Advanced XMLHttpRequest Usage
Please understand that I know how to code in both javascript and PHP and know how to use AJAX very well. I have an entire scheduling system set up with employee management and shift requests using the XMLHTTPRequest object.
That said, here is my question/dilemma:
Within said scheduling system, I have a span that is filled using the xmlhttprequest object. That span, once filled, is able to call javascript functions from the parent document (i.e. the page that is loaded into the span can call functions in the page that contains the span). However, if I would like to be able to access objects within the AJAX loaded span. Is there a way to do this?
A specific basic example:
page1.php contains a span with id="test_span"
page2.php contains a table, with a cell that has an id='cell1'
page2.php is loaded into test_span using AJAX
page1 calls a javascript function that uses "document.getElementById('cell1') and changes its color...nothing happens (no javascript errors either)

Advanced Filesystem Usage (Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction In Effect.)
I'm working on the automatic News insertion functionality, which is simple enough in itself. But where I'm having the problem is dealing with uploading image files. Since we use screenshots from in game as pictures to give viewers a more interesting view of what the news article is about, I need to be able to store images for the news files on the server. Now, I could store all the images in one images folder, but I wanted to do something different. Which, with the form that I created to allows uploading of images, it will store them in a subdirectory of the images/ folder that is similar to the current date they were uploaded on. ie today would go into "images/04.15.03/file.gif" basically. I'm authenticating the uploaded file fine from what I can tell. The hard part first came in getting the subdirectories to be created with the mkdir() command. At first it just wouldn't do it, after trying several ways. Finally I figured out I had to change the priveleges of the directory on the server. After that I was able to create subdirectories in PHP. Problem is, I'm using move_uploaded_file() which is considered safer and works better in safe mode. But I'm recieving the following error. Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 547 is not allowed to access /%mybasedir_hiddenfrom you%/images/04.15.03 owned by uid 48 in /%mybasedir_hiddenfrom you%/classes/class.files.php on line 225 The line it points to is the move_uploaded_file() function. From what I've heard through safe mode you can't upload to dir's you create or something due to the owner of them. But I already set the created dir to full priveleges. I'm wondering if there is a way to sort of log into the apache server via php and create the directly as the site owner that way. Here are the code snippets: PHP Code:

Xmlhttprequest
I tried the AJAX example that was posted in the Article section and it works fine. Now I am try to incorporate this into a project, but I am fighting with checking if my code has received the PHP Result. I try to query the .readyState but the only think happen is that I am looking up the script (Doesn't matter I am using do/while or while). Is there another trigger that need to happen to update .readyState or is there another variable that can be checked?

Developing With DOM And XMLHttpRequest
I have to write a web program (not a web site) and I was exploring all possibilities. When I found XMLHttpRequest I decided to use it. I'm interesting also in DOM, and I formuled this idea of a PHP framework: for every page of the program: - an XML file where there are all the static parts, and where the dynamic part have to go (after a DB query, etc.) you put something like <div id="where_the_table_have_to_go"></div> - a .php file that initialize the dynamic data of the page, created with DOM objects and with something like that (I don't know the correct syntax, it's only an idea): $doc = new DOMDocument("file.xml"); // DB query and $table creation with DOMElement and so on... // and finally $panel = $doc->getElementsByTag("where_the_table_have_to_go"); $t = $panel->createTextNode($table.saveHTML()); // I don't know if TextNode is correct :) $panel->appendChild($t); - a .php file with the right Javascript code to use XMLHttpRequest. When in the browser a change occours, the JS function call this file to upgrade the desired node of the page. Finally he answers with something like: creatTextNode($table.saveHTML()); Is all that possible? Anyone knows if there are some libraries that uses DOM and XMLHttpRequest together? Is it possible to update only a node of a page with XMLHttpRequest?

Suggestions For Using XmlHTTPRequest
So I've started using the uber cool xmlHTTPRequest on one of my forms to populate a select field. It works really well and I'm surprised how seamless it all is... I do need some suggestions on use. Here's my situation: I have a Country select field that is populated by a mysql request - the options here are loaded and one of them is selected based on the users' default value. Based on this value (country) the State select field populates itself with the states for that respective country and even select the default state for the user. This select field is populated by my xmlhttprequest friend. I have this all working. However, I currently have to have the user click on the EMPTY State select field in order to load the states... looks kinda lame. I use the "onChange" function to call my loadXMLDoc() method... which in turn pulls the states based on the selected Country value. Here's my problem: In order to populate the state field, I need an event handler to initiate the loadXMLdoc() function ... ala "onChange", "onClick", etc. If I DONT auto-select the country field and let the user do it, I can use onChange and load the states for that particular country. This works for the New Profile form, but it doesn't work for the Edit Profile form which should auto-select everything and show the user his previously selected values. So my question is, what's the best approach to have the states load when the form is loaded? Based on what country is automatically selected... ? I have thought of using onLoad() for the BODY tag, but since it the BODY comes from a global include, I don't want to clutter it with functions I don't really need for a lot of pages. Is there any way to access this data without going through "onchange" or the like? Is there a better way to do what I want?

XMLHttpRequest Not Posting Data To Php
i have the following javascript code: --------- try{F=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")} catch(e) { try{F=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")} catch(e){F=typeof "XMLHttpRequest"!="undefined"?new XMLHttpRequest():0} } if(F) { F.open("POST","http://www.myurl.com/php_page") F.onreadystatechange=function(){F.readyState==4?ev al(F.responseText):0} F.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded") F.send("foo=bar&stuff=test") } -------- when i run this in firefox 1.5 the "post" fields are recognised by php, however, when i use internet explorer 6.0 the "post" fields are not recognised by php. i have checked the headers sent in IE and they appear to be correct (eg, Content-Type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded"...). as suggested in another post, i have enabled the "always_populate_raw_post_data" directive in my php.ini file, yet the "post" fields still don't exist.. also, when running phpinfo() on the page that is being posted to, $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] = "GET" - something is wrong here. is it something to do with the the script above, the browser or the server?

