[PHP] Install question

2007-06-15 Thread Paul K
I have just started with a clean install on a Windows XP Pro system, 
Apache 2.24 and PHP 5.2.3


Apache Monitor reports Apache/2.24(Win32)PHP/5.2.3.

I can access html files just fine but I can't even run a test program

?php
phpinfo();
?

Nothing displays.

Where do I look to see whats wrong?

Paul

Do a search on freshmeat.net for Soap. I think you'll find someone
who've made an parser for soap. BTW, Soap is just XML, so find more info
about Soap and use the XML functions of PHP to generate and parse the
messages sent.

Re: [PHP] max array size question..

 I'm trying to read in a text file that has 42620 lines.  Each line has
 zip code information separated by commas.  I have no problem reading the
 file into an array.  But when I try and read each element in the array
 and put it into another array I get a "500 server error".  The second to
 last line is what's causing the problem.
 
 After doing some debugging I found out that at around iteration 18000 is
 when the server error occurs.  Any ideas?  I know I should use a
 database, but i'm intrigued by this problem.

Check out if the memory usage is overrun; check if timeout occurs. (Your
probgram isn't much help without the data)

If you don't Luis Argerich has written an article about this at zez.org:

contain everything you need to get started with shared memory and

Re: [PHP] Templates

 Sure,
 
 My understanding of templating engines
 1.array or item is assigned to a variable
 2.php placeholders in a html page match in name to above variable.
 3.a parser separate from php subsitutes the variable values set in (1)
 into (2)
 
 I've seen plenty of examples where there is a file containing lists of
 variable to item assignment, and thase files are passed to a one of a few
 template pages for layout.
 
 There must be a way to pass the result set of an SQL query into the set of
 placeholders - the end result would be that you could call whole sites via
 simple queries. All you have to pass in would be the SQL parameter.
 
 i.e. Table named 'Pvalues'
 
 Pvalues Sample Row

Check out http://www.scripps.edu/~jesusmc/cachedtpl/CachedTemplate.html
by Jesus M Castagnetto. His class solves the problem with caching
templates for all the template classes he has found.

One of those he found was a class called XTemplates, that class have
some very good functions, you could write this in your templae page:

{Pvalues.page_id}

and in the php page you could assign the result set directly to Pvalues,
and all items called Pvalues.something would be filled out with the
column of the same name.

The only drawback of XTemplates is that it adds some extra spaces to the
output, which on large pages might amount to quite a bit, but since
you're complentating working something like this out, you might instead
rewrite this class to remove that bit of a problem. (I haven't had the
time to track the bug down myself.)

Some timings I've made have shown that XTemplates on a large result set
seems to be only 10% slower than the templates which comes with PHPLib,
which is pretty good.

Finally it is much easier to use and initalize than any template engine
I've tried.

Re: [PHP] Shopping Cart Schema - Sessions

Which people? What facts do they have to support their claims? Is this a

 times significantly, when requiring cookies to use the cart. How would this
 have an effect on my script? i will have to call the sessid in all of my
 links, correct?

That is done automatically by PHP 4.x when using the correct settings,
but I can't remember them. There might even be a method for asserting if
a user digs cookies or not, and thus based on that set the correct run
time status.

What I really wanted to pounce on was the customer penetration
mentioned. Does anyone have numbers/research on the following:

How many don't like to use credit cards on line?
How many turn off cookies?
How many fear cookies?

I feel that for the majority of people cookies are not an issue,
probably due to lack of knowledge, or an attitude that it serves a
purpose. If your shop is aimed towards fringe groups (like geeks) that
sceptic group might be large. If your shop aims at the general
population I'm pretty sure that most leave their cookies on because it
makes their webmail easier to use, their accounts at amazon easier to
use, etc.

When in doubt, follow the stream... Check out this, Amazon uses cookies,
Amazon does a lot of business. Do you really feel that Amazon misses out
on a lot of customers? Do you know of any large websites doing shopping
carts which doesn't rely on cookies?

Finally the biggest obstacle might be credit card usage (lots of
negative hype) or product cost, who wants to use cc for really cheap
stuff?

Even more finally, sorry that I can't shore up my thoughts with any good
facts either, I just felt like questioning the statement since I feel
that it isn't neccessary the full truth.

 Hi,
 
 Is there such a thing yet ? I have had a look at the currently "being
 developed" documentation generators, but they just don't quite cut it yet,
 or did I miss one that actually works well ?
 
 We are working on Windows platforms, so a tool that does not rely on
 Unix/Linux only tools, would be perfect.
 
 Thanks a lot for your ideas and opinions.

At http://developer.ez.no you'll find eZPhpDoc which is based on perl.
You'll find examples of its output at http://doc.ez.no it is released

Here is the info you asked for originally:)

http://www.php.net/manual/ref.session.php

You'll need to have the sessid in all links, php does this for you
(PHP4) automatically.

It also discusses the problem you mention, that browsers aren't obliged
to accept cookies and that get is needed.

Re: [PHP] Netscape does not show all the variables

Sam wrote:
 
 Hi all,
 
 when I use IE, and do a phpinfo()
 
 The variable
 HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE displays en-gb (for english GB)
 
 But Netscape only displays en...
 
 The problem is, is that I want to know where visitors to my site are coming
 from i.e. UK, US, Australia, so that I can do a bit of php so that the
 relevant information is produced.

IE is installed on Windows. In all Windows installations you set your
language and country, and I bet that IE knows its way around the
registry to compose a correct language string and send it to you.
Finally IE is only used on Windows.

Though you can set the same info in Unix it is probably so that
Netscapes encodes only the language you use in the interface, or the one
used while downloading the program, or something similar. Obviously it
doesn't go to the same lengths as IE to extract the needed information.
 
 Is there anyway to do this, using php?

Probably, but not using the info here. You can look up which block an IP
address belongs to and then find out which country this is in. (Try
www.ripe.org and siblings for more info on this). That's probably the
only consistent (and costly in network time/parsing) method, and I
wouldn't rely on it either...

Re: [PHP] include path confusion

 Thanks for the info Brian. But what about the path you have in
 the include statement? IE: include "../path1/file.php"
 
 Does it ignore the path? Try the path? Or just append that path
 to the end of each path in the include_path?
 
 Best regards,

My experience is that "../path1/file.php" is appended to all paths in
the include path, as well as your current path. Current path, btw, if
you are using a lot of included files are always the path of the inital
script called.
