So I made a cron jop to copy the log to the web folder every 5 minutes. That worked fine. It seems that php can't read the /var/log/httpd folder without root perms.

Re: Fwd: [PHP] php not reading file properly
You can change the permissions on the file, which I believe you said you did. If that didn't work, it must be because you are trying to read from the file at the very same instant that Apache is writing to it logging that you are trying to access it, if that makes sense?

Re: [PHP] Quick question regarding getcwd() and directory location.
Thanks for the reply Micah but i have no interest in the URL. I am looking for the servers local path to the directory. (example: /var/www/directory/ or C:\apache\htdocs\directory\) Also the HTTP_REFERER is empty unless you are linked in from another location. And then it gives you the URL you came from. Ólafur Waage. 2008/8/22 Micah Gersten [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Once you tell apache to load /example/index.php, that's where you are. You might try looking at the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'].

I inhereited an application when I came to work at my current job where the developer used an INT(11) mysql column type for zipcodes. Its turned things into a nightmare. We pulll quotes based off distance and calculate that off zip codes. First I found that there are some 4 digit zip codes in other counties, and shipping from Ohio to New Jersey quotes were coming up as thousands of miles and thousands of dollars, when they shouldn't have. Then there was the announcement of expanding into Canada. Then came digging thru all the code trying to redo how zip codes are happening, and ultimately its lead to a rewrite of the system.

secondly if you wanted to throw an exception for a missing config file in
your app, which would you choose? if you ask me only Exception is really
correct in this instance, but it's not very descriptive is it.
the last five in the list are only handy if you use those extensions, and
then only in terms of catching.
anyone actually using these built-ins in their work?
I've been using the php5 exception try/catch feature for several months and
find it most useful. e.g.,
try
{
$flagsArray = getHideAndMarkFlagsFromPost(); //Get the records flagged
mark and hide
$recordsArray = getRegistryTable();
$userDataArray = $recordsArray[$flagsArray['marks'][0]];
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
$errorMsg = $e-getMessage();
}
In my getHideAndMarkFlagsFromPost() function, I have:
if(empty($flagsArray)) throw new Exception(No records were flagged);
For your missing config file, simply use something like:
if(!file_exists('foo') throw new Exception(Config file missing);
return $file-string; // or whatever.

Ash Ash: If you have ever worked in another country where bribes are the way of getting things done, you'll quickly see that those types of things are not as farfetched as one might think. Hell, I've even had to pay bribes in this country (USA) to local government officials to be able to work. Of course, they called it something else, such as fees, taxes, bonds, overtime, or contributions, but it was still Pay me or I won't allow you to work. The difference here is only in magnitude. You see, I was confronted with conducting literally millions of dollars of oil and gas exploration in Nigeria. The last project I worked on was over 22 million dollars (in my other life, I'm a Geophysicist -- see http://geophysics.com). My client was approached with lifting oil as part of their payment. The term lifting is simply selling you oil for less than the going price and therein you get payment when you resale. The practice not unheard of and ranges in the 20-50 million dollar transactions. In any event, Nigerian officials provided documents claiming that they could deliver provided that a US Corporation would participate -- that's how I got into it. However, when I demanded up-front money, the deal dissolved. I didn't think that much of it because many of these overseas official types are easily offended when you question their word. It wasn't until years later that we started hearing that these types of deals as being Nigerian scams. I think it was WC Fields who said You can't cheat an honest man and that might have been the case here.

I have a directory structure of: /var/www/example/ And in that i have a file: index.php That file echo's getcwd() and returns: /var/www/example/ Now i tell Apache or Lighty that if a directory does not have an index.php file, that it should use /example/index.php (for example via DirectoryIndex of Apache) Then i make a new directory: /var/www/test/ And browse to it and it echo's /var/www/example/ since its running that file via DirectoryIndex This is true for all directories i make. Both for Windows and Linux based servers. To my question. I am trying to get the full path of the current directory i am in. Not from where the file is executing. How is that possible so it displays a full path to that directory (regardless to the server setup)? I have tried a variation of things and have gotten mixed results. Using $_SERVER[SCRIPT_FILENAME] gives me the index file and the full path to that. $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT] gets me part of the way but on a hosted server with multiple domains it only gives me a partial path (rough example: /var/www/ when the directory is /var/www/domain.com/test/) And __FILE__ gives me the index.php's path. I have also tried realpath(.); And server(pwd); with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

When I'm looking for candidates to determine stuff like this I usually do print_r( $_SERVER ) and see what's what.

Re: [PHP] Sorting Arrays

I'm having a problem sorting my array and wondered if anybody had experience
sorting arrays by their values. What I need to do is resort the array below
where the most expensive product shipping price starts at position zero no
matter how big the array is.
array(2) {
[0] = array(48) {
[product_id] = string(2) 34
[product_name] = string(29) Bears Ball Cap
[product_ordered_size] = string(5) ADULT
[product_sales_price] = string(8) 11.90
[product_shipping_price] = string(4) 7.85
[product_shipping_extra] = string(4) 0.06

[1] = array(48) {

[product_name] = string(21) Baldwin L Grand Piano
[product_ordered_size] = string(5) Grand

[product_shipping_extra] = string(6) 450.00
}

Everything can be done with three custom lines of code, the rest is PHP
existing function calls.

Example #3 Sorting database results
I expanded your list below and randomly added some data... Anyways,
replace my $ar array definition with your array and you should be good
to go. One question though, is this coming from a DB? If so, why not
do the sorting in the SQL call instead of PHP? Just a thought.
plaintext?php
$ar = array(
array(
product_id = 34,
product_name = Bears Ball Cap #34,
product_ordered_size = ADULT,
product_sales_price = 11.90,
product_shipping_price = 7.85,
product_shipping_extra = 0.06,
),
array(
product_id = 35,
product_name = Baldwin L Grand Piano #35,
product_ordered_size = Grand,
product_sales_price = 11671.90,
product_shipping_price = 51.00,
product_shipping_extra = 450.00,
),
array(
product_id = 36,
product_name = Baldwin L Grand Piano #36,
product_ordered_size = Grand,
product_sales_price = 11671.90,
product_shipping_price = 500.00,
