Errr ... says who?
I'm out of a job here if this is true as I'm doing quite a bit of PHP
development on NT/IIS with both MySQL and MS Access (not my choice, but a
clients).
I'm quite happy with NT but I'll be switching over to Linux later in the
year - company policy to gradually move away from Win to Linux for servers.
I'd look at security as the main argument.

Firstly Sebastian I would try to find out his reasoning for it - there may
be something that you don't know. ie, does he have something else that he
wishes to run on the same server that will only run under a Windows box?
> I know that PHP under windows is intended to be used only as test

I disagree with you on this :) Although I generally push for Linux wherever
I can, the reality is that many clients do run Windows exclusively for
internal operations and don't have the in-house capability to manage Linux
boxes. We have quite a number of installations that run fine under Windows.

I'd suggest trying to work with the guy rather than against him. Find out
his reasoning and then this way you can look at the positive and negative
aspects of what he is trying to do. I know that this isn't the answer that
you were expecting, but it's the approach that I would take

Perhaps back when php3 was new and apache was strugling with windows,
it was considered test platform.

Its kind of difficult to come up with reasons not to use IIS without
knowledge of:
1. Who and what experience does he(she) have in administrating these
Windows servers.
2. What kind of application do you intend write in php.

Maybe, I just remembered that warning and actually I can't find such
one in PHP manual/installation notes.
Does the same apply to MySQL?

One of the reasons I (we) don't want to move to Windows and IIS is
that person being administrator of that box knows less than he thinks
he knows ;) and surely server is not well configured and protected..
Beside that site now works on Linux server without any problems and
moving it will cause only pointless work. But moving to IIS is
decision made by someone "above" me so without good reasons against I
can't stop that. And believe me - there is really no need to move to
IIS.

I have no experience with MySQL server on windows, therefore I can't
comment on that.

That always seems to be the case... expecially when this issue comes up.

I don't understand then why they want to move, it seems that what you
just said proves to be the strongest case... if it aint broke, leave it
alone.
I know this has been discussed plenty of times, have you searched the
archives? There might be some good points made on this already.

First of all, security.. Windows is full of security holes
Second, a Win2k server ussually needs to be rebooted after several days of
running
A Linux box usually stays months and months running without any problem
without having to touch it
I got a Linux box running Apache + PHP + MySQL, Postfix + amavisd + uvscan,
cistron-radiusd plus some other things, and it has an uptime of 388 days.
And it works as the first day!!! I will pay the one who can achieve that
with Windows..
Third, Apache + PHP + MySQL rock, they are very well integrated

In windows, strtotime only works from 1/1/1970. In linux can work with
any date.

Actually, IIS is much worse than the Windows OS. In fact, the Gartner Group
(suits typically respect their opinion) has recommended that it not be used in
production (http://www3.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?doc_cd=101034). If security
is of no concern to management, mention the fact that IIS has a much higher TCO
than Apache for similar reasons. Money is always a concern. :-)
If you receive pressure to move away from Linux (a server OS) to Windows (a
desktop OS) for use as a server, ask if you can move to Mac OS X instead. While
Mac OS X is actually a saner choice (it is based on a server OS now), Apple's
marketing has not been as effective as Microsoft's in this area, and most
people tend to think of Macs as desktop computers. So, if moving to Mac seems
like a poor choice, and you can illustrate how Mac is actually a compromise,
you might open some eyes. :-)
If all else fails, quit. That might be difficult depending on the job market,
but I would try to not sacrifice my life (work takes up a significant portion
of it) due to other people's poor decisions. There is too much useful stuff out
there you can learn and spend your time doing.
Hope that helps.

References? AFAIK, this is not true.
Win2k server and up (advanced server, datacenter server) are meant for
high availability, especially datacenter server.

this isn't something that PHP could handle on it's own, well, it COULD, but

um, what about moving to linux and use cron?
But if you want to try it on satanic Windows: SINC
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/sinc/) can be used to start programmes but
also to invoke PHP scripts. I was not so happy with the little windows
popping up and away whenever a PHP file was activated but then i got it
moved to a windows server and that's not a workstation so the flashing
windows where no pain.

