Is it possible to get PHP to do certain tasks at the same time? Like grab the content of 3-4 xml files at the same time so you dont wait on one, then retrieve the second, the third and so on? I have been asked to code something that will require this to happen (for the sake of runtime), and while I know I can do this using other languages...

I am looking for an example of php code that accesses a mysql table using SSL (php v4.3.10). I have php code on serverA and some mysql tables on serverB (located on the other side of the internet ;-) to serverA). I want to retrieve data in the php script on serverA using normal selects etc over a ssl connection from serverB. Any help would...

I'm looking to create a dynamic jump menu/list menu that will enable me to navigate to a particular record by selecting a value from the list, however the list is dynamically generated from the recordset. Situation is: I have a modification page for football players profiles and want to add a dynamically generated list to allow me to select...

Hi, I'm working on a new web application (php5.1 + postgresql) and i wanted to have seperated files for each class and use __autoload and i have everything split to classes now. This makes my pages need to include a lot of files each request. Do this a huge overhead? I mean shall i go for gigantic function definition scripts and include all...

Hello, I use php4.4.1 and when a user log in I use a class which stores some info for the user. I serialize the class in a session variable. I later on read the session var and unserializd to check for certain user info. When I moved the files to my host server which uses php4.3 I noticed a strange behaviour. The first time I unserialize...

Hi, My hostingprovider just updated to PHP 4.4. Since that time I have problems using the mail() function in PHP. I can't send headers anymore and my provider don't know what's wrong. Here's a sample script: if (mail("xxx@xxx.com", "test mail", "This is a <B>test</B>!", "From:

Ok. Can PHP control a form value directly? Eg. like the javascript "document.Form1.text01.value = "Y"". Eg. allow me to put a value into a form text field on page load. Either I missed this in my PHP book or the function does not exist. The only way I have seen is to put code in the value part of the input item, see below. Thanks

Hi there. I've written a simple program that makes a simple GET form with a text input box and displays $_GET when submitted. Using Windows Character Map, I pasted in the Cyrillic capital "Ya" (the backward R) and it came out as "Я". So far so good. Then I sent in " Я" (The is the Cyrillic character again.) That came out as "Я Я". How...

I have a web app that is forms intensive. These forms have a number of dropdown lists, check box, etc., each which requires additional processing, db calls, etc. On an item changed, I post back the form and set a hidden field to tell PHP what changed so it knows what to process. Is there a preferred way to handle this type of forms...

Helo, my first post here.... I am trying to run an agent application that converts and imports two tables from MS Access into mySql. (Intelligent Converters - Access2mySql) I have run similar scripts to do mysql dumps using the system function. Not sure if the paths included in the parameters are correct: <?php function import_data() {

geez, i've done this a million times, you'd think i could get it right. uploading to production server for a new site, and part of the head.inc that starts everything up looks like this: echo SMARTY_DIR."Smarty.class.php<br>"; require_once(SMARTY_DIR."Smarty.class.php"); if (substr(phpversion(),0,1) == "4") { $smarty = new Smarty;

Hi, I want to deliver subscripted content to users on CD. They then place the CD into their CD drive and navigate to my site. Once logged in, I want to be able to draw content from the CD and incorporate it with content from my server. I understand that access to the user's filesystem is not normal or even allowed by default. However I...

Quite a lot of my data has apostrophes in. I'm passing the data using $_POST and urlencode. So, for example, Joe's becomes Joe%27s. On the next page, I urldecode and display the name in the META title. It comes out as Joe\'s. When I pass it once again, it becomes Joe\\\'s. What am I doing wrong here?

Okay, I've come up with hacky workarounds every time I build an app, and now I just need some tips on how to do this correctly and efficiently. I usually have a head.inc and/or a constants.inc with definitions like (SITE_ROOT,$_SERVER."/myApp); (VERSION,"0.6.2"); (APP_ROOT, SITE_ROOT."/".VERSION); (SMARTY_DIR, APP_ROOT . "/smarty");...

Hallo, ich würde gerne zwei Zeitangaben im Format hh:mm:ss addieren. z.B.: 00:01:50 + 01:02:12 = 01:03:02 gibt es in PHP Funktionen mit denen ich Zeiten in diesem Format addieren kann? Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with kind regards

I have an application I have written in MS Access 2002. It is a very basic inventory system for keeping track of information about our Unix(solaris to be specific) servers. Other admins may want to use it shortly and running MS Access over the WAN is no picnic. It was suggested that I port to php and MySql. Having no experience with...

I am running a Win 2000 professional machine on my desk (unfortunately). I use Apache/PHP for test purposes, for running a little intranet server, and I am going to have a student help me with some coding. Is there anything like the "nobody" id in UNIX where I can set apache to run where it can't do too much damage? thanks.

Hello all, I am trying to figure out when it is appropriate to use shared and exclusive locks with InnoDB. Using shared locks (lock in share mode), I can easily create a scenario with 2 clients that deadlocks - start 2 transactions, open 2 shared locks, and both try to insert a new row before either commits. Using exclusive locks (for...

preg_match_all( "/(EXIF_Caption_Cell (Windows XP -.*?) <pre> (.*?)<\/pre>.*?/", $meta_str, $out, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER ); So I get two values per each string ($meta_str) loaded into the array $out. What I really want to do capture these as $1 and $2 and concatenate them and read that into a variable. The code above reads it into an array -...
