Wouldn't you rather ask a less inflammatory question - like "which is
better? Emacs or vi[0]?" :o)

Don't go for Mandrake. Sure, it's a lot easier to use than the others,
but... *shudder*.
I'm using Redhat currently, but just as a desktop computer (with
theoretical links to my home network). My site's host, though, uses
Redhat on her servers IIRC, and has no problems.
Apparently Debian and SuSe are extremely good.
[0] Stupid question, anyway - everyone knows it's vi (well, Vim)

You just tried it this once, or over a period of days? Perhaps they're
upgrading their web server at the moment. The machine is up.

Have a look at the section of the manual on Using PHP from the Command

new PHP release. I'd check myself, but I'm a bit short on time (thanks to this

If ever there was a more maddening bug to run across..

Hi, I have to read a simple counter on my server, but the server
responses that I haven't permissions to open the file which contains the
data in write mode. This file (counter.txt) it has all the permissions
(777). I don't know how to do, could somebody help me?
I execute this file on server:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<BODY>
<?php
$userip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
if ($file=fopen("counter.txt", "w")) {
$counter = fread($file, 10);
$counter++;
fwrite($file , $counter);
fclose($file);
}
echo $counter;

</body>

You should check the whole path and make sure Apache has enough rights
to read through all directories.

Hi Antonio,
try this for your fopen():
$file=fopen("counter.txt","r+")
Incase you're interested, here's the code I use whenever I need to use a
simple text-file based counter:
<?
$file = ".count.txt";
$fp = fopen("$file","r+");
$counter = fread($fp, filesize("$file"));
fclose($fp);
$counter +=1;
$fp = fopen("$file", "w+");
fputs($fp, $counter);
fclose($fp);
include("$file");
?>

I believe your choices are either:
1. use .htaccess authentication, which is usually constant for the time the
browser program is open.
2. develop your own user/pass system with sessions
I don't believe the two can work hand-in-hand.

{$config["prefix"]}
I think this should be
${config["prefix"]}
... also, it's handy to actually echo or print the SQL you're
executing, as you will be able to see if the SQL is correct
or not.
The error on line 14 occurs because you're trying to execute
mysql_fetch_array on a mysql result set that doesn't exist.
The most likely reason it doesn't exist is because the SQL is
wrong. Echo the SQL and you'll find out whats happening.

Hi all,
I have a form, with about 40 checkboxes, I want to write a PHP document that
processes the submission and displays the values of the checkboxes that were
checked.
Pretty basic stuff, I've tried a few different things, some work but display
"Array" at the top of the list of values.
<Snippet of HTML>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="games[]" value="Counter-Strike">
</td>
<td>Counter-Strike</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="games[]" value="Total Annihilation">
</td>
<td>Total Annihilation</td>
</tr>
</Snippet of HTML>
<Snippet of PHP>
while ( $element = each( $games ) )
{
echo $element["value"];
echo "<br>";
}
</Snippet of PHP>
I tried this too, it gave the same results as the above...
if (is_array($games)) {
for ($z=0;$z<count($games);$z++) {
echo "$games[$z]<BR>";
}
}
else {
echo "$games";
}
I'm missing something real stupid, please help me out
Thanks,
Liam

1) The example you have shown should work. Take a look at the foreach controle
structure. (Link at bottom of mail.)
2) You cannot assign a value to a checkbox. It can only be set by the "checked"
keyword (ie: <input type="checkbox" name="foo" checked>.)
3) The value of a checked checkbox is "on". If a checkbox is not checked it will not
be passed to you by the clients browser. So if you where wondering why you could not
get the value of some of the checkboxes, then that was why.
4) If you don't have to give the user a more thorough description then why not make a
multiselect select box instead.
Example on a multiselect selectedbox
<select name="foo[]" size=20 multiple>
<option value="bar1">desc</option>
<option value="bar2" selected>desc</option>
...
</select>
The above selectbox will display 20 rows in the box and if there is more than 20
selections you will be able to scroll it.
You can get more information at:

I am running PHP 4.2 and Apache 1.3.23 on Win2k.
I am generating png files. Before upgrading to PHP 4.2 whenever I had a bug
in a png generating script I would get back an error message, now I only get
back a blank page. I have error reporting set to E_ALL.

