[PHP] array_map() with multiple callback functions
Hi all. I want to apply strtolower() AND trim() to all items in an array. But I
don't see a way to call multiple callbacks with the array_map() function.
Are my two choices the following:
// 1) nesting two array_map() calls
$cleanData = array_map('trim',(array_map('strtolower',$rawData)));
// 2) call my own function with array_walk()
$cleanData = array_walk('myCleaner',$rawData);
function myCleaner($passedData){
$cleanData = array_map('strtolower',$passedData);
$cleanData = array_map('trim',$cleanData);
}
//(Of course, wouldn't bother with a function, just to call array_map twice...)
Just seeing if there's a better way than having to go through the array twice
to apply each callback separately. Thanks,

[PHP] Affordable low-fee e-commerce - DIY?
Hi all. Am wanting to build a site where people can donate $1.00 but is not for charity or other non-profit per se. So if I use PayPal, with their 2.9% + .30 per transaction fee, that equals .33 cents for each dollar - that's a full third of the amount the people would be giving. Credit cards appear to be similar, with some percantage and about .22 cents per transactions. Am wondering what other options I'm missing, that won't take such a chunk out of the low price? Is it easy enough to code to some other API for free (or at least cheaper)? Thanks. George Langley Interactive Developer www.georgelangley.ca

[PHP] SOAP problem
Hi,
My first post for several years. Using PHP 5.2.6 on Debian.
I'm trying to connect to an external SOAP server where no WSDL file exists.
I've been unsuccessful in getting a response which I've put down to the message
being sent.
My code is:
$params = array(
'RequestSystem' =>
'PackTrackerTest',
'SenderName' => 'George',
'MessageId'=> '1234'
);
$client = new SoapClient(null, array(
'soap_version' => 'SOAP_1_2',
'location' => "XX",
'uri' => "XX",
'trace'=> TRUE, ));
$result =
$client->__soapCall("GetReferenceData",array("GetReferenceData"=>$params));
Which generates the following message:
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:ns1="http://";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:ns2="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap";
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";>
RequestSystem
PackTrackerTest
SenderName
George
MessageId
1234
The SOAP server is expecting to get something like:
http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";
xmlns:v1="XXXX">
PackTrackerTest
George
1024
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can format my xml message
accordingly?

[PHP] Script failing on extension_dir

[PHP] BP for Looping through an Array
Hi all. Am wondering if there is a best practice for looping through an
array, when you need both the item and its position (ie. 1, 2, 3). The two
ways I know of:
// the for loop tracks the position and you get each item from the array
$allFiles = array("coffee.jpg", "tea.jpg", "milk.jpg");
$numberOfFiles = count($allFiles);
for ($i=1; $i<=$numberOfFiles; $i++) {
$currFile = $allFiles[$i - 1]; // since arrays start with 0
doThisWith($currFile);
doThatWith($i);
}
OR:
// the for loop gets each item and you track the position
$allFiles = array("coffee.jpg", "tea.jpg", "milk.jpg");
$counter = 1;
foreach ($allFiles as $currFile) {
doThisWith($currFile);
doThatWith($counter);
$counter += 1;
}
Both are the same number of lines, but my tests (see code below)
indicate that the foreach loop is twice as fast.
Anyone have a "better" way - faster, more efficient, "cooler", etc.?
(Or see some flaw in my test code below?)
Thanks.
George Langley

Hi there. First thought is perhaps it is not getting a value for
paymentMethod and if it doesn't exist, will the line still get added?
I would always check to see if every post variable isset, before adding
the line. Can write a default line in its place if missing.

