Up until PHP 4.0.5 gettimeofday under windows is unreliable as a timing
mechanism although this has now been fixed. Before PHP 4.0.5 PHP does return
some sort of contrived usec value for the time, after PHP 4.0.5 it will
return a value accurate to the nearest millisecond rather than microsecond.
This should not really affect the randomness of the function that much and
the interface from the PHP end is identical (usec value will be milliseconds
not microseconds). I would suggest using somthing like
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$unique_id = md5(rand(0,32000));
which is very effective for creating unique id's.

Or use uniqid()

John,
part of this is a matter of taste - I would personally rather split this
into functions.
BUT: even if you _are_ using functions, you should only include() the
file with the function when you need it, IF this part of the code is
getting large. This way, php will not need to parse code that it won't
need anyway.

I'd go w/ functions. You can split the functions into as many files as
needed but I wouldn't embed their inclusions in a switch statement. I'm
not quite sure what you need the switch statement for so am assuming
it's part of your applications logic. I'd never write a program as one
giant clump of code. It should always be broken down into functions for
easy growth and porting. :)

I would use a combination of both,
Have all of your backend settings (including db info) in one include, and
all of your user customisable settings (if you have any) in another include
and finally another include for all your functions, so that any function is
aviable at anytime.
But this doesn't mean that you need to have three include() statements at
the top of your page. Simply make refference to require('settings.inc');
then in this settings.inc file maintain all of your other includes to files.
This way if you want to create another include, all you have to do is add it
to settings.inc and then it is inlcuded in everyfile that settings.inc is
included in!

The way I normally do it is I have ONE main include (usually init.inc)
and then all files that I might need throught my page I put in init.inc
I works nicely for me.

do you include EVERY file in init.inc even if that script doesn't use it? So
if you have a db.inc and it doesn't use the db at all...is it included?

Normally, yes. The chances of a page NOT accessing the db is slim at best. I
generally keep them there because the speed lost on parsing function
definitions is minute and I don't have to worry about including numerous
files in each page - or worse going through 100's of pages and adding an
include I need when I add new functionality!

Any particular reason you don't do something like:
$whatever="blah";
include($whatever);
This eliminates the need for potentially dozens of case/switch statements.
If you're interested, we're developing a more structured way of handling
this with classes, and I could demonstrate some of this to you and/or send
you
code examples.

Hi Joe,
the reason I changed to 'include on demand' was a rather large
application which would not work, as the memory limit that my isp had
set wouldn't suffice.
I have files that are included all the way, yes: DB connection, some
common helpers, etc. But I would not include files that the current
state of an application (or part of the site) does not need to keep
things small.
This is especially true for some classes which before included both user
access and 'admin' function (for, say, user authentication and
administration). I split all of these up into two classes, so that the
part that is accessed when a regular user hits the site is minimal, and
the administrative functions won't be loaded in that case.

Declaring the functions is minimal. Either your ISP has the memory allocations
set unbearably low or you aren't coding things very well ...

I haven't done this in PHP as PHP comes w/ XML support but times past
when I needed a fast way to parse something like that and knew the
format would be simple I'd usually do something like make a function
that knows all the possible splits w/in a layer (ie items are w/in the
faq layer if they can occur inside faq tags) and then just recursively
explode the string parts based on all know tags for that layer and build
a nested array or prehaps nested objects. That is probably the simplist
way if you don't want to mess w/ real parsing.
If you have Unix access you might see if you can use Perl or a helper
app to parse it into an easier to work w/ format.

I would like to know if there is a way to accomplish the following:
In my HTML file, I have the following:
<script language="php" src="/phpscript/testscript.php"></script>
In the testscript.php file, I have:
<?PHP
echo "Hello Don";
echo "What is up?";
?>
When I run the html file, I do not see the PHP code but if I place the
above code directly in my HTML file, it displays.
Hi Don,
This wont work as PHP is a server side scripting language. So by the time
your page gets displayed in a browser, php has already packed up and gone
home. It has done it's job and exited your page.
For your webserver to recognise php it must be incompessed in <?php ?> tags,
or <? ?>. This is so your webserver knows when to start up php (so to
speak).
Inserting the <script...> statement like you did is to late, because all of
the information has already be passed to the browser and php can't write any
more information to the page.
Hope this helps.

