Real-time Output?
I'm a relative PHP newbie, so I apologize if this is a simple question. Anyway, here's my problem. I'm using a PHP script to pre-render a bunchload of insert files for an HTML page. Right now there's about 1,600, but that number could get much, much higher when the site goes live. I'll only need to re-render the whole batch once or twice a year (if that) but it's still something I'd like to be able to do in case I have to move the site to a different server, or there's a hard drive crash or etc. Basically what the script does is grab a whole bunch of information from a database and write the insert file. It does this for every single one. The problem of course, is that PHP by default does all this server-side, and then sends it to the browser. Because this process takes like ten or twenty minutes to do, the browser times out long before it's finished. Is there a way to get progressive output with PHP? Or do I need to re-do this in another language like Perl?

Real-time Chat
I wrote a PHP chat system similar to gChat which simply uses constant ajax calls to update the chat. This system is fine for a few users, but with potentially thousands of users, it is much too hard on the server. I've been considering taking the 'Comet' route, but have heard that PHP can't handle Comet very well. What would be the best language/API to perform real-time chat for a large user-base?

Display The Date As A Real Date Xx/xx/xx
Basically im putting a join date into the database but i don't want it displayed as a date, i want it as pure numbers so that i can use it to work out things such as how long they've been a member, comments per day (by dividing the posts by how many days they've been a member) ect ect So whats the best way of putting that into the database? I have a vBulletin forum and looked in the database at what they had for the join date and i saw stuff like 112823... is that seconds or something? I also need to display the date as a real date xx/xx/xx so that must be possible aswell.

Real Time Echo'ing Of Var In A Loop
i have a big loop, and rather then waiting until its done for me too see what happened, every time it runs, how can i get the browser to echo the result, and proceed to keep running the loop. basically this loop takes a long time to finish, and i had to set my max runtime past 30 seconds. i guess incorporating a refresh of some sort like this would eliminate the need for the time extension too?

Real Time Form Update
i have a script that i wrote for my clan/guild/linkshell in this online game i play that keeps track of members, the points they receive from events, items etc. in the admin panel of the script where you can update peoples points i want to know if i can add a button or something similar that if you push it updates the points which is currently in another text box in the same form in real time. I'm sorry if i'm not being clear, what i'm trying to do it make it quicker to update a members points because usually after each event they receive either 10 or 20 so i want to add a button where if you push it then it will put 10 or 20 in the 'add' box in real time. right now when you edit a member it shows their current points in a text box and under that two text boxes, one if you want to add points and another if you want to subtract points. if this isnt possible then i assume that i'd have to make it update the points in the box and keep all the values from before and just reload the page with the new value inside the box. wow, i'm sorry if i'm not very clear, please ask questions if you dont understand what i'm trying to say.

Read Data From MS Access Into MySQL In Real-time
I am currently working on a project that involves reading information from a inventory system into Access via ODBC and display the info on the web site using MySQL. I would like to create a live link between the MS Access(local) and MySQL (remote) whenever the inventory system is updated MySQL will be updated as well. I know that MyODBC will let me do the opposite of what I would like to accomplish by reading data in MySQL into Access. Is it possible to do the reverse way.

How Can One Get Real Time Stock Quotes For An Online-community?
For one of our web-communities we plan an offer of real time stock quotes incl. advanced notification services. I have the following questions: - Do you know of any services, that already offers such services in a decent way? And more important: - Does anybody know a provider of such services, that offers a real-time stock quote data stream for such a usage at a decent price? I only know of Deutsche Börse offering it for 1駨 Euro per month. That is too expensive for us.

