and you can then switch between PHP4 AND 5?

Very very nice. I'm impressed with how easy everything was to
setup. I keep wondering why nobody at PHP/MySQL/Apache ever sets up
stuff like this.

./configure \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
--with-zlib \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-mysql-socket=/tmp
I had a similar problem and downloaded the tar version of the Mac OS
X Mysql Server. Pointed --with-mysql= to the libraries and that
folder and it worked. Decided to compile my own because the packages
always seem to lag behind the released versions of the software. Also
need both postgresql and mysql support.

WAP 1.2.1 (not sure of the last version number ) is dead. Dont even
bother with WAP 1.
WAP 2 is based on XHTML MP, thats xhtml mobile profile. Most newer
phones are in some way compliant with WAP 2. What I mean is they will
all display correctly, but things like file uploads aren't implemented
on all phones.
Some people may say that WAP 1 was more compact and efficient than the
latest version, but remember phones now use 3G, HSDPA etc instead of
grps/edge, so I don't think thats a valid argument anymore, unless your
accessing a wap page with brick.

We filter 1000's of spam messages every day. But a few do get through.
Some spammer manually validate their addresses and then spam. It's
very difficult to stop those.

Hello all;
I am scratching my head over the following:
I have written code that is supposed to format text
sent from a form in a textarea form element.
This text does not have new lines added if
the text is allowed to automatically wrap to the
next line. I want to automatically add new lines
to this input at appropriate locations.
Here is the code I wrote:
(It is in early stages of development)
function format_text($a, $b) // $a is text to format, from textarea, $b
is line length
{ $line = array();
$limit = (strlen($a)/$b);
for($i = 0; $i < $limit; $i++)
{
$start = $i*$b;
$stop = (($i*$b) + $b) - 1;
print "start : $start stop : $stop<br>";
array_push($line, substr($a, $start,
$stop)); // separate into lines not greater than $b length
}
return $line;
}
Here is what is entered in a test run:
(actual text has no new lines, I added them here)
Then let us test a long string that spans more than the line length of
the text area field.
This is the way I practice both writing and typing. If I could only get
by the booby traps
and land mines with my typing, I could get somewhere.
This is output code:
if($_POST['input'])
{print strlen($_POST['input']);
print'<br>';
$output = array();
$output = format_text($_POST['input'], 60);
for($i = 0; $i < count($output); $i++)
{ print "$i :".$output[$i].'<br>'; }
}
Here is what comes out the other end:
239
start : 0 stop : 59
start : 60 stop : 119
start : 120 stop : 179
start : 180 stop : 239
0 :Then let us test a long string that spans more than the lin
1 : length of the text area field. This is the way I practice both
writing and typing. If I could only get by the booby tr
2 :oth writing and typing. If I could only get by the booby traps and
land mines with my typing, I could get somewhere.
3 :ps and land mines with my typing, I could get somewhere.
// e is missing from end of line 0
// portions of the text are repeated out of sequence.
The questions I have are:
What does the browser actually do when it automatically wraps textarea
input?
What could explain the scrambled result?
Thanks much to anyone taking the time:

Why don't you use the wordwrap() function built into php?
php.net/wordwrap - you can set the length etc of each line you want.

You made a minor mistake:) substr takes length as its third parameter,
not stop.
Here is the prototype of substr():
string *substr* ( string string, int start [, int length] ),

If you're running this through your webserver, then the webserver is
actually executing the script, not the "owner" of the script.
So apache is running as 'nobody', the script executes, all commands the
script makes are done as 'nobody'.

It totally depends on what type of application you are writing, and what
features you want "out of the box" so that you don't have to design and
write them yourself.
For example, if you are writing an administrative web application and you
want user authentication, dynamic menus, role based access control, audit
logging without database triggers, built-in workflow, and
internationalisation facilities then you might want to take a look at
Radicore (http://www.radicore.org/)
As well as having all the above features it has a custom built Data
Dictionary which can generate all the basic code for you. This enables you
to start with nothing more than a database schema which you then import into
the Data Dictionary, and from there you can press buttons to generate the
database table classes and also buttons to generate the scripts to view and
maintain those tables. All this without having to write a single line of
code. It uses a catalog of transaction patterns which deal with single
tables, one-to-many relationships and even many-to-many relationships.
There is a massive amount of documentation and sample code, and a tutorial
is available at http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/radicore-tutorial.html

