PHP - Transmit Xml Or Json From One Site To Another With Php4

I have 2 servers I use for hosting, both Linux and Apache.

I am executing the same php script on both, the one server the information is sent to me as it is processed, the other it only sends when it is finished processing the script. How can I change it so that it sends me the stuff as it processes it, and not right at the end?

Thanks

Hello guys,

I am new to PHP programming. I am trying to figure out how to use PHP language to transmit/write characters to a USB port device at 9600 baud rate 8-N-1. Basically I just need the PHP coding to allow me to send stuff to the USB device but I have no idea how I can interface this. I did some researching but most were for RS-232 COM Port. I can't find the proper one for USB.

If someone can help me out, that would be awesome. Thank you!

A while back my webhost upgraded to PHP5 and broke a few of my simple scripts - primarily forms using a text box for entry. I renamed and relinked the forms to .php4 and it "solved" the problem.

I've decided to fix them correctly and use proper PHP 5 code. What's the easiest way to actually retrieve the value of a text input in PHP5? My old reference tricks return null. When I started reading up I saw only PHP4 examples and then in over my head with global variables, httaccess and php.ini. I don't want to mess about with the default settings.  I'm sure I zoomed right past a simple answer on my way to that mess. A simple example script:
Code: [Select]
<FORM NAME="form1" ID="form1" METHOD="POST" ACTION="simple.php">
<INPUT Type='Text' Name="i1Text" ID="i1Text" Value="Default">
<INPUT Type="Submit" Name="Submit1" Value="Read the Text">
</FORM>
<?PHP
if (isset($_POST['Submit1'])) {
$RefText=$i1Text;
print "Text: $RefText";
<!-- Returns blanks unless .php4 -->
}
?>So, how do I actually get to that text value? Thanks in advance!

I just finished (or so I thought) a project. But my client's server runs PHP4, so I need to adapt my code. Here's what stopped working:

Code: [Select]
$localClasses = new DOMDocument;
$localClasses -> load("file.xml");
$localClasses -> get_elements_by_tagname('Title') -> item(0) -> firstChild -> nodeValue

Here's my petty attempt at trying to adapt this code to run in PHP4:

Code: [Select]

$file = file_get_contents("localClasses.xml");
$localClasses = new DOMDocument($file);

$test = $localClasses -> get_elements_by_tagname('Title');
$testText = $test -> item[0] -> firstChild -> nodeValue;
print $testText;


This doesn't give me any errors, but nothing shows up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for reading!
