[PHP] $_POST
Hey, Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I have been used to using $_POST but from what I can tell it isn't supported in PHP 5. What do you use instead? Thanks, Nahtna -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Running a server process
Hi there, I have a windows application the performs a certain task that I need it to perform. I am in the process of developing my site and am really interested in the functionality of the site at the moment and haven't set about putting the details in place, so I am using the php function exec (start ... ); To run the process. It works. That is it works with just me using the site. I am wondering how this would effect performance if say 500 people were executing this php function around the same time and the processing overlapped. Is there anyway to make an executable run as a service, I am guessing at the terminology that I should use here, but I feel there would be a much more efficient way of performing this task. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Nathan
RE: [PHP] Running a server process
Thanks for the info guys. Sockets sound interesting. Will check the out more. I have played with sockets and flash before, but I will read up more. From what you are saying I gather that 500 people with an open socket to the program is a lot different to 500 people spawning their own process.

I am wondering how this would effect performance if say 500 people were executing this php function around the same time and the processing overlapped. Don't wonder. Run ab (Apache Benchmark) and find out. Or use valgrind/callgrind to find out. Or use wget to find out. Or use that whack-a-mole benchmark or SuperSmack or whatever it is. Is there anyway to make an executable run as a service, I am guessing at the terminology that I should use here, but I feel there would be a much more efficient way of performing this task. Any program can be run as a service (Un*x: daemon) Writing that program to do something useful and, more so, efficient, is a bit challenging. Here's a sample talkback service that just spits out whatever you put in: http://php.net/sockets -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

[PHP] Server Process
Just a follow up to my post about running an application server side and the introduction of sockets. My application is really just to modify a series of images on the server and combine them into a collage of images as a single file name. So I just say go and wait for it to build the final file, then it is done. So in this case are sockets an advantage? I really just want to start the application and let it go, without transferring data back and forth between PHP and the app. Any more help would be great. Cheers, Nathan
[PHP] COM Objects
I am having some trouble instantiating a COM object, it seems to crash my web server every time I call the line. $tve=new COM(TVE3COM.TVE); I have downloaded a trial version of the Turbo Video Engine SDK and this was a line I got from the php examples folder. Is anyone familiar with this SDK? I ran the installer which I guess would install the files in the correct location. Or do I need to have the DLL's in the same directory? I am very new to all of this. Thanks again, Nathan
[PHP] amfphp
Hey there, I am running amfphp on my webserver locally and it works well when I use localhost, so I change localhost to my computers local IP address which is 192.168.1.2 and then test it from another machine. Nothing happens, the remote procedure does not get called. Any ideas on this? Thanks, Nathan
[PHP] Hi
Hi guys and girls, I have question for you all. I have developed a flash application which is a test for students. For each test their is an accompanying excel spreadsheet that has information related to each question they have answered and whether they got it right or wrong. I am receiving whether the student got the question right or wrong in PHP from FLASH. That part is complete. The other part I have complete is PHP emailing the teacher with an attached excel spreadsheet renamed to the studentsname_results.xlsthe last part I want to complete is that of the students results being inputted into the correct column in the spreadsheet and then being attached to the email. I am guessing I would be best to not attach a physical file that resides on the server but build the data up inside PHP to resemble the file format I am trying to generate and attach that to my email. Two questions. Can someone tell me the best format to be sending (i.e. the format that has the best support for PHP) and also is this method dependent on the web server being windows or linux based. I am no expert but from what I can gather I take it that COM object support is really just for windows based web servers. Thanks and all the best, Nathan
[PHP] Running processes in windows
Howdy. I have an application in windows that I am running with a PHP page using exec (start.. I am wondering as to the efficiency of such a statement and how taxing it is on the server. If multiple people access a page with such a statement, what toll does it take on the server and is there a better way to manage calls to the server side executable? When this statement is called a command prompt window appears for the duration of the execution. I am guessing it would be possible to crash the server if thousands of these processes we created at around the same timejust anyone experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Nathan
