The problems with the above two options (I have found no other options so far) are that, for the former, the system php.ini file is not read so the per-site php.ini file(s) have to duplicate most if not all of what's in the system php.ini file; this is for each WP site (if not a WP Net (AKA WPMU) install); and for the latter, -any-and-every- subdir in the WP dir hier that has code that may reference the PHP session must have its own php.ini file in it. Either way it becomes a significant maintenance problem, especially once there are more than one or two such sites. I have not been able to find much documentation on this, either in the PHP site or in the various help forums. I've searched quite extensively and have run some tests of my own using phpinfo.php to see how things are set. I do not desire to open up file permissions to bypass this PHP settings issue altogether due to security concerns (though I do wish an answer could be so simple). What's canonical in such a case? If nothing, are there any other alternatives? My desired solution would be to be able to put one php.ini (or equivalent) file per site that would contain the needed directive which would be merged with the settings from the system php.ini, overriding only the session.save_path, but, AFAICT, PHP does not seem to allow this. Any other ideas? Thanks! --Phil Hi, You can add php.ini variables to the Apache Virtual Host section for each site, for example: php_admin_value session.save_path /path/to/new/session/folder [http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php] This will override the save path for each site you add it to, but all other values will be picked up from the system default. You must make sure the Apache user has write access to the new folder. Regards Ian -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thus it will create a new instance over and over again for every time the new request is made. The equivalent to won't let you duplicate function names is won't let you duplicate class names.

Hi,
So I have this strange situation where I assign a classvariable a

That is a private instance variable NOT a class variable.
To declare a class variable you would do the following:
?php

In a method of this class I assign this classvariable plus an
undeclared classvariable and a local variable the value 1:

This happens periodically on a busy webserver. It seems that when it
happens, all classvariables cannot be read anymore (return NULL).
After restarting Apache it does not happen anymore, just to happen
again after some minutes.

hi, i have a very annoying problem with unlink() i use win7 and wamp server (apache 2.2.22 php 5.4.3) when i try to use unlink: SCREAM: Error suppression ignored for Warning: unlink(aaa/bbb.ccc): Permission denied in C:\wamp\www\ddd\index.php on line /34/ neither the folder, nor the files are read-only. i give every user on win, all the permissions on folders files. i look on google for same error, but nothing useful. some says 'you need to give PHP delete permission' but didnt say how. i run wamp with Run as Administrator. by the way, php can write, create (copy(),file_put_contents(),move_uploaded_file(),mkdir()) files or folders. there is no problem with it and there is no problem with deleting (rmdir) folders too. but there is problem when it comes to the deleting files. i really need some suggestions about how to solve this, its really annoying and i dont want to throw my pc to the wall or punch it on the screen.

Put php.ini files with the session.save_path directive within the WP dir hier. The problems with the above two options (I have found no other options so far) are that, for the former, the system php.ini file is not read so the per-site php.ini file(s) have to duplicate most if not all of what's in the system php.ini file; this is for each WP site (if not a WP Net (AKA WPMU) install); and for the latter, -any-and-every- subdir in the WP dir hier that has code that may reference the PHP session must have its own php.ini file in it. Either way it becomes a significant maintenance problem, especially once there are more than one or two such sites. I have not been able to find much documentation on this, either in the PHP site or in the various help forums. I've searched quite extensively and have run some tests of my own using phpinfo.php to see how things are set. I do not desire to open up file permissions to bypass this PHP settings issue altogether due to security concerns (though I do wish an answer could be so simple). What's canonical in such a case? If nothing, are there any other alternatives? My desired solution would be to be able to put one php.ini (or equivalent) file per site that would contain the needed directive which would be merged with the settings from the system php.ini, overriding only the session.save_path, but, AFAICT, PHP does not seem to allow this. Any other ideas? Thanks! --Phil Hi, You can add php.ini variables to the Apache Virtual Host section for each site, for example: php_admin_value session.save_path /path/to/new/session/folder [http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php] This will override the save path for each site you add it to, but all other values will be picked up from the system default. You must make sure the Apache user has write access to the new folder. Regards Ian -- Thanks, Ian, for the suggestion. I had tried that without success and had neglected to mention that in my post. The reason that it doesn't work, AFAICT, is that, since suPHP runs PHP as CGI and not DSO, the Apache directives are not available to it. Any other ideas? I'd especially like to better understand how PHP handles php.ini files and any rationale behind the way it handles them.

[PHP] WebCodeSniffer : a web interface for PHP_CodeSniffer
Hi I'm developing the WAMP server EasyPHP (www.easyphp.org) and I'm using PHP_CodeSniffer since a while. A lot of users of EasyPHP are confused when it comes to use a program with CLI like PHP_CodeSniffer. Besides, we always try to promote good practices and coding standards. So, I've developed a web interface for PHP_CodeSniffer : WebCodeSniffer (no need to install PEAR nor use CLI). Once copied at the root of a domain or in a folder, this interface allows you to navigate through the directories and to select a file to sniff. You just need to select the standard and click on 'sniff'. This first release is very basic and more features will be included soon. Eleven standards are available so far : PHPCS, PEAR, Squiz, Zend, PSR1, PSR2, Generic, MySource, Joomla, Drupal, CakePHP. You can find WebCodeSniffer here : www.webcodesniffer.net Current version : WebCodeSniffer 0.2 Hope this will help you guys Regards -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
