[PHP] include_path problem in executing program from root folder
Hello, One of my PHP programs called dailybatch.php3 includes a file in its parent directory. The link is include ../db_mysql.inc dailybatch.php3 is invoked from the crontab command or run from the command line in the root /www folder, gives an error indicating that ../db_mysql.inc not found. However, when you change to the folder where dailybatch.php3 is present and execute the program, there are no errors and the program executes. The include_path has . folder in it. What could possibly be the problem with executing the program from the /www folder? With Regards, Sharat _ The MSN mobile contest!

[PHP] Communication between PHP Server code and HTML/JavaScript client without refreshing the page
Hello, How do I communicate betwen an HTML page having JavaScript and a PHP server code without having to refresh the HTML page. I was originally thinking of having an invisible applet communicating to the server, but I am not sure how this is done. I am also considering XML and SOAP, but I am not sure about the following: 1. Where does the SOAP client reside - on the browser/html or on the server? 2. How do I communicate from my HTML page to the SOAP client?

[PHP] Java Applet to PHP Communication
Hello, I need to be able to communicate from a Java Applet to a PHP program on the server to enable Live Connect for data. This is what I intend to do: In my web application, a Java Script program will call a Java Applet which then calls the PHP program on the server. The PHP program works like a servlet and passes the result back to the Java applet which passes the information back to the JavaScript program. How can a Java applet work with a PHP program? Are there any special precautions / programming issues involved? Thanks in advance With Regards, Sharat * Disclaimer: The information in this e-mail and any attachments is confidential / privileged.

Ensure you have specified the php program in the first line, I am sure you did this but here is how I do it. #!/usr/local/bin/php -q Make sure it is a fully specified pathname to the php executable. Crontab all too often does not have knowledge of your path environment so may get lost if you just say php. Make sure you really do have a php executable.

[PHP] Regular Expression Problem
Hello,
In PHP3, I am using code which using the regular expression capability of
PHP. The code matches all occurences of string prefixed by __ (2
underscores) and having alphanumeric characters as well as _ (1 underscore)
within it.
The code is as follows:
while (eregi(__([a-z0-9_]+)__, $ExpandedString, $Matches)) {
}
In PHP 4, the regular expression __([a-z0-9_]+)__ does not seem to work. I
tried __([[:alnum:]_]+)__ also but that too did not work.
Looks like the problem is with combining two ranges and a literal within the
regular expression
Any solution would be appreciated?
With Regards,
Sharat

* Provide some method of the user automatically downloading this. How do I

I want the screen which says Open File or Save to come up and then the

It's not even necessary to save the form data to a file on the server
if you're just going to remove it after the user downloads the text
file. The key to this is knowing the proper HTTP headers to send, to
inform the browser that it should download a file. Then simply print
the desired form data to stdout, and it'll be fed into the file that
the user saves.
For example:
?
if ($action == 'Get Text File')
{
// Tell the browser to display a 'save file' dialog
Header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
Header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=formdata.txt');
// Print the text to be sent as formdata.txt
echo First text field: $firstfield\n;
echo Second text field: $secondfield\n;
exit;
}
?
form method=post action=?= $PHP_SELF ?
First: input type=text name=firstfieldbr
Seond: input type=text name=secondfieldbr
input type=submit name=action value=Get Text File
/form
Here, the form takes in two text strings, and offers them to the
browser as a file.
