I think that I may be correct in saying that google blog search uses /
is made in PHP [which I never realised]
try googling for site:blogsearch.google.com you should get back a page
with an all revealing PHPSESSID
am I speculating?

You are speculating that the search is done by a PHP script when all
that can really be ascertained is that the results are presented by a
PHP script. It's akin to presenting results in a PHP page retrieved via
Lucene or htdig.
Cheers,
Rob.

I'm completely new to php and I'm trying to setup an online trouble ticket
system. After the user logs in and submits the ticket, they're supposed to
receive an email confirmation with the ticket number. I have my Exchange
server setup on another server in the same domain that I'm trying to use to
send these emails - this server requires SMTP authentication. So I've
installed the PEAR Mail package, as it was my understanding that this would
allow me to do the authentication for the SMTP server - I installed it in
the C:\PHP5\PEAR directory. Do I need this mail package for the
authentication? In any case, where do I setup the authentication variables
to send this email? I tried adding the authentication vars to the
smtp.phpfile in the C:\PHP5\PEAR\Mail directory, but still not
authenticating. I'm
completely lost, any help is greatly appreciated.
; PHP 5.2.5 installed on Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6
; Mail-1.1.14 mail pkg with Net_SMTP-1.2.11 pkg

Ah, if only I could. The choice of host was made by my boss, and he loves
them.

Is there an easy way to calculate the number of days between two dates?
Example: 2008-02-27 - 2007-12-03 = 86 days
The dates will be in the format above YYYY-MM-DD

This should do the trick
<?php
$date1 = '2008-02-27';
$date2 = '2007-12-03';
$udate1 = strtotime($date1);
$udate2 = strtotime($date2);
$factor = 86400;
$difference = (($udate1 - $udate2) / $factor);
echo "The difference is {$difference} days";

Thanks. That's a nifty way of doing this. Ron

I like this way too but it will not work with a date before the first
January 1901.
Do you have another method?

Hi all,
Anybody knows what apache RewriteRule to use if I want url:
http://www.aaa.comm/user/aaaa/
be rewritten as:
http://www.aaa.comm/user/index.php/aaaa/
It is not a php question. But now Im not in apache list and it's a
little hurry.
Any help, thank you very much.

If possible you could:
1. Make "user" a php script
2. Use the <Files> Apache directive to make it be parsed as a PHP script
(http://www.phpguru.org/article.php/212)
3. Then in the "user" file you can use the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
to ascertain the correct content to show.

Hi all,
What's the command to use if I want to remove all the directories and
files except 'a.gz' under a directory?
There isn't a "command" in PHP to do this. You'd have to write a
script to handle that processing.
If you're looking for general Unix/Linux commands, you're in the
wrong place, but here's one possible way to do it:
sudo chattr +i /path/to/a.gz
rm -fR /path
sudo chattr -i /path/to/a.gz
If you have sudo access (or straight root access, in which case
you can su - to root and skip the 'sudo' part of the command), that
will set the file attribute to immutable, which means no one -
including root or the system itself - can modify or delete that file
unless they have the CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE capability (such as root) and
issue the 'chattr -i filename' command.
That's what I wanted. Thanks.
I have full priviledge of the directory.

Hi all!
I'm looking for some piece of code or class which giving a phone number
it returns me from wich country is this phone.
Do you know where I can find something like this?
Thank you in advanced!
As a little project, I took the link provided by "the other" Rob and make
this little search tool.
It only looks at the beginning numbers. It does no number validation. I
don't validate the length of the number. ie: I would have to know the
min/max lenth of each phone number for that given country/region, and I
didn't search for that information.
You can't check for length, that depends on each national administration and
while some countries have all phone numbers exactly the same length, some
other countries do it the old style: small phone exchanges have few digits,
larger have more, which gets compensated by the smaller exchanges having
longer area codes.
The idea is that within small towns, you dial short numbers to reach your
neighbour and, if someone dials from outside the area, they have to dial a
longer area code prefix, but since the town is small, there is a lesser
chance that many people will have any business dialing them anyway so,
overall, you get to dial less. Also, in electromechanical phone exchanges,
each extra digit (actually couple of digits) requires an extra row of
'selectors', which are (were) expensive.
This still happens at the country level, not because it really matters
nowadays but due to the existing technology when it was agreed on it. Large
countries in Latin America have two digit country codes (political
maneuvering at the time of assignment distorted this somewhat, letting Peru
and Cuba get 2 digits which don't fit their actual number of phone lines).
Thus, from 51 to 58 they are assigned to the larger countries. The 59x and
50x ranges (in phone numbering the zero is after the nine within the same
decade) go to countries with less phone lines.

Let me know what you'll think.

Mr. Heyes more or less prompted me to go dig for my other, slightly
heavier version, that doesn't chop words up:
Sorry I hit Reply instead Reply All. Regardless, here's my str_curtail.
There is a bug in it that means if the string is all one word then it
gets curtailed to nada, but that's easily fixed.
/**
* Shortens the given string to the specified number of characters,
* however will never shorten mid-word (going backwards to find white
* space). Appends
* "..." (unless third arg is given).
*
* @param string $str Input to shorten
* @param int $length Length to shorten to (defaults to 35)
* @param string $append String to append (defaults to "...")
* @return string Resulting shortened string
*/
function str_curtail($str, $length = 35, $append = '...')
{
// String short enough already ?
if (strlen($str) <= $length) {
return $str;
}
$str = substr($str, 0, $length);
// No body intentionally
for ($i=$length - 1; !ctype_space($str{$i}) && $i > 0; --$i);
return rtrim(substr($str, 0, $i)) . $append;
}
