No there's not - I think that goes without saying though.
But while you're compiling Php anyway, why not re-run ./configure without the
'--with-apache' and add an '--enable-discard-path' and type 'make; make
install' - then you can use this awesome tool from the command line without
having to invoke a http request to your webserver usng a third-party tool.

Thanks all,
This gives me a good start, I think I will just get cron to do it at a certain time of
day, the only problem is trying to tell which sessions have expired as the database is
not going to know this.

As far as I know, no. Unless "top.upper.villagename" is a field in your
database and the rest is that field's contents (couldn't be ... too many
unescaped double quotes and semicolons). Nope, SQL statements don't work
like that and can only refer directly to data in a database, not php or
any other variables.
You might consider using if statements something like this:
if ($top.upper.villagename != '0') {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM main WHERE business = 'consultancy'";
}
Hope this helps
Mick
note that javascript and PHP CANNOT interact natively on the same page...one
is client side and one is server side.
you can pass variables between the two in an HTTP request, however.
page1.php:
<script type=javascript>
function makeSqlQuery(businesstype,village) {
var sqlQuery;
sqlQuery = "SELECT * FROM MAIN WHERE BUSINESSTYPE="
+ businesstype +
" AND VILLAGE="
+ village
location = "php2.php?sqlQuery=" + sqlQuery;
}
</script>
<form name=thisform>
<select name=businesstype>
</select>
<select name=village>
</select>
<input type=button
onclick="makeSqlQuery(thisform.businesstype,thisform.village)">
</form>
--
this is a silly way to do it, however, and you should just pass the
variables themselves and construct and run the query in a new request using
php.
you use the same page with control structures on it.

hey guys,
in order to restart my mysql server i'd like to run safe_mysqld from my
php file. i have this:
`./usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld`
however when we check the list of processes, safe_mysqld isnt there. what am
i doing wrong? btw, we've tried taking out the period (.) and running exec()
instead
- noah
This is an issue with user permissions. You *could* create a world
executable suid script that did executed the command. PHP would then call
that. This is dangerous though, and I'd avoid it.

Is there anything that evaluates PHP code and checks for optimization? Not
like the Zend Optimizer, but one that checks for things such as variables
that were defined but never used, repeated variables, unnecessary
statements or constructs? Basically a code cleaner such as C, C++, Java,
etc all have?

Errr... That's what the ZendOptimizer does, pretty much...
Or are you looking for one where you see the altered source? -- Dunno where
any of those are, and sometimes the altered source isn't readable enough to
be worth looking at.

Could anybody interested comment the following statement:
Apache doesn't correctly serve .shtml files if ob_gzhandler is enabled (the
output is distorted then).
Not related, perhaps? This is my experience, though. The newest Apache, the
newest PHP.
Just want to hear something before I file a bug.

could accually be a browser issue. I know you can not compress an image and
send it accross, even with the proper headers, no broswer seems to
decompress it. try running a sniffer on the connection, make sure the proper
headers are being sent, cut and paste the sniffers output, see if you can
decompress it. maybe its not really being *garbled* maybe the browser just
doesnt know that its supposed to accept and de-compress ssl pages.

I have got php 4.0.4p1 configured with openssl 0.9.6
and ldap and I'm trying to get an ldap_connect to work
over ldaps as described in the ldap_connect
documentation.
I have no problem connecting using
ldap_connect(hostname) format but I do have a problem
with the URL format. This is what I am doing :-
$Host='ldaps://hostname/';
$ds=ldap_connect($Host);
What is wrong ?? any ideas ??

Hi!! I was wondering if anyone knows how to pass parameters to PHP.EXE when
invoked from the command line (DOS prompt).
I know this shouldn't differ too much from the Linux version, so anyone who
has scheduled scripts to run using CRON should have an idea, i guess.
In particular, I don't know how to pass the URL and other parameters needed.
THANKS A LOT!!!
Cheers, Diego.
use $argv and $argc just like C/C++ :O)

Greetings,
Is anyone REALLY familiar with PHP and cookies and/or headers-- I have a
tough nut to crack and it involves three URLs.
Here is the situation, and I really want to avoid using our DB if I can.
I have a main URL that everyone will probably hit - splash page.
www.mainurl.com
>From there, users go into either the french or english version of the site
with two unique URLs...
www.english.com
www.francais.com
I want it so that if users go back to the splash page, it will pick up their
language preference (french or english) and send them to the index page of
either www.english.com or www.francais.com -- depending upon the last
argument set when they were last at the site. So, if they ended on an
english page, they would start at the english index page, but if the
finished on a french page, they would start on the french index page.
The problem with cookies is the fixed URL from which they can be read.
Obviously www.mainurl.com cannot read a cookie set by www.francais.com -- so
how can I over come this.
I suppose I could do it via IP stored in a DB, but even then there is a
problem as people who hide behind one IP -- say a large business --
would be stuck using each others' preferences depending upon who used the
site last.
I also do not want the user to have to type in a code word so that the
IP is tagged with a special identifier. I suppose I could use a random
number generated from a time stamp... but I really want to avoid using a DB!
-- mostly for speed and bloat of page size reasons.
Thanks in advance!

