Hi,
I want to use the xmltree(), xmldoc() functions, etc.
According to the PHP manual, these functions should be available in PHP
4.0b4 onwards,
I am running PHP 4.0.1pl2 but when I try to call xmltree() I get this
error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: xmltree() in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/megsoc2/test/xml_parse/test1.php on line 5
How can I use these functions?
thanks,
- Kev

you prob. need to compile php again with '--with-xml'
see 'configure --help' for more info.

No, you need --with-dom.

Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have now compiled PHP with the --with-dom option, but unfortunately
something is wrong!
Here's my source (adapted from code in the manual):
<?
$fd = fopen("Competition8.xml","r");
$myXML = fread($fd,filesize("Competition8.xml"));
fclose($fd);
$docTree = xmltree($myXML);
print("<pre>");
print_r( $docTree );
print( "</pre>" );
?>
The only HTML output I get is this:
<pre></pre>
Any ideas?
TIA,
- Kev

It is indeed a bug - I fixed it in CVS version if you want to try that.

* A feature is a bug with seniority. *
Another good way to do that is to load the file in the database.
The cities are a constant, and you can have them loaded in the database by a
script that check if they exist, if not create a new row with the new city;
if exist you update the data only...
Because if each time that a user goes to a page and this script check in the
text for a specific city, it would be very slow... it would be easier, in my
point of view, that the same script that grab the file from the server also
update the data in the database table. This will give you more power like,
the time that was updated, number of times per day and etc, that you can
show to your users.
Have fun,
Rom

Assuming the first field (i.e. CYGL) is unique, just read each line and
check using a regular expression whether it matches the city you
require. If it matches, you can stop reading the file and do whatever you
need to do with the line.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have any ideas how does Windows Explorer work? I am trying to
create same functionality for Event Type in my Event table, I need to have
same kind of expand function like Explorer. Could anyone tell me the
structure, ideas or methods to create such expand function. Thanks!
Calvin Chua
This is a quite involved question youve asked :) I think your more
interested in how the hiarky works in a folder inside of folder system
right? I use a table with three fields.
category_num
parent_num
category_name
base (100, 0, base) -> fruits (101, 100, fruits) -> tomatoes (103, 101,
tomatoes)
->
oranges (104, 101, oranges)
-> vegetables (102, 100, fruits) -> brocolli
(105, 102, brocolli)
-> carotts (106, 102, carotts)
| category_num | parent_num | category_name |
================================
| 100 | 0 | base |
| 101 | 100 | fruits |
| 103 | 101 | tomatoes |
| 104 | 101 | oranges |
| 102 | 100 | vegetables |
| 105 | 102 | brocolli |
| 106 | 102 | carotts |
draw a fairly simple tree out on paper and you will begin to see it all
clearer then outlook express allows me to :)
Ive seen tutorials around, ie phpbuilder.com, I found them confusing, hehe,
good luck !

How can i add all the fetched rows from a table?
$result=mysql("$DBName","SELECT * FROM basket WHERE UserID='$UID'");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$CID=$row[0];
$DMN=$row[1];
$DMB=$row[2];
$BID=$row[4];
do{
print "$DMB";
}
Let's say i have to display the endprice from all the items from user $UID in the
basket. Price from the items is in row $[2] or $DMB. How can i do that?
well your code snipit allready shows your answer.
$result = mysql_db_query($DBName, "SELECT * FROM basket WHERE
UserID='$UID'");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$CID = $row[0];
$DMN = $row[1];
$DMB = $row[2];
$BID = $row[4];
echo "Price: $DMB<br>\n";
}

yeah, but if the user has 20 items in the cart (=20 rows), how do i show the endprice
of his items? In the below example it just prints all the rows from the user but i
want to make a simple mathematical addition $DMB+$DMB+$DMB and so on as rows for this
user exists. It might simple for you but not for a "newcomer" :)

Hello list,
Just a quickie. Does anyone have a code snippet for calculating the day of
the week given a date? I was hoping I could feed a string like "20010116" to
a function and have it return "Tuesday" - it doesn't have to be exactly this
date format that is used for the input, but I do need the name of the day on
the output!
I'm hunting around at the moment but I haven't had any joy so far, I thought
I'd see if anyone's already invented this wheel...
Cheers
Jon

Cheers Andy, between my last post and this one I came up with a rather
long-winded way of doing it...
$dayarray = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$month,$date,$year));
switch ($dayarray["wday"]) {
case 0:
$day = "Sunday";
break;
case 1:
$day = "Monday";
break;
case 2:
$day = "Tuesday";
break;
case 3:
$day = "Wednesday";
break;
case 4:
$day = "Thursday";
break;
case 5:
$day = "Friday";
break;
case 6:
$day = "Saturday";
break;
}
Ugh. I'll try your method.
Cheers
Jon

covert your date string to a unix timestamp and then use date("l",
$myString)
have a great day,

Hmmm. I did:
$timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,$month,$date,$year);
$day = date("1", $timestamp);
and it returns 1, no matter what the contents of $month, $date and $year
are. Did I miss something?

covert your date string to a unix timestamp and then use date("l",

Yes, you're missing the fact that it's a lowercase 'L', and not in fact the

Gah. I read that lower case l as a number 1. Time to get new glasses/switch

Yes, I know that. But what I'm saying is that eg.
<?php
header("Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml");
?>
<wml>
<card>
<p>Hello world!</p>
</card>
</wml>
...gets put out with a text/html content type as opposed to the specified
text/vnd.wap.wml. Having said that, I just tried it on the linux machine and

Rick Hodger
I seem to remember reading something very recently, possibly on this list,
about WML. IIRC, if you drop out of PHP at any point the rest of the
document gets treated as text/html. Try something like
<?php
header("Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml");
echo("<wml><card><p>Hello world!</p></card></wml>");
?>
and see if it works.
Sorry to be vague, but I didn't pay *that* much attention to it at the time!

are you sure that there's nothing in the file in before you call the
header() function? The situation you describe could happen if there was an
empty line at the begining of the file and the warnings were turned off.
When I tried your code it worked as expected:
C:\>c:\php4\php test.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.4
Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml
<wml>
<card>

Hmmm - you might need to start checking details of your configuration. I've had
no problems doing a lot of WML work in PHP and it's always correctly returned
the content-type I've set using header on 4.0.3pl1 (OpenBSD) and 4.0.3 / 4.0.4
(Win32).
Do you have anything like output buffering turned on? I doubt that's causing
the problem as I use output buffering semi-frequently[0] but it can't hurt to
check.
[0] neat hack - use ob_content_length() to tell when you've output almost as
much data as the phone can handle (find this by doing a browser detect) so you
can stop looping over a recordset and emit the Next/Prev page headers instead).
Hello. Does anybody know any class or similar for 3d graph like bars,

I have a textarea in one php page to allow user to leave message. How ever,
if the user input(three lines):
123
456
567
after I get it through some php scripts, and put it into database, later on,
I try to display it, but it becomes(only one line):
123 456 789
Does anyone know how to handle this? One idea is to convert the <END OF LINE
CHAR> to "<BR>" before putting it into the database, but how can we detect
the <END OF LINE CHAR> in PHP? Or is there any other ways?
Thank you very much in advance.

Search the list archives. I already posted a solution for this (complete,
working source code) some time ago.

nl2br() will do the translation for you, just store the text in database in
the form user writes it (allows later editing of the messages in the db
without having to deal with <br>'s) and then echo(nl2br($message)) it.

