[PHP] Getting the highest number in a column

[Phil Schwarzmann]

Using PHP and a MySQL database, I want to grab the highest number in a
particular column.  Right now I have this VERY inefficient code to grab
this number, there's got to be a better way.  Does anyone have any
ideas??
 
Thanks!

[PHP] Shipping problem...

[Steve Jackson]

Hi all,

I have a problem which I'm not sure the best way to go about. We will be
shipping products based on weight and I have two types of product with
differing weights. Basically we want to charge one price for shipping
less than 10 KG and one for anything over that.

I wonder how to go about it. I have the weights for each product and
have my products organised into two categories in MySQL DB. So anything
in category 1 means less than 30 items is below 10 Kilos and 15 in
category 2.
How would you code this? I have tried adding a weight category to my
products table and calculating total weight (then a simple if statement
would do the trick) but it leads to other problems which I couldn't
de-bug. Basically adding to my products table means my DB won't update
due to a Mysql error (column count didn't match or something) so I can't
do it that way or at least as my shop is currently working I'm scared of
messing with the code too much! I also need to have a combination of the
two products so the customer might buy 1 of category 2 and 35 of cat 1
etc.

Ideas to tackle this please?

As is usual for questions like this, the answer is most likely that you
should do it in your sql query.  In this case, something like this would
probably do it:

SELECT MAX(some_column) FROM some_table WHERE some = condition

CYA, Dave

[PHP] preg_grep

[Mark Harwood]

Hi All,

I've written a inifile class and was trying to improve it but got stuck
trying to read all the sections:

[Section 1]
name=value

[Section 2]
name=value

$Inifile is the inifile read into an array but the following doesn't work:

$Sections = preg_grep("/(?<=^\[)([^\[\]]+)(?=\]$)/i", $IniFile);

It always includes the [ ] brackets.  Don't look behinds/aheads work with
preg_grep? Or am I doing something wrong.

Thanks.

Perhaps I don't understand you properly -- why you need two categories? How is 
shipping charge calculated? 


Do you just have two rates (which your 1st paragraph seems to imply) -- ie If 
the total weight of products is under 10KG charge $5, otherwise charge $10? 
...

... In which case, yes a simple if statement would suffice.

Perhaps if you post your code and your db schema here then someone may be able 
to help.

[PHP] Code management

[José León Serna]

Hello, I would like to hear your experience about this matter:

I have a lot of separate scripts and most of them need another script,
for example:

phpgrid
   uses adodb
   uses ldap_rol

phplogin
   uses ldap_rol

And so on, I have a CVS server to store/develop single scripts, but I
want to store them as full solutions, I mean, when I make a checkout I
want to get the full working package, so I have duplicate files. What is
the best way to manage this kind of development?

Regards.

That should work iff manufacturer is a number. Otherwise you need 
single-quotes:

  "DELETE FROM product WHERE manufacturer='$hidden_manuf_id'"

> PHP server doesn't see the variable because it is inside the string

Actually you DO need the double-quotes in order for PHP interpret 
$hidden_manuf_id as a variable.

What you really should do is split the above into two steps:

$query = "DELETE FROM product WHERE manufacturer=$hidden_manuf_id";
mysql_query($query, $bb) or die("Error in $query :: " . mysql_error());

[PHP] Content-Disposition IE bug

[Francis]

ok i know this has popped up a couple of times before but i'm still having
problems. What I need is the download popup to popup and ask the user if
they wish to save or open the file they want to download. If you click open
IE saves the file in your temp cache and then opens up the associated proggy
and for some bizare reason adds "[1]" at the end of the filename and cant
find the file in cache. At the moment i'm using the following:

Header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
Header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
Header("File-Length: $fileSize");
Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
Header("Content-Description: File from DMS");
fpassthru($fh);

If the code isn't working, its because you weren't using a $name in the
first if statement.   Always the little things ! :)

But this should work...

 if (!$name) {
 print "please enter your name.";
 }


if (!$email) {
 print "Please enter you e-mail";

[PHP] include "http"

[Dan Healy]

Hi,

I wrote a program to authenticate users.  I would like to place a few lines
at the top a  webpage that would call this program.  Some web pages will be
on the same server as the authentication program, others will not.

