date() expects a UNIX timestamp to be passed to it. MySQL does not store
dates as a UNIX timestamp in DATE, DATETIME, or TIMESTAMP columns.
strtotime() will take a MySQL timestamp, though, and convert it to a
UNIX timestamp.
Also look into using DATE_FORMAT() in your query to format the data
there so you don't have to do anything in PHP.

Thanks John, your answer is right on the $$$.
Changing the query to something like : SELECT
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(ProblemStart) as ProblemStart
solved the problem.
Do i feel sheepish... actually double sheepish cause i already solved
this
long ago and forgot about it :(

Thanks for your help. Also, I checked out your tutorial and Apache and PHP.
I have Apache installed, and I am using it for backend work. I have been
using Perl, but have discovered PHP, and want to be able to use it on the
command line. Another email told me the solution.
Replace the shebang line with <?PHP and end the script with ?>
And that is how simple the fix was, and now I am going to rewrite all of my
batch files and perl scripts using PHP. I do need a little more
understanding of Apache and will be studying your Apache tutorial. Thanks

You need a web server in order to run the scripts (unless you are
strictly doing it command line).
I have a tutorial that shows you how to setup Apache with PHP on
Windows (its not OS specific, but it can be applied to any Windows
version).
Here is the link <http://www.meidomus.com/archives/000059.php>
Please read the use comments, and if you have any questions, you can

In my opinion, no. But Perl has a big head start on php when it comes
to system scripts (not to mention that PHP is designed for web based
applications). I can easily forsee PHP taking over Perl in the system
area (course, they may both fall out of favor as more and more people
are using languages like Python and TCL for system scripts).

Don't have the possibilities to try it out now, but I think you are wrong:
Example:
class Parent {
protected $var = "test";
function blah($somevar) {
...
}
}
class Child extends Parent {
...
}
$parent = new Parent;
print $parent->var; //ouputs "test"
This will error out, you access a protected variable that is accessible
only from the class itself or derived classes (using $this->var).
$child = new Child;
print $child->var; //outputs nothing
Gives error for the same reason as above. But if you declare a public
method in Child class:
function getVar() {
return $this->var;
}
, then this would work:
print $child->getVar();
as you can see $var is only accessible by objects that are specifically
Parents, not Children.
Protected variables are accessible also from derived classes, private
are not. But both are NOT accessible from outside (e.g. using $a=new A;
$a->var;), but only from within class methods (using $this->var).

The upload process, already collects info on file types when you upload.
From the manual ->
$_FILES['userfile']['type']
The mime type of the file, if the browser provided this

So, check $_FILES['userfile']['type'] against a set of allowed file
types, and you're set...

A client-supplied value isn't going to be too useful - it can be spoofed, or
may not be present. (I believe a Windows browser would set the mime-type
based purely on the file extension, though I haven't tested this myself).

This is the most-benefit least-effort choice if it's available, though I
believe that flag has been changed since 4.32[?]

Then my apologies. I thought php determined the file type on upload,
and not rely on user input as your're saying.
Makes me rethink some of my own code :)

True xsl(t) is a language in and of itself along with xpath, xpointer,
and a host of others.
However, it is safe to point out that this is another alternative that
can be reviewed. It possibly may be the hardest to incorporate; however,
it needs to be mentioned as well.

Not to sure how they work together in a php environment, however another
alternative it so use php in a java (servlet,j2ee) environment. It is
harder to set up, however, there are not as many errors. Sometimes there
is a performance increase.

First of all I apology for my poor use of English of my newbish(?)
questions because I didn't find any solutions the first time I e-mailed
this list. What my problem is:
I am on a server that has these configurations like these:
http://kainga.quasarnet.org/php.php . Let's say my username is user1 and
server files' owner is httpd . I have a script in my public html dir
that tries to fopen("./somefile.txt", "w") [note: is_writable for this
file returns false but its permissions are rw-rw-r--) but it always
fails. However, when the servers' owner changed the somefile.txt's owner
to httpd the script could write to it without any problem. Is there any
way that I can make the script write to somefile.txt without changing
its owner to httpd (I even changed the file's permissions to rwx-rwx-rwx
and it still wouldn't let the script write to it)? I really need help
with this and I hope it can be solved easily.
PS. Whatever I did PHP would return false on is_writable, which returned
true when the file's owner changed to httpd.
Thank you in advance,
Arty2

Is there a way to make for example:
// (Column info)
// String 1:
[This column holds
[Col 1]
[Col 2]]
[This second column holds
[Col 3]
[Col 4]]
// (Row)
// String 2:
[Col 1 (row1)]
[Col 2 (row1)]
[Col 3 (row1)]
[Col 4 (row1)]
// (Row)
// String 3:
[Col 1 (row2)]
[Col 2 (row2)]
[Col 3 (row2)]
[Col 4 (row2)]
// How do I turn the above strings into a table?
// Like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>This column holds</td>
<td colspan=2>This second column holds</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Col 1</td>
<td>Col 2</td>
<td>Col 3</td>
<td>Col 4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Col 1 (row 1)</td>
<td>Col 2 (row 1)</td>
<td>Col 3 (row 1)</td>
<td>Col 4 (row 1)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Col 1 (row 2)</td>
<td>Col 2 (row 2)</td>
<td>Col 3 (row 2)</td>
<td>Col 4 (row 2)</td>
</tr>
</table>
You get the idea...
So, any idea how to do that?
I want it to work correctly no matter how many rows and columns there are.

