[PHP] Unsupported operand types

[Brian T. Allen]

Hi,

I've just spent the night upgrading my RedHat 6.2 server to:

Apache1.3.27
PHP4.3.0
MySQL3.23.54a
Mod_SSL2.8.12
OpenSSL0.9.7
ZendOptimizer2.1.0

Now I'm getting (inconsistently):

PHP Fatal error:  Unsupported operand types in
/web/domain/html/includes/item.inc on line 35

That line contains:
$variable1 = $variable2 - 1;

Both variables may be unassigned prior to this line, or may have numeric
values.

In a related piece of weirdness, I have this included at the bottom of
every file:

");
?>

Which normally returns something like:

-
Errors:
1062:Duplicate entry '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' for key 1

Query:


Page:   /account/new.html 
Date:   Friday January 17, 200312:42 PM

But now it returns:

Errors:
Saturday January 18, 20033:18 AM:Saturday January 18, 20033:18
AM

Query:
Array

Page:   /community/newsletter.html/2001-03-01 
Date:   Array
-

How can $date be an array, when it gets assigned right above where it
gets called?

What am I missing in this new version of PHP that is making my scripts
seemingly incompatible?

Thanks,
Brian Allen

Re: [PHP] Ever complained about lousy PHP programmers?

[olinux]

I prefer single quotes on stuff that doesn't need to
be parsed. In most cases this is more efficient,
though  probably not noticed except on a large scale.
I also think it makes it easier to include html
strings (because double quotes don't need to be
escaped) and I find it easier to work my code in
Homesite.

echo ''.$something.' '.$something_else.'';
rather than 
echo "$something $something_else";

[PHP] Free PHP Hosts?

[JJ Harrison]

Until now I haven't had the need for a free PHP host because what I have
done has been commercial.

However, In this case I am doing the website for my PC Gaming clan. We are
one step below needing php to do alot of stuff.

Does anyone know of a free php webhost? (Banners, poop-ups etc are

As with many "bugs" it's because I told it to!  To my surprise, MySQL
varchar fields have their trailing spaces removed on insertion.  Tinyblob or
Tinytext fields do not, so one needs to use those (or their larger brethren)
when saving encrypted or binary data to MySQL.  Thanks to those who tried to

[PHP] Upload multiple files

[Antti]

I want to do this for multiple files. I tried to do this with a foreach 
-loop but I think I made some mistakes with the array "userfile". In 
this example userfile is just the "name" in the input tag. When 
uploading multiple files userfile is -ofcourse- an array like this: 
name='userfile[]'. Now I want to know how to handle with that array in 
somekind of a loop. For one file the script is this:

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) {
   $namename=$_FILES['userfile']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],"/path/$namename");
if (rename("/path/$namename", "/path/$uartist-$usong.mp3"))
{
 $query = "INSERT INTO table (column1,column2,column3) values 
('$value1','$value2','$value3')";
 mysql_query($query) or die ("Couldn't make query!");
 print "File Upload and rename succesful!";
} else { print "File Upload failed!"; }

}

[PHP] Check for start_sessoin without causing header problems

[SLanger]

Hello

I checked the PHP manual and couldn't find anything on this...

When I call session_register() an implicit call to session_start() is 
executed. So if the session handling uses cookies to track the session and 
the call to session_register() is not before any output this will cause a 
header allready sent problem. Is this correct? 

If so how can I call a register session from within a class and make sure 
that the session is allready active and if not just print a warning. 

For background information: The class mentioned above is part of a 
classlib used by others and I can not guarantee that they call 
session_start since I have no controll over how my class lib gets 
included. 
So the issue here is if it is possible to create a backup for this problem 
or if I just have to rely on the user of the classlib to understand the 
mechanisms of session tracking. 
Any ideas on this? What do you consider best practice in this matter?

Thanks for all the advice I have received so far

Yes, just user $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] as the action of your form. This will
cause the page to call itself. Then you can branch your processing on the
existence of a SUBMIT button (or whatever) and handle the query.

I do all my pages this way because it keeps all the code in a single page.
It's easier for me to find it that way.

Since no one else has asked, I'll bite.  Why not just use str_rot13()?


The biggest problem I have with your code is that you didn't learn enough
about the language to know that this was already in the code. As a newb, you
need to set down with your favorite version of the manual (I keep the
windows help version open at all times) and familiarize yourself with the
language.  You do not need to memorize each function' signature but it would
help if you read the description of each function.  You'll be surprised what
you find in there.

