[PHP] difference PEAR PECL

2012-07-19 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby

Hi all,
Wondering about the difference between PECL and PEAR, I found:
http://board.phpbuilder.com/showthread.php?10339238-Pecl-vs-Pear

Is it a suitable answer?

If so, several Linux ditribution have:
* php-pecl-xxx (PECL)
* php-pear-vvv (PEAR)
* php-yyy  (???)
packages (rpm and deb).

What about the last kind?

It's close.

PECL (sometimes pronounced pickle) stands for PHP Extension
Community Library, which is - as the name suggests - a library of PHP
extensions.  Things like APC, memcache, amqp, and sqlite are examples
of popular PECL extensions.  PECL is a repository of compiled
binaries.

By contrast, PEAR - the PHP Extension and Application Repository -
is actually not a library of extensions in the common definition,
despite what the name suggests.  Instead, it's a collection of
unrelated reusable components, written in PHP, to be used for
application development.  PEAR is technically considered a framework,
but is more commonly used as individual classes, as opposed to a full
framework deployment in the traditional sense, such as Yii, Zend,
CodeIgniter, 2x4, et al.  Popular PEAR packages include Mail,
PHP_Codesniffer, Date_Holidays, and various API service components
such as those used with Amazon Web Services (AWS).  PEAR components
are supposed to follow the PEAR Coding Standard as well.

If unsure which library to check for a given component, consider
the following: PEAR components are always First_Letter_Capitalized,
while PECL extensions are generally not.


 If so, several Linux ditribution have:
 * php-pecl-xxx (PECL)
 * php-pear-vvv (PEAR)
 * php-yyy  (???)
 packages (rpm and deb).

 What about the last kind?

php-pecl-xxx, php5-pecl, et cetera, are the PECL support libraries
and may also refer to PECL extensions.

php-pear-vvv, php5-pear, et cetera, are the PEAR support libraries
and may also refer to PEAR components.

php-yyy, php5-yyy, et cetera, are individual packages.  For
example, php_mysql or php5-cli.

If possible, however, when installing PECL or PEAR packages, use
the pecl or pear command line tool, respectively.  For example:

pecl install pdo_sqlite

Is this really the recommended way on distros' which package the pecl packages?
It seems to me it would be better to use the distros' version, so it
has the required patches (if any) for them to work correctly on the
distro, and they get upgraded automatically with the system updates.
What is the advantage of using the pecl tool?

Using `pecl` will get you the most recently-published version.
Using a distro's repo requires your distro's package management teams
to actually be on top of things.  And, in the sad majority of cases,
it's simply not the way things are right now.  Using `pecl` will build
it from source using your installed API version and so forth.

[PHP] difference between two times? Date_diff and DateTime::diff

2009-06-16 Thread Matthew Croud


Hello,

My journey of learning PHP is going well, so i've decided to make a  
small program which works out the difference between two times and  
records the data in a text file.


I've searched the PHP manual for functions which can help me out, and  
I discovered the function Date_diff ( http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.date-diff.php 
 )and the class DateTime::diff ( http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php 
 )


My question is, how on earth do I use these functions ? I really don't  
understand the manual documentation.


I've just moved onto the subject of classes and so I'm fairly new to  
the concept, although I am following it well.


If someone could explain to me how to use ether of these ( Date_diff  
and DateTime::diff ) I would be VERY grateful.


Thank you so much!
Matt

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply,  I believe I have a fair understanding of  
functions, and I have followed the example on the PHP manual page ( http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.date-diff.php 
 ), ideally I want to know how to use the class DateTime::diff, how  
can I use the DateTime::diff to get the difference between two times/ 
dates ? I suppose then I'm after the syntax


would it be like this for example:
$DIfferenceInTime  = DateTime::diff(10:00,12:32);

Thanks again for helping me out.

Matt,
Do you understand how to use functions?
A function is defined like this:

function () {
//code goes here
}

You can pass arguments to be used in a function like this:

function($arg1, $arg2) {
//code goes here
}

In the first example on the following page: 
http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.date-diff.php
To call the function you need to provide two arguments: $dtTime1
$dtTime2


To use in a script, you need to first define the function, as per  
the example:


?php

function GetDeltaTime($dtTime1, $dtTime2)
{
  $nUXDate1 = strtotime($dtTime1-format(Y-m-d H:i:s));
  $nUXDate2 = strtotime($dtTime2-format(Y-m-d H:i:s));

  $nUXDelta = $nUXDate1 - $nUXDate2;
  $strDeltaTime =  . $nUXDelta/60/60; // sec - hour

  $nPos = strpos($strDeltaTime, .);
  if (nPos !== false)
$strDeltaTime = substr($strDeltaTime, 0, $nPos + 3);

  return $strDeltaTime;
}

?

