There is no such button in the Evolution version I am using, but Ctrl+L 
works just as well.

I prefer to read this list as an nntp newsgroup on news.php.net.

thanks for your reply.

i think i have know the reason now.

the CGI version of php is not built by default,we MUST add
"--enable-cgi" to configure explicitly.

I believe they each have certain formats as well, i.e. the way that data
is stored on them. So data stored on a DVD would be laid out in a
different filesystem to a CD with the same data.

That's because you havn't stored any keywords in the DB! You've stored
the word 'Array'. Have you actually looked at the data with phpMyAdmin
at all?

Outlook is a pita sometimes. At my last job I just used Evolution and
connected over the OWA, as at the time I had to use my own laptop
because of a lack of computers available.

I believe Dan Brown mentioned a very good reason why this is not as
simple an issue as just changing the reply-to. Not everyone who posts to
the list subscribes to the list, so being copied into the emails is good
for them. Suddenly changing the way things work could actually be
detrimental to the list. Imagine how many people joined up *after*
posting a question and receiving a good answer.

I switched to Kontact where I am able to add a "reply to list" button on the 
tool bar.

I put it right beside the "reply" so when I go to hit the "reply" It will 
remind me of which one I actually need to hit.

I'm trying to make my computer work for me so I can focus on PHP, not the 
other way around. So after 16 years, I'm done tinkering with my OS's. It gets 
old and writing scripts for every little thing that I think will make my life 
easier is just a thing of the past for me.

Now-a-days the only tinkering I have to do is adding my samba shares to fstab 
when I do fresh installs, and installing apps I use that aren't included by 
default.

Simple, quick and to the point. Thats all I care about anymore.

As mentioned, in terms of just data, then pretty much yes. Capacity is the key.

But, CD, DVD and BlueRay really only describe the technology in the
loosest of terms.

CDs can be created in several formats:

Audio CD / CD-DA / Red Book - This is what you put in your CD player
to listen to music. Can also be extended to be CD-Text, CD+Graphics
(CD+G), CD+Extended Graphics (CD+EG, CD+XG)
Super Audio CD
CD-MIDI
CD-ROM
Video CD (VCD)
Super Video CD (SVCD)
Photo CD (Kodak's format)
CD-i (Philip's)
Enhanced CD / CD Extra / CD Plus
VinylDisc - This one is actually a CD on 1 side and the label has a
vinyl track - can support upto 3 minutes of audio. Need a record
player to listen to it.

And that is JUST CD.

DVD and BlueRay have their own standard and formats.

So, even though the disks all look the same, each format
limits/determines what it can contain, how it is organised and what
the player has to be.

[PHP] Updating cli executable on MS-Windows

I downloaded the MS-Windows cli from The PHP Group a while ago. It

where to get the updates. What is the easiest way to upgrade it to
5.2.13?

You sent two messages to the Install list and then hijacked this
thread.  Send a new message to php-general@lists.php.net and ask for
help.  If you don't get a response, you'll have to try somewhere else,
because it's possible that no one here knows the answer you're trying
to find.  In no case, however, should you ever hijack a thread like
this.

[PHP] Math Question....

[Dan Joseph]

Howdy,

This is a math question, but I'm doing the code in PHP, and have expunged
all resources... hoping someone can guide me here.  For some reason, I can't
figure this out.

I want to take a group of items, and divide them into equal groups based on
a max per group.  Example.

1,252,398 -- divide into equal groups with only 30 items per group max.

Can anyone guide me towards an algorithm or formula name to solve this?  PHP
code or Math stuff is fine.  Either way...

Thanks...

1,252,398 DIV 30 = 41,746 groups of 30.

1,252,398 MOD 30 = 18 items in last group

Well, the only problem with going that route, is the one group is not
equally sized to the others.  18 is ok for a group in this instance, but if
it was a remainder of only 1 or 2, there would be an issue.  Which is where
I come to looking for a the right method to break it equally.

How do you mean break it equally? If the number doesn't fit, then you've
got a remainder, and no math is going to change that. How do you want
that remainder distributed?

for ($g = $maxpergroup; $g > 0; $g++) {

}

Maybe it can helps you.

It sounds like you are looking for factors.

http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/divisibility/factor-any-number-1.solver

Solution by Find factors of any number

1252398 is NOT a prime number: 1252398 = 2 * 3 * 7 * 29819
Work Shown

1252398 is divisible by 2: 1252398 = 626199 * 2.
626199 is divisible by 3: 626199 = 208733 * 3.
208733 is divisible by 7: 208733 = 29819 * 7.
29819 is not divisible by anything.

So 29819 by 42 (7*3*2)

would be a route.


Take note of 
http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/divisibility/Prime_factorization_algorithm.wikipedia,
which has the comment ...

"Many cryptographic protocols are based on the difficultly of
factoring large composite integers or a related problem, the RSA
problem. An algorithm which efficiently factors an arbitrary integer
would render RSA-based public-key cryptography insecure.".

Aha. Missed the "30" bit.

So, having found the factors, you would need to process them to find
the largest combination under 30.