Don,
Why don't you just rename your .html file
to .php and use 'include' to call an external
php script.

you should use include() function instead of the javascript style includes
refer to the php manual for more details

Dos anybody has an idea how I can monitor uploads (Time, Size) and Downloads
to and From my server with PHP ?
Steve
take a look at the php file managers at hotscripts.com
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/File_Manipulation/
they might have the functionality that you are looking for. if not, it
should be easy enough to make the changes so as to support the desired
functionality.
hope that helps

Can someone point me to an url where I can read up and learn about how to be
sure my back-end admin scripts will all be secure? My site isn't even open
yet and I am already seeing access atempts to non-existant CGI scripts. A
good friend of mine says it looks like the pattern hackers use to try and
gain access. And i'm not even open yet! So I want to make SURE my PHP
back-end will be as secure as I can make it.

Hi Guys,
>From your experiences, please answer my questions relating to uploading
files.
Can you get php to upload an image if you have the direct location of the
file (ie. c:\bar\foo\bar\foobar.jpg), but the only thing is that I am not
getting this from a form file input with the ENCTYPE of the form set to
"multipart/form-data". I am getting the location from a string that is open
from a file.
Is it still possbile? Also, is there anyway around this??
Thanks

use a \n (newline character) in your string where you want the break.

There's a wordwrap() function--is that what you mean?

Yes.. the problem with the hidden method.. is the following.
Let says I use the string "Testing the \"waters\" "
Now.. if I do a <input type=hidden value="<?echo $var?>"> the qoutes in my
string do not escape correctly. So when you look at the source in
netscape.. it ends the string at \ ... just before the first qoute.
So.. is there any other way besides those two methods? Can I pass a object
through the URL?

The reason why I needed the RPM is because no matter what I tried, I
couldn't get PHP to compile for the Apache rpm on Redhat 7. If at all
possible, I like to use the rpms so that they can be easily updated.
I have done everything everyone has suggested, and I still get an error. I
have even compiled PHP and still I can't use PDFlib. What next?
Here is the updated config script that I used.
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc
--disable-debug --enable-pic --enable-shared
--enable-inline-optimization --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin --with-regex=system --with-gettext --with-gd

Here's the steps I would take:
ditch all those configure options except the ones needed to keep PDF
functions working.
Maybe even just ./configure --with-pdflib=/usr/local/lib, and test it
out as a stand alone exec.
If that fails, ditch the RPMs. Get the source for apache, php, pdflib,
and whatever else you need.
I have had problems in the past with RedHat's RPMs. They seem to put
things in weird places. And just removing them and starting fresh with
source always seems to work. Besides, once you have built from source
a few times, it's really a piece of cake, and much less frustrating
than screwing with RPMs.

Here are the directions I used to configure PHP with pdflib. These worked for
me.

I am in the same situation except I have compiled from all the sources (not
RPMS) and I still get hung up when I try to include PDF. My system is a
new install of RH 7 with the updates that up2date suggests (gcc, etc.). I
have compiled and installed PHP with PDF no problem on RH 6.2. I think the
issue is something specific to RH7. I hope RH 7.1 fixes it. I think at
this point I am going back to 6.2

Exactly!!! I have gone back and redone everything 3 or 4 times, and am on
day 3 of this. I watch while I configure, and it says that it is working,
but when I go to check. I still get an error.

Well, first let me say that I'm kind of surprised I'm the only one
trying to help you guys out. It seems not many folk are into PHP/PDF?
Any how,
Redhat's *.0 releases are known to be problematic. They are usually
pretty much bleading edge, meaning they're buggy.
The last time I compiled PHP with PDF support, was a few weeks ago. It
was on RedHat 6.2, PHP 4.0.2, and PDFLIB, as a CGI or a stand alone
executable. The config was pretty much ./configure
--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-pdf=/usr/local/bin (I really
think that was it, note I did NOT point right to the libpdf.so). I
also added /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and did a ldconfig.
That's really all I did. RH 6.2, source tarballs of Apache 1.3.12, PHP
4.0.2, pdflib 3.03, postgresql 7.0.2.
If everything configs/builds correctly, I would blame RH 7.0
While I would like to install RH 7.0 and figure out what's up, I just
don't have the time. I would suggest, A) you try to install PHP/PDF as
a CGI under your current install. This allows the simplest install.
If that doesn't work, try RH 6.2 or some other distro?
Good Luck,
Chris

I decided on my way home tonight to ditch 7.0 and go back to 6.2. I think
that it is the only way to get anything done. When 7.1 or later comes out
then I can go back. Thanks for your help.
When OS X finally ships I will be happy.

