Re: [PHP] Changing users in php script

[Nitin]

You can use 'sudoers' for the purpose, that way you'll be able to give just
that permission to the user of your choice. then you can connect as that
user through 'exec' or 'system' and can execute that comand.

For more information check out:

Uh... first, that's correct behaviour for %u

Second, you're trying to find the absolute value of an integer:

echo (abs(-86));

Third, how to explain the behaviour you're seeing. Um...

Binary numbers are made up of two symbols, right? 0 and 1.

There's no room in a binary computer for a third '-' symbol to denote
negative numbers, so you have to overload one of your existing symbols to
signify "negative".

Ok, lets work with 8-bit numbers to simplify things. An unsigned 8 bit
number can run from 0 to 255:

 = 0
0001 = 1
[...]
1110 = 254
 = 255

By convention, a signed 8-bit number sacrifices it's left-most column to
denote negative (1) or positive (0), so it can run from -127 to +127:

 = -127
1110 = -126
[...]
1001 = -1
 = 0
0001 = 1
[...]
0110 = 126
0111 = 127

Hope you're with me so far - signed numbers use the left-most column to
store the sign of the number. If the left-most column is 1, the number is
negative.

What you are doing with %u is forcing printf() to treat a signed number with
a leading 1 as if it was an unsigned number. Thus, an unsigned int

1001 = -1

would be interpreted as

1001 = 129

This stuff is very basic Computer Science.

[PHP] dynamic table problem

[irinchiang]

Hi all:
Having some problems right here. Below are a snip my codes:

 class="Devi" width="15%" align="center" 
valign="middle">2PE1012
.
.
.

Grey
Pink
Blue
Yellow
Cyan





What I am trying to do here is to create a table where I can change its cell
color by selecting the colors from the drop down menu.
The cell colour managed to change to the colour I want but whenever I open the
page on a new browser, the colour turned out to be a combination of all my
colours. How can I make it in the sense that this cell colour can be changed
permanently to the colour I want(even when I reopen this file using a new
browser) until I changed the colour again.
Futhermore, how can I store the colour code into the database(MySQL)???
Any special datatypes for that?

Hope to get some help.
Thanks.

Regards, 
Irin.

EDIT for windows is great, it's free, it's already installed and it
requires that you do no additional searching of manuals, archives, or
the web to use. Click Start->Run. Type command and hit enter. When the
command prompt arrives type 'edit' and hit enter. Voila! A windows
freeware editing too. You can even use it for batch files, PERL, ASP,

[PHP] Building associative arrays

[chris . neale]

I'm stuck.

I'm trying to build an associative array from a database result. How can I
assign a new key and value pair

eg

mysql_fetch_row etc
{
dbRowCol1 = myarray(key)
dbRowCol2 = myarray(value)
}

You get the general idea. Can't find any examples. I'm trying to lookup a
key and retrieve the corresponding value.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to

it may be because desc is a reserved word, put it in backticks `desc`

Re: [PHP] Creating Objects!

[Burhan Khalid]

Webmaster wrote:

let us say there is Class A.
In the constructor of this class I create an Object B of Class B.
Now what is the difference between these two ?

this->B = new B;

and

B = new B;
The "this" object always points to the current instance of an object. So 
whenever you refer to a variable with $this->, you are accessing the 
variable that is in the current object's memory space. Here is an example :

class a {

  var $foo;
  var $bar;
  function a()
  {
 $this->foo = "Hello ";
 $this->bar = "World";
 $foo = "Widgets";
  }
  function dump()
  {
 echo $this->foo.$this->bar;
  }
}
$obj = new a();
$obj->dump();
This above snippet will print "Hello World", because the $foo variable 
that is created in the constructor does not have object scope. In other 
words, $foo only exists in that function. You can verify this by using 
the print_r function thusly :

echo ""; print_r($obj); echo "";

To answer your original question, the difference between using $this-> 
and not is that with $this-> the variable referenced is one that exists 
in the object's scope.  If you want to create an instance of the object 
that you don't plan to use in other members of that class, then you can 
make it "local" to that member by omitting $this->

[PHP] How to read remote files

[Nitin]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem, hope to get some suggestios on the same.
Here it goes:

I've an application where I need to read an html file stored on user's pc through my 
PHP script and send an email to specified addresses. 

