you need to be more clear.
number of characters in the string except space?
number of distinct characters in the string except space?
include other non-space whitespace (\t \n \r etc)?
case sensitive?
this is really not hard at all and would be educational for you to
write yourself, as an exercise in learning php.
one approach:
1. create an empty string, charsfound.
for each character in your input string, see if the character already
exists in charsfound (use strchr or strpos).
if it's a space, continue the loop (don't exec the code below).
if it's already there, skip to the next character.
if it's not yet there, increment a counter, add the character to
charsfound and continue the loop.
at the end of the input string exit the loop. the counter is the
number of distinct non-space characters in the input string.
putting the "increment a counter" elsewhere (but in the appropriate
places) in the loop will give you the number of non-space (not distinct)
characters in the input string.

--- Begin Message ---> who knowes how to count the charcaters in a string without the space > character? Using a regular expression to strip out all the spaces before passing to the word counting function seems easiest. You'll be left to adapt it to PHP, but the regexp is: 's/ //g' That removes all spaces. If it gives an error, try s/\ //g to escape the space. Pass the result to whatever you use to count the number of characters. -Jeff SIG: HUP--- End Message ---

--- Begin Message --- Hello ppl,
Well, I want to compate date is php, could anybody tell me which is the best way to do so? I have tried various ways but nothing seems consistent.
I tried for example:
if("2003-1-15" > "2003-1-11")
{
echo "true";
}
which doesn't work in some cases...
Thank you!
Best Regards,
Dhaval

Actually the above should work in all cases as you're comparing two strings
constants :)
In any case if your dates are in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) then simple
comparison using >, <, ==, etc should always work fine.

Take a look at http://ca.php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php for more info. Incidentally, if you allow me a bit of shameless self-promotion, there was an article on how to do this (and a bit more if you want to get into .NET) in this month's issue of php|architect.

I use PHP to get one line from a file,But it has to read the entire file.
This is unefficient.
Now I want to get the line which I want, and the PHP only read the line.
Are there a good method to improve it?

scanning the file with fgets is very slow. using external tools which
are specialized for the task of scanning for lines will generally
yield much better results.
if you're on unix, then a combination of head and tail (or just head
or tail, if you just want the first or last line of a file) will generally get
you any line. e.g., if you want the 5th line of a file, you can say:
cat filename | head -n 5 | tail -n 1
(use popen to start that process running and read its output).
on the other hand, if you don't know just which line number it is
you want, then some more complicated method (probably involving
grep, as suggested by Marco) will generally get you what you
need. if what you need is even more complex than this, then you
will probably just have to scan the file with fgets although it
might still be possible with a combination of unix command line
tools such as head, tail, grep, etc).
if you're on windows and don't have access to those tools, well,
you're on your own. you would probably be able to get better
performance by writing the program to get the line in C/C++
or some other compiled language and just popen that from
php.

This however works under *NIX systems. I'm not sure if there's a different
of doing it under Windows or if this is a bug in Apache. Any ideas?

--- Begin Message ---Toying with Apache further, I actually was able to get this to work a few minutes I posted the thread. What I was doing wrong was running PHP as a CGI rather than using it as SAPI module. Hopefully this helps other folks as I was going nuts going through google.com trying to find a solution. Add this line to your httpd.conf with the path to php4apache.dll included in the Windows distribution: LoadModule php4_module C:\apache\php\sapi\php4apache.dll Then add this line: AddModule mod_php4.c Then add the MIME types for PHP: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml Also, you'll need to copy php4ts.dll into your c:\Windows\System32 folder.

--- Begin Message --- Im trying to clean up xml data of illegal characters.
I need a pointer as to how to get a regex to perform this.
Here is my feable attempt ->
<?php
header('Content-type: text/plain');
$foo = '<title>It\'s a test</title>';
//$bar = preg_replace('/[^\w\s<>\/]+/', ''', $foo);
$bar = preg_replace('/(<title>)([\'])(<\/title>)/', '$1' . ''' . '$3', $foo);
echo $bar;
?>
Im trying the 2nd way, because I want to only do this clean up between certain tags..
Thanks for any help you may provide.

If you're using a relatively recent version of PHP, you should use $_SESSION.

register_globals cannot be set at runtime (to be precise, it can be set but it
has no effect). If it works for you, you should report it as a bug!

--- Begin Message --- I have a database that was created on an earlier version of PostgreSQL and uses global variables with register_globals = on for php4.
I have migrated the database to postgresql-7.3.1 with mod_php-4.2.3 and have set the register_globals to on. In order to use the default setting of register_globals = off, I need to reprogram my php files.
I would appreciate some suggestions on how to go about modifying the code. Is there a script that could be run on each file to convert to the superglobals that would work with the register_globals off?
I also need to know the exact syntax: for example, one current line is -
include "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/../lib/somefile.conf";
Someone did suggest the following:
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../lib/somefile.conf';
however, there is a difference in the use of the quotation marks and I do not understand the use of the . and ..
Could someone explain, please?

If only it was that easy ;)
The best thing to do is crank up error reporting to maximum (errors AND
notices). You should see a lot of undefined or uninitialized variables
notices/warnings. Find out where those variables are coming from (GET, POST
or whatever) and change them appropriately. Eg you have a form with
method=POST and a single text element called 'name'. Instead of using just
$name in your code you need to use $_POST['name'].

It used to be that $DOCUMENT_ROOT was a predefined variable in the global
scope. Thus you could use it directly in a string like in your first
statement. Now DOCUMENT_ROOT can only be obtained from the $_SERVER array.
Between strings and variables the period (.) acts as a concatenation operator.
The second statement can be reformatted to make it clearer:
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/../lib/somefile.conf';
Hopefully you can clearly see that the left side is equivalent to
$DOCUMENT_ROOT and the right side is just a string. The '..' in the string on
the right has nothing to with PHP, it's just the standard way to denote the
parent directory.
Single-quoted strings are literal strings, double-quoted strings does variable
expansion.
The second statement can also be rewritten as:
"{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/../lib/somefile.conf";

Most of the variables should be fairly obvious, I should think. So, it should not be too difficult to do some search & replace of stuff like the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] stuff. I suppose I could then try to run the stuff with error reporting maxed out.
Does that seem about right or should I start with the error reports and go at it one by one. Being terribly lazy, I suppose makes me want to find shortcuts.
I understand laziness is also a sign of genius... :))

You have started a new thread by taking an existing posting and replying to
it while you changed the subject.
That is bad, because it breaks threading. Whenever you reply to a message,
your mail client generates a "References:" header that tells all recipients
which posting(s) your posting refers to. A mail client uses this information
to build a threaded view ("tree view") of the postings.
With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature; your
posting shows up within an existing thread it has nothing to do with.
Always do a fresh post when you want to start a new thread. To achieve this,
click on "New message" instead of "Reply" within your mail client, and enter
the list address as the recipient. You can save the list address in your
address book for convenience.
