look at mysql's DATE_FORMAT() Let mysql do it for you, instead of PHP
----- Original Message -----

Subject: [PHP] Display Dates in English o_O
I have a PHP driven site that as a time schedule. Since the site isn't exactly filled
with very
intellagent people who just LOVE to translate times and dates from a weird format
(Such as the
format used in MySQL), I'd like to take these from a MySQL table (the table's types
are DATE and
TIME) and translate the date to something like "Thrusday, January 16th, 2003" when the
date strate
from the table is "2003-01-16." Then with time, I'd like it to read something like
"8:00 PM" when it
reads straight from the table "20:00:00." Another feature I'd like to have it
timezones but that's
not the point of this message. If you don't mind, though, could you also tell me how
to configure
the times according the the timezone a user has chosen?
Thanks,
Stephen Craton

What you could do is use javascript to get the clients local time, compare it
with the server time and get a difference. Then get all dates from mysql as a
unix timestamp, apply the difference then use date() to format it as you want
and it will always match the clients time on their computer...even if they have
it wrong :)

php can help, but remember, PHP only outputs HTML code to the browser... it
can't actually resize the window, because that's a client-side thing like
javascript.
but you can find out the x and y of an image with
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getimagesize.php
Then use this information in a javascript which resizes the browser window.
Of course for the javascripts, you'd need to ask a JS list, and remember
that not everyone has javascript, and not everyone enjoys the web developer
resizing their windows and 'taking control' of their browsers :)

ok, I try with
<?php
$size = getimagesize ("../images/1817.jpg");
echo "$size";
?>
to then use the x and y with a javascript code like:
window.open
('win_sizer.html','Photo','toolbar=yes,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,location=ye
s,menubar=yes,directories=yes,width=x,height=y')
But in the php part, I am receiving the following error:
Warning: getimagesize: Unable to open '../images/1817.jpg' for reading. in
/home/sites/site8/web/prueba.php on line 12
I'd like to add that I changed mode to 777 (UNIX)
Thank you for your help.

SELECT first_name AS first FROM clients

Hello,
I have a table in a MySQL-db. The primary-key-coloumn is a number which is
not sorted. I don't know how many records there are.
I have a while-loop in a php-page which prints a link for each record. Each
link points to the same page (iow. page reloads).
When someone click on one of these links I would like to create a unike
session-variable which identifies the links record and set it's value like
1. The next time someone click on the link, the variable should be set like
0.
The meaning is to run another query if a record's variable is set to 1 and
display it. The page will then have functionality like windows explorer (you
can click on a folder and it will then display its contents).
The problem is how I can make a unike variable for each record and know how
to call it(know it's name).
Hope someone understands my problem. (difficult to explain)
Thanks.
Lars

Is it possible to register an array as a session variable? If so I think it
solves my problem.

wouldn't you use the primary key as the unique identifier?
<html>
<body>
<?
if(!isset($_GET['id']))
{
// show all records
// print a clickable list of first and last names
$sql = "select id,firstname,lastname from contacts";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?id={$myrow['id']}\">";
echo "{$myrow['firstname']} {$myrow['lastname']}</a>";
}
}
else
{
// show the details of a specific contact
$sql = "select * from contacts where id='{$_GET['id]}' LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo "{$myrow['firstname']} {$myrow['lastname']}<br />";
echo "{$myrow['phone']}<br />";
echo "{$myrow['fax']}<br />";
echo "{$myrow['email']}<br />";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
the key line here is
echo "<a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?id={$myrow['id']}\">";
which puts the ID into the URL, and is used to decide if you want to show
all records (no ID in URL) or just one (id in the URL).
Have fun,
Justin

Yes, the php manual is available at http://www.php.net, session
information is available at http://www.php.net/session.

I don't use postfix but as far as I know it is a drop in replacement and
you should just change the entry in php.ini
look for:
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail
-t -i").

Hi All,
I am trying to make an automated tour as a section of my site, using the
following.
<?php
$NewID = $colname_earlytour + 1;
?>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="15" URL=early-tour.php?ID= <?php echo
"$NewID";?>>
This works great going from early-tour?ID=1 to early-tour?ID=2 but I can't
get it to continue on to ID=3, ID=4 etc. It just keeps reloading the data
from ID=2
The data for each page is in a row identified by a unique ID# I just want
the page to reload with the data from the next ID# after a givin time 15
seconds.
Thanks in advance for any ideas,

Hi Jason,

This code was inserted by DWMX when I created the record set "earlytour" So
I don't know exactly.

