I'm niether - I believe John Nichel is a little older than I.
he for one has been on this list fielding questions longer than you
have been writing php code sebastian. complete noobs often get some slack,
even with offtopic questions + a gentle nudge - lazy people get a kick in the
ass.
people who have been asking questions (primarily) for a while (e.g. afan)
will eventually run out of credit and find themselves on the shortend
of a bit John Nichel humor (for instance).
yes humor - at least I thought his comment was funny - which is part of
what makes this list fun to be on.
it is not like you asked a windows question on a linux list.. i've seen
stupid html questions here.. yet they get answered.
HyperTextMarkupLanguage
PhpHypertextProcessor
you might see a reason why 'stupid HTML' question are possibly a little
more relevant, generally speaking, than pure SQL syntax questions.
i always try to help when i can and if i cant offer help i dont say
anything because that wasnt the way i was raised. it is rude.
rude is lying about 9-11 to the whole world, or invading a country
in order to boost your country's weapons & oil industry, or gang-raping
12yo's (dutch news)
those are rude - maybe a bit of relativity is in order sebastian.
at least if it was too "offtopic" for the list someone could of just
nicely said "ask on the mysql list" but that wasn't case.
anyway, consider this a done deal as you already received help.

take what other say with a grain of salt.. im sure you're using php
to pull info from mysql anyway..
And he might be using Apache on Linux like the majority of PHP
users. More than likely outputting some HTML and maybe some
JavaScript. Probably using a PC too. So what?
the fact is without mysql php would be nowhere where it is today..
its like peanut butter w/o the jelly..
The fact is, without IBM, PHP would be nowhere it is today. Say,
here's an idea, let's just make this the "IBM and anything which
relates to it" list.
see my reply in the other email.. im sure it will work for you.
I'll be sure to tell everyone on the MySQL list that they can shut

Not by me. They'll get the same response from the 'grumpy old men'

It was 'too offtopic'...and he's been around long enough to know that he
should ask MySQL questions on the MySQL list.

There is never any excuse for being rude. That said, there is considerable
value in keeping this (or any) mailing list ON TOPIC. There is also
considerable value for the end user to ask questions in relevant forums.
The original poster would likely have gotten enthusiastic and helpful
response from the MySQL list, whereas he got a generally cold response here.
Not because the list members here are rude, but because HE was rude to have
ignored generally known netiquette and posted the question anyway.

that said php5 is in my mind a great improvement - I really enjoy the new
OO functionality and speed increase bue to object referencing - that said I

the biggest gain in php6 will be transparent unicode support - that is awesome,
a really big plus - I'm crap at encoding et al and would really love it if

The thing that is probably going to push us from 4 to 5 or 6 will be
MySQL. We just hired a new CEO here who is very into advancing our
backend (to describe how much of a cluster-f**k it is would take twenty
emails). One of our moves in the next year or so will be moving from
MySQL 4.0 to 4.1 or greater.

Yeah, that will probably be a big gain for us in the future too. The
tiny bit of encoding we do is just merely a pain right now, but when we
branch out to selling to the rest of Europe (we just sell to the UK and
Canada outside of the US right now), the unicode support will come in
real handy.

I don't see the problem with this, unless it will be more difficult to
upgrade from PHP4 to PHP6, than from PHP5 to PHP6. What I mean is, will
upgrading to 5 now make the upgrade to 6 (or 7, or 9, or 11) easier in the
future. So 5 has no features that I need right now. 6 probably doesn't
either. But when PHP11 comes out and I must have it, will I be able to
easily upgrade from 4? Will I expend less time/effort/risk making each
upgrade as it is released that I would making a 5 version jump? Maybe its
worth the time and effort to upgrade even if I don't need the features in
the new release, just to make it easier to upgrade to the next one(s) down
the line.
Not only that, but as time goes by, community support (this list for
instance) for 4 will likely diminish as others move on to later releases.
Not only will the die-hard PHP4 users find it harder to get answers to their
questions, but their answers to others will become less relevant to
newer-version users.

