Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean here. Let's say you were checking a db table for new rows. When a new row appeared, you'd break out of the loop and return the data to the page with the javascript that initiated the request (maybe you're PHP is returning JSON, XML, or an HTML fragment for the javascript to manipulate.) The javascript would update the page content and then initiate a new long-polling request and wait for new data. writing extension to php is also a very expensive way for me:( I agree with you. That's in part why I suggested that the extension wouldn't be needed or worthwhile in this case and basic PHP would be a reasonable solution. -- Nephtali: A simple, flexible, fast, and security-focused PHP framework http://nephtaliproject.com

One word of caution... While PHP can be used to implement long polling, bear in mind that PHP is fairly expensive in terms of resource usage per connection. Unless you're swimming in servers or only expecting a few concurrent connections at any one time, I'd recommend using something that holds multiple connections per process, rather than one process per connection. IMO, web-based PHP is not the right solution to this problem. You could write a select-based comet server in PHP, but it definitely wouldn't be in my top 10 language choices. I've just seen a later email in this thread that mentions that this is a chat-type system. Watch this and have your mind blown... http://vimeo.com/20605470 - at some point he describes how to write a pretty efficient chat server in PHP using ZeroMQ, but the whole thing is worth watching. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/

[PHP] SimpleXML - parsing attributes with a namespace
Hi,
Using following code does not parse the xml:id attribute. If I change the
attribute's namespace to anything other than xml ( e.g. new:id ) then it
works.
$string = XML
TEI xml:id=decten1tlsg01
teiHeader
profileDesc
particDesc
person xml:id=interviewerTlsg01 /person
/particDesc
/profileDesc
/teiHeader
/TEI
XML;
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
foreach($xml-teiHeader-profileDesc-particDesc-person[0]-attributes() as $a
= $b) {
echo p$a = $b \n/p;
}
Is this a bug? And how do I get this to work?
Many thanks,
Anthony

Offence, like all things, is in the eye of the beholder. If something
offends you, take responsibility for the fact that it's because someone is
challenging a belief that you don't want to be challenged so you're reacting
against it. It's not because it is objectively offensive. There is nothing
that is objectively offensive*.

Tedd's comment suggested that muslims are suicide bombers. That's not
a comment on religion, that's an insult to a large group of people.

And the vast majority of religious never have, nor never will detonate
in the name of religion. Yet they are being targeted and put to hate
just the same - then afterwards told to shut up and not feel offended.
He didn't imply that everyone who follows that religion would do
the same, but that's the only interpretation I can think of that would cause

Ahh, I see, that's why he wrote Praise Jesus and not Alaho Akbar -
he really didn't mean to say anything about muslims or islam as a

The fact that someone offends someone else is neither more nor less an
issue just because the offence is subjective. If I hold a certain
belief and you choose to stuff that down the toilet, you're a complete
dick, whether or not my belief makes sense.
And for the record, Tedd did not challenge any beliefs. He just made a
stupid joke at the expense of muslims.