Ive done this, our secure server is on a differnt IP/domain name, of course
I still need cookies though.
<?php
include_once('time.egn');
if ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['PHPSESSID']) )
session_id($HTTP_GET_VARS['PHPSESSID']);
if ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['PHPSESSID']) )
session_id($HTTP_POST_VARS['PHPSESSID']);
session_start();
if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['SessionID']))
{
$SessionID = mtime();
session_register('SessionID');
}
if (!isset($PHPSESSID))
$PHPSESSID = session_id();
$SID = "PHPSESSID=$PHPSESSID";
?>
All I have todo to set the SessionID ona different domainname is pass the
PHPSESSID in the url to the new host, and voila I have access to the same
SessionID and other session vars. give it a shot, im sure this will work for
you. if not please give me an email, I will help you.

In your main page:
<?php
if (strstr($HTTP_REFERER, 'www.english.com')){
header("Location: www.english.com");
}
elseif (strstr($HTTP_REFERER, 'www.francais.com')){
header("Location: www.francais.com");
}
?>
Note: I usually swap the needle/haystack and have to look them up, but you
probably won't just use strstr anyway, so I didn't.

I'm trying to add PHP's MS SQL functionality to my Windows NT server.
My problem appears to be the extension_dir entry in the PHP.ini. I've
tried every conceivable way to enter it (the files are actually in
C:\PHP\extensions), using absolute and relative paths, forward slashes,
backslashes, and whatever combinations I can think of.
Each time, I get the same error, which is that it can't load dynamic library
'<whatever path I entered>/php_mssql70.dll'
Can anyone help me?

Prior to PHP 4.04 there were two dll's(php_mssql65.dll, and php_mssql7.dll I
believe), but as of 4.04 there is only one which is php_mssql.dll. If you
are using 4.04 then I assume thats your problem. Otherwise I would suspect
you are trying to set the path where the extension declarations are rather
than where it asks for extensions_dir which should be c:\php\extensions\.

Ok. I already posted a question asking how to pass parameters to php.exe
when running it directly from the command prompt. However, i've noticed the
matter is a bit more complex than i had thought. I will reformulate my
question:
How the h--- does any Web Server passes information like the URL being
processed, posted variables, etc, etc, to a scripting engine???
I've noticed it is not through command line arguments... Could it be using
enviroment variables...?
The initial purpose of this was to schedule a script to be executed on a
periodic basis... but know I am very curious!!
Still, i will greatly appreciate workarounds.
THANKS A LOT AGAIN.

I'm sorry, but this is wrong. The following works with no
problems whatsoever.
<script language="php">
$month = 3;
$day = 9;
$year = 1935;

Ok, I'm baffled. I'm building a DB abstration class and I've run into
something very strang when creating the Oracle abstraction file.
If I use the following code all works well:
$conn = OCINLogon("user", "password", "SDB");
$stmt = OCIParse("SELECT something FROM here"); // This should return 638
rows.
OCIExecute($stmt);
echo OCIFetchStatement($stmt, $myarray);
It echo's out 638, as it should.
However when I do this:
include("./oracle.php");
$db = new sql_db("SDB", "user", "password");
$db->sql_query("SELECT something FROM here");
echo $db->sql_numrows() . "<br>";
$db->sql_close();
When that runs I get: 574
This is the code in the abstrcation class that matters:
if(!defined("SQL_LAYER")){
define("SQL_LAYER","oracle");
class sql_db {
var $db_connect_id;
var $query_result;
var $row;
var $stmt;
//
// Constructor
//
function sql_db($sqlserver, $sqluser, $sqlpassword, $database="",
$persistency=true){
$this->persistency = $persistency;
$this->user = $sqluser;
$this->password = $sqlpassword;
$this->host = $sqlserver;
unset($this->stmt);
if($this->persistency){
$this->db_connect_id = @OCIPLogon($this->user, $this->password,
$this->server);
} else {
$this->db_connect_id = @OCINLogon($this->user, $this->password,
$this->server);
}
return $this->db_connect_id;
}
function sql_query($query="") {
// Remove any pre-existing queries
unset($this->query_result);
if($query != "") {
if($stmt = OCIParse($this->db_connect_id, $query)) {

$this->query_result = $stmt;
}
}

I have a music database for my wife. She's on a client computer
and I have Apache, MySQL, PHP and her database on my computer,
the server. I always have Apache running but not MySQL. Can I
have a PHP script that would run MySQL using COM? I haven't
looked into COM yet so any resources would be great also.

