If you're on a shared host, that is most likely the reason it's
happening: your host likely made a change without informing you.
Since you can get everything to work with relative paths, but not

to have the chroot (jail) removed for that account.

Have you tried removing error buffering on the include()

There are going to be some SQL syntax differences, yes.  Despite
the name Standard Query Language, it's not really standard by anything
but the most basic of queries.

No, that's for MySQL, hence the name of the function,
mysql_connect().  You'll want to use mssql_connect() and the
mssql_() family of functions.  RTFM: http://php.net/mssql

If you're on a *NIX-like box, you'll also need to build and install FreeTDS.

Again, STFW and RTFM.

Also, keep in mind that you'll have to rewrite all parts of your

Of course they are different. Why would mysql_connect (note the "MYSQL"

No.

For starters, all the core developers are very committed to PHP being
Open Source.

Secondly, Zend has gone "on record" saying that the Zend Engine will

Well,

I don't know why some people gives so much importance to words. But I think it's
related to what someone said once (don't know who):

"The raw description of evil scandalizes people much more than the perpetration
of it"

I have some friends who are called *gringo* and some others who are called
*niger*. What's more, here in Argentina, many times we call ourselves *niger*
(The Spanish word is *negro*) as you would say *buddy* (like *hey niger, let's
play soccer tomorrow*), independently of skin color or social status.
We also use the same word (*niger*) in a slighting way, referring to ignorant
people or people with bad habits (among other things). But we rarely use
*gringo* in a slighting way. More often than not we call *gringa* to a hot
blonde woman. Now, in Mexico, a *gringo* would mean an US citizen most of the
time, and it would be used in a pejorative way most of the time as well. I think
you'd all benefit of reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gringo:

"In South America, the word is not pejorative. In some countries it may be used
to refer to any foreigner who does not speak Spanish, but in other countries it
is used just or especially to refer to U.S. citizens; it may also be used to
describe a blond or brunette white native person with soft facial features and
light colored eyes. For instance, it is a popular nickname"

Now, why I said *gringos*? In my case gringos meant both US citizens and
Caucasian people (specifically German people), and I didn't mean it in any
pejorative way. My company's president (who started calling me Rob in the first
place) is a native German, now living in Florida for several years. Same for her
husband, and same for many business partners or clients or friends of her. And I
have a very nice relationship with them, and they all call me Rob. If I wrote an
email signing it *Regards, Andrés*, they wouldn't know who I am (lol).

However, I must admit that I used the term *gringo* in the Mexican sense at
least once in my life, but just for the fun of it (back in 2002 when I entered
English chat rooms to perfection my English and learn a bit of the slang... I
was such a dumbass, lol).

IMHO, more important than words is the mouth that pronounces them and the ears
that hear them, my father-in-law calls me *Mr Magoo* because of my glasses, and
I call him *Viejo violeta* (something similar to *pervert*) and we get along
very well (despite I've stolen her beloved daughter :D).

It seems to me that we have many in U.S. society who still very much
want to be thought of as being oppressed.  Take this "Black History
Month" business for example, I don't recall ever having anyone
reminding me to celebrate "American Indian Heritage Month".  Or is it
because I don't live near a casino?

Seems a bit unfair, especially since I was never personally an
oppressor of Native Americans or Blacks.  But I still have to hear
about certain celebrations, every year, for an entire month.

I say drop all the silly heritage-related theme months completely and
simply celebrate humanity not having blown itself up in the past year.
 I don't need a reason to drink but that'd be one I could use all the
same.

And for the all important "record", my Mexican friend Lalo says
"gringo" isn't nearly as potent an insult as it was back in the 70's
when he actually used it towards Texans who didn't know or care that
he was also a native Texan by birth.

Well, that depends.

Too bad, you get a reply anyway.

That's EXACTLY the same thing I keep saying!  In fact,
"Gringo" is probably the most offensive, and even that doesn't phase
me.  Not only are none of the terms for whites offensive, none of them
are funny words.  I'll admit, I like the sound of some racial slurs
and derogatory terms; NOT because of the hateful epithet and
intonation, but because the word itself is funny.

And I'm a firm believer that a word only carries as much power as
you allow it.  Of course, there's still a time and place for
everything, and while I wouldn't ever scream NR at a black man, I
can't help but laugh when I hear the word.

My black friends here at work tell me that 'cracker' is indeed the
equivalent of the n-word. In fact, they tell me that they were warned
by their parents not to use it and punished severely if they did. I'm
talking about colleagues in their late 30's early 40's, so it may be a
generational artifact.

Shrug. I know in other languages there are can be slang words that defer
to Caucasians. I just can't remember any of them.

Gringos?

That brings up another subject, why is it that 
Caucasians don't have any offensive slang words? 
We are called by all sorts of slang (i.e., 
cracker, white-bread, hunkie, and so on), but we 
don't have something equivalent to the n-word/

Thanks for pointing out the *who* instead of 
*that* :), since I didn't realized

it until now.


That's alright, many English writers get that 
wrong. You see, when the object is not a person, 
then the use of "that" is proper. However, if you 
are referring to a person, then "who" is proper.


I see a similar thing with people using "then" 
when they mean "than", but that may be a Brit 
thing -- like driving on the wrong side of the 
street or eating with their fork in the wrong 
hand -- you know one of those cultural things 
that went haywire. :-)

Python is a good language.  I like it a lot for command line
programming, but it's not as prolific and well-accepted as PHP is when
considering a web language.

Yes, PHP5 went from being a crap-tastic piece of frustration when
it was a release candidate to being one of the absolute best
web-usable languages and versions (discounting CGI access, for those
of you lawyers out there!) to exist to date, in my opinion.  There's
tremendous extensibility with very little overhead, and virtually zero
financial layout.