Can I use include/require of do I need to use fopen?  The program returns
true or false upon account validation, so I am not sure how I can use fopen

 I have tried the following so far and cannot get it to work

http://myserver/scripts";);
$foo=require("/ndsauth.php");
if(!$foo)  {
  exit;
}
?>




Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks
Dan

Re: [PHP] include "http"

[Maxim Maletsky]

In order to use your PHP script (authentication features etc) you need
to have the all files within the same server.

As of including files, virtually - yes, yo can use include for remote
files, but you will not be able to execute the remote PHP code. You will
only include the output. ie: include('www.google.com'); includes you
google's homepage, not the Terrabytes of their database access :)

There are two different headers -- the "From:" header and the "From"
header. Bounces go to the address specified in the "From" header. I
believe you must reconfigure your MTA to send different From header, i
don't think this can be set within PHP.

Try losing the space between the "-" and "dump": it should be something like


  lynx -dump http://www.mysite.com/test.php

Re: [PHP] Content-Disposition IE bug

[Aaron Gould]

I remember reading on this a long while back.  Try searching the archives of
this list.  The solution pointed to a Microsoft Knowledge Base article.

If I recall correctly, it involved simply adding "%20" to the end of your
filename string...

Something like this:

Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename%20");

Give it a try.  I might be way off, but you've got nothing to lose.  :)

Re: [PHP] lynx and crontab

[Steve Buehler]

Info: Lynx has nothing to do with supporting or not supporting PHP.  PHP is 
not a client side language, it is a server side language, so the browser 
that you use does not even know or need to know that it is running PHP.
Solutions (hopefully):  Take out the space between the "-" and the word 
"dump".  Your command should be:
lynx -dump http://www.mysite.com/test.php

Re: [PHP] Content-Disposition IE bug (ADDENDUM)

[Aaron Gould]

I just read the part about caching...  Here's the download code that works
perfectly for me.  Note the first line that deals with caching.  The last
line also has the filename in quotes.  That might make a difference.  If you
still get [1], try the %20 trick in my last post.

header("Cache-control: private");
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-length: $filesize");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");

The syntax I use for this purpose is either:

[PHP] Re: Code management

[Philip Hallstrom]

I'd separate out your shared PHP files and put them all in a directory
named say "my_php_lib".  Organize it like PEAR if you want...

Then for each of your sites set up the directory structure something like
this:

/path/to/site/htdocs
/path/to/site/my_php_lib

where you've cvs-co'd my_php_lib.  Then add the following to your web
server config for the above site:

php_value include_path .:/path/to/site/my_php_lib:/usr/local/lib/php

Now phpgrid can just include("ldap_rol") without worrying where it is.

[PHP] getting to a section of the page

Hi All,

[PHP] PHP & XML

[Chris Boget]

Let me preface this by saying that I know the benefits of using
XML with regards to portability and extensibility.
Here is the issue I face.  I have all of my data stored in a MySQL
database.  I'm considering reworking my website so that it uses
XML (after being converted from resultant records in my DB) to 
transmit & XSLT to transform and display the data to my end user.
There are a few benifits I can see in sending XML messages as
part of the back end processing.  However, that seems to be out-
weighed by the amount of processing that's going to need to take
place in actually serving the data to the user.  
First I have to query and pull the records from the database.  Then,
I need to send those records to a function (or functions) to convert
it to XML.  Then, I need to take that XML data and have PHP use
an XSL stylesheet to transform it to HTML before it, finally, gets 
sent on to the browser.  So that's basically 2 conversions that take
place on the back end.
How much experience have any of you had with doing that?  Does 
it take significantly longer to serve the pages; is there a noticible
performance hit?  Do you realize more benifit for the back end 
processes when using XML that makes any additional time it takes 
to display a page to the user worth it?
I'd love to hear about people's experience with this kind of thing so I
can better make a decision wrt whether or not I should even go down
this route.

thnx,
Chris

Re: [PHP] Adding users to a linux system?

[Shane Wright]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


you need to be root to add users - and your web server is most likely not 
runings as root (certainly shouldn't be!!)