Problem is how to read a file on user's pc as I cann't allow them to upload any file 
to my server. My script will also detect any pictures attached and embed those to the 
message. 

Any suggestions are most welcome. Thanx in advance.

Ummm... NO. You can't just read a file on a user's computer. There is 
such a thing as security for most of us. :)

The user needs to upload it, ftp it, or run their own server to give you 
access to it.

[PHP] NEW: XML Application Objects

[Terence]

I've just released the first distribution for an open-source project 
called XML Application Objects (XAO). It's the result of working with 
XML/XSLT in PHP for a couple of years now. Although this is an alpha 
release, the concept itself has gone through a lot of refinement and is 
now ready for prime time.

The publication of the project itself was partially motivated by the 
discussions that took place in this thread (A Complete List of PHP 
Template Engines?) which basically sees me arguing for the usage of 
standards (XSLT) rather than having to learn a proprietary new 
templating system every time you work on someone elses PHP app.

This project is the result of much blood, sweat, and tears so I hope 
someone out there finds it useful. I have made documentation a paramount 
considderation for the XAO API because I'm keen for it to be another PHP 
success story. The website has a tonne of information so I'm not gonna 
try and promote XAO in this message.

Please check it out...

http://xao-php.sourceforge.net/

RE: [PHP] How to swap the table's bg color with php

[chris . neale]

Try using stylesheets instead of javascript. I think you need to use :hover
on either the td element and then specify a style. background-color I think
it is.

I haven't got my HTML reference handy and can't remember the specifics, but
that's the general idea.

Hope that's of some use.

You will need Javascript and CSS (and this is not a postlist for that).
If you are not familiar to both, this work can get tricky at first.

If you really want your table's field names returned as keys, try using

You'll have to write up some function in JavaScript that gets invoked on

Agreed, with one minor point.

If the users are on a network this would be possible, you would just
need to know the path to the file in question. There are several
hot-button issues with this, but we have found seveal ways to work and

XSLT is itself yet another language to learn. Albeit a standard, it is
much heavier than using simple XML tags or macros with PHP code.
personally I never cared much for XSLT, but I imagine that goes back to
my not liking LISP either -- which is a case of not liking functional
languages versus procedural languages.

[PHP] Committing OO Sin

[Gerard Samuel]

Or is there such a thing.  ;)
I have a small collection of utility classes, and it seems like the more 
I add,
the more cumbersome things seem to get.
A brief synopsis of code execution.
1.  Start DB class
2.  Start Smarty class, passing reference of DB class to Smarty
3.  When needed start Date-Time class
4.  When needed start Text-Format class, passing reference of Smarty 
class to Text-Format class,
which also has a reference to the DB class.  (Im using both within the 
Text-Format class)

Currently, I have a file of functions that handle user management, a 
possible candidate for a class.
If I were to convert it, it would go between steps 1 and 2, and would 
need a reference to the DB class.
Then the Smarty class is going to need a reference of the proposed user 
management class.
By that time, Smarty contains itself, a reference to the DB class, 
reference to the user management class which
in turn contains a reference to the DB class.
All these references, are beginning to worry me, to the point where Im 
second guessing myself, that
Im going about this the wrong way.
Making "utility" classes are somewhat straight forward, but getting them 
to work together,
seems like a pain.

So I was thinking, if a class was started in the global space, is it a sin,
to use the $GLOBALS array to access it, instead of tying in all these 
references??

Thanks for any input you may provide.

