Re: [PHP] Connection Handling - unreliable at best?
Hm. Commented out the line re-tested. Absolutely no change whatsoever :( Even made it false. I'm really hoping I've been an idiot on this one. Makes no sense otherwise but this is where I am. Hope to hear further suggestions.

So far the documented behaviour rarely occurs. This code is a minimal test case: http://codepad.org/GqNlcWiM I run this behind Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.3 on Linux. The in-line comments explain the problem. I load in the browser and hit stop pretty much immediately but PHP does not get signalled that the user has aborted and continues. From memory of having to restart apache after hitting long-running scripts in the past, I don't ever believe I've had a script terminate on a user abort. And I've never switched the behaviour from default. I read several people explain this behaviour would only ever work in writing back to the client and to flush the buffer, which is included in the test case. I've also removed any compression from within Apache. Can anyone explain what I've seeing? I've tried this using Lighttpd/Windows too. Look at line #4. You're telling PHP that you don't give a damn if someone tries to quit, you're going to continue anyway. You storm trooper, you. If PHP is instructed to ignore the user's (futile) attempts to abort, why should it try to gentlemanly and politely respect a shutdown function? Essentially, you're damning it to zombiehood. -- /Daniel P.

Re: [PHP] Protocol on handling empty checkbox values
On Fri, 2002-08-16 at 19:24, David Yee wrote: Hi all. For a universal form script I'm writing I want to store a 'Y' in a table field if a checkbox is checked and an 'N' if it's not. The problem is that when the form is posted if the checkbox is not checked the checkbox variable is not passed. E.g. form method=POST action=submit.php input type=checkbox name=my_checkbox_var value=Y /form If the checkbox is checked, I get $_POST['my_checkbox_var'] == 'Y', but if not $_POST['my_checkbox_var'] is not even set. So what I've been doing is putting the variable names of the checkbox fields into an array, serializing it, and then pass the string as a hidden input on the form. Then in the page that handles the POST I unserialize the array to determine if checkbox fields were passed and then handle accordingly. But I'm wondering is there a better way (or at least a standard way) of doing this? I'll assume here that you're dynamically building the table and thus the checkboxes, which is why you cannot know whether a checkbox exists on the form or not. If this is true, I would get a variable $loop, set it to 0, then on outputting every checkbox, append this value to the checkbox's name. Then you have predicatable checkbox names. When you have finished drawing the checkboxes, note in a hidden input field the $loop value so you know what maximum possible checkbox number is. On receiveing the POST, do a for loop, and perform an if (isset($_POST[checkbox_number_$loop])) then you know if it's set or not. I think that just about covers it. Apologies if I have misread/misinterpreted what you have asked. James Green -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Multiple layout strategy, advice saught!
Hi all, We have a unix server with apache and php on it. We have a set of client site that all share the same codebase. Our problem is that we end up with multiple URL layouts for essentially the same thing. Let me explain. Say we have clients x, y, and z. These buy template sites from us, and access that as http://some.ip.add.ress/x/, /y/, and /z/. Inside these are a number of urls such as /en/england/foo/bar/cat1/1.php and /en/england/foo/bar/cat2/1.php, where all */foo/* urls need to be handled by the /foo.php script via AliasMatch. This by itself is not so difficult, however we also have a significant number of client with their own domain names that need to be mapped directly to their sitename. Thus we end up with at two sets of AliasMatches: AliasMatch ^/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/foo/(.*) /www/shared/foo.php for the templated sites where the (.*) correspond to sitename, language, and country, and AliasMatch ^/(.*)/(.*)/foo/(.*) /www/shared/foo.php for domain-based sites. Has anyone done anything similar? What did you end up doing? Any suggestions about how to proceed? I'm thinking it'll be necessary to figure out from foo.php whether we are in a /sitename/ or not and proceed to build urls from there. Thoughts gratefully appreciated.

[PHP] configure problem: --with-mysql=/what exactly?
Hi all, I have Debian Sid, I have Apache installed by source, and am trying to install the source of PHP4.0.6. For reasons I won't go into, I cannot use the Debian packages of Apache or PHP. The problem is when I come to configure PHP with mysql support. I have MySQL debs installed: mysql-server, mysql-client, libmysqlclient10-dev. I can see the mysql libs in /usr/lib/, and the headers in /usr/include/mysql/. I have tried the following, each time removing config.cache beforehand: --with-mysql=/usr --with-mysql=/usr/include --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql --with-mysql=/usr/lib According to a friend with mysql Debs installed it should be the first, yet PHP tells me each time it's using the bundled MySQL version and to be careful of running it with other mysql-using modules. Any ideas why configure doesn't pick up my local MySQL installation? It certainly picks up the currect socket path.

[PHP] Multiviews and GET requests no longer working?
Hi all, So a few weeks back on my Debian Sid box I had everything running nicely, PHP4, Apache 1.3, and had it such that Multiviews were turned on, and I could call /foo?id=1 and the file foo.php would register the variable id as having a value of 1. I dist-upgraded last weekend (now PHP-4.1.0-RC2), and now it's stopped working. If I call foo?id=1, not only is the id variable not set, _SERVER[QUERY_STRING] isn't either. Cookies and session variables work fine, it's just variables passed via GET. If I turn off Multiviews, the variables come through fine, but it means calling foo.php. This has completely floored me. I don't want to re-write the site with references to URLs with file extensions -- I deliberately don't want users to see file extensions. Anyone had similar problems? Anyone have any ideas what to try? I have register_globals = On in the php.ini file, nothing in the php.ini or httpd.conf files appears to have changed. I'm at a loss. Please help!