To make this work, add the user apache runs under to /etc/sudoers  (look at 
the sudo man page),

then change the command you have to this...

sudo /usr/sbin/adduser -g mel -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -p $pass $usuario


That will use sudo to run adduser as root.

btw - try to only allow sudo access for the apache user, and only to use the 
command adduser (e.g. NOT rm or anything else dangerous..)

Also, make very sure that $paqss and $usuario contain only alphanumeric 
characters; no backticks or quotes or anything.


Hope that helps

Cheers

Shane

It is indeed a very elegant way of creating dynamic sites.

True, it is more that just embedding PHP variables into an HTML
templates.

Ideally, you could also store some text XML-formatted already in DB.
Always, if that makes sense. I do it for the article, long texts to be
formatted.

Try modulate it with Classes. (an extra overhead, I know, but adds you
the portability.. which, I believe is important for you)

Before actually send it to the browser, save (cache) the HTML file to
your local system, so them later you can reuse it directly should no
data change in between.

Many do that. You can create some real dynamic sites, skins etc..

If well designed, the overhead will only be some few milliseconds. This
is not much, considering that now the machines get faster and faster.

Yes, having a more dynamic site means less efforts on additional
eventual features to implement. Thus, not only the extra 100
milliseconds for user to wait, but rather the cheaper maintaining costs
and higher quality. It often means cheaper services in some businesses.

I would go for it (in fact I working myself on similar system these days).
One thing I'd recommend you is to invest some relatively sufficient
time on studying well the application design so you can make it as
dynamic as possible. For speed purpose, you should organize yourself a
caching system. An idea would be tracking down the changes on the DB and
saving all rendered HTML files to then compare on the request and reuse
unchanged sections of the website. It, of course, depends 85% on your
application data, logic and specifications. So, invest enough time,
prepare your database for cache and add XML/XSLT/PHP trio.

Good luck!

you need to be root to add users - and your web server is most likely not
runings as root (certainly shouldn't be!!)

To make this work, add the user apache runs under to /etc/sudoers  (look at
the sudo man page),

then change the command you have to this...

sudo /usr/sbin/adduser -g mel -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -p $pass $usuario


That will use sudo to run adduser as root.

btw - try to only allow sudo access for the apache user, and only to use the
command adduser (e.g. NOT rm or anything else dangerous..)

Also, make very sure that $paqss and $usuario contain only alphanumeric
characters; no backticks or quotes or anything.


Hope that helps

Cheers

Shane

[PHP] Another odd file problem / Limit on File uploads?

[Jason Young]

Hey yet again...

I've got a 3x3 grid of type 'file' input elements, for a nifty total of 
9 upload spaces..

After specifying a file in all 9, and attempting upload, I only got 5.. 
I noticed the total filesize was 2 megs, so I changed the php.ini to 8.. 
yet I still got that problem.  So I checked how my file array was being 
posted, and it turns out only 5 of them go through!

Hopefully someone can follow this particular code...
In the HTML Form, we have:

Include
Include
.
Include

(The picInc array just allows them to set whether or not they really 
want that picture included (in case they mess up and don't want to 
upload such a pic - I wouldn't expect some of the users to be savvy 
enough to know to just delete the text from the field))

In the PHP upload, to check to see which elements are being parsed, I have:

$current = 0;

while (list($key) = each($_FILES['picname'])) {

   echo $current;
   /* -- This is the normal code just to satisfy everyone's curiosity.
   if ($picInc[$current] == true) {

 if (!is_dir($dir))
   mkdir($dir);

 if (!is_uploaded_file ($_FILES['picname']['tmp_name'][$current]))
   echo "" . $_FILES['picname']['name'][$current] . " 
couldn't be copied!";

 if (is_uploaded_file ($_FILES['picname']['tmp_name'][$current])) {
   move_uploaded_file($_FILES['picname']['tmp_name'][$current], 
$dir.$current.".jpg");

   $log_query = "INSERT INTO pictures (pictureID, series) VALUES 
('$pID', '$current')";
   $log_result = mysql_query($log_query) or die ("Couldn't Insert 
Picture Record!");
 }
   }
   */ -- End curiosity mode ;-)
   $current++;
}

On my output, I just get 01234 .. 5 elements.
My question is specifically on how to get all 9 to upload, those 5 
files,  if specified, do indeed upload fine - just clearing that up :-)

Any insight? 5 elements seems to be something deliberate, but I can't be 
sure, myself.

