[PHP] using declare .. ticks functionality
Hi All,
Quick question, has anyone had any luck using the
register_tick_function
and
declare (ticks=32){ ...}
construct?
I have a need to try this out to measure the times taken in various
functions etc using this sort of method, I want to know is there any way of
extracting the function name or some sort of useful information and passing
it to the registered tick function.
Thanks for any help
Cheers

[PHP] php development environment
Hi All, Does anyone know if there is a good php development environment around, you know something that will hold a list of functions/classes so you don't have to scroll through thousands of line of code looking for a few lines of spurious code...and all the other goodies that come with that sort of thing.. At the moment I use homesite which is pretty cool and makes all me lines come out in pretty colours, but I am getting frustrated as things are growing..

[PHP] problem loading extension
Hi All, I have just been trying to add some more extensions to my site, I have copied the dll's for the extensions I wish to add to my extensions dir and uncommented them in my php.ini. This worked fine for all of them which include ctype, gd etc. , except for the xslt extension which will just not work for me... I am getting this message. PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\dll\./php_xslt.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0 The file is most definitely there and if I move one of the other extension files I get the same message for them, not sure what I am doing wrong.

RE: [PHP] People who searched this also searched this!
This sounds a lot harder than it is, all you have to do is first of all make some space ion your db then you need to cache searches that users have done. Store the group of searches for unique users, then if someone does a search match it against the cache and pop up all items which were retrieved by the other cached searches for the other id's (you can build up the most popular items if there are lots of matches).. Amazon also caches your own searches and starts displaying groups of products which they know you were interested in and related products, I usually find them spot on so their logic is very good - it is bad for the credit card though :( Cheers Simon -Original Message- From: Maxim Maletsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 14 October 2002 16:42 To: Randum Ian Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] People who searched this also searched this!

RE: [PHP] Updating session variables values during session
Have you tried it like this?
$_SESSION['sess_client'] = $ClientName;
$_SESSION['sess_ref_clientFact'] = $ClientRef;
If it still gives you the old vars I would look at where the $ClientName and
$ClientRef are coming from.

Hi,

I'm trying, during the session time, to change the value of 2 session
variables:
My first attempt was simply like this:
$sess_client = $theClient;
$sess_ref_clientFact = $theRefClient;
...but following pages still get old values from the session variables.
Then I tried this:
session_unregister("sess_client");
session_unregister("sess_ref_clientFact");
$sess_client = $ClientName;
$sess_ref_clientFact = $ClientRef;
session_register("sess_client");
session_register("sess_ref_clientFact");
Same, following pages get old values from these 2 session variables...
I would appreciate if I could get some help ?

[PHP] Forms issues..
I am having difficulty managing forms. for example I have a table builder class which builds me a table of a query with all the bells and whistles to make it editable etc. so it creates it's own form to build itself on, then I have a dateselector class which builds a nice little graphic date selector, this also uses it's own form as it is not always in a table - it can be anywhere - as far as I know you can't have a form in a form so I am cheating a bit at the moment and only creating the dateselector after the table on a div then moving it into place.. This is working for me, but being a relative newbie I am sure there is a better way to handling forms. Any ideas, comments appreciated. Thanks _________ Simon Taylor AfriTol (Pty) Ltd. ?
