Stefan right, I just notice on the error

I'd bet you didn't turned On include_path directive on php.ini. Please
correct
thism, just remove semicolon at front of include_path.
include_path = "path/to/pear"

Sorry, but you're still hijacking someone's thread. Smart mail clients use the
following headers (which were still present in your post) to perform
threading:
References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Not so smart mail clients uses the Subject.
In detail:
You have started a new thread by taking an existing posting and replying to
it while you changed the subject.
That is bad, because it breaks threading. Whenever you reply to a message,
your mail client generates a "References:" header that tells all recipients
which posting(s) your posting refers to. A mail client uses this information
to build a threaded view ("tree view") of the postings.
With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature; your
posting shows up within an existing thread it has nothing to do with.
Always do a fresh post when you want to start a new thread. To achieve this,
click on "New message" instead of "Reply" within your mail client, and enter
the list address as the recipient. You can save the list address in your
address book for convenience.

Hi there
About 12 months ago, - (on an old PC), I ran Apache, &
installed PHP.. (I dont remember any hastles at the
time..)
Anyway, I havnt used PHP much - (didnt need to..)
- I have a new PC now - & loaded Apache onto it (a
test server, before I upload to main 24/7
website/server)
Its 3:30 a.m. on Sunday now - & all Friday night & Sat
Night - Ive been trying to instal PHP & make it "Go"
However, - Its not..
CURRENT SITUATION :-
Ive installed a new PHP (on my Win 98 system)..
& when I go into http://localhost/index.php - it asks
me what I'll like to do with it...
- I say to open in I.E. - However its as of c:\etc..
etc.. etc\index.php
It wont open it in the actual browser / website...
SUGGEST
Can anyone suggest a "Beginners guide" - Step-by-step
guide to installing PHP with Apache ?
PS
When I run PHP via a DOS PROMPT - I can put "php -v" &
it tells me the version number etc (its in the PATH
statement)...
Thankyou
G

Okay ... I've run into the strangest error situation.
Running Apache 2.0.48 on WinXP Pro SP1, and just upgraded PHP from 4.2.3 to
4.3.0 and didn't do anything but to delete the 4.2.3 binaries and replace
them with the 4.3.0 binaries.
Problem is I get this error message:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have
done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
----------
Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) Server at localhost Port 80
The log says this:
[Sat Mar 20 15:54:56 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of
script headers: php.exe
The script that causes this looks like this:
require('sql.php');
$link = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass)
or die('Could not connect : '.mysql_error());
// echo('Connected successfully');
mysql_select_db($database) or die('Could not select database');
function stripAccents($string) {
$returnString = strtr($string,
'àáâãäçèéêëìíîïñòóôõöšùúûüýÀÁÂÃÄÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÑÒÓÔÕÖŠÙÚÛÜÝ',
'aaaaaceeeeiiiinooooosuuuuyAAAAACEEEEIIIINOOOOOSUUUUY');
// $returnString = str_replace('æ','ae',str_replace('Æ','AE',$returnString));
$returnString = str_replace("'",'',$returnString);
return $returnString;
}
$updated = 0; $totalupd = 0;
for ($i = ord("a"); $i < ord("z")+1; $i++) {
echo('<b>Working on '.strtoupper(chr($i)).'</b><br>');
// commenting out this query makes the error go away, but then the script
fails of course
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM girlz WHERE `lastname` LIKE
'".chr($i)."%' ORDER BY `lastname` ASC");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
echo('<b>Loaded/working on '.$numrows.' rows</b><br>');
$updated = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$girlID = $row['ID'];
$lastname = $row['lastname'];
$firstname = $row['firstname'];
$middlename = $row['middlename'];
$firstsort = stripAccents(html_entity_decode($firstname),ENT_QUTES);
$middlesort = stripAccents(html_entity_decode($middlename),ENT_QUOTES);
$lastsort = stripAccents(html_entity_decode($lastname),ENT_QUOTES);
echo("<font color=\"#0000ff\">$firstname $middlename $lastname</font>");
echo("<font color=\"#800000\">$firstsort $middlesort
$lastsort</font><br>\n");
$result = mysql_query("UPDATE girlz SET
`lastsort`='$lastsort',`firstsort`='$firstsort',`middlesort`='$middlesort'
WHERE `ID`='$girlID'") or die('Unable to update '.mysql_error());
$updated++;
echo("<b>Updated $updated rows</b><br>\n");
}
$totalupd += $updated;
}
echo("<b>Total updated: $totalupd rows</b><br>\n");
mysql_close();
I upgraded to 4.3.0 only to be able to use html_entity_decode(), and
because my new host is using 4.3.0, and I try to keep the same version
level for proper testing purposes.
It only happens on this one script, which only purpose is to transpose some
names with HTML entities into something that MySQL can sort properly... the
weird thing is: I had the html_entity_decode in a sub-function, and it
worked fine. Then I moved it into the main script and removed the function,
and it does this error.
I've got 2 other much bigger and much more complex scripts that work on the
same DB/table with similar, but double queries with and without limits, and
they work without any problems at all.
What causes this? ... And how the heck do I make it work properly ???
TIA

I went to the website :- & on the 3rd-4th screen :-

I didnt have the ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/" set up

The 3 lines I needed (without the dashes) are :-

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

How do I convert this
9/8/2001
(which is Month/Day/Year)
to this
20010908
(YearMonthDay - with leading zeros)
Or alternatively take the Month/Day/Year format and find
anything older than 9 months ago.
Thanks.

