It works here, but it returns only an ID if the table in which you add a
record has a AutoIncrement column, because it will returns the value of the
AutoIncrement column.

[PHP] connection with bibit (XML)

[Wilbert Enserink]

Hi all,


I am trying to set up a connection between my site and a payment system (bibit). Does 
anybody know some good URL's which can help set up the connection and parse all XML 
messages. I'm sure this must have been done before...so there should be no reason to 
invent the wheel again.

thx. Wilbert

[PHP] not passing arguments from HTTP GET?

[Mark Setzer]

Hi all,

I am running PHP 4.2.2 on Apache 1.3.26 under MacOS X 10.2. My scripts' 
functionality seems to have gone amok, and while I am not sure this is 
the fault of php directly, I was hoping someone could help me track 
down the problem.

Basically, if I have a script that I pass arguments to on a get 
request, the argument seems to be processed (ie, it is found in 
$_SERVER["argv"][0]), but the actual argument itself has no effect. For 
example, I have a script that checks for a date variable:

if ($date) { print $date; }

and when I call it by loading http://www.../date.php?date=2002-09-11 - 
the script produces nothing, even though the argv(0) is 
"date=2002-09-11". What's at fault here, any ideas? I am using a binary 
distro (it's linked from the php site) for OSX, but I've used it in the 
past and never encountered such a problem. Other PHP functionality 
seems fine, so I don't think my webserver is in error. The code seems 
ridiculously simple.

Head-scratcher.

Thanks for any help,
Mark

[PHP] sessions nightmare

[Chris]

Greetings,

I am a new user to php and sessions and for the life of me I
cannot figure this out

I want to be able to have a user login (which is completed), they goto a
search page (completed), and search for a particular item (completed). A
page will display all the links for the items searched for (completed).
What I want out of sessions is to when they click on the link for a
particular item, the item number stay in a session so it can be called
through out each page they goto. What I have as a base of test code is the
following (this was taken from someone's example):

test1.php:



Goto next page


test2.php:





After you click the hyperlink on test1.php, test2.php will load and the
session ID is in the URL, but nothing is displayed in the echo for
$SESSION[item] in test2.php. What is going on?!#!#!$#


Thanks a million in advance!!

Re: [PHP] sessions nightmare

[John Wards]

I can't see anything sticking out...but why have you done this...

$test2Url = "test2.php?PHPSESSID=" . session_id(  );

You don't need to do this. Try doing this

$test2Url = "test2.php";

Your server might be set up to use a different name for sessions

try this:

when you start with a single quote -> you have to end with a single quote

I use JavaScript cookie to accomplish what you're doing in your case:


function setCookie(name, value, expires, path, domain, secure) {
  var curCookie = name + "=" + escape(value) +
  ((expires) ? "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +
  ((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
  ((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
  ((secure) ? "; secure" : "");
  document.cookie = curCookie;
}

function nav(value)
{
  setCookie('searcheditem', value);
  location.replace('after-search-click.php');
}


now in my search result display i do:

.
.
then in whatever page I want the search result item, i access it as:
$searchitem (as named in setCookie() call)


good luck,

In test2.php:
Your echo line is incorrect. $SESSION[item] is not defined, $SESSION["item"]
probably is...but why are you storing an array in a session?

Try using $_SESSION instead of session_register, e.g.:

test1.php:
$SESSION["item"] = $retrieved_itemno;
$_SESSION["SESSION"] = $SESSION;

test2.php:
$SESSION= $_SESSION["SESSION"];
echo "The retrieved value equals to " . $SESSION["item"];

[PHP] Re: sessions nightmare

[Philippe Saladin]

Your variable in session is called "Item", so session_register("SESSION") is
wrong. It should be session_register("Item"). But, as you use directly the
new syntax ($_SESSION) to affect the variable, you don't need
session_register. The variable "Item" will be automatically registered when
you write $_SESSION["Item"] = $retrived_itemno;
And, be careful for the typo : it is $_SESSION["Item"] and not
$SESSION[Item] (notice the _ and the "").
Regards,
Philippe

A tip : display what is in your session with this code :
echo '';
print_r($_SESSION);
echo '';

Re: [PHP] Questions regarding inserting and updating data into aMySQL db

[Marek Kilimajer]

mysql_insert_id() will tell you the number of last auto_increment 
insert, you can use this, but you must keep it using session on the 
server side for security reasons. But better solution be to use session 
or hidden fields in your forms to pass the values from page to page and 
insert them at once on the last page.

