Hello Michelle,
Hm. link rel=alternate... that's a good one, thanks (btw, you say me
that I should RTFM, but if I knew what to read).
Now there are two questions:
1. How do I do those .RSS files with PHP? All of mmy blog entries and
other stuff are in MySql. There are classes that can echo the
appropriate data as RSS, but there will be more .PHP files, not
.RSS/.XML ones. So how do we manage that?
2. Should I make a separate .RSS file for each type of feeds (blog
feed, comments feed, timeline feed, news feed)?
thanks!
Andre...
What I did when I created my RSS feed is I went and read the RSS spec
and found out what it needed to create it.[1]
Read through that and it should get you started. If your competent
with PHP then all you would need to do is loop through your result set
to display the results.
If you're not quite sure if you know how to do it though... I as well
as many other people on the list I'm sure are available to hire to get
it done :)

Hi all, could someone show me how to echo back a constant to check if
they are assigned correctly? Something like this:
define('SITE_ROOT', dirname(dirname(__FILE__)));
echo 'SITE_ROOT';
I tried the echo but it wasn't working.

Hi gang:
The server global:
$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']
Provides the IP of the server where the current script is executing.
And, the server global:
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
Provides the IP of the server executing the script.
As such, you can enter the IP of either into a browser and see that
specific domain.
However, that doesn't work when you are dealing with shared hosting.
Doing that will show you to the parent domain, but not the child
domain (i.e., alias).
So, how can I identify the exact location of the 'server_addr' and of
the 'remote_addr' on shared hosting? Is that possible?
Thanks,
Cheers,
tedd

If my server is 192.168.29.104 and my client is 192.168.29.114, I might get the default website on the server address, and nothing on the client (assuming it is not running a webserver).

Hence, the local host already knows the name and has no reason to ask the remote host for a name by which to contact it. That's what I get from your description of the problem. You probably want to clarify some things.

Thanks Daniel, that was it. I also want to apologize to the list, I
completely forgot about the php manual. Don't ask me how. Maybe old age

[PHP] array_walk_recursive pass by reference
i have an array
$parms = array('1' = 'a', 'b' = array(3 = 'test'));
i want $mail = '1:a 3:test';
array_walk_recursive($parms, function($val, $key, $mail) {
$mail .= ucwords($key) . ': '. ucwords($val) . \n;
}, $mail);
The above function worked perfectly well
but i am getting: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in
/var/www/html/test.php on line 31
if i change it to
array_walk_recursive($parms, function($val, $key, $mail) {
$mail .= ucwords($key) . ': '. ucwords($val) . \n;
}, $mail);
i am not getting the error but $mail is not being returned.
ny solution ?

Cheers, tedd I really don't understand what you mean by remote script -- most requests are made by clients. REMOTE_ADDR is the IP address of the *client* - i.e. the requesting system. It may or may not be a script. And it may or may not have an accessible hostname. Is this a situation where you are establishing a service that is to be called by other servers, i.e, some form of API? If not, and if it is a case of a browser client calling a PHP script on your server, most browser clients aren't running on very useful hostnames for the outside world anyway. E.g. the hostname of my mac is paladin.local but it obviously can't be called by the outside world by that name. Maybe tell us what you are trying to accomplish by knowing the hostname of the calling machine? Maybe there's another way. Are you trying to set up two-way communication between the two servers? Normally, communication is established without regard for the calling machine's hostname, because it's going through the connection established by the web server. PHP just returns info along that connection to the calling machine. It seems you would only need to know the requesting system's hostname if you were going to establish some other channel of communication with it, i.e., if your original script was somehow going to call back the calling machine, webbytedd.com to do some other kind of activity. If that *is* what you're doing, I can probably guarantee there's a better way to do it. However, if what you're after is *authenticating* that the requester is who they say they are, there are ways to do that as well without knowing the requesting host's name (and better than knowing the requesting host's name, you can establish authenticity and access control for a particular script which is much better than just establishing blanket authority for a particular hostname). However, I'm really reaching here with trying to understand what you want to accomplish by knowing the requesting machine's hostname. So, please, explain what you are trying to do and maybe we can help with that. Tamara -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