From your original message, it sounds like you want to strip selected complete
words, not substrings, from a string for indexing or searching or such.
Right?
I think that was my mistake- not differentiating between the two.
Symbols and such I wanted to replace as substrings, yet noise words I
wanted to replace as words. Now that I've created two arrays, one with
symbols and one with noise words, things are on track.
Try something like this:
$string = "The quick sly fox jumped over a fence and ran away";
$words = array('the', 'a', 'and');
function make_regex($str) {
return '/\b' . $str . '\b/i';
}
$search = array_map('make_regex', $words);
$string = preg_replace($search, '', $string);
print $string . "\n";
I was completely unaware of the array_map function. Thank you- that is
exactly what I needed.
What you really need to do that is to match word boundaries, NOT string
boundaries. So you take your list of words and mutate *each one* (that's
what the array_map() is about) into a regex pattern that finds that word,
case-insensitively. Then you use preg_replace() to replace all matches of
any of those patterns with an empty string.
Yep.
You were close. What you were missing was the array_map(), because you needed
to concatenate stuff to each element of the array rather than trying to
concatenate a string to an array, which as others have said will absolutely
not work.
Yep.
I can't guarantee that the above code is the best performant method, but it
works. :-)
It certainly does. Of course I'm not using it exactly how you pasted
it, but you got me on track. Thank you very much.
To all others who took part in this thread: I was unclear on another
point as well, the issue of sql-injection. As I'm removing the
symbols, signs, and other non-alpha characters from the query, I
expect it to be sql-injection proof. As I wrong? ie, could an attacker
successful inject sql if he has nothing but alpha characters at his
disposal? I think not, but I'd like to hear it from someone with more
experience than i.
Thank you.

How does php decide what timezone a user is in? Although I am in
Haifa, Israel (GMT+2), when I go to a page with date("e") I get
"America/New_York" displayed.
To confirm, could some users tell me what output they get on:
http://what-is-what.com/what_time_is_it.php
Let me know where you are in the world, and what timezone you are in
to confirm/ deny the correctness of the php date function. Any advise
on how to get the correct user's timezone would be most appreciated.
Note: I have considered matching the users' IP against a database, but
I'd prefer a simpler method, without the overhead of such a database.

Close but no cigar! It's how the server is configured, not where it is
installed. But essentially correct, the PHP datetime functions use the
server datetime not the client.

That's not what php.net/date implies:
e: "Timezone identifier"
T : "Timezone setting of this machine"
If "T" is the timezone of the machine, then why have "e" if it's the same thing?

They're not the same thing. The date_default_timezone_set() function
allows you to change the timezone that PHP will use. The 'T' option
bypasses that setting and gets the timezone as set on the machine.

serverside. Any other ideas on behalf of the think-tank that is this
list?
There is no way to get the client date/time/timezone on the server-side
unless you have something on the client to give it to you, Javascript
being the obvious example.

Hmm... in $_SERVER array you get a client IP so You know client coutry. if
exists a list of ip numbers and coutries should be exists list coutries and
timezones too, so it should be easy. Eventually you may create short list of
this countries what will be visitors from (or only biggest coutries).

The IP address isn't very reliable though. Many global corporations only
have a couple of external gateways through which all traffic goes. A user in
the UK could very well have their visable IP address located in the US.

I have a debian box, I have just added a bunch of locales using the following
command:
dpkg-reconfigure locales
before I added more locales the only installed locale was '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
my php version is 5.1.2, now for the madness:
1. running the command 'locale -a' returns the following [shortened] list:
C
de_DE
dutch
en_GB
nl_NL
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
nl_NL.iso88591
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
nl_NL.utf8
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
POSIX
2. running the following from the commandline returns "en_GB" (meaning the
locale was set correctly)
php -r 'var_dump(set_locale(LC_ALL, "en_GB"))';
3. running the same code via the webbrowser (it is Apache2 and yes I have
restarted it!) always returns FALSE
(meaning the locale was not set correctly)
in fact I can set any installed locale I want on the commandline BUT trying to
set any other than the
originally installed "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in code running via Apache results in
FALSE being returned and the locale not being
set.
has anybody got a clue for me?
TIA.

You don't mention what warning(s) the failing setlocale() call produces.

ah, I did check this. doing <?php system('locale -a'); ?> in a webpage
produces the same list as running it on the commandline.

it just returns false, telling me that the chosen locale(s) was/were not set -
there
is no PHP error at all.

I just checked the setlocale() code (in HEAD), and surely it can
return false without a warning, it can even be an almost empty (and
just as quiet) stub that just returns false, depending on the value
of HAVE_SETLOCALE during compilation.
So, before you go off recompiling mod_php with a few printf() and
perror() calls here and there, you should find out whether it's PHP
or Apache that makes the call fail. Try a simple CGI script, does
locale manipulation succeed there?

I'm trying to build some functionality commonly seen on the web where
a user enters a zip code and they are provided with a listing of
business or entity locations sorted by geographical distance. I've got
a client with a distributor network and I need to create something
like this for them. They want an end user to be able to enter a zip
code and have a list of closest distributors be listed. Anyone know of
any open source, free code to get this done. I have a zip code
database and can perform a query on it and return the relevant
records. I can even associate distributors with certain zip codes, but
the whole geographical distance thing is beyond me. Anybody do this
before and have advice? Thanks for any guidance here.
Regards,
Ben

Hello,
Is there a open source file repository / managment software written in PHP ?
I need to setup a file repository where everyone working in my group can
share their files in an organized manner. I am talking about something like
phpBB, but with file handling capabilities.
Thanks in advance.

Best,

Chris:
Use two scripts -- it will work.
The first to display a page, like so:
http://xn--ovg.com/a/wait.php
And then have that script run your second script like so:
ob_clean();
include('second.php');
exit(0);