[PHP] PHP as a tool for developing enterprise systems.

[Scott Houseman]

Dear all.

I have just had a discussion in which it was said that PHP cannot be used
to develop a *true* enterprise system.
In light of this, I would be very interested to hear you
comments/opinions/arguments on:
1. What would you consider to be a true enterprise system?
2.Is his statement correct? If so, what features does PHP lack which make
this so?
3.If this is not true, what arguments can I use to refute this?

Regards

[PHP] Sessions problem and unsettling Session variables

[David Russell]

Hi all,

I have a problem...

I have 3 pages in a search mechanism.

Page 1 (Search.php) 
unsets all related session variables. 
It then displays a form which allows the user to specify search
criteria. Submission sends us to Page 2

Page 2 (generateListSQL.php)
Sets up the basic database search query
Adds the filters specified in page 1 to the search query
Each filter is saved as a session variable (using $_SESSION['varname'] =
$_GET['varname'];) to re-process later if needed
Saves the final (working) SQL queries as session variables
Calls Page 3

Page 3 (ListBPF.php)
Displays the filter conditions (from the Session Variables)
Executes the query
Displays the results in a table.

This all works - on the first attempt. Subsequent attempts will happily
overwrite the session variables, but will not remove them (as specified
in page 1)
Page 1 startes with:

Session_start();
$_SESSION['variablename1'] = null;
unset ($_SESSION['Variablename1'];
$_SESSION['variablename2'] = null;
unset ($_SESSION['Variablename2'];
$_SESSION['variablename3'] = null;
unset ($_SESSION['Variablename3'];

And so on.
Why will this not work? I refresh the page. I am using PHP 4.2.2.
Register Globals - Off, Track Vars - on. Any ideas why the session
variables refuse to be unset?

Thanks

Check the status of register_globals in your php.ini . If it is off, get
variables are available from $_GET['variable_name'] such as $_GET['date'].

You could choose to turn register_variables ON (it used to be on by default
in earlier versions of PHP) or you could choose to turn it on in an
.htaccess directive by folder since you're running Apache.

HTH!

[PHP] PHP, ask questions

[Ralf Bengl]

hallo ...,

my name is ralf and i read the comments from the last weeks about
"download a file" with php on
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php.

i tryed a few of this examples, but i have still a problem with downloading
a file,
i.e. a "ms-word file" or a pdf-file or something else:

i can not open these files because of every file is damaged after  the
download.
 i work with windows xp, apache server(apache_2.0.40-win32-) , mysql and of
course php(php-4.0.4).
do you have any idea of the problem or can you give me an avice where i can
ask this question?

maybe it's  a very simple and known problem for you.  i work with php since
a few weeks and it seems to be very difficult to solve this problem for me.

thanks

ralf

[PHP] How to pass null as value?

[Chuck PUP Payne]

I know this may have been asked a thousand times but how do you pass null on
to a page as a value. Let say in a field where you have a yes and no. Null
needs to equal no. Is this more mysql? Can it be done in php?

Hi Chuck,

> Null needs to equal no. 

Pass from where?

If it's a checkbox on a form, just use isset() to test for the existence of
the variable: true means it's ticked, false means it isn't.

If it's from MySQL I'd suggest using an ENUM('y','n') or a TINYINT field
instead, but I suppose you could test for things like empty or zero-length
strings.

