Re: [PHP] Re: $_GET strings seperation
Hey Jarred,
Sorry I couldn't get to you earlier. Thanks again for all the help.
And yes, I live maybe about 15-20 min from the new stadium.
Take care...

Incidentally, ponder this:
code
function shortGetNewQueryString($arr,$merge) {
return array_merge($arr,$merge);
}
echo('pre');
// Let's do one new cID, new GET key/value
$query = Array('cID'=42,'freudian'='slip');
$go = shortGetNewQueryString($_GET,$query);
print_r($go);
// Let's do one new cID, new GET key/value
$query = Array('cID'=9-002,'footloose'='fancy free');
$go = shortGetNewQueryString($go,$query);
print_r($go);
// Let's do one new cID, new GET key/value
$query = Array('cID'=493,'fugged'='dhaboutit');
$go = shortGetNewQueryString($go,$query);
print_r($go);
// Let's do one new cID, new GET key/value
$query = Array('cID'=A4,'longlongtimeago'='in a galaxy far, far
away');
$go = shortGetNewQueryString($go,$query);
print_r($go);
echo('/pre');
/code
By the way, when you run that code, pay special attention to the
second test. Very very tricky entry anomaly... Wuffuh!
Pay attention to how short that new code is
( shortGetNewQueryString() ). It's certainly arguable you don't even
need to wrap it in a function. Consider:
code
// This is the best version, I believe: brief and simple.
function mediumGetNewQueryString ($arr,$add) {
foreach ($add as $key=$val) {
$arr[$key] = $val;
}
return $arr;
}
echo('pre');
print_r( mediumGetNewQueryString($_GET,$query) );
echo('pre');
/code
And then, of course, a number of shortcuts may be used to obscurify and
mystify your code for later puzzling, head-scratchedness.
This is, of course, exactly comparable to all the other example
methods:
code
// Hard to read, ie, needless brevity
function annoyingGetNewQueryString ($arr,$add) {
foreach ($add as $key=$val) $arr[$key] = $val;
return $arr;
}
echo('pre');
print_r( annoyingGetNewQueryString($_GET, $query) );
echo('/pre');
/code
Caution: Using array_merge, though, will overwrite keynames, but NOT
numerical items. You can't auto-map over numerical keys with array_merge(),
apparently.
Consider:
code
$array = Array(
[0] = 'moe'
[1] = 'curly',
[2] = 'larry'
);
// Is equivalent to ~
$array = Array();
$array[] 'moe';
$array[] 'curly';
$array[] 'larry';
// Is equivalent to ~
$array = Array();
array_push($array, 'moe');
array_push($array, 'curly');
array_push($array, 'larry');
/code
When you add a numerical array in php, it is added to the stack as a new
item, or push. Essentially,
$array = Array('item1')
$array[] = 'item2' eq ~ Array('item1','item2')
And then when you call on the array, it
{ get Array as Numerically-Indexed Set } eq ~ split($array,$token=',') eq ~
({ [0] = 'item' , [1] = 'item2' })
So an array on a stack can be represeted in memory as a comma-delimited
numerically-indexed list, eg, 'item','item2'