Okay, I think this is an easy thing but I can't figure it out:
I have a script that will be uploading (up to) 4 files:
$file1
$file2
$file3
$file4
Each $file variable has associated $original_name, $filesize, and $filename
variables. Each file:
$original_name = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile1']['name'];
that gets uploaded needs to 1) have the filename modified:

I have a variable ($description) that contains text data (pulled from an MySQL

submitted to the DB (during a different routine), the following information gets added:
$description .= "\n\n< span class=gensmall >Modified by ".$userdata[username]."<
/span >.";
(spaces added so the tags don't get parsed)
Later in the routine, that data gets pulled back up for modification and I need to
delete that last bit from it. From the starting '\n' till the end '< /span >.'...
What's the best, and or easiest way to do this?

No, you need to install Apache first if you want to build PHP as an Apache

I'd suggest sticking with Apache 1.3.x for now though.

Hi Berber,
you generally need to do some string replacements on the text you're using
to put through the match before you actually do the match (and same for
replacements). Just have a look at the pattern syntax in the manual for the
characters you need to do the replacement on... e.g
$string = "Will this work?";
$criteria = "work?";
$criteria = str_replace("?", "\?", $criteria);
if (preg_match("/" . $criteria . /is", $string))
{
echo "Bingo.";
}
I usually make a function that will replace all the special characters. The
only one that stands out against the rest is the $, because escaped once in
a pcre function means that it is a variable - you need to escape it twice.
Here's some of what I tend to use (cut out a function - the rest of the
function won't mean much to you ;)):
// Clear up the special characters in the $criteria.
$criteria = str_replace("^", "\^", $criteria);
$criteria = str_replace("[", "\[", $criteria);
$criteria = str_replace("]", "\]", $criteria);
$criteria = str_replace("*", "\*", $criteria);
$criteria = str_replace("+", "\+", $criteria);
$criteria = str_replace("{", "\}", $criteria);
$criteria = str_replace("}", "\}", $criteria);
$criteria = str_replace("?", "\?", $criteria);
$criteria = str_replace("|", "\|", $criteria);
// The $ is a little tricky, since it is used for end of string / line,
// and for use with variables when escaped. It therefore needs two
// backslashes.
$criteria = str_replace("$", "\\$", $criteria);
// We're using ! as a delimiter, so that must be replaced, too.
$criteria = str_replace("!", "\!", $criteria);
There's probably bits missing from that, since that's from a script in
development, but you get the idea.
Hope it's of some help,
James

use mktime() to convert your dates in Unix-imestamps, then you can do
whatever you like
to make them "human" readable used date().

I use a GUI Program which i type in the Mysql Command to it and execute it,
so i type in the following command :
"Load Data Local infile 'c:\test.csv' into to table testdeposite lines
terminated by ","
it shows the command had successfully executed, by when i type "select *
from testdeposite" which want to check if the data is successfully inserted,
it say no record exist in table!
Could someone pls tell me what happen here?

Dunno. Maybe you posted to the wrong list. The mysql list is what you want.

I'd love to see an example or detailed anecdote of MySQL failing on a
large DB. I keep seeing comments saying MySQL is not robust, but in my
experience it's nearly bulletproof.
I have thrown some pretty large tasks at it, and even on my lowly
server it has handled everything with great agility.
The only times it has caused me problems are when:
1. a hard crash corrupted a table. Easily fixed once the problem was
pinpointed.
2. a mysql_pconnect escaped into a live site and every apache process
finished up holding open a connection to the database. This is nothing
less than a DB misconfiguration -- the default timeout for pconnections
is like 8 hours when 2 minutes would be more appropriate.

Even this is a definitive mysql-question, try to addslashes() before you
insert your data in the DB, then varchar, text, mediumtext shall work.

just run your array through a foreach loop assigning each key-value pair to a
new array.