Put simply, I like to learn the basics from books > rather than web pages. -- And as the OP said, something that they can carry around - websites don't always cut it on the morning commute! (Although I hope the OP wouldn't "smoke" anything!) I too prefer books, as they are usually organized as a training course, starting you with the basics and walking you through a logical progression of learning, as well as giving real-world lessons and experience. Not saying that php.net is or isn't, but more often than not, the manuals that come with software are organized by sections or features, and do not give you the basics from which to start. It's no good to start with "This is the drawing tool", if you don't know how to create a canvas to draw on. Reference books/sites are good once you know the basics on proper techniques, best practices and sensible workflows, and you can now expand into the full features that the software can offer. Plus, they can target your skills and desired learning - am currently researching Drupal, and have found some books that teach the basics on using it within its limits, and then others that teach how to build your own modules and plugins. Depending on what you are looking for, you can quickly target the skills you need to learn. And, is easier to make your notes in the margins on a piece of paper! Having said that, one of the main books I used for PHP was Apress' "Beginning PHP and MySQL", which is now in a 4th edition: http://www.apress.com/9781430231141 It provided a logical approach to both technologies and how to integrate them, all in one book. Then get one that focuses on security. O'Reilly has one (or more), but the one I picked up was "Securing PHP Web Applications": http://www.amazon.ca/Securing-PHP-Applications-Tricia-Ballad/dp/0321534344 and was a good read. I just wish book publishers offered an upgrade path if you bought an earlier edition, the way software publishers do! Perhaps that will be the greatest advantage an iPad or Kobo will have over paper.

[PHP] While on the topic of PHP Web Site Stats - SharePoint...
Hi all. Had a meeting today where I was rather condescendingly told that most CMS web sites use SharePoint. Last I checked: <http://trends.builtwith.com/cms> Wordpress, Joomla! and Drupal (PHP, PHP and oh look, PHP) kind of had the CMS market wrapped up, with numerous other systems fighting for the remains. In fact, I don't see SharePoint even listed at the above link. Any stats on (warning - buzzwords ahead) "External-facing" web sites using SharePoint? At $$$ for the required server software, compared to <$ for just about anything PHP-based, can only imagine companies using SharePoint must have their IT department in charge of the web site. Am sure it's fine as an internal project management tool, but am very concerned when other developers tell me to run away from anyone who chooses to use SharePoint on anything public. Thanks.

"The One True Brace Style":
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style>
Didn't know there was a name for the way I learned to indent! Make sense to me
- looks so much cleaner and less scrolling/printing.
And, I already add a comment to confirm the end brace:
} // end if($myVar)
to clarify any long nests.

As far as the original list:

it's just a tongue-in-cheek way to point out inconsistencies in the various
languages. However, is kind of out-dated, referring to PHP 4 and CSS 2, so am
wondering how many of the entries have been rectified? (For instance, CSS 3
does have multiple background images.) As well, I suspect that some of them may
actually make sense if analyzed as to why they are that way, instead of how the
author has grouped them.

So the PHP script can run as long as required if that is set sufficiently high enough. As long as you send something to the browser to confirm that the process has started, the browser-side timeout will not be a problem and your user will know to wait until notified by email that the file is ready. Once the script has completed, it stores the final db record and sends the email. George

Is there a good solution which can be implemented in php? > Please help. - Hi there. FAQ #16 on: <http://www.fpdf.org/en/FAQ.php#q16> has some useful info on handling large files: 16. What's the limit of the file sizes I can generate with FPDF? There is no particular limit. There are some constraints, however: - The maximum memory size allocated to PHP scripts is usually 8MB. For very big documents, especially with images, this limit may be reached (the file being built into memory). The parameter is configured in the php.ini file. - The maximum execution time allocated defaults to 30 seconds. This limit can of course be easily reached. It is configured in php.ini and may be altered dynamically with set_time_limit(). - Browsers generally have a 5 minute time-out. If you send the PDF directly to the browser and reach the limit, it will be lost. It is therefore advised for very big documents to generate them in a file, and to send some data to the browser from time to time (with a call to flush() to force the output). When the document is finished, you can send a redirection to it or create a link. Remark: even if the browser times out, the script may continue to run on the server.