[PHP] $_GET strings seperation
Hello Everyone, I have a problem with GET strings. I use $_SERVER[REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING] to get the value-pairs in the URL. The problem is that there is a cID variable that keeps appending itself to the string continuously everytime someone clicks on a different category link on the website. For example, instead of this: http://www.someexample.com/admin/index.html?cID=42somevar=valuesomevar2=value2 it keeps appending another cID to it everytime it goes to a different link, like this: http://www.someexample.com/admin/index.html?cID=42cID=39cID=44cID=37somevar=valuesomevar2=value2 I know that this is happening because I'm appending it with the dot (.) but is there a way to just inject a single cID and still have the rest of the value-pairs available? Something built into PHP, maybe a different predefined variable I don't know about? Or, do I have to make a complex function to separate each out and then put it back together again like humpty dumpty? Is there an easier way to do this and still have a single cID variable in the GET string? Thanks in advance. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Is this what you're doing:
code
$cid = getCid(); // However you do set the new, included cid
$newlink = 'http://www.someexample.com/admin/index.html?'.$cid.
$_SERVER[REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING];
/code
???
If this is similar to what you're doing, this is a fairly problematic way
for you to insert a replacement property in a query string. An example of a
way to get a new query string:
code
function getNewQueryString($arr) {
$store = Array();
foreach ($_GET as $key=$val) {
foreach ($arr as $k=$v) {
if (isset($_GET[$k])) {
$store[$key] = $v;
}
}
if (!isset($store[$key])) {
$store[$key] = $val;
}
}
$i = 0;
$str = '?';
$count = count($store);
foreach ($store as $key = $val) {
$amp = $count-1 !== $i ? 'amp;' : '';
$str .= {$key}={$val}{$amp};
$i++;
}
return $str;
}
$query = Array('cID'=42);
$newlink = http://www.oompaloompa/land.php.getNewQueryString($query);
echo(p$newlink/p);
/code
What you need to do is transcribe your $_GET string to a new version,
replacing the current values that need replacing while retaining all other
values. To do this, loop through the $_GET global array, replace those that
match $_GET keynames with the new data, and then rebuild the query into a
string for inclusion in the link.
I'll leave it to you figure out how to add new values that are not replaced
($query=Array('cID'=51,'doesnotexistyet'='completelynewvalue'), for
instance). Also, the above is an example; there are certainly many other
ways to do what is done above (such as replacing the last foreach loop with
an implode() call). There are some strictly unnecessary things done above,
in other words, but I left them in to show what really is happening (and
needs to be done).

[PHP] Help With Recursion Multi-Dimensional Arrays
Hello Guys,
I need a little bit of help with recursion. I've searched our PHP website
and Google, but none helped me understand my problem. There is a code below
this message in order to help you understand what I am trying to achieve.
Here is an explaination:
What I'm trying to do is list a typical category/subcategory system with
parents and children associated with those parents. My database table
(categories) lists all the parents and children together, each with a
parent_id field
(with root being a value of 0). What I want to do is, if a user clicked on
one of the parent categories, only one level of that category will show (or
only the direct children of that specific category will show). I want the
depth to be endless because I want to control the depth some other way. I
know that using a recursive theory would cost a lot as far as speed goes,
but I'm willing to risk it for now.
Here is the problem: The problem is that the recursive method yields several
arrays, instead of one long array. I tried to use an array_push() function,
but that doesn't seem to work well with multi-dimentional arrays. I tried
the straight way, i.e. $menu_array[$count]['name'] = $name_of_category or
$menu_array['name'][$count] = $name_of_category, but that yields several
arrays instead of one long array or category names. The depth of the
categories can be determined by the $_GET string passed, $_GET['some_path'],
which is in the format: parent1_child1_grandchild1_grandchild2,
etc.($some_path = 1_4_6_8), where all of these are related to each other.
These, of course, are split using the underscore delimeter: $path['0'] = 1,
$path['1'] = 4, and so on.
And finally, here is my question: How do I get all these categories, parents
and children, listed into one array and then returned. I want to be able to
list them on the web page using one array. I will also include id,
parent_id, and other info with each array, but first I want to get the name
listings of the categories to work. Also, if anyone has any suggestions
about a more speedier way to do this, please let me know.
Sorry for the long explaination, I just wanted to make sure you guys
understood my goals. Thanks in advance to anyone that responds, I appreciate
it very much. Here is the code I promised:
-
function menu_tree($parent_id = '0', $cPath = '', $menu_array = '') {
if (!is_array($menu_array)) {
$menu_array = array();
$cPath = $this-separatePath($_GET['cPath']); // separates $_GET
string into array of category ids
} else {
reset($cPath);
array_shift($cPath);
}
if (sizeof($cPath) = 0) {
$db = new base_db();
$query = select cid, name, parent_id from categories where
parent_id = ' . $parent_id . ' order by sort_order, name;;
$categories = $db-fetch_results($query);
//echo sizeof($cPath).br /;
//echo $query.br /;
for ($i = 0, $count = 0; $i count($categories); $i++, $count++) {
// The following are the methods I tied, but failed to work
//$menu_array['name'][$count] = $categories[$i]['name'];
//$menu_array[]['name'] = $categories[$i]['name'];
//$menu_array['name'][] = $categories[$i]['name'];
//array_push($menu_array, $categories[$i]['name']); // This one works,
but
does not yeild a multi-dimensional array, which is what I need if I were to
add more information to the output of this array, like id and parent_id
//array_push($menu_array[$count]['name'],
$categories[$i]['name']); // This does not work, gives error saying the
first parameter of array_push must be an array
if (($this-get_children($categories[$i]['cid']))
in_array($categories[$i]['cid'],$cPath)) {
$this-menu_tree($categories[$i]['cid'], $cPath,
$menu_array);
}
}
}
print_r($menu_array);
}
-
Here is what it returns using the print_r() function on $menu_array
Array ( [name] = Array
(
[0] = Cars
[1] = Honda
[2] = Accord
[3] = 1996
[4] = 1997
[5] = 1998
[6] = 1999
[7] = 2000
[8] = 2001

