yeah...
i saw that write up. i've also inquired with bugs.mysql as to if/whether
this might be reinserted.. we'll see.
that said, it appears that there would need to be an approach similar to the
apache::dbi mod for perl, where you have an app that essentially does
connection pooling. in this model, an intermediate app becomes the app that
has the connection with the mysql server, and never shuts down. the web app
would 'talk' to the intermediate app to get the connection id/handle,
ensuring that the web app could get the same handle for all subsequent mysql
interaction on the pages of the web app....
ie....
+<----------->app1>>>>+
| v
mysql <----------- pool app
| ^
+<----------->app2>>>>+
in this case app1/app2 are both web apps running on apache
app1/app2 would talk to the 'pool app' to get the initial mysql db 'handle'.
the handle is stored/maintained for the life of the client web app.
once the pool app gets the handle, the web app fetches the handle at the
start of every page that has to perform db functions with mysql. subsequent
db functions for the page are then performed between the web app and mysql,
using the handle provided by the pool app....
that's the theory, not sure how it would work, or what other issues would
be. but if it did work, it could be extended to support any given web
app/server that needed to be able to maintain the connection with the db
over multiple pages...

It's my understanding that persistent connections via the old ext/mysql was
a flawed misfeature to begin with. This was one of several misfeatrures
corrected by the new mysqli extension. There is some information on the
subject here: http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-mysqli.php
It would be my guess that pconnect will be a thing of the past. It's sort of
a drag, but running out of connections - as pconnect can cause - is a real
drag too. ;)

I wouldn't worry too much about that though. I mean if persistant
connections are required for transactions, I'm sure it will be there.
The only reason we may not be seeing it now is because the PHP5
documentation is full of holes (with it not being a production release
yet). I know of a few items that are available in PHP5 that aren't
documented on php.net yet.

You don't need persistant connections with the method you describe.
The pool app simply manages multiple connections.

the method i described gives the user/app a potential way of
establsihing/maintaining/using the same connection thoughout the life of the

with this approach, one could possible have the 'persistent' conection
handle to the db that i've been talking about... which would then allow for
transactional processing across multiple pages within a web app....

There are several issues that would have need to be handled to name
a few:
- what happens when you have 1000 visitors in an hours time span?
you would need to be able to support that many connections to
the database at one time.
- Since http is stateless, you have no guarantee that a specific
transaction will ever get committed. And possibly you're connection
pool can grow to an endless number, without some sort of other
layer that handles this.
Unless this is a web application that is in a controlled
environment, the above issues cannot be resolve very easily.
Although I've probably been able to use something like this in the
past, the implentation is more complicted than the benefits that
are provided; and in paticular with a web application. I tend to
usually change the logic so as to adhere to the limitations of a
stateless environment.
btw, pconnect isn't a mysql feature, it is a feature of php.

Would seem so - but even if it is phpBB, it shouldn't be able to cause a
fault that would cause apache to completely ignore the hit, no?
Ie. some barf report should be generated somewhere..

A. Why the same data with same php code works fine on one system

The most common issue with this is the differences between php.ini
settings. Do a comparison on the ini files that work vs. the one
that doesnt. Be sure also that there aren't any special apache
directives that override php.ini, like php_admin_flag <php_option>
off

I'll forward this onto the person who admin's the server - I don't have
root access, so don't have rights to the log files in question.
Other than usual boot messages, dmesg says:

...
sending pkt_too_big (len[1500] pmtu[1460]) to self

System is a RH9 (Shrike) box, apache appears custom compiled, as does php.

If you want the user to actually see a different URL, then you *must*
redirect them using a Location header or a meta refresh or javascript.
If all you want is to display the content from another page within
your script (but why you'd want to do this I don't know....all of its
internal links would probably be broken), you should be able to do:
readfile('http://example.com');

Hi
I am not a php programmer but have installed a php based blog. When the php

First things first...can you send mail from this server? The server needs
to have some sort of MTA installed (sendmail,Qmail,Exim,etc) before you
can use the mail() function.

Are you running this on Linux or Windows? On Linux, you must have a
local MTA installed to use mail(). On Windows, you must setup an
external SMTP server in your php.ini.

sendmail mail list. Setting up mail server is fairly painless but it
requires some planning. Mail follows domain names. If you do an nslookup
on your IP address and it doesn't return a domain name (NOT the ISP's
domain, one that is registered to that server) then your problem lies with
DNS. You'll need to buy a domain and have it configured through that
providers DNS. Don't forget reverse DNS as well.
If nslookup does return a valid domain name, then your problem is with
Sendmail's configuration. You'll need to look through Sendmail's docs on
how to setup Sendmail. You can't just throw Sendmail onto a server and
expect it to work, though sending mail is a lot easier to setup than
receiveing mail.