Hi All
I am unable to find the correct solution (where to start) with this
problem. We are an Open Source group developing an ECC based
(elliptic curve) public key cryptography alternative to PGP. For this
project we need a public database to store the public keys in with
search facilities and the possibility to import the selected records
to a local private database. We have tried to keep all things very
open and extendable and I have tried to define an interface to the
shared database that will allow it to be independent from the actual
application (the database can be replaced without any changes to
the database protocol). I will use MySQL and PHP for the server
side work.
For more information please see:
http://www.egroups.com/group/pegwit
or
http://www.pegwit.org (not working yet)
To download the current GUI front-end download:
http://www.egroups.com/files/pegwit/Contributions/GUIBeast6.zip
I have come to the conclusion to base it on a standard protocol like
the one used in HTML and URL with web browsers. This is mainly
because I then can simplify the shared database protocol to 2
basic actions (export a key(s) and import keys). All selection etc.
is a job for the browser and not for the local application. The
protocol is also very portable and will be easy to implement on
many platforms.
It is easy to export a public key record to the web server with a
search URL like: (http://site.xx/?name1=value1&name2=value2
etc.)
My main problem is to find a way to export the selected records
from the browser and import them into the local database (you may
have a solution). The only solution I have found is to pass the IP
address and port with the URL when the browser is initialized and
start a IP server in the local application that will wait and receive the
selected records from the web server when the end user press a
specific button in the selection web page (server then act as a IP
client and connect to the local server to deliver the selected
records)
A more simple and also portable solution is to download a file with
the selections made. My main problem with this approach is the
"save as" dialog that will come up in all cases (you may have a
workaround this problem). If the dialog is not shown up the
download destination (directory) need to be passed to the server
when the session is initialized so that the web browser knows
where to save the information. Is this possible with PHP ???
Thanks in advance.

Search for FDF and there you go.

why go for anything but the newest ? is this production ? if so stick to

I'm using RedHat 7.0, php-4.0.4pl1, pdflib-3.03, apache-1.3.14, mysql-3.23.29
All seems to be well.
Lee.
dude,
I installed RH7
_nightmare_
so I promptly uninstalled it, and am happily running 6.2
I would advise convincing whoever told you to do that out of doing that :)
I would recommend waiting until oracle runs on redhat 7.(x) - that's a good
litmus test.

Hi
I have 2 forms:
subscribe.php
confirm.php
If the user enters data correctly in subscribe.php I have an an include
pointing to confirm.php. This gives the user a chance to review the data
before final submission.
I want the user to be able to click the back button on their browser and
view/make changes on the entry form if they find a typo but Netscape's back
button will not take me back to the original form. It just redisplays the
results of confirm.php while Internet Explorer works fine.
Do any of you have a solution for this? I have almost pulled out all my hair
on this one.
Thanks
Todd

Put a button labelled "Change" or "Make Corrections" or some such on your
confirmation screen (and then write the code for that, of course). It's not
pretty, but it can't fail.

Is there a way to call one regexp on multiple variables, in one statement?
In Perl, I'd do:
s/this/that for ($var1, $var2, $var3);
tia.. and please reply directly.

Why don't you do a function with an ereg inside?
I don't think that exist a command like that...

Most of the preg_ functions support arrays of values as input

Persistent connections are more efficient in that they don't need to open the
connection each time. Unless you have an overwhelming need to limit concurrent
connections to your MySQL server, you should probably be using persistent
connections.

There's one thing, that I don't understand about permanent connections.
When will they be closed?
I could use a logout-page, but there is no garanty for the use of it.
Any explanation would be appreciated.

PHP handles persistent connections by leaving them open
for some other identical connection request. The next request
will check for a free connection.
see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.persistent-connections.php
In other words, you don't need to worry about when they are closed
php will handle that for you

Knowing which web server you're using helps, but if you're using Apache, the
way to do it is to turn it off in php.ini and then turn it on in httpd.conf or
.htaccess or wherever for the directory/location phpMyAdmin is in.
--
Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
using .htaccess with phpMyAdmin can cause problems with Advanced Authentication (which
you should be using).
AFAIK only horde's implementation of phplib wants magic quotes turned off- last time I
looked at phplib itself, it wanted them on.
It's *possible* I got that backwards, but I don't think so.
If it is horde you are trying to install- if its just an imap client you are looking
for- check out basilix.
I also believe you can use a directive either in the php.ini file or httpd.conf to
turn magic quotes on/off on a per directory basis, w/o .htaccess (again- I'm not
positive... check the php documentation)

Since phpmyadmin doesn't use an include path and an auto prepend file but
phplib does, what we do is run them under separate sub directories. Under
the phplib subdir we use an .htaccess to specify the phplib directives
needed to make it run and under the phpmyadmin subdir we don't specify
anything since phpmyadmin doesn't require this.
What we don't do is put the phplib .htaccess with it's directives under the
web root "/". That way we can specify varying configurations under various
sub directories.
So, you can have magic quotes on under one dir and off under another. Use
.htaccess for configuration.
best of both worlds.

If you're using Apache one way of doing it is using the all-powerful
mod_rewrite. That way you could request http://www.example.com/team/tigers and
it could automagically get converted to
http://www.example.com/profile.php3 with $team set to "tigers".

Hello Everybody,
I have seen a lot of people ask for XML support for PHP. I was wondering
what it does that makes it good for PHP.
Thank you,

