Hey Folks!
I have the following situation:
I store in a MySQL table part of the HTML code that is used to mount
dinamically the pages of a web site. The file looks something like this:
<?
...
Database stuff
...
include header.inc;
PRINT THE CONTENT OF THE QUERY IN THE DATABASE (that is essentially HTML
tags and text)
include footer.inc;
?>
Before I enter any data in the database I put HTML comments like this: <!--
TEXT --> before and after any text that appear as a result of the HTML
formatting in the browser, like this:
...
<div align=left class=bodytext><!-- TEXT -->This is a bogus text used in
this example in this boring example.<!-- TEXT --></div>
...
My idea was to create a parser later that would get this result from the
database and, in an administration module that I create, let the user modify
the text from the page without touching the HTML code. So let's say:
<!-- TEXT -->
Our companies operate under a very simple set of rules:
<!-- TEXT -->
<ul type="circle" compact>
<li class="white">
<!-- TEXT -->
We try always to offer superior products at competitive prices
<!-- TEXT -->
</li>
<li class="white">
<!-- TEXT -->
We work to develop proprietary technologies that will give us a competitive
advantage
<!-- TEXT -->
</li>
<li class="white">
<!-- TEXT -->
We engage in new enterprises in a controlled and conservative manner
<!-- TEXT -->
</li>
<li class="white">
<!-- TEXT -->
We are committed to our employee’s well being and professional
development
<!-- TEXT -->
</li>
</ul>
Would appear in the browser like this:
Our companies operate under a very simple set of rules:
o We try always to offer superior products at competitive prices
o We work to develop proprietary technologies that will give us a
competitive advantage
o We engage in new enterprises in a controlled and conservative manner
o We are committed to our employee’s well being and professional
development
But in the administration module all the text surrounded by the <!--
TEXT --> tag like this:
<!-- TEXT -->
We are committed to our employee’s well being and professional
development
<!-- TEXT -->
would become something like this:
<!-- TEXT -->
We are committed to our employee’s well being and professional
development
<a href="edittext.php?pageid=X"><img src="images/edit_buttom.gif"></a>
<!-- TEXT -->
where the edit_buttom.gif would appear beside of each text that could be
edited in that page.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Rom

My question is how I can do that after I get the data from the database? I

Wasn't directed quite at me, but I'll chime in nonetheless....
We used LocalDirector for awhile, with it's 'sticky bit' functionality,
and it basically didn't work with AOL. I just looked at the
coyote product and they claim it works with 'large ISP' proxies - maybe a veiled
reference to AOL directly (why not just say AOL?).
Do you have any more info on HOW they do this? The
only thing I can think of is that they code it recognize particular IP blocks
known to be proxies for AOL/mindspring/etc and route ALL traffic from these to a
particular box, which doesn't seem terribly balanced. OR... they drop a separate
'cookie' or similar header data piece between the server and the client and track
that.
Either way, it seems a bit expensive, although cheaper than LD, last time I
checked.
Personally, we do the 'stateless' model with session data in a database - works
fine. Your coyote solution is still stateless, but the session data is kept local
to the webserver.
Problem I see with that is that if you need to take a particular machine offline,
hundreds of people could lose their session data. Same can be said of taking the
database offline, but taking a db offline will probably affect the whole site
anyway. Part of the benefit of an intelligent load balancer is that you can
remove/take down machines for maintenance/upgrades without worrying about the
impact on the visitors.
Am I missing something?

OK, I'll bite. What is NetApp? Network Appliance?
Is this a cache technology, or will it help if I want to transfer 1GB
of data with no duplication? Once upon a time I was considering using
NFS for backing up my web servers. Then I found it would take over 150
hours per backup over my 56K Frame Relay link. I've got it down to
about 46 hours with tar.gz and ftp. It takes most of my sleep time
during the week.

A NetApp (Network Appliance) is a big RAID that uses multiple scsi drives to
create a single transparent volume which, with CIFS (transparent filesystem)
can be used by any OS. They are v fast, use NVRAM buffering and can go up to
post terabyte storage capacity without worries.
Oh and they start at 60k pounds sterling
But they are great. Network Attatched Storage at its best (gigabit fibre
too)

Use a separate DB for something like this - have a data database, and a 'logging'
database. We're setting up something similar - currently we have 2 databases for
separate things, and will probably merge the first two datasets back into the main
database, and turn the second one into a logger.

