[OT] gdb and httpd (mod_perl, PHP)
Hi, I have a bit offtopic question: we have a problem enabling the PHP safe mode under Solaris 2.6 even though it works under Linux.

So I have recompiled the httpd like this: cd ~/src/mod_perl-1.24_01/ perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=/home/eedalf/src/apache_1.3.14 \ APACHE_PREFIX=/home/eedalf/apache PREFIX=/home/eedalf \ DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 PERL_DEBUG=1 make make test (worked fine) make install Then I go to: cd ~/apache/bin gdb ./httpd GNU gdb 4.17 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Apache::DBI and deleting temporary tables (Sybase ASE)
Hi, I have read http://perl.apache.org/guide/debug.html#Handling_the_User_pressed_Stop_ but still don't know the best solution for my problem: I would like to port a bigger CGI-script to mod_perl. This script uses DBD::Sybase and creates few temporary tables (#temp1, #temp2) which are filled with some data, manipulated and finally read out with a join. These temporary tables are deleted automatically when the database connection is closed. However if I move from DBI to Apache::DBI, the connection won't be closed and the temporary tables will stay. So what is the best way to handle it? I could add drop table #temp1 drop table #temp2 to the SQL statements of my script, but what happens if the user presses STOP or the script times out? Should I move this SQL-code to $r-register_cleanup()? Isn't it too much for this handler and will it always be executed? Or is it possible to use transactions/$dbh-commit somehow? Also offtopic question: is it possible in Transact-SQL to check if a table #temp1 exists already? Regards Alex

[OT] uploaded files and multi-paged forms
How do you handle uploading files when using multi-paged forms (for example entered text and a picture are previewed before storing into the database and special directory)? Uploaded files can't be passed as hidden fields, right? So do you let your users to upload the same file several times and then delete the temporary files with a cron job? Another annoying thing is, that the file upload field is non-sticky (its value gets cleared - at least in Netscape) and also that the user could upload a different file at the last page of form (okay, I could probably use Digest::HMAC). Sorry for off-topic, but maybe someone has a good solution?