That's a hard one to answer--I'll try anyway. I'm sorry if it sounds a
bit simple-minded but that's the sort of person I am ;-).
XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. It's an attempt by both large
corporations (notably Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM) as well as the standards
organizations (notable the W3C) to create a "lingua franca" for the web. A
lot of understanding it has first to have a slightly different perspective
of what we mean by "the internet" and "the web".
First when most people say "the internet" now, they pretty much mean
"the web" and e-mail. When people say "the web" they mean HTTP and HTML
(with a little SSL thrown in for e-commerce). HTTP is the transport protocol
(how it is delivered) and HTML is the markup language (the message). XML
attempts to replace and supersede HTML without saying anything about HTTP
(though one can assume that most of the delivery will be done via HTTP, much
to the chagrin of many security administrators who depend on firewalls).
XML is a markup language like HTML. Unlike HTML, the markup language is
extensible (basically think of it as saying you can define your own tags and
attributes). This means you can make descriptive tags such as
<book type="paperback"><AUTHOR>Joe Blogs</AUTHOR><TITLE>SATs - How to be
beaten by the system</TITLE><SUBJECT>Test preparation</SUBJECT></book>
Which looks a lot like HTML but isn't. Interestingly, the tags are
descriptive of the content which beats the hell out of UN/EDIFACT if you've
ever had to do any work for big business. Other differences are the rules
are more rigid than HTML: all tags must close, all attributes must be
quoted, all reserved characters must be escaped properly, all tags and
attributes are case sensitive. The default format for display is double byte
encoded characters (UTF-16 / UNICODE) (Note: The default used by PHP seems
to be UTF-8 so you should change it to that charset in the XML directives
line).-
So basically what you have when you are done is a text based
hierarchical data structure that's extensible and machine readable. That's
all XML is.
Now the things you can do with it. Obviously for one I can use this to
serialize objects in PHP very easily since I can store objects in XML
representation which is just a string to be saved. The WDDX module does that
in some standard way.
A note about standards. Since XML is extensible, there is a need to be
specified so that I can communicate with you and we understand each other.
XML is really more like a markup language FORMAT than a language (or seen
another way, it's a standard but not a specification). There are various
specifications and attempts at specifications out there and are usually
referred to as DTDs, Document Type Definitions, or Schema. It used to be you
specified your Schema in another markup language called SGML but then some
people figured if XML is so extensible you should be able to specify your
own Schema in an Schema language which itself is XML. This is known, not
surprisingly, as XML Schema. Which represents another thing you can do with
XML: Use XML to specify XML data formats.
A useful one for web programmers right now is you can use XML to turn
XML into other XML formats. This is done through XSL-T (eXtensible
Stylesheet Language - Transform) which is built into a PHP module called
Sablotron (Side Note: I couldn't compile Sablotron 0.50 in PHP yet, it
failes during the linking step in Apache and claims that it can't find some
library that is in Expat). Sablotron (and many XML-T parsers) is a little
robust in that you can use it to transform it into HTML and text too. This
warrants a bit larger description...
Basically XSL works by taking an input XML file (we'll call this the
"data store") and using another XML file written using the XSL specification
(we'll call this the "rules file") to create another file in a different XML
format (we'll all this the "presentation file"). Obviously when the
presentation file is in XML, we can chain another rules file to it to make
another presentation file and so on. XSLT parsers such as Sablotron allow us
to do just that. Why is this powerful? The best way is through examples
(1) Our company builds a search engine that goes out and does a
real-time travel comparison engine of 25 separate travel websites. Given
that each search does this, we offload this to a business rules server that
creates this and returns the results. Because we add sites and features
almost at will, this messaging standard had to be extensible. The webserver
has to communicate with this business rules server and understand it. A
stylesheet can ensure that the message that gets sent to the web server is
always in line with what the webserver can understand even if we upgrade our
features on the business rules server.
(2) Furthermore, we have some nasty internal business rules embeded in
our XML data store on the business rules server. An XSLT filter allows us to
remove these internal business rules before delivery. This makes our
business objects resellable to third parties as an application service
without compromising our internal ones and requiring much coding. we can use
the same XML data store to store private and public information.
(3) The webserver itself needs to parse and deliver the data. That data
may vary on our site vs. a cobranded site. With XSLT you can transform XML
on the fly to XHTML (a superset of HTML) and tack on your presentation layer
(nice little font tags and setting the color and whatnot). A different XSLT
for a different browser or cobrand, yet the same datastore for all of them.
This is called "separating your presentation from your data". Microsoft
calls this 3-tiering, n-tiering, DNA, NetDocs, and now dotNet. (Well some of
the later ones are a bit more than just 3-tiering, but the basic idea is in
tact).
Well I hope you get the idea. I'm sure you can thing of other things
such as...
(4) Oracle, Microsoft and others now allow you to query their databases
in XML. So do companies (in my field) such as Apollo and Sabre. These are
hardly compatible, nor do they in any way represent something that is
comfortable to manipulate. An XSLT layer as a data abstraction layer allows
you to transform someone else's standard into an internal one you can
manipulate in a known way.
(5) I mentioned XML is machine readable. Imagine: web pages are not very
machine readable. Need I say more?
I could go on, but I'm not an imaginative fellow.
Let's see. There's also PDF. PDF isn't in XML but there is something
called XSL-FO (formatting objects) which some PDF generators (perhaps the
two that PHP has modules for?) understand. So writing XSL-FO for output for
a PDF generator is "doing XML" also.
Then there is the fact that it hierarchical data which sometimes,
despite all these neat tools, needs to be parsed and understood. If we had a
standardized API for manipulating it, then all the knowledge in learning the
API for say visual basic on a Windows box can be transferred to doing in in
C++ in AIX or perhaps PHP? Yes, there are two such standards, one is an
event driven one (reads a tag and calls a callback function) known as "SAX"
(Simple API for XML) and implemented in the Expat (--with-xml in PHP which
is compiled by default in PHP4) and the other reads the whole thing into a
hierarchical (treelike) object structure called the DOM (Document Object
Model) which is implemented in libxml (--with-domxml or somesuch in PHP).
I personally prefer the DOM version of looking at things (it's a bit
slower and chews more memory). Unfortunately the dom-xml in PHP doesn't much
resemble anyone elses DOM (at least not Oracle's or Microsofts), it's a bit
buggy (for instance, you can't remove a node, nor can you seem to modify the
text in a node) and it chews a whole slew of memory (much more than I'd
expect and that amount has almost doubled since they've incorporated XPath
support with PHP 4.0.4+).
Now a final reason why PHP and XML should go hand in hand. (Because if
you haven't figured out by now, I'm really big on PHP and on XML). A study I
read estimates that by the end of this year over 50% of the Fortune 500 will
be using XML in some "test bed" situation and by 2004 80% of all business
communication on the internet will use XML.
I hope this gives you some motivation to pick up XML and use PHP to do
so. Because the more of us that are doing so, the more developers there will
be working (or pushing others to work) on improving XML support in PHP. With
more robust cool tools like the PHP developers have already given me (and
hopefully will continue to do so), I won't feel so bad about studying
condensed matter physics and neuroscience for the last 9 years instead of
majoring in something real like computer science and learning how to code in
Java and C++.

That is not really the case. XML cannot be a replacement for html because
xml is not a set of defined elements like html is.
Think of XML as the _rules_ for defining your own markup languages.
XHTML is an attempt to being html in-line with the XML standard, but there
are gazillions of XML DTDs (document type definition, basically says what
elements and attributes you can have in a particular XML document) for all
kinds of things.
XML is fantastic specifically because it is _not_ a markup language: it
enables companies and industries to create _their_own_ markup languages for
specific purposes.

yes, and you can use it for document storage, remote procedure calls, EDI,

for example, a DTD for that bookmark example above is unly useful if a bunch
of people agree on it as a standard, otherwise it doesn't do any real good.

XST (and XSLT) are fairly good for transforming between two document types,
but some people have started using it as a template mechanism for XML ->
HTML.
Problem is, you have to write like _ten_times_ as much XSL as html just to
get a basic template going.
XSL is like CFML but the design is even worse (gah) and it can't talk to a
database :)! (ok, that't not a perfect example...)

That is cool, but why XSLT? Why not a bit of php code that is comparably

yes, this is a central argument I've had with a few people: using XML and
parsing all that data coming out of a database is a huge hassle. XML should
be an output format and a storage format, used somewhat similarly in a
system as HTML.
for example, if you're talking to a browser, spit out html.
if you're talking to an XML-RPC server, spit out XML
if you're talking to a cell phone, spit out WML, etc.
I disagree with the idea that using schema-defined files as a base, paired
with gobs and gobs of XSL is the groovy way to go.
anyway.

read:
SAX is fast as hell, and works really well for simple, not-very-nested xml
documents. it is event based:
Ohhhhh! A tag!
I'll call a function now to handle the fact that I have encountered a tag!
have a nice day!
DOM is the serious, bad-ass big brother of SAX that reads the DTD associated
with that document, and (usually) enforces all kinds of inconvenient rules
about form and correctness :) - it then takes the _entire_ document, and
turns it into a hierarchy (which is what an XML doc is).
I like dom too, but it has problems right now.
Also, most XML stuff I'm doing is _so_ simple (which is nice) that using SAX
is all that's really necessary.
once again, convenience reigns over correctness :)

