Yes, there are ways of determining the browser, but I believe what Jason was saying is that PHP happens on the server side (here we go again)... In other words, by the time it hits your browser, it's just HTML, combined with any JavaScript or CSS that you choose. So PHP can't interact with any client (browser)-side systems (like printing) at all. Printing a page is entirely up to the browser or client implementation. You may want to consider generating a multi-page RTF file or PDF which is generated on the fly, saved to disc, and printed upon your request. At least you only get the print window once.

Re: [PHP] emulating enable_trans_sid
Hi It just so happens I have been playing with an html parser making an html to xml converter. I started with phpHTMLparse class but it couldn't cope with the html generated by microsoft so I have modified it to better handle carriage returns,white space,comments and embedded commands in the html.

How will you communicate with PHP without submitting an HTTP request of some sort? So, really, you will need to submit -something-, though it could be GET data, POST data, or COOKIE data. You can't have JavaScript talk to PHP "within the same page" since the webserver/PHP "forgets" all information related to that page as soon as it shoots it to the user-agent. I'm assuming you know how to use JavaScript to set a cookie, and/or make a new request with GET or POST data attached. If not, let me know. Erik Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.

I am trying to compare a given date string (i.e. June 30, 2002 is
20020630). I want to make sure that the input string that is given is not
greater than today (i.e. if today is June 30, and you ask for 20020701, I
want to be able to throw an error).
I'm a newbie, so I'm not sure the best way to do this. My thought was
that if I take the year () and add on the day-of-year (i.e. Feb 10 =
041) then I would be able to compare them as you would any other numbers.
The problem I have then run into is that strftime and date seem to have
different opinions as to what day of the year it is.
date
z - day of the year; i.e. "0" to "365"
strftime
%j - day of the year as a decimal number (range 001 to 366)
I have these variables defined
$SEARCHYEAR =
i.e 2002
$SEARCHMONTH = MM
i.e. 06
$SEARCHDAY = DD
i.e. 30
$TODAYCMP=date ("Yz");
$SEARCHCMP=strftime("%Y%j",mktime(0,0,0,$SEARCHMONTH,$SEARCHDAY,$SEARCHYEAR));
and then I tried it for today and got
echo " ";
as a result I get
So I'm trying to figure out:
A) Why strftime and date don't handle leap years the same way
and (more importantly)
B) The best way to make sure a given date MMDD is not greater than
"today"
I did some googling & php.net searching without luck.
Thanks

It looks like you're dealing with MySQL dates. There are a ton of useful
functions you can use in your queries that make any time manipulation in
PHP unnecessary. Chapter 6, Date and Time Functions of the MySQL manual.

RE: [PHP] need to change $ char in string
Uli & others,
Thanx for the suggestions. This works as stated but the data already exists
in this format from an old database and I'm trying to parse it into logical
fields. Originally the data in the field looked something like
1$General/ms1.zip#12$Another/xqy.zip#. I deleted the ending # then used
explode to separate the information on the # and now I need to separate the
info before the $ from what comes after it. I've tried everyone's
suggestions but they only work if I'm testing and can define the string
using single quotes.
How can I split on a $ or change the $ to something else if I'm getting the
information from a database (MySQL), not defining it using single quotes
like in your example?

use single quotes: double quotes would confuse php with variable names.
it thinks that $General is a variable and replace it by it's empty content.
single quotes prevent php from evaluating the string:
$test_string = '1.2$General/ms1.zip';
single quotes on regex too (same reason). the backslash in this case
(\$) refers to perl regular expression syntax but does not take care of php

I noticed that when there are quotes, you don't have a space between the "

[PHP] Strange url include problem
Hello,
I'm having a little bit problems with including an url into my page...
When I do this:
include ("http://www.google.com/search?q=test&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF8&hl=nl&lr=";);
PHP returns an error:
Warning: Failed opening

This certainly makes me wonder, since that page loads perfectly in my

doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,

Probably choking on the cookie that Google is trying to send you. Try using
cURL or similar.

file. I don't want to search the entire file, and I just want to know if the
string exsists or not, but I don't really know what I'm doing. This is what
I was trying, it occurs inside a loop that is listing the files in a
directory.
$fp = fopen("$target_filename", "r");
$contents = fgets("$fp","4096");
if(strstr("$contents", "$search_str"))
{
echo "";