I'm not quite understanding why you don't just run MySQL on one computer or
the other, and let both computers connect to MySQL...
Running MySQL through a COM object is like swallowing diamonds so you can...
I'd better stop there, eh?

Just as a novelty, I thought it would be nice for my wife to be
able to start MySQL from her computer without having to come
over to my computer. Only my computer has the server and
MySQL. If it would be like swallowing diamonds I would rather
not. :)

I've checked this in the PHP documentation and done a scan of the
archive to try to work out where I am going wrong but have failed. I
know I could fix this problem by using substrings and processing them,
but PHP has a simpler function which should work. Shouldn't it?
In my database a record has a timestamp of:
20010213173654
I extract the timestamp with a select statement, and process it with:
strftime("%A, %e %B %Y", $lastmodified) (where lastmodified is the
variable containing the timestamp)
and it produces the output:
Monday, 18 January 2038
Does anyone know why PHP isn't interpreting the timestamp correctly? I
can't work out how it could misinterpret the timestamp like this...
Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the speedy reply! I've tried using:
date("l, jS F Y",$lastmodified)
with the same effect - 20010213173654 becomes
Monday, 18th January 2038. Is there a problem with the way I'm passing

Your timestamp looks bogus. On normal systems this can only be a 32 bit
integer and there will be an overflow at that time.

His timestamp is perfectly fine, it's just in the wrong format. His is
formatted to YearMonthDayHourMinuteSecond and you (and the date function
for that matter) are assuming a UNIX timestamp of seconds since 1970.
He's probably gotten his timestamp from a database, in which case the
easiest solution is usually reformat the timestamp when collecting it from
the database rather than within PHP.
(MySQL) Example :
select UNIX_TIMESTAMP(timestamp);
Then the timestamp will be properly formatted for PHP's date command.

The timestamp is created within MySQL and means 17:36:54 on 13th
February 2001. I suppose I was wrong in assuming that this is Unix
format? In which case, is there a way I can process such a date from
MySQL directly using a command like strftime() or date()? Or is it an
uncommon timestamp format to have to process?
If there isn't a way of processing this with a simple command I'll admit
defeat and use substrings ;-)
Thanks again.

this is the best I got so far, for treating any sql syntax errors as normal
ERROrs and halting the parsing to report it.
like:
<?php
define(LN,__LINE__);
$cn=mysql_connect("databasewhatever");
$query="bogus meant to trigger error query";
$rs=mysql_query($query) or qerr(LN,$query);
function qerr($errline,$query="unspecified")
{
$msg="<font face=verdana size=2 color=ff0000><b>SQL Syntax Error:</b>
'$query'</font><br>\n";
$msg.="<font face=verdana size=2 color=ff0000>[".mysql_errno()."]"
".mysql_error()."at $errline</font>";
die($msg);
}
?>
anyone has a 'less-code' idea?
I wanted a smaller code on the calls to qerr(), I'd really like to call a 1
parameter (just the query) function and print the error_msg and the line of
code (the trickiest)...
is there anyway I can define something as a mask for a function or
something? I don't know... just having crazy ideas...
this is pretty good as it is.. I just wanted even better...

Does die() give you a line number? If not, just put it in there.

This comes up so often it ought to be a FAQ - if you look on the links
page of your favourite mirror or www.php.net/links.php you'll find a link
called Editor List to a page with info about lots of editors for all
sorts of OSes.

Here is a review I just submitted to the page you mentioned.
Thanks for the link, I didn't know about PHPEd.
---------
ConTEXT is a freeware editor for Windows 9x and NT. It supports
syntax coloring for PHP and has a split view feature
to simultaneously view and work with more than one file
at a time. It's light on resources and highly customizable.
http://www.fixedsys.com/context/
I'm not affiliated with ConTEXT in any way. I was looking for a
secondary editor and found this program had the features I wanted.
I normally use Homesite but it's a resource hog and doesn't support
split view for more than one file.

