From the command line it runs perfectly A PHP script runs with the permissions of the user that Apache runs as, usually nobody. When run from the command line, it inherits a different set of permissions (i.e., root). One option would be to put a copy of the executable in another directory, but OUTSIDE of your DOCROOT, and give it the same ownership and perms as nobody (or whatever Apache runs as). Of course, this makes your script 100% non-portable, if that matters. It is also possible that the executable may not run, if it depends on compiled libraries elsewhere on the server.

What is easier [0-9] or \d or maybe [a-zA-Z] or [\w], ... ? Well, first of all the square brackets in [\w] aren't needed, \w already means 'any word character'. Secondly, [a-zA-Z] is not the same as \w: A word character is any letter or digit or the underscore character, that is, any character which can be part of a Perl word. The definition of letters and digits is controlled by PCRE's character tables, and may vary if locale-specific matching is taking place (see Locale support above). For example, in the fr (French) locale, some character codes greater than 128 are used for accented letters, and these are matched by \w.

Re: [PHP] What is ?=
? is how XML specifies a processing instruction for the XML parser, for example: ?xml version=1.0? Tells the parser that the XML it is parsing is version 1.

[PHP] Any performance experiences to offer?
Are there any benchmarks that people are aware of comparing PHP4|PHP5|PHP5.1 as far as performance is concerned? I mean, it's easy to say that performance is improved... but what's the baseline? Was PHP5 faster than PHP4 for identical code? Thus making PHP5.1 even faster? Or was it a case of PHP5 being a bit more bulky than PHP4, thus PHP5.1 bringing it more inline with the old performance. I'm looking to upgrade of PHP 4.4.1 installs, but I'm holding off on PHP5.1 until eaccelerator (open source PHP accelerator) becomes compatible. As it is, PHP5.0.5 is the last supported version. But if 5.0.5 is slower than 4.4.1, I'll hold off. Thanks in advance. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] array woes
Hello all,
I have some array code driving me nuts.
I am pulling from a db:
select id, vehicle, has_quotes from cars where active=1
I then loop through these and build an array that contains the id's and cars.
while($res){
$cars[$res[id]]=$res[vehicle];
//here is the problem, when has_quotes is 1, I call another function
to grab the quotes
if ($res[has_quotes]1){
$cars[$res[id]]=grabQuotes($res[id]);
}
}
The grabQuotes function returns an array and works fine. THe problem
is when I go to display these, I cycle through the car array printing
id and vehicle name. I do a check so if vehicle name is an array, I
print out the quotes from the inner array, problem is I have lost the
vehicle name! How can I fix this?

[PHP] Re: array woes
Within grabQuotes(); if you do a var_dump($arg); (where $arg is $res[id]) is
your vehicle name displayed? If it is, and you're using it correctly, make
sure you're returning the value you'd like correctly. It might help to post
your grabQuotes function as well as the code that displays $cars[].

while ($assoc = each($ls_statfields)) {

This should do what you want. I'm not sure if you want to remove the

Wow somehow I fixed the error, I don't really know how... oh well
Re: [PHP] Re: $_GET and $_POST arrays not working
Somewhat, but its what you need to do for the post and get arrays to work. What you need to do is make sure check the values in the global variables before you use them. For example if on one page you have a form for a user signup and input type=text name='userName' on the next page $_POST['userName'] should be checked for things like quotes and other characters that will alter your SQL statement before you actually INSERT that value into your table.

Re: [PHP] Passing objects between pages
I know the functions don't need to be copied. I would like to easily transport the objects (not the class) between pages using a form. I'm pretty sure the serialize() function can't be avoided (otherwise all that will be passed is a string with a value like Object ID: #55) but how can I get around the base64_encode() so the serialized object can be the value of a checkbox? $obj = new MyClass(); $obj = serialize($obj); $obj = base64_encode($obj); //I would like to eliminate this line input type=checkbox name='fieldName' value='$obj' So on the next page I have to decode and deserialize $obj = $_POST['fieldName']; $obj = base64_decode($obj); $obj = unserialize($obj); echo $obj-member; $obj-function(); Unknown Unknown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Well the functions won't need to be copied, but can't you put the properties into a MySQL or other database? Then on a page that you need the properties you pull them from the table?

There is an article about HTTP on Wikipedia.org and from there you find a link to RFC2616. So, if you have the skills/expertise in this area, and you're willing to talk to me for a few minutes, I'd appreciate it. As stated, the underlying reason for the questions is to get a better understanding of 'man in the middle attacks' as this applies to web server apps.

Re: [PHP] Re: $_GET and $_POST arrays not working
Well, I turned them off and it worked as it apparently should. It was just a setting I read I had to make for globals to work the first time I install PHP. I've made that change ever since. I've always wondered why these variables - which I consider really important, need to be turned on.

Tim Meader schrieb: Was PHP5 faster than PHP4 for identical code? Thus making PHP5.1 even faster? Or was it a case of PHP5 being a bit more bulky than PHP4, thus PHP5.1 bringing it more inline with the old performance. I'm looking to upgrade of PHP 4.4.1 installs, but I'm holding off on PHP5.1 until eaccelerator (open source PHP accelerator) becomes compatible. As it is, PHP5.0.5 is the last supported version. But if 5.0.5 is slower than 4.4.1, I'll hold off. That depends... For typical PHP4 applications (little to no class stuff) I've heard of benchmarks showing PHP5 to be slower than PHP4. These issues should be fixed with the 5.1 release. If you intend to make use of OOP features then PHP5 is not only faster but a lot of them simply aren't available with PHP4.