[PHP] Image Manipulation/GD support
Hello,
I just enabled GD support for PHP via the php.ini file. When I try to
run a script that uses the functions included in the library, it gives
me a dialog box asking me whether I want to save the php file to a
specific location or not. I don't need to save it, I need PHP to run it.
This is happening on two machines enabled with the gd library. I'm using
PHP 4.0.6, while my remote host machine is using 4.1.1. Do I need a more
current version of the GD library to run this script? Here is the
script:
?php
$image = images/pic.jpg;
if (!$max_width)
$max_width = 150;
if (!max_height)
$max_height= 150;
$size = GetImageSize($image);
$width = $size[0];
$height = $size[1];
$x_ratio = $max_width / $width;
$y_ratio = $max_height / $height;
if (($width = $max_width) ($height = $max_height)) {
$tn_width = $width;
$tn_height = $height;
}
elseif (($x_ratio * $height) $max_height) {
$tn_height = ceil($x_ratio * $height);
$tn_width = $max_width;
}
else {
$tn_width = ceil($y_ratio * $width);

I just tried that Robert. It still gives me the same error that it did
before. There is no error after the mysql_connect. It definitely is
connecting. If it didn't connect then it wouldn't pass the query to the
database in the first place and spit out an error on the SQL syntax. I
checked the syntax on the MySQL command line and it worked just fine. So
it's not the syntax either. I don't know what it could be :(

$ret = mysql _query($this-db, $query, $connection) or die (Error in

I think echoing out the mysql_error() will help pinpoint the problem.

RE: [PHP] form submission error trapping
George,
Good point. I actually like your idea a lot. I have never thought about
using $SCRIPT_NAME.
You also mentioned using $PATH_INFO to implement elegant (and
search-engine safe) urls... below. Can you give me a couple of examples
of how I might do this? I always hated the GET strings at the end of the
url. Sometimes I redirect a user to the same page two times just to get
rid of the trailing GET string. I know that's a bad way of doing it, but
it was a temporary thing until I could find a way around it. I would
really appreciate your help on this one. Thanks...

Navid,
$SCRIPT_NAME is sometimes a safer alternative than $PHP_SELF.
The difference is that $PHP_SELF includes $PATH_INFO while $SCRIPT_NAME
is
just the name of the actual script running.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php
This becomes particularly important if you use $PATH_INFO to implement
elegant (and search-engine safe) urls e.g. /search/products/myproduct
rather
than /search.php?category=productskey=myproduct.