A good parallel is what happened with Visual FoxPro and with PageMaker.
When VFP 3 came out it broke the mould of FoxPro development, and it was a
huge leap to adjust; product was not really mature and VFP 5 was great.
VFP6 was even better - but a leap from 3 to 6 was almost impossible because
so much had been changed in the interface and feature set.
At least MSFT is doing it properly now, and announcing that VFP10 will be
it, then no more.
PageMaker was worse, but it's so long ago now that my memory's faulty. I
think it was around PM3 or PM4 that the file format changed; if you had
the earlier version, PM4 and later could not read the older files, you had
to obtain a crippled version of PM3, which could only open the old version
and save in the new, and then work on those files in the newer version. Of
course a lot of stuff got busted.
And of course, there is Visual Basic - where development stopped at version
6 and a new .NET language, labelled "Visual Basic" was introduced. So much
stuff in VB 6 was broken that moving the code to the .NET language named
Visual Basic is well nigh impossible.
The problem with PHP 5 is that the ISP's have to be so conservative.
There's no tagging mechanism which says "process these files with PHP5, use
PHP 4 for everything else."
So, based on experience, better to move early than later. I suspect a jump
from PHP4 to PHP6 will be huge -- the problem is to move the ISPs.

Hi, folks. I've recently decided to use Manuel's Metabase instead of
ADOdb as ADOdb doesn't support transactions for MS Access, however I'm
getting the following error when running the sample code:
Fatal error: Class metabase_manager_odbc_class: Cannot inherit from
undefined class metabase_manager_database_class in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\etrakFE\classes\metabase\metabase_odbc.php on line 13
Obviously this means that the metabase_manager_odbc_class is being
defined before metabase_manager_database_class, thus throwing an error,
but the problem is I'm not calling this manually, and have used the
sample code exactly as it is in the manual.
Here's my code:
require("classes/metabase/metabase_database.php");
require("classes/metabase/metabase_interface.php");
$error=MetabaseSetupDatabaseObject(array("Type"=>"odbc-msaccess",
"IncludePath"=>"classes/metabase"), $db);
if($error!="") {
echo "Database setup error: $error\n";
exit;
}
$db->SetDatabase("etrakADB");
Does anyone have any idea why I might be getting this error? As I said
I'm using the sample code exactly as it is in the tutorial, and am not
calling the metabase_manager_odbc_class myself.
Cheers and TIA,
Pablo

I tried that code here with PHP 4.3.11 and it works perfectly.
Which version of PHP are you using?
Are you using any PHP cache extension like APC or another?
Metabase loads the class files by the right order but it is possible
that a buggy caching extension may be causing that problem.
You may also try loading the classes as workaround right after the
includes you make in your script:
require('classes/metabase/metabase_odbc.php');
require('classes/metabase/metabase_odbc_msaccess.php');
require('classes/metabase/manager_odbc.php');
require('classes/metabase/manager_odbc_msaccess.php');

Use an OS that either doesn't have an end-of-life for support, or which
can be upgraded to a new version without breaking everything.
I've used Redhat and Fedora, but will never use them for production
servers again -- after a couple years getting out-of-date, it becomes
next to impossible to find packages for them, and upgrading to a new
version almost always requires an attended install, and usually down
time.
Debian and Gentoo are very nice in that you can upgrade packages as they
become available, usually with no issues. You might also want to look
into one of the BSDs, as the ports system many of them employ also
allows seamless upgrades in most situations.

Hi Guys,
I am new to PHP coding but that is no excuse for the mess I am making here.
The ideal page for my needs is:

I could not make the CHECK BOX work in PHP page so tried in this HTM page.
I prints out part of the PHP code itself.

Ho John,
I put each check box with name & tried to get the values as I get of Name,
etc.
Somehow it didn't send that info so, now I tried to get the info of the
whole TABLE named "InterestedNumber"(which contains all check boxes)
<?
//////after all codes////
$mailBody .= "Full Name: $name\n";
...
$mailBody .= "Company Info: $Company Info\n";
$mailBody .= "Interested Numbers: $InterestedNumber\n";
$mailBody .= "Interested Area: $InterestedArea\n";
$mailBody .= "Comments: $comments\n\n\n";
$mailBody .= "$todaytime";
/////// THIS is where I put in the check box////
How ever the main problem for me is "Interested Numbers:
$InterestedNumber\n"; part where I have no clue what "\n" stands for OR why
is it repeated in the "Comments" section.
The page is http://www.primarywave.com/BrokerOutpost_Contact.htm you can
see the source code if you like.
Thanks a lot for the input,

values upon processing the form?

