Searched Google for possible solutions but I just want to know what other developers use. AJAX and GPL is a must. Strange requirements, but whatever. A shoutbox is pretty rare on anything except sites aimed at teenagers so I'm not surprised you haven't had many people jump in and tell you what they're using, because they're not. If this is for chatting with the site admin you may want to look into one of the live support options rather than a shoutbox. They're private (although I'm sure some have a public option) and they will provide a much better system for the admin to track multiple conversations. I really think a shoutbox is the wrong solution for this particular problem. -Stuart -- http://3ft9.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] this has got me baffled: imagesx() andimagesy()reporting the wrong size?
Indeed. Using ImageMagick's 'identify' command, the first layer is 30x24 on a 32x32 canvas. radioactive-bread-eek.gif[0] GIF 30x24 32x32+2+6 8-bit PseudoClass 256c 2.11kb radioactive-bread-eek.gif[1] GIF 32x27 32x32+0+4 8-bit PseudoClass 256c 2.11kb If getimagesize() works on the canvas, then you might want to use that, instead. gd and gifs don't really have a steady relationship, anyway. Ashley Sheridan wrote: It does indeed seem to be some sort of bug. I've just tested it with your image on my machine here and for imagesx() and imagesy() it gives 30 and 24 respectively. getimagesize() does return the correct dimensions though. The same image saved as a flat single layer gif from the Gimp behaves exactly the same way. This might not be a proper bug as such, as the image itself might be 32x32, but the first layer (the first frame in the animated version) is 30x24 when you remove the dead, unused, transparent background. Perhaps GD is meant to report on the *actual* size of the image, rather than the dimensions of the frame?

RE: [PHP] Lightweight web server for Windows?
Out of curiosity, if this is just for coding, and you're already a Linux guy, why not just install a lightweight linux flavor on the laptop instead of WF/XP? http://www.xfce.org/ http://lightlinux.blogspot.com/2008/06/top-10-of-lightweight-linux_24.html You didn't mention the specs, but any computer of the past few years is pretty powerful. I used to rock a Dell i8200 (P4/1GB) and XP with a VMWare workstation of Gentoo. SAMBA mount it and use NAT and it works awesome. So you could try that. http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ and there are a ton of pre-built VMs to download there http://www.vmware.com/appliances/.

[PHP] [php] [mysql] select and subselect
I have a page on my site where I can optionaly filter by certain fields
(order by filesize or file category), but I am implementing a shopping cart
type of idea where users can submit an order.
As administrators, my coworkers and I need to be able to filter orders by
their contents. For example:
View all orders for Jack and the Beanstalk, where an order may have Jack
and the Beanstalk and other items.
I have an order table that keeps track of the order_id, the date, the
status, etc. I also have an order_lineitem table that is the contents of the
order. This has a one-to-many structure (without foreign keys because it is
mysql).
I was baffled as to how to filter the orders by the item_id that appears in
the order_lineitem table.
I just came up with this, but I'm not sure how the mysql_queries will handle
an array. Do I have to do some extensive regular expression management here
to get this to work, or will it accept an array?
?php
if (isset($_POST['showid']))
$showid = $_POST['showid'];
$subSQL = SELECT order_id FROM afy_show_lineitem WHERE show_id =
{$_POST['showid']};;
$subResult = mysql_query($subSQL);
$where = WHERE;
$extQuery = 'order_id = {$subResult}';
}
$resultOrders = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM afy_order {$where} {$extQuery};)
or die(mysql_error(Could not query the database!));

[PHP] How to make the PHP know the real SCRIPT_FILENAME?
I am trying to use PHP as backend, which communicate with apache-2.3's mod_proxy_fcgi But I have noticed that the SCRIPT_FILENAME has been changed to proxy:balancer://xx, it cann't be recognized by the remote PHP backend. So the request failed. In my opinion, the remote PHP backend use the SCRIPT_FILENAME to find the script file. But the PHP and the Apache may be in different computer, so the Document Root may be different. is that means the PHP shouldn't rely on the SCRIPT_FILENAME? how can I configure the PHP to know the real script file to execute?
