Seems like it is a standard html-problem.
IE shows most webbpages, even if they're not strictly html-coded from the
standard of html.
FireFox is more sensitive about the strict html-code.

This is more of a CSS issue. You should be using a "printer friendly"
CSS for printing.
AFAIK there is no PHP code that will help here.
I would suggest googling for printer friendly CSS or try at csszen.com
or something.
Another way of looking at it, would be to use a stream to write to
IPP:// ...

Hi all,

problem with the printing and print preview.
I have a dynamic table that can span various pages depending on the
number of records pulled from the database.
The print preview (and printed page) doesnt print the first few rows but
instead just prints blank then only prints the last line of the table on
a new page. The table is embedded inside a fieldset component. Im not
sure if its a mozilla/firefox bug because it seems fine in IE.
Has anyone come across this problem before?
Thanks in advance

I'm very familiar with the problem. Suggest:
All modern browsers are W3C compliant. IE6 is not; but, IE7 will be.
You may as well fix it now. Otherwise, you'll need to do later this year for
IE7.
To fix the problem, start by running the W3C markup and css validators. If you are not using css for presentation; do
so. Get your code to generate W3C compliant html code. Check it with Firefox. If necessary, which is rare, you many
need to check the client's browser type and send a special IE6 version of the page.

Windows Server
Apache2
OpenSSL
I am new to working with SSL Certs so I am sure I did something wrong
somewhere. Where???? I have no idea!
We needed an SSL Cert for our website. I created the CSR using
openssl req -new -out uwm.csr
answered all of the questions, went to GoDaddy and did a copy and paste into
their text area, and created a certificate. I took the output of the
certificate key, created a notepad file, copied the text into the file, and
named it uwm.crt.
I restarted apache and it would not start. Using the expired cert, apache
worked.
So where have I gone wrong? ALL help is GREATLY appreciated!
TIA

I like using mktime() whenever I pull dates from a database.
Get your date from the query, store it to a value:
$val = mktime($qval);
Then you can compare any part of the date you want by using
date().
if( date( "m", date(now)) == date( "m", $val ))
m = month

Ok. Thanks.
One more question. I have dates as a datetime in DB. Like 2006-08-11
08:20:00 and I'm playing only with date part in the calendar 2006-08-11. So
how to compare this date to the datetime info in DB? Do I need to use
DATE_FORMAT or someting like this in the query?
Thanks

I use Slackware linux, and XMLRPC is not compiled in by default with my
distro, so I'm compiling PHP myself. It's always been a simple enough task.
First I get and install the required xmlrpc-epi libraries, and then I compile
PHP telling it where I just installed them. Now I get this error message:
undefined reference to `libiconv'
when compiling PHP. I did some searching, and the only thing I've found in
reference to this error was a bug in version 4.3.10. Has anyone run into
this issue, or have some suggestions?
I have checked that /usr/include/iconv.h is there, and it defines all the
iconv_* and iconv compiler flags etc. I can also vouch that using iconv on
the command line works just fine.
Thanks,

Here's an even better idea. Why don't YOU send me the $90 and then I'll
keep it. How about that?

Hmm I do not know, what you are talking about, but in the last 2 month
I have received no singel SPAM...
Are you using Windows?
Is your E-Mail hit by a spamer directly?
I was wondering about...
I use Debian Sarge/3.1, fetchmail, procmail, maildrop, courier, php5

Hello,
I have around 8000 VHosts and normaly do not use "suphp" for security
reason. All VHosts have there own UID/GID and the Apache VHosts are
setup with
User $UID
Group $GID
Now I have added to a singel VHost directive
<ifModule mod_actions.c>
Action application/x-httpd-php /cgi-bin/php5
</ifModule>
and NOT restarted Apache as written. I have killed it and then started
from scratch but nothing is working...
Then I have removed "libapache-mod-php5" and now Mozilla let me download
the php files and if I use <http://domain/server-info> I see the
"mod_actions" enabled and the "Action" is configured. Now I have
restarted the Server again and I get an error 500.
The problem is, that I need "libapache-mod-php5" on all VHosts,
but php-cgi only on 7.
So what is the secret to get "suphp" running?
Yet I have reinstalled "libapache-mod-php5" and the Website is working
again, but I can not use 'fopen("/home/server/log/some.log", "a")'.
I need "suphp" only on those 7 VHosts, since the must write to some
files OUTSIDE of the $DOCUMENTROOT but in the USERSPACE of the VHost.
Greetings

