I doubt PHP will have anything to do with it... My guess is there MUST be some form of automation/macro tool available on Windows or Linux, which enables you to load a URL in a browser, and take a screen shot. I get the feeling it could also be done with AppleScript on the Mac. Afterall, PHP, Perl, etc aren't a browser. But it's possible that PHP can trigger a command-line program to do the above.

[PHP] MSSQL Stored procedure return values
Hi,
I'm doing a small project at work with php, ms sql server on w2k IIS5.
All the data access is done through stored procedures. This seems to
be working fine, the record sets are returned and the stored
procedures execute without error however I can't get any return
values from them.
For example I have the following php code:
// setup stored procedure
$sp = mssql_init("spGetReseller", $conObj);
mssql_bind($sp, "@ResellerID", $loginID, SQLINT4, FALSE);
mssql_bind($sp, "@ReturnCode", &$retVal, SQLINT4, TRUE);
$rs = mssql_execute($sp);
So the @ReturnCode variable is defined as OUTPUT in the SP and I am
passing in $retVal by reference. This is my stored procedure.
ALTER PROCEDURE spGetReseller
@ResellerID int
, @ReturnCode int OUTPUT
AS
SELECT Something
FROM SomeTable
WHERE SomeField = 1
-- set return code
IF @@ROWCOUNT > 0
SET @ReturnCode = 0
ELSE
SET @ReturnCode = 1
This should set the returncode to be 1 if there are no rows returned.
However no matter what, it will never get this returncode from the
stored procedure. (ie $retVal will not be changed by the mssql_bind
function) I ran the stored procedure and the @returnCode variable is
set correctly there so that isn't the problem.
Does anyone know what could be the problem there? I guess I could
return @ReturnCode in the recordset but that would be kinda hokey.
Thanks,
Leo

:) I think if You use go_planet($choice), the problem will still remain,
bacause that "big switch" should reside in go_planet() func, so we come to
the start of the problem. (of course if we should take different actions
depending on the choice).
I think the one way is like described in upper message, to use variable
names of functions. Ok, that's nice, but I personally wouldnt use this as it
is very language specific (of course we could regard it like pointers to
funcs in C :)), and I think doing many such tricks of this increases the
complexity of your code and so on.
I'd use OO principals for that, making an object for each planet, and each
shoud have a method like go_planet() for THIS particular planet, as they all
this objects would inplement the interface with the same method (of course u
may not do that inheritance in PHP explicitely), So u'd have smth like this:
$response = array(
> > "mars" => object, //mars object
> > "mercury" => object, //mercury object
> > "earth" => " object, //earthobject
and if your choice is "mars", u'd call $response['mars']->go_planet();
Its a known OO principal for avoiding switch'es and if's, and PHP is a nice
OO style language, so doing in OO like this should give valuable practice
for migrating to any other "real" OO language.
Sorry, if wrong,
Mark.

Hi,
I don't believe you can create a regular expression to look for something
that's NOT there.
I'd take this approach (tested with drawbacks, see below):
function check_tags($text) {
$suspect_tags = "b|i|u|strong|em|font|a|ol|ul|blockquote";
$re_find = '/<\s*(' . $suspect_tags . ').*?>(.*)/is';
while (preg_match($re_find,$text,$matches)) {
// a suspect tag was found, check if closed
$suspect = $matches[1];
$text = $matches[2];
$re_close = '/<\s*\/\s*' . $suspect . '\s*?>(.*)/is';
if (preg_match($re_close, $text, $matches)) {
// fine, found matching closer, continue loop
$text = $matches[1];
}
else {
// not closed - return to report it
return $suspect;
}
}
return null;
}
$text = << an
unclosed suspect tag.
EOT;
$tag = check_tags($text);
if ($tag) echo "Unmatched: \"$tag\"\n";
else echo "Perfect!\n";
The drawbacks: This approach is softly targeted at unintended typos, such
as in the example text. It won't catch deliberate attacks, such as
Blindtext http://www.vogelsinger.at/

