PHP5 should AFAIK always pass objects by reference.

From the code i used in my example, the code that was being discussed by MikeB and Dygear.
Actually, i see it as something completely different.

While i do agree on mixing code with presentation, i would suggest pretty much anything to avoid passing the object around as a global variable.
I guess by misuse of inheritance you're saying inheritance is in this case completely unecessary, if so i would basically agree. However, attempting to explain classes, objects and association or how to use runkit doesn't really fit in this thread. Extending the class is an easy neatness fix, and in my opinion quite a good introduction to objects and classes in PHP. If there's enough interest i'm sure the manual and google would do a better job of teaching object orientation then i could.
I would expect Scawen to say "until i fix the black screen bug, don't start LFS in fullscreen" (might've been windowed).
Well yes, there are a few versions but by 'divx/xvid encoder' i assumed you were looking for something that simply took source video and encoded it to divx or xvid, avi being the standard format.
VirtualDub does pretty much exactly that, it's not an editor, even though you can do some minor editing.
Edit: liked the magic floaty cameras, could've almost done without the few static ones.

What makes it bad design?
Multi-class racing isn't exactly a new idea.
Just to clarify as this sounds hopelessly complex for someone who's new to it.
Instead of wrapping actions into a function like MikeB did in the example a few posts above, a much cleaner and actually simpler method is extending lfsworldsdk.
include 'lfsworldsdk.php';
class MyLFSWorld extends LFSWorldSDK {
function teams_test() {
$teams = [B]$this[/B]->get_teams();
echo "<p>Starting teams list</p>\n";
foreach ($teams as $this_team) {
echo "-----------------------------------------\n";
echo "Team: {$this_team['team']} ({$this_team['tag']}) \n\n";
echo "Members: {$this_team['nr_members']} \n";
echo "Website: {$this_team['url']} \n\n";
}
echo "<p>Finished teams list</p>\n";
}
}
By doing this you are effectively copying the entire function set from lfsworldsdk and adding the teams_test function to it. The passing around of $LFSWorld is replaced with $this, $this is always a reference to the object itself when working with code inside a class.
Finally you would use your class instead of lfsworldsdk when creating the object:
<?php
//$LFSWorld = new LFSWorldSDK();
$LFSWorld = new MyLFSWorld();
$LFSWorld->teams_test();
?>

You won't notice any performance gain in LFS, except from load/reload times perhaps.
I don't think there's many extra frames to be found, but please do post if you find some.
I just upgraded from a Radeon 9550SE to a 6800GS, the rest of my (core) system consists of a Celeron D 2.4 GHz clocked at 3 GHz and 1 GB 400MHz dual channel DDR. The performance change in <insert not-LFS here> could be measured in hundreds of percent, in LFS, none. I basically have the exact same frame rates as before (~20-30 in full grid, maximum about 70 while racing), but i went from 720x576 4xAA/AF to 1600x1200 8xAA 16xAF, there's no difference in minimum FPS between 640x480 0xAA/AF to the resolution/filtering i run now, minimum FPS stays the same all the way up to 2048x15-something with all card/driver settings on max.
I guess i'm more limited by the CPU then i thought before buying the new card, my theory before upgrading was that i could perhaps bump my minimum FPS up to about the FPS i could pull in a full grid with simulation paused. It's a bit strange that lowering the various LODs make such a big difference in LFS, mirrors also steal about 10 fps, seems like the simulation cycles aren't the only ones heavy on CPU. I use about 0.4 user LOD and 0.3 dynamic LOD reduction, it's also weird how there's no difference in performance between the minimum and maximum car draw distance. This thread is also interesting.

The swedish page title reads 'LFS Manuell', which i guess is a straight translation of manual as in manual gearbox, manual as in instruction manual should stay 'manual'.
(should be LFS Manual)

Does any other USB equipment work without entering BIOS ?
There are some oddities in PHP, sometimes it doesn't work as line-by-line as you'd expect, might've found one of those.
Have you specified the /ip setting in the server setup cfg ? In 99.9% of cases this is not necessary and afaik the only way you could make the server fail to 'bind' unless you've accidentally started several instances. Leaving this setting undefined should make the server listen on all available network interfaces.
You could basically find out if the webserver or anything in that environment is causing the problem.

I run alot of pubstat stuff, everything compressed (gzcompress), everything on 5s. tarpit. Tried running the script from command line?
Make sure you're not running something else that's querying pubstats, as it's limited per IP. Can't see how it could technically be caused by Apache or PHP.
Edit: maybe it's also limited by id-key, if you're using the same key from separate locations. (?)
<?php
if ($gzstr = file_get_contents(' ... ')) {
if ($str = @gzuncompress($gzstr))
/* it's all good. */
else
/* it's most likely an error message in plain text ($gzstr). */
}
else
/* can't get output. */
?>
The id key is passed to the object at creation, it is actually required.
$object = new LFSWorldSDK('id key goes here');Arrays can be seen as collections of variable<->value pairs, to access the value of a variable, you use:
$the_array['variable_name'];A simple way to iterate thru the entire array:
$hotlaps = get_hl('filur');
foreach ($hotlaps as $lap) {
echo $lap['track'].' in '.$lap['car'].': '.$lap['time'].'<br />';

Updated CVS with Dygears code for the pubstat changes and released a new .rar, http://prdownloads.sourceforge ... -cvs20061110.rar?download
Put simply, if you've written pubstat-grabbing scripts/applications yourself, converting to meet the new id-key requirement will take you about 15 seconds.
This is so true, the only time i ever write todo's (programming related) is when i'm out of things to actually do.
From the features page it seems there's no object orientation at all, this is simply not acceptable.
