chmod the file to 777, this will allow anyone write permission to the file
and thus you will be able to append to the file

file-mode 777 is ugo=rwx. You want 'chmod 666', which is ugo=rw.
read is 4
write is 2
execute is 1
If you want rw on the file, it's 6 not 7.

$file = fopen("includes/about.inc", "r");
$data = fread($file, 24000000);
$stripped = stripslashes($data);
$formatted_data = nl2br($stripped);
echo "$formatted_data";
Any ideas why that doesn't work on one server but it will work on another
server? The server it works on is Win2k, IIS5, php4.0.4pl1. The server it
doesn't work on is Linux, Apache, php4.0.4pl1. Any ideas why this won't
work? Just to be sure, I did a chmod 777 about.inc, so file permissions
isn't it.
Thanks everyone,

I don't know why this wouldn't work on LAMP, but if you want to read a
whole file you should do this:
$data = implode('',file("includes/about.inc"));

I think you need to specify the full path rather than relative when using
fopen eg:
$file = fopen("/usr/local/apache/htocs/includes/about.inc", "r");

I haven't got any experiences with it, but the fread function will probably
be your problem..
As far as I can see you try to read 24 Megabyte into a var...
This is quite large, and probably your script will be quite because of
memory problem, or a OS don't won't allow you to use that much memory for
the process..
What solution you will have to use I don't know, problaby read blocks of 500
kilobyte process it and then reuse the variable to read the next 500
kilobyte etc etc till you are finished..
Bye Bye

$file = "includes/about.inc";
if ($fp = fopen($file,"r")) {
$data = fread($fp,filesize($file));
fclose($fp);
}
ought to work.

>Subject: Re: [PHP] Recursive Childs
> thanks for that, could you just explain how it should start, should i just
call the function, how does the level get determined ???
After the function ends, starting at
*********************
$conn = pg_connect("dbname=mydb user=postgres");
*********************
is an example of how to call the function. Level starts out as level 0. Each
time the function is called, it increments the value of level that was
passed to it -- therefore a child of parent = 0 is at level 1, and a child
of parent 1 is at level 2, etc. The part that initializes everything is:
*********************
$conn = pg_connect("dbname=mydb user=postgres");
$parent = 0;
$level = 0;
$currentrecord = 0;
$rowclr = "#e7e7e7";
*********************
Change $parent to something else to start at a different point in your tree.
$level can start with whatever value you want. The next part starts an HTML
document and the table, then calls the recursive function, getChildren.
getChildren calls itself recursively to build the table. When the function
emerges again at the top level, the table and html document are ended.
*********************
print("<HTML><BODY>\n");
print("<table cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" width=\"100%\">\n");
print("<tr bgcolor=\"#BBBBBB\">\n");
print("<th align=\"left\">ID</th>\n");
print("<th align=\"left\">Name</th>\n");
print("<th align=\"center\">Level</th>\n");
print("</tr>\n");
getChildren($conn,$parent,$level,$currentrecord,$rowclr);
print("</TABLE>\n");
if ($currentrecord == 0)
{
print("<H3>No matches found.</H3>\n");
}
print("</BODY></HTML>\n");
*********************
That's it -- it's actually pretty simple.

is it possible to get time limit of script on server ?

Since the "max_execution_time" can be set in php.ini, the current value
should be displayable with a call to phpinfo(). I expect you can also
check that value with get_cfg_var(). And of course you can also change the
setting in a script simply by using set_time_limit(). Cheers!

Does anyone know how to build a static module for Apache
httpd-2_0_16?
Hi,
I'm trying to make a reference to an array but it doesn't seem to work,
is this supported? am i doing it wrong?
Here is the code...
$this->level[$this->breaklevel][column] = $col;
$this->level[$this->breaklevel][level] =
$this->breaklevel;
$this->level[$this->breaklevel][breaktype] =
'break';
$this->column[$col] =
&$level[$this->breaklevel];
Thanks

Hi
Just a quick puzzle I cant seem to get around at the moment...
Im trying to create a loop that increments the string name by a digit. For
example, if I had the following 4 strings submitted to a script.....
$name1
$name2
$name3
$name4
What I want to do is create a while loop that will print out the above 4
strings, incrementing the number part of string automatically.
while($count<4) {
$count=$count+1;
echo"$increased_string_name\n";
}
But I just cant seem to work out how to increment the string name to
display it.
Any assistance on this would be great. I have a feeling that there is a
better method of attacking this but im only new to PHP and dont know it yet.
Thanks

There is a better way...
Use an array:
$name[0] //your $name1
$name[1] // your $name2
etc.
and then do
while($count<4)
{
$count=$count+1;
echo $name[$count];
}
and there you go...
that should work just like your code would've in theory...

