[PHP] IP atlas alternatives anyone?

2003-06-04 Thread Simon Dedeyne

I'm looking for a little script like IP atlas:


IP-Atlas uses NetGeo data to find latitude and longitude coordinates
for a domain or ip address, as well as the city and country. It then
uses GD or CSS to plot it on the globe.
 http://xpenguin.com/ip-atlas.php


This script seems to work for me, but still has bugs  hasn't been
updated since long.
Any alternatives?

thanks
Simon

[PHP] PDF generation asian languages

2003-02-26 Thread Simon Dedeyne
Hi,

Has anyone tried to generate PDF's that contain Japanese or Chinese
characters with the PHP functions?
I know you have to install the Asian language fontpack for PDF's but
even generating the simplest test page leads to the most horrible
crashes on my Windows XP system. (using PHP 4.3.0)

Any pointers, example scripts or references would be greatly
appreciated,

Simon

[PHP] serious problem with mbstring functions

2003-01-21 Thread Simon Dedeyne
When trying to do a search in a mbstring, I sometimes(!) get the following error:
 

Warning: mb_ereg_search()[function.mb-ereg-search]:mbregex compile err: premature end 
of regular expression in c:\myfile.php on line 12.

 
It's only the case for some strings. Why is this? I assume it must something related 
to the word itself interacting with the mbfunctions
I'm using PHP 4.3.0.
 
 
Thanks a lot!
Simon

[PHP] Mysql/php database performance question

2003-01-10 Thread Simon Dedeyne

Hi,

I got a question about using Mysql databases.
I load textdata in VARCHAR colums up to size 50. I have about 5 of those
columns. 
The last columns often contain empty cells. (data are wordmeanings, many
words have only a 1 or 2meanings)

What would be faster/better:
- putting everything in a big varchar column (size 5x50) and PHP parsing
them by comma after
  fetching 

 or 

- keeping those 5 columns with a lot of empty cells in the last columns?

Thanks,
Simon

RE: [PHP] Mysql/php database performance question

2003-01-10 Thread Simon Dedeyne

I see what you mean Khalid, but I only retrieve 1 entry at the time, so
exploding wouldn't be the biggest problem I suppose. 
Furthermore, if I use char columns, and some of those columns have lots
of empty cells, isn't it a waste of space/lookup-time?

So I think I have to reformulate the question: which is better 5 varchar
columns of size 50 or 1 varchar column of size 250
(regardless of parsing).

Thanks,
Simon

---
the thing that may make difference in performance (as i think) is
whether 
you make it a fixed -CHAR- or a variable -VARCHAR- it's preferable that
you 
make separate char columns, so that PHP will not have to explode every 
record!

Regards,
Khalid Al-Kary,

[PHP] PHP 4.3.0 and multibytestrings?

2003-01-08 Thread Simon Dedeyne
I got a simple question. What do you have to do when you want to use
multibytestring functions under 
PHP 4.3.0 assuming you're using the windows binaries and you're running
on XP?
Is it standard or do you have to adjust some things?

Cheers,
Simon

[PHP] Split that keeps delimiter

2003-01-03 Thread Simon Dedeyne

Is there a way to split a string without using something like this:
$keywords=preg_split(/[?!.]/, this ! Is a possible
test,PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
My php version doesn't seem to support the flags, and I want to know
which delimiter the string was splitted by.

Kind regards,

[PHP] Upgrading PHP windows binaries

2002-11-27 Thread Simon Dedeyne


Hi,

I want to see if I can use PHP 4.3.0RC1, and downloaded the windows
binaries.
Currently I'm using PHP 4.2.3 on a Win NT and XP OS, I've made the
installation with the phpdev package from firepages. 

My question. What files do I have to change so I don't have to reinstall
my Apache and Mysql? Is it just copying the
Files from the Win PHP 4.3 ORC1 to my current php directory, and then
altering the php.ini file or are there other files
(such as httpd.conf) that should be reconfigured? If so, which files?

Thanks!

Simon

[PHP] Looking for compiled Windows PHP installation with multistring fts support

2002-11-19 Thread Simon Dedeyne

Hi,

Does anybody know where to find a pre-compiled Windows (XP) version of
PHP that includes multistring functions? I checked phpdev on firegpages
and other sites that usually hold these installations but their versions
don't support those multistrings yet. Any help/links are appreciated!

[PHP] regular expressions question

2002-10-30 Thread Simon Dedeyne
I have a little question. I'm having some difficulty with regular
expressions:
 
here it is:
(this)example
should be output in an array
[0]= this
[1]= thisexample
 
I'm supposing this should be done with preg_grep, but I'm not really
familiar with some of it's syntax for the regular expression.
I could use some ideas,
 
 
cheers,
Simon
