[PHP] urlencode and decode are producing \\\' instead of \'

[andy]

Hi there,

I am trying to fill a form again when an error occures, therefore I redirect
to the form and pass the values via url like this:

HEADER("Location:/profiles/6".$recipient_id."2.html?subject=".rawurlencode($
subject)."&message=".rawurlencode($message)."");

then I put it in again like this
 '.rawurldecode($message).'

The problem is, that this is causing a message like this:
test  \\\'

So what's wrong? Can anybody help on this?

Thank you,

Andy

[PHP] PDF Load Problem

[Alexis Antonakis]

Hi,

One user to a site I have developed has complained that when they are trying
to view a PDF file on the site, that the server is closing the connection
with the browser window before the page has loaded.  The file is only 13
pages long and has a few very small images in it.

What I was wondering was whether anyone else has come across this sort of
problem, and if so, what advice would they be able to give to speed up the
loading/storage of PDF files.

Many Thanks
Alexis

[PHP] uploading files problem

[Claudio Fedel]

hi there,

I'm trying to upload a file using php on an apache server running on
linux.

The code of the form I'm using is as follow:


File to upload:



Upload




when I press the submit button after selecting the file, nothing
happens. 
I tried to print the filename passed by the form but it is empty.
If I run the same page on my win2k server, everything works fine.
It seems as that the form doesn't pass post variables. I also tried to
delete the enctype parameter and in this case the variables are printed
on screen.

Is there any particular setting on linux for this page to work?

thanks

Re: [PHP] urlencode and decode are producing \\\' instead of \'

[Bogdan Stancescu]

You don't have to rawurlDEcode again - that's done automatically. You 
have to encode so you're HTTP compliant, but the decoding is done by PHP 
(or even Apache? I'm not sure) when receiving urlencoded strings via URL 
and form data.

[PHP] a href problem

[Anders Henke]

Hi folks!

Im running this forum for Flash users and I have created it in Flash. Now,
I've got this little problem... If a users writes a URL like
http://www.test.com, the url becomes clickable thanks to the code below.

$text = str_replace("<", "<", $text);
$text = str_replace(">", ">", $text);
$text = str_replace("www.", "http://www.";, $text);
$text = str_replace("http://http://";, "http://";, $text);
$text = eregi_replace("([[:alnum:]]+)://([^[:space:]]*)([[:alnum:]#?/&=])",
"\\1://\\2\\3",
$text);
$text =
eregi_replace("(([a-z0-9_]|\\-|\\.)+@([^[:space:]]*)([[:alnum:]-]))", "mailto:\\1\";>\\1", $text);
$text = urlencode($text);

Everything works just fine, until someone writes http://www.test.com";>http://www.test.com. The output then becomes
http://www.test.com";
target="_blank">http://www.test.com
target="_blank">http://www.test.com.


Does anyone have a solution for this?

Re: [PHP] where i get .so [dll] file of linux ?

I always recompile PHP when I need a new module, but searching the

Exactly.  When you do ./configure --with-foo=shared; make
then modules/foo.so will appear magically and you can dl() that or load
it
using "extension=foo.so" in your php.ini.  You don't have to recompile
PHP.

[PHP] OT - representing data

[Alastair Battrick]

Hi All

I have over 26000 urls in a table. They are all urls and query strings of
hits to the same 10 - 20 sites.

I need to have a way to allow the user to select one of these, and then do
some processing on it, and I'm struggling to find a way.

I did have a select dropdown with a list of them, but that has become
unmanageable, even when coupled with a restrictor text box. For example, the
user types 'david' in the restrictor, and then the dropdown only lists those
urls with '%david%'

Has anyone got a genius way of allowing the user to select one easily and
without having to download all 26000.

TIA

Well your problem is not caused by the rawurlencode, rawurldecode. It's 
probably because you have magic_quotes_gpc set to on. 

Try this:

For your URL: rawurlencode(stripslashes($subject)), and same for $message.

For your textarea: htmlspecialchars($subject), & $message.

If you're putting $subject & $message into a DB you would probably want to do 
the reverse of htmlspecialchars() before inserting them into the DB.

Mr. Wong is wright :-) The only problem is that you should 
rawurlencode(stripslashes($subject)) in the header and 
htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($subject)) in the textarea for the 
expected results.

