[PHP] Can't Install on Mac OS X
Hi Everyone, In the past I have setup many Mac OS X web servers successfully. Now I'm trying to setup another OS X web server, but PHP will not work. I'm having massive problems getting PHP to make, and I'm all out of ideas. After I configure PHP (./configure), and try to make it, I get these errors: make[1]: *** [php] Error 1 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 I've tried an alternative way of installing from Marc Liyanage's web site, http://www.entropy.ch/ which was very easy to follow, but it absolutely will not allow me to view any PHP pages through Apache. PHP prints out the following error instead: Warning: Failed opening '/Library/WebServer/Documents/test.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0 As you can see, the file's name is test.php, but you should know it has absolutely NO PHP code in it. It's contents are: html body Why don't I work? /body /html Anyone have any ideas? If anyone is willing, could they download the latest source of PHP and try to configure and make it (don't bother make install-ing it...) If you have any success with it, let me know. Thanks in advance! -- -- Brandon Pearcy Internet Technician Bowes Online -- phone: 1-780-532-1110 ext. 265 fax: 1-780-532-2120 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] Postal / Zip Code Proximity Search
Hello, I have a couple of questions with respect to creating a postal / zip code proximity search that is remotely accurate. The system I am using now is OK for small distances, but is terrible at calculating large distances. What I have is a database of establishments and their corresponding latitudes and longitudes, and I need to have users enter their own postal / zip code, and have the system calculate which establishments fall into a set range ($range) from their location. Not only does it need to find the establishments, it needs to calculate the distances (straight line, of course). Now, I have dug through the PHP archives, but there is no single clear explanation of how to do this, from beginning to end. I will start by putting down what I need, and then maybe other people can contribute to this and in the end we will have the solution, nice and tidy, in one place. *** NOTE: I know doing this in PHP will be SLOW, but I do not want to write a MySQL user-defined function and recompile it and blah, blah, blah... (unless someone wants to cover that aspect!!! :D) Step 1: Take the postal / zip code that the user entered, and search the national postal / zip code database (which I already have) and return its corresponding latitude and longitude ($userLat and $userLong). Step 2: ??? Step 3: Return the establishments information to the user, complete with the distances to them, ordered by smallest distance to largest. If you can't help me out, maybe you can direct me to some online tutorials on this topic!