Another technique is use a quick-and dirty save of one line to a text
file, and have a cron script or somehting similar simply run every
day or every few hours that reads from your home-made log into a
db table, and then empties the file.

I am pretty sure you can just run webalizer on the logfiles from each
of your servers and obtain a combined logfile. I think it might be as
easy as not using incremental mode. I think I remember seeing
something about this being covered somewhere in the Webalizer docs. It
might also be a matter of using incremental mode. I don't remember.
You will have to take care not to feed the same file twice. It has
been a long time since I setup my Webalizer, but I have asked the autor
for clarification. I will forward the response when I get it.
Another feature I like, you can turn off hostname lookups in Apache and
have Webalizer do them when it analyzes the logs. It also caches
those DNS lookups as it runs. This dresticly reduces the number of
DNS requests, and there is no cost at all on the people hitting the
web site(s).

IMHO, the best solution will minimize the delay added to visitiors to
the site. If it takes too much processing power you can always analyze
the web files on a separate machine so visitiors never are
inconvienenced. I just run Webalizer at night when my hit counts are
low.

I take advantage of a handy feature of apache that allows log data to be
piped to another program instead of written to a file - and pipe it's log
data directly to stdin of a small C program which does a tiny bit of parsing
before putting it into mysql.
Before I did it in C, I was just using a Php script - which, incidentally,
was fine - I only redid it in C in the interests of saving a bit of cpu and
memory on the heavily worked servers it's being utilised on.
The beauty of this is that your data is always up to date, you can log any
number of servers to the one central database via tcp (or multiple databases
if you prefer) and you don't have to manage (potentially) unwieldy logfiles.
Also, if at a later date you wanted to go back to using a regular text-file
parser for your stats, there'd be nothing stopping you from dumping out the
database contents back into the Apache log format again.
So far the only negative I can see is that if mysql is down, you lose your
log data for the duration of the downtime. Not a big negative to me, since I
like to make sure mysql is running at least as often as the webserver is.

Don't mean to bring this into some kind of unending debate like so many
things seem to get, but I have to agree with Alex. There are a very large
number of applications where using <?= is completely acceptable. I think we
tend to lose sight of that when we start talking about huge web apps...
we're not all building huge web apps... and in fact, a lot of us benefit
from the quick coding time of being able to insert variables with <?=.

For a good distributed logging solution, check out mod_log_spread
(http://www.backhand.org/mod_log_spread/). It's an apache module that
handles distributed logging by writing logs to reliable multicast
groups. Additionally, because it multicasts data, additional clients
and log writers can be added on the fly without any additional overhead
or configuration. It is also provides good handling of mod_vhost_alias
logs.

Hey Folks!
I am bringing from the database HTML source like this:
<li class="white">
<!-- TEXT -->
We are committed to our employee’s well being and professional
development
<!-- TEXT -->
</li>
I would like to make this:
<li class="white">
<!-- TEXT -->
We are committed to our employee’s well being and professional
development
<a href="edittext.php?pageid=X"><img src="images/edit_buttom.gif"></a>
<!-- TEXT -->
</li>
So, before the end HTML comment I would like to add an image. How do I do that?
Thank you,
Rom
> So, before the end HTML comment I would like to add an image.
> How do I do that?
The first thing I suggest you do is use a comment for starting and a
comment for ending - this makes it all a LOT easier to parse.
Start: <!-- TEXT STARTS -->
End: <!-- TEXT ENDS -->
Then, you get your complete text into $buffer and just:
<?
$endtag = "<!-- TEXT ENDS -->";
$imgtag = " <a href='edittext.php?pageid=X'>"
."<img src='images/edit_buttom.gif'></a>";
$output = ereg_replace($endtag, $imgtag.$endtag, $buffer);
?>
... or something similar. Not sure if < or > or ! play havoc with a
regex or not...
If you can't change your start and end comments to be unique, then
you'll have to just do the ereg_replace on every second one.

I think the ! might have an effect on the regexp interpretter... it's easy
enough to escape it (\!) though.