A Real Challenge For Real PHP Programmers
<?php /* A challenge to every PHP programmer.The one who's gonna solve this problem would be deemed as PSP(PHP Supreme Programmer).The problem is this : You have to write a script that displays a list of categories and subcategorieslike this one: <select name="category"> <option value="1">Main</option> <option value="2">Main > Computers</option> <option value="4">Main > Computers > Hardware </option> <option value="8">Main > Computers > Hardware > PC</option> <option value="7">Main > Computers > Hardware > Mac</option> <option value="9">Main > Computers > Hardware > Atari</option> <option value="11">Main > Computers > Hardware > PC > History of Pc</option> <option value="">etc...</option> </select> The categories and subcategories details are stored in these two tables in a MySQL database. -categories : the categories names and ids. -cat_relations : the relations between categories.It shows which subcategory belongs to which category. The belongings between categories can go very deep and the number of categories is unlimited. This script will create the two tables and fill them with sample data. All you need to do is to change the four variables below. You can send the script back to this email : yasbergy@yahoo.com. */ //Here starts the script. Please change the values of these variables to fit your settings $user = "prospective_PSP"; $database = "db"; $server = "localhost" ; $pwd = "" ; //Connection to the database that you created mysql_connect($server,$user,$pwd) ; mysql_select_db($database); //Creation of the two tables : categories and cat_relations $categories = " CREATE TABLE `categories` (`id` INT not null AUTO_INCREMENT, `name` VARCHAR(100) not null , PRIMARY KEY (`id`), INDEX (`id`), UNIQUE (`id`)) comment = 'The categories details' "; mysql_query($categories) ; $cat_relations = "CREATE TABLE `cat_relations` (`id` INT not null AUTO_INCREMENT, `daughter_id` INT not null, `mother_id` INT not null , PRIMARY KEY (`id`), INDEX (`id`), UNIQUE (`id`)) comment = 'Which category is the daughter of which category'"; mysql_query($cat_relations) ; //Filling the two tables with sample data $cats = array('Main','Computers','Countries','Hardware','S oftware','Programming languages','Mac','PC','Atari','Winamp','History of the PC','IBM','Components','High level','USA','NYC','LA','Manhattan','India','Winzi p'); for ($i=0;$i<count($cats);$i++){ $sql = mysql_query("insert into categories (name) values('".$cats[$i]."')"); } mysql_query("insert into cat_relations (daughter_id,mother_id) values (2,1),(3,1),(4,2),(5,2),(6,2),(7,4),(8,4),(9,4),(1 1,8),(12,8),(13,8),(10,5),(20,5),(14,6),(15,3),(16 ,15),(17,15),(18,16),(19,3)"); //Now you can have a look on them through phpMyAdmin ?>

Question About The "date / Time" Continuum - Timestamp Or Add Date As Varchar?
I have a new project that consists of work order tracking. It's nice cause I can use a lot of the same code from my last project which was delivery tracking. However when I tried to create a MySQL table using two timestamp fields, it stopped me. MySQL will only allow one timestamp. So I did some googling and now am thinking I can use the php date function to get the date format of my choice and post the results into a textfield then post to MySQL as a varchar. I'll still be able to sort date records the same in my queries and it's easier for me as a n00b to manipulate the data; Ditching the time and creating expressions / queries on timestamp fields gives me fits.

Date And Time Help
I have a mySQL field that is a timestamp(14). I know that mySQL's NOW() function will insert the current timestamp into that field, but I need to do it a little different. I have a variable called $days that may be 30, 60, or 90, and I want my database to hold the equivalent of NOW() + $days. For example, I might need the value of the timestamp to be 30 days from the present. I figure the best way to do this is to use PHP's mktime() to construct a $futuretime variable that holds the timstamp I want and then insert it into mySQL and bypass the use of mySQL's NOW(). Can someone offer advice on how to do it this way, or on a better solution?

Specified Date And Time
I have a page I would like to only load on a specified date and time. How would I go about this. In other words, if someone went to the page before the defined time/date, it would say something like "Thank you, please come back in X days". On the assigned date, the full content of the page would load. Does this make sense?

Date And Time Different From Server
My current time offset is GMT wich is different from the server that I use, what I want to do is to create a $time variable and a $date variable with the time in the GMT offset and not the server's offset. I think I have to use mktime to do this but I don't know how to use it. I wnat the $time in "hh:mm" format (24h) and the $date in "dd/mm/yyyy" and also one (let's say $date2) in "dd/mm".

Determining Date/time
I'm retreiving all timestamps by user_id from a database and want to print to screen the week that the date falls in. For example, if I retrieve today's date - 07/24/01, a tuesday, I want to create a link - 07/24/01-07/29/01. (which is Monday - Sunday.) I want to retrieve all of the timestamps, and loop out the results in the format above (eg. 07/24/01-07/29/01) for every date in the table. The results would look like this: 07/24/01-07/29/01 07/30/01-08/05/01 08/06/01-08/12/01 Sample code that I have is below, I have been going back and forth trying to do this with mysql functions, or doing it with php date() The second query is commented out, but this was another way that I was considering doing this. I can't figure out how to find the week, Monday-Sunday, of any given date. Sample Code:

Date/time Problems
I'm storing the times of events (posts to a messageboard) in a mySQL database by using PHP's time() function, which, as I understand it, returns a UNIX timestamp measuring the number of seconds since midnight 1/1/1970 GMT. When I retrieve this UNIX timestamp and apply date() formatting to it, the time is wrong - apparently off by four hours. For example, it's 1:30 PDT (California) time now. My time zone is GMT minus 7, which means it's 8:30 GMT. But the date() function, applied to the timestamp, tells me it's 4:30 GMT instead. By the way, the server is hosted in Montreal, Canada (GMT-4) (on Windows 2000). Perhaps date() is telling me Montreal local time instead of GMT time? It's not supposed to do that, though...is it?
