hello,
you could "start from the end" :)
show the nice page saying "THANKS!!" or something and this page will
call the download script itself with "meta refresh=..." in the <head>
...can't remember the meta refresh syntax right now :)
hope it works,

Are you doing this from inside a function? If so you have to make it
global at the top:
function foo(){
global $HTTP_USER_AGENT;
echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT;
}
Ahh, that's the cause. Here's how to duplicate the error :-)
error_reporting(E_NOTICE);
foo();
function foo()
{
echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT;
}
As Mark mentioned, mind your scope. Regarding the error, I just posted
some information on this perhaps it'll be of some use :

Another solution might be to use javascript to check the fields before
the page is even submitted to make sure they put "something" in the
first and last name fields.
Unfortunately I'm not a javascript person but I've seen it done so much
I'm sure you could find examples on the web or via a web search engine.
As far as your code; I concure with the other posters replies: "" is
empty, " " is a space. I've made the same mistake. Also did the if
($name = "") { } Screwed me up for a bit until I remembered == is
comparison. 8^) Oh well if you don't use it you lose it.
Take it easy.

Thanks for everyone's response. I am still not able to get the
if(($fname="")) {
statement to work even with the suggestions everyone made so I am beginning
to wonder if it is a problem with the server. (It is php3 on an Apache
server. ) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,

H-
Really, that's strange.
Try printing out your variables and seeing what is actually being
passed.
print "FNAME:$fname:\n";
With the : : colons surrounding your variable you can see what if
anything is actually in $fname.
Also it might have been a typo on your part but be sure to check for
single = and double == when using your if statements.
For debugging purposes do simple stuff first.
if ($fname == "") {
print "NOTHING HERE\n";
// header("Location: http://callook.org/member_joinform.html");
} else {
print "Got Something: FNAME:$fname:\n";
if (1 == 2) {
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "name", "password");
mysql_select_db("dBase",$db);
$sql = "INSERT INTO
members
(fname,lname,address,city,state,zip,country,email,username,password)
VALUES
('$fname','$lname','$address','$city','$state','$zip','$country','$email','$user
name','$password')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
} # end if block commentor for multipe line comments. It's cleaner. 8^)
} end if-else check.
Hope this is helpful.

Thanks everyone for all the responses.
I think I'll look into sessions in the future. Meanwhile I'll have to see
what others come up with.
Thanks,

I have a listing of photos in a table as follows (not actual column names):
Image Name, Image Width, Image Height, Band Name, Venue, City, State, Date
I would like to have a list of the different bands with photos in the
archive. There may be 120 photos of any one band, but I would like to
select the name of the band only one time and have it printed in the list.
Is there a MySQL function that would do this, or should I just put the
different bands into a separate table?
Any help would be appreciated.

Split the table up into 3 tables, one for bands, one for pictures, and one
for the venue.
table_bands
fields---
band_id (pk)
band_name
table_pictures
fields---
picture_id (pk)
band_id (fk)
venue_id (fk)
picture_name
picture_width
picture_height
table_venue
fields---
venue_id (pk)
venue_name
venue_city
venue_state
venue_date
Read this and you can see how I came up with the tables. Its covers the 4
Forms of Normalization.
http://www.newbienetwork.net/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=17
I think you mean distict, as in
$query = "SELECT DISTINCT band_name FROM table WHERE ...";

I'm sorry to jump in mid-stream here (I've been offline for a while), but
was
$constant_value=${constant_name};
suggested?
eval's spook me, so I would prefer this solution over the working
suggestion you received.
This works for me on 4.0.4:
$test_name="ta_dah";
define("constant_name","test_name");
$constant_value=${constant_name};
echo $constant_value;

Try this example :

$index = 1;
${$array[$index] . '_type'} = 'foo';
print $b_type; // prints foo

Hello,
Is there a way to get spacing between
$row["City"],$row["State"] in the html output?
I've tried echo "$row["City"], nbsp; $row["State"]";
and a bunch of other things and get Parse error: parse
error, expecting `STRING' or `NUM_STRING' or `'$'' .
The way I want the output is as follows:
Duluth MN but I get DuluthMN
Thank you
--Mike

Hi Mike,
Try this little test :
<?php
// Our array :
$row = array('city' => 'Seattle', 'state' => 'Washington');
// Can do in PHP4 :
print "{$row['city']} {$row['state']}";
// Can do anytime :
print $row['city'] . ' ' . $row['state'];
?>
Not sure when "{$array['index']}" came about exactly but iirc it's not
allowed in PHP3. Concatenating your strings is always available and
works wonderfully.

