Re: play a sound

2009-12-09T09:08:13Z

I'm trying to play a sound on the browser using javascript play() method. This worked fine on my Firefox browser but I keep getting errors on other Firefox browsers in the office. Anyone know what add-on or version of FF I need to make this work all the time?
Thanks.

Nick

UCS2/HexEncoded chracters

2009-12-09T00:49:23Z

Hi nyphp members,

I am new member in this mailing list, and I am happy to join it.

Any one can help me ? how could I get UCS2/HexEncoded chracters

like 'Hello' will return "00480065006C006C006F"

This are the HexEncoded values:

0048 = H
0065 = e
006C = l
006C = l
006F = o

Also in arabic (!مرحبا عالم) will return 06450631062d0628064b06270020063906270644064500200021

How I can get the encoded UCS2 in php?

Regards

Re: Firefox 3.5.5 not rendering PHP

OK Guys,

I found how to fix the problem.

There was actually nothing wrong.
The solution was just to reboot the windows machine.

I was reading some message in the internet and they said that they reboot their machine and
thinks started to work. I did the same and that did it. that I hate about MS machines..grrr...

I am mad also because I forgot that with MS you need to reboot.

Thanks for all your help!!!

Re: Firefox 3.5.5 not rendering PHP

I guess my mysql.dll extension i snot working properly because PHP is not talking to mysql at this time.
I taking the latest PHP5.2 and the latest apache2.2 . They should work together.

Thanks,

Do you start your php code with <?php or just <?
If the latter is not rendering, update your php.ini to include

I just installed xampp onto a usb thumbdrive the other day and found some of my lazy-programmed scripts were not running and that was the reason.

Why the mootools love?

2009-12-05T11:35:17Z

I've always wondered about this one. I'm not a big framework person, but I have worked in both Mootools and JQuery a bit, and I've always wondered why the continued love of Mootools?

For a CMS encouraging third party devs, Mootools seems like the WORST possible choice. For lazy programmers, Mootools seems like a great choice.

I admit, Mootools is easier to grasp quickly, to code for, etc. It is more "fun". But that fun comes at a cost[and maybe this has changed since I last looked deeply].

Mootools doesn't use a namespace. Over half the troubleshooting I've done on sites setup by others, when it involves weird front end stuff, is because of mootools. Specifically, it's because some of the other components installed are not using mootools and there is a function name conflict between the libraries mootools loads, and the libraries in the other code.

JQuery, by contrast, HAS a namespace. It is much harder to cause a function name conflict that blows the javascript on a page out of the water. It's less "fun" to program in, but you don't run into stupid problems.

And when you want to encourage people to download and install third party apps, it seems to me that your base supported javascript library should encourage that by not causing conflicts!

Anyone know why mootools is getting so strongly embedded in Joomla[I see they had some sessions at the Dev Conference] instead of going to a sane platform? Is mootools finally gonna adopt namespaces? Or is this just the result of joomla front end devs not wanting to recode all the javascript into something less programmer friendly?

Message-ID: <1259950456.23597.97.camel@jersey>
Content-Type: text/plain

I've been looking for hours. Hopefully someone on this list knows how to
fix this:

On checkout in a virtuemart store, there is a login page that has an
accordion / stretcher that doesn't have enough vertical space. The
stretcher div is 135 pixels high, and it cuts off the 'remember me'
checkbox and label.

Does anyone know where to change the height assigned to this? It's using
mootools to open up a form.

The good news is that I'm much more acquainted with virtuemart. The bad
news is that I know it much more intimately than I really care to. Also,
this problem is keeping me from getting to fixing the other annoying
crap that's wrong with it.

Any guidance, no matter how brief, is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Yeah, I had a client with that exact same issue when using a RocketTheme template.

I had to do some fiddling with the html/css. What a pain!

which template are you using on the site?

In answer to my own question:

I'm putting this up so that others may not have to waste a few hours of
their life chasing this down.

Issue: virtuemart checkout cutting off half of 'remember me' checkbox in
the login form

Fix: edit the file:
components/com_virtuemart/themes/YOUR
THEME/templates/checkout/login_registration.tpl.php

line 54 is:
/*fixedHeight:125,*/

change to:
fixedHeight:145,

When you change the line, you also remove the comment syntax so that the
line is not ignored.

If anyone knows of a better fix, I'm all ears!

cheers,
Mark

I see you have already fixed it, but you may find this a little helpful.

Virtuemart has a "debug mode" - when you enable it it will place little
graphical question marks on the page for each template, and if you hover the
mouse over them it will show you which template file is being used to create
the html being displayed.

A lot quicker to find changes that way.

Scratch out that fix. It restricts the height of the register form when
you check the register radio button. Oh well, back under the hood for
me.

Re: Firefox 3.5.5 not rendering PHP

2009-12-04T15:36:21Z

OK, I did the install again using apache 2.2.14 and php5.2.11

So far I can tell you is that

1) phpinfo.php works again

2) a couple of my php scripts work.