That's correct. If it causes too much userland confusion, we
can
alias it as detonate() as well.
Yes, to be preceded with:
echo('Alaho Akbar');
Nice ... any idea how many people you just insulted there?
I'm guessing no one with an actual sense of humor.
I suspect most people snickered at the joke and admired the chutzpah
it
took to post it.
Admiring people that insult an entire religion? Really, it does not take
chutzpah, it just takes ignorance or stupidity to do something like
that.
Nothing admirable about it.
There's everything admirable about it. Religion is not special, and does
not
deserve any special treatment when it comes to critical comment. I can
say
anything I want about a particular political party and that's ok, but I
can't express an opinion about a particular religion because it may cause
offence?
Tedd's comment suggested that muslims are suicide bombers. That's not
a comment on religion, that's an insult to a large group of people.
Learn to tell the difference.
I think you need to read it again. He said those who detonate would say
that, not the other way around.
And that's not to mention the fact that tedd's comment is a fact - more
than
a few people have detonated in the name of their religion, and chances
are
that if someone does detonate themselves it will be in the name of their
religion.
And the vast majority of religious never have, nor never will detonate
in the name of religion. Yet they are being targeted and put to hate
just the same - then afterwards told to shut up and not feel offended.
You've just expanded the scope way beyond where it was. Religions don't
detonate anything, people do, whether they do it because their religion
encourages violence against non-believers or not. My point was and is
limited to a) my interpretation of tedd's comment did not extend to it being
a comment on a whole religion, and b) what you find offensive is not
objectively offensive.
He didn't imply that everyone who follows that religion would do
the same, but that's the only interpretation I can think of that would
cause
offence, so surely the offence is in the interpretation not the actual
words.
Ahh, I see, that's why he wrote Praise Jesus and not Alaho Akbar -
he really didn't mean to say anything about muslims or islam as a
whole, he only wanted to comment on religion in an abstract way.
I never said his comment wasn't related to a particular religion, just that
it didn't appear to me to be a comment on the religion so much as on those
who detonate themselves in the name of that religion.
Offence, like all things, is in the eye of the beholder. If something
offends you, take responsibility for the fact that it's because someone
is
challenging a belief that you don't want to be challenged so you're
reacting
against it. It's not because it is objectively offensive. There is
nothing
that is objectively offensive*.
The fact that someone offends someone else is neither more nor less an
issue just because the offence is subjective. If I hold a certain
belief and you choose to stuff that down the toilet, you're a complete
dick, whether or not my belief makes sense.
And this is where we disagree. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and
they're also entitled to express that opinion, whether through humour or
simple statement. Tedd did not aim his comment at anyone in particular. He
didn't imply that anyone was guilty of anything they haven't done, or that
they hold beliefs they don't. He made a joke based on the fact that people
have detonated themselves in the name of their religion, specifically
muslims in this case, probably because it's topical. He could easily have
chosen other examples, but it wouldn't have been as humorous.
And for the record, Tedd did not challenge any beliefs. He just made a
stupid joke at the expense of muslims.
All humour is at the expense of something, but why can I make a joke about
the clothes you choose to wear and get a laugh, but make a joke about your
religion and I've committed a crime? And that aside, I repeat that tedd did
not say anything about the religion, he simply referenced factual events.
* Nothing is objectively

[PHP] Odd Apache2/PHP Problem
I am having a really odd Apache2/PHP problem. My employer set up a new Web server to migrate our Web sites to. One site requires a log in and I have the ability to log in a someone else. However, when I do this, Apache throws a Segmentation fault error. It's happening when it tries to get user information from the database of the user I'm logged in as. The data is stored in a FoxPro database and is retrieved through ODBC. What is really odd is that the same functions work fine until I log in as someone. All this does is swap my id with the person I'm logging in as in the session variable. I have no idea why this is happening. So, I'm hoping someone may have some ideas or point in the right direction to find answers. Thanks!

Stephen,
This doesn't quite work how you're expecting it to.
If you have a php script that emits a 500 server error header, *you*
have to supply the document contents. Thus:
?php
header('HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error');
include('/path/to/error_docs/500.html');
?
Will get you what you want.

I think you'll do anything to avoid facing the fact that you might
indeed have done some morally wrong. Or maybe I don't. It doesn't
matter - the question is whether or not you actually insulted a large
group of people by suggesting that detonate() should be prefixed with
echo Alaho akbar;
That's Okay, but the problem with politically correctness is that it often

We agree here, but unfortunately for you that's not the point being discussed.
Unfortunately, the inconvenient truth is that phrase *IS* being spoken

God. If anyone should be insulted, it should be those families who's that

Do you feel better knowing you may have insulted even more people?
Does that thought even occur to you?
My stupid little joke has no meaning in the overall scheme of things as does
your righteous indignation -- so, with all due respect, blow it out your

No, see, there's the problem. Your stupid little joke just makes it a
little bit harder to actually cross the gap between the different
cultures. And while that may be fine for you, I'd prefer actually
being able to speak to people from other cultures about the problems
we face. Having someone suggest that bombs go Alaho akbar before
they detonate don't help in any way, as that just promotes two
stereotypes: that suicide bombers are muslims, and that westerners are
stupid jerks that think all muslims are terrorists.
Anyway, I won't bother you with my political correctness any more -
the list has reached a too high noise-and-bs-to-signal ratio for me.