Hi!

What about using stripslashes:
$variable = stripslashes($variable);

Also see http://www.php.net/stripslashes

RE: [PHP] Program Looping ?

[Hunter, Ray]

You need to also make sure that you change the script execution time allowed
in the php.ini file to 5 minutes or more or else you will get a time out

[PHP] get_browser() problem ?

[R'twick Niceorgaw]

Hi all,
I'm trying to get some info from get_browser() function. But, I'm getting a
page can not be displayed error.
The script is a simple one as give below. My hosting comapny says,
get_browser() works on their system and there must be some error in my
script but I couldn't find any error. Can some one tell me if indeed I have
an error there ?

I have PHP 4.1.2 running on freeBSD. detail PHP configuration can be found
here http://66.216.8.221/phpi.php

and the script is http://66.216.8.221/brw.php

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
R'twick

Code copied from the browser script :
--


 BROWSER TEST

\n";
$br = get_browser($HTTP_USER_AGENT);
while (list($k,$v)=each($br))
 echo "$k = $v";
?>

Re: [PHP] creating MySQL Users

Try this query : 

   $query = "GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,ALTER
";
   $query .= "ON $username ";
   $query .= "TO $username@localhost ";
   $query .= "IDENTIFIED BY '$password';";

Make sure that you put a blank space after each

I hope this work!

You should ask your administrator to do it for you.
BTW, most propably you don't have to recompile Apache.

You have to build the FDF extension to include FDF support by adding the
--with-fdftk to the PHP build flags.

1) Read the manual conveniently available at http://www.mysql.org; this 
is not rocket science.

2) ALTER TABLE mytable ADD boogers_per_hour INT;

Try,

[type] can be int or char () or blob or real or something else drawn
from the mysql manual

$query="ALTER table_name ADD column_name [type] AFTER other_column_name";
$result=mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) die("couldn't alter table".mysql_error());

Hope this helps,
Hugh

[PHP] Re: OT - representing data

[Hugh Bothwell]

How about a hierarchical tree?  Strip the common precursor stuff
([http[s]://][www.]) and proceed from there, splitting on '.', '/', '?' and
'&'.

I would also put a Yahoo-style split-level back-out link on the page, ie
[nandotimes].[com]/[news]/[current]/
article2001.html(1 ref  4000 views)
article2002.html(1 ref  2500 views)
   [article2003.php]   (4 refs  6600 views)
article2004.html(1 ref  800 views)
(where [text] indicates a hyperlink)

Combine this with your restrictor text box and N-items-per-page and it
should be reasonably navigable.

[PHP] XSLT and DOM

[Sean P . Scanlon]

Can anyone tell me why this is not working?


-- snip of 
xslt_processor.php

$doc  = new_xmldoc("1.0");
$root = $doc->add_root("debug");
$head = $root->new_child("broswer", "1");
$head->set_attribute("key", "UserAgent");
$head->set_attribute("value", $HTTP_USER_AGENT);
$head = $root->new_child("broswer", "1");
$head->set_attribute("key", "UserAgent");
$head->set_attribute("value", $HTTP_USER_AGENT);

$xslt_args["buf"] =  sprintf("%s", $doc->dumpmem());
// $xslt_args["buf"] =  $doc->dumpmem();


$xh = xslt_create();

$result = xslt_process($xh, $REQ_FILE, $XSL, NULL, $xslt_args, array());

--snip of 
xml-html.xsl---

  

 
   
  == 
   
   
 

there is no output and the count() is 0

if i "manually set $xslt_args["buf"] like so:
$xslt_args["buf"] =
"





";

everything works fine. is there a known issue with using DOM and XSLT with 
php or
am i missing something completely trivial?

Thanks,

Well, there are places that teach classes on this subject.  There are 
also books devoted especially to this subject.  O'Reilly is coming out 
with one, there's one advertised at sitepoint.com, and there are more 
(like Visual QuickPro PHP Advanced by Larry Ullman or PHP and MySQL 
Database Applications by Bulger and Greenspan).

It's a big topic, you're best off reading one of these books and then 
asking here for help on specific questions.

RE: [PHP] Database-Driven Web Site.