Hi,
You can also try Manuel Lemos's form class, which can handle all this and
many more. Check:
http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/browse.html/package/1
>From the class description:
<snip>
Class that generates HTML forms supporting:
- XHTML compliant output.
- Keyboard navigation support:
* Attachment of labels with activation keys to each form field.
* Tab navigation order index.
- Built-in server side (PHP based) and client side (Javascript 1.0 or better)
field validation for:
* E-mail address
* Credit card numbers (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners
Club, Carte Blanche, enRoute, JCB, any of these or even determined by a
select field).
* Regular expressions.
* Field not empty.
* Field equal to another (useful for password confirmation fields).
* Field different from another (useful for reminder fields that must not be
equal to the actual password).
* As set (for check boxes and radio buttons).
* As integer number (with range limitation).
* As floating point number (with range limitation).
* Programmer defined client and server validation functions.
- Ability to stop the user from submiting a form more than once inadvertdly.
- Sub form validation (validate only smaller set of field depending on the
submit button that was used).
- Composition and generation of the form HTML output with fields displayed as
fully accessible or in read-only mode.
- Generation of Javascript functions (useful to set to the page ONLOAD event):
* Set the input focus to a field.
* Select the text of a field.
* Set the input focus and select the text of a field.
* Enable and disable input fields
- Automatic capitalization of the text of a field:
* Upper case.
* Lower case.
* Word initials
- Etc.

hey,
I have a strange problem, when a user inputs the quantity into a text input field in a
cart, I want to be able to test to see if the value is a integer if it isn't then
default it to 1
if ( !is_int($Qty) ) {
$Qty = 1;
}
Looks ok, should work in theory, but it doesn't if I use this test, the update on the
database fails, take it out and it works, so if a user was to type "f" in the quantity
field in the cart and hit update because the quantity field is int(2) in the database
it will default to 0 which I do not want. I have also tried to set the type before the
update like so:
$Qty = settype($Qty, "integer");
This also will make the update fail, how would I make sure a user does not type
characters in the quantity field without using javascript or ereg stuff to check the
values? I just want to default the quantity to 1 if a invailid quantity is inputted.
If there is no obvious soulution then I will use a piece of javascript to check the
field onSubmit for illegal characters and alert the user I guess.

Joseph

Off the top of my head (and thus probably hideously wrong), how about:
$ActualQty = ereg_replace("[^0-9]", "", $Qty);
if (intval($ActualQty) <= 0)
{
$Qty = 1;
}
Here we're removing everything that's NOT between 0 and 9, and then
checking to see if the variable has a value.
Jason
Data coming from a POST or GET is a string, by definition -- A URL just
doens't contain any data type information, and PHP isn't going to sit there
and try to guess what the data type of $x should be.
You'll need to check its validity as an integer by using something like
this:
if (strlen($quantity) && ((int) $quantity == (string) $quantity)) &&
$quantity){
}
else{
$quantity = 1;
}

1. Are you running PHP as a Module? If not, and PHP is itself running as a
CGI, virtual() simply cannot be used. Solution: Use exec() (or system()
or...)
2. Path issues: Try providing the full path to your CGI from the machine's
root file-system and/or from DOCUMENT_ROOT. I'm not sure if virtual() uses
the include path, the current directory, or what, but you can never go wrong
with an absolute full pathname. Well, until you try to move from one server
to another. But you can get it to work for now, and then try variations on
altering include_path and suchlike later.

BCMATH would work...
If you're already messing around with using strings, you might as well use

Despite the "Note:" in FAQ 8.1 (grrr!), you *can* use indices in your FORM
NAME attributes if it makes sense to do so.
<?php
$asset_names[13] = 'Public Restrooms';
echo "<input type=checkbox name=assets[13]> $asset_names[13] <input
name=quantity[13] size=2><BR>\n";
?>
Your processing script will then have:
$assets[13] and $quantity[13], both referring to Public Restrooms.

It probably hasn't had the "remote wrapper" (the stuff that makes fopen()

You may be stuck with copying the file to a local /tmp file and dealing with
it there.
Unless, of course, you are a C hacker and want to modify the GD/PHP

Couldn't you just use MySQL dump to dump it all out and suck it back in?...
Perhaps, after dumping it out once, you could find a way to script the
changes you need to the dumped file.
Another option -- I dunno about MySQL, but I think in PostgreSQL you could
maybe alter the database known as "template1". PostgreSQL pretty much just
copies that database to create a new one.
WARNING: I've never tried this. I don't know that this is a supported
feature of PostgreSQL. You should be very, very diligent and careful if you
try this.

Check your config.log files to see if you are using PHP's builtin MySQL

If it is using the builtin support, you ignored the warning at the end of
the configuration step of PHP at your own peril. :-)

I don't think you can really do that directly.
Pretty much the whole database concept of row/column is that you want to use
your data the way you set it up in the database in the first place.
You *could* just iterate through your rows and *build* an array:
while(list($item) = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
$array[] = $item;
}
and use that array for the rest of your program...