[PHP] Problem with Arrays?
I ran into something interesting & the only thing I can figure out is that
functions won't use any variables other than globals, those past to the
function, or those created inside the function?
here's what I had that didn't print anything other than 3 blank lines for
this section of code -
$byteSize[0] = "bytes";
$byteSize[1] = "kb";
$byteSize[2] = "mb";
function getMaxSize( $maxSize )
{
echo $byteSize[0] . "\n";
echo $byteSize[1] . "\n";
echo $byteSize[2] . "\n";
}
but, if I put the array inside the function it would actually work -
function getMaxSize( $maxSize )
{
$byteSize[0] = "bytes";
$byteSize[1] = "kb";
$byteSize[2] = "mb";
echo $byteSize[0] . "\n";
echo $byteSize[1] . "\n";
echo $byteSize[2] . "\n";
}
what's up with this? Maybe I'm just up way to late again.

[snip]
if you declare $bytesize global within the function it will work:
function getMaxSize( $maxSize )
{
global $bytesize;
echo $byteSize[0] . "\n";
}
You'd be still better off passing the array as variable:
function getMaxSize( $bytesize, $maxSize )
{
echo $byteSize[0] . "\n";
}
And lastly, for performance issues, pass it as a reference:
function getMaxSize( &$bytesize, $maxSize )
{
echo $byteSize[0] . "\n";
}
Without a reference, the array is copied to the function. By passing a
reference the function is working on the original array, no copy overhead.
Note: When passed as reference, any modification on the array within the
function will effect the original array (same is true if declared global).
Without reference the original array remains unchanged.

Could anyone please shed some light on the following issue?
I have a problem with including a "test.php" into a "test.shtml" and passing
a variable to the "test.shtml" which should be available and processed in
the "test.php"
the "test.php" document includes the following:
---
";
}
?>
the "test.shtml" document includes the following:
-
poll
I've also tried using the POST method but I got an error stating that post
is not a valid method in shtml.
I have also considered a session variable but since a session needs to
initiated or continued before anything is output to the browser that wont
work (I think).
does anyone have a solution to get this to work?
thanks,
Hans

Not absolutely sure what you're asking for, but I think you want
myscript.php to redirect to destination.html?
You need a Location header.
header("Location: http://www.site.com/destination.html";);
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
Note: headers have to be set /before/ any other text is sent, including
blank lines. If this is impossible, use output buffering :

[PHP] how fast is Vulcan Logic SRM and unix sockets
Hi, The question is mainly for the developers of SRM, but I'm sure there are others who use it. I'm implementing a caching method where cached data is stored in hashes. Now it works with file storage, files' names are the keys and the values are stored in within the files. I'm considering making this cache to work with SRM, storing it's key->value pairs in associative arrays. What do you think, would it caouse reasonable speed improvement? Are unix sockets that much faster than using the file system? I have very sort of time installing/implementing this, and have many things to do yet, that's why I'm asking instead of trying it out, hope someone has experience/opinion on this topic.

if "gender" is left empty when submitting the form this will still trigger
a different warning (unknown index, or something like that).
if (array_key_exists('gender', $_POST))
$gender = $_POST['gender'];
else $gender = null;
Being paranoid you might even check if $_POST is available:
if (is_array($_POST))

RE: [PHP] dynamic website screenshot/screen capture
My company researched on the topic sometime back. We even did a test run (on our local machines where there are no user restrictions set). The machine running this will need IE 5.x or above and another software (um... forgot its name) that uses this IE engine to capture whatever IE see into an .jpg file. We then copy this jpeg file and generate thumbnails using the GD library. Since we tried this only on our local machines, we are not sure if we would be able to install a third party software on a server (unless it was dedicated). Anyways this was just done in some free time, so we never really pursued the matter any further. - Sid > -Original Message- > From: olinux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2003 12:25 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] dynamic website screenshot/screen capture > > Hi all - > While I know that this is not possible with PHP alone, > Does anyone know how to capture website screen shots > using PHP.

