If you have access to SSH/command line try running file /home/thushw/mocha_src/LiveMocha/trunk/src/wwwroot/app/webroot/img/new/button-middle.gif and see if it's really a gif, if you don't have access to above, open the image with any text editor, and see what the first 3 letters say.. If it's an GIF image, it says GIF (GIF89 probably) if it's an JPEG image, it says something like ÿØÿà if it's an BMP image, it says BM (BM6) and if it's an PNG image, it says ‰PNG I hope this helps you..

and here you call it $userName. If this is the full code, $userName is
not set here, and it would result in query userName='' and mysql_query
will return FALSE, which isn't a valid mysql resource for
mysql_fetch_array.

I advice you to split the code up in 2 seperate actions, and check for errors.
> if($rec=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE

would become:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE
userName='$userName' AND password = '$password'") or die
(mysql_error());
// You could also add some checks here with mysql_num_rows for example...
if($rec=mysql_fetch_array($result)){

This is because in the second example, you're including the file in a
different scope than the first example. The file included (and so all
variables etc. declared in it) will be added to the scope where the
include is.
This manual page should help you:

Well, then you're problem is probably in your myclass.php file...

Each program does some things at startup, like loading DLLs if they weren't loaded already, copying program into memory etc. which all take resources, and when you run the program as a service with access through sockets, the program would run forever, but doesn't need to startup each time.

I think you're little bit confused by the quotes :P
and since you don't have error reporting including E_NOTICE, you don't
see that there's some problem with your code :P
If I execute your code with the -n option, I get same results.
When I put them in a PHP file like this:
I get :
bool(false)
bool(false)
and you probably also ;)

Code readability is quite important when working with a team on a
project, and if you got for method 1 on things like this:
$str = '';
It gets quite inreadable, having a double qoute next to a single quote.
while this looks much better:
$str = "";
I just did some benchmarks myself, and you can see that concatenation
is definitly a little bit fast, but it's only 2 seconds on 10 million
loops:
For 10,000,000 loops:
Concatenation single quote:5.62786102295
Concatenation double quote:5.6335657
Interpolation:7.32201290131
Test code used:
';
}
$time[2] = microtime(TRUE);
$x = 0;
$str = '';
$add = '?';
$time[3] = microtime(TRUE);
for($x = 0; $x < 1000; $x++) {
$str = "";
}
$time[4] = microtime(TRUE);
$x = 0;
$str = '';
$add = 'def';
$time[5] = microtime(TRUE);
for($x = 0; $x < 1000; $x++) {
$str = "";
}
$time[6] = microtime(TRUE);
echo 'For 10,000,000 loops:';
echo 'Concatenation single quote:'.($time[2]-$time[1]);
echo 'Concatenation double quote:'.($time[4]-$time[3]);
echo 'Interpolation:'.($time[6]-$time[5]);
?>

You could use things like files or databases too, but sockets would mostly be easier as you can simple send a START command to emulate the start of a program, and have a stream open for returning data.

Just to clarify, the DEFAULT line-endings for OSes:
Windows: \r\n (carriage return followed by a newline)
Unix: \n (newline)
Mac: \r (carriage return)
Of course it is possible to use other line endings on those OSes, but
these are the default.

You forgot the Macintosh newlines, which is a single carriage return.
Try this code instead:
$string = str_replace("\r\n", '', $string);
$string = str_replace("\n", '', $string);
$string = str_replace("\r", '', $string);

500 people at the same time is a big problem, as it will start 500
processes at the same time. I wonder how many Windows servers can
handle that much processes at same time.
If you have written the windows application, you should rewrite some
part of it to let it work with sockets, so that you can simply connect
to the program with a socket.

Actually, I didn't want to answer this, but you're talking shit here ;)
Javascript needs to be initialised before it can be used.
So, if you have a function bodyload(), and you call it from , you need to place it inside , as it isn't
loaded if you put it in .
Some browsers will still run the javascript code, however it is not recommended.

