Try this one:

I have used it and would recommend it.

I'm not a sysadmin so I'm sorry if this sounds like a dumb question:
I have a powerbook running 10.4 which has php installed correctly for the webserver. However, for the CLI version, it is 4.3.11. How best could I specify the correct version of php for the CLI (either switching via configuration file or at runtime of the script)? 

When I do  "sudo find / -name php -print" , I get the following:

/usr/bin/php
/usr/include/php
/usr/lib/php

How would I know which version in which?

"which php" should tell where your phpcli binary are.
php -v should tell you which php version you are running.

Hi everyone

Quick question:

If I have such a loop:

<?
for($i=0;$i<1000000;$i++) {
  if($i==100) {
    // do something special for this occurence
  }
  // do something standard
}
?>

In this case it seems such a waste that the if() statement is done 999999 
times when it's not needed. Is there any obvious trick that I am missing? 
I'm not sure how taxing a simple if() statement is on a server, maybe it's 
negligible, or is it something to worry about?

Something which I'd prefer NOT to do:

<?
for($i=0;$i<100;$i++) {
  // do something standard
}

// do something special for $i = 100

for($i=101;$i<1000000;$i++) {
  // do something standard
}
?>

as I would have have to either keep two copies of the code or write a 
function just for this purpose, which hardly seems worth it.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to think about my question and/or 
respond.

Best wishes,

Steve McGill

Hi,
I want to replace the content of html links : <a href="foo" 
name="bla">REPLACETHIS</a>.

$html=preg_replace("/(<a.*name=.*>)(.*)<\/a>/isU",$link,$html,1);
This generally works but removes <a>,</a> tags too.
How to make it work without removing anything else than (.*) in the middle of 
<a>.*</a>

Thanks in advance.

--- End Message ---

Replace the middle (.*) with ([^<]*).  This tells the regex engine to
ignore new opening tags.

Cheers,

David

If you know what you are replacing, i.e. REPLACETHIS is a placeholder, str_replace() or substr_replace() are much simpler.

 Hi,
I am just thinking about that what is better for storeing structured variables in point of view of performance. 

Is better store structured variables in associative array, for example:

$person['first_name'] = 'Karel';
$person['last_name'] = 'Kozlik';
$person['address'] = 'somewhere on Earth';

or in object like this:

$person->first_name = 'Karel';
$person->last_name = 'Kozlik';
$person->address = 'somewhere on Earth';
I feel that objects are better for performance, but work with associative arrays is pleasanter for me. May be the diference in performance measurable? (in heavy loaded environment) 

thanks Karel

Ave,

I¹m trying to run this very simple HTTP user authentication script:

<?php
  if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
    header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"');
    header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
    echo 'Unauthorized';
    exit;
  } else {
    
    if(($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']=="try") &&
($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']=="try")) {
    ?>

<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
My Stuff Goes Here!
</BODY>
</HTML>

    
    <?
    }
    else {
    echo "Access Denied";
    }
  }
?>

The problem is, this script runs perfectly fine on my localhost machine at
home, however it¹s not working on my web server (purchased webhosting). When
I open this page on my web site, it does bring up the popup box asking for
Username & Password ­ the problem is, even if I type the correct user/pass,
it won¹t accept it. It keeps asking me for user/pass again and again and
finally brings up the ³Unauthorized² text on the page.

Why won¹t it allow the correct user/pass to login? I don¹t understand.

The only difference between the PHP on my localhost and the PHP on my
webhost server is that my local machine is running PHP 5 and the webhost
server is running PHP 4.4.1

Hi Rahul,

Try doing a print_r($_SERVER) to see if the variables are being set.

If they aren't, take a look at the phpinfo(); -> chances are your host is 
using a CGI binary version of PHP to use together with a security wrapper 
like suPHP or phpSuExec, which might throw away the variables that you 
require.

Hey all,

Forever now I've been using Frontpage for all my web work including php.
I'm sure there's better software out there that is more suited to
writing and editing PHP pages.  What do you all use?

Thanks,

Jeff

I use Zend Studio 5, but there are plenty of other (cheaper) options.
Take a look at the following link for a list of editors with reviews.

Actually, there isn't much WORSE than FrontPage for any kind of
coding. My personal favorite for projects at work is Eclipse with
phpEclipse plugin and at home I use vim almost exclusively.

I recommend Zend Studio if you can afford it since it has a GUI for both Windows 
and Linux, and it runs fairly fast for being a Java application. ;)
I agree with Mike, pretty much anything is better than FrontPage for editing web 
pages.  If you're going to be changing both HTML and PHP, Zend works fine, but
if you want something with less features but with all the important stuff such
as syntax highlighting, multiple window buffers, and all that shebang, go for
EditPlus www.editplus.com or UltraEdit www.ultraedit.com, I prefer EditPlus
over most such "simpler" editors on Windows, and on Linux I use Jed, which has
good menu handling and Windows-like shortcuts that speed up the work. I tend to 
get slightly confused when working 95% in Windows and then having to edit
something in vim or emacs.

Just my two cents...

I use Bluefish, it's a very nice GTK+ based editor, with all types of code highlightning (html, php, c/c++, pascal, java, python are just a part of it). And that's pretty much all the features of it I use, maybe also the well written replace method. Besides that I use it as a typical text editor, I'm not too keen on template's.

I have to say Dreamweaver MX also.... it's a great all around tool for
developing sites... while it may not have all the features and be as
PHP specific  as Zend it gets the job done. I've learned that it's
just a personal preference.... the best coder i've ever met used note
pad.... LOL

I use Bluefish too and I like it, but I admit that the syntax highlighting cannot be worst: I have to press F5 when I type quotation marks in PHP. 

I think I'll switch to eclipse.

If you're using Windows, I suggest you to use Macromedia Dreamweaver.