How about:
<?php
$date = '9/8/2001';
list($mm, $dd, $yy) = explode('/', $date);
print(sprintf('%4d%02d%02d', $yy, $mm, $dd));
?>

Hi there
Got PHP going :)
- ok - Is this the correct group to ask ?
Or can anyone suggest another group / forum for newbie
how-to questions..
BASICALLY :- Ive been programming in HTML / CGI (Perl)
for several years, & have only 'briefly' done PHP..
- At work, Someone wants one of my CGI scripts to
convert to PHP...
Ive only discovered this forum a few hours ago - &
have for the last 2 days/nights been trying to figure
out how to get PHP going / running (on my home
server)..
(its Sunday Morning here)...
Anyways,
Can someone point me in the right direction to some
tutorials ( & *EXAMPLES* ) to do the following
functions (or point mer to an appropriate forum - see
above)..
:- Open a file & insert into an array/variable. (im
trying to figure that one out now - get file-open
errors)..
(& close / flock etc... - not sure if flocking is on
PHP ?)
:- turn a variable (split it) into an array..
:- Loop through an array - & display a line IF it
matches another variable etc..
I think those 3 things are good starting points - I
think I'll learn fast - But just need pointers to the
usage / PHP commands - That I know I can do in Perl..
Thanks
G

mktime returns an Unix Timestamp, you need to format it using
date( [form] , <[timestamp]> ).

I just finished looking through string functions
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php
and can't find one that inserts a character, not replaces one.
If there's a string that's over 50 chars long without a space, I want to insert a
space without replacing or losing any of the
original characters. Is there a function to do that?
advance thanks,
Dale

I should add that, unless there's a function that does it all, I'm not really
concerned with the finding the 50th char part. I know
there's other funcs for that kind of thing. It's just that all I'm trying to do is
make sure that when the string is output, it will
wrap to the width of a table and not stretch the table width to suit it's fancy.
If I manufacture a function to do all of the little things necessary to make this
thing wrap, it seems like a lot of ugly code to do
a simple task.

If there's a string that's over 50 chars long without a space, I want to insert a
space without replacing or losing any of the
original characters. Is there a function to do that?
advance thanks,
Dale
I should add that, unless there's a function that does it all, I'm not really
concerned with the finding the 50th char part. I know
there's other funcs for that kind of thing. It's just that all I'm trying to do is
make sure that when the string is output, it will
wrap to the width of a table and not stretch the table width to suit it's fancy.
If I manufacture a function to do all of the little things necessary to make this
thing wrap, it seems like a lot of ugly code to do
a simple task.
Use substr_replace() and set the length value to 0. Here's an example:
$text = "Thistext";
echo "$text<br />";
$text = substr_replace($text, " ", 4, 0);
echo $text;
Test it and you will see that a space is added into the text without
replacing any of it.

I have a site that will have different pricing by world region / country and
also offer different currencies.
Presently, the user has to select their country from a select menu and
submit the form, but I would like to eliminate this step if possible, and
set the country according to their IP address.
I had a quick look at http://www.iptocountry.com but was wondering if there
was a way of doing this with PHP functions?
I know its in use on the php.net and google.com sites (when I go to either I
get ie.php.net or google.ie) so was wondering if its costly / easy to
implement?
Thanks for the help,

You can use this class but remember that these services limit the number
of requests per ip address. php.net and google certainly don't use the
free service but instead bought a database. If your site is busy you
should buy one too.

PHP.net uses a free database: http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/
which is actually quite good.

What does this error mean?
PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 0177A8B4
I get it intermittently from pages in phpOpenTracker that call the
jpgraph functions. It's just a blank white page with that error, and
that doesn't help me out at all. I'm running Windows Server 2003/IIS 6
with PHP 5RC1.
I just wanted to freshen this post once more since no one's responded.
Perhaps it just means that no one knows? I've tried Googling on this,
but not much has turned up in the way of help.
Also, I forgot to mention, but I'm running PHP 5RC1 as an ISAPI module
and not CGI. Not sure if that helps.
Again, this problem is intermittent and does not occur all the time
(even when calling the same pages--sometimes I the graph generates
correctly, sometimes I get this error). I have narrowed down the error
to occurring only with the graph script.