The 16895 is in decimal. Use decoct() to convert it to octal and drop
the leading digit (which seems to be 4 for directories):
$statInfo = stat('./testDir');
$dirMode = substr(decoct($statInfo['mode']), 1);

[PHP] Sitewide Header & Footer Includes || Trouble with Relative Paths..........
Hey All. Got a perhaps easy question here: How can I create a global header and footer include to my site pages where I don't rely on absolute paths to include and image files? I'm having trouble including my header and footer .inc's within a multi-level directory structure -- the relative paths to images (and to includes within includes) are not currently accessed within the current directory structure. I'm assuming I'll need to prepend all image and include files with a path variable that I set within each page, or something along those lines?

[PHP] Displaying images
Greetings, All,
I'm a newbe to php and am trying to develop a routine to display artwork on
my wife's site. I want to load from a flat file information about the
artwork and image file names of the pieces. Then using the image file name,
I want to display the image to the browser. I've figured out how to load
the data from the file, but I could only find ("PHP and MySQL Web
Development", Welling & Thomson) two functions to display the images:
ImageCreateFromxxx or Imagexxx. Neither one works. In fact, Dreamweaver MX
doesn't even show them as valid php functions.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

RE: [PHP] Displaying images
Robert,
The image functions do indeed work, check the PHP docs for more info:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php
However, your server must have the GD libraries installed and PHP must be
properly configured. The docs should be a good starting point if nothing
else.

I had the same problem. This is due to bad documentation I think. Just
ImageCreateFromxxx to imagecreatefromxxx and DW MX will show it as a

When you call file.php, all includes and any nested includes are relative to the directory that file.php is in. That means if you include a file called subdir/file2.php and it attempts to include something, it's going to start looking for it in the same directory as file.php. No way around that. What's your fear of absolute paths? I always set two variables, the absolute path of my files and the web address. $_CONF['path'] = '/home/me/www/program'; $_CONF['html'] = 'http://www.domain.com/program'; for example. Then do all of your paths based off of those. If you don't want to do that, then you can probably play around with $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and basename() and the like to do what you want. ---John W.

Yeah, I think so, but it'd be worth the effort to just learn cron. You can use set_time_limit() to zero and run your loop and do your stuff. Not sure how that is for performance, though... ---John W.

Re: [PHP] Displaying images
Robert,
I am fairly new to php as well, but I think I may be able to help.
Unless you need to modify the images when you display them, you
should be able to just use html to display them as thus:
--Start Code Here
/* These variables would be filled in by the information you have
from your flat file */
$img_loc_filename = "032902.jpg";
$img_width = 300;
$img_height = 200;
$img_description = "Description Here";
echo "";
--End Code Here
Or something along those line

I do this at the top of my scripts
ini_set ("include_path",'path/to/inc/dir:'.ini_get("include_path"));
that way you just do include('file.inc') from anywhere and it will find your
files.

Re: [PHP] Sitewide Header & Footer Includes || Trouble with Relative Paths..........
Hey John. Do you ever sleep? You've got a zillion posts in this news group.. To answer your question, it's not that I'm afraid of absolute paths, it's that I don't properly understand how to implement them. I understand why the path references are not working when I move beyond the root level directory, but getting the file reference to work beyond the root is the tricky part for me. For example, with $_CONF['path'] = '/home/me/www/program'; set in my global_vars.inc how will I reference my image files? As $path.image_file_name? Could you provide an image file reference code snippet? Let me know. Thanks, --Noah - Original Message - From: "John W.

Hmm
Sounds like a good idea, but we've got quite a few includes in our site, not
to mention variable image paths (i.e. images/headers, images/groups, etc.)
Seems like a lot of work to create & maintain this config file + load the

[PHP] Question about replacing \r\n with
I can't find a way to replace \r\n codes with in a text file.
I'm reading a text file that was prepared with windows notepad
The hex code shows OD OA for CR/LF as I expect.
I'd like to replace the OD/LF with s.
I spent hours trying every User Notes in the PHP Manual for this simple
operation. e.g.,
$txt= preg_replace("\r\n", "", $words);
and this version
$txt = preg_replace("/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/","", $txt);
I can substitute other characters and dec equivalents and the
substations just won't work for \r\n [or just \r or just \n] or "\015"
or "\15".
And, I've tried using "10" and "010" and "13" and "013".
And nl2br doesn't work either.
Can anyone help?

