I joined the list awhile back then unsubscribed for no apparent reason. This list was very active years ago. I came back about a few months ago just as a watcher. I didn't really post or participate at all. I guess, there are a lot of watchers only people here. They receive digest e-mails; they just don't participate in any way. Then, there are those who lost their jobs due to the recession and so they dropped off the list as well. There are a lot of developers unemployed. I would imagine that other developers didn't keep up with the changes. PHP has come a long way as far as Object Oriented Programming is concerned. There have been many discussions about Design Patterns and extending existing classes. So a lot has changed in the last 5 years. I do believe that the list will pick up again. Welcome back, Ravi.

As such, I cannot firmly place the blame on PHP. I have peppered a PHP application with a call to a function which appends-only to a logfile the parameters passed to it. Each pass of the application creates many MB of content. It is conceivable that I ran out of hard drive space. When that which what I was working on seemed to be acting very weird, I rebooted the computer only to see thousands of lines scroll by from Windows repairing the file system. I discovered logfile contents in many dozens of files. The timestamp and filesize of the damaged files were not changed. Only the contents replaced with slices of the logfile. Again, I'm not going to try to 'intentionally' replicate this, so I ask: Has PHP's interface with the NTFS file sub-system ever been reported to splatter a file across the contents of a drive? At this stage, the safest option is a restore from your backups.

Nothing to stop your OpenWindow() function doing a submit as in:

Personally I never submit forms. I use ajax to communicate with PHP scripts and

[PHP] Not counting my own page visits
Hello, I have a script that counts hits to all the pages in my site and emails me a report nightly. However, it also counts my visits to my site, and when I'm coding, I'm hitting a lot of my pages, repeatedly. I'd like to find a way to not count my page visits. At first, I thought about adding a parameter to each URL and parsing that in the script, but that would get old real fast, and also, I may forget to add it each time. Is there a way to tell the script to ignore my visits? Thank you, Angela -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you want to open a new page in response to a submit button press (using PHP) you may be out of luck. I don't know of a way to do it without involving another language. Opening a different page in the *same* window, yes. Otherwise, no. But watch the other replies. Maybe someone knows something I don't. Paul Nope.

Thanks, Angela You can manually write a cookie on your machine, or use a special script that only you visit that contains a setcookie() call (it only need be set once). From there on, you can check the $_COOKIES super global for the presence of your cookie. To test, visit the site with a different browser (browsers won't share the cookies) and you'll see the visit logged. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

I'm trying to figure out where the net gain in that is. The PHP file
being called via AJAX is doing its processing on the server either way.
So it appears the only difference is an asynchronous Javascript/AJAX
call or a synchronous PHP call (on a standard PHP form submission). What
am I missing?

Check your html reference for reserved names you can use or just make one up. If you need some of the input values that duplicated in this new form, use an onclick js function to populate some hidden html fields contained within the form from the original inputs outside the form. A bit of work, but very easy to do.

Misunderstanding what $cookie contains? It is a boolean, i.e. it will be
true or false depending on whether the cookie was set or not. To echo the
contents of a cookie, you need to use the cookie name, viz
?php echo 'Cookie is: '.$_COOKIE['test2'].br; ?

once). From there on, you can check the $_COOKIES super global for the
presence of your cookie.
I don't know why, but I can't get cookies to work. Here's a script I'm
calling from my browser:
?php
$domain = ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'localhost') ?
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] : false;
$cookie = setcookie('test2', '123' , time()+60*60*24*30, '/', $domain);
?
!DOCTYPE html
html lang=en
head
meta charset=utf-8 /
titleTest Page/title
/head
body
?php echo 'Cookie is: '.$_COOKIE[$cookie].br; ?
?php echo 'Domain is: '.$domain.br; ?
/body
/html
The domain is being displayed but the cookie is not. There's no cookie in
the browser prefs, either. What am I doing wrong?

Misunderstanding what $cookie contains? It is a boolean, i.e. it will be
true or false depending on whether the cookie was set or not. To echo the
contents of a cookie, you need to use the cookie name, viz
?php echo 'Cookie is: '.$_COOKIE['test2'].br; ?

Not just that, but if you set a cookie, you won't be able to retrieve it
in the same script I believe. It's only available in the $_COOKIES array
once you refresh the page, as that's when the super global is populated
from the cookie data that the browser sends.

Re: [PHP] [ad] [free+opensource] htmlMicroscope (nested array viewer/dumper) upgraded - now allows for even larger arrays
I like PHPUnit for that matter. It does a good job of debugging. Ravi. On Sat, Dec 22, 2012 at 8:41 AM, rene7705 rene7...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Folks. URL: http://fancywebapps.com/products/htmlMicroscope Just wanted to let you all know that I've completed a long overdue upgrade to my free htmlMicroscope web component. It is basically a fancy replacement for var_dump() which can show you the full depth of an array regardless of how large or deep your PHP array or javascript object is. I won't repeat the entire homepage content here, but I think this version could be useful for at least some of the programmers on this list. I'll only repeat this message for significant updates. This is a significant update because I've finally cracked the barrier of displaying an object with more than a few hundred key-value pairs on a single level. That used to crash all browsers, not anymore. i'll continue work on this, want to build in (in order of priority): - auto navigation options (auto smooth scroll to links within the data) - middle mouse button click - smooth offset scrolling - html source view - auto indented and colorcoded syntax-checked view for html + json Merry Christmas and a productive New Year to ya'll :D -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Same script *invocation*. The cookie gets set when the response is
sent back to the client. If the client calls the same script again,
that cookie then uploaded. :)

Re: [PHP] Re: Open form in new window
I would like to just take a step back and ponder what the user experience of this will be. Click a submit button, one of *many* as the OP says, and a new browser window opens? I don't think that is how most people experience the web these days. Technicalities of how one does this notwithstanding, I am urging the OP to consider their users. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
