for me.

[PHP] Bookmark server

2004-04-17 Thread Chris W
I am planning on writing a bookmark server in php.  The idea is I will 
have a database that stores all my internet favorites on a web server 
some where, so if I am doing some web browsing away from home and find a 
site I want to save, I can go to my bookmark server and save the url 
there.  Now for the part I can't figure out an easy way to do.  I want 
to have it so if I am looking at a page I want to save I can type in a 
nice short url for my bookmark server and it will some how be able to 
know where I just came from and have the form fields for URL and 
description already filled in for me.  Then I just have to tell it what 
category to save the bookmark in.
First I thought the _SERVER[HTTP_REFERER] variable, but that only 
works if you click on a link and since every web page I want to save 
won't have a link to my bookmark server that won't work.
Then I thought I could use the history array with javascript, but that 
only works if your script is signed and I don't want to go there.

So now I am out of ideas and was wondering if anyone here had any.

[PHP] Why are Session Variables carried over into a brand new browser window?

2004-04-17 Thread Bob Bruce - Programmer
This is my first posting to this group, so I am not familiar
with any special etiquette for it, please bear with me. . .

I maintain the PHP code for the website for the murals of Winnipeg and
have found a situation where I have a session open with the state of
the user's search results saved in the session and link to a location
with the following link:

A target=blank
href=http://www.themuralsofwinnipeg.com/Mpages/index.php?action=gotomuralm
uralid=179

so this opens a new browser window, but it is inheriting the session values
from the browser window that called it and is causing problems in the new
window. When I open a new browser window shouldn't it start a whole new
session and not get anything from the previous browser.

Thanks in advance for your help,

If you treat the variable as a string it is already an array of

 so this opens a new browser window, but it is inheriting the session

 from the browser window that called it and is causing problems in the new

A buddy of mine created a secure sessions tutorial that protects against

Re: [PHP] why doesn't this work ?

2004-04-17 Thread Andy Ladouceur
It's already been mentioned, but you do need to ensure you are using a 
.php extension on the file. Also, forgive me if this has already been 
covered, but are you sure the server even supports PHP?

Try creating a new file with:
?php
phpinfo();
?
And save it as something.php, check and see if it returns a table full 
of information or not.
