[PHP] user-defined superglobals?
Hi List, is there a way (mybe in php5?) to define/declare a global var as a superglobal, so that I can use this var like the known superglobals ($_GET, $_SESSION, etc.) ??? If not, is there a list for "feature requests"? Regards, Matthias -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Ray Hunter, you wrote:
you can define your own superglobals by defining the vars first then
accessing them thru the $GLOBALS var.
example:
function test() {
echo $GLOBALS['var1'];
echo $GLOBALS['var2'];
echo "Test\n"
}
test();
?>
That should get you started with globals.
Well, this is clear, (I'm only new in the list - not in PHP ;-) )
but I want it in a better/shorter way
for the "master var" of a big project!
Is there a way to request such a feature and where?
I think this would be nice for application frameworks!?
Maybe also for PEAR...

Matthias

Re: [PHP] user-defined superglobals?
Sorry this all is not what I'm looking for. I see it is not possible at the moment. It would be nice to have a php-function like declare_superglobal($_MYFRAMEWORK); And then use $_MYFRAMEWORK like $_GET. Thanks nevertheless. Regards, Matthias Ray Hunter wrote: Well, this is clear, (I'm only new in the list - not in PHP ;-) ) but I want it in a better/shorter way for the "master var" of a big project! Yes you can set up a master file that includes all your master vars...many php developers call this a configuration script and name it config.php. This allows users to set up global variables that are used through out the application. Is there a way to request such a feature and where? I think this would be nice for application frameworks!?

Multiply it by 'enough' days (eg 365) and always refresh your cookie's expiration. This might solve your problem.

Re: [PHP] timing a session
Damian Brown wrote: Hi, i haven't looked into it properly yet, but is there a way in PHP of recording the length of time a visitor stays on your website i can record the entry, but i don't know how to record the exit time There is no way to get this exactly! You cannot record the time a user is really reading a single page. It has to do something with the http protocol being 'connectionless'! I heared/read that there's a standard of the 'advertisment-industry' saying that a visit ends after 30 minutes after the last (session-)request. (A bad method if you really must have this very exact is to do a short http-refresh, eg every minute.) I also think, this is no php problem but a common problem of the http protocol which wasn't designed to hold a connection over a user's session - that's why session management had to be invented ;-) Regards, Matthias Regards, Damian www.phpexpert.org UK FREEphone 0800 019 0924 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Jason Sheets, you wrote: Someone wrote a php module that did this around 6 to 9 months ago. It was easy to install but you needed access to php.ini. Do you know where to get/download this module?

The reason for this is that I wanna be able to colorize them in a special way which GD is great at... Just that GD can't handle BMPs so... My first idea was to simply convert the formats, but turns out that's not waay to easy... I only tried the 8bit format which I nowdays think is VERY wierd...

Re: [PHP] Whats wrong with my code?
Hi Stevie D Peele, you wrote:
Can someone spot what Is wrong with my code?
Please read your code carefully and check the
writing of your variable $include!
Sometimes you write $includes instead...
It has to have the same name everywhere,
PHP can't guess what you want ;-)
What is the certain error message?
And yes: if the file doesn't exists that should be included
PHP will not be happy about it.
PHP can't also guess what code is in the file you wanna include ;-)

[PHP] session with output compression?
Hi List, I wanna use PHP's session management with output compression, but I have the following problem: Session-IDs are not automatically appended to URLs. :-( The compression works fine and makes the page nice for slow internet connections. The session management works also fine, but only with cookies :-( I guess the problem is that PHP can not append SID in (g)ziped output!?... But is there a way to get this work with output compression? Any hints would be great!

[PHP] Fatal Error: PDFlib error ...
Hi,
I'm trying to get the pdflib work...
I use pdflib 4.0.3 downloaded from pdflib.de and php 4.3.4 on Debian Linux.
I wrote this test code:
dl("libpdf_php.so");
$pdf = pdf_new();
pdf_begin_page($pdf, 421, 595);
pdf_set_font($pdf, "Helvetica", 24, "host");
pdf_show_xy($pdf, "Hello World!", 75, 200);
pdf_end_page($pdf);
pdf_close($pdf);
$buffer = pdf_get_buffer($pdf);
$f = fopen("test.pdf", "bw");
fwrite($f, $buffer);
fclose($f);
?>
and got
Fatal error: PDFlib error: function 'PDF_begin_page' must not be called
in 'object' scope in /var/www/Software/cms4rent/pdftest.php on line 5
Why is that?
Any help would be great.

[PHP] cli input and screen question(s)
Hi all of you, does someone know how to "observe" the keyboard input e.g. in a while loop so that I can do other stuff between two keypresses!? And is it possible to make a cli script responsable for special keys like cursor, function (F1, F2...) or Control/Alt-[somekey], PageUp/Down, Enter, Esc,...? The other problem is: I would like to draw a screen like midnight commander does. Is there a way to get that work with PHP ? How is it possible to clear the screen and to check out row nums and column nums from within PHP?