I really don't know what I'm talking about here, but I think you have to
register those scheduled tasks. Is the registry ok?

Just a random suggestion, but how about having one scheduled task, and
it's job is to run the 26 jobs you are presently trying to run as
scheduled tasks. You reduce the load on MSW's scheduling, and you get
more control over things like which tasks have to complete before others
run.
Of course, moving it all to Linux or one of the BSDs might help, but you
might also want to check the design -- maybe there are some
interdependencies, so that it would help to be able to make sure certain
tasks are done before others, and that they all finish before starting
over.
I did a little script to mail out files on a regular basis. A co-worker
wrote a C program that was called by the MSW2k scheduler, and that C
program checked that my mailing script had completed before it tried to
start another instance of the script.

have a look for a file similar to this one and delete it, that should
get your scheduler running again while you upgrade to linux :)

hi,
1. for mime-types try rfc2046. there are two top-level media types for you:
'audio' and 'video'. the subtypes depend on your media files.
2. to send files simply as attachment you can use
'application/octet-stream'. or use a readymade php-mime-mail-class.

As far as I'm concerned, the primary benefit of classes is that you
don't clutter up your namespace. If you have, for instance,
$accesses->count, you know more about that count than if you have
just $count. It's a method of organizing your code that doesn't (once
you get used to it) get in the way.
Also, you can be really sure that $accesses->resetCounter() is somehow
related to $accesses->count, whereas $accesses_count and
accesses_resetCounter() might win your confidence incorrectly. Or maybe
you slip and use access_resetCounter() instead, which might be the cause
of no end of grief.
(You know that $accesses->count and $accesses->resetCounter() are at
least declared in the same class declaration. $accesses_count and
accesses_resetCounter() could be declared in entirely unrelated include
files for entirely different purposes.)

Execution speed isn't all that matters. In fact, speed is not the point

I think he's trying to point you to the mind-set. Do you like complex
puzzles with intricate interactions where you have to keep tens of
thousands of lines of code constantly in your head? Or do you like to
focus on several hundred lines at a time, get those to behave, then move
on to another part with a fairly high level of confidence that you won't
shoot yourself in the foot by using the wrong count or resetCount()
somewhere?

If I understand you correctly, this is in fact an HTML question. To make a
drop down box default to a particular value you add "SELECTED" (without the
quotes) somewhere within the <OPTION> tag.

Hello all:
I am having a hard time with a small piece of code. I was wondering
if someone may be able to explain why the following code will not work... I
have been scratching my head for a few hours now and I am stumped.
<?php
header("Location: http://someplace.com");
if( ! headers_sent())
header("Location: http://somplaceelse.com");
?>
So I would expect this piece of code to direct me to somplace.com.
However it does not, and I always end up at somplaceelse.com.
I have done a tcpdump to assist with debugging here is the output below.
From the look of it the first header is getting ignored all toghether. Is
there some way to force changes I made to the headers, that will make
headers_sent return TRUE?
Thanks,
-James

according to the php doc, online the headers are not affected by the
Output Buffer,
so any functions that manipulate the OB should have no effect. flush I
do not beleive
will fix this issue. (* I have tested it and it did not *)
Still need a good way to accomplish this.

At this point, you have specified that you want the header "Location: http://someplace.com" to be sent when headers are sent -- but headers are not sent until you output some actual content to your page. So...
> if( ! headers_sent())
... headers haven't been sent yet, so this test always triggers, so...
> header("Location: http://somplaceelse.com");
... this call always executes, specifying that, actually, you want *this* Location header to be sent when headers are sent, not the one specified before.
I haven't the faintest idea what you might be trying to achieve here, but I think you need to rethink the logic of how you choose which redirect to use.
Cheers!

