Linefeeds -> Unix And Windows
How would I configure Windows Notepad (Windows XP) to properly display unix linefeeds?

Pdflib Free With Windows But Not For Unix?
In the latest binary windows php distribution, pdflib comes precompiled, ready to go, no license needed. However, with the latest unix php dist. I had to compile the damn thing from scratch and it's not free! I need to purchase a license to get it to create pdf docs without the "nagger" painted across the screen. What is up with this? Is there another pdflib dist out there for unix that doesn't need to be licenced? (I am aware of fpdf, but need the pdflib functionality) I don't mind ultimately having to pay the license fee, as this is a great product, but doesn't it go against everything open source stands for that it's free for winblows and not free for unix?

Unix And Windows Php Script Compatibility
I'm a php novice and am developing a shopping cart application for a client who is hosted on a unix server. The hosting service requires that each php file have #!/usr/local/bin/php at the top. When I test these pages on my developer Windows php installation I get errors because Windows does not recognize the bang command so it is passed on as content to the php server. Any suggestions on hiding the first line from windows while still having unix see this?

Something Like Cron On Windows?
I have Windows XP professional. Is there ANYTHING reliable on Windows that is like cron on UNIX that will allow you run something at regular intervals, for example, like every 10 minutes? I would like to change a (static/.html) web page every 10 minutes using PHP, is there a way to do this? I have an Apache/PHP/MySql also, so maybe theres a way to do it through these programs. Has any one done this before? How? AT will not do what I want, and SCHTASKS has a lot of bugs, and will not allow me to run a program in the background.

MSSQL - Unix Client / Windows Server
I need to access a MSSQL 7.0 database on a Windows NT Server from a Linux PHP Web-server. I have looked at FreeTDS, unixODBC and iODBC. unixODBC seems the easiest but alas one need to buy licenses. iODBC is a bit slow, apart from the ODBC part containing many connection layers, it also has a request broker/client running on top of the ODBC. FreeTDS seems like a decent solution. It even has the option of using TDS in conjunction with iODBC. This eliminates the use of the extra request broker/client. Furthermore I've read somewhere that one can use the Sybase functions of PHP to connect to a MSSQL server since both use the TDS (Tabular Data Stream) Protocol. What method would be the easiest and/or could be implemented using the ADOdb database abstraction layer class?

Windows To Unix Text Doc Parsing Problem
i have been having trouble with a login script that works on my windows machine, however when i upload it to the Unix server through VPN, the same script won't work! It won't parse member.txt properly i think. The password and usernames i am using are at the bottom of this post. Each time i go to login on the unix server, it clears the username and password field. I have been attempting to solve the problem, but have been baffled to see why there is such an issue. I have taken out the HTML, and just given you the PHP script that i am running. The original programming was done on Unix!. My question to people on here is why does my script run on Windows and not on Unix? How can i fix the problem? Here is the source code i have been looking at: <? session_start(); if ($userid && $password) { //listf stores a reference to the file itself $listf=fopen("username/member.txt","r"); #read the file list($duserid,$dpassword)=fgetcsv($listf,1024,"|"); $duserid=trim($duserid); $dpassword=trim($dpassword); //keep reading until the end of the file is reached while(!feof($listf)){ if(($userid==$duserid)&&($password==$dpassword)) { $_SESSION['valid_user']=$userid; break; } list($duserid,$dpassword)=fgetcsv($listf,1024,"|"); $duserid=trim($duserid); $dpassword=trim($dpassword); } fclose($listf); } ?> ------HTML------- <? $tempstr=$_SESSION['valid_user']; if (isset($_SESSION['valid_user'])){ echo "You are logged in as: $tempstr<br>"; echo "<a href="admin_home.php">Admin Home</a><br>"; } else{ if (isset($userid)) { // if they've tried and failed to log in echo "Could not log you in"; } else{ // they have not tried to log in yet or have logged out echo "<table border=0 width="600" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0 valign="top" align="center">"; echo "<tr><td>You are not logged in.<br></td>"; echo "</table>";......