This means you have 3 options: 1) form field MAX_FILE_SIZE, which is the easiest thing to bypass. Some browsers even ignore this. 2) Javascript check, this can also be bypassed quite easily. 3) Do it through a seperate program, like an JAVA applet, or a stand alone application. Both can be bypassed too, though you need to have knowledge of ASM and Reverse Engineering for that, which is not easy, but once you know it, it can be quite easy to do it too ( I could do it in less than 5 mins ) Tijnema -- Vote for PHP Color Coding in Gmail! -> http://gpcc.tijnema.info -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

That one should also be the same as PHP script is running on AFAIK.

Where is the microphone connected? Server? Client? or is it a Stand Alone app (CLI)? If it's connected to the client PC (which I'm guessing), then you can't use PHP for recording it, it needs to be done in a client side language, and if you don't want the client to download an application, you have a few options, but there's only one I can recommend, and that is java. But really, you're not on the right list for that ;) If it's connected to the server, or if it's an Stand Alone app, then I would recommend you looking for some software that does record from the microphone, and use it through system, exec, ``, ... functions.

Once it arrives at the mailing list server, the server adds [PHP] in front of the title, and sends it to all subscribed members. All members that receive this message, get the message with [PHP] in front. Now when somebody replies to the list, the title will be something like Re: [PHP] Title.

The image itself.
Also note, that if you use my solution 2, you still might get
problems, as the page that is calling might be cached, and in the
cached page, it refers to the image with the same unique code, and it
will use the cached image again.
Also, if you use solution 2, the image will still stay forever in the
temp folder of the browser(unless the user is cleaning it). If you use
solution 1, the browser will keep it only for this page, and will
remove it afterwards.

But wouldn't that make every image on the page be uncached and reloaded each
time? Not very efficient if the shell of the site keeps getting loaded if
only 1 or 2 images need to be forced.

Yes, that depends on which way it is used, I wouldn't recommend
loading images from the database that don't get changed...
And you can of course also use an
if-statement/switch-statement/in_array function in your image.php
script, like this:
$img = $_GET['img'];
if($img == "test_a.jpg" || $img == "test_b.jpg") {
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
}
OR:
$img = $_GET['img'];
switch($img) {
case "test_a.jpg":
case "test_b.jpg":
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
}
OR:
$img = $_GET['img'];
$noncached_images = array("test_a.jpg","test_b.jpg");
if(in_array($img,$noncached_images)) {
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
}

Post-Check=0, Pre-Check=0');

Solution 1:
Send a header() that avoids caching (can't remember it exactly)
Solution 2:
Call the image like this:
Or if you were creating it with a php script:

Hello, Dans!
Dan K., is there any reason the validation can't reside within the
same script as the form, then forward on success? A very simple
example:
Since the user will start with a blank form, and the $_POST values
won't already be set, the values in the form will be blank on the
initial page load, but for unsuccessful attempts, they'll be populated
with the correct data.

Re: [PHP] Bundled GD compiling?

The documentation says:: "To use the recommended bundled version of the GD library (which was first bundled in PHP 4.3.0), use the configure option --with-gd.

just following up on this problem. I am using PHP 5.2.3. I also do remember
that previously in older versions of PHP, I used to see the session data was
the actual serialised data. But now with my testing it just seems to be one
long string. Which leads me to beleive that there is some kind of encoding
taking place.
Please start a new thread about your problem, it might be related, but
not the same.

Re: [PHP] session_decode from session handler
On 7/19/07, Ryan Graciano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm having an issue getting session_decode to work from my session handler in
PHP 5.2.3. Here's a short code snippet that demonstrates what I'm trying to do
(from my read handler) -
public function read($id) {
var_dump($data); // prints out the serialized session correctly
$retval = session_decode($data);
var_dump($_SESSION); // prints out "array(0) {}"
echo $retval; // prints false
return $data;
}
In my calling function, $_SESSION is updated with everything that was held in
$data, which means that $data was not corrupt - it worked when I returned it,
but it did not work when I used session_decode. This is a problem because I
want to change my read($id) function so that it decodes $data, adds something
extra to the $_SESSION, then re-encodes $data and returns it.
Thanks,
- Ryan
How did you get $data?
If it's just serialized data, you can simply call unserialize instead
of session_decode.