Hi
Here is another way
$x = 1;
while($x < 5):
$index = "name".$x;
$name = $$index;
echo $name."<br>";
endwhile;
had troubles with echo and $$variable, thats why the extra step....habit

Why don't you put it in your own thread
This brings up a question that I always wondered.
Does Access have server functionality? Where do you configure these
settings ?

If you go over the menuchoice - file, shake your mouse, bite in the cord,
slam your head in the monitor fifteen times and then trow a bucket of water
over your computer a new option called 'server' comes up. if not, repeat the
steps.
Or install a database server. when using ex. asp towards an accessbase it's
odbc that deals with the communication. it's slow, it's a bottleneck.. but it
works :)

Hello all!
Is there any PHP native function to redirect to another page or URL?
I would like that once the user clicks on home.php4 and a few verifications are done,
he/she would be redirected to home.html.

No, because you can only redirect a browser to another page using the
appropriate HTTP command (it is a header) or JavaScript.

You can issue a HTTP redirection command to the web browser by using
PHP's Header() function. You'll want to use this kind of code:
<?
Header("Location:
http://this.is.the.destination.com/directory/file.php";);
?>

I never had any trouble using header() to redirect, but wouldn't something
like this work even better (without worring about previous outputs)??
function redirect($dest)
{
?>
<script language="JavaScript">
parent.location.href='<?=$dest?>';
</script>
<?
}
it would work wouldn't it?

Yeah... I know that... but, c'mon... a browser that doesn't support
Javascript can't surf trough at least 30% of all websites... it's the
absolute minority. Netscape itself is a minority.

That's not the point. You should be writing the code such that you
shouldn't need to make this kind of argument, at least for a simple
HTTP-related issue anyway. JavaScript syntax / functionality perhaps,
HTTP commands no.
Why do with JavaScript what you can do without?

While its true Netscape is a minority, and browsers not allowing Javascript
are an even bigger minority (Bigger Minority..... Military Intelligence....
Microsoft Works ?), I think Jasons point was more to show that its best to
use an option which will work on all environments if possible. Sure, the
Javascript system will work, but the header() function works better.
Surely its better to write your code trying not to exclude any user if at
all possible.

Yeah... I know what you and Jason mean.
I justed pointed out that it could work nicely... and I just tought of
that... I user header("location: ... ") on all my scripts and struggle to
put them before any output (that's not easy)...
I work on a e-commerce website (coding in ASP, but what can I do?) with
lots of JavaScript calls that in some cases are the heart of the operation,
and we never had any trouble or complaints with it.
I know that, the best way is to get your script running anywhere regardless
of what browser or OS people use, but is important too to use as much of
the technology as you can. Like HTML capable clients... in a recent pass,
that was a nightmare cuz half the people used the most outdated email
clients, but nowadays, almost every spam or corporate email I get, is HTML,
people who don't have HTML capable clients, hurry to get them. I won't even
get started with "<noframes>Your browser isn't frames capable</noframes>",
hehe. Javascipt is almost a standard and it is a great help in many cases
where server-side simply won't do the job. I don't know... I'm just
thinking here... maybe its all BS! :)

I want your job.
We have people complain every time we set a cookie. Imagine the
fuss we'd have if we required JavaScript for something. :)

While I do utilise some javascript niceties in some of my work, I usually
only do it either when a) its an internal sytsem here at work and I know
everyone has the same system/software/setup or b) where its only an
enhancement and it wont affect the usability of the system if its not
there. Ill always try and use PHP and server side solutions before
resorting to client side solutions