Things you need to search for and read up on:
PEAR
http://conf.php.net has samples at the end of some of Rasmus' talks about
how to do this.
But these will only integrate to PHP, not to other software.
DSO -- This is the Un*x moral equivalent of DLLs, so if you want your
Library available to PHP *and* other programs, you'll need to use this.
PS Don't ask me for more details -- This is pretty much the full extent of
my knowledge. I know which way to point you, but I've never been down that
road.

Try changing your 'require' to 'include'.
I'm not real clear on the details, but if you are trying to suck in a
variable-based filename, you might as well use 'include' anyway.

Yes. Large ISPs shuffle client IP's addresses regularly.
Also, users behind firewalls/proxies will be sharing a single IP.
You don't want to use IP for user identification. It doesn't work.
It's also spoofable by hackers, or so the experts tell me.

Use http://localhost/home/KjsiHdbEyu8G645Dus96Sy54GD/ instead.
(IE, swap the userid/file to file/userid)
Throw <?php phpinfo();?> in "home", and you'll see at least one variable you
can tear apart with Regex (or explode, even easier) to get the userid.

Nothing especially related to PHP, really, except what you would do anyway:
Don't be having a bunch of files laying around that you don't know what they
are or what they do or etc.
Your PHP files should all have minimal permissions to make them work.

Maybe easier to type:
if (isset($brand) && $brand == 'nut'){
$item = "Chris King 2nut Headset";
}
Phorum must be altering your error_reporting() and not setting it back to
its original value. Bad!
You can suppress those messages using error_reporting(7) right after you
include the Phorum stuff. [7? It used to be 7. Now there's a whole bunch
more flags, and I dunno what the numbers mean any more...]
Maybe error_reporting(E_ALL^E_NOTICE) or something like that...
Anyway, read up on error_reporting.
You may find that it's better, though, to change your php.ini file and get
these warnings all over the place -- You'll find typos in your variable
names easier, for one thing.

I think the idea is this:
1. LOCK TABLES invovled.
2. Get the current values for all records you are about to change.
3. Attempt to make changes.
4. If any of the attempted changes fails, change back the ones that
succeded.*
5. UNLOCK the TABLES
* Or maybe UNLOCK lets you somehow rollback?...
* And if your attempt to undo the changes you already did fails, you'll need
some code to alert a human to straighten out the mess you've made after they
fix whatever is making the code not work in the first place.
You might have an easier time porting to a database that actually supports
transactions... :-)
http://postgresql.org
Or, the latest version of MySQL, but I dunno how stable their transaction
support is yet...

you just can't relie on this... imagine that you stop apache just in the

whatever... you manual "rollback" will not succeed :(

You should use that fgetcsv function... if it's in your version.
CSV is *not* simply comma-delimited.
Embedded commas and quote complicate it horribly.

It's possible to do, but you are currently sorting by the full line.
So "Bob" will always come before "Mike", no matter what their scores.
You'll need to get them all into a 2-D array with the fgetcsv, and use

Unless quote2.php sets $email, you've never set it to anything.
You've probably got their email in $result -- you just need to pull it out
and set it.
$email = mysql_result($result, 0, 'email');

No.
The browser sends those variables on each page hit, and PHP will over-write
your settings with those from the browser.
Use different variable names.
You *can* set environment variables, of course, just don't call 'em
PHP_AUTH_USER.

Also, if $conn isn't a valid connection, ora_errorcode() probably can't be
used on it.
It's a chicken and egg problem -- Until you have a valid connection, you
can't get the error message about why the connection failed...
Try echo $php_errormsg

Try changing all your \n to \r\n.
RFC is \r\n.
Un*x mail programs are smart enough to take \n
Microsoft mail programs are not that smart.
Put in the space after Cc: and before your email.
The space is *required* by some (all?) emailers?

You'll need to use some way to convert é to &eaccentgrave; or whatever the
HTML Character entity is for that.
And it probably won't work at all inside of a menu or a button, which relies
on the underlying OS, which probably only accepts ASCII.

