I would recommend setting UTF-8 as the Content-type via PHP itself:

you're ready to output the HTML.
UTF-8 is a charset, not a Content-type.
A quick test shows that the HTTP header output from Apache would
contain:
Content-Type: UTF-8
The correct way - if one wants utf-8 as charset - is:
header("Content-Type: index/html; charset=utf-8");
Hi All,
yes, I've tried that as well, with no success. As I've stated, people,
the static J renders fine, just not the dynamic stuff. Cheers.

Hi All,
actually, if I add this,
header("Content-Type: index/html; charset=utf-8");
as suggested, firefox prompts to download the page, instead of just
displaying the page.
You have chosen to open
productdetails.php
which is a : PHP file
from: http://localhost/
What should firefox do with this file?
Open with Browse..
Save to disk
Weird, what's with that. Cheers.
Mark Sargent.

I have a php application (let's call it app A) which is developed

But now I have to move it to another app (called B) using
http://testb.xxx.com <http://testb.xxx.com/> /, and the app A becomes
just
a
subsystem of app B.
The access url is changed to http://testb.xxx.com/a/.
Then I meet a problem that the app A 's links, the path and other
elements
in it are set like '/Main.php', '/art/logo.gif' by an absolutely path.
The app A is very independent and I do not want to disperse it to app B.
So how can I get this effect: when the user input the url, '
http://testb.xxx.com/a/ ', the app A will work fine?
Can I just modify some configuration about yapache to fit this
requirement?
maybe you could use the apache ProxyPass directive?
ProxyPass testb.xxx.com/a/ testa.xxx.com
or something like that. (I'm just half-remembering
a cool post by Rasmus L. so the syntax is probably off)
I've been trying to search for that message for a while. It talked
about running php4 and php5 in one Apache instance.

Hi, my name is Alessandro Rossini and I want to let you know the launch of a
new project called ZNF.
The goal of this project is to provide an open source framework for building
PHP5 enterprise web applications. It's based on the Apache Struts project of
the Apache Software Foundation, available at http://struts.apache.org/. This
is not the first attempt to rewrite the Struts implementation, or part of it,
in PHP, but after spending a lot of time studying existing open source
frameworks, like Phrame, PHPMVC, Struts4PHP, Seagull and Vida we decided to
reimplement a brand new framework from scratch for many reasons. First of
all, all the mentioned frameworks, except Vida, are written in PHP4 and we
believe that its object engine (Zend Engine 1) is too limited for developing
enterprise level web application. At the same time the code we analyzed is
written without a rigorous approach (coding standards, compliance to W3C
standards, output of notice/warnings, lack of documentation/examples). Last
but not least frameworks claiming to be a porting of Struts have made no code
optimization during the porting from J2EE to PHP.
ZNF is free software released under GNU/LGPL license, the official ZNF home
page is at http://znf.zeronotice.com/. You will find the main package, a PEAR
compatible package and the developer's guide.
The project has been developed by me and Graziano Liberati, we're searching
for comments, feedback, bug signaling and best of all new developers. Any
kind of contribution will be appreciated, if you find the project interesting
join us!
Best regards.

* Merlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi there,
I am outputting an multidim. array. That works fine, except one thing. The first
letter of the value inside dimension 1 always gets printed.
For example:
I fill the arrays:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$cat[$row->main_id][name] = $row->main_name;
$cat[$row->main_id][$row->sub_id][name] = $row->sub_name;
}
First off, if you're creating associative arrays, you should quote the
keys:
$cat[$row->main_id]['name'] = $row->main_name;
If you don't do so, PHP assumes you're using a constant value for the
key name.
Then I output them:
foreach ($cat AS $maincat){
echo $maincat[name].':';
Quote your keys!
foreach($maincat AS $subcat){
You do realize that the above will also loop over the index 'name',
right?...
echo $subcat[name].$br;
and since it does, the first element in that array is 'name', which
isn't an array, but a string. Since the 'name' constant isn't defined,
it will interpret that as 'true', or 1, and so it takes the first
character of that string.
I think you'll find the 'name' constant evaluates to FALSE, which in turn
casts to zero, which will give you the first element of the given array,
but as you pointed out its a string not an array so you get the first
char (because php allows array-like access to the individual chars in
a string) ... if it had evaluated to TRUE you would be getting the second
char.
the rest of your explaination is spot on.
}
echo $br;
}
Which does result in:
Europe:E
Germany
UK
North America:N
US
CA
As you can see I get the extra letters N and E. Is this an php error or did I do
something wrong?
So, what you should probably do is create an additional layer in your
multi-dimensional array for the subcategories, and have it of the form
sub_id => sub_name:
$cat[$row->main_id]['subs'][$row->sub_id] = $row->sub_name;
Then loop over that:
foreach ($cat as $main_cat) {
echo $maincat['name'] . ":\n";
foreach ($maincat['subs'] as $sub_id => $sub_name) {
echo "$sub_name$br"; // could also use $sub_id here if
// desired
}
}