[PHP] Register globals off
I am learning PHP with version 4.2. (Win ME, Apache, MySQL) on a PC I have to understand the new "register globals off" methods and it seems like a good idea to learn that from the beginning but all the books and beginners guides gives examples the old way. Would it be true to say that every time an example is given where data is passed on (for forms and so forth) that I can simply replace the variable in the example with $_POST or $_GET? Or do I have to do more? eg if a simple PHP file for handling form input takes in the data using $LastName can I simply use $_POST["LastName"]?? It seems to work for a very simple example. But should I read the array into a variable first? And do I need to do any validation or declaring of variables etc?? [I did have a problem reading in a number - the solution was to put (int) before the POST array name though I don't understand why that was not needed with a string. I am also unclear what happens when you send something using header() - does that also go into an array - if so which one and how do I use it? This may all seem unecessarily complicated but I am not yet au fait with the whole thing.

[PHP] Handling of constants in strings
Hi,
when reading about constants (define('MY_CONSTANT', 'my value'))
I got convinced that they are pretty usefull.
But now it seems to me, that I can't use them inside a string:
$my_string = "This is MY_CONSTANT and I love it!";
but that I must take them out:
$my_string = "This is" . MY_CONSTANT . "and I love it!";
Isn't there a way around?
And must I suspect more strange things to come with constants?
greetings,
Uwe

It's all in the manual, but if you just start with understanding the $_POST and $_GET superglobals in relation to your forms, you've made a good first step. - Julie --> Julie Meloni --> [EMAIL PROTECTED] --> www.thickbook.com Find "Sams Teach Yourself MySQL in 24 Hours" at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672323494/thickbookcom-20 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Pretty much. If the data was passed by a "get"-method form, or through
the querystring, then the variable should be in the _GET array (such as
$_GET['variablename']). Likewise for "post"-method forms, and any
cookie variable names are now "$_COOKIE['variablename']". Server
variables like $PHP_SELF are now $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], and you can read
the rest under "predefined variables" in the manual at the web site.

Only if you want to -- you can always just refer to it as
$_GET['variablename']. In fact this is probably better for memory use.

All POSTed or GETed data is string data, so if you for some reason
explicitly need to cast the variable as an integer, then yes, you need
to use (int). But in many cases PHP does this automatically.

I'm assuming you mean sending some querystring data, like
header("Location: http://domain.com/page.php?data=contents";);
if so, then yes, you will end up with the string 'contents' in a
variable called $_GET['data'] .

[PHP] register_global, need some feedback
Hi!
With the register_global turned off. I'm working on making the login to
work again. So, I have a few questions.
1) $GLOBALS, Where does this come from and where does this goes to? I
noticed there is no variable declaration for this, so I just know that it is
part of PHP codes, although I haven't figure out what is it part of.
2) What would be the way to go to make it work, when changing it within this
script with register_global turned on to turned off?
--clip --
while (list($var, $value) = each($GLOBALS[HTTP_POST_VARS])
{
$GLOBALS[$var] = stripslashes(trim($value));
}
reset ($GLOBALS[HTTP_POST_VARS]);
--clip--
I tried different ways to make it work and I kept getting the error saying
" Variable passed to each() is not an array or object "
" Variable passed to reset() is not an array or object "

RE: [PHP] SMS Again, UK
Well, funnily enough, your question has much the same answer ... If you have a mobile phone and your service provider offers a web gateway, you can use it to send SMS messages. They will provide a script that you can use. If you have an Orange phone, see the Orange web site. If it's a Voda, see their web site, and so on. The charge is usually the same as it would be if you sent the message from your phone, but if you have a contract it may include "free" messages. There are services such as NovelSoft (http://www.sms-wap.com) that are independant of provider, but you have to pay for them too. Novelsoft is quite cheap, and there are PHP scripts on the site, but some providers don't accept their messages. I have a NovelSoft account, but I can't use it to send messages to my Orange phone. I read somewhere that this is because some of their customers used the service to send spam.

