Stuart,
Go to your browser settings, under 'Cache' (or something similar) then clear
the cache. I struggled with a similar problem for days . . .

I did that, and didn't change the situation. Also I
think the fact that using the original form will work
seems to indicate it's not a caching / cookie /
session problem. Very strange

Call off the troops. I reconstructed the form, step
by step checking each step. All seems to be working.

Hi,
I want to allow the use of set_time_limit on any script but setting safe
mode to ON, how can i do that? Is there any php.ini directive like
"allowed_functions" or similar?
Thanks.

I created an html form comprised of two menus but when the action
method for the form calls my "handler.php" script, neither of the menu
variables contain anything. Could someone point out what I'm doing
wrong?
Thanks,
Ken
----------------------------------------
Here's the relevant html:
<form action="handler.php" method="post" name="select_view_form">
<table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
align="center">
<tr>
<td class="labelTextBold" width="100px">Publication:</td>
<td class="labelText">
<select name="publication" onChange="MenuSubmit();">
<option value="none">none</option>
<option value="1">Ashland TAB</option>
<option value="2">Canton Journal</option>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="labelTextBold" width="100px">View:</td>
<td class="labelText">
<select name="view" onChange="MenuSubmit();">
<option value="none">none</option>
<option value="1">Pub Status</option>
<option value="2">Pub Notes</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
And here's the PHP handler script:
<?php
if ($view)
{
echo $publication."\n".$view;
}
else
{
echo "no values supplied";
}
?>

Thanks John, that did the trick.
I'm curious though, the PHP book I'm reading (PHP and PostgeSQL,
Advanced web programming) specifically states that it's not necessary
to grab form variables in this way, claiming PHP extracts all form
variables behind the scenes for you. Was my original syntax something
that used to be supported but has since been deprecated?

It has not been deprecated but depends on register_globals setting being
on. The recomended way is to have this setting off and use $_GET, $_POST
etc superglobals, it will help you keep your code secure. More here:

Not sure where you learned how to handle form posts, but you might want
to spend some time reading the PHP site, specifically looking at how
global variables work.
Try changing $view to $_POST['view'];

You could try using filectime

Hi,
I am trying to compile PHP with GD support.
My config line is:
./configure --prefix=/data/PHP\
--with-config-file=/etc/php.ini\
--disable-debug --enable-safe-mode\
--with-mysql=/data/MySQL_4.0.21\
--with-openssl=/data/OpenSSL\
--with-apxs2=/data/Apache/bin/apxs\
--with-gd\
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr\
--with-png-dir=/usr\
i586-suse-linux
The libpng library is installed; however, I am
getting the following error message:
checking for floorf... yes
checking for jpeg_read_header in -ljpeg... yes
configure: error: libpng.(a|so) not found.
The files are in /usr/lib:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Aug 30 09:35
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3 -> libpng.so.3.1.2.5
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 202905 Aug 13 15:03
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Aug 30 09:35
/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 -> libpng12.so.0.1.2.5
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 202905 Aug 13 15:03
/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0.1.2.5
Any ideas?
Beforehand, thank you for your help!

Where can I find detailed PHP5 tutorials, but written for the

I need to develop an PHP/MySql application (about 20 db tables and 70
screens). I was wandering if there is a solid framework out there that
could help development.
Also, I would appreciate any recommendations for books/docs on good
development practices and php app. architecture.
Thanks!

Igor,
the problem on using a framework is that you have to learn it before
you take advantage of its features, I mean you must consider the
learning curve in your time schedule.
There are pretty good frameworks out there, but each one with your pros
and cons, and with your own goals, I mean, a strong and reliable
framework doesn´t mean it is extensible or even template driven, or
also even easy to learn.
I developed my own framework, witch I am using on almost all my
projects (course I won´t kill a fly with a hammer!) for one year and
half, and still on version 0.5dev! :)
Some of then:

Im starting to develop a PHP/MySql application that is going to have about
20 db tables and about 70 screens. I am wondering if there is a solid
general PHP framework out there that would be a good starting point. I would
also apreciate any document/book recomendations on good development

Hello List,
I have managed to communicate with the serial device with the following
code:
'mode com1: BAUD=9600 PARITY=N data=8 stop=1 xon=n'; //the config the
device needs
$fp = fopen("COM1:", "rb+"); //also tried only "r+" here
if(!$fp) die();
$query = chr(59).chr(32)."0".chr(13).chr(10);
fputs($fp, $query);
$reply = fgets($fp, 32);
print($reply);
This works, the "0"-command requests the ID of the device and the reply I
get in $reply is exactly what it should be. The problem:
it takes around 5 seconds until this reply is there, I tried different
lengths to buffer in fgets, tried fgetc, fread, everything, always the same.
It can't be the device blocking it, because if I send a couple of commands
(to position the devices measurement head) it reacts to all of these
commands in lightning speed, so I don't think it is the device slowing the
thing down, BUT what could it be? Does anybody have any experience with
this??? Basically, fread/fgets/fgetc just hangs the PHP core for several
seconds, with 0-1% CPU load...something just stalls PHP for this peroid of
time.
If this is an internal problem of PHP: does anybody know a source where I
can find some hints on how to communicate with the serial port over the COM
implementation of php-win? Googling for "com serial port php" is a bit
troublesom, since "com" in this case finds dozens of sites where com refers
to "com1" and not the COM system of Win32.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
best regards
Ulrik

You could try the same thing using windows' HyperTerminal. Connecting
trough it and sending the same commands, and check if it takes as long
aswell. That way you can rule out at least half of the possible problems
(are they windows/COM related or PHP related). Basically, last time I
tried something similair, I noticed my system "freezing" for a few secs
on sending the first command. But this was with a faulty cable, so I'm
not sure if that means anything...

Thanks for the help,
when communicating to it via hyperterminal (or other software) it responds
immidiately. I will try it on different machines within the next few
days...hopefully it is just a hardware/software problem with my
dev-system...

Hello all,
I know I can use simpletest to test my application at the class level
but I need a tool to test it at a much higher level. I need something
to enter data in forms, click links, etc. I have played some with
simpletest's web tester without much luck. I am just curious how
others are effectively testing their large php enterprise
applications? Years ago I wrote Visual test scripts and it had a
feature where I could record all my keystrokes as I entered, clicked,
etc...I guess I am curious if there is anything like that..open
source?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
