Re: [PHP] Why PHP4?
Sorry to disagree, That's nothing to apologise for. But I think that with PHP4 a lot of people start thinking that they could be programmers (maybe they can, developers it's another story). When php5 came they didn't know how do deal with the deprecated methods and worst, some hosters didn't know how to virtualize a f1ck1n' server with Apache+PHP5. A lot of mistakes were made when php5 came out but how can a language grow up when they DEPRECATE the syntax? we're not talking about removing the last That's not the problem of the PHP developers. Learning is not a case of spend a few years doing it and you're set - it's a life long thing. Maybe I'm in a GET LOST PHP phase but I think that someone is killing it, and the ones who are stuck in 4 are not helping. There are alternatives - have you heard of Brainfuck? When U write code, U must not be worried 'bout the next upgrade of your server! Of course you should. Writing code with every eventuality in mind is simply ludicrous.

Re: [PHP] Why PHP4?
Umm, I beg to differ. A developer should not need to worry about a possible/future upgrade of the runtime platform. I certainly don't worry about the next release of gcc or glibc when I write C.

[PHP] Search thoughts
Hey, I was hoping to get some ideas on improving a sites search. Currently I have two - not a lot but I've been thinking about this for a few minutes. Currently the site in question uses a very basic LIKE in MySQL, eg %blah%, but naturally this finds terms such as hjkblahbjkk - which is not desired. Or such matches should be ranked lower than something that matches the exact word blah. My thoughts are using a points system, eg assigning 5 points for an exact word match, 1 for a partial match. And then ordering the search results by the total points assigned. Either that or using external search code and not worrying so much.

Start with LIKE 'word' query and pull the results into a results array. Then do the same query but with LIKE '%word%' and loop through append the results to the results array. Use something like if (!in_array($thisResult,$resultSet)) while appending to avoid duplicates. Well no. LIKE is slow and so is in_array(). Admittedly it's not a busy site, but still.

Re: [PHP] Search thoughts
I'm sure that would work, but just how many LIKE items do you want to show the user? For me, I would rather not show them anything if there is nothing on my site that matches their exact search criteria. Certainly an idea, but something like We also found... might be helpful in regard to typos. The point being, from my perspective, users don't spend a lot of time reading results. They want answers quick and short. I would think that if you provided them with a long list of Did you mean this? results -- that might frustrate the user. A good point. For example I rarely go further than the first page on Google (I never need to really, but whatever...). if someone could come up with a better way, I am sure you could. Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I've kept away from search as it doesn't overly interest me. In fact that's quite an over statement. It really bores the pants off me. But, the point is, would it make a difference? Well spending some time on it will improve it as it's just the basic LIKE at the moment, but point taken - I really don't want to spend a lot of time on it. -- Richard Heyes -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] An HTML5 radar chart
Why are you doing that with JavaScript? Because it's neat, and I'm bored. A more real reason could be shifting the load from your server (ie building and displaying graphs with JPGraph) on to the client machine, where there's far more resources available. Say your server has to show a graph for 100,000 site visitors. Compare your 1 server generating all 100,000 graphs, which you may not be able to cache, with 100,000 client computers generating them individually. End result - far less load on your server, hence it can cope with far more views and/or respond quicker. -- Richard Heyes -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This tiny sample should end immediately, and the sleep command should run

Thanks so much for the suggestion, that's what I ended up doing and it
worked, after some fiddling. Just as a side note, does it execute from the
current directory of the file?
I think so.
Previously, I tried calling exec('php
scripts/foo.php'), but it seemed like there was some weird interaction
between different required files. E.g., this was the layout:
orig.php
scripts/foo.php
incl.php
orig.php had the exec line, and foo.php had require_once(../incl.php). But
it seemed like the exec call caused foo.php to execute from the scripts
directory while the require_once caused incl.php to also execute from the
scripts directory.
How does php determine what the working directory is?
I believe it's the directory of the original script. So if you had:
require_once('scripts/foo.php');
...in orig.php, that would be correct.

Can't give you a definite answer but presumably it's not calling the

will show if this is the case. Eg:
function __construct($str){
$this-contents=$str;
echo In string_extended constructor...br /\n;

Re: [PHP] Reloading changes JS files?
When you do an explicit refresh or reload in your browser, it should ignore whatever it's got cached and refetch your javascript files regardless. With Interweb Explorer you need to hold down CTRL and CLICK on refresh (as opposed to pressing CTRL+R say) to get a fresh copy. I guess it depends on the headers you send on the page.
