You raise an interesting point. Whilst PHP uses the Zend Engine it is the
only Zend product in use as far as I know. Zend have an array of other
commercial products that are built with PHP, but are no different than
any other commercial venture.
Being that these products are commercial in nature, should not they
be supporting thier own products, rather than relying on the good
will of the open source/PHP folks for tech support? If we should support
Zend products, why not other commercial applications also?
Is Zend hoping for volunteer contributions for commercial enterprises?
Should we support Zend business partners also?
Kind regards
Kevin
Kevin:
You raise obvious points, which few would disagree -- we shouldn't be expected
to be the free support for a commercial product. However, if a php developer
is looking for other developers who may have had similar experiences with Zend,
or Apache, or whatever as it relates to php, is this not the forum for those
types of questions?
Again, just wondering where to draw the line.

Hello:
I have a directory on a server that has php code that creates and
writes to directories as such; /tiles_.*/.
Each directory with a matching name has graphics files written to it.
i'm trying to write a script the will
eliminate the graphics files and the directories they are in
(tiles_.*). The present code is:
?php
function prune()
{
$f = 0;
$pat = 'tiles_.*';
$view = array();
$t = array();
$str = '';
$start = opendir('.');
//printHello???br; debug code
while($lst = readdir($start))
{
if(ereg($pat, $lst))
{
$t[$f] = $lst;
$str .= $t[$f].'br'; //debug code
}
$f++;
}
rewind($start);
closedir($start);
//print $str; debug codethe array $t has all valid
values at this point.
for($f = 0; $f count($t); $f++)
{$tmp = $t[$f];
chdir($tmp);
$dir = opendir($tmp);
$r = 0;
while($i = readdir($dir))
{
@unlink($i);
$r++;
};
rewind($dir);
closedir($dir);
unset($dir);
chdir('../');
rmdir($tmp);
}
}
prune();
?
The problem is that each time the for loop tries to chdir to an array
$t item, errors regarding invalid resources and none existent files are
generated.
If I use chdir('./'.$tmp) and opendir('./'.$tmp) the code removes all
the files in the directory the script is located in, including the
script file itself.
So, I am thinking that, in this case, the directories aren't even
changed when the @unlink() line is reached and unlink() only sees the
current
directory files and not included directories, and removes everything
that isn't a directory.
Here is a sample of the errors generated:
Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2)
in (path)/prune.php on line 30 // (all resources used based on this are
invalid)
and;

Re: [PHP] Zend Studio, phpMyAdmin, and mysql.sock
PHP List, My apologies to any and all that I may have offended for bringing up Zend specific issues here. I understand that PHP is developed by a huge community of developers whose efforts I appreciate very much. By stating that Zend is the company where PHP originates, I was not trying to state that they have any obligation to handle Zend Studio issues here on this list, or that this list is obligated to deal with Zend issue, or that their development contributions should eclipse the greater community. I was only surprised by the initial response which seemed to me to be a very hard line stance against any Zend related questions. Please understand that I was *hoping* for advice here, as Zend and PHP are surely highly correlated. But I apologize if I came across as if I *expected* answers. The original issue that caused me to post here has now definitely turned into a PHP issue, which I will encapsulate in a different posting from this apology. So, if issues of Zend can be put aside, I'd like to seek advice on how to get my local PHP 5 installation working again. Thanks to all members of this list for continuing to make PHP a great scripting language, and for making this list a great source of support. -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Zend Studio, phpMyAdmin, and mysql.sock
PHP List, As was suggested on this list by Paul and Richard, I've resolved the Zend studio/MySQL socket issue by creating a symbolic link from /tmp/mysql.socl to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. ( ln -s /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock ) But, clearly in my earlier attempts to find a solution, I've munged up my php.ini file or something, because now not only does phpMyAdmin not connect, no PHP script that I run locally will work. To resolve this, I tried to retrace my steps and put everything back the way it was. I also reinstalled MySQL, PHP, and phpMyAdmin from the Ubuntu repositories using apt-get. Despite these efforts, whatever it is that I've done to mess up my system remains in place. When I start a PHP script that calls upon MySQL, I get the following error: Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /web_sites/web/db_fns.php on line 6. So far as I can remember, the only places I made edits were in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini, and /etc/mysql/my.cnf. In /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini, here is what the relevant section looks like now: - - - - - - - - - ; Default port number for mysql_connect(). If unset, mysql_connect() will use ; the $MYSQL_TCP_PORT or the mysql-tcp entry in /etc/services or the ; compile-time value defined MYSQL_PORT (in that order). Win32 will only look ; at MYSQL_PORT. mysql.default_port = 3306 ; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, uses the built-in ; MySQL defaults. mysql.default_socket = - - - - - - - - - My understanding of the above is that if the socket variable is left empty, it should go with the MySQL default. I have tried specifying mysql.default_socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock and mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock, but that hasn't helped. As for /etc/mysql/my.cnf, it says: - - - - - - - - - [mysqld] pid-file= /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock - - - - - - - - - I am unsure where to look to diagnose this problem further. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you. -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Brand new to the list, so here's my question. I am implementing a bunch
of Dreamweaver templates a designer has built into a PHP app, and one
thing she did is create a submit button (image) that uses mouse over JS:
a href=user.php?req=login target=_top
onMouseOver=MM_swapImage('signin','','/theme/images/admin/button_signin2.gif',1)
onMouseOut=MM_swapImgRestore()img
src=/theme/images/admin/button_signin.gif alt=Sign In name=signin
width=86 height=20 border=0/a
But notice this is an href, and it also needs to submit $_POST data
through a couple of form fields that appear above. So what I tried to do
in order to be able to retrieve the POST data on the receiving end was
convert it to the following:
input type=image src=/theme/images/admin/button_signin.gif
onfocus=MM_swapImage('signin','','/theme/images/admin/button_signin2.gif',1)
onblur=MM_swapImgRestore()
...However, the onfocus and onblur are not swapping out the images, as I
had hoped. (Against all odds, maybe I should add.)
Ok, so you've already had the this is not a JS list reply, so I won't
bother with that, but... Have you ever considered the possibility that
onmouseover and onmouseout work in an input element? Have you tried
looking up the purpose of onfocus and onblur which would have told you
it's not what you need?
This has been your RTFM reply. We hope you enjoyed your PHP-General
experience.

Re: [PHP] strange behavior
$i only has the name of the FILE in it, not the whole path.
You need to provide the full path to unlink() to make this work right.
In theory, you could manage to provide just the relative path from the
current working directory, but, honestly, 99% of the time, a FULL PATH
is just easier to figure out.