[PHP] Unable to flush output

[PHP]

Hi all,
Until yesterday i was running Apache/2.0.36 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.36 OpenSSL/0.9.6c 
PHP/4.2.1  and was able to flush script output to browser (using flush() ), before the 
script stops executing. I upgraded to Apache/2.0.40 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.40 
OpenSSL/0.9.6g PHP/4.2.3 and on the same script/browser configuration i have to wait 
untill the script stops running before i can see any output. I wish to say that it is 
not browser-related, because i tried different browsers, tried sending spaces to 
browser before the actual contents (300 spces for IE) and data is not in a table. I am 
running Slackware 8.1
I did't find any information on how to change this behaviour up to now, so i would be 
thankfull for any ideas

RE: [PHP] PHP as a tool for developing enterprise systems.

[Jay Blanchard]

[snip]
I have just had a discussion in which it was said that PHP cannot be used
to develop a *true* enterprise system.
In light of this, I would be very interested to hear you
comments/opinions/arguments on:

1. What would you consider to be a true enterprise system?
[/snip]

Here is one definition --

"Enterprise System is an industry term for the broad set of activities
supported by multi-module application software that helps a manufacturer or
other business manage the important parts of its business, including product
planning, parts purchasing, maintaining inventories, interacting with
suppliers, providing customer service, and tracking orders. ERP can also
include application modules for the finance and human resources aspects of a
business. Typically, a system uses or is integrated with a relational
database system. The deployment of an enterprise system can involve
considerable business process analysis, employee retraining, and new work
procedures. "

Here I receive 100's of 1000's of business call records a day. PHP is used
to
-- retrieve the records
-- parse the records
-- import the records into the database
-- select the proper records to be rated
-- prepare the records for the billing system (a legacy application)
-- shipping the prepared records to the billing system
-- report on the records
-- archive the records

We also use PHP for (not limited to this list);
-- contract matrix
-- collections
-- content management systems
-- project tracking and collaboration
-- sales enhancement tools

As each day goes by we are using PHP to replace and improve upon current
business processes one module at a time. Because of PHP's flexibility and
power we are able to do this very easily. The above is an example of what we
do as an enterprise, and we have many other modules handling many other
tasks. We have the need to track millions of call records per month and
handle them accurately and efficiently.

[snip]
2.Is his statement correct? If so, what features does PHP lack which make
this so?
[/snip]

I believe his statement to be incorrect, but I would need to know what he
means by "true" enterprise system in order to refute his argument. My bet is
that he does not have any facts to support what appears to be an
off-the-cuff statement. There are many presentations being made this year at
the International PHP Conference and PHPCON2002 concerning the use of PHP to
develop enterprise systems.

PHP has so many built in functions, and then there are the extensions and
classes (most of which are available for free) that perform many tasks that
not even Visual Basic can do out-of-the-box. While PHP lacks some Object
Oriented Programming features we have come to know and love it still has
very robust OOP features and more are coming.

Again, I would need to know his arguement(s).

[snip]
3.If this is not true, what arguments can I use to refute this?
[/snip]

D. All of the above.

HTH!

Jay

Re: [PHP] Sending Attachements through php email form

[Justin French]

Hi,

I'm not aware of any existing code/samples for this, but the individual
components you need to break it down into are pretty straight forward:

1. Learn about forms, validation of user input, and in particular file
uploads (which there is a perfect library of working code in the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php)

2. Then learn about the filesystem functions, in particular, how to read the
contents of the uploaded file into a string, then later about deleting
files, etc etc.

from the manual http://php.net/fread:


3. Then learn a bit about mail() (http://php.net/mail), but really what you
need to do from there is to go over to phpclasses.org, and look at manual
lemos' mime-mail class (unsure of the exact name), which deals with HTML
mail, multi part email, attachments to emails, and everything else you could
possibly need to send an email with an attachment.

[PHP] Image Upload

[Sascha Braun]

Hi Freaks,

I got a problem to solve. This script i wrote seems to have an failure but I don't 
know why.

