Standalone Program
I'm going to be doing a program for an elderly couple who owns a horse ranch, and wants some software to keep track of all their horses, owners, doctors, etc. I'm going to be writing the program in PHP using a MySQL database.
I set up one like this for my work and it runs off of Apache on our server. I need this program to be a stand-alone install, without installing MySQL, PHP, and Apache seperately. How could I go about integrating it all into one package?

Standalone Problem
I've set up PHP 4 with Apache on an intel/Redhat 6.2 linux box with no network interface. Using URL PHP code with the .php extension works fine, but php code in html documents does nothing. In fact, view source shows the php code on the browser.

Multithreading For Standalone Php
I'm trying to write a mutlithreading server with standalone PHP. Concurrent requests is possible. Normally it is done by handling each socket spawn by serversocket in separate threads. But it seems that there is no thread support in PHP at all. Would anyone give me some suggestions? BTW, is the community considering add thread support to PHP in the future? What is the major difficulty to import an existing thread library (such as pthread library) into PHP

Standalone PHP Installation
I have never installed PHP before. It's always been set up for me. I have a client whose site is hosted as a virtual server. I'm trying to set up ecom for him, but the mhash library is not installed. So I use fopen to open a script on my website that hashes the variables. Obviously, this is not ideal because if my site goes down his ecom will too. I asked the tech people at his hosting company to set that up, but they said they don't do custom compilations. "As per compiling PHP with --with-mhash=[DIR] this is how that works: any custom compilations, custom applications, etc. are up to the user to compile and install. Use gcc/etc. to compile PHP with the options that you like. The php.ini in /etc is available for your customization as well. If you compile your own binary of PHP, you can place it where you like (or leave it at the default) and get the paths updated to use it, or you can obviously use it directly if necessary." I was planning on compiling a new, minimalist version of PHP (with just mhash) in a different directory, but I'm hesitant to do it in case I get unexpected results (I don't want to take the rest of his site down). Can anyone tell me if this sounds feasible? What kind of pitfalls can I expect? And can anyone recommend a tutorial? Most of the tutorials I've found assume you have root access and/or are compiling PHP/Apache together. I was also wondering if it would be possible to just compile the mhash library and add it to php.ini? That seems to be the simplest thing, though I don't know if it would work...

Standalone Solution
I was asked to write a database solution for a friend.. it was supposed to do the normal add/retrieve/modify/search functions of a databse. i started with vb6 then decided to use php/sql. I might sound really dumb and ignorant but the question is... if i want to "package" this to him... how can i do this without having to personally go and install a webserver and php and sql and the rest so he can use it just through his web browser? can i use an installer that will allow it to be packaged so after the install he would just have to open the databsae through his browser?

Standalone DB (like Access) For PHP/Apache
I am in the process of translating an WIndows/ASP/MsSQL Content Managment System (CMS) to Linux/PHP/???. Is there a popular database I can use that will allow standalone files like Access did (which used .MDB files)? In order for the CMS to work, there needs to be a standalone database file that is self-contained, just like Access .mdb files are under Windows. I guess I am asking for an Access equivalent for Linux/Apache.

Standalone Executable File
I downloaded the tarball and while was able to compile within PHP with no problems, I am having memory timeout issues involving image manipulation with extremely large images (800K - 2mb). Requirements are to create thumbnails for even these banner-sized images, but PHP + GD + [huge image] = too much memory. I'm trying to prove that it is undoable, though the suggestion was to do a command-line GD call to the image instead of using the PHP functions to do so to save some memory; if it still times out, then it's undoable altogether. However, I cannot find the standalone executable file that will ensure I can run GD from the command line.

Submit Standalone Programs With Php
I'm building an application which submits scheduled php jobs. The way I would like it to work is to have one php program to submit the other php programs on a scheduled basis. This control program shouldn't have to wait until one job finishes before it can start the next one; instead, it should be able to submit all the jobs in one go, but it also needs to be able to be informed of the return codes of the submitted programs so dependent programs can be submitted too. I've looked at the exec() and system() commands, but they either don't seem to allow return codes to be returned from a submitted program to the submitter program or they unconditionally print anything the submitted programs produce.