Which means you have to give your text elements unique names. IE mycel[0] 
instead of mycel[] etc.

Both the zend accelerator (lower price for small businesses now)

double-quote performance out after the first run, so it
should be a non-issue for more and more people.  Additionally,
as you mention, it's really only an issue on largescale
system (or systems under heavy load).

It's completely a comfortability issue - I personally
find the double-quoted version easier both to read and
to type.  It's not my favorite use of time to do extra
typing just to try to shave off 2 tenths of a millisecond
for the processor - computers are here to make life

With sessions, its only the session ID that is put in the cookie or url

Well, you create the "memberOf" box, right? How do you do that? At the
same time, create a javascript or hidden variable that has its contents
to be passed along with the form.

RE: [PHP] Select multiple boxes

[Cal Evans]

What you are describing is a "2 List Mover". PHP is a server-side language
and as such knows nothing about what is going on on the client. Therefore
you have limited options. My favorite is :

In your form's onSubmit() put code to load all the values into a hidden
field. (Assuming you have defined the hidden field)



in your JavaScript put things like

document.mainForm.storeStuffHere.value += "storeStuffHere[1]='Value1'";
document.mainForm.storeStuffHere.value += "storeStuffHere[2]='Value2'";
document.mainForm.storeStuffHere.value += "storeStuffHere[3]='Value3'";

Then, when the form is submitted use:

parse_str($_POST['storeStuffHere']);

This will create the array storeStuffHere with the 3 values.

[PHP] 2 Qs: Passing current URL with session and how to avoid session timeout???

[-<[ Rene Brehmer ]>-]

Hi gang

Been trying to figure out this session stuff, but since I was unable to
make the manual sample into something workable, I instead decided to
actually try and make the session do what I need it for: Passing the URL
of the caller page to the page that's being called.

1. Only I can't figure out if there's a function to just pull the current
URL and plop it into a session variable. The thing is that these pages are
all built by using a bunch of GET variables in the URL, so it would be
easiest to just do something like:

  $_SESSION['mother'] = $currentURL;

And then in the called, daughter, page do this:

>Get back to where you
came from

As the only other way I've found is to have it use the string-functions
and re-build the current URL throughout the if-tree that builds the page.
I need to pass the mother URL to the daughter pages because there's two
main entry-points into the daugther pages, and one of them can have 10-15
different states...

But how do you pull the current url? ParseURL just smacks it into an
array, and I'll then have to rebuild it anyway ... which makes it about
just as simple as running it through the if-tree. Whether or not the
session-id is inside the URL is not essential to me, but dunno if php
cares about it.

2. Since the above is required to function at all times, I need to
override the expiration time. I can't do it in the ini file, 'cause I
can't modify the server where it's to run, and it's set to 0 there... (not
sure if that means it expires right away, or not at all)

Anyway to do this???

TIA

RE: [PHP] 2 Qs: Passing current URL with session and how to avoid session timeout???

[Cal Evans]

I guess I'm dense this morning. In response to 1:

$_SESSION['mother']=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

and then

Go Back

or better yet...
Go Back

as to #2:
I usually just pass this kind of info around on the URL.

http://mypage.com/mypage.php?prevURL=http://mypage.com/lastpage.php

if I have to pass a full query string then I urlencode() it first and
urldecode() it on the other side.

This survives sessions expiring.

Cookies are used by default. However, if cookies are disabled in a
client, a session identifier will be passed via URL variable unless
session.use_only_cookies is enabled in php.ini.

Re: [PHP] Converting accented characters or numeric equivalents to non-accented

[-<[ Rene Brehmer ]>-]

Hi Ian M. Evans,

On Fri, 17 Jan 2003 14:04:15 -0500, you wrote about "[PHP] Converting
accented characters or numeric equivalents to non-accented" something that
looked like this:

>Does anyone have a quick PHP function for converting accented characters to
>their non-accented forms? It would really help a lot with Amazon searches,
>etc.

Not sure about quick, but the only way I've found that works with 100%
guarantee everytime is to take the string and check it character by
character, and if the ascii value is > 128, simply replace it with the
ascii value marker...

something like this (untested):

for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($string_to_parse); $i++) {
  $char = substr($string_to_parse, $i, 1);
  if (ord($char) > 128) {
$output_string .= "&#".ord($char).";";
  }
  else {
$output_string .= $char;
  }
}

You may need to test for value 127 ... not sure if it starts on 0 or 1
that is...