Then you need to call the function like this:

?php
GetDeltaTime(time1-goes-here, time2-goes-here)
?

And it should spit out the difference.

Code is untested and if you didn't follow that I suggest you read up  
on functions: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_functions.asp


Hope this helps - I'm probably in a similar situation to you and  
have been dabbling with PHP for a few years just as a hobby but  
thought I'd try and help out.

You'll learn a lot from reading this list as well.

RE: [PHP] difference between two times? Date_diff and DateTime::diff

2009-06-16 Thread Dajve Green

Hi Matthew,

A quick note on the DateTime::diff() method - it's only available as from
PHP 5.3, which is currently in release candidate stage, meaning unless you
have your own server running PHP, it won't be available to use (hopefully -
I would be sceptical of any webhost which rolls out RCs on production
servers).

If you need to know what version of PHP you're running, use:
phpversion() or phpinfo()

Hi Dajve and Tom,

Thanks again, I totally didn't realise that this function is yet to be  
implemented in the mainstream PHP,


So is there no function that exists in vanilla PHP that can take two  
dates/times and supply the difference ?
If there isn't I do apologise, i've been talking to my friend who does  
ASP.net and he said he was sure there is for PHP.

Hi,

This is a quick function that works using unix time stamps.  Its a bit quick 
and messy but 
works ok.  Take a look at the manual page for the strtotime() function to get a 
better idea 
of what it can handle.

?

$Date1_UnixTimeStamp=strtotime(10:10:45);
$Date2_UnixTimeStamp=strtotime(12:45:03);

print_r(DateDiff( $Date1_UnixTimeStamp, $Date2_UnixTimeStamp));

function DateDiff( $Date1_UnixTimeStamp, $Date2_UnixTimeStamp){

$return_difference  = Array(
Days  =  0,
Hours =  0,
Minutes   =  0,
Seconds   =  0
);

$amounts= Array(
Days  =  60*60*24,
Hours =  60*60,
Minutes   =  60
);

$difference = $Date2_UnixTimeStamp - $Date1_UnixTimeStamp;

if($difference = $amounts[Days]){
$return_difference[Days] = floor($difference / 
$amounts[Days]);
$difference -=  $return_difference[Days] * $amounts[Days];
}

if($difference = $amounts[Hours]){
$return_difference[Hours] = floor($difference /

$difference -=   $return_difference[Hours] *

return $return_difference;
}

Hello,

My journey of learning PHP is going well, so i've decided to make a
small program which works out the difference between two times and
records the data in a text file.

I've searched the PHP manual for functions which can help me out,
and I discovered the function Date_diff (
http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.date-diff.php
)and the class DateTime::diff (
http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php
)

My question is, how on earth do I use these functions ? I really
don't understand the manual documentation.

I've just moved onto the subject of classes and so I'm fairly new to
the concept, although I am following it well.

If someone could explain to me how to use ether of these ( Date_diff
and DateTime::diff ) I would be VERY grateful.

Thank you so much!
Matt

Re: [PHP] Difference between imagegif/imagejpeg sending to browser - saving to file?

 The image (if its send directly to the browser via header and

 But if i save it to a file on the servers file system, the red above gets
 lime green. And not only those two colors are bugged: It looks like the

 So my question: Is there a-n-y difference between sending and saving the

 Or do I have to do some additional work before an image can be saved
 correctly? php func reference says something about using
 imagecolortransparent() on the image first to achieve the 89a format (in
 case of gif) but again: This does not alter the result either. Also,
 transparency is not needed at this point but used in images that are
 merged (gifs) to achieve the final result.
 
 Another interesting point:
 - generated image sent to browser, properties: ~3kb
 - generated image, saved in filesys, properties: ~15kb
 What explains that diff in filesize?

[PHP] Difference between 2 time entries

2006-07-20 Thread Chris Grigor
Morning all,


I am looking to get the differnce in hours / minutes between 2 values.

Currently I have 2 time entries being retruned from mysql, one which is a
start time and
the other which is a finish time.

So

$start = '13:12:17';
$finish = '23:12:17';

How would one get the differnce between these 2 times??

