You could write a custom interface to _generate_ the file (MIDI is _very_ different than the other two types; are you sure you understand exactly what you intend to do?), but where is the input coming from to begin with? The currently available tools to make audio files are already pretty sophisticated, and trying to replicate them in PHP would probably not be the best use of your time. Sending the files doesn't require any changes to anything. Just create an ANCHOR link to the file and it'll be sent on its merry way when the user clicks on the link.

RE: [PHP] Perl > PHP
The first line of the script had the magic incantation:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
(or something very similar) which makes the leading 'perl' superfluous.
PHP scripts can be made into "self executing" scripts in a similar fashion
if the 1st line looks like:
#!/path/to/the/php/command/line/executable
This only applies to Unix and the executable bit must be set.

RE: [PHP] Masive mail Advice
It is incredibly easy to write a short little php script that edits a template and submits it directly to qmail-inject; if you're using qmail already php mail()/sendmail is just a wrapper to qmail-inject. I use qmail-inject directly because it allows me to write my own VERP and process bounces against the database. A little Pentium 200 running Linux, MySQL, php4, and qmail with 100 queues can more than saturate a T1 line when used for mailing that way! 800 messages isn't close to being "massive" - that many can be sent in way less than a minute (depending on size, of course - a T1 isn't that big anymore ...). > -Original Message- > From: Maciek Ruckgaber Bielecki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > I'll start to write an application which will be used to send large > amounts of mail to users in a DB.

There are two separate processes here - the outgoing connections to the remote SMTP servers and the incoming connections to your own SMTP servers. Tuning qmail involves setting the number of outgoing queues so as not to overload your communications line. I _personally_ have sent more than 300,000 messages with no "resting" mechanism - doing that means you haven't tuned your qmail system for the load.

I have had no problems when both the VERP address and sending machine are the same, providing I tune the qmail queues to a reasonable number. VERP is very useful to handle bounces, no separate machines are required, you just have to think about your bandwidth. The way to solve this is use your intelligence.

Please check what I said: PHP != MySQL The documentation for each is separate. PHP has "convenience" functions for talking to a MySQL database.

RE: [PHP] MySQL and images
There are times, especially in highly dynamic situations, where backing up and restoring of images and metadata from a database or for security reasons, where storing the images within a database makes real sense. Separating the physical storage areas for the two types of data (metadata & images) and keeping the image data from being buffered into the database server's memory space can make storage within the database almost as efficient as file storage.

RE: [PHP] Re: File Random Access
-Original Message- From: David Robley [mailto:robleyd@;paradise.net.nz] I'm going to stick my neck out here - as I understand it, this is not an omission in php, rather it is a restriction of the underlying OS/file system. To the best of my knowledge, neither the FAT based system of M$DOS or e2fs under *nix will allow random access _to the contents of a specific file_ without the need to read/rewrite the entire file. Is there in fact any file system that allows this? All of the file systems I have ever worked with over the last 25 years allow random read/writes (via calls similar to fseek() ); however, random writes involve fixed-length blocks if you want to re-write in place. PHPs fseek() will allow you to do random read/writes on fixed length blocks just like the underlying C call. Variable length blocks (say, those ending in random new lines) are by definition non-deterministic; therefore re-writes in place are impossible without OS help in inter-block jumps/relinks and the subsequent waste of file space. The Pick O/S from a long time back allowed something like this if I remember right (Pick Systems is now RainingData markets a high-end database) .

RE: [PHP] Re: XSLT Sablotron output
There's nothing to "solve"; without the complete XML doc & the XSL
stylesheet, there's no way to know if in fact everything is being parsed as
expected. I don't know if it's CDATA, xsl:text, a strip-spaces directive,
etc. And ... I'd expect anyone using XML & XSL to double check and
re-reference all their books before posting a problem (Sablotron is pretty
well tested; I don't think it's the problem ...)
Then, after exhausting my brain and building the smallest possible set of

I'd submit it to a XML list.
Of couse, the sample script to me looks perfectly valid, since HTML isn't
required to have newlines and of course newlines within text blocks aren't

No.
unlink() is a thin veneer on the system unlink() call.
Wildcard expansion like you have it is done by a shell glob function. You
would need to replicate what the shell does - use it as a regular
expression in an opendir()/readdir()/delete file on regexp
match/closedir() set of operations.
Or, preferably, look up the glob() function in PHP and use the return
values in an unlink() call. Much better than spawning a shell process

