replace the + symbols with . and also date(F) should be date('F'). If you

There may be an issue about what the browser chooses to do with the .rtf extension, however if the web server was correctly configured, the php source of the .rtf file would not be sent by the server, but would have at least been interpreted by php, which would then have sent out the correct mime type header to give the browser a chance of interpreting the data as html.

I agree with Angie's sentiments. There is no need at all to put the dlls in your system directory (although php will still work if you do) as long as phpts.dll is in the same directory as the main php executable or dll. This means php.exe for cgi, php4apache.dll for Apache module etc. I think that working this way vastly reduces the chances of 'old' php files messing up an installation.

I've requested how I could run PHP faster, if 20 USER's access my files at the same time. Using ISAPI means that php stays alive while the server is alive, so there is no overhead in starting and closing down php.exe on each request. There is a perfomance benefit, although once the script is actually going the speed is the same. i.e. the speed benefit is a fixed amount of time per script. This means you'll notice the speedup much more on shorter scripts. Now the bad news. The PHP ISAPI module is not very stable. For me, it won't work for more than a couple of requests without falling over. Others report more success.

The headers it did return are: This error message means that php failed to output anything at all. From the command line hange to the directory containing php.exe.

If you get a screen full of html codes (the output of the phpinfo() function) then php is working ok. Once php is working at the command line, try accessing the php script via the browser again. If it still fails then it could be one of the following: file permissions on your php script, php.exe, php4ts.dll, php.ini or any php extensions you are trying to load are such that the anonymous internet user ISUR_machinename cannot access them. The script file does not exist (or possibly isn't where you think it is relative to your web root directory). Note that for IIS you can trap this error by ticking the 'check file exists' box when setting up the script mappings in the Internet Services Manager. If a script file does not exist then the server will return a 404 error instead.

IIS checks whether the script file exists, and if it doesn't, it sends a 404 error rather than running php. Secondly, when it checks the file and finds that the web server does not have permission to read it, it sends authentication headers (or does all that NT authentication unpleasantness if you have it enabled) in order to attempt to get sufficient permission to read the file.

Theoretically, yes, it would put a hit on the server because PHP uses the file system so much, but it shouldn't crash it. Is this possibly the reason it is crashing? Assuming that you are using the ISAPI version of PHP, it is probably crashing because that version of PHP is not very stable. You should upgrade to 4.0.6 which contains improvements in that area, but it is still not perfect. If you find 4.0.6 unstable either change from ISAPI to CGI or if you can, change from IIS to Apache and use the Apache module version of PHP.

Re: [PHP] Authentication
If you run PHP as a CGI, or as an ISAPI module *without* installing the ISAPI filter, then IIS will have already dealt with everything to do with headers before PHP gets a look in. Installing PHP in the ISAPI filters list allows it to get at the headers and do authentication, however you may have serious problems with the stability of the ISAPI module version of PHP.

[PHP] converting Word documents to something sensible
I have to build a web site for a local government education authority in the UK which will allow them to make available a large range of documents to schools. They INSIST on submitting documents in Word format. I think it is immoral to make the schools have to accept documents in that format so I am determined to translate them to something sensible (html, rtf or pdf will do) at the server.

Re: [PHP] Installing PHP 4.0.5 on win 2000 Professional
I have installed everything, but PHP icon or program group never appear. Can we use PHP to develop using Windows o/s or not. When I run php.exe in /php/ it just hangs in DOS mode. PHP is something that plugs into the web server - it's not the sort of thing that gets entered in your start menu. When you run php.exe it runs in interactive mode - hence the apparent hang - it is waiting for you to type some input, although this is not how you would normally drive php. Have you configured IIS as per the installation instructions (or if you used the installer did you tell it to configure IIS for you)? If so, create a file called test.php containing ?php phpinfo(); ? and save it into your web root directory (usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot then from your browser go to http://localhost/test.php and you should be up and running.

