PHP fsockopen failed when accessing through IPV6

When i try creating xml-rpc based application using php. It show that it cannot get 200 status.

Then i try ping localhost through command prompt. It's a suprise then, the ping result is IPV6 which is ::1: for localhost.

I try to nonactivate IPV6 localhost in window/system32/drivers/etc/hosts and remark ipv6 address. Then I try to ping again, it result 127.0.0.1 then amazingly, my xml-rpc application is working.

My Computer is Vista, i think it just a matter turn off ipv6 so ping will always return ipv4 address.

i am trying xml-rpc using : codeigniter xml-rpc,incutio

Solved : message: Cannot open user default database. Using master database instead

Error message: Cannot open user default database. Using master database instead.

this mean user that used to access database don't have default database set in it's property.

Open MsSQL Server Management Studio->Security->Logins->user->properties you will get this dialog, then make sure you have default database selected fot he user.

php draft printing

• A standard receipt printer such as the Epson TM-T88III receipt printer uses the parallel port.
• To print to the parallel-port receipt printer, you print through port PRN (exactly the same as printing from DOS prompt).
• From within PHP-GTK2, you need to first establish the connection with the printer by using $handle = fopen("PRN", "w");
• Thereafter, to print anything to the printer, you just "write" to it like the file handle: fwrite($handle, 'text to printer');
• There are newer receipt printer that uses USB. I believe you should be able to print to such printers through PRN too.
