My favorite response is when Dan jumps in and reminds that this list's rules
are not open to debate or opinion (in the sense that the opinions do not affect
the rules). On this topic the rule of this list is "do not top post". It
anyone top posts they are ignorant of the rules, or choosing to ignore them.

Have you checked your apache settings for generating error pages? How is it
configured to handle 500 errors?

AllowOverride None
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

#
ErrorDocument 403 /errorpage/403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errorpage/404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /errorpage/500.html
thanks a lot

If you looked well enough, you'd not only see how to do it, but
also that top-posting is against the mailing list rules. ;-P
Go to http://php.net/mailinglists and select the PHP General User
List as "Normal" and scroll to the bottom. Enter your email address,
and click Unsubscribe, then verify your unsubscription request. Then,
select the "Digest" option, add your email address again (if
necessary), and click the Subscribe button. Verify your email
address, and voila! You should be good to go.

Yes I did. Perhaps you can show me the bit that I have missed that tells
me where I change my settings from receiving individual messages to
receiving a digest format, rather than just sending out these links to
something I have already said I looked at.
[/snip]
1. Look next to the list you wish to receive the digest (php-general)
from and you will find 2 radio selectors.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and enter your email address.
3. Click subscribe.
Now you must unsubscribe from the full version of the list. In order to
do that you must click the following link and, read and follow the
instructions.

The real shame was that he was still top-posting even after Dan picked
him up on it, and after he was complaining so much about the thread
which was mainly about the whole top-posting issue!

I want to build a web page for file auto download like cnet.download.
A page that tells user "Your download will begin in a moment..." and
after a few seconds download starts.
How can I do that by php
thanks for any help.

it's made in JavaScript, by creating an iframe loading the file, but their
downloader might use something like a php file to force download such as
<?php
$filePath='/var/wwwblablah.zip';
header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="azipfile.zip"');
readfile($filePath);

Hi
thanks for your help jean
I've used this code before. But I want a little different thing.
I need to tell something to the user before starting download.
something like "Your download will begin in a moment..." . So header
couldn't help me. If I try to echo anything header doesn't work!

That's why Jean mentioned the use of Javascript and an Iframe. You have
the iframe point to your PHP script, and the rest of the page is what
you use for your message, etc. The Iframe can be hidden with CSS, and it
will still issue the call to download the file.

gosh, I should have read before answering for the downloader thing.
BUT you actually need javascript if you want to do it.
You create an hidden iframe somewhere on your page, you give him the url of
your file and pop it is downloaded, and you need simply to use javascript
function setInterval to do that after a couple of seconds!

You do not need javascript to do this, or an iframe. Use a meta refresh tag.

Sometimes I miss the way the web was before javascript :/

Couldn't you just do an HTML redirect?
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>File Download</title>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH"
content="10;url=http://www.example.net/download";></HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>Your download will start in a few seconds.</P>
<P>If your download fails to start automatically,
<A HREF="http://www.example.net/download";>click here</A>.</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Of course, this is the resulting HTML you want to produce (or something
like it). You'll obviously get PHP to echo the appropriate URL.
This approach has the benefit that it'll work on anything. My prefered
browser does not support javascript, so you look me out of your site if
you use it.

I'd like to see a patch against the core, or perhaps a PECL
module, that allows the use of explode() with empty parameters, which
will then cause the physical machine on which the code is hosted to
detonate itself. Unfortunately, it's unlikely we'll see that in the
5.3 branch.

Why not do it the other way around...

$alphabet=join($alphabet_array);
