They usually use read only DBM like databases that do not have the
overhead or parsing SQL or doing joins to fetch the data.

Weel, I work as a consultant on development of a similar system for Italian
Government. (instead of Social Security numbers it handles all territoric
matters and related payments, ownershipd to it... etc ...). BTW: software is
interfaced via PHP.
In this database, we have over a few billions of records in some few
thousands databases hosted on some few hundreds servers physically located
in some few dozens of regions of Italy.
We use Oracle for it. And, neigher Oracle does magic here. The system is
deeply thought and organized in all its details. Nothing is left for "a
case" and everything is very well monitored and backed up. (not mentioning
the synchronization methods).
In my experience, mySQL has always failed performance-wise (when not crashed
complitely) while trying to keep on a database consisting of 1.000.000+
records.
For large DBs I would reccomend you PostgreSQL as it has, in my own opinion
(and not to start a new thread here) a better ralational mechanism, which is
crucial (as Manuel mentioned) to design the right logic within your
application.
TIP: look for repeating data in your DB, and try to "compress" it somehow.
Try to see if you can split and reuse the records. Add more supporting
tables and so on....

Generally search egines use various hash algorithms to store their data, such
as B-trees, Hash Tables, etc... Even that, is not enough when dealing with an
extremely large dataset, in which case expensive hardware is used to provide
the necessary IO capacity to allow for fast look ups. If you are trully
interested in how search engines do this, there are plenty of articles
describing Google's setup in terms of hardware.
As far as fetching data from large MySQL databases it is not impossible or
slow as some people claim. I have a 4 million record database in MySQL that
is routinely accessed and most queries on that table are completed in
0.01-0.03 seconds, speed mostly depending on the number of rows retrieved.
Keep in mind that your system and database configuration will play a very
large role in regard to performance once you go beyond a certain amount of
data.

Well, to answer my own question, I found a decent tutorial on using sessions
with the new register_globals off here:
http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/Languages/PHP/Maintaining_state/session_variab
les.html
Anyone want to share any tips on how to deal with form vars passed to a
script with register_globals turned off? Do you simply refer to them
directly with $_GET['var'] or do you initialize vars locally that contain
all the $_GET vars?
Thanks.

Well I usually choose to POST forms, not GET them, but yeah, I just deal
with the vars as $_POST['var'].
If I'm referencing the vars a LOT, I make regular $vars out of each element
in the POST array:
$myvar = $_POST['myvar'];
If there's a lot of them, I do it with a foreach loop... something like:
<?
foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
{
$$key = $value;
}
?>
...will do the trick. It achieves the same as register_globals, but only
from one source, the POST array.

Thanks for the tips, Justin. Sounds like a good idea.
Do you, or anyone, know if the $_POST vars stay defined even after moving on
to another page? Do I also need to unset $_POST after passing the vars each
time?

Use function explode, preg_split, split to split the text string.
$pieces = explode(" ", $address);
echo $pieces[0]; // will output 4455

Use strpos() to find the position of the first space then substr() to extract
from beginning to the space.

Knowing exactly where your variables are coming from ensures the integrity of
your code and protects it from malicious users feeding it bogus values.

Just use empty() ?!
With error_reporting(E_ALL) you'll get a bunch of warnings if you only use
empty() w/o the isset() !
use isset() first and then check wheter empty or not empty!
so there is not one function that tests for empty and isset same time!?

I always set error_reporting(E_ALL) oR error_reporting(2047), but i have never got any
errors when just use empty()
to determine whether a variable is set.
If the variable is: 0, null, not set or an empty string.
Then the empty() will return true.
It's unnecessary to call isset() first.

try doing this:

you will get a warning and have a FALSE value.

AFAIK, you compile it for Windows. I was also told that is a major headache.
Anyway, don't despair, it seems that some developers are working on
providing already compiled PECL extensions that can be automatically

The people for Zend have to eat to live.
People, if there is no Zend there is no core for PHP. This is the same as
with MySQL. MySQL is free under GPL
but has no subselects because the companies that has commercial licenses
didn't wanted that - Monty has
to eat and he codes other features.
IMO Zend must exist and this is only possible by selling its products.
If the company we work for has the money to buy Zend Accelerator licenses
why not do that instead of using
other Open Source accelerators. I just want the people from Zend to continue
their tremendous work and
we will have PHP5 and PHP6 and so on otherwise start learning ASP or JSP.
My 2 cents.

Andrey

And don't we all? That is the main problem. If we need to pay USD $3,000
to be able to compile our PHP programs, doesn't that make not viable for
most of us to sell our PHP programs as closed source?