[PHP] Class not used as an object (Scope Resolution Operator)
Hi all. Am fixing some inherited code, and the previous coder created a
class, ie:
class myClass {
function &doThis($passedVar) {
doSomething;
}
function &doThat($anotherVar) {
doSomethingElse;
}
}
BUT, I don't see anywhere where he created an object, ie:
$myObject = new myClass();
or
$myObject = myClass::doThis("value");
Instead, it's only ever just called directly with a "Scope Resolution
Operator", ie:
myClass::doThis("valueOne");
myClass::doThat($whatever);
myClass::doThis("valueTwo");
myClass::doThat($andSoOn);
It seems that this would be making an object, and then destroying it
again, on each of the four calls above, which I would think would be wasteful -
time, memory, cpu usage, etc.
The class has no constants or variables (properties) for any need for
persistence, and is just a collection of functions (methods), so I don't see a
reason to group them into a class - they could all reside as independent
functions within the php file.
Is this good? Is there some advantage to making a non-persistent class?
Thanks!

Re: [PHP] array_multisort into Natural order?
Hi there! Correct me if I'm wrong but merge() just makes one array of all
items. array_multisort() keeps each array separate, while applying the same
re-ordering to all three arrays. This allows you to use the same position
number to get the required elements from each array, especially where each
array is a list of different properties. For example:
$name = array("Joe", "Charlie", "Jack");
$age = array(30, 12, 66);
$job = array("Plumber", "Student", "Retired");
array_multisort($name, $age, $job); // will re-order all three arrays based on
a "regular" alphanumeric sort of the names:
// $name is now array("Charlie", "Jack", "Joe");
// $age is now array(12, 66, 30);
// $job is now array("Student", "Retired", "Plumber", );
// can now do:
$firstName = $name[0]; // returns "Charlie"
$firstAge = $age[0]; // returns Charlie's age 12
$firstJob = $job[0]; // returns Charlie's job "Student"
A merge of these arrays will lose the different types of info each array
currently has, and make it impossible to match a name to the age or job.
Now, my other option is to group the items into a set of arrays:
$array1 = array('name' => 'Joe', age => '30' job => 'Plumber');
$array2 = array('name' => 'Charlie', age => '12' job => 'Student');
$array3 = array('name' => 'Jack', age => '66' job => 'Retired');
$largeArray = array($array1, $array2, $array3);
But, is there a way to the sort $largeArray, based on the "name" value in each
individual array? And if so, can that use the natsort()? I don't think an
asort() can do either.
Note that the original source of this info is a mySQL db call, and it is
initially sorted in the query, but again, there doesn't appear to be a way to
natural sort an SQL query either. So I get file1, file10, file2, file20,
file5 instead of file1, file2, file5, file10, file20

Re: [PHP] $_GET is Mangling Base64 value
Hi again. Thanks for all the info!
Not sure I'd agree that GET should just "assume" it was URLencoded, but
hey - who am I to argue? :-{)]
As mentioned, this is eventually buried into a Joomla! site's login
functions (displays any errors). So not sure I'd have access to the originating
call to URLencode it before sending, if it's part of the standard Joomla! login
function and not some of our custom code.
However, Mike's suggestion to "pre-parse" it at our end:
$_GET['foo'] = str_replace(' ', '+', $_GET['foo']);
appears to work fine. I put the above in in just before the GET in my
bare-bones PHP-only test, and in the actual Joomla! page just before their
equivalent call:
echo base64_decode(JRequest::getVar('message', '', 'method', 'base64'));
Have tested it with strings that also included a / (being the other
non-alphanumeric character that Base64 uses), and it remains unaffected.
So, guess I can either add the pre-parse wherever I need to, or try to
locate the call to see if I can urlencode it (and who am I to argue why they
didn't do that too?!)
Thanks again.
George
[PHP] $_GET is Mangling Base64 value
Hi all. Is there an issue with $_GET not handling a Base64-encoded value correctly? (PHP is 5.1.6) Am receiving a Base64-encoded value: theurl.com/index.php?message=x and retrieving it with $_GET: echo $_GET["message"]; x is a Japanese phrase, that has been encoded into Base64. So is using the + symbol: ...OODq+OCou... but my $_GET is replacing the + with a space: ...OODq OCou... thus the base64_decode() is failing (displays diamonds with questions marks on my Mac). The Base64-encoded string is 156 characters long, if that has any bearing. My test URL is 230 characters in total, less than the "old" 256 limit. All I can find online is a reference that PHP will no longer assume that a space is a +: <http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.base64-decode.php#69298> but my problem is the opposite - the + symbols are there, but the GET is removing them. (And to add a wrinkle, this then goes into a Joomla! page, whose getVar() command completely removes the +, so I couldn't even do a string replace, as I don't know where the + should have been!) Tired of looking at the dark red spot on the wall! Thanks. George Langley Multimedia Developer Audio/Video Editor Musician, Arranger, Composer www.georgelangley.ca