I think you haven't use the proper charset in your HTML header ...
try to simply encode the page in the language you use, it should be the
same.
I am using Japanese characters in here and they work without I ever change
anything in mySQL. However they won't show up in browser unless I encode
them properly.
Cheers,

Hello,
I am outputting different french accents on my webpages.
They are imported in MySQL and there with a simple select I can see the
accents are
in good condition:
e.g.: Adresse lié à un atlas électronique
But when I use PHP to process the label into for example a select box with

I get something like this:

I suppose I should change something in MySQl or in the PHP settings, can

In addition to every header you can find, use:
http://yoursite.com/download.php/foo.jpg?download=foo.jpg
Yes, that extra foo.jpg looks real goofy in there.
PHP will ignore it.
Your web-server will ignore it.
Only really badly broken software products (IE) will say, "Hey, let's
*ignore* all those standards and stuff, and use the URL to decide what to
call the file. Yeah, that's a good idea!"

Search the mailing list archives for about 2 years ago with my name and
"gpg" as a key.
Then, find the guy who followed up with how to use popen() instead of exec()
for better security.

What?...
Are you maybe getting the name of the temp file where it's been stored on
your server?
Use the http://php.net/copy function or that new-fangled copy_uploaded_file
or whatever it is.

Extending PHP3 requires that you read that text file in the source...
apidoc.txt? something like that, and then do whatever it says.
PHP4 has much easier ways to extend the functionality.
Upgrade if you can.

realpath() doesn't do anything like try to figure out what you handed it
relative to the file system or anything. It just takes whatever you give it
literally. The path part of ./filename is pretty much empty.
You probably want to look for a function in the PHP filesystem documentation
section like pwd() or cd() or cwd() that will tell you the current
directory.

I think you want the session_start() and session_register() calls at the top
of the script, not buried in your if() statements.

MS SQL almost for sure has a way to do this in your SQL, which will be
faster than PHP's mktime() anyway.
You'll have to read the MS SQL docs to find it, though...

I have to detect wheater some number can be divided with 100.
About 4M times per day.
So, what is quicker:
1. if($num==fun($num/100)), where fun is round/ceil/floor, or
2. if($num%100), or
3. something else...
$num is int, of course
TIA

And why, pray tell, son't you determine the quicker of the 1st 2
empirically? It's not very hard to roll & time a loop ... and then you won't
have 10 different people guessing the answer.

Very strange thing happened today. I had a db and a website that was running
fine and wanted to add another mysql db to the account, and when i did the
site no longer connects to the mysql server. I did not change any passwords
or anything else for that matter, simply added a database with a diff name
and then poof. Any suggestions on how to figure out what's going on? I can
get to the original db via phpmyadmin and the data is there. It just wont
connect from the website to the server.
What could be going on?

This may be getting off topic, but the only way storing images in a database
DOES make sense is if you are accessing the the database via WebDAV.

Exactly my point ... when it is needed it is good to use it,
But for an e-commerce site for example, associating graphics with products
it is too stupid to have these in databases.
Just call them like 000025558.gif and in the script <IMG
SRC=\"$usual_folder/$id.gif\"> and it's UP!
That what I try toy make people understand, some think that it is cooler
having graphics in the database, but it is actually a political war between
database maker ... "They support it? then I gotta do so too, or I'll lose
the market..."

for the tabs?
use Regular Expressions to do all that kind of jobs if you really need it:
$multiplier = 4;
$text = ereg_replace("\t", str_replace(' ', $multiplier), $text)
Or simply use our good-old <PRE> tag.

In case of displaying \n that are stored in a variable or com from a DB or

Subject: [PHP] PHP globals aren't really globals
I've been programming in C all my life, and now I just started developing
in PHP and I'm really enjoying it, it has all the missing improvements that
C needed to be more user-likely.
But one thin I can't get, how can PHP call a variabel global, if it isn't
global.
A global var, is a var defined outside all functions and it's available
to all and altered by all, without having to redefine or call the var again.
In PHP, for a var to be global you have to add a 'global $var' inside the
function u want to use it. THis is not nice, what about if u have a form
with 50 fields and want a function to validate all of them, u have to pass
them all to the function or build a little piece of code to make all th
$GLOBALS local right?
Is this really the idea of global vars?

I write all my code in a normal plain-text editor, whatever is available
on whatever OS I'm using - usually Linux. On MacOS I have a handy tool
called BEdit (I think) that allows me to do a multiple-file search and
replace. The only problem is it's a hassle to move a couple hundred
makes of source files back and forth over the network so I'd rather do
it on the server itself. Does anyone know of a good tool for doing such
a search and replace? If it only works on individual files that is okay
as I can always add the multiple-file abilties. I'd like it to be a
freely available open source program if possible. I know I can do this
sort of thing w/ Perl, and have, but Perl is a less than perfect tool in
this case so I'd like something made for the purpose. Thanks.