Ho John,
I put each check box with name & tried to get the values as I get of
Name, etc.
Somehow it didn't send that info so, now I tried to get the info of the
whole TABLE named "InterestedNumber"(which contains all check boxes)
<?
//////after all codes////
$mailBody .= "Full Name: $name\n";
...
$mailBody .= "Company Info: $Company Info\n";
$mailBody .= "Interested Numbers: $InterestedNumber\n";
$mailBody .= "Interested Area: $InterestedArea\n";
$mailBody .= "Comments: $comments\n\n\n";
$mailBody .= "$todaytime";
/////// THIS is where I put in the check box////
How ever the main problem for me is "Interested Numbers:
$InterestedNumber\n"; part where I have no clue what "\n" stands for OR
why is it repeated in the "Comments" section.
The page is http://www.primarywave.com/BrokerOutpost_Contact.htm you
can see the source code if you like.
Thanks a lot for the input,
C
The "\n" is just a new line.
Your checkboxes are all named things like "1-877-HOMECASH" and
"1-877-APPLY NOW", so '$InterestedNumber' isn't going to have any of
their values.
You probably want to move into the relm of array's. For each one of
your checkboxes, you can do this...
<input type="checkbox" name="InterestedNumber[]" value="1-877-HOMECASH">
<input type="checkbox" name="InterestedNumber[]" value="1-877-APPLY NOW">
So on, and so forth. By naming them in this way, it will pass the value
to your form processor as a numerical array of all the selected items.
When you want to process it, just loop thru the array.

Hi all,
I'm wondering what report generators or routines are out there. I've
not found anything worthwhile yet. What do you all use?
I have a couple sql database tables I'm outputting into a tabular
format. I'd like to find a system. My biggest issue is that some
reports go off the screen and truncate at print time.

That would be so wonderful. Just to be able to set what PHP .so to use
based on <VirtualHost/> or <Directory/> in Apache would be bliss. Under
Windows it's easier, of course, since you have specific configurations
for each virtual host in IIS.
I've tried running the CGI version of PHP5 on a PHP4 system, and of
course it works, but it's slower than molasses in January.

A lot of ISPs run some form of enterprise Linux, or it could be just a
control panel, that is dependent on the RPM version of PHP, which in
most cases is still stuck arond 4.3.x somewhere, except in those cases
where the ISP has taken the law in their own hands and compiled PHP from
scratch, overwriting the RPM version, and hoping that this will not
break anything too seriously when the control panel tries to upgrade
itself the next time. ;)
Others use scripts that are encoded with either IonCube or Zend, and are
thus forced to stay with PHP4 since their software vendor hasn't made
the leap yet. For instance, when encoding with Zend Encoder for PHP4,
you can get some pretty nasty errors when running under PHP5.
If the software vendors could make the leap RIGHT NOW and convert their
godforsaken software to PHP5 and release two versions since there'll
hardly be any difference in the code, we'd be a long way already. It's
all mostly related to the encoder in these cases, for instance Zend.
That's the way we do it with one of the applications I've written, it's
shipped both as PHP4 and PHP5 Zend encoded, as well as IonCube encoded.
Warm Regards,
Torgny

I have an application which uses imap_headerinfo() to query an NNTP server
and display some information as part of a web application. I am seeing a
difference between 4.3.11 and 4.4.0 when the e-mail address in the article
contains a spam block.
I get the following notice:
Notice: (null)(): Unterminated mailbox: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (errflg=3)
in Unknown on line 0
Notice: (null)(): Must use comma to separate addresses:
somedomain(dot.dot)com> (errflg=3) in Unknown on line 0
I am unable to suppress the notice either with error_reporting() or the @
operator.
Anyone else seeing anything similar? Any idea how to suppress the Notice?
The oddly formed e-mail address isn't something I use so I don't really care
how it is formatted but the IMAP library seems care enough to generate the
notices.
Thanks,
Mike

Make a phpinfo page, and load it thru your browser...
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Look for "PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) Support".
If it's not there, or not enabled, you won't be able to use those functions.

Hey guys,
I'm looking for the php_mssql.dll with api version: 20020429
Does anyone know where I can translate that to a version release in order to
find the release with that version dll or something?
Or have a resource for finding modules based on API version?
Regards,
Dan

But... now I get IIS complaining the CGI module hasn't returned a full set
of headers :(

I have a form that my visitors can email me from. Some jerk is trying
to fool the mail() function into sending his spam, and I got this
today:
<start asshole code>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"===============0110030565==\"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Subject: 7510b460

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

</start asshole code>
I just updated the code to stop this. I think that if anybody else has
a form that goes to the mail() function, they should learn from this
email and put up some code to block it.