Hi,
I have attempted to post variables from a simple page: edit-news.php to
edit-news-x.php, then load them into a session for re-use -- I use output
buffering. They do not pass. The code:
[edit-news]
....
<?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?>
$news = "A few paragraphs";
print "<input type='text' name='news'>";
print "<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit Changes'>";
....
?>
[edit-news-x]
<?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?>
...
$_SESSION['news'] = $_POST['news']
session_write_close();
...
?>
[submit-news]
<?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?>
...
print "{$_SESSION['news']}"; //outputs blank
...
?>
Now, I have used similar code on the same development machine for a very
functional postgresql db website with no problems. The only diff is the mysql
db. PHP version: 4.3.0.
This particular development website is exhibiting weird behaviour: sometimes
the code works, no probs, reload, and previously functional code falls apart.
Any clues what I might be overlooking here -- why these variables do not pass?
I'm stumped. (Could it be that both mysql/psql servers are competing against
each other?) Help?
Tia,
Andre

Do you actually have <form> tags? And with the appropriate method?
> $_SESSION['news'] = $_POST['news']
What does print_r($_POST) show?

Hi Jason,
Yes the first page has the appropriate <form> tags:
{edit-news.php]
<form action="edit-news-x.php" method="post"> . . . </form>
The second and third pages [edit-news-x.php/ edit-submit.php] are pure php (a
pass-through page) -- I wasn't aware they needed these tags as well. Hmm . .
. that might explain why they weren't passed -- I must be getting old :> . .
.
Thanks -- I've stared at these pages way too long. Also, it's not my code, but
I'm patching new stuff into working code - oh ugh!
Thanks,
I'll try adding the tags.

Hi
I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mail() in
/srv/www/htdocs/blog/serendipity_functions.inc.php on line 1394
I have changed my php.ini file to find the correct path to sendmail and to
put an option on the end (-f [EMAIL PROTECTED]) to make the
mail come from me, not from my linux system (otherwise my ISPs smtp server
doesn't accept it).
Sending mail works fine with the command line mail command.
What should I do to make this work?
Thanks
Robin

enable the function in php.ini :)
There's this small setting somewhere around there that prevents the use
of certain functions, and you probably configured it to prevent the use
of mail().

Hi there,
I am having a problem in ImageColorAllocate function. I am using this
function in a loop. After some number of looping the function starts
returning -1 value. I am attaching my code below. Can any one help me with
this?
<?php
header("Content-type: image/png");
// create a 100*30 image
$im = imagecreate(300, 300);
// white background and blue text
$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$j=0;
for($i=1;$i<=30;$i++)
{
$textcolor = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, $i*2, $i*3, $j, 0);
// write the string at the top left
imagestring($im, 5, 0, $j, "Hello world!", $textcolor);
//imagecolordeallocate($im,$textcolor);
$j=$j+10;
}
// output the image
imagepng($im,"try.png");
?>
Thanks for reading this far.
Kevin.

Hi
I use GD for stamping images with a visible watermark - in this case, a text
string and a tracking number appended to the bottom of each image.
However, I'd like to embed tracking information (I sometimes see my pics
crop up on mailing lists... And they're the ones I see copied!) into the
picture.
Digimarc have a nifty looking copyrighting setup, but with a price-tag of
over three grand for an automated system, it's not affordable.
Does anyone know how to have PHP /GD invisibly watermark images? The info on
the PHP site's GD info pages suggests this can't be done.
I'd be interested to hear otherwise though.

Hello,
In order to get the filenames from the output below I have tried the
following:
preg_match_all('/inflating:"(.*?)"/', $stdout, $matches);
print_r($matches);
return $matches[1];
But I only get empty arrays with it.
I need to fix that so I can have the filenames stored on arrays and also
evaluate the type of output according to
the situations ilustrated bellow.
Contents of $stdout:
unzip test.zip
Archive: test.zip
inflating: arch1.txt
inflating: arch2.txt
inflating: arch3.txt
inflating: arch4.txt
inflating: arch5.txt
inflating: arch6.txt
The same I have from a pkware execution :
pkunzip teste.zip
PKZIP(R) Version 6.0 FAST! Compression Utility for Linux X86
Copyright 1989-2002 PKWARE Inc. All Rights Reserved. Evaluation Version
PKZIP Reg. U.S. Pat. and Tm. Off. Patent No. 5,051,745
Extracting files from .ZIP: teste.zip
Inflating: arch1.txt
Inflating: arch2.txt
Inflating: arch3.txt
Inflating: arch4.txt
Inflating: arch5.txt
So, I need some help on how to write a regexp to get the values after
inflating, that is the filenames, and put them in an array. Both outputs
above are stored on a $stdout php variable.
Also, I need to be able to indentify errors with the unzip utility that
does not support some types of zip file, the output is like this:
unzip test1.zip
Archive: test1.zip
skipping: test1.txt `shrink' method not supported
There's a skipping instead of a inflating or Inflating in pkware.
The third situation is an error on the zip file itself :
unzip test2.zip
Archive: test2.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of test2.zip or
test2.zip.zip, and cannot find test2.zip.ZIP, period.
or
pkunzip test2.zip