The above structure is what I use constantly to do this...

HTH

[PHP] Does remote file(image) exist ?

[Stephen of Blank Canvas]

Hi Everyone,
 
Sorry I have no example code at all for this at all, I know some people
don't like that but I just do not know where to start so am asking for
help.
 
I have a system there users can put a picture of themselves by method of
URL in a MySQL field, however many of this image URL's do not work as
users type them in wrong.  So what I wanted to do was find a way to test
to see if the image can be accessed, then if not display a default
image.
 
Hope that makes sense, anyone already done something like this and want
to share code :-)
 
Stephen

Re: [PHP] Does remote file(image) exist ?

[Andrew Brampton]

If you looked at the usercomments for file_exists you would see it saying to
look at the fopen page for a example
In the usercomments for fopen there is a post saying this:

jamie.watt at murchison.com.au
03-Feb-2000 01:39
To check if a file exists using http or ftp use the following:


$fp = @fopen("http://www.someurl.com/testfile.php3","r";);
if ($fp)
{ print"The file exists!"; }
else
{ print"The file does not exist"; }


Note: The "@" in front of fopen suppresses the error output of the function.

I hope this clears up some confusion.

There is your answer :)

127 is the last of the 7bit numbers (0111), 128 has the 8th bit on 
(1000), so perhaps you want to test for > 127 rather than > 128.

Re: [PHP] Number Sign in String Variables

[Joab Stieglitz]

OK.  I found the problem, and it isn't PHP or MySQL related.  It's an HTML
problem.  I'm passing the string from one script to another, and the # sign
is screwing up the URL.

For example, this URL:

add_to_cart.php?item_num=SOU3432410&quantity=1&sale_price=24.92&unit=BX
&short_desc=ENVELOPE,25%COT 24#,IY&wholesaler=US&cost=18.690

gets cut off at the # sign, so $wholesaler and $cost come out empty.

Any suggestions to get around this?

Use curl, 
or
write a script that executes a telnet session that issues
HEAD commands

The key command is the "HEAD path-to-resource HTTP/1.0"

Most servers are HTTP/1.1, but using 1.0 keeps backward compatibility.

The path-to-resource is whatever the path is that would appear after the
domain in the url.

You would want to split the submitted URL into domain and path.

You issue the telnet to $domain at port 80
"telnet $domain 80"

You issue the HEAD command
"HEAD /path-to-resource HTTP/1.0"

What follows is the servers response. I've included live
examples of both a 200 response (resource exists)
and a 404 response (resource does not exist).

Parse the responses and you will know that something
exists or not.

# telnet $domain 80

[PHP] hyperlink and mySQL

[M.E. Suliman]

Hi

I have created a simple script that pulls the three latest news entries from
a mySQL database and displays it on a webpage.   At the end of the preview
paragraph of the news story there is a hyperlink to access the full text
specific to that preview.  How would I do this?  Any ideas would be
appreciated.

You could use urlencode() and urldecode().

Thanks for the response. I guess I wasn't too clear in my original post. I'm
not looking to turn an accented letter into its numeric equivalent, I'm
looking to strip the accent so that Renée Zellweger becomes Renee Zellweger.

I initially got a 'no ending delimiter' error but after adding /'s to the

I'm actually a little surprised that there isn't a built-in function, say,
strip_accent(). I'd assume a lot of people would need this at some time or

[PHP] Logfile statistics - get words from position between other words

[Svein O. Bennæs]

I'm trying to write a script that extracts some search-queries from a
logfile, but I'm having problems finding the right function to solve this
problem.

Below you'll find 4 lines from the log - the words I'm trying to extract are
(for now) written in capital letters, and they are always found between the
expression "query=" and "&hits=".

Straightforward; I am trying to get everything between "query=" and "&hits="
on each line, and output statistics on different search queries on a web
page. Probably an easy thing to do, but I'm kinda stuck on this one...

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi all,

I'm making this web site, where the owner or administrator will be able to
upload new products and these products come in different sizes. Now, I made
a table in MySQL o store the products but only with a VARCHAR field where
the administrator will store the sizes like "12, 14, 16 and 18".

I would like to store the sizes for each product in a different table, but
my question refers on how to do this... one product per row with all the
different sizes (which will leave too many blank fields in every row) or
one size per row, making several rows per product.

