I guess what I'm really asking is do the php_admin environment variables
that can get set in Apache get passed to the CGI version of php when
called as a CGI ?

Hi all,
In the quest to secure php script running, I am starting to think about
running php as a cgi instead of through the module.
I generally set the open_basedir directory within the apache
configuration file for individual hosts. If I ran php as a CGI, would
that directive still be in effect ? or do I have to set that in a
php.ini file that is specific for that virtual host ?
The directive will be effectve for which ever apache's <Directory>
direcve applies, other wise the setting to the default directory
will be used.
php in general, has no clue about virtual hosts. This is rather a
appache issue.

Since this is a PHP list I'm assuming that you want to learn php
programming. That being the case, I'd suggest that you first of all go
to the PHP website and download the manual. You don't get better docs
than the PHP docs, and they are an excellent learning resource for
PHP.
PHP is a good language to start off with, because (a) it's relitively
easy, (b), it borrows syntax from C, and Perl, both of which you
should consider as well if you are serious about programming. Both PHP
and Java borrow syntax from C, and since php5 borrows its object
model, from Java, PHP5 will be a great help for you if/when you decide
to learn java.
Having that said, I'd suggest you consider Python as well, it's a
simple powerful Object Oriented language, that's easy to learn. Due to
its emphasis on whitespace, as part of its syntax, it is also easy to
read, something that can't really be said in general for C/Java/PHP,
and certainly can't be said for Perl(note that it is possible to write
readable code in Perl, but not very common).
For a beginer to programming I'd read up on C, Java, Perl, and PHP,
decide which one you want to start with, and jump in.

Well said Rory Browne
after that I recommend downloading some php scripts and start reading
their codes and understanding the programming design
style..

Hi all,
I think I shouldnt post this here...but i didnt find proper support at the
jpgraph
forums.
I'm using PHP 4.3.9 with GDK precompiled on apache2 using win2k.
When i open any of the jpgraph example files its giving me an error saying
"IE cannot find the site your are requesting". But when i remove some code
in the example file and refresh the page its working and when i put the deleted
code again back in that file and refresh its displaying the graph. When i close
and open a fresh browser the same problem persisting. Couldnt find what might
be the problem.
Again ...i'm sorry for posting this topic here...

Hey Guys,
I don´t know if anyone agrees with me, but I really dismiss this kind
of comment: http://www.google.com/search?q=mysql&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
In fact, before I ask anything in this forum, I do search others
sources (including google, phpbuilder, phpfreaks, sf.net, ,php.net,...)
and I believe that others do too. So I think that this is the worst
kind of comment or suggestion someone can receive.
Sorry everybody.

Thank you for all responses about this topic.
I would also solve a more practical doubt finally: if I use
for example the PHP code 'POP3class', as suggested by
Manuel Lemos, it's implicitly meant that it should run periodically
on a web-server (for example, under a timer of a given number
of seconds), don't you?
Example: check pop3 mailbox every 5 secs by php code and
then perform all the required actions.

Yes, but perhaps every 5 minutes. You have to solve this too, either
cron job if you have it available or it can be trigered by user http
requests (not very reliable).

You just need to get the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE environment variable and see
the order of the prefered languages.
After that, you see if you have a translation for the first language, if the
site doesn't have it, try for the next language, and so on.

We would like to identify the country of the people who connect to our

Is that possible? Has anybody ever doen anything like that using php?

Hi,
I believe you can detect via the browser settings which language the user is
using and then display the correct page depending on this. The PHP.net web
site itself does this in some form whether or not by my suggested method I
do not know, but it uses some form of detection to direct the user to the
appropriate mirror web site.

Hello,
I was reading the book "Programming PHP" (O'Reilly) and

how to get the Web-Clients prefered Languages.
I was thinking it is in the $_SERVER Variable but nothing.

Hi Michelle,
I believe you can detect it from the $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']
superglobal.
There is a good thread on this topic at:

Not right, because curently I have only Mailaccess to the Internet
and browsing <http://www.php.net/> with Lynx is a horror.
The book "Programming PHP" (O'Reilly) is from Marchg 2002 and
between the Pages 160-162 (Server Informations) there is no
description of it.

Thanks and now it works...

Maybe with Windows but not on a Linux console
which is my second home for many years.

Does anyone has a solid benchmark about comments speed.. I mean, too
many comments will decrease speed of the PHP scripts...
I've tried without success using a class, and also a simple micro-time
