[PHP] exec timing out, want to leave process running in bg
I'm trying to develop a front-end using php for mpg123 so that various members of my
household don't need to access a shell to start/play music. I'm using something
similiar to exec('$null'), w/ $null being equal to "mpg123 -y -Z --all >/dev/null/ &".
The problem I'm having, is about 5 minutes after it starts, it dies, with no core dump
or anything, the process just stops. I'm sure this is done so that a process won't run
forever in the background (bonus/bug), but what if that's what I want? Is there any
work around?
This is using php4.0.4pl1 and FreeBSD 4.0 release with apache 1.3.12. Thanks in
advance.

[PHP] preprocessing
I have what I feel to be a strange problem (I'm most likely wrong here). I have page A, which is an internal page, which posts to page C which is external (belongs to another company). What I would like is to insert a preprocessing script (let's call it page b). So, the end result would be, users input data to page a, page a then posts to page b, page b processes all variables etc and then posts to page c. I don't want the customer, to ever really have to interact with page b. Is that possible? If there is a command to do this, which I must've missed, that would really be all I need ;) Louis G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Re: [PHP] preprocessing
Unfortunately, I don't control page c, or else this would be a mute point. That's why I need page B. Good idea though. >At 10:18 AM 5/17/01 -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >>I have what I feel to be a strange problem (I'm most likely wrong here). >>I have page A, which is an internal page, which posts to page C which is >>external (belongs to another company).

RE: Re: [PHP] preprocessing
This is a fairly solid suggestion, and it may be what I have to do. But,
unfortunately, Page C is expecting a POST, not a GET, which may make it not work.
Also, I would like to avoid this if possible due to some of the sensitive information
that will be being passed to and fro. Even if it will be done using SSL.

>header("LOCATION:http://www.www.com/cgi-bin/script?var1=test&var2=testing";);
>That way the user will never have to interact with page 'b'. Note: do not start

[PHP] Array Cleansing
Maybe someone could help with this? I'm trying to remove white space values from my array, and resequence them, so that the following: foo[0] = "value", foo[1] = " ", foo[2] = "value", foo[3] = " ", foo[4] = "value" after running through a piece of code would turn into foo[0] = "value", foo[1] = "value", foo[2] = "value", foo[3] = null, foo[4] = null, The code I wrote, and deleted out of frustration ended up with all of the variables equal to null. Maybe someone could show me the proper way?