2*3
2*3*7
2*7
3*7

are the possibilities (ignoring any number over 30).

Of which 3*7 is the largest.

So, 1,252,398 divided by 21 = 59,638


Is that the sort of thing you are looking for?

Perhaps a round-robin approach is called for?

Yes, that looks exactly what like what I'm looking for.  I'm going to try
and wake up the algebra side of my brain that hasn't been used in years and
see if I can digest all this.

For the 2, 3, and 7, that is based solely on the last number being divisible
by a prime number?

Joao, Jason, thanks for the code.

My take on it:

$Items=1252398;
$MaxInGroup=30;
for ($x=$MaxInGroup; $x>1;$x--) {
$remainder=$Items % $x;
// Change 17 to the max amount allowed in the last group
if ($remainder == 0 || $remainder >= 17) { // 
$groups = (int) ($Items /$x)+1;
echo $groups."\n";
echo $remainder;
break;
}
}

That wouldn't change - they only get copied in when you choose
'reply-all' and that would work the same whether or not a 'reply-to'
is used.

It would change for the first reply. You say you just want to hit reply
to reply to the list. Now if anyone hits reply, because the reply-to'
header has been changed, the reply goes to the list and not the op.
They're not subscribed and so they miss out.

The way things stand, hitting reply instead of reply to all sends the
reply back to the op only. It happens on this list often and doesn't
cause many issues as the op or replyer notices and sends/copies the list
back in again.

Changing the reply-to header would mean that if someone just hit reply,
the unsubscribed op wouldn't get the reply at all, and any further
replies to that thread would all be to the list only and the
unsubscribed op would never know.

You seem to forget the amount of people stating "remove the other
addresses" from the "reply-all" response. Also, if you don't want to
subscribe to a mailing list, the onus is really on you to make sure
you get the response if any comes.

It's rather annoying and easily avoided. The question is whether this
problem is bigger than people not subscribed to the list not getting a
response, because people use "reply" instead of "reply all".

Emailing a mailing list and expecting an automated response is ... I
don't want to be negative or arrogant, but I think there's a general
and rather problematic lack of experience there. It's a bit like
walking past a group of people, yelling a question at them, then
expecting one of them to run back to you with the answer after you've
passed. Would you normally expect that kind of behaviour?
 Apart from that, if in the current scenario you just hit 'reply' and
send the email off to the OP, the list doesn't get the benefit - and
the OP is not going to change that fact, as they're not subscribed to
the list and won't notice anyway. Which is worse, one person having to
check the answer by looking at the mailing list archive or the rest of
the list not benefiting at all from the answer?

Well, as that one person was the one who needed the help enough to ask
the question in the first place...

I just don't agree that the reply-to field should be changed. Most email
clients are intelligent enough to recognise mailing lists when they see
them, and those that aren't, well, I don't think the world should have
to change to fit in with poor software. I know that often people don't
have a choice with what is installed on a computer, but surely it's
better trying to speak to whoever is in-charge of that to ask them to
change their procedures than get however many shared systems (i.e.
mailing lists) to change their methods?

I guess I'm too far gone down the open source route now to 'get' the
closed source problems that many people face in their offices. If I
don't like a piece of software, I can choose different software, contact
the developers, or even attempt to create a workaround myself.

Thanks,
Ash

This seems to be working ...

}

rsort($Factors);

return reset($Factors);
}

echo findBestFactors($argv[1], $argv[2], $Factors), PHP_EOL;

factors 1252398988 5000

outputs  ...

Wow!  thanks...  I just plopped it into phped and fired off some tests, and
I agree, seems to work fine.  I appreciate your help today.  I am still
looking over the algebra stuff, and am now comparing it to your code.  This
will get me moving forward better in my project.  Thank you!

This is
the string

I found some long functions to achieve this but I couldn't help but
think that it could be done in a couple lines.

Possible?

[PHP] collect string from string

[saeed ahmed]

hello friend,

I have a string like below
"

===Pronunciation===
* {{enPR|tē}}, {{IPA|/tiː/}}, {{SAMPA|/ti:/}}
* {{audio|en-us-tea.ogg|Audio (US)}}
* {{audio|En-uk-tea.ogg|Audio (UK)}}
*: {{rhymes|iː}}
* {{homophones|T|te|tee|ti}}


# {{uncountable}} The dried leaves or buds of the [[tea plant]],
''[[w:Camellia sinensis|Camellia sinensis]]''.
#: ''Go to the supermarket and buy some '''tea'''.''
# {{uncountable}} The drink made by [[infuse|infusing]] these dried
leaves or buds in hot water.
Usage notes
In the [[United Kingdom]], [[Canada]], other English speaking
[[Commonwealth]] countries, and in northern areas of the [[United
States]], ''tea'' is assumed to mean [[hot]] tea and is usually served
in a [[teapot]] with separate [[cup]]s, or sometimes served directly
in cups such as for large groups or for [[takeout]].

In southern areas of the United States, ''tea'' is assumed to mean
[[iced tea]] and is usually served with ice, either in a [[pitcher]]
with separate [[glass]]es or directly in glasses.

