[Neil R. <Nei...@rc...>]

The last time I looked, there didn't seem to be a good database for web bookmarks.  Considering how much weird stuff has a dozen different projects going on out there, it seemed an odd gap, so I decided I wanted to do one.  (I now have almost enough time, energy, and stability to start serious work.  We'll see.)

The biggest, broadest question is the various lookup approaches to implement.  The more the better, broadly -- you ought to be in charge of your collection, not vice versa -- but I'm no library scientist, or even retrieval expert.

So the question I'm broadcasting is:  How would you like to be able to search your own collection of bookmarks?  Secondarily, what good (i.e., "user friendly" for some value of user) ways of doing searches do you know of, or think ought to go into an ideal bookmarker?

I'm deliberately broadcasting this widely, to get the best response I can.  I apologize if I've wasted your time, and hope you understand.

I like the way Magnolia lets you add bookmarks from a simple bookmarklet:

http://ma.gnolia.com/

Delicious is of course the leader in this area, but its interface
leaves a bit to be desired: http://del.icio.us

http://reddit.com/ and http://digg.com focus on the social bookmarking aspect.

I guess your first design decision is how are you going to
differentiate your site from the throngs of competitors?  What itch
are you scratching, or how are you scratching a current itch better
than what's already out there?

All the best,

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Bookmark database

[Neil R. <Nei...@rc...>]

I don't want my data residing on an alien server.  They can and do 
vanish; get bought/sold; and unilaterally change their privacy and 
access policies.
This isn't about "my site".  I expect code to be open; data is 
proprietary.  (Hey, this list gets a "sourceforge" link appended to 
each email!)

(Data interchange facilities are certainly on the list; we can 
exchange all or part of our respective lists, even retaining origin 
stamps for individual entries.)

I know what you mean about wanting your links on your site.  You
mentioned SQLite in FF3, which may be an option for offline caching,
but you may also want to consider Google Gears, which works in more
browsers and may or may not be more robust (if slightly less "open"
than SQLite).

Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation.

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Bookmark database

[Jason R. <ja...@ho...>]

I'm not clear on what you are really getting at but I do know that there 
are a lot of annoyances with bookmarks.  Netscape had started down a 
great path and Mozilla has not even gotten back to that point.

There are a couple firefox extensions that synch bookmarks to server.

Are you looking at implementing search on a website as well as in the 
fat client (browser) or just one or the other?

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Bookmark database

[Neil R. <Nei...@rc...>]

"Bookmarklets" might be useful as interface components or extenders, 
but I want a database with multiple query modes, not just a 
collection of good little tricks.
I want the nodes in the inverted tree organizational view to be 
entries in the keyword list, to where sub-branches can be grafted 
whole to different places in the tree ("origami" comes under "paper" 
and under "Japan - culture" . . . )

I figure to be using SQLite for the engine, since it's built into 
Firefox and is supposed to be accessible with 3.0.

Firefox 3 includes some upgrades to bookmarking. The one-click bookmark
button in the location bar is the most visible, but it also includes
tagging and search folders.

This is most of what I want out of a bookmarking system. The rest is
that I want a copy of every bookmarked page saved to my hard drive for
searching and later retrieval if the site ceases to exist.

Hey Guys/Gals,

I have some software that I am working with that is running on GoDaddy.
I am attempting to have PHP call another script to run in the
background. However I am running into so troubles and I was wondering if
anyone else has had any success with this. Here is what I am doing:

shell_exec("nohup /home/content/t/e/x/textconn/html/sms/sendmessages.pl
2> /dev/null &");

The php scipt seems to hang at this point and the browser then times
out. 

Any advice?

I'm 99% sure shell_exec() is disabled on GoDaddy because ... well,
it's a cheap webhost, and rather than secure their servers, they
eliminate problems by not offering features.

You can check your php.ini file and if it's running safe mode no dice.
echo phpinfo();
ini_set("safe_mode",0) works for some php installs (see manual).

Or- ditch GoDaddy and get a real hosting solution that has root. It costs the same.

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] GoDaddy hosting - (no subject)

[Steve E. <set...@at...>]

Good day -

Newbie here - I currently use GoDaddy for a small database-driven site
without significant trouble (hate their help system, though). I am
interested in Matt D.'s comment about getting a host that has "root". Can
someone explain what this means and any obvious (or hidden) benefits that a
change of hosts might provide? Many thanks.

You can check your php.ini file and if it's running safe mode no dice. echo
phpinfo();
ini_set("safe_mode",0) works for some php installs (see manual).

