I tried that, and I only get back errors that --stdin is not valid.

I am working on some scripting stuff and I was wondering what I can do to interact with the shell in a continuous manner. For example is there a way to complete passwd?

if you can drop the eregi you can do: $answer = ($_POST['Question'] == 'bb') ? '2B' : "!2B'; echo $answer You may even be valid with: $answer = (eregi('bb',$_POST['Question'])) ? '2B' : "!2B'; echo $answer

I just did a fresh install with php... here is my config from phpinfo() './configure' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share/php' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--disable-ipv6' '--with-openssl' '--with-zlib' '--enable-bcmath' '--with-bz2' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--enable-exif' '--with-gd' '--with-gmp' '--with-imap' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-ldap' '--with-ldap-sasl' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mhash' '--with-mssql' '--with-mysqli' '--with-readline' '--enable-soap' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-zip' '--with-pear' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-pcntl' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/freetype2' '--with-png-dir=/usr/include/libpng' '--with-tidy' '--with-oci8=instantclient,/opt/oracle/instantclient/instantclient_11_1' '--with-kerberos' Somehow I am not sure how, I got PHP to not read my php.ini file. I have checked and double checked for a php.ini in a rouge place, but I don't see any. Just the one in /usr/local/lib I don't know how to fix this one. Ideas?

I am pulling in a few RSS feeds into my site and I need to be able to sort the array I build by the pubdate of the feeds. The resulting array looks like this: Array ( [0] => Array ( [title] => Title of Feed [link] => link of feed [pubdate] => 2007-05-04 00:00:00 [description] => Description ) [1] => Array ( [title] => Title of Feed [link] => link of feed [pubdate] => 2007-06-04 00:00:00 [description] => Description ) I need to be able to sort by $theitems[$i]['pubdate'], how can I do that?

I have a script that I am writing and I ran into a snag with my debug, which if this is a real problem kind sucks for me... I have two classes I am working with right now, Site and Debug. In my code I call $debug = new Debug; and then later I call $site = new Site; Finally in the Site class I want to write to the debug variable debugText so I try: (this is in Site) $debug->debugText .= 'My new text'; However nothing gets written to the variable ideas? is it possible to do that?

trying to compile with GD What directive do I use to show it where my libpng.so file is? I tried --with-png-dir=/usr/lib64 yes it resides in /usr/lib64 where does it look by default, I could just copy it there.

Alis - that is a loaded ticket, you should check out some of the turtorials around here for newbies. Also you may want to look into LAMP or WAMP and get things setup properly. Then you can use the phpmyadmin that comes with them and admin your DB... also ... go pick up some books.

So I have lighttpd installed just fine. I had PHP installed just fine. They worked together. Then I installed mySQL, and it works. I am trying to configure PHP to use mySQL, with [code]./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/[/code] Which is where mySQL is installed, but I am getting this [code]checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no checking for mysql_close in -lmysqlclient... no checking for mysql_error in -lmysqlclient... no configure: error: mysql configure failed. Please check config.log for more information.[/code] I opened config.log and here is what it says [code] configure:58254: checking for mysql_error in -lmysqlclient configure:58273: gcc -o conftest -I/usr/include -g -O2  -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/mysql//lib -L/usr/local/mysql//lib -L/usr/lib $ /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.0/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/local/mysql//lib/lib$ /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.0/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure: failed program was: #line 58262 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */ /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2     builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */ char mysql_error(); int main() { mysql_error() ; return 0; } [/code] I am not sure how to fix this.

I don't see why this isnt working. When I load an image it comes up empty... here is the code [code]<body> <div> Welcome to the FBM loader, provided by Utahcon. Please upload your images only here. I will make another spot for videos and music later.<br><br> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="samepage.php" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" /> Upload this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" /> <input type="submit" value="Send File" /> </form> </div> <?php if($_FILES['userfile']['name']){ $uploaddir = '/opt/lampp/htdocs/images/users/'; $uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']); echo '<div>'; if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) { echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n"; } else { echo "Possible file upload attack!\n"; } echo 'Here is some more debugging info:'; print_r($_FILES); print "</div>"; } else { echo "<div>"; print_r($_FILES); echo "</div>"; } ?> </body> [/code] Thanks in advance!

I have seen in some code I am looking at the @ symbol before the function name. What is the purpose of this?

Is this possible with php or any other programming or is their software that needs to be bought? Thanks, David [/quote] You will need to have a list of all the "leagues" as well as the ZipCodes they are in, and a database of locations, preferrably with Longitude and Latitude coordinates. Then you will have to take the given ZipCode and gradiually add distance to the radius of the ZipCode. I think the longitude/latitude to miles conversion is something like 62:1. The hard part of all of this is the location database.

[/quote] Most hosts will provide a contained CRON or schedule task that you can hammer out. If that is 100% not an option you can create a scheduled task on your own machine to call a PHP script once a day and run your script. Other than doing one of those two there is nothing I know that will solve this problem for you. BTW - Which host is this so I can avoid them.

what does this "as" do? [code]foreach($var1 as $var2)[/code]

Ok I am looking through some code... so I need to know something. I see this in my code [code] $SESSION['variable']->user->ID [/code] Is this calling the user ID for the $SESSION['variable']? Also what does this do [code] $_SESSION['variable']->user->ID as $site_ID => $site_info [/code] Thanks!
