[PHP] php-cli - Controlling external programs
I'm writing a script to be run from the command line. It controls my DAT autoloader (tape changer) and runs tar so that I can automate my backups. With the -M option, tar will prompt for a new tape when the current tape is full. How can I get the signal from tar that the tape needs to be changed? Is there another way to interact with external programs other than, exec, backticks, etc.? I'm running 4.3.2-cli on FreeBSD with POSIX and pcntl functions enabled.

Re: [PHP] php-cli - Controlling external programs
Bah, not the answer I was looking for...I really wanted to use PHP and I have most of what I wanted accomplished. Thanks for the tip, I will investigate.

How can I get the signal from tar that the tape needs to be changed? It sounds like you are wanting to write an interactive shell script. If this is the case (e.g., I didn't misunderstand), you should probably use expect instead of PHP. Hope that helps.

Subject: [PHP] Checkboxe problem
I have a form with 1 checkbox and have coded it like this:
input type=checkbox name=private
When the form is submitted, $HTTP_POST_VARS[private] only exists IF
checkbox
is checked. It doesn't exist otherwise, which is causing a problem
because
there are several other elements before and after. What happens is the
value AFTER private is actually populating private if private is
empty
(not checked). I am, no doubt, missing something small, but critical
here.
Can someone point out the error of my ways and explain how to get the
checkbox key/value pair into the post vars array when the value is not
checked?
TIA,

Re: [PHP] Oddity
This could be the problem in your for loop: $elementKey = key(
$macroDataArray ) - you're using the = assignment operator. Try == or =.

Ok, could someone tell me why this isn't working?
(note, I took out all my error checks. This is just the
relevant code...
$query = Query that does return row(s);
$result = mysql( $dbname, $query );
$macroDataArray = mysql_fetch_array( $result );
for( reset( $macroDataArray ); $elementKey = key( $macroDataArray );
next( $macroDataArray )) {
echo Value for key $elementKey = $macroDataArray[$elementKey]br\n;
}
// this should spit out one line for every element.
That doesn't work but this does:
foreach( $macroDataArray as $elementKey = $elementValue ) {
echo Value for key $elementKey = $elementValuebr\n;
}
// this spits out 2 lines for every element.
Why? What's going on? I could use the second bit of code, but that
returns
four pairs for each array element:
ELEMENT VALUE
05000
KeyName 5000
for example, where the above is the same element. I really don't need the
numerical key (the 0 above), just the name and that's why I need to find
out why the first FOR loop isn't working.
Any ideas? I've tried everything... :(

Re: [PHP] Oddity
You may want to give mysql_fetch_object a try. I like it because you end up typing less. You access elements like this: $row-data, instead of $row['data']. Just my $0.02.