RE: [PHP] is there a function like javascript's window.open in PHP
This is a common question, related to the lack of understanding of client/server architectures I believe. PHP is all server side - a browser is all client side. Servers can send data only to the browser, nothing else. The server can inquire and gather data from text files and databases, but it will format the data into a particular protocol (HTTP most often) and send it to the browser. The data may even include lines of text from a language that the browser understands, like JavaScript. Or it might be XML data and the corresponding XSLT instructions. But ... it can't affect the browser directly. Only the embedded instructions that the browser understands can actually affect anything on the browser. The browser looks at the stream of data provided by the server and decides on-the-fly what to do with it. If it sees JavaScript instructions, it may decide to interpret them and do some particular action. Or it may decide that it doesn't want to play with JavaScript today and just ignore them. It may see the XML/XSLT and decide to do something - but it doesn't have to. This, of couse, is the bane of Web programmers everywhere. What does the browser understand, and what does it do with the data. PHP allows us to write programs eaisy on the server to make some decisions on what to send a browser, but it cannot act directly on the browser. We must depend (somehow) on the browser interpreting what we tell it and then acting in a particular way. -Original Message- From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2002 12:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] is there a function like javascript's window.open in PHP On Sunday 23 June 2002 07:21, Burak Delice wrote: > hi, > > I wonder that is there a PHP function like window.open() into Javascript?

Processor affinity isn't nearly as complex as threading; it means to set up a system whereby certain processes run on a particular processor set; e.g., all httpd processes run on CPU set 1, all image processing tasks run on CPU set 2. That way CPU set 1 can continue servicing httpd requests without being bogged down by the CPU intensive tasks running on CPU set 2.

Maybe I'm being dense here, but won't a simple "isset()" work (using the
KISS principle)?
$ary=array("aa"=>"yy","bb"=>"zz");
$key="aa";
if (isset($ary[$key]))
print "$key set\n";
else
print "$key not set\n";
$key="bb";
if (isset($ary[$key]))
print "$key set\n";
else
print "$key not set\n";
$key="cc";
if (isset($ary[$key]))
print "$key set\n";
else
print "$key not set\n"
returns
aa set
bb set
cc not set

Writing good _and relevant_ benchmarks is one of the more difficult things to do in CS. Personally, I look at the time it takes me to code and debug things since that's the most expensive part of the cost equation to my customers - hardware's cheap compared to me. I can get something of production quality up and running on PHP much faster than I can in Perl - probably due to 20 years of programming in C - so my customers are happy. Considering that 95% of the time the bottleneck is the bandwidth, not the application code, and the other 5% of the bottleneck is in the database application section, my customers don't demand any artificial language benchmarks.

RE: [PHP] header("Location:blah...") - passing variables
I cheat and just include the original form on error ...
Almost all my input values are set to PHP variables in the form. The 1st
time through none are set, so the values are blank. After submitting the
form, I check for validity. If there are errors I mark the errors, generate
an error string, and include the form. That way all previously typed in data
remains in the form without me having to tell the user to hit the "back"
button, and there's no horribly long URL string resetting all those values.
There's a bit more work than that (using htmlspecialchars et al.) but if you
start creating forms with error checking & indication in mind it's really
easy to do validation and redisplay if necessary.

Yes, and not facetiously - read the HTML specs.
If you look at the PHP output, you'll see separate lines. If you read the
HTML spec, you'll find out how HTML is supposed to handle whitespace, and

Re: [PHP] PHP, Templates, XSLT

Which is a bear sometimes - but that's due to XML limitations, not Sablotron's fault. > Was it any good? Yup. > Is it fast enough for big websites? Well, big websites don't necessarily have to be fast (I've got over 100,000 pages on one of my websites - but since I'm getting about 2 hits/second it doesn't have to be fast) - but in general, XSLT translation takes a noticeable hit. If your expaectations are in the hundreds of hits/second then you would want to cache the resulting page anyway.

Re: [PHP] Determining the length of a string
Hmmm ... If I didn't know something like that I'd probably do something stupid like go to http://www.php.net, type in "string" or "length" for a keyword in the Search box, look at what came back (including the function "strlen") and explore the other calls nearby, too.

Re: [PHP] Question about how to do this...
This is probably "not a good idea" if the data is mostly static. There's no
real reason to use the power of a db engine for something this trivial, and
static serving will be faster than a DB system.

Re: [PHP] Global Variables -- why not have them?
> I dislike the GLOBAL statement in that many of the bugs that get me > scratching my > head are to do with when I have forgotten to use it. Then you're probably using it way too often. Global scope variable are inherently dangerous and cause more problems than they're worth. I've been in this business well nigh 30 years now and have had more problems with globals than I can shake a stick at. Passing parameters ain't a bad thing, you know, even when what you're passing is a variable declared in global scope (like variables set via post or get). Global is inelegant by definition ... I worked in Fortran 77 for 10 of those years; we were really careful with common blocks and included them only where absolutely necessary. Passing array blocks was in almost all cases a "better thing" and was not any slower.
