[PHP] Installing PHP on HP

2003-11-14 Thread Christopher Weaver
For learning purposes, can I install and run PHP on my XP Home Edition
machine?  If not that, how about an NT 4.0 Workstation?

[PHP] echo

2004-11-30 Thread Christopher Weaver
I can't get this code, pasted from the documentation, to work properly.  The
new lines don't occur where they should.



Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[PHP] Re: echo

2004-11-30 Thread Christopher Weaver
OK, I get it now.

I had forgotten that PHP output is text, as opposed to the result produced 
by HTML.  When the documentation states that the newlines will be output as 
well it means that literally -- not that the browser will output the 
newlines.

Thanks for jumping onto this.

Chris.

[PHP] Spawning new pages

2004-11-30 Thread Christopher Weaver
I want one of my functions to create and open a new page.  I know how to
call an existing page from PHP ala form action, but in this case I want to
dynamically create and then display several pages.  I'm thinking that
perhaps I should assemble some HTML, write it out to a files, then open the
HTML file.

Is this the best way of going about it?

Can it be done without actually writing the HTML to the disk?

How do I actually open the page once it's been created?

[PHP] Date Manipulation

2004-11-30 Thread Christopher Weaver
I've looked at the date functions in the manual but can't find what I need. 
All I want to do is add and subtract days without ending up with bogus date 
values.  IOW, Nov. 29 + 7 days shouldn't be Nov. 36.

Just a nod in the write direction would be great.

Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Spawning new pages

2004-11-30 Thread Christopher Weaver
Here's what I've got

In first php file

include second.php;

createPage("withThis");
createPage("withThat");


In second php file

function createPage
{
 echo "";
 echo "";
 echo "more stuff here";
 echo "";
 echo "";
}


Here's the problem.  I get only one page, not two.  I want a new page each 
time the function is called.

Any ideas?

What?!  I only see one answer, Brent Clements.  How is it that I could miss 
some of the messages?  I'm reading these through MS Outlook Express with 
'Show All Messages' selected.

Anyway, is there any way that I can 'imitate' the effect of a user clicking 
on a link that would open another page?  Maybe this is a javascript thing?

Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Date Manipulation

2004-12-01 Thread Christopher Weaver
This code:

echo strtotime("now");
echo mktime("Ymd", strtotime("now"));

is producing this result:

1101945775
Warning: mktime(): Windows does not support negative values for this 
function ...
 -1

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks again.

Sorry about that.   Works great with date.