Thanks in advance,

Cesar L. Aracena

[PHP] Auto Incrementing in PHP

[Don Mc Nair]

Hi

Is there a way for a php page to automatically increment a number and store
it every time the page is loaded.

I want to generate an invoice number that goes up 1 everytime the HTML form
is sent to it.

Thanks

Do you mean $foo or $foobar? In the URL below it seems as if you really mean 
$foobar?

And please give an example of where $foo (or $foobar) passed in the URL 
doesn't work.

Search the archives to find out the common causes of this error (it's an 
__extremely__ FAQ).

Read up on the uses of mysql_error().

Re: [PHP] Sessions or Cookies?

That's not quite right.

Session management requires an existing method of state
management. The default state management mechanism used by
PHP is indeed cookies, but that is not the only way. All
that is required for state management is that you assign
the Web client a unique identifier that it includes on
subsequent requests. Cookies make this easy and are
somewhat "automatic" in PHP, but GET and POST variables can
also be used.

For example, say you normally depend on a cookie to
identify the client. This will probably be something like
PHPSESSID=12345. The following link would send the same
unique identifier as a GET variable:

Click Here

Unless you have PHP configured to only use cookies to
identify the client (which I think is not the default
setting anyway), it will use the PHPSESSID when sent on the
URL like this. In fact, you can configure PHP to append the
unique identifier to the URL automatically if the client
does not accept cookies. Just set session.use_trans_sid to
1 in your php.ini file if you compiled PHP with
--enable_trans_sid.

As I hope is clear, none of this requires that any client
data be passed on the URL, in cookies, or anything else.
The only data that should be sent by the client is data
necessary for client identification. All other data can
(and should in most cases) be stored on the server.

This is closely related; you can check to see whether
headers have already been sent:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.headers-sent.php

If they have not, it does not matter if you start the
session or use an existing one.

You can probably use session_name() to check for an
existing session. It is worth experimenting with anyway.

Just as a bit of advice, you should always URL encode any
data you want to append to the URL like that. Also,
decoding it is superfluous, because the Web server will do
that for you (since URL data is supposed to be URL
encoded).

[PHP] PGP signing text from called from PHP

[{R}ichard Ashton]

Using PHP 4.1.2  I need to PGP sign a piece of text and detached the signature. I have 
read a lot in the archives and and about the better exec() calls in 4.3.

However I cannot find a reference that indicates the best way to pass a set of 
arguments out of a PHP script to PGP.

I need to use pgp2.6.3i the pgp command line looks like a bit this

pgp -sabf -u "pgpuser"  "pgppassphrase"  <"text"   >"pgpsignature" 

This has to be given to the Bash Shell with whatever works exec() system() or 
passthrough(), any output can be retrieved later . 

It is possible, if anyone knows how, to set ENV variable in the shell to preload the 
passphrase and the pgpuser into ENV variables.

Has anyone cracked this? Any pointers to archived messages I have missed.

Any suggestions at all would be most welcome.

{R}

I assume you're talking about incrementing for everyone that accesses
your site. For that you need a database to keep track of the number for
all users. You'd be replicating an "Application Variable" that other
languages have.

If you're talking about incrementing on a per user basis, i.e. each time
a specific user goes to the form, increment their number, then use
sessions to keep a count.

Sounds like you want a SET column, where you can define the different
values it can contain and it can contain any of those values.

So, if you have a SET(12,14,16,18) column, it can have values like
'12,18' and '14,16,18' and '12', etc...

You can then use functions such as FIND_IN_SET to quickly look for
specific values. Note that this would be quicker than using a plain
VARCHAR column to store a comma separated string. 

Or, you could have a 'size' table where you store the Item_ID and a
size. So you'd have rows like this:

+--+--+
| Item | Size |
+--+--+
| 1|12|
| 1|14|
| 2|14|
| 3|16|
| 3|18|
+--+--+

And do JOINs to find your relevant data.

You shouldn't be using mysql_db_query() for one, it's depreciated. Use
mysql_select_db() along with mysql_query().

If rowid is an integer, then you don't need quotes around $foo,
otherwise, if it's a string, then you do.

where rowid='$foo'

[PHP] File perms when dir already exists

[rw]

Hello all!

I have a number of scripts that upload 5 files at a time each.
The first one creates the dir using umask(000)and mkdir($dir,0777)
which gives the first five files perms 777, which is what I want.

