Hi,
What you are doing is:
header(Content-Type: application/pdf);
And after that you try to echo some script. But the browser already
thinks that belongs to the PDF and not to a HTML page.
What I think should work instead of the script part is just:
header('Location: 3.html');
exit;
But I'm not sure it works.

RE: [PHP] PHP Runs But Does Not Display on Linux
Hi, I am assuming that once I install apache, (since now I am assuming that with a Linux box, I don't need to install PHP), then this would be a web server with a IP address. I could use something like ipconfig or ifconfig in my case to find the ip address, which I tried to use yum before to retrieve the information, but I still could not read anything from PHP. What I keep having trouble figuring out is, when I installed apache and try to get even something like ?php echo Hello; ? to show up on the page failed me with only a blank screen. But since you mentioned that I have to install another package, and I am assuming that I can download it from somewhere, this is something I can try. Where did you get your package from?

When you open the script from your browser are you accessing it via a server like Http://localhost/some/file.php or are you just opening a php file on your hard drive? I'm guessing you're accessing it on the hard drive directly, which will not work since PHP scripts are executed server side. So you will need to install apache2 with php.

I would do it this way so in case their were any problems generating the PDF, you would have a way to indicate that to the client. Rather then trying to force them to download a broken PDF document.

Alice, As others have mentioned thus far, having Apache is simply not enough. You can even try and configure it yourself via the .conf files, but it still won't properly process ?php ? tags. In fact, the reason you see absolutely nothing in their place is that ?php ? is a complete tag--though unrecognized--and Apache treats it as such. Since it doesn't know what to do with a ?php ? tag, it simply doesn't display anything when rendering the tag. Apache needs a module installed, such as libapache2-mod-php5 (in Debian, I believe) in order to parse PHP files and tags properly. There are .deb (Debian pacakage), .rpm (RedHat package), and plain ol' .tgz (GZipped Tar-ball) distributions of the PHP5 Apache2 module. Without this, there will be no bridge between Apache(2) and your PHP interpreter.

[PHP] unlink oddity

a database including the files it contains.
There is one line commented out.. The unlink command. Without the command,

Overwrite the old files when uploaded. If, however, I uncomment the unlink
line, the new files are still saved and the
if (file_exists($path)) { line evals to true, but the file disappears
after program
Execution. The net result of having the unlink command in seems to be that
it executes
after program termination leaving a record of the successful upload in the
database, but
no file found on the server where the upload occurred. Does anyone have any
idea of
why this would be occurring? The php docs for unlink do not talk about
delayed execution
and other scripts I researched seems to use unlink before the move command
with success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[PHP] PHP code will not work
Hi.
I am new to PHP. I found a tutorial that said to copy and paste the code
into a .php document and open it in my browser:
?php
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
?
I'm pretty sure PHP is enabled on my computer. I've tested code such as:
?php
//Function arguments
function writeMyName2($fname)
{
echo $fname . Refsnes.br /;
}
echo My name is ;
writeMyName2(Kai Jim);
echo My name is ;
writeMyName2(Hege);
echo My name is ;
writeMyName2(Stale);
?
which works fine.
The error I get when I try
?php
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
?
is
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/test.php on line 106
I tried Googling T_VARIABLE and haven't found any useful solutions.
Any ideas? Thanks!

isnt the complete file thats giving you troubles, because theres only one
line in it. whichever file is giving you troubles has a syntax error on
line 106.

Re: [PHP] a questoin about the # char
Inside a php script the '#' denotes the beginning of a comment. I don't know that it has any use at all in the address line. What specifically is the error? I'd guess that php would ignore the rest of the line following the '#' and so this could generate any number of errors depending on what information is carried in the address and what that info is for. I'm not aware of any way to scan the address within php, this might need to be done with a proxy of some kind. If it can be done or if you can talk to the owner of the site you're trying to get the file from, you might try replacing the '#' with a '%23'. -Allen Hello, I want to know what the # char does.

Re: [PHP] unlink oddity
function saveRecord ($db,$POST) {
$bd = /absolute_path_to_document_root;
$fp = /path_to_files_from_document_root/;
$ud = $bd . $fp;
snip
$path = $ud.$file; // absolute path to newly named file
if ($fail || !$name || !$temp) continue;
// @unlink($ud.$file);
@move_uploaded_file($temp, $path);
@chmod($path, 0777);
Why not just unlink($path) ? It's the same thing but you take 2
variables out of the problem.
While you're trying to debug this remove the '@' signs. An error message
will be particularly useful.
Check your logs if you can, otherwise turn up error reporting and
display errors until you work out what's going on.
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);

Several principles talks about classes and packages, such as: The classes in a package are reused together. If you reuse one of the classes in a package, you reuse them all. but few explains the difference between them. When I was summarizing the OO principles, that question confused me: http://phparch.cn/index.php/php/43-php-advanced-programming/170-principles- of-object-oriented-design Thanks in advance. :) A class is a syntactic way of grouping behavior and data together in an encapsulated fashion (at least that's the PHP definition). A formal package is a syntactic way of grouping related classes together, either for easier distribution, somewhat tighter coupling, or syntactic sugar. For instance, you could have 5 classes that make up your Database abstraction package; they're all discrete, but all work in concert. PHP does not have a syntactic package concept. The closest thing would be namespaces as implemented in PHP 5.3, but that's not out yet. Many systems emulate packages with verbose class naming (eg, Database_Connection, Database_Query, Database_Transaction, Database_Query_Select, etc.), but I personally find that ugly. :-) Thank you very much for the explanation. I think I got some. Maybe I am already using them: I am working on a sns site, and now my practice is grouping classes of a function (i.e. subscription) together. When I need it, just load the package: subscription. Right? ;) -- Regards, Shelley

My grandmother used to write letters starting with a capital letter, writing the whole letter as one long sentence and ending with a dot. This would perhaps confuse most high school teachers, but in her case it somehow worked :) If we take this worn out example - if you have a class dog and a class cat - it becomes quite clear why you need several classes. You can put them in a package called animals - but as other people already noted, the packages in php have only a symbolic role, just for clarity of code organization.

(2) Can PHP pass messages to message queue which external C program can access? Depends on the implementation of the queue, but the answer is almost certainly yes. I am not certain if the msg_send / msg_receive in PHP can talk to the external C program msg_send / msg_receive as PHP and external C program are in different processes, different memory spaces. Unless wrap the C functions in a PHP extension as your suggested in (1). (3) Socket connection between the PHP and external C program. This would usually be my preferred choice unless there is a particular reason to avoid this in which case I would go down the PHP extension route. A lot will depend on what the C code is doing and how your PHP scripts will interact with it. Let me first describe the requirement more: The C program is a major business server which accesses the database, exchanges information to other remote servers and it has many other background tasks running concurrently for doing monitor, statistic report, real time update data, etc. The PHP web application connects to the C program to get data and information and to display on user's web browser. I know socket works between the PHP and external C server, but there are many concerns depends on different implementations: (a) A simple way is if for every PHP request, it opens socket, sends a request and gets a response from the C server then closes the socket. It should work, but I am not sure: (i) if the open / close socket per request will cause delays and performance issues. (ii) What is the maximum number concurrent requests in a PHP web application? Will the maximum socket number / or port number (up to 2^16) be a bottleneck for large number of concurrent requests (hundred and thousands)? (b) If for all PHP requests share only one socket to connect to the external C server, I am not sure if the PHP is able to do multiplex responses for each request as the PHP is stateless. Thank you.
