Possible To Check To See If Windows Process Is Running From PHP?
I need to check the state of a processes from within a PHP script on a
Windows machine. All I need to know is whether or not the process
exists (i.e., is running). Anyone have any ideas?
I searched the archives and found proc_open(), but if it can do what
I'm trying to do, I can't figure out how.

Continuously Running Process
Would it be a high load on a server to have a php process run from the executable, continuously looking for existence of files in a folder and processing them if they are there? Just an endless loop that checks for the existence of the files. If they are there, do something with them, if not keep looping? It is not a web accessible application but something for server admin.

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. Some of them can take 10-15 minutes to run. That's a long time to force the user to sit and watch a "Loading..." screen. What I'd like to do is somehow send the report process to the background.

Running A Background Process
I' m trying to run a php script in background using exec(). I have a browser request to eventtest.php, which contains: <?php exec("/usr/local/bin/php -q event1.php &"); die(); ?> ==== event1.php has: <?php error_log("initiate event1", LOG_FILE); die(); ?> the result is that the log entry is never generated if eventtest.php is requested, but works fine if event1.php is requested directly. While eventtest.php is running, i see stuff like this from ps -aux, repeated many times. Any ideas what is going wrong? Is there a better way to initiate a background php process.

Best Way To Structure A Continuous Running, High Load Process?
I have a web app that needs to continuously upload large amounts of data to a server. What to upload and when to upload it is stored in a database, but it needs to do this continuously, and needs to be pretty fault resistant. I was thinking cron jobs, but it really needs to run all the time, not at regular intervals. Is there some way so I can make it so it runs constantly, processing it's queue? Also, could it use a new process to handle the queue items? So if there are three items in the queue, it will make three processes, but still keep processing?

How Can I Kill A Running Child Process When Client Closes Connection
running PHP5 under Apache 2.2 (prefork) as module, I call a Python script that does a sometimes lengthy MySQL query, using parameters supplied by the browser client. When the query takes too long, the user may want to press the STOP button and issue a different query. But the previous child process will run to completion in any case, wasting server resources at the very least. In the current setting there seems to be no way to forward the user action to kill the child process. The system() call is blocking, and the only chance to see the closed connection in the PHP script is after it has returned. Is there a work-around? I'm advised not to use the pcntl_fork() etc. in embedded PHP. Are there other possibilities? Please don't say I should have done everything directly in PHP, without a system() call. I'm much better in Python, that's the reason why, and also I think the call to execute_query (or whatever it is called) directly from within PHP will block as well. Any suggestions, best proven real-life solutions, are welcome. I thought this must be an everyday problem, or?

Want To Spawn Process From Windows PHP
I wanted to write some code purely on Linux, but unfortunately the document scanner drivers are non-existent for the high-end commercial document scanners. So, I had to port my Linux PHP project to Windows PHP (WAMP). There, I found a scanning tool (Kodak Image Scan - imgscan.ocx) that I can put on a VB form, tell it to scan some documents into a TIF file, and then shut down. I can run this VB app at command line just fine, but when I run it from either a popen(), system(), or exec() call, it won't detach from the PHP page. Instead, it just sits there. I can see the VB exe I made is being loaded properly in RAM, but unfortunately it sticks and won't unload on its own, nor will it tell the scanner to engage. I have to kill the VB exe and then the PHP page continues. What's the way to spawn a detached process from PHP on Windows?

Running PHP On Windows XP
I installed Apache/MySQL/PHP on Windows XP. There was one problem. Microsoft IIS 4 or higher was defaultly selected for MySQL. It did not work. When I double-click a PHP file, a lightning-fast MS-DOS window opens and closes. When I go to start, then go to run, then type "cmd", then type the PHP file path, I take a long time to see what happened. I want my PHP file to work on my browser offline just like uploading and visiting my PHP file on a web host with my browser online. In other words, I want the interactivity of my site to happen in my computer. How can I do that?

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?

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?

Getting Your Own Process ID

I see that I could use the semaphore mechanism, but I'd like for my code to be portable, and that extension is not enabled in many places. I need some way for a process to uniquely identify itself. It can then look at the storage container (flat file, DB, whatever is appropriate in context), check to see if the requested semaphore is available, and if it is, acquire it and then mark itself as the owner. It can then check that it did in fact get ownership (as opposed to another process which attempted to acquire it at the exact same moment) before proceeding. Code:

Process Form Twice
I have a basic form on one website. But the way it is setup is once the submit button is hit it takes them to a different site where the form is processed. Is what I need to do is have a way that once the submit button is hit I need to save the persons name only in a text file or something then have it go to the other page to be processed. Does that make sense. i know how to save the info from the form to a text file but don't know how to have it do both, save the name and then take the user to the other page where the registration form is processed.

Process This Form
I want to have a form which has several rows for example: username1 firstname1 surname1 username2 firstname2 surname2 username3 firstname3 surname3 username4 firstname4 surname4 What I want to do is when this data is typed into the form to save it in a MYSQL db. The problem isn't with the saving, it's with the form itself. What is the best way to process this? I can't really name the various fields "username1" and "username2" because I would then need to replicate these as variables and this form generated could have an number of rows so hard coding the form field names with numbers makes it hard. Is there any way I can do this?? How have other people tackled this sort of thing in the past?

PHP Load Process
I've tried searching around for information on how PHP parses and renders itself. Basically, I'm writing a bunch of scripts that rely on a core file. The core itself is quite large (around 20k), but the scripts that reference it don't often utilise the entire contents of the core. Inside the core are functions that are never called *inside* the core, and a bunch of constants and globals that I call from the referencing scripts. So I guess in a nutshell, I want to know if when I call require, does PHP read the *entire* file? Or does it only read the bits it needs? I realise that last sentence makes me sound like I have trouble putting legos together, but I would just like to know how PHP goes about it duty.