That's a hard one to answer--I'll try anyway. I'm sorry if it sounds a
bit simple-minded but that's the sort of person I am ;-).
XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. It's an attempt by both large
corporations (notably Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM) as well as the standards
organizations (notable the W3C) to create a "lingua franca" for the web. A
lot of understanding it has first to have a slightly different perspective
of what we mean by "the internet" and "the web".
First when most people say "the internet" now, they pretty much mean
"the web" and e-mail. When people say "the web" they mean HTTP and HTML
(with a little SSL thrown in for e-commerce). HTTP is the transport protocol
(how it is delivered) and HTML is the markup language (the message). XML
attempts to replace and supersede HTML without saying anything about HTTP
(though one can assume that most of the delivery will be done via HTTP, much
to the chagrin of many security administrators who depend on firewalls).
XML is a markup language like HTML. Unlike HTML, the markup language is
extensible (basically think of it as saying you can define your own tags and
attributes). This means you can make descriptive tags such as
<book type="paperback"><AUTHOR>Joe Blogs</AUTHOR><TITLE>SATs - How to be
beaten by the system</TITLE><SUBJECT>Test preparation</SUBJECT></book>
Which looks a lot like HTML but isn't. Interestingly, the tags are
descriptive of the content which beats the hell out of UN/EDIFACT if you've
ever had to do any work for big business. Other differences are the rules
are more rigid than HTML: all tags must close, all attributes must be
quoted, all reserved characters must be escaped properly, all tags and
attributes are case sensitive. The default format for display is double byte
encoded characters (UTF-16 / UNICODE) (Note: The default used by PHP seems
to be UTF-8 so you should change it to that charset in the XML directives
line).-
So basically what you have when you are done is a text based
hierarchical data structure that's extensible and machine readable. That's
all XML is.
Now the things you can do with it. Obviously for one I can use this to
serialize objects in PHP very easily since I can store objects in XML
representation which is just a string to be saved. The WDDX module does that
in some standard way.
A note about standards. Since XML is extensible, there is a need to be
specified so that I can communicate with you and we understand each other.
XML is really more like a markup language FORMAT than a language (or seen
another way, it's a standard but not a specification). There are various
specifications and attempts at specifications out there and are usually
referred to as DTDs, Document Type Definitions, or Schema. It used to be you
specified your Schema in another markup language called SGML but then some
people figured if XML is so extensible you should be able to specify your
own Schema in an Schema language which itself is XML. This is known, not
surprisingly, as XML Schema. Which represents another thing you can do with
XML: Use XML to specify XML data formats.
A useful one for web programmers right now is you can use XML to turn
XML into other XML formats. This is done through XSL-T (eXtensible
Stylesheet Language - Transform) which is built into a PHP module called
Sablotron (Side Note: I couldn't compile Sablotron 0.50 in PHP yet, it
failes during the linking step in Apache and claims that it can't find some
library that is in Expat). Sablotron (and many XML-T parsers) is a little
robust in that you can use it to transform it into HTML and text too. This
warrants a bit larger description...
Basically XSL works by taking an input XML file (we'll call this the
"data store") and using another XML file written using the XSL specification
(we'll call this the "rules file") to create another file in a different XML
format (we'll all this the "presentation file"). Obviously when the
presentation file is in XML, we can chain another rules file to it to make
another presentation file and so on. XSLT parsers such as Sablotron allow us
to do just that. Why is this powerful? The best way is through examples
(1) Our company builds a search engine that goes out and does a
real-time travel comparison engine of 25 separate travel websites. Given
that each search does this, we offload this to a business rules server that
creates this and returns the results. Because we add sites and features
almost at will, this messaging standard had to be extensible. The webserver
has to communicate with this business rules server and understand it. A
stylesheet can ensure that the message that gets sent to the web server is
always in line with what the webserver can understand even if we upgrade our
features on the business rules server.
(2) Furthermore, we have some nasty internal business rules embeded in
our XML data store on the business rules server. An XSLT filter allows us to
remove these internal business rules before delivery. This makes our
business objects resellable to third parties as an application service
without compromising our internal ones and requiring much coding. we can use
the same XML data store to store private and public information.
(3) The webserver itself needs to parse and deliver the data. That data
may vary on our site vs. a cobranded site. With XSLT you can transform XML
on the fly to XHTML (a superset of HTML) and tack on your presentation layer
(nice little font tags and setting the color and whatnot). A different XSLT
for a different browser or cobrand, yet the same datastore for all of them.
This is called "separating your presentation from your data". Microsoft
calls this 3-tiering, n-tiering, DNA, NetDocs, and now dotNet. (Well some of
the later ones are a bit more than just 3-tiering, but the basic idea is in
tact).
Well I hope you get the idea. I'm sure you can thing of other things
such as...

mktime() can be used for this. 0 is from 1970. Negative values are used
for dates prior.
Chris
$date = 30/12/1956;
$month = Array(1=>'Jan', 2=>'Feb', .... 12->'Dec');

how can I make php work with this now!?
Serge -
I have the same setup as you do and my install time was 10 minutes
including Interbase 6.0. What I did is a little different than some:
I have two directories off of my root on my WIN 2K computer:
c:\php_active
c:\php404
I unzip the latest PHP (4.0.4) into php404 making sure I keep the
directories. Then I move from the sapi and dlls directories the files I
need into c:\php404. This is just for convenience. The files I have
include php4isapi.dll, php_gd.dll, and php_interbase.dll.
I then copy all of the contents to c:\php_active. If I update to a
newer version of PHP, I can move the contents into the same directory
and not have to change anything else.
The only change in the php.ini file (it goes in system32) is
[mail function]
SMTP = 192.168.0.1 ;for win32 only
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;for win32 only
include_path = .;c:\php_active\
extension_dir = c:\php_active\
In the IIS (5.0) I add ".php" to the application mappings
(c:\php_active\php4isapi.dll) in the Home Directory tab *and* in the
ISAPI Filters. Stop and Start IIS and you should be up and running.
Let me know if this helps....

portability to other platform = search-replace OCIwhatever to mysqlwhatever.

Yeah. Since i learnt pure HTML code, and having seen what a *clean* code
generates M$ frontpage, i decided not to work with *any* visual web page
generator.
Perhaps i'm extrapolating, but i did it it way, and now it could be hard for

Well, it's my style right now, and that way i'm going well. Perhaps i'll
change with time, but...
Hello,
I want to show a list of images ( but in a small size - should I use ImageCopyResized
? how ? ), existed in a directory ( they are uploaded to dir, and the name of each
image is also inserted into a DataBase ), with a link to the respective image and real
size. To work with images ( I think its the only way... ) I declare a Header telling
that the content is an image, but the kind of image can be different (*.jpeg,*.png,
*.gif, ...), so ( I think ...) should I have a different Headders ? My other problem
is to show the small copied images in a page that already have other information(ex:
the name of the user, for that I'm using sessions), so can I do it, is it possible ?
Thanks

That's what databases are for. Store the image data and the image mimetype
when the image is uploaded.

If you are going to do a comparison from one of the fields in your table,
doesn't the field name need to be on the left hand side of the comparison?
So instead of "where '$zip1' >= zip", shouldn't it be "zip < '$zip1'" (et al
for the other comparisons in your query) .

Didn't matter. Is there a trick for using concat or substring or any string
functions in a mysql query that is sent by php??
Have you tried adding
or die(mysql_error())
to try and let mysql tell you what's wrong? That and the
previously-suggested echo-ing the SQL statement solve most of my problems.

How can I strip everything past a certain character in a string?
i.e.:
$foo = "test.gif";
// strip past the .gif
$foo = "test";
// again
$foo2 = "test.jpeg";
// strip past the .jpeg
$foo2 = "test";
Tait
You may want to try exploding on the ".":
$fooPieces = explode($foo, ".");
That way everything before the dot, is in the first piece of the array and
everything after is in the second part of the array. However this may cause
issues if filenames will contain dots. But if you follow an 8.3 or 8.4
character filename structure you will be fine.

