hello,
I am writing basically what is hopefully going to turn out eventually to
be a penpal website. There are millions out there i know but some are
tooooooooo slow and only load half the page whenever it feels like it +
has a bazillion ads and well, other things..so I decided to write my own.
What I am wanting to know, is it possible to do the signup thing in two
parts using sessions. I basically have the signup info first, then so the
user doesn't have to come back later, they can fill out their profile
right then and there, on the next page. I'm thinking about saving the
signup info and then when the user clicks continue, it would have their
info. I know session vars work between two pages but will sessions work
across 3 and 4 pages or not?
thanks

Hello,

Here is the php I've created, fairly simple:
<?php

I've tried using full paths as well
>From other threats I've double-checked this:

- the values for max_execution_time and memory_limit are large enough
for this simple program.
- permissions are correct for all files involved:
any user can run the program ( rwxr-xr-x )
any user can read input files
apache is the owner of all files involved
I'm getting frustrated, Any help will be deeply appreciated

Hi all
I am a php developer and develop huge packages. Those packages are then
installed by my clients or clients of my resellers on a score of webservers.
As with all applications, bugfixes, and updates are issued on an almost
weekly bases.
I developed an application that runs on the php cli and connects to a list of
ftp sites and is capable of performing *some* updates but all of this is
shady at most.
What I really would like is to have an rpm style system.
So that I can have for instance
package dbfunctions-1.0-1-noarch.rpm (provides dbfunctions)
package dbadmin-1.0-1-noarch (provides dbadmin, requires dbfunctions)
I read up on the rpm command and find that it is very suitable for this kind
of functionality. It support scripts that are run when a package is
installed or removed, as well as triggers that can execute scripts. For
instance if package dbadmin is updated, it can trigger a script in package
dbfunctions to for example, update a configuration script.
The downside of it all is that it requires shell access which most clients do
not have. Furthermore, not all clients are running linux, some are running
Mac (Unix based, but...?), or windows. Even though rpm exists for virtually
all platforms.
Three more requirements are not met:
1. The location of where the files in the package are installed is fixed in
the rpm
2. Many packages require updates to the database, which means that a php cli
with mysql support must be available on the system.
3. In case of a first install, information needs to be collected about the
environment and user/password stuff.
Is there anyone that can provide a solution to this or suggest another
approach to the problem?
With kind regards

First of all something about packages: PEAR is coming up with their own
format ".phar" for this. These are tar archives that may contain an
additional PHP script that is executed when unpacking the archive. This
gives you all the possibilities of other package management systems.
If you decide to go for standard package formats: I can't tell you
anything about .rpm but I know that it isn't too difficult to build .deb
packages. There are good howtos for the debian format.
As another approach: How about using Subversion? PHP developers have one
advantage: They don't have to compile their code before deployment. So
in other words: Deployment is somehow very similar to just getting the
source code. Subversion on Apache allows for easy access control. You
cann create a deployment branch or even different branches for each of
your customers. After you have created some new features in your project
you can simply merge the changes to your braches. All the client has to
do to fetch this update is one single "svn up"!

Hi,
AFAIK, in PHP5 one can't call function with function parameters .
The error is that you only can pass variables by reference.
foo(strlen('aaa'),strlen('bbbb'));
Is there some sort of workaround ?
--- End Message ---

Georgi,
You should assign the output of the functions to variables before the
call and use those variables as the parameters.

which means that you can't use a function call as the argument to a
function that required the argument to be passed by reference, if the
argument is not passed by reference then you can use a function call as
the argument directly.
apart from, atleast, func_get_args() which cannot be used directly as a
function argument for some reason I don't fully understand (has to do
with engine internals I believe)
foo(strlen('aaa'),strlen('bbbb'));

You can call functions like that without problems UNLESS the function
is expecting values by reference, i.e. results are passed back
through the parameters. If you supply a function result, then you may
as well not be calling the function as you'll never be able to get a
result back from it, hence the error message. e.g.
function foo(&$a, $b) {
$a = $a.$b;
}
If you call this as you asked, where would the result go?
Is there some sort of workaround ?
As was suggested, put your values in variables before calling the
function, though the code example you posted suggests you're trying
to do something odd.

First of all, the problem with this arises if your function foo is
defined as
function foo(&$a,&$b) { ... }
There is no problem if a and b are not reference parameters.
So think a second about this: You tell in the definition of foo that you
want to write to the position where a and b are stored. But by calling
the funtion with strlen() you don't have a position in user space
because the results of strlen() are just values which haven't been
explicitly stored.
Now you can decide if you don't write to your parameters a and b. Then
there is no need for call by reference! It is not true that PHP copies
the value and that you save memory by using references! The values of
call-by-value parameters are copied if and only if you WRITE to them!
The Zend Engine 2 is highly optimized for this.
If you want to write to a and/or b then you must supply a storage
container (also called variable *g*). Simplest way of supplying a
temporary container:
foo($t1=strlen('aaa'),$t2=strlen('bbbb'));
Have Fun!