Philip

Is there a way to have an ordinary href link call some javascript and say "are
you sure blah blah blah?" and then once you hit Ok it calls the same php file
which then does all the database stuff?
I know I can do this just by creating another PHP file and having the link
call that, but it seems like it would be nicer to have this in the same file.
Thanks!

But then how would you process it in the same file? If I'm calling it from
myfile and my link is to myfile then how does it know that it's already been
clicked?

well you can make the url be:
myfile?clicked=true
then do
if(isset($clicked)){
// do stuff
}

Just check the value of the submit variable.
If it's populated, then the form has been clicked.

Brad,
Thanks for the response. Either method they both work via command

heh,
dunno, maybe the $PATH environment var doesn't include /sbin or /usr/sbin.
Test w 'ls' see if you can get a directory listing, at least?

Hi folks
I mailed this to the list some time ago, but it seems to have got
"lost" so here is is again...
I had 2 suggestions from the list:
1) indirection - $constant_value = $$constant_name ;
I had already tried this, but couldn't get it to work. Unless I am
missing something it just gives an "Undefined Variable" error.
2) eval("\$constant_value = $constant_name;") ;
This does work. Thanks Paul and CC!
Geoff Caplan
Art,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I think there is a flaw in your
solution.
The original issue was how to get at the value of a constant where the
$constant_name is dynamically created as a variable.
In your solution you have defined constant_name as a constant!
So when you assign it, it does, of course, behave as a constant.
I don't think the ${...} notation is doing anything - it is just being
ignored by the parser so far as I can see ...
AW> $test_name="ta_dah";
AW> define("constant_name","test_name");
AW> $constant_value=${constant_name};
Geoff Caplan
My apologies for assuming too much of the variable names. Thank you for
correcting me.
Your response has caused me good confusion though. If I remove the ${...}
notation I get quite a different output (specifically, there's no output).
Are you sure the parser ignores it?
This is the code I suggested WITHOUT the ${...} that returns nothing.
$test_name="ta_dah";
define("constant_name","test_name");
$constant_value=$constant_name;
echo $constant_value;
And I wonder too if my odd usage of ${...} notation is improper in
variables. When I want to create a dynamically named variable (as opposed
to my off-topic constant example), I use:
${$variable_name}="value";
or even
${"fixed_string".$variable_name}="value";
I hope I'm not going against sane practices in doing so.

I suppose you must download file before reading.
There are so many ways to protect file with passwords. We need to specify how
files are protected to help you.
i.e. Is it FTP? Protected by a proxy? WWW Basich Auth or Custom authentication?

Hello,
i have this code:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)) {
$tmp = get_item_reorder_priority($row["item_sku"]);
$list[$r]["priority"] = $tmp[0];
$list[$r]["sku"] = $row["item_sku"];
$r++;
}
$list = array_multisort($list["priority"], SORT_NUMERIC, SORT_DESC);
and it returns this error:
Warning: Argument 1 to array_multisort() is expected to be an array or a
sort flag in d://www/inventory_specific.phtml on line 109
function get_item_reorder_priority() returns an array - with $tmp[0] being
an integer 1-5
$row["item_sku"] is simply a string.
I'm trying to sort by priority numbers (1-5). Any help would be
appreciated.

