I'm a Certified Macromedia CF Developer, why do you ask am I on this list? The answer is simple, php is better. However with the recent developments in CF6, CF has become very comparable. Why would I still choose PHP over CF given this? Ease of management. I don't have to even think about the server. I spend about 1 hr a month messing around with the server (daemon restarts or php config changes). That's where LAMP's value really shines through I think you will find.

Due to past experience that I won't get into, we (the Development group) have all agreed that ASP.Net is out (at least for the short term). We had the opportunity to visit a local enterprise that has deployed ColdFusion, and they couldn't stop singing its praises. I'm partial to PHP, even after sampling Coldfusion, so what I would like is some ammunition that I can take into a meeting to sell management on PHP instead of ColdFusion. I've already been harping on the difference in cost, so I'm looking for other points to go with. Besides, we'll probably invest in Zend products if we choose PHP, and Macromedia has government rates available; I don't have any numbers (yet), but the cost difference may not be that great in the end. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Opinions are welcome (especially from programmers with experience in both), but I have to sell it to management (I'm already on the PHP side), so links to data or articles comparing the two are best. It might not be easy to put a number on, but consider your (and possibly the other developers') enthusiasm about PHP. I would guess that you will be more productive with something that you are excited about. I have done a lot of work in both ColdFusion and PHP and I much prefer PHP. There are some technical reasons (i.e., I like shared nothing), but some of it is also personal preference. I just like it. CF is fine and I don't think it's dead, but it just isn't as fun to work with. My biggest problem with CF is probably that I have to use it on Windows and, well, I really don't like that. ;) You mention being in a Windows environment so maybe

[PHP] Zeus Technology wins again!
Zeus Technology has won a further two awards from TechWorld for our groundbreaking Zeus Extensible Traffic Manager (ZXTM), an advanced load balancing and application traffic management solution. ZXTM came out on top despite stiff competition from F5 Networks' BIG-IP 6400 and Netscaler's Application Delivery System. ZXTM combines functionality that businesses need now, such as SSL, load balancing and application acceleration, with emerging technologies that will be of increasing importance to applications in the future, such as native XML and SOAP capabilities. Editor of Techworld.com, Maxwell Cooter, commented on the awards, There were some interesting products in the accelerator category section but Zeus got the nod over some well-known competitors because of the way that it covered all bases from application and XML acceleration to server optimisation, and at a lower price. The Editor's Award is always a tough section to judge as we have to compare differing technologies. The judges felt that Zeus offered a genuinely innovative alternative in the field of traffic optimisation and acceleration and was a worthy winner. Our success at Techworld.com's Network Awards comes less than a month after Network Magazine selected ZXTM for their Product Breakthrough award in the Application-Aware Infrastructure category. If you'd like to know more or would like to try out ZXTM for yourself, I'd be happy to share further information with you. Feel free to drop me a line with your needs and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I don't think the server itself is coded in php - and regardless of the
technology used to deliver a site,
php is not required to output a HTTP header - although it does make it easy :-)

WRONG. He specifically said please only reply if you know how. Obviously
you do not.
and you can't ber bothered to read properly either, you reuse the other guys'
code
but you fail to see it has blatant typos in it - given your resounding WRONG
I figure
the least you could do it post something that isn't.
besides if you ask me, saying things like please only reply if you know how
is:
a, pretty implicit when asking a question.
b, shortsighted
c, a little rude

