16:38.42LonginiusHowdy.
16:40.05LonginiusDoes anyone actually chat here?
16:40.22burninno
16:40.27burnin:)
16:40.52LonginiusI should ask my questions some other place then, huh?
16:41.01LonginiusOops...that was a question.
16:41.24burninno harm in asking
16:42.04LonginiusI'm working with a WAMP setup and get errors trying to use the chdir() function.  
16:42.58burninwhat is the error?
16:43.34burninare you trying to go outside the permissable branch?
16:43.41LonginiusWell, looking at it, I'm not even sure it *is* an error...  
16:44.04Longinius<-------ID 10 T  question time.  What is a permissable branch?
16:44.58LonginiusI am trying to chdir to a folder off C:\ that has a boatload of jpg files I want to index.
16:45.26burnindepending on the configuration and version of PHP your running there are restrictions on which folders a PHP script can access.
16:45.43burninis the folder outside of your public_html folder?
16:45.58LonginiusWhere to I find those to see where I can put these?
16:48.01burninwell, I'm not familiar with windows, but there should be some settings in the Apache conf file for the DocumentRoot
16:48.54burninor perhaps in the UserDir if you are using home directories for a user.
16:49.03burninnot sure how that works in windows
16:49.22burninwhere are you placing your .html and .php files now?
16:50.04LonginiusUnder Apache\htdpcs  in subdirectories off that.
16:50.38burninare the jpg files in the same subdirectories?
16:51.18LonginiusI moved them there, in their own subdirectory.
16:51.26LonginiusDidn't help though.
16:51.52burninwhat is the error?
16:55.53LonginiusNothing at all happens in Explorer.  In Firefox, I get the message, "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because (c) protocol isn't associated with any programs.
16:56.33burninhow about in the Apache log files, any clues there?
16:57.51LonginiusNuthin' that I can make heads or tails from....  I do notice that I am trying to point to the directory with backslashes....
16:58.40Longiniusreaddir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource
16:58.57LonginiusThat's the line I get following my chdir() call.
16:58.59burninok, how about permissions and user ownership on the directory and files that you moved?
16:59.20burninah, what is it exactly that you are passing to chdir()?
16:59.29burninsounds like its not finding the path
17:00.45LonginiusI've tried a bunch of combo's.....  right now it's set to the folder under htdocs....but I had it as 'c:\pictures\germany..
17:01.04LonginiusThat didn't work either.
17:01.55burninout of curiosity, what do you get with echo getcwd(); ?
17:02.03burninbefore the chdir()
17:03.01LonginiusC:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\myapps
17:04.03LonginiusAnd when I put the echo after the chdir...it doesn't change.
17:04.29burnink, and what does the chdir() line look like?
17:06.15Longiniusexactly the same.
17:06.44burninchdir("C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\myapps"); ?
17:07.20burnintry moving or copying the pictures directory into your myapps directory
17:07.50burninthen refer to is something like chdir("C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\myapps\pictures\germany...
17:08.11LonginiusC:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\myapps
17:08.11LonginiusC:\Pictures\Germany_2006-Flo
17:08.19LonginiusThese are what they look like now.
17:08.38Longinius$dirName = '\Pictures\Germany_2006-Flo';
17:08.38Longiniusecho "<br>";
17:08.38Longiniusecho getcwd();
17:08.38Longiniuschdir($dirName);
17:08.38Longiniusecho "<br>";
17:08.40Longiniusecho getcwd() ;
17:08.42Longinius$dp = opendir('\Pictures\Germany_2006-Flo'); //$dirName);
17:08.51LonginiusThat's the code that should be working.
17:11.34burninok, I suggest you move the Pictures folder into the myapps folder, then remove the leading \ in $dirName = '\Pictures\Germany_2006-Flo';
17:12.19LonginiusThe requested URL /myapps/\Pictures\Germany_2006-Flo/imageIndex.html was not found on this server.
17:12.41LonginiusThe direction of the slashes there concerns me....
17:12.58Longiniusdo I have a linux/windohs issue here?
17:13.01burninremove the leading \ in the opendir('\Pictures\Germany_2006-Flo'); //$dirName); as well
17:13.26burninthe leading \ may be causing a problem.
17:13.58burnincould be wrong but I think you will be okay with the direction of the slashes.
17:14.21LonginiusIt now points to the right folder....
17:14.25LonginiusThanks!
17:14.29burninnp
17:14.45burnin:)
17:15.03LonginiusI'll be back....guaranteed...  Thanks again!

22:08.41PoeticIntensitydangit...
22:08.51mindjujusorry, haven't even installed it before
22:08.53PoeticIntensityI'm using some simple insert syntax that is driving me nuts.
22:09.22PoeticIntensityinsert into table VALUES (blah) , ("blah")
22:09.36PoeticIntensityand it's saying that the comma between the parenthesis is invalid.
22:09.53PoeticIntensitywoah...
22:09.54PoeticIntensityhold on
22:09.56mindjujuhmmm...
22:10.00mindjujuyeah, i never use paren
22:10.14PoeticIntensityinsert into table (blah) VALUES ("blah"),("blah")
22:10.16mindjujujust 'something',
22:10.35mindjujuwhoops, 'something', 'something2'
22:10.46PoeticIntensityno parenthesis, eh'?
22:10.54mindjujuis the paren the way you do it in ANSI SQL ?
22:10.57PoeticIntensityyes.
22:11.01PoeticIntensitymysql does it perfectly.
22:11.02mindjujuah
22:11.16PoeticIntensityI'm gonna have to drop it for a bit... I'm getting *way* too frustrated.
22:11.25mindjujubefore you do
22:11.26PoeticIntensitywhen learning something new - and something supposedly simple doesn't work.... holy cow.
22:11.28mindjujutry #sql
22:11.33PoeticIntensityah.... good idear.
22:17.23PoeticIntensitybah.... it's nothin' but crickets in that room.
22:17.35mindjujubummer
22:17.37PoeticIntensityI did pose the question...
22:17.43PoeticIntensitywe'll see if it takes days for someone to respond. :
