Re: [PHP] Includes
Hi, The best way to do this (it's only my opinion, I'm sure there are many other ways but this way works for me) is to create a .php file and fill it with your most commonly used functions. You can use a .inc file, which is probably recommended, but you will need to tell the server not to display this file. You can do this in php.ini but it will complicate things right now. For a header, use a function name like drawHeader() or something and then put all your database connection, navigation, page formatting etc in that function. Then, on all your pages, you just need to add the following at the top. This will draw you header the same on all pages that you include the above with. If someone navigates to yourincudefile.php all they should see is an empty page because all the code is inside functions. Hope this helps Andy. - Original Message - From: "Rick Beckman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 11:12 AM Subject: [PHP] Includes > I'm wanting to use PHP to make updating an entire site easier by using > include() [I think that's the function] to include navigation bars, notices, > etc. on multiple pages.

[PHP] Segmentation Fault
Hi All, I'm scanning email address for our mailing list to see if they are valid and the PHP app I have built for this bombs out at random complaining of a Segmentation Fault. I believe this is to do with memory and possibly down to the number of open file handles but the code is spot on in that it opens a connection, runs some code, then closes it. I've checked it, double checked it then checked it some more and fclose definitely gets executed every time. The variable I'm using for the file handle is $Connect and the reference to this gets incremented by 1 every time I run fsockopen on it. Should it do this? My question: Is there any limit to the number of times I can run fsockopen in any one instance of PHP even though the connection is being closed? Or is there something else I should know? Thanks in advance Andy -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Probably not but what the heck.
IE has a cap of 2K.

Netscape exceeds 2k but I've never tested out how much.

[PHP] PHP Stress Testing.
Guys, Has anyone ever tested PHP, MySQL on Apache to see just how well it will work when put under serious pressure.

Re: [PHP] PHP Stress Testing.
Thanks Michael, What I'm after is how well PHP can handle load, I know it's quick, I've tested it and I have to say that the results are somewhat interesting. But, what I can't test properly is how it handles hundreds, even thousands of simultaneous connections. I know that the above is probably more to do with the web server but I want to prove a point that PHP is not the "fly by night" software that some people are saying it is. I know it's good, but, I need to show just how good it can be. I then want to publish the results for all to see. Still interested?

Re: [PHP] mySQL wont connect
Kyle, If you are absolutely sure that your username and password is correct...You are sure arn't you ? Try changing "P500.MSHOME.NET" to either "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" Most likely the MySQL admin dude has set it so that you can only connect to MySQL from the machine itself Andy - Original Message - From: "Kyle Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 11:59 PM Subject: [PHP] mySQL wont connect Well it wont! i get the error message "Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'test@P500' (Using password: YES) in C:\apache\htdocs\php+mysql\connect.php on line 2 Could not connect" When using "" Please tell me its omething really simple please! -lk6- http://www.StupeedStudios.f2s.com Home of the burning lego man!

Re: [PHP] File Download Completion
Hi Berber, The only way I've figured this at the moment is to use the web server access logs. They will tell you how many bytes were transfered, if it matches the file size then transmission was potentialy succesful. I'm trying to think of a better way using PHP and maybe JavaScript but at the moment I've hit a brick wall. I'll have a think later and get back to you, but for your information it is possible.

Re: [PHP] Run a script for 20minutes
Something doesn't seem right here. I've executed scripts that have taken 4 hours to complete in the past and the only thing I had to set was: set_time_limit(0); Are you echoing anything to the screen, if not maybe you should after every loop increment, you may also need to use the flush() command. Hope this helps. Andy Woolley www.databasewatch.com - Original Message - From: "Martin E.