[PHP] MySQL error checking/matching
Hello everyone,
I have a problem. I have a test database (used to learn MySQL) with a
table called customers and a field called email. The email field is set
to be unique, so I know that by using: $query = select email from
customers where email = $email; I will get one cell with the e-mail
address that matches the email address specified by the variable
$e-mail. Basically, I want to check to see if the e-mail address set in
the variable $email matches the email address in the field named email.
But I get an error at the end.
Here's the source:
Assumptions:
- $email is set from a previous page
- a database connection is open and the database to be used is selected
- session settings will send $error back to the form page if result of
if statement below is true
$query = select email from customers // Check for duplicate
entry
. where email = $email;
$query = stripslashes($query);
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result); // Get the number of
rows in database (integer)
for ($i = 0; $i $num_results; $i++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result); // Return
results in an associative array
}
if($row[email] == $email) { // Check to see
if $email matches in database
$error = $email has already been registered;
header(Location: signup.php??=SID?);
exit;
}
And this produces the following error:
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
e:\localhost/book-o-rama/admin/signup_do.php on line 34.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated...

[PHP] PHP code organization...
Ok, this is very important to me, but
I'm not sure how to explain it well. I
am working on a project using PHP that
supports about 6 different browsers and
browser versions. All the code is in one
single file for now, but I will
eventually split the code up and call
them using several include files. The
problem is that when I start writing the
code and it doesn't support a specific
browser version, I customize the code
with some browser sniffing...for
example:
table
tr
td width='100'
first column
/td
?php if ($browser == ns4) { ?
td bgcolor=ff
second column
/td
?php } elseif ($browser == ns6)
{ ?
// using different field-color for
this browser version...
td bgcolor='ff'
second column
/td
?php } else { ?
// using different field-color for
this browser version...
td bgcolor='00ff00'
second column
/td
?php } ?
/tr
/table
This is not a real-world example, but it
works for trying to explain my problem.
The code is messy. The sniffing is done
earlier and is set by $browser, which
holds a value depending on which browser
the user is using at the moment they
access the page. I want this code to
look as normal as html can possibly
look, with a less ambiguous tree-like
flow, in the following format for
example:
table
tr
td width='100'
first column
/td
td bgcolor=some_color
second column
/td
/tr
/table
How would you guys organize the code to
where it makes the best use of whichever
browser is being used, but with less
messy code? I probably haven't explained
it well, but if you have any questions
please let me know and I'll be more than
happy to answer them. By the way, I'm a
newbie at PHP, and so far I think it's
the best thing that has ever happened to
the web. Thanks in advance. :)

[PHP] str_replace() function help
Hello,
I am creating an online text editor for a magazine site and I want to be
able to apply some CSS formatting into it. The following is the script that
adds the br / tags where necessary, then it strips the br / tags by
replacing them with some p tags with CSS formatting. The problem I'm
having is that it will not pick up on those br / tags (2 at a time). I
think it has something to do with the newline (\n) and return (\r) escape
characters not capturing the br / tags. Maybe I didn't set it up
correctly. Below the code is the input (exactly as typed in the online text
editor), the undesired output I'm getting when I run the article through the
script, and the desired output that I want.
Please Note that I am trying to comply with the XHTML standards and will be
converting these into XHTML, therefore all tags must be closed ( example:
p/p ), and all empty tags must be closed in this way: tag / ( example:
br / ). Also note that I am trying to stay away from other pattern
matching and replacing functions. The reason is that str_replace() seems
much faster than the rest. If it is possible, I would like to stick with
str_replace(). But if this turns out to be too complex for str_replace to
handle, then I will consider other options. I am on a Win2000 platform
running PHP 4.0.6 (which may or may not be relevant). Thanks in advance this
anyone who helps me out with this, I would really appreciate it.