Is there a way to:
1. Set cookies to a particular value (e.g., foo=hi and bar=ho), AND
2. Redirect the user to a new page in a different directory? AND
3. have the new page be able to retrieve the values of both foo and bar?
I'm redirecting users from an index.htm page to an index.php page (because
our server is not set up to have index.php as a default page), and trying to
set cookies on the index.php page prior to redirecting the user to an
index.htm page in an entirely different directory (why? because for some
reason I thought it would streamline one of our processes). However, the
cookies simply don't get set; a document.write command on the second
index.html page shows that the value of the cookies is null.
The value of the cookies are determined by the results of a query run
against a MySQL directory, so they cannot be set on the first index.html
page.
I have been struggling with this conundrum for three days at this point,
with no success. Let me know if this doesn't make sense.

No, 1. and 2. can not be done in the same request reliably. Some browsers
can handle it, others can't.
-Rasmus
will this not work...
if (($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["foo"] != 'bar') && ($HTTP_GET_VARS["set"] !=
true)) {
SetCookie("foo", "bar");
header("Location: $PHP_SELF?set=true");
}
at the top of the page. or is this what is unreliable on some browsers?

Some browsers just can't handle a redirect and a set-cookie header in the
same request. How you get PHP to generate these headers is irrelevant.
-Rasmus
The thing that usually intrigues me is why people design their application
so that it needs to redirect to another page just so that they can attempt
to read the cookie back. Do they not already have the value of the cookie in
order to be able to set it? Why attempt to read it back straight away?
jason
> Some browsers just can't handle a redirect and a set-cookie header in the

>
> -Rasmus
In this case, the value of the cookie is pulled from a database; the
specific value depends on the URL at the user is redirecting from. If the
user comes from
www.domain.com/minisite1/index.htm
then when they're directed to www.domain.com/index.htm, they should see
"Welcome from minisite1"; but if they come from
www.domain.com/minisite2/index.htm
they should see "Welcome from minisite2" when they're redirected to
www.domain.com/index.htm.
it's a bit more complicated than that, but that's the general idea.
Hope that helps.

Any reason you don't include the contents of /index.htm into
/ministe1/index.htm with the appropriate welcome message instead of
redirecting, or even pass the site name in the query string of the Location:
URL if you're not wanting to rely on http_referer?

The first approach is actually what we do now. However, since /index.htm is
a dynamic page which changes frequently, we don't want to have to try to
echo all of those changes into all of the /minisite directories (of which
there are well over 100) every single time a change occurs. We're going to
try the second approach now, but we still are going to try to build the
query string of the Location: header based on values retrieved from a MySQL
database.

I hope you don't mind me nagging on this ;) but what do you mean by having
to echo changes into the /minisite directories?
What I meant was, from minisite45/index.htm, include() the same content
include file you use in /index.htm. I'm not seeing why the
/minisite<x>/index.htm pages need to change at all? The only thing that
would change is the content of the include()'d file that /index.htm, and the
minisite/index<x>.htm include.
/index.htm
<html>
<etc etc>
<body...>
<? include "main_include.inc"; ?>
</body>
</html>
main_include.inc:
<some possible html tags>
<? echo "Welcome". ($minisite ? " from $minisite" : "."); ?>
<some possible html tags>
/minisite45/index.htm
<html stuff>
<?
$minisite = 45; /* or even a snip that dynamically gets it from the
script_name */
include "main_include.inc";
?>

The problem is that the main page doesn't use an include file of any sort;
it's straight HTML which is frequently updated by hand. I agree that it
would be nice if /index.htm had an include file that contained most of the
content, and if I could convince my boss that it would be the best way to
go, then I'd be set. :) Unfortunately, that's not the route that we've
chosen to go (in fact, I'm still at the stage where I'm trying to convince
people around here that PHP is a much better way to go than straight HTML
for some of these documents). So, if I were using an include file to build
/index.htm, then I would use it in microsite45/index.htm. But since I'm
not, I can't. I've got permission to use document.write in /index.htm, so I
was looking for a solution which would allow /index.htm to remain nothhing
but static HTML (with the exception of some JavaScript).

I hope you don't mind me nagging on this ;) but what do you mean by having
to echo changes into the /minisite directories?
What I meant was, from minisite45/index.htm, include() the same content
include file you use in /index.htm. I'm not seeing why the
/minisite<x>/index.htm pages need to change at all? The only thing that
would change is the content of the include()'d file that /index.htm, and the
minisite/index<x>.htm include.
/index.htm
<html>
<etc etc>
<body...>
<? include "main_include.inc"; ?>
</body>
</html>
main_include.inc:
<some possible html tags>
<? echo "Welcome". ($minisite ? " from $minisite" : "."); ?>
<some possible html tags>
/minisite45/index.htm
<html stuff>
<?
$minisite = 45; /* or even a snip that dynamically gets it from the
script_name */
include "main_include.inc";
?>

With due respect to your boss, PHP would make the site *more* compatible with
people's browsers, without having to worry about which version(s) of javascript
people have, or in fact if they even have it available. I'd pitch the
accessibility angle, in your shoes, if nothing else.
Good luck.

Hi, althout i KNOW this is not a technicall issue(wait keep on reading,
this's not a commercial or multilevel chain),and as a newcomer for the PHP
community, I would appreciate to take a look to the following site:
www.terremotoenelsalvador.bigstep.com
Wich means earthquake in el salvador, I would like to ask you is there is
a way you could some how help the victims. I wanted to create a site more
dinamic yet I just have 2 weeks of starring to learn PHP, apache and
mysql.(Kind of a new year resolution very special coming from an AS/400
developer).
Well enough now you can erase the message. Thanks for your attention and I
hope something could be done.
May God Bless you
This couldn't have been a 3-4 issue, because it was working in 4, either 4.0.1
or 4.0.2. I was just informed that we went from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4 when moving to
RH7, so that might have done it, but it was working reliably (for us) in 4.0.x
before the latest.
:(
anyway, fixed now.

I see that you got a lot of responses, but I didn't see anyone using
what I use. I had problems using rand() because it wasn't quite random
enough. The following code is as random as you can get (at least from
what I've seen).
mt_srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);
$myrandomnumber = mt_rand($min_number, $max_number);
... may be I have use a wrong subject, but I can't think a more suitable one
sorry first!
say, I have a function like this
function foo()
{
babababa...
/*at this point, I want to output a lot of html, can I use a ':' to escape
from there?*/
/*I know I can do this is a if construct or for... construct, but I can't do
this at this point*/
/*is there any way for me to do the similar thing?*/
}
And I have one more question, what is the meaning of 'or'?
e.g.
$db=mysql_connect("localhost","root","password") or die ("could not
connect");
> say, I have a function like this
> function foo()
> {
> babababa...;
> /*at this point, I want to output a lot of html, can I use a ':' to escape
> from there?*/
echo '<html>';
echo '<title>chris is great</title>';
return; // would just stop the function
OR if you want to call the function from elsewhere like this : echo foo();
or $string=foo();
function foo(){
$html_construct='<html>';
$html_construct.='<title>chris is great</title>';
return $html_construct;
}
/*I know I can do this is a if construct or for... construct,
> but I can't do this at this point*/ /*is there any way for me to do the

not sure about your question. The manual will give escapes for for example
switchs parts (break;) and others. See manual part II.11 Control structures.
> And I have one more question, what is the meaning of 'or'?
> e.g.