This is a nice idea but would not be more efficient if I substitute the
entire block like this:
this is what I have in the database:
<!-- TEXT -->ANY TEXT<!-- TEXT -->
this is what I want:
<!-- TEXT -->ANY TEXT <a href="edittext.php?pageid=X"><img
src="images/edit_buttom.gif"></a><!-- TEXT -->
what youl be a REGEX to substitute that block for this one above?

I know what you mean, but I have more than 200 rows already with these <!--
TEXT --> surrounding my texts and to modify manually would take ours... I
didn't think in that before...
How would be a REGEX to recognize the <!-- TEXT --> tag and ANY TEXT below?
<!-- TEXT -->ANY TEXT<!-- TEXT -->
because if I could recognize the entire block and make it a string, it would
be possible to use $ in REGEX to exchange only the end of the string. What
do you think?
Thank you

Only 200? Why not just do a global search and replace? Or write a
script to do it for you. It'll save you a headache when you get to
2000. Or 20000.

Love to help you, but I've already stretched the limit of my regex
knowledge, sorry.

Just a couple of ideas....
1) Never set a cookie containing a password (I suppose you could MD5 encode
it and do it...)
2) Passwords aren't secure in a basic autorization environment, nor are
they secure if they're sent with an HTML form unless you're on an SSL
connection
Poor security: log in with a form or basic authentication; set cookie on
client with username/password combo (vulnerable to network sniffers,
anybody with access to browser's cookie file)
Decent security: log in with form or basic authentication; set cookie with
session id number and store user information in session database (or
session file or in session memory or however your sessions are handled...)
(vulnerable to sniffers)
Good security: perform auth over a secure connection, set cookie with
session id number and store user information (including ip address) in
session database (and check ip address for a match before allowing any
activity with the session)... (vulnerable to somebody copying a sniffed
session id and spoofing the ip address to trick the remote site)
Very good: keep the thing on a secure connection all the time, set a
session id cookie and keep all user info (possibly including remote ip) in
the server's session db... (vulnerable to nothing I can think of at the
moment...)
There are probably more things you could do I haven't thought of... but
this oughta be a decent start ;)

Suggestion, don't send session IDs as cookies, since they may be
sequential and guessable. Instead, grab an MD5 of the session ID, the
remote IP address, and the current time. Throw as much entropy in there
as you can, send the MD5 sum as the cookie value, and store it in
the session table in the database.

Actually, I understand what he's trying to say, even if I don't agree with
him. The main problem people have had with load balancing is sessions. If a
particular scripting language *cough*ASP stores session information in
memory then the load balancing system has to always send the session from a
given user to the same server. (during that session)
IMHO, the easiest way to do this (without writing your own session handling
scheme and then telling people about it but not divulging details!) ;) is
to store the session info in a database. Using a central database for all
sessions, any server can get to the session info for any user.
I've just finished leading a team on a large scale JSP application. While
it is slower to develop in (Java has a high learning curve, IMHO) The
servlet engine we are using, JRun is fairly fast. Our bottle neck right now
seems to be a poorly tuned Oracle database.

hi all,
This may sound too easy to ask but I want ot make sure if I'm correct. I
have a form with date, month and year select fields in it. When I submit, i
want to tie those three fields value together and insert into a field in
table which has date data type. Is it correct to tie those three value like
below?
$Birthdate = $year&$month&&day;
And I will insert value in $Birthdate into table.

Not quite. right idea, wrong syntax.
You're just doing a simple string concatenation, so what you actually
want is this:
$Birthdate = $year . $month . $day;

Not quite; you want the concatenation operator:
$Birthdate = $year . $month . $day; /* assuming &&day was a typo */
This will also work:
$Birthdate = "$year$month$day";
And so will this:
$Birthdate = "${year}${month}${day}";

As i know, databases use a 00/00/0000 date format, so the thing you may do
is
$birthdate = $day . "/" . $month . "/" . $year;
or
$birthdate = "$day/$month/$year";
But you should refer to your database's documentation, i'm not sure it's
always true.

