Has anybody heard (or done it himself) how to upgrade PHP on a Go Daddy
virtual server?
Current version is 4.3.11 and I'd like to upgrade to 5.1.2.
All I know is that this server is a Red Hat Fedora 2.
I have SSH access and root as well.
Thanks for your help!

Might be better to ask on the devel list, the developers will be able
to help you out better with this problem.

I posted the full output of make earlier in this thread, as well as the
configure command i'm using, what are you looking for? The ./configure
output lines that reference libxml say nothing out of the ordinary.

Hi there!
I've found out that I can use expat XML, but I can't figure out HOW to
use... it seems simple, but I tried and can't figure it out...
I'd like to get retrieve info from
http://www.frisim.com/frisim/servlet/rss?searchString=google
and convert it to html...
I've read a lot a of text for Expat, but found no really good example (I
found one at phpbuilder.com but with links that went to xml-files that
didn't exists ):
Someone who have used expat.. ..and can give me a hint...

I'm having kind of a weird problem I want $MailSubject to contain a the value
"prayer" unless I tell it other wise.
// on a form processor.
$MailSubject = "Praise";
include_once("mailit.php");
// then in mailit.php
include "form2mail.php";
// and in formtomail.php
if(!defined($MailSubject)) // This is the problem line
{
$MailSubject = "Prayer";
}
The problem I believe is with the defined function check. (I think) the value
of $MailSubject is maintained to the end so I'm don't think it to be a scope
issue, but also, if I don't assign a value to it it should be running the if()
statement, but it's not.
Any thoughts?

As Philip said, try if (empty($MailSubject))
defined only checks constants:
<?php
define('my_var', 'test');
if (defined('my_var')) {
echo 'found it!<br/>';
} else {
echo 'not found!<br/>';
}
?>

Well ain't that a kick in the pants? Works great now, thanks. And now I see
the difference between empty() and defined().
Again, many thanks,

defined checks for CONSTANTS, not variables.
You may want http://php.net/isset
Or maybe you want if ($MailSubject == "")
But for sure you don't want defined.

Greetings All,
I am pretty new to PHP and are tasked to move a clients site from:
www.domain.com/somedirectory/home.php to www.home.php
Sounds simple at first but, when I moved the files to the root of the
httpdocs I get an array of errors in the vain of:
*Warning*: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(../inc/siteconfig.php) is not within the allowed path(s):
(/home/httpd/vhosts/sealbeachprofessionals.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in
/home/httpd/vhosts/sealbeachprofessionals.com/httpdocs/home.php on line 1
What exactly does this mean? I am sure there must be a config somewhere
that has set it up to load from the sub directory and now it prevents it
from loading from the root directory. Is this correct? What exactly does
this error mean? Thanks to all!*

Make a phpinfo file(google for phpinfo), and check it for a configureation
path. It will probably be something like /etc/php.ini or /etc/php/php.ini,
or /this/that/something/else/php.ini. Open up this php.ini file and check
for the open_basedir

If you're moving a clients site wouldn't your work be a better place
to ask? They will have processes etc to follow on how to do this and
will be able to help you a lot quicker than anyone here.

Open_basedir restricts where you can access files (see
http://www.php.net/features.safe-mode and search for 'open_basedir' to
tell you exactly what it does).
If you are in this folder:
/home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs
you are trying to include '../inc/siteconfig.inc.php'
so that means you are trying to access:
/home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/inc/siteconfig.inc.php
which isn't in the open_basedir list (so php is stopping you).
Adjust the path to the 'siteconfig.inc.php' file and you should be right to go.

Where is Open_basedir set? In a global php setting or can it be done
site by site? And if so, what is the most logical place to put the file
that controls this?
The reason I ask is because I have found a file called siteconfig.php
located in the inc/ directory and below, please find it's contents.
<?
$template_title="Seal Beach Professionals - REFERRAL Networking Group";
$template_bgcolor="#4C4A4A";
$template_textcolor="#000000";
$template_bgpicture="../images/bg.gif";
$template_content_bgcolor="#FFFFFF";
$template_header_pic="../images/header.jpg";
$template_footer_pic="../images/footer_img.jpg";
$template_database_host="localhost";
$template_database="sealdata";
$template_databasen="sealuser";
$template_databasep="sealpass";
?>
I do not see anything here that will restrict it from running from
either www.thedomain.com or www.thedomain.com/subfolder/
These all seem to be loading relative to root.
Thanks for everyones help so far.

It's set by apache and unless you have root access you don't have any
control over it.
Re-read the error message, php tells you all you need to know:
File(../inc/siteconfig.php) is not within the allowed path(s):
....
in /home/httpd/vhosts/sealbeachprofessionals.com/httpdocs/home.php on line 1
So
The first line of home.php is:
include('../inc/siteconfig.php');
Change that.
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Find your php.ini and read it.
Actually, find your httpd.conf and read it, because you can change
JUST DocumentRoot in httpd.conf, and not move any files around.
'Course, you'll have to put the files back, but you won't have to
change any of the paths embedded in the PHP web application.

