[PHP] Re: Strange output by phpinfo()
That's the request string of the W32Nimda worm, it has propagated very fast in the Internet. Info and tool for removing it are at: http:[EMAIL PROTECTED] If you are running under an IIS webserver, it could be the server itself that could be infected and sending the request string to itself. The worm sends various strange requests to ALL servers found with port 80 open, including the infected server.

Correct, in part. The last ELSE has a starting {, but no ending }.
It should go before the ? not /html, that would place it outside the PHP

you have to insert endif;
If you think you did it but still have an error, try to count your if

the correct structure would be:

?php
if ( condition ) {

/html
Note that curly braces (expression group) does not need the semicolon after

If the IF, ELSEIF or ELSE constructs just need to execute one line then
html
?php
if (condition)
echo whatever ;

Re: [PHP] The future of PHP
two-cents Almost all modern technologies are the evolution of previous ones: C - C++,Perl, PHP, Python; Basic - QBasic - VBasic/ASP; Even new languages like Rebol are based (in one way or another) to previous languages. Anyone could develop a parser/interpreter for any new language they could devise. Eventually each language develops it's own characteristics. /two-cents Gabe Da Silveira [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Let's not forget the ecosystem in which these different technologies thrive. It's all based on who's paying whom to do what. The reality of the situation is that the people in charge don't know (or care) about all these different technologies. They may make some broad decisions (linux vs win), but you can bet they often rely on individual techies to help guide them to the solution they need. As technology advances, you can bet the divide between management and development will only widen. All that matters now is the end result. With the disparity in developer skill, the difficulty in estimating development time accurately, and the increase in processing power there's a lot of room for developers to make their own decisions. In this kind of environment, there is a lot of room for different programming languages. PHP has the benefits of lightning fast development cycles. Java has the advantage of being a strict, modern, fault-tolerant language that lends itself to well-written code. ASP has advantage of MS 'programming for dummies'-style devlopment tools. Perl has the advantage of its text processing abilities. C has the speed advantage by staying barebones and relatively low level for a verbose language. In order for one of these technologies to die, something has to come along with all the advantages and no new disadvantages. Somehow I don't see this happening to open-source projects like PHP, or MySQL. It's much easier to improve them then to develop something better. I see it much more likely that these projects could fork to encompass different goals.

Some guy on this list asked what a good dynamic web solution is, I immediately chimed in and said PHP was great, free, and on most all linux hosts.

XML is just not so standardized (if in doubt look how IE and Netscape each implement it their way) I consider XML like freestyle HTML. I know this technology has great potential but if developers don't decide on how to standardize it, it could die young. PHP however (as an avid follower) is on a fast track and even Microsoft considers it a strong contender to ASP. However, both PHP and XML technologies are just scripting engines. Products like the Zend engine are just starting to scratch the surface for truly dynamic, cached, real-time web applications. I'm not saying that either PHP or XML (or any other technology that comes along) is going to die or leave the other in the dust but look what has happened with Java, it has certainly lost momentum. -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager - New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Any point in learning ASP/JSP etc?
I have learned (and used) both PHP and ASP. However, when I was beginning with PHP, I always made it first on ASP then re-implemented on PHP. I always found PHP to be easier, shorter (but more powerful) logic (scripts are shorter than ASP). I guess it has served me well, I have learned to do it the HARD way and then learn to do it easier and in a short time with PHP. I guess it is the experience you have with programming: all the tinkering, discoveries of unusual command and function behaviors (c'mon we ALL have been tru this!), OS and web server particularities, etc. That's the kind of background any employer would like to know and I have to agree with John in that point. I specialize in PHP and MySQL on Windows NT/2K with IIS/Apache. I know it's impossible to be good in everything, but at least knowing a good piece from each is not bad either. For example, you don't have to be Picasso to paint a house! I have to admit, that not all people have the *aptitude* to do this type of work, that's what makes the difference between exceptional individuals and plain Joes. I can't judge myself on what type I am, or believe that I'm something I may not be, that's a judgement others have to take about me. I just do my best to be on the exceptionals list. my 2 cents.

Re: [PHP] Re: force download in IE -- conclusion
Not necessarily an answer but on my work (a computer center for medical students) we use a propietary Perl web-based course software and when doing attachments on email messages on the system's bulletin board, the system sends a header with appplication/octet-stream and IE 5.5 attaches the .html extension to some downloads (not all). It is a known IE 5.5 bug, the only way we have done to try to circumvent it (doesn't work everytime) is to use the Save Link As feature, and sometimes that does the trick. IE 5.5 is buggy.

I didn't cover all of the platforms available, just those that my user-base uses, so this isn't complete. combinations tested was IE5.5, NN4, NN6 for Windows 98 and IE5.5, NN4.7 for Mac 9.1. I tested all of these browsers using/not using 'attachment' in the Content-Disposition header. and also changed out the Content-Type header with 'application/octet-stream', 'application/download', and '*/*'. Here's the summary and what I did to make things work as well as possible. My goal is to prompt the user with a save-as dialog for an mp3 file. IE5.5 for Mac always uses the quicktime plugin to play the file no matter what the disposition or type is. (also no matter what the file extension is. Couldn't figure out how to trick it to download the file.) IE5.5 for Win98 would attempt to download the file if (content-disposition: attachment; filename=) attachment was there. All 3 of the Win98 browsers would do prompt with as few clicks as possible when content-type was application/octet-stream. Therefore, I test in my script for the Mac users and give them Content-type: application/downlaod while I give other users Content-Type: application/octet-stream. Of course, this doesn't help the IE5.5 Mac users who still have to use Downlaod Link to Disk routine to get a save-as prompt. Anyone who sees different ways this could be done, please respond. Here's my code: if (eregi(mac,$HTTP_USER_AGENT)) $type = application/download; else $type = application/octet-stream; // stream file to user header(Content-Type: $type); header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename); header(Content-Length: .filesize($tmp_file)); header(Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary); readfile($tmp_file); -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] Re: [PHP-WIN] Installation failed ! Please Help!
I've had PHP 3 to 4.01 and now 4.06 running under NT4 SP6a and now with W2K IIS 5. From my experience, the %s %s is a requirement of IIS (not PHP). This according to Microsoft rules (apparently %s %s is CASE SENSITIVE): http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q245/2/25.ASP The %s %s has to do with script mappings within IIS. The closest i've found to an explanation is: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q190/0/11.asp apparently the %s %s are not necessary for ISAPI extensions, as seen at: http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/prodtechnol/iis/deploy/confeat/cgiis4.asp I believe that IIS passes the script name to php.exe with the first %s. I think IIS replaces the first %s with the script name. From the second article, I suppose that if the %s is changed to %S, the name passed to php.exe would be UPPERCASE. Can anyone verify this? Apparently, the second %s is used by IIS to pass any additional parameters to the script. Like running php.exe from the command line, that would be php script1.php parameters. I think IIS requires the %s's to emulate that behavior. I know that PHP runs fine without these, but I haven't verified if the filename of the script passed to php.exe is upper or lower case when the %s %s is dropped. I'll have to do some testing and post the results here. Another MS page worth looking at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/iis/deploy/depovg/miglamp.asp Who on his sane mind would drop Linux in favor of Win2K and IIS5 (with all the bugs it has, and those yet to be discovered)? http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/iis/deploy/depovg/lintowin.asp Phil Driscoll [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