Life is full of celebrated heroes: sports figures, individuals from all
walks of the entertainment industry, famous and infamous politicians, and
distinguished individuals from the business and science arenas, just to name
a few. But for every celebrated hero, there is at least one unsung hero.
This Spotlight segment is dedicated to the unsung heroes of our time.
Recently, I have been corresponding via email with three very dedicated and
talented students from the University of Toronto whom I consider real life
heroes. Once you read about their accomplishments as well as their trials

RE: [PHP] str_replace() function help
But that's not the problem. I know str_replace can handle what you just
wrote. My problem is replacing TWO br / tags at the same time. Take a look
at my script and you'll know what I mean. Can anyone help me with this?

Subject: [PHP] str_replace() function help
Hello,
I am creating an online text editor for a magazine site and I want to be
able to apply some CSS formatting into it. The following is the script that
adds the br / tags where necessary, then it strips the br / tags by
replacing them with some p tags with CSS formatting. The problem I'm
having is that it will not pick up on those br / tags (2 at a time). I
think it has something to do with the newline (\n) and return (\r) escape
characters not capturing the br / tags. Maybe I didn't set it up
correctly. Below the code is the input (exactly as typed in the online text
editor), the undesired output I'm getting when I run the article through the
script, and the desired output that I want.
Please Note that I am trying to comply with the XHTML standards and will be
converting these into XHTML, therefore all tags must be closed ( example:
p/p ), and all empty tags must be closed in this way: tag / ( example:
br / ). Also note that I am trying to stay away from other pattern
matching and replacing functions. The reason is that str_replace() seems
much faster than the rest. If it is possible, I would like to stick with
str_replace(). But if this turns out to be too complex for str_replace to
handle, then I will consider other options. I am on a Win2000 platform
running PHP 4.0.6 (which may or may not be relevant). Thanks in advance this
anyone who helps me out with this, I would really appreciate it.

RE: [PHP] Re: The future of PHP -- accessory libraries
I love PHP, but for the following reason it could be the death of it. All the PHP intellectuals stand up, get together, and solve this problem, or at least give us some reassurance.

This is the difficulty of finding, downloading, compiling and installing the various PHP libraries not included in the core distribution. Amen. As a member of a back-to-front web-design firm, we have resorted to hosting many of our customers in-house simply because the ISP that is currently hosting them either refuses to update accessory libraries, refuses us accessibility to update them ourselves, and/or treats the entire idea of their deficient system as incredulous. As a result, we have had certain projects that we had originally budgeted 2 days development and implementation time blow up into 2 month every-other-day negotiation with a hostile ISP complete with phone tag, additional agreement signing, and ultimately domain name transferring (which we should have done in the first place). One thing that I am _shocked_ has fallen by the wayside is payflow pro implementation. Until a short while ago, everyone I spoke with at Verisign tech support about PHP SDK implementation treated PHP like a dirty word and refused to help with it. Messages on php-general were answered by numerous uh, yeah -- tell me how you do it when you find out with conflicting answers from those who had an idea on how to get it to work. There are plenty of work-arounds if you're running your own show, but if you are dealing with a semi-hostile ISP, you are in for it. The ISP wouldn't give us info on where the CERTS were stored (because of security issues they said) so we couldn't put an environment variable pointing to them and use an exec() or passthru() to make it work either. And then the SSL conflicts with payflow pro SDK were laughable. How else would you want to use payflow pro except under an SSL environment?

This is the difficulty of finding, downloading, compiling and installing the various PHP libraries not included in the core distribution. Many quite important libraries seem to be persoanl projects which are not supported by the core team, and are hosted on sites that can be down for days at a time. On Linux, many still require a re-compile, there is no documentation standard, and no central repository. This compares badly with platforms such as Perl and Java, who tackled this issue long ago. My own ISP, who is one of the few to offer all PHP MySQL upgrades as they are released, complains about this bitterly. The upshot is that shared hosting rarely offers more than the core functionality, which can be very restrictive. Setting up your own server can be daunting and time consuming - and the commercial distros such as Zend and Nusphere don't seem to have tackled the library issue either. In terms of acceptability in the market, I suspect that this creates a negative impression. It seems to me that this is a quite central issue if PHP is to be perceived as a mature platform for building mission critical systems. I do hope that the development team, and those such as Zend who are committed to the future of PHP give this some attention.