hi
my question is about send an email with php like a newsletter, when
we read
a newsletter email its similar to a webpage which contains content,
images,
css and other elements
i created a static webpage initially with html css and images folder
after
creating the page i wanted to test to see how it would look if i
were to
send this as an email like a newsletter.
so i have created a php file with
$headers = "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";
$to="myemailaddress";
$subject="Email Newsletter";
and
$message as mentioned above has the entire html code as i used it in
my
static html page
i also copied the style.css in the server and created images folder
and
copied all the images i used in my static page to the server.
i created a separate folder in my webserver called newsletter and
copied the
php file, css file and images folder with the images i used
when i accessed the index.php as http://website.com/emailnewsletter
i am
getting a message that The email has been sent and i am getting the
email
however my question is when i open this email the styles and images
are not
being applied and i see only the text in the static page i created.
can someone let me know how i can fix this so that when i open the
email it
would look like the static page i created with all the styles
applies and
images displayed
is this only possible by using specialized email softwares or can it
be done
by php as well with the logic used.
any help will be appreciated.
thanks

Re: [PHP] ip-to-country
From my experience, I have had reported one incorrect country-level
IP from Maxmind's paid service (returned US vrs Canada for a Canadian
IP). But their free version is based on the commercial lists, just not
updated as often, or automatically (you download and store locally on
your server). So should be nearly as accurate as long as you maintain
the lists (ie. think is weekly, being 2-weeks behind).
That said, someone on another list is running a geo-location service
comparison test, where you click links to the various services, then
enter the location they returned. He was compiling the results, and so
far has reported the following:
-QUOTE---
So far some crazy numbers and realities. Of these numbers, all of the
vendors missed 25 exact city locations equally. So our continued plan
is to measure how far off the approx. 25% are so we can then say, "OK,
x vendor is 100% accurate up to x% and then x% accurate within say x-y
miles". The shocking thing to us is still how some of the more
expensive providers will say their definition of accuracy on a city
level can be within 25 miles. Thus you would receive statistical
confidence of a 90-100 for an IP that shows Pasadena, Calif. and yet
in reality be located in Long Beach, Calif., or the same for San Jose,
Ca. and yet be further up the peninsula in San Carlos, Ca.
total: 103
ip2: 55
quova: 46
ipiligence: 32
whatis: 62
maxmind: 63
By the way, we are obviously way short still on queries so if you
haven't clicked on the link, please do so and follow some ez pz
instructions:

So help him out by clicking the link (although not sure what he means
by "e-zed-p-zed instructions" ;-{)] )

