I believe we just discussed this for the past 2 or 3 days....I have an
ingenious idea. Read the mailing lists archive.

I don't want to get into this debate too much, but from what little I read
when it was going on earlier this past week, people who seemed to complain
the most are the ones using Outlook. Seems like Outlook isn't mailing list
friendly.
To get more/accurate info, look at the archives from earlier this past week...

Thanks very much to all,
Ok, I understand now.. so I need to install php as a
cgi oppose to the module apache.
Do you have some good page that can help me to
configure and compile correctly the php as cgi?
Thanks in advance,
Kisses,

Breakup your calculation into little steps to see where your error lies. Have
to tried entering the above calculation into a real calculator? I believe
your problem is that you cannot log() a negative number.

Hi,
I'm designing my site to use drop down menus, and am having php
generate the content of the main manus, as well as the sub-menus.
What I'm wondering is what the performance hit will be with putting
all the menu variables into an array in a config file vs storing the
info in a MySQL table, and retriving the data from there.
...[snipped]...
Instead of "generating" the menu(s) each time, why not create a static
[HTML] file which you can "call" by using file_get_contents() or
something and just "insert" it where it's needed?
Just an idea...
And a better idea it is. That's what I get for thinking I have to
'program' everything. Thanks!

Hi all,
In my php.ini file, file_uploads value is set to OFF. Hence stopping HTTP_UPLOAD
functionlaity.
But in my script i am turning it On using ini_set("file_uploads","1") but still it
doesn't upload the file.
I don have access to modify the php.ini file hence trying to play with script only.
Though manual says u can't set the value of file_uploads in the script, but its
getting set (looked in phpinfo()).
Why this is happening ... and if it is getting set why HTTP_UPLOAD doesn't work.
Thanks in advance

If the docs say it doesn't work then it probably doesn't work. Chances
are it's being set in the PHP code when you use ini_set() but not in
PHP's core where it counts.

Rob.

Hello all PHP gurus
I have a small problem about loading fonts with imageloadfont()
I have copyed fonts with the extension .fon or .ttf to the same directory as
my script, and i give them the font as an argument:
$font = imageloadfont('arial.ttf');
But i just keep getting the message:
Warning: imageloadfont(): Error reading font in c:\program files\apache
group\apache\htdocs\gd_test.php on line 35
Does anyone know how to properly load fonts into gd, without getting this
error message?

According to the manual it appears to support UTF-8, but it complains loudly
about not supporting MBCS when invoked?
"Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! " ....
Will html_entity_decode produce output in UTF-8 when e.g. invoked like this:
$a="Zürich, \"klonk\" æ 'å' ";
$b=html_entity_decode( $a, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8" );
It seems to default to ISO-8859-1?
thanks

I'm creating an application for an Intranet that, among other things, is
supposed to check to see if particular hosts are online, and if so, what
their IP address is. Anyone know how I can accomplish this? I tried
using exec("host $host"); (where $host is the hostname) and while this
gets the IP it gets the IP address sometimes even if the host is not
active, because a DNS record for the system still exists. I also looked
into the gethostbyname() function, but that has similar problems to
using the external host command. I also tried to use an external ping
command (ping -c 1 $host), and while I could get that to work, since it
returns non-zero status if the host can not be contacted, it takes quite
a while to execute for even a few hosts at once.
Anyone ever do this king=d of thing before or have any suggestions on
what might work?

That still takes a little while to execute on multiple hosts, Plus I
need to modify the output of the command to print just the IP address
and discard the rest of the output.

My bad, didn't read closely enough.
It's not likely to be able to do this fast, ef you only want it to query
when asked. You may want to look into a monitoring solution like NOCOL.

1) If you're first checking to see if it's alive and second checking for
its IP address you are, IMHO, doing it backwards :-)
2) It sounds like you're rewriting BigBrother. Check out bb4.com for
info. It absolutely rocks and I wouldn't run a real site[1] without it.
3) At the very least, cut your ping timeout down to the smallest
acceptable; in general, a full second is plenty of time to get nearly
anywhere on your continent (ain't it great? :-) and so your intranet
should be more than happy with that allowance.
4) I know that BB has already beaten this problem, so you should also
check there, but there may be a way to ping numerous hosts at once
(netping or such). Try some googling. If nothing else, I know that you
could whip up a perl script which will fork the load and then run them in
parallel and could return the live/dead/notfound results; I don't think
that php has forking.
[1] My house must therefore by definition not be a real site, but it
aspires to be -- and shall whenever I can find some unallocated time :-)

I'm working on some database search ranking code. It currently
represents 95-98% of the time spent when doing fuzzy seaches. I have
tried my best to optimize my code - algorithmic shortcuts, eliminating
session variables, unsetting irrelevant results, etc and benchmarking
to find the best techniques. That's given me over a 10x improvement.
Unfortunately, because of the number of results it must process (up to
20,000), it is still somewhat slow. I think it could use some code
structure/formating tweaks to eek out that last bit of performance, but
I don't know much about optimizing PHP code in that way. Does anybody
have suggestions?
Also, might there be some tweaks for PHP itself to improve performance?
I already know about the Zend Optimizer and have it installed, it does
help.
Thanks!
Here's my code:
if ($search_results[0]["relevancy"] == "")
{
function cmp($a, $b)
{
if($a["relevancy"] < $b["relevancy"])
{
return 1;
}
elseif($a["relevancy"] > $b["relevancy"])
{
return -1;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}
$search_statements = $_SESSION["search"]["statements"];
foreach($search_results as $key1 => $value1)
{
$num_fields_matched = 0;
$result_score = 0;
$metaphone_ratio = 0;
foreach($search_statements as $key => $value)
{
if ($value != "" AND $value1[$key] != $value)
{
$value = strtolower(trim($value));
$value1[$key] = strtolower(trim(($value1[$key])));
$num_fields_matched++;
$value_metaphone = metaphone($value1[$key]);
$search_metaphone = metaphone($value);
$search_position = strpos($value1[$key], $value);
$string_count = substr_count($value1[$key], $value);
$levenshtein = levenshtein($value, $value1[$key], "0.5", 1, 1);
if ($search_metaphone == $value_metaphone AND $value_metaphone !=
"")
{
$metaphone_ratio = 1;
}
elseif ($search_metaphone != 0)
{
$metaphone_ratio = 0.6 * (1 / levenshtein($search_metaphone,
$value_metaphone));
}
$result_score = $result_score + ($levenshtein + (8 *
$search_position)) - (2 * ($string_count - 1)) - (1.1 *
$metaphone_ratio * $levenshtein);
}
elseif ($value1[$key] == $value)
{
$result_score = $result_score - 5;
}
}

Hi Brona,
Not only has this been discussed in great detail, it is also a useless
argument. Rasmus has already given the definitive stance.
In short, we will not be mangling the Reply-To header in the way you
suggest. It violates standards and is just wrong. The Reply-To header is
set by the sender, and it is where the sender wants replies to the message
sent. If you can't figure out how to use email correctly, ask for help
about that (the "Reply All" button might be worth trying first), but don't
suggest breaking things and describing it as "fixing" something.
No amount of arguing is going to change anything. This list is maintained
by extremely competent people who are not going to be swayed by uninformed
opinions. If you disagree with the way this list is maintained (at least
in terms of issues that have obviously been raised before), you should
probably find somewhere else to ask questions.
