Nops, not that thread. Look for the subject "language files", the mail was sent

linux shell script in it for converting emails from EVOLUTION to MOZILA
THUNDERBIRD just by executing
this script. if anybody need it, do let me know, i will send the same.
2) i am also exploring possibilities of using linux dialog boxes (used in shell
scripting)
with PHP. has anybody tried it, may please advise me how to call dialog boxes
through PHP in CLI.
also please share with me if u have information on how to use PHP with Shell
Scripting.

I don't think you'll find anything in PHP as simple as the shell
script version of dialog, but you may be able to bang something
together like that using ncurses.
Probably handier if your time is more important than the machines, to
just use the shell version using one of the Program Executions
functions.
Personally I suggest passthru:
<?php
function yesno($str){
$tmpvar = 0; // to avoid E_NOTICE
passthru("dialog --yesno " . escapeshellarg($str) . " 200 10", $tmpvar);
return $tmpvar;
}
?>

I'm working on a website for a musical outfit where different levels of
access are required depending on the specific section.
Writers will have access to a section of the site where they can listen to
an entire album (for review).
Radio personnel will have access to a section of the site where they can
download radio-quality mp3 versions of singles.
Can anyone suggest how to approach this?
Is the easiest way to set up a table of username and passwords associated
with an id which would let me know what level of access they have and direct
them accordingly?
Thanks in advance...

You can make a list of all actions that can be performed in your system, and
then map subsets of these actions to roles. Then each actor (user of the
system) gets a role and you can easily check if he can do a certain action.

Subject: RE: [PHP] Reverse plural forms to singular for search
That sounds like a nightmare! Assuming you are talking about English,
you might be able to make some progress by removing trailing s or es for
words. This would trim words down to their stem. You could do this with
a regular expression, which will need to do something like look for es
or s with no preceding s at the end of words (to avoid trimming words
like glass).
It will not catch forms like medium/media and thesis/theses. You could
think about trying to trim words like that down to their stem (med in
this case). In fact, would just trimming off the last two letters and
searching for that do for you? It depends on the range of words you are
searching for.
Good luck
Mark

I'm trying to reverse plural forms to singular ones
and use the result for search [in database].
Is there any third party product to integrate with
PHP, or some reliable algorithm?

I need to know the difference between two numbers...
eg:
$a = 7;
$b = 27;
somefunction($a, $b)
// outputs "20"
$a = 10;
$b = 12;
somefunction($a, $b)
// outputs "2"
etc...
does that exist?

Hey all,
trying to dynamically size cell widths; what I need is a formula to measure

simple function f(x) = strlen(x) * SOMECONSTANT just doesn't seem to cut it,
as returned widths are to small are long. Any ideas?

I noticed you never had a reply for this, its probably because this is
non standard, or totally not heard of. What I would do, (even though I
have yet to try this), is run php standard as a module in apache, but
then run the tomcat connector jk or jk2 into apache, so it will run
seamlessly. There is prob alot of settings to configure to do it
though. Tomcat has a nice easy to understand xml descriptor, i actually
prefer them than .conf files ;)

mysql. I have the php4-mysql package installed.
If i run php -i from the commandline its telling me that I have
mysql-support and a small php-script runned from the commandline
verifies
this.
But if i run phpinfo() from a php-page under tomcat there is no support
for mysql (or anyother extension). It tells me that its using
/etc/php.ini
and I have enabled the mysql extension in it.
Anyone who knows why tomcat failes to find the php-extensions?

The browser sends $_POST, you can't just tell PHP to accept it
the one time, and not the other, unless you use sessions of course.
You might also try to refresh using a "302"-header I think, but I
forgot how it worked exactly. It makes the browser refresh so that
next time the user presses F5 or something the POST-data doesn't
get sent.

Your best bet is to check that the data has not already been inserted
rather than try to fiddle with the post:
Don't know what db you are using but something like
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT X FROM Y WHERE Z=1)
INSERT INTO Y VALUES X
Cheers

I just ordered a CueCat from eBay to play with reading Barcodes. Of
course we'll use a Symbol or some other reader when we implement this
in production, but I thought this would be a start. There are several
classes at phpclasses.org
(http://www.google.com/custom?q=barcode&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=ISO-8859-1&c2coff=1&client=pub-2951707118576741&cof=FORID:1%3BL:http://files.phpclasses.org/graphics/googlesearch.jpg%3BLH:50%3BLW:256%3BGL:1%3BBGC:A3C5CC%3BT:%23000000%3BLC:%230000ff%3BVLC:%23663399%3BALC:%230000ff%3BGALT:%23663399%3BGFNT:%230000ff%3BGIMP:%230000ff%3BDIV:%23222222%3BLBGC:A3C5CC%3BAH:center%3BS:http://www.phpclasses.org/search.html%3B&domains=www.phpclasses.org&sitesearch=www.phpclasses.org&start=10&sa=N)
for generating barcodes. At this point I'm assuming a form with a text
field with onchange="this.form.submit();" would handle reading the
barcode and submitting it. I'm assuming we would need to have all our
barcodes in a single format (codabar, code39, etc). Would I then need
to store barcode data. The barcodes will be generated from unique part
numbers so I'm thinking I can generate them (and compare them to
input) on the fly.

Thanks for any help,
Mike Smith

--- Begin Message ---
Thanks Jason,
I'll pass along any info I come across. I can generate barcodes easily
enough. I guess I'll wait until I get the CueCat and see what troubles
I run into. Our suppliers seem willing to cooperate in terms of
putting whatever barcode we tell them to.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi list:
I'm receive a theme class call Computers Graphics in wich my and my friends
programming making use of OpenGL library. Few day ago I have a brilliiant or an
stupid idea to narrate to my teacher if I can make my final course project with
PHP. They tell me that is possible always I use OpenGL. So, I investigate in
Discussion Boards and they tell me that exists SDL library and I can use it to
comunicate my application with OpenGL. Well Y have the phpSDL library and I
made my fisrt things. But I have a problem and it's that I haven't more
information to continue. If exists somebody in this list that this idea pass
for his mind can help me? Or somebody know how obtain documentation about it?
