Hi
I just asked you because I m unaware of those things. All wont be the same..
better stop blaming and criticizing and work on the things. And My country
the critique is justified because you _just_ asked - you didn't (seemlingly)
make any effort to even do a 5 second search for anything related to
what you want to achieve.
and there was no blame placed anywhere, btw.
people don't criticize like U.
I serously doubt that of the 800million+ people currently living in
in the Indian subcontinent none of them have ever critizised anything.
as an example: the guy that owned this blog, http://mediaah.blogspot.com/,
obviously critizised something or somebody (given that he was server
a take down notice).
UR country people do such things.
which country might that be then? :-P
Thanks for your help

that will allow someone with absolutely no knowledge of
dictionary/spelling algorithm 'magic'/etc to go about implementing
a routine that will automatically split a string of characters
into two or more strings at exactly the point you it to be split unless
that routine involves _you_ doing it manually at a keyboard.
software doesn't generally do well at either mind-reading or smelling.
maybe google will launch GoogleSmell[tm] soon - in the mean
time try their search engines (anyones search engine for that matter -
Yahoo! is another good one to get you going) ... or do you expect me to
do the searching for you? (like some of your country-men have seemed to

We need to check the spelling of a word which is actually a Domain name.

"online trading". So we would like to have the word to be split into
phrases
and check the spelling too. The normal spell checkers are just checking
the
words in the dictionary but not splitting the word into phrases.
by all means ask a question.
oh btw, I doubt there are many tools out there capable fo smelling
that you want a space between the 'e' and the 't' of "onlinetradeing".

When your post was checked, I found words that were absent, such as:
Google, Google search, and any attempt at finding a solution besides
posting this nonsense to a php list.
Your question is as shallow as the solution you seek is complex --
try thinking about it for a while.

I'm creating a search function as part of our webmail frontend, however I'm
having big problems with timeout etc.
What we'd like to do is run the actual search query in the background (i.e.
fork) while the viewable page shows a nice scrollie banner etc!
Due to various problems with the server we are using (Zeus) we can't just
run an exec(). I've had a look around, and it would seem that pcntl maybe
the way forward.
Does anyone have an example working script, or indeed a decent tutorial on
how to use the functionality? The php manual has limited information on
using the functions, and I just can't get my head around how it's meant to
work?!!!
Cheers

IMHO forking in response to a web request is a very very very bad idea(tm).
I had a similar problem a while back. I solved it by having a CLI
process that watches a search queue table in the DB. When it sees an
entry it kicks off another script to do the actual search. Meanwhile the
frontend is using AJAX to display a progress bar using a percentage
written to the search queue record by the searching process. Works very
well for that site, although it has to be said it is not a particularly
busy site so scalability has never been tested.
Using this method it's possible to restrict each session to a single
search if needed since you can set a cancel flag in the search queue
record which gets checked by the searching process. This particular site
ties each search to the php session id.
HTH.

On top of that advice, see the big notice on the php manual page:
http://www.php.net/pcntl
Process Control should not be enabled within a webserver environment
and unexpected results may happen if any Process Control functions are

I have a textboxt which searches for the surname of a client. A SELECTBOX
searches for the area. I am trying to generate a query that searches all of
scotland (when area=a) and by area (say I live in area 16= "edinburgh") and
combine this with the name search
select name="area" class="text" id="area">
<option value="a">All of Scotland</option>
<option value='1'>Aberdeen City Counci...</option>
<option value='16'>Edinburgh City Counc...</option>
<option value='17'>Falkirk Council</option>
<option value='18'>Fife Council</option>
<option value='19'>Glasgow City Council</option>
<option value='20'>Highland Council</option>
<option value='21'>Inverclyde Council</option>
<option value='22'>Midlothian Council</option>
<option value='23'>Moray Council</option>
</select>
This is what I thought would work..
$query1= "select * from $table_name WHERE sname LIKE '$search_string%' ";
if ($area="a") {
$query1 .=" AND area='a'";
}
else {
$query1 .="AND area='$area'";
}

Firstly, you're assigning "a" to area rather than testing whether
$area is "a". You need a "==" operator, not a "=".
Secondly, even if you were testing $area properly, you're doing the
same thing in both halves of the if-statement. Which isn't very
useful.
Really, you only need the "AND area='?'" part if $area is not equal to "a":
if ($area != "a") {
$query1 .= " AND area='$area'";
}

hi, is mktime() actually faster than date() or any other date functions?
[/snip]
This sounds like the perfect opportunity for you to write a test and
return the results.
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
that said how often do you _really_ need a 1 or a 0,
Surprisingly enough, I need it quite often. Enough so that I keep an
example nearby.
I'm assuming that the
1 or 0 are used to detemine an on/off state. is my assumption correct?
Mostly even/odd, this/that, right/left, on/off, up/down, se/nw sort
of things. :-)
if so then take another good look at the way php autocasts variables,
for instance tyr running this:
$zero = 0; $one = 1;
var_dump(
(false == $zero),
(true == $one),
((bool)$zero),
($zero & 1),
((bool)($zero & 1)),
((bool)$one),
($one & 1),
((bool)($one & 1))
);
That's very interesting, but being dyslexic, it's beyond me -- it
looks like Halloween (lot's of boo's). That's one of the reasons why
I don't use IF ELSE/IF -- I simply can't follow it. But I can always
find a way around it's use.
Thanks for the code.

The page works fine on my localhost the only problem is the first page of
the pager is the only one I can see before it resets.
On the remote host the area should automatically be set to a with the line.
if(!isset($_POST['area'])){ $_POST['area']='a'; $area = $_POST['area'];}
but it does not work. This may shed some light on it!