Sessions? External Program / External Program
I am trying ac ouple of days now to learn some things on SESSIONS,but I think I am not getting it very clearly. I have a PHP page tha contains a form. Users enter data in the form, which are then written in a file (the file is created at the time a user enters some data) The file is then given as an input to an external program The external program runs and gives some results which are then stored in another file (that is created when the external program finishes) What I want to do is to somehow create these files and, when the user exits from the browser, then both files that refer to this user, will be deleted.

C Program And PHP
I have written this function in a C program, using Visual Studio. The PHP script executes fine, but the output is not displayed. I have been racking my brains for hours trying to figure this one out. The output from the php program should print to a file called 'out.txt'. The file is successfully created, but with no content. I am pretty sure it's the way PHP returns the results. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be most appreciated. int passCode(void) { FILE *phpFile, *out; size_t len; char buffer[1000]; phpFile = popen("php -f testing1.php", "r"); if (phpFile) { out = fopen("out.txt", "w"); len = fread(buffer, 1, sizeof(buffer), phpFile); fprintf(out, buffer); fclose(out); pclose(phpFile); return 1; } else { return 0; } }

How To Program OOP
I use OOP for a PHP Application Framework I am programming. I have one base class which includes all the necessary functions and variables which all the other classes use. So what I originally did was that I made an instance of the base class and passed it to the other classes. Now someone insisted that this is not the way to do it. so I used 'extends base' to make the base class available to the other classes. Afterwards it worked fine, but it didn't make the code smaller nor did it result in faster speed. I used the benchmarking script from PEAR. So I wonder whats the difference between those two solutions, both work fine. Are there some tools to analyse how much memory a script uses?

Run Program Automatically
I want to create the option for my clients to create their own e-mail address. When I do this in Telnet, I have to run the command 'vadduser' It then asks me for a username, I want to assign this automatically. (1,2,3,4 etc etc) It then asks me for a password, I want this to be something the user has already given in a form (before the script was run). It then has to be retyped. Those two things can be done automatically. It then asks if I want to assign a disk quota (YES) and then asks for the number of megabytes (1) That's it. Are there any examples available of how to do this?

Should I Use A One Php Program Or Multiple
I have taken over a php web site. Once you login you are given six menu choices. Each option is or can be independant of the others. They each modify the same database but in different ways. On clicking the menu buttons the program calls php functions to do the action. Thus the user stays inside a large program. I was expecting the menu to provide links rather than function calls. 1) Is there a reason to stay inside a large program through function calls rather than linking to separate pages? 2) Am I correct that providing a <a href=... link would isolate the functionality and call a new program? The current program is spagettii code and somewhat buggy. There are side effects that depend on what function was called before. I am hoping that passing the hidden input parameters is all the connectivity I need.

Survey Program -
I want to migrate a survey program to web application and have selected PHP to use a on the server end along with apache and firebird rdms. As developing a web application is much different than a standard app I have some questions: 1) The survey has 50 questions with answers being 1-10. Is it best to store all 50 questions and corresponding answers in a javascript array and then up all in a batch update? The downside to this approach is the user could lose all responses to survey questions if the client computer web browser crashed. 2) After authenticating the user, how do I keep track of the rating session to guard it from hacking? Do I just store the username in a javascript variable since there is really no constant connection to the server?

Program Flow
I had some bad experience with code organization and script functionality in writing my php based applications. And as the applications get bigger in scale it gets even worse. Therefore, I am trying to build a general schema for data flow in a php/mysql application. What I has in mind is to design a three major units. To handle the input, processing and data access. Plus another unit to generate the output. What I have now is one script that resolves the operation to be done according to the parameters send to it and the call the processing unit to do the rest of the job. However, as I add more functionality to the system this dispatcher script gets bigger and bigger... 1. How can I arrange my program/data flow in an efficient and easily maintainable way? 2. And how should I implement the output generation unit to be completely seperate from the others (I have lots of forms and outputs I have to show the user when necessary)?