OS X? What's that? :) Damn Mac.... PPC somethin or other.... I just
don't get it..............
In the mean time, I'd say 6.2 is a good bet.
Good Luck,

I'm waiting on OS X also. (I'm running it now.) But I need to get a RH

OS X PB so you might try installing PDF on that (I haven't yet though).

Hi,
I've been using horde, IMP for a while with PHP4 pretty well, no problem at
all (uses PHPLIB for session and database storage).
But now I need to built some code and I'm using PHP4's native session
functions. The problem was that when coding I got an error related with
PHPLIB's session object. So, I took the prepend file out of the autoprepend
line in php.ini, and my code started working.
The problem is that IMP needs the prepended file, so what can I do?
Saludos... :-)

Questions:
I want to make an e-commerce like transaction with a remote file,
similar to how a merchant account process a credit card. The concept is
very similar.
Basically, I have two servers in two different cities.
I have a web interface on server A, and DB on server B.
Server A is a membership site.
If someone tries to access a members-feature from site A, then site A
will
contact site B, run a cgi script (which returns YES or NO), then proceed
according to the answer from B.
[It's not possible for the user to connect to site B, then transfer to
site A]
I want this to be invisible to the user, so I'm using
$fp = fopen(http://.../file.cgi?var=value);
to run the remote script.
Now, if the remote script returns a value, like
return ($va1, $var2);
=================
How can I read these value, from site A?
=================
If the function was in the same file, then it would be no problem.
For example, with
$var1 = function_name();
$var1 would contain any value returned by function_name().
=====================
Does that same concept holds, if the files are different?
====================
=== How can I capture the returned value of the remote file?
=== Is there a better way to do this?
Any and all suggestions are welcome. I would appreciate any help,
comments, directions, that can provide.
Thanks in advance.

You could try Xemacs, which has colour syntax highlighting and a built
in psychoanalist! (No, really!) But I prefer Gvim. You need (say) gvim
5.7 and the vim 5.7rt. If you're running a *nix, build it against Gtk.
It's charityware, and looks and works the same on any platform. Menu
driven and Grep style search and replace, unlimited undoos, colour sytax
hightlighting, lots of ready made macros and so on. Get it from
http://www.vim.org

Hi,
can anyone suggest how to make this less hackish - perhaps preserving the
array across page iterations somehow?
I'm storing image path info in MySQL and creating an array from the result
set, so I can build hrefs to the other pics as well as populate the img tag.
This page calls itself to provide a running display of the current pic and
the links to other pics.
To preserve the passed href value, I've had to create the array TWICE as
well as map the passed variable to another name to preserve it.
tia,
andrew
<?php
//begin database connection stuff
include("db_connect_params.inc"); //all relevant database variables
$sql="select path from PHOTO where pid =1"; //obvious
$link_id = mysql_connect($host, $usr, $pass); //get connection handle
$result = mysql_db_query($database, $sql, $link_id) or die("no result");
//begin hackishness
if (!isset($i))
{
$i = 1; //initialize counter
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) //read rows of picture paths into an
array
{
extract($row);
$displayed[$i]=$path;
echo "<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?i=$i\">$i</a>  ";
$i++;
}
echo "<img src =\"$displayed[1]\"></img><br>"; //use first row pic as
default
} else {
$ii = $i; //preserve passed pic selection value
$i = 1; //re-initialize counter
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) //read rows of picture paths
into an array
{
extract($row);
$displayed[$i]=$path;
echo "<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?i=$i\">$i</a>  ";
$i++;
}
echo "<img src =\"$displayed[$ii]\"></img><br>"; //use passed pic
}
?>
try using serialize() and unserialize()
but if you have a large amount of data, you would be better off using
sessions.
hope that helps

Hello..
..how i can make a extension for this version of PHP3?
..Thanks
:-)
how can i make somthing that nows if there are 6-12 chars in a password
field. Also how do you make somthing the know is the password, and the
password confermation is the same. And finnally i need a script that
know if they filled all the form fields, and one that know if they put
and "@" in there e - mial
sorry for all the request but i just cant find it anywere and i need a
little help to get my buissness going
-Thank you for you time
Brandon
with the password you can use the funcio srtlen:
$number_of_chars=strlen($password);
Where are the right password? On a database??
In the site http://www.hotscripts.com you'll find a lot of script exemplos
in PHP and JavaScript to verify if a e-mail typed is right.

