Launching Files Locally
I have PHP and Apache installed on a windows box that is attached to
my home theater. I wrote some code that indexes the contents of a
directory that has some video clips etc in it, and the outputted HMTL
is nothing more than a series of hyperlinks to these files, with some
CSS to liven it up a bit.
The problem is this: when I click on one of the links, rather than
launch the file, it attempts to "download" it (even though the file
resides right there on the machine anyway). In my hyperlinks, I
specified to use the "file:" protocol instead of HTTP. I really just
want it to launch the file.

Launching A URL

It's possible to do this?

Launching Application
I developed an internal website (hosted in a company server), which contains a few php scripts (forms users fill out and e-mail to others upon send). I have an e-mail instruction in the scripts, with a list of e-mail addresses. I would like to change this so users can launch Lotus Notes from the script upon sending, and choose to who send the form (instead of having fixed e-mails in the script). The company has given me the path where the .exe program resides on the server.

Launching Second Script When First One Finishes
I have numerous PHP scripts that connect to our Oracle database and export csv files. The amount of time it takes for each script to finish varies. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes, sometimes 30 seconds. I would like to figure out a way to have the first script run and when it finishes, launch the second script and so on and so on.

Launching PHP From HTML Form
i build an app using PHP/MySQL/web. the APP and PHP programm are both located on the CD. step 1: i want it to a first interface (installation phase) to be an HTML page. step 2: I want it to get some informations for the installation step 3: i want the form to launch a PHP page (on the CD) and using the PHP.exe (on the CD) step 4: the PHP page send my modules using FTP step 5: once the FTP transfert is finished, the PHP page open a new page (that has been just uploaded) on the web server. my problem is in step 3, how is it possible to launch a PHP script from an HTML page which is not on a web server?? I can do it easily with a SHELL script but i prefer the graphic interface of an HTML form. I know it is either possible using GTK but i don't want to use it because i'm not surre the client has a JVM.

Launching Community Site
I'm creating a community website, and I want the following features: - members are able to write reviews - members are able to post classified ads (I'd like to be able to charge money for this) - ability in the future to create groups within the community. Can anyone suggest a content management system (CMS) or other off-the-shelf solution? Drupal springs to mind, but then I don't have a lot of experience with these kinds of builds, so I may be missing something that is out there.

Launching A Background Script From Php In Windows/IIS
I'm trying to build a PHP page which launches another php script to be run in the background. The web page should return immediately, while the background script may run for 10 minutes or something. Unfortunately I'm getting all kinds of weird behaviour.. In my main script I'm using exec() (also tried the other options) to start a ..bat file. This actually works, the batch file is launched and is able to write something to disk.. Now if I put the following line in the batch file: c:phpphp.exe -q backgroundscript.php then instantly I'm seeing about 30 php.exe processes being created, but nothing seems to be happening really. The processes seem to be dying immediately and replaced by new ones. So apparently php is trying something but fails and tries again. Both the script and the batch file work fine from the command line. Group 'Everyone' has read/execute rights for the batch file, the php script and php.exe. I have tried prefixing the command with START /b or cmd.exe /c but neither seem to make any difference. Also I tried redirecting stderr, stdout and stdin to NUL Server is Win2k, IIS5, php4.3.0. Searched the php docs, tried suggestions but it doesn't work, maybe because they use Apache. My guess is that the anonymous user IUSR_* doesn't have the rights to do something, but I can't figure out what.

Launching An Application: Does PHP Limit Network Connections?
I am having a problem using PHP to launch an application on the server. All the basics work, but I cannot launch more than 4 instances of the application. This application functions as a server itself, and I specify the port number when I launch it, so my theory is that I am reaching some limit on network connections. This is my basic launch sequence: <?php $command = 'c:Program Files (x86)myprogmyprogram.exe' $arguments = ' /Port:' . $port; exec('C:PsToolspsexec.exe -accepteula -d -s "' . $command . '" ' . $arguments . ' 2>&1', $output); ?> Note that I am using psexec because I need to keep track of the process ID number and kill the application when a user logs out. I can provide more details if needed, but if there is indeed some upper limit on port connections, that would certainly explain what I'm seeing. Incidentally, if I try this same procedure launching "Internet Explorer", my limit is 9 (instead of 4). If I launch a non-network application, it seems that I can launch as many as I want without limit. Note: I am using Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP1

Launching Several CURL Posts Without Waiting To Download Pages..
Hy there, ok, i`ll get to the problem: My php script has a function named curl(some curl options and instructions), it doesn`t matter that, what it matters: $var1 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage1.php"); $var2 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage2.php"); $var3 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage3.php"); $var4 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage4.php"); Ok, so it downloades the content of somepage_.php to the $vars, however somepage_s_.php contains several scripts which takes a verry long time for the page to download, so my script waits for each page to download, one by one, as line by line, what i would like do rezolve is to start the curl without waiting to download the first page, then the second and so on, it should start the download of all the pages at almoust the same time. That would be all, please help, i`ve lost 4 nights trying to get this fixed but no luck.

Updating DB Locally
I have a database on my local machine that I make entries and corrections on. I'd like to be able to upload that to my server and have that update the database that's on the server. What I've been doing is saving the local file as a backup. Then I have to edit the backup, deleting the create file info and all previously uploaded entries before I can import the text file to the server. Is there an easier way to do this so I won't get duplicate entry notices. I'd like the info from my local file to overwrite the server file like FTPing a new web page will overwrite the old one. Is this possible to do with mySQL?

