Hi there, I know very little about PHP, but I was just curious to know
why exactly would some PHP code run fine from the command line but not
from the browser?
I'm just curious. I was working with someone else's PHP code that
supposedly created MySQL tables in a database and for some reason it
just wouldn't create the tables at all (no specific error message).
Someone suggested I run from the command line and when I did, it
worked...
Any help is truly appreciated.
thanks

The script you used was probably intended to run from the command line,
so it likely didn't send HTML headers, and didn't include HTML tags in
the output.
It's analguous to the way perl scripts can run from a command
line/terminal window vs. being run as a .cgi. The basic input/output
methods are different (input from a command line parameter vs. a
POST/GET; output to a terminal window vs. a web page).
Hopefully that helped a bit. =)

If you could produce the code we could see exactly what's going on,
but I suspect that it has to do with mysql_connect() command in PHP
that is not receiving the correct database connection information for
mySQL to open.

Sounds like root might own the files and apache can't execute them. Do a
ls -la and see who has ownership. You might need to chown them for apache.

Hi All,
Actually, the code is supposed to run from the browser (it's in the
instructions for setting it up).
Unfortunatelly I can't produce the code b/c it's paid for. Basically
my company paid for this bulletin board and it was just really a pain
to set it up. I had to find "creative" ways of making it work, like
running from the command line instead of from the browser as it was
listed in the instructions. Then, for each piece to work I had to go
into the page that was complaining and comment out stuff so that it
would work.
Anyhow, I was just curious. I was extremely disappointed with the
quality of the product that didn't run as smoothly as expected and
required different versions of software than what they had specified.
Also, just FYI, the MySQL connection did work, b/c prior to creating
the tables it tests for the connection and it says it's ok. Also,
after I finally installed the whole thing I can go ahead and create
users, post messages, etc, and it all gets recorded into the database.
Ok, guys, thanks a bunch for replying.

That rather strongly suggests that whatever user the server runs as hasn't
been granted permission to create tables but does have permission to access
them. Remember that "running a program through the browser" is a rather
sloppy bit of shorthand; it's the HTTP server that runs them, and the
server is almost certainly not running as the same user who's running the
browser.

Actually Eric, the user the server runs as had been granted permission
to create tables, as 1) an earlier version of this bulletin board had
no problem creating the tables and 2) another one of the test includes
creating and dropping tables.
Thanks for the reply and apologies for not having provided more info.

Obviously it is quite easy to make a string that is valid HTML and send

particular, image tags should print out as images, not image tags.

Hi,
I've written a program which has both a command line interface
and Windows form interface, however it isn't quite working
correctly.
When run from command line with no arguments it should display
the Windows form. The form is being displayed but the command
only returns when the form is closed. I want the command line to
return immediately, leaving the form displayed.

Many commands like 'whoami', 'zip', will work but many others such as

Any ideas?
