has anyone gotten php to compile with gd 2.0? i know gd 2.0 is still in
beta, but i was able to compile and install it without any problems. when
compiling php, however, i end up with some error in regards to the libmysql
extension. if i switch back to gd 1.8, all works fine.

hey,
i'm designing a small shopping cart w/ cookies where the cookie is used as
an array (the array id being the product id) and the array value being the
number of items selected. anyways, for the most part everything works fine,
but with certain items if they're added to the cart, they get added, but
unfortunately do not display in the cart until a few other items are added
(the quantity of that product continues to increase regardless of whether or
not it's shown in the cart). i have absolutely no idea why this is
happening, and feel like i've tried most things that have come to mind. my
cookie is being set like:
if (!isset($cookie[0])) setcookie("cookie[0]", "0");
i do not have a product w/ id of zero (0), so i use that as the default id /
value to set the cookie with. any suggestions _at_all_ would be
appreciated. :)
thanks,
matt
I think you might wanna check if $cookie is set, not $cookie[0], if that
doesn't work just check if $cookie[0] = 0

same results. certain items don't immediately show up in the cart until i
add numerous other items. it's funny, because some items show up all the
time, regardless of what order, etc. they're placed in the cart. very
weird.
thanks for your help though!

the method i gave you will do this......if you use the if clause i showed
and work with it for more than a minute you'll see how you can test to see
if you should add an </td><td> to your data, and this will let you make your
columns.....play with it and you'll see......

Neither of these were quite what I was looking for, I was hoping I
could make a table with 3 <td>'s side by side, each having a third of
the list of products (with <br> between them).
Is this possible? If not I will try to adapt one of these methods.

This is exactly what I sent you.
You have to realize that you can't print down one column, and then start a
new one.
You have to print across, left to right before you go down.
You have to modify the print statement to put it into a table, but that is
easy:
Print should be:
printf("<tr><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>",$items[$i],$items[$i+3],
$items[$i+6]);
That will print your 3 columns in a table.
And it is essentially identical to to what I sent. Just have to modify the
format of the printf statement.
You can also do it in a regular print statement:
Print("<tr><td>$items[$i]</td><td>$items[$i+3]</td><td>$items[$i+6]</td></tr
>\n");
Or how about a here doc for php4
Print <<EOF
<tr><td>$items[$i]</td><td>$items[$i+3]</td><td>$items[$i+6]</td></tr>\n
EOF
The for loop stays the same, only the print statement changes.

I've been having large problems with this so I decided to ask you guys(and gals ^_^).
I have a textarea where you can type your text and it is saved to a file. Then another
script includes that. Unfortunately I can't find a way for the textarea to wrap the
text, or make it so it shows it they way they typed it in. Any help would be
appreciated
one thing that would help is to str_replace("\n", "<br>");
I think textarea has a wrap attribute doesn't it?

Or better yet, use nl2br() :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php
Regarding the html WRAP attribute, this little tutorial looks
interesting :

You can do simlar thing with Variable Function.
For example.
class foo {
var $function_name;
function foo($fname) {$this->function_name = $fname; $this->$function_name;}
function a() {echo 'a';}
function b() {echo 'b';}
}
foo('b'); // calls foo::b()

Yes.

Info related to the above can be seen here :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#ini.asp-tags
Regarding PEAR standards, I think they're good to teach. For instance,
imagine if all written PHP books and tutorials followed such a standard,
would that be cool? Yes. From there us PHP minions can do as we choose.
A related article is as such (see user comments too) :
http://phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20010101.php3
Regards,
Philip
As long as PEAR standars are enforced ONLY for the PEAR library, then it's
ok. It makes it alot easier to read such code if all of it's contents use
the same style.
But when they try to reach over and make all applications do it, then it's
too far. But I don't see them trying to do that.
When PEAR says not to use short-tags, they aren't saying it just becase they
"prefer that style". They say it for this exact reason.
The standard tags work great with XML, but with short tags xml may break.
ASP tags should be avoided, because what if your application get's installed
on a server that supports ASP? So your PHP code get's passed to an ASP
parser, and it gets all confused, and it could accidentally totally screw up
your app and open a security hole.
Don't look at PEAR as trying to set standards for _you_. Look at the
standards as for PEAR library content, and ask why they say such things.
For instance, when they say not to use 4 spaces (or was it 3?) instead of
tabs? I think that's stupid, and I don't do it. But they did it for a
reason, even if I don't understand it. I will abide by it if I want my stuff
included in PEAR, but in my own apps I keep using tabs (it's easier to use
backspace/delete on a tab, for one thing).
PEAR servers a valuable role as instructor. You may never have thought there
was a reason to add that extra "php" on your opening tag, but now you know
why they reccommend it ;) Let's not try and restrict what the developers of
an entirely seperate standard (XML) do with their code just so we can avoid
writing our code like it was intended to be written :)
As long as PEAR is a restriction on PEARlib content, and just a suggestion
to everyone else, then PEAR is great. If PEAR trys to force me to use their
standards in my programming in any way, then they've become "code police",
and we sure as heck don't need that.
Remember, PHP is a "loosely typed" language. That's why I like it. However I
often treat it as strictly typed to ensure I don't create any errors, but I
like having that choice to just be "loose". Ya know?