[PHP] Files
Hey all,
I am having a bash at working with flat files.
What I am trying to achieve is the following
There are 2 files with info in them,
file1 has
id,email
and file2 has
id,filename
what I am trying to achieve is open up file1 get the id and email then
open file2 and match the id of file1 to id of file2, then if succesful
send a mail with the filename in file2.
Maybe have a look at the code...
$recp_list = fopen(mail_group_list.txt, r);
while(!feof($recp_list))
{
$line = fgets($recp_list, 255);
$line = chop($line);
$split = explode(,, $line);
$id = $split[0];
$email = $split[1];
// time to mail.
if ($email != ) {
$group_list = fopen(file_group_list.txt, r);
while(!feof($group_list))
{
$groupline = fgets($group_list, 255);
$groupline = chop($groupline);
$groupsplit = explode(,, $groupline);
$groupid = $groupsplit[0];
$groupFileName = $groupsplit[1];
if($groupid = $id)
{
// start mailing
$fromname = Test Mailer;
$fromaddress = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$subject = Test mail;
$message = Test message $groupFileName;
$headers = From: \.$fromname.\ .$fromaddress.\n;
// Notify the user on screen if the send was succesfull
if(mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
print Mail sent successfully to $email;
}
else
{
print Mail not sent to $email;
}
}#end if groupid = id
}#end while group list
}#end if email
}#end while email !=
?
So thats the mail.php
mail_list_group.txt looks like this
1,test@test.com
5,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
7,test@test.com
file_group_list.txt looks like this
2,filename1.doc
3,filename2.doc
4,filename3.doc
Any help on this would be great !

RE: [PHP] Files
Hello,
I am not sure what problems you are having, but
Shouldn't the id's in the files match up?
So,
File1:
1, test@test.com
2, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
File2:
1, doc1.doc
2, doc2.doc
3, doc3.doc
Also, where you are comparing the $groupid to the $id, shouldn't it be:
if($groupid == $id)

Does the /tmp/traces dir exist? What permissions does it have? If you'll only be running cli stuff, then make sure you own it, and chmod to 600(or 700 if necessary). If you're running webserver stuff, then 660, and associate the webserver group with it(usually either nobody, www-data, or apache), when you use apache.

It's not really a waste of time. Some apache/php configurations accept
only the first form, some only the second.

notice the use of the words 'may be' and 'possibly', also you might wish to note
it wasn't a spec-driven comment but a 'get-it-working'-driven comment - fact is
there are people who have experienced problems with outputting of just the
'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently' (and it not doing what they want)

Re: [PHP] looking for a pure startup opportunity..
OK, let me put this another way... while trying to remain polite. Let's suppose that I am an unknown (to you) member of this list and I have this great idea that I want to develop. My idea is a great one and it's going to make millions. Now since I'm the one that had the idea I think it's pretty easy for me to go find 3 friends of mine (people that I know/trust/live close to me) that have the requisite skills. After all, it's not like most programmers go hanging out with Hollywood celebrities. ;) If I really believed that my idea was so hot then I probably wouldn't be waiting around for someone on this mailing list, I'd just get started doing it. true_story Back about two years ago I was subscribed to this newsgroup with my email address from college. Back then I was just doing what I do now... answering PHP questions while I work. Except that I answered a lot more questions then because, well, I was in school still. :) I don't remember exactly how many I answered, but you can check out the marcives if you really want. Anyhow, after doing this for about a year I apparently caught someone's attention. I received an email from insert_name_of_big-shot-venture-capitalist-here / telling me that he had capital to give me if I had an idea that I wanted to develop. I politely declined, but I told him I would get back to him if a superb idea came my way... /true_story I have always felt that getting the financing is the easy part. Besides, if your goal is to get $millions in funding then you're looking at it all wrong. The goal is to make profit... and loads of it. If it just so happens that you need a lot of funding to make that happen, then you can go get it. If you have killer idea(s), then you are better off mocking up a prototype and networking with some people that can get you financing. You always have to make a profit. You always have to make a profit. At least, if you plan on doing anything that's going to catch the attention of some VC's. ;) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Fatal error: Call to undefined function domxml_open_file() in /Users/Andrew/Sites/portfolio/index.php on line 61 This is because PHP5 now has an object-oriented approach. You use DOMDocument's and/or SimpleXML to read your XML files. Also in the newest versions of PHP there is a new extension called XMLWriter that might better suit your needs. How can I fix this problem? In short, you can't do anything except modify code to the new way of doing things.

