You missed the point. If you have to connect to a server anyway, whjat's the difference between going to a cached queryset on a CF server or going to a cached queryset on a db server? It's a wire transaction in any case. Plus, you have a granular control on what is being cached. The sql server will only cache what it has room for. So if enough queries are run against it, the original query won't be cached anymore regardless. And this won;t happen on the CF server when you run out of memory to cache a transaction? Yeah, right. Does CF have to query the db server to stay in sync? Of course it does. Now there's multiple transactions to coordinate synchronize.

RE: [PHP] Re: File Random Access
-Original Message- From: David Robley [mailto:robleyd;paradise.net.nz] I'm going to stick my neck out here - as I understand it, this is not an omission in php, rather it is a restriction of the underlying OS/file system. Extends neck more To the best of my knowledge, neither the FAT based system of M$DOS or e2fs under *nix will allow random access _to the contents of a specific file_ without the need to read/rewrite the entire file. Is there in fact any file system that allows this? All of the file systems I have ever worked with over the last 25 years allow random read/writes (via calls similar to fseek() ); however, random writes involve fixed-length blocks if you want to re-write in place. PHPs fseek() will allow you to do random read/writes on fixed length blocks just like the underlying C call. Variable length blocks (say, those ending in random new lines) are by definition non-deterministic; therefore re-writes in place are impossible without OS help in inter-block jumps/relinks and the subsequent waste of file space.

RE: [PHP] Re: Image resolution and php
Images don't have a resolution per se; display devices have a resolution. Images (the formats you're talking about, anyway) are measured in pixel width and height. The height and width in any units other than pixels of course necessitates conversion - for an easy example, a 300x300 image on a 1200x1200dpi printer will be exactly one quarter the size of the same image printed on a 300x300 dpi printer. -Original Message- From: Jome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 8:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: Image resolution and php I need to get resolution information (dpi) from any image of jpg, gif or png formats.

Then check the MySQL manual using the URL I posted! PHP doesn't care about the hundred or so reserved MySQL words. MySQL does. Perhaps you're confusing the two. Please check what I said: PHP != MySQL The documentation for each is separate. PHP has convenience functions for talking to a MySQL database. It does not parse or check your SQL statements for correctness - it just passes them along and lets the MySQL library do its work. PHP does this for a great number of products: cURL, GD functions, various ODBC interfaces, etc. It's up to you to read the support docs for those products to use them fully.

RE: [PHP] is there a function like javascript's window.open in PHP
This is a common question, related to the lack of understanding of client/server architectures I believe. PHP is all server side - a browser is all client side. Servers can send data only to the browser, nothing else. The server can inquire and gather data from text files and databases, but it will format the data into a particular protocol (HTTP most often) and send it to the browser. The data may even include lines of text from a language that the browser understands, like JavaScript. Or it might be XML data and the corresponding XSLT instructions. But ... it can't affect the browser directly. Only the embedded instructions that the browser understands can actually affect anything on the browser. The browser looks at the stream of data provided by the server and decides on-the-fly what to do with it. If it sees JavaScript instructions, it may decide to interpret them and do some particular action. Or it may decide that it doesn't want to play with JavaScript today and just ignore them. It may see the XML/XSLT and decide to do something - but it doesn't have to. This, of couse, is the bane of Web programmers everywhere. What does the browser understand, and what does it do with the data. PHP allows us to write programs eaisy on the server to make some decisions on what to send a browser, but it cannot act directly on the browser. We must depend (somehow) on the browser interpreting what we tell it and then acting in a particular way. -Original Message- From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2002 12:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] is there a function like javascript's window.open in PHP On Sunday 23 June 2002 07:21, Burak Delice wrote: hi, I wonder that is there a PHP function like window.open() into Javascript?