Hi, I need help from checkbox-specialists needed !
I have a list of records each carrying a checkbox.
The source in this original page looks like this as for the checkbox - the value of
"value" equals the ID of the record:
<input type=checkbox name=marked[] value=1 ></TD>...
<input type=checkbox name=marked[] value=2 ></TD>...
<input type=checkbox name=marked[] value=3 ></TD>...
The user shall mark interesting records and upon submitting the form shall be shown on
a new page showing only the marked records.
The script for this new page exept for the query is shown below.
WHAT MUST THE QUERY ON THIS NEW PAGE LOOK LIKE?
e.g.
Thanks for any help!
Helmut
<TABLE <TR >
<? for (list($key, $val) = each($id))
{

Okay, last one for the day! How do you query the clients IP address? We
have a site in development, and I want to restrict access to people coming
in from certain IP addresses.
Really, all I need to do is query the IP address, I can code the rest of it.
Thanks!
Karl
Run
<?
phpinfo();
?>
on a page. You will be able to see all of the available environment variables
avaliable to you, one will tell you the client IP address.

be Careful using the IPAddress as a primary security measure.
If the client has accessed your site through a proxy, then the IP Address
shown will be the IP Address of the proxy. While you can use
X_FORWARDED_FOR (or something similar,c ant remember off the top of my
head :p ) to determine the requesting IP address,
not all proxies support this and can be easily spoofed.
IP address checking is fine as a filter, but make sure more robust
methods are in place as a secondary precaution.

$remote_ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
should work.
There are other ways, but this one should be the safest.

and leave out the require at the beginning. You'll need to hack it around
a bit (lot?) to suit your circumstances, but the code to keep track of
where you are is in there.

Evan,
It sounds like your PATH doesn't contain the JDK/bin directory. What happens if
you type "which jar" at a command shell?

For tabs something like this will probably give a tolerable result, though
I've never had a need to try:
$var = str_replace( "\t", str_repeat( " ", 4 ), $var );

Hi,
How do I get the index,number of an array if reffering to an array via string?
Ex:
I have 100 arrays, and I want to know what # myarray["something"] is.
I looked at Current, but how do I move the pointer to where "something" is in the
array?
Would this work:
$null = myarray["something"];
$indexofsomething = current();
Thanks,
Chris

well... that could help, but even than I'd have to call that error_handler
everytime I execd a query and still would have to pass to it the __LINE__
of code...
so, I'd wouldn't exactly help...

Try an @ prepended to the function that triggers the error, then test for
the error. @ should prevent the display of the error message.

Use the "@" sign. Example
@some_function()

OK, I tried the @ symbol. It seemed to just disable error checking
altogether. I have this in my code that I'd like to use.
if (!$php_errormsg) {
header("Location: http://www.domain.com/admin/index.php");
}
else {
header("Location: http://www.domain.com/admin/error.html");

Pretty neat, I never once thought of making one big parameter array....
I agree its all a matter of taste. It could be a personal inditement but
i've always found my OO code easier to extend and maintain than my
proceedural stuff.
I can only recommend you give a go in PHP and see if it makes a difference
for you.

you could do something like:
$parameters["options"] = "nowrap";
$parameters["heading"]["bgcolor"] = "black";
$parameters["heading"]["fontcolor"] = "white";
$parameters["global"]["font"] = "tahoma";
$parameters["global"]["fontsize"] = 12;
$parameters["column"]["total"]["format"] = "bold";
echo create_table($data,$parameters);
The difference is a matter of style.

Maybe so, I never used it. To me, the main reason to use OOP is when
you're dealing with Java or something and native code is dealing with
your objects. For instance laying out widgets on a screen might need
that your widget extend Widget and have a draw() method.
I've never had a situation with php where I thought doing things this
way would make things easier.

Hi Guys,
Does anybody know how to upload a file if the only information you have is
the string to the location of the file on the clients hard drive. Also, the
string was not retrieved using the form method, which I know about. This
method can't be used and I need to be able to upload with only the location
information.
PHP3 is the ver that I am using.

"Nope, it can't be done."
Well ... actually, it *can* be done. But you ruled out the only
possible method of doing it, for some reason.