Hello all:
I am having a hard time with a small piece of code. I was wondering
if someone may be able to explain why the following code will not
work... I
have been scratching my head for a few hours now and I am stumped.
<?php
header("Location: http://someplace.com");

So I would expect this piece of code to direct me to somplace.com.
However it does not, and I always end up at somplaceelse.com.
I have done a tcpdump to assist with debugging here is the output below.
From the look of it the first header is getting ignored all toghether.
Is
there some way to force changes I made to the headers, that will make
headers_sent return TRUE?
[/snip]
First of all, let's not call something a bug unless we are pretty darn
sure about it. Let's just call it a problem...
Second, from http://www.php.net/headers_sent "You can't add any more
header lines using the header() function once the header block has
already been sent. Using this function you can at least prevent getting
HTTP header related error messages. Another option is to use Output
Buffering."
Also, do those spaces exist in your code? If so you may want to change;
if( ! headers_sent())
to
if(!headers_sent())
HTH!

There's nowt wrong there -- both of those are functionally identical. The
extra spaces are ignored by PHP, so the difference is purely cosmetic.

The second parameter specifies whether it will overwrite an existing
parameter. I think it is unpredictable on which Location header the
browser will actually use.

Your second call to header() uses the same header name, thus that header
(Location) is replaced with http://someplaceelse.com. The code works as
expected.
If you expected your conditional statement to fail, you are probably confusing
headers_sent() to mean something like have_i_used_the_header_function_yet().
The headers are all sent at once, regardless of how many times you use
header(). This function helps people avoid receiving the headers already sent
warning, and as long as you have no output yet in your script, you should still
be able to make changes to the headers.
Hope that helps.

I’m making an authentication script with groups and roles. This function
checks if the groups the user belongs to specified groups and compares
them to the groups required. However, since this is a loop, the function
doesn’t return true or false as expected. If I call the function and
require 3 groups, and the user belongs to only one of them, he is still
accepted. Is this method right thinking? Should I make the function stop
somehow when it returns false for the first time? All suggestions and
comments are appreciated. Thanks.
This is the function:
function require_groups() {
if (!isset($this->user['groups'])) {
$this->user['groups'] =
$this->get_user_groups($this->id);
}
$groups = func_get_args();
foreach ($groups as $value) {
if
(!isset($this->user['groups'][$value]) ||
!$this->user['groups'][$value]) {
return false;
}
else{
return true;
}
}
}
And I call it like this: require_groups(“admins”,
“moderators”,“members”);
This returns true.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is going to help or not.. Since I understand
your issue only barely.. If I understand correctly, regardless of whether
the user comes from a.php, b.php or z.php, if they're not authenticated on
the system (via sessions or cookies) then the only place for them to go is
login.php. RIGHT???
Here's my 2 cents. (part of code I'm working on)
=========login.php===============
if ( check_if_authenticated() ) <--- I have this fucntion located at the
top of a.php,b.php,c.php

header_refresh_html("home.php"); <--- Function call -> back to

{
top_html();
display_welcome_msg_html();

Thanks to all, I got it working - sort of. It works perfectly on
Windows, but will not work on Linux. I am using the same versions of
PHP, Apache and MySQL on both. I have asked this before and have been
told they are interchangeable, but more times than not I have to make a
bunch of changes to get it to work on Linux - and this is just another
example. I use Windows to do all the coding and design as it has all the
tools. Linux is just a bare bones box with no gui or tools. The php.ini
and httpd.conf are the same on both platforms (other than what is needed
for the specific platform). This makes it a real pain.
Oh well, back to my debugging.

Use the code that Grant Rutherford posted earlier, its the same concept
just a whole lot more flexible than mine. Not to mention a bit more
secured.

From the on-line docs, regarding $_SESSION (at
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.sessi
on):
"This is a 'superglobal', or automatic global, variable. This simply means
that it is available in all scopes throughout a script. You don't need to do
a global $_SESSION; to access it within functions or methods, as you do with
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS."
So, this gets more perplexing.
I should also note that I did try to use the global keyword, and it didn't
help. Also, I tried setting the $_SESSION variables in question to
something else ($_SESSION["fname"] = " ") before calling the function.
Didn't help either.
I have just never had a problem with sessions before. But I'm guessing it's
my code, as I can replicate the behavior on three different installations of
PHP/Apache.