Thanks!
-Jason

A C wrapper running setuid root?

I guess there's less chance of getting a 'bad' username to execute arbitrary 
commands, but at the same time I wonder about the possiblity of exploiting 
overflows, but that'd be much harder.  (hmm, if the C program shells to 
adduser anyway the same problem is there?)

I dunno, personally I dont like the idea of _anything_ needing root..

[PHP] Win 98 Apache - Directory style Query Strings on PHP Files without extensions

[Andy White]

Hi,

I'm trying to allow my Apache webserver, on Win 98 to run PHP files without
extensions.

This is all working but the second part to the plan involves changing the
query string into the format of a directory. e.g.

Where the file is "index" without an extension and "xxx" and "yyy" are the
sections of the query string.

Although http://www.mysite.com/ or http://www.mysite.com/index work fine,
picking up the index file okay  http://www.mysite.com/xxx/yyy/ or
http://www.mysite.com/index/xxx/yyy/ come back with internal server errors.

I have set the DirectoryIndex to "index" and DefaultType to
"application/x-httpd-php" in the httpd.conf but I am at a loss after that!

If anyone can help I'd be much obliged.

Andy

Have a look into mod_rewrite, I think you'll be able to achieve what you

AFAIK you have to connect over ODBC (unless PHP has grown native Access

I've successfully done this sort of thing in a couple of ways.  For your
scenario, I'd probably try this as first choice:

Alias / /dir/to/scripts/index.php/


AddType application/x-httpd-php .php


This should invisibly inject a reference to "index.php/" for all requests to
your site --note that it does NOT use DefaultType.  (/dir/to/scripts can be
your DocumentRoot if that's where index.php is!)

There are several variations on this, using AliasMatch and, yes, DefaultType
in various combinations, but I'd recommend this as the simplest route to get
*all* references to your site to be passed through /index.php without
actually mentioning it in your URLs.

Cheers!

Mike

[PHP] The hunt for PHP Developers [job applicant search]

[Dan Hardiker]

Hi,

[sorry about this being kinda off topic, but hey :P if anyone knows of a
more appropriate place - let me know!]

I am looking for prospective employee's which a high level of PHP
experiance, with an interest in learning Java in the next few months.

Before I continue - the position is onsite in Preston, Lancashire, UK.
Sorry, we aren't looking for remote workers at this point.

The following requirements:
 * FreeBSD experiance. User level required, Admin level prefered.
 * XML experiance (understanding of its use and its purpose)
 * Extensive MySQL experiance
 * Vast OOP experiance in PHP

The project would suit the following personality:
 * Fast learner and grasps concepts quickly
 * Idea Mad (constantly coming up with ideas spontaniously)
 * Prefers being given an outline and discussing the details, rather
than
being given a fully mapped out spec documenting down to the statement in
code.
 * Willingness to learn on the fly
 * A passion for coding
 * Someone who percives working as a coder as being paid to do their
hobby, rather than being paid to work 9-5 :P

The project is an extensive object based database engine with a vast
future, more of which I cant discuss on here, but could off list.

NOTE: please CC my email address in on any reply.

RE: [PHP] to connect an access database,

[Negretti, John (CCI-San Diego)]

Andy,

As, Jon stated, you would need to use the built-in ODBC functions of PHP.  
Keep in mind that "SQL Statements" are NOT the same as for MySQL.  There are plenty of 
resources on the internet that show you how to format your SQL Statements just for 
Microsoft Access.

[PHP] Authentication: HTTP or homegrown?

[Jackson Miller]

I am curious what method of authentication is preferred by people on
this list.  Are you using PHP scripts for authentication and limiting
access, or are you using HTTP header info.  Maybe it is best to use
both.

For my sites I usually store user info in a database and use php and
sessions to authenticate users, but this doesn't work well with some
server log analyzing software like webalizer (though I insert my own
logs in a database to track user info too).

