Hello, I'm a *novice* at both using PHP and UNIX, and came across a problem while trying to modify an ex-coworkers PHP code for printing. The original script sent one huge print job to our printing server, which worked fine since we weren't printing duplex. We'd like to now split the jobs up and send them individually, which we easily...

Why do I want to do this you ask? We are going to have anywhere from 60 to 100 drifters in the ocean sending back gps data and a table of that data...

Hi Everyone, I am using the following code (many thanks for the code folks BTW) to generate 3 schedules in three tables one is a schedule with 7 day intervals and two are daily schedules. The two daily schedules seem to have out of sync dates at the start of each schedule. The dates look as if they may be dates from the preceding loop.

Hi, I need to perform full text searches on a batch of PDF and Word files. What is the best way to go? After some research, I'm thinking of extracting the plain text from the files with "pdftotext" and "catdoc", hamonizing the various possible encodings to UTF-8, storing the text in a MySQL database, and then using the full text search...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to propose this piece of code which is searching recursively a value in an array... and let you indicate me if there is an error... function in_array_recursive($array, $val) { $r = false; if(is_array($array))

I made a little PHP thingy where you can search for any string of numbers in the first 8 million digits of pi. However, they're currently stored in ASCII, which means it's 2bytes for a digit, and it's horribly inefficient. I used perl to pack it as 2 digits a byte, basically storing it as hex without A-F. My problem is, I need a fast way...

I have a query where I need to join several tables, one of which is variable (otherwise I'd just hand-code the query).

Once the file is read into an array I should be right. I don't want to keep a copy of the file uploaded either, as once it is imported I will have no use for it.

I have been searching the 'Net, and I can't find the right solution here. I am writing some PHP pages that utilize some Javascript. The script works in Mozilla/Netscape, but fails in IE. I don't know if it's the Javascript or the PHP that is causing the problem. I started with an example in a book and added on. The script I'm using is:...