tabs might break going from one platform to another, thus making the code
hard to read. 4 spaces stay 4 spaces. on every platform.
That's probably the reason.
-fkr, who is the only one that uses spaces instead of tabs at work

There really isn't a way to be truly sure. You might not even need to be in
the first place.
If for instance you have a login page that will display an error message ff
the login data was invalid, but if someone just typed in the address to the
login page you don't want to show that error message or even check to see if
it's valid, you can do a few things.
For one thing you can give the "submit" button on your form a name
attribute, so that it will send it's value with the form if someone uses it.
So then you can just check if that data was submitted. But that doesn't stop
anyone from just including "?submitbutton=Submit" into the title.
One thing you can do is use some crypt function on the current unix
timestamp, and include that data onto the form. Then have your login page
decrypt the data, and ensure that is recent enough to be considered valid.
That way you can ensure someone is using the newest version of your form,
and if someone is trying to fake you out then they can only do it for a few
hours before having to remake the fake form.
Since they can never guess what the crypted string will be, then they will
have to try and do it either manually or dynamically. If you get creative
you can stop them from doing that, but...
If you really have to be _that_ sure that a user is physically using your
form, then your application is probably too unsecure, and it's design needs
to be altered.

I'm wondering if there is any sure way for PHP to determine whether an
uploaded file is definitely an image file.
I have a script that checks for size and mime type ('image/png' or
'image/jpeg'). The script works fine, but I've heard that it is possible
to add those mime type headers to files that aren't images at all, and
possibly something mailicious.

Well, if you get some images you won't try to execute them (images off
bill gates aside :), right? So you don't really have to worry about
"something malicious".
But if you want to check, just try opening them with one of the image
extensions (gd, imagemagick, ...)

The problem is that it is too far in the future.
Your cookie is set to expire in the year 2280. You think that's a little
overkill?
And it runs into the UNIX-style Y2K problem which is...um...13 years from
now? Well anyway...
Make your cookie's expire time a little more reasonable. Like 5 years from
now, which is this many seconds:
157680000
So set it to time()+157680000
If someone has your cookie on their machine in the year 2280 and gets pissed
that their login failed when it shouldn't of, don't worry about it. You'll
be dead, too feeble to care, or a god for creating an application that still
works after 270 years ;P

actually, the offending line is:
$cookie_expire = "$time*3";
it may be set too high if you triple it, but i think what might be
happening is that it's setting $cookie_expire to '986703865*3' which would
be invalid.
if this is the case (i dont think you can multiply inside of quotes), then
this is caused by bad programming style. Better is to only quote when
dealing with strings... if you know it's math, then leave the quotes at home.
solution:
$cookie_expire = time() + 86000*365*10;
(86000 = number of seconds in the day, times 365 days, times 10
years). Order of operations will multiply before adding. bada-bing, bada-boom.

php-4.0.4pl1 compiled with --with-t1lib alternatively segfaults or

I have seen this being reported several times before, but as far as I
can see, it hasn't been fixed. Has ImagePsText become unsupported?

I don't know anything about php's internals, but since 4.0.3 worked,
and 4.0.4pl1 didn't I just compared the two versions of the function.
The following patch fixes the segfault problem for me:
--- gd.c~ Wed Nov 29 16:25:42 2000
+++ gd.c Sun Apr 8 06:45:44 2001
@@ -2390,6 +2390,7 @@

&px, &py, &sp, &wd, &ang, &aas) == FAILURE) {
RETURN_FALSE;
}
+ convert_to_string_ex(str);
convert_to_long_ex(sp);
convert_to_long_ex(aas);
convert_to_long_ex(wd);
The other problem (the warning) was due to me calling ImagePsText with
a non-integer px or py parameter. I'm guessing it's a bug that gd.c
doesn't coerce those parameters to integers, but I leave that to
others to fix.

