No.
The HTTP protocol is "One Request, One Response Document"
Note that you can use PHP to dynamically build a zip file of whatever
documents the user chooses.

What are the files and what are you going to do with them at the client?
If they are to be an image mosaic, then compose it first and then send it.
If text docs, compose as a pdf and send it.
if just files, bundle them in a compressed file and let the user click on it to
open the file.

Is there a way to download multiple files in one go, short of zipping them

Concepts / directional shoves appreciated.

They are going to be .csv files extracted from a DICOM treatment plan file.

That's a good idea.

Probably the most expedient solution.
Thanks Al, and all.

Yes, you will get the same result.
You could have run both sets of code to try it faster than I typed
this answer.

The manual is correct.
The only real difference these days is that require issues an E_ERROR
(which halts processing) and include issues an E_WARNING (which lets
your script continue)
In olden times, the differences were bigger and more subtle, such as
order of compilation etc. Few folks grokked it, and even fewer (like,
none) needed it, so it got simplified.

822, 2822, whatever.
Just tell GMail to fix their dang code or get the PEAR guys to fix
theirs so it works!
:-) :-) :-)
PS
I don't even know what the standard *IS* for newlines in email headers
anymore.
I just plain gave up on it, as nobody is following it.
A standard nobody follows isn't a standard; It's a waste of paper.

Only if you printed it out in the first place. ;-P
That aside, I completely agree with you. It's sort of like the ^M
versus \n versus \r\n line terminators and how they differ across
operating systems. I fail to see the necessity in changing something
so fundamental.

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.

You could probably re-write all that code yourself, so it's not the
ONLY way, but, yeah, the only simple way, probably...
It should be pretty easy, really...

Hi,
Need some help with debugging procedures.
This is a postgresql/PHP running with PHP 5. I have used both IE7 and
mozilla 5.0 with this file. The postgres part works fine, and the html
that is generated is OK, but the .php file hangs when I run it through
the browser.
I have two tables -- data_series and data_sets with a 1-many relation
between the data_series and data_sets. My page first displays the
data_series in a <select>. Then it pulls the data_sets belonging to
user selected data_series and displays them in a select. There are
links to .php files to process the selected data_set.
My code
http://demog.berkeley.edu/~maryfran/memdev/get_data_set.php
compiles OK when I run php on it from the shell. It produces html
forms which will load into the browser and run as expected. However
when I try to run the .php file in the browser it parses the head,
displays the title, and then hangs. No error messages are displayed,
even though I have called error_reporting(E_ALL) at the very top of the
.php file. I had an echo statement on each line of php code. None were
printed out. I checked permissions on the .php file. Changing them did
not improve the situation.
I need some basic debugging tools that I don't have to figure out what
is going on. Alas, I think this code would hang before it got to the
debugger! Any advice is appreciated. At this point I am clueless.

Mary,
Can you provide the actual code for the page? None of us can
really help you out too much without seeing more than a blank page.

Looks to me like there was some reason that the emails being sent
to you were bouncing, Rob. As for the news page, I just sent a help
response a few moments ago and that's already archived at the bottom
of the page, so that seems to be working fine.

I know what's the issue now. The mailing list software was sending me a
notification about some bounces, dated Dec 4th (which I didn't notice at
first). That's ok since we had an issue with Exim and we stopped it some
time for maintenance.
I thought it was a recent issue, because I got this message today. Since
yesterday we've enabled RBL checking in Exim I thought it was that, but then
I went to the online version of the list and I noticed there were no posts
for today, so the list could also be the problem. Now I know it's neither of
them, it's just a delayed warning.
Thank you all,
Rob

I'm not sure I'd agree that order exists in the first place, much less
randomness or disorder. They could all be solely our human incorrect
interpretation.
And I've also never claimed to be sane either.
So there.

That's good, because no one here would believe you if you did.
Order, disorder, chaos, stability, randomness, et cetera, are all
just relative definitions so that we can wrap the bone in our heads
around concepts and theories under the weight of which we'd otherwise
collapse.