Is there any reason I should switch to HTTP authentication or some
hybrid system?

By HTTP authentication I am referring to using the PHP_AUTH_USER,
PHP_AUTH_PW, and PHP_AUTH_TYPE variables.
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php)

Thanks,

-Jackson

Well, maybe not something written in PHP. Java perhaps...

I was hoping to avoid java (though JS wouldn't be out of the
question).  But it looks more and more that it'll have to be.  I
was hoping for something fairly simple.

But it requires ColdFusion to be installed, doesn't it?

[PHP] show a file

[Félix García Renedo]

Hello,
I have to show a file pdf in a browser but its name in the filesystem is something 
like "name_file.file" and the file is word, pdf, gif, etc

I tried to do:

  http://domain.org/path/to/file/';
 $file = "name_file.file";

   header('Content-Type: application/x'); 

header('Content-Disposition: attachment;  filename=' . $file ) ;
 header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

  $size = filesize($url . $file);
  header('Content-length: ' . $size ) ;

@readfile($url . $file);
?>

It doesn't work. But I read that it should work.

How could do that?

Thanks in advance

They have different versions of this app, one for CF, another one for php, 
another one for ASP, you have to buy it for php if that's what you want, 
personally I don't like the php version, it's a little bit difficult to 
install, but, because we bought the CF version I changed the code from CF 
to PHP and it works great.

I like it because this editor lets you change a lot of things, upload 
images, change fonts, colors, etc.

Re: [PHP] show a file

[Kevin Stone]

I may be wrong about this as I have little experience dealing with binary
files.  But I do not blieve that Content-Type: application/x acts like a
universial content type.  It seems to me that you're going to have to build
in a conditional that sets the appropriate Content-Type: based on the file
being displayed.  So the file is a GIF then the header should read
Content-Type: image/gif

[PHP] Help Needed

[Pushpinder Singh Garcha]

Hi

I am trying to create an online survey using PHP ...I am using MySQL as 
the database and MAC OS Jaguar. I do not need the results to be added to 
the database. I need to be able to send the results of the survey to an 
email addressI know that this is possible using MS FrontPage but 
with PHP I am not so sure. Please help.

Thanks,

I'm in the middle of a survey project right now, actually, but it's probably
more complex than you need.

The easiest way to do this would be to have your survey be a basic HTML
page. Then use a single PHP processing page. You could just write the value
of $_POST to a variable and send that in your email.

$string = implode("\n",$_POST);
mail($to,$subject,$string);

That would just send you the answers though. Apply some extra formatting to
$string to include your questions and you should have what you need.

The last time I did this, I did something like the following.  Note that it
all starts out with an HTML form with fields called "name" and "question1". 
The form action called a page containing the following.


";
$subject = "This is the subject";
$message = "This is the message

Name: $name
Question 1: $question1";

$headers .= "From: Me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n";
$headers .= "Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

[PHP] odbc_exec() act funny.....

[Scott Fletcher]

With odbc_exec() function, it is able to execute and retrieve the data
pretty well.  Unfortunately, when the number of fields grow and grow then
the odbc_exec() return false and a blank data.  I don't get it!  When I run
the SQL command through the database interface, it work like a charm.  So,
it is a PHP issue.

Is it a PHP bug?  What's up with that?

Correct me if I'm mistaken but couldn't you get the same result simply by 
setting the form's action to be a "mailto:";?

clip
   $database = "ECBI_DB";
   $user = "db2inst1";
   $pass = "ibmdb2";

   $cid = @odbc_connect($database,$user,$pass) or die("Unable to connect to
Database !!!") ;

  $ask =  "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS, USERS ";
  $ask .= "WHERE CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMER_ID = '".$_POST['Customer_Id']."' AND ";
  $ask .= "USERS.USER_LOGON1 = '".$User_Logon1."' AND ";
  $ask .= "USERS.USER_PASS1 = '".$User_Pass1."' ";

  $result=odbc_exec($cid,$ask);