Umm, dunno about anybody else but it appears as if you are missing a
dimension..
In the array creation:
$list[$r]["priority"]
is used.. emphasis on the [$r] part.
When trying to re-order, you are using just $list["priority"]. missing the
[$r] dimension..
bkx
I'm still confused. I'm looking to sort the list[$r] part of the array based
on what value $list[$r]["priority"] is. What would the function's arguments
be?

Hi,
i'm not that much into mail functions but my manual tells
me that impa_delete selects a message to be deleted.
imp_expunge delets all selected messages.
look into the correct syntax

Thanks for all the help. I finally got it to work. I ended up using a bunch
of if ($lname=="") { statements instead of if (($lname=="") ||
($fname=="")) { and that seems to be working. I still can't get the
header() statement to work. So I just cheated and put in some text telling
the user to hit the back button and fill out the rest of the information on
the form.

Hi,
for the haeder just make sure that there is NO output
whatsoever before the header-call. even if line 1 of your
script is empty before the <?php-tag the header doesn't work.

Hi, can someone point me toward a tutorial that shows how to register info
(e.g. username, login status, and user preferences) and do this in a session
without using cookies... is this even possible?
thanks!
duirfire
You can use URL mode for PHP4 session if you want session w/o cookie.
How about read this link?

I'm working with some forms that need the data validated. Dates, times etc.
my question is, how do I "reset" the form back to the original screen with variables
intact so they can make the changes?
is there a code snippet some place i can work with?
thanks,
chris
Chris,
Go to www.thickbook.com. Julie Meloni has a tutorial there which gives you
exactly what you want. It's the one which has to do with custom error
messages, which , believe or not, are on the subject of data validation.

Okay, here is the question, I have a form that will continue to grow in the
number of elements that it contains. The values are passed into a function,
and then written out to a file.
Currently, I have 38 seperate values that are being passed into this
function, making the arguments for the function very long. Now, I know I
can pass an array into a function, however, I would like to know if there
was a way to name the elements of the form as in an array, for example:
<input name="array[1]" type="text">
<input name="array[2]" type="text">
<input name="array[3]" type="text">
<input name="array[4]" type="text">
and then, rather than having to pass all 38 seperate arguements into the
function, I could simply pass the array like this:
function_name($array);
And then simply dissect the array inside the function like normal?
Thanks

<input name="array[]" type="text">
i used something like this in a series of checkbox's to grab all the
values in an array....i'm not sure if it can be used in this way though,
but give it a go...

Hi!
Is there any possibility to import an existing pdf file in PHP 4.0.4pl1
(pdflib 3.0.3) to modify it?
Thanks in advance!
Ciao

Hi,Hi,
I have this code below which is supposed to be generating a password like
QCCQCN2-IUZ with 10 characters - All but three in the first section (7) and
three in the last part - but does not work in all cases. Sometimes it prints
LPSA3WD-IM or G22G2G9-FC.
Is there a catch in the code that will stuff up in certain circumstances?
Please help,
Matt stone

Count returns number of elements in array, so you should substrct 1. i.e.
$randy = (($mode)? rand(0, count($all)-1) : rand(0, count($allend)-1));
Then should work all the time.

This worked for me as well, and helped me with a problem I was having!
How would you show what option was selected in a drop down box. I have a
form the user fills out, this goes to a confirmation page to ensure the data
enetered is correct. I have a drop down box for states, and I cant seem to
make it show the state selected it always defaults to first choice?
Thanks

I thought about doing it this way, but repeating this 50 times seems a bit
ineffecient, perhaps i am looking for a shortcut that does not exist? I had
hoped I was missing something obivious.

am not sure if it would work or not but maybe if you tried
$foo= if ($areacode == '$bar') { echo
'SELECTED '; }
<SELECT NAME="foo"> <OPTION VALUE="bar"<? $foo ?>>foo bar</OPTION>