Hello all,
I was going to build a function to check whether a selected date
exists, but thought that I would see if anyone has done this type of
thing already which would indeed save me some time.
I have a form where the users select the day of the week, month, date
and year from 4 pulldowns. (Saturday, March 20, 2004). I need to have a
function that will check to see if that is indeed a real date.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks a bunch :)

Your likely to find many ways to do this and many functions with many
lines of code that do many variations of what you want. Can I use the
word "many" many more times?
Such is the way with programming.
Here's my take on it. Pull all your values into one long string:
$date_string = "{$_POST["week_day"]}, {$_POST["month"]} {$_POST["day"]},
{$_POST["year"]}";
Now, you have a string in the format "Saturday, March 20, 2004".
Now, use strtotime() to figure out whether it's a valid date:
if (($timestamp = strtotime($date_string)) === -1) {
// Not a valid date; do some error reporting here
} else {
// It is a valid date, $timestamp is now a valid Unix
// timestamp of $date_string; use it like below:
echo date("m/d/Y", $timestamp);
}

I have just been to hotscripts.com looking under their php area for good
cms software. The sheer number of choices is staggering to say the
least. I found Smarty and it seems like it might make a good choice for
my needs. I am really looking to fill two needs.
One, a robust cms in which I can create standards based web templates
(ie, table less layouts using xhtml strict and css)
and Two, an easy method in which my clients can still edit their own
content with out having to learn anything new, or at least as little as
possible. Some sort of wysiwyg would be great if that's possible with
out conflicting with existing css styles and as long as it didn't insert
font tags and tables all over.
Is there a good open source php based cms system out there that can do
the above? I'd sure like to know about it. Thanks for any pointers!

Adam,
The question you ask is an important one. Is there a CMS out there that
meets your client's needs that you don't have to write from scratch? In
short, the answer is "no." I've sifted through mounds and mounds of
CMSes, and I haven't found one that I really like. It's really up to
your own tastes and the requirements of the project. I've always had to
write one from scratch due to project requirements. Though, I hope to
eliminate that need in the future with the CMS I am currently developing.
So, how can I help you? I can't tell you the name of an end-all-be-all
CMS solution. But I can point you to a place to look for open-source
solutions. That place is Sourceforge.net. Go there and search
Software/Group for "Content Management". You'll get tons of results.
Sift through those results and try the ones that sound like they fit
your needs. There're are a couple of notable ones that may fit your
requirements (e.g. phpWebSite boasts compliant XHTML 1.0 output--though
I've never tried it).

No :-(
There are some options that might interest you, like Drupal. But there
isn't anything like 'a perfect Open Source CMS'.

Hi,
There are a few steps to do befor you go ahead and choose a CMS.
One of them, is determining your needs.
Second is looking at the major projects and see how each of them answer
your needs.
The size of the community supporting the project.
Code quality (does it re-use existing code from the community ie: did
they recode their database abstraction layer or used PearDB)
How many database it support (mysql is good, but maybe you want to offer
the choice to your customer)
Is done in 00 ?
Does it have search engine friendly url by default (many cms generate
really long url)
Does it support many languages (in my case this is important to be able
to manage a multi-langual website).
And the most important one, Is it easy to modify and is their a good
user and programmer reference and manual.
Plus doing a set of bench mark might be interesting to do, to know how
many visitors the system can handle
If none answer exactly your need, (say 90%) why not code the 10% and
give it to the community instead of recoding the hole thing.
Coding such a system is complexe, and will require alot of energy, will
the community could provid most of the work.
Here are a couple website that could help you choose.
http://www.opensourcecms.com/
http://www.cmsreview.com/
http://www.cmsinfo.org/
Another quit way to get around the most popular CMS would be to attend
to our CMS debate (will be in french) at the PHP Quebec Conference.
In 2 hours we will go around the most critical needs that a CMS should
offer, and how the most popular project like :TikiWiki, Spip, Xoops,
Typo3, Zope, answer them.
Personally i use xoops for the PHP Quebec community website
http://www.phpquebec.org i also saw breifly tikiwiki seems a great
product.
Good luck.

You are reinventng the wheel try
`diff file1 file2`;
Jens Schmeiser wrote:
Dear list.
I want to compare two text files and print the differences. The text files
contain the structure of a database, so they are very big (>6000 lines).
The file looks like that:
TABLENAME#COLUMNNAME#DATATYPE#DATALENGTH#DATAPRECISION#NULLS
...
I only check if the datatype and nulls are different. If so, then the two
lines of the files will be printed.
I tried to do that and it works excellent if there aren't many differences,
but if there are many diffs, it takes time and time.
What I do now is to read the to files to an array and get the differences
with array_diff
$array1=file('file1.txt');
$array2=file('file2.txt');
$result1 = array_diff($array1,$array2);
$result2 = array_diff($array2,$array1);
After that I do the following:
foreach ($result1 as $line1) {
foreach ($result2 as $line2) {
// compare the two lines and show the differences;
continue;
}
}
Is there a better way to do that (and of course faster)?

Finally, may I ask a question? In my case, all of the PDFs that generated
from MS Word + Acrobat can be upload with the content-length=512KB, but the
PDFs generated from PageMaker, its content-length is greater than 512KB, why
the content-lengths are different?
Probably because they use two different libraries to produce the PDF. It
is an open standard and there are a handfull of different libraries out
there.
Sorry for my poor english.
Thanks for your help.