This looks supect if it's a direct cut-and-paste from your script -- you've got a
superfluous space between ?ID= and <? php echo which shouldn't be there and may affect
the value of ID that your script sees.
(Also, although it won't affect your results, you really don't need those quotes in
the echo -- why force PHP to interpret a string, extract the $NewID part, and then go
fetch its value, when you could write <?php echo $NewID ?> and let it just fetch the
value straight off? (In fact, come to that, why even bother with $NewID at all when
you can write <?php echo $colname_earlytour + 1 ?> and have done with it?))
Cheers!

This works great going from early-tour?ID=1 to early-tour?ID=2 but I can't
get it to continue on to ID=3, ID=4 etc. It just keeps reloading the data
from ID=2
The data for each page is in a row identified by a unique ID# I just want
the page to reload with the data from the next ID# after a givin time 15
seconds.
Thanks in advance for any ideas,

Hi,
My opinon is Php future is very bright. .NET is marketing mumbo jumbo, and
java is Sun's bug yard.
It was pretty clear. None of them able to compete against PHP. ASP.NET is
expensive, JSP is hard to config and code. Both of them slower than PHP,
learning PHP easier than others.

Hi everybody,
Is it possible using PHP change page orientation in browser so that when
user clicks
on "Print" button page automatically rotated to "landscape" orientation.
I've heard that it is possible to do with ActiveX but due to security reason
ActiveX might be disabled.
Thanks for any help in advance,

Is it "better" to pass variables through functions or to simply declare them as global
within the function's scope?
The variables in this particular case are things like MySQL database connections and
tablenames.

In terms of security, or in my opinion, good and proper coding, it is
best to have no global variables. There is always a way to wrap
variables that will be needed in local scopes. However, this philosophy
is harder to practice than it is to preach. Code can get ugly when
passing if you are not strong in your coding designing abilities.
Sometime it just becomes easier to attempt to keep as much out of the
global scope as possible and suffer the idea of some of them being
globally available.
That being said, if someone was to exploit a script that had global or
local access to a variable storing database connection info, then the
consequences could be drastic. Similar situations are easly applicable
as well, with any crucial data or passwords etc.
You should consider reading the section entitled,
"Security: New Input Mechanism" here: http://www.php.net/release_4_1_0.php

$i = 0;
while(your_loop_to_output_each_row) {
echo '<tr bgcolor="'.$cols[$i%2].'"><td>$row_data</td></tr>';
}
um, Rasmus, shouldn't this have a
$i++;
line in the while loop?
some other ways (there are many)
- shortest code, you need to use a 'for' loop or add a counter $i that is
increased in every loop
for ($i=0; $i<=10; $i++)
{ echo '<tr bgcolor="'.(($i%2==0)?'red':'white')."\"><td>$i</td></tr>";
}
- using a color toggle
$color_toggle=false;
for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++)
{
echo('<TR bgcolor="'.(($color_toggle=!$color_toggle)?'#D8D1E7':'white')
}
Of ocurse you can put the color values in variabels like $color1 and
$color2, and define them at the top of the file for easier configuring.

I did this by defining two colors, and as I looped through the query, I
would just change it each time...
ex...
$trcolor="#F0F8FF";
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$colorset=0;
if ($trcolor=='#F0F8FF'){
$trcolor='#B0C4DE';
$colorset=1;
}
if ($colorset==0){
if ($trcolor=='#B0C4DE'){
$trcolor='#F0F8FF';}
}
print "<tr bgcolor='$trcolor'>";

Can't you persuade your host to upgrade to a more recent version of GD --
1.6.2 is pretty ancient.
If they won't/can't upgrade then the least they can do is install
netpbm/imagemagick so everyone can use it.

..., you need to know the OS and architecture that your server is running then
see if someone has produced a binary version.
If you're still here (ie none of the above worked for you) then it's time to
get you hands dirty and do some "configure; make; make install". This is
beyond the scope of this list.

If you mean some sort of database abstraction so one script would work on

ADODB (not to be confused with the other adoDB), at

I think it's because you're setting the bgcolor="#FFFFbf" for the TD tag, so
it's overriding using the TR tag bgcolor. The maths is OK, so if you remove
the td bgcolor bit it *should* (standard disclaimer) work.

Look at the HTML source of the resulting page, if each <tr bgcolor...> is
alternating then your code is working. Which means your HTML is dodgy ...

It has to do with the $cols[$i++%2] part.
When I try to print $i++%2 the outcome varies between 1 and none. Somehow
the complete row is not show anymore.
The easiest way is to stop trying this approach and move to the tested
versions i mailed to this list about an hour ago.
Further i would suggest to keep the form within the <td></td> bit and not
overlap it.

