Yes, have the form submit to the URL that presented the form. Have THAT
PHP script determine which button was clicked. Then delegate to the
appropriate handler function.

Use something else to pass the data back to the user... popen() comes to
mind or proc_open(). Then disable auto abort on user disconnect via
ignore_user_abort(). Then after sending periodic data chunks, check the
user connection status via connection_aborted(). If your script finds
that the user has aborted, then kill all the processes in the pipeline
from the PHP script before finally aborting the PHP script itself.

hi robert.,,
now you've got me curious..
you state...
-Use something else to pass the data back to the user... popen() comes to
-mind or proc_open(). Then disable auto abort on user disconnect via
-ignore_user_abort(). Then after sending periodic data chunks, check the
-user connection status via connection_aborted(). If your script finds
-that the user has aborted, then kill all the processes in the pipeline

but if the user is using a browser session... which has a web server
connection... are you siggesting that the server app spawns off a child
process via the popen, and that the child somehow connects to the existing
browser session??
walk through the psuedo logic/flow of this if you don't mind.. i must be
missing something..
thanks

The PHP session controls the popen() or proc_open() session. The PHP
session can detect that the user has aborted and then shutdown the
popen() or proc_open() processes.

You can use the linux shell command ps:

hi robert...
i got the popen/php process but i don't see how one can stop a
browser/apache process, and somehow reattach to the browser process.. unless
he's talking about stopping a process within the app's context.. and then

Hi Bruce,
He's spawning child processes to handle the audio changes. These
processes are separate processes from the PHP script being run by the
webserver. However, they are children of the PHP script process since
they have been started by the PHP script via popen() or proc_open(). His
problem is that when the user changes page mid load, or shuts down the
browser, the PHP script (the parent) is killed off by the webserver, but
the child processes, sox and lame, continue to run. This ends up
polluting CPU/memory with useless processes. What he wants is to have
these processes also die. So by using proc_open() he can retrieve the
output from the processes he has started and send that to the connected
browser in chunks, but also detect if the browser has dropped its
connection in which case he can manually kill of the child processes
that aren't being killed automatically. HTH.
Cheers,
Rob.

ASP.NET is not a language. It is more like a framework that can run
multiple languages. It can run VB.NET, C# and even PHP (although it is
not usual).
I am not sure what are the current numbers, but the latest statistics
that I have seen Apache was running on 72% of the Internet Web servers
against only 17% of Microsoft IIS. Although you can run ASP.NET on
Apache via mono, that is unusual.
Also PHP is the most popular Apache extension present in between 40% and
50% of Apache installations. This means that PHP is present in 1/3 of
the Internet Web servers, which represents about half of the PHP market
share.
This article provides more details about PHP market share.
http://www.phpclasses.org/blog/post/95-How-large-is-the-PHP-market.html
As of ASP.NET becoming more popular than PHP, I don't think that even
Microsoft believes that is possible. Actually Microsoft is very
concerned that PHP runs well on Windows and is sponsoring a lot of PHP
activity.
This other article talks about what is Microsoft so interested in PHP now.

I think the two are closer than that. Netcraft has had Apache at
around 45% and Microsoft IIS at around 30% for a couple years now.

PHP is also available on IIS. A slightly better measure *might* be the
approach Dan mentioned a while back where he queried Google to count
the number of pages indexed by suffix. Even so, you know what they say
about statistics....
Will ASP.NET replace PHP? Time will tell. (I doubt it.) At any rate,
I'm not losing any sleep over it.

I'm going to shoot from a (90's?) hip on this one.
Isn't ".NET" the framework, and "<enter_your_language_here>.NET" the language?
ASP.NET uses ASP to access the .NET framework.
VB.NET uses VB to access the .NET framework.
<enter_your_language_here>.NET uses <enter_your_language_here> to
access the .NET framework.
And how _IS_ Mono coming along? Last I checked, 1.x stuff worked on
Linux, but the goodies I wanted were in the 2.x framework.

how do I make a permanent connection to mysql database and what is
difference between mysql_connect() and permanent one?
If I make connections in one file and redirect it to another file do
I keep connection (permanent / standard)?
Do I lose connection only when I type mysql_close (permanent/ standard)?
if I select different database between the php program do I need to do
something extra along mysql_select_db("dbname",$link)?
If I opened db in another php file, where do I get the $link variable
from = mysql_connect (when selecting another database)?