I use facebook and from time to time I do indeed invite my friends. The problem you are experiencing is abuse of the feature. You have entities outside of what you would call friends that are hitting you up for a connection. The solution to this really should be the opportunity to register your address with the social network such that you will no longer receive requests. Cheers, Rob. I get invites from a lot of friends, but the problem is they all come from different sites (hyves, facebook, some dutch sites,...) I don't like to keep all of these sites up to date with my daily life etc., so I decided to NOT to join any of these social networking sites. The problem is, that most people on the sites I saw were only trying to get the most friends, most "friends" were even people they didn't know anything about. For me, No join, No "Social Networking Friends", no spam :) Tijnema -- Vote for PHP Color Coding in Gmail! -> http://gpcc.tijnema.info -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

While you think you're connected to port 80, it is actually redirected to another port (mostly from 3000 onwards). So, if you have a lot of visiters, you might reach the limit of ports, 65536 (0-65535). Some of them are already in use, so you end up to have a limit of about 65530 connections to keep open. For a normal site this isn't a problem, but if you count on shared hosts, with let's say 20 sites, then they can all handle about 3200 connections. Half of the users has probably more then one window open, which means another connection. So you end up to have a maximum of about 2000 visiters at same time for each site.

(DNS is for hostname-> IP conversion). If you can't fix the DNS, you can always modify RPC.php, to change pear.php.net to 216.92.131.66, which is the IP if I ping pear.php.net. Note that this isn't a fix, but only a workaround, and the IP of the pear server might change someday and then your stuck with the old IP. So really try to fix the DNS problem..

Relevant to the above:

The same fault is made over and over again ;) as the fish egg was
earlier (as noted here)
Your code should be this:
$a = array('Chicken','Chicken egg');
echo "The " . $a[array_rand($a)] . " comes first.";

We used to use php 4 on our web server on win2000, and use the system()

It was working perfectly for years.
However, recently we moved to a win2003 server, and install the php
5.2.3, and now the system() no longer works as expected:
1. It no longer work in the web, the only result returned
to the web browser is "retval =-1";
2. It still works if tested in DOS commandline (use the
command such as "php test.php");
3. Even change the $cmd to "type test.txt" or "dir", the
result is the same: works in DOS prompt window, but
not web browser (received only "retval =-1").
I have checked the permissions on all those files/folders, even tried
giving read/execute permission to "everyone", still no help.
In our configuation, the safe mode is off.
Any clue? Thanks in advance.

Are you sure PHP does actually read the config file?
Check if safe_mode is really off using phpinfo(); like this:

Yeah, I saw that on Wikipedia that and the Moscow fire that
was the biggest since 1977 or something I think it said it killed
45 women.
Damn.
Yes, the Moscow Hospital Fire [1] was also on 9 December, was it maybe
the wife of one of the developers of Unix that wife died there in the
hospital? :P

That's correct, but not all are explicitly required. The function
should actually be written as follows:
int mktime( [int hour [,int minute [,int second [,int month [,int
day [,int year [,int dst]]] )
And by default, if date() is given a second parameter, but that
parameter is null or empty, date() will return `9 December, 2006`
(formatted accordingly). I'm not certain of the significance of this,
nor am I sure that all versions of PHP will return this same value.
I'd have expected Unix epoch time, so 9 December, 2006, could be an
easter egg date. Worth reading up on, but nothing I can find so far
explains it. ANYONE ELSE KNOW? I'd love to find out!
The only thing I could find about 9 dec 2006:
"9 December, 2006 - Shuttle Discovery launches on the STS-116 mission
at 8:45 P.M., the first night launch in 4 years (STS-113 being the
last)."
