Yes. Write a daemon which listens on a socket and manages the communications it gets from the satellite scripts and works the database for them... The scripts send off data, and process replies.

I really don't want the chat server to have to wait until after the database processing is done to go intercept and process another request--this just doesn't seem right. I want the chat server process to be able to deal with getting and receiving messages, and another process to deal with the database processing.

[PHP] fsockopen, and remaining data in buffer
Hello Guys! I'm having troubles with not knowing the amount of data which is waiting to be received in the buffer for a specific socket I can use fsockopen, establish a connection, and write to the socket, I can read from the socket just fine as well. The trouble I'm running into is illustrated in this example Eg: Open a socket to an ftp site (port 21). I can expect a banner from EG: the ftp server, but this is not always the case. if there is a EG: banner it is usually only one line, but this is not always the case. EG: I can then fputs($fp, 'user anonymous'.chr(10)); After that fputs I EG: can expect one line to be in the buffer. I then fputs($fp, 'pass EG: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'.chr(10)); There can then be anything from 0 to EG: (lots) of bytes in the buffer, spanning multiple lines. I want to be able to pull all of the waiting information out of the socket, process it, and then proceed - not knowing the amount of data to expect. A while( $data=fgets($fp, ) ) works, but either a) hangs when there is no more data to receive, or b) times the socket out when a socket timeout on the file pointer is used, or c) is VERY unreliable when the socket is set to non-blocking mode. I've tried using $var=socket_get_status($fp), but then $var['unread_bytes'] is always 0 or null... Am I missing something? The development server is running slackware 8, kernel 2.4.18, apache-1.3.24, and php 4.2 I'll send sample code if asked, Thanks in advance for the help! - -- Demitrious S.

1) That function isn't correct.
2) It's slow.
3) You still would have to call it once for each year in the range in
order to figure out how many intervening leap years there are, and you'd
have to check whether the dates in question fell before or after Feb 29.
Much easier to just calculate the difference of days, months, and years.
BTW, off the top of my head (untested), here's a more accurate (and a
million times faster) way to check for a leap year:
function is_leap ($year)
{
return (!($year % 4) (($year % 100) || !($year % 400)));
}

Like I said, if it crosses through a leap year, your calculation may
be
off. How many days are there in February when you don't know what year

Well, I think the easiest way is going to be to split your date
apart
into
$day, $month, $year and then subtract.
You can't just do a cascading modulus calculation on the delta
between
the

Well, I don't thinik this will work. Because I will recieve an

number of data. The number of PH10 I would get would be either 1 or 2
or
126, etc. There is no way to determine the number, so I already create
an
counter to tell me how many of them. So, that leave me with an need to
create an array to unlimited number of PH10 without overwritting the
current
PH10. Here's my demo.
TU4R = TU4R is 0
PH10 = PH10 is 0
PH10 = PH10 is 1
PH10 = PH10 is 2
Can anyone write a multidimentional array demostration to handle
this

See, Scott.. It is all about your logic.
For instance, you can create a nice multidimentional array like this:
Array(
'0'=Array(
'data'=Array( // your whole data array
data
data
data
),
'parameters'=Array( // the settings rlative to data array
'count'='256',
'type_of_data'='strings',
'came_from_DB'='PostgreSQL',
'came_from_table'='thisTable'
'etc'='bla...bla..bla..'
)
),
'1'=Array(
'data'=Array( // your whole data array
data
data
data
),
'parameters'=Array( // the settings rlative to data array
'count'='258',
'type_of_data'='integers',
'came_from_DB'='mySQL',
'came_from_table'='thatTable'
'etc'='bla...bla..bla..'
)
),
... etcetc...etc...
);
in this way you can loop the whole thing, access the data by refering
to
the
'data' subarray and then get the parameters (counts, types whatever
you
want) by accessing 'parameters' subarray containing the relative
settings
for that very array.
As I said in the very first line - all up to your logic and the
organization
rules within the code.
Hope it is of any help to you.

Yup. ;) Give http://www.php.net/mysql_fetch_array a thorough beating.
The function returns the results both in associatively-indexed elements
and in indexed ones, so you get each one twice. Try the following and it
should become clearer:
$result = mysql_query($sql, $dbh);
// Try both of the following lines and notice the difference.
//$day = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$day = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);
foreach ($day as $colname = $value) {
echo Column name: $colname; Value: $value\n;

Subject: [PHP] mail() function returns TRUE but no email is sent
Anyone run into this problem before? I've got a simple email parser
that I've set up for our clients to access from their websites. It just
uses the simple mail() function to send the parsed HTML to their
account. The mail() function is returning TRUE but the email no email
is being received. How does the mail() function check if the email has
actually been sent? Is it possible that the mail() function could be
given the proper signals to return TRUE but then the server not send the
email?

RE: [PHP] building a control panel in php
I agree. Unless there isn't a product which matches your needs I personally would consider my time better spent contributing to a project that has only a short distance left to go rather then starting a new project which would take months/years before perfection (if there is such a thing) Onto my opinions of the technical aspects of creating a control panel in php... there are two ideas (that I see looming obvious on the horizon)... Both of these ideas deal with permissions. To be a truly effective 'system control panel' it would be necessary to have root priv's to accomplish tasks... the fact that apache runs as a specific non-root user (and if it doesn't it d#%!#$^mned well should!) is a drawback... Webmin circumvents this project by incorporating its own http/https server which runs on an assigned port (idea 1). Otherwise it may be possible to use a php front-end-script which modifies a text file, mysql, or some other form of database, and either a daemon script running as root or a single pass script running as a cron job... this process would interpret information in the data file and act accordingly on the server. PHP is a wonderful lang. in my experience, and it's becoming more advanced by the second. I don't think the problem would be the lang. itself but the time invested in learning it and implementing it... So I guess it boils down to these questions: 1) do you NEED to do it? 2) do you want to do it? 3) are you willing to invest in yourself to get it done? From my experience creating these types of things tends to be a thankless job right up until the end :) stick in there and it's possible... -Original Message- From: Miguel Cruz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 5:49 PM To: Paul ...

