you're passing the PHPSESSID incorrectly, it seems
you must do something like this:
A HREF=nextpage.php??=SID?
or
header(Location: nextpage.php?$SID);
what you're doing now will go to page input.php?=SID
instead of input.php?938sa9fa98f7daf987a9s (or similar)

Has anyone come across this before?
// compare 5 to the max value of an integer
if (5 -2147483647) {
print This is;
}
// knock a digit off the max and compare again
if (5 -214748364) {
print weird;
}

Subject: [PHP] Variable name declarations?
However, I do have one complaint about PHP that seems to have a tendency to
bite me far too often, and that is the lack of variable declaration. While
I do not think the
run 'make clean'
find out where your current PHP stuff is *now*.
use that directory as --prefix=[dir] for the configure script.
make; make test; make install;
then, restart apache. always do this whenever you make
any changes to anything even remotely apache-related.

link to the mail form like this:
mailform.php?subject=Requesting+information+on
and in the mailform, have a subject field something
like this:
INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=subject VALUE=?= $subject ?

Subject: [PHP] php mail
a partial suggestion would be to try an fopen() on the
HTTP_REFERER if it was a static document like .html or .txt
but if someone is being redirected from a CGI script or
dyanmic page of any sort, it'll be virtually impossible
to find out exactly where they came from and if that
page is
and to answer one of the previous questions,
yes... it is *very* resource intensive to scan an entire
directory tree full of files every single time a user
wants to search
as far as i know, htdig indexes the information into one
big file, and just reads thru that... which will save you
i manage the production mysql database on a linux server
from my windows desktop at work
it's an extremely nice program. :)
many compliments to the authour, if he reads this list.