The Error Message is telling me, that I don't have the permission to do the action I 
want to do. I thought it has some to do with my windows apache installation, but on 
linux its the same behavior.

  if(!file_exists('../images/upload_tmp')) {
   $dir = '../images/upload_tmp';
   mkdir($dir);
   chmod($dir, 07557);
   $path = dirname($PATH_TRANSLATED).$dir.'/';
   for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
switch($i) {
 case $i:
  $source = $image[$i];
  $source_name = $image_name[$i];
  break;
}
if ($source <> "none") {
 if ($error <> 1) {
  $dest = $path.$source_name;
  if (copy($source, $dest)) {
   echo ''.$source_name-' wurde hochgeladen';
  } else {
   echo 'Schreibrechte im Zielverzeichnis fehlen';
   $error = 1;
  }
 }
 @unlink($source);
}
   }

If want the script to upload mulitple files, so the form is made like this:



Will this be working ?


Thanks

Re: [PHP] Apache compile

[William Allmendinger]

I deleted the entire source upacked again then did the new
compile for the apache module.
I have the approprate lines in the httpd.conf file to load
the php modules. I just did httpd-l and made sure that the
module is loaded.

And the cgi iss for local scripting on the server only and I
do have the command at the top of those files to run them.

Re: [PHP] PHP, ask questions

[Marek Kilimajer]

Make sure you are not outputing anything besides the headers and actual 
content of the file, you may also try looking at the downloaded file if 
there are any php errors and/or warnings.

I think because of my bad english I made you misunderstand..I ment this :
for example  when a person miss an input  to fill on the from  and then
press the submit button I want him to be back to the same form page with a
special message that I entered (something like :you left . place
empty).But I dont want to copy the same form page accoring to the possible
mistakes .. I want to learn if there is an easier way to do this...

[PHP] Displaying value different from actual value

[Dave Rosenberg]

I'm not sure this is possible, but here's what I'd like to do:
I know that in order for a set of records from MySQL to display in 
numerical order on a web page, you need to make the column type 
"Integer," but here's my situation:

I'm creating a database of contracts that my organization has. 
Normally, there is a dollar amount on these contracts, and I'd like to 
be able to sort by that value (therefore the Integer column type). 
However, we have some fee-based contracts, and I'd like a way to display 
the amount as "Fee Based" even though I can't enter this in the database 
because of the column type.  Is there a way in PHP to have it display 
this although with some kind of if/then statement or something of that sort?

Contract A  Fee-based
Contract B  7
Contract C   1250
Contract D  5

Re: Fw: [PHP] Re:[PHP]question

[Support @ Fourthrealm.com]

Meltem,

You're much better off to use JavaScript to perform the form 
validation.  This way, when the user clicks on the Submit button, 
JavaScript can make sure that values are filled in, or that they are within 
range, and can then pop up a message advising them of any errors, and that 
they can't continue until the info is corrected.  This saves the hassle of 
you having to create a system that will send details to/from various pages, 
and the user doesn't have to fill in the entire form all over again, as 
their values stay on the page.

I use this site quite often for javascript code:
http://javascript.internet.com/

Re: [PHP] Displaying value different from actual value

Thanks Jay.  How would that work into something like:

printf("Total Budget:  $%s\n", mysql_result($result,0,"budget"));

or

printf("%s%s%s%s%s%s%s\n",
 
$myrow[0], $myrow[0], $myrow[4], $myrow[8], $myrow[9],  $myrow[7], 
$myrow[10]);

Thanks,

Look into the LIMIT command, it will limit the number of rows in the result

Tuesday, September 10, 2002 4:51 PMSubject: Questions regarding
inserting and updating data into a MySQL db
 Hi, I'm
developing a web application that uses forms for user input and then after
each form is filled shows something like Welcome Bob to our site ... bla.
bla... inserts data in a table and on the same page continues with the
rest of the data, and goes to another form and so on. I
have no problems inserting the data from the first form in the table, display
the personalized message, and then connect to the mySQL db, my problem
is some fields in the table which must be filled are null in this first
instance, and then on the second form they are filled,but
my I don´t know how can I fill the gaps and leave all the data in
one row, because the first field auto increments, and I'm worried the data
instead of filling one row spreads accross two or three. i.e First:
BobLast: Evans//user
submits form
Isn't this where you do the INSERT?
 
