Is the second edition much different from the 1st? If one has 1st Edition,
is it worth $39.95 to get the second?
Thanks

Don't have 1st, but 2nd looks pretty good. It functions both as a manual and as a
reference and most of the recipes have pieces that I'd say correspond to real life
problems.
not much help I guess :-)
cheers,

I hope so. Sterling got a list of errors from two German
translators for his 1st edition. Sterling havenīt said a word about
the second edition during his trip to Germany. You can see him at

I'm still playing about trying to validate an url
www(dot)something(dot)something !
I thought this would work but know
if (ereg("^(w{3})(\\.)([a-zA-Z]+)(\\.)([a-z]{2,4})$", $str))
can anyone explain why not ???
^(w{3}) = three w at start of string ??
(\\.) = literal dot ??
([a-zA-Z]+) match any word with letters ??
(\\.) = literal dot ??
([a-z]{2,4})$ = at least 2 leters eg de but upto 4 eg info

First of all, web server hostnames don't need to start with www. Secondly,
they can have any number of components (separated by periods) from 1 to
dozens. Thirdly, the last term doesn't have to be 4 characters or less.

Seems to work for me, given your questionable intentions. What happens
when you try it?
I just thought of one more problem. Domain name components can also
contain numbers and hyphens.

I have written, in an html form, a drop-downlist that uses <SELECT>:
i.e. <SELECT NAME=state>
<OPTION SELECTED>State
<OPTION>AL
<OPTION>AZ
<OPTION> // and so on
I would like a text input as the last option so that a user can type in a
state (non-USA) and have this variable passed on. Is there any way of
accomplishing this using html or php?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Tia,
Andre

It's not possible. You'll have to put a separate text input field next to
it.

Thanks Miguel.
Too bad, since a few sites seem to have that capability. Oh well . .

If you've seen it on other sites (I can't see how, since there's no

Unfortunately, my bookmarks were lost when I re-installed. It was a major

The quotes go away, or they just get a backslash before them? If the
latter, try <?= stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['userName']) ?>

Hi,
"foobar" becomes simply \
I've lost foobar AND the double quotes. Is there a way to keep them all?

That's a little odd; something else must be going on. Can you provide some
more code, and, preferably, a pointer to a live example?

Sorry Miguel, it's the HTML entities nonsense again.
It displayed as \ on my browser, but the HTML source code indicated
otherwise.
Thus, if I entered "foobar", it shows up as \ but the HTML source shows.
<input type="text" name="realName" value="\"foobar\"">
So value="\" was the culprit, so you're original solution was in the right
direction. stripslashes() itself wouldn't work because the HTML source
would be value=""foobar"" and on in HTML, only the first two double quotes
count.
The solution was this, which apparently has been discussed many times
before.
stripslashes(htmlentities($HTTP_POST_VARS["realName"]));
or
stripslashes(htmlspecialcharacters($HTTP_POST_VARS["realName"]));
Thanks for your help in leading me to the right direction.

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before
but could anyone give me instructions on how to debug and interpret php
scripts using Edit Plus ? I download the php modules for edit plus so
it recognise the syntax. But how do I setup the user tools , so I can check
for bugs in the script and run it
Thanks

You may need to redirect output (both stderr and stdout) atleast that helped
me with a similar problem. My system is Linux.

And by redirect I mean to /dev/null possibly if you don't want to capture
output.

How do you usually do it? ie from the command line?
Use php to execute whatever you usually execute from the command line using
the functions in "Program Execution functions".
You'll most likely run into permissions problem.
For example, if you're using a bog standard qmail install (with no vpopmail
or vmailmgr) then all your mail accounts are system user accounts. And to add
system user accounts you need to be root.
It would probably help if you told us what exactly you're trying to do.

I'm doing a simple database connection using the follow syntax:

I get Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

I can telnet to the host and with the same username and password access the

Figure out where your mysql.sock file is and provide the path right in
your mysql_connect() call. "mysqladmin version" tells you the path.

Can you give me a syntax example. I've found my sock file but seem to be
having trouble getting it right on the mysql_pconnect line,
my sock is /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Thanks in advance!
So close but yet so far. :) My first MySql project.

Is that supposed to be ->
$db = @mysql_pconnect("localhost", "bookorama", "bookorama123");

On the topic of gd support but a slightly different topic-
I was using php 4.0.5
gd 1.8.3 patched for gif support (using libungif for libgif which I
*think* is OK)
FreeType 1.3.1 (compiled myself in /usr/local )
t1lib 1.3.1 (compiled myself in /usr/local )
I was using gd to draw pictures and write text on them with ttf fonts.
I saw there were some new image functions in >= 4.0.6 so I grabbed the
latest php
I use a script to compile php
same compile options, but t1lib gave a ptoblem because instead of looking
in /usr/local/lib it tried to find the library in /usr/lib/.libs
the configure option id --with-t1lib=/usr/local
cd /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/local/lib .libs
took care of that but I really don't want to do that.
Anyway, my big problem is with freetype.
compiled
I could draw and open images, but could not write ttf fonts on them.
reading the ./configure -h I see that they CHANGED what the configure
options mean.
now --with-freetype=dir refers to freetype 2
Personally I think its insane to change the meaning of a configure option,
but OK.
So I downloaded FreeType 2 and compiled it and installed in /usr/local
recompiled php
Still can't use ttf to write on images.
phpinfo() says I have FreeType linkage.
But both ImageFtText and ImageTTFText fail to do anything.
What is up with that?
Perl is losing popularity because every time it updates scripts frequently
need some rewriting (that and cpan will grab the latest module and then
try to grab a newer perl instead of grabbing the module that works with
the installed perl- grrrr)
Hopefully php isn't going that route.
Is this just a bug or has there been a major change?
I'm going to have to find myself trying php 4.0.6 and possibly reverting
back to 4.0.5 if I can't get this resolved.
My compile options are here- http://macaddict4life.dhs.org/info.php

Untrue, it only refers to freetype2 when you are building against GD2.

Works just fine for me. Play with your config.log and see what is
failing. I use gd2 these days because the 8-bit limitation of gd1 just
sucks. You can find my simple gd2 instructions here

I don't think my server even has PEAR installed, so even if I just put
the script on my own directory, it still needs the PEAR.php - will I
need to do that too?

My correction - there is a Pear, and it was just a matter of finding the
location
(/root/php-4.1.2/pear/File/Find.php) - so I tried to use the full path -
owrked, but then the Find.php required the PEAR.php, which was one
level. So what I've done so far is to put the Find.php in my directory,
and then make the path to the PEAR.php in the Find.php.
I don't know if this will work for the search application from the PHP
Dev's Cookbook but so far it seem to be working this way.

Ex : <Input type=text value="c:\programfiles\" name=var1>
& when i do an
echo $var1;
in the submitted php page
it is showing "c:\\programfiles\\" instead of "c:\programfiles\"
Howto overcome this ?

Hi there, I want to transfer a message back to the form if an error occures.
Therefore I am encoding the message and afterwards decoding. Works fo far
with one exeption. The single quote is slashed 3 times.
Example:
$message = That's great!
Code:
example.php?message=".urlencode($message)."
<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="53"
wrap="virtual">'.urldecode($message).'</textarea>
Result:
That\\\'s great!
So whats wrong? I can't see the mistake.
Thanx for any help
