[PHP] Caching in php?

(e.g., http://www.aspfaqs.com/aspfaqs/ShowFAQ.asp?FAQID=142). is this possible using php? what can i do to use caching on my website which is totally database driven? thanks/erick __ Do You Yahoo!?

[PHP] regexp question - extracting wanted ascii characters only?
Hi, I need to do a simple thing. I want to read a binary file (e.g., microsoft word, excel etc) and then extract only the text from it. I am using simple fopen() and fread() and when I print out the contents of the file, it returns me the text but apart from the text, there is some junk which is probably because of the file being binary. Is it possible through the regexp to specify that I only want some of the ASCII characters from the binary stream? Here is the perl equivalent: /([\040-\176\s]{3,})/g I want only those words that are minimum 3 characters and I want the characters to match the ASCII numbers from 40 to 176. Would really appreciate any help Thanks! __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Re: [PHP] login without database
Does this work on Windows machines? WHat is the $PHP_AUTH_USER and where does it come from? What should my access.inc.php look like? I saw the PHP_AUTH_USER on the www.php.net website but looks like it is only possible on PHP module, not pHP CGI? Thanks in advance - "Romeo Manzur" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: require('acces.inc.php'); if ( (!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) || !

Re: [PHP] mail(): \r\n gives extra empty line between each line in Outlook
I am not sure what you want to do, but you could try this: $myText = nl2br($dataFromSubmittedTextBox); Then $myText will have the correct values. Cheers --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Re: [PHP] reading microsoft word, excel, pdf document text
hi david, thanks for the note. ok, here is what i want to do. i want my users to upload WORD, XLS, PPT and PDF files. when they upload, i store these files in the temp directory, grab the text from them, and then put it into my database for later searching. i dont care about the formatting, i only care about the text because i need the keywords later for searching. can i run some sort of a parser on the server side like the wvware.com's word parser and just call it through php? i have not been able to figure out how to do this using php. i would really appreciate any ideas and suggestions! thanks/erick __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [PHP] problem with include/require
Hi Yasuo, Thanks for the reply, but yes I do know that the include_path in php.ini should have the entries. But is this something new? I want to know how to allow including and requiring files just like we used to do in PHP3! For instance, let us say that we have two software programs on the server which are completely unrelated (I use Windows platform, so here it is): c:\apache\htdocs\software1\includes c:\apache\htdocs\software2\includes Now with the latest PHP I have to include both these above paths in my PHP.INI's "include_path" directive. is there a way to avoid this, and only include the "c:\apache\htdocs"? Yes, I know that I can make a common INCLUDES folder, but come on lets be practical. It is a lot cleaner if we can have an include folder INSIDE the software-specific folder. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks/Erick --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

[PHP] problem with include/require
i installed my php on my windows machine using the "php triad" software which i downloaded from www.sourceforge.net. however, now i have a problem with "include" command. for everything i wish to include into my programs, i need to speficy this folder in the "include_path" inside my php.ini. can i change this configuration? for example, lets say i have a directory called: c:/apache/htdocs/phpprograms/ inside this phpprograms, i have the following files: class_include.phpi actual_program.php inside my "actual_program.php", i require the "class_include.phpi", but this gives me a runtime error. i think it must be some configuration problem? i would appreciate if someone can tell me how to do this! cheers/erick --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Re: [PHP] Stripping HTML selectively?
Thanks Brian, I have tried the allowable tags, but I need to remove the ATTRIBUTES of a tag, not the tag itself. STRIP_TAGS totally removes the tag, and ALLOWABLE_TAGS lets the tag be.

[PHP] newbie: xslt help!
hi, i dug around and found that there is something called XSLT and that there are things like coccon etc in java from apache group, and php's own parser (sablotron?) that i can use to transform xml into javascript and html. my problem is that i need to create a xslt parser that i can use both in java and jsp based implementations as well as php based ones. so most likely i should use something that is supported on both platforms. my questions: 1. which parser should i use to achieve this? i would really appreciate any ideas. 2. are there any examples of doing this? i mean converting an xml file into html and javascript at runtime? so that i have just one php script that reads the xml files and draws my pages on my website. 3. does anyone know why php.net chose sablotron for their xslt functions? i am interested in just the reasons that i can bounce off as well. thanks in advance/erick __ Do You Yahoo!?
