Re: [PHP] Very Basic question: What IDE/tools I need to begin using PHP?

2005-07-26 Thread Jeffrey D. Means
To expand a little: Zend Client is super for debugging on a localhost
but if you want a team of developers to have debug / profile tools then
Zend Studio Server is the tool.  I would suggest that you apply for the
Zend Small Business program if these tools meet your needs for one low
yearly price you get both plus the encoder and the server module to
handle deployments, or testing...  I hope this is helpful.

Ever since discovering the [require|include]_once I have wondered how I
managed before...

[PHP] RE: [users@httpd] RE: Can't POST over 500K

2003-08-24 Thread Jeffrey D. Means
This is not an apache proble it is a problem with your php.ini file.  In
this file there is a line that specifies how large of POST data can be
received, the default is 500k.  If you are running apache 2.0 there is
an additional place where this might be being defined.  You can find
this file in the conf.d directory where your config files for apache
live mine is /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf  I hope this helps.

It really seems like apache isn't letting me post over 500kb. Here is
the sample code I used to test this problem independantly from the
bulletin board software:

  
 
 
  

I may have to break down and send this in chunks, but it really seems
that shouldn't be required. As for my phpinfo() response, it list 20M
which is what is in php.ini. I've gone all the way up to 200M just to be
sure.

If it is in fact a timeout issue, you may want to consider either
breaking up the file into smaller chunks and reassembling on the server,
or have the script only read so much, then stop and alert the client
with a page with a refresh and some javascript to resubmit the file
again, and have the server seek to the right position and read another
chunk of data, and so on until the file is done.  Not sure how to do it
in PHP.  I think PHP doesn't let you get at the system reads for a file
upload, it just does it and sticks it in $_FILES.  But Perl will let you
do such a thing, as there's no built-in mechanism for file uploads, it
has to be coded, or use some module.

[PHP] anyone have any idea as to how to display a message after a page has started loading??

2003-08-22 Thread Jeffrey D. Means
I am looking for a way to say please wait generating thumbnails... while
actually doing so.  I have tried calling the JavaScript alert() function
before starting the image processing but it waits for the page to
complete loading before displaying the alert box.  anyone have any ideas
on this??  BTW: at the time I am trying to display a message I have
already started output to the browser.

[PHP] does anyone know how to tell if a PHP scrip is being executed from the command line not a server HTTP request??

2003-07-06 Thread Jeffrey D. Means
I am trying to write a script but for security I need to verify that it is
not executed by a web server.  At this point I have just placed it outside
the htdocs tree but would like to build into the script a test to die if it
is being executed by a web server.

Thanks

[PHP] Is there any way to change the process user (logon user) for a running script??

2002-05-09 Thread Jeffrey D. Means

I have come across a situation where I need to temporarly change the user
profile in the middle of a script.  I would prefer to do this than to change
ownership of files to allow the script to be able to read them.  I don't
know whose files I will be reading when the script runs, however I need to
be able to read files from /home/*/Mail on a user by user basis.  Is this
possible??