 ///On
the second formsays "Welcome
Bob Evans and congratulations ... bla bla ..."//
inserts data into table
get mysql_insert_id() here
$thisid=mysql_insert_id();
 
 //
Then asks for more dataAddress
: Somewhere 555Ocupation:
Something
add the id, perhaps as a hidden input
on the form.

 
 //
user submits form// data
is inserted into the table and the gaps are filled or is updated ?
instead of inserting, do an update.
UPDATE mytable
SET address='$Address', ocupation='Ocupation'
WHERE id=thisid
 
here is what I don't know if data is still on the same row and effectively
filled the gaps, or it is inserted into another road ... using insert or
update ? Thanks for
your tips TIA Rick  __

[PHP] Multiple user session management confusion?

[Ian Thurlbeck]

Dear All

We are testing a multi-user quiz system with PHP session management.
Everything has been fine until we tested the system with about 12 users...

Each user gets an individual instantiation of some questions and they
type in some answers and submit them for marking.  To remember the
question instantiations across script invocations we store them in a
$_SESSION variable (nb. I don't use session_register or similar, I just set 
$_SESSION['var'] directly). Upon submission we log the questions, the correct
answers (all from the $_SESSION variable), and the user answers (from $_POST) 
in a database for marking later.  Everything seemed to work fine, except...

One user is absolutely sure that the question instantiations logged
in the database are NOT the ones he saw on his browser! I've reviewed 
the code paths and I am also sure (!) that the questions cannot be 
re-instantiated across script invocations. So that leaves me looking for 
another reason. Could the session management in PHP have gotten confused and 
he got someone elses SESSION variable??

Is this possible ? Or am I being naive and should look harder at my code?

Setup is:

Server:
RedHat 7.3
Apache 1.3.26
PHP 4.2.2
MySQL 3.23.52

Client:
Win2000 Professional  5.00 SP2
Internet Explorer 6.0.2600

Any tips gratefully received!

Thanks

Ian

oh missed something out...
function your_form_html($var_1=null, $var_2=null){

This will print out your form again with the variables the user submited
plus the message.

Is this what you need?

RE: [PHP] Displaying value different from actual value

[Jay Blanchard]

[snip]
Thanks Jay.  How would that work into something like:

printf("Total Budget:  $%s\n", mysql_result($result,0,"budget"));

or

printf("%s%s%s%s%s%s%s\n",
$myrow[0], $myrow[0], $myrow[4], $myrow[8], $myrow[9],  $myrow[7],
$myrow[10]);
[/snip]

You have to do the test prior to the output, checking the value of $myrow[n]
that represents the contract value. I would have to see more of your code to
see where to implement the test.

HTH! Peace ...

[PHP] ucwords()?

[Tommi Virtanen]

Hi!

I'll try to convert field first char to upper by using ucwords(). Well,
this doesn't
seem to work correct. 

Well maybe error came, because that characteres are not standard (they
are special characterers, finnish language). 

Example:

$work_text = "perhepäivähoitaja";

$work_text = ucwords (strtolower ($work_text);

print $work_name -> PerhepäIväHoitaja). Every char after finnish-ä is
upper.


How I can correct this error??

RE: [PHP] ucwords()? and åäö

I can't say correct answer to this, but want also notify that
strtoupper() -function doesn't affect to those special charters å, ä and ö
that are very common in Finnish language.

[PHP] basic voting

[Justin French]

Hi,

I'm looking to implement very basic like it | hate it voting for a product
on a site, but I'd like to implement some simple (or not so simple) ways of
ensuring people don't vote over and over and over.

1. I could set a cookie.  Sure, they could delete the cookie and re-vote
though, and those without cookies will be able to repeat vote.

