I am doing the same thing at the moment,
I'm building a Flash/PHP/MySQL chat system capable of handling over 1000
users online at one time.
GET and POST just doesn't cut it, so I began to explore other avenues, and
XML Socket's seem like the best and only option. But I expect to burn the
midnight oil on this one.

Use xmlReceiver to trigger the back end PHP script. Have that script
generate XML which you parse in Flash. Plain text will work, but a single
quotation mark in the text sends you off to never never land. Here's an
example:
xmlReceiver.load( "http://"; + host + "feed_xml_article.php");
I know it's not a socket, but it's plenty fast.

PS What good would a socket to PHP do, anyway? (I probably just revealed my
ignorance!) /mt

Normally I would simply read in a text file/read XML/send data with GET or

1) I want a fast connection
2) I'm looking at this as a challenge, because it doesn't seem like anyone

As the subject says, I posted this bug report on the official php bugs
page http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26950 and have now changed my
storing of user information to use cookies as such:
setcookie("cookie_auth_memberID", $row['id'], time()+604800,'/');
setcookie("cookie_auth_Username", $frmUsername, time()+604800,'/');
setcookie("cookie_auth_Password", $frmPassword, time()+604800,'/');
setcookie("cookie_auth_Group", $row['membergroup'], time()+604800,'/');
However anyway, on displaying my PHPSESSIONID in Internet Explorer 6, I
am now noticing that on the refresh of any page (by clicking on any
internal site link) the PHPSESSIONID is changing!???? This doesn't
happen in Mozilla or Opera, any ideas folks?
Top of each page looks like such:
session_save_path("/home/tazonlin/webs/www.planet-tolkien.com/sessions")
;
session_start();

The only thing i have experienced is if you are calling session_start
twice ?
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Nope, calling it once. For some odd reason as I have detailed here
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26950 IE is loosing all it's cookie data
on different clicks around the website. A piece at a time, however MOZ
and Opera are fine.

try removing the dot and /

if (is_file("filedir/test.txt")) echo "Found it!";
else echo "Not found";
that should work on windows and unix platforms, i dont think windows likes
the single dot, but you can use relative referencing, by just using the
directory name.

Looks fine to me...
$test == $test2: $test is not an empty string and thus evaluates to
true.
$test == $test3: $test is converted to an integer to compare against
$test3. Conversion of $test to integer results in 0,
which happens to be equal to $test3
You should read the section on type juggling.

ok, i read the section, but even so
if $a == $b
and $a == $c
then $b should be equal to $c
but php is saying otherwise?
this sounds confusing i want to try n get my head round it
a string equals a integer of zero, and a string equals true, but the reason
the bool doesnt equal the int is because when the string and int are
compared, the string is zero (because it has no numerical value)?
did that make sense? am i right?

No this is not true, since types conversions can be different between a
and b, a and c or between b and c. If you want the above logic to be
true then you must use === for equality based on type also.

PHPis following the rules of type conversion which are not necessarily
commutative (hope that's the right term).

A non-numeric string equals 0 by the rules of string to integer type
conversion (that's not entirely true since I think the first numerical
portion is the part converted as per atoi()).
> and a string equals true, but the reason
A non empty string equals true according to the rules of string to
boolean type conversion, unless (I think) the string is '0'.

You are talking about bool, string and int with respect to a bool-int
equality check. This is confusing, only two values can be compared. From
what hat did you pull the string?
> did that make sense? am i right?
You didn't make sense :)

Rob.

Hmm after all this time, are you saying its best to use === instead of
==
in any application ?
[/snip]
For strings, yes. And you should also re-order the question ...
if("NFH" === $EA)
Why, you ask? Because this will prevent possible assignment errors. If
you accidentally type
if($EA = "NFH")
NFH gets assigned to $EA and is true...you might not see the error until
quite a bit later. However if you accidentally type
if("NFH" = $EA)
an error will get thrown right away.

I'm trying to install IRCG as an extension to my Apache 2 PHP server running
on Windows XP. Trouble is IRCG for windows comes as a standalone package,
that doesn't seem to load in as an extension to php declaired in php.ini.
I've typed in all the extensions but i continue to get an error for each dll
that the module can not be found.
Has anyone installed IRCG as an extension for windows?

Yeah, i think i mentioned the same thing(or was going to :/ )
you should be able to use the local filesystem, and reffer to it relatively!
and then you can stream it and you wont need any authentication, and noone
will be able to directly link to the file

Assuming a database table:
1) query database
2) format results into a nice string
3) mail() it

Yes.

CGI or CLI? I'm betting on the latter because I'm not aware of any
feature a script could require that is only provided by the PHP
executable and not the module. In which case you can have both the
module and the CLI version running at the same time.

I have a FORM for entering data into a DB.
I use:
...
...
if ($_POST['submit'] == 'Register') {
...
code for INSERT into DB.
This works OK, but if I REFRESH the page, it duplicates the "dataset" in
the table.
How can I reset $_POST['submit'] so it don't make this happen?

Hi
What is the primary key in your tble? Using tht primary key check for duplicate
entry... Theres no way u can change the posted data ... so even if u reset
$_POST['submit'] after the insert operation is done, next time u refresh it will be
set and hence will duplicate...so check for duplicate entries urself only based on
primary key or unique values in ur table.
Hope this helps

You can use a token to check if a form has been sent before...
<?
class formReload {
var $tokenarray = '__token';
var $tokenname = '__token';
function createToken()
{
$tok = md5(uniqid("mytoken"));
return sprintf("<input type='hidden' name='%s'
value='%s'>",$this->tokenname,htmlspecialchars($tok));
}
function easyCheck()
{
$tok = $_REQUEST[$this->tokenname];
if (isset($_SESSION[$this->tokenarray][$tok]))
{
return false;
}
else
{
$_SESSION[$this->tokenarray][$tok] = true;
return true;
}
}
}
?>

Or,
After you've dumped the data into the DB, issue a header('location:
/path/to/script');
This will also solve the problem of IE saying "are you sure you want to
resend the form data".

You can replace {0,1} with a question mark and [0-9] with \d (digit).
Also, and I
think this is not in the PHP documentation, you can use POSIX
character classes
inside the brackets. If you want to match alphabetical characters
including
the Swedish and various other international ones like æ or ü, you can
use [:alpha:].
You may not need it in this example, but it's excellent for
internationalized regex matching.
if (preg_match('/^([[:alpha:]]{2,3})(\d{4,5}(\-\d{1,2})?)$/i',
Have been playing around a bit with this code, but I can't get it to
work with international characters… For example, if I feed my function:
function split_bokid($bokid)
{
if
(preg_match('/^([a-zåäö]{2,3})([0-9]{4,5}(\-[0-9]{1,2}){0,1})$/
i',$bokid,$m='')) {
return $m;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
returns, with the following code:
$test = split_bokid("ääö123");
echo $test[1];
echo $test[2];
the values:
ŠŠš
12345
So, is there any way I can set the encoding on the incoming values,
which will come from url's and databases, so that they don't fuck up?

Hi,
I want to use the mcrypt module and I followed the instructions to install the dll for
Win32 users :
I copied the libmcrypt.dll file under c:\winnt\system32
I uncommented the "extension=php_mcrypt.dll" in the php.ini
I restarted the computer
I tried many examples available in the Net. The result is always the same :
I can crypt a plain text but I cannot Uncrypt that text. Do you see any potential
reason to this?
I guess this problem is related to my computer / configuration...

It seems they changed the name of the deinit function in windows, use
mcrypt_generic_end($td);
instead of
mcrypt_generic_deinit($td);
