Starting Executable
I am trying to figure out how to get the CMD (dos) window to come up when I call a executable. I have this working on a Win2000/apache machine and am trying to use the same code on a identical machine. Here is how I start the executable. It is initiated from the browser on the machine itself: pclose(popen("start " . $exe . $params, "r")); What normally happens is a cmd window pops up showing the executable's output to screen. My php code then gets the PID for the executable by running a tlist.exe and searching for the name of the executable. I take this PID and sleep till a certain time and then kill the executable. When I do it on the new machine the executable runs but no cmd window comes up. I also cannot get a PID for the executable because tlist output shows the executable's PID but has no information about it. When I manually use Tasklist I can see the name of the executable. PHP and apache are setup identically on both machines so it must be something in windows. From looking around I think it may have to do with 'apache not interacting with the desktop' ? I need to have the cmd window come up and I feel if I can get that accomplished the PID problem will be taken care of too.

Starting With XSLT
You can see that the specific complaint is blank ('') when I get this error. The first line of my xml file is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Which I gather is pretty much a standard. I'm using a prefab script which gives me this output when I try to convert the XML file: Something bad just happened. Here's some more information: msgtype --> error code --> 69 module --> Sablotron URI --> http:/doc/dtd/StoreExport.dtd line --> 1 msg --> unknown encoding '' Any ideas where to start troubleshooting?

Starting A Project
I am working on a project where there are 6 main pages. I need to create a system whereby certain employess can login to PHPMYADMIN and dynamically update page information and maybe even create pages. I want to know if it would be more efficient to make tables for each different sub-directory (which contains page id's and page names) or if it is more effective to build one table that somehow references these sub-directories.

PHP Sessions Starting To Fail
we have a fairly busy server and we just started to have problems with PHP sessions failing. We've never had this problem before and to be honist, out server traffic is lower than it has been in prior months - so I'm really not sure what could cause this. Could anyone suggest some potentiol avenues to explore for reasons that could cause PHP sessions to fail?

Starting Application In Background
On my main page I have several hyperlinks which point to a php page that plays different .wav files. In the play_sound.php page I just echo the .wav file and when the link is clicked in the calling page the browser (IE6) opens Winamp and plays the sound (since I output a header with Content-type: audio/wav). It works great but is there any way to open the application in the background or at least minimized so you don't see it over the top of the main page? Is it a setting in HTML that determines this or does it have to be done through php?

Starting PHP, Netequite Question
I am learning php an I am amazed how easy a PHP noob like me can acheive so much in little time. I am planning to take part in the community and noticed these 3 newsgroups : -alt.comp.lang.php -comp.lang.php -alt.php Do these groups differ in purpose or is it allowed to crosspost in all 3 of these? My guess is that my newsserver gets access to these 3 ones but other people maybe can read only 1.

Remove All Lines Starting With B
Say I have the following file - dummy.txt: a 4treg a sdfas a 4egdsag b 1111 a ergdsfg b 1111 c waefasdf How would I go about removing all the lines that begin with a b?

Starting A Process On The Server
after putting my self through hell trying to call an executable with Java. (which I was doing correctly according to the specs, but there is something f$#%ed up with the implementation of Runtime.exec() on this OS--Linux for those of you who are wondering, when I recomiled everything on NT it runs as expected, which is unfortunate) Anyway, I was just curious, since I haven't really taken PHP very far, and haven't played with it since PHP3, what would one do to call an executable on the server file system? with arguments?

Values In Graph Not Starting At 0
I'm on a mission to dynamically generate stock quote line graphs. Stock quote graphs are usually very dramatic looking, even if the quote price changes slightly throughout the day. This is because the bottom label on the vertical side of the graph starts at an even increment just below or even with the lowest stock price of the day, instead of 0. I'm getting close to making this happen for my project, but am not there yet. There may also be a better way to do what I'm doing? Sometimes my values fit within my labels. Sometimes my lowest value falls below my lowest label, which would make the line in my graph go below the chart. I'm sure that would make a bad impression on my client's investors. Code:

Starting Anew: OOP? PEAR?
I believe I can write basic procedural code but: 1) Should I be using the OOP method as much as possible (meaning I would have to crack the philosophy, too) ? 2) What about PEAR - is it something like CPAN in perl (I use perl now) and should I use it to shurtcut the development? What I want to write is an application to do specialized reservation of multiple resources over time. The database model (E/R) based on the business needs is ready. I would be gratefull just for being pointed to unbiased but focused information. I am not much interested in the Computer Science theories, I am interested in the practical php experience.

Starting Up Using A Simple Database
Is it possible to create a table/array in a php-file and then collect data from it into another file by clicking a hyperlink..? I've never setup a database before. Some say I have to use MySql, Oracle and so on. In other terms. Is it possible to make a database (simple table) in a php-file and then make a query without using mySql, Oracle and so on ? How could this easily be done (fetching data from an table and then preview the info in another site when clicking a hyperlink)?

