[PHP] Context

[Boaz Yahav]

HI

I was reading this article : http://www.devarticles.com/art/1/397/2
And am a bit confused now.

If I understand correctly, the author claims that :

 
Combining HTML output and 
 
tags really wastes my time. 

Runs "slightly" faster than 

 


IS this true?
Is echo more consuming than entering and exiting in and out of context?

Re: [PHP] Re: domxml memberfunction not dom compliant??

[Øyvind Vestavik]

Thanks for your reply Stefan.

I hadn't really read the manual, had just been working with DOM level 2 in
java before, and the fact that attributes are not children of elements,
puzzled me. But after reading the DOM level 2 spesification, it may seem
that you are right.

To me, the fact that attributes are not children of the element they are
contain within seems to defy the purpose of DOM, which is to represent
the entire document as a tree/trees depending on the documenttype.
This tree should be made up of Node interfaces, and as attributes inherit
from the Node interface (like element, text and so on) it seems odd to me
that the attribute is not part of the dom tree.

But I guess it is easier to rewrite my code according to the
"shortcommings" in dom than to change DOM level 2 and subsequently to
change the libxml-libraries :-)

I need to specify a absolute path to a file on my harddrive, but you can't
use backslashes in php. Right?

This is what I do to transmit a file for a save-as download, and it works
in all browsers I know and have tested the same (Netscape, IE, Opera/Win;
Mozilla, Konqueror et al. / Linux):

header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-length: ' . strlen($this->export));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment' .
(empty($fname) ? '' : ';filename="'.$fname.'.csv"'));
echo $this->export;
exit();

Note that it seems to be necessary to surround the filename using quotes to
make it work correctly.

PHP tries to "help" you - you can only compare data of the same type. So
PHP goes ahead and casts this for you, a string to int in this case.

If you compare it using "===" (typesafe comparison) you will get correct
results.

Oh yes, you can. Just pay attention that the backslash is an "escape"
character telling PHP to take the next character literally. So if you want
a backslash you need to type 2 of them:

"C:\Program Files\php" ==> "C:\\Program Files\\php"

Possibly the server is behind a firewall and is not allowed to make an

Please use a descriptive subject.

You escape an intended literal backslash with a backslash.

You need to include the class definition of an object _before_
instantiating it. If you omit the class definition, PHP has no chance to
assign the correct class and uses a builtin default class.

Include your class definition file before session_start() and you'll be fine.

You can also use forward slashes just as effectively.

C:/path/to/your/file.php

Or, if the file is on the C drive, you can use

/path/to/your/file.php

without even using the c: part.

It doesn't matter. If you're doing anything worthwhile in your code,
whatever style you use is going to be negligible to the final time it
takes your code to parse. 

Use what ever is comfortable for you, whichever you understand better.
Or, better yet, use a templating system so your HTML is always
completely separate from your PHP.

Wouldn't another option be to use HTML entities for anything in your

Re: [PHP] Using custom "button" form element instead of standard "submit"?

[Durwood Gafford]

sure this would work but it'd be VERY inefficient in my application.  It's a
file browser application so i have hundreds of folder icons on a page .. the
'submit' element will pass back the name of the button clicked and it would
be available immediately/directly, which is what i want.  BUT an 'image'
element would require me to loop through ALL buttons doing an 'isset' test
on each one.

I can't believe html provides no means for using an icon as a submit button.
well i'm off pursuing a javascript solution now.

by the way .. unrelated question ... why would one want to use
$_REQUEST['foo'] instead of just $foo? doesn't php give you access to form

1,073,741,824 bytes is exactly 1 gig - that's a *lot* of memory...

Is this an astonishingly large query? Seems the PHP interpreter can't grab
enough memory to do whatever it's trying to - I could well be wrong though.

Got any code we can see?

With the first method, you'd need to test for a button named 'sample_a'.
For the second method, you'd need to test for a button named 'sample_b_x'.

So where's the difference?

You need to "loop" through all available button names anyway, orhave I
completely misunderstood your question?

