Hi Adrian
I looked at the discussion goin on located at sourceforge. But then i m
still not able to make up my mind whether to use it or not in my production
server. What do u suggest? Is there any problem with the current version of
MMcache? Please suggest me.
Thanks

Why not? There's nothing to stop you. The code still works, even though
development has been (hopefully) temporarily suspended.

As far as I can tell there are no problems using it (at the moment) on a
production server. We use it on ours with great benefits. The issue is
whether the project continues and the best way to ensure it does, is
ultimately to get involved - this is an open source project after all!

Hi
True that there are countless thousands of projets at sourceforge that
can be called dead. But these are mostly projects that never had many
downloads even at the peak. or the platforms they ran on are no longer
popular etc. Thankfully the same cannot be said of MMCache.

If you read the forums located here:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=69426 you will see that there is
much discussion on this topic. At this moment it looks like some people
have said they will help with the continuing development, so there is
hope for it yet. It is a fantastic cache and deserves to continue.

say this:
$menu = array (
'link1' => array(
'url' => 'foo',
'title' => 'bar'
),
'link2' => array(
'url' => 'foo',
'title' => 'bar'
)
);
were to dynamically change to this:
$menu = array (
'link1' => array(
'url' => 'foo',
'title' => 'bar'
'style' => 'dolor'
),
'link2' => array(
'url' => 'foo',
'title' => 'bar'
'style' => 'amet'
)
);
I'm stretching here, have no practical use for it, and can think of much
better ways to handle it but am still curious. Obviously you need to
traverse the inner array which is not an issue, but I get stumped with
trying to format it as in the previous examples.

If you have an array like this (change the url to href):
$menu = array (
'link1' => array(
'url' => 'foo',
'title' => 'bar'
'style' => 'dolor'
),
'link2' => array(
'url' => 'foo',
'title' => 'bar'
'style' => 'amet'
)
);
Then something like this, or the general idea should work:
$menu = array (
'link1' => array(
'href' => 'foo',
'title' => 'bar',
'style' => 'dolor'
),
'link2' => array(
'href' => 'foo',
'title' => 'bar',
'style' => 'amet'
)
);
foreach ($menu as $array) {
$tag = "<a";
foreach ($array as $k => $v) {
$tag .= " $k=\"$v\"";
}
$tag .= ">$menu</a>\n";
echo $tag;
}
There are better ways to do it I'm sure, but this is just following the
previous example.

Hi all..
I have in my database the fields :"CourseTitle, Language1, Language2, Language3, Language4, Language5, Language6...Etc.."
Now what I want to make is : By using an ActiveX Control I want to retrive the values for these fields from the database.. so for example there are many rows there(In the database).. :
MS Word XP English French Arabic....
MS PowerPoint XP Chinese French Arabic.....Etc
MS Access XP Chinese Japanese English.....Etc
I want to retrive these rows and put them in two combo boxes (CourseTitle and CourseLanguage).. the CourseTitle combo box contains the "CourseTitle values from the database. For example : MS Word XP, MS PowerPoint XP, MS Access XP...Etc " and the CourseLanguage combo box contains the "CourseLanguage values from the database for every CourseTitle. For example : MS Word XP has Englsih,French and Arabic languages.. so if the user chose MS Word XP then the CourseLanguage will show the languages for that Course.."
I hope you got my meaning..
So what I want is to import from the database then split these info into items inside the Combo box..
Best Regards..

Yes when I checked out the manual page for eval() it did occur to me that it
did open up significant potential for abuse. As it happens I am passing
user supplied values into these variables, but I validate all my input
anyway to prevent people from modifying my queries etc.. I have observed
that PHP doesn't seem to be very naturally defensive but I guess no Server
Side scripting language is, except maybe JSP.
Cheers,

I'd say that any time you have an application written for some specific
industry or audience, there's a good chance people will be uploading
assets with similar names -- we did one for an automotive company's design
department, and there were a lot of instances of people posting many
images named "headlights.jpg", for example. The application was visual,
the frontend was flash, and they were more interested in the image than
the filename.
I used microtime() to differentiate them, but in retrospect it should have
been a no-brainer to use the database primary id to help differentiate
these, since the DB already did all the heavy lifting involved in ensuring
uniqueness.

Even though it seems incredibly unlikely, isn't is safer to just not
worry about it and use unique ids instead? Why take the risk when you
can use an autonumber from a database or md5(uniqid(rand(), true)), or
even: time() . md5(uniqid(rand(), true)) if you want to be really
paranoid?

Normally I wouldn't do this but the cURL list seems to be in severe
hibernation, ie. no activity. I'm in a bit of a jam w/ this and so here
goes....
How do I get cURL to pass headers properly? It is ignoring my -H
headers and sending its own default or whatever set of headers. One
example, it submits as x-www-urlencoded-form or whatever but I want it
to just send -H "my headers!". Can anyone point me in the right
direction? I know I probably just need to change something simple
here.. see below:
<?
$mime_headers="POST /AUTHORIZE HTTP/1.0\nMIME-Version:
1.0\nContent-type: application/X1";
$xml_content="{some XML - use your imagination here}";
exec("/usr/local/bin/curl -m 120 -H \"$mime_headers\" -d \"$xml_content\"
$merchant_URL:$merchant_PORT -L", $return_message_array, $return_number);
?>
You do not need to call cURL external program to send an HTTP request.
You can use fsockopen connections.
You may want to try this HTTP client class. It actually uses curl
extension but only for secure connections (SSL/HTTPS). For normal HTTP
connections it uses fsockopen. It can send POST requests including those
tha need to send XML data like SOAP requests. So you can do what you
want with this class:

Hello,
I have a page where users can enter in information about themselves... I
want it to maintain its format instead of all running together, that is,
when they enter a space the space is maintained via MySQL and displayed in
their webpage (instead of having to ask them to type <P>)....
is this possible?