No that is incorrect.
<snip session_register()>
CAUTION:
If you are using $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS), do not use
session_register(), session_is_registered(), and session_unregister().
</snip>
What happens if you register session_register('username') is that the
$_SESSION['username'] namespace is dedicated to the global variable
$username.
So, if in your script after your block of code, you use the variable
$username (global scoped) then your $row['username'] value you assigned
in $_SESSION['username'] is gone.

It means that you can't use session_register. With register_globals off,
you can on directly manipulate the $_SESSION array.

Wow, thanks. The only thing that I'm doing differently is that the function
is part of an included file (via 'require'). Would that change anything?

OK, here's more fuel for the fire. When passed to this function, $userArray
is 31 elements long. The initial function I was using (and posted) was only
grabbing 6 of those. I changed my function to grab all of them:
function setupUserEnv ($userArray) {
$_SESSION['loggedIn'] = 1;
foreach($userArray as $key=>$value) {
echo "Assigning $key = $value<br>";
$_SESSION[$key] = $value;
}
}
Thanks to the echo statements, I see all 31 getting assigned. However, when
I exit this function, and var_dump($_SESSION), only 6 are assigned!
Wracking my brain.....

The only thing i can think, mabey, is size limit? how long are these
values your assigning?

Thanks again.

Not long at all.
Now I'm (possibly) getting somewhere:
When I modify the function to be this (notice the key name change by adding
"s"):
function setupUserEnv ($userArray) {
$_SESSION['loggedIn'] = 1;
foreach($userArray as $key=>$value) {
echo "Assigning $key = $value<br>";
$_SESSION[$key."s"] = $value;
}
}
It works! Now, I don't really want to do this. It impacts other code.
These names match the columns in my database table. Frankly, I don't
understand why it refuses to register variables with the names I've chosen!
I can add anything to those keys (e.g. $_SESSION["g".$key]), but not use my
names! The key names that I'm trying to assign are:
loggedIn, uid, id, password, fname, lname, email, altemail, birthdate
hphonenum, wphonenum, cphonenum, street, mailstop, city, state
zip, country, weburl, freelance, coname, costreet, comailstop
cocity, costate, cozip, cotype, jobtitle, status, dateadded
dateapproved, lastlogin
Anything illegal about any of those names that is making PHP go nutty? I'm
assigning them in that order, and out of those, only 6 stay set (loggedIn,
uid, status, dateadded, dateapproved, lastlogin) .
What in the world....?

Why not just
$_SESSION['userArray'] = $userArray;
??
Then $_SESSION['userArray']['fname'] to access the values, for example.

You don't need those two lines, they are only needed if ini.register_globals
is on and you want the variables $logged and $user to automatically be
sessioned as:
$_SESSION['logged']
$_SESSION['user']
<quote>
With $_SESSION, there is no need to use the session_register(),
session_unregister(), session_is_registered() functions. Session
variables are accessible like any other variables.
</quote>
I think this is were your problem is.
Also what php version?
<quote CAUTION>
If you are using $_SESSION and disable register_globals, do not use
session_register(), session_is_registered() and session_unregister(), if
your scripts shall work in PHP 4.2 and earlier. You can use these
functions in 4.3 and later.

Yes.
If you use only the $_SESSION array to set/get the values of your session
variables, you do not need (and, in some versions of PHP, MUST NOT use)
session_register() or any of its friends.
The proper coding for what you are doing above is:
session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = $row['username'];
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $row['user_id'];
$_SESSION['access_level'] = $row['access_level'];
and
if (isset($_SESSION['user_id']) )
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
(or even just
return isset($_SESSION['user_id']);
! ;)
Cheers!

I'll try to clear this up for you. I'm going to see if I can get the
documentation on the web site fixed also. It is rather confusing.
There appears to be two ways to do sessions:
'---------------------------
Style 1 (discuraged use):
'---------------------------
session_start(); // start the session
session_register('var'); // register global $var as session var
$var = $row['var']; // assign global $var a value
// now the session will save the value
// that is inside $var as long as its global
// scoped
// check to see if $var is registered with the session handler
if ( session_is_registered('var') ) {
// session is registered but doesn't gaurentee
// that a value is inside of it.
// so check to see if there is a value
&nbs