2. To prevent automated voting, I can make sure that the votes are POSTed,
not done through GET, but if people really wanted, they could still get
around it.

3. I can restrict voting to logged in members, but I don't think I want to
be that restrictive.


Am I missing something obvious?  Or do you just use a combo of 1 + 2???

[PHP] Re: mysql query

Ooops, for clarity, I shouldn't have named the result of the function "row" but
"euro".  It should be:

$euro=mysql_one_element("select euro from brandstofprijzen where id=2", "euro");

RE: [PHP] basic voting

[David Buerer]

Justin, you've just asked for a way to restrict the possible number of votes
from any one person to 1, however, you don't want to find out anything about
that person!

Although I certainly understand your position, you either have to get from
them some information specific to the person, like, name, email, DL, SSN,
and only allow one vote entry per id, or you have track based on cookie, ip
address, etc.  A simple non-obtrusive way would be to track by IP, but then
you've got the problem of users behind proxies, or multiple users at one
computer, or 

You pretty much have to ask for something like email or name, or be willing
to accept multiple votes from the same person.

Sorry.

Re: [PHP] header() problem!!!!

[Henrik Hudson]

I have not had any problems on IE 6 with this. The code I am using on numerous 
scripts looks like this:

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
fpassthru($filehandle);
fclose($filehandle);

Maybe the the combination of using the echo and the attachment field? The echo 
might not treat it as a "real" file? Just a thought.

RE: [PHP] Re: mysql query

[David Buerer]

sorry bill, i misunderstood your question.  I thought you wanted to only
return one row, not just get one value. Given my new understanding, I would
do something like this which is only a slight variant on what you did
 
 $result = mysql_query("select euro from brandstofprijzen where id=2") or
die (mysql_error()); 
$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);
$euro =$row[0];

Maybe I wasn't clear.  The value returned should be called "euro" not "row" 

I didn't think I needed LIMIT because the query should be written to only
get one row; at least the function only returns the first row. 


kind regards,

Since you haven't divulged your task, I'm guessing from comments that
receving 24 votes from faked emails is a really bad thing. In that case you
have no choice but to thoroughly authenticate your users!  Hey, at least
it's not a complicated thing to do, just kind of pain on everyones end.

I'm guessing that pages requiring passing data isn't working correctly
right?  If so here's what you do.

cd php-4.2.2

./configure  (whatever options you want here)

make && make install && make clean

(add the appropriate lines to your httpd.conf file, the ones you have
from 4.1.2 should be just fine)

cp /path/to/php/php-4.2.2/php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Open /usr/local/lib/php.ini in your prefered text editor and search for
this "register_globals"

Change the value of 'register_globals' to On from Off

...And then your done.

And read this so you understand why this was done:

[PHP] Illegal characters in HTML form element names.

[Jared Williams]

Hi,
The HTML standard defines the set of characters that are valid in form
element names. It does not include [ or ] and yet this seems to be the only
way to get a set of form elements grouped into an array for server side
processing.

Why doesnt PHP do (Perl/ASP) automatically create an array when there is
more than one form element with the same name in the post/get data?

If PHP is setup and working fine and simply not getting POST or GET vars, it
can depend on the PHP version you have installed. but the

$HTTP_POST_VARS and $HTTP_GET_VARS should work on any version of PHP4.

If your still having trouble and using those arrays then im unsure as to
what else could be wrong without seeing the code.

Re: [PHP] IPlanet Webserver

[Henrik Hudson]

Make sure you're accessing your variables correctly as well. Remember, 
register_globals is now off by default, so you can't just access POST and GET 
vars by variable name, but insterad use $_POST[varname] or $_GET[varname]

Can anyone tell me if the latest version of PHP works with the latest Apache

[PHP] PHP and Special Characters

[Rick King]

Apache: 1.3.23
PHP: 4.1.2

Hello PHP Guru's!