Perhaps I've been a little misunderstood. I love the whole open source
movement, I love that code can be shared, and I was happy to release my
own code as open source. I only have issues with the GPL, and licenses
like it, that seem to me to cause the developer to relinquish all
control of their work.

Cheers,
Rob.

I think reasons like your above are why people, quite often these days,
create frameworks. Frameworks are generally designed from the ground up
to provide the kind of interactions you are moving towards while at the
same time, loosely coupling the interactive pieces to provide
flexibility. With regards to the question of sin -- most books regard
them as dirty dirty little beasts. That said, the entire PHP philosophy
revolves around globals. In my opinion though, the internal globals used
by PHP are fine, but blatant creation by your own code is generally a
design flaw. There are times when it is useful to create a global, for
instance I encapsulate all of my framework's data via a single globals
variable ($GLOBALS['interJinn']). A purist might argue that this is bad;
however, the purist could not do any better since to create an object to
hold such data would still require an anchor point somewhere in the
global space. From this I think it follows that too many global
variables -- poor design. The occasional global variable -- good design
(notwithstanding other design issues :)

Cheers,
Rob.

The GPL tends to scare people who are not very familiar with open

***applause*** Well said!

(I wanted to say other stuff here, but I just couldn't say it well this
morning. I will say that there is no shame in profiting from commercial
use projects).
   

Perhaps I've been a little misunderstood. I love the whole open source
movement, I love that code can be shared, and I was happy to release my
own code as open source. I only have issues with the GPL, and licenses
like it, that seem to me to cause the developer to relinquish all
control of their work.
Cheers,

[PHP] Round a number

[Shaun]

Hi,

I have a query that returns a number from  culculation in my table. It
returns say 4.00, 8.75, 0.00, 12.50 etc. How format the number so that the
trailing zeros aer removed i.e. 4, 8.75, 0, 12.5 etc?

Thanks for your help

Something like this:

I had to build some cache tables, grouping 141852 records on the

Re: [PHP] NEW: XML Application Objects

[Raditha Dissanayake]

Hi Terence,

I am equally puzzled as to why people are using all sorts of crappy 
proprietory template systems instead of XSLT. It's particularly useful 
when dealing with WAP. I suspect the reason could well be the 
inconsistencies in compiling php with XSLT support. compiling the 
Sablatron module for perl on the other hand is a breeze and over the 
last year or so whenever i did anything with xslt it's always been with 
perl.

Can i contribute to your project?



Terence wrote:

I've just released the first distribution for an open-source project 
called XML Application Objects (XAO). It's the result of working with 
XML/XSLT in PHP for a couple of years now. Although this is an alpha

is now ready for prime time.

The publication of the project itself was partially motivated by the 
discussions that took place in this thread (A Complete List of PHP 
Template Engines?) which basically sees me arguing for the usage of 
standards (XSLT) rather than having to learn a proprietary new 
templating system every time you work on someone elses PHP app.

This project is the result of much blood, sweat, and tears so I hope 
someone out there finds it useful. I have made documentation a 
paramount considderation for the XAO API because I'm keen for it to be 
another PHP success story. The website has a tonne of information so 
I'm not gonna try and promote XAO in this message.

Please check it out...

Please give it a shot, it's real easy. far easier than any of the lame

XSLT is itself yet another language to learn. Albeit a standard, it is
much heavier than using simple XML tags or macros with PHP code.
personally I never cared much for XSLT, but I imagine that goes back to
my not liking LISP either -- which is a case of not liking functional
languages versus procedural languages.

I have used XSLT before and can't say I particularly liked it. I have my
own "lame" (as you put it ;) php templating system which I prefer much
more. Mind you, in all honesty, XSLT support can be plugged into my
templating engine if I wanted without any adaptation to the engine
itself.

[PHP] set the PHP to look at library files.