Php.ini Sessions Locally
I've got a test server set up on my Mac with PHP5 and mySQL, and I've got two problems that I believe can be solved through the PHP settings on my local machine. First, the new buld of PHP seems to default the 'display_errors' setting in PHP to 'Off', and I'd like to turn it on. I've found several online posts about how to edit your php.ini file, and I've gone in the edited my php.ini file and changed the 'display_errors' to 'On', and uncommented the line, yet it still does not work. If anyone knows how to fix that, or have any ideas of what I might have done wrong, that'd be great. And then I'm working with a login/admin setup that I'd like to test locally, but sessions does not seem to work on my machine. It works when I upload it via FTP to my hosting server, but not locally. I'm thinking that there might be a setting for this in my php.ini file as well. Anyone have any ideas?

Errors Shown Locally (in The HTML)
I have a script with some evals. When an error occurs in the eval PHP+HTML code, the error is shown after that a lot of HTML has already been output (Provided that the error is not very serious - a warning for example - and that there is some HTML code before the PHP code from which the error comes). This is annoying. I would like the error msgs to be displayed like the parse errors msgs get displayed (that is alone and top, right of the page). Is this possible with errors being displayed locally in the HTML?

PROBLEM: My PHP Scripts Try To Download Instead Of Run Locally (Win2K IIS)
I've had PHP on my Win2K server running IIs 5 for about 2 weeks now. I have an annoying problem in that I can not run the php scripts/pages locally, instead they open up in the browser as a download. By that I mean that If I access them via my lan or the net from another computer on my lan, the webpages that have php on them and end in a .php extension all run fine and work just great. BUT if I open up the browser on the IIs server and do a file open and browse to the php page I want, I get the download file box as the computer trys to download the page instead of executing it. An alternative method of getting the same error is if I use the browser on the server to locally open a web page up with a link to a php script/pagepage, I see the web page just as it should appear, but as soon as I click on the link to the PHP script/page the same download & save thing happens instead of the page just being processes normally. This is a real pain when I want to just run some scripts locally for testing or admin purposes.

Locally Works/remotely Breaks? (Oracle Related?)
I'm diving into this crazy PHP thing, and I find myself a bit stuck. Locally I can get a site to work very well. However, whenever I ask a buddy of mine to test the site and I give him my IP it doesn't work. I have a form. The form checks username/password against a database and then either sends you back to the form or forwards you to the next page. Is: header("Location: http://localhost/nextpage.php"); the proper form of redirection? The issue on the not at my computer logins is in this redirect. I'm not sure what I need to send, but I was getting connection errors in the beginning which aren't showing up anymore. Then I was getting unreferenced index errors, but I put all the variables in a session and that seems to work now. And now I'm stumped because I'm not getting errors in the log.

Page Coming Up Blank/white Online, But Works Fine Locally...
I'm going to start off making this question very vague and general (as to not over-clutter it with needless info), but if you want more details I can provide them... Basically, I have a PHP page (that serves to update a table on a SQL database) that works fine locally. But when posted online, the page doesn't even show up. There's no error or anything - the page is just blank (white). It displays this way both on IE and Firefox... It is one of many pages in the site. The site itself has the user log in, and then they can post a new record to the database, delete a record, or update/edit a current record. All other pages are working/displaying fine, but it's just that "update/edit" page that comes up blank (and again - it works fine locally, just not online).

Use Virtual Hosts To Develop Locally But Upload Throws Error In Source File References

When I upload those to my web site for customer review under mywebsite.com/clients/site1/ it throws some of the source file references off and it does not work properly. My references are like: require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/utility/top.php"); Obviously those will not work since $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] references mywebsite.com. Is there anything I can do in apache.conf for a virtual directory that would make it so when I upload a site for customer review, I don't have to change the source references?

Delete Files - Check All Files In /home/radar/kabc*.png
Trying to figure out a code to do something that is probably simple, but I'm not able to find anything to combine to make it happen. Here is what i'd like to accomplish. Check all files in /home/radar/kabc*.png --- if those files are older than x hours, delete them. After deleting those files, I'd like to copy new "placefiles" in the place of the image, basically, copy test.png to kabc101.png (example filename). I'd like to not loop this process if the file size is equal to 123456 bytes exactly, and have the owner of those files a certain user. What this is, is a radar software that I use to upload to my personal website, so if there's no weather going on, I don't use the radar software, and it's not updating the radar on the web, so, after so many hours of the software not uploading anything new, i'd like to find a way to have these placefiles put in place. Once I start my software again, it'll overwrite those files automatically. Does this seem like it's possible? Is it an easy task?

Including Files In Different Direcories That Include Files From Teirs
Okay, I made a simple AJAX shoutbox and I want to include it on all my pages. To insert the shoutbox I simply type <? include('/shoutbox/shoutbox.php');?> into my HTML page. The problem is, that in /shoutbox/shoutbox.php I also include settings.php, functions.php, and some other files, and when I include /shoutbox/shoutbox.php into my index page, /shoutbox/shoutbox.php tries to call settings.php from the same folder that my index file is in, since I just 'included' it in index's source. So my question is, is there any way, without using frames, to include a PHP file as it would be if you link directly to it in the address bar, but placed into another file in a different directory?

I understand putting them in the php include directory shoudl do this. For example, let's say the directory I put them in is /www/phpIN/, and /www/ht/ is the root web directory. So I put "conn.php" in the inlcude directory (/www/phpIN/conn.php) and removed it form CONNECTIONS directory.

I have created an form (n.php) that POST the name of the folder to a second file (creatdir.php) everything is cool until I have to edit the third file. How can I pass the value of one of the formfileds to a second file and them read this value as a variable to be consumed as mentioned above? Or actually right whatever is on the third field to this position (not using variables).