Hi there,
I am getting more and more emails through my webforms submited by bots.
It looks like some sites liky yahoo are placing an image into their forms and
the human has to enter a code visible on the image to submit the form.
After some googling I found captcha, but I do not like the images.
Do you know if there is a class available for PHP which does create the image
and does parts of the handling? That seems like a common task to me. Maybe
someone else already implemented such thing and can recommend.
Thank you in advance,
Merlin

You might find this helpful:
http://phpsec.org/articles/2005/text-captcha.html
It uses an image, and there are valid complaints against such. Of
course, you could also argue that CAPTCHA has very little to do with
security, and I'd have to agree. :-)
Other approaches include asking a simple question that any user will
know and throttling requests from the same client to restrain the scope
of the problem.
Hope that helps.

There is Text_CAPTCHA at PEAR, but I haven't used it myself. I use my

You may want to try this class that comes with a CAPTCHA plug-in to do
exactly that. The class comes with documentation and a straight example
to demonstrate how to use.

Hello,
I seem to be having a little bit of trouble with executing a nslookup via
PHP's passthr() function.
This:
passthru("nslookup -query=ns testing12345.nl", $returnVar);
Returns:
"Server: ns1.activedomain.nl
Address: 217.148.161.5
Aliases: 5.161.148.217.in-addr.arpa
0"
However, when I execute the nslookup command directly from my SSH client, I
get this result (minus the ---):
---
Server: ns1.activedomain.nl
Address: 217.148.161.5
Aliases: 5.161.148.217.in-addr.arpa
*** ns1.activedomain.nl can't find testing12345.nl: Non-existent host/domain
---
For some reason passthru does not pass back the last line. And that is
exactly the line that I need! I also tried exec(), system() and shell_exec()
But PHP does not give me that last line.
I should mention that I'm on a freeBSD system with Apache 1.3.32 and PHP
4.3.10
Can anyone help me out on this?
Thanks in advance.

Try...

The "2>&1" will send stderr to stdout. My guess is your last line is
stderr.

I agree 100% with Greg's comments for the goto() / ifsetor() discussion
on the internals list. As far as speed goes if the dev team knew of
ways to improve specific parts of the codebase (while maintaining the
rest of the features available in PHP) then I'm confident they would
make that change.
There was one comment on the internals list that perhaps the
documentation should have a big fat red warning label that says "DO NOT
USE THIS UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING". I guess the
developers assume users actually read the manual, but I think this list
has proved time and again that end users don't do this. ;) This is
especially true for newbies (i.e. the ones most likely to get burned by
using goto() all over their code).
PHP-dev team: at the moment you are supplying me with 95% of the
features that I need with a base installation. Just focus on getting
Unicode support, make it stable, and make it fast.

and fix whatever it is that causes failed require_once statement to segfault
( there are other instances where simple syntax errors causes segfaults - the
really annoying thing is that I/you get no logs, no errors, nothing - not very
easy to debug) ... this has been true since php5 beta
funny thing is I only see it happening in very complex scripts, which means its
obviously not a real bug because I can't create a short reproduce script -
(slight dig at someone there)
both goto and ifsetor (and a whole host of other stuff like PDO) I can miss,
whereas proper unicode support, better datetime handling and more
indepth/usuable
documentation on php5 are things I am really looking forward to... like rather
than giving
us even more features why not give us some good/complex examples
of the newer features (SPL, Exceptions, etc, etc) and give us the knowledge
we need to leverage the tools we already have.

If there is a use for goto, that can cause certain tasks to be
acomplished faster using goto, and that implementing goto in the ZE
isn't too much work, then I don't see a problem with implementing it.
I'm not totally sure why, but Zend used goto, in the Zend Engine(one
used for php4) code for looping through opcodes. I'm sure zend saw
some benefit in using goto's when they decided to use them in the ZE
Backend.
Goto has (I believe) been described as a method of shooting yourself
in both feet at the same time. Maybe if there was an
enable_expert_mode() command to enable expert mode for that page, or
maybe a <?php_expert opening brace, that enable functionalty that is
recommended for use only by experts. - Just a thought.