That would give him the number of days into the year the last day of week
26 falls. To find the first day of week 26, the equation changes to:
(26*7)-6 = 176 days into the year. So that
first_day = ((week_number * 7) - 6)

In the existing code things are passed by reference where the calls are
made. The places you see these warnings. This style is going out of
style, in favor of one where you define passing by reference in the
function definition.
What to do:
Change the function calls from:
function_whatever( &$var1, &$var2 );
to
function_whatever( $var1, $var2 );
and change the finction definitions from:
function function_whatever( $var1, $var2 ) {
to:
function function_whatever( &$var1, &$var2 ) {
For now, since these are just warnings you could just turn down error
reporting, or enable allow_call_time_pass_reference as shown in the
warning, but you should seriously consider fixing the problem by
changing the code. Someday soon PHP will no longer allow the old syntax
at all.

Greeting all,
Just now I asked about to tie string values together and would like to thank
Jason for that. Anyway one more thing, after I have tied string values
together and assigned that to a virables. can I used the value from that
variables to compare with another date value? Say another date value I will
use is also retrieved from a field in table which is in Date data type as
well. So it will be like
$query = "select myBirthdate from date where userId='1' ";
$dateResult =mysql_query($query);
$myBirthDate = (mysql_result($dateResult,0,"myBirthdate"));
$thisBirthdate = "$year"."$month"."$day";
if ($thisBirthdate < $myBirthdate) {
do something
} else {
do some other thing
}
Is it the correct way to do that?
cheers

When you get into this stuff, it all starts getting a lot more complicated.
If you want to compare two fields, make sure they're in the same format.
Basically, make sure you use four digit years and two digit months and
days to create your birthday fields, so they look like (for example, with
today's date, 20010115 instead of 2001115 - that second one could really
be anything).
If you're sure you're storing the birthdays properly, you can then cut
the strings up when you pull them out of the database, the first 4 chars
are the year, the next two make the month (regardless of the actual month,
this way it'll be "01" not "1"), then the day.
Do that for both of the dates.
Now, you can use the mktime() command to turn them into unix tiumestamps.
$unixtimeme = mktime(myhour, myminute, mysecond, mymonth, myday, myyear);
$unixtimethem = mktime(theirhour, theirminute, theirsecond, theirmonth,
theirday, theiryear);
Now, a unix timestamp is the number of seconds from 00:00:01, Jan 1, 1970.
You can figure out the difference in seconds between the two timestamps.
Divide it by (24*3600), which is the number of seconds in a day, and there
you have the number of days between the dates.
Incidentally, if you want to find the number of days between your birthDAYS,
then you'll want to substitute in a specific year in the mktime() statements
above, as you'll otherwise end up with the number of days between your exact
DATES of birth.

Fetch the comfy chair!
all right, now I have both date values in the same format (yyyy/mm/dd), say
$Date1 = 20010115 and $Date2 =20010120. If what I want is to find out if
$Date1 come before $Date2, can I just use this sniplet below?
if ($Date1 < $Date2) {
...........
} else {
.......
}
Do I still need to use mktime() for this purpose?

Hey people!
What is wrong with this code?
$buffer = split("([0-9] -->)",$pagedata);
$x = count ($buffer);
echo $x;
for ($i=0;$i<$x;$i++) {
ereg("([0-9] -->)", $buffer[$i], $text);
ereg_replace (" -->","", $text[1]);
echo $text[1];
}
Since $pagedata has 8 appearences of the REGEX I am looking for and it is
only printing the first one...
Help! ;-)
Thank you,
Rom
First, the ()'s in the split regex makes no sense. Split has no registers
to save stuff to.
Second, that is a rather clunky way to loop through an array.
Third, since the regex in split defines the delimiter to use to split the
string on, the actual "1 -->" part of the data is gone. Why are you
checking for it via an ereg() call in the loop?
As far as I can tell, you simply want this:
$buffer = split("[0-9] -->",$pagedata);

Ok, but the warning says that call time pass by reference is deprecated.
Will there be an update at some point to address this in phplib?