UNIX/Windows Text File Compatibility
I guess it's a bit off topic but my script is written in PHP so I guess somebody out there could help me. I'm facing the well known issue between windows and UNIX related OS. The file format is crucial. The file is made on a linux box and as to be parsed on a windows box by a commercial software (so I cannot play with the code on that side). I'm having a problem to mark the end of lines. " " as you all know doesn't pass well on Windows. How could I replace this one: fwrite($fichier, "this is a new line "); to make it works with windows?

Execute A Windows Program From An Anchor Tag
I believe I am close but I have spent several hours investigating this and can't understand why it won't work. I have tried exec, system, and settled on popen from reading various notes on the subject. I am wanting to launch a file editor when I click on a link. This is strictly an internal application so I don't need to worry about escaping shell/args. This is what seems as if it should work, however it doesn't. This is on XP, latest Apache 1.3.29 and PHP. The logic makes it into the "if" test and the file exists. Thanks. if (chdir("C:Program FilesTextPad 4")) { $cmd = "start "textpad.exe" x:webprogram.php"; pclose(popen($cmd, "r")); }

Windows Program Command Exists
I can do this so easily in Unix: PHP Code: $msg = exec('whatis convert 2>&1'); echo $msg; However, in Windows using MS-DOS, I'm utterly lost. I am having to find out if ImageMagick is installed on a system for a function to operate (ImageMagick is required), and since this is a portable web application, you simply can't install ImageMagick everywhere you go. Therefore I need to know if the system home has ImageMagick or not, and in Unix, I simply do a "whatis convert" and I can tell, but since MS-DOS has no equivalent to "whatis" I can't figure it out, and just running the "convert" command within a recursive function onto thousands of images is just not a good idea.

Php Session Problems When Working With A Windows Client Program
I am currently involved in a project that involves a windows client program written in delphi and a web application written in php. I have made several php pages for the delphi program to do requests via the http component from INDY. the problems I am having are: 1) the first request from delphi app to php web app is the authenication. In which user sends username + password to the php app. If authenication is valid, a session is started and the sid is returned to the client. All subsequent requests from delphi app to php web app will have this sid as one of the arguments in the POST form request (this is one of the function in the INDY component for delphi). Even the sid is passed to the subsequent pages, the session global array is still undefined. However if I open up a web browser and create my own string request to the login page then the next page, the global array would be defined (using var_dump + echo to see the array) what is the problem? 2) does the above problem has anything to do with the http referer field? 3) this problem that I am having has been asked before on google group, but somehow the person who asked it didnt' put down the solution for it. (this only involves the web only) when I login on a page and return with a session id, then I log out.. the user is redirected to the login page again. However if the user login again (with a different login account), he would be presented with the same session ID as before. a different sesson id is presented only if the user restart the browser. why is that happening?

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.

Unix / NT Differences
I recently noticed a difference in the way a php script was acting on an NT server. the script was checking the validity of an html form. on a linux box it worked fine, but on an NT box it returned an error. something like "undefined variable i". /* checking to see if the user left the name field blank */ if(!$name) { print <font color="#999999">You did not enter your name.</font><br><br>"; $i = 1; } /* adding instructions */ if($i) { print "Please use the back button on you browser and fill out any required fields that may have been left blank and then try again.<br><br>"; } /* thanking user for form submission */ if (!$i) { print "Thankyou for submitting your feedback. If you submitted a question, a member of our team will get back to you as soon as possible.<br><br>"; } does anyone know why this didn't work on NT? also is there a site online that outlines the differences in how php acts on either platform?

Times With Unix/PHP
I must first admit that I have little experience in dealing with times, and I'm not sure where to begin. I have recorded a timestamp of the current time, but when I echo this time, it reads five hours ahead of the current timezone I'm in (which is -6 hours GMT and the server is -8 GMT). I first assumed that this time was GMT -1, but then I began thinking about daylight savings time and what not, and that just got me even more confused. point me to a good article about dealing with time, or maybe give me a quick rundown of what I need to do to make the time display correctly for my current timezone (whether it's DST or not)?
