I've been having a similar problem for over a week. Tried everything I
could think of. Script looked like this:
variable={$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['AVAR']}";
?>
Seemed everyone else could get it to work except for a friend and I.
I'm using IE 6.0.28, he's using Netscape 4.04.
I was able to correct the problem by doing the following while running
IE6.0.28:
a) Select Tools/Internet Options
b) Select Privacy Tab
c) Click on Advanced button
d) Check Override Automatic Cookie Handling
e) Check Always allow session cookies
After doing this - everything worked fine - even the test scripts above
(except for the variable 4).
I then went back and unchecked the Override Automatic Cookie Handling -
assuming that this would return me back to a state where AVAR would not
increment. Much to my chagrin, it continued to work. This leads me to
believe that there's a registry setting somewhere that controls this
behavior. Now, to find out what it is and how to check for it on a
user's machine from within PHP.
[2002-07-08 09:35:24] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This test case I posted is with register_global turned off. Well, the
documentation should stated that the number can not be used as the
first character. I wonder how can anyone tell the difference on
$_SESSION from an array? It look a lot like an array in some way.
[2002-07-05 15:50:47] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
As session variables are subject to be registered as global variables
(if register_globals is on), and identifier names (including variable
names) cannot begin with a numeric character, it's not too hard to see
that session variables should not begin with a number. Basically
session variables
should follow naming ruiles for identifiers IMHO.
[2002-07-05 15:46:23] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Whoop! One more thing! $_SESSION[CUSTOMER_ID] does work on page 1
also! Didn't include that as Example #3 on page 1.
[2002-07-05 15:43:30] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I struggled with the $_SESSION problem for almost a week. When I read
this report, that is when reality hit me. In the comment written by
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" saying that I'm not suppose to use the numberic value.
I'm using PHP 4.2.1 and AIX 4.3.3. Here's the example that work which
should not have work at all. See the "//This one work!! (Numberic
Value)".
Why do I have to spend almost a week struggling over it? I read many
documentation about $_SESSION vs. session_register() with the
register_global turned off, but they say nothing about the numeric
value that aren't allowed to be used?
Thanks,
FletchSOD

OK.
Manual is incorrect here, in PHP4 functions either specify if an arg is
passed by ref or by value. In array_walk only the first argument is
ever passed by reference. I can see that passing userdata by reference
would be nice but unfortuantly it is too much of a big change that
could break too many scripts to make as this point as people may be
relying on the fact it is passed by reference.
For example
function my_function($value, $key, $userdata)
{
$userdata = strrev($userdata.$key.$value);
}
$array1 = array("one", "two", "three")l
$mydata = "array1";
array_walk($array1, 'my_function', $mydata);
This POOR example would not work with thrid parameter passed by ref so
for now am changing this to a documentation problem as the
documentation is currently slightly misleading in it advocates using
calltime pass by reference when infact the first param only is ever
passed by reference.

The PHP manual contains the following note about 'array_walk()':
Note:
If func needs to be working with the actual values of the array,
specify
that the first parameter of func should be passed by reference. Then
any
changes made to those elements will be made in the array itself.
So if you want to let 'array_walk()' pass the third parameter by
reference,
you're inclined to specify that the third parameter of func should be
passed by
reference. In the example underneath, the notation '&$userData' is
used to
specify so:
function PrepareBowl($value, $key, &$userData) {
print 'Mixed so far... ' . ($userData .= "$value ") . "\n";
}
$ingredients = array('peach', 'cherry', 'alchohol');
$bowl = '';
array_walk($ingredients, 'PrepareBowl', $bowl);
print "Bowl: $bowl";
This doesn't work however; '$assembly' will not be passed by reference
and the
output will be an empty 'bowl':
Mixed so far... peach
Mixed so far... peach cherry
Mixed so far... peach cherry alchohol
Bowl:
Only when you use the '&' notation within 'array_walk()' to specify
that the
third parameter should be passed by reference:
array_walk($ingredients, 'PrepareBowl', &$bowl);
the output will be as expected:
Mixed so far... peach
Mixed so far... peach cherry
Mixed so far... peach cherry alchohol
Bowl: peach cherry alchohol
but, using the recommended php.ini setting
'allow_call_time_pass_reference=Off',
you'll receive the warning:
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument
passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the
declaration of array_walk(). If you would like to enable call-time
pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true
in
your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any
longer.
This looks the same like bug 4116
(http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=4116), posted Apr 12, 2000. Although
this bug is closed with a reply that it works like the
replier think it should work, this doesn't seem logic to me because the
first
parameter *is* passed by reference without specifying; try:
array_walk(array('peach', 'cherry', 'alchohol'), 'PrepareBowl',
&$bowl);
and you'll receive:
Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference ...
Furthermore, I can't see much use of passing a third variable to
'array_walk()'
by value, modify it by passing it to func by reference ... without
receiving
back the modified variable.
Would it be a suggestion to let 'array_walk()' receive the third
parameter by
reference if specified so in the receiving func? This would be in line
with
the behaviour of the first parameter to func.

Well, I am reading bugs of how to get the different objects and
components of an xml document, and I have got a simply and fine
solution that is like follow,
");
$dom_tree = domxml_xmltree( $my_xml_file[0] );
echo "DOMTREE loaded";
print("");
print_r( $dom_tree );
print("");
echo "\n";
?>
The best of it, you do not need the whole path to read the file and you
get the whole description of your DOM.
This is my "books.xml" file,

Since I can't access their sites to see what the problem is, and I can only try and figure it out from the error messages they send me... A list of error messages PHP returns, along with general descriptions as to what might have caused them would be invaluable for me. I could also direct people there if their queries were simple enough. Do you already have such a page? Brian
[PHP-DOC] #19423 [Opn->Csd]: Problem with extension_dir in PHP.ini
ID: 19423 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows 9x/NT/ME/2000/XP PHP Version: 4.2.3 Previous Comments: [2002-09-27 12:34:01] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Should be mentioned in the manuel... Derick [2002-09-27 10:03:23] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I had the same problem, after some hours of struggeling, I finanaly got it This doesn't work : extension_dir=c:\php This works : extension_dir=c:\php\ It doesn't matter what dircotry the extension_dir is pointing to, you must put the last '\' there to make it work. Good luck all :) [2002-09-25 13:20:53] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is the assumption that if no directory is specified, that it will automaticlly look in the c:\WINNT\System32 directory for the extension dlls, correct? [2002-09-24 17:36:30] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm using the ISAPI version on Win2k IIS. My install drive for php is I:\php\ My php.ini is in the H:\winnt\ directory (the phpinfo() function reports that is were it found it). Php.ini coding : ; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside. extension_dir = I:/php/extensions/ As long as I don't specify a extension to load, php works fine. But, once I un remark an extension (ei. php_mssql.dll), it gives the "unable to load dynamic library 'I:/php/extensions/php_mssql.dll' The support module not found" message. I've tried both ways, I:\\ and I:/ [2002-09-24 17:10:49] [EMAIL PROTECTED] No php.ini does not have to be on the c: drive. However please make sure you are using the c:\\ or c:/ syntax. Also make sure that your php.ini file is in the correct location (look at the output of phpinfo()). With the cli and cgi versions you can often get away with putting the php.ini file in the same dir as the executable and it will find it there. - James The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