Hi,
I got around this by changing the following two functions below. Basically
you can remove the call by reference construct &$str by resetting $str to
its returned value:
function serialize($prefix, $str) {
static $t,$l,$k;
## Determine the type of $$prefix
eval("\$t = gettype(\$$prefix);");
switch ( $t ) {
case "array":
## $$prefix is an array. Enumerate the elements and serialize them.
eval("reset(\$$prefix); \$l = gettype(list(\$k)=each(\$$prefix));");
$str .= "\$$prefix = array(); ";
while ( "array" == $l ) {
## Structural recursion
$str = $this->serialize($prefix."['".ereg_replace("([\\'])",
"\\\\1", $k)."']", $str);
eval("\$l = gettype(list(\$k)=each(\$$prefix));");
}
break;
case "object":
## $$prefix is an object. Enumerate the slots and serialize them.
eval("\$k = \$${prefix}->classname; \$l =
reset(\$${prefix}->persistent_slots);");
$str.="\$$prefix = new $k; ";
while ( $l ) {
## Structural recursion.
$str = $this->serialize($prefix."->".$l,$str);
eval("\$l = next(\$${prefix}->persistent_slots);");
}
break;
default:
## $$prefix is an atom. Extract it to $l, then generate code.
eval("\$l = \$$prefix;");
$str.="\$$prefix = '".ereg_replace("([\\'])", "\\\\1", $l)."'; ";
break;
}
return $str;
}
## freeze():
##
## freezes all registered things ( scalar variables, arrays, objects )
into
## a database table
function freeze() {
$str="";
$str = $this->serialize("this->in",$str);
$str = $this->serialize("this->pt",$str);
reset($this->pt);
while ( list($thing) = each($this->pt) ) {
$thing=trim($thing);
if ( $thing ) {
$str = $this->serialize("GLOBALS['".$thing."']",$str);
}
}
$r = $this->that->ac_store($this->id, $this->name, $str);
$this->release_lock();
if(!$r) $this->that->ac_halt("Session: freeze() failed.");
}

Hi
Im getting a parse error with this:
$sqlCheckLogin = sqlExecute( "Select * from Sky where SkyUName =
'".$HTTP_POST_VARS['UserName']."'
AND SkyPasswd = '".($HTTP_POST_VARS['Password'])."'" ) ;
Help!!!!
Hi people,
may be I did not make my question clear about what I try to do. Basically if I have 2
date values in the same format like yyyy-mm-dd, can I use both values to find out if
one come before another and then display message or something? Say I have $date1 =
20010115 and $date2 = 20010120 ( which of course we can easily tell that $date1 come
before $date2). Can I use the sniplet below:
if ($date1 < $date2) {
......
}else{
.....
}
Or do I need mktime() command to convert $date1 and $date2 like
if (mktime($date1) < mktime9$date2)) {
.....
}else{
....
}
cheers

Hi,
This "special server" is usually called an SMSC - SMS Center, run by your
mobile operator. These SMSC's are pretty powerful in the way that you can
access them through TCP (VPN for sure, and sometimes even HTTP), or through
a direct link connexion. You'd need to talk to your mobile operator to get
an access to it, though. Most offer that as a (paying) service to companies
whow ould like to easily send out mass SMS's to their employees, truck
drivers, agents, etc.
Complete specification for a pretty much used SMSC can be found on the NOKIA
site, in the developer's section.
Now I'm glad I had something to contribute to this list ;)

It is really very simple as long as you have a tie up with SMSC (usually a
mobile phone service operator)
Then all you have to do is (in most cases) send a specially formatted
email to the SMSC the email address is usually

^.+@.+\\..+$ This regular expression can check if the email address is

I use this code:
/*

* Only does a very rough check. Checking for complete

*/
function pbIsMailAddress ($Address)

$Address = preg_replace ('/\([^()]*\)/', '', $Address);
// strip leading/trailing whitespace
$Address = trim ($Address);

I was wondering what Im sure a well knowledged php expert like your self
would recommend a hands on php crash course. The best way for me to jump
right in to understanding php and getting started making my first data
base.
with php3 and mysql. I understand that is how you have to do it.
See Im running a apache server that my father started.
And up to this point have been working with basic cgi stuff and dealing
with tech support and minor web design.
But I need to get into data base stuff and the only way Im going to be
able to make something like a shopping cart or anything of that nature
is to learn.
My father knew allot of this stuff but Un fortunately he past away and
Im stuck. So any suggestions would be great and can I count on you to
answer any questions I might have. I have been going to the php.net
site. And are starting there.
Thank you and god Bless.
Ps. Any books you think would be my best start.
Im pretty good at picking things up but I have never messed with
php3 either.
I also Know about php4 but I have users I guess up till now are using
php3 will this change what the are doing and continuing to do. I mean do
they have learn and change everything to or is it I except everything
till now and then more of what php4 offers too. Im not sure how that
works.
I do not want to change anything on the server UN LESS IM VERY VERY
SURE<<<
Ok well I thank you so much.