  $workaround_fix = 0;
  if (odbc_fetch_row($result,++$workaround_fix))
   {
 $USER_ID = odbc_result($result,USER_ID);
 $ECBI_ACCESS = odbc_result($result,ECBI_ACCESS);
 $COMPANY_STATUS = odbc_result($result,COMPANY_STATUS);
 $TIME_START = odbc_result($result,TIME_START);
 $TIME_END = odbc_result($result,TIME_END);
 $LOGIN_COUNT = odbc_result($result,LOGIN_COUNT);
   }
  else $login_status="FAIL";
clip

Instead of odbc_fetch_row, the other odbc function does the same thing.

clip
  odbc_result_all($result,"class='form' border='2' cellpading='0'
cellspacing='0' bordercolor='#C64839'");
clip

However, odbc_exec() work great with these two, 1) odbc_num_rows, 2)
odbc_num_fields.

When I try to do the two seperate SQL command with the 2nd odbc execution
right after the 1st odbc execution.  It work fine.  Weird!!

  //SQL Command #2
  $ask =  "SELECT * FROM USERS ";

But then you would have to rely on the end user having a working email
client and working email account. Plus with submitting to a PHP script you
can process and format the form to fit your exact needs.

Re: [PHP] Re: Another odd file problem / Limit on File uploads?

[Jason Young]

Sure..

post_max_size = 10M
upload_max_filesize = 8M
memory_limit = 8M

As I said before, however.. even without throwing files there, my loop 
test code only spits out '01234', meaning that its only looping 5 times 
through the code before exiting... Does file handling only allow for 5 
files at a time??

Re: [PHP] PHP & XML

[Geoff Hankerson]

A few ideas:
1. I have been setting up a system to do almost exactly what you are 
doing (database --> xml --> xslt-->html via a custom class) and have not 
noticed any significant performance hit, but this is not in production 
so your mileage may vary, but my gut feeling is the performance hit is 
very small (real scientific - not).

2. Does all this data from your database have to be converted on the 
fly? In other words does it have to be completely dynamic? If some of 
the content is updated fairly infrequently then you could have a 
cron-job type process  convert from database to xml files at a given 
interval (hourly, weekly, montly etc..). Or even think about whether 
your data  needs to live in a database. Can it just live in an xml file?

3. Modern browsers can convert using xslt themselves  so you could check 
the user agent and have the browser transform the xml if it is capable 
(IE5-6, Netscape 6-7, mozilla etc...)

I am going to do all the transformation on the server and  live with the 
slight performance hit.
I think the benefits are worth it. Making and maintaining a site become 
so easy once you have this set up. The code on each page is compact and 
almost exactly the same, the only variance is the sql statement and the 
name of the xsl file.

Go ahead and email me off list if you want to discuss this off list

Hey,
AFAIK, There is no "limit" on the amount of files that can be uploaded at 
once. Could you post the html code for the form? 
Note: The post_max_size should be larger than the upload_max_filesize &
the memory limit has to be larger than the post_max_size.
So you should have something like:
upload_max_filesize = 8M
post_max_size = 14M
memory_limit = 16M

Re: [PHP] PHP & XML

[.: B i g D o g :.]

Chris,

Here are some ideas you might want to review these options:

1. Try storing the data in the database as xml files them selves.  You
then do not have to create the xml file.  This will no doubt increase
your database size.

2. Store your xml templates in the database for faster retrieval.

3. Have the xml file reference the xslt file for the translation to
occur on the client end...they get the HTML and all u really worry about
is creating the xml file and having the xslt file.

4. Do the translation of Database -> XML -> XSLT -> HTML all in PHP and
save the HTML output for caching. Then u can save a link to that file in
your database.  This will allow you to have a very good caching system. 
When a request for a page comes in u can verify if the cached link in
the database is too old or not.  Then you can either get the link to the
cached file or get the data to create the XML file.

But, I have a feeling that this will still be extremely sufficient for
your speed requirements...

This, unfortunately, is not a possiblity because the databases get updated
too frequently.  Plus, I have 2 tables that have in excess of 80k records
which also gets updated frequently.  File I/O for updating a flat file DB would
be atrocious.

Please elaborate on this suggestion?

