Guys, I am personally way out of it. (I haven't had time anything PHP
to even warrant posting the total newbie questions I would have
here... )
but please do one thing:
Be kind to Ashley.
I don't know Ash at all, but as an out-of-it newbie I can say from
reading many posts on this list that she (sorry if you're not female
Ash) always seems courteous, often gives answers that solve the
specific technical issues, often gives answers that help the greener
coder with general understanding on the topic, and offers for free a
lot of her time in a totally unselfish way here. I have no
relationship with her at all, so my only point here is that it doesn't
seem right to do anything weightier than politely disagree with her
(if you do). I mean- speaking harshly to someone who does offer so
much benign and useful help makes us wanna be newbies cringe. I would
be tempted to say the same if someone said harsh things towards you
guys, except that you'd beat me to your own defense. ;-)
-Govinda
Actually I'm a guy, but we can't all be perfect ;)
I really didn't mean to get anyones back up too much. That last reply
was after a hard days work, so I was probably far more harsh than I
should have been. I apologise to both Nathan and Jochem, as I was far
too critical of both their opinions.
actually I didn't have an opinion of my own on this one, merely parroting
nathan ... which is quite funny because normally I'm a completely opinionate
SOB :-P
anyways it seems we're all good ... on to the next holy war ;-)

quite a few sites seem to have a very neat way of implementing this
with (url rewriting?) something like
http://sitename/blog/tags/tag-comes-here/
As for getting those search terms, well a link in a page can
contain GET
values, such as http://www.somedomain.com/blog?tag=search_term .
Alternatively, you could use mod-rewrite to rewrite the URL and
turn the
path into tag variables. This is the same as the above but with the
added benefit that users can type in tags directly more easily, and
there are apparently benefits for SEO with this method as well
(but I'm
not sure how true that is)
it's very true; from the google webmaster guidelines:
If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a "?"
character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls
dynamic
pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters
short and
the number of them few.
previously it was text along the lines of "google doesn't index all
pages with query parameters, so avoid them where possible"
additionally one of the weightier points in categorising pages within
the SERPS is the text in the url (especially if the page is actually
about /the_tag_in_the_url : see http://www.google.com/search?q=tags)
^-- some what
ironic :-)
LOL! Thanks for the outburst of laughter. ;)

So it turns out the problem was inconsistent newlines. An include

Thanks! The worst part was not being able to reproduce the issue. I
found over 12 people with various installs of XP/Outlook 2003 and none
of them had the issue. Kinda weird considering it has the same
version number and such from the X-Mailer/Mime headers. Oh well, yet
another lesson learned. ;)

Check into curl, http://www.php.net/curl -- that should do what you want.

very messy but..
<?php
$concatsites = file_get_contents('http://www.site1.com/');
$concatsites .= file_get_contents('http://www.site2.com/');
$concatsites .= file_get_contents('http://www.site3.com/');
echo $concatsites;
?>
ps:
you will have 3 full html pages concatenated together and echo'd out;
but I guess you could easily extract the <body>'s and show them instead..
not really a commercial solution but suitable for a quick debug
script/view for yourself

I would maybe look into using a standard ini file and then use the
parse_ini_file [1] function to bring it all together again.

Greetings list!
Say I want to copy a jpg from a remote server onto mine, using PHP.
Right now, my script opens a socket to the remote server, and opens the
image file. It copies its contents into a dummy variable, opens a new
file on my server, and dumps the contents of the dummy variable into the
new file.
For reasons I cannot figure out, it is not working the way I want.
Rather than display the image, I get an nothing when opening it in an
image viewer.
Code follows:
------
<?php
$ip = '10.10.10.3';
$port = '80';
$h = @fsockopen($ip, $port, $err, $str, 5);
if ($h)
{
// Get current image
$h = @fsockopen($ip, $port, $err, $str, 5);
$out = "GET /record/current.jpg HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out .= "Host: $ip\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
fputs($h, $out, strlen($out));
$data = '';
while (!feof($h))
{
$data .= fgets($h, 128);
}
fclose($h);
// Store to file
$f = fopen('/path/test.jpg', "wb");
if ($f)
{
fwrite($f, $data, strlen($data));
fclose($f);
}
else
{
die('cannot open file for writing');
}
}
else
{
die('cannot contact server');
}
?>
---------
I have trimmed the code some, and omitted the part where I remove the
HTTP headers and other information I do not need.
Why isn't this working for me?
Thanks in advance,
Jay

You'll have to strip off the HTTP response headers. Have you tried
file_get_contents()? It might work and be a whole lot simpler.

in the response you'll be getting the raw http response (including
headers); so you're saving them as well thus not a valid image file.
can't see why:
$image = file_get_contents('http://10.10.10.3/record/current.jpg');
wouldn't work for you..
regardless though if you are using sockets, be sure to trim of that raw
http response - oh and look out for chunked or encoded file transfer as
well as you'll need to decode etc etc.. (large can of worms - use an
http transport class)

