Although it would be interesting to see an implementation of a simulation of bigbang(). And, I would say there is a sound, even if no one is there to hear it, assuming it to have happened. Also if there were no sound, there would be no light show either, there would be nothing, which contradicts the assumption that the big bang was there (exists)...

[PHP] Stack Trace Length for Exceptions
I've been adding in exceptions at various points in the code so that I can more easily track where things are breaking and through which code path, but I just ran into a problem where it seems that the full stack trace isn't showing up in the error_logs. When I check out the logs, it only shows the last three frames, but I'd like it go all the way up the stack. Is the only solution to use something like debug_backtrace() instead, or is there some setting to change what gets printed to the error log? Thanks! Waynn

I do like the stick whacking the drum part though. :) And yes, you wouldnt hear anything in space, hadnt thought about that, so you can argue that the big bang didnt make a noise because it wouldnt have been hearable because there was nothing to carry the sound. For that matter it wouldnt have been seeable either. Something being hearable or seeable is different from someone/thing hearing or seeing it though. My point: Not trying to make one, or any sense either, because im probably contradicting myself here as are all of you, no offence. However, I find the big bang theory more convincing than any 7 days creation theory or things like that (sorry to all the religious people out there), But then you can always ask what was before that and before that and so on. But no one ever asks who or what created god in the first place, if s/he/it exists. Was s/he/it always there? Well then one could argue that the universe was always there too and there was no creation or big bang, or was good there for infinity and after a few quadrillion years, s/he/it became so bored and decided to make a big firework or only spend 7 days in creating everything? 7 days is a horribly short time for such a task after an infinite time of boredome. Maybe earth was always there (although this seems unlikely too). But do we really know that? I mean, ive read it in a book and learned it at school, but maybe we're all wrong and its all totally different to what is expected. To me only one thing is clear: We will never know how it all began, because a beginning of time and everything seems illogical to me, because there must have been something before that. Infinity, although to most not graspable seems a more graspable concept to me than finity. Anybody agree or am i alone in this universe? Sorry to go terribly off topic here...
[PHP] pear Mail/Mime problem on new Ubuntu Linux server
Hi All, Can someone think of a reason why when changing from a Windows 2003 Web Edition server running PHP 5.2 to a Ubuntu machine, also with PHP 5.2 can cause the following problem: The emails sent from the server, which should be in HTML format (the client wanted this specifically) now only show the plain text email, but only in Outlook XP or 2003. The Outlook 2007 on my work machine receives it fine, also my gmail account. Unfortunately, the client uses the Outlook version with the problem. Might it be the Unix newline characters? My first suspicion was to blame M$ for letting Outlook check the headers for example.com, postfix or Linux, but that might be a bit exajurated paranoia. lol Thanks for even reading this, even more for replying. :) Tim

session_start();

if(isset($_SESSION[Ecomm])) {
echo $_SESSION[Ecomm];
unset($_SESSION[Ecomm]);

For some unknown reason echoing this particular session var is now blank and
the page's source code proves that it is missing.
Now when I comment out the unset statement, then the crazy thing works. I see
the code in the page's source.
It is as if php is doing this:
if(isset($_SESSION[Ecomm])) {
unset($_SESSION[Ecomm]);
echo $_SESSION[Ecomm];
}
No kernel, apache, or php updates have happened. An there's not errors
logged. Truely strange. Any ideas?

}
function b() {

a();
where this would print
the calling function is a
(i made func_caller() up)

RE: [PHP] MSSQL_CONNECT problem
Bastien - I'm getting desperate,
Yes, I'm using a valid SQL account. I've tried putting both versions of
ntwdblib.dll in the php directory, and the system32 directory (not at once of
course), and I get the same error.
I've pretty much tried everything I've readthe kicker is I can access the
SQL Server fine by using ADO in PHP. It's only when I try mssql_connect that
the connection fails
The whole reason I don't use ADO is because the queries don't stand up to SQL
injection...So I wanted to use mssql_connect with mssql_bind so I can do
parameterized queries
Do you have any other thoughts?
Thanks!

mssql.secure_connection = off (in the php.ini file)

Keep getting error message: Unable to connect to server
Does anyone have any ideas?

Dave,
For my connection I didn't copy the ntwdblib.dll file from the SQL Server
and paste it onto the PHP server...I believe there was an older version of
the ntwdblib.dll that I had to download...the file had a modification date
of I think 11/2003.
Things to check.
extension=php_mssql.dll uncommented in your PHP.ini
See if your PHP server can talk to your SQL Server. I would assume they are
both inside the DMZ and that your DNS resolves the server names, correct?
When making your connection try doing it like this:
//Assign the server connection to a variable
$connect = mssql_connect('SERVERNAME, 'USERNAME', 'PASSWORD');
//Select your database and reference the connection
mssql_select_db('DATABASE', $connection);
Have you created a mssql account to allow connetion from whereever you are
coming from?

You shouldn't be passing info like that over the URL; use sessions
instead.
I saw a shopping cart system once that passed the price of items over
the URL, and when I found out and alerted them, we won the contract for
a rebuild and then got accused of hacking by their previous web guys
(who incidentally built the system!)

No need to pass AdminID in the URL at all. Store that ID in the
AdminLogin session variable instead of OK and you can get it from
there on every subsequent page.

