Really? That along with distributed computing, and parallel computing
were my favourites... and here I am programming for the Web... I guess
it's distributed ;)

Todd and Rob:
I understand.
But, I'm more inclined to agree with Rob, I actually *DO* miss
Algorithms and such. There are great minds out there and it's nice to
be able to touch their genius.
As for favorites, I liked digital filters, FFT, ray theory, computed
surfaces, and all versions of AI. I even developed an algorithm to
explain why migrating birds fly in a V formation. Some exciting Geek
stuff.
But here I sit programming the web and following a client's
instructions "I don't like that 'Buy Button' in blue, make it red." I
feel like a 45 that's being used to swat flies. But hey, we all can't
be born rich and most of us have to work for a living. At least I
have work. :-)

tedd

You only want to sharpen that image if the rest is easy on the eyes too.
Some things are better left grainy.

I find if I read stuff on a black background, I start seeing fuzzy
streaks. I do use a light grey to edit in though.
Be cool to see screenshots of people's set-ups. The light grey is the
only alteration I've ever made from BBedit's default settings.

CTRL+K L, input line number
Also the line the cursor is currently on is displayed at the top right

That physical location on the hard drive just needs to be a
configuration variable for the site. As long as all the servers use the
same physical path, then it's a no brainer.

well, for now, it might look no brainer. but in the future, i can move
the images to another
servers with few changes on dns configurations (i think so)..

the image uploaded, and place it in the directory matching the first
character of the new file name.
Why not use a hash table based upon the name of the file and
distribute files that way?
You don't even need a directory until you actually need one -- then
create one 'on-the-fly' and drop the file into it.
As such, it's easy to find the file again by simply hashing it's name
-- you don't even need to store a path for the file, only the name of
the file.

O/H dg ??????:
Hello,
I'd greatly appreciate some help with some problems I'm hitting.
I have a site set up on a dev server and it works fine.
In transferring it to the clients server, it's getting all weird.
When I first transferred created files, the owner was "joe". And they
worked fine.
When I republished those files using fwrite, the owner changed to
"httpd".
And includes and file_get_contents stopped working.
I tried changing the owner, but couldn't.
I changed include_path.
I turned on error reporting and got:
Warning: include(includes/common.php): failed to open stream:
Inappropriate ioctl for device in
/**/local/home/**/dev.**.net/alb**acl.php on line 5
Warning: file_get_contents(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The
script whose uid/gid is 398/398 is not allowed to access
includes/lyrics_box_scripts.txt owned by uid/gid 191739/191739 in
/**/local/home/**/dev.**.net/alb**acl.php on line 11
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
-dg
I think that a file stores a userid not the user so if for e.g. you have
a user in your system that has id 1001 and you move this file preserving
the rights to another computer the owner will become the user that has
userid 1001 on the new system. In case there no user having the 1001 id
then you will see just 1001 on the ownership when you "ls".
In case you don't preserve the rights of the then I think that the user
that copies/moves the files takes the ownership of the files. Since I
believe that you are a unix user "man cp" on you system to see what is
the switch for preserving rights (it is "-p" on Linux if I recall
correctly) an make sure the same user gets the same id (usually happens
for apache. On the other hand you may just simply change the ownership
recursively like "chmod -R apache:apache <dir>" which is much easier.

Hi..
I recognize that this might be off base!! I've got an apache/vhosts question
that i'm grappling with. I've got a linux/apache system, and I'm trying to
get multiple vhosts to work. If this is an appropriate place, I'll provide
additional information on the issue.
I've looked/researched via the 'net but my issues are still with me!
Thanks

You guess it, this isn't an appropriate place. What pieces are you
struggling with as the Apache documentation works great for this stuff.
I've got 6 hosts on a single server with no issues using the Apache
documentation.

Check the archives and mailing lists at http://httpd.apache.org/.
To give you a pointer, though, you'll need to either do an include
into the httpd.conf file or modify that file itself to include a
NameVirtualHost setting and VirtualHost container. It works fine.
I've worked with servers that have had hundreds of virtual hosts.
The Apache folks are friendly, and don't bite *that* hard....

Hello everybody,
I hope you all have a nice day, mines not that good 'cause i have encountered a
strange problem.
i have a few functions to work with dates. they are all very simple, a few
lines of code.
this first one does just gives you the monday of the current week:
function get_monday($date) {
$input_date = strtotime($date);
$date_array = date_parse(date('r',$input_date));
$get_sunday = 7 - $date_array['relative']['weekday'];
$day_label = date("D, d.m.y",mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m") ,
date("d")+$get_sunday, date("Y")));
$new_day_label = strtotime($day_label);
$monday = date("D, d.m.y",mktime(0, 0, 0,
date("m",$new_day_label) , date("d",$new_day_label)-6,
date("Y",$new_day_label)));
return($monday);
}
now for testing purpose we say today is friday, 11.07.2008, this function
returns correct Mon, 07.07.08.
now the problems lies in the second function or more in strtotime.
this second function just takes the inputed date and does some formating so it
will fit into
the mysql db or query.
function get_mysql_date($date) {
$old_date = strtotime($date);
$new_date = date("Y-m-d",$old_date);
return($new_date);
}
But now the strange thing happening is, this function outputs '2008-07-14'
which is monday of the next week.
now i think the problems lies somewhere in strtotime(), cause if i do this:
$dateForTable = $date_class->get_monday($today);
$dateTest =strtotime($dateForTable);
$dateTest2 =date('r',$yousuck);
it will also output 'Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:07:08 +0200'.
i think strtotime() takes just the first part 'Mon' and looks what date the
next monday is.
i'm realtivly new to php so any help solving this problem will be greatly
appreciated.
thanks alot to all.
greetings from switzerland