In case the command before 'or; fails do what is after 'or'.
So if you connect succesfully the script continues, if something goes wrong
(wrong password, server down etc etc) the script does
die ('bla')
this means the script stops and the browsers shows 'bla'.
(except when you'r in the middle of building a page and the text is
invisible due to its location in the HTML, for example when a table is
opened before in Netscape but not closed yet.

As long as you have it inside braces you're okay:
<?php
function foo()
{
?>
<p>I am now inside function foo()...</p>
<?php
}
?>

It evaluates the left operand, and if false evaluates the right operand and
returns that, otherwise returns the result of the left. The above usage is
basically a cheat-type shortcut for:
if (!($db=mysql_connect("localhost","root","password")))
die ("could not connect");

One more thing, which is important to me as a newbie (as I most certainly
am), you can make a custom error message for the die error; which is
important to me seeing as it happens a lot ;)
if you want to see what the error is (for use with MySQL), use
or die (mysql_error());
or use a message which will display nicely to users, if you're re-writing
something which is already online and in use (not recommended).
$error = "<html>\n<head>\n<title>We encountered an
error!</title>\n</head>\n\n";
$error .= "<body bgcolor=\"hex value\" text=\"hex value\">\n";
$error .= "We encountered an error! Please go back to our <a
href=\"http://www.site.com\">site</a>!\n\n";
$error .= "</body>\n";
$error .= "</html>";
Then, you would use something like:
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password")
or die ($error);
If this is blatantly obvious to you, please ignore it, but at one time not
too long ago, it was helpful to me. There's probably a lot neater way of
doing things too ;)
James.
function foo()
{
bla bla bla...
echo 'whatever...';
// that should output it whenever the function is called...
// need an if? then... just put an if in here ...
return $any bla bla;
}
or means ||
so
if($name=='Max' or $name=='Maxim')
is equal to
if($name=='Max' || $name=='Maxim')
this is quite useful for usability purposes...
Cheers,
Maxim Maletsky

PHP automatically makes values submitted in a form available to the next
page. aka:
form.htm would be:
<form action="php.php">
<input type="text" name="Field" value="Field Value">
<input type="submit">
</form>
and then in php.php the variable $Field would hold "Field Value" wihtout you
having to do anything.
So, if php.php were:
<?
echo "Field: $Field"
?>
would print Field: Field Value
And I might have done that wrong, I've been doing stuff in ASP the last two
weeks and I can't seem to keep them straight anymore.

Absolutely. Worse; it is already done for you!
If you give the input box a name, and submit to a php page, the php page
contains a variable with that name!
If the name is 'textbox3' the variable will be called $textbox3.
Be careful though; if the variable is not filled in in the form it may not
exist. So better test that:
if isset($textbox3) echo $textbox3;
There's a lot more to forms and variables. In every other tutorial i guess.

It's more trouble that it's worth. AOL isn't the only one using
load balancing proxies... there could be hundreds.

in my database, all entries have a timestamp.... I need a way to brake the
entries up and sort the entries:
by year
by month according to year
by day according to the month
and preferably by hour according to the day...
How do I do this? Are there functions floating around the net that will do
this?
thanks.
See the mysql manual - there's a section that deals with date/time functions
already built into mysq that work perfectly with timestamps

Hello All,
I have been using PHP4 with mysql-3.23.29a-gamma-dec-osf4.0f-alphaev6
running on a machine running Digital UNIX V4.0F. Since upgrading the
database from 3.22 to 3.23, auto-increment fields have been acting
strangely.
A brief description of the table looks like:
+--------------------+-----------------------+------+-----+--------------------------------+----------------+---------------------------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key |Default | Extra
+--------------------+-----------------------+------+-----+--------------------------------+----------------+---------------------------------+
| scientist_pk | mediumint(8) unsigned | | PRI | NULL | auto_increment
.
.
.
At the moment, the largest scientist_pk in the database is 254:
mysql> select login,passwd,scientist_pk from users order by scientist_pk desc limit 1;
+----------+------------------+--------------+
| login | passwd | scientist_pk |
+----------+------------------+--------------+
| jimbo | 18ac6f1d2a33923d | 254 |
However, if I do an insert, the next scientist_pk should be 255, but is
instead BIG (i.e. 65548).
mysql> INSERT INTO users (login,passwd) VALUES ("fred" , PASSWORD("bob"));
mysql> select login,passwd,scientist_pk from users order by scientist_pk desc limit 1;
+----------+------------------+--------------+
| login | passwd | scientist_pk |
+----------+------------------+--------------+
| fred | 7d67547927a4589e | 65548 |
I don't know if this helps, but if I insert one more time:
mysql> select login,passwd,scientist_pk from users order by scientist_pk desc limit 10;
+----------+------------------+--------------+
| login | passwd | scientist_pk |
+----------+------------------+--------------+
| fred | 7d67547927a4589e | 65549 |
| fred | 7d67547927a4589e | 65548 |
Strange, huh? It just seems to like jumping to 65548, which makes zippo
sense since the unsigned range is 0 to 16777215 for a mediumint.
Has anyone seen this before and know how to fix it?!
Thanks much,
Parag M
I'm using a pretty simple linking system for a subscription-based
newsletter site.
Stories and articles are in straight html files, reached by links from the
front page. Clicking on a link passes a story number. So the second story
on the index page would have this link: <A HREF="./story.php?storynum=2">
and story.php consists of just these lines:
<? include "auth.inc" ;
include "header.inc" ;
include $storynum.".htm" ;
include "footer.inc" ;
?>
If someone comes in the "right way", through the index page, they will have
to be authenticated, then the header, article and page footer are displayed.
There's nothing, however, to stop someone from typing an URL like this:
http://www.somepub.ca/2.htm and seeing the article. I assume they could
also come in that way via a search engine.
Any suggestions on how to stop that? Resources I should look at? I do want
to keep the stories in straight html as the editor is struggling now with
basic layout, etc.
Regards - Miles Thompson
Miles,
If you can save 2.htm as 2.php, use some authentication code.
Story.php becomes
<?
include "auth.inc";
include "header.inc";
include $storynum.".php";
include "footer.inc";
?>
Inside X.php, you have some authentication code. Maybe something simple as:
<?
if ($valid) {
// redirect to story.php?storynum=X
}
// rest of article follows
?>
Inside story.php, set $valid to true
<?
$valid = TRUE;
?>
Now accessing 2.php directly means that $valid is valid and you'll be
redirected to story.php.
Another option is to place all stories x.php into a story directory and
restrict access to this directory using Apache configuration directives.

Yes I'm using $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW. But I can only check for
those within a script, not in a straight HTML page. (Although I suppose I
could change all the page extensions to .php and put a check for these
var's at the very top and redirect to the login script if they are not
present.)
Alternately, I suppose I could create a session ID, following a successful
login. I really don't want to invoke .htaccess.

A dummy idea:
in story.php you put a key in:
<? include "auth.inc" ;
include "header.inc" ;
unset($key);
$key = 'BHEKFBSA"IjsjbdshlycgewypH:*:YEWCnbms';
include $storynum.".htm" ;
include "footer.inc" ;
?>
then key.php will have this:
if($key != 'BHEKFBSA"IjsjbdshlycgewypH:*:YEWCnbms';) Exit;
then in every file you wish to protect include key.php and the articles will
show up only in case it was included, or someone knew what to type in the
URL...
another idea, might not be suitable for you, but would be much smarter:
is to pass-protect the directory with articles (it HAS to be a different
directory from the story.php)
the article will then be still shown under the password or when only
included by PHP...
there's a whole bunch of ways to do what you're asking ...
Cheers,
Maxim Maletsky ..

