Peter,
Thanks for your ASAP response,
Have you ever touch with oracle scripting ?
The manual doesn't show how we can execute kind of oracle store procedure ..
I thought that PHP only supporting for SQL - query only but not supported to
retrieve PL-SQL,
When I do the samething with Oracle developer in PHP environment so I have
to convert my PL-SQL which stored in Oracle DB to PHP script. In my mind it
shows that PHP only use Oracle just only 'data storage', could not retrieve
many additional features of oracle itself.

Hi
I think you should have a look to
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ocibindbyname.php.
I use this function to call an Oracle Stored Procedure and retrieve the
return value.

I know nothing about using Oracle from PHP, but a quick search on Google
revealed the following: http://www.phpworld.com/manual/ref.oci8.html - example
2 shows how to call a stored procedure.

I have a shopping cart where users have added a list of documents for
purchase. I want to allow users to remove documents from the cart before
checkout. There are no quantities involved-- this is a "yes I want
$docID" or "no I don't" situation.
I thought the easiest way might be to have a checked checkbox before
each item (. . . name=checkbox value=true checked) with instructions to
uncheck the box and click on a "save changes" button to refresh the
cart. I've spent many hours trying to get this scheme to work. Before I
spend more time beating my head against the same 'ol wall, I thought I'd
ask those more knowledgeable if a checkbox is the best method of
achieving this. If so, this is the code I tried to use (the $save
variable is passed as a hidden form field, $cart is an array and a
registered session variable)
if($save)
{
if($checkbox != true)
unset($cart[$docID]);
else
$cart[$docID] = $$docID;
}
(I should say this is the latest version. I've tried lots of way, but
none have worked. I've tried "foreach" in lots of ways, but I may not
understand this construct properly. For example I've tried:
if($save)
{
foreach ($cart as $docID => $checkbox)
{
if($checkbox != true)
unset($cart[$docID]);
else
$cart[$docID] = $$docID;
}
)
If you can suggest code that works, that would be great, or at least
point me in the right direction if I'm on the wrong track with
checkboxes. If you haven't noticed already, I'm very, very new to PHP
and haven't quite got the hang of it yet. :=)
Thanks, Vicki

The whole process starts with the form. If that's not made correctly, you
aren't going to get anywhere in your checkout. From your code, I have a
hunch that's where your first problem lies.
<form>
<input type="checkbox" name="item[124]" checked />
<input type="checkbox" name="item[268]" checked />
</form>
Now, the receiving script:
if ( !empty($_POST['save']) ) {
if ( empty($_POST['item']) OR !is_array($_POST['item']) ) {
echo "HEY! You haven't selected any items!";
} else {
while ( list($ID,) = each($_POST['item']) ) {
$cart[$ID];
}
}
}
This doesn't delete stuff from the cart. It just creates a new $cart
array containing only the things the person wants.
Note, I'm using empty() a lot to avoid "Warnings" in the event the
variables aren't set at all.
Also using the $_POST[] superglobal array, assuming you're using a
version of PHP >= 4.1.0.
Enjoy,

The best way to do this is server side with strlen(). You can use
javascript or maxlength, but if a user wants to get around it, they can.

What exactly happens when you put three equal-signs together instead of
just one or two? I've seen this in other people's code, then search
php.net and found nothing.
Also, what happens when you put a @ thingy in front of a function? Does
it surpress the errors?
Thanks!!

Yes, or perhaps allows you to form your own errors with:

No, not really. PHP just evaluates the script and sends the output to
the browser. It has no control over the display at all.
Best you could do is output some JavaScript along with your HTML and
attempt to control it that way. Basically, since you already know how to
do it with JavaScript, have PHP write the JavaScript for you...
---John Holmes...
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Why would you want to do this? All it will achieve is delaying the output
of the entire file to the browser...
If a page would usually take .5 seconds to parse, and you have 10 seconds of
delays in the script, then the browser will get the page in around 10.5
seconds... the user will just see a delay, NOT a page with new things every
few seconds in the already-rendered page.
Once again, PHP is a SERVER SIDE language, and EVERYTHING happens before the
page is sent to the browser. If you want stuff to happen on the CLIENT
SIDE, like displaying a new line every few seconds, then this needs to be
achieved in the BROWSER, with JavaScript or something.
If you View source on a PHP script in your browser, all you'll see is HTML
code... no PHP -- it's all parsed on the server.

