Then i tried konqueror browser worked like a charm

Gentlemen, i think others in the group must be pretty annoyed about this thread shall we hop over to a java group?

Raditha -

I am using NS 7.1 running in Windows 2000. Which version of Netscape are you running?

This certainly is a strange situation.....

No HTML shows in the Editor window on startup with NS; it is there with IE.....

HI,

I tried it on netscape and it works. My jre is 1.4.2. AFAIK this is the only stable jre after 1.3xx series. It's a simple matter to add a line of code to the java applet to do the base64 decoding if you are concerned about compatibility.

On the point raised about activex : The default plug in for ie (extremely crappy) is in fact an activex but that does not mean your applet behaves like an activex.



Todd Cary wrote:

Dan -

I am surprised that an Open Source applet would rely on ActiveX. It appears that there is something I am not doing correctly in setting the DATA param for Netscape.

Please overlook my ignorance about browsers and applets as I try to get a better understanding, but is BASE64 encoding/decoding a feature of IE and not , possibly, of Netscape?

Todd

Dan Anderson wrote:

why does it work in IE and not in Netscape 7.1?




I'm pretty sure ActiveX controls don't run on anything besides MS
Windows Lockinware (TM). There are a number of other things that
netscape does not fully support (try loading a page with an iframe tag
in Netscape). You probably ran into another such problem.

Hi,

i've checked a hundred things before posting this question, but i forgot the

The 'eaten' writes were buffered by the network-kernel and sent as bunch of
data. If too much data for the buffer is sent, the write is broken up and
completed in the next bunch-of-data.
My receive-script hasn't diplayed the raw output, but an unserialized array,
fetched out of the received string.

Maybe this will will help someone in future.

Subject: [PHP] socket_write eats data




Hi,

I am deveoping a chatserver in IRC-style in PHP. For communication it uses
socket-multiplexing aka socket_select. So long so good, works perfectly.
The problem is, than when i make several socket_write's to the same client
without waiting about 0.1sec after each write, the written data gets lost
somewhere. socket_write does NOT throw any error, the data seams just
sended, but the clients never receives it.

Small example of the used code:
-----
var $clients // array of 'client'-objects, each object has it's own
socket-descriptor in the object-variable $socket

function write_to_clients ($text) {
 for ($i = 0; $i < count ($this->clients); $i++) {
   socket_write ($this->clients[$i]->socket, $text);
 }
 // usleep (10000); if this is uncommented, all write are received by all
clients
}

for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
   $this->write_to_clients ("test ".$i);
}
-----

Okay, this doesn't check the client-sockets for readiness to write, but


even


if I check (via socket_select), ALL clients are ready to write and writes
get lost too. It can't be the network-connection, because the tests run


with


standalone PHP-clients on the same machine.

Is there any possibility to make fast writes without waiting after each
write? The wait limits the server to max. 10 writes per second, wich isn't
really enaugh for a good chatserver.

Thanks for your help!

No, it's TCP and a very uncomplicated protocol, everything is sent in clear
text. Major problem is the socket-multicasting to keep track of all clients
simultanly.

IMAP? We were talking about IRC, the Internet Relay Chat.
In detail, my problems doesn't even refer to IRC directly, as i am
developing a server for a html-based webchat, but the server-structure and
the messages are nearly the same.
Once you realize the basics of socket-multicasting, it is no problem to
maintain hundreds of simultanous TCP-connects via arrays of sockets, also
called descriptor-sets. PHP seems to directly use the underlying C-
libraries, so everything you can imagine is possible.
Anyway, the major drawback of PHP in this case is speed. Currently i can
send about seven messages per second (one send means socket-connect of a
input client, some simple processing of the message and sending it to all
connected listening clients) with a dozen listening clients, but only about
three messages per second with two hundred listening clients. As C-written
IRC-servers sometimes have thousands of connected clients, i can only
imagine that it is PHP which has some not so efficent array- or
resource-handling.

Hello I was wondering if someone could help me out.

Trying to submit form to frame and pass php var at the same time.

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function submitform(){
top.admin.document.adminform.submit();
}
//--></script>

and...

