[PHP] How to install php5 on Fedora Core2
I have some difficulties when installing php5.0.2 on FC2 I used the default settings: ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs build build install The installation is complete but when I test phpinfo() in a .php file from browser, the browser says "Can't find the server" My FC2 is fully installed and I don't know why the php module doesn't work. I doubt if there is some manual settings are need during the configuration/make/make install, or there is some setting after the installation such as change the default httpd.conf or /etc/php.ini I type php -v, the version is fine, php -i is also correct. But I can't make it work through http. Thanks in advance for any kindly help! eruisi 10/03/2004 04:00:59 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Retrieving large results from a database ends in memory error.
Hi Guys
I am trying to retrieve over 5000 rows from a mysql database, i have
to use a "SELECT *" query as i am required to use all the fields for
display.
Everytime i try to run the code below i get a Allowed memory size of
10485760 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 40 bytes). Now if i change
php's memory limit in the php.ini file to something like 80MB then its
fine, but i can't be guarantied that the person who this code is for
will be able or willing to access their php.ini file.
Basically what i am asking is there a better way to write this query
so i can still retrieve all the results from the database without
running into memory issues ? should i break it up into chunks and put
it through a loop ?
Any assitance on retriving large amout of info from a db would be most
appreciated.
THis is the basic code i am using:
$q = "SELECT * FROM `users` ORDER BY UserID";
$r = mysql_query($q) or die("There has been a query error: ".mysql_error());
if($getR = mysql_fetch_array($r,MYSQL_ASSOC)){
do {
$userarray[] = $getR;
}
while($getR = mysql_fetch_array($r));
echo 'Done retrieved '.count($getR).' records.';
}
else {
echo 'there has been an error retrieving the results.';
}
Thanks

Use mysql_unbuffered_query()

Re: [PHP] How do I produce a random database query for each day or week?
My idea on your problem would be to use a random sql-query selecting a
cd from your database.
SELECT * FROM my_table ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1;
This could be placed in a script that is executed only by the first
user in a week and the result is stored e.g. in a text file and
included in any later call of your website. It's too early in the
morning for details (I just stood up), but if you have questions about
realization please ask.

Re: [PHP] How to install php5 on Fedora Core2
Surely apache is running. And I checked httpd.conf. There is no "LoadModule php4.x.x ...". Anyother settings should be removed? The first time I installed php5.0.0, I forgot to add --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs. It works but the version is 4.3.8 as phpinfo() shows. When I added this option, the php didn't work anymore. But the apache works fine. The browser can read .html files. Anyone can help me?

There are two ways... you can either compile in the extensions using the appropriate ./configure settings (see "./configure --help" for all available settings), or you can try and find prebuilt extensions and place them in the appropriate extensions dir (for php4 /usr/lib/php4 under redhat, you may want to create a separate one for php5), then you will need to add a .ini file for the module at /etc/php.d/ which loads the prebuilt extension. There are often RPMs that do all this for you, but I don't know that any exist for php5 yet.

Because it is an hack to work around the lack of support for detection of corrupted data in zlib. In the end you will be able to handle the failure of zlib but you will not be able to tell whether it failed because the file was too large to decompress or because it failed due to corrupted data. I think it would be better that zlib would be able to detect corrupted data so you could eventually tell the user that the file is corrupted instead of misleading with a message saying there was not enough memory. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Using PHP4 or PHP5
I would say PHP5, for sure. PHP5 is much better in nearly every way, and more and more people are using it every day. Also, for the most part, PHP4 is backwards compatible with PHP5, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Re: [PHP] How to install php5 on Fedora Core2
Howdy, Redhat is notorious for leaving out things, such as apxs. To get php working, you will most likely have to download apache, build it, and install it. Make sure you configure apache with --enable-so. After apache builds, do make install. And then, when configuring php, do ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs That should work just fine. You can still have your old apache installed at the same time, just don't use it. Copy the config files from the old apache, and do /etc/init.d/httpd stop, then startup the other apache (probably /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd), and php should be working perfectly -- Regards, Matthew Fonda On Sun, 2004-10-03 at 07:03, Robert Cummings wrote: > On Sun, 2004-10-03 at 09:43, Teng Wang wrote: > > Surely apache is running. > > And I checked httpd.conf.

So basically, you want to put a link around "foo", only if it doesn't already have one, right? The problem with look-behind assertions is that they have to be fixed-width. If you're certain of what kind of data you're going to be dealing with then this may be sufficient. For example, I came up with a regex that will PASS your script but I doubt seriously that it'll be very useful to you as it would be easy to break it by coming up with various test cases. For your single test case, however, this works: /(?)(?foo and its infinite variants could not be trapped for with a single regex since you cannot have an infinite number of fixed width look-behind assertions. If quantifying modifiers such as '*', '+', and '?' were allowed in look-behind assertions it would be possible, but they aren't (see "man perlre"). If your data is coming from unknown sources you'll probably have to use a full fledged HTML parser to pull out text that isn't already part of an tag. I know there are several of these available for perl and I'm sure there are for PHP too but I'm unaware of them. Sorry if this isn't terribly helpful. Maybe I'm overlooking something and someone else will point out a simple way to accomplish what you're trying to do... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] How to install php5 on Fedora Core2
Howdy, When you configure, you need to make sure you have --with-ext= or --enable-ext for all the extensions you want to use. If you want all the same extensions from your previous install, you could copy and paste them out of the configuration command of your old phpinfo() page. If you try and use mysql, you may get an error about header files being missing, you need to copy the mysql .h files into the include directory for mysql. Also, if you dont want to re compile the entire thing, you can compile extensions separately, and load them with either dl() in a script, or just add them to php.ini -- Regards, Matthew Fonda On Sun, 2004-10-03 at 07:21, Teng Wang wrote: > Thanks a lot.

Teng Wang wrote:

And my browser has "Auto-select" settings.
How to make the browser select charset correctly,
W3C:
Conforming user agents must observe the following priorities when
determining a document's character encoding (from highest priority to
lowest):
1. An HTTP "charset" parameter in a "Content-Type" field.
2. A META declaration with "http-equiv" set to "Content-Type" and a
value set for "charset".
3. The charset attribute set on an element that designates an
external resource.
In addition to this list of priorities, the user agent may use
heuristics and user settings. For example, many user agents use a
heuristic to distinguish the various encodings used for Japanese text.
Also, user agents typically have a user-definable, local default
character encoding which they apply in the absence of other indicators.
So the solution should be:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=gb2312');
