I don't suppose there's any way to just rename the file...

You may be able to do the urlencode() and then un-do the %3E back to, err
whatever it was.

You are confused. You only need to buy a commercial license if you want 
to distribute MySQL server itself with closed source applications. If 
you develop closed source applications but you do not distribute MySQL 
with them, you do not need to buy any licenses.

How do you know if one gaim log matches another one is pretty much your
only question, right?

I mean, http://php.net/exit will take care of the quit part, and if/else
takes care of the PHP part of it.

So, tell us, what do the filenames look like on a gaim log (whatever that
is) and what's inside them, and how do you currently think you know which
one is which?

You may want to try this HTTP client class treats with the HTTP POST

Do you really expect the user wants to sit there for all the time waiting
for the process to finish?

Is there ANY way to factor out that code and do it before they get there? 
Obviously not for a search where the user types in what they want, but is
that what you are doing?  You don't say; I can't guess.

Basically, if I have to sit there waiting, then I'm not really all that
impressed with an animated gif or whatever...

Perhaps you have them logged in already, and you could record their search
parameters and assign it an ID, and perform the search in the background,
and then have a page to deliver the results to later.

In other words, let me start up a couple searches, go do something else,
and come back later for my answers if I can't have them RIGHT NOW.

The web is all about RIGHT NOW :-)

Inline Frame and php

My client insists on using inline Frames that uses my php pages.  As an 
example, this is on one page:

<IFRAME target="_top" frameborder="0" 
SRC="search.php?search_text=<?echo($search_text);?>" WIDTH=592 HEIGHT=282>
</IFRAME>

This works well with the "control" being given to search.php.  What I do 
not understand is that within search.php, I have a statement that is 
suppose to pass "control" to anther page.  The line is

header("location: http://192.168.0.23/mypath/mypage.php");

Rather than going to the page, it opens mypage.php in the inline frame.

Is there a way to "leave" the inline frame?

[Excuse my nomenclature e.g. "control", "leave"]

Todd

Use MS Word "templates" or form letters or whatever they are called, and
you can provide the CSV file to feed it?

Then you just have to convert the Word doc to PDF, which is sort of
straight-forward.

What exactly are you using in httpd.conf to make PHP "work"?

Do you have any mod_rewrite rules going on in httpd.conf?

Do you perhaps have mod_rewrite's engine LOGGING turned on, and cranked up
really high, when rules that involve PHP kick in?

Just a Wild Guess, but perhaps you have some real funkiness going on
before PHP ever gets involved, it just LOOKS like a PHP problem.

Another test:
Did you happen to compile a PHP CGI/CLI at the same time as the PHP Module
you are using?

If so, how long does it take to run "php -f /path/to/your/test/file.php"
from the command line?

Granted, it's not EXACTLY the same code base as the PHP Module, but if
that's "fast" and the Module is "slow" you have more indication that the
problem is really *before* PHP kicks in.

There's no way you can stop them from changing their IP -- Hell, for most
of them, there's no way *THEY* can stop their IP from changing if their
ISP wants to change it out from under them.

So using their IP is a Bad Idea.

Get rid of that part of the code now, before you piss of a real user whose
ISP change their IP out from under them.

There is NO WAY to identify a user unless *YOU* id them on *YOUR* server.

So the only part of this process you control is "make a new user"

Now, you probably don't want to out and out CHARGE money for people to
play MMORPG, do you?

Thought not.

But, in order to remove the problem people, what would your userbase say
to this:

"New Members, who are not already 'proven' to be not trouble-makers, will
pay a DEPOSIT of $25.00 via PayPal."