Huh? I am going off of the example from the PHP documentation:

echo '<A HREF="mycgi?foo=', urlencode ($userinput), '">';
So I am using that as a model:

Subject: [PHP] need better solution
I need a better solution for reporting SQL errors.
I'm used to work with ASP, and whenever a query has a syntax error, it stops
the script and reports the error as if it was a compile error. This is very
usefull, but int PHP it doesn't work like that, I know.
I came with a function query_error() that I call after each query, that
prints out the query, the error and the line... so I need to call it like
this.
if(!$rs) query_error($query,__LINE__);
but having to writ this down after EVERY single query, along with the
__LINE__
thing can get very boring, does anyone has a better solution?

you could use explode() function of PHP:
$date = 'MM/DD/YYYY';
$date_a = explode('/', $date);
$mm = $date_a[0];
$dd = $date_a[1];
$yyyy = $date_a[2];
$date = "$mm/".($dd+$n)."/$yyyy";
So here you have your date + something else ...
of course your exaple is smarter since in here I could manage to have 33
days...
You can however use mktime, and I believe the 1 month and 33 days will
result to use as february 2, (2 month + 2 days(1 month is 31 days as
january))
anyway ... explode is I believe what you are asking for.

Hello,
Sorry if I am confused by the date functions in the manual but I am.

I have a string in the form MM/DD/YYYY. I wish to:
1) convert it to a date
2) add $n days to it
3) convert back to a string in the same format above
I believe I can accomplish [2] and [3] with:
$mytdate = date("m/d/Y",mktime(0,0,0,date("m")

How do I accomplish step 1?
Can I type cast a string to a date?

Sure,
here's the fix -- stripslashes() !
I'll explain : in PHP certain caracters have to be escaped to prevent these
hackers breaking your code up.
By default configuration PHP will automatically insert a backslash '/'
infront of every "dangerous" caracters received via GET, POST ect ... for
instance on a form submission.
In your code you should use the strings just as they are (in the way they
arrived to you), except that on output using stripslashes() the backslash
will disappear.
BUT REMEMBER - ONLY ON OUTPUT...
ie:
echo stripslashes($text);

This 'setting' is one of the best things PHP got.
Yes, you can configure PHP.ini so it won't put '/' infront " or ' but then
you'll have to do it yourself in the script...
This is more a security issue, it is needed, believe me....

I can help you there, as I had the same problem until someone else helped

To fix it you call stripslashes($var);

It will escape the error ... or better say you force the function to always
return true.
Very useful if you don't really care whether you succeed or not.
Like during user tracking, you don't want to exit the script only because
something went wrong while you were curious where did he come from, am I
right ?
so you use :
$where = @where($user);
this will always return true no matter what happen

You may wish to consider why you need to pass 30 lines of code in a
variable.
If the code is static, store it in include files and then pass it in
depending one a variable
if ($variable=1)
{ include(your30linefile);
}
else
{ inclue(someotherfile);
}
or to use a database query, pass a select value in as the index:
$sql = "select some_field from table where id_field = $variable
either way, you pass the value of $variable in from a page with this kind of
link:
<a href="page_name.php?variable=1">click me to submit $varible=1 to
page_name.php</a>
If the 30 lines of code is html that needs to be generated on the fly, break
it up into common blocks and drop them in using either method above.
You can also do things like passing a hidden form field instead of using a
link.

Andrew

How does php handle true and false? Do they act as true booleans?
Can I do?
function foo()
{
return false;
}
Thanks,
-Jonathan
Yes, you can return false.
As for "true booleans", PHP doesn't really have a boolean type - it does
have a sense of "true" and "not true" though. You can return false (a
case-insensitive constant with the value 0) or true (whose value is
probably 1 but could really be anything other than 0 or the empty
string).
You can of course evaluate a true/false value as a regular condition...
if (someFunc()) {
// do something if someFunc returns true
} else {
// do something if someFunc returns false
}
..You get the idea.

Yeah, sure you can,
if return is found in function it then exits it.
for example avoiding 'else' statements:
function returnMeFoo($foo=0)
{
if(!$foo)
return "Hey, you forgot to type a number in";
if($foo>5)
return "$foo is bigger then 5";
if($foo<5)
return "$foo is less then 5";
return "Then, logically, $foo *IS* 5";
}
// then call this function as
echo '<P>'.returnMeFoo(4);
echo '<P>'.returnMeFoo(5);
echo '<P>'.returnMeFoo(6);
And see how fun it is!

oops ...
I think I got too far from your original question:
yes,
function returnMeFoo($foo=0)
{
if($foo)
return true;
return false;
}
if(returnMeFoo())
echo 'you will not see this echo';
elseif(returnMeFoo(1))
echo 'but if you see this means the function returned as true';