Most of it is the same, but there are small differences. Be sure you
read this:
http://www.php.net/version4/migration.php
I would also suggest that you notify your users and give them a chance
to respond if they wish.

Agreed.

Hi Herb,
PHP is wonderful. Regarding any upgrade issues, check out :
http://www.php.net/FAQ.php#11
http://www.php.net/version4/migration.php
http://www.opendeveloper.org/PHP/HowTo/Upgrading_From_PHP3_to_PHP4/
AFAIK, it *won't* cause problems upgrading. Do be sure to parse the
current extension though (i.e. be sure to keep .php3 within httpd.conf)
For information on all this check out :
http://www.e-gineer.com/instructions/
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php
Doing it at 3am is suggested and giving users some warning just in case
:-) Regarding learning php, there are some main sites to consider for
learing :
http://www.devshed.com/
http://www.phpbuilder.com/
http://www.zend.com/
http://php.faqts.com/
There are others (and others). Like for instance :
http://php.faqts.com/
http://www.thickbook.com/
http://www.weberdev.com/
http://www.google.com/
http://www.google.com/
http://www.google.com/
Regarding books, the wrox books are popular, check them out. The php
site lists books and by purchasing there money goes to PHP effort, list
is here :
http://www.php.net/books.php
And you will need to know SQL, here is a basic tutorial :
http://www.sqlcourse.com/
And if you want to know my favorite php tutorial that I wish all php users
would consider and print out it is as follows :
http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/using-strings.php
And remember, practise makes perfect this is so very true. Nobody is
perfect and we've all written crappy code in the past (and present) so
it's okay. And, nobody memorizes the manual, keep this in mind. It's a
reference/tool. It is very valuable and contains many useful friendly
examples. At least skimming through it and working the examples through
(if not code, at least in head and say to self "ahhhhh, that makes sense")
it is important as in the future when one wants to do something the brain
will think "hmm, I've read about this once before" and thus one searches
the manual and finds. Also, searching the mailing list is very important,
use one or two specific words that are sure to exist in question. It is
okay to ask questions but odds are someone else has asked a similar
question in past, an archive is found here (google also keeps this
archive!!!):
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general
It is very useful to add this and php site to browser "command line" and
instruction on this can be found here :
http://www.php.net/tips.php
That's what comes to mind at this point, hopefully this rambling email
makes sense. Just remember, start small. Build an addressbook. After
that, add features to it like make sure user inputs real data (not blank
(empty), is x characters in length (strlen) or is an email address (ereg).
Then make users name in addressbook apear with First Letter Capitalized
(ucwords) and so on, so forth. Also, be sure to research, it is very
useful to do. If one wants to do something odds are there is a function to
do it or a function was created to help do it. For scripts, look here :
http://www.hotscripts.com/
http://px.sklar.com/
http://www.freshmeat.net/
http://www.sourceforge.net/
And through all that all will be good. This now concludes this post,
good luck!

Actually it does..
I've seen it so many times on this list... subjects like: HEEELLPPP!!
Upgrating problems....!!!!
I just think it is time to do it. First or Later you should upgrade your
PHP....
so, do it now and listen to these few complains you'll receive....
Cheers...

As long as the password and username are on an include not available

I'm pretty comfortable programming directly with OCIwhatever() functions
directly in the main code, that's it.
In other words, i don't need to make my code more maintainable because i'm
comfortable with maintaining it right now.

Why, when you have notepad.exe and a couple of browsers to test that the
pages work properly?
Here's what you wrote, 01-01-14:

For this, I'd use strip_tags().
Example: strip_tags($contents, "<b>,<i>,<a>,<em>,<cite>")
Will remove all tags from a user submission except Bold, Italics,
Anchor tags, Emphasis, and Cite.
Kristofer
ps. Strip Tags is not available in PHP prior to 3.018 in the CGI
version. I know it's available in the 3.015 version of the Apache
module.

