I found Python to be a > great language to learn OOP, since it forces good habits on you. C++ is a very large unwieldly language - it has too many constructs and too much syntax. Experience has chown that smaller simpler languages are easier to learn and apply than larger ones. This is why C is still the language of choice for a lot of systems coding (among other reasons). While purists will no doubt damn me to hell, I know a lot of people would put C++ at the bottom of their list of OOP coding languages of choice. -- Aj. Sys.

You can use various functions to get the font metrics and see if they fit in your image - if not, you can decrease the size and try again. If you write it as a loop with a flag, you can have it automatically size the text to the bounding box. Its not as hard as it sounds... -- Aj. Sys.

Of course it is possible to do it that way (in which case, you can probably look at how phpBB does it). The only problem with this is if the script takes too long to execute (rare, but possible) in which case your browser could timeout. -- Aj. Sys.

Yes, you need to add index.php to the DirectoryIndex configuration directive in Apche's httpd.conf file. -- Aj. Sys.

Assuming, your Apache is configured to load the php module: Your Apache is not configured to handle .php files. You need to add directives in httpd.conf for PHP files.

Your basic problem is there - you have a catchall. This is like having a "bury-me-spam-free-n-easy" card. I say grab the bull by the horns: make a list of all possible email addresses and set them up, then remove the catchall. Worst-case is that you miss a few here and there and have to re-create them as aliases. -- Aj. Sys.

Basically RSS is just an XML file that you can retrieve from a site using HTTP. Sites that make feeds available generally have a link to them somewhere on the site. In the case of Slashdot, the link is at the bottom of their home page and is labelled "rss". Im assuming you have some code to parse the XML...? -- Aj. Sys.

I have done this in JavaScript - but I dont have any code handy. Basically you will need to pre-generate a series of JavaScript arrays for each category of product at the top of the web page. Then you have a JavaScript event handler in the category pulldown that changes the product pulldown to a different array whenever the category changes (use something like onClick or onChange or a similar relevant event). Works pretty well - I once worked on a project which pulled data from Access via ODBC (I was coding in ASP - bleh! Never again... ;-) and generated the web page with the arrays and JavaScript functions at the top to handle the switching of the pulldowns. -- Aj. Sys.

I tend to use an internationalized format for all phone numbers, such as: +CCC (NP)AAAXXX where: CCC = country code (i.e. 44 for UK, 39 for Italy, etc) NP = optional national prefix (e.g. in the US this is 1) AAA = area code (212 for New York, 6 for Rome, etc) XXX = actual phone number -- Aj.

As an administrator with 15 years experience of Unix, I think I understand this! ;-) Anyway, I solved my problem - I just needed to tweak open_base_dir in php.ini. -- Aj. Sys.

Yes I know - I didn't write this code and dont really want to mess with it. However, I managed to get this working now - I realized that open_base_dir needs to have /tmp added to the list of permissable directories.

Or are you talking about http://www.php.net/copy ? You're right - I changed the function to move_uploaded_file() which still doesn't work either.

[PHP] copy_file() files
I recently upgraded PHP and now have two sites that use copy_file() that no longer work. I have safe_mode=Off in my php.ini. Also, the files and directories Furthermore, the file and directories Im trying to copy files to are owned by user nobody and group nobody (My Apache server runs as user nobody in group nobody). Im assuming its some permissions problem. If I continuously list files in /tmp, I see the uploaded file appear but then the copy_file() fails and the temp file disappears. Any ideas? -- Aj. Sys.