If there is something that Zend people do not have a problem that is to
be able to eat from their work. Just recently they announced a USD
$300,000 deal, which where I live lets many eat for many years.
> IMO Zend must exist and this is only possible by selling its products.
I only agree with the first part. It is not true that selling products
is the only viable way for them to survive. Your MySQL example is good
because they have been leaving from consulting, training and certification.
> If the company we work for has the money to buy Zend Accelerator licenses
> why not do that instead of using
That is your decision. Zend people have publically declared that they
are targetting high-end customers. Their pricing obviously rules out the
majority of us for which their prices are simply unaffordable,
especially if you have to pay them over and over again if you want to
use them every year.
Since we are not idiots, if we have Open Source solutions that solve our
problem, why do you think that paying those fortunes to Zend would be a
better idea?
I think their business model makes sense to make their company viable,
but that should be at the expense of those that can't afford their
prices. Let those that believe that expensive software is a better
solution from them then Open Source, to make Zend company viable.
Also, Zend uses a subscription based licensing which is what Microsoft
is shifting their licenses too. I am not saying that is wrong, I just
say that it is not acceptable for most of us to stay in the dependence
of Zend to keep our software running every year. If you agree with the
licensing, it is your problem.

If you ask me, I see very little point in what you say. You just made it
sound as if Zend people are the only ones working on the development of PHP.
The way I see it PHP lacks mostly of extensions that address real world
problems of many people like: interfacing with Web services via SOAP,
compiling PHP scripts to protect so we can generate closed source
standalone executables, multi-threading support, generating GUI
applications, interfacing with the user management and authentication
system, etc..
Zend people are not working on anything like this as they don't agree it
is important for PHP or for their business that is all that matters to them.
As a matter of fact the only thing that Zend people have been working on
PHP itself is Zend engine 2. Last time that I looked, Zend engine 2 is
mostly a thing that was developed to make PHP more like Java. If I
wanted that, I would probably be using Java instead. I am afraid that is
only helping to remember more and more users to switch to Java.
> My 2 cents.
Actually that should be worth many times USD $3,000... for Zend of
course. :-)

Everyone understands that Zend has to eat, but so do most of us small
developers. I have no problem with them charging for their products. IMO
they would make more money if the pricing for the encoder would be less.
This is a fundamental feature that most of us need. I would offer a Pro
version of the Zend Studio and bundle the encoder with it for abou $500.
This would enable Zend to capture a significant market share among PHP
developers withoug breaking the bank.
Just a thought...

There is a free php accelerator so I don't know why you would pay for one.
www.php-accelerator.co.uk
The same guy (Nick) has also just made an encoder. It is in beta testing
right now and there's no windows version yet but that should be coming soon.
I think it's like $0.50 to encode your program which is much more
affordable.
http://www.php-encoder.com
I think the problem with zend is that they have put up the guise that php is
an opensource project but to actually use it in production you had to pay
several thousands every year for the accelerator and the encoder. It kinda
feels like a bait and switch to me which is why I personally think zend is
bad for php. Just do a search for jobs for asp, cf or jsp. There are a ton
of jobs for these languages and you would be lucky to find one for a php
developer. So zend rakes in the money and does no real marketing with that
money for php is the way I see it.
You'll never hear anything from the core php group since they are a tight
click so it's business as usual. Now that Nick has released the free
accelerator and an inexpensive ($0.50 per shot) encoder it might change but
I don't know if it's too late.

They can CHMOD their files to whatever they like, so security is really up

include() can return a value, assignable to a variable. Some other ways to
get the content of a file (I assume that's why you're saying "include")
into a variable: file(), fread().
eval() can execute the value of a variable as PHP code.

Hi there,
I am searching for a way to track advertisment, clickrates on my site. So I
tryed out phpadsnew http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpadsnew/
Unfortunatelly the current beta 7 works only with register globals set to
on. I cant install it in this case, because my application requires this to
be off.
Has anybody a good recomendation on another software to track adds?

You can track ads with phpAdsNew also remotely, not necessarily via

Hi,
I am am writing a function to color code and indent JavaScript source using
regular expressions and cannot seem to get back referencing working. The
pattern match is successful but the output is a single unrecognised
character (a square).
$string = eregi_replace("<(/?)(scr[^>]*)>", "«font color=maroon»\1«/font»",
$string);
This results in opening and closing <script></script> tags being replaced
with a square being wrapped in font tags. I have this working in Cold Fusion
but cannot seem to convert my scripts to PHP. Can anyone help?
TIA

If you're trying to get <script>Lots of javascript</script> to look like
<font color="maroon">Lots of javascript</font> then this will be a start
$string = eregi_replace('<(/?)(scr[^>]*)>', '<\\1font
color="maroon">',$string);
This will produce - <font color="maroon">Lots of javascript</font
color="maroon"> - not perfect, but a start.

What's strange is that doing an ord($string) returns 171, which is a '1/2'
