Re: [PHP] PHP PostgreSQL

True, changing schema is a major PITA with Postgres. My only real complaint about it, in fact... Have you installed the recent PostgreSQL version 7.3 already? This new version allows the use of ALTER TABLE much like you'd want it. Vincent -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

And what the hell is this thingy, i cant see to find anything on it in the manual, and search doesnt work for chars like that. The represses error messages. For example: mail('', 'subject', 'body'); will produce an error message, that the to address is bad, while mail('', 'subject', 'body'); will silently fail. Rather than doing that, it's better to write your code so that there won't be error messages in the first place. Not only that: if you are running a production server, you will probably want to log your error messages to a file (or syslog, or whatever), instead of printing them. So 'display_errors' should be off. If that is the case, you don't need to use anymore, because there will be no HTML output even in case of problems. The advantage of this is that you can use the exact same code on a development server (with display_errors = on) and a production server.

[PHP] Re: Session + IIS

Does anyone know what the status of these problems are and which PHP version has stable session management on a windows platform. When register_globals is off (and it should be), sessions do not work properly with PHP 4.1.2. I can tell you this really gave me a serious headache :-) PHP 4.1.1 works fine, and so does PHP 4.2.0. So if I were you, I'd install the latter one.
