Use Session Variables To Pass The Background Colour Of A Page
I am trying to use session variables to pass the background colour of a page loaded into a frame using session variables. I declare tyhe colour in the main page which loads first, this is the content in the main page and echos OK. $_SESSION['content_color'] = "#E9E9E9"; echo $_SESSION['content_color']; However if I echo the session variable in my loaded page in another frame I don't get anything at all.

Background Process
I would like to create a script that acts like a background process. Basically once every hour, it will access a website, gather data from it, and write that data to a file on a remote server. The PHP code would be running on this same server. Is this type of non user activated, constantly running code possible?

Exec Background Process
I want have PHP call another process (another PHP script at the moment but it may end up being a binary) in the background and not wait for process to complete, but rather instantly jump the the next line of code. I've tried things like: exec("./script.php &"); // script.php has executable permissions set exec("at -f ./script.php now"); // and #!/usr/bin/php at the top of the code Neither seem to work. They both execute script.php, but both hang around until script.php has completed.

XP Exec Background Process
I was trying to exec a background process on XP using PHP CLI, but could not get it to work. Suppose the command I want to spawn off is "cmd". On *nix, it is as easy as putting ampersand "&" at the end of the command. I tried the following on XP without working. exec("cmd"); exec("cmd >NUL"); exec("cmd /c cmd"); exec("start /b cmd"); I tried many combination, but on each one, PHP waits for cmd to exit before continuing. Doing this in Windows script host (cscript) is simple: Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.Run "cmd", 0, False The "False" parameter causes the Run method to continue immediately without waiting for the command to finish. So I could make my PHP file exec a VBS file that does the actual background execution of my command. PHP exec documentation says it will not wait if output of the command is redirected somewhere, but this didn't seem to work for me. If anyone has experience in doing something like this on Windows XP SP2,

Background Process/multithreading In PHP?
I use PHP for a user login application and it works fine. The problem is that another process should start up as soon as the user logs in and should keep on displaying different popup messages every 5 minutes. Is there a way I can implement this using PHP? Basically the idea is to get a background process running, thats it.

Running PHP Process In Background
Here's the deal, I work on a PHP based menu system for my company. The menu system allows users to run reports, change settings on our Linux box, etc. My problem here is with the reports.

Running A Background Process

Forking A PHP Process Into The Background In A Web Server Environment
I have installed the PCNTL functions[1] on my PHP enabled webserver in the interest of being able to fork a process into the background so I can do some heavy processing but return control of the browser back to the user rather quickly. However, after mucking about with PCNTL for a while and not getting the results I expected, I finally stumbled across this line in the opening parragraph on PCNTL functions on PHP.net: "Process Control should not be enabled within a webserver environment and unexpected results may happen if any Process Control functions are used within a webserver environment." Seems like they should bold and highlight in red that line, but I digress. In any case, can anyone suggest a way to fork a process off to unload a large amount of processing and return control of the web browser to the user? All the examples and whatnot I have found assume a CLI version of PHP. I want to do this on the web server! [1]I am running Apache2/PHP4.3 on RHEL 4. I downloaded the RPM for PCNTL at

Methods To Pass Variables
I am trying to pass 8 variables from a search form to different pages and I am confuse whether to use: 1) session 2) cookie 3) passing variable through URL 4) Using hidden form field My page#1 is a search form and with 8 Select fields. After press Submit Button, page#2 shows all the search results. Some search would show up 100+ rows so I am using a script to break the result pages. Each display page would limit 20 records with links <<Previous 1 2 3.... Next>> at bottom. However only the first search result page would show up properly but rest of search result won't showup. I read a few threads on this forums and I wonder what is the best method to use in my case??? It seem passing variable through URL is inefficient in my case since there are 8 variables. With session or cookie, what happen if the user decide to do another search (page#1 search form) without closing browser will the session id renew itself. With hidden form field, since my Page#2 (result display page) is not using form, will it work.

Pass Get Variables Using PHP Header()
I got a form page with 'update' & 'cancel' buttons. When 'cancel' clicked, I want to be redirected to the index page on the right page number. URL of my edit page is like this: http://localhost/form.php?op=edit&id=1&cursor=2 In the form.php I got few lines of code to get that 'cursor' before doing redirection: $iCursor = $_GET["cursor"]; $url = 'index.php?cursor='.(int) $iCursor; if ($_POST["cancel"]) { header("Location: $url"); } The new URL is supposed to be: http://localhost/index.php?cursor=2 but it showed up like this: http://localhost/index.php?cursor=0 I've tried using sessions variables as well, but the value of the cursor's still 0. Do you guys know what happened?