RE: [PHP] The future of PHP
There are big players who have an eye on the open-source market right now, IBM being the biggest contributor. HP recently released their own Linux version on their desktop PCs and is marketing them as we speak. Microsoft is planning on giving away just part of their source code in their future products to software developers. Everyone has felt the heat on Open Source technology, and everyone knows it is the way to go. The only thing that is missing from most Open Source products, probably excluding PHP, is user-friendliness. There are a lot of computer illiterate people out there that have gotten used to the click and drag features that make using an application so easy, but they never dream of going into a command line and typing in something. Right now Linux is easy to use thanks to the abundance of different GUIs out there, but there is no standard, like Windows has. Also it is harder to set-up for newbies than Windows is (not really, but for the newbie it's a whole different world). It is a new concept that users must grab in order to make good use of it. There must be a way that people can link MS-like features into Linux a bit more so that at least it will make it easier for people to make that transition over to a different OS and try it out. After it has the market share it needs, users will have gotten used to Linux or BSD or whatever and we can do what MS does, promote a bunch of Linux-specific features into the OS. By that time they will have grabbed the concept of free so much that Windows would sound ridiculously pricey (especially the licensing). MS can't afford to give it's OS away for free, just like it could give away it's IE browser and break Netscape. That's why Open Source is the first real challenge for MS in 15 years. THEN follows the marketing, where everyone will be backing up Linux because of it's popularity and low cost, compared to Windows. And we'll see Bill Gates crawling on his knees and selling his Ferraris to pay his mortgage. Wouldn't I love to see that, just kidding. Until Linux gets better at certain things, I think I have no choice but to stick with Windows for now (especially in the design area). Anyway, that's my two cents worth. Navid P.S. -- When I say Linux, I mean all Open Source products, including PHP. Linux is just the driving force. And Christopher, keep up the promotion of PHP, you have some great ideas.

The truth is there is not great marketing force behind PHP like there is Sun behind Java or Microsoft behind .Net Good point, and how does one go about marketing a language that is open-source? If you don't know it is because you are not very motivated to do it. So, the first step is to convince and motivate yourself that PHP needs to be marketed. As for what to do, instead of suggesting new ideas, I would rather recall some old ideas that always seemed to work well. For instance, provide PHP users compensation. It does not need to be financial compensation. It may be moral compensation as long as it is real compensation. For instance, if I am not mistaken, Guido Van Rossum, the Python creator, sponsored a contest to develop software development tools with cash prizes. Only a few won, but the contest attracted a lot of people and was even mentioned in prestiged software development magazines like Dr. Dobbs. This required some investment, but if you look around you will not have much trouble to find a sponsor. Another point is that they managed to get the media on their side. It seems that in the PHP community there is little effort to appeal to media. That is a major waste of oppiortunity because they can provide some much marketing for free. One free way to provide compensation to any PHP user is to promote their work. 2 years ago I started a repository of PHP Classes of objects that basically allow anybody to contribute regardless of the quality and utility that you may attribute to what is contributed. The point is that once users that anybody can have some fame to have his work exposed to a large PHP audience (over 40.000 subscribers), they want to contribute as well and the site grows thanks to the moral compensation that it offers to any PHP user. There are other class repositories, like the official PHP PEAR repository, but the scope is different because the contributions are not accepted arbitrarily, so you don't get as many contributors. Other than that, PHP resources sites like these should be officially linked altogether with things like Web rings. It would cause a much better impression to newcomers or ceptic people as it would make PHP more credible exposing the real level of support that the whole PHP

creating tables within a database (the database already exists. The error
is

Subject: [PHP] mail() and stripslashes()
I'm using the mail() function to send email out via the web, and I've run in
a problem with escaped characters showing the slash in the emails.
I get the text for the email ($email_text, lets say) and then I strip the
slashes and put the new version in another variable ($nice_email_text). When
using the mail function, $nice_email_text is the data that gets sent out,
but the slashes in the escaped characters still show up in the messages.
(With OE)
Any ideas what would be causing this? The scripts I've made are sending out
emails to customers, and I don't want all the " and ' characters to show up
with slashes next to them.

