You guys are a hoot.

It's interesting to see how your minds wander about (or aboot).
I used to have a theory that intelligence was inversely proportional to latitude. To prove my point, I would direct people to observe the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where phrases like "Say ya to da UP, eh?" were common.
When confronted with an discerning opinion, I would add even more evidence by telling them to look further north where pronunciation of "about" and "a boot" merged -- and thus that would usually win my argument.
Now, that I am confronted with such a wide latitude (in both meanings) of diverse opinion, I must conclude that intelligence and ignorance are both amply distributed all over the globe irrespective of one's shortcomings in language skills -- thank God. 

Cheers,

tedd

I have a (readable) directory structure like so:

../navigation
    /cats
    /dogs
        /beagles
        /collies
            /some/other/dirs/
    /horses

I need to display those directories in nested html lists (marked up
with css). Using PHP on the above, I'd like to produce the following
HTML:

<ul>
    <li>cats</li>
    <li>dogs
        <ul>
            <li><beagles></li>
            <li><collies>
                <ul><li>some...</li></ul>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>horses</li>
</ul>


--joe:
The html is simple to add, so I'll provide just the basics of placing a directory and it's contents in an array: 

<?php
echo '<pre>';
print_r(recur_dir('.'));
echo '</pre>';
?>


<?php // === functions ==========

function recur_dir($dir)
{
$dirlist = opendir($dir);
while ($file = readdir ($dirlist))
{
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
{
$newpath = $dir.'/'.$file;
$level = explode('/',$newpath);
if (is_dir($newpath))
{
$mod_array[] = array(
'level'=>count($level)-1,
'path'=>$newpath,
'name'=>end($level),
'kind'=>'dir',
'mod_time'=>filemtime($newpath),
'content'=>recur_dir($newpath));
}
else
{

$mod_array[] = array(
'level'=>count($level)-1,
'path'=>$newpath,
'name'=>end($level),
'kind'=>'file',
'mod_time'=>filemtime($newpath),
'size'=>filesize($newpath));
}
}
}
closedir($dirlist);
return $mod_array;
}

hi shahrzad,

do you know what the cmd line functions are to drive the printer? i have no
idea, but i'm willing to bet if you search google, you'll find examples of
how to accomplish this. once you figure this out, implementing in php will
be easy.

Subject: [PHP] Control Over Printer Queue On Windows


Hi all,

I am writing a script to print a few thousand pdf documents and I need
to have some control over the number of jobs that are sent to the
printer queue at time ...

I can not see how to get print queue information eg the number of
jobs pending .. at least my attempts are failing..

any ideas?

Thanks in advance

So set up include_path to have all those directories and call it done.
The problem I see with with this is what if there is are two files of two different types (thus in different directories) which have the same file name? 

Forgive me, I'm just trying to shoot out scenarios.

If you're on mysql you can combine the whole lot and speed up your db by adding in spatial indexes and geo indexes.. very simple in principle, instead of an auto_inc primary key, just have a POINT(x,y) column where x is the id and y is a timestamp - you'll be suprised at the speed (i can easily get sub 0.005sec queries on tables with 60mill+ rows in them using spatial indexes like this, also allows you to easily pick out all rows modified in date range, or all with id between, or mix of both + more with no performance dent as it's always a spatial query on a single binary index. 

just a suggestion, not ultra quick to get going but great once it is

Now that MS and Google have signed up it will soon get a lot bigger.

Have you actually tried looking at Google's API for this? Their API has
all the information you need to do this.