Recognize Edited Php.ini After Re-starting Apache?
I changed the php.ini file. I am under the impression that I need to re-start apache. I've tried stopping then starting apache. I've also tried just restarting it. These commands seem to be working, but the changes I make to the php.ini file are not put into effect and do not show up when I call phpinfo(). Anyone have any ideas how I can get my new php.ini recognized?

Stopping And Starting A Process Via Web Form
This sort of ties into my other thread I started. I just figured out how to compile the CGI binary version of PHP so now I can have the script I needed running in the background, do so right there at the web server. (PHP command mode is up and running beautifully right now) Anyway, my question is in regards to making a form to start/stop/restart a particular running process on a Linux machine using PHP. The process will be my PHP script that I want running all the time in the background. Starting is going to be pretty straightforward, as I can just use a system command functions to explicitly start the script I want to start. Such as exec("/path/to/the/script/background.php") My trouble comes with how do I check to see if the script is currently running, and then give the option to stop it or restart it? I can make the stop function just do a system command exec("Kill -9 $PID") but how can I get the PID to pass to the kill function? Also I am vary wary of holding the the PID in a variable, because then my script could be called like "http://some.com/script.php?PID=3455" which would be a "Bad Thing" [TM]. I guess basically I need to know how to either kill via the name of the running process ("man kill" did not give me any hints about that) or another linux system command to give me the PID of a particular running process. Also if anyone has any thoughts on the (in)security of this, and how I can make sure this is hack proof I would really appreciate it! It seems to me that as long as I reset any variables passed to the system to blank at the top of my script, then it wouldn't matter if someone passed a variable via the URL. But I don't know that for sure.

Problems Starting A Console Application Though PHP
I have an Apache Webserver running on Win2000. I try to start a console application an the server though PHP, with the functions exec() or passthru() but it doesn't work. The application starts though, but doesn't work in the same way I would start it local on the web server (I mean though a "normal doubleclick"). I think it depends on the type of application, cause I ca start with PHP for example other programms and they work fine!! Before I write about the specifications of my console application, I have this question: What are the technical differences between starting an application through PHP and starting it local on the machine?

Starting Apache 2.0.58 With PHP 5 Gives _zend_list_delete Error
I want to set up my own web server, so I first of all compiled Apache 2.0.58 (I've read that Apache 2.2.2 doesn't work with PHP 5). I managed to compile it and get it to display some webpages. But of course no webserver is complete without PHP, so I proceeded to compiling PHP 5. I did everything exactly the way the instructions say at PHP.net, but when I try to run, I get the following error: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/libphp5.so: undefined symbol: _zend_list_delete Code:

Appending Text To A File, Starting A New Line.
Im appending text to a file. And I'd like each 'append' would start on a new line of a file. I tried 'n'. but it doesnt work. here is my code: $fp = fopen("$filename", "a"); for ($i = 0; $i < count($arrText); $i++){ fputs($fp, $arrText[$i]); } fclose($fp); note: one of the array $arrText, eg. $arrText[3] = "line 3" . "n"; the next array $arrText[4] will NOT start on a new line, it will just joint the rrText[3].

Convert String To Integer - Not Starting With A Number
I can't get PHP to convert a string to an integer (or pull the numbers OUT of a string) if it doesn't start with a number, which is an issue. Basically, i'm trying to pull the integers only out of various model numbers for pieces of equipment our store is selling - examples would be something like S820D or MS1798. I only need the 820 or the 1798 from these strings, but PHP doesn't want to play nice with either: $product_model = "S820D"; $var = intval($product_model); or $var = (int) $product_model;

No Cookie Sent When Starting A Session - Windows Server 2003
I got PHP installed and running via IIS. When I call a start_session(); I can see the session file created in the c:mp directory (specified in php.ini). However, no cookie is sent to the browser. php.ini is set to use session cookies. Cookies are for certain not being blocked by the brower. I am accessing the site via its own IP (i.e. http://23.64.18.112/test.php) The result is that every time I refresh the page, I get a new session data file in the temp directory because it is unable to associate the user with the session data since there is no session cookie on their system. Passing session IDs via URL is not an option. I need session cookies to work.

Php Script To Filter A Text File And Extract Lines Starting With Keyword?
For a class, students are going to run an experiment on line. Each time a subject runs, his/her data is appended to one giant text file. Their own data set will be just one line starting with the keyword they gave as identification. The faculty does not want the students to be able to download and see the giant data file. He wants the students to only download and see the data that starts with their own identification tag. in unix, filtering a file to keep only the line starting with code MCB would look something like tail -f your_file_name | grep MCB from what I read. Given the concerns the faculty has for protecting the database, what do I need to look into to write a php script that would access the data file, but only show a web page with the data corresponding to the students identification code?

Starting A Session Or Pulling Info Back From A Session?
I am taking the advice of a moderator and going to stop using Dreamweaver as a crutch for writing PHP apps. I have some questions about sessions and have been reading through some online tutorials, but have some questions that may seem simple stupid about sessions, but would appreciate some input. Do you have to put this at the top of each page on the site when using sessions to keep the sessions going from page to page or do you just put it on a page when you are starting a session or pulling info back from a session? <?php session_start(); ?>