[Golawala, Moiz M (IndSys, GE Interlogix)]

Hi, 

I am running PHP with apache. I put all my webpages in the htdocs folder. A lot of my 
scripts use a bunch of open source libraries. Until now I have been including these 
libraries in my scripts by defining a full path to the library 'inc' files. If I put 
the library itself in my htdocs folder I can see it. However, I want to simply include 
the library by saying:

include ("xmlrpc.inc");

I don't want to put the absolute path in the include statement nor do I want to have 
the xmlrpc.inc file in the same directory as the script that needs it. Is there a some 
configuration setting in the php.ini file that I can set so that It always points to 
some path to look for the include files (It would be nice if the any thing below that 
path is also seen if I set the path. So if i set the path in the configuration to see 
/usr/home/ , even if i put something under /usr/home/install/.. I will be able to pick 
it up.) Thank in advance for any help.

[PHP] Cookies Vs Sessions...?

[Tristan . Pretty]

Age old question...?
Please don't flame if it is

I currently remember my visitors on my site by setting a cookie thusly:

setcookie("logged", "yes");

On each protected page, put an IF ($logged == "yes") { //show page etc } 
else {//show login form etc }

All good, works fine hooray for me...
BUT...

I'm aware that a slight increase in a users browsers security setting, and 
this doesn't work...
So... I've started to learn. sessions.

I have a few questions, that my texts books seem to pussy foot around, and 
I get no answer...
1. Can sessions work in the same way as my cookies? (Just remember a value 
to a variable, accross many page)
2. can seesions be set up to work accross browser sessions? (If I close my 
browser, will they work when I open a new one?)
3. I've seen on many web sites a 'remember me' checkbox. I'd love to learn 
how to do that, is that session related? what's the step in teh right 
direction to remembering that?

Any advise, or first rate turtorials are welcome...
Cheers,
Tris

I would suggest creating a path alias in your Apache httpd.conf file to recognize 
(i.e) /includes/ and redirect as needed.

Yes, they address the same challenge: persisting data.

Also, please realize that sessions can use cookies for identification. One of
the benefits of using sessions is that the session data is stored on the
server. This has some security benefits.

> 2. can seesions be set up to work accross browser sessions? (If I

Yes, however, this won't necessarily be automatic for you. As long as the
client identifies itself (via persistent cookie or URL variable) on the next
visit, and the session itself has not expired, you will resume the session.

> 3. I've seen on many web sites a 'remember me' checkbox. I'd love to
> learn how to do that, is that session related?

Yes, but it is usually more related to cookies. Many of these sites only set a
persistent cookie if you check this box, otherwise requiring you to login again
if you close your browser. What exactly is in this cookie depends on the site;
some sites may only store your username (so you still have to type in your
password again), while others store your session identifier (and hopefully some
information to deter impersonation), so that your session is automatically
resumed when you revisit.

For a general overview of cookies, you can read this free chapter:

http://shiflett.org/books/http-developers-handbook/chapters/11

Hope that helps.

While we're talking about "should", you should also never trust what the client

[PHP] PHP and .HTACCESS

[James D. Stallings]

I am new to learning PHP and have learned a lot over the last few weeks.  One 
thing that I can not find anywhere is how to code it so a user can click logoff 
and have it route them to another page and remove their authentication that was 
set.

ie... I user goes to www.mysite.com and clicks on a link called STAFF 
The STAFF.mysite.com is protected with authentication using .htaccess
The staff enters their ID and Password and is allowed in.
I want to have a button that says LOGOFFF that will remove the authentication 
I know how to do the header(location... to route them back to another page, but 
I have not been able to remove the authentication so it will ask them for their 
password again when they return to staff.mysite.com

I have even tried:

header('WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate');
header('WWW-Authenticate: NTLM', FALSE);

but no go...

Thanks in advance!!

HTTP authentication is not a very good tool for implementing sophisticated
access control. Though it is possible to simulate a log out, it is not very
straightforward (some would call it a hack), because there is no mechanism for
the server to instruct the browser to forget the authentication credentials.