I'm looking to find out if PHP has the ability to do this...
OK I'm looking for a solution that could do the following.
We require to generate PDF files that can then be emailed or printed &
posted to clients.
I can create PDF Files from scratch using PDFLib.
What we will require to do though is, we presently have paper copies of
forms from various parties we deal with, our present Access-based system
simply prints on top of these, I am presently developing in PHP a system to
replace the Access database, we will want it to create these as PDF files
(we can get the printed forms in PDF format) based on supplied PDF files...
for example, generate a PDF for Customer X based on Supplier Z's PDF file.
Any solutions in PHP (open source, free, commercial etc etc.) would be very
much appreciated, or if we need to look at another Language to perform this
part of the solution (i.e. ASP).
The solution I'm developing is PHP, running on a Windows 2000 Server as we
require use of some windows-only software too. So if *cough* ASP is what's
needed to do the above then so be it :\ - really hope not though!!!
Thanks in advance!

AFAIK it's not possible to jump directly into the middle of a file and start
reading.
You would have to read it line-by-line until you get to the part you're
interested in.
If the file isn't large (say less than several MBs) then just read it all into
an array using file() and process it from there.

AFAIK it's not possible to jump directly into the middle of a file and start
reading.
You would have to read it line-by-line until you get to the part you're
interested in.
If the file isn't large (say less than several MBs) then just read it all
into
an array using file() and process it from there.
Well why not try something like this
<?PHP
$filename="halffile.txt";
$fp=fopen("$filename","r");
fseek($fp,$numpoint);
//jump to midfile
$middle_of_file=(filesize($filename))/2;
echo "\n".$middle_of_file;
$precontent=fread($fp,$middle_of_file);
$content=fread($fp,filesize("$filename"));
fclose($fp);
echo nl2br($content);
exit();
?>

Thanks Cal,
I may be asking some questions! I just have a blank script now so I have a
lot to do!

Subject: RE: [PHP] x12 837
yea, mine is all array based. I pull the data from a FoxPro table via XML
(and jump through several hoops.) Then I have a main loop that spins
through the data (which is ordered) and
* creates a new PO if the PO number has changes (PO Object)
* Create a PoLineItem for each line in the PO (POLineItemObject)
* repeat.
* PO's own POLineItems
* All PO's are owned by the X12_850 object.
Once everything is nicely sliced and diced into objects I call
X12_850->generateX12(). This spits out all the necessary headers and then
calls generateX12() on each PO. Each PO spits out all the necessary headers
and then calls generateX12() on each POLine Item. Then it spits out the
necessary trailers and bumps control back up the line.
Once it's finished, I have a (honkin' big) string that represents the 850
document. Currently, I dump this out to a file for ftping but you could just
as easily use CURL to call a SOAP process somewhere if your X12 partner had
a brain. (mine does not, the company I was a consultant for in the medical
insurance industry did not either)
Anyhow, I'm happy to share what I know if you have questions.
HTH,

Cal,
You used php for this? I am pretty sure that an 850 is on our list of
things to do somewhere.

I've created an 850 and a base class x12. It's not terribly hard. I did not
find much in the way of useful classes already built though.

Ok, I know this is a longshot but does anyone on this list work in the
healthcare industry and have created an 837 with php? I am thinking of
attempting to create one in php and didn't want to reinvent the wheel.
Thanks,
Eddie

This seems pretty dangerous to me. You should better explain your
problem, I didn't understand it.

session_destroy() do work when I logged out of the website. But if I'm
logged in and open a 2nd browser and try to log in. This where the script
I
use to detect exisitng session and destroy it before generating a new one.
Problem is that session_destroy does not work on the 2nd browser...
So, my question is what is the workaround to using session_destroy() ????
How do I unset it???? Etc....
I tried this one but it had no effect if I'm the 2nd user...
---------------
$_SESSION = array();
session_destroy();

getopt() has already sanitised the arguments for you thus unknown
options/switches do not make it into $options -- meaning you cannot test for
them! Try print_r($options) and enter differing combinations of
options/switches and see what you get.

That you have to test for yourself. In your example above if $A is empty then
inform the user.

Ok, here $options consists of 2 arrays, the first ($options[0]) is an array
containing all the valid options. To read them you can use:
foreach ($options[0] as $opt) {
echo "Option::{$opt[0]} Value::{$opt[1]}\n";
}
> My questions are what is the preferred way to get command line options,

Yes, you manually check for them!

Doesn't look it.
The second array ($options[1]) just contains the rest of your command line.
Using Console_Getopt if an unknown option/switch is given a PEAR_Error is
raised thus you have to check/trap for that.
