Download unix2dos.exe (there is also a dos2unix.exe)

If you are running the php on *nix, and wanting to import the file
on excel, you will need it..

Another thing you can do, is create it in an html/table format


data1




this will be read fine by excel regardless of the end of line string.

$strMine = preg.replace("/(\r\n|\r|\n)+/",$strMine,"\r\n\r\n");

or "\n\n" as the replace.. :)

I use the (\r\n|\r|\n) to match against windows, unix, & mac line
terminations...  I usually replace with the windows \r\n

Paypal offers the use of a direct response to a url you designate for
verification.. send them to a thank you page, and maybe give them temp
access.. there are directions on setting up verification with paypal
in their payment manuals..

Re: [PHP] fsockopen question

2002-07-03 Thread Tracker 1

you can do more than one fsockopen, which means you will have
multiple sockets open, however, these are part of the same thread
in the same process.. in other words, you can't do two things at
once by default.. with php-gtk, you can maybe have multiple user
events.. and not sure if you can emulate it..

Re: [PHP] HTTPS vs. HTTP ?

2002-07-07 Thread Tracker 1

Personally, I think the concept of NEEDING https is a bit rediculous.

Generally, trying to get through the front door, would be the same as
trying to get through a concrete wall with a baseball bat...

Now, finding a back door, and getting at THEIR database is the REAL key.
people don't generally try and hack routers... most current router systems
haven't been hacked.. there are attempts, same as anything else.. it just
isn't very common.

if you can steal the keys, you can steal the database, which holds more
than stealing a site for a few minutes.