Or why not:

  $lookingfor = 'somebutton';

  if (isset($_REQUEST[{$lookingfor . '_x'}])) {
  print "Found it, a button named $lookingfor was clicked";
  }

Or something, I think this is what you mean?  Whatever the
problem, there will be a solution ... don't stress :)  But
regarding the problem here, I don't get what you mean.  How
familiar are you with arrays?  Anyway, as Chris stated, the
name/value will be available in the appropriate autoglobal 
which will be $_POST or $_GET, and/or $_REQUEST.

It's as of PHP 4.2.0 that the default value of the
register_globals directive went from on to off.  It is 
this directive that pollutes your script with  these 
variables and it's recommended to not use them and
leave this deprecated directive off.  Now what happened
in PHP 4.1.0 was the introduction of autoglobals but
this is all described in various places in the manual
and here's such a place that links to others:

  http://www.php.net/variables.external

May as well read this too:

  http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php

Where have you been, hibernating? :)

Re: [PHP] Using custom "button" form element instead of standard "submit"?

[Ernest E Vogelsinger]

To add to my message, you could:

$buttons = array('sample_a_x', 'sample_b', 'sample_c_x');
$button_pressed = array_intersect($buttons, array_keys($_REQUEST));

If you have everything perfect, i.e. all available buttons are held in the
array, and there are no other input fields in your form that might
name-collide (which wouldn't be good anyway ;->), this will give you an
array with exactly one entry if any of the buttons are clicked, be it an
image (sample_a, sample_c) or a regular (sample_b) button.

[PHP] Passing Object Refs throught Arrays

[James]

I'm having a problem, and I wrote this sample code to illistrate it.

In this code, I'm trying to create a object, put it throught a que. I
then want something to happen to this object, and this change to be
reflected in the original object. I am aware that PHP uses copy
symantecs not refrence ones, so I have used "&" at all the places I can
see to use them. However it doesnt work: the output from this is still
0 not 100 as it should be.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or URL's to really good guides on
reference passing?

Thanks in Advance,
James.

-

class test {
var $flag = 0;
}

// Make Object
$root = new test();

// Make Que
$que = array();

// Stick object on que
array_push($que, &$root);

// Take object from Que
$consider =& array_shift($que);

// Change something on the object we pulled from the que
$consider->flag = 100;

// Test and see if it changed on the original object
echo($root->flag);

Re: [PHP] Using custom "button" form element instead of standard "submit"?

no ... with the first example you can have numerous buttons on the same HTML
page with the same name and use the 'value' attribute to see which one is
pressed. I did this and it works quite elegantly for my application.






your php form handler can now simply do:

print "The user selected button $sample\n")

otherwise, with the image solution you'd have to do something like this...

foreach ($_GET as $button) {
  if (isset($button)) {
$button_name = substr($button, -2, 0);  // or whatever to remove the _x
print "The user selected button substr($button_name);
break;
  }
}

Although arrays might provide a solution that wouldn't quite be as good as
the 'submit' button solution, but not as worse as a straight name-based
'image' solution.

Given that the 'button' element with "type = submit" does NOT work, maybe
the javascript solution is the most elegant. but i haven't gotten that to
work yet either!

This would display the "value" as button text. It works, BUT:
- you cannot divert content from data or functionality
- you have to modify code if you want to modify your page

Something that might not be worthwile, depends on the project size.

However, if you need to act on a button, you _need_ to test for something,
be it the name or the value.

>Although arrays might provide a solution that wouldn't quite be as good as

I still don't get it - maybe you could show us your approach to the
solution so we can grasp the problem?

>Given that the 'button' element with "type = submit" does NOT work, maybe

Now that's more easy:




... something here






This will give you a $_REQUEST['button'] containing the button value. Note
though that this doesn't work if JS has been disabled in the browser, or if
the "browser" doesn't support JS at all.

If that's what you want, then just make each button a normal  link
and pass an variable to the next page in the link (like someone has already
suggested). You'd get the same end result.






print "The user selected button $sample\n";

Hi,

I think you'll need to do this in the database, then.

If you try and grab the whole field and then parse it in your script, you
have to actually get that gig of data into your script - I assume this is
where the error is happening, as your server doesn't have enough memory to
store the query results.

