[PHP] UK Project Opportunity

BIRT uses a java interface with drag and drop so from a user perspective it's somewhat easier to do, but you need to have your db set up so that the tool can understand the relationships between the tables. I would suggest that you start with BIRT and then add a clause to the support contracts that each report that you need to be involved in will cost $50 or so to cover your time when the tool gets too complicated for the users. Perhaps a series of common canned reports could also be included to help make the sale.

[PHP] Thread Safe?
Hi all, I'm installing 5.3.1 on my Windows Server with IIS6. Should I choose VC9 x86 Thread Safe or non-thread safe ? What is the difference? Thanks!
Re: [PHP] Thread Safe?
Hi David, Install the non-thread safe version and run it in conjunction with FastCGI. You may also be interested in looking into WinCache for PHP. Non-thread safe works best with FastCGI, running PHP as an ISAPI module is NOT recommended. Cheers, Rob. David Stoltz wrote: Hi all, I'm installing 5.3.1 on my Windows Server with IIS6.

[PHP] loadXML() and namespace
It seems that if I use loadXML($string) and the $string has a namespace defined in it, domdocument is nuking the namespace and changing the nodenames from whatever to defaultwhatever. Example - math xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML; mrow mrow msup mix/mi mn2/mn /msup mo+/mo mrow mn4/mn mo/mo mix/mi /mrow mo+/mo mn4/mn /mrow mo=/mo mn0/mn /mrow /math would get changed to defaultmath defaultmrow defaultmrow defaultmsup defaultmix/defaultmi defaultmn2/defaultmn /defaultmsup defaultmo+/defaultmo defaultmrow defaultmn4/defaultmn defaultmo/defaultmo defaultmix/defaultmi /defaultmrow defaultmo+/defaultmo defaultmn4/defaultmn /defaultmrow defaultmo=/defaultmo defaultmn0/defaultmn /defaultmrow /defaultmath which of course breaks the page. So it seems I need to somehow tell loadXML() about the namespace so it doesn't do that, but I'm not having much luck with the php manual, DOMDocument documentation seems a little on the not written side. When I create the nodes and add them to the dom via domdocument it works fine, but the issue is I like to cache the content div as a string and load it when the page is requested (stuff outside the content div needs to be dynamic and not cached) but this namespace issue prevents that. Any tips would be appreciated, caching makes a huge difference. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