<frameset rows="538,83" cols="*">
  <frame src="admin.php?order=1" name="admin" id="admin">
  <frame src="status.php" name="status" scrolling="auto" id="status">
</frameset>


Link look like:     <a href="javascript:submitform();"
target="_parent">Delete</a>

What I need to do though, is run this exact script while passing
($delete=yes) as php at the same time?  Basically, run the form and if
delete=yes then use the following form tag :  <form name=adminform
method=post action=setup.php?delete=yes  target=_parent>

Any ideas?  Thanks Brandon

No, only the button that is clicked will be set.

i generally use a button type and onclick document.location.href to enforce
an action in the get variable like something.php?action=something

I wouldn't rely on Javascript...

apologies i generally use this system for deleting records, i give a
confirm box if they press ok it goes to another action, i suppose i should
change this system to submit the form instead and check for the post var ?
i guess at least it could store the http_referer then :\

If you're talking about presenting a list of records and using a button to delete a record, then you should use a method such as this...

<input type="submit" name="delete[xx]" value="Delete">

Where "xx" is the record_id (or equivalent). Then, when the form is submitted, you just look for $_REQUEST['delete'], make sure it's an array, grab the key using key(), and delete that record.

Simple, eh? :)

If you want an easy method for presenting a list of records and radio buttons for each record with different statuses (like open, closed, pending, delete, etc), and handling the status changes, check out my column in the latest issue of php|architect. :)

my form action usually looks like this

some.php?action=update&ID=1

my update will look like update table set *** where _rowid=$_GET['ID']

so therefore its globally used. i'd use the id from the get var

but i guess in the delete function i could place this within the update
action so

case 'update':
delete(tablename);
update(tablename);
break;

i dont tend to like this becuase it'll be in the same action which is why i
tried the location.href way to send it to a different action, as both the
update and delete buttons are within the same form, i'm sure u could have a
delete button in a list although this leads to problems as users generally
would like the delete button in the update/view screen so they know exactly
what they are deleting so therefore which is why the buttons are in the
same form, any ideas ?

I almost fell for this and updated my code. Then I decided to read the
spec for myself and noticed that it doesn't say anywhere that % is ok
either *grin*.

  - ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and
    may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]),
    hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods
    (".").

Cheers,
Rob.

Normally to change a sites include directory for PHP I'd use a .htaccess file and the following command:

php_value include_path ".:/path/to/web/"

Again normally, I would get the path to the site by doing a simple phpinfo(); command and find the _ENV["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] line near the end of the phpinfo(); page.

I've just setup an account with a shared hosting provider - I'm not fully sure if they allow me to use .htaccess or not, I've got a call into tech support but waiting is boring. So while I wait - is there a better or more accurate way of determining the actual path to my site on their server? I'm sure it has been written into PHP to specifically not allow this - just curious.

Secondly, if it is proven that my host does not allow .htaccess - is there another way for me to change the include directory from its default and into my sites root?

This current site isn't all that large, so I could live without changing the include path - but my next job (which is already committed to this same host) is fairly large and will be a necessity for the change to occur.

Thanks
-Tim

You will be able to get it the same way. Just look at a phpinfo() page or print the value of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].

Secondly, if it is proven that my host does not allow .htaccess - is there another way for me to change the include directory from its default and into my sites root?

You can use ini_set().

You can do this at the top of each page if all else fails

ini_set('include_path','new_include_path:'.ini_get('include_path'));

(Use a ; as the separator if on windows)
This puts your directory first in the search path

Why this happen with me with IIS
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

In detail, my problems doesn't even refer to IRC directly, as i am
developing a server for a html-based webchat, but the server-structure and
the messages are nearly the same.

Yes my questions was how are you going to maintain the connection between two different connectsion. As far as i know sockets cannot be serialized in php4.

Once you realize the basics of socket-multicasting, it is no problem to
maintain hundreds of simultanous TCP-connects via arrays of sockets, also
called descriptor-sets. PHP seems to directly use the underlying C-
libraries, so everything you can imagine is possible.

Thanx i am aware of it