No joke like VB.NET.  I can't see the sense in having to
define something in three lines (Ruby) when I can just use a built-in
construct to do the same in one line (PHP).

With your help and that of others continuing the spirit of the
project, it will.  Just make sure that, after you've taken enough from
the PHP community (and the open source community as a whole) to get
yourself going, you give back to help others learn as well.  That's
how the heart beats in open source.

The quick answer would be: no, nay, never.

The beauty of open source: we all own it.  Through permission
granted by the PHP license, you can do almost anything you want with
the PHP source.  Including what's called "forking": which, like a fork
in the road, means to take the project in a slightly different
direction.

PHP was never GPL'd code.  Check the license there are some
pretty big differences.  To answer your question, though, we all, as a
community, ensure that PHP remains open source, in one form or
another.

Once again, it's not GPL, but I know what you're inferring.
There's nothing to stop Zend or anyone else in the world from offering
a "closed source" PHP, but you can bet your boxers (preferably clean
and unworn) that it won't receive the same accolades or acceptance by
the masses as the free and open source option.  It may be
better-accepted by high-spending commercial interests, but it won't
exist on such a high majority of servers worldwide as it does now.

For all intents and purposes, I implore you: fear not; for PHP is,
was, and ever shall be!

The project isn't going anywhere any time in the foreseeable
future, Tamer.  PHP as an open source language is indefinite.

And on another note, if you're worried about a version you already
have installed becoming commercialized, don't.  It's virtually
impossible.

*gringos* started calling me Rob long ago. It's shorter, it's easier to
pronounce and it's a short form for my last name (Robinet). So I just adopted it
for simplicity. However it turns out to be a mess sometimes since they've called
me *Robert*, *Robbie* and whatever you can imagine that starts with Rob (lol).

Humility aside, Andrés is the best name ever! :). But my opinion might be just a
bit biased (*bias* is such a fashion these days :))

Also, It's likely that you will find spelling and grammar issues all over in my
writing, since I'm a Spanish speaker by birth and I still live in Argentina.
Thanks for pointing out the *who* instead of *that* :), since I didn't realized
it until now.

Yes you can fork it. The hardened PHP project complains that they're not
allowed to use PHP in the name hence they use Suhosin. They mostly
complain because they asked for permission and were denied and yet
looking around you see things like PHPBB and other stuff including PHP
in the name. The difference however is that PHPBB uses PHP as it's
language but does not actually modify or distribute the PHP source
itself.

Specifically permission to fork is granted by this phrase:

"Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with
 or without modification, is permitted provided that the
 following conditions are met:"

And then there's a bunch of things you must adhere to which are fairly
run of the mill.

Cheers,
Rob.

Rob,

Are you sure you can fork the *current* PHP version??? The hardened PHP project
still complains with the PHP license I think. I don't think the current PHP
version can be forked, you can fork PHP 3, but not PHP 5 for example. Maybe I'm
totally wrong, but it doesn't matter, I don't think PHP will change its license
in a substantial way, it wouldn't be profitable to anybody on the long run
(including Zend) and everyone would start switching to, say, RoR. Just my
uninformed and honest opinion.

Regards,

Rob (Other Rob that is actually called Andrés)

First off, PHP is not GPL-ed. Check this http://www.php.net/license/

Now, if all you plan to do is to *write PHP code you can sell*, I'd say you rest
assured. Nothing like MaxDB issue will ever happen to PHP (though things like
this could happen for PECL extensions who depend on third-party libraries I
think).

So, unless you are planning to distribute the Zend Scripting Engine ALONE as
part of a commercial product (say you want to use PHP to script against a
desktop application, like VBA works for MS Word), you are also safe about Zend.

Keep in mind also, that the worst problem with closed source software is lack of
support if the company goes out of business. I believe that will never happen to
PHP. It can happen to some extensions, but only those that rely on third-party
functionality (say, the mysql extension), so the problem is not PHP itself (and
you'll have the same problem for every other language).

As this is not an authoritative answer, you'd better off sending an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] explaining what you are planning to do and your concerns on 
the
future of PHP.

Regards,

Rob

It doesn't matter. The PHP code as it is has been released under the PHP
License. This means if the future versions were ever released under
another license that was exclusionary, then there is still the
opportunity to fork code released under the PHP license. Heck you can
fork the PHP project now if you felt you could get the ball rolling with
enough momentum for acceptance. If beleive the hardened PHP project is
considered a fork despite the fact it generally keeps full compatibility
while adding security enhancements.

Cheers,
Rob.

source.xls just contains a bit of text, right? And you want that to end up
in a Javascript variable?

First, I'd use file_get_contents() or file() to get the contents of
source.xls into a PHP array.

$source = file_get_contents ('http://.../source.xls');

Next, you have to remember that Javascript is just text, the same as HTML.
So you can embed $source into a Javascript block in the same way as you
would embed it into HTML.


function doAlert ()
{
var source = "";
alert (source);
}


Click Me

Apologies for any mistakes in the Javascript, but I'm sure you get the idea.

I am reading a book about php, in its security section, it says " it is more

MySQL support is built in to PHP.

It really supports it -- but, of course, that's of no use to you if you don't have a 
MySQL server running!

The Zend scripting language engine is a major part of PHP, so of course you will see 
that that is installed.

It is one possible solution to your problem, yes.
ASP, JSP and ColdFusion can do this as well, but being a PHP-lover I 
would recommend PHP. Hell, I know _why_ I love PHP...

I've been looking at using PHP but am unsure if it will do what I want.
What first attracted me to PHP is the claim that I can embed PHP code
within my html file and have it build dynamic content.  Perhaps someone
on the list can confirm that ic can do as follows:

I have a web page that contains various graphics and text.  At the
bottom of the page, I have a table of one row by two columns.  Using PHP
