having gone through configure and compile hell getting php built on Mac OS X
Leopard I have
become a little more familiar with the intricasies of compiling software ...
undoubtly I
still have a heap to learn.
to that end I was hoping someone could shed some light on the following queries
1. what exactly do --with-libdir and --disable-rpath do and how/when should
they be used?
2. php's configure says it does not support --disable-dependency-tracking but
apparently
it's a general configure option that is 'always' available .. is this true? and
what is it
for? (the entropy.ch php5.2.5.release1 tarball contains a php binary which says
that this
option was used in it's configure line)
3. how does one build a 64bit version of php? (or better yet a [Mac OS X]
universal binary)
4. do I need to care about building shared extensions
(--with-foobar=shared,/usr/local/foobar/),
whats the point unless your release the build for other people to use?

Hi,
I'm trying to write the following program:
A browser connects to an apache web-server where a PHP application is
running. Most of the actions of the application are Mysql database actions.
There are however also actions that needs to be done on the client side
but that are not possible inside a browser (output to a display on a
serial connection, printing to multiple printers...). For these actions
I wrote a .NET program that is running on the client side and makes a
TCP connection to a PHP server that is running on the same server as the
webserver.
This PHP server is a multithreaded server that spawns child threads.
Every connection from every user is handled by a seperate child thread.
So, on the client side, I have a .NET program with a persistent
connection to the PHP server and a browser connecting to apache that
runs a PHP application.
If the user chooses to perform an action that needs to be done on the
client side (let's say output data to a serial connection), the
webserver needs to tell the PHP server to send data to the clients .NET
program (who will makes the final serial connection).
The problems I have with this setup are:
1) How does my PHP application finds out what thread is handling the TCP
connection according to the user who is logged in into the application?
2) What is the best way to send a command to this thread? Shared Memory?
Socket Pairs? Named Pipes?
3) Has anyone already made a similar setup or does anyone has good
documentation about interprocess communication?
thx
Christophe

It's not supposed to be practical, it's just a way to handle errors. You
shouldn't rely on try/catch for algorithm implementation.
You create exceptions for errors and unexpected behavior. Then in some other
part of the system you use try/catch to prevent the code from terminating
abruptly. You catch the exception (you should know which exceptions can be
thrown), and act accordingly. Either closing resources, add a log message
with debug information, and/or sending an error message to the user.

[PHP] Re: Try{} Catch()
Try{} catch{} makes more sense when your application is Object Oriented
and you use the MVC model.
Your library performs some actions but when an error occures, it can't
write directly to your browser.
Your modules speak with your library and checks if an error occures.. If
so a decent error message can be shown...

[PHP] Asynchronous socket connection timing issue.
Hello everyone here. This is my first post in this newsgroup, I hope I won't be to much off-topic. Feel free to redirect me to any better group. I am getting strange timing issues when failing to asynchronously connect sockets on closed or filtered ports, but I'm quite unsure if this is a PHP issue or my misunderstanding, as it seems that socket streams only wrap around sys/socket.h. I'm running the latest 5.2.5.5 Windows PHP build downloaded yesterday, running from the command line without any configuration changed from default. My code is at http://rafb.net/p/DEwN8J71.html with results at http://rafb.net/p/cnB4dC80.html Connecting to an open port seems consistent between synchronous and asynchronous sockets. Opening the socket is instantaneous, connection establishes in 0.17 seconds, and closing is fast. Connecting to a filtered port ends up with a socket timeout, but asynchronous socket closing blocks for 0.5 second which is quite huge. No network transfer was captured by Wireshark apart from the initial SYN packet. Connecting to a closed port with a synchronous socket times out, with several retries being sent after the server explicitly refused the connection with a RST ACK. Why doesn't it simply break after the first try ? Connecting to a closed port with an asynchronous socket takes the time of a single try, marking the stream as having had an except in stream_select after RST ACK was received. But here again, fclose()-ing the resource hangs for 0.5 second. Why is that an explicitly refused synchronous connection retries until timeout ? Why doesn't it cancel instantaneously ? Why is that closing a failed asynchronous socket takes so much time ? It is really losing a lot of asynchronous' interest if it hangs that long ? Note that if I don't explicitly fclose() the resources of failed asynchronous sockets, the same 0.5 seconds lag appears at the end of the script execution for each one. I guess PHP cleanly frees resources at shutdown, but it can reach several seconds when several sockets have failed. Is there another way than fclose() to clear asynchronous sockets ?

use it just like in JAVA, It offers a uniform/good way to manage exception

e.g.
function getObjFromDB($key)
{
if (strlen($key)!=0 )
throw new Exception (need condition .);
if (!mysql_connect(...))
throw new Exception (can't connect to db .);
.
}
function foo ()
{
$err='';
for (...)
{
try
{
getObjFromDB('');
}
catch (Exception $e) // if you throw a exception but didn't catch it , the
PHP app will stop and not prompt any error message.
{
echo $e; //output the error message.
$err .= $e;
}
}
echo done , total message : {$err};

Re: [PHP] Sending SMS via PHP
Hi Bastien, I have actually implemented sending SMS using PHP by installing NOW SMS gateway. You can find all the information regarding it on www.nowsms.com. They have a software that you can buy and configure on your server. I wrote scripts that can help sending single SMS, BULK SMS, User Defined SMS etc. I also configured using PHP in a way to receive SMS to the web server and store it in the database. Its really exciting when you start working on this because you will be basically using SOAP and SMPP protocol to achieve this. Once you install trial Version mail me back so that I can help you with PHP Scripts that can actually allow you to SEND SMS. 160 characters are allowed per SMS and you also need connection to the SMS gateway in your country.