> Here is my code:

Can you do select a substring with MSSQL? Something like:
  SELECT SUBSTR(tblSamNr.Body, 500, 2048)

(assuming the 2kb text you want to grab starts at character 500)

[PHP] Encryption using MMCrypt - whats the point?

[Mike Morton]

I want to use the mcrypt functions to encrypt credit card numbers for
storage in a mysql database, which mycrypt does admirably:

$key = "this is a secret key";
$input = "Let us meet at 9 o'clock at the secret place.";
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv (mcrypt_get_iv_size (MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256,
MCRYPT_MODE_CBC), MCRYPT_RAND);

$encrypted_data = base64_encode(@mcrypt_encrypt (MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 , $key,
$input, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC,$iv));

The trouble is - the key and the IV.  Both of these have to be available in
the merchants administration for retrieval of the credit card, thus need to
be stored somewhere - most likely on the server or in a database.  Here is
the problem - if someone gets to the database and retrieves the encrypted
credit card, the chances are that they are able to also retrieve the script
that did the encryption, thus find out where the key and IV are stored,
making it simple to decrypt the credit card for them.

The only solution that I can see is to use an asymetric encryption and have
the merchant enter the decryption key at the time of credit card retrieval -
but that is unrealistic for a User Interface point of view.

So - the only other thing that I can see to do is have a compiled program,
bound to the server, that has the key compiled into the program.  I am not a
C programmer - so this is also not exactly possible.

Does anyone else have any answers or has anyone else run into this?  Is this
just a general problem with doing encryption through PHP as opposed to a
compiled binary?  Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

Thanks :)

Re: [PHP] Encryption using MMCrypt - whats the point?

[Jason Sheets]

Not a good idea, you might look at some form of public key encryption
where you encrypt the credit card information with the public key and
the merchant decrypts it with their private key that is not on the
server.

You generally do not want to store the information encrypted with mcrypt
because in order for your application to encrypt it it must know the key
and the IV, in order for an attacker to decypt it all they need is the
IV and key as well.

There is a PHP module named "GPG Extension" available at
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gpgext/, it uses the gpg made easy
library to enable PHP to do public key encryption without launching
command line programs (also insecure).

Basically look on google for information on storing credit card numbers,
it is not easy to do this securely and generally good advice is not to
do it.  

If you have your merchants going over an SSL connection (which you
should) you can write your own PHP session handler and use mcrypt to
encrypt the session information with a random key generated by your
script, since it is passed over SSL it is encrypted in transit, then
decrypt the session information and load it.  Encrypting your sessions
opens the possibility to store more sensitive information inside them.

I still do not recommend storing credit card information even with these
measures, it exposes you for liability should something bad happen.  

Take a look at authorize.net or verisign's credit card processing
services, or find out if other processing companies have the capability
to store credit card information.

[PHP] Re: Best PHP db wrapper?

[Manuel Lemos]

Hello,

On 01/30/2003 02:48 AM, John Wells wrote:

Trying to decide between wrappers for a rather large application, and
wanted some input from the group as I haven't used any of these to any
degree.  So far, I've found PearDB, metabase, adodb, and MDB.

What's the best option?  My main concerns are speed and good community
support.


If you are concerned about speed, I think you should not bother to use a 
database wrapper because all of them add overhead due to the flexibility 
they provide. The more is the flexibility, the more overhead may be added.

If on the other hand you are looking for database application 
portability so you do not have to rewrite your application if you switch 
databases, maintainability and thus development speed, you may want to 
try Metabase or MDB which is a Metabase version with PEAR-DB like API.

Metabase lets you write truely portable database application. Other 
provide some level of portability but not up to the level that Metabase 
provide.

One unique feature of Metabase is that it provide very easy and portable 
database schema management. This means that in practice you can easily 
describe your database schema with tables, fields, indexes and sequences 
in a very XML based format and Metabase installs the schema for you.

Later, if you want to change your schema by adding/removing/altering any 
of the schema objects, you can simply alter the schema definition and 
Metabase will apply the changes without affecting any data inserted 
after the database schema was installed for the first time or updated 
for the last time.

Furthermore, if you are looking for very fast database application 
development support, you may also want to look into Metastorage. This is 
 a database API generator application that lets you model your database 
applications in the form of classes of objects that basically wrap 
around your database tables providing functions that you specify that 
your application need to manipulate the table rows as objects of such 
classes.