RE: [PHP] looking for a pure startup opportunity..
and jason... you and i and our experiences are vastly different. i'm considerably older, and been through the wars!! funding, on terms that you as an entrepreneur would accept is not 'easy' to find. a good VC/Angel funds an extremely small number of the proposals that come by their eyes.. but your mail gets to my point with the right team/right concept, the approach of putting together a few people is doable... and yeah.. if you have an idea, and already know a few people with the right skills, then you're ahead of the game, assuming that the people you know are committed, etc... for some reason, your mail is focused on the funding aspect.. i fundamentally reject that you need external funding to build a small/successful business. the fact that you appear to think/believe that you need funding, (or should find funding) indicates that you're only looking at one possible solution to the issue of creating a business. but jason, you also need to remember, we're not trying to create a biz to then go find funding. the goal is to create a fully sustainable business function that meets certain parameters. bottom line, if you're willing to take a chance, to work with others, to build something that might succeed, this will appeal to you. if you're not this kind of person, nothing short of a guaranteed check/salary will ever get you to work with a startup function!! it's about managing risks/expectations, and delivering what you say you're going to deliver, when you say it's going to be delivered. -bruce -Original Message- From: Jason Barnett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 6:16 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] looking for a pure startup opportunity..

Re: [PHP] Question about HTTP 301 permanent redirects
Hi Actually you can get away with this: header(Location: $url,301); This will let php generate the proper headers Also, and I stress this point (again and again), the http specification clearly states that location headers need to have a *fully qualified url* not a site-specific one. Failure to do so puts the proper working of your site in the hands of the end user's browser who may very well fail to redirect because he doesn't find http://yourpage.php.

[PHP] Re: PHP vs. ColdFusion
Quoting Ke'tszeri Csaba [EMAIL PROTECTED]: About zend: sorry to say that here, but the less tools you use, the more freedom you have. Give me ssh access to any server running my php code and I can inspect it very well, may fix it in one shot :)). From anywhere. For what it's worth, I agree. I work with php at home and run it on a server with no graphical interface installed. For all of my work there, I ssh to the server and use vi to edit the files. At the office, we plan to use Zend Studio (it provides some functionality we like) and Zend Platform (for monitoring the server), but we will definitely ensure that any apps would run on a server with just php (to avoid lock-in). More tecnically, like we were programmers: php offers several of its functions as a wrapping of low level system routines and native drivers. I can hardly imagine any app design to be more effective than this. If you are worried about code parsing, php accelerator may be just enough. ;) Thanks for your input!

Re: [PHP] PHP vs. ColdFusion
Quoting Jochem Maas [EMAIL PROTECTED]: what is special about the MSSQL2K servers? do you have a lot of stored procedures in it? stuff like that? Exactly; the past mentality has been do everything through stored procedures, so we have a *lot*. Also, my manager's boss (who has since retired) had a very Microsoft-centric outlook. My manager is gradually overcoming that, but everything we do is data collection, storage, and retrieval, so MSSQL2K is pretty entrenched in the organization. if the MSSQL servers are so important/complex/big/etc then maybe ASP.not is the right way to go? given that moving 'everything' from client-server to web-baseed interfaces isn't really a short-term operation. (assuming some level of complexity in the existing software.) Good point. But ASP.Net is definitely out (even my Microsoft-centric manager wants to stay away from the Framework for now). Only new applications and smaller existing utilities will be done web-based, with an eye on porting existing applications gradually at some later time as our schedule permits. And you hit the nail right on the head; our existing apps are very complex (heavy COM+, MSMQ, and some of those other nasty bits :-); those won't even be considered for some time. A funny thing about this; I wrote a php application as a proof-of-concept (to show that it would work for us). The big-wigs in the organization fell in love with the app, and it was placed into production. It was initially placed on a W2K server with IIS 5, but we had some problems. It was moved to a W2K3 server with IIS 6, and the problem remained. I moved the app to a Linux server (well, it's really just a PC) with Apache2, and it's run for a few weeks without any problems. I think my manager's new boss wants to use this success to use a production Linux server (which would be our first) to host our web apps. like marcromedia tools are required to run CF, they 'tie you in' to the technology. buying Zend products is optional, if the Zend IDE is judge to be a moneysaving tool for working with PHP then you buy it. But you don't have to. the essential tools are with out cost and open to inspection and modification. Purchasing Zend Accelerator/Encoder maybe a good move for you company but again its not a requirement. Absolutely. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm used to developing through ssh with vi :-) Any code we write would have to run on a server without any Zend products, but those of us who have evaluated them believe there is enough added value in some of the Zend products to consider them. from a strategic point of view it might also not be wise to make a substanstial investment in technology from a company thats just been bought out by the competion (adobe)? That will definitely be discussed; I read an article the other day that the acquisition has now put Adobe/Macromedia in Microsoft's cross-hairs. Of course, I also read an article that Microsoft is trying to extinguish LAMP, but I actually chuckled when I read that one. Thanks for your input!