RE: [PHP] SMS Again, UK
Oh yes, I forgot about email, which was mentioned in another answer to this FAQ. Some providers give you an email address with your phone, for example I believe that One2One (or whatever it's called today) give you @one2one.com. Email sent to that address arrives at your phone as an SMS. Somebody has to pay for the message, so it's probably you. By the way, there is no guarantees on how long it will take to deliver an SMS, or if it will ever arrive. Typically 1% never arrive, more if the network is very busy because something interesting has just happened on "Big Brother" and everybody below 35 in the UK is sending a text (to somebody who is busy sending them one). That means it's wise to send a text, wait a few minutes and send it again. Buy a UPS with plenty of capacity ... Oh yes, and don't forget to put all of the network access devices on the UPS - the router, the switch and so on. Otherwise when the power fails, you won't be able to access the message gateway across the web.

RE: [PHP] need to change $ char in string
(After typing I see that the problem is solved. I send it anyway -
hope you people don't mind the redundancy :-)
Why don't you use explode() again on the $ like Jason suggested ?
This does not even require single quotes :-)
You might also want to have a look at split() and preg_split().
It should make no difference that the data comes from a database.
The $ probably requires no quoting (\) then. So I don't think this will help
but you might try to apply quotemeta() before splitting or replacing.
I suggest that you take a close look at the data in you old database.
Are there any additional special characters that might ruin the effort ?
The preg_* functions can make use of pattern modifiers that
change the way these functions handle newlines for example
(see regular expressions).
If all of the above does not help you can have MySQL handle it:

[PHP] M$-SQL Access from RH7.3
List, I've a RH7.3 machine (just installed) and want to get PHP to access my M$ SQL database. I'm on a small time crunch here too. My M$ web server died and it's so hosed that I had to call support (ouch!). Anyways...they haven't fixed it yet and I thought it would be funny to get my RH7.3/Apache/PHP server to replace it before they could fix my machine ;>. I've done this once before (like last year or so) but I cannot finc my docs so any pointers would be great.

Re: [PHP] mySQL time = year 2038 [HELP]
Perhaps the problem is in your translation. NOW() records a timestamp that is formated by MMDDHHMMSS. If you are translating this in PHP a function designed to take in a UNIX timestamp (that is "Unix Epoch" time , the number of seconds from some date 30 years ago) you will recieve a rather confusing result. This may not be the problem but it was just a thought. -Kevin - Original Message - From: "Shane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 10:38 AM Subject: [PHP] mySQL time = year 2038 [HELP] > Checked the archive and saw no difinitives... so...

[PHP] uploading a file - here is the error message...
Here is the error I'm receiving when attempting to upload a file Warning: Unable to create 'temp/test.txt': Permission denied in /home/.../www/website/upload3.php on line 11 ..could it be that my web host isn't giving me permissions to upload files ?
RE: [PHP] uploading a file - here is the error message...
The web server needs write access to where you're trying to store the files. Check the directory permissions.

Re: [PHP] uploading a file - here is the error message...
That's always possible. Unless you have access to your temp directory you will not be able to update the permissions. At this point I would email your host and ask them about the situation.

Re: [PHP] uploading a file - here is the error message...
Hi Phil, first thing u should do is to check permission of this directory (CHMOD). the 2nd one, u should replace function "copy" with "move_uploaded_file". than is should work.

[PHP] help with regex in preg_match();
Hi people,
I got this line that is relly giving me a pain..:
if (preg_match("@siteUserList.cgi\?group=site177(&?)@",
$QUERY_STRING))
As you can see it just matches the query string when it looks like
this: siteUserList.cgi?group=site177& (with or without a "&")
The thing is I need it to match also if after the "&" there is a number
(that will have more than 1 digit)
Ive tried many diffrent thing with \d+ but I can get it to work.. can
somebody give me some light? Thanks.

RE: [PHP] XML Problem
I looked over the revised version of the document and unfortunately I still don't fully understand. I know that I have to save the data on each line, and then either display it or turn it into a variable. You put the data in an array and then implode it into a string, however I am not 100% certain about this process...

Re: [PHP] help with regex in preg_match();
Hi,
something like this:
$QUERY_STRING = "siteUserList.cgi?group=site177&2345";
if
(preg_match("#siteUserList.cgi\?group=site177(&?[\d]*)#",$QUERY_STRING,$array11))
{
echo "found: $array11[0]$array11[1]";
}

[PHP] Query String...
Never have encountered this. When I include a query string on the URL line I can not access the variables. For example: www.tim.com?action=move I should be able to access the variable action. However I am currently not able to do this. I am not receiving an error of any kind, but nothing is being produced when I echo or print this as $action. Is there a setting that I've missed somewhere? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks Tim Nields -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
