[PHP] RE: Clean PHP 5.2.12 Build Core Dumping
I tried adding WITHOUT_X11=yes to /etc/make.conf as well as X11BASE= and X11BASE=, but I still get the same error. Remove them. This makes sure they are not defined, not even empty (as in #define BLA - symbol 'BLA' is defined). Where to go from here? Do I have and old version of something that is causing this? I get this error _right away_ before anything is even built. It seems to be a check by the Makefile at port's top level. Ok... I have no definition for X11BASE anywhere, not in my env, not in my /etc/make.conf, nowhwere... However, it's still complaining about X11BASE being deprecated. I tried just adding WITHOUT_X11=yes in /etc/make, and without it. I even searched all the Makefiles in /usr/ports, and in the /usr/ports/lang/php5 dir to find any reference to X11, or X, or X11BASE, but nada... I don't even know where this error message is being generated from. I can't even do a basic make without it immediately spitting out the error: # make X11BASE is now deprecated. Unset X11BASE in make.conf and try again. *** Error code 1 Stop. Where should I look next? Any help is appreciated.

[PHP] Upgraded PHP now website doesn't work properly?

The main issue I can see is that the single quote string delimiter that
you're using is also being used in the HTML text! Have you considered
using heredoc syntax instead?
echo OUTPUT
your html goes here
OUTPUT;
The only thing to watch out for here is that the OUTPUT; line is all on
it's own, and is preceeded with no whitespace at all. Also, the word
OUTPUT in this example can be whatever you feel like. The main advantage
ti heredoc is that you can use any quote characters you like within the
text and you can output any PHP variables in the text also as if you had
a double quoted string.

Ash

Re: [PHP] Upgraded PHP now website doesn't work properly?
Depending on the latency and bandwidth you could use X11 forwarding (granted the server supports it) so you could use a non-CLI editor. I think joe has some syntax highlighting, but I've never edited PHP files with it. If you are coming from a windows machine, you can use Cygwin or Xming to set up an X server on the box before SSHing to your data center w/X11 forwarding enabled. -Ken Sande Many thanks to everyone! I currently use a mixture of FreeBSD, Linux, and Solaris/OpenSolaris as operating systems so X11 forwarding is not a problem but maybe quite slow considering the distance between me and my data center right now, and also I have only 1Mbps upstream as the data center uses ADSL which is a restriction on my behalf. Am using SFTP to transfer non-html related stuff and using simple nano or copy-paste from the Gnome terminal. Yeah many options available I know and I guess that's what makes things fun :-) Anyway I'm sure I'll work something out, at worst case I could always VPN once I get a Cisco router out here and get an IPsec tunnel going and do things over NFS mount??

[PHP] Formatting Decimals
Hello List. Probably an easy question, but I am not able to format a number to round up from 3 numbers after the decimal to just 2. My code looks like this: $newprice = $.number_format($old_price, 2, ., ,); and this returns $0.109 when I am looking for $0.11. I tried: $newprice = $.round(number_format($old_price, 2, ., ,),2); But no luck. Any help is appreciated.

Re: [PHP] Formatting Decimals
Testing this out a little: matt...@mumin:~$ php -r 'echo \$.number_format(0.109, 2, ., ,).\n;' $0.11 matt...@mumin:~$ php -r 'echo $.number_format(0.109, 2, ., ,).\n;' $0.11 matt...@mumin:~$ php -r 'echo $.number_format(0.109, 2, ., ,).\n;' $0.11 I think the $ should be escaped with a backslash when enclosed within double quotes, but even the second and third tries return the correct result for me. Using PHP 5.2.10. Cheers, Mattias Rick Dwyer wrote: Hello List. Probably an easy question, but I am not able to format a number to round up from 3 numbers after the decimal to just 2. My code looks like this: $newprice = $.number_format($old_price, 2, ., ,); and this returns $0.109 when I am looking for $0.11. I tried: $newprice = $.round(number_format($old_price, 2, ., ,),2); But no luck. Any help is appreciated.

[PHP] stream_socket_client via proxy
Hi all, I am trying to use http://code.google.com/p/xmpphp/ package. It uses stream_socket_client to connect to XMPP servers. I am behind a proxy server so obviously this is not working. Tried proxychains but to no avail. Am I missing something obvious? Kranthi. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Upgraded PHP now website doesn't work properly?
Emacs/xemacs does syntax highlighting too.

I think joe has some syntax highlighting, but I've never edited PHP files with it. If you are coming from a windows machine, you can use Cygwin or Xming to set up an X server on the box before SSHing to your data center w/X11 forwarding enabled. -Ken Sande Many thanks to everyone! I currently use a mixture of FreeBSD, Linux, and Solaris/OpenSolaris as operating systems so X11 forwarding is not a problem but maybe quite slow considering the distance between me and my data center right now, and also I have only 1Mbps upstream as the data center uses ADSL which is a restriction on my behalf. Am using SFTP to transfer non-html related stuff and using simple nano or copy-paste from the Gnome terminal. Yeah many options available I know and I guess that's what makes things fun :-) Anyway I'm sure I'll work something out, at worst case I could always VPN once I get a Cisco router out here and get an IPsec tunnel going and do things over NFS mount??

Typically, you would direct the form back to itself. Then at the top of
the form, you'd put a test to determine if the form has been processed
before or if this is the first time through. Then you make your decision
about missed fields, etc. Like this:
== someform.php ==
?php
if (empty($_POST)) {
load_some_values_or_not();
}
else { // form has entered data
$okay = process_for_errors();
if ($okay) {
store_the_data();
header(Location: success.php);
exit();
}
}
?
HTML crap goes here...
== end of someform.php ==
You'll notice that if there are entry errors, execution falls through.
In that case, you'll need to do something like this for fields:
input type=text name=pizza value=?php echo $_POST['pizza']; ?/
so that the entered data shows up in the fields. First time through, the
value attribute will yield nothing.