I have looked at using the following but am not to sure



function timeDiff($firstTime,$lastTime)
{

// convert to unix timestamps
$firstTime=strtotime($firstTime);
$lastTime=strtotime($lastTime);

// perform subtraction to get the difference (in seconds) between times
$timeDiff=$lastTime-$firstTime;

// return the difference
return $timeDiff;
}

//Usage :
echo timeDiff($start,$finish);

Thanks

IMHO, the best is to generate a timestamp using mktime for each date.
you can the calculate the difference of timestamps and convert it back 
using date.


$tm_start = mktime(substr($start,0,2),substr($start,3,2), 
substr($start,5,2));
$tm_finish = mktime(substr($finish,0,2),substr($finish,3,2), 
substr($finish,5,2));


$tm_diff = $tm_finish -tm_start;

print date(H:i,$tm_diff);

I don't know if date accepts negative timestamps, so be sure $finish is 
later than $start
(you can also put the day in case $finish = 00:00:12 and $start  
=15:00:00).


hope this'll help

function timeDiff($firstTime,$lastTime)
{

// convert to unix timestamps
$firstTime=strtotime($firstTime);
$lastTime=strtotime($lastTime);

// perform subtraction to get the difference (in seconds) between times
$timeDiff=$lastTime-$firstTime;

// return the difference
return $timeDiff;
}

//Usage :
echo timeDiff($start,$finish);

[PHP] Difference between 2 time entries

2006-07-20 Thread Chris Grigor
Morning all,


I am looking to get the differnce in hours / minutes between 2 values.

Currently I have 2 time entries being retruned from mysql, one which is a
start time and
the other which is a finish time.

So

$start = '13:12:17';
$finish = '23:12:17';

How would one get the differnce between these 2 times??

I have looked at using the following but am not to sure



function timeDiff($firstTime,$lastTime)
{

// convert to unix timestamps
$firstTime=strtotime($firstTime);
$lastTime=strtotime($lastTime);

// perform subtraction to get the difference (in seconds) between times
$timeDiff=$lastTime-$firstTime;

// return the difference
return $timeDiff;
}

//Usage :
echo timeDiff($start,$finish);

Thanks

Re: [PHP] Difference between 2 time entries

2006-07-20 Thread John Meyer

|Found this on the PHP web site,
you can add the conversions as the first lines in the functions.

function callDuration($dateTimeBegin,$dateTimeEnd) {
 
$dif=$dateTimeEnd - $dateTimeBegin;


$hours = floor($dif / 3600);
$temp_remainder = $dif - ($hours * 3600);
 
$minutes = floor($temp_remainder / 60);

$temp_remainder = $temp_remainder - ($minutes * 60);
 
$seconds = $temp_remainder;
   
// leading zero's - not bothered about hours

$min_lead=':';
if($minutes =9)
  $min_lead .= '0';
$sec_lead=':';
if($seconds =9)
  $sec_lead .= '0';
 
 // difference/duration returned as Hours:Mins:Secs e.g. 01:29:32


 return $hours.$min_lead.$minutes.$sec_lead.$seconds;
 
  }

IMHO, the best is to generate a timestamp using mktime for each date.
you can the calculate the difference of timestamps and convert it back using 
date.

$tm_start = mktime(substr($start,0,2),substr($start,3,2), substr($start,5,2));
$tm_finish = mktime(substr($finish,0,2),substr($finish,3,2), 
substr($finish,5,2));

$tm_diff = $tm_finish -tm_start;

print date(H:i,$tm_diff);

I don't know if date accepts negative timestamps, so be sure $finish is later 
than $start
(you can also put the day in case $finish = 00:00:12 and $start  
=15:00:00).

hope this'll help

Not quite.

Your:

   substr($start,5,2)

should be:

   substr($start,6,2)

Your:

   $tm_diff = $tm_finish -tm_start;

Should be:

   $tm_diff = $tm_finish - $tm_start;

And lastly,

   print date(H:i,$tm_diff);

Doesn't print the hours and seconds that have elapsed.

I thought that php had a function where you could send it a number of seconds 
and it would return the number of years, months, days, hours and seconds, but I 
couldn't find any. But, date() doesn't.