I wouldn't know how to do this myself, especially since it would help greatly in
a project I'm working on. Although I'm suspecting it's a restriction in the
<input type="file"> tag which won't allow this kind of behaviour.
eg: "c:/windows/passwd.pwl"
of course I could be paranoid

So does anybody have a work around.
I need this becase I am creating a web updating system using my own code and
text box. Ie, I use reg epx's to search through 'my code' and change it to
proper html. Then I search through and find all file references in order to
upload them. But them I am stuck with strings to files on people's hard
drives, with no way of uploading??
Any ideas??

Don't always expect a response, especially within 137 minutes.
Also consider how dangerous it would be. If I decided to check for files
on a visitors HD's and was able to download them at will, that would be
bad.

In order to do ANYTHING on the client computer, you need a CLIENT-
SIDE program. PHP is handled completely SERVER-SIDE, so no, this
cannot be done in PHP (unless, of course, the client and the server are
the same machine).
You'll be wanting to look into javascript or something more of that flavor.
Good luck...

Because '\n' is a string consisting of a backslash followed by the letter
n, while "\n" is a newline character. Gotta use double-quotes.

I even had trouble within double quotes with the concatenation.

you will need to use "\r\n" instead of only "\n", I guess
hope that helps

I have a few text input boxes that I am using to allow the client to
compose emails for a mailing list... does anyone have a little snippet that
will take the "\n's" and turn them into <BR>'s? I would attempt to write one
myself.... but Im not the best at ereg or replace code...
Much Thanks in Advance.
Dallas K.
Are you sure you want to convert \n into <br> for an email? At any rate,
a function exists for this conversion :

Are you establishing a valid database connection someplace earlier in the
script? If not, then you need to do so first (see mysql_connect
mysql_pconnect, for instance). Also, the resource id for that connection
should be included as the second parameter in your mysql_query() call. You
may find it helpful to read the PHP manual section on mysql and/or a
PHP/MySQL tutorial (ex. phpbuilder.com).

Peter,
after querying the database, you need to fetch the returned values from
the result before you can use them:
> $result = mysql_query("SELECT company FROM resellers WHERE Company LIKE
> '%$query%'");
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$company = $row[0];
OR (shorter):
list($company)=mysql_fetch_row($result);
> printf("<tr><td> $company </td></tr>\n");
otherwise, $company would not be set.

Peter,
use something like
if ( mysql_num_rows( $result ) ) {
echo '<UL>';
while( list($company) = mysql_fetch_row($result) ) {
echo '<LI>'.htmlentities($company).'</LI>';
}
echo '</UL>';
}
the first line checks whether there are results (if no, we don't need to
display the <UL></UL> either.
The while runs until mysql_fetch_row returns false, which is the case
when all rows have been retireved.
htmlentitites($company) makes sure that no HTML special characters slip
through (like a company named '<E>-Buiz Inc'.

Could anyone recommend a reasonably priced (preferably
below USD 100 a month) host that provides PHP4 and
MySQL? What are your experiences with the host that you
are recommeding?
Thanks in advance.

Actually, yes. I do. My rates are approximately US$20 per month depending on
the expected size of the database.
as far as experiences go, I haven't had any complaints about the QOS or the
accessibility of the system.

take a look at some good tutorials on www.phpbuilder.com, www.devshed.com
and www.webmonkey.com
also, download the php manual from www.php.net and go through the
installation section therein that deals in detail with the stuff on
installing php with apache , both on Windows and Unix

use stripslashes() in the submit page to take care of the problem with the
quotes
for ex, if the name of the textbox for description is "txtDesc",
use the following line at the top of the page
$describe=stripslashes($describe);
so your code will look like
PHP Script #1: Editing description
print'
</textarea><br>
Description:<br><textarea name=describe cols=40 rows=10>';
echo $info["description"];
print'
</textarea><br>';
PHP Script #2: (preview changes)
<input type=hidden name=describe value="<?php print
stripslashes($describe)?>">
<b>Description:</b><br>
<?php print stripslashes($describe) ?> <p>
PHP Script #3: (update database)
$describe=stripslashes($describe);
$sql = "UPDATE news SET release_date='$date', title='$title',
description='$describe', contact='$contact', content='$test', type='$type'
WHERE news_id=$id";
$result = mysql_query($sql)
make sure that you make use of stripslashes in both the pages ( in the
hidden field of the second page as well) otherwise you will have to use
multiple stripslashes() calls to get back to your original data
hope that halps

if you store the data in the MYSQL database with the slashes escaping the
quotes, I think the complete stuff will get stored.
for ex - if you have
Description: I like to run and walk. I love "smelly cheese."
and on posting, you get
I like to run and walk. I love \"smelly cheese.\"
it will store the complete string into the MYSQL database.
and on retrieval you will get
I like to run and walk. I love "smelly cheese."
try it out

