[PHP] Accented character 'echo'ed randomly
Hi people. I submitted the issue below to the bug site, but the people there suggested I present it here. I've tried some more, but until now, I couldn't find any cause for the problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated! John Description: I have a very simple web-page script with mainly 'echo' commands. Randomly the accented characters are replaced by question-marks. If or not the question mark appears seems to be depending on the page contents, though at least in one of the cases, the only thing that changes in the page is a GIF image. All this happens in the same html-session, using the same script. I've seen other -similar- reports, though none about 'echo'. I can't be sure if this is an apache problem or php-related. Sorry if was already solved... Please indicate. Reproduce code: --- echo "Página Índice"; Expected result: Página Índice Actual result: -- Randomly Página Índice P?gina ?ndice -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

MS ignores many standards and norms.

Apparently this is a specific problem with Mozilla. I tried with Firefox, Opera and Dillo, and didn't have any problem. I've traced the HTTP exchange over the 'net, and the HTML code is served correctly. It's the browser that gets confused. I've filed a bug report on bugzilla...

[PHP] Time zones and $_ENV vs getenv
Hello people.
Argentina changed timezones (Oct 19th), just two weeks ago, and, as PHP
has a separate table, I forgot to change the zones both in my machine and
on the server. I did so yesterday, and have some problems. Here's what I
did:
1) Downloaded the latest timezonedb (2008.9), compiled and installed it
locally and on the server. Apparently no problem there.
2) I have a calendar on my pages
(http://www.jcoppens.com/kayak/peperina/agenda.php&uniz=1) which shows
the unix time stamp if the cursor is above a date (just to help
debugging). The stamps coincide till Oct 19th, then differ by one hour
(as compared to my PC).
At the remote server, the time seems correct (-0200), on my machine it
isn't (-0300). I _did_ restart my apache, and yes, the php.ini is correct.
One strange thing I noticed (on both my machine and the server) is that
$_ENV['TZ'] was empty, while getenv('TZ') was correctly set
(America/Argentina/Cordoba).
I'm confused... Can someone point me to some more tests I could do?
Thanks,
John

Apparently the apachectl start/stop/restart script didn't work correctly, or wasn't able to do its work. I _thought_ I had restart apache after each modification, but it just continued running.

[PHP] Ming - php sync problem?
Hi all. I have simple page that generates a simple flash with some random images, then publishes it - on the same page. If I do this, i regularly have several kinds of problems, one of them, an error message like: getimagesize(img/topmovie/toplogo.swf): failed to open stream: No such file or directory or the size getimagesize reports isn't the correct one. If I only _call_ the swf (no generation), the message isn't there and things look more normal. Is the swf generation an asynchronous process and do I have to wait until the movie->save(xxx) finishes?

Thanks for the hint

No - I didn't worry about the fact the messages were there - just the
flash problem

You are right, of course. I made a mistake in my script. Your error hint
was welcome though.
Thanks.