Re: [PHP] PHP on PWS not working!
What is going wrong is that you are using the ISAPI version of PHP and it is quite unstable on anything lower than W2K. It manifests itself in the server 500 errors you describe and, because it kills bits of the server, ASP dies as well. Just change to the cgi installation and all should become good. If you are using ASP then I think that moving to Xitami is not an option (someone correct me if I'm wrong with that guess). In the same vein, IIS only runs on NT server and W2K so that may not be an option - and in any case that would fall over with the ISAPI module as well.

Re: [PHP] PHP on PWS not working!
I dont' have PWS so I#m guessing, but you probably have to remove the PHP ISAPI module from the list of installed ISAPI filters (you do have to do this on IIS so I assume PWS is the same). No idea where the user interface to this might be found though. Failing all else, deleting php4isapi.dll and rebooting will ensure that the module is no longer loaded in the filters list, and as long as PWS still starts then you are on to a winner!

When I did the windows installer there was some talk of defaulting to install in 'Program files' (I think Zeev suggested it), but there was a significant body of opinion which thought that there would be problems at least with parts of php with respect to the space in the filename. I just listened to the opinion and chickened out defaulting the installation to C:\php (easily overridden by the user). I never did any tests on the space issue, but it may be worth considering here before coming to a conclusion.

Re: Re[3]: [PHP-CVS] cvs: php4 /main config.w32.h php_ini.c
If there are we are better off finding them and fixing them instead of Agreed. However the 'Program files' folder is the standard place where applications that the user runs live. Web scripting things seem to live (at least on NT) in SYSTEMROOT\system32\inetsrv - which is more unpleasant than in C:\ IMHO. I don't care too much where things go as long as it works, but certainly, if we want to make things easier for users, we should bear in mind that all the IIS/PWS management tools default to looking in SYSTEMROOT\system32\inetsrv for things when configuring scriptmapping.

Re: [PHP] windows 2000 install
There are two stages here. Getting PHP installed and working and getting IIS configured. To tackle the first should be easy. If php.exe and phpts.dll are in the same directory as each other (say C:\php) and php.ini is in the WINNT folder AND you haven't done anything silly in php.ini, then PHP should work. Test by opening a command window, changing directory to C:\php and typing php.exe -i. A screenful of html tells you php is working. Alternatively, an error message might tell you what's wrong. If that works, run the Internet service manager and check that for the web site you are playing with, the .php file extension is mapped onto the php.exe. Run a .php file containing just ?php phpinfo();? from your web browser on localhost. If that works, great. If not, tell us exactly what happens.

Re: [PHP] SOS !
A few people seem to have this PWS problem - and the only cure seems to be to reinstall PWS. The symptoms seem to be something like PWS is ignoring the scriptmap directive and no end of fiddling around with the registry will make it behave. You could always ditch PWS and use Xitami if you have a simple setup, or Apache if your needs are more complex. Either way you'll have less bother than with PWS.

Re: [PHP] Multiple Inserts
The trick here is to do some debugging :)
Firstly make sure that your error reporting level is set to E_ALL in
php.ini - then you've got some chance of seeing error and warning messages.
Secondly, while there are probably loads of ways of doing what you are
trying to do, all the correct ones will check the return value from ALL the
mysql calls. The mysql functions return 0 if something went wrong. There's
absolutely no point carrying on to the next stage since when you pass the 0
into the next stage it will just complain (if your error reporting level is
set high enough) - it simply can't do the next bit with a connection or
result handle of 0.
So, for each mysql call do something like:
$Thingy = mysql_whatnot(blah) or die('it went wrong doing whatnot, mysql
says '.mysql_error());
and if that doesn't give you the clue you need (which it will 99% of the
time, echo out the SQL statement and see if that looks silly in any way.
Good luck.

