Unicode Support
If I was to make a web application written in php "unicode" compatible, what exactly does that mean and is it hard to achieve? For example, wordpress is unicode compatible, but phpBB is not.

MySQL 5.0, FULL-TEXT Indexing And Search Arabic Data, Unicode
MySQL 4.0, FULL-TEXT Indexing and Search Arabic Data, Unicode [This version has a couple subtle edits from the orginial I posted on mailing.database.myodbc - I'm cross posting here on this topic/subject related newsgroup] I was wondering if anybody has experienced the same issues challenges I'm experiencing I'll describe shortly. Once resolved some fascinating and powerful multi-lingual apps incorporating non-English/latin character sets can be realized by many developers. I have a Unicode utf8 English - Arabic - Hebrew - Greek (and several other languages) database in Microsoft Excel. I KNOW that it is Unicode utf8 data because MySQL tells me it recognizes the encoding as such but not in the context I want. Allow me to explain ... I can search the Unicode utf8 encoding with no problem in Excel. While in Excel I highlight a complete word or a partial string of an Arabic word copy it to the clipboard (i.e. memory). I then do a find and the process is the same successful result as if it was an English string. MySQL 5.0 is supposed to handle Unicode utf8 I created a MySQL database I named: languages CREATE DATABASE languages ; and I implemented the following command on a MySQL command prompt: ALTER DATABASE languages DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8; No problem (so far) MySQL seemingly recognized utf8 and accepted it. My understanding is with the ALTER command the tables I create against languages will be utf8. I now created a table I named mainlang which denotes it will be the main table for my languages. mysql>CREATE TABLE mainlang ->( ->langNumID varchar(30), ->colB varchar(30), ->colC varchar(30), ->primary key (langNumID, colB) ->); Again so far no problem: Table successfully created. My third column 'colC' is where the Unicode data will be stored. I now attempt to import the database from my Excel file into my MySQL database as follows: mysql>load data infile 'c:arabicdictionary.csv' ->into table mainlang ->fields terminated by ',' ->lines terminated by ' ' ->(langNumID, colB, colC); ERROR 1406 (22001): Data too long for 'colC' at row 1 So what to do? I did a search and found other people seemingly had the same problem and someone suggested: ALTER DATABASE languages DEFAULT CHARACTER SET cp1250; I dropped mainlang, recreated it, redid the load and Lo and behold ... it seemed to work. No Data too long error occurred and when I did the following query: mysql>select langNumID, colB, colC ->from mainlang ->where colB = ��' I see colA have a correct numeric value, colB a correct numeric value (4994) and for colC a string of unintelligible characters with diacritical marks, oomlats etc. which I know is the cp1250 encoding interpretation of the Unicode utf8 data which is similarly unintelligible in its own regard. Now what I try is: do a copy of the obscure colC cp1250 character string into the clipboard/memory and then do the following tweak on the original select statement to see if I can search on the (now) cp1250 character string: mysql>select langNumID, colB, colC ->from mainlang ->where colc = 'paste of the cp1250 character string' The computer would not allow a paste unless I pressed the escape key. On initiating this select command I got an empty set (no match) My questions are: Has anyone been successful creating a Unicode utf8 MySQL database that accepts Arabic? If yes, how did you get around or not encounter the Data too long issue? Have you tried the cp1250 (or cp1251 - same mechanics same results) work around as I have? Are you able to search the cp1250 character string (my colC)? If yes, how did you successfully manage to do it? Lastly, if I take the cp1250 encoded string and paste it into Excel ... I can string search the cp1250 encoding with no problem. Also, here's how I know my Unicode utf-8 data is correct apart from my own manual cross-referencing and being recognized by MySQL in some respect: When I copy the Unicode utf8 encoding and try to paste it into the select command to see what would happen I get the following error: ERROR 1257 (HY000): Illegal mix of collations (cp1250_general_ci, IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci, COERCIBLE) for operation '=' So what I have here is a situation where MySQL is recognizing Unicode utf8 encoding but not from the respect of packing a table! Go Figure ...

Does PHP 5.2 Support The <?= Tag?
I've just tried loading an application that I wrote some time ago. Throughout the application I use the <?= php tag. I'm now running PHP 5.2.x and I've noticed that the compiler seems to be ignoring these tags and printing them as text rather than executing the PHP script contained within the tags. Are the tags still supported? Is there some way of enabling/disabling them in php.ini?

5-like XML Support In 4
Has anyone thought of developing a library aimed for PHP4 which would give the kind of functionality that PHP5 has when it comes to working with XML (http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-xmlphp.php)? This especially covers SimpleXML (http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-simplexml.php). I would like to start developing using those fabulous features, but the provider we use for most of our clients' apps and sites is still on 4.3.4 and is very slow in updating PHP, so I don't see them switching to 5 any time soon.

