Hi,
how could I identify the server the script runs on?
I've got a testserver on Windows and a remote system on Linux that need a
couple of different settings like IP and port of db-server or folder to store
logfiles.
I'd like to do something like:
if ( $_SERVER['some_key'] = 'my_test_box' ) {
$db_host = '1.1.1.1';
$db_port = 1234;
} else {
$db_host = '2.2.2.2';
$db_port = 4321;
}
I looked into phpinfo() but haven't found anything helpful, yet.
Have I overlooked something or is there another way to identify the server?
php_uname('n'); http://php.net/php_uname
folks try:
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']
Cheers,
Curtis

This may work in some circumstances, but not others.
For example, I have a VPS with several sites hosted on it. php_uname
will always return the default host name, which very likely might be
different than the virtual host's hostname.
I'm not doing any ssh tunnelling in my local setups, so looking at
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] works for me, but obviously won't for you. I
simply set up the /etc/hosts file with a lot of aliases, and then they
can become virtual hosts.

Hi folks. A friend of mine is trying to learn PHP. She already knows
programming basics, but wants to learn PHP specifically. However, she
learns much better with assignments or exercises than just from reading
articles or books.
The only site I've found so far is PHP Exercises
(http://phpexercises.com/), but it of course went offline the day after
I found it. Fail!
Can anyone recommend other sources for tutorial-based or exercise-based
PHP learning? Paid is OK if it's not too expensive and it's worth the
money, although free is always preferred.
TIA and all that.

IMO, the best way is to learn something is by cloning. Convince your friend
to clone a simple website. If you exercise it, your target would be to pass
in the exercise. After you pass, you forget it. When it comes to real deal,
you never forget it.

This is not a bad idea at all. Learning from something concrete, how
they do things, looking into why they chose to do it that, etc. Don't
pick just one, though, as there are many examples to learn from. CMSes
(Drupal, Joomla), Wikis (Mediawiki, PmWiki), Blog software
(Wordpress). These all solve similar and different problems.
Also, I cannot stress Tommy's point about learning design patterns
enough. It isn't enough to be able to just cable together code, you have
to know the structures and architecture to building something that won't
fall down. Programming isn't something you learn in a weekend
project. It's also not something you learn just by reading a language
manual, even one as good as PHP's. No language manual is going to give
you any insight into deciding among the many options that are available.

Hi everyone,
5.3.9RC2 works fine with all my apps so far. 5.4RC2 broke with sqlsvr
and its PDO in addition to Wincache, which I've already brought to MS'
attention. What's the estimated official release of 5.4? I can't
wait for the feature session.upload_progress* in 5.4 which I need to
do some testing as how I can implement that into my existing apps!!!
That's just awesome!! Thanks for all your continuous hard work :)
Platform: Win08R2/IIS7.5 SP1 with current patches running PHP as FastCGI.
Applications:
drupal, joomla, mediawiki, wordpress, and a few of my own :)
Cheers,
Tommy