I'm making the switch from Windows to Linux for mydesktop and
development environment and would greatly appreciate suggestions for
development tools on this platform. Ubuntu seems to be getting all the
press, but suggestions about Linux distributions are welcome as well!

That's a bit of a can of worms :) Everyone has different preferences.
Ubuntu or debian are good choices (ubuntu is kept more up to date, the
debian-stable branch only gets updated with security releases between
major versions).
Fedora is easy to use and set up.
They are both package based systems so unless you have a very specific
need from a package (eg with php you need the 'pcntl' functions) you
don't need to compile anything from source.
If you want to use a 'source package' system, I've been told Gentoo is
good (works much the same as freebsd) but I don't have any experience
with it.

Having said that, Debian Sid is usually pretty bleeding-edge.
And, although it is considered the 'Unstable' branch, it is nowhere
near as bas as people think. I'm typing this e-mail on an amd64 box
running Debian Sid amd64, current uptime 54 days, last reboot due to
installing a new UPS. But then again, one of my hats is SysAdmin, so I
can deal with update/upgrade issues better than the average end-user...
The only issue for me really is that Quanta has become a bit unstable
recently (a known bug, reported on Bugzilla) but other than that, I love
Debian.
My personal recommendation is Debian Stable (currently Sarge) for
mission-critical servers, Debian Testing (currently Etch) for
workstations, and Debian Unstable (always Sid) if you need the latest
and greatest on your workstation. I do have a few servers running
Testing, but would not use Unstable on a mission-critical server.
We run Debian on just about all our work boxen. Heck, we even run
Debian on our SUN hardware...
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Ozz.

Before I get into what distib to use there are a few things i'd
like to point out:
1) Avoid using the packaging system the OS provides for the
developement server. If you do, you will be under the control
of the OS for your choice of versions of webserver, db server,
php, or any dependency that is needed for those.
2) Avoid using your desktop OS as your developement server. With
most distribs it is probably best you use the packaging system
to manage upgrades and be on the latest package system avaiaible.
By following rule 1, it is rather easy to set up a system that can
handle multiple versions of any combination of your main tools
required for development. For example, I have my development
machine able to test and run php apps with php 3.x, 4.x, 5.0.x and
5.1.x.. and soon perhaps php 6.x. I can also control easily wich
version of apache I want to use, 1.x, 2.0.x or 2.2.x. Of course db
mysql 4.1 or 5.0 and the latest pgsql.
For rule 2, what you work with vs what you are developing things
for on your devel server should be isolated. If you find out there
is a security update for Firefox and so you go and update your
system and silently it updated some libraries that were required by
one of your development apps, your development app will be upgraded
without you even knowing.
If you can't do rule 1 or 2 cause well you dont have the money for
two different machines, or you dont have the time to install
manually the developement apps needed, try to use a distrib for
the machine you plan on eventually publishing your code on.
I've never used Ubuntu, but another distrib i usually recommend is
Gentoo. The learning curve for gentoo is probably a little high
but the package system is very flexible, and besides it is based on
the BSD port system :)
HTH,
Curt.

You only need to do it once - then store it back in the database. That
info isn't going to change.
When you store the image in the database you can get the info and store it then.

No, I can't. I've got some images, with exif information in the DB. I'm now
generating thumbnails for them, and also storing those in the DB. No files
at all, and therefore I can't read exif data for the thumbnails.
As I said I've solved the problem by writing a temporary file and reading
exif from that. Not pretty or efficient, but it works.

So how do you GET the images into the database? from the filesystem
(whether you are uploading through a form or importing it, it's still
on the filesystem at some point). Generate the exif once (using your
tempnam workaround) then update the database.. so you only need to do
it once.

I think you misunderstand the situation.
I've got a database of images (image data) and their exif data, I'm not
uploading any files. I want to make new entries in that DB, new images that
are thumbnails of the present images. I can do that without creating files,
but I can't get exif data of these thumbnails, because there are no files.
The exif data for the thumbnails isn't the same as for the full images.

pg_connect($connection_string);

or am I missing something here?
You might be better of not doing this with php.
Create the dump on the first machine.
Copy the dump (scp, rsync, copy via samba-mounted drive, whatever)
import it
It depends what your end goal is.

Hello there, I am having an issue with HTML_QuickForm.
When I try to send the form to another page, it does not
seem to validate the form.
Any suggestions.
// Load the main class
require_once 'HTML/QuickForm.php';
// Instantiate the HTML_QuickForm object
$form = new HTML_QuickForm('firstForm', 'get', './somepage.html');
---- ELEMENTS / RULES ----
// validate form
if ($form->validate()) {
?? $form->submitValues();
exit;
}
Thank you