The whole problem, i think, is that the value is not passed when the page is reloaded, which i have seen by adding at the beginning the command echo($deleterecord);.

Pass Upload Page Variables
As I sure will become obvious with the asking of this question, I am new to programing.... I have copied and pasted my way to a successful file upload page and have built some rather ugly if elseif loops that read the file and extract the needed data from it. While the data is being parsed from the uploaded file a string variable is being built that holds some details of the process. All of this happens when the user clicks the upload button on the form. Now when all this code is finished running, I ASSUME the page reloads, because my string variable seems to be empty. So, my question is how do I keep this variable so that I can print it to the form when the process is finished?

Search - Pass Variables Or Self Post
I've created a database of documents that is searchable by a variety of fields. Currently I have a PHP page called search.php with a form to get the keywords from the user and it then passes this back to itself, runs a query and displays the results. Doing it this way the address for the search page and the results of the search is the same. This all works fine and I'm happy with it but I was wondering if it should be implemented differently where the keywords are used as a part of the address like with search engines with Google. I don't know what the advantages or disadvantages is for either method so I'm keen to hear what others think is the best method.

Pass Variables Using Form Functions
First off, yes, I understand the crapload of tutorials out there, (well, rather, I understand there /are/ a crapload of tutorials out there), the problem is my comprehension. I'm trying to pass variables, and can do so just fine with a URL, and $_GET. What I would like to learn, and be very adept at using is the Form functions and how you pass through that. The problem in my comprehending this, is how does the original page know how to post the data to the new page? Or do you create the form on the original page, and somehow, magically, the new page can read from it?

I know that The Search_and_display_script.php works fine independently, but not when included in index.php.

Getting The Server To Pass Variables And Not The Client Browser
I have a page on my site that has a form for people to include their name and e-mail that I need to send to another site to save to a database. The receiving/action page will then give a response depending on the point of failure or if the send and storage was successful. Seems simple enough, but I need to include a use an id and password with the information for the third party to accept the info. I can't include these as hidden form fields, as you could see them in the source. I can post the inputted variables to a second page and add the sensitive variables before using the header function in php to call up the third party site, but I can only use query string from there to pass the variables over, which will of course expose the details I was trying to hide. The info has to be passed, there's no db option. Other people have supposedly written functions that POST the info on from the second page so it's not part of the query string, which would be an acceptable solution, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. The ideal would be for the php page to send the users info & the sensitive info to the server, wait for the response, interpret it and write to the page the result.

Hide GET Variables --> Pass Values Using Session
I have a php file which lists some records. On this list, the records can be sorted on different columns. currently the sort column and the direction of sorting is passed using GET values, this means the user clicks the column name (which is a link) so the new sort column and direction is passed to the script <a href="main.php?page=news&sortfield=title&sortorder=asc"> now my question is, if it's possible to hide those values, so they don't appear on the url, but sorting should work anyway. This means that 1. when user clicks on column, the new sort order has to be set 2. page has to be reloaded, so new sort order gets displayed. I'd like to do this using sessions, but I don't know how to update a session value, when clicking on a link wihtout using GET values...

How Do I Pass Constructor Variables To An Assembly Using DOTNET?
How can I pass a necessary parameter while instantiating an object from a .NET assembly using DOTNET in PHP 5? The sample code that came with the .NET assembly shows how to do this is with VB and C#: VB: Dim transaction As New Paymentech.Transaction(RequestType.CC_AUTHORIZE) C#: Paymentech.Transaction(Paymentech.RequestType.CC_AUTHORIZE); I've tried the following using PHP: $transaction = new DOTNET("ptDotNetSDK20","Paymentech.Transaction(CC_AUTHORIZE) ") and $transaction = new DOTNET("ptDotNetSDK20","Paymentech.Transaction(RequestType.CC_AUTHORIZE) ") and even $transaction = new DOTNET("ptDotNetSDK20","Paymentech.Transaction(Paymentech.RequestType.CC_AUTHORIZE) ") and each time get errors "Failed to instantiate .Net object". I've even tried enclosing the parameter in single quotes, with no improvement. If I leave out the parameter and just try: $transaction = new DOTNET("ptDotNetSDK20","Paymentech.Transaction") I am able to create the transaction, but am then told "Transaction Object is invalid" when I later try to use it, which makes sense since I didn't create it with the necessary parameter in the first place.