Hi everyone!
I wrote a script which utilises semaphore and shared memory.
It polls the shared memory for an event before breaking from the polling
function.
I wrote another script that the sets this event in shared memory.
How I tested the script was as follows:
I ran 3 ttys, two of them running the polling script. Naturally they will be
waiting for the event to be set.
And on the last terminal, I executed the event set script. Upon execution,
both polling scripts were seen to have terminated their polling.
Everything seems to be acting accordingly, except for the warning message
that appears on both terminals running the polling script.
Here is the warning message:
Warning: Releasing SysV semaphore id 1 key 0x7b2 in request cleanup in
Unknown on line 0
Is this warning message potentially a problem? Or could I just turn off this
warning in the php.ini? How can I prevent this message from appearing if it
is not potentially dangerous?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
TIA
Michael
All -
I'm looking to see if anyone knows of a php class for menu navigation. I'm
looking for a pure php / html solution and would like to have the following
features:
bread crumb trails like: "Home >> Level 1 >> You are here"
tree style menu navigation (unlimited levels)
tree layout not dependent on html file and directory structure
menu item highlighting based on $PHP_SELF
Okay, so I'm asking for a lot. I'm looking at phplib's tree class and the
new menu class in phplib 0.7. (it's broken). I've also poked around looking
for at a few other solutions but they mostly looked like hacks for the
environment they were developed in.
If no one can turn up anything then I guess I'll start building a class to
meet the above requirements.

IN one of the fields being offered to the user, the
user is expected to enter HTML tags alongwith the
text. How can i display this text as html formatted on
my PHP3 page? What should be the field type in the
mySQL db? should it be TEXT?

That's how it will show by default.

Depends on the size of the data you want the user to be able to input.
CHAR, VARCHAR, TEXT and BLOB will all work.

any kind of field that accepts text (CHAR, VARCHAR, BLOB (TEXT, LONGTEXT)
etc) is OK.
htmlspecialchars will encode that for you and show HTML as HTML visibly.
see here: www.php.net/htmlspecialchars

sounds like a windows bug... and not enough info to diagnose.
why is filename in [] by the way?
you may wish to include more of you connection script as well.
first thing I would try with an error like that is to upgrade your PHP.
sounds like you have .dll's arguing for memory address space - i'm not sure
how to track what the other application is.

Hi,
I have a form that has 4 variables, one, $pass_category, being a select
list. The form posts a php script. Once inside the PHP script if I have not
selected one of the select list variables the value should be blank. If I
echo this out the value shows as blank. However, I later check the value of
the passed select list variable and it passes a "if > "" test which has me
baffled. I don't have this problem with my three other variables that are
just form fields versus a select list. Am I missing something basic or ??
What I'm doing here is building a SQL statement based on form variables. A
snippet of the script is below.
I'd sincerely appreciate any help or guidance!!
Andre
<?php
mysql_close;
$pass_category = $HTTP_POST_VARS["form_cat"];
$pass_company = $HTTP_POST_VARS["form_company"];
$pass_contact = $HTTP_POST_VARS["form_contact"];
$pass_sort = $HTTP_POST_VARS["form_sort"];
if ($debug =="y")
{
echo "Pass_category=$pass_category<br>"; /* This shows as blank */
echo "Pass_company=$pass_company<br>";
echo "Pass_contact=$pass_contact<br>";
echo "Pass_sort=$pass_sort<br>";
}
$db = mysql_pconnect("mysql1:katychamber.com", "katyc2", "katyc2");
...............
...............
if ($pass_category > "") $sql2 = $sql2 . " and cat = '$pass_category' ";
/* this statement passes this test even though it appears to be blank */
...............
what about the form itself?
I see no problems in here (except of course that you disclosed your mySQL
host, login and password)
Cheers,
Maxim Maletsky

Thanks so much for the URLs but they are hardly complete and not at
all succinct. I supposed the POSIX REs because that's what I thought
the PHP docs said. PCREs are good too? Sure seems like the PHP docs
would include this don't you think?
Best, Ted

Gerry,
the following is your problem:
you fetch a row from the query result in each iteration:
> while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
and the use the value of $ID.
> $fn = "/images/$ID.jpg";
you need to fetch the value of the ID column into the ID variable
before. Assuming your select looks like the following:
select ID, description, blah from images;
you need to do something like
$ID = $row[0];
$description = $row[1];
$blah = $row[2];
Or you just change your while condition to
while( list( $ID, $description, $blah ) = mysql_fetch_row( $result ) ) {
Cheers,
Ben
