Can someone point me at examples or directions on how I can pass a
variable via a URL in the following way:
http://server.domain.com//script///variable/
I will only be passing one single /variable/. And I want the
/script/ to use that.
I don't want to see what the script is, for example I don't want it
to say 'script.php' or 'script.html' ...
Is this possible through PHP only, or do I have to write a rewrite
directive in Apache to accomplish this?

A URL has to point to a script - how will your server know what to do with
the incoming URL if it doesn't point to something? That said - format your
URL as a GET string and there's your variable.
Ex.:
http://server.domain.com/(scriptname)?variableanothervariableanothervariable
Or - if this url is coming from an already running script, you could post
the var to a session var and then send a url without the script name and let
your server's default document (index.php ?) receive it and look up the
session var, but that's a pretty silly way to handle things just to hide the
scriptname.
Of course, someone here with much more knowledge than I could very soon make
me look stupid :)

Hello everyone,
Got a quick one (I hope), and probably an easy one.
For some reason it is eluding me at the moment.
Hoping someone can help.
I am building an ics file with PHP and the form that is submitting to
create this ics file has a jQuery date picker on it.
The date furnished comes to me like this Saturday, January 1, 2012,
and a time furnished like 4:20 pm with no seconds.
Now for the ics file, I need the date/time combo to be..
Ymd\THis\Z or in the case of the above date and time, 20120101T042000Z
Here is the block of code that I am using for this.
Why do you have so much code to do such a simple thing?
This works for me.
?php
$date = Saturday, January 1, 2012;
$time = 4:20 pm;
echo date('Ymd\THis\Z', strtotime($date.' '.$time));
// Outputs 20120107T162000Z

[PHP] alias address in REMOTE_ADDR
Hi Everyone, I've run into a curious problem, not even really sure it's PHP, but that's where I caught it, so here it is: I have two servers hanging on the net, without proxies. Let's call them Server1 and Server2. Server1 has multiple IP addresses, configured as aliases. My problem: When I do a wget --spider from 1 to 2, I get the eth0 (not alias) address in Apache's accesslog on Server2. But when I do a file_get_contents(http://server2.tld), and observe the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] on Server2, I get one of the alias IP addresses back. What can cause this? I really need the eth0 IP address back in REMOTE_ADDR. Regards, Csaba -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] SOLVED: [PHP] alias address in REMOTE_ADDR
Hi, shiplu and Jim, many thanks for the hints, I solved it; wasn't related to PHP, but I will write it down so if others search for this problem, at least they will have one solution that worked. Jim: the Apache was configured to listen on all interfaces - I had to, because I have multiple SSL-enabled hosts with different keys shiplu: it was the metric! Only problem, because these are alias interfaces, a simple ifmetric doesn't cut it: #~ ifmetric eth0:1 20 SIOCSIFMETRIC: operation not supported So I had to disable the alias interfaces with ifconfig down, the re-enable them; after that, add the gateways like this: #~ route add default gw GATEWAYIP metric 10 so now my routing table has a metric 0 gateway for eth0, and a metric 10 for both aliases. Many thanks again, and have a nice weekend!

You can add this to apache conf:
FilesMatch ^phpscript$
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
/FilesMatch
Then make a file called phpscript without extension and drop it in the
web root.
?php
$info = explode('/', $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']);
Then your url would look like:
http://server.domain.com/phpscript/variable1/variable2

Best regards,

As this method requires an Apache restart, I don't see what advantage
you have over using an .htaccess file?

Performance: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html You should avoid using .htaccess files completely if you have access to httpd main server config file. Using .htaccess files slows down your Apache http server. Any directive that you can include in a .htaccess file is better set in a Directory block, as it will have the same effect with better performance. ...putting this configuration in your server configuration file will result in less of a performance hit, as the configuration is loaded once when httpd starts, rather than every time a file is requested.

[PHP] Time out issue
I am running Windows 2008 R2, IIS 7 I am running into an issue where no matter what I set the script time out to be the server is Giving me a 500 error after like 60 seconds when the process exceeds the configured activity timeout. Here is the example script ? set_time_limit(120); sleep(100); Echo PASSED THE TIME OUT; ? I fully understand this may not be a PHP error but if anyone has ran into this issue with a windows server and can explain in detail how I can adjust the timeout, I would be very grateful. Everything I have read online points to a fcgiext.ini file that does not exist on my server. Anyone know how to help ?