Re: [PHP] PHP vs. ColdFusion
Quoting Brad Pauly [EMAIL PROTECTED]: It might not be easy to put a number on, but consider your (and possibly the other developers') enthusiasm about PHP. I would guess that you will be more productive with something that you are excited about. Our senior developer and I (who come from a C background) are big php fans, and have made that fact clear to management. We have a new developer whose background is in ColdFusion, but he's been playing with and has warmed to php; he says he likes it and would look forward to the challenge of a new language. We have a Visual Basic programmer who I thought would push for ColdFusion but, to my surprise, he's pushing for php (maybe just because he's following everybody else, but I don't really care why). Our last developer hasn't expressed an opinion one way or the other. Our manager, who will ultimately make the decision, has seen some ColdFusion demos and really likes the ease of use (through abstraction of common tasks) and RAD capabilities. To my knowledge, she hasn't looked at php yet (which is why I'm soliciting information). I have done a lot of work in both ColdFusion and PHP and I much prefer PHP. There are some technical reasons (i.e., I like shared nothing), but some of it is also personal preference. I just like it. CF is fine and I don't think it's dead, but it just isn't as fun to work with. My biggest problem with CF is probably that I have to use it on Windows and, well, I really don't like that. ;) You mention being in a Windows environment so maybe you don't have a choice with that aspect. Good information; I really appreciate having opinions from ColdFusion developers. As far as the Windows environment, things may be on the way to changing; see my earlier post about a current php application running on a Linux box with Apache. If management can see that you are stoked to use PHP that might help your cause. That's what I'm hoping, and so far it seems to be having an impact. Thanks for your input!

RE: [PHP] PHP vs. ColdFusion
Quoting Matt Babineau [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Yeah - I'll second all of this. I'm a Certified Macromedia CF Developer, why do you ask am I on this list? The answer is simple, php is better. However with the recent developments in CF6, CF has become very comparable. Why would I still choose PHP over CF given this? Ease of management. I don't have to even think about the server. I spend about 1 hr a month messing around with the server (daemon restarts or php config changes). That's where LAMP's value really shines through I think you will find.

Here is my complete test script for your review:

$file1 = 'file_A';
$file2 = 'file_B';
$file3 = 'file_C';
$files = $file1,$file2,$file3;

$user = 'root';
$tld = 'com';
$tmp_dir = '/tmp/test';
$cmd = scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:$directory/\{$files\} $tmp_dir;
exec($cmd, $output, $err);
echo string: $cmd \n;
echo status:$err \n;
print_r($output);
?

That'll work, but if you have the same files serving both the HTTP and
HTTPS sites you might want to enclose it in the following, unless you
like infinite loops:
if($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on') {
}
Assuming that you're using Apache. I'm not sure if other servers set
that variable.