Problem is, I dont want the key-value associations to be preserved.
I need that the returned array has new (integer, not string) indices

Does anybody know how to do this? I have looked at different sort

Hi - I share a house with two other people and have set up a spreadsheet in the past
allowing me to track bills (rent, electricity, phone, etc) including who paid what and
how much each person owes in total. Unfortunately I had my laptop stolen around
christmas and lost my spreadsheet with it. :(
I was about to set up a spreadsheet again - but since I've started getting into
learning PHP - and have recently set up our home linux server - thought that it would
be a lot more exciting / functional to have a system running on the server that would
allow each person to log in, track the current bill status, pay a bill, enter new
bills, etc.
I was wondering if anyone knew of an existing system that would do this for me, or if
anyone had ideas as to exisiting systems that came close to the functionality I'm
after - that I could tweak.
I'd also be interested in hearing from anyone who would be interested in such a
system, or developing one, or collaborating on a PHP newbie on putting together such a
beast.
Thanks!

it makes passing data between pages difficult link to link. While I am

Maxim,
I don´t agree your suggestion, as I mentioned earlier on the list, avoid
storing CC numbers
unless it´s absolutely necessary, you´ve got a good insurance, and are
your own ISP knowing a lot of network security. Your suggestions may
make php-coder think that it is possible to store these data secure. But
that´s
not only
depending on php. If you store any data in an ISP-environment, you
cannot be shure that this is secure, as you don´t know how they set up
their servers,
firewalls ...
I wouldn´t give this suggestion without any word on this.

Hi - being new to the lists and noticing that the first few posts that came through
have been reasonably specific and implementation based I was wondering if there were
any other more general php solution type lists - or is it appropriate to post "is
there a php solution for this" type questions to this list too?
Also being new to PHP development I was wondering if someone could point me in the
direction of:
1) list archives for this list
2) good php script repository sites
3) any other php development related sites or lists that will help get me going!
thanks in advance, dan.

This is a PHP help list, if you've got a question, by all means just post it
here. BUT!! You will be given a short shift if it's obvious that you
haven't read the documentation first.

Dan,
PHP General is pretty much about anything related to PHP in General -)
There are also other lists, look at php.net under support.
As of your questions:
1) List archives (the wildest ones) are on:
groups.google.com
marc.theaimsgroup.com
2) That could be hotscripts.com and sourceofrge.com. Also the very nice
PHP Objects (classes) repository is at phpclasses.org.
3) Nice and educative sites on the web are a lot. I recommend you mine
as the start though: www.PHPBeginner.com. Also, check out
newbienetwork.net and devshed.com
Sincerely,
Maxim Maletsky

Thanks Eric,
That clears up a lot. I sort of thought doing:
$bozo = $_GET['bozo'];
would be OK. It seems it's the ONLY way my script will allow the array to be
put into the database (PostgreSQL). If I type into the INSERT command
.... $bozo, $next_var, $next_next_var // it works
.... $_GET['bozo'], $_GET['next_var'], etc // I get T_Variable undefined

************************************************************
The problem here is that $_SESSION['anything'] or $_GET['anything'] doesn't
work. It refuses to print or pass anything. Why? I can't figure that out?
I've tried a simple test, and yes the globals are off. But using the
$bozo = $_GET['bozo']; approach, at least it writes to the database, but I
cannot access the arrays at all??? And, I HAVE to write these for ALL the
variables, else it doesn't get passed to the db.
Sigh. So where am I messing up?
Your help is great, btw. Thanks,
Andre

Hi all,
I'm studying some mail scripts written in php. When sending html mail the scripts all
use a method that involves sending an html file as attachment.
Why not use the mailsend function and send a string containing the whole html code?
a code snippet example from a mail script:
----------------------------------
$file = "mail.html";
$mail->Body( "This mail is formatted in HTML - shame on me" );
// inline intructs the mail client to display the HTML if it can
$mail->Attach( $file, "text/html", "inline" );
----------------------------------
What I want is to send personalized html mail to users in a db-table.
So the body of the mail starts with something like
Dear "user"
I mail you because you are interested in: "interests"
and so on.....
I hope my question is a bit clear to everyone.
happy greetings,
Wilbert