Goto has (I believe) been described as a method of shooting yourself
in both feet at the same time.
[/snip]
goto (not a 'new' construct as was mentioned earlier) had its uses, but
thos would seem depricated now as you can call a function, which is
essentially what a goto did. Consider;
if('foo' == $bar){
goto(1001); //essentially a line number (remember, old school)
OR goto(LABEL); //defined constant
} else {
goto(2001);
}
VS.
if('foo' == $bar){
assimilate($bar);
} else {
anhylate($bar);
}
Where problems arose from goto they would arise from function use as
well. Nesting goto's was every bit as challenging as properly
constructing regex statements. goto also did not fit as well with OOP
methodology, being more of a procedural construct in accordance with the
procedural programming at the time that it was conceived.

Hi Alessandro
try this as well (Put these lines before and after your redirect/header
statement);
session_write_close();
header( "Location: ".$PHPcmd );
exit();
hope this helps

Subject: Re: [PHP] linux php editor
the truth is Ive been developing on windows, because of some .net
developments.
Ive been starting most new projects as web applications and using
php/mysql. On windows I used ultredit, then I found a product called
phpedit, which I liked, now Im trying to move to linux.
what I really want is a app that can do that predictive text thing, you
know when it start showing me the possible php syntax as Im typing it
in. Two reasons for this is it help with debugging as I get the syntax
correct the first time and secondly I think its cool.

Sorry, wasn't able to test this when I got home. But to clearify, when you use
COM, it's loading Outlook (as you've seen) and then talking directly to it. So
you don't need an exchange server to make it work.
Try tracing through the code and see where it's failing. And nothing's showing
up when you do "View source" (I know you said it's continuously running but
curious what happens if you stop the page load and see what's been output)?
Have you tried running the script via command line?
I'd be curious to see how far the script gets for you before it bombs out. It
might be trying to tell Outlook to do something and just hanging (hence the
perpetual loading in your browser) which is why I'm wondering how far it gets
and what happens if you run it via command-line.
More info would definitely be appreciated.

Still no luck I am afraid. Same thing happens - it kicks off an instance
of Outlook.exe on the server, but the page never loads, it just stays
blank with a never-ending progress bar.
I thought it could be security related but have shared out my Calendar
with default having reviewer access.
I am using an Exchange server but don't want to follow the route of
sharing Calendars and accessing them in Outlook.
Is the problem with the script that it has to access an Exchange server
to read the Calendar, even while Outlook is installed on the server and
configured with the same profile?
Thanks
Justin

Subject: Re: [PHP] Displaying an Outlook Calendar on a webpage using PHP
That looks like some of my code.. or a derivative of my code. For some
reason, my PC at work here is having issues with PHP instantiating with
COM so I can't test this, but the code you posted is conspicuously
missing all the braces . I'm guessing that's not your issue
though... or else you'd be getting some kind of error maybe.
Anyway, here's a re-braced version of the code. It should produce
something when run through a web browser, but you might View Source and
see what shows up there.
This does require Outlook to be installed on the PC that PHP is running
on, as that's how COM works. I never messed around with remote COM
calls, but I'm sure there's some way to do that.
If someone wants to try this code and see if there are other issues
besides the missing braces. I don't see anything obviously wrong with
it (besides maybe some sloppy programming on my part :). I'll see about
checking it when I get home tonight if I have time.

did it when

Hello all,
I am trying to publish an Outlook Calendar on a web page using PHP and
COM. I have managed to track down on the net some examples of how it
could be done. The most promising is the code below. However, all that
happens is that outlook.exe is started on the server, but nothing is
displayed on the web page and it just times-out.
I am running PHP 4.0.18 on Windows 2003 server and I have Outlook 2002
installed on the server.
Does anybody know why it doesn't work?
Thanks
Justin

Hi, sorry if what I am asking makes no sense, but here it goes..
Some one has asked me to set a web page from within wich users could
launch local applications. Those applications are allready installed in
the client PC.
The link on the web page would act as a simple link to start the
application.
This page would be something that resembles the windows desktop with all
its links on it.
My question is would it be possible to start in example word or excel
from a link in a web page?
Thanks for your answers
Mauricio
