Kyle,

I wrote a script which does all that and it's open source. You can see the 
script in action if you go to the Stupid Web Tricks section of Cat 'n Moose at

http://catnmoose.com/stupid.shtml

Download the source code from devshed at

  I am looking for new alternatives in web development and maintenance.
  Anybody have any suggestions or comments on any open source/commercial
  PHP+mySQL based CMS programs?

You could check out my web-based CMS SIMPL. It's written in Perl and only 
the driver installed on the customer's site is source-readable, but on the 
bright side it has:

1. easy webmaster interface
2. ability to change site design at the click of the mouse
3. allows up to a three level hierarchy
4. page renderings are quick, usually under 12 seconds on my voice modem
5. owner viewable page view log including referers
6. cheap; it's bundled with my basic hosting plan and I'm running a 
promotional special right now

Check out http://newdiets.com for an example of a SIMPL website, and the 
SIMPL demo which is on my business site, http://face2interface.com/Demo

Re: [PHP] doing a task, like a program running forever

I want that each hour my script gets the weather of a site (like yahoo)

Hi Augusto.

first write the script to accomplish this function. If you're on a Unix 
type server you can then use the crontab function to have the program run 
once an hour. You could have the output from that program go to a file.

Then for the webpage that serves up that data you can read the contents of 
the file the hourly program has created. BTW, you should make sure you're 
doing this in a way that Yahoo (for example) finds acceptable usage, e.g. 
by contacting them first for permission to post their data to your site.

Re: [PHP] Arabic php

How to display Arabic ina php file ?
I mean in a pc who's os does not support arabic, how a user can watch my 
arabic php file

Kaab,

If the visitor's computer doesn't support Arabic display then I think 
you're left with preparing image files. So long as you've got Arabic fonts 
installed on your computer, and a graphics program which can use them, you 
can create gif images and use those to display to your pages.

Re: [PHP] Executing after certain time

Hey guys, I have a php script that generates files, and a www page that
links to them.

Is there a way to delete those files, based on a time variable ?..

Why not have cron kick off a script every minute that checks all candidate 
files and deletes the ones that need it. You can either embed the delete 
criteria within the file name or alternatively have the program which 
creates the candidate files post entries to a control file which the cron 
pgm reads.

What about updating the links on the webpage though? You'll have to handle 
this too unless the page is written by a program which generates links on 
the fly based on candidate file availability. Like generating the links 
from a read of the candidate file directory.

Of course you'll want a very appealing 404 handler (see .htaccess for 
those) because the webpage could be invoked by a visitor to the site 
displaying links that are clobbered some seconds/minutes later by the cron 
job. Then the visitor clicks and it ain't there. :(

Maybe there's a better way to accomplish what you're after??

Re: [PHP] uploading to another server

My scripts and the site itself are on one server, but I need to upload

You can do a post, or if the file's small enough a get. Or write a receiver 
program on the one server, and a transmitter program on the other which 
prints out the file upon (authorized) request.

My content management system SIMPL passes files from the webmaster 
interface screen on my site over to the customer's hosting server; however 
I decided to use FTP in the backend to accomplish the task.

[PHP] OT - filtering problems

2001-06-20 Thread Marty Landman

Sorry for this OT post. Since the lists have come back up I've been having 
a problem getting my email client, Eudora 5.0.2 sponsored mode for Win95 to 
filter them correctly. I've tried several times and combinations and still 
everything goes into my inbox.

I've got several dozen filters, and a couple others are giving me trouble 
too. I'm a bit stymied; could there be something weird and wonderful about 
the headers for this list's (and a couple others) that confuse Eudora?

Anyone else having this same problem, or have any advice on how I might 
debug this? Offlist replies are totally fine.

Thanks in advance,

Marty