Chris:

You're about there, you have the seconds, just add this:

$hours = floor($timeDiff/3600);
$timeDiff = $timeDiff - ($hours * 3600);
$minutes = floor($timeDiff/60);
$timeDiff = $timeDiff - ($minutes * 60);
$seconds = $timeDiff;
echo($hours);
echo(br/);  
echo($minutes);
echo(br/);  
echo($seconds);

I'm surprised that php doesn't have a function to do this -- but maybe I didn't 
RTFM enough.

In any event, hth's

[PHP] Difference between --with-... and --enable-... in config.m4 [php-4.3.1]

2004-01-26 Thread Bruce Bailey
Hi

I created a new extension in php-4.3.1 using the ext_skel script.  When I 
edit the config.m4 file, I see a comment that says 'If your extension 
references something external, use with' seems rather ambiguous. It’s not 
clear if ‘something external’ is the UNIX file system, a socket connection 
to another system, another DSO, or something else.

What is the difference between --with-... and --enable-... in config.m4.  
More importantly, why would I choose one or the other.

Thanks in advance.

Bruce

[PHP] Difference between php_flag php_admin_flag

2003-11-26 Thread Gerard Samuel
That is not explained in the manual
As far as I can tell, the difference (according to the manual) is that one can 
be overridden by an .htaccess file, while the other cannot

Im testing to see how my script is behaving in an environment with
safe_mode turned on.
In apache's config file, I tried both
php_flag and php_admin_flag, and they seem to exibit different behaviour.
When using php_admin_flag with safe_mode turned on, 
php behaves as if it were in a total lock down state.
For example, if the script is owned by foo:foo, it will not be able to access 
a file owned by bar:bar.

If I change php_admin_flag to php_flag with safe_mode still on, then php 
behaves a bit relaxed.
Where if a script is owned by foo:foo, will be able to access a file owned by 
bar:bar

im currently running php 4.3.3 on FreeBSD 4.8.
Has anyone experienced anything like this???

Ok, I found out what was happening on my end..
According to http://us2.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php, php_value 
only influences PHP_INI_ALL and PHP_INI_PERDIR type directives.
safe_mode (according to http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php) is 
a PHP_INI_SYSTEM type directive.
So for the apache config option to be effective, use 
php_admin_value for safe_mode

[PHP] Difference between equal $_SERVER variables?

2003-07-24 Thread Ivo Fokkema
Hi list,

Just out of curiosity I would like to know if anyone can tell me the
difference between some $_SERVER variables that generate the same output (in
my test-file at least).

For instance, what is the difference between $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] and
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']? Can they generate different output under some
circumstances? They're always the same with me. Any recommendations on which
to use?

I know that $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] can differ from 'SCRIPT_NAME' and
'PHP_SELF' (I use 'REQUEST_URI' to see what people were looking for when
they hit a 404) but can $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] and $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] be
different?

TIA,

Well, I've seen that, but for instance;

'PHP_SELF'
The filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document
root.
--and--
'SCRIPT_NAME'
Contains the current script's path.

doesn't mean much to me... They both return the same results to me, also.

$_POST[foo] will look for a pre defined constant foo.

Under certain error-reporting levels, this will generate an notice/warning,
and it assumes you mean 'foo'.

$_POST['foo'] is correct, and will not generate errors.

[PHP] difference twixt mod_php_memory_usage and top size/res

2003-06-09 Thread Eric Gehner
I'm trying to get reliable values for memory usage on my php scripts,
some of which are making big pdfs using PDFlib.

I've set up a CustomLog in my apache config file using the PHP memory
usage note to apache and I'm trying to understand the discrepancies
between the peak memory usage value logged via
%{mod_php_memory_usage}n and the values that are displayed via SIZE
and RES when using the unix command top.

EXAMPLES of mod_php_memory_usage VS top:
php_log_peak_mem  top(SIZE) top(RES)
  72408   12404K 7156K
 371464   12404K 7900K
  45240   12576K 8160K
 126112   12452K 7968K

2678008   17620K12724K
3094000   18796K13892K


I've had a hard time finding resources to perform proper testing and
capacity planning for my Virtual Private Server hosting setup. For the
most part, I've been successful getting some guidelines with load
testing using JMeter but I've been requested to provide some sort of
outlook on my scripts memory consumption and how that translates into
scaling numbers of concurrent users.

Any info on the reliability of utilizing the top command would be
helpful because I have some non-php CGI scripts that I need to track
as well.  It's easy to throw hardware/memory/money at things but I'd
like to provide options that are sensible and affordable AND have the
reasons why changes are necessary.

