Running Program
I have a program called "rlx" that takes two arguments and writes a file. The command line could be "~/rlx file b" and it executes correctly from shell. What it does is to write a file to webserver/rlx/file.dat. The permission for the program rlx is 755, the permission for the dir rlx is 777, and the text output from the program after having run it is correct. (It displays the filename and other data). Code: //Commandline tried are all these, just one of them in the real code of course: $commandline = "/home/me/rlx/rlx file b"; $commandline = "/../../rlx/rlx file b"; // since above didnt work, i tried to copy the program file to the web directory, renaming it to rlx2 so it doesnt have the same name as dir $commandline = "rlx2 file b"; $commandline = "/.rlx2 file b"; // one of following in the real code of course exec($commandline); system($commandline); shell_exec($commandline);

How Can I Check If A Server Is Up And Running?
Is there any way to check if a server is running and then refresh to it? maybe something like this: <?php $url = "http://www.mysite.com"; if(server_status($url) == true){ header('location : $url'); } else{ echo "Server down -- TRY AGAIN LATER"; } ?> I was looking at php.net and i found Memcache::getStats(), but i don't know what that does...

Check That The Image Is "complete" Before Running The Script?
I have a script that processes a live image from a webcam, cropping it and delivering it to the user. The webcam ftp's an image called "ftp.jpg" every so often, and when the user loads the "live image" page, the script opens the ftp-ed image and creates and saves a new jpeg with the cropping applied. The problem seems to be, if the user runs the script and the new image hasn't finished ftp-ing in, the resulting cropped image is black - nothing. Is there some way to check that the image is "complete" before running the script? If not, any suggestions for avoiding trying to process an incomplete image?

Sessions? External Program / External Program
I am trying ac ouple of days now to learn some things on SESSIONS,but I think I am not getting it very clearly. I have a PHP page tha contains a form. Users enter data in the form, which are then written in a file (the file is created at the time a user enters some data) The file is then given as an input to an external program The external program runs and gives some results which are then stored in another file (that is created when the external program finishes) What I want to do is to somehow create these files and, when the user exits from the browser, then both files that refer to this user, will be deleted.

Sort Of IP Check Or Other Security Check
Do sessions already do some sort of IP check or other security check or do I have to do this manually? My problem is that I want to use sessions to log in users to my message board. My concern is that a non-cookie user, we'll call her Mary, will post a link to another message at my site and that link will include her session id. If someone else, call him John, clicks on that link, will John now have the same session id as Mary? Or are sessions smart enough not to let that happen?

File Check-in/check-out System?
I'd like to a build a PHP-based interface for sharing documents (MS Office docs, latex, etc). I need to be able to allow users to "check-out" the files for their exclusive use and then go through a "check in" process when they re-upload the doc so it's accessible again to everyone else. I'd also like to implement some form of version control where older versions of the docs can be in some sort of repository. I'm not quite sure how to approach either concept. I'm wondering if anyone can give me tips on how I might go about this.

C Program And PHP
I have written this function in a C program, using Visual Studio. The PHP script executes fine, but the output is not displayed. I have been racking my brains for hours trying to figure this one out. The output from the php program should print to a file called 'out.txt'. The file is successfully created, but with no content. I am pretty sure it's the way PHP returns the results. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be most appreciated. int passCode(void) { FILE *phpFile, *out; size_t len; char buffer[1000]; phpFile = popen("php -f testing1.php", "r"); if (phpFile) { out = fopen("out.txt", "w"); len = fread(buffer, 1, sizeof(buffer), phpFile); fprintf(out, buffer); fclose(out); pclose(phpFile); return 1; } else { return 0; } }

How To Program OOP
I use OOP for a PHP Application Framework I am programming. I have one base class which includes all the necessary functions and variables which all the other classes use. So what I originally did was that I made an instance of the base class and passed it to the other classes. Now someone insisted that this is not the way to do it. so I used 'extends base' to make the base class available to the other classes. Afterwards it worked fine, but it didn't make the code smaller nor did it result in faster speed. I used the benchmarking script from PEAR. So I wonder whats the difference between those two solutions, both work fine. Are there some tools to analyse how much memory a script uses?

Run Program Automatically
I want to create the option for my clients to create their own e-mail address. When I do this in Telnet, I have to run the command 'vadduser' It then asks me for a username, I want to assign this automatically. (1,2,3,4 etc etc) It then asks me for a password, I want this to be something the user has already given in a form (before the script was run). It then has to be retyped. Those two things can be done automatically. It then asks if I want to assign a disk quota (YES) and then asks for the number of megabytes (1) That's it. Are there any examples available of how to do this?

Should I Use A One Php Program Or Multiple
I have taken over a php web site. Once you login you are given six menu choices. Each option is or can be independant of the others. They each modify the same database but in different ways. On clicking the menu buttons the program calls php functions to do the action. Thus the user stays inside a large program. I was expecting the menu to provide links rather than function calls. 1) Is there a reason to stay inside a large program through function calls rather than linking to separate pages? 2) Am I correct that providing a <a href=... link would isolate the functionality and call a new program? The current program is spagettii code and somewhat buggy. There are side effects that depend on what function was called before. I am hoping that passing the hidden input parameters is all the connectivity I need.

Survey Program -
I want to migrate a survey program to web application and have selected PHP to use a on the server end along with apache and firebird rdms. As developing a web application is much different than a standard app I have some questions: 1) The survey has 50 questions with answers being 1-10. Is it best to store all 50 questions and corresponding answers in a javascript array and then up all in a batch update? The downside to this approach is the user could lose all responses to survey questions if the client computer web browser crashed. 2) After authenticating the user, how do I keep track of the rating session to guard it from hacking? Do I just store the username in a javascript variable since there is really no constant connection to the server?

PHP Program Packaging

I set up one like this for my work and it runs off of Apache on our server. I need this program to be a stand-alone install, without installing MySQL, PHP, and Apache seperately.

Program Flow
I had some bad experience with code organization and script functionality in writing my php based applications. And as the applications get bigger in scale it gets even worse. Therefore, I am trying to build a general schema for data flow in a php/mysql application. What I has in mind is to design a three major units. To handle the input, processing and data access. Plus another unit to generate the output. What I have now is one script that resolves the operation to be done according to the parameters send to it and the call the processing unit to do the rest of the job. However, as I add more functionality to the system this dispatcher script gets bigger and bigger... 1. How can I arrange my program/data flow in an efficient and easily maintainable way? 2. And how should I implement the output generation unit to be completely seperate from the others (I have lots of forms and outputs I have to show the user when necessary)?