All you need to do is to specify in a very simple XML format, the 
classes with the variables you need, validation rules, relationships 
between classes and the functions of the operations your application 
needs, and Metastorage generates all the code of the classes for you, 
including the code to install and maintain the database schema.

For now, Metastorage generates code based on Metabase but in the future 
it will generate compatible code that just uses calls to the native 
database PHP API functions, thus achieving maximum speed as you need 
while also assuring true portability.

Either Metabase and Metastorage are integrated in the same project 
repository that you may learn all about it here:

Hey,

Where can I find a compiled php_apd.dll for Windows 2000 / PHP 4.3.0? If 
you have it, it would be great if you could send it to me (to me 
personally and not the list).

Thanks!

Title: Re: [PHP] Encryption using MMCrypt - whats the point?




Granted, the $350 stand-alone encoder is a bit expensive. I'm talking about the online

encoder though, you pass your PHP script through the online-control center and it

output's the encrypted version, a typical PHP program is $5.00 (yes that's five dollar's),

try selecting your code after you register for a free account, it will tell you how much it

would cost to encode it. And after it is encoded, the decoder's (the things you put on

the server to run the encrypted program's) are 100% free.

The only solution that I can see is to use an asymetric encryption and have

the merchant enter the decryption key at the time of credit card retrieval -

but that is unrealistic for a User Interface point of view.



So - the only other thing that I can see to do is have a compiled program,

bound to the server, that has the key compiled into the program.  I am not a

Does anyone else have any answers or has anyone else run into this?  Is this

just a general problem with doing encryption through PHP as opposed to a

[PHP] MySQL - setting relationships

[Denis L. Menezes]

hello friends,

I am a newbie at MySQL.

In MS Access we specifically set relationships. In MySQL, I have found no

Is is that we do not need to set the relationships in MySQl and only matching the 
Field IDs in respectyive tables is suffecient?

Thanks

[PHP] HTTP_GET_VARS[]

[Mike Tuller]

I have created a page for editing a row in a MySql database where first 
I have a page listing the items in the table, and have the id as a 
hypertext link that then on then opens the editing page with the 
correct information using HTTP_GET_VARS[id] where the URL is 
http://127.0.0.1/asset/editsoftwareasset.php?id=3. The issue I am 
having now is that I have the editsoftwareassest.php's form action set 
to POST to a script called updatesoftwareasset.php that is supposed to 
take the values from the fields in editsoftwareasset.php and update the 
information. I have the following statement sent to the database.

$query = "UPDATE assets SET title = '$title', version = '$version', 
developer = '$developer', serial_number = '$serial_number',  WHERE 
asset_id = '$HTTP_GET_VARS[id]'" ;

The $HTTP_GET_VARS[id] variable doesn't seem to carry to this script. I 
tested the sql statement by by having the asset_id = '3', and it 
updated the record, but the HTTP_GET_VARS didn't. How can I have the 
editsoftwareasset.php POST to the updatesoftwareasset.php and carry the 
HTTP_GET_VARS variable so that I can update the correct record?

I hope all of this makes sense.

Change the var to '{$HTTP_POST_VARS['id']}' (with the curly braces since
the array reference is inside a double quoted string.  If your version
of php is 4.1.2 or higher, you really ought to use '{$_POST['id']}'
since it's a magic global and easier to use since you won't have to
declare it global inside functions.

Re: [PHP] HTTP_GET_VARS[]

[Mike Tuller]

I am using PHP 4.3.0. it looks a little confusing because I am not 
using the $_POST when calling variables, but that is because before 
that script I have this.

$title = $_POST['title'];
$version = $_POST['version'];
$developer = $_POST['developer'];
$serial_number = $_POST['serial_number'];
$platform = $_POST['platform'];

For me it makes things easier to read.

I changed what you said, and it still doesn't update anything. I even 
added echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['id']; to check to see if there was any 
value, but the echo statement doesn't return anything.

Can I carry the HTTP_POST_VARS to another page, or do I need to use 
hidden fields or something?