I've built a function for displaying drop down lists: yours for free. Oh
look, Ive even bothered to comment it ;-) It will show selected item[s]
Somebody will no doubt post improvements.
<?php
/* formDropDown - create an HTML <SELECT>
* vars: $name - the form variable NAME
* $value - the SELECTED option which may be an array for multiple
selected items
* $labels - assoc. array, list of values=>labels
* $multiple - if non-empty, select multiple
* $size - number of rows to show if multiple
* returns: string, HTML (i.e. for use in echo or print statement) */
function formDropDown($name,$value,$labels,$multiple = '',$size ='') {
$html = '<SELECT NAME="' .$name . '"';
if(!empty($multiple)) {
$html .= ' MULTIPLE';
}
if(!empty($size)) {
$html .= ' SIZE=' . $size;
}
$html .= ">\n";
$key = key($labels);
while($key != "") {
/* Check if the current value is in the $value variable */
if(is_array($value)) {
if(in_array($key,$value)) {
$selected = ' SELECTED';
} else {
$selected = '';
}
} else {
if ($key == $value) {
$selected = ' SELECTED';
} else {
$selected = '';
}
}
$html .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"$key\"$selected>$labels[$key]\n";
next($labels);
$key = key($labels);
}
$html .= "</SELECT>\n";
return $html;
}
?>
How do I store (and update) an array within a session...
Like I'd have
<?php
session_start();
$time["page1"]="20";
//here, should I do this?
session_register("time["page1"]");
//or this?
session_register("time");
?>
cuz I'll have more pages...
$time["page20"]="300";
is this going to automatically load into the session vars or I have to do
something first?

It should work with this.
FYI. If you set register globals off and enable track vars on in your php.ini.
(It may work with other settings, but this is what I use)You don't even have to
write
$var = "session var";
session_register("var");
session_unregister("var");
Instead, you can write
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['var'] = "value you want to store in session";
unset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['var']); // to unregister from session

No.
When I learn new languages, I usually write a lot of simple codes to make sure I
correctly understands how it works. I suggest to do that.

You can also check the log that PHP creates as configure is run:
config.log in the top level of the unpacked distribution.

Should you not have a full hostname as the argument for -h ?

I'm attempting to write a chat which streams HTML. There's a problem with the
main function that's responsible for 'streaming'. It loops endlessly and if
anytihng new appears in the database, it parses it into HTML and outputs it
via the echo command. The chatboxDisplay method is what is responsible for
parsing and echoing the message and the HTML for it. This is the problem
code. The code is syntactically correct; it runs, in fact, if you remove the
while stuff, it DOES work, except for the fact that it doesn't 'stream' like
it should (Because it's not looping. It fires the output and the script
ends). So when I put the while brackets back on to make it 'stream', there's
no output. (as in, in netscape 4.7x it doesn't send much anything. the screen
remains grey and just perpetually loads nothing) Any ideas as to what the
heck is going on?
Thanks.
-------
while (1) {
$posts=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM chat ORDER BY date DESC;") or die
("Query failed line 111");
$data=mysql_fetch_array($posts);
while ($data=mysql_fetch_array($posts)) {
chatboxDisplay($data);
if ($data[id] > $id) { $id = $data[id]; }
}
flush();
sleep(2);
}
you can't stream output like that.......netscape will wait until your
HTML output is done, but if you're infinitely looping, it won't be, and
you'll never get your </body></html> tags.....i've seen a number of
posts trying to do chats and flush() the output, but bottom line, if you
don't send it a complete html file, it won't be happy.....one
suggestion: you could try sending a complete file, then refreshing it
every few seconds.....but, there would be better ways to do this (like
java)

Netscape will not neccessarily wait for </BODY> and </HTML>, but it
won't layout a table until it hits a </TABLE>. If the output's all in
a table, this'd cause it. You should also ensure that any <IMG> tags
have WIDTH="" and HEIGHT="" attributes set appropriately as it can
increase layout time otherwise.