Afternoon
Was wondering if there is an easier way to get returned variables into
the $_SESSION rather than going through each one??
eg
$link_id = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)
or die("Connection to $dbhost failed on verification
section");
mysql_select_db($logindb, $link_id)
or die("Selection of database failed on verification section");
$query = "SELECT * FROM blah where blah = 'blah'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Query failed: " . mysql_error());
while ($line = mysql_fetch_object($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$id = $line->id;
$firstname = $line->firstname;
$surname = $line->surname;
$email = $line->email;
}
mysql_close($link_id);
$_SESSION["id"] = "$id";
$_SESSION["firstname"] = $firstname;
$_SESSION["surname"] = $surname;
$_SESSION["email"] = $email;
Any help here is appreciated....

First of all, why are you using mysql_fetch_object and then passing in
MYSQL_ASSOC? You should be using $line = mysql_fetch_array($result)
instead. If you get the row data as an associative array, you can then
simply do:
foreach ( $line as $key => $value )
{
$_SESSION[$key] = $value;
}
That way, whatever columns you select from the database will
automatically be loaded into session variables, so if you change the
SQL, you'll also change the sessions. I think this is what you're
asking for, apologies if I'm misinterpreted the question.

Because you can either work with large Numbers before point or after.
both doesn't work.
And on top of that, PHP works intern with double typed vars.
That's causing the problem here.
probably round() and number_format() will have better outcomes.
Test that :)

You are going beyond the number of significant digits PHP can handle so it
is truncating beyond that. In the second case it look sstrange, the 12305
ending, but it is probably a 'round' number if you put it in binary, but it
turns funny when converted to decimal. In the last example, the precision
does not even reach the decimal part.

PHP stores float/decimal numbers internally in 4-byte (32-bit) values
using standard C float libraries.
Rounding things off is guaranteed to produce results like this.
Though the one that ends in .12305 is a bit odd...
Still, if you NEED any sort of verifiable accuracy or especially large
scale, you'll have to use a custom library that deals with decimal
numbers as strings and allows you to choose arbitrary precision.
You'll sacrifice speed, of course. And RAM. How much you sacrifice
depends on how much accuracy you need, to some degree, but it's also
just inherently slower and more resource-intensive to do all the
calculations as strings.

Web 2.0 Hype alert. There is no such thing, just as there are no
standards for web development. I'll read it when I have more time.

I have now taken the time to read it and I am sorry that I did. It was
five minutes of drivel not remotely related to PHP other than to say
that PHP may not be Web 2.0 (which is OK because Web 2.0 is a hype term)
because the language constructs aren't friendly enough. I suggest that
the author spend some time programming C++ and then rewrite his paper.
It is nothing personal, just a review of a poorly written article.

php-internals - it got shot down there too.

That paper does not have any substance in the same way that Web 2.0 does not
have any substance. "Web 2.0" is just a marketing ploy, a buzzword for the
gullible. As far as I can see there is very little material difference
between "Web 1.0" and "Web 2.0", certainly not as much difference a desktop
application and a web application, or the difference between a flat file
system and a relational database.
If you cannot point out something which is materially different with this
mythical "Web 2.0" then you are wasting your time.

My nominee for best analogy from the article:
> Much like the artists and writers of the early twentieth century when they
realized that the weapons and machines were dehumanizing war, making it far
too easy to kill, web designers and developers realized that there was a need
for a social, human revolution within the sterile, synthetic arena of the
web. Hence, the Web 2.0 Movement was born.
Web development and war in the same sentence. Killer!

Just what I needed today, another guy trying to find solutions when he

the article is also under the name of Matt Todd, didn't catch that first time
round - very odd - if this was some kind of prank then first mailing internals
(also under the name James Crane) has a really high ***hole factor.

That's 5 minutes I'll never get back...

I've recently upgraded a server from Fedora Core 3 to Core 5 in the process php
had
been upgraded from either 3 or 4 to php 5. In doing so I had to do a major
overhaul of
a web site as many things stopped working (.i.e $HTTP_POST_VAR, etc). Haven't
gotten
through most of that I know have a problem with a page that is being submitted
to
another page which contains different values for checkboxes. I would pull the
values
from each checkbox using a foreach loop as such:
foreach ($checkbox as $value) {
echo "Value: $value<br />\n";
}
however the value is no longer being echoed to the page.
What am I missing here?
This is the code that is being submitted, $num being an incremented value:
<input name="checkbox[<?php echo $num; ?>]" type="checkbox" id="checkbox[<?php
echo
$num; ?>]" value="<?php echo $row_rsADS['customers_id']; ?>" />
Thanks in advance

Is the checkbox 'checked'? If not it returns no value.

It's a major security hole if left on ;)
And convincing people to plug that hole was not happening, so something
more major was needed.
As I understand it - PHP6 will not even have the option to enable it at
all :)

Only if the programmer uses it. As I understand it, register_globals being
on doesn't present a security risk in and of itself as long as the
programmer is not relying on its functionality.

it's a major _potential_ security hole. proper initialized of all
[global] variables (and santization of incoming data) means an application
running under register_globals can be as safe as one running without.
the reality of course is that there are millions of security issues out
there due to the problem of global variables not being initialized ... :-P

correct - setting register_globals in php6 will cause an error.

Does anyone know how to resolve my problem
I tried to get the referer url with $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] but returns
blank when I use javascript: document.location='...' from the previous page.
Thank you.

Don't do that.
:-)
More specifically, no browser is required to provide HTTP_REFERER, so
that value is completely un-reliable.
If, for some reason, your application NEEDS the preceding page, you'll
need to track it in the URL, or in their session, or through some
mechanism that YOU control.
Rule #1:
Never, ever, ever, trust the browser.
Or the guy/gal/bot using it, for that matter.
Hope that helps, even if it's *so* not what you wanted to hear.