But if you do grow to the point of something getting triggered, and your URL or server, or worse, your ISP, gets black-listed, it may be hard to undo the damage. Am not sure what sort of limits any of these will allow before they start thinking you are spamming. Or how big you have to be to be considered trust-worthy to be allowed to send multiple e-mails. My main ISP (shaw.ca - 100s of 1,000s of customers) has gotten blacklisted a number of times, and suddenly friends would get e-mails to my @shaw address rejected, and had to start using one of my other addresses. A very tiny mail list I belonged to (40 people if even that) refused to send to all of its @shaw members, and I ended up re- registering under a different address because it happened enough times. The company I work for has internal clamps that get triggered if anyone tries to send to more than 50 addresses. They also run a separate mail server from their web site hosting. The site is hosted on Amazon's Cloud - a huge company, and yet every one of their IPs are black-listed: <http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,sid201_gci1371369,00.html > The result was that even just a single e-mail to confirm registration to the member-only section of the site was getting flagged as spam by hotmail, or rejected outright by some other mail servers. Kinda hard to complete a registration if you never see the e- mail! We ended up relaying through our own mail server, which is fine for a one-at-a-time e-mail. But at over 50,000 customers, I have been strongly recommending the use of service if they do decide to start any mass e-mail newsletters or campaigns. Anyway, my point is - how important is this part of your business, and would it be worth the $ cost to use a service, rather than building, maintaining and potentially protecting your own?

Re: [PHP] header problem
Hi Blueman. As soon as ANYTHING has been drawn to the browser, you
cannot use a header command. So you need to work through all of your

Re: [PHP] Sorting mySQL query - one order from multiple fields
In case anyone else was wondering, the command to use is COALESCE()
as in:
$theQuery = mysql_query("select variousFields from theTable where
date = '$currDate' ORDER BY COALESCE(rotime2,rotime1,time)");
COALESCE() will use "one" of the variables, being the one it finds a
value for first, for each record. Note how this differs from a multi
sort, which sorts by the first field, then subsorts by the second,
third, etc.
Hope this helps someone.

That's an interesting subject that I've never considered.
I usually return immediately. For me, it makes the code easier to
read. I work with a number of other coders here and, if the result
isn't returned then I have to keep reading through the code to make
sure nothing else is done with it. However, when I see the 'return'
then I know we're done there.
That said, I often see questionable coding practices in use at work.
I follow this list (and try to read books about the technologies I
use) because I intend to develop good practices for myself. That in
mind, if anybody feels strongly about doing it the other way, I'd be
interested in understanding its benefits.

Re: [PHP] alt() - unknown function?
This is someplace where NetBeans really benefits me. You can hit CTRL-B, or
right-click, to take you to a definition. Holding CTRL turns darned-near
everything into a hyperlink, doing the same thing.
Lastly, CTRL-SHIFT-F lets you search through every file in the project for
your string.
Finding nothing with those, I'd grep the whole stinkin' drive and go grab a

Re: [PHP] Best Practices for Hiding Errors
Thanks for all the info, everyone! Seems like the @ trick is nice
for individual lines, but turning off/on every time may be bit much
on a complicated page. The ini_set('display_errors', false); also has
a hit, as it turns back on after the entire script has run, but seems
the easier way and just the one time may not be too bad. So maybe is
best to turn it off in the actual ini, and turn on only for me, based
on my IP or some other flag.
Thanks again!

[PHP] Best Practices for Hiding Errors
Hi all! Have a question about hiding PHP errors from the end user.
I have the following lines:
$fp = fsockopen ($host, 80, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
if (!$fp) {
// problem, put error handing code here
} else {
// success, do whatever here
}
but if fsockopen is unsuccessful, PHP will display an error warning on the page
before it even gets to my error handling code.
I found the display_errors command at:
< http://ie.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.display-errors>
but they give the following warning:
"This is a feature to support your development and should never be used on
production systems (e.g. systems connected to the internet)."
Am unclear what that means - is it okay to add:
ini_set('display_errors','Off');
to my page, so that an end user won't ever get the warning displayed and I can
deal with the error behind the scenes? Or is there a better way to keep PHP
from writing error codes to the screen?