I've an interesting problem that after using php to restart SAMBA the server
no longer parses php to that particular browser.
This is really really weird!!
The situation is that I've built a php tool to restart server services such
as atalk and samba. Starting/Restarting/Stopping atalk works beautifully
however, restarting SAMBA kills something???
the PHP I'm using to do the restart is:
$test = shell_exec("/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart &");
echo "<br>test: $test<br>";
echo "<br>samba restarted";
I've tried with and without the "&" to run it as a background process.
I've tried with shell_exec and exec commands.
I even tried writing a script which does the restart and just get PHP to run
the script.
none were successful.
$test echoes out exactly what it should when restarting SAMBA ie. shutting
down details and then start up details.
I've even tried using "exit()" after my script and it still won't work.
what it does it that after I run the page with the script I can no longer
load pages served from that particular server with php content on them. So I
can still view plain html pages after running the script. Weirder still, PHP
has not crashed because I can pull up another browser from the same computer
and view everything fine. When trying to access the php pages basically the
browser keeps spinning away and eventually times out.
To get the browser to access php content pages on this server I have to quit
and restart my browser.
madness!!!
It's like php just refuses to allow connections from that browser after this
command is run???
I've no idea where to begin trouble shooting this one. I've tried everything
I can think of and I'm out of ideas. So if anyone could help me with this it
would be fantastic!!!

I've noticed there isn't really a jumping off point for the PHP-GTK beginners
and users. I spent the last few hours throwing a site together that has the
basics to fill this void.
It has:
1.) An application archive
2.) News
3.) Discussion
4.) Helpful Links
I've put up one of my initial apps and plan to put up a few others and maybe
a small HOWTO. I'd like the people who have been posting apps to take a few
minutes to post their apps here as well. Also, anyone who was thinking of
posting their apps it might be better served if we posted them in a more
central location. Finally, if anyone wants to help out (admin, howtos, etc.)
please feel free to contact me.
As for me, I'm tired and plan on working on it more tomarrow :o)

Thanks for doing that.
I'm PHP developer and I've been following this list for a while and I've been
looking around for a good place to start on PHP-GTK and not finding it.

I got a question here. How would you go about calling variables from a form. I'm sure
this is super-easy, but I'm a newbie. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The input type name is the variable so say you have
<input type="text" name="foo"> your variable = $foo

Just prefix the form object names with $
Say you have a text box set up like so:
<FORM ACTION=check.php METHOD=GET>
<input type="text" name="avail" value="">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
and in check.php
<?php echo $avail; ?>
will show the value entered in the text box

File system functions. fopen the file you want to put the data in, fwrite
the values from the variable(s) to the file and fclose the file at the
end of the process.
Note the ways you can open a file with fopen; and be aware of file
permission problems because this is done as the user the web server runs
as (*nix, dunno about windows).

ok here's the script i have, and i keep getting errors
<?
$fp = fopen("file.txt", "w");
$fp = fputs("file.txt", "<a href=\"$url\">$text</a><br>", "r+");
$fp = fclose("file.txt");
echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"$fp\">";
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"url\" size=\"20\" value=\"http://\">";
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"text\" size=\"20\">";
echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Generate New Link\">";
echo "</form>";
?>
what's wrong with it. it says it's with the fputs and fclose things.

It would, I suppose, even without seeing the actual errors. fputs and
fwrite want a file pointer, ie the value returned by fopen, as the first
argument. And if there is a third argument, it should be the number of
bytes to be written, not something that looks like a fopen mode :-)
fclose also wants a file pointer not a name.
$fp = fopen("file.txt", "w");
$result = fputs($fp, "<a href=\"$url\">$text</a><br>");
fclose($fp);
You probably don't need the $result in the second line, but if you
wanted, you could use it to confirm writing of stuff before closing or
whatever.
You could use single quotes to delimit the string you are writing; then
you wouldn't need to escape the double quotes - in the example you show.

Hi,
I am curious to know why you need to use the /n, and what it actually does,
because I had a page that used them, and i removed them all and it still
works fine.
Also, is it seen as good or bad practive to use \" only when required or all
the time.
i.e
echo "<img src=test.gif>"; //Doesn't need to use \"
echo "<img src=test.gif alt=\"Test Image\">"; //Only need to use it on the
alt text.
Just curious, and also keen to learn this with the good practice method.

