[PHP] MySql or flat database using PHP ?

2001-08-18 Thread David Ovens

Before I start creating an Sql table/database, thought I would ask for advice first.

I am creating a directory online, with urls information, links, email addresses etc 
etc.  What do you think is best a MySql database or writing it to a file using 
fopen/fwrite (flat file) ???  Your thoughts would be very much appreciated.


Thanks

Dave

 I am making a program, that uses the fsockopen command looking at various
 url's, but occasionally it stops with a timeout error, I have used the @
 infront of the fsockopen command, but it still times out with the error,
how
 do I make php ignore the error so that I can make it automatically retry
or
 do something else  ??

2001-08-13 Thread David Ovens

this is my fsockopen satement it will check about 4/5 urls and then time out
(exceed 30 second timeout error) on the 5/6 url,  I have no idea, why my
program wont continue checking all the urls in one go.


$socket = @fsockopen($urlArray[host], $urlArray[port], $errnum, $errstr,
100);

 Is the timeout coming from fsockopen() or from the program using too
 much time?

 I've used @fsockopen() before without any issues (at least on Linux and
 Solaris), but if your script is running for a long time, you may need to
 tweak the execution time limit:

so far by increasing the set_tim_limit function it seems to have cured my
problem.  I shall see how it goes.

Thanks

[PHP] blank form

2001-08-08 Thread David Ovens

in my php scripts I am using forms which are posted to itself, each time fields are 
submitted the php scripts checks the syntax before moving onto the next part of the 
form, if there is an error the script will tell the user that there is an error and to 
use the back button to correct the form, problem is when you press the back button the 
form is blank.  how do I overcome this by keeping the original details in the form 
especially when using drop down menu options ??

[PHP] .shtml or .php ?

2001-08-02 Thread David Ovens

The Virtual() command works on my hosting server, I am running windows, idigostart 
perl/apache with php4 installed, how do I get this virtual() command to work on my 
machine, I assumed that the php4 I had installed was an apache module.

I have .shtml pages using includes for html, and exec cgi for executing .cgi 
scripts, as I am using php more and more is there an advantage in me changing my 
.shtml pages to php and use the equivalent include, and virtual commands ??  But I do 
need somehow to be able to use the virtual() command on my machine so that I can 
develop my scripts.