No MySQL Support With PHP On RH 8
I'm using Redhat 8.0. Apache, PHP and MySQL were installed as part of the default installation. If I try to access MySQL from PHP with mysql_connect(), I get error messages referring to undefined functions. This generally indicates that PHP was compiled without MySQL support. I know how to set up MySQL support when installing from a tarball, but since PHP was installed from an RPM, I'd prefer to keep it this way, as RH tends to have wildly different ideas about file paths to standard installations (not to mention dependency issues). I was going to ask if there is any way of specifying the same paths with RPM that you normally specify when you do a tarball installation. However, when I look at the data from phpinfo(), it looks like everything is set up correctly - MySQL is enabled, the path to apxs is set, etc. But I still can't use any db functions. I've upgraded all of the above rpms just to make sure no dependencies were missed out, but with no success.

Zend Support Is Really Bad.
just wanted to share my experiences with Zend "the php company". I decided to do the test drive of the Enterprise grade developer studio. Big mistake![color=blue] >From day one I had nothing but problems.[/color] After realizing that something terrible had happened to my webserver during the install process, I figured WTF maybe I did something wrong. I wiped my hard drive and started again, this time using the Apache/MySQL/PHP that comes with it, rather than pointing it to my own. Same result, but this time I realized the installer had fubared some scripts and locations. It also missed a few permissions that it should have set. I tracked them down, repointed some scripts to the right sockets, and I was off. At that point I decided to install the Developer Studio Client on my workstation. That thing just crapped out saying it couldn't find some libraries. So I created a support ticket to ask what I should do. They kindly pointed me to an obscure knowledge base article, that didn't appear when searching ANY of the keyword errors. This article told me, that I needed to hexedit the installer, then after it installed I had to hexedit the ZDE binary! What the hell kind of installer requires you to hexedit it, before it can work? Furthermore the article claimed the binary was in a place that didn't exist, so I had to updatedb and do a search on the filename, cross my fingers and hope against hope I had picked the right one. Fortunately I did. After I installed the client, I decided to double check developer studio server, and make sure everything was going fine. Thats when I ran into this error. "ini_modifier error: ini_modifier was not set" It was the sole content on EVERY page! I created a new support ticket asking what it meant. They emailed me asking me to send them a file generated by thier troubleshooting utility. So I ran the utility, and sent them the file. Another day passes by, this time they ask for access to the server. I give them the access they request and the password. It's now been a week. I have updated the ticket daily asking if anything has been done. They are completely silent. Tonight I decided I had enough, told them thanks for showing me what it must be like to be a real paying customer, and asked them to close the ticket. I'll watch and wait and see how long it is until they get back with me, or close the ticket. And to add insult to injury, when I emailed my sales person who said in his initial email to me, that he would be happy to answer any questions I may have, etc and so forth. I got my message back in seconds, stating that the email address was incorrect, the email was sent to mark@zend.com same as the letter was sent from, same as he said was his email! He's supposed to be the Director of Inside Sales, but it appears in the 5 days I took to evaluate the product he has been fired, or re-assigned or something. Ok well I'm not out anything but a lot of my time, however I just wanted to warn any developers considering Zend products, that they didn't care about me when I was supposed to be evaluating the enterprise grade product.

GD Support For Both GIF And JPEG
I want to know it it's possible to have both GIF and JPEG support in one PHP installation. Right now I want JPEG support for an online photo gallery program I'm working on (I've currently got the GD library between v.1.3 and v.1.6.1 which has GIF support but not JPEG support), but I'm afraid that if I install a newer version of GD (which doesn't have support for GIF due to the Unisys patent problem) and I want GIF support later on, I won't be able to have GIF support, or get it again, because the old GD ibrary with GIF support isn't available. I have full access to the machine, so installing libraries isn't a problem. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this? I've read that it's "difficult, but not impossible, to have support for both GIF and JPEG in one PHP installation", but how would I go about doing it?

About PHP & XSLT 2.0 Support

I donno if anyone know any trick to do that using XSLT 1.0. In Both case I want to know - 1. Is it possible to do it using XSLT 1.0 & PHP 4.4 with any XSLT extensions ? If yes pls provide some sample code snippet & XSLT extensions I need to use it 2.

Support For BerkeleyDB 4.2
I am wondering if it's possible to build PHP to support the newer Berkeley DB 4.2 instead of 4.0. I have libdb-4.2.so installed in a none system directory: /home/me/db/lib/libdb-4.2.so so when I configure, I do: ../configure --prefix=/home/me/php --with-apxs2=/home/me/apache/bin/apxs --enabled-dba=shared --with-db4=/home/me/db/lib configure ran without problem so I did a make and make install afterward. Again, there is no error. However, the dba.so built is still linked against the older version of Berkeley DB: $ ldd /home/me/php/lib/php/extension/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/dba.so libdb-4.0.so => /lib/libdb-4.0.so .... as if it's ignoring the --with-db4[=DIR] configuration flag.

MySQL And PHP Support
I don't understand why so few free services offer MySQL databases, and when then do, it's usually limited to one. I mean, plenty of free sites are willing to give away up to 1 GB of space for all kinds of files (images especially), but why can't they offer more than one simple table? Is it because there is just a lot less demand, or maybe because they'd like to present it as a special added feature just for show (like domain parking, which can be done by anyone). Or am I just completely missing the point?