I found the source of my mod_rewrite problems. I was doing everything
right to start with - The odd behaviour was due to a PHP bug (http://
bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35059) that's fixed in 4.4.2-dev and 5.1.0RC7-
dev (I'd assume 5.0.x as well). Recompiling with a new checkout works
fine.

You don't necessarily need to us the SQL_CACHE flag in queries - you

The last version of php5.1 i have installed APC on is a cvs
snapshot of around Feb 4 2005 11:49:05. Nothing special was needed.
The current 3.0.8 release of APC is broken in PHP 5.1.0-dev if you
ever use __autoload. It will be fixed in 3.0.9 (and is fixed in CVS),
though Rasmus implied that 3.0.9 is waiting until 5.1 release.

I guess I'll have to try a build myself a copy of APC from cvs - operative
word being try :-/
having said that I don't use __autoload() - I did but it was just a PITA -
but I wonder if the segfault still occurs if there are situations that occur
(missing class[es]) that cause the engine to check-for/try-to-run __autoload()
(even though it doesn't due to the fact that its not defined)??
thanks for the feedback!

I thought it was a good idea for a while... One major irritation with
it is that with standard error reporting you can't tell where a
missing class can't be found from (it is reported as having come from
your __autoload function). You need a stack trace to figure out where
the original problem occurred - xdebug works a treat (but it won't
mix with APC).

Strange as it may seem, you'll probably find that this is the fastest
method:
'first part of string '.(($a==$b)?$c:$d).' rest of string'
I benchmarked this a while ago and was surprised to find that
multiple concats with single quotes are significantly faster than
interpolation.

That's like using a bulldozer to tidy your living room. Why not use the
following even more readable style (and more efficient)?
$outputStr =
'first part of string '
.($a == $b ? $c : $d)
.' rest of string';

Try measuring the difference between the various methods over a
realistic number of iterations, eg. 100. There's little point in going
through ones code trying to "optimise" these things. Sure you might gain
a millisecond here or there, but so what? You'd have to have a
*seriously* busy site for that to make a difference.

yes it is actually - everything is in the eye of the beholder.
it just so happens that we often have consensus ;-)
with regard to the bulldozer metaphor - true that using sprintf() is
such a simple case may be excessive BUT I was merely introducing the OP to
something new (possibly) - anyone asking such 'simple' questions is
not at a stage that this kind of efficiency is an issue (i.e. give
them 'whats possible' before telling them 'whats best')
the sprintf() example leaves lots of room for creativity and
code reuse (even by relative newcomers) or aleast the possiblity of
writing more managable code.... Chris Boget liked it anyway :-)
PS - Robert Cummings, I totally agree with your general comments on
internals@ regarding migration/irritation/etc btw. and if I didn't
spend so much time on 'fixing' my working code I might have had time
to take a proper look at your InterJinn project - more's the pity
that I haven't been able to so far :-/

I'm helping a friend of mine build a matchmaking website, and we have a
doozy of a problem to solve:
What I need to do is two fold:
#1 Collect whatever geographical information I need from each user to enable
#2
#2 Be able to run query's to find people NEAR (geographically) another
person.
Does anyone know of any commercial or free implementations of this? Is it
primarily a database problem or is their some way (computationally) to
compute the probable proximity of two zip codes?
Hopefully someone responds to this with a Pear package that does exactly
what I need! :) If that can't happen, then I'd appreciate any options you

Hi Tony,
I would think the first step would be to find a web service or dataset
to convert a zip code to longitude/latitude.
The formula for calculating distances from long/lat is available here:

I'm having problems with a customer who can't login to a wholesaler

set, I sent him to this script:
if( !isset( $_REQUEST['page'] ) ) {
setcookie('VATtest','Cookie has been set.',time()+50000, "/");
echo '<a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?page=1">Test cookie.</a>';
} else if( $_REQUEST['page'] == '1' ) {
if( isset( $_COOKIE['VATtest'] ) ) {
echo $_COOKIE['VATtest'];
} else {
echo 'Cookie NOT set.';
}
}

He got "Cookie NOT set." which means exactly what it says. He's using
IE 6.0, and swears up and down that he's set it to always allow
cookies from this domain. I can't verify that he's set it correctly,
but he has been told twice how to do it. I also know his browser must
be saving some cookies, as he is able to login to other sites. Has
anyone run into other sources of cookie-blockage in the past? I
cannot manage to duplicate this when I have IE set to always allow
cookies from this domain.
Thanks for any tips,
kgt