RE: [PHP] Want a Good Book for Ref on PHP
You know, I was wondering the same thing. My situation is the same. My opinion is that the professional version probably strips out most of the beginner's content and adds more advanced php content and dives into everything in more detail rather than just trying to get a beginner off their feet by providing simple tasks Wrox is a great company, they come out with books that are the most comprehensive. Both versions might be a good investment for hardcore php programmers. Best thing to do is to just stop by a barnes and nobles bookstore and start looking through both books to see which one is best for you.

rant
I have noticed a lot of people do not put quotes on their array indexes
(e.g. VBulletin is a prime offender) - imho this is a really bad practice
because your code becomes ambiguous.
Example:
?php
define("foo", "donkey");
$test = array("foo"="orange", "bar"="purple");
echo $test[foo];
?
Now, I think that should print nothing (or an error), because there is no
index matching "donkey" (the value of the constant "foo"). But for some
reason PHP looks for an array index matching the string "foo" as well,
encouraging this kind of sloppy programming.

[PHP] Microsoft's new naming convention...
FYI folks... Microsoft is planning on a new naming convention for it's latest products. They will be naming their Office 10 Suite as Office XP, and Whisler will officially be named Windows XP. They say the "XP" might stand for XML Protocol, which "also happens to be the Worldwide Web Consortium's name for the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) for messaging that Microsoft and a handful of partners are championing." The formal public announcement is expected next week, from Microsoft. I hope Linux and BSD can break the market barrier that Microsoft has a hold of. I'm not a big fan of MS products, but it's good to keep up with your enemy's moves before it makes them. For those who are MS puppets, please don't be offended by my personal tastes...:) Article: Microsoft to rebrand Office, Windows with 'XP'?

LOL, I should have caught that. Check this article out... MSFT 60 13/16 -1 9/16 (2.51%) by Matthew Rothenberg, ZDNet News Is Microsoft's "XP" designation a castle made of sand? Will X mark the spot in this year's platform wars? According to my colleague Mary Jo Foley, Linux and Apple Computer Inc.'s Mac OS X may soon have some X-rated company, thanks to Microsoft Corp.'s assimilationist marketing department. Microsoft may not be ready to get jiggy with open-source programming or other excesses of its smaller OS competitors, but the company is apparently prepared to embrace the platform minorities' fondness for the least-used consonant in the alphabet: According to Foley, the next version of Microsoft Office for Windows will bear the moniker "Office XP" instead of "Office 10," and the Whistler Windows 2000 successor will be dubbed "Windows XP." Is the switch from 10 to X the result of residual DNA from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, whose worship of "Are You Experienced?" author Jimi Hendrix is as legendary as his fecklessness as a venture capitalist? Does it reflect Microsoft's own aspirations to rival the Roman Empire in its scope of influence? Is it a tacit acknowledgement that, whatever its triumphs, Windows will always be "Brand X" to a significant segment of the PC-wielding world? ZDNet News' TalkBack correspondents were quick to pipe up with their own (X) ratings of Redmond's move. Businessmen, they drink my wine Mac partisans were quick to note the coincidence of Microsoft's change of iconography and the arrival of Mac OS X, the next-generation Apple successor to Mac OS 9 that many of us have wilfully mispronounced for more than two years now. "Another Mac OS X rip-off by Microsoft," complained engineer "R.M." Not only is Microsoft trying to rip off the look of Aqua [Mac OS X's GUI] for Whistler; now they are going to start using the Roman numeral X for 10 in product names just like Apple. Wow! How original. Doesn't anybody at MS have a single idea of their own?" "It's pathetic how MS jumps on any bandwagon it can," agreed Robert Downs. "This X-naming thing takes the cake. What's next, iWindowsXP?" Hendrix aficionados were equally piqued by Microsoft's apparent effort to evoke the fallen guitar god. "'Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful,' " quoted Andy Citron, a Raleigh, N.C., computer programmer. "That's a line from the 'Are You Experienced' song. I can see folks having a field day with that." "May I suggest the Hendrix song 'Manic Depression' instead of 'Are You Experienced' for the next Windows launch?" added Glenn Parizot, an engineer who said he hails from the "third stone from the sun." Other readers--uninfluenced by the cultural legacy of Cupertino or Seattle--struck out in new directions when offering bon mots about Microsoft's plan. "Citrix is already using 'XP' as its moniker for its upcoming product formerly known as Metaframe 2.0," Denver systems engineer Armando Skeen pointed out. "Talk about confusion! I can see the questions now: 'Is Office XP specifically designed for Metaframe XP?' " Meanwhile, Randy Pugh, a Houston graphic designer, got down to brass tacks. "I'm confused," he confessed. "Maybe they should just name it Windows WTF or Office WTF." Got some naming suggestions of your own for Microsoft?