Is there any reason why php is better than perl for shopping carts
and/or product catalogs?
Thanks,
Jeff

It's hard to just come out and say that php is better than perl for shopping
carts because there's too many factors to take into consideration.
If you were a person who'd never used either, I'd guess that php might be
better to use because the essential ingredients are pretty much already
included with php, such as session handling, form and url data processing,
and a wide variety of database functions.
That's not to say the same things aren't fairly easy to plug right into perl
by way of readily-available modules, but it's probably a bit of extra work,
especially for the beginner. Someone who already uses perl would likely have
libraries for these things already installed/handled anyway though.
I think the syntax might be a little easier to understand in php too,
although it's sure to be a personal preference thing to a large extent.
To me, the bottom line is go with the one you feel most
productive/comfortable with. They're both about as cross-platform portable
as each other (I think?) and both are pretty robust under heavy load,
especially when you're not using the cgi.

When Jason says 'especially when your note using the cgi' he means the cgi
version of PHP (I think) in preference to installing PHP as an apache
module.

Is there any way to get a php script to automatically run, say every
night at 2am?
Thanks,
Jeff
Read about CRON, here's a couple nice descriptions :
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/1005/fid/436
http://schvin.net/writings/crontab.html
faqts.com has a few php specific cron replies too which basically say "use
wget or lynx to dump it" but it'll all make sense soon.

this question has been dealt with extensively in the past. try searching the
archives.
to give you a hint, you will need to make use of the cron daemon on the *nix
systems.

I guess that someone posted a good script to browse through the contents of
a specified directory and browse through it. Search through the archives for
the last week or so and you shoudl land up with it. If you don't write baxck
to me. I have a similar script that I wrote but I need to search for it. I
will send that to you. The script does eactly what you want -filesystem
manipulation after database matching.
Also, to limit the filesize for uploaded files, take a look at the uploading
files section of trhe php manual
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
there are good code snippets to achieve this.
hope that helps

Subject: [PHP] how do I do file maintenance with PHP?
Ok here is the deal.
I have a Linux server running PHP4 and MySQL and a directory full of images.
The images that are currently being used should be listed in a table
(members) in a column titled "pic1". What is the best way to pull the file
names of the files and check them against the files in the table? I want
all files that are not listed in the table to be deleted.
Also, is there a way to limit file size? I don't want new images to be

they are larger then that.
Thanks in advance for any help.

hey all,
I was wondering how one would suggest removing items from a cart system once the
session lifetime has expired. I have it set to the default 0, which expires the
session on browser close, what I want to be able to do is "delete * from Cart where
session='$PHPSESSID'" when the user closes thier browser window is this even possible?
maybe using register_shutdown_function or something?
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks
Joseph
You'll probably need to trigger the deletion of all expired carts with
something other than trying to guess when the user closes their browser.
Maybe a regular cronjob, or just do it inside your globally-included
function definition script so that any hit to the website can trigger it for
you, or perhaps just put it in the script that's used when creating a new
cart for someone.

Since HTTP connections are "stateless" their can be no communication
initiated from the server-side that instructs the browser to tell the server
that the browser has been closed. In other words, once an HTTP
request has been made, the browser and server talk to each other while
the file(s) is/are transferring and will not talk again until the browser
asks for more. Getting any other behavior from an HTTP connection
would require something to run on the client side (like a javascript). The
reason your cookies go away when they have a lifetime of zero is
because the browser throws them away. This really doesn't have
anything to do with the communication between the browser and the
server (the server didn't see that the browser was closing and delete the
cookie from your machine for you).
We personally run perl scripts out of cron at 2:00 every morning to clean
up all tables that need cleaning. This could be done in pretty much the
same manner using the PHP language if you run the CGI version of
PHP. If you're already using the CGI version of PHP, there isn't any
disadvantage to using either it or perl scripts to do this clean-up. If
you're running the Apache module version of PHP, you'll need to find a
tool that can be invoked from the command prompt (such as perl) to do
this for you.
Good luck...

