The reason why the Python Webserver sends your PHP files to the brower is likely because it is not configured or able to handle PHP files. See https://serverfault.com/questions/338394/how-to-run-php-with-simplehttpserver

PHP 5.4 has a [built-in webserver][1]. You can call it from the command line like this:

    php [options] -S &lt;addr&gt;:&lt;port&gt; [-t docroot]

**Example**

    C:\Users\Gordon&gt;php -S 127.0.0.1:80 -t .
    PHP 5.4.0 Development Server started at Sun Sep 02 14:20:28 2012
    Listening on 127.0.0.1:80
    Document root is C:\Users\Gordon
    Press Ctrl-C to quit.

Note that if you omit `-t` PHP will use the current working directory.

I used **python -m SimpleHTTPServer**, but the PHP files don&#39;t execute instead they just been downloaded.

I heard about [WPHP][1] in an old [post][2]. But I don&#39;t know how to use it.
How I can work with it ?

I need to round down a decimal in PHP to two decimal places so that:

    49.955

becomes...

    49.95

I have tried **number_format**, but this just rounds the value to **49.96**. I cannot use **substr** because the number may be smaller (such as 7.950). I&#39;ve been unable to find an answer to this so far.

Any help much appreciated.

I&#39;ve created a taxonomy.php page in my WordPress theme folder. I would like to get the current term id for a function.

Yesterday I stumbled over this when I modified PHP code written by someone else. I was baffled that a simple comparison (`if ($var ==! &quot; &quot;)`) didn&#39;t work as expected. After some testing I realized that whoever wrote that code used `==!` instead of `!==` as comparison operator. I&#39;ve never seen `==!` in any language so I wondered how the hell this code could even work and did some testing:

    &lt;?php
    echo &quot;int\n&quot;;
    echo &quot;1 !== 0: &quot;; var_dump(1 !== 0);
    echo &quot;1 !== 1: &quot;; var_dump(1 !== 1);
    echo &quot;1 ==! 0: &quot;; var_dump(1 ==! 0);
    echo &quot;1 ==! 1: &quot;; var_dump(1 ==! 1);
    echo &quot;bool\n&quot;;
    echo &quot;true !== false: &quot;; var_dump(true !== false);
    echo &quot;true !== true: &quot;; var_dump(true !== true);
    echo &quot;true ==! false: &quot;; var_dump(true ==! false);
    echo &quot;true ==! true: &quot;; var_dump(true ==! true);
    echo &quot;string\n&quot;;
    echo &#39;&quot;a&quot; !== &quot; &quot;: &#39;; var_dump(&quot;a&quot; !== &quot; &quot;);
    echo &#39;&quot;a&quot; !== &quot;a&quot;: &#39;; var_dump(&quot;a&quot; !== &quot;a&quot;);
    echo &#39;&quot;a&quot; ==! &quot; &quot;: &#39;; var_dump(&quot;a&quot; ==! &quot; &quot;);
    echo &#39;&quot;a&quot; ==! &quot;a&quot;: &#39;; var_dump(&quot;a&quot; ==! &quot;a&quot;);
    ?&gt;

This produces this output:

&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;

    int
    1 !== 0: bool(true)
    1 !== 1: bool(false)
    1 ==! 0: bool(true)
    1 ==! 1: bool(false)
    bool
    true !== false: bool(true)
    true !== true: bool(false)
    true ==! false: bool(true)
    true ==! true: bool(false)
    string
    &quot;a&quot; !== &quot; &quot;: bool(true)
    &quot;a&quot; !== &quot;a&quot;: bool(false)
    &quot;a&quot; ==! &quot; &quot;: bool(false)
    &quot;a&quot; ==! &quot;a&quot;: bool(false)

The operator seems to work for boolean and integer variables, but not for strings. I can&#39;t find `==!` in the PHP documentation or anything about it on any search engine (tried Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, but I suspect they try to interpret it instead of searching for the literal string). Has anybody seen this before and can shed any light on this behavior?