Subject: [PHP] How to keep unauthorized viewers out
I'm using a pretty simple linking system for a subscription-based
newsletter site.
Stories and articles are in straight html files, reached by links from the
front page. Clicking on a link passes a story number. So the second story
on the index page would have this link: <A HREF="./story.php?storynum=2">
and story.php consists of just these lines:
<? include "auth.inc" ;
include "header.inc" ;
include $storynum.".htm" ;
include "footer.inc" ;
?>
If someone comes in the "right way", through the index page, they will have
to be authenticated, then the header, article and page footer are displayed.
There's nothing, however, to stop someone from typing an URL like this:
http://www.somepub.ca/2.htm and seeing the article. I assume they could
also come in that way via a search engine.
Any suggestions on how to stop that? Resources I should look at? I do want
to keep the stories in straight html as the editor is struggling now with
basic layout, etc.

Yes, I know this sounds crazy, but think about it.
I've often pondered the feasibility of using PHP as a MUD engine. While it
would probably not run nearly as fast as something implemented in C/C++, it
would have a lot of flexibility:
- Changes to the common code wouldn't neccessarily have to require a restart
of the MUD engine but could be implemented on-the-fly.
- Rooms, characters, items, etc. could use all the power of PHP's scripting
language. This means you can a complex scripting language for them.
- We get PHP's flexibility with dealing with strings, etc.
- We don't have to worry about malloc() and free() in C -- less potential
memory leaks.
The biggest issue would be maintaining security, as using PHP to handle room
scripts means that anyone who builds for the MUD would be able to run PHP
code on the server. You can only imagine what would happen if someone put an
exit; in their script, or if the script had errors in syntax.
I personally don't yet have the time to undertake such a project (I'm
working on the Venura Message Board (= a message board & user/character
database driven in PHP, intended for use for freeform roleplaying games that
are run via a message board system -- see
http://dewin.oldbattery.com/venura/ )), but I am interested to see what
people think.

Well as using a script language to make a MUD engine, I had both played
and made one a couple of years ago (well it's about 10 years). They ran on
IBM mainframes using REXX over the late BITNET :)
As using PHP to do this you had the strenght to use their DB support and
use SQL to implement lots of thinks!
Well... take a look at this site: www.astronest.com it isn't a MUD and I
didn't know if it is made with PHP, but it's an online game that run on
HTML :)

Hello
I am doing a job for a client who has a host that just installed php4 on a
WinNT system. He can not get the mail program to work properly.
The server that php is on and the mail server are different computers. He,
the host, asked me to try and by-pass the the mail utility and send directly
to the mail server. He gave me the ip address. Is it possible? If so how?
Thanks
Todd
Whenever I try to connect with ANY Mysql code on my cpu, I get an error saying it
can't connect. I installed usingthe 4.04 win32 installer(heresey I know) which has
mysql built in. Do I have to edit anything to all me to try the scripts on my personal
cpu?
Hi
Start a DOS session and cd to the location of the mysql\bin
directory; (maybe c:\mysql\bin?)
type in:
mysqld
exit
This will start mysql and exit from the DOS window
You can access mysql as user ODBC or as root each one with no password
If you want to set up users, do the above but type mysql -u root instead to
login as root. Then USE mysql; to get the mysql database, and do a GRANT SQL
statement.
You can also do the database access through Winmysql or one of the other Windows
MYSQL GUI's

Hi,
Lets say I have columns e.g.
| name | address | phone |
I want to make a list of all the names and put the result into a HTML page
where each name is a link.
When the name is clicked (the link), it will open another HTML page with
full information (name, address and phone).
I know how to send the query to list the names (and into a formatted
HTML-file), but I don't know how to put each name into a variable or a link
for the next step.
Can you point me to functions I should focus at or even a solution?

You have to give the table a key field (autoincrement primary) that you can

Hi.
FrontPage sucks for working with PHP.
I've been doing all my coding by hand and that's fine as far as it goes but I just got
a promotion at work where everyone uses FrontPage so I bought it to see how I can use
it to show these old dogs some new tricks.
Nice program. Allows for workgroups where different people can work on different parts
of a project. That'll come in handy. It also has some nice tree charts to show you
where the project is branching out and generates some useful reports like where the
dead links are.
What I *really* liked about it was the ability to apply a common theme across all my
pages. Man, that was pretty cool. Plus, let's face it, using an HTML editor really
takes some of the drudgery out of designing your pages.
The problem is, if the web page that is designed with FrontPage doesn't end with a
regularly accepted filename extension like *.htm, FrontPage doesn't seem to really
know how to handle it and I need it to handle pages that end with *.php.
What are my options? I don't think I missed anything with FrontPage after scouring the
manual and online and inline help pages.
Anyone out there using an HTML editor that they'd like to recommend? Why? Are there
any FAQs I should be reading for this answer?
Maybe I should just use a style sheet for a common look and for the rest, suck it up
and take it like a man?

Hey,
To get Frontpage to recognize PHP files (at least to let you edit them), do
the following (I'm assuming FP2000):
1 - Open FP
2 - Click on Tools
3 - Click on Options
4 - Click on the Configure Editors tab
5 - Hit Add
6 - Make file type "php"
7 - Make editor name "FrontPage"
8 - Make command "frontpg.exe"
9 - Hit ok
10 - It should work :D

Hi
FrontPage is a piece of garbage...try DreamWeaver....you won't be
disappointed. It is available from Macromedia and does not munge your code
like FrontPage does!

There is a much easier and simpler way to handle Frontpage and PHP than this ..
1 - Open Control Panel
2 - Open Add/Remove Programs
3 - Click on Frontpage 2000
4 - Click on Uninstall
5 - Uninstall
6 - Click on Start
7 - Click on Run
8 - Type 'Notepad'
9 - Press Enter
10 - It DOES work :)
A much more realistic windows solution in half the time (and about a
thousandth of the HD space :) You can add in a Step 11 if needed which is
to Slap yourself over the wrist 5 times for wanting to use Frontpage in the
first place.

Hi, Chris.
Really, thanks for the suggestion. I'm with you 100% and approached this
product with a TON of trepidation. I knew I was looking at a host service
that had to have something called "FrontPage extensions" installed and read
the online manual for the server I chose where they said I could easily
corrupt these extensions and that there'd be a fee to rebuild them.
Yes, I truly love open-source because of the support from folks like you and
others and because of the flexibility across a wide variety of platforms.
But, let's face it, if you have a new job and the whole corporation is using
FrontPage, you can't change their thinking until you've mastered their own
art and then shown them some tricks that simply can't be done with what
they're using.
This is where I am now. I taught myself PHP and MySQL so well that I was
able to impress people working in an entirely different field than where I
am now. Heck, I'm just a customer service rep, for crying out loud! I'm now
poised to make the big bucks like you all!
Now, to be smart about this, I have to infiltrate. I have to weasel. I have
to beg for some cool software. But before I can gain credibility, I have to
use what they're using now and that's FrontPage, believe it or not.
So, bottom line? Thanks for bearing with me and thanks to those who help me
meld the open-source PHP with products that aren't quite designed to handle
it because of their vested interests. THIS is where the value is for groups
like this and folks like you and I thank you so very much.
Yours,
Murph
As my "learn PHP" project, I'm setting up a version of my site to
use it. So far, so good. I'm working on a relational system to
handle what sections of my site go where in a hierarchy.
I'm able to add new rows to a table that relates categories to kinds
of content. That works fine, but my next step is what's confusing
me. I'm displaying the current subcategories ("flavors") as
checkboxes in a form. If they're selected, then they get passed to
the next step and added to the relations table. What I'd like to do,
though, is have a checkbox already checked if there's an existing
relation for it.
My first thought is taking the array of existing flavors and compare
that array to the array of flavors that are children of the current
parent category. Array_intersect would seem to be perfect for this,
but it's PHP4 only, right? (I'm also open to the possibility that
I'm approaching this in entirely the wrong way, so any contributions
are welcome.)
Here's my existing code:
$childquery = "select * from flavors order by flavor";
$childtype = "flavor";
$childresult = mysql_query($childquery) or die(mysql_error());
//childresult behaves as expected
$relationsquery = "select * from relations where
childtype='$childtype' and parenttype='$parenttype' and
parentsku='$parentsku'";
$relationsresult = mysql_query($relationsquery) or die(mysql_error());
/* relationsresult is the other array I think I need; but I don't
know what to do with it */
?>
form code goes in here, snipped for space/relevance
<?php
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($childresult)) {
printf("<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"childsku[]\"
value=\"%s\">%s<br>\n", $row["flavorsku"], $row["flavor"]);
}
Any ideas/thoughts or pointers to appropriate tutorials would be most
helpful. Thanks!

