Make yourself a phpinfo() page. Your PHP configuration will be at the
top of the page. You can use that configure line to build/upgrade to
a newer PHP.

I see that, thanks - but if you'll forgive an ignorant question, what
do I do with that configure line?

Hi,
you need to get the appropriate php tarball from
http://www.php.net/downloads.php and check out this page:
http://www.geocities.com/tipsforlinux/articles/27.html
It will tell you how to:
- extract the sources
- run configure (this is where you use the configure line from phpinfo)
- install compiled binaries

You use it to configure your PHP for compilation.

Thank you! That fixed it. I just had to define the Oracle env
variables on the httpd startup script.
So that was a huge help :)

Hi all,
I'm trying to interface with verisign's payflow pro on windows using
the COM workaround.
This code was originally taken from an example listed with the manual
as a workaound for the fact that the php pfpro functions are not
supported on windows. It worked for some time until the server was
upgraded to windows 2003 server. Now, all calls to instantiate a COM
object return the boolean value 'true'
$pfpro_client = new COM('PFProCOMControl.PFProCOMControl.1');
// this line outputs 'true'
echo $pfpro_client;
//Connect to Verisign via COM object...
// this line gives a "call to a member function on a non object" error
$pfpro_context =
$pfpro_client->CreateContext($this->getURL(), 443,
24,"",0,"","");
I've tried other COM objects like "new
COM(InternetExplorer.Application)" and it also returns 'true'. Other
tests of the pfpro install are sucessful (asp, pfpro.exe), so i
believe the payflow config is correct. It just seems like the php com
integration is screwed up.
Any ideas?
thanks,
jon

Thank you Sebastian. Know that I not only appreciate your assistance,
but that I also make a genuine effort to learn from your example. I
think that it's about time that I learned to brew regexes. On my to

there are just two things you need to learn regular expressions:
the PHP-manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcre.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.regex.php
and the regex coach:

I dont see support for using ftruncate() on user defined stream
wrappers. When I try to truncate one I get an E_WARNING:
Warning: ftruncate() [function.ftruncate]: Can't truncate this stream!
Does anyone know of a way to truncate a user defined stream wrapper
using php's file system or stream functions?

Hi,
I have been told that in order to pass variables via passthru() to
another script (in my case, a perl script) one can do the following ...
passthru("home/test.cgi $var")
and that $var will then be passed through to the cgi.
I have tried this and failed.
Is this the proper format or is there something that I am missing.
Thanks,
chris

You may want to use exec first, so you can more easily capture the error
output and error codes.
exec("home/test.cgi $var", $output, $error);
if ($error){
//You should probably use error_log here in your real code...
//ASSUME this is going to break some day, for whatever reason.
//You'll need it logged unless you like dealing with error reports like:
//"Hey, the website broke yesterday."
echo "OS Error: $error<br />\n";
echo implode("<br />", $output);
exit;
}
echo $output;
Meanwhile, odds are *REALLY* good that you're not even calling the
test.cgi script because you haven't provide a path that PHP can use.
home/test.cgi would be assuming that home was in the same directory as
your PHP script, and even that is kinda iffy depending on where you do
this from the webserver or CLI...
I would recommend using FULL PATH to *everything* in exec (and passthru)
/full/path/to/home/test.cgi /full/path/to/any/args.txt
Also be sure to use the escapeshellargs function to make your $var data
kosher if it comes from the outside world.

You could use variable variables, but what you REALLY should do is change
your $foo1 $foo2 $foo3 into an array of $foo[1] $foo[2] $foo[3]
It will be MUCH easier!

did you tried foreach() with $_GET ( or $_REQUEST ) ?
foreach ( $_GET as $key => $var )
{
echo $key . ' => ' . $var;
}
but this is not "incrementing a register global" but 'accessing a
superglobale array'

Check your php.ini settings to be sure the ECGPS settings haven't revoked
$_SESSION getting populated...
It's pretty odd for somebody to do that, but it would fit the symptoms....

I want to write a trace procedure and call it with variable names, and I am
having trouble with the syntax. My goal is to have a procedure that will
echo lines such as:
Trace: $myvar="the contents of $myvar
My attempt that didn't work is to write a function:
function my_trace($m){
echo ("\n<br>TRACE: $m = ");
eval("\$t=\"$m\";");
echo($t."<br>\n");
}
and call it with statements like:
my_trace("\$my_var");
my_trace("\$_ENV[\"COMPUTERNAME\"]");
What am I doing wrong, and how should this be done? Also, should I post to
a different group?
Thanks,

Here's one way:
function my_trace ($varname, $varvalue)
{
$varvalue = print_r($varvalue, true);
echo "TRACE: $varname = \"$varvalue\"<br />";
}
my_trace("\$my_var", $my_var);
Another might be to look at the var_dump and var_export functions.

I don't know diddly-squat about this Firebird ibase stuff, but this sounds
to me like a network error message that your PHP machine can't get to the
Firebird machine.
Start at the lowest level.
Can you "ping 10.1.4.58" from your PHP box? It might be
configured/firewalled to not let you do "ping" so it's not REQUIRED that
ping work for your PHP script to work, but it's at least a start.

