PHP 4 will not compile in PHP5 on OSX Server 10.5.5 Mac Mini

I have been using a commercial server which does not give access to php.ini but bought a Mac Mini and OSX Server 10.5.5. My old PHP 4 program will not compile in PHP5. It gives weird compilation errors to do with curly brackets but as soon as I alter one bracket it jumps to another similar error somewhere else in the program. I think it may require tweeking the php.ini or httpd.conf files which I have opened using Terminal but I don't know what might need to be changed. I expected this to be a turn-key system ready to go. I knew there would be changed required to migrate from PHP4 to PHP 5 and read the official PHP site, searched many forums, and google searches, called AppleCare but none knows what to do. I used an editor and there are 276 open brackets and 276 close brackets. If you have made the same migration without difficulty please let me know. Maybe I just need to start again!

It is. The point of this function is beyond elusive given the number of side effects it seems to induce. Everything in it could be reduced to one or two lines, but odds are good it shouldn't even exist in the first place.
I just use the same set of globals for all functions so that these variables are readily available everywhere in the program without having to think about it.
That's a very common beginner tactic which is unfortunately very prevalent in publicly distributed PHP projects due to the fact that many of them are written by beginners. I'd highly recommend you start thinking about it if you want to get anywhere.
They are all constants once they have been set initially.
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.define.php
Like $query is set only once when the program picks it up from a $GET statement.
And I'll bet you're not sanitizing that query string at all before passing it along to mySQL.
This leaves two questions. Do you think I should treat every function as a separate file and have the mainline bring them in as "included code". There are 126 functions.
Refactoring should improve the organization, performance and readability of your code according to some logical criteria. Simply putting each function in its own file accomplishes none of these things.
(I have also written a 6000 line program as a MySQL data processor to make it easier for my wife to manipulate the data in dozens of tables without having to keep track of all the unique keys. So this will be quite a big job.) If so I would appreciate a quick tip about how to do that in PHP. Other pre-processing I do with Applescript.
Why didn't you just install phpMyAdmin?
Second, goes back to my initial question. This parsing problem only appeared after switching to PHP 5.2.2 with MySQL. Could this weird behavior be caused by some setting in the PHP.ini or httpd.conf or my.conf files and if so what would I change. The fact that this has not been suggested on this forum makes me think it is not a config. problem. That in itself is useful information.
Probably not, but who knows what other nightmares might be lurking in this file. Did you use short tags like <? ?> or something?

Mac OSX 10.4 Server on a MacMini + Mac Mini Network render farm

Hi Guys,
I am working at a small vfx post house in Bangkok. We are looking to install some sort of server and network renderfarm.
There was talk of going Windoze based when I first arrived, so I am doing my best to steer them to Mac & OSX. (Most of the current workstations are MacPros)
For a budget solution I said it may be possible to run a OSX Server on a new Mac Mini, and also create a 5-10 machine Mac Mini renderfarm (for rendering 3d scenes from Maya, encoding with Compressor, and 2d scripts from Shake).
So my questions are:
1. WIll OSX Server work on a mac Mini?
2. Will the Mac Mini be able to handle it? It won't be a render box itself, more a machine to keep control of permissions on our central storage (stop people moving and deleting files and saving things in the incorrect place), and control the QMaster Adminstration.
3. Has anyone had any experience creating a renderfarm from a stack on Mac Minis?
4. If no one has any idea can they recommend a person/forum to ask?
Thankyou very much!

I got a iphone 5 but it does not work on my MacBook with Mac OSx 10.5.8 it says i need OSX 10.6.8 but it will not download because I need OSX 10.6 but it would load either. How do I get the older operating system to work with the IPhone5?

You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

Xcode will not compile

I migrated from Windows C++(Dev C++) to Mac (Xcode) and Xcode will not compile, the command for it is greyed out (not selectable). Even Hello World Wouldn't compile. What am I doing wrong here?
(this is an empty C++ file that's been opened)

What kind of application do I want to open for basic C++. I've tried numerous now and I always get at least one error of conflicting commands.

Some jsps will not compile FC5+Tomcat

Hello,
I cannot compile SOME jsp pages for some reason.
I have something like this:

http://www.mydomain.net:8080/WEB/BLAH/BLAH/index.jsp - will not compile where BLAH is a bunch of different folders.
I have it all working on Win XP. Now I am trying to make it work on FC5.
I took the page that can compile and moved it to BLAH/BLAH folder and it does not compile now!
OS: Fedora Core 5 (if it matters)
What is going on? Any ideas?
Thanks.