As far as I know, there are several issues with the various browsers processing
and executing the XSL.  There isn't full compliance, particularly with the actual
commands (ie, xsl:copy, xsl:copy-of, etc) and/or if you want to manipulate the
tree/DOM.  
Is this untrue?

> 4. Do the translation of Database -> XML -> XSLT -> HTML all in PHP and

For the most part, this isn't feasible due to number 1 above.  And for those files
that I can cache, the data set being retrieved is so small that any performance
hit (if any) would certainly be insignificant.  So there wouldn't be much point in
caching those.
Even so, this does give me a few ideas and could possibly be the solution to a
very different problem I need to address.

Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions thus far.  Please keep them coming
if you haven't chimed in or if you think of anything else.  I'm sure this information 
is 
helping other people as well!

How large are the files you're using for testing?  Try repeating the
test with files under 1k and see if the result is different.  You might
be running into a page timeout rather than file size limitation.

Re: [PHP] Re: Another odd file problem / Limit on File uploads?

[Jason Young]

Well... you asked for it :D
Here's the code:

Key: When the user puts the URL or clicks the "Browse" button, they're 
required to hit the "Show Picture" button. This puts that picture into 
the 'pic[]' img space, and enables picInc[].

I didn't bother putting the javascript function picShow in here, because 
that works and doesn't cause problems.

I'm about to leave work at this very moment so I apologize for not 
cleaning up the table tags beforehand.. I need to get out of here.. lol

Re: [PHP] passing mysql_error() out put to a different page?

[Brad Bonkoski]

Well, the die() function takes a limited number of parameters, which as you
noted is why it doesn't like the assignment of the mysql_error() and the header
statements both inside the die() function.  So, why not something like this:

$res = mysql_query(.);
if ($res == FALSE)  //which is what I _believe_ die() looks at
/* or at least this is what the manual says the function returns on a query
error */
{
$error = mysql_error();
Header("Location: logerror.php?op=insert_error&err_value=$error");
}
// else continue as normal

It seems to me most of the benefits of XML actually go to the hardware
and network suppliers.  They get to sell you bigger storage for the
bloated data, faster processors for the mindless transformations and
bigger pipes to transfer all the extra markup in an XML file.

XML has its place in simplifying data exchange (if both parties can
find or agree on a common schema) and things like the PHP documentation
where there is a real need to present one source document several
different ways.

Why waste space in a database with XML.  The database already is one
of the most efficient ways to store the data.  So no XML for storage.

Unless you have more than one way you need to present the data on your
web pages you are wasting both your time, and processor time trying to
add XML into the mix.

sample xml page:





So, then in theory, this is a xml template (contains no data) that can
be stored in the database.

Actually you do not have to store the data and xml (together) in the
database.

Here are the steps to perform:
1. Query database getting desired data.
2. get the xml file into PHP XML parser (either from a database or
file.)
3. Parse xml file adding data to the file. Result is a new xml file.
(XML template + data)
4. Optional (if xslt is compiled into PHP). You can do the translation
of your XML file and XSLT file in PHP which could result in a html file
or direct output to the browser.
5. Send the XML file to the browser with the XSLT information
information in the XML file (not so much XSL). And let the browser
handle the transformation to HTML for ya.

Also note that the XSLT file is a great place to put all your themes.  U
can have one XSLT file for each theme that handles your site.

The options are endless...


That is relatively all that needs to be done.

Just ask the user if they really want to wait longer for something they 
can't even see, just
so you can use the latest buzzword in describing your site.

I'm sure they'll say NO!

It is never worth anything that makes it take longer to display a page to 
the user.

He is posting without files and it still stops at 5 and if it was timeout 
wouldn't it say something like max_execution_time exceeded?

Instead of those two lines, use:

Nope. Just use $_SESSION['SESSION_UNAME'] = $user;

You can treat $_SESSION just as you would any other array.

$_SESSION['something'] = "whatever";

etc... Then, on any page with session_start(), you have the whole
session array available to you, no matter what page the variable was
initially created on.

FYI: use unset($_SESSION['SESSION_UNAME']); to erase a session variable.

add in an exit(); here, for good measure. That way none of the following
code is ever evaluated.
