Re: [PHP] Re: PHP vs. ASP
Just a couple of thoughts here: 1. Now() outputs the date, so ASP does have that. 2. I hate the concept of saying that one of these products is superior to the other. Why not just lay out the technical points of both, and let the reader decide. I'm okay with somebody choosing ASP (or PHP) as long as they are basing it on the facts and there particular needs; what I don't like are advocates (read a**holes) turning this into a heated debate devoid of any facts or basis in reality. BTW, I use both and have used both. I'm more concerned with results, not egos. John Meyer Q: What do you do if your linux server crashes. A: First, find a candle...*G* Original Message Follows From: Mike Eheler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: PHP vs. ASP Date: Wed, 09 Jan 2002 10:57:27 -0800 Well being a former ASP programmer and a current PHP programmer I think I can help you there. The key point is ease of use. PHP provides far more functionality than ASP (try finding a function to print out the date in ASP.. yeah, I thought so), while at the same time giving you access to low-level areas of the language so that you can really make it do whatever you want. Oh yeah, and it's OpenSource. Make it do what you want, and if that doesn't suit your fancy, then change it :) ASP costs -- the server (be it Windows or Unix-based) is gonna cost ya, any extensions to do more advanced things (such as creating images on the fly) is gonna cost ya.. cost cost cost. With ASP I was constantly running into roadblocks because of the way it works. Let's take form submission.. or beyond that.. uploading FILES. You can do it the long, hard way (write your own MIME handler and parse the incoming binary data), or the easy way (shell out $$$ to pay for a professional activex com object to do the job for you). And if that wasn't enough. ASP is just plain slower. Well, that's my 2 cents. There's plenty of more points that could be said, but I think this should give you some good arguments to start with.

Re: [PHP] help with php mysql and images...
A couple of things: 1. ASP is not dumb. It was just written by Microsoft. Seriously, though I'd learn both, it would make you much more marketable. 2. First off, create the database. Then ask yourself what are the steps that you have to go through. What your probably looking at right now is selecting the information off of the database and reporting it. I'd _definitely_ think about sitting down with the MySQL manual and the PHP manual, both of which are availible free. Also, look for a good MySQL/PHP book (my favorite is MySQL/PHP Database Applications, by Jay Greenspan and Brad Bulger). You have some work ahead of you, but not a lot.

foreach($variables as $value) {

$value =

[PHP] arrays in forms.

Author (you are able to select more than one.a href=addauthor.phpClick
here to add a new author/a)br:
select name=author multiple size=5
?php
$result = mysql_query(SELECT AUTHOR_ID, AUTHOR_FNAME, AUTHOR_LNAME FROM

selected, if any.
if isset($author) {
if is_array($author) {
foreach($authors as $key=$value) {
$query = INSERT INTO BYLINE(TITLE_ID, AUTHOR_ID)

There is a very very important difference. Stealing/theft is a criminal offence. Copyright infringement is not. For you to be prosecuted for copyright infringement the injured party must bring a civil case. This is a fundamental difference. The reason everyone thinks the terms theft and stealing cover it is because, as I've previously asserted, bodies like the MPAA and RIAA keep referring to it as such.

would match the above on a single line for example, where \1 refers to

Try and be a little more specific in what you want to match, as regex is
hard enough to start with - a detailed and clear description will elicit
corresponding responses.

Sorry forgot to mention how you show errors on a particular page- you
would use-
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
But are you sure you want to do this? Showing errors to your users is
NOT a good idea as it can open your server up to all kinds of security
issues. Why not use the log parser idea that I said in my last mail?

If the file already exists, the fopen() call will fail by returning FALSE and generating an error of level E_WARNING. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it. This is equivalent to specifying O_EXCL|O_CREAT flags for the underlying open(2) system call. This option is supported in PHP 4.3.2 and later, and only works for local files. -- Dr. Joseph Dolan: Isn't there a children's book about an elephant named Babar? Fletch: I don't know. I don't have any. Dr. Joseph Dolan: No children? Fletch: No, elephant books. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