Pages 09 (updated) will not start up using Lion OSX

iWork Pages 09 (updated) will not start up using Lion OSX. It did work at one time but now it won't. I reinstalled iWork several times with updates but the applications say to reinstall or check the developer. I'm using an i-Mac Intel with updated downloads for all applications. Thank You in Advance for your thoughts to solving this concern.

What else have you been doing just before this problem started? Any other updates on the computer? If you need to reinstall iWork which some has when upgrading to Lion after a complete uninstall.
To uninstall correctly iWork, go to Yvans iDisk :
<http://public.me.com/koenigyvan>
Download :
For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
Expand the archive and run the script.
Now you can instal iwork again and do the updates.

After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.

After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server. I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted." I am locked out of my phone. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again. I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing. Thanks for your help in advance.

Try going to recovery mode as described here. You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.

TS4532 My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange using the web browser. The connection worked until IOS 6.1.2 was Install

My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange with the same parameters using the web browser.
I bought the phone when it came out last October. The connection did not work at first, then started without warning in December. It worked perfectly for 2 months then stopped again when IOS 6.1.2 was Installed.
Help please!

I have forwarded these questions about the version of Exchange server that is being used and whether Microsoft host the mai themselves to the IT Dept but I will not get a reply from them until tomorrow.
In the meantime I have also tried:
Deleting and re-creating the account AGAIN!
And re-setting the phone (recommended as a solution to a similar problem with an iPad in another forum.
But please remember that:
The phone would not connect for 2 months after I bought it
Then started working unexpectedly in December
Then stopped working again when IOS 6.1.2. was installed
Also why am I the only person affected by this when colleagues with iPhone 3s and 4s who use the same mail system are not (I am still trying to find one with an iPhone V to see if their's works).
Like I said I think that there must be a fault, either with my own phone or with iPhone Vs in general.

Something is wrong with your charger or cable.
If it works with another charger, then it is not the iphone

How to install OSX 10.6 client in Mac Mini Server 10.7 Lion Server

I am ordering a Mac Mini Server with Lion Server 10.7, with 256GB SSD and 750GB HD. I want to use Snow Leopard (client/workstation) instead. Previously I have already purchased retailed version of 10.5 clients and 10.6 client upgrade. Please advise the best approach from the followings (or more suggestions from you guys...).
(A) The boot disk (likely to be the SSD) will be re-formatted and re-installed by "clean" installation of 10.6 client. But I am not sure whether all hardware drivers for the new Mac Mini (2011) are available in the 10.6 client disk. Also, it seems to me that installation disk of 10.7 server will not be provided. So I shall not be able to re-install server version again if I want to change this Mac to a server sometimes afterwards. Of course I would like to keep this server software for investment protection, no matter I use it or not. If 10.6 client can be installed, I shall use bootcamp to install Windows 7 also. So there will be 2 partitions to be usable aparently.
(B) The factory-installed OSX 10.7 server is kept, and one more partition is created (with Disk Utilties). Snow Leopard workstation 10.6 will be installed at this new partition. If 10.6 client can be installed, I shall use bootcamp to install Windows 7 also. So there will be 4 partitions, including 10.7 server, 10.6 client, 10.7 recovery drive and bootcamp for Windows 7. Since I want to put all OS software at the SSD (faster boot-up and better performance), the drawback is that each partition is with less space.
Do you guys have other ideas or suggestions?
[Background]
In fact I want to make use of its strongest computing power (amongst available Mac Mini computers in store), quad-core CPU & dual disks, to run music applications (DAWs). Operating systems are put at SSD, and data is put at traditional harddisk. As some music applications (e.g. Calkwalk Dimension) only support 10.6 currently, I need to down-grade from Lion server to Snow Leopard workstation. Also I think applications can run faster in a hardware with workstation OS (rather than server version). Please correct me if this belief is wrong.
Thanks / Howard.

If you completely wipe the original Mac mini boot drive you will wipe the Server.app software an dlose it. You should make a backup first, perhaps by saving the entire boot drive as a Disk Image file on to another drive.
In terms of install 10.6, the 10.6 DVD will not boot on the new Mac mini even if you connect a DVD drive. You need to put the Mac mini in to FireWire Target Disk Mode and connect it to an older Mac that will allow booting from that DVD, then install on to the Mac mini (over FireWire), you then need to upgrade it using the 10.6.8 Combo Updater this will add the drivers needed for the new Mac mini.