Subject: [PHP] Multiple Inserts
Hi,
I am trying to do some multiple inserts using the following code but it
doesn`t seem to work, it inserts the first one but then the second is
inserted as blank. Where the value being passed is
$Emails="[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
?
// Get Login info
require("blah...");
// Connect to MySQL
$connection=mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
// Format the Emails
$Emails1=str_replace(" ","",$Emails);
$GetEmails=explode(",",$Emails1);
// Insert into Members Database
for
=0;$acount($GetEmails);$a++){
$SQLStatement = "INSERT INTO Members (Email) VALUES ('".$GetEmails[$a] ."')"
or die ("Problem");
$db = mysql_select_db($dbase, $connection);
$SQLResult = mysql_query($SQLState
ment);
}
?
Anyone know what might be going wrong, or perhaps I have the wrong method?
Thanks
Ade

Re: [PHP] Please Help!!!! - Really BASIC stuff!
There are loads of different ways to spit out a text file. The easiest is readfile($Filename) which does exactly what you want, providing that the file already contains sanitised html (eg br instead of newlines etc. If not, you could use fread to get the file contents into a variable and then process them as you wish (eg with nl2br etc). No doubt, you will be told another hundred ways to do it as well :) Cheers PS Interesting postal address - I frequent the Beeswing pub on Hull Rd every Thursday evening with members of the old car club I'm in! -- Phil Driscoll Dial Solutions +44 (0)113 294 5112 http://www.dialsolutions.com http://www.dtonline.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Problems with IIS4 (Win2k)
Yeah after a net stop and net start I've got the cgi version working, but I still can't seem to get the PHP isapi module up. This could be a permissions issue on any of the php files (php4ts.dll, php4isapi.dll, php.ini or any extension dlls enabled in php.ini). For test purposes, if you give full control for everyone for these files and it starts to work, then it was a permissions problem. What functionality is missing from the CGI version besides http-auth? can it handle uploads? I think that all you miss is some performance and the ability to get at the headers before IIS has already acted on them. This affects authentication and probably some other stuff as well. You will probably also find that the CGI version is much more reliable than the ISAPI module.

Re: [PHP] PHP and SVG
Even though the WC3 hasn't fully finalized the spec for SVG, it's still a viable option for doing some dynamic graphics work using the Adobe plugin. Has anybody been messing around with generating dynamic SVG code with PHP? I haven't done so yet but it's certainly on my 'to do' list. We do a simple drawing program for schools which exports SVG, and I had toyed with the idea of generating an SVG extension module for PHP, however I couldn't dream up many functions which you couldn't easily implement in php itself.

Re: [PHP] File upload problem on IIS/NT4
Make sure that upload_tmp_dir in your php.ini file is set to something sensible for a windows machine. I have it set to f:\php\temp (and you also need to make sure that the directory specified actually exists).

Re: [PHP] How to transfer 2.2864849511949E+190 to a normal-human-readable number?
You are working with VERY large numbers here. I would have said that the number is as good as you'll get in terms of human readability unless you want to see nearly 200 zeroes on the screen. That said, I'm not sure how much use such large numbers will be to you, as when represented as floating point, the inaccuracies are phenomenal - you can't really expect to do any useful calculations with the numbers, and you're not too far away from banging into numeric overflows. It would be interesting to know what you are doing!

Hi,
have to correct that (thanks to Adam Whitehead for pointing out).
It should be %f instead of %d. However:
'? $foo = 2.2864849511949E+190; settype($foo,"double"); printf("%f\n",
$foo) ?' | php -q

Re: [PHP] PWS PHP
How can i make my web server PWS parse html file into PHP? cause it shows nothing when i include php in an html file.However it works when i put it in a php file ! You need to edit your registry (using regedit or a .reg file based on the one shown here). [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc\parameters\Scrip t Map] ".html"="[PUT PATH HERE]\\php.exe" The registry entry will be the same as the .php one you already have, but will be called .html Cheers -- Phil Driscoll Dial Solutions +44 (0)113 294 5112 http://www.dialsolutions.com http://www.dtonline.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] PWS PHP
I think that the registry key you are playing with here just sets what happens when a file is opened (e.g. by double clicking on it). It should have no effect on how PWS deals with the file. You should restore that to it's original setting. When you have had .php files working, I assume that you were accessing them as something like http://localhost/myfile.php With the PWS scriptmap key set for .html, are you saying that accessing a file http://localhost/myfile.html just returns you the unparsed raw php stored in myfile.html Cheers -- Phil Driscoll Dial Solutions +44 (0)113 294 5112 http://www.dialsolutions.com http://www.dtonline.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] PWS PHP
First Thanks ! well yes when i call http://localhost/myfile.html it skips the php syntaxes it shows wht is only in the html tags! Can you check that a view source shows all your php code.