As far as the HTML output, it wont affect how it shows up on the screen,
but if you look at the HTML code, you will notice everything is on 1
big-ass long line.
Using a /n at the end of an echo or print statement will put a carriage
return at the end so your HTML code is more pleasant to view and makes it
alot easier to view when you are trying to work out any problems in HTML
layouts.
>Also, is it seen as good or bad practive to use \" only when required or all
>the time.
My general rule of thumb is to use \" whenever I need a "
in general, I avoid using quotes where possible (such as in the following)
<font size=3 face=Arial> (instead of <font size=\"3\" face=\"Arial\">)
But for things like ALT tags, I use \" because spaces are required in the
value of the ALT tag.

Have a look here (the main manual is down this second) :
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
An example use is as follows :
<?php
echo "<table>\n";
echo "\t<tr>\n";
echo "\t\t<td>hi</td>\n";
echo "\t</tr>";
echo "</table>\n";
?>
The HTML source will look like :
<table>
<tr>
<td>hi</td>
</tr>
</table>
But if NO \n's or \t's were used, the HTML source would have looked like :
<table><tr><td>hi</td></tr></table>
It makes for pretty HTML source huh? Granted with the above example
we'd write it as plain HTML but it's an example :) Also such whitespace
is important when sending mail. Also, some related information exists
around here :

Escape quotes as you need them. In the above case I'd probably either
just write it as HTML or do this :
echo '<img src="test.gif" alt="Test Image">';
Single quotes can be in double, double can be in single. In this case
single quotes are better as PHP doesn't have to interpet anything within
single quotes, they're faster! Check out this tutorial for useful advice
on using strings (and quotes) :

Umm, it's a newline, and it should be used as \n (not /n). It's a C style
escape for the new-line character. I beleive using \r will insert a
carrige-return. Anyway, same sort of difference (depending on the
editor).. puts the following text on the next line...
NOTE: *nix text files just use a Newline at the end of each line. DOS
(windows) files use a \r\n pair at the end of each line (Carrige-return,
line feed). To make sense of this, think of a type writer or an old
dot-matrix printer.. carrige return: you've moved the print head back to
the left.. newline/linefeed, rolled through one line.

Lets show an example:
echo "This is a string";
would print out:
This is a string
however:
echo "This is a "string"";
would spit out a pasing error. The quoted string (") ends at:
This is a
however, 'string' and the following "'s would not encasing anything.
Rule of thumb: If you are using double quotes to enclose a string, but you
want double quotes within as well, use \" (called escaping). Same goes for
the $ symbol. within quotes, if you want the symbol to show up, use \$.
Otherwise, it'd try to evaluate it as variable!
This is all documented err, somewhere *digs though manuals*, but strangely
enough I can't find it :-|
hope this helps.

I'm facing a problem with Special Characters ($, %, &,
\, /, ;, :, ", ') etc......
We are sending a varibale in a query string like this
:
<a href="add_pro_team.php3?title=<? echo
urlencode($title) ?>">
with $title containing multiple words & these special
characters, it is not passed. I get an error.
Without urlencode, multiple words are not passed with
the "+" signs. And with URLENCODE, the special
characters are not processes giving an error? what do
i do?
Also, if someone enters any of these special
characters in text areas or fields provided to them -
and they have to be entered into the database - the
entering is done successfully, but getting values back
from database to print on the page gives an error. How
to work through these special characters in a way that
they can be entered & extracted back from database &
also passed in query strings as is without errors??

Hey all,
I know you do not want to hear this question but after reading the list
archives and doing extensive searches with google I have a really large
internet headache, so here we go:
Where do I get a browscap.ini file that is current and will work in Linux?
The one suggested in the manual doesn't seem do work properly, it only
outputs 2 lines under ie5.5:
browser_name_pattern: blah blah
parent: gobbely gook ascii
I found another but it parse errors for no apparent reason.
What is the deal? Any tips regarding detecting browser capabilties would
be great (mainly js and cookies)
Any help always appreciated,
Regards,
Joseph