[SHEETS,JASON (Non-HP-Boise,ex1)]

Hi Sean,

I'd suggest looking at some of the PHP and database tutorials available, for
the database you most likely would be interested in learning about MySQL, at
least at first. There are a lot of good resources on the PHP website at
http://www.php.net and good MySQL documentation available at
http://www.mysql.com.  

If you look at the PHP mailing list you will find there is a lot of
discussion about PHP books. I'd also suggest looking on amazon.com and
reading the reviews of books for PHP and MySQL, one of my favorites was "PHP
and MySQL Web Development" but there are a lot of other excellent books
available as well.

Some good resources for finding already existing scripts is
www.hotscripts.com, www.zend.com, http://php.resourceindex.com by looking at
existing code you can get a feel for how you might do something.

Before you set out to create a database driven website you need to decide
what you want your website to do, does it really need to be database driven?
It is not that hard to create such a website but why introduce overhead that
you really don't need.

Jason

[PHP] function calls...Incorrect output...What am I doing wrong?

[Eric Starr]

I am learning PHP and I am having some trouble.  I am working on a hit
counter application.  I am using PHP 4 even though the file extension might
lead you to believe I am using PHP 3.

This code is on a page called "homePage.php3".  Here is the instantiation of my 
Counter:
All Done!"
?>

Here is count.txt... this is where I store the counts of each page...this is some test 
data:

testPage.php3 6
homePage.php3 76
b 99

Here is my counter.php3 code.  This code is not complete.  All it should do right now 
is to output the position in the array that it found the hitcounter...using the test 
data above I am expecting the output to be ">>>1<<<", assuming that PHP arrays are 
zero numbered, but instead I am getting ">>><<<".  What am I doing wrong?

mDataFile = "./counter/count.txt";
 $this->mCount = 1;
 $this->mCounterPosition = -1;
 $this->mName = $name;
 $this->mHandle = fopen($this->mDataFile, "r+");

 // Reading the file into an array...each new line is a seperate element of the 
array
 if (!($this->mFileArray = file($this->mDataFile)))
{
printf("Could not read this file: " . $mHandle . "");
 }
 $this->mCountPosition = $this->hitCounterPosition();  // ??? Why is this not 
returning anything ???
 printf(">>>" . $this->mCountPosition . "<<< ");  // The output I am getting 
is:  >>><<<
}

function hitCounterPosition() //returns the position of the hitcounter in mFileArray
{
   for ($i=0; $i < count( $mFileArray ); $i++) // iterates through the array
   {
  $pos = strpos( $mFileArray[$i], $mName);
  if (!is_integer($pos)) // The hit counter has NOT been found
  {
 return (-1);
  }
  else // The hit counter has been found
  {
 return ($pos);
  }
   }
}
} // end of class

[PHP] PHP and XML/XLST/WDDX etc

[Dennis Moore]

I am looking for opinions and other philosophy on a couple of XML issues.  I have my 
own opinion, but I am curious what others think and what they are doing...

I am in the process of updating many of my applications to include XML/XLST/ and/or 
WDDX technologies.   Many of my applications read a static configuration file which 
assigns values to variables and arrays.   If we need to change something we manually 
edit the configuration files.  In some instances, we have written web interfaces to 
manage these configuration files.  

I am in a dilemma right now between "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" and "Looking 
over my shoulder".  I am trying to determine whether it makes more sense to use XML 
for maintaining configuration files.  

As far as content management, we use static include files or MySQL databases to store 
site content.   I am not sure where the advantage of using XML/XLST for this 
functionality.   

Please comment.

Re: [PHP] Question about database-driven web sites.

[Dennis Moore]

It all depends on what the needs for your site(s) are.

Typically, you use database driven web sites as a means of storing data
separate from the layout and style of your web site.   The advantage of this
is that you can just update your data in the database without affecting the
layout and style of your web site.  Many developers dynamically serve the
content from a database into the websites using PHP.   This is extremely
powerful if you have content which needs to be represented within a table or
if content changes on a regular basis.

There are many books and web articles on this subject.

I hope this helps... my 2 cents...

It depends on how the people will be approaching the data, I guess.

Maybe you could work out a tree, where first they pick between .com, .org, 
.net, .gr, whatever, and then they pick the prior term in the domain name, 
then they pick the first term after the slash, etc.?

In my experience, you're going to get a lot of anti-XML responses about 
this.  My limited experience of dealing with XML is that it is very 
complicated and difficult to actually do, regardless of the promises of 
simplicity that are usually made when discussing XML.  HOWEVER -- once 
your application is all set up, I imagine that it will actually be 
somewhat easier to maintain.  It's learning how to do all of this, plus 
the fact that the XML tech is so young right now.  For instance, check 
out the man page on xslt_set_sax_handler() or xslt_set_sax_handlers() -- 
not very informative.  And while xslt_process() has a man page that 
actually explains how to use it, it really helps to have a more 
fundamental understanding of XSLT, since it is not explained in the man 
page why you use the argument syntax that is used.

I just discovered this last one last night... so you might have seen the 
thread.  I think it's interesting, and I'm trying to incorporate it into 
my app even though it DEFINITELY doesn't need this kind of 
functionality, because I want to learn more about it.  In fact, if 
performance or high volume are issues to you, then you should probably 
hold off for now, as most of these functions require quite a bit of 
processing -- XML was never intended to be lean or mean.

Probably the hardest thing is finding resources on this -- there are 
quite a few tutorials on DevShed or SitePoint or PHPBuilder that do a 
good job of introducing a topic, and there are some books on XML itself, 
and its related technologies, but I haven't found much that goes 
in-depth into using PHP with XML.  There is far more about Java and XML 
than PHP.  I finally found a mailing list devoted to PHP/XML issues, but 
it's on Yahoo! Groups and I'm having a bitch of a time getting 
subscribed (who ever thought that a web-based interface for mailing list 
management was a good idea?)

Anyway, best of luck to you -- let me know if you find a community 
dedicated to this very topic, since I'd like to focus on it a bit more.

FTP with raw sockets is a little bit tricky because it actually requires a

Check out this excellent FTP class, which *doesn't* require PHP to be

Think of a template,
You set up a design , and put database data in it.
If you have any changes on your website, you´ll change some parameters in the
db and the whole site works with these new values.
Also If you develop for customers, you can have the final site in your db and
just switch on/off some "extras" on customers demand with just a few clicks.
There are a lot of reasons why to use it, but for me these are the main 
reasons.
Small work, big effort.

[PHP] User Authentication

[Omland Christopher m]

Hi, I had a question on user authentication/member accounts.
I have built a MySQL database with users and passwords, and I wrote this
code:

LOGIN IN PROGRESS

PLEASE LOG IN



Username:
Password:
 

Click Here");

}

So this will work it regonizes a real user vs. a fake on I do. But I don't
understand whats to stop someone from directly linking to a protected
page? For example why couldn't someone just go directly to
./about.php.

Does this make sense? Should I have the login form in one file and the php
script in another? Do I need to check the http header somehow to see if
they have logged in?
Thanks.

You're right there's absolutely nothing to stop them from doing that.

The usual way to do login is that after authentication you send the user a 
cookie. On the subsequent pages that you want to protect you check for the 
presence of a valid cookie. If one is present you let them view the page, 
otherwise redirect them to a login page or something.

RE: [PHP] PHP and XML/XLST/WDDX etc

[J. Scott Johnson]

Just to follow up on some of these thoughts.

XML is definitely complicated to move into.  Its unclear if you aren't
involved in data interchange, if the benefits are really there.  If you are
just developing in your own way, you may not need it.  OTOH, its new, sexy
and may "sell better" to your customers (if you have such).  Bear in mind
that if you are db backed, you still need to flatten to store in a DB.
There aren't many XML stores, most aren't that good, and they aren't that
fast.  With that said, I am doing XML now but its for data interchange, not
anything else.

NOTE -- I was doing SGML in 89 and XML ain't all that different.

RE: [PHP] User Authentication

[Vail, Warren]

To solve this problem, I store some variables in a session, and at the
beginning of each page that needs to be secure in my site, I check to see if
the session variable is set (usually $userid), if not I redirect the user
back to the logon page.  At least two things will cause the variable to be
missing, a direct reference to the page using the URL, and the session
having expired.

I also make it a practice of coding a page as two separate php files, the
first of which performs the test above and retrieves information and
presents it on the web page (this is my presentation layer).  The second php
program that is referenced as the as the Action of my form or as a href from
an anchor on the form when data is not to be submitted.  This second php
program may test again for my session variable, but it does only processing
(storing data in the database, etc), then does a redirect header("Location:
page.php"), some of redirections will take it back to the page in file one,
other redirections will take it to other pages.

The reason for this dual program style, is that it avoids the problem with
using the POST method of form processing and pressing the back button on the
browser (IE and Netscape both issue an error).  Because every one of the
pages presented in my application are redirected to, they are entered by a
"GET" by default and the back button works fine.  The second "process only"
program can pass variables to the next form either as GET parameters
appended to the URL, or as a session variable.  A redirect cannot cause a
form to be entered with a POST method that I am aware of.

hope this helps,

[PHP] IMPORTANT question for anyone using XSLT

[Erik Price]

My, there have been a lot of questions about XSLT in the past 24 hrs... 
admittedly most of them coming from me.  In addition to my first 
question (repeated below for clarity), I have a second one -- how do I 
perform an XSLT transformation on multiple XML documents?  Do I need to 
perform a separate XSLT transformation on each one?  The reason I ask is 
b/c I am pulling my XML from a DB, so there may be more than one based 
on the results from the query.  If anyone can answer this, that'd be 
great.

If not, perhaps you can help with this situation, which I believe will 
probably plague just about any PHP programmer who will ever use XSLT 
with PHP (or possibly any other language):

I am still unsure of the best way to mix PHP & [X]HTML together in an 
XSLT stylesheet, because regardless of whether you specify the output 
method as "text" or "xml", if you are using HTML tags they must be 
well-formed, because Sablotron or expat (not sure which) will want the 
XSLT stylesheet to be a well-formed document.  Only, we often interrupt 
our HTML code when using PHP, like this:

$output_to_browser = "Go";
$output_to_browser .= "home";

(of course, the output to the browser will by a hyperlink to index.php 
that says "Go home".)

The above looks fine as PHP code, but if you try to manipulate the data 
from an XSLT process in this fashion, you won't be able to use HTML 
tags -- the greater-than and less-than symbols can't be used, since an 
XSLT sheet is technically an XML document and these are not well-formed 
tags.  In the XSLT sheet, the above might look like:


  ">Go Home


I thought that perhaps if I specified text as the output method, then 
the greater-than and less-than signs wouldn't be parsed, so I could use 
them as such:




  

  
">Go Home
  


See what's happening in the above?  I thought I had "escaped" my  
tags by placing them within the  tags, but this is not so -- 
they are parsed, and the document is then interpreted as not being 
well-formed.


So unless you want to do a straight XML-to-XML or XML-to-XHTML 
transformation, OR you don't want to use ANY XML or XHTML tags in your 
output document, you're kind of up a river.  Unless someone on this list 
can help me find a way to "escape" the HTML tags when creating PHP code.

And the only way I can think of doing it (which I still haven't tested, 
but might have to use) is to use variables to represent the HTML tags so 
that instead of

Go Home

I could use

$astartag = "Go Home";

and then make the style sheet like this:




  
$astartag
  
 
  
$aendtag
  



That should work in theory.  But it's incredibly crude.


What do you all think?

[PHP] Re: function calls...Incorrect output...What am I doing wrong?

[Eric Starr]

Please notice that I am attepting to call a function "hitCounterPosition()"
in the constructor "Counter" with this line of code:
$this->mCountPosition = $this->hitCounterPosition();

The very next line in the code prints out the value of mCountPosition

The output is not what I expected.  I am expecting:

[PHP] Security hole using cookies for sessions. Workaround?

[Andy]

Hi there,

I recently discovered a hole in my and a lot other apps on the net.
There must be a workaround, becaus I also found apps which work fine.

The sittuation is as follows:
After signing in, I am setting a cookie with a unique session id.
Cookie parameter is set to 0. The session expires as soon as the client
closes the browser.
Thats what I thought.

Real live looks like this:
Closing all browser windows makes the session expired, as it should. But!!
Closing the window with the application inside does not expire the session
if
there is another child of this browser open. For example e-mail services. I
found
a service where it possible to close your browser window with the app inside
and
the session is still active. What if the person is in a internet caffee?
Someone else
just takes the other open window of the browser and hits on the history the
last
browsed sites and here he goes!

My question is:
Is there a way to close this hole and let the session expire as soon as only
the active window
is closed?

Thanx you for any help,

Andy

RE: [PHP] Re: function calls...Incorrect output...What am I doing wrong?

[Rick Emery]

Your problem is that you reference $mFileArray.  You should reference
$this_.mFileArray:

   for ($i=0; $i < count( $mFileArray ); $i++) // iterates through the array

Therefore, count($mFileArray) is 0, so the loop ends without an explicit
exit

Nope, that's how browsers work.  Your only real way to fix it would be to
expire a session after a certain amount of inactivity.  That's what the
PHP sessions do by default - 24 minutes of inactivity and the session data
is expired.

There is no way to detect a user closing one window of a browser session.

[PHP] PDF bug question?

[Ethan Nelson]

Hello,

I checked the developer database, and I'm not saying it isn't in there...
but I couldn't find it, so here it goes:

Here is the problem... given the code below, I would expect a fill color of
73% cyan, 26% magenta, 5% yellow and 0 black.  However, the 73% cyan will
default to zero unless you specify 1.  The bug is that no gradient is
allowed for the first color option in the pdf set color command.  It takes
either 1 or zero and anything in between defaults to zero.  This is true of
RGB as well.  If you do not specify 1, the first colorspace defaults to 0.

pdf_setcolor("$pdf","fill","cmyk",.73,.26,.05,0);

I'm using php 4.05 RC1.  I know there was a bug about the last options being
required but ignored for color options, such as RGB, that doesn't make use
of them, but I don't know of one relating to this... am I doing something
wrong?

RE: [PHP] creating MySQL Users

[Joel Caturia]

I think you'll find this works better if you use "PUT" as your method,
as opposed to POST, which is for File Uploads.
 
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php#features.file-upl
oad.post-method)

Is your code ever actually getting into the 'if' construct, if not,
that's probably your answer!

[PHP] Displaying Image with PHP

[Jay Paulson]

Hello--

I can't quite seem to get this to work.  What I'm trying to do is pull data
out of a MySQL db of an image that I had put into the db.  When I originally
put the image into the db I had to use the "addslashes" function so that it
would be inserted into the db correctly.  Now when I select the data out of
the db I do "stripslashes" on the file data.  However, I still get a broken
image in my test page.  So I included the code I'm using below.  the only
ting that I can think of (it actually just popped into my head) is for a 50k
file how big would the table have to be? I'm currently using the field type
of mediumtext which should be enough.

Thanks for any help!
jay

===
$query = "SELECT filename, filedata, dateline FROM reviews where id=$id";
$results = dbQuery($query);

$filedata = stripslashes($results["rowData"]["FILEDATA"][0]);
$filename = $results["rowData"]["FILENAME"][0];

if (strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT,"MSIE")) {
  $attachment = '';

Re: [PHP] Displaying Image with PHP

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

mediumtext is long enough, but you are putting binary data into it, not
text.  You should be using mediumblob.  The limit is 16M for that column
type.

[PHP] A Calendar type thingy

[David Johansen]

Ok, I'm still kind of new to this and I just have a question on how I should
go about implementing something. I need to make a calendar type thing with
different times in each day and store some values for each time in a
database. I was just wondering what would be the best way to do this. Here's
what my data type would look like in C:

struct time
{
char name[50];
int avail;
int max;
}

struct day
{
 char date[15];

RE: [PHP] Displaying Image with PHP

[James E. Hicks III]

## Heres where I add images to DB with field type of BLOB for image

if ( ($submit == 'Add Image') && ($userid != 'demo') ){
   if ($image != 'none'){
  $name = strtr($name, "'", " ");

Here's my image script. I know I should send more information in the Header, but
it works w/out it. Notice that I ommitted the stripslashes. I ran into the same

[PHP] creating files with same user id than the script?

[Kai Schaetzl]

One of our customers installed a CMS application scripted in PHP and 
it creates a lot of new files. These are all getting created under 
the userid of nobody (the webserver's id) instead of the user's id 
(the scrip's id) which makes it somewhat difficult to run the 
application in safemode because here and then it will run into a 
barrier. Is this a problem with the coding or will PHP always create 
new files under the webserver's user id?

[PHP] Processing Code created on the fly

[Jonathan Duncan]

I am trying to create an HTML Table which has TH headers which are different
depending upon the link clicked to access the page.  Also, the content of
the TD's below the headers would be different depending on the headers and
depending on the link clicked.

I have sorted out many of the details, but one eludes me.  Attached is an
example that I have created to try to prove my point.  In it you will first
see two variables that have been created inside of a function.  The function
is called with certain values and these variables are created and populated
with PHP code that needs to be evaluated at a point later in the file that
calls the function.

Next you will see a WHILE statement that should take the contents of the
those variables and evaluate those contents as if they had been hard-coded
in place of the variables.

So far, when I run the script as is it simply prints the contents of the
variables, which is raw PHP code, but does not process it.  The results is
that the raw PHP code that is in the variables doesn't get process, but is
output at text on the resulting HTML page.

Can anyone help me figure this out?  I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan Duncan

RE: [PHP] A Calendar type thingy

[Kevin Stone]

Perhaps simply store a standard English date as the index for a single
table (ie. 032902 or 03/29/02) along with a `time` and `comments` field.
Use PHP's extensive library of built-in date/time functions to translate
the date to timestamp and vice versa.

---
CREATE TABLE `test_calendar` (`dates` INT(6) NOT NULL, `time` INT(14)
NOT NULL, `comments` TINYTEXT NOT NULL , INDEX (`dates`)) 
---

Then reference the times corresponding to that date with the query
string..

---
SELECT * FROM calendar WHERE dates = 032902
---

You can add as many times/comments to any one date that you like and
then view them all or just one at a time.  You end up with some
duplicate data in the table but it's no biggie.  I wouldn't get too
complex because I don't see the need for multiple data sets in your
example.

[PHP] From Newman: Just installed, get this error message.

[Philip J. Newman]

Security Alert! PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly. 
This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a 
page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set. This variable 
is set, for example, by Apache's Action directive redirect. 

You may disable this restriction by recompiling the PHP binary with the 
--disable-force-cgi-redirect switch. If you do this and you have your PHP CGI binary 
accessible somewhere in your web tree, people will be able to circumvent .htaccess 
security by loading files through the PHP parser. A good way around this is to define 
doc_root in your php.ini file to something other than your top-level DOCUMENT_ROOT. 
This way you can separate the part of your web space which uses PHP from the normal 
part using .htaccess security. If you do not have any .htaccess restrictions anywhere 
on your site you can leave doc_root undefined. If you are running IIS, you may safely 
set cgi.force_redirect=0 in php.ini.

RE: [PHP] Can you find the parse error?

[Kevin Stone]

I have found it safer to use backticks on all of my table and field
names.  I doubt that's the problem but it's a good practice and
something to try anyway.

INSERT INTO `tblUserInfo` (`UserID`, `Complex`, `Contact`,.. etc..

By the way what are those complicated looking '".$var."' for?  You
should only have to do '$var'

If all else fails run the query string through phpMyAdmin if you have it
installed.  That usually helps me pin down the problem.

Re: [PHP] creating files with same user id than the script?

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

That's the way it works since Apache runs as a single user id. There is no
way PHP can escape this. You might look into setting this user up with the
open_basedir restriction instead of safe_mode. Under open_basedir the
user's scripts can only manipulate files under the directory you specify.

Your other options are running PHP in CGI mode under suExec (a bit slow
and clunky) or running multiple instances of Apache behind a reverse proxy
like Squid where you configure Squid via something like SquidGuard to send
requests to various ports on localhost based on which domain is being
requested.  Then you would set up multiple instances of Apache each
listening to a different port on localhost and each running as that user's
user id.  The last option is the most powerful, but is also somewhat more
resource intensive.

  I'm currently working on a class library/application framework for PHP
(similar to Delphi's VCL) in which I'm using XML/XSLT for the templates.
It's working great with development not taking very long at all. The two
main advantages of using XML/XSLT for content management that I can see are:
1. It's easier to enforce a common look and feel on a site.
2. It's easier to re-target content (different transformations for
different browsers).

[PHP] A quesiton about arrays and indexes

[David Johansen]

Ok, I have a question about arrays and indexes. Something weird happens when
I try this:

echo "week[$i][$j]: $week[$i][$k][0]";

Of course $i and $j have their appropriate values. It just prints out
Array[0][4] (0 and 4 being the values of $i and $k, but if I do the code
below it works just fine. Is there something I'm just not getting or
something?

$temp = $week[$i][$k][0];
echo "week[$i][$j]: $temp";

If you're array subscripts inside "double quotes", then use {braces}
around the entire variable:

   echo "week[$i][$k]: {$week[$i][$k][0]}":

Re: [PHP] A quesiton about arrays and indexes

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

Complex arrays inside quoted strings either need to be escaped with {}'s
or drop out of the quoted string to display them.  ie.

echo "".$week[$i][$j].": ".$week[$i][$k][0]."";

or

echo "${week[$i][$j]}: ${week[$i][$k][0]}";

[PHP] [PHP-DB] Displaying Floats

[Ian Wayne]

Hi all. 

I can't believe I'm stuck on this - seems to me there ought to be an easy
way to do this, but I've been hunting through the literature and I just
can't find it. If anyone can point me in the right direction it'd be much
appreciated...

I have a table of accounts and I want to display all the money amounts to 2
decimal places. How do I do this? Should I use floatval (which I can't use
because it's CVS only)? Or is there some other way?

Many thanks

Ian

A couple of ways.  The most flexible is probably to use number_format()
since that lets you set the separators as well.

printf("%.2f",$value) would also do it.

As replied above, or

echo(round($money*100)/100);

Just to point out another way - the previous suggestions are better 
because they most probably involve way less math on the server.

I suggest that you post again and include your code inline with your post 
rather than attaching it. 

People are lazy and many (me included) couldn't/wouldn't be bothered to save 
your attachment and open up their text editor/viewer to read it.

[PHP] gettext functionality needs configuration flag

[Thalis A. Kalfigopoulos]

Someone with the proper authority should probably put on the manual pages that to get 
the gettext functionality you have to configure with the --with-gettext flag. The 
--with-XYZ comes in almost all pages that require an additional flag, so at first I 
was mislead into believing it is compiled in by default.
Hope I saved someone some time and the ugly "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: 
bindtextdomain() in ..." messg.

cheers,

Jason,

That is a good point and that being the case, following is my code.

Thanks,
Jonathan Duncan
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
$account
   $service";



This is file that calls the above function:
(The lines with the *s are supposed to take
the data from the variables and then process
them as if they were part of the code.)

while ($sqlresult = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
 $id = $sqlresult['id'];
 $account = $sqlresult['account'];
*$thefunction->othervars;
 $email = $sqlresult['email'];
 $terms = $sqlresult['terms'];
 $account_list .= "
   image
*  $thefunction->tabledata;
   \$$m_amount
   $paidthru
   \$$amountdue
   mailto:$email\"; $oelinkstyle>$email
   $terms";

You need to check out the eval() function.

Re: [PHP] Processing Code created on the fly

[Jonathan Duncan]

Yeah, I have played with the eval function a bit, but it didn't seem to help
much.  Then again, I haven't ever used the eval function before so I may not
know how to properly implement it.  I have read the page for eval on php.net
several times as well as the very helpful examples, but whenever I use eval,
it just prints out the same stuff.  By same stuff I mean wether I use eval
or just the variable by itself it just prints out the contents of the
variable.  In the web page source it looks as if the contents were merely
echoed because it still has the $'s and variable names.  Any other ideas or
examples on how to implement eval on this?

Thanks for the help,
Jonathan Duncan

Did you know that anyone is allowed to add an annotation to the manual?  
For instance, if you go to , you'll see several 
"user-contributed comments" (directly below the official text).  At the top 
and bottom of that block is a image of a plus sign and an image of a 
question mark; click on the plus sign to add your own note to the page.

[PHP] global vars in a function

[Justin French]

Hi,

Am I missing something? I'm trying to use vars set in my config.php file in
a function, and can't seem to do it without using $GLOBALS["varname"], which
is a bit of a pain in the

---config.php---
$var1 = 1;
---

---something.php---
function foo
{
if($var1)
{
echo "foo"; // doesn't work
}
}

function foo2
{
if($GLOBALS["var1"])
{
echo "foo"; // does work
}
}
---

Is there a way to make global vars available in each function, or is this
just the way things go?