[PHP] PHP task manager

Re: [PHP] Limit Local Search to Content
Hi Ashley. That's what I'm doing, but want to limit what gets stored
to just the content. Every page has a drop-down menu of, for
instance, various cities, so I want to exclude that part of the page
in my search terms. I don't want every page to think it has content
on Calgary, Hamburg, Phoenix, etc.
I finally walked myself through the code I had been modifying, and
found that they were parsing it line by line with an fgets (rather
than word by word). So was able to use Stuart's original idea of
surrounding the content with an unique comment line, and setting a
flag to tell whether to parse the line or not. If it found the line, it would start parsing, and stop again when it
reached the line.
Is also nice that I can then specify multiple sections within the
page if I need to.

[PHP] Limit Local Search to Content
Hi all! Am building a Search feature following the excellent tutorial at: <http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/php/2002/10/24/simplesearchengine.html> It loops through a page and stores the words found in a mySQL database. I have about 60 pages, and all of them share a number of common items like header, menu, footer, etc. These get added as includes. The result is that every page gets marked as having "Contact Us", "Terms of Use" or any other item in the menu, footer, etc. I would like to limit the word list to items found just in the page's unique content. I do have a div with an id of "divContent" for the actual content. So I could add an if statement to only start storing words found after the word "divContent" has been found. But, my question is: How do I STOP it? Is it permissible to add the id again in the closing div tag ie . If this is allowed, I could keep an eye out for that id again and stop it when found a second time, so that my list doesn't include items in the footer (which again is common to all 60 pages) or any other items outside of the content section. Or is there a better way to trigger the recording of words on/off? Thanks! George Langley Multimedia Developer Audio/Video Editor Musician, Arranger, Composer www.georgelangley.ca

Re: [PHP] Proper code formatting
Well, I was pondering making a recommendation, of sorts. I work in an environment with various levels of coders, perhaps similar to your description. Currently, there are no standards that I have seen. We all are bringing our coding habits with us. I don't know if it is important that I like lower case variable names with underscores for spaces while the next guy likes each letter of a new word in uppercase. However, I can imagine it getting out of control as the code continues to grow.

Oozy,
Lighten up, brother. I read your original question and I thought "This guy
shoulda started asking these questions before her started hiring people."
Tedd invested time, thought and energy in to giving you a quality response.
I don't have the kind of field experience to give you an answer of that
caliber. I personally felt that I benefited from reading Tedd's response to
you, so it shouldn't have been too difficult for you to gain from it.
After that, you announced yourself the owner. It may have escaped your
scrutiny, but the kind people that hang out here trying to assist people
with their PHP challenges are *NOT* here to do your job for you. That, in
my opinion, is what you asked. "I've started a business and hired a
programmer. Now somebody please explain to me how to be his boss, otherwise
it is going to be a difficult week."
Then you deal a really uninventive insult ("my questions in reading about
relaxation politness.") to a guy who has shown vast amounts of patience and
politeness to both, you, and the other's that he has helped -- if you've
been watching.
Then you wrap it up with the decree "No matter what type disagreement
happend between any two, that does not give any one of them the right to
insult the other." which is particularly rubbish following the sentence
where you insulted Tedd. Also, you will find that people do, in fact, have
the right to insult each other with, or without, disagreement. This is
something that you'll observe quite readily by hanging out on the PHP list.
So far, imo, everybody has been pretty nice to you. So why don't you go
spend some times with those books about 'relaxation politness' and stop
pitching what you ain't prepared to catch?

Netbeans does have some sick fanciness... Auto-suggest, leaving your cursor over a variable momentarily highlights it everywhere in the code and define labeled folding points. You can press CTRL-R to rename that variable everywhere it is used in the code. If you can figure out how to set it up with xdebug (I'm working on it) then you can have step-by-step debugging. NetBeans is well worth giving a chance, in my opinion. You can check out some videos if you don't want to risk the time.