I have the subsequent scripts check if the dir exists and if not does the same
thing with umask and mkdir.  The problem is the uploaded files in scripts 2
through 5 do not inherit the perms 777.

The script:

if (!is_dir("/mnt/ls6/17/169//htdocs/2003/uploads/$mls")){
umask(000);
mkdir($dir,0777)or die("couldn't create directory");
}
$path1=$dir . "/1.jpg"; 
move_uploaded_file( $upload1, $path1)or die("couldn't upload photo");   
$sql = (" UPDATE gallery SET img1 = '1' WHERE mls = '$mls';"); 

Is there a parameter I can include in move_uploaded_file() to set the perms on
the remaining files?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[PHP] Re: hyperlink and mySQL

[Bobby Patel]

I have done something similar:
write a script that takes an Article ID, and displays the text. So to
displat article #3, you would call it like getArticle.php?id=3.
Skelton for getArticle.php
- take id and store in $id
- Select FullBody from Articles where ID = $id
- $body = query['FullBody']
- then echo $body

That's the basic idea, if you have any problems email me and post to the
list.

And the line you get that error looks like? It looks like you're trying
to fopen() a file that's made up of PHP_SELF and the QUERY_STRING.

One quick note, if you DO NOT have access to a database, you could store
that incremented number to a file. And open and retrieve, and increment
every time you need. If you need to take this approach checkout php.net and
search for "fopen".

RE: [PHP] 2 Qs: Passing current URL with session and how to avoid session timeout???

[John W. Holmes]

1. You can "create" the current page with a combination of PHP_SELF,
QUERY_STRING, etc... Take a look at a phpinfo() page to see all of the
variables. 

2. You can use ini_set() in your code to change the settings for your
sessions or an .htaccess file if your on *nix.

Your web server is trying to find a directory with that long name. If
you encode the entire string, you need to pass it in a new variable,
then break it apart again.
 
> Suggestions?

Sorry, I gave some bad advice the first time. All you need to do is
urlencode each of the variables individually. Something like this:

$item_num_encoded = urlencode($item_num);
[...]

Then your link will be something like this:

add_to_cart.php?item_num=$item_num_encoded

Re: [PHP] Number Sign in String Variables

[Steve Edberg]

You need to urlencode() selectively; in this case, only the 
short_desc needs to be encoded, so you would have a statement 
something like

	echo
	"add_to_cart.php?item_num=$item_num&quantity=$quantity".
	"&sale_price=$sale_price&unit=$unit&short_desc=".
	url_encode($short_desc)."&wholesaler=$wholesaler&cost=$cost"
	;

You need to encode any parameter (everything to the right of that 
first '?') that might include the '?', '&'. '#' or space characters, 
since those all mean something special in a URL. To be safe, it's 
best to encode everything - or at least all strings. However, you 
have to encode them individually, since you need the UNencoded '&' 
between them to delimit parameters, and you need that '?' there to 
indicate the start of the parameters.

I don't know the details of your program design, but there may be no 
reason to pass all the item details (description, sale price, etc.) 
in the URL anyway. Can't you just look them up in the add_to_card.php 
page, based on the item_num? Thus, all you need to pass are the 
quantity & item_number:

	echo "add_to_cart.php?item_num=$item_num&quantity=$quantity";

For one thing, that would eliminated the possibility of someone 
trying to get everything for free by manually typing a URL like

 You could use urlencode() and urldecode().

Re: [PHP] Number Sign in String Variables

[Joab Stieglitz]

All I'm doing is making a hyperlink that sends the selected item from the
catalog to the add to shopping cart script.  The code now looks like this...

  $value = rawurlencode("add_to_cart.php?item_num=" . $item_num .
"&quantity=1&sale_price=" . $our_price .
"&unit=" . $unit .
"&short_desc=" . $short_desc .
"&wholesaler=" . $wholesaler .
"&cost=" . $cost);

  echo "Add\n";

... and executes the link when the user clicks on the shopping cart icon.

Subject: [PHP] Multiple sizes for products


Hi all,

I'm making this web site, where the owner or administrator will be able to
upload new products and these products come in different sizes. Now, I made
a table in MySQL o store the products but only with a VARCHAR field where
the administrator will store the sizes like "12, 14, 16 and 18".