I have created a simple web form. When the form is complete and submitted,
the results are emailed to an email account. But I have noticed that the '
character is escaped.
Example: John O\ 'Connor, instead of getting John O'Connor.

Is this a problem within PHP or HTML?
Has anyone else encountered this problem before? If so, what was the
workaround?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[PHP] help with making an xslt class

[Geoff]

I am trying to make a class to process xslt transformations.

Here is the class:
class xslTransformer extends makexml{
var $xh;
function xslTransformer($xslfile)   {
$this->xh = xslt_create();
$result=xslt_process($this->xh,$this->xmlstr,$xslfile); //errorsif
($result) {
print $result;
}
else {
print "Sorry, the xml could not be transformed by the xsl into";print
"  the \$result variable the reason is that . "xslt_error($this->xh) . 
print " and the error code is " . xslt_errno($this->xh);
}
xslt_free($this->xh);
}
} 

I call it as 

$this->xmlstr is valid xml (I have checked) the makexml class works fine
as well.

Here is the error I get:
Warning: Sablotron error on line 1: XML parser error 3: no element found
in /usr/lib/apache/htdocs/xml/clsmakexml.php on line 200
Sorry, the xml could not be transformed by the xsl into and the error

I think you should investigate more on the subject of "web mail" if that
is what you need to do.  Usually, php (or any other language) is used to
create an interface for an operational mail server, which can be
accessed via IMAP.  You can find lots of examples at
http://www.freshmeat.net or any other software repository.

Do not reinvent the wheel. ;)

RE: [PHP] help with making an xslt class

[Geoff]

I am using the sablotron xslt library I just want to make a class to 
minimize the code I need to write and make it easier to maintain.

When I do it like so:
// create XSLT processor 
$xh = xslt_create();

// call xslt processor
// Process the document
$result = xslt_process($xh, 'arg:/_xml', $xmldoc->xslstr, NULL,
$arguments); 
if ($result) {
print $result;
}
else {
print "Sorry, the xml could not be transformed by the xsl into";
print "  the \$result variable the reason is that " . xslt_error($xh)
. 
print " and the error code is " . xslt_errno($xh);
}
xslt_free($xh);
it works fine. I just don't seem to be able to make it work in a class.

  Something like this may work for you:

# Connect to db, make query, etc.

while( $temp = mysql_fetch_row($mysql_result_handle) ) {
$array[] = array(
'key0' = array(
'keya' => $temp[0],
'keyb' => $temp[1],
),
'key1' = array(
'keya' => $temp[2],
'keyb' => $temp[3],
)
);
}

  Hi Dave,

  You can also do this in your SQL query.

  For example:

  If your table contains this:
+--+-+
| contract | amount  |
+--+-+
| Jillco   | 100 |
| Jackco   |   1 |
| ChrisInc |NULL |
+--+-+

  The the following select:

SELECT contract, IFNULL(amount, "Fee Based") amount FROM contracts;

  will return:
Jillco  100
Jackco  1
ChrisincFee Based

Cheers!

[PHP] open_basedir without safe mode?

[Ville Mattila]

Hi there,

I was wondering if there is a possibility to get open_basedir preferences
(also set via .htaccess) active in a server running not PHP in open_basedir.
I should create a small home site space for some users with PHP equipped,
but I don't like to put safe mode on as there are some other advanced (not
runnable in safe mode) scripts on the same machine. open_basedir would limit
the user's access to their own directories, but it seems not to work wihtout
safe mode.

Any ideas?

Ville

  Dear Christian,

  I assume that you encountered some syntax errors in the code?
  (or was there another problem?)

  Anyhow, here is the corrected version

while( $temp = mysql_fetch_row($mysql_result_handle) ) {
$array[] = array(
'key0' => array(
'keya' => $temp[0],
'keyb' => $temp[1]
),
'key1' => array(
'keya' => $temp[2],
'keyb' => $temp[3]
)
);
}

Re: [PHP] open_basedir without safe mode?

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

safe mode and open_basedir are completely separate.