I don't think u do. :) ASP sux. Win2K sux even worse, I was just working at
home in huge PHP script that ended up haning the entire system because I
remotely restarted WIN2K and crappy-old-IIS didn't get back. Can u imagine

that's a better way to think about it...
Altough... I still think that URL redirection should be something easier to
do... as it is something very usefull and very basic, if u think in the
concepts of WWW and surfing... going from one page to another is almost a
primitive... u know where I'm getting at?

use the javascript function, but also use as backup plan such as a link at
the bottom or even code at the top like this:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
if (conditionals == true) {
header("location:home.html");
}
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
that way it will get through for most all browsers if not all browsers
One thing that doesn't seem to have been considered is the use of the
"refresh" meta tag. Whilst it depends on whether or not the browser is
archaic (and let's face it, most people nowadays seem to be running at least
version 4 of either IE or Netscape), it's something that can't be turned off
(at least to my knowledge, I could be wrong) and workarounds can be supplied
for instances when the browser doesn't accept the tag. This doesn't hinder
programming too much, as you don't have to worry about sending output after
headers, nor whether or not the browser has javascript enabled.
Personally, I prefer to use the header() function, and it's ages since I've
used this meta tag, though it's worth keeping in mind that old techniques
can still be useful ;)
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1;url=page.php">

Hi,
I want to check a string and return the amount of words present in it. These
strings could be quite large, some higher than 100,000 characters. I realize
I could explode the string on the whitespace and count the number of values.
However, I'm not sure this would be the most optimized way to do this,
especially considering there will be some quite large strings passed. Any
ideas on the most efficient to count the number of words in a large string?
Thanks

Hello,
Greg, Jason asked for an _optimized_ solution.
Solution:
1. If you're using PHP>=4.02 just take the substr_count() function (see
manual).
2. Otherwise you can take this code:
$count=0;
for($x=0;$x<strlen($string);$x++)
if(substr($string,$x,1)==" ")
$count++;
if($count>0)
$count++;

Hi =)
I'm trying to grab content from another web page. After having browsed
through the mailing list archives and such, it looks like I'll need to use
the eregi_replace function, but I'm not sure how to properly format the
command. The goal is to get rid of everything from the start of the page
up to the word "Wish" and everything after the word "numbers". Or, another
way of phrasing it, I'm wanting to get a web page and only use the content
between the words "Wish" and "numbers". What would be the best way of
going about this?
Thanks,
-Ed
Something like this:
$grab = eregi("Some leading code(.*)Some trailing code");
the (.*) is what you're grabbing.

You don't need to include the entire file up to 'wish' and beyond
'numbers', just enough to make a unique portion.

I thinks you should use eregi_replace
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi-replace.php) and then
strip_tags (http://www.php.net/manual/function.strip-tags.php) to strip HTML
tag from string . so, you will get a plain text of the grab page.

>> Windows XP Beta contains the sum total of what Windows has been up
to now
Well, kinda... but not really.. XP is a re-write and is an offshoot of 2000
(although, not really 2000 / NT) -- so it is experimental (as its still in
B.)
I have not experienced your problem... however, I would recommend moving
away from XP for at least several months *after* its been officially
released. If your looking for a stable solution, go to NT4 (Sp5 or later)
or Win2000 -- and run IIS 4.0 or 5.0 (or PSW)
Other than that Linux would be your best bet for Apache. I may recommend if
u do go with Linux that you create a dual boot system -- Windows for your
personal stuff and Linux for your Server stuff --
But -- you could avoid all that mess with just purchasing Win2000... Apache
runs fine on 2000.
Good luck.

I run linux and freebsd on my personal and work computer(s). but that's my
personal choice, It does everything I want so why not :) (beside the
neighborhood have stopped calling me for help now since I just replies that I
haven't touched windows in ages so I can't help them with their tidious
problems ;)
seriosly, ever considered putting up a old computer for test-purposes? like a
pentium 200? goes for nothing on the second hand marked.

total sum? you mean, all bugs and security flaws gathering in one box?
Reminds me of the insurance company that charge double if you run windows on
the servers cause it's more prone to fail :)

Try FreeBSD, it's not linux but it beats the crap out of most linux distros
in ease to install. ofcourse redhat 7, openlinux and such is real easy but
freebsd installs never fails unless your harddrive has the surface of the
moon.