Take a look at this page, it uses flush to stagger the results as php
processes it. pretty cool

Because when you use php to make a file/directory, the
webserver makes the owner the webserver (usually
"nobody"). Unless you log in as "nobody" (or whatever
respective name), you will not be able to modify the
permissions or delete the file/dir. However, when
logging in and making a file with 777 permissions, php
and the webserver should be able to modify the file...

It's far simpler to do this from a command line on the system using the
utilities of the database vendor, such as mysqldump, and then importing
the stuff into the database, again from the command line.
Look at the documentation of the database you're using.

I want to round a number to the nearest decimal place...
if the number is 4.623, I want it to display 4.6
if the number is 2.36, I want it to display 2.7
Is there a function that does this? round(), ceil(), floor() don't do
this and I've checked through all the math functions in my handy-dandy
"PHP Functions" reference book.
Thanks for your help!!!
Or......if it's too hard to do that, I could just use a function that
chops off the end of some decimals, like...
if the number is 2.343234, I want just 2.3
or if the number is 2.545434534534534534, I want just 2.5
Thanks!!!!!!

according to the pdf version of the manual I have, round() is what you need
float round(float val[, int precision])
have another look that the man page

I think what you're looking for is number_format() - you can set decimal
places with it and used in combo with round(), ceil(), and/or floor(), you
should be able to achieved the desired result.

You don't really mean 2.36 --> 2.7 ??

round() seems to work. What's the problem you're having?

It's worth noting that round doesn't always work e.g.
try round(0.35,1)....

As I understand it, you just want to truncate the number, without
rounding.
I think you are right, there isn't a function to do it for you but the
following code should do it:
intval(4.623 * 10)/10
or more generally:
function truncate_number($mynumber,$places) {
return intval($mynumber * pow(10,$places))/pow(10,$places);
}

Dude, what IS the point of this?
If the $sendheader variable isn't set, you're sending the person back to
the same page w/o setting the sentheader variable first... So, you've
created an infinite loop. Do you mean to be doing:
header('Location: http://blah.com/sendheader.php?sendheader=y');
Some other tips:
When array keys are strings, put them in quotes ($GLOBALS['sendheader'])
Use single quotes rather than double quotes when dealing with strings that
are not being evaluated for variables in them.

But, what's the guarantee that the head is always the first record in the
group? Similarly, what's even guaranteeing that the houeholds even have
their members in consecutive rows?
Anyway, you'd be wise to normalize your table structure. At a minimum,
the "relation" should not be a text field, but rather a tiny integer, with
the actual names of the type of relation in a separate table which you'd
"join" to in your queries.
Okay, back to your question, assuming everything is miraculously ordered
and grouped correctly...
Write and execute your main query. Then start a while loop to go through
each record. Assuming you're using MySQL...
In that while loop, have an if statement checking if you're looking at the
head of the household. In case you are, bump up the counter. Regardless,
make a query string to run later updating the current record.
Lastly, loop through the array of update queries, executing each as you
go along.
Here's some untested code for you to try:
$Queries = array();
$Counter = 0;
while ( $Record = mysql_fetch_array($resource, MYSQL_ASSOC) ) {
if ($Record['Relation'] = 'head') {
$Counter++;
}
$Queries[] = "UPDATE table SET Household=$Counter WHERE ID=" .
$Record['ID'];
}
while ( list(,$Val) = each($Queries) ) {
mysql_query($Val);
}
Any questions? Read the PHP manual for the particular function.
Enjoy,

if id is an int type, no. You only need to quote values being passed to

I don't know whether it is 'correct', but it works with or without quotes. For
consistency I would use the quotes.

Hello php-general,
I need to run a separate version of Apache on the same server I also
what to use a different copy of the php.ini file with that version of
apache. I am aware that I can override most of the php.ini settings in
the httpd.conf file. But this is not what I want to do.
Php will be running as a DSO with apache. So is the only way I can do
this is to install a different copy of php to run with this version of
Apache. Or is there a way I can get the httpd.conf file to read a
different copy of php.ini

I believe you will need to compile two versions, and point two to
different php.ini locations.
Here's a snipet from the manual.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.configure.php#install.configure.options.php
Al
--enable-maintainer-mode
Enable make rules and dependencies not useful (and sometimes confusing)
to the casual installer.
--with-config-file-path=PATH
Sets the path in which to look for php.ini, defaults to PREFIX/lib.
--enable-safe-mode
Enable safe mode by default.
--with-exec-dir[=DIR]
Only allow executables in DIR when in safe mode defaults to
/usr/local/php/bin.
--enable-magic-quotes
Enable magic quotes by default.
--disable-short-tags
Disable the short-form <? start tag by default.