So, I recommend using PHP sessions instead.

However, if you really want/need to use HTTP authentication, you can read this
page to get some other users' suggestions:

http://www.php.net/features.http-auth

Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] PHP and .HTACCESS

[Marek Kilimajer]

it is virtualy impossible to make the browser forget the credentials.

How this is solved is that the logoff link is
login.php?logoff=username
In login.php you check for $_GET['logoff'] variable, if it is set you 
will not let the user with the same name ($_GET['logoff']) log in.

for the past few months. Anyone know why this may be? Nothing in the my 
code has changed at all.

I did phpinfo() to check the server and it is running 4.2.2. I have a 
workaround for the time being, but it is very strange.

Why is getting the classes to work together a pain?

A little misleading about what Im feeling.
Im feeling that the more classes that I add the more cumbersome things get,
and at the rate Im going, I get the feeling my code will self destruct 
(figure of speech).
For example.  I have another class that handles comments.
This class currently takes the smarty class by reference, which contains 
the DB class by reference.
If I were to convert the user management file to a class,
then the comments class will also have to contain the user management 
class which contains,
a reference to the DB class.
The whole class paradim, just gets uglier and uglier in my case.
I have to stop and rethink about how to make classes work together better.
Robert Cummings made a suggestion to me in an earlier topic about 
singleton patterns,
and again, in this topic about frameworks (basically a design pattern 
from what I've been reading so far this past week).
Im just not sure how to proceed, and the thought occured to me to use 
$GLOBALS like
$GLOBALS['db']->Execute('some sql');
$GLOBALS['smarty']->fetch('that template');

Im going to have to invest in a book on frameworks (design patterns), as 
I can't see myself continuing down
the road Im presently on.

Im open to any suggestions on books.  Im currently reading up on 
articles at phppatterns.com, hopefully some of it
will sink in.

If I've got my basics right, the auth user and pass will be sent by the

The ones I tried were lame. Haven't studied your engine yet so i have

Hi,

Please give it a shot, it's real easy. far easier than any of the lame 
php template systems i have seen. The beauty is that the same XML/XSL

the list goes on and on.

Disclaimer: I have never written a single line of VB ,VC++  or C# code 
and don't intend to do so in the future.
   

I have used XSLT before and can't say I particularly liked it. I have my
own "lame" (as you put it ;) php templating system which I prefer much
more. Mind you, in all honesty, XSLT support can be plugged into my
templating engine if I wanted without any adaptation to the engine
itself.

XSLT is itself yet another language to learn. Albeit a standard, it is
much heavier than using simple XML tags or macros with PHP code.
personally I never cared much for XSLT, but I imagine that goes back to
my not liking LISP either -- which is a case of not liking functional

str_word_count is available since version 4.3. Check your setup, someone 
restarted webserver with wrong config directory specified.

I don't know of any good books for patterns. much of what I know I
learned in university and from experience. But to take your problem and
perhaps give you a window on how you can organize things I will try to
lay out a possible plan.

Known classes:

- User manager (um)
- db connection (dbc)
- smarty (smarty)
- comments (comments)

Relationships:

- um uses smarty, dbc
- smarty uses dbc
- comments uses um

Proposal:

- middle man (mm) it's almost imperative to have a middle man
  class that can return necessary instances of object (whether
  it be multiple instances or a singleton). In InterJinn this
  middle man class is the dynamic loader.

- database manager (dbm) to return database connections. This
  could be a pooling mechanism for a given connection so that
  you only ever return one connection. This has a problem
  though if you wish to do a query based on the results of
  another query without storing all the data from the first
  query. There really isn't much difference in processing time
  when using a pool and when returning a new connection.
  InterJinn uses a pool for the default MySQL database layer,
  but not for the Pear DB database layer. Pear DB may use
  its own pool, but that's not for the user of the class to
  care about (black box coding).