I would like to store the sizes for each product in a different table, but
my question refers on how to do this... one product per row with all the
different sizes (which will leave too many blank fields in every row) or
one size per row, making several rows per product.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [PHP] 2 Qs: Passing current URL with session and how to avoidsession timeout???

[Justin French]

1. If you require the back button to work forever, then do not use sessions,
because they're not designed to be a forever thing.


2. I do this sort of stuff by building my own URL from $_SERVER components:



The reason why I base64_encode() it is so that the vars=values of the
previous page don't affect the next page.

I the link to the second page might be something like:

click

on page.php, to establish a back button:


go back


3.  This way, the referring/mother URL is always attached to that URL... if
they bookmark it, of give it to a friend, it's always there... sessions
don't achieve this, and cookies usually can, apart from the usual cookie
problems.


CHeers,

Justin

Or use a file-based counter.  There are 1000's of counter scripts out there

RE: [PHP] SQL+php

[Sean Malloy]

If you want to do it within the query itself, take a look at the mysql
replace command

REPLACE(str,from_str,to_str)

SELECT REPLACE(,,) FROM table

or you can do it using PHP once the query has executed, on a record by
record basis, within a while/for loop or whatever.

[PHP] Changing order of just one array item?

[Leif K-Brooks]

I need to change where one item is ordered in an array.  I know how to 
sory an array, but I need to move one item up/down in the array.  Example:
$array is:
0 => "element one"
1 => "element two"
2 => "element three"
3 => "element four"
I call array_order_up($array[1]) and $array is now:
0 => "element one"
2 => "element three"
1 => "element two"
3 => "element four"

If there aren't any native functions to do this, can anyone think of a 
way to make my own function to do this?

use [] in your select box name. When it comes back in the $_POST array you
will have an array of options.  It breaks HTML standard therefore it is a
Bad Thing (tm) but it does work.


Don't pick me
Pick me


Selecting both results in:

$_POST['mySelect'][1] == "Don't pick me"
$_POST['mySelect'][2] == "Pick me"

Hi-
Is there any way to get all of the elements in a SELECT MULTIPLE box, not
just the ones that are selected?  Thanks!

The problem is I have 2 seelect boxes...it's for creating a user and adding
them to a list of available groups...so I have one select box that is
initially empty called memberOf and another box that has all of the
available groups listed in it called availableGroups.  I have a script that
can move items back and forth and when the form is submitted

Wouldn't that produce a link to the current url, rather than the previous?

I can't do that reliably, my URLs are simply too long on some occasions
... so the URL ends up getting the end cut off...

But apparently the sessions expiring isn't an issue afterall ... have had
the page loaded for several hours, and the recursive linkage still works
... Will have to upload to my webhost though before I can be absolutely
certain ... Retaining matching settings in my test-enviro is not entirely
possible because their Apache is older than mine...and they run with
globals on, and I design for them off, just to be safe...

something that looked like this:

I only need the session to pass the url on to the next page ... once there
the old URL will be written into the HTML code... The only reasons I need
to do it with sessions is because my urls are too long for the encoded url
to be transfered reliably within the url...

I don't have that problem. Variables aren't reausable because I'm doing
divide and conquer design ... that way I can prevent the code from being
too complex and requiring to many variables to work. Thus my variables
differ from master page to master page, all the common ones are rewritten
on each page load (as it only controls the menu links to be linked
correctly up/down folder levels).

Apparently the trans_sid being on (or 1 as it is) makes the sid transfer
correctly everytime, atleast with my current setup ... which is this:

On mother:

  $_SESSION['mother'] = "girlz.php?locat=$loc&list=$list&year=$year";

On child:
  
if ($name != "") {
  $backlink = "Back to where you came from";
  echo($backlink);
}

And before you ask, the reason the backlink is in a variable is because
it's reused a couple times down the page.

The above is, of course, only part of the code. It checks for alot more
stuff in the child file. Still have to work out how to ensure that the
backlink will produce a workable return link even when the page is
launched without a call from a mother page...

But that'll have to wait until morning ... it's 4.45 AM here now ;-) ...
gotta get some snooze...

It's _for_ PHP Professionals. If I read a Woman's magazine, does that
make me a woman?

Anyhow, answers like this are a good way for people to learn not to ask
Yes or No questions. There's even a funny FAQ on this, but I can't find
the link anywhere.

They have to select each file individually. Each file must be uploaded
through it's own  input element. 

The details of how to do these things are in the manual, the chapter
titled Handling File Uploads.
