Re: [PHP] Making a Search Function?
To reduce the time it takes to process it all you might want to try using LIKE in your queries. This means your script will only have to process say 50 instead of 10 000 results.

Re: [PHP] How to deal with XML?
Just a small correction. I could be wrong but I don't believe XML is a subset of SGML but created to be used instead of. It was created from the ground up to replace SGML(not the easiest language to work with). On Monday 27 October 2003 23:21, Robert Cummings wrote: On Mon, 2003-10-27 at 20:40, Simon Fredriksson wrote: I think I've missed something somewhere, but how do I use XML? Everywhere, there are big hypes about XML. I could proably google quite a bit on this, but could someone give me a hint on how to use it in, say datahandling? Or to parse a website (like the php docs). PHP docs are SGML as far as I can remember. I think XML is a subset of SGML. I would agree that XML in many cases has been hyped, but from a practical point of view it does also have a lot of merit. One of the examples I have found for it to work extremely well is on my MUD project (Multi User Dimension). For example let's say we have a player with the following stats: strength intelligence wisdom dexterity constitution We could define an XML document which stores this data in clear, concise, and human readable fashion such as the following: player strength 15 /strength intelligence 19 /intelligence wisdom 18 /wisdom dexterity 14 /dexterity constitution 10 /constitution /player This is a pretty simple format, the fields are self explanatory. Now one of the great advantages of XML is its flexibility. Let's say I now want to add support for a charisma field... well it's as simple as adding the field to the data, and if it doesn't exist assuming a default: player strength 15 /strength intelligence 19 /intelligence wisdom 18 /wisdom dexterity 14 /dexterity charisma 17 /charisma constitution 10 /constitution /player In older data formats such as binary, to add such a field would generally require that version information be stored at the beginning of the document and then when the data is resaved it would be saved as the newer version. This caused problems with multiple versions in existence, whereas with XML since the fields don't necessarily need to have any kind of order, we don't need to keep track of version, only whether or not the field was included. The other alternative (if you had complete control over the data) was to convert it all to the new format which was generally a tedious job and required a fair amount of effort to ensure the validity of the new format. This is quite a trivialization of XML, but this is one of the main advantages I see for it. One could easily define a multitude of other formats that are just as flexible, but currently XML is well supported by the development community and so is probably the better choice. As with all things, your mileage may vary.

Re: [PHP] Upgrading GD...
Off the top of my head I can't think of where to get GD but google should be able to tell you. As for PHP just go to http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php assuming your running Apache 2.0 is no just change apache2 for apache in the url. The php documentation has install instructions for almost all supported servers. Read through the documentation for your distribution on the make command (or find it at gnu.org) It explains some stuff about part of configuration.

Re: [PHP] Multiple PHP modules