[PHP] PHP - mysql_info question

[Mark McCulligh]

I have written a PHP function that uses the MySQL command:
LOAD DATA INFILE ...

The command returns the result in mysql_info()
Records: 42 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 5

My question is how do you find out what the 5 warnings are.
Does MySQL put them in a log file somewhere and is there a way to display
them to my user through PHP.

Thanks,
Mark.

Is is that we do not need to set the relationships in MySQl and only 
matching the Field IDs in respectyive tables is suffecient?

Current versions of MySQL do not have ways to constrain foreign keys 
unless you're using the InnoDB table type. This will change in later 
versions of MySQL. For the time being, you can still create your 
database as you otherwise would and perform a join across the tables.

RE: [PHP] Adding HTTP URL Code

[ELLIOTT,KATHERINE A (HP-FtCollins,ex1)]

Hi all!

Unfortunately, I didn't receive any replies to the problem I sent out
on January 16th so I thought I'd send another email and perhaps
clarify what I am seeing so that maybe someone CAN help and ask
if folks on the list have just not seen this issue before.

The program I am working on allows the customer to view test results
based on a keyword.  If the results contain a URL (these URLs are 
entered into the MySQL database as straight text), I make it live 
using the code snippet below.  Unfortunately, I have not been successful
doing this no matter what I try.  Currently, after I have run the code
below, what I see is a link containing the correct text but, when you put
the cursor over the link, the actual URL is that of the "base" browser
page.  For example, I am working on a file located at:

http://fake.url.com/testing/Test_Results/search_keyword.php

(which is called from form Search_Keyword.php).

If the test results that fit the keyword search contains, say, URL
http://www.cleanrun.com (again, entered into the database as
plain text), this is what will show up in the search output.  HOWEVER,
when the cursor is placed over the URL (or the URL is clicked), the
URL that appears at the bottom of the browser corresponding to 
the cursor'd URL is http://fake.url.com/testing/Test_Results.

Is there something in my PHP config file I might be missing?  Is there
something in my code I'm not doing correctly?  Has anyone else ever
seen this problem?

HELP!!!  I'm at my wits end with this one.  I'm afraid I'm not going to
be able to make these links live which will make the tool much less
usable.  Please let me know if you need more information from me in
order to help!

Thanks so much,

Katherine

Subject: RE: [PHP] Adding HTTP URL Code


Thanks for all your help with my URL code problem!

I have come up with a solution that seems to half work and I can't
figure out what I need to do to get it fully functional.  Given my
data string (text) from my database, this is what I do to replace the
URL text with a functioning link.  I am asking folks that, if they 
include a URL in their results to surround it by [] so that I can search
for the brackets.  This is what my text replace line looks like:

$data_str = eregi_replace ("(\[http://)([^]]*)", "\\0", $data_str);

So, if the URL is (for example) [http://www.cleanrun.com] (in plain text),
it will show up for viewing in my browser as http://www.cleanrun.com
but the URL associated with it will be that of the directory in the browser
"Location" (i.e. http://wrong.url.com/Test_Results).

I've tried all sorts of things with the call to eregi_replace but can't
figure out what is going on.

What the hec???  Can someone help?

Many thanks!!

With regards to your original query, the answer is in the archives. Try

[PHP] Mysterious gap

[Lightfirst]

Hello All, I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I am having with
PHP (3.23.49) and mysql  (4). My objective is to fill a table with data from
a database. My problem is that I cannot figure out why I get a gap
(noticeable with about 20 records) at the top of the page (just below the
text line) when I run the code below. In addition, the gap grows (just
slightly) with the amount of records that I retrieve from the database (the
gap will be about 7 lines with 200 records).

The code you see (which has been taken out of a larger program) is what I
needed to reproduce the problem. I know that if I take out the hidden field
the gap will be eliminated (though I am clueless why that should make a
difference) but I need the hidden field for the switch statement (part of
the code I removed).

The data in the database is regular text -nothing weird (I have tested with
a few tables and have encountered the same problem).

Any ideas...Thanks in advance.
-David


   This is the top of the page. Where is this gap comming from??