Or- ditch GoDaddy and get a real hosting solution that has root. It costs
the same.

I'm 99% sure shell_exec() is disabled on GoDaddy because ... well, it's a
cheap webhost, and rather than secure their servers, they eliminate problems

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] GoDaddy hosting - (no subject)

[junkmail <jun...@2z...>]

Simply put, you have more control over your hosting environment. I 
assume this means you can modify various configurations much more than 
you can with a non-root host.

I'm not sure on the specifics, but I would love to hear about situations 
where this is required.

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] GoDaddy hosting - (no subject)

[matt d. <mm_...@ya...>]

The main difference is a root account allows you install/configure any software you want.
You set the all that up. So- the downside is you are expected to manage your own server.
GoDaddy is a managed server and a root account (or 'shared' server) is not. That may seem like the wrong option for a newbie but
I've never had an issue that support wouldn't answer or help with. The support in one of these accounts is usually much better than
a so called 'managed' account probably because the techs have more time.
The set-ups will be remarkably similar with the same basic install you see at every ISP. PHP, APACHE and MySQL already installed.
These are both vitual machines with many hosts on the same box- the only difference is the un-managed root account allows you to log into your VM as root with full privileges to change that environment.
Both will have the same plesk management options so- if you are used to that with GoDaddy it's the same.
Lastly- any mail systems on GoDaddy will suck (to configure and manage)- so, if you have email apps that would be my reason to bail.

I'm not sure what your long term plans are but I haven't seen many PHP jobs that did not require you to know how to manage a server on your own so you might as well jump in at some point.

Matt

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] GoDaddy hosting - (no subject)

[Steve E. <set...@at...>]

Hi, Matt -

Thank you for your post. I am really just learning this stuff - the small
site I referred to is "really" small so the differences between the account
I have and an account with root access would not help or hurt me at this
point. The original post caught my eye because I am annoyed with GoDaddy
about something else, though, so I took the opportunity to try to learn
something. My gripes with GoDaddy are more about getting information out of
the hell-p system. You are surely correct about getting an answer, though -
the e-mail support is pretty good.

Long term - just keep learning and doing.

Thank you again.


Steve E.

Hi,

I didn't choose the server/account I am just trying to support the code 
that is running there. I would much rather run this on my own hosted 
server. 

I just thought I would ask the question to see if anyone had any 
suggestions.

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] GoDaddy hosting - (no subject)

[Richard L. <ce...@l-...>]

Use exec.

The big reason is that exec() lets you pass in two more parameters,
and it fills them up with a) the output from the shell and b) the
error code returned from the shell.

Said error code can be researched to guess what went wrong.

$command = "nohup
/home/content/t/e/x/textconn/html/sms/sendmessages.pl &";
exec($command, $output, $error);
if ($error){
  echo "<pre>"; var_dump($output); echo "</pre>";
  echo "OS Error: $error";
}

If you have an SSH shell, you can do "perror ####" where the #### is
the $error code.

Or, if you're really bored, I wrote a PHP extension that lets you
lookup the error message from PHP itself:
http://l-i-e.com/perror/

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies.  Looks like safe mode is turned off:
http://textconn.com/sms/info.php


My guess is that Sara is correct in that they disabled the shell_exec
call. 

I suppose I could try just the basic exec() command and see if that
works, however I bet they have the same limitations.


Thanks for the tips I will keep working on this.

-Tom

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] (no subject)

[Andy C. <bng...@gm...>]

I realize that this is late in your messages, but I have bypassed some
restrictions with GoDaddy.  I have a Linux server that I use for various
things.  I have PHP on my Linux box configured with safe mode off.  I was
told by a tech at GoDaddy that if I place my php.ini file in my GoDaddy
server root that it will use that file my default.

Might not fix anything, but it might be worth a try.  PEACE!!!!!!,

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] (no subject)

[Barry V. A. <ba...@vo...>]

I am able to system() on a client's godaddy account, I'm not sure what 
they're hosting type is, but I have ssh access (but it's not virtual 
dedicated).

I'd go through each of system/exec/passthru et al and see if one of them 
works

GoDaddy also prevents you from ssh-ing into your account.
I switched to dreamhost recently and am much happier with them.

Yes.  No charge.
If you have a job, bring a few bucks for food.
If you don't have a job, just eat the food :-)

Speaking of which...

Do we have a topic?
Should we just do another coding session?

Anybody got a particular food ethnicity request?
