RE: [PHP] Handling sessions between servers?
You can use NFS shares, but I've read that it is too slow for most situations. My suggestion would be to use a database and use a custom PHP session handler. A really good tutorial (including working code) on how to write custom PHP session handlers utilizing a database can be found at the following URL: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/ying2602.php3 I've tested this code and it worked fine utilzing MySQL.

RE: [PHP] PHP on Win NT , IIS
What web server is better on NT with PHP? I'm sure everyone has their own opinion, but if you're using NT, then you're probably just as well using IIS until Apache 2.0 has a final release out. What PHP installation mode performs better i.e. CGI, SAPI Module , build or not build etc ? SAPI modules are going to typically be faster, but you don't want to use ISAPI on IIS/NT due to stability issues. Setup PHP as a CGI with IIS. What 'S' in SAPI? Any suggestions on PHP configuration for Oracle, IIS, and LDAP? Server API I believe. Also I am planning to use PHP scripts to run some jobs from scheduler. Is it a bad idea? If not what need to be considered while installing PHP. It's not a bad idea. You just have to have PHP installed, which you will with your setup anyway. Josh Hoover KnowledgeStorm, Inc.

if(mysql_error())

RE: [PHP] Getting extensions to load in Win32
Michael, First, try running php.exe from the command line. When you do that, it will probably give you a message about not being able to find certain dll's it needs. I believe most, if not all, of the dlls you need are in your PHP directory under a dll directory. The best thing to do is to add this path (PHP_DIRECTOR\dlls\) to the System path. You may have to restart to get this new entry to be recognized. Once you do that, run php.exe on the command line again and see if it still gives you errors.

RE: [PHP] Are calling COM applications a trojan?
And, I read a book saying that you can open a word document on the client
side and insert words in it.
Are you sure this was done on the client side and not on the server side?
Here is a common example used to show a simple use of COM and PHP:
$word=new COM("word.application") or die("Cannot start word for you");
print "Loaded word version ($word-Version)\n";
$word-visible =1 ;
$word-Documents-Add();
$word-Selection-Typetext("Dit is een test");
$word-Documents[1]-SaveAs("burb ofzo.doc");
$word-Quit();
This does not work on the client. PHP is on the server side. COM is used
to access local objects, not remote ones. So, in the example, PHP is using
word on the server and opening a document and saving it on the server. This
has nothing to do with a client. The use of COM and PHP would mainly be for
PHP to access COM objects that a business has currently in other
applications. Many times it would be nice for PHP to utilize objects
already written, and in the Windows world right now those objects are
normally accessible via COM if they're accessible at all.

while(list($name,$value)=each($HTTP_POST_VARS))

Does anyone know of a way to validate an e-mail address that
was entered
and submitted from a form? I would like to trap invalid syntax.
Perhaps there exists a script that does just that?
I assume valid syntax is the following:
One or more characters before the @ sign, followed by an optional '[',
then any number of letters, numbers, dashes or periods
(valid domain/IP
characters) ending in a period and then 2 or 3 letters (for domain
suffixes) or 1 to 3 numbers (for IP addresses). An ending bracket is
also allowed as it is valid syntax to have an email address like:
user@[255.255.255.0].