Just as an aside, there's no reason I can think of that you can't run both
the Apache module and standalone binary on the same system side by side -
I've been doing this for about 2 years without trouble.
jason
I guess you will need to have a script sunning after a specific period of
time which would check for the sessions that have expired and then remove
the associated items from the cart. database.
there is no way for you to know if the user closes the browser as php is a
server side language.
I may be wrong, but I this is what comes to my mind.

one way would be to pass this using Hidden fields if you can submit the form
or else use the session variables to propogate the values across multiple
pages
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
or try out phplib if you are on PHP3

does anyone know of a way to currency conversions with php? i want to
grab the current currency from some kind of web site and then convert
money to different currency value
any help is greatly appreciated
many thanks in advance

Sorry for not being able to send you the code you requested for. But I am
glad that you learnt uploading files.
coming to your problem, PHP by default deletes the temporary upload file it
created when the script finishes execution. You will need to explicitly make
all the copies of the file that you want to keep.
more information about this can be found in the Handling file uploads
section of the php manual
hope that helps

I was browsing thru the http authentication method
given thru the header() function in the manual. I
tried it out but it's not giving me the pop-up window
asking me the username and password and is only
writing the text given in the code on the page.
I'm using win98 and otherwise use sun solaris. Does
this function work on these two OS?
I have to write a code that checks each time a user
enters a page, his previously entered user/pwd so as
to prevent anyone from entering the page if he knows
and writes the page's URL in the address bar. I've
used the same authentication method in ASP before for
the same. Can I use it in my OS using PHP?
The code I'm entering is:
<?php
if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"My Realm\"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "Text to send if user hits Cancel button\n";
exit;
} else {
echo "Hello $PHP_AUTH_USER.<P>";
echo "You entered $PHP_AUTH_PW as your password.<P>";
}
?>

I too would be interested in knowing this. I was once (and still am)
interested in developing a MUD (= multi-user text-based game) engine
entirely in PHP. This would be nice because powerful scripts and stuff like
that could be coded within the mud and executed on-the-fly if proper
considerations were taken towards stability and security.

Hi all.
I understand that a lot of JSP Vs. PHP questions have been asked on this
list, but they've been philosophical and general in nature. I have some
specific questions and was hoping that someone might be able to entertain them:
1) JSPs can persist variables at the page, request, session and application
scopes. I believe PHP variables are implicitly page-scoped, and session
management can be used for session-scoping. Are there equivalents to
request and application scoping?
2) In JSPs, it is possible to do server-side page redirection, i.e.
"forward" a request from page A to page B, as if the user actually
requested page B. There is no browser involvement in the redirection; it is
complete on the server. In this scenario, there are two "page scopes", and
one "request scope". How is this server-side redirection done in PHP?
3) In doing the server-side page redirection, variables can be added to a
"request" object, which embodies parameters related to a request. Page A
can add variables to the request object (perhaps values from an SQL
select), which page B can then retrieve and display. How is this done in PHP?
4) JSPs, being a part of J2EE, can use a security system that does
authentication and authorization. What is the commonly accepted way to do
security with PHP?
5) On a JSP site, I typically arrange things such that a particular JSP (or
servlet) accepts requests, processes them and then forwards them to one of
a number of different pages, depending on the outcome of the processing.
This is in contrast to the alternative approach where one simply goes to a
page, which does some processing and then displays the contents of the
requested page. What is the typical way to achieving this "funnel all
requests to a single point and have it forward the correct response to the
user" paradigm?
6) JSPs can be packaged up as an application (a WAR file), and that WAR
file has descriptors that allow mapping of URLs to JSPs and servlets. This
allows me to just drop in a WAR file to a JSP container, like Tomcat, and
have it run. Are there equivalents to the "pack it up as an application"
and URL mapping concepts in PHP?
7) JSPs can be mapping to multiple URLS, e.g. /alpha/mypage and
/beta/mypage can both go to the same JSP. Is there an equivalent to this in
PHP?
I have several more, but this is a sample. Answers to these questions are
quite important to me because at the moment I'm trying to decide whether I
should choose JSPs (J2EE actually), PHP or Zope for some projects.
Thanks.
Gerald.
