did u change the password with 'phpmyadmin' ?
u did ? ok then restart mysql !!!!
the passwords load when mysql starts up... at least when u change it via 'phpmyadmin'
havent played much with command line password mods... may not need the restart.
i just pounded my head with the prob last week... running redhat with mysql PHP combo.
all worked after i restarted the mysql service from command line.

It doesn't include the table name. Use name, albumid, etc.

So is $formsave['dob'] being changed before you get to this code,
causing the check to fail? What else are you doing with
$formsave['dob']? Nothing here is going to cause it to drop a zero from
the end.
Your code doesn't make much sense, though. If the ereg() fails, $parts
is not going to have any value, so why are you referencing $part[1],
$part[2], etc... ?

$parts has been removed as I found I didn't need it there, but the problem
still exists. This part of code however may be causing the problem, although
I thought trim only stripped white space.....?. $formsave['dob'] is a
session variable. I have also found now that leading 0's are also being
stripped.
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $varname => $value)
$formsave[$varname] = trim($value, 50);
If it's not there then the whole script fails.

This is what I get when I echo $formsave["dob"] - 9/09/199. It was
inputted as 09/09/1990.

Just some more information. It appears that the session variable
$formsave["dob"] is causing the problem. If I echo the input $_POST['dob']
it shows correctly, but when it's put into $formsave["dob"] the leading and
ending 0's are being stripped.

Why do you have the 50 there in the trim() function? That's what's
causing your problems. You're removing all fives and zeros from the
beginning and end of your string, along with any white space.

Having read the whole thread it seems that you're only disclosing information
when it's been totured out of you :)
May I suggest that in order to save yourself and other people's time that you
give FULL and ACCURATE information.
For example, at the start of the thread you're pinning the blame on your ereg,
then you're saying the session variable is the problem. Only after it has
been pointed out to you that what you say you're doing cannot possibly have
the effect that you say you're seeing, do you finally disclose that you're
using trim() on the vital variables.
Put simply, if you had posted your full and unadulterated code right from the
start then this thread should/would/could have been resolved in about 2
posts. Saving time and frustration for everyone involved.

I posted the information as I had it. I had no idea what the problem was and
posted the information I thought was FULL and ACCURATE - if this isn't good
enough - then maybe I'll look for another list where people are a little
more forgiving of new users. Remember, you were in my shoes once.

Jeez, my suggestion was to make it easier for others to help you. If you
insist you can always continue to post your question in installments (don't
forget a teaser to whet people's appetite for the next episode). And yes, you
can also look for another list if you want. These are all your choices.

This likely won't get through, but if it does. Post a real address so these

Does this bug also applies to passing variables in an URL.
I'v noticed that when the directive register_globals is set to off as it is
recommended in the php.ini file no variables are passed on to other pages.
Switching it to on would be the simplest solution, but scripts like
phpMyAdmin do not seem to have these problems.
Any idea or suggestion.

hi,
i have seen some script using a unique method.they grab all the global
variables in a array and then unset the global variables.ofcourse they are
not handling file uploads.i think its a good idea if you are not uploading
files.
any suggestions are welcome

Frank,
John's answer applies to Apache 2.44 as well. I'm not sure how you interpreted
his advice against using Apache 2 to mean that an upgrade would solve your
problem. He recommended using the latest Apache 1.3.x.
The likely reason you are having trouble with register_globals is that you need
to reference GET variables as $_GET['blah'] instead of $blah. The archives are
filled with helpful information on this, as this question is asked a few times
a day.
Hope that helps.
Chris

The variables are passed, you just have to reference them as
$_GET['variable'] or $_POST['variable'], which is also mentioned many
times in the manual.

Hi!
I hope this is the right place to ask this kind of question, otherwise I
apologize.
I would like some advice, this is the situation:
We´re using IIS today and unfortunate we will have to cope with this
situation for a long time ahead.
There are plans for using Apache on Linux but not right now (not even
Apache on Win).
A great deal of work has been done in coding ASP (towards an Access-DB) :(
Now we´re going to replace Access with either MySQL or possibly PostgreSQL.
Since we in the future would like to run Apache on Linux instead of IIS
on Win, it would be great to code all new functions in PHP instead of
ASP (and nicer code too).
I have done some experiments with PHP on IIS (towards MySQL) and it all
seems to work just fine.
My questions for you:
1) Is there a penelty/drawback when coding PHP instead of ASP on IIS
(towards MySQL)?
2) Do you see any problems in having both ASP-code and PHP-code on the
same server (it seems to work fine for me)?
3) (on the edge of topic) Do you have any comments or thoughts
concerning the choice of DB. MySQL appears to like Win more than
Postgres, or?
Many thanks in advance!
Jesper

No, not really. I'm sure ASP has some little tricks built in that you'd
have to recreate in PHP, but the two are basically the same, regardless
of the OS.

No.

MySQL seems to be more cross platform and more popular, but PG has a
larger feature set. Depends totally upon the complexity of your project
which one you use.

My advice is to first get REALLY comfortable with sessions in a non-framed
environment... get a grip on logging in, logging out, showing different code
for logged in members, restricting a user from doing something more than
once, etc etc.
THEN try to get it happening in a framed environment.
As discussed by John, you will have to force a refresh for any frame to be
"aware" of a recently logged in user, and you will have to do a lot of
checking when receiving a form or request in each of these frames, to ensure
there is a user logged in, etc.
As per ANY session stuff between pages, you need to propogate the session id
either through the URL to each frame (or hope that trans-sid takes care of
it), or rely on the user having cookies enabled.
To point out the really obvious, <? session_start(); ?> needs to be called
on the top of the script for EACH FRAME.

I am trying to parse an XML file that looks like the following
snippet:
<latest_news>
<item id="1">
<date>12/03/03</date>
<title>New benefits to members</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[hello :)<BR>Hello ]]>
</description>
</item>
</latæst_news>
however it will not parse (doesnt display anything) when I put the
CDATA line on the same line as the description and put the close tag
on the same line as well then all works fine, this is ok in this
exmple but it is of little use when the CDATA contains many lines or
is complicated etc is there a way to solve this? I have attaced the
PHP code I am using below but can not see anything wrong with it ??
Many Thanks
Toby.

Yeah... the same way you made your web server parse files with a .php
extension. Just repeat the same procedure for a .css extension.

Where does PHP.net stand? Is it GNU or OpenSource or both?
What's the difference between www.GNU.org and
www.OpenSource.org?
I have been reading:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/intro.html but
don't get what DiBona, Ockman & Stone mean. OpenSource permits
folks like RedHat to distribute a paid CD, GNU doesn't?
OpenSource permits greating a module or plugin to work with a
Microsoft product and GNU doesn't?

This is a list for questions about PHP. Look in the titlebar of your
browser when you go to www.php.net to see what the acronym stands for.
Beyond that, please take this stuff somewhere else.

He was asking *where* PHP stands (regarding licenses), not *what* PHP
stands for. Maybe PHP FAQ should have something about licenses.

The call to include() must be relative to one of the directories listed in
open_basedir, regardless of which file the call is made from.
Usually the dir mentioned in open_basedir is the docroot, so in your case
require "include/inc_file.php";
should work from any file, in any folder.