I think you mean
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE towns LIKE \"%$town%\" ";
The % is more fuzzy. Look it up in the MySQL manual for more details
on %. <http://www.mysql.com/doc/>

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=20
Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we w=
ill=20
assume You and those involved send out only 5,000 e-mails each. Let's=20
also assume that the mailing receive only a 0.2% response (the response=20
could be much better but lets just say it is only 0.2%. Also many people=20
will send out hundreds of thousands e-mails instead of only 5,000 each).=20
Continuing with this example, you send out only 5,000 e-mails. With a 0.2%=20
response, that is only 10 orders for report # 1. Those 10 people responded=20
by sending out 5,000 e-mail each for a total of 50,000. Out of those 50,000=
=20
e-mails only 0.2% responded with orders. That's=3D100 people responded and=20
ordered Report # 2.=20
Those 100 people mail out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 500,000 e-mails=
.=20
The 0.2% response to that is 1000 orders for Report # 3.=20
Those 1000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 5 million e-ma=
ils=20
sent out. The 0.2% response to that is 10,000 orders for Report # 4.=20
Those 10,000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 50,000,000=20
(50 million) e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is 100,000 orders for Repor=
t=20
# 5 THAT'S 100,000 ORDERS TIMES $5 EACH=3D$500,000.00 (half million).=20
Your total income in this example is: 1..... $50 + 2..... $500 + 3..... $5,=

The book definitely is THE book for MySQL programming. PHP is
discussed as one of several APIs for interacting with MySQL. Nothing
more, nothing less.
This book is by far and away the best technical manual I have ever
read. It was a joy to read, and even though his section on PHP was
less than exhaustive, I learned more about good PHP programming in
that section than I did in the two other PHP only books I bought.
I think, given the complexity of database design (if you want to do
it right), that it's worth it to really study MySQL in and of itself.

Hi,
please, would anybody be so kind and tell me what differences are
amoung __FILE__, $PATH_INFO and $PATH_TRANSLATED? And in which cases
they will have other values?
Thanks.

__FILE__ is the filename of the current file being parsed. This can
change around as the php script includes other files. It is mostly used
for printing out information on where an error occurred.
$PATH_INFO is the part of the URI after the script. ie.
www.php.net/test.php/whatever/blah
In this case $PATH_INFO would be /whatever/blah
$PATH_TRANSLATED is $PATH_INFO translated to an absolute file path on the
file system. So something like /var/web/whatever/blah for the above
example.

Hi people,
I have tried to compare 2 date values to see if one come before another using the
sniplet below:
if ($date1 < $date2) {
do something
}else{
.......
}
while $date1 is in "yyyymmdd" format but $date2 is in "yyyy-mm-dd" formate because I
get value of $date2 from a "date" data type field from a table.
Can I use this "yyyy-mm-dd" to compare with value from another date variabile in the
"yyyymmdd" format? If not possible, How do I make both of them to be in the same
format?
cheers
Jack

It seems that when I did my fread, I was using the wrong filename in the

I read once on this list that PHP supports a DBI-like database access object (such as
the one in Perl). Is this true? Does anyone know where I can find documentation for
it? I can't seem to find it in the manual.
Also, how do you all handle generic SQL for multiple DBMSs? I'd like (ideally) to
write SQL that is DBMS-independent, although that's probably not possible. I'm very
familiar with mysql and not much else; as far as I'm aware, mysql is the primary DBMS
that has problems with standard SQL (like nested queries and such). Does anyone even
worry about this?
I'm writing a little piece of software that I'd like to be as extensible as possible
and as usable as possible for people using any DBMS, including mysql.
Anyway, if I can't find a generic built-in database interface in PHP, it'll all be
moot. I'd really rather not use phplib; I'd like to use an interface built in to the
interpreter rather than something that's interpreted on every page access.
Thanks for the help.
Dean.

You won't find one. The 'benefit' of PHP is that is, for the most part, uses native
db drivers for access to each db. Should be a bit faster and allows access to the
specific features of each db.
There is a PEAR repository which offers something similar to DBI, afaik, but it's not
widely discussed, from what I can see. PEAR is a set of files that comes with a
distribution, and there is a README. People on shared host environments may be out of
luck here, though, with respect to a README (d/l the file and read it manualyl I
guess).
"metabase" from manuel lemos purports to be a single interface to multiple dbs - write
one SQL statement and it'd do the necessary translation on the SQL to be specific to
whatever db you are using. Haven't used it, but heard nice things about it. But, it
violates your 'not interpreted' clause.
Good luck.

