Why Script Runs Differently With CRON?
I am running a PHP Script that downloads my RSS News (and the accompanying Thumbnail images)from the Web. When I execute it from CMD line, no problem. The News and Images are downloaded, great!
When I begin to update via CRON, no images are downloaded/written to disk.--I don't have this problem when it's RUN from a shared hosting account, it's only on my home Linux Box.

Printing Time Out Differently
I have hosting on an American server, but me being in good ol' England have slightly different time here to that of the server. When i post an entry for datetime, using NOW(), into the MySQL database, it obviously puts the server time down. I wish to be able to add 5 hours on to this without changing all the existing posts times. Is there any way of doing this through the mysql query or some other way?

How The Safe And Cgi Modes Act Differently.

Content Showing Differently
My code is behaving differently based on whether the www is included in the URL or not. Is there a way to get the code to display the same way regardless of whether the 'www' is in the url or not. My first inclination is to use some kind of header command in php but don't know if the search engines frown upon redirects.

Time - Echoing It Back Differently
I have a datetime column setup in a mysql database. My web host, which i based in Hawaii, has a different time zone to that of mine over her in good old England. I was wondering is there a way of echoing out the time from the datetime column but adding on 9 hours more?? Or even would it be easier to submit the data into the database with the time difference?

Returned Values Displayed Differently?
I've got a function in PHP that calls values from a MYSQL DB, and it returns numbers. (eg. - Woolyg - 14) Is there a way in PHP to substitute these numbers for worded values? So say if the function returned values 1-10 it displays the word 'Useless'... 10-20 displays 'Average'... and 20-30 displays 'Awesome'..?

Php Script Behaves Differently When It Run In Command Line
I found that the php script behaves differently when it run in command line rather than runing over web server. Program includes the code like: <?php function send_email($from_address, $to_address, $bcc_address, $subject, $msg, $attachments,$reminder_id) { $headers = ...; .... mail($to_address, $subject, $msg, $headers); ... } #main body of code here to grap info from database and call send_mail() function here ... send_email($newarry[FROM_ADDRESS], $newarry[TO_ADDRESS], $newarry [BCC_ADDRESS], $newarry[SUBJECT], $newarry[BODY],$attachments, $newarry[ID]); ?> I can not use lynx since it doesn't support https on my machine. The values are from database and feed in send_mail() function which will form the body message and header and pass to php mail() function. The problem is that "mail($to_address, $subject, $msg, $headers)" can not access the values passed over to it when i use 'php' command to run the script. But I can use 'print' to print out all the values but mail()function just can't get them. However, this program works fine when I use broswer to access it.

MSIE Vs. Mozilla: $_POST Handled Differently?
I am building a form w/ multiple pages. For the sake of brevity, I was hoping to not have to pass values from each page to mysql for each individual page, but rather just string the values along as <input type='hidden' ... > until the entire form had been completed. What is odd is that, in taking the values from $_POST, my PHP code works flawlessly in Mozilla, but does not function properly in MSIE 6.0. How could that be? Is it even possible that MSIE and Mozilla would handle $_POST differently? Or, is it possible that there is something else at work here... ?

Double And Single Quoted Strings Are Handled Differently By PHP
According to zend.com Double and single quoted strings are handled differently by PHP. Double quoted strings are interpreted while single quoted strings are treated exactly as written. For example: $foo = 2; echo "foo is $foo"; // this prints: foo is 2 echo 'foo is $foo' // this prints: foo is $foo echo "foo is $foo"; // this prints: foo is 2 (with a new-line) echo 'foo is $foo' // this prints: foo is $foo I can not get this to work.

Bug 23891 MySQL Runs Out Of Connections
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=23891 According to this report, what the person was asking isn't a bug, it's a feature (rimshot). I'm running into this problem almost exactly, and really don't understand what the answer is. The support person snidely suggests reading the manual, which is always great advice, but in this case really doesn't help out. Could someone explain what "If you use mysql_select_db() or slightly different connection string you can have more open connections then you have process." means? If I don't use mysql_select_db, then what do I use?

Close Window After Script Runs
When a user clicks on a link in their email, I have a browser window that opens in the background and runs a script confirming their desire to be added to our email directory. I basically want this window to open, run and then close without the user having to deal with it. Is there a way in PHP to close the window after the script finishes running in it? Or should I revert to JavaScript? I want the script to be mobile so I've sort of ruled out processing it server side. TIA.

How Often Does Garbage Collector Runs In Sessions?

I am storing my sessions in a mysql database and i am using a session expiration of 5 seconds (just for testing), but after the session is expired the session record in the db table still exists. and it looks the sessions aren't expiring either because if you still have the session cookie you can keep up with the session.

I also tried the script without the second line and the first works then.

Query Runs Multiple Times Under Heavy Server Load.
I have been having an issue with some MYSQL queries running multiple times when the server is under a heavy load. Example, if I do an 'update Table1 set item1 = 0 where 1 = 1' This runs fine under normal conditions, but will repeat itself multiple times when the server is under load. Is this just an optimization or server resource issue. If so, I would assume the query would just timeout and not run at all instead of running a few times.

Php Cron

For example: cron start => execute command => 1 = true; 0 = false; if 1, stop the cron completely from running anymore if 0, continue to run as schedule in the cron file. Another question is: How many cron file can one server have?

CRON
I am just starting messing with CRON. I can set up a cron job to run a php script each hour, but I have several web sites on one server that may need a script running. I was contemplating running one "manager" script each hour that would check a mysql table and where necessary run one of a range of possible scripts, probably one at a time to spread any load. 1. Is this the best way of doing this? If yes, what fields do you recommend? (id, ref, scriptURL, timestamp, active(1/0)) Is it worth creating a log file to keep an eye on what and when scripts have run?

Non-Cron Crons
I need to 'run' a php script on a scheduled basis (i.e. hourly). However, my hosting company doesn't allow crons and the like. My alternate strategy is to have my pc dial up and call the controlling php page. Does anyone know of a scheduling/dial-up utility (which will run under NT) that will help me achieve my goal? Or any other methods? It's been suggested that I let visitors trigger the script, but the script processing may take some time and annoy the user. I realise this isn't strictly a php question, but was hoping others might have found themselves in the same situation as myself and now have a solution.