The big question:
Why is there a difference and what is the difference between the
figures logged by mod_php_memory_usage and the numbers reported by the
SIZE and RES columns of the top command?

Any suggestions on how I can get up to speed on planning server
requirements around my existing scripts would be extremely helpful as
well. (Useful testing experts/how-to's/books/websites etc.)

Thanks much.

These are two totally different operators:

So: 5  2 yields true
5  2 yields 0

In your example we would need to know the value of INPUT - it is most
certainly one of 1, 2, 4, 8, etc, denoting a single bit. So the expression
$search-level  INPUT
would yield nonzero (a.k.a. true) if the bit denoted by INPUT was set in
$search-level.

Ok shoot me if I'm wrong here I just vaguely recall this from some 
Java course I took.   I think  and  are identical except that if 
you use , PHP will not short circuit the expression.
like:

$x = 0;
if(false  $x++)
print impossible;
print $x;   // should print 0


$x = 0;
if(false  $x++)
print impossible;
print $x;   // should print 1

Warning: This may only work for Java or maybe I just can't remember it 
properly..

2002-12-13 Thread vernon
I found this code on the php.net web site but am new to php and can't figure
out how to dispaly the difference once calucuated. Belowis the code I'm
using:

# --- Date Difference ---
#Date 1 from MySQL database recordset row
$date1 = $row_rsMESSAGES['privmsgs_date'];
#Date 2 - now
$date2 = date(ymd H:is);

#function
function date_diff($date1, $date2) {
 $s = strtotime($date2)-strtotime($date1);
 $d = intval($s/86400);
 $s -= $d*86400;
 $h = intval($s/3600);
 $s -= $h*3600;
 $m = intval($s/60);
 $s -= $m*60;
 return array(d=$d,h=$h,m=$m,s=$s);
}

#what I thought would dispaly the diffence but returns and error.
echo date_diff($m, $d, $h, $m);


Thanks

Fw: [PHP] Difference between 2 Dates

2002-12-13 Thread Kevin Stone
Oh dear.  In what format are you storing the date in your database?  If you
can convert what you have into UNIX EPOCH then you can simply subtract your
date against mktime(); then echo the result through getdate() and be done
with it in three lines of code.

I have a similar problem. I am trying to figure out which of two dates 
is greater. Both are in the -mm-dd format. Is there any easy 
function that allows this sort of comparison or am I missing something?

Re: [PHP] Difference between 2 Dates

2002-12-13 Thread Kevin Stone
Again the solution is to convert the dates into timestamps for easy
comparison.  In your case you can use the strtotime() function.  I believe
that -mm-dd is a standard date format that the function will recognize,
is it not?

$ts1 = strtotime($date1);
$ts2 = strtotime($date2);
if ($ts1  $ts2)
{
   // .. blah blah blah.
}

Treat the dates as strings not numbers:

$DateOne = 2002-12-13;
$DateTwo = 2001-11-12;
if ( $DateOne = $DateTwo ) echo DateOne comes first;

You can do comparisons like this but don't try any 'arithmetic'!

You have a simpler problem. -mm-dd is the ISO format, and one
of the reasons it is a great format is, you can sort it any way you
like, and it just works. So the simplest way to do it is to compare
strings in alphabetic order:
if($a$b) echo $a earlier than $b\n;
else echo $b earlier than $a\n;

[PHP] Difference between $object = new Class and $object = new Class

2002-10-15 Thread Tim Molendijk

Hi,

I'm using a 3rd pary debug class (ErrorHandler -
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/package/345.html) in this project I'm
working on. For this ErrorHandler class to work it just needs to be
instantiated at the beginning of a php file and it will catch the errors,
warnings and notices.

But I found out that this only functions when instantiating like this:
$errorH = new ErrorHandler;
and it doesn't work when you do this:
$errorH = new ErrorHandler;

I find this very awkward because:
- I don't see the use of a reference when creating a new object.
- I don't see why it does NOT work when assigning the object while it DOES
work when assigning a reference to the object.

Does anyone have a clue why this could be happening?? I'm _very_ curious coz
I simply don't get it. 8[

Greetz,
Tim

What is the difference from using $_GET['some_var'] from using $_REQUEST['some_var']?
I think the documentation says either can be used to do the same thing.

What is the performance difference from having register_globals turned off from having 
it turned on?
I assume the default was changed for performance reasons?

[PHP] Difference between executable and Apache server

Good afternoon,

We have some cases where we run PHP as a standalone executable for scripting
certain processes that can be called from CRON, and we also have PHP for
Apache. Does the php.ini affect both? Specifically script times?

