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?

Jumping To Anchor After Submit
i have a form with lots of data, and when they click on a button it calls some javascript which sets values in hidden fields then posts to itself (usual stuff) now the problem is that i would like to bring the page back to the same spot after the submit (as its very long) Ive added anchors to each button but if i add a the anchor tag to the action part of the form, im always one click behind, ie it jumps to the one I clicked on before. ive tried using location header etc calling itself and appending #anchorname to the end of the url, but then i lose the data in the form, as no $_requests have data any more. so what i need is when you hit a button, sumit the page && go to the correct anchor. is this possible

Dynamic Anchor Based On Last Name
I have a MySQL database that hold the list of employees. I display the page using PHP. All of this works great, I sort by last name ascending so the list is A-Z. Here is what I want to do. At the top of the page I want to list each letter of the alphabet and have it as a link. From that link (lets say "G") when I click on G it jumps to the first employee that has a last name that starts with G (staying on the same page) Is there some way to create a dynamic anchor that would jump to a specific areas based on how the alphabet link was coded?

Question About Encapsulating PHP Script Inside An Anchor
Here's an interesting problem - On one of my pages, I have a place where a user can download a ZIP file by clicking on the phrase "Click to download". I want to call a logging function that I use to show that the file was downloaded. The file being downloaded is called file1.zip. What I now do is the following: <a href= "....downloadsfile1.zip"> <?php logvisitor('file1.zip'); ?>Click to download.</a> which produces the following HTML <a href = "....downloadsfile1.zip" >Click to download.</a> So far so good. But -- here's the problem -- the function logvisitor() is always called even if the user didn't click on the link. By placing the PHP function inside the anchor, I had assumed it too would only be called if the user clicked. I've also tried the following: <a href="<?php logvisitor('file1.zip'); echo '....downloadsfile1.zip' ?> > Click here to download.</a> and get the same result, namely, that the PHP function is always called.

Want To Make A Link Anchor Call A Script
In a certain PHP document at my site, I have a link to a Word version of the same document. If the user downloads it, I want to log that s/he has done this. Data logging isn't the issue. Calling a PHP script is. So what I have is something like: <a href=http://my-web-site.com/documents/mydoc.doc>Click here</a> to download a Word version of this document. Of course the <a> anchor exists only on the client side and the PHP script exists only on the server. But since clicking the anchor sends a message to the server, there ought to be a linkage that can be exploited to enable a PHP call. I just can't think of one.

Regular Expressions :: Extract Href Links With Anchor (if Possible)
In short, I have tonnes of HTML which I need to extract "href" links from complete with anchor text (if applicable). I need a preg_match_all function regex that can give me an array of 1) The entire HTML <A> tag (e.g. <a href='http:www.example.com'>Example link</a> 2) Just the URL (full URL, not just domain) and 3) Anchor text I've only seen a few suggested expressions, all of which havent worked on searches. The regex needs to be able to take care of <a> tag anomalies where the <a is separated from the 'href' through 'onclick's etc.

Using Preg_match_all To Locate HTML Anchor Link BUT Only If The Link Is A .pdf File
The subject line describes what I'm trying to do, (and after thinking about it for a day or so and trying different things; searching around for similar questions on the board,) but I still haven't found a proper regular expression. I am trying to use preg_match_all to locate HTML Anchor link BUT only if the link is a .pdf file within text from a database table. It actually was working just fine until I recently made a change regarding new lines () and (<br />) in the text that is to be searched. But after making changes regarding the new lines and things, my previous regexp doesn't work correctly. Here is the regexp I am trying to use: preg_match_all('/<a href="(.*)">(.*)</a>/U', $entry->Record['e_entry'], $res_output, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); That regexp does find each occurance of an <a href="">something here</a> link... but I need it to only find occurances of an anchor link if it is a PDF file link (ex: <a href="../something.pdf">something</a>). So I tried changing the regexp to something like this: preg_match_all('/<a href="(.*).pdf">(.*)</a>/U', $entry->Record['e_entry'], $res_output, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); But in the preg_match_all results array ($res_output) a regular <a href="">something here</a> link is ALSO found as well as the .pdf links... I am trying to only find links that contain .pdf at the end of the file name. Sorry that this is written kind of strangely, if you need more info let me know. Does anyone know what I need to change in the regexp to ONLY find HTML anchor links that contain .pdf at the end of the HREF?

PHP Slow To Execute
I have some PHP pages at.. which is exhibiting some strange slowness. It is hosted by secureserver.net (bad?). When I time how long it takes to load the main web page from the server it averages 7 seconds, but often goes to 15. When I store the main page on my hard drive, the load time is 1 second. I've tried removing PHP code that might slow things down but that only brings the load time down to 5.5 seconds best case. I have other PHP pages on the same server that seem to execute faster. The key difference between the slow main page and the faster pages is the faster pages do not use "include" to execute code in other PHP files. However with out "include" and the modularity it affords, my PHP code would be harder to maintain. What to do?
