a few alternatives:
1. read through each posted string manually.
2. hire a persian monkey to do that for you. (monkeys are cheaper ;-)
3. google around for a persian spellchecker and use that - if you
can find one then the chances are you'll have to use it via an exec() call or
something similar.
4. or use the pspell php extension ... I have no idea of persian
dictionaries are available:
http://php.net/manual/en/ref.pspell.php
you are in luck, aspell does support Persian (fa):
http://aspell.sourceforge.net/man-html/Supported.html

I don't think you can run them together under the same webserver
(Apache) as the AddType is the same for both...
AddType application/x-httpd-php
You would need to find a way to distinguish between the two.

1) just run the php4.x code with php5.1
2) configure one version as a module the other one to run as a cgi.

I am trying to create my own CMS. To being with I want to let users edit
anything within a <p> tag.
I want to have a menu to the left and display the webpage in the rest of the
page, and for each set of <p> tags I want the user to be able to click on
the link to edit that paragraph.
My problem is how can I include a webpage in my CMS and for each <p> tag
wrap an <a href""> tag araound it?
[/snip]
Much applause for your initiative.
You can include a webpage in your CMS using frames or iframes
(http://www.w3.org). While there you can look for information on anchors,
which is what an <a> tag is.
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Store each paragraph text in a database
Table 1 = tblPage
id Name
1 Welcome Page
2 About Page
Table 2 = Content
id pageid content
1 1 This is some content in a paragraph
2 1 This is some more content
3 1 This is the last content on this page
4 2 Some about content
Then when you display your page you pass the page id through the URL like:
http://www.domain.com/page.php?pageid=1
// get the page id of course do some validating is_numeric etc
$id = $_GET['pageid'];
// using pear db package
$res =& $db->query ( "SELECT * FROM tblContent WHERE pageid = '".$id."'" );
// loop through data and display it with an edit link
while( $res->fetchInto( $objData ) )
{
echo "<p>".$objData->content."<a
href=\"edit.php?pageid=".$objData->od."\">Edit</a></p>";
}
Your edit page would then have some code that would load the content into a
text area or wywsiwig editor or something .... You would then also have to
add functionality where a user could add a paragraph and what order you
would want those paragraphs to show up in, delete paragraphs.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
Just been looking over some code, and saw
if (strlen($data) !== file_put_contents($filename, $data))
....
where $data is UTF8, so wondering if this is going to break in PHP6, if
so what should be the equivalent code?

If $data is UTF8 already, shouldn't you really be using mb_strlen? In
which case, I'd expect it to function exactly the same in PHP6.

that currently works with UTF8 strings? or does it only work because you happen
to
only ever have singlebyte characters in your strings?
currently strlen() does not give the expected value on 'multibyte' strings (or strings that contain one or more
multibyte chars) which is why the mb_*() functions exist [e.g. mb_strlen()].
In php6 all string functions should work with unicode (I believe its UTF16
internally) transparently
and therefore tyhe code you showed should not break BUT rather it should start
working ;-)
don't hold your breath for php6 - making php unicode native is a complex,
difficult undertaking,
it will come when its ready - given the snafu's [IMO] surrounding php5.0.5 and
php5.1 I hope
they take their time.

Works with UTF8 strings. Handled nl & fr translations of the PHP Manual fine.
Tried kr & ja, but the docbook srcs coming out of CVS aren't compliant.

strlen() returns the byte count, as does file_put_contents return the number of
written bytes.

It works now. It'll break of strlen() starts returning character counts,
instead of byte counts.

Not, just that this is one of the few bits of code that could be problematic,
as the pages are almost competely generated by xslt
extension, therefore avoiding PHP character encoding issues.

Hello,
This page works on a operator hosted production server but not my own test
server. I have no idea what's causing this and I REALLY need some help or
ideas what to check.
This is the browsers address line:
http://localhost/index.php?team=F10a
I have this in my page and it doesn't work:
$sql = "select jouk_nimi from x_jun_jouk where jouk_id='$team' ";
$kysely = mysql_query($sql);
$tulos = mysql_fetch_row($kysely);
$jouk_nimi = $tulos[0];
$jouk_nimi -variable will be empty.
This works (replaced the $team with static entry "F10a")
$sql = "select jouk_nimi from x_jun_jouk where jouk_id='F10a' ";
$kysely = mysql_query($sql);
$tulos = mysql_fetch_row($kysely);
$jouk_nimi = $tulos[0];
$jouk_nimi get's right value from database.
This sql clause works when ran from PhpMyAdmin. It returns the right value.
"select jouk_nimi from x_jun_jouk where jouk_id='F10a'
So I think that somehow the $team variable is not passed from the address
line. Is there something in PHP ar Apache that needs to be configured
differently? The test server is on a OpenSuse 10.0. Apache version is
2.0.54-10. Apache2-Mod_PHP4 version is 4.4.0-6.2. MySQL version is 4.1.13-3.
PHP4-Mysql is installed. Everything ispretty much on their default
confgiration.
All modules installed were supplied with the Suse 10.0
Thanks

Hi Will.
Looks to me that you don't have register_globals turned on in your home
server. Add this to the top:
$team=$_GET['team'];
...and see if it works.
I'll leave the SQL injection dangers of your code to other posters. ;-)

You'll notice if you compare the output of phpinfo() from both
server, the other server has register_globals on.
You can fix this by explicitly defining where the variable $team is
comming from.
$team = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['team']);
$sql = "select jouk_nimi from x_jun_jouk where jouk_id='$team' ";
Also note the escaping of the string; you should be sure to
properly escape the string to avoid sql injection.

In the php.ini and/or in a .htaccess (if you're using Apache, and that
Apache server is configured to allow such changes in a .htaccess).
However, let me be the fist to suggest that you leave register_globals
off, and write code to work with that (it will continue to work properly
on a server with globals on). Also, the standing rule: Never Trust User
Input.

Even so, John's excellent advice should still be taken. You should not
generally code with a dependence on register_globals, for reasons you have
just seen.

Greetings
I'm having some trouble on a members online script.
I use a php script to track member login to avoid multiple logins on
different ips etc.
When a logged member closes the browser window I can't delete the table
entry because I will not have access to some sort of "Session_OnEnd" action
on hosting.
Is there a workaround for this?
I'm using PHP 5.0.4 and IIS on win XP.
Thanks in advance.
Pedro.