[PHP] rewrite rule help anyone?
Slightly off topic, but I have some PHP also ;-)
I am trying to make search engine friendly URLs for a site, but want this to
be fairly dynamic and work with any new script and vars.
If anyone would be willing, I need help on a mod_rewrite rule or rules? I'm
thinking it should be fairly simple, but I know nothing about reg
expressions. Maybe not the greatest, but here's the code that generates the
HTML with altered URLs. This works great, but then I need Apache to rewrite
these.

index.php?file=test&cmd=display&what=all
---Becomes:
index-get-file-is-test+cmd-is-display+what-is-all.html
--Here's the code:
ob_start();
echo $htmlpage;
$newdisplay = ob_get_contents();
ob_clean_flush();
echo rewrite($newdisplay);
function rewrite($newdisplay)
{
$search = array(
".php?", ".php", "=", "&", "&");
$replace = array(
"-get-", "", "-is-", "+", "+");
$hrefs = find_hrefs($newdisplay);
$tmphrefs = str_replace($search, $replace, $hrefs);
foreach($tmphrefs as $key => $array) {
$newhrefs[$key] = $array.".html";
}
$newdisplay = str_replace($hrefs, $newhrefs, $newdisplay);
return $newdisplay;
}
//finds href=" in the string containing the html
function find_hrefs($tmpcontent)
{
while($start = strpos($tmpcontent, 'href="', $end)) {
$start = $start +6;
$end = strpos($tmpcontent, '"', $start);
$href[] = substr($tmpcontent, $start, $end - $start);
}
return $href;
}

Re: [PHP] Sitewide Header & Footer Includes || Trouble with Relative Paths..........
Don't have access to php.ini -- we're in a shared hosting environment... I can make it work with $my_include_path = $DOCUMENT_ROOT . "includes/file.inc"; Then I just prepend include files with $my_include_path. A little more work, but better than chucking all my files in the root directory as I've been doing.. The .htaccess idea is another option, but it looks like apache.org doesn't view setting the include path in .htaccess as particularly efficient (something about apache crawling from top to bottom through the directory tree to find the default include directory) -- I don't know, the $DOCUMENT_ROOT method does the trick for now Feel free to chime in anyone who has a better solution, --Noah - Original Message - From: "Robert Cummings" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF High" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2003 1:22 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Sitewide Header & Footer Includes || Trouble with Relative Paths.. > I don't know if it helps... but you should take a look at the ini_set() > function.

RE: [PHP] preg_match question: locating unmatched HTML tags
Ernest,
Thanks very much. This is pretty close to what I'm looking for. The only
problem is that it doesn't catch nested tags. For example, "some text
some text some text" makes it through without error since, I
think, preg_match resumes matching at the after spotting and then
checking its first match, at .

Okay, say my program is installed in /home/user/john/www/subdir/ and I call it from the web with http://www.mydomain.com/subdir. I define two variables: $_CONF['path'] = '/home/user/john/www/subdir'; //filesystem path $_CONF['html'] = 'http://www.mydomain.com/subdir'; //web path Now, to include a file, you'd use: include($_CONF['path'].'/include.php'); to include from another subdirectory: include($_CONF['path'].'/directory/functions.php'); Now, say I'm within functions.php and want to include a file that's somewhere else. You're providing an absolute path, so it's not a big deal. Include($_CONF['path'].'/anotherdir/classes.php'); Now, to include an image tag in your HTML, you'd use: Or, if all of your images are always in the same directory, you can define a $_CONF['images'] = 'http://www.mydomain.com/images'; and use Hope that helps.

