Yes the logging is just one simple insert into the database.
Does your database support some form of INSERT DELAYED ?
Like MySQL does: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/insert-delayed.html

I will bet you money that there are far better places to optimize your
application than moving a single SQL insert to after the final output.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. -- Thomas

Well,

Not saying that this is the same thing... b/c if you push a restart

Maybe I'm being dense, but why not set it to what you want it to be?
Clearing it is leaving the decision up to the browser which will not
necessarily have the effect you want for all users.
Incidentally, it might not be possible if Apache is setting it. Not sure
if PHP has the ability to override headers being sent by Apache.
The two have different effects. The Expires: header proclaims that the
page is good for x hours/minutes/days etc. Whereas the browser can use
the Last-Modified header to figure the staleness for itself. If its
newer than the copy it has, it needs to download the newer copy.

[PHP] Different size of file on server and on output
Hello to everybody, I have this problem with downloading files via PHP. For illustration - I am using this fragment of code: ?php header(Content-type: $contenttype; name=\$outputfilename\); header(Content-disposition: form-data; filename=\$outputfilename\); $fp=fopen($filename,'r'); while (!FEof($fp)): $filedata.=fread($fp,8192); endwhile; fclose($fp); echo $filedata; ? The problem is, that the file on server has 16857 bytes and saved file has 16858. In another case downloaded file has everytime 1 byte more than the original file on server. When I put JPEG or ZIP forexample to output, there is no problem with opening file like this. Bud when I am trying .docx (Office2007 file format) it occures mistake during opening this file in MSOffice... Can anybody helps me with this problem? Why is the file size increasing one byte?

Re: [PHP] Is it possible to restart Windows Apache (service) on a PHP script?
You could try using exec to set up an AT job with a short delay which will
then run 'net apache restart' - I'm not a total windows guru so I can't give you
the exact recipe...
Something like exec('AT 12:00 net apache restart');
Check the documentation on the AT command...
One possible extra advantage is that you could cancel the 'AT' job during the
delay period if you clicked restart by accident :)

Not sure if this would help or not but when ever I've done anything
with $_POST variables or other array variables I have to specify it
like $_POST['option'] notice the ' in around the word 'option'
Hope it helps!

Turn notices on. You will then get lots of notices about the use of an
undefined constant option.
You should be using $_POST['option'] instead - notice the quotes.
Your HTML should really have double quotes around the attributes but
that's beyond the scope of this list.

A couple changes:
echo you selected: br;
// Check to see that the value exists. If no options are checked, this
will be false.
if (array_key_exists('option', $_POST)) {
// include the quotes as already mentioned
foreach ($_POST['option'] as $a)
{
echo $a;

} else {
echo 'nothing';

He's still going to get an invalid argument warning though since PHP
will automatically convert the unquoted key to a string and then look up
the value. The problem is that the value doesn't exist or is not an
array as expected.

Yeah, thats the problem I'm having for some reason. When I do:
print_r($_POST['option']);
it prints nothing.

Good point. Has the OP checked any of the boxes? If not then that array
will not exist in $_POST.

Re: [PHP] problem with foreach
Also, AFAIK, PHP has always thrown a warning or notice if you use foreach() on a non-associative array. That doesn't mean it won't work, but the strict standard is apparently: foreach ($assoc as $key = $val) not foreach ($indexed as $item) However, as we all know, the latter still works fine. Despite the warning/notice you see, the code is probably still working as expected (any other problems aside). If you like to keep error reporting on, you can just use an @ to suppress that error. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Is it possible to restart Windows Apache (service) on a PHP script?
What we do is setup 'sudo' to run certain commands (or a shell/ruby script for example), then have PHP/Apache exec() the script via sudo (or use a DBUS call to a 'root' enabled ruby daemon), which then restarts apache or whatever we want. Be VERY careful with the way you do this or you can give crackers all kinds of ways to cause you pain. For example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# cat /etc/sudoers Cmnd_Alias CHMOD = /bin/chmod Cmnd_Alias REBOOT = /sbin/reboot, /sbin/shutdown rootALL=(ALL) ALL www-dataALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/date, /sbin/hwclock, REBOOT, /usr/bin/dpkg, /usr/sbin/chpasswd, /usr/bin/passwd, /usr/sbin/srvwatch, /usr/sbin/srvtalk Then in the PHP web page: exec(/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/reboot); D.Vin Voice or no voice, the people can alway be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them that they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for a lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

DOH!. I'm sorry I didn't read the fact that this was on Windows. My bad... Um. Out of curiosity, why would you run LAMP as WAMP? It just seems so wrong. Not to start an OS religion war, I use XP all day long, but I would never use it as my dedicated web server -- that's why God invented Unix/Linux. Best tool for the job and all that stuff...

[PHP] Thoughts on multiple servers
At current stage I have two servers installed, whereby the first one does all, but the second is a database server. I need to install on different location a server pair, which should work together, fail-fall-over, ... The idea is to have in the dns for the servers: abc.example.com == general term tw.abc.example.com== redirected to, if the user is closer to Taiwan de.abc.example.com== redirected to, if the user is closer to Germany abc will be in my office (10Mbps), tw.abc de.abc are server co-location with each 150 Mbps. The database server is connected to the web server via second Ethernet port and a private IP (192.168.x.x) via cross over cable. The other ethernet port of the web server is connected to the Internet (either through another ADSL, like at my office) or to like the web server directly to the Internet HUB. The mySQL servers should be set-up as a cluster server and should work together within a VPN. Questions: 1. Any hints on above configuration? 2. Has anybody experience with a cluster mysql? 3. How to get the web servers working with the closest connection (according to the users IP) ? 4. How do I get info about the users IP (within the web server) to provide startup settings, like Time zone so time of the user, language, country, ... ? 5. How to make it fail-fall-over if one of the server (web and/or database server!) is not working?