Re: [PHP] Re: Problems with exec() on windows
I've skimmed some of thread, but I have not been following closely so please disregard if I'm just rambling. However, I've worked with lots of software on DOS boxen that couldn't handle long file names. If they also choke on the tildes then I usually just write a batch file that calls the full path and file with whatever command line parameters I pass to the batch.

Re: [PHP] "/home/{user}/directory"
My question was, as usual, inadequately formed.
Realpath() was interesting but I was creating directories to store archived
data. In my limited testing, it seemed that realpath returns a relative
path. Other words, if you're already in home and you try
(realpath("~")."\archive\") then you get only "\archive\".
In test situations, I wanted to allow for the user to not be me. It ended
up that I used GETCWD() so that it will run from anywhere that it can find
the required includes.
Nevertheless, the answers given enabled me to find a solution. I found all
kinds of interesting stuff with a var_dump($GLOBALS), however. :)
As always, thanks everybody!

[PHP] "/home/{user}/directory"
In my scripts, I usually define a boolean constant DEBUG. True looks for local copies of includes and echoes queries as they're used. My question is: Is there any way for me to reflect the actual home folder of the person running the script? So it will be "/home/george/foo" when I run it but, for another user, it would be "/home/their-username/foo"?

Re: [PHP] Script execution
Thanks everybody! I guess I was a little vague. I'm working on an OpenSUSE setup with Apache, MySQL and PHP. I just knew that my confusion was because of my Windows up-bringing. The writing I referred to was to a file. One example is I had a script that was pulling data from a database and using it to generate PDF files. This would work fine from the command line but _not_ if I pointed a browser at it. It wasn't an important difference because that script is a cronjob anyway. I just wanted to understand what was going on and how I could change it -- if I find later that I need to. Again, that's for the rapid and thorough help!

[PHP] Script execution
Hi everybody. The "problem" that I'm having is probably because I've got more of a Windows background -- and it isn't so much a problem as a point of curiosity. I've recently noticed that when I write a script that they seem to have different permissions when executed at the command line. Two that I have written recently run just fine when you execute 'php scriptname.php' but they are unable, at least, to write the data if I browse to them on localhost. Am I imagining things? If not, how would I properly make them able to run through a browser? Thanks! G

Re: [PHP] PHP includes
Right. There are several advantages to using included files. You can write routines that you're going to use repeatedly and just include the file with the code, instead of re-inventing the wheel, as they say. Consistency is another advantage. So, if you design your header, sidebar and footer and just include them then you don't need to edit every stinking page on your site when you want to make a change. There's a handful of include-type statements. Include, include_one, require, require_once, etc. I'd read about those four before making a choice about which to use.

Re: [PHP] Backend autodatabase update
There are a lot of ways to tackle that problem but everything coming to mind involves third-party software. You can use Sysinternals PsList<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896682.aspx>( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896682.aspx) to look for your process. If the process is not found then start it. One approach would be to create a batch file that uses PsList piped to find (e.g. 'pslist.exe | find "My Process") and start it if not. The scheduler might satisfy your needs but I have used VisualCron <http://www.visualcron.com/> ( http://www.visualcron.com/) for complex scheduling. If you wrote the process that is running then you could make it check for existing instances of itself and shut down if it is already running. Then you could schedule it to start every 30 minutes because it will just close if the first one is still running.

Re: [PHP] Backend autodatabase update
I'm new to the list, so maybe I've missed something. Please disregard if I'm blathering idiotically. What OS are you using? Do you mean that you want to run the job repetitively (again and again) or do you mean that you want to check that the job is still running and start, if it stopped?

Hi there! The right panel is not always refreshing correctly in my
Mac Safari 3.2.1 Sometimes is leaving lines through the various
elements, or not drawing them at all. This is occurring mostly when I
click a "Submit" or other button in the right panel, but also when I
click an item in the left panel. It does seem to be fine until after
I have added a new company to the list, and then it starts having
problems.
Don't know if something in your code, or just my machine acting up!
But may be worth testing somewhere else.
HTH.