Here's mine:
*Procedural or OOP?*
OOP
*Dev OS*
Windows Server 2003 EE (sadly - I need some win-only tools!)
*Dev PHP Version*
PHP 5.2.5
*Live Server OS*
Ubuntu + Centos
*Live Server PHP Version*
PHP 5.2.x
*Which HTTP Server Software (+version)?*
Apache 2.2 all round
*IDE / Dev Environment*
Eclipse Ganymede with PDT + svn + bugzilla/mylyn
*Preferred Framework(s)?*
sadly/vainly I'm a roll you're own kinda guy, actually only really carry
over a set few classes from project to project!
*Do you Unit Test?*
only on mission critical CLI app's to be honest!
*Most Used Internal PHP Class*
Definitely the DOM API - and always using the pcntl and socket extensions
*Preferred OS CMS*
Wordpress for sheer speed of getting a site up, Drupal 6 for
functionality (but don't actually like it)
*Anything else you use frequently in you're PHP'ing that's worth
mentioning:*
ARC classes from semsol are rather good (RDF+SPARQL for php)
http://arc.semsol.org/
Always using the Yahoo API's and OpenCalais too (and loving apache SOLR)

Yes with phpunit 3.x (Used to use simpletest until I found all of the

Iterator or SimpleXML. Honestly there aren't all that many internal
classes I use. Usually they're light wrappers to make stuff like
working with images, db's, etc easier.

I'm perfectly comfortable with both, but call me old-hat --- I far
prefer procedural.

Loaded question, since - as a small ISP - I generally try to
create an environment that exactly-matches the client's if I can, and
if the project is of a large enough scope to warrant such. Otherwise,
it'll be CentOS or Mandriva most often.
> *Dev PHP Version*
Again, loaded question, for the same reason. Never anything newer
or of a different branch than the client's server though, and always
being sure that the code will be compliant with other (recent)
versions of PHP.
> *Live Server OS*
Generally, I use CentOS5. I've been involved with that project
since 2004, and Mandrake (now Mandriva, of course) since 2002, which
is what I use on the desktop side.
> *Live Server PHP Version*
Usually the latest stable, but depending on the CHANGELOG, I may
delay the installation due to a few important reasons. Namely: level
of activity (traffic) on the server, what would even possibly cease to
Just Work[tm], et cetera.
> *Which HTTP Server Software (+version)?*
I'm still on the path with Apache2 and - in rarer and rarer
occasions - the 1.3 branch. I've used a bunch of other servers, and
recently started playing around with Igor Sysoev's NGINX, but aside
from Apache, the only server I've really stood completely by was a
tiny Windows server written by Mark Thompson at AnalogX. I used to
use it for all of my home-based sites housed on a Win98 box given to
me (including my X10 and speech-over-web development), written in both
Perl and PHP over the years.
> *IDE / Dev Environment*
Vim on CLI. For everything. 'Nuff said.
Yeah, that's how serious I am. 'Nuff said. End transmission.

As I saw other posts, it triggered SVN. I even use it locally. Never
know when you'll do something stupid that doesn't show up for a while
and you need to go back in time.

Primarily OOP, occasionally procedural for some one off quick access
functions. InterJinn will also generate "anonymous" procedural code.

Ubuntu Hardy-- I usually upgrade a couple of months after a new release
comes out and has had a chance to stabilize. Almost everytime I get
caught with some gotcha for my system :)
> *Dev PHP Version*
5.2.6 with occasional reversion to 4.4.9. Sometimes I also download
nightly snapshot.
> *Live Server OS*
Debian Sarge/Etch/Lenny
CentOS 4/5
RHEL3
RH 7.3 (valhalla)
Solaris
> *Live Server PHP Version*
I can't remember them all. Some are strictly based on the distro release
cycle. Some are custom compiled and so usually are the latest version.
> *Which HTTP Server Software (+version)?*
Apache 1.3
Apache 2
Zeus

Several rxvt-unicode terminal windows. JOE for my editor. Opera browser
for primary visual testing. Firefox for stickier testing (Firebug).
Windows via vmware for final cross-browser checks in IE.
> *Preferred Framework(s)?*
Need i say? :)
> *Do you Unit Test?*
No. Clients don't pay me to unit test. I'm not against it, but it hasn't
been an issue for them yet.
> *Most Used Internal PHP Class*
I don't use any internal classes on a regular basis. I think I've only
ever used one... tidy.
> *Preferred OS CMS*
No preference. I'm comfortable in a wide range and quickly pick up on
new codebases when necessary.

Accelerator... I use eAccelerator.

Hey All,
I'm trying to work out how to randomise the order of a bunch of strings I
have. I know how to pick one random string from a bunch of them, but how do
I make sure that everyone is used just once.
Any pointers on how to do that would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Andrew

strip it from the array or copy it to another array and check against that
array before issuing the string