Because no matter what installation of PHP you have, this works:
<?php echo $var; ?>
But this:
<?=$var?>
Or this:
<? echo $var; ?>
Or this:
<% echo $var; %>
...is made invalid if short_tags are disabled (and the last only works with
ASP tag support, and I'd say 90% of PHP users don't have it enabled). And if
the tags are turned off, guess what happens to all the code between those
tags? woops ;)
And as mentioned, short_tags must be disabled on .xml pages. Or they at
least "should" be.
While there are work-arounds, if you didn't use short-tags you wouldn't ever
have a problem with any standard unless <?php becomes part of their markup,
lol. And if it does, they will have to be "dealt with" :)

I'm trying to compile PHP version 4.0.4pl1 (module and/or cgi) on my windows
98 system using Microsoft Visuall C++, and I have two "little" problems.
For one thing, doing anything like this in my DOS prompt:
./configure
./configure --with-mysql
configure
/configure
et al
...returns:
Bad command or file name.
I've heard that means that "Dev Tools" aren't on my system, which is why
"make" or "make install" didn't do anything. But I installed cygwin
utilities and UnxUtils. I also have Active Perl installed on my system.
So what do I need to do to get such commands to do what they are supposed
to?
And I'm not sure if this is related, but when I try to compile the source
code as an apache module I get:
fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file:
'C:\php-4.0.4pl1\Zend\zend_language_scanner.cpp': No such file or directory
Seing as how there are no .cpp files in the source code from php.net, I
imagine it would be hard to find that file ;)
I'm using this article for instruction:

You can use fopen/fread to open the script remotely.
Just append the query string onto the url something like this:
www.example.com/example.php?var1=var
...and example.php will have $var1 with the value "var". That's basically
like using GET on a form.
I believe that's what you wanted to do?

I have to use POST on the form. I wish I could use GET.

For that, you'll need to open a socket. The function to do this is
usually called PostToHost, and I don't know why it isn't in even the
annoted manual page for fsockopen. A quick google search should turn
up copies of it in all the PHP mailing list archives. But, here's the
version that I use (It's been modified to support both GET and POST):
function sendToHost($host,$method,$path,$data,$useragent=0)
{
// Supply a default method of GET if the one passed was empty
if (empty($method))
$method = 'GET';
$method = strtoupper($method);
$fp = fsockopen($host,80);
if ($method == 'GET')
$path .= '?' . $data;
fputs($fp, "$method $path HTTP/1.1\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\n");
if ($useragent)
fputs($fp, "User-Agent: MSIE\n");
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\n\n");
if ($method == 'POST')
fputs($fp, $data);
while (!feof($fp))
$buf .= fgets($fp,128);
fclose($fp);
return $buf;
}
$data should be the variables of the query string, minus the question
mark. That is, var1=value1&var2=value2, etc. The function doesn't
encode it, so you'll need to do that.
HTH,
Matt
Thanks for the info. Question: Is there a simple way to encode text?

Hi!
i have php as an apache mod. i want to exec lynx from php. but when i have
typed the following command
exec("lynx http://mywebsite.com");
OR
passthru("lynx http://mywebsite.com");
it simply does not show any output, just a blank page. I think its the prb
of permission. Please help me how can i configure it to work for me.

Most likely, lynx is not in the PATH of the user that the webserver is
running as, and may not have permission, if it was.
Try telneting in and finding the absolute pathname to lynx, and user that in
your exec statement and see what happens. Might also help if you redirected
stderr to a file so you could read the error that it encounters when you try
to exec lynx in a script.

Hi. I know that this isn't strictly PHP, but this is the only place I know
to ask - so apologies in advance.
I am trying to make this query work but I am having very little luck:
SELECT links.id, COUNT(clicks.id) AS tot_clicks
FROM links INNER JOIN clicks
ON links.id = clicks.linkid
GROUP BY links.id;
I want to output the links which have had the most clicks. However, I store
the links in one table, and each individual click is stored in another
table. Each click has a linkid that identifies the id of the link that was
clicked on.
I know this sounds confusing, but I would appreciate any help you can give.
Thank you
Adam
Hi,
I'm trying to select records based on dates.
I have a table with dates in the format 2001-04-08 and I'm using the query:
SELECT name, description, date_time FROM events WHERE YEAR(date_time) = 2001
AND MONTH(date_time) = 04 AND DAYOFMONTH(date_time) = 08
But it doesn't yield any records? I don't really understand why? It seems to
be the last bit 'DAYOFMONTH(date_time) = 08' which cause a problem because if
I leave it out of the query, it selects all records for a particular month in
a particular year as expected.
Cheers,
Jord