3) I download ans install Drupal (intense PHP) and now I am getting "connection to server was reset"

The interesting thing is when I go to my drupal site I get a window to sent the error results to tell Microsoft about the pproblem.
"Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

At least I have my server working again.

Thanks,

So is it just a problem with phpinfo()? Can you get any output from a PHP script? And try throwing an error_log into that php file with the loop. We want to make sure that errors are being logged where they should be, when they should be. Check your php.ini to make sure it's enabled there.

This is very very odd.

How about a really simple script that just error logs and echos out a basic string? It's strange that your directory list will work but the phpinfo page wont.

Is there anything in your php error log at all? Try to write something to it from the script to make sure it's writing where you think it should be writing to.

This is a very strange case indeed, and if it's not too much trouble I might actually suggest just trying over. Something seems to have gone wrong somewhere along the line and it isn't obvious, so a clean install could very well fix it. Of course, then we'd never know what the problem was.

It seems a little odd that your phpinfo would be putting out a content-length of 44.. if I'm reading that right. Have you checked your php error log? Try explicitly calling error_log to write to it. Also, what do you see in the file you actually download? Is it the result of phpinfo()?

Thanks for all the well thought out replies .

My takeaway is that these databases have 2 important benefits.

1) Performance - they perform much much better than relational databases
2) Ease of programming - they make it faster and easier to code your apps

The big downside seems to be reporting, they lock you into needing a programmer for reporting. Which, if it makes it easier to program, is not so bad. And I can definitely see the attraction for internal applications for a company that has an IT staff that can include a couple of part time programmers[a couple for turnover reasons].

I'm not seeing it as a good fit for the company that wants to hire "experts" to come in and do their work. Or the small business setting up a site where they will have a consultant set it up, and they will use it. The former mainly because until it is in widespread enough use, it makes it much harder to find someone else to work on it - and being locked to a single provider is never a good thing. The latter for the same reason.

So I can see the use..... I'm just not a "cutting edge" person. I use tried and true solutions where at the end of the day Gary

First off, try testing in another browser because I doubt that this is a Firefox specific issue.

Second, try putting a static HTML page on the server and requesting that. It should show up fine.

Third, and really, this should be one of the first things you always do, check the error logs for Apache and PHP. Chances are that there is something in there that would tell you what it causing the problem. Initial guesses would be that either Apache is throwing an error while trying to load PHP or that the content type and/or handler for .php files is not being set properly.

One other thing to check on is whether the PHP code is actually executing. Try putting some error_logs or writing to a file or anything that you can verify outside of a browser. If these things happen, then it is a problem of Apache not knowing how to serve the file, not whether it should be executed or not.

Try these things first, then let us know of anything you find. I can almost guarantee that it is an Apache configuration issue.

You can see Dwight Merriman, founder of 10gen (MongoDB), and his most
recent presentation online in HD:

http://www.mefeedia.com/watch/25943056

In it he discusses the different categories of noSQL databases, as
well as the differences, strengths/weaknesses of each implementation
approach. Actually a good overview of noSQL, not just about MongoDB.

In the end you should play with one or more just to get a feel for how
they would impact your development. I think it is very understated how
going non-relational can benefit the development process.

Ajai's points on JSON is also a killer feature of sorts, as you can
really leverage rich data structures (and nested data) via Ajax and
RIA with zero transformation needed.

My previous post ended with a somewhat silly analogy of horse
carriages and jet planes. However that is why most folks are usually
unimpressed when they evaluate - as they make the mistake of forcing a
relational model on a document database.

BTW, I did try the first one and it made no difference but again that is for CGI.

Yes, the PHP script is only doing phpinfo();

I have firebug install on firefox but that does not allow me to see anything during the PHP operation because it

just aske me to save it.

What tools should I use to see the headers?

My guess is that the content-type or disposition is being set weird. The PHP script is *only* doing phpinfo() right?

Chances are that there is something in there that would tell you what it causing the problem. Initial guesses would be that either Apache is throwing an error while trying to load PHP or that the content type and/or handler for .php files is not being set properly.

One other thing to check on is whether the PHP code is actually executing. Try putting some error_logs or writing to a file or anything that you can verify outside of a browser. If these things happen, then it is a problem of Apache not knowing how to serve the file, not whether it should be executed or not.

Try these things first, then let us know of anything you find. I can almost guarantee that it is an Apache configuration issue.

Maybe http://nosql-databases.org/ :-)

You also might want to see if there's a NOSQL meeting taking place
nearby (or a talk featuring Mongo, Hadoop, Tokyo Cabinet or Couch).

What I like is that a lot of these databases use REST interfaces and some
of them use JSON (which scales really well).

Scratch out that fix. It restricts the height of the register form when
you check the register radio button. Oh well, back under the hood for
me.

I see you have already fixed it, but you may find this a little helpful.

Virtuemart has a "debug mode" - when you enable it it will place little graphical question marks on the page for each template, and if you hover the mouse over them it will show you which template file is being used to create the html being displayed.

A lot quicker to find changes that way.