I'll try to explain my problem as better as I can. Please, be "gentle" :)
I developed a program for our salespeople (only them, no public) where
they can order items for their customers. Order form is made of 6 pages
(order info, items info, artwork, ad copies,...). Also, they use the same
program to manipulate saved/submitted orders, send confirmation to
customers, requests to suppliers,... Code works fine. But this morning I
found a bug that if Salesperson open 2nd window in this program, since it
has the same session id, it would make a mess with session. I.e., on 1st
window I'm doing an order. Order ID, customer ID, transaction ID are
stored in session table. In the middle of the order I open 2nd window to
check a price on an other customer order. After I opened that order "new"
order ID and customer ID are stored now in session table and the order
(1st window) is now broken or goes to wrong place.
Or, I'm sending request for approval of an order to customer. But, second
before I submit the request, I open an order of other customer. Other
customer ID is now stored in session table and conf. email goes to wrong
place.
There are few more scenarios of "bug make mess".
Did anybody had a problem with "2nd window" and how is it solved? What's
wrong with structure/idea I used to make a program?
Any comment will be helpful to determine or give me an idea how to fix
this bug.
Thanks for any help.

the problem is not '2nd Window' but rather that you are using the session id
to uniquely indentify an order [manipulation] process/transaction (which
consists
of multiple http requests) ...
a very crude idea below (you have to add a request variable named 'ordertransid'
in all links pointing to pages that have to act on an existing order
transaction,
leaving it out would generate a new order transaction (on the relevant page[s])
for which you can then use the newly appointed transaction id to point
subsequent
pages to the transaction that was just created:
function getOrderTransactionData()
{
if (!$_SESSION['ordertransstack']) {
$_SESSION['ordertransstack'] = array();
}
$transid = @$_REQUEST['ordertransid'];
if (!$transid || !isset($_SESSION['ordertransstack'][$transid])) {
$transid = count($_SESSION['ordertransstack']);
$_SESSION['ordertransstack'][$transid] =
initNewOrderTransactionData();
} else {
$data = $_SESSION['ordertransstack'][$transid];
}
return array('ordertransid' => $transid, 'data' =>
$_SESSION['ordertransstack'][$transid]);
}
function setOrderTransactionData($data)
{
if (!$_SESSION['ordertransstack']) {
$_SESSION['ordertransstack'] = array();
}
$transid = @$_REQUEST['ordertransid'];
if ($transid && isset($_SESSION['ordertransstack'][$transid])) {
$_SESSION['ordertransstack'][$transid] = $data;
return true;
}
return false;
}
function deleteOrderTransaction()
{
$transid = @$_REQUEST['ordertransid'];
if ($transid && isset($_SESSION['ordertransstack'][$transid])) {
unset($_SESSION['ordertransstack'][$transid]);
return true;
}
return false;
}
list($orderTransId, $orderTransData) = getOrderTransactionData();
on rereading your post - your storing session data in a db, why bother; secondly
it sounds like you just overwriting the session record with a new transaction
id rather than adding a new transaction id [record] and leaving any already
existing
transactions available.
basically pass the transaction id around when you need to keep referring to
an existing transactions and maintain a 'stack' of active transactions.

Based on the general description you've given, I could imagine adding
a 'step number' in your session. Then validate it against what step
is being loaded. So, if you set your Session 'step' variable to 5,
and page 6 is loaded, that would seem OK. If your Session 'step'
variable is 6, and page 2 is loaded, that could throw an error.
I should note that I think my solution is treating the symptom rather
than the disease. I don't know enough about your application to tell
you what the right solution should be, but I think there must be a
more graceful way to handle this.

Hello everyone,
I successfully compiled PHP 4.4.3 and PHP 5.1.4 today. I'm having a problem
with loading the PDFLib extension (pdflib_php.so). It works fine in PHP 4,
but PHP5 is not loading it. I do know that I have the file in the correct
location (same as the mysql.so file), and when I take out mysql.so, then
mysql functions are not available. I am not sure why this module is not
loading.
I checked the error_log, and I didn't get any error messages at all. STFW
didn't give me a whole lot of information. Anyone have any ideas of where to
look to find out why it's not loading?
Thanks,

Was the module compiled for 5? Check the apache error.log. If the .so
can't resolve a symbol or similar, usually that type of error appears in
the apache error log. Also, of course the .so needs to be in the right
location and the php.ini needs the appropriate extension directive.

Thanks for the info. I found out I had to download the latest version of
PDFlib to support PHP 5.1.X. It's working fine now.