Post A Form Using The XmlHttpRequest Object
I'm trying to post a form (using POST not GET) using the xmlHttpRequest object. I cannot work out how to get PHP (4.1.2) to read the data which I'm submitting. Everything works fine if I use GET I can just read it from $_GET. If I use POST nothing appears in $_POST. To try to use the POST method I'm encoding the fields into a URL encoded string and sending it as the parameter to the request.send() function from Javascript. /Something/ is going out because I can see it in the LiveHHTPHeaders extension to Firefox. Presumably it's being received by the server. But how on earth do I get at it!?

Toggle Display Option That Use An XMLHttpRequest To A Query.
I have been trying to resolve this issue for a few days now but I just cant get it. The following works intermittent. I have a toggle display option on one of my pages that use an XMLHttpRequest to a PHP query. I have already read the article on PHPBuilder and a few other places but I cannot find anything that would help me. Here is the index.php section that calls the XMLHttpRequest. function ToggleDisplay(FactID) { Cell = "dis"+FactID; var obj = (document.getElementById) ? document.getElementById(Cell):(document.all)?document.all[Cell]:null; if (obj) { if (obj.innerText == "Display: Yes") { obj.innerText = "Display: No"; sendString = 'dynamicUpdate.php?Action=ToggleDisplay&Other=False&FactID='+FactID; } else { obj.innerText = "Display: Yes"; sendString = 'dynamicUpdate.php?Action=ToggleDisplay&Other=True&FactID='+FactID; } } req = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP'); req.open('get', sendString); req.send(null); } I am only allowing users to use IE5+ and that is why I only create a new instance of ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');. Here is the dynamicUpdate.php (simple., easy, and affective): <?php $query = "UPDATE facts SET Display = ".$_GET['Other']." WHERE FactID = ".$_GET['FactID']; $conn = odbc_connect('****', '****', '****'); odbc_exec($conn, $query); odbc_close($conn); ?>

Self And $this Usage
Is it possible to do without $this? I have got an instance of another class inside a class. Now I want to access this classes functions using the self keyword, but it seems i cant. Or can I? Like, self::$nexgen->Function? Or do I have to use the $this keyword. Having both keywords seems pointless to me, i'd like to stick with one... Maybe im getting confused.

Advanced OO Topic
I notice a strange behavior in PHP4 and wonder if anyone can explain it. Essentially, when I extend a class from a built-in module, I can add and access variables but can not access new functions I create within the extended class. This has only happened attempting to extend classes from ming, but I suspect it may be a universal problem (?). That is: <?PHP class foo { } class bar extends foo { function bar() { print "bar"; } } $bar = new bar(); $bar->bar(); //PRINTS "bar" ?> Works as expected, however, in: <?PHP class foo extends SWFSprite { var $x = 10; function bar() { print "bar"; } } ?> running: <?PHP $foo = new foo(); print $foo->x; //WORKS; PRINTS "10" $foo->bar(); //RETURNS "Undefined Function" FATAL ERROR ?> Can anyone explain this behavior? Will it be fixed in PHP5? Is it related to the Zend engine? Any workarounds?

Advanced SQL Query
I have built a script that checks if another server is up or down. If the server is down it stores the timestamp in a MySQL database – but if the server is running nothing is stored. The reason why I don’t store the uptime is because the scripts runs every minute, so the database would fill up really fast so Iamm trying to avoid string the uptime. The problem is when I want to select the last downtime I want to count how many minutes the server was down. The database looks something like this: Id – Date 01 - 2005-11-17 12:00:00 02 - 2005-11-17 12:01:00 03 - 2005-11-17 12:02:00 04 - 2005-11-17 12:03:00 05 - 2005-11-17 15:00:00 06 - 2005-11-17 15:01:00 07 - 2005-11-17 15:02:00 08 - 2005-11-17 15:03:00 Okay, according to the table the last downtime was November 11 @ 15:03 and then the server was down for 4 minutes.

Memory Usage & Php
today i have written a script (using the safox api) to convert data from a mysql database to several xml files. we re talking about quiet alot of data. When i run the script it goes incredibly fast, it creates like 650 xml files in 20 seconds (while with my earlier script not using sofax it took like 20 minutes for the same amount of data). anywayz, i got a new problem now after it ran 1 minute and processed about 1200 xml files, i get the next error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 524288000 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 52 bytes) in C:wwwxmlswitchclassessafox_g.cls.php on line 767 i know what it means, and i know that i could solve the problem with messing around with ini_set or just change the max memory size in php.ini, but that is what to avoid doing. do you guys got any tips on saving memory usage while using php? is there something like .net's "garbage collection" in php? or is there any other way to save memory ?

I've got a windows server, running PHP 4.4.2. It hosts a few different sites, and one of them is causing high cpu usage spikes (70% utilization). Because these aren't constant, it's hard to find a way to measure them. It's not all my code, so I don't really want to go modifying it to track down the high usage. Nor do I want to be taking sites down to determine where it came from (I will if I have to though) Is there a way to determine which php script is causing this cpu usage?

I've read that Larry Ullman is a good author. Is this true for what I am looking for, or are his books more like "LAMP for Dummies" -type books? I've always just used the PHP manual to figure things out, but I want to advance my coding. I'm not looking for a reference manual of functions and stuff - I'm looking for techniques and ideas.