Strictly speaking, "tea" has been reserved for [[infusion]]s made from
leaves of ''[[w:Camellia sinensis|Camellia sinensis]]''. Infusions
made from other [[herb]]s such as [[rooibos]], [[mint]]{{,}} and
[[chamomile]] are called [[tisane]]s. In recent years the word "tea"
has been extended to include the herbal infusions.

Synonyms
* {{italbrac-colon|dried leaves of tea plant}} [[tea leaves]]
* {{italbrac-colon|drink made by infusing parts of various other
plants}} [[herb tea]], [[herbal tea]], [[infusion]], [[tisane]]

Derived terms

"

now I want to collect only the string which are start with '#'. how
can I do this? please suggest me.

If the text is in a file, use file() to read the contents into an array
and then check the first character.

Alternatively, if the text is in a string, you could use a regex to pull
out only matching lines. This is an untested regex, but it should do the
trick:

/^(\#.+)$/g

I'm not sure it's the best method, but it didn't take long to come up with this:

[PHP] Using usort in a class

[Ashley Sheridan]

I've not had to do this before, and now that I am, I've hit a bit of a
wall:

Basically, I've an array that might look like this (the number of
elements may vary, but the letter is always unique and remains a single
character):

Array(
0 => '2h'
1 => '1d'
2 => '2w'
)

And I need to sort them according to their letter. If I wasn't using
classes, I could just use usort($array, 'custom_sort') but when I do
that within my class, I'm told it can't find the function. I've tried
usort($array, $this::custom_sort) and usort($array,
$Gantt_Task::custom_sort), both of which throw up the rather frightening
unexpected double colon error (if you've ever seen one you'll know what
I'm on about!)

Does anyone know how I can do a usort within a class without resorting
to making my sorting function a global function that isn't part of the
class? I'd rather keep this tidy and everything in the class that needs
to be in it, so a random function sitting outside is something I want to
avoid if possible.

Alternatively, if anyone knows a better way than using usort I'm all
ears!

Thanks,
Ash

Try using an array to pass in the function:

usort($array, array('ClassName', 'staticMethodName'));

Thanks! I literally just found that answer as your reply came through.
It's a bit of a facepalm moment here right now, as I'm ashamed to say
that the answer was on the manual pages all along, which I'd failed to

WHY would we want to do that? Much unnecessary work when an admin
could set a reply-to and all would be solved.
With all due respect, if I was going to go through all that trouble
just so I could hit reply instead of reply-all or reply-list or
reply-group,


And WHY do you want to restrict my freedom to  choose  to  which   
I  can

respond?  This is something like censorship!


? I think you read wrong. I wouldn't be hindering your ability to use  
other reply buttons.
Nothing anyone really can do about the reply-all. if they are going  
to reply-all then they are the ones choosing that.
When I hit reply though, just reply and not reply-all, list, or  
group, I think it should go back to the list. thats all.


You can hit any reply button you like. ;)



Oh, there ARE Mail-Cients for Windows  which  understand  reply- 
all  and

reply-list and reply-group


I am on a Mac, so I don't know what this comment has to do with me.
I think your referring to the Windows users comment someone else said.
The point I had was that there is no need to have a message from the  
list reply back to the poster, but the list.





They just have to set the headers to point there. Much easier than
what was suggested.


This is associal!


No  opensocial..
I wouldnt be against setting the reply-list and reply-group for other  
people. :)






It is curious though, why the admin of the PHP lists depend on
special case scenarios such as reply-list or reply-group.
To me, thats kind of like saying you can only click buttons on our
website if you use Internet Explorer.
Everyone else has to view the source and copy the urls to navigate.


On some of my pages you will be kicked off if you come in with

But alas, I am done. There really is nothing I can do but accept how

Re: [PHP] collect string from string

[Michiel Sikma]

You need to use the multiline modifier.

Try this:
preg_match_all("/^(\#.*)/im", $my_string, $matches);
print_r($matches);

The result:

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => # {{uncountable}} The dried leaves or buds of the [[tea
plant]],
[1] => #: ''Go to the supermarket and buy some '''tea'''.''
[2] => # {{uncountable}} The drink made by [[infuse|infusing]]
these dried
)

[1] => Array
(
[0] => # {{uncountable}} The dried leaves or buds of the [[tea
plant]],
[1] => #: ''Go to the supermarket and buy some '''tea'''.''
[2] => # {{uncountable}} The drink made by [[infuse|infusing]]
these dried
)

)

Do you have a bit more information other than 'not working'. Are you
receiving an error of some kind? I'm assuming your data is in a string
variable if you're using preg_match() yes?

Ah, ignore my last reply then! I used the g modifier, forgetting it
wasn't the multi-line one in PHP!

It's the global modifier in other implementations (JS, Perl, Java, etc), but
it doesn't quite work like the multiline modifier in those implementations
either. The effect of having it is like the difference between PHP's
preg_match() and preg_match_all(). That's why PHP actually doesn't have a g
modifier.