I have a question here regarding object orientation in PHP and any other
language.
Let's start with some hypothetical code:
*/
// <--- 1st CLASS
class ParkingLot {
var size; // size in sq feet
var max_number_of_cars; // how many cars there is space for
function __construct($size, $max_cars) {
$this->size = $size; $this->max_number_of_cars = $max_cars;
}
};
cpark = new ParkingLot(50000, 17);
// <--- 2nd CLASS
class ParkingSpace extends ParkingLot {
var ps_ID; // ID of the parking space ( 1 .. max_number_of_cars )
var occupied_by; // ID of the car on the parking space
var st_time; // Unix time stamp set when the car parks
function __construct($car, $id) {
$this->st_time = time();
$this->occupied_by = $car;
$this->ps_ID = $id;
}
};
/*
OK, so i got a parking lot class and its subclass parking space.
Now the question:
I want a list of occupied parking spaces, where do I put that? One might put
it into the ParkingLot Class, but wouldn't that be a recursion (a child
instance in the parent class)?
*/
$occ_parking_spaces = array();
$occ_parking_spaces[] =& new ParkingSpace('Joes Car', 8);
$occ_parking_spaces[] =& new ParkingSpace('My Prshe', 17);
$occ_parking_spaces[] =& new ParkingSpace('Toms Caddy', 4);
/*
After a while a method to print all occupied spaces is necessary. Correct me
if I'm wrong, but I usually add it to the ParkingLot class.
class ParkingLot {
// previous code ...
var $occ_parking_spaces = array();
function print_occ_spaces() {
var_dump($this->occ_parking_spaces)
}
};
What bothers me here is that I'm actually having a list of child classes in
the parent class, is there a better/correct way to do this?
I hope I made myself clear.

Here's the point of your comfusion. ParkingSpace is not really a
ParkingLot is it? I mean you could say a parking lot having a single
parking space qualifies, but not really. I see you problem being similar
to apples versus apple tree. You wouldn't do the following (would you?):
<?php
class AppleTree
{
}
class Apple extends AppleTree
{
}
?>

Object-oriented programming, with it's "class" and "object" approach,
is meant to model real life more closely than functional programming.
In, a "parking space" is physically inside a "parking lot", but a
parking space is not a subclass of a parking lot. It's not a variation
or mini parking lot. It's an entirely different entity. A parking lot
consists of parking spaces, but a parking space is its own thing.
In other words, don't extend ParkingSpace from ParkingLot. They should
be separate classes entirely.
As for the recursion... no, that won't be a problem. Each ParkingSpace
you're instantiating is a separate instance, and won't be related to
the parent ParkingLot in anyway way internally.
<?php
class ParkingSpace {
var $size;
var $num_spaces;
var $spaces = array();
}
class ParkingSpace {
var $ps_ID;
var $occupied_by;
var $st_time;
}
?>
In the above class definition, simply populate the $spaces array with
instances of the ParkingSpace class.

Let's start with some hypothetical code:

function __construct($size, $max_cars) {

var ps_ID; // ID of the parking space ( 1 .. max_number_of_cars )

OK, so i got a parking lot class and its subclass parking space.
Now the question:
I want a list of occupied parking spaces, where do I put that? One
might put
it into the ParkingLot Class, but wouldn't that be a recursion (a
child
instance in the parent class)?
*/
$occ_parking_spaces = array();
$occ_parking_spaces[] =& new ParkingSpace('Joes Car', 8);
$occ_parking_spaces[] =& new ParkingSpace('My Prshe', 17);
$occ_parking_spaces[] =& new ParkingSpace('Toms Caddy', 4);
/*
After a while a method to print all occupied spaces is necessary.
Correct me
if I'm wrong, but I usually add it to the ParkingLot class.
class ParkingLot {
// previous code ...
var $occ_parking_spaces = array();
function print_occ_spaces() {
var_dump($this->occ_parking_spaces)
}
};
What bothers me here is that I'm actually having a list of child
classes in
the parent class, is there a better/correct way to do this?
I hope I made myself clear.

Corrected code example:
(too early in the morning to think)
<?php
class ParkingLot {
var $size;
var $num_spaces;
var $spaces = array();
}
class ParkingSpace {
var $ps_ID;
var $occupied_by;
var $st_time;
}
?>
In the above class definition, simply populate the $spaces array with
instances of the ParkingSpace class.

Thanks,

Alext:
Or you could just:
ob_clean();
include('theNextScript.php');
exit();
The variable in your parent script will be "passed" to the next script.

Ahh, but they are on different webservers....
At the moment, I am just using a query string. How long is the limit of the

That's why I mentioned cURL at the very beginning, if it had to be
done as a POST request.

There is no official limit in the protocol, but you may want to
check out Section 3.2.1 of RFC 2068 for more on that.
The limits are in what the client is capable of sending, and what
the server is capable of receiving. A quick S of TFW should give you
the information you need regarding PHP and the remote server's
configuration.