Check the output of phpinfo() for each and see.  You're looking for the
line that's tagged Configuration File (php.ini) Path.  Usually there are
different files for the module and the cgi.  (i.e. - the packages from
Debian Linux distribution(s) puts separate php.ini files into
/etc/php4/apache and /etc/php4/cgi.)

[PHP] difference between $foo and isset($foo)

2002-04-18 Thread Norman Zhang

Hi,

I am looking at some codes. Some authors use $foo and isset($foo)
interchangeably. Just to want to make sure that the statement,

if ($foo) { ... }

is different from

if (isset($foo)) { ... }

Right? if ($foo) means variable exists and can be null. Whereas, isset($foo)
means that the value in $foo cannot be null?

Not quite (or maybe I just don't understand your sentence).

  if ($foo)

will be true if $foo has been set to some non-null (and non-zero) value.
It will be false if $foo==null.

On the other hand,

  if (isset($foo))

will be true will be true if any value at all has been assigned to $foo,
including null or zero. It will only be false if $foo has never been
assigned in this scope. However, bear in mind that ($foo) will still
evaluate to null even in this case.

[PHP] difference between php3 and php4

This script works in php3 but not in windows php4.
The error message above points to the mysql_fetch_row

Re: [PHP] Difference between two dates

2002-02-19 Thread Steven Walker

You can convert the time into seconds using mktime(), subtract one from 
the other, and then reformat it using gmstrftime:

//int mktime ( int hour, int minute, int second, int month, int day, int 
year [, int is_dst])
//string gmstrftime ( string format [, int timestamp])
?
$time1 = mktime (0,0,0,12,32,1997);
$time2 = mktime (0,0,0,12,31,1995);
$dif = $time1 - $time2;
$new_time = gmstrftime(%b %d %Y, $dif);

echo $time1br;
echo $time2br;
echo $difbr;
echo $new_timebr;
?
The output looks like this:
883641600
820396800
63244800
Jan 03 1972

Of course you will have to get the date out of the current format you 
have it, but that shouldn't be too hard using explode() and implode();

Re: [PHP] difference !!??

2002-02-07 Thread bvr



Ok,

1 is IMO not correct, a string should be quoted.

2 and 3 make no practical difference in this situation,
although 2 is probably somewhat faster because PHP
doesn't substitute variables with their value when they're 
within single quotes.

for code readability it is probaby best if you always use double quotes,
and only if it saves a whole lot of escaping $'s and double quotes within
the string use single quotes.

note that if you like to include both single and double quotes in a long
string (HTML for example) but still want to be able to use variables
in it, you can use 'heredoc notation'.

Re: [PHP] Difference of queries in PHP/mySQL?

2001-11-18 Thread Jason G.

Check the return value of mysql_query().  It should either evaluate to 
false, or true.  If false, then output some error messages using 
mysql_error() and mysql_errno().

[PHP] Difference of queries in PHP/mySQL?

2001-11-17 Thread Jeff Lewis

I am wondering if there are any difference between using PHP and using the
command line for mySQL.  Entering this at the comman line returns all the
membergroups properly.  When I use this in my PHP program, it doesn't
continue past this line:

$request = mysql_query(SELECT membergroup FROM membergroups WHERE 1 ORDER
BY ID_GROUP);

Re: [PHP] Difference of queries in PHP/mySQL?

2001-11-17 Thread Jack Dempsey

are you actually doing anything with $request? that just gets a mysql result
back in a variable, you then have to extract the data from it...

RE: [PHP] difference between ?php and ?

There isn't any difference, if your php.ini settings allow it
(short_tags, I believe), you can use ? instead of ?php

Subject: [PHP] difference between ?php and ?


Hi,

I am a newbie at this PHP thing and I have been working from information
on the web and from books.

I noticed that some start the PHP script with ? and some start with
?php.  Actually I have noticed that one of the first PHP script in my
book uses both methods interchangeably.

Is there a real difference between the two?

Or maybe I just haven't noticed something.

Re: [PHP] difference between ?php and ?

2001-09-09 Thread Tom Carter

The problem comes if you use php to generate xml documents in xml you
use the tag ?xml.. if php is setup to handle ? then it takes that then
throws a parse error as it attempts to read the xml bit.

Simplest solution if you are using php to generate xml tags is to always use
php to generate those.. ie echo('?xml'); works fine