My bad, I misunderstood what you meant. Yes, you'll need to save the id
from the get, and put it in a hidden field on the form or in a session
var, and use that in the update.  Still, make sure to wrap the array
reference in curly braces inside the double quoted string.

[PHP] Re: Reporting tools for PHP?

[Mark McCulligh]

You can now buy Crystal Reports that runs on non-windows platforms.
Crystal Reports 9 advance has mult-platform version.
But is not cheap, $1,900 US. (also only 3-thread, unlimited threaded reports
cost 25,000 US per CPU)

Are you looking to put reports online, for users can run and view report
through your site.  Or do you want to just write some reports to run
internally for yourself/company.  If you just want to run the reports
through the crystal report application itself.  Just install MyODBC on a
windows desktop, then install Crystal Report. (like someone else suggested)

Of course if you server is window already you can install normal crystal
report right on it, I am assume your MySQL server is not windows.

If you check the result set for a match.  $result being true will only
mean the sql executed, and not that the value was in the table.  So you
should do a mysql_fetch_row($result) and if it succeeds the row exists
in the table.

RE: [PHP] XML PHP question

[Chris McCluskey]

Hardik,

I have created my own XML parser based on the existing php xml functions
http://php.net/xml .  I've found this is nice but a bit annoying since I
have to write everything from scratch.  After about a week or two trying
to get my parser just right I gave up and used MSXML 4.0 which is a
Microsoft COM Object and contains everything you need to created XML
Documents, parse them, validate them agaisnt DTD and XSD Schemas, etc...
I use php's COM Support http://php.net/com to do this and created a
wrapper object around the COM object with php for easy implementation..

Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] Using custom "button" form element instead of standard "submit"?

Indeed this solution does appear to be the best in that it does not rely on
client-side scripting, it allows for control of the icon/button appearance,
and it allows direct access to the "value" associated with the selected
button.  I had hoped to use POST instead of GET, however -- i didn't want to
pass the information via the URL.

To make the issues more clear (assuming everyone's not totally burned out
thinking about this one), I will submit links to working, example code in a
followup post. I'm swamped with a proposal i'm working on for my 'day' job,
however -- so stay tuned.

thanks for all of the insights/assistance!

Re: [PHP] Reporting tools for PHP?

Because Crystal Reports is an overpriced rip-off.  To get full web report

three connections.

Why buy anything when good open source solutions exist?  Makes no sense.

As for using open source tools, I totally agree with using OpenSource

[PHP] Removing elements of multidimensional array

[Erich C. Beyrent]

Hey everyone,

I am reading an ini file into an array using the parse_ini_file() function.  What I 
want to do is delete a section from the ini file, and thought that the best way to do 
it would be to unset one of the keys in the array returned by the parse function.  I 
then want to write the modified array back out to the ini file.  I am having a hard 
time doing the unset though - what am I missing?

* CODE *
// Parse out the events file
 $array = parse_ini_file('./data/events', TRUE);
 while($key = key($array))
 {
  if ($key == $event)
  {
   unset($key); 
   next($array);
  }
  else { next($array); }
 }

// This prints the contents of the array, and the value that I tried to unset is still 
there...
 print_r($array);

* END CODE *

Thanks!

[PHP] Sorting multidimensional arrays..

[Chad Day]

I'm struggling with array_multisort, was hoping someone could give me some
help.

I have a multidim array, such as:

$myarray[0][FIRSTNAME] = JOE
$myarray[1][FIRSTNAME] = TIM
$myarray[2][FIRSTNAME] = BOB

$myarray[0][LASTNAME] = SMITH
$myarray[1][LASTNAME] = BROWN
$myarray[2][LASTNAME] = JONES

$myarray[0][EXTENSION] = 2000
$myarray[1][EXTENSION] = 4000
$myarray[2][EXTENSION] = 1000

I was trying array_multisort($myarray[EXTENSION], SORT_NUMERIC, SORT_DESC),
but nothing seems to be happening to the array.  If anyone has any clues or
can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Chad

Suppose you use PWS and not Apache (the path in the error seems to
point to a PWS directory). Anyway: The variable UN1 is not defined.
Maybe you could try to search for 'UN1' in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\sdd\pages\redirection.php?