I built an e-commerce application using PHP4 session management. I store all
data in an array, $SESSION, which I register with the session. Most of the
time, $SESSION is restored as expected on the loading of a new page. Every
now and then, however, $SESSION is restored as a boolean variable with value
0. All of the contents of the original array are, of course, lost. Have I
encountered a known problem? I attempted to circumvent the issue by writing
my own session management logic the implementation of which follows:
I store a serialized representation of the array $SESSION with serialize()
in a MySQL database indexed by the session id. On a page load, I query the
database and unserialize the data with unserialize() and thus, $SESSION is
restored. At the end of the page, I serialize $SESSION again and write it to
the database.
I ultimately experienced the same problem with my code where $SESSION was
indiscriminately set to a boolean of value 0. This error is not reproducible
in any predictable way. In my custom session management, I was however able
to implement debugging logic that provides the following information:
PHP is faithfully retrieving the serialized session data from the MySQL
database. The unserialize() function seems to be the problem. Every so
often, it results in the boolean variable despite the fact that the
serialized data it operates on represents an array. For example, I
determined from my debugging log (physical data has been altered for
privacy):
1. raw data extracted from database and stored into $rawData:
a:2:{s:4:"USER";a:15:{s:8:"loggedIn";i:1;s:7:"user_id";s:1:"1";s:5:"admin";s
:3:"Yes";s:10:"contact_id";s:1:"1";s:5:"first";s:4:"John";s:4:"last";s:3:"Do
e";s:7:"company";s:3:"ABC";s:6:"street";s:18:"#### XXXXXX
Avenue";s:4:"city";s:11:"Los
Angeles";s:5:"state";s:1:"5";s:7:"zipcode";s:5:"######";s:7:"country";s:13:"
United States";s:5:"phone";s:14:"(323)
555-5555";s:3:"fax";s:0:"";s:5:"email";s:13:"[EMAIL PROTECTED]";}s:7:"CONTACT";a
:1:{i:1;a:11:{s:5:"first";s:4:"John";s:4:"last";s:3:"Doe";s:7:"company";s:3:
"ABC";s:6:"street";s:18:"#### XXXXXXX Avenue";s:4:"city";s:11:"Los
Angeles";s:5:"state";s:1:"5";s:7:"zipcode";s:5:"#####";s:7:"country";s:13:"U
nited States";s:5:"phone";s:14:"(323)
555-5555";s:3:"fax";s:0:"";s:5:"email";s:13:"[EMAIL PROTECTED]";}}}
2. then raw data is unserialized into session variable
$SESSION=unserialize($rawData)
3. session variable is immediately typed with gettype($SESSION) and it's a
boolean
As I said before, this happens only irregularly. Most of the time, gettype()
properly determines $SESSION is an array which, when examined, contains the
unserialized data from the database. Every now and then, though, it's a
boolean with a value of 0. So I guess my first question is does anyone know
what is going on here? Second, does native PHP4 session management use the
unserialize() function. And third, is unserialize() broken?

Hi,
I use Macromedia Dreamweaver 4 - it's the best ever for HTML and others. It
recognizes the PHP extension and checks for syntax errors though it doesn't
check for errors in the PHP-languages.

Subject: [PHP] I love/hate FrontPage - need another HTML editor.
Hi.
FrontPage sucks for working with PHP.
I've been doing all my coding by hand and that's fine as far as it goes but
I just got a promotion at work where everyone uses FrontPage so I bought it
to see how I can use it to show these old dogs some new tricks.
Nice program. Allows for workgroups where different people can work on
different parts of a project. That'll come in handy. It also has some nice
tree charts to show you where the project is branching out and generates
some useful reports like where the dead links are.
What I *really* liked about it was the ability to apply a common theme
across all my pages. Man, that was pretty cool. Plus, let's face it, using
an HTML editor really takes some of the drudgery out of designing your
pages.
The problem is, if the web page that is designed with FrontPage doesn't end
with a regularly accepted filename extension like *.htm, FrontPage doesn't
seem to really know how to handle it and I need it to handle pages that end
with *.php.
What are my options? I don't think I missed anything with FrontPage after
scouring the manual and online and inline help pages.
Anyone out there using an HTML editor that they'd like to recommend? Why?
Are there any FAQs I should be reading for this answer?
Maybe I should just use a style sheet for a common look and for the rest,
suck it up and take it like a man?
Yours,
Murph

It seems like there's an awful lot of people jumping on the Macromedia
editor bandwagon and after visiting their site, I can see why! Holy smoke!
There's an awful lot there to recommend that product.
My thanks to Kath for helping me get FrontPage up and running for my
immediate needs and to everyone else who recommended their favorite editor.
Dreamweaver is on the pricey side at $300 bucks for their basic version but
to buy the editor AND have access to the flashy Flash technology for a few
more bucks really makes it rather attractive.
Has anyone gone whole-hog and developed a site with Flash graphics AND a
database? THAT would be something to see. Hell, I'd pimp my mother to be
able to do something like THAT!
Only kidding, Mom! I love you!
Yours,
Murph
Thanks! Tell me though, what does the following mean or should I ask how
does it work?
$row->user_id;
Is it somehow relate to the following?
$row["user_id"];
I tried to look for this in the manual but without any luck... perhaps I'm
going blind ;)

Hi,
Lets say I have columns e.g.

I want to make a list of all the names and put the result into a HTML page
where each name is a link.
When the name is clicked (the link), it will open another HTML page with

I know how to send the query to list the names (and into a formatted

for the next step.
Can you point me to functions I should focus at or even a solution?

When you use mysql_fetch_object(), you get back an object. $object->property
access a field.
When you use mysql_fetch_array(), you get back an array. $array[index]
access the same field.
If you'd like, replace mysql_fetch_object with mysql_fetch_array, and use
the syntax $row["user_id"]. Either one will work.
It should be in the manual under www.php.net/mysql

Hi, recently I was given the task to create an
application to generate xml files in order to exchange
data.
Since my knowleadge of xml is close to zero :) I also
received an english text explaining the DTD and an
example of how the file should be written.
So I got to a point where I simply should create a php
script to access my databases and output the data in
the requested format, right ?
Well close but not quite. I am supposed to parse the
file with the DTD in order to validade it.
This seems to be the place where I got lost. So how
exactly (with php or perhaps another tool) can do this
?
Thanks.
PS. If possible send me some urls with a tutorial of
XML so my next questions wont be so basic ;)