Hey...
I have a question. I need to be able to try to perform a database update,
but if it doesn't succeed, I need to be able to rollback the changes, and to
inform the user that the changes didn't succeed.
I've looked at the MySql site, and can see somewhat how the Commit/RollBack
functions work. However, I'm not sure how to create the required PHP code to
implement this kind of process...
Basically I need to:
Create query...
Perform Update on the table(s)
Perform my check(s)
If the checks fail
alert user
rollback updates
else
success
It's my understanding that I need to somehow set "START TRANSACTION" prior
to beginning the update. But I'm not sure how to do that within the PHP
code... Nor am I sure if there's something else I need to do...
Any examples/hints/sample code will be appreciated. Thanks for any
assistance!

Bruce

if($error)

{ $rsx = mysql_query("COMMIT"); }
Use mysql_error() or mysql_errno() to see if an error occurred.

Hi,
I'm trying to replace newlines with something else. For this example
I'll use <br> as the thing to replace a newline with. This is what I
tried and it doesn't work.
$article = str_replace("\n", "<br>", $article);
What am I doing wrong? $article is the string to replace the newlines
in. I tried this with a period and that works as expected. Can I not
replace newlines this way?
Thanks,

But in the general case, your code looks ok to me.
echo (str_replace("\n", "<br>", "foo\nbar"));
returns "foo<br>bar" here. Maybe $article doesn't contain what you think it
does?
(BTW, I prefer to replace "\n" with "<br>\n", but that's just a style
thing.)

Perhaps. When getting text from a form field, what is substituted for a
newline (i.e. when someone hits enter).

You can work it out for yourself. Run over the string, displaying each
character as it's ASCII equivalent with ord(). Eg
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($article); $i++) {
echo ("'" . $article[$i] . "'=" . ord($article[$i]) . ', ');
}
(My guess is that you're seeing the difference between a wrapped line and
the user explicitly hitting enter)

It's really strange because I type the following into the form field.
Test
Test

And get this as output.

Do form fields not preserve spacing or line breaks?

Hello,
This is a reply to an e-mail that you wrote on Sun, 13 Jul 2003 at 23:12,
lines prefixed by '>' were originally written by you.
Maybe the browser you are using to fill in the form field is using a
different type of line break. Although I have never seen it done, r by
itself can be used to cause a line break and if that is being done your
code will not be detecting it.

I'm not the admin on the server, so I'll have to manage with the software
provided. And that is php 4.0.6.
I've tried a number of ways to store variables in the session file. This
works:
session_start();
$foo = 'bar';
session_register('foo');
then after session_write_close(); or end of script:
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo']; will output 'bar'.
just adding variables directly into the HTTP_SESSION_VARS array won't make
them stick in the session file. Use of session_register() seems to be
required.

Hi,
I have this need/want to grab information from sites for my own
usage and wondering how to do it.
Here's an example.
1. Log into finance.yahoo.com (assuming I need to log on)
2. Type the list of shares I want
3. Let Yahoo process it
4. Use PHP or some other scripting language to pull the data and put it into
my database.
Is this possible at all?
Cheers,

assuming the login isn't necessary (which it probably is), you could use
something like Snoopy (http://sourceforge.net/projects/snoopy/) to POST/GET the
required web page and process as required.

Hi,
Unfortunately, Yahoo.com is just an example.. The site really does
need Login.
The thing is this, I'm developing for an internal site, (My dept) but I need
to access other dept's site to get info but unfortunately They won't give me
access to query the db directly. Prefering me to go through the site and
input accordingly to grab the data.
I just find this to be "SO" troublesome as I need to get this data
for every week. Week In.. Week Out and for a lot of items..
But I will take a look at SNOOPY. (hey.. isn't the name snoopy
copyrighted??)

Why don't you use MSN services to get quotes. MSN does care for login. I am
using this to get quotes after 15 minutes on my Cell Phone.
I am using culr functions to get it.

This, most certainly OT, is a plea for fellow developers oriented in
OpenSource solutions to help resolve a problem in case you have dealt with
it before. I have written a PHP app that uses function keys at times to
help speed data processing for my client VIA javascript. This app works
fine when the client is using IE or Netscape on the windows platform.
However, when the client is on Linux, the function keys are not being
captured on Mozilla or Netscape. I presented this problem in my Javascript
mailing list and on the RedHat mailing list and no one seems to have had any
experience dealing with it and consequently I haven't a work around. My
apologies for presenting a clearly OT question, but I know there are a ton
of experienced developers here and I reaching for someone who might have
dealt with this.