Re: [PHP] OOP in web development
I don't want to start an OOP flame thread here, so I'll shut up after this
posting - it's just that nobody is speaking up for not using OOP :)
The point needs to be made that code reuse, readability and maintainability
do not come from whether or not you choose to use OOP techniques. They come
from a combination of careful thought, planning, skill and experience.
In almost all cases, whatever you write will be executed by a microprocessor
that knows nothing of OOP, but just plods through a sequence of
instructions, occasionally shooting off to execute a subroutine or two. What
this shows is that whatever fine OOP constructs you devise they can be
represented in the plain old procedural world.
I'm pretty sure that most of the OOP tricks PHP does are done by pretending
that things are objects but really they are arrays, and as you might expect,
the procedural way to implement the same functionality is to use arrays!
Mark's example comparing:
create_table($data,"nowrap","black",null,"white",null,null,null,"Tahoma",12,
null,null,null,array(array("bold")));
with:
$t = new Table;
$t-options = "nowrap";
$t-heading["bgcolor"] = "black";
$t-heading["fontcolor"] = "white";
$t-global["font"] = "tahoma";
$t-global["fontsize"] = 12;
$t-column["total"]["format"] = "bold";
could more fairly have used something like:
$t=create_table();
$t['options'] = "nowrap";
$t['heading']['bgcolor']= "black";
etc.
As you can see, there is hardly any difference at all.
My point is really that you can use whatever technique you want, but you can
get your code reuse, readability and maintainability from either. As you
might have guessed, I favour procedural as I feel that more of the code is
visible and in my control.
YMMV

Re: [PHP] foo[bar] _or_ foo['bar'] ?

Bad practice alert!!!
Derek Sivers wrote:
I had heard someone on the list say that it's always best to use quotes,
for the same reason as XHTML, where every value MUST have quotes.
But honestly I've been using only NO-quotes all year and find it much
easier to read. And NEVER any problem!
Also makes it easier when you need to use an array variable inside a quoted
string:
print "Hello there $client[name]";
If your php error reporting level is set to show warnings (which it should
be on your development machines) then referring to
$foo[bar]
will give
Warning: Use of undefined constant bar - assumed 'bar' in
whatever/yourscript.php on line n
So php only works in this case because it couldn't find bar in it's list of
constants, and guessed at the mistake you made. This just slows things down.
I can't see any advantage at all to missing the quotes out.
Your example could be written
print "Hello there {$client['name']}";
Sorry to sound stroppy :)

[PHP] building binary data structures
Having written loads of stuff in PHP, I find myself having for the first time to generate binary data in memory - I actually need to build a native file for a drawing program in memory. The data consists mainly of lists of 32bit little endian integers - some signed and some unsigned. I've started the work, and am building the data up in a string variable. I know however that I am about to get bitten by numeric overflows. For example if I have a function create_thingy($param1,$param2) where param1 is an unsigned 32 bit int, and the top bit is set, then I suspect that php will probably represent the number as floating point, and I'll probably lose some precision. Has anybody been here before and found a good mode of working in the unsigned 32bit arena?

Re: [PHP] comparisons
In spite of yor best efforts here, PHP converts the string values to numbers (because
the strings look like numbers) before doing the comparison.
Force a string comparison by using strcmp and everything will work fine - remember
that strcmp returns true if the strings are not equal and false if equal.

Hello,
I'm having a rather strange problem. I'm trying to compare two values. "01" and
"1". The variables names that they are submitted under are pick1 and pick2. i use
the following code
$mypick1 = strval($pick1);
$mypick2 = strval($pick2);
I then perform the following comparison:
if ($mypick1 == $mypick2)
{
$error = 1;
$errorstring[1] = "Your first pick and second pick are the same.";
}
However, I get the error that they are equal.
If I call the comparison as foloows:
if(strval($mypick1) == strval($mypick2)
{
$error = 1;
$errorstring[1] = "Your first pick and second pick are the same.";
}
I still get the error. Anyone have any ideas? These two valuse mustbe evaluated as
different.
Thanks in advance