Ignore this for now -- It's a direct result of the first error.
> I was able to use isql to remotely connect using the parameters above.
Wow. Okay, that's way better than my ping test above...
Still, double check that this still works, just to be SURE.
> What am I not doing on the PHP end to get this to work?
PHP runs as the user defined by "User" directive in httpd.conf
Odds are really good your isql remote test was run by you logged in as,
errr, whatever Windows logs you in as, or whatever you log in as, if
you're on a Windows box that has logins, or... Well, anyway, it almost for
sure is not the same "User" as you have set in httpd.conf
In the ideal world, you'd know how to log into your Windows box as the PHP
User -- If you *DO* log in to your Windows box, then do this.
If not, JUST FOR TESTING, you could change the User setting in httpd.conf
to be, like, "Administrator" or whatever the Windoze root user is called
this week.
Restart Apache, and test.
If that works, you have narrowed it down to a permissions problem. God
only knows how you fix that under Windows, but it's the most likely source
of your problem.
The thing you *DO* *NOT* want to do, no matter what, is leave Apache
running as Administrator! Change it back immediately after your test.
If you have to choose between running PHP as Admin, and getting fired
because you can't make this work, start looking for a new job. It's that
important.

What you are missing is the RPM "apache-devel" or "httpd-devel" or
"somethinghereaboutapache-devel"
The "*-devel" RPMs essentially contain all the source code you WOULD have
if you had compiled from source, so PHP can find it.
If that doesn't work (and I can't guarantee it will) then you may want to
goahead and compile Apache from source, because that's easier than futzing
with the source RPMs to custom configure them, imho.
There also *MIGHT* be a "php-oracle" RPM out there...
It may not be on RedHat's server, and you should definitely do some due
diligence before installing RPMs from randomly-selected (Googled)
web-sites, but it might be easier to stay up-to-date in your current
process than remembering to check PHP versions, downoad, install etc.

This is Computer Software philosophical musing, not specifically related
to just PHP, but applicable to PHP and, well, all other OpenSource
software...
As I sit here surrounded by machines (physically and virtually) and
realizing that while I've got most of them on "auto-update" as much as I
can, or I've foisted off the updating on somebody else (for $$$) because I
just don't *WANT* to be a SysAdmin...
I'm still left with a lot of hours I'd have to invest to really be as
"current" as I'd like to be.
Let's take RedHat and other OSes, for example, only because I don't want
this to devolve into the "what version of PHP should I use" thread that
would be a hot button here. [Not that RedHat and or its versions aren't
almost as hot, but...]
I've got RedHat 8, RedHat 9, FC2, and FC3 on different machines here and
at client's sites.
Oh, and Win XP Home, just for fun, for testing stupid IE bugs.
I'd love to just move them all to FC3 (4 now?) but it would really be
painful, and a lot more hours than I have available.
Now, the thing is, it's finally gotten to the point where I'm willing to
let the OS authors/maintainers (RedHat) update my box for me, because,
with the current arms race in viruses and whatnot, that's got to be better
than my inability to stay on top of things, even if occasionally it breaks
something that actually worked before.
My philosophical question is:
Why can't the damn things just have an easy one-click button to go from
major version to major version, or if I'm willing to turn over control of
the OS versioning to RedHat (or whomever) just do it automatically?
Okay, I can accept that for Microsoft and other proprietary software,
that's a non-option, because they WANT to force you to BUY the new
version, though with their new subscription model... Well, let's not get
into THAT argument either. Forget the Windows box.
In the past, I've been told that the various pieces of software version
control and tracking means that you need the "clean break" of a major
release to keep sanity in versions.
I think that was true then, but is it really true now?
I mean, with all these fancy RPM/apt-get/cvs/svn thingies floating around,
and all the version control already inherent to those processes, and the
sheer amount of data being tracked by that...
Would it really break the bank to just have the OS go from major release
to major release without my spending days of my time shlepping data around
and dinking around with re-boots and CDRs and hard drives and whatnot?
I know a lot of you guys actually ENJOY that kind of stuff, and playing
with the new distro is your idea of a Good Time.
But is that what Joe Sixpack and Betsy Buick really want?
Are we really presenting the average user with the BEST software when they
can only use it a year or two before they have to spend a day fraught with
stress and wondering if their hardware and data will survive, just so they
can be something like remotely "current"?
How does that bode for our long-term prospects in today's arms race with
viruses and trojans and other Bad Guys?
We *KNOW* too many average users simply aren't going to upgrade, because
of that pain.
We *KNOW* that telling them they need to be current doesn't cut it.
Hell, even *WE* can't stay current on every box. I know I'm not alone here.
Why don't we actually solve this one, for those who are willing to let the
OS upgrade itself, with the technological "leap" of just keeping it
CURRENT even if it's from 4.4.13 to 5.0?
Am I just being crotchety here, or what? :-)

Yeah, looks cool, but I´m having a *lot* of trouble getting the listing of
current images and upload functionality to work. How and where do You set this
up? The documentation is very simple and yet confusing.
The filemanager image browser shows that I´m looking in "/", can´t seem to find
a setting for this anywhere
The upload doesn´t return an error, the JS "upload in progress" just hangs...

I should have mentioned that I´ve looked at the config file in
/FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/config.php :-)

Hi there!
I have a script that runs about 10 minutes... Localy on my computer (Windows
XP 2.6Ghz, Apache) the computer hangs a little now and then when the script
is running. Is there any good way of releasing more memory while the script
is running? The script could take 20 minutes, it's not a big matter how long
the script takes. (As long as the server can do other things at the same
time)
(In production environment, the php-script is on Apache and Linux (if it
matters))