Re: [PHP] echo SESSION var doesn't work if unset after echo
I have two vars doing the same thing. One is echo'd/unset in the
head/head section and the other echo'd/unset in the footer of the page.
No re-direct request is being made.
Ok now check this. If I use this code:
if(isset($_SESSION[Ecomm])) {
echo $_SESSION[Ecomm];
unset($_SESSION[Ecomm]);
}
I can *NOT* see the Ecomm contents in the right-click - View Page Source.
I do see the complete in the View Generated Source.
Now, If I comment out the unset:
if(isset($_SESSION[Ecomm])) {
echo $_SESSION[Ecomm];
// unset($_SESSION[Ecomm]);
}
Then I *CAN* see the Ecomm code in the in the right-click - View Page
Source as well as the View Generated Source.

I don't think anyone mentioned a redirect request. Rather, to speed up
loading of pages, browsers make simultaneous GET requests for the page.
This is why forms should always use GET to retrieve data that will not
change, and POST to change data or state.

If you're on a Linux system, you could look at ls and the regular
expressions it lets you use with it. You could exec out and get the
returned results. Also, as it's a system call, it should be very speedy.

Glob works on all platforms.
Glob does suffer from performance issues above a certain number of
files, and this can be system dependant. If you're unsure how many
files it may return you'd be better using opendir/readdir.
Not sure where you got the idea that glob searches the entire file
system, but it's limited to either the current working directory or
the directory you specify. So if your PHP file is in /var/www/htdocs
and you do glob('*.txt') you'll get all .txt files in /var/www/htdocs.
And if you do glob('/tmp/*.txt') you'll get all .txt files in /tmp.

What is the preferred method with php to test and see if a file

For example, i only need to search in one directory, that may have any
number of files named such as afile1.txt, afile2.txt, afile3.txt, And
also, bfile1.txt, bfile2.txt, bfile3.txt, ...
I want to see if any such file 'family' exists. That is, i want to see
if there is any file named bfile[1-9][0-9]+.txt. I don't care which bfile
number exists, i just want to know if any bfile exists.
I hope this is clear enough, if not let me know.

glob()
http://www.php.net/glob
How portable is glob?
How fast is glob? Being that it searches through the entire filesystem,
this could potentially take a long time (like if i have wildcards early in
the filepath pattern and lots of matches) correct? If my file variations
(wildcards) are just at the end of of the filepaths and i don't have more
than 1000 files in the directory then will I most likely be 'alright' with
glob (in terms of time)? I have probably spent more time now 'considering'
the time implications of glob, than glob actually would consume when
operating...
Thanks for the quick response/solutions.

Glob works on all platforms.
Glob does suffer from performance issues above a certain number of files,
and this can be system dependant. If you're unsure how many files it may
return you'd be better using opendir/readdir.
Not sure where you got the idea that glob searches the entire file system,
but it's limited to either the current working directory or the directory
you specify. So if your PHP file is in /var/www/htdocs and you do
glob('*.txt') you'll get all .txt files in /var/www/htdocs. And if you do
glob('/tmp/*.txt') you'll get all .txt files in /tmp.

I wrote my own little function for a regex pattern match on files:
class FileHandle {
public static function copyReg($srcDir, $destDir, $regEx, $mkdir =
false) {
// ensure we have the right dir separator /(unix) \(win) and not at
the end
$srcDir = rtrim(str_replace(array('/','\\'), DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR,
$srcDir), DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
$destDir = rtrim(str_replace(array('/','\\'), DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR,
$destDir), DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
//echo DEST: . $destDir . END;
if ($mkdir !is_dir($destDir)) mkdir($destDir, 0777, true); //make
dir if not exists and mkdir
if ($handle = opendir($srcDir)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
//echo $file\n;
preg_match($regEx, $file, $matches);
if ($file != '.' $file != '..' count($matches) 0) {
//print(pre$regEx $srcDir $file \n=.
print_r($matches,true));
copy($srcDir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file,
$destDir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file);
}
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
Hope that helps. Don't know how good this will perform.

[PHP] usort for sorting an array of objects
Hi Guys, I need to sort an array of objects. I found this ( at a url that didnt let me send this msg... ) and I would know how to do it, but I believe there might be a cleaner, more elegant way to do it. In Java, you just need to implement the interface Comparable and provide a method called compareTo (as far as i remember) and then you can use one of the many sorting algorithms generically on objects that are comparable... Anyway, I didn't find something like that for PHP. Since I'm using symfony, I had a bit of a play with the objects at hand and simply did a sort($arrayOfObjects) and it did sort them by the id. Just wondering where it got the information on what to sort on (not quite) correctly for my case? Thanks for your interest. -- Tim-Hinnerk Heuer http://www.ihostnz.com -- Web Design, Hosting and free Linux Support

I've tried putting both versions of ntwdblib.dll in the php directory, and the system32 directory (not at once of course), and I get the same error. I've pretty much tried everything I've readthe kicker is I can access the SQL Server fine by using ADO in PHP. It's only when I try mssql_connect that the connection fails The whole reason I don't use ADO is because the queries don't stand up to SQL injection...So I wanted to use mssql_connect with mssql_bind so I can do parameterized queries Do you have any other thoughts? Thanks! I've had decent luck so far with the SQL Server Driver for PHP published by Microsoft since Jason pointed me to it a while ago.

I'm not sure what the context of this was, but the speed of searching a directory with a large number of files, e.g. 100,000s, also depends a lot on the filesystem. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Ashley Sheridan wrote: If you're on a Linux system, you could look at ls and the regular expressions it lets you use with it. You could exec out and get the returned results. Also, as it's a system call, it should be very speedy. 'ls' is just a plain binary (/bin/ls), not a system call. The regex functionality is part of the shell, usually bash. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