RE: [PHP] preg_match question: locating unmatched HTML tags
Well, like someone else said, it's hard to look for and match stuff that isn't there. In addition to the security benefit, it's just easier to code something that looks for [b](.*)[/b] and replaces those tags with and (or and if you want to be technically correct). Honestly, if you've got a small group of people like you say then just teach them HTML so they don't make mistakes like this. Or provide a "preview" mode so they can double check their work. ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.

RE: [PHP] preg_match question: locating unmatched HTML tags
Good point, and I might end up doing just that if I can't find a solution.

[PHP] upgrade to 4.3.0 nearly doubled execution time
I upgraded my development system from PHP 4.1.2 to PHP 4.3.0 last week and the performance of my scripts took a dive. Specifically, the average time to parse my scripts (time from executing first line of code to executing first line after includes) went from about 100ms to about 200ms, and, very oddly, my times to connect to an Oracle database also went up by about the same margin. Switching back to 4.1.2 clears the problem back up. What changed between 4.1.2 and 4.3.0 that could cause this? File IO stuff perhaps? Any ideas to solve it?

[PHP] Select Field Form Value
Hello:
Here is my problem. I am using the following two lines to get multiple
values from a form field select statement.
while (list($key,$val) = each($_POST[Restrictions])) {$Restrictions .=
"$val,";}
Restrictions$Restrictions
The problem is when it fills out the table, it adds "Array" prior to the
values. Is there an easy way to strip that out?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,

Re: [PHP] upgrade to 4.3.0 nearly doubled execution time
I'm betting this is related... I upgraded to 4.3.0 on my production linux servers and began to have serious socket connection issues. Rolling back to 4.2.3 cleared everything up. I also saw an increase in script execution times with 4.3.0, which became much better using 4.2.3. I noticed some very strange behavior which leads me to believe 4.3.0 is not stable, and shouldn't be used in a production environment. So, all I can suggest for now is to determine what it is you need, and if a newer version of PHP will suit, go for it. But stay away from 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 (which I've read up on and hasn't addressed any of these issues).

Is register globals on? If so, if you tried to echo $Restrictions, it's
just print "Array". Since you're using .=, it's going to tack on the
values after the "Array". The solution, rather, the best solution, is to
turn off register globals. Another option is to use a different variable
name than $Restrictions or unset() it before you start adding text to
it.

[PHP] flashing text possible on PDA?
Hello friends. I am developing some light pages on the web basically for access by PDAs. I need to put and alert for some members so that as soon as they log in, the next page will show a flashing alert on the page.

[PHP] Writing to COM-Port with PHP 4.3.0 on OS/2 with Apache 2.0.44
Hi,
how can I write to a COM-Port on OS/2 using PHP 4.3.0 with Apache 2.0.44?
With
$fp = fopen ("COM1", "w+");
$string = chr($OutCmd) . chr($Platine) . chr($OutData) . chr($OutPruef);
fputs ($fp, $string );
fclose ($fp);
it seems not to work ($fp returns "Resource id #2"), and
$fp = fopen ("COM1:", "w+");
...
..
.
creates an error: "Warning: fopen(COM1:) [function.fopen]: failed to
create stream: No such file or directory in x:\htdocs\test.php on line
3" :-(
The same functionality with Rexx is working!

Re: [PHP] upgrade to 4.3.0 nearly doubled execution time
Yes, I have noticed some performance issues as well, but we need to nail it down better before we can start really going after this. Could we call on the collective masses of php-general users to run some benchmark tests? Just build yourselves a libphp4.so for both 4.2.x and 4.3.x and switch the LoadModule line back and forth to benchmark the two versions. Then use something like http_load (http://www.acme.com/software/http_load/) to check various simple scripts. We need to figure out if this is an across-the-board performance problem or if it is one particular aspect which has slowed down. -Rasmus On Sat, 22 Feb 2003, Jason k Larson wrote: > I'm betting this is related... > > I upgraded to 4.3.0 on my production linux servers and began to have > serious socket connection issues.