Because you have an undefined variable. You have a variable that has not
been assigned a value. Assign it a default value or use isset() in your
tests and this will go away.

[PHP] mysq_connect()

[Cesar Rodriguez]

Hi there, my name is Cesar Rodriguez and I am trying to upgrade from Caldera
Linux Server 2.3 into RedHat Server 8.0. The problem I encounter is that
after testing different scripts, php is working, except when I make an MySQL
call like mysql_connect() or mysql_pconnect().
The call is as follows:

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user1', 'passwd')
or exit();

mysql_select_db ('mydb')
or exit ();

$result = mysql_query ('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM clients')
or exit ();

if ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result))
.  etc ..

The message I get is:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in
var/www/html/lesson/firsta.php"

Seems that PHP4 does not find the MySQL library. I checked php.ini and
httpd.conf files and everything is in its place apparently. I re-installed
everything from scratch with no positive result. I would appreciate advice
on this issue.

Thanks

Nope...because the value returned by mysql_query() isn't the number of
rows returned by the query...it's a pointer to the result set (which
could be empty).

You'll want something more like...

  do {
$f1 = rand(999,);
$check_sid = mysql_query("SELECT * from that_table WHERE
this='$f1'"));
  } while (mysql_num_rows($check_sid))

[PHP] Variable Fun

[James E Hicks III]

This code:
";
echo $test2."---".$test1."";
if ( $test2 != $test1){
echo ("The variables are not equal.");
}
?>
Produces the following output (Notice that it doesn't say vars are not equal);

string---string

02061030012451---02061030012452




And this code:
";
echo $test2."---".$test1."";
if ( $test2 != $test1){
echo ("The variables are not equal.");
}
?>
Produces the following output (Notice it printed the message about vars not
being equal);

string---string

02061030012451---02061030012452

The variables are not equal.


Why does PHP Version 4.2.3 ignore my (string) - cast to string in the if
evaluation?
I even tried putting the (string) inside the IF statement with no difference in
execution.


P.S.
The variables were reporting string before I even tried (string).

Try urlencode your data before outputing it.

So, you are talking about two things:

1. A link
2. The link itself

One works and one doesn't.

As a complete guess, look into URL encoding. I bet you are
trying to use a space in a URL.

Re: [PHP] Sorting multidimensional arrays..

[Tim Ward]

if 'EXTENSION' is unique then you can make life
a lot easier by making that the key of the root array
(this is a heirarchy of arrays).

String comparisons are best done using strcmp() or:

 if ($string1 === $string2) { echo "equal"; }

or

 if ($string1 !== $string2) { echo "not equal"; }

[PHP] Re: problems with include()

[Al]

Looks like you are only backing up 2 levels when you need 3.

Why not try something like:

$root= "the absolute path to your root folder";

Then simply:

include ($root . "mainfile.php");

etc.

[PHP] php question - query string

[Anthony Ritter]

The following script is from Kevin Yank's book on page 59-60.  (Sitepoint)

I'd like to get some clarification about the line: (almost next to last line
in the script)

...
echo("Add a Joke!");



He has a link called "Add a Joke!".

When the user clicks on the link, the same page loads - with the form this
time - and the query string passes the value -1 - to the variable $addjoke.

Am I on the right track?

If so, why does 1 - as opposed to 2 or something else - have to be the
name/value pair if the user is adding another joke?

Thank you.

[PHP] Re: php question - query string

[Philip Hallstrom]

You've got it right... look at the man page for parse_str() for more info
on the QUERY_STRING stuff as well as the register_globals configuration
option.

Looking at the script below, there is nothing special about setting
$addjoke to 1.  It's just important that it is set to *something* (because
of the isset($addjoke) call.  You could set it to whatever you want, but
setting it to 1 is commonly done to indicate "trueness" or "it's on".

You could set it to "yes" if you wanted and the script would work the
same.

Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] php question - query string

[Lowell Allen]

Although you don't show it in your snippet of code, the script in question
starts with:

if (isset($addjoke)): // If the user wants to add a joke

So all he's doing is setting the variable $addjoke. It could have been set
to 2 or something else, although 1 kind of makes more sense because it's
associated with "true" (as 0 is associated with "false").