RE: [PHP] PHP hosting - the final frontier.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with a one-manned hosting service. I agree with Robert in this, there are a lot of big hosting companies that don't really have a personal hold of their business to really care about their clients. To them everything is automated and all they do is hire customer service people who are only taught to, well, "serve customers" with answers to questions they don't know in the first place. They just read from the script and have basic step-by-step trouble shooting instructions in front of them to solve a client's problems/requests. If you need an updated software package, like PHP4, froman old PHP3 engine, you'de have to beg for it and you might have to go through several layers of support just for that request to go through. Let me remind you that the software is free of charge. If the request is accepted, then more power to you. If it's not then you'll have to deal with it until you decide to find another host. I have one question for you Robert. XML has been in the market for a long time (since 1998), and the recommendations are now set to a true standard. Why do most hosting services not have support for XML based languages yet? Thanks...

I shouldn't even reply to this... Yes I would host with me. Have you ever heard of a backup plan. People that would step in if something happens to me? People that I trust to keep the company going if it fails. With all due respect, how do people host with a company that doesn't give a rats ass about them or their business. How many big companies redirect your call, or brush you away when problems occur. I been over backwards for my clients. Providing better service then many of the bigger companies out there. That is why people do and will continue to host with me. Like I said, I plan on hiring people in the near future. Things take time to evolve. I am not saying that my company is for everyone. If you don't like a one man shop then don't go there. People have taken a chance with me and have not been disappointed like so many times before. Sincerely, Robert T.

With all due respect, how can someone in his right mind host with a one man gang company? For all I know you can be a hosting genius and give the best service around but you are still one man. Would you host with you ? :) Sincerely berber Visit http://www.weberdev.com Today!!!

I am going to have to disagree on this one. I run a successful (and profitable) hosting company(http://www.rolet.com). My employees total 1 (me, myself and I). The number of clients hosted is roughly 120. I provide a wide variety of services on Linux, FreeBSD, NT, and W2K. Yes it is hard to believe that 1 person can be available 24x7, or not take vacations, but this is what I do and LOVE every second of it. I value customer satisfaction and strive to provide that best Internet services possible. For me this is a career for life, not just a job. So I do believe that 1 person can be available 24x7 and not take vacations. Don't get me wrong, some days it is tough. I would like to have other employees in the future, but don't mind the sacrifices taken to get there. Sincerely, Robert T.

Chris, This all sounds good but for one thing: I firmly believe that one man with a root password is not enogh to look after even one client. I have hosted with 3 one-man-companies, and it always came to the point where I couldn't reach someone for a week, or I waited for 3 months, only to be granted connect privileges to the mysql database - no offense meant! I think it's just too much for one man, you cannot be available 24/