Hi
Anyone know whats the best way to learn PHP? Every time I open an php book
or look the codes online, my mind goes "oh man, So many stuffs to learn and
gets frustrated before i even start" but on the other hand, I don't know why
some how the brain keep on nagging me to learn PHP. I guess what's the fun
way to learn php? Any good books?

I don't think there are any substitutes for good books but
www.phpvideotutorials.com has screencasts. I have really enjoyed them.
There are free ones and paid ones. If funds permit I would recommend the
paid ones, there are hours and hours of them. It does not work out to be
much at all per hour. The free ones are of course the place to start
however.

Start with something small, like maintaining a database of your personal
book collection - and learn to administer a DB (IE MySQL) at the same time.

Do you already code?
If so, just download something you are interested in, maybe WordPress
if you blog, with some plugins as those are most likely easier to read,
and look at the programs and try figuring out why things are working
they way they work.
I can't really remember how I started but I believe it was with
Postnuke a long time ago. I looked at the code, try to help fix bugs.
The best way to learn any language, computer or natural, is not by
sitting down and reading books, it's by actually programming/speaking
the language.

i've often tried to learn a language from a book and always failed. clearly
this works for some folk, never has for me.
i find the initial ramp of the learning curve very hard to take. it's
daunting. but that's always true and anything really worth your time is
going to be difficult.
after doing hello world, think of a simple project of your own to tinker
with as you learn.
that's the generalities. as for php, if you already know a few programming
languages, i think the the manual's chapter called "language reference" is
not a bad place to start. lots of examples. systematic one language feature
at a time. skip stuff that really makes no sense, you can lear those bits
later. you'll forget most of it but you'll know where to find it when you
need it. try things out in your sample project.
once you're programming and getting stuff done, reading other people's code
is great. there's lots available (e.g. in pear). but don't assume it's all a
model for what you should do, it's just examples of what can be done --
good, bad and indifferent.
good luck

Hey,
I would like to know how I can instantiate the types that I get via the
__getTypes() function or know if this is even possible.
I am asking because I have a webservice in which all functions expect an
specific object to be passed to them, rather than a list of arguments.
And I am hoping that I do not have to code all those objects into my PHP
Code, but rather instantiate them kinda from the wsdl!
Here is what I have:
$map = array('Credentials' => 'Credentials', 'GetSourceTextRequest'
=> 'GetSourceTextRequest');
$ws = new SoapClient('http://192.168.0.1:8080/Service?wsdl',
array('classmap' => $map));
$test = new GetSourceTextRequest();
It does not work this way however, I do get a class not found failure.
How can I instantiate an object from SOAP?
__getTypes() gives me something like this:
struct Credentials {
string Password;
string Username;
}
Any hints would be appreciated!
Regards,
Samy

I had to process a file that contains 700,000 lines,
each line contained some data (lets assume each line was like:
name|age|work|lastaccessed
)
age contains the person's age in time() format, how many seconds has past
since he was born.
lastaccessed contains also a time(), with his last access.
work is some text, also is name. )
so I inserted it (with stacked queries),
My question is - lets assume I get a new file, and I need to compare the
changes - how would you suggest me to do it?
Assuming that if the new file has more lines I should insert (and of course
know about it so I can notify the user),
and assuming the new file has less lines - I should delete (and of course
know about it so I can notify the user).
I also don't have the old file.
I have no idea that is fast enough (less then 30 minutes. Insertion took
about 10 minutes).
What's your idea?

i seem to remember a while back, someone saying the entire namespace will
now be passed into the __autoload() function, whereas before it was just the
classname. your autoload logic should be equipped to handle different
classes w/ the same name, in different namespaces.