the name <> 0 was a sql-query - it will return a ressource which will
enable you to make something like
$i=0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($nameless_result){
#psuedo-code#

I must confess that I do not know the O'reilly book you're talking
about, but "PHP & MySQL development" from SAMS is a good book both as a
reference, basic intro and has a lot of in-depth examples. Furthermore,
it has a rather fine introduction to OO-programming in php

Couldn't help noticing with the upgrade to version 4.21 that this function
is no longer available,
I've looked around and not found much on the subject but so far I have
worked out that my code basically has to change from this...
<?xslt_output_begintransform($xslfile);
<StatusBar>
<Date><?print(date('Y-m-d'));?></Date>
<BuyerName><?print unparsedXML($globalBuyerName);?></BuyerName>
<?if($MainWindow != "No"){?>
<SearchSite InputName="code" submitName="">
<select name="searchtype">
<option value="Whole Site">
Whole Site
</option>
<option value="Product Code">

</option>
<option value="Categories">

</option>
<option value="UNSPCSC">
UNPCSC
</option>
<option value="Manufacturer Name">
Manufacturer Name
</option>
<option value="Manufacturer Code">
Manufacturer Code
</option>
</select>
</SearchSite>
<SearchCategories InputName="catcode">
<SelectFromCategoryLevel1 name="searchCategory"/>
</SearchCategories>
<?}?>
</StatusBar>
<? xslt_output_endtransfrom();?>
To this ...
$XMLText.="<StatusBar><Date>".(date('Y-m-d'))."</Date>";
$XMLText.="<BuyerName>".unparsedXML($globalBuyerName)."</BuyerName>";
if($MainWindow != "No"){
$XMLText.="<SearchSite InputName=\"code\" submitName=\"\"><select
name=\"searchtype\"><option value=\"Whole Site\">Whole Site</option><option
value=\"Product Code\">Product Code</option><option
value=\"Categories\">Categories</option><option
value=\"UNSPCSC\">UNPCSC</option><option value=\"Manufacturer
Name\">Manufacturer Name</option><option value=\"Manufacturer
Code\">Manufacturer Code</option></select></SearchSite>";
$XMLText.="<SearchCategories InputName=\"catcode\"><SelectFromCategoryLevel1
name=\"searchCategory\"/></SearchCategories>";
$XMLText.="</StatusBar>";
$xh = xslt_create();
$result = xslt_process($xh, $XMLText, $xslfile, NULL, $arguments);
print $result;
I've been using 4.06 for a while and the code in the old way is much easier
to read (especially with a Color Coded Editor) and therefore much easier to
maintain and there is a lot of it..,
I've started changing the code to make it work, but the whole time I'm
feeling sorry for the Poor Tortured Soul who has to maintain it. and then it
hits me that the Poor T S will most probably be me.
Why did the xslt_output functions get removed? As far as I could tell they
worked just fine.
Am I approaching this change to the code from the wrong angle?
Is there a way to use XML and XSL in the way similar to the xslt_output
functions?
I was thinking of having files that could call the Old XML files and execute
the PHP inside them and return a string of executed phtml.
I think I could shell out to PHP.exe, but to me that doesn't seem very
efficient? as php is compiled into apache at the moment. Is there another
way to execute a PHP file called from within another PHP file and return the
output results as a String?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
By the way PHP is fantastic.
Keep up the Good Work.

have to give this value somehow into the PHP-environment for a DB-Query.
The feched data i want dynamically fill into the second dropdown. But how do

Hi all.
Sorry for this, but a couple of hours ago (imagine… Monday at 3 in the
morning) one of my clients called and asked me to put a Photography
upload for each member of his business and the dead line is in 2 hours.
I’ve been messing around for the first time with file uploading, but it
seems I keep doing something wrong. I’m using:
<form action="../../phpinfo.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000">
<input type="hidden" name="numsocio" value="<?=$numsocio?>">
<input type="hidden" name="browse" value="yes">
Select Photography: <input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add Photo">
</form>
but phpinfo tells me (Under HTTP_POST_FILES["userfile"]):
Array
(
[name] => picture.jpg
[type] => image/pjpeg
[tmp_name] => none
[size] => 0
)
Why is this??? Also, this is going to be the first time I deal with file
managing… so if you please throw some bones at me…
Thanks very3 much… I’m on dial-up but will stay connected though.