Subject: [PHP] Scope problem in while loop
According to the PHP 4 docs all variables are global unless within a
function. I've got the following test code which should output 2, but
outputs 1. The while loop creates it's own class object (which seems
strange
since it isn't explicitly instantiated by my code; I would think it
would
cause errors).
The reason I created an object for my variable (actually, I started
testing
with regular strings) is that I've had similar scoping problems in perl,
where variables got out of scope within loops (or even if statements).
In
perl, declaring an object outside these structures will protect it's
scope.
Not so in PHP I see.
Can anyone explain this behavior? Do I have to create functions that
return
values every time I need a loop that modifies a variable?
?php
class Ccust_data {
function Cform_data() {
$this-test = ;
}
}
$o = new Ccust_data();
$o-test = 1;
while ($y = 0) {
global $o-test;
$o-test = 2;
$y = 1;
}
echo \$o-test = $o-test\n;

You haven't given anyone any specifics... nor a link to a phps, so I
cannot be any more specific with my advice
You could probably get away with looking through each of the elements in
the array and using something like
if ( substr($element, 0, 1) == $letter ( {
Stuff();

at least that's how I would go about it if I wanted a quick fix...

Subject: [PHP] OOP .. I just don't get it.
Hi
I've been using php for a while now but I have not got my head around
OOP
(classes).
Why bother using them? I've read thru a few tutorials on using classes
and
the examples given are quite simple. This is probably the problem - I
just
can't see the benefit of using this style of programming.
Here is what I'm getting at.
USING A CLASS-
class Table {
var $rows;
var $columns;
function MakeTable() {
draw a table with $this-columns as the number of columns
and $this-rows as the number of rows
}
}
$mytable = new Table;
$mytable-rows = 5;
$mytable-columns = 10;
$mytable-MakeTable();
---USING A NORMAL FUNCTION-
function MakeTable($rows,$columns) {
make a table with $rows as the number of rows
and $columns as the number of columns
}
$rows = 5;
$columns = 10;
MakeTable($rows,$columns);
---
Using a class doesn't appear to give me any benefits - in fact the code
is
longer.
I know that you can spawn more instances of the same class which sounds
useful, however I can also run my function as many times as I like using
different variables.
What am I missing here?
Thanks
Mojo

Stupid question for everyone... i'm just having one of those braindead
moments.
I have a page which allows users to add custom headers and footers in
HTML.
(i.e. Fill in a text area with a bunch of html, and that's stored in a
mysql
database and retrived when that user logs in again).
The problem i'm having is this:
When a users fills in all the info, and hits submit, they are taken to
a
preview page which renders everything and has an accept button.
If i try to store the header and footer data in a hidden input it just
renders it on the screen (if it's more than one line it gets even
worse).
How can i get this info (variable w/ strings that are QUITE long, and
include quotes and apostrophes) from the form they are entered on,
into
a
preview page, then back into the script to be written into the
database?
I have thought about sessions, and they work until the user decides
they
dont like the way it turned out and try to discard and change it, even
after
re-registering the variables in the session, they do not change to the
new
input.
I hope someone out there can make sence of what i have said... because
i
think i confused even myself ;)

RE: [PHP] How many files can be in one directory?
Yes and no. The directory would use an inode, but splitting the stores into separate directories would help drastically improve cpu and memory utilization when working with large numbers of files (10's of thousands) Right or wrong that's what I have to say -Original Message- From: Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 2:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] How many files can be in one directory? So this means, that I can not increas the amount by splitting the files into more than 1 directory? In fact it would make it even less, because dirs also need those i-nods, right?

Perhaps it might end in a problem after having 3 files in the same dir? Performance issues ore something else. The limit depends on how many inodes you have on the filesystem this dir resides on. This is a parameter when first mke3fs was ran to create the fs. Usually you'll have 1 i-node every 4096 bytes and you need 1 inode per file. So do your calculations depending on the size of your partition. cheers, thalis Has anybody got experiance on that?

Subject: [PHP] Variables containing HTML?
Stupid question for everyone... i'm just having one of those braindead
moments.
I have a page which allows users to add custom headers and footers in
HTML.
(i.e. Fill in a text area with a bunch of html, and that's stored in a
mysql
database and retrived when that user logs in again).
The problem i'm having is this:
When a users fills in all the info, and hits submit, they are taken to a
preview page which renders everything and has an accept button.
If i try to store the header and footer data in a hidden input it just
renders it on the screen (if it's more than one line it gets even
worse).
How can i get this info (variable w/ strings that are QUITE long, and
include quotes and apostrophes) from the form they are entered on, into
a
preview page, then back into the script to be written into the database?
I have thought about sessions, and they work until the user decides they
dont like the way it turned out and try to discard and change it, even
after
re-registering the variables in the session, they do not change to the
new
input.
I hope someone out there can make sence of what i have said... because i
think i confused even myself ;)
Thanks for any help!

RE: [PHP] Variables containing HTML?
It breaks the individual characters down into their ascii equivalent,
and makes it one big 'numerical' string... then breaks the string back
into separate values and translates each value back into a character,
then recreates the string from the characters...
I got sick of slashing and un slashing and validating, and revalidating,
etc, etc, etc, etc so I made this. Which makes things 1000% simpler