How do I modify the value of the current element of an array?
-- Catalin Borcea --
\\\|///

-----oOOO----(_)----OOOo----
try this one.. seems to easy though. Maybe I'm missing something??
<?

$my_arr[1]= "ichi";
$my_arr[2]= "ni";
$my_arr[3]= "san";
$my_arr[4]= "shi";
$my_arr[5]= "go";

$curr_key = key($my_arr);
/* for debug's sake, print the variables out */
print($curr_val."\n"); /* returns "ichi" */
print($curr_key."\n"); /* returns "1" */
/* now, use that key variable to change the current value */
$my_arr[$curr_key] = "one";

Hi,
I wrote a script that does searching against a MySQL database.
The resultant page displays 10 records at a time while there is the
Prev...Next Page at the bottom of the page.
There is no problem if the search string is say, "ABC". However, it will
give a problem
if the string is "Mr ABC". I display this string at every page so that
users know
what they searched for.
For example:
You search for: $searchstring
I believe it something to do with blank spaces.
Help??

This must sound pretty far-fetched, but as far as I can tell, my site is
attempting to set a session cookie from any and all PHP pages, even when
the page has no calls to session_* functions and where there were also no
previous visits to pages with such calls. Where is the setting that is
initializing these unneccessary sessions and sending the cookies? I looked
for something in php.ini or phpinfo() to explain it, but came up empty.
Below are excerpts from a phpinfo() dump.
I wondered about that "session.use_trans_sid", but there's no reference to
it in my php.ini file (yes, I checked that phpinfo says I'm looking at the
correct one) and I also cannot find anything about it in the PHP.net online
docs. What does that setting do, and where is it configured?
TIA

It looks like I've finally figured out the answer to this part of my
question (it's always five minutes after you finally break down and ask for
help, isn't it? <sigh>). Apparently session.auto_start=1 was the culprit.
I'm still hoping someone can help me with the other question, though:

Check out http://www.scripps.edu/~jesusmc/cachedtpl/CachedTemplate.html
by Jesus M Castagnetto. His class solves the problem with caching
templates for all the template classes he has found.
One of those he found was a class called XTemplates, that class have
some very good functions, you could write this in your templae page:
{Pvalues.page_id}
and in the php page you could assign the result set directly to Pvalues,
and all items called Pvalues.something would be filled out with the
column of the same name.
The only drawback of XTemplates is that it adds some extra spaces to the
output, which on large pages might amount to quite a bit, but since
you're complentating working something like this out, you might instead
rewrite this class to remove that bit of a problem. (I haven't had the
time to track the bug down myself.)
Some timings I've made have shown that XTemplates on a large result set
seems to be only 10% slower than the templates which comes with PHPLib,
which is pretty good.
Finally it is much easier to use and initalize than any template engine
I've tried.

Look at your php.ini configuration - specifically
session.gc_probability
session.gc_maxlifetime
they will help you manage sessions and give a lifetime to
each session.
You can also use a scheduled(cron on *nix) job to remove sessions
older than ??? minutes.

Is there any IMAP PHP functions using ssl ??
Do I have to just switch the port 143->993 to use ssl
or do I have to use specific functions implemented in
PHP 4 ??

Hi,
compiled PHP3/PHP4 as external CGI under Apache.
Calling
<?php
virtual("test.html");
?>
results in a
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: virtual() in "local-path" on
line 4
Does this funktion need to be activated ?
Does is not work in a CGI-PHP ?

Hi all,
I've some strange problems.
First i tried to update PHP-403pl1 with PHP-404.
PHP was running smoothly on my Apache-1.3.14 but after the upgrade
(no compile errors, ./configure okay and no errors at all when compiling
PHP-404)
i wanted to restart Apache..
it said something like: crc32; undefined reference.
and, the /www/libexec/php4lib.so gave a seg. fault when I tried to run it.
So, i compiled apache & PHP from fresh .tar.gz, but this time, not as DSO,
but static.
This time, PHP isn't giving any troubles at all, but the compilation of
apache gives some errors
when trying to compile the PHP4 module... here are they:
