But what happens is instead of sending html page it sends as a text with all code 
displayed as it is without being parsed.

Please tell what can I do to send rich text emails as the this one u are reading to

i'm sweating on this one :

function sql_fetch_row($res, $nr)
{
global $dbtype;  
switch ($dbtype) {   
 
case "MySQL":
$row = mysql_fetch_row($res);
return $row;
break;;
...
}

it iz used in a php_layer.php from phpnuke, but somehow it gives errors... if i put a 
"@" like this:

$row = @mysql_fetch_row($res);

i get no errors, but no result either. Where stands the @ for? I can't find any info 
on thizz, what's wrong?

First off, anyone using phpnuke is on their own, try phpnuke.org for 
help.  But an @ before a function suppresses error messages, it doesn't 
make errors go away, so it's doing precisely what it is supposed to.  I 
also see two ;'s in a row, perhaps that is the problem, or perhaps the 
query was bad and that renders fetch_row useless.

We or anyone would have a far better chance of helping out if you 
explained what the error is... it will be alot easier than debunking the 
  code of phpnuke on our own.

[PHP] GD (Image generator) {?!}

[Liam MacKenzie]

Hi guys,

Got a little prob that's got me stumped.
This simple image generator script:
http://scripts.operationenigma.net/image_generator.php
Source: http://scripts.operationenigma.net/image_generator.phps
works, I know because it was working on my system before I recompiled PHP.
Feel free to have a play, but just clicking submit as-is should generate a
black box with the text in it.

Now, however, it doesn't work...
Here's my phpinfo():
http://scripts.operationenigma.net/phpinfo.php
It says GD's compiled in there, but it doesn't work!

Surely there's a logical explanation for this...
Any help is appreciated  :-)

Cheers,
Liam

[PHP] Raising a custom error -- how?

[Sqlcoders.com Programming Dept]

Hiya,
I want to be able to raise an error in some code I'm creating for reuse,
most parts of this code deals with errors and just uses defaults as
appropriate,
but I need to be able to raise an error that will stop the PHP script
interpreter and throw an error back to the developer.

I've tried searching the manual for "user defined error", "throw error",
"raise error" etc,
but I guess it's just one of those functions that it's hard to find without
already knowing where to find it.

Any help would be appreciated!,
Dw.

[PHP] help with sort problem

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all, 
I hope someone might help me with a little puzzle...

I have bunch of db results and one of the fields is 'name', 
I want to see if there are 2 parts to it like FirstName LastName and if
so order by the last name.

I can see explode() being the php function I need here but am a little
lost as to what will happen if there is only one word in the name var.

If someone can suggest what I might do that would be great! 
many thanks...

[PHP] XML: Similiar Multiple Tags With Different Data

[Sebastian A.]

Hello
 I have recently been trying to parse an XML document that has different
content in the same tags. Here is an example:

1
2
3
...

I am trying to get the content from  into an array. I want the
content of the first  to go into $p->ART_ID[0] and the next to go
into $p->ART_ID[1] and so on. Here is what my Element Content Function looks
like:

-

function elementContent($parser, $data, $attrs='') {
global $tag, $data, $test;
global $p;

$ti = sizeof( $tag ) - 1;


if ( $tag[$ti] == 'LIST_ITEM' ) {

$p->ART_ID[] .= $data;
}


}



When I type in echo $p->ART_ID[0]  I should get 1 however I get 1 2 3. For
some reason all the content goes only into one section of the array. Does
anyone know how I can fix this?


Thanks.

Not knowing exactly what it is you want I'm assuming the following: if there 
is a lastname use that in the sort, otherwise use the firstname. Thus your 
sorted list will look something like:

  Bryan Adams (Adams, Bryan)
  Arnold
  Brian
  John Butcher (Butcher, John)

If that is what you want then:
while (names) {
  explode the name
  if there is more than one element swap it, then join
  add this processed name onto a new array
}

use one of the array sort functions to sort the new array.

[PHP] Problem with new variable system in 4.2

[andy]

Hi there,

I did upgrade to 4.2 and now I am "recoding" :-(  my whole application.

So I did get behind the basic idea, but there is one case, where I just dont
know how to solve it:

Im a doing something similar like on php.net when you type in
php.net/functionname. In my .htaccess file I do redirect in case of a 404 to
a php page where I do redirect to a page called /profiles/8001.html
In the file profiles (which is a php file not a dir) I do grab the
8001.html and extract the 8001 to explode it into parameters. Then I
do grab the functionname (or in my case user name) to redirect him to the
propper site.

In php4.1.1 it worked fine. Now I changed the first function to:
 $PATH_INFO = $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI];  (was $PATH_INFO in 4.1.1)

The username was fetched in 4.1.1 with ( I know I have to change this as
well):
$parameter = explode('/', $REQUEST_URI);
$user_name = $parameter[1];

So now I do get as $PATH_INFO the username which is mixing up my whole idea!
How can I get both parameters like in good old former times :-)

Do u see my trouble?

I appreciate every help on that,

Thanx, Andy

[PHP] Re: Problem with new variable system in 4.2

[andy]

basicly this problem seems to result of the new way I do get the string from
the url

I used to get it with $PATH_INFO
Now I do a  $PATH_INFO = $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI];

which is not the same result.

Does anybody know a equal command for $PHP_INFO ?

[PHP] Is This Possible? (Database - PHP)

[r]

Hey there guys,
I have a slight problem which i could not solve via Java servlets and now
that I am migrating to PHP I was wondering if its possible...

I am hosting with a company that has given me a database (MySql) I am using
the database for all my apps which are only being accessed via my
servlets... I want to change that and convert all my servlets to PHP.
Being new to PHP i am sure to make a lot of mistakes and instead of
uploading my PHP page, getting errors/ redoing it, uploading etc I was kinda
hoping i could connect to the remote database via my local machine?
I already have PHP installed on my machine. on the remote host the
details are

Localhost
jimmy*** (Username)
gunsand* (Password)
umace_com (Database name)

Is this possible?
Any help and comments appreciated.
Cheers,
-Ryan

RE: [PHP] help with sort problem

[John Holmes]

You really want to handle this in your database. If you need data to be
in two fields, first name and last name, then put it in your database
that way. Save yourself some time. How easy is it to just add another
text field in your form, and insert one more variable into the
database??? 

Whatever kind of "hack" you come up with in PHP is going to be a waste
of time and memory.

Re: [PHP] Problem with new variable system in 4.2

[Philip Olson]

> In php4.1.1 it worked fine. Now I changed the first function to:
>  $PATH_INFO = $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI];  (was $PATH_INFO in 4.1.1)

$PATH_INFO worked fine because register_globals was on 
which essentially created $PHP_INFO from $_SERVER['PHP_INFO'] 
so how about you do this:

  if (!ini_get('register_globals')) {
extract($HTTP_SERVER_VARS);
  }

So if register_globals = off, $PHP_INFO will exist as will 
all web server predefined variables, like $DOCUMENT_ROOT.

If you are unsure what predefined variable to use, make 
a call to phpinfo() and it'll show you exactly what is 
available to the script.  And print_r() will also be helpful 
for various activities too.

It depends on whether your hosting company allows remote connections to the 
mysql server. Speak to them.

RE: [PHP] Is This Possible? (Database - PHP)

[John Holmes]

Yes, it's certainly possible. You will have to talk your host into
giving you remote access though, which could be hard. 

How permissions work in MySQL is that your username is given permission
to connect from a specific host. Generally, the host is listed as
'localhost' meaning the script has to be on the same server as MySQL.
You can also have '%' as your host, meaning you can connect from
anywhere. Or, when your ISP assigns you an IP, the first 2 or 3 octets
are generally the same. So you could put something like '123.123.%' or
'123.123.123.%' in your host. 

You hosting provider, if they're any good, will know all about this.
It's hard to talk people into giving you access, though, because they
are generally pretty paranoid.

I think it's pretty obvious it was removed during the PHP4
development so that Zend would have a 'value add' to sell later.

That's the cynical part of me answering, obviously, and I've
never heard an answer one way or another why it was removed,
but the timing seems pretty remarkable.

You didn't get flamed because you're a newbie, you got flamed
because it appeared you didn't do ANY research at all - you have
a book but didn't seem to read it (I'd guess there's at least a mention
of it there) but more importantly you didn't seem to even hit a basic
search engine.  Search google.com or the php.net site for 'sleep' and 
you'd have gotten exactly what you were looking for. You may have well 
asked if PHP has a way to do something "if" a condition is true.

Abstract issues about arrays are a bit harder to get across in a search 
engine, because you're not looking for syntax but perhaps more a 
tutorial (I'd guess searching for 'php array tutorial' would net you 
exactly what you want though too).

Use search engines first - you're bounch to find exactly what you're 
looking for in a fraction of a time it takes people multiple people to 
read and respond, then for you to get those responses.

RE: [PHP] help with sort problem

[Jason Soza]

I actually asked this same type of question not too long ago. Just separate
the name field into first_name and last_name - it'll be better in the long
run. It's not as hard as it sounds - dump your table, use some program that
will read comma delimited stuff and export as tab-delimited (I used Excel),
separate the first and last names, modify your table to have the correct
columns, clear it, add the data back in (LOAD DATA...)

It may require some modification of your scripts you already have, but
really it's just much cleaner this way. I didn't want to do it simply
because I was lazy and using PHP to do this for me seemed to be the easier
choice. It's not, and doing it that way is far from efficient.

HTH,

Jason Soza

[PHP] E-mail Confirmation script?

[Andre Dubuc]

I've looked about for an 'Email Confirmation' script that many sites use for 
verifcation of wannabee new members. That is, the person subscribes, is sent 
a 'confirmation' number to which they must have in the 'Subject' area of 
their reply. 

I would like to implement this on my site, but I haven't discovered a source 
for a script, or how to go about doing it. That is, how do you retrieve items 
from an incoming e-mail, and is it possible to parse the same?

If anyone who has seen such a script could point me to where I could find 
one, I would greatly appreciate it, or in the Manual, what it would be listed 
under. The 'mail()' function doesn't seem to include how to access received 
e-mails, and to parse individual copmponents of a message.

Btw, does anyone know what's up with the 'Search' function of the PHP-general 
lst? It always seems to be 'offline'. Rather hard to search the archives for 
previously asked questions.

Tia, 
Andre

[PHP] PHP Boolean Interpreter - Need to search a mySQL database

[SpamSucks86]

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good Boolean interpreters (NOT,
AND, OR, +, -, |," ")? I've found three, but they're VERY buggy and I
wouldn't put them into production. Frankly, I don't have the time,
patience, or ability to write a good one from scratch. Here are the
three I've found in case anyone's interested:

RE: [PHP] E-mail Confirmation script?

[SP]

I would suggest just sending them an email with a
link like this and telling them to click on it to
confirm their membership.

http://www.mysite.com/confirm.php?uniqueid=2i3k238
s9sd0s99d

The confirm.php page would look up the uniqueid
and try to find it in your database.  If it's
there then that means the email address they gave
you exists and they have access to that email
account cuz they know that uniqueid.

After confirming, you could send a "welcome user"
email and include another link that they can use
for all other account management like
unsubscribing, changing password, changing
personal info ...

Re: [PHP] E-mail Confirmation script?

[r]

Hey,
Why dont you just add a link to a script and validate it like that?
eg:
Click below to confirm you email id
**
http://yoursite.tld/confirm.php?[EMAIL PROTECTED]&confirmno=5675678
**

Once you get the confirm id and no just check it within your database and
flag it as true.
Simple.

I have been using the above example for yearsthough not in PHP, but i'm
sure it will work.

Cheers,
-Ryan

Depends on your view point, the client was happy with one field for the
name and now wants the records returned sorted by last name. Bastard.
There is loads of stuff to edit in the 'admin' program and it's
interaction with other tables and processes in the site so the PHP fix
was actually simpler.

Yep, cheers Jason, here's what I came up with 

function sort_teachers() {

global $teach;

$array_2_sort=array();

foreach($teach->list_teachers() as $key => $val) {
$split=explode(" ", $val["name"]);
$array_2_sort[$key]=end($split);
}
asort($array_2_sort);
return($array_2_sort);

Re: [PHP] Re: Debugger

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

That's just not the case.  The debugger in PHP 3 would not work at all in
PHP 4 and would need a complete rewrite.  So, being cynical you might say
that someone should have written a debugger for PHP 4 and the fact that
nobody did was the conspiracy, but it makes no sense to say it was removed
for conspiracy reasons.  I mean if the PHP 3 debugging code worked with
PHP 4, then you could just take the code from PHP 3 and use it.  It's not
like it is deleted from CVS.

I'll stand corrected on that.  I'd not looked at the code closely enough 
to know if there were major compatibility problems.

Are there any movements to get things like the stack trace module and 
the Russian dbg debugger module into the standard PHP distribution?

If there was at least some links on the PHP.net site, that would help
people to know they're available.

First off, anyone using phpnuke is on their own, try phpnuke.org for
help.  But an @ before a function suppresses error messages, it doesn't
make errors go away, so it's doing precisely what it is supposed to.  I
also see two ;'s in a row, perhaps that is the problem, or perhaps the
query was bad and that renders fetch_row useless.

We or anyone would have a far better chance of helping out if you
explained what the error is... it will be alot easier than debunking the
  code of phpnuke on our own.

[PHP] using cookies and flash problem

[Deadsam]

I'm having a problem with using cookies and flash, I'm new to php so it's
more then likely my coding, I have a forum made from flash/php/mysql, and
I'm trying to use cookies for the username and password so they dont have to
log in, I have manage to create the cookies no problem, its the rest thats
wrong, I'll post the code to read the cookies:
 0) {
//Loop through all the cookies...
foreach($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS as $cookieName => $cookieValue){
//output name and value
print "$cookiename=$cookieValue&";
}
} else {
//otherwise out no cookies
print "&userStatus=you are not logged in";
}
?>

In flash I used a loadVariableNum("http://www.deadsam.com/cookiescript.php";,
this, "POST");

I keep getting errors with this.
If anyone has an answer to this I'd appreciate it very much.

You have multiple questions with the same answers?  Then split your
table into two tables and put all your answers in one and your questions
in the other.  Then include another table that contains question and
answer id equivalents.

Re: [PHP] Search Engine With Boolean Support <--Please help

[Matthew Ward]

This is a bit of a tricky one, as a search engine isn't just some 10 line
code you can quickly type and expect to work. It'd be quite complex, because
you have to run several queries for each of the boolean types, and you also
have to account somehow for case-sensitivity.

I'm currently working on a search engine to incorporate into my Content
Management System (more info at http://www.inspirationstudios.co.uk/dot/cms)
that incorporates all your requirements so I'll get back to you with some
more coding info once I've worked on it there.

RE: [PHP] Search Engine With Boolean Support <--Please help

[Miguel Cruz]

Well, a search engine is not a trivial proposition. If you just have a few
hundred records without huge amounts of text, you can build SQL queries
and it's no big deal.

But if you expect it to scale, you need to turn the problem upside down 
and index the words. This means you build a table of words and a table 
that cross-references the word table to your text by saying which word 
appears at which position in which item. Every time you insert text, you 
update these other two tables accordingly. Then you can easily query 
against them to find any combination of words without waiting for it to 
crawl through all the text in your database. 

I don't know whether there's available PHP code, but it's a 
well-understood problem that has been solved countless times before, so 
you should be able to find a book that breaks it down into pseudocode you 
can rewrite as PHP. Or maybe you'll find something pre-made. How useful 
that will be depends on how peculiar your requirements are.

Not really, but be realistic.  If you want a cookie that lasts longer

Re: [PHP] Printing line "x" in a file

[Thalis A. Kalfigopoulos]

If the file is relatively small, then the easiest would be to use file() which reads a 
file into an array

$file_array=file($filename);
$text=$file_array[$line];

Re: [PHP] protecting downloads with php

[Peter H. Lemieux]

It can be tricky to write download wrappers that work with all browsers.
Some versions of Internet Explorer seem especially troublesome.

I've found wrappers like these seem to work fairly well:

initialization();
authorization($user,$pw);
$info=get_file_info($filepointer);
### SEND HEADERS ###
header("Content-Type: ".$info["mimetype"]);
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=".$info["filename"]);
### NO TEXT CAN BE ECHOED BEFORE HERE ###

### Open the file and display it
$fp=fopen($filepath."/".$info["filename"],"r");
fpassthru($fp);
fclose($fp);

### END

A few observations:

PHP will complain if you send any text to the browser before calling
header() (since HTTP headers can't be sent once the data segment begins).
Sometimes this problem can be hard to track down.  I've left invisible
whitespace after the closing ?> tag in a file included above the calls to
the header function().  The PHP parser naturally views this whitespace as
HTML content and echoes it to the browser.

The "filename" portion of the second header usually points to the name of
the file itself without any leading path component.

Some versions of Internet Explorer fail to initiate the download unless a
separate window is opened.

Most modern *nix systems have a mime.types file.  A quick scan of one
RedHat Linux 7.1 machine finds the Apache mime.types file stored as
/etc/mime.types along with some sample mime.types files installed by
applications like lynx and mutt.  The file is delimited by white space
(usually a tab) between the type and list of extensions making it easy to
write a function that converts it into an array $mimetype[$extension].

If you collect inbound files by mail (as I do) or by HTTP upload, you'll
find the file's MIME type in the session headers.  Since most people's
mail or web client runs on the same machine as their application, these
headers are usually pretty accurate.

[PHP] Generate inline image

[Engineering Software Center]

Hi:
How do I generate gif inline images using PHP's image functions using GD
libs.  Everything I have seen so far requires a header before generating
the image.  But I want the image embedded into a table with other
texts.  Thank you for the help.

Thanks for that link... that's a great piece of code!

With error reporting cranked right up it throws a few warnings,
but no errors. It certainly performs as described.

The only thing it doesn't seem to do is check for "+".
But adding that is a 30 second task.

If this isn't good enough for you, just what are you looking for?

[PHP] sessions

[Jas]

I am a little confused on how to keep a variable registered on more than one
page.  For example you log into a page which queries the database.  Form
code is as follows...





User Name:
  
Password:
  




The auth_done.php then checks to see if the user entered anything for the
username and password and if it doesnt it will re-direct them to the login
page.  If the un and pw has been entered it will then query the database for
a valid entry, code is as follows...
You have been authorized to make changes to the
web site.";
session_is_registered('u_name');
session_is_registered('p_word');
session_start();
} else {
header("Location: index.php");
exit;
}
?>








edit pages


The problem I am having is if the user clicks the link for edit.php the
session variables "u_name" and "p_word" are not being passed and I can't do
any other checking with out that.  Please help, good tutorials on this are
very appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Jas

[PHP] header problems

Can anyone tell me if there is any reason why this would not be working?

mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass) or die(header("Location:

What im trying to do is connect to the database and if that fails send the
browser to the error page. But the browser just sits there on the page that

if you have the globals setting in your ini file set to "on" then you can

otherwise, I think, it's found in $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] - just check for

If the content is going to be the same each time, then loading from a
flat-file would probably be better, because accessing a database would
require the connection to be established, the database to parse and execute
your query, then send that data back. Where as reading from the file, it's
just open file, read file, close file, a lot quicker.

Watch out though... the HTTP_REFERER data is provided by the user
and cannot be trusted. It can't even be guaranteed to exist.

If all the pages are on the same site, you could embed the form
filename in a hidden field on the form so it is passed to the script.

Or since that's also open to abuse by malicious users, you could
track where the user is in the site using session variables.

Just to be picky, predefined reserved server variables will 
always exist in both $HTTP_SERVER_VARS and $_SERVER.  So, 
everyone could go through one of these predefined variables 
regardless of the register_globals value.

Of course HTTP_REFERER may or may not exist.  And $_SERVER 
became available in PHP 4.1.0.  $HTTP_SERVER_VARS has been 
around since the 90's :)

A related faqt on HTTP_REFERER in PHP can be seen here:

  Why does $HTTP_REFERER return an empty string?
  http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/31

So regarding the question, do something like so 
in script.php

  print $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
  print $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_REFERER'];

Personally I love registering server vars in the 
scope and many times will do this (on top of the 
script):

  if (!ini_get('register_globals')) {
  extract($HTTP_SERVER_VARS);
  }

In this case, it's safe to use $HTTP_REFERER even if 
register_globals = off as it will then be created.

I think you need to set the

accessible

line in their respective config.inc.php and of course have the appropriate 
grants set on the various dbs.

[PHP] GD (Image generator) {!?}

Hi guys,

Got a little prob that's got me stumped.
This simple image generator script:
http://scripts.operationenigma.net/image_generator.php
Source: http://scripts.operationenigma.net/image_generator.phps
works, I know because it was working on my system before I recompiled PHP.
Feel free to have a play, but just clicking submit as-is should generate a
black box with the text in it.

Now, however, it doesn't work...
Here's my phpinfo():
http://scripts.operationenigma.net/phpinfo.php
It says GD's compiled in there, but it doesn't work!

Surely there's a logical explanation for this...
Any help is appreciated  :-)

Cheers,

You can achieve the same effect (having the same function do
something else in a different circumstance) by making
parameters optional:



$param1 is required, $param2 is optional - if its not

[PHP] Getting substring of text for first paragraph

[Steven Jarvis]

I want to do the following:

Big chunk of text is stored in variable $a. Paragraph breaks are 
signalled by two line breaks.

I want to just extract the first paragraph (i.e., all the text up to the 
first set of two line breaks) from $a.

How would I do this?

I tried exploding $a into an array, then doing a while loop inside a for 
loop, but it was taking WAY too long to execute (it was timing out).

Is there an easy way to do this that I'm just overlooking?

Thanks,

Steven

How big is big? 100 lines? 10,000 lines? 1,000,000 lines?

The easiest would be

  $first_graf = substr($big_text, 0, strpos($big_text, "\n\n"));

The manual is your friend. There's a function for almost anything. While 
you are eating your corn flakes in the morning you should be reading 
through them and filing them away in your brain.

[PHP] Re: WELCOME to php-general@lists.php.net

[Manisha]

I am having a form, I want to write the form values into csv file.

I just want to know whether it is necessary (compulsory) to have file lock 
before writing to file?

There is only my program which is writing in the file - no other program. 
But many users can connect to web at a time - So is it necessary to have 
file lock ?

thanks in advance

In a particularly masochistic project, we achieved function overloading by 
creating a global array $F that linked public to hidden names of all our 
functions. To overload, just change the hidden name.

  $F['list_items'] = 'main_list_items';

Then later, if we wanted to overload list_items, just do

  $F['list_items'] = 'substitute_list_items';

This functions would be called like:

  $F['list_items']($param1, $param2, $etc);

It worked fine but sure took some getting used to.

It is definitely a good idea if you don't want corruption. You may find a 
database is easier in the long run.

Do you mean to say that even if it is not compulsory - it is advisable to 
do so ?

RE: [PHP] random order

[John Holmes]

I don't know if this will work or not, but try

SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id, RAND();

That should keep all of the questions and answers together, but give a
random order for the answers.. ?? Like I said, not exactly sure on it
though.

Best option, like someone else said, is to split this up into two
tables.

[PHP] inserting data to mutliple mysql tables

[Peter]

Hi,

I have a table that's full of references to indexs in other tables if I want
to insert a new record do I have to make a script to insert into all the
tables ie:

insert script for table 1
insert script for table 2
insert script for table 3
insert script for table 4

or can I have it all in one insert statement like you can with the SELECT
statement ie

INSERT INTO table1, table2, table3, table4 (blah, blah1, blah2, blah3,
blah4, blah5) VALUES('$blah', '$blah1', '$blah2', '$blah3', '$blah4',
'$blah5');


and if i can do it that way how do i get the table referencing the indexes
to show the reference number rather than the actual inputted data ie: say
table1 is the reference table and table 2 is the table that matches up the
username with the real name where i want the actual full information to be
stored.

eg table 1

id userid
1 10

table 2

id username nameid
10 boo 15

table 3

id name extra fields in here
15 bob Smith

now when i add a new record I want table one to be have the new userid added
to it table 2 to have the full user name matched to their nameid inserted
and table 3 to get the full name of the person...

any ideas?

Cheers

Peter

Yes, because otherwise you may have processes overwriting each others' 
data.

Re: [PHP] inserting data to mutliple mysql tables

[Miguel Cruz]

This is a MySQL question, not a PHP question.

Anyway, with MySQL you can't do this as a single operation. Do your
inserts one after the other.  You can use mysql_insert_id() after each one
to get the value of an auto_increment field that was created, and feed
that into your next SQL statement.

You mean whether or not to interpret file as php depending on .php, .php3 etc 
? If so that is determined at run-time by your webserver.

[PHP] Getting only 255 chars from SQL Server

[David McGregor]

I have an SQL Server database running on a server on the internet. I 
need to have php connecting to the db and returning values. Simple 
stuff. No problem making the connection and getting data using the mssql 
functions. The weird thing is that 4 of the fields in the table are 
vchar fields of length 800. When getting the data from the db for the 
web page, all that gets returned are the first 255 characters of each 
field. If I use a SQL client to check the db, I see that all 800 
characters are there. And if I use ASP pages I can get all 800 
characters returned on the web page, but using php only gets the first 
255. I used some php column length functions on the page and it shows 
those 4 fields as length 255.(??)
Am I missing something? Does php have a limit on the number of 
characters returned from a field? I can use ASP to write the pages I 
guess, but I don't know why php wouldn't work.

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks every one who replied

Sorry for posting that question here.

Miguel thanks for putting me on the right track with this .. i couldn't get
it to work with mysql_insert_id() but looking that up it basically said that
this one works better LAST_INSERT_ID()  but I wouldn't have found that if
you didn't put me in the right direction so thank :)