Hi all
I have 2 variables here that store date start and date end, I want to compare the
lenght between the start date and the end date, how would I do that?
$dateStart = "$year" . "$mon" . "$date" ; ( for instance, it will return "20010102")
$dateEnd = "$yearEnd" . "$monEnd" . "$dateEnd" ; ( for instance, it will return
"20010201")
How do I calculate the length between those 2 variables?

<?
$startunix = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $date, $year);
$endunix = mktime(0, 0, 0, $monthEnd, $dateEnd, $yearEnd);
$difference = $endunix - $startunix;
?>
$difference now holds the number of seconds between those dates,
which you can use to find out how far apart they are.

I am experimenting a little with IMAP and was wondering exactly how to
send mail to mailboxes that you create with the imap_createmailbox().
I know that it puts a file under an account like INBOX.whatever, but, as
I said dont know exactly how to send mail to this mailbox. Now I might
totally missunderstand what precisely this function does. From the
looks of it it creates an account under (I am running Red HatLinux) a
real unix account you have setup... that is only for receiving mail. Is
this accurate. If not, I am trying to figure out how people like
hotmail and other email websites have it setup where you dont have a
unix account but only a mail account, and how that is all created
automatically. (I know there is a way to give people a pop only account
but it requires you to become root, not something I would want to have
done automatically). Anyway, any help on this would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanx

Hi guys,
I have created a little "order" system for our company internal
needs, and when I want to print the order, I use a special page, that
has a jpg picture as a background and all items are positioned
absolutely on the picture. This thing makes all the frames and lines
look good.
Now, when I print the page, I'd like to get rid of the "header" and
"footer" that browser adds on the printed page.
Does anybody have an idea how to do this? I know, that I can change
these settings in IE manually, but I have no intention to go to every
computer and change it, and even have no idea how to do that in NS.

Hello all,
i would like to crypt a password as secure as possible.
The documentation says crypt() will use DES unless MD5 is available.
But in my case this doesn't seem to work.
'echo CRYPT_STD_DES ;' returns 1
'echo CRYPT_EXT_DES;' returns 0
'echo CRYPT_MD5;' returns 1
'echo CRYPT_BLOWFISH;' returns 0
so i will asume, that MD5 is available on my system. But
'echo CRYPT_SALT_LENGTH;' returns 2
and if i test 'crypt('test')'
the string is only encrypted with DES.
Anybody had similar expieriences? Is this a bug or an error on my side?
Best regards
Niklas Neumann

That means that you do have MD5 crypt() support. If you simply provide a
salt that starts with $1$ you should get an md5-encrypted password.
If you look in a passwd or shadow file that contains md5'ed passwords you
will see something like this:
$1$rZelmysN$Gj0rbqD76STIotGExxpna1
^^^^^^^^^^^^
SALT
So to generate a password like this you would do:
crypt($string,'$1$rZelmysN$');

I know how to do it manually. But isn't crypt supposed to choose MD5-hashing
if it is available on the system php is running on?
I use PHP 4.0.4pl1 and md5 support is definitively available.
Btw.
> $1$rZelmysN$Gj0rbqD76STIotGExxpna1

Isn't this just a 8 chars SALT (rZelmysN)?
Best regards
Niklas Neumann
If your system's crypt() function supports standard DES crypt, then that
will be the default if you do not supply a salt. PHP will generate a
random DES salt for you. If you supply your own random MD5 salt and your
system's crypt() function supports MD5, then it will generate an
md5-encrypted string. That's just the way it works.
If you want PHP to always default to md5 crypt and generate random md5
salts for you then you should undefine PHP_STD_DES_CRYPT in php_config.h
and recompile PHP.

Hello,

Thanks, i reread the english documentation and there it's also explained this
way. But my german documentation says 'If no salt is supplied crypt() will
use a 2 chars des-salt per default unless md5 exists on your system. PHP will
then generate randomly a md5-salt.'. A bit mistakable I think.
I'll give the translator a wink.
Thanks again and best regards