Difference between &quot;!==&quot; and &quot;==!&quot;

Zend Framework 2 was just released and Zend offers support for ZF1 for only 18 months from now. I know they were working for new features in ZF2 and then they were going to do some major speed improvements to it since it was 5 times slower than ZF1.

I would like to know how slower is ZF2 than ZF1 from benchmarks or tests you did and not pure speculation.

The latest benchmark I found is from February 22, 2012 and it concludes that ZF2 is 4 times slower than ZF1.

Suppose I have three data sets:

    X = [1,2,3,4]
    Y1 = [4,8,12,16]
    Y2 = [1,4,9,16]

I can scatter plot this:


    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
    plt.scatter(X,Y1,color=&#39;red&#39;)
    plt.scatter(X,Y2,color=&#39;blue&#39;)
    plt.show()

How can I do this with 10 sets? 

I searched for this and could find any reference to what I&#39;m asking.

**Edit: clarifying (hopefully) my question**  

If I call scatter multiple times, I can only set the same color on each scatter. Also, I know I can set a color array manually but I&#39;m sure there is a better way to do this. 
My question is then, &quot;How can I automatically scatter-plot my several data sets, each with a different color. 

If that helps, I can easily assign a unique number to each data set.

I&#39;m currently using pandas to read an Excel file and present its sheet names to the user, so he can select which sheet he would like to use. The problem is that the files are really big (70 columns x 65k rows), taking up to 14s to load on a notebook (the same data in a CSV file is taking 3s).

My code in panda goes like this:

    xls = pandas.ExcelFile(path)
    sheets = xls.sheet_names

I tried xlrd before, but obtained similar results. This was my code with xlrd:

    xls = xlrd.open_workbook(path)
    sheets = xls.sheet_names

So, can anybody suggest a faster way to retrieve the sheet names from an Excel file than reading the whole file?

I&#39;ve encounter a following [statement by Richard Stallman][1]:

&gt; &#39;When you start a Lisp system, it enters a read-eval-print loop. Most other languages have nothing comparable to read, nothing comparable to eval, and nothing comparable to print. What gaping deficiencies! &#39;

Now, I did very little programming in Lisp, but I&#39;ve wrote considerable amount of code in Python and recently a little in Erlang. My impression was that these languages also offer read-eval-print loop, but Stallman disagrees (at least about Python):

&gt; &#39;I skimmed documentation of Python after people told me it was fundamentally similar to Lisp. My conclusion is that that is not so. When you start Lisp, it does &#39;read&#39;, &#39;eval&#39;, and &#39;print&#39;, all of which are missing in Python.&#39;

Is there really a fundamental technical difference between Lisp&#39;s and Python&#39;s read-eval-print loops? Can you give examples of things that Lisp REPL makes easy and that are difficult to do in Python?

I had a file called `example_file.py`, which I wanted to use from various other files, so I decided to add `example_file.py` to `sys.path` and import this file in another file to use the file. To do so, I ran the following in IPython.

    import sys
    sys.path
    sys.path.append(&#39;/path/to/the/example_file.py&#39;)
    print(sys.path)

I could see the path I had just added, and when I tried to import this file from another directory path like this:

    import example_file

it worked just fine, but once I came out of IPython, entered it again, and checked the `sys.path`, I saw that the path which I had added was not present, so how do I add a path to sys.path permanently in Python?

Our python project has a requirements.txt file which lists some dependent module. We used to use 

    pip install -r requirements.txt
to install these dependencies. We are now using tox to build up the test environment. My question is that how can we install the modules via requirements.txt directly.

Followings are our tox.ini and requirements.txt:

tox.ini:

    [tox]
    envlist=py27
    [testenv]
    deps=pytest
         boto
    commands=py.test

rquirements.txt:

    boto

Is any way to remove the &quot;boto&quot; from tox.ini and add something like
    
    deps_files=requirements.txt