1000 bytes seems to be a pretty low limit. Even thumbnails takes several KB.

It does depend on the usage, but general files are better

Short answer: with great difficulty.
Longer answer: use some form of regular expression to extract the bits that
you need displayed.

Is there an elegant way to remove excess blank lines from my form data?
For example; if someone enters the following text and then press' the
Submit button:
----
This is a some text
This is more text, and yet even more....
----
What I want to do is remove the excess white space and make it look like
this?
----
This is a some text
This is more text, and yet even more....
----
My users may press <enter> too many times and I want to ensure clean text
and formatting.
Thanks.

Well, in short, you want to replace \n\n\n or \n\n\n\n with \n\n.
This can be done cleaverly with a regexp (not my expertise at all, but you
want to replace 3 or more occurences of \n in a row with \n\n.
Otherwise, a simple str_replace() will do it an okay job.
something like:
<?
$str = "something\n\nwith\n\ntoo\n\n\nmany\n\n\n\nline\nbreaks";
$str = str_replace('\n\n\n','\n\n',$str) // change three enters to two
$str = str_replace('\n\n\n\n','\n\n',$str) // change four enters to two
?>
Untested of course.
Like I said, a regexp would be better here.

Hi,
I am trying to copy and resize an image using imagecopyresized() and
cannot seem to crack it. Below is the code I am using, can anyone tell
me why I keep getting and invalid image resource warning and is this
the src or dest parameter that the error is referring to?
$srcImageName = "../properties/$line[propid].jpg";
$destImageName = $rm_branchref . "_" . $line[propid] . ".jpg";
$destImage = imagecreate(275, 183);
imagecopyresized($destImage, $srcImageName, 0, 0, 0, 0, 275, 183,
imagesx($srcImageName), imagesy($srcImageName));
imageJpeg($destImage, $destImageName, 75);
imagedestroy($destImage);
All that happens is that I get an identical copy of the image, and not
a resized one.
TIA
Phil Ewington.

Hi there.
I've tried to include a simple javascript in a .php file,
but couldn't get it to work.
Actually not even the php code worked at all...
Is there any specific configuration flag that needs to be
set up in the Apache server so that the javascripts work
correctly?
Thanks in advance
Luis
PS- Btw, I use an Apache server on a RH72 machine

i've written a class for connecting to an ftp server in
passiv mode, sending a text file, sending one or
more .mpegs and disconnecting.
on my test box this script works fine (PHP 4.2.1) BUT
on my live box (PHP 3.0.18) it fails...
On the live box (php 3.1.8) the script fails when i
call the ftp passiv mode function
(* $conn_pasv = ftp_pasv($this->connection, 1); *)
If i comment out this line - the script connects ok but
then fails when trying to do ftp_put().
here's the connect method :
// open ftp connection 2 box and authenticate
function connect() {
$this->connection = ftp_connect($this->boxip);
if (!$this->connection) {
$this->msgHandler('Could not connect to Box.',1);
} else {
$this->login = ftp_login($this->connection, $this-
>boxuname, $this->boxpass);
if (!$this->login) { $this->msgHandler('login',1); }
$conn_pasv = ftp_pasv($this->connection, 1);
$this->msgHandler('Connected to Set Top Box...',0);
}
}
In the send method the ftp_put call looks like this -
$put = ftp_put($this->connection, $this->remfile,$this-
>localfile, FTP_BINARY);
Any ideas as to why this bunks in PHP 3? I'm beginning
to think upgrading PHP on the live server is the best
thing to do... can anyone shed any light??
Thanks....

Hello people out there!
I've experienced a curly problem with Linux 2.4.16, Apache 1.3.9 & PHP
4.0.6 (Slackware 8).
I use a session variable ($login) to manage the authentication to a web
administration interface: every page begins with a simple test which
checks if $login is stored in session. If not, it prompts an error
message.
<?
session_start();
if (!session_is_registered("login")) {
die("Error: you must log in.");
}
// The page goes here...
?>
Sometimes (I wasn't able to find out any reproducible condition) the
interface kicks off the user: the sessioned variable is lost.
The most amazing thing is that I got no problems with 4.0.3pl1 on Linux
2.4.18 (Debian potato).
Anyone of you can tell me the deeply hidden reasons?
Thanks.
