Incidentally, does anyone know how this would be achieved on IIS? We've got a site at work that's running off a CMS I knocked up, but they'd prefer the URLs to look proper, without the query string. On IIS, the default document(s) are set on the server. If index.php is not in the default

That wasn't what I was asking. I meant is there an equivalent to mod-rewrite for IIS? No. At least nothing simple and free. Run a Google search for mod_rewrite iis and you will see what I mean. -- Crash Committed to the search for intraterrestrial intelligence. -- PHP General Mailing List

I have a series of questions. How do I count the number of br / 's in a string? How do I add text in the middle of a string, let's say after the 3rd br /? If all you want to do is count the number of line breaks, then the substr_count function that Micah recommends will do the job. I

I think Richard Heyes was working on some of these, actually. Not positive if it was plotting or just display, though. If you check the archives, you might find something. I'm CC'ing him personally, too. Here's one link of his I have from memory:

I learned through osmosis that I could use the '@' sign to prevent an error with an uncertain variable. For example, if there is no $_GET[] value in this line, $query=$_GET[q]; I will get an error, but if I prefix the value with '@', [EMAIL PROTECTED]q]; and no value is available, a null

You might use http://www.php.net/reserved.variables SERVER_ADDR to get the address of the host you are running under if you wanted to access it from PHP only. Ah, but there is a catch. If you looked at my snapshot, you saw that there are two addresses, and the server address will not

Hope this isn't overkill but it is a module (read COM, or VBA module) to manipulate the registry: Overkill is a massive understatement. :-) As noted elsewhere in this thread, I got what I wanted by using the PHP exec command to execute a VB script, which has all the registry access I need.

I want to convert some ASP pages to PHP to go along with a transition from IIS to Apache. One of the ASP script functions involves reading data from the Windows registry. How does one read from the registry with PHP? Also, is it possible to use ActiveX objects with PHP? The above mentioned script

PHP is server-side and cannot read client side info. You would need to use something client-side, like JavaScript. JavaScript cannot read the registry either. It's a security thing. ASP is also server side and the registry I want to read is on the server platform. I am not trying to read the

I can't think of anything that a PHP app is going to need access to the registry for, so I'm trying to verify that there actually is a need for him to access the registry and/or use ActiveX via PHP. I'm guessing that he doesn't need to at all. I don't _need_ it for anything in the scripts or

The bad news is that there are no intrinsic PHP functions for accessing the registry and my third party registry object is not a compatible COM object. The good news is that I can run an external VBS script with the Exec command that does everything I want and feeds the results back to the PHP