- dbc is a single connection, whether it be pooled or not. The
  only guarantee you should have is that it won't interfere with
  another query (if pooled then the dbm should only return the
  same connection if it has been freed.

- um should be a factory, you give it a userId, or name
  and it returns a user object which the appropriate methods to
  retrieve/store user information.

- user object (user). Singleton for a given user (don't want to
  update multiple copies of a single user object). The um can pool
  user objects according to user Id and return references when
  requested.

- I'm not sure why smarty has a reference to a database
  connection in your code (though I'm not greatly familiar with
  Smarty since I've only used it in conjunction with other
  people's code that was already using it). At any rate, unless
  you are extending the smarty class, then you should give it
  it's own database connection to use. if you wanted you could
  always create a smarty manager layer to retrieve smarty objects,
  but this probably isn't necessary for your own work.

- the connection object isn't used by anything, so it should just
  be a regular object.

For simplicity I'm going to assume I made all my management objects part
of the middle man class with a very simple interface:

lets say I have code that needs to display user stats, comments, and via
a smarty template. I might have the following:

getUser( $userId );

$comment = new Comment();
//
// Not sure what the purpose of comments are, so I'll just skip
// details.
//

$template = new Smarty();

$template->assign( 'USER_NAME',$user->getName() );
$template->assign( 'USER_ADDRESS', $user->getAddress() );
$template->assign( 'COMMENTS', $comment->getText( $userId ) );

$template->display( 'someTemplate.tpl' );

---
That's the bulk of the main page, now inside $mm->getUser()

have enter into a mysql data using php as 1967-09-12?  Because 
everything that is past from my form to mysql is not the way it was

[PHP] PHP as a Servlet in Tomcat

[David Erickson]

Hi I am wondering if anybody has successfully been able to run PHP in a
servlet only environment?  I am trying to setup php to run as a servlet
within tomcat on my win2k box and am having encredible difficulties.. here
are the specs and the problem.  Any suggestiongs extremely appreciated:

Jakarta Tomcat 4.1.24
JDK 1.4.1_03
PHP 4.3.4RC1 Win32 (tried 4.3.3 as well same problem)
Win2k

I followed the instructions to a T on installing php for servlet.. IE put
the phpsrvlt.jar file in the lib dir in tomcat, php4ts.dll in the
winnt\system32, php.ini in winnt with extensions_dir variable properly set,
and all extensions commented out.   If I uncomment the php_java.dll I get
warning messages when I try to hit a php file that say "Warning Function
registration failed - duplicate name - java_last_exception_clear" along with
a couple more.

After i clear those message windows this is what I get from tomcat the first
time I try to hit a test.php file:

HTTP Status 500 -



type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it
from fulfilling this request.

Then if I try and refresh to hit it again tomcat completely dies and it
crashes my jvm.
Here is the log trace:

Also, an option is to have that SQL field set as date.  With postgres, I 
can insert 09-12-1967 and the sql server auto converts it to 1967-09-12 
upon saving into date field.  However, another way is..

Re: [PHP] PHP as a Servlet in Tomcat

[Ray Hunter]

Try running php is from a servlet environment.  Basically in tomcat you
set up a servlet that handles your *.php files and calls the php
executable.  This is like php cgi so it can be slow.

Well both variables $userid and $userpassword are bounced off of a user
database table, if the username/password don't match then the session
variables are cleared with a  session_destroy() call.  Is that a good
enough validation?

[code begin]

session_start();
if(!isset($userid)) {
login_form();
exit;
}
else {
$_SESSION['userid'] = $userid;
$_SESSION['userpassword'] = $userpassword;
$username = auth_user($userid, $userpassword);
if(!$username) {
echo "user " . $userid . $userpassword . " Authorization
failed. " . 
 "You must enter a valid userid and password
combo. " .
 "Click on the following link to try
again.\n";
echo "login";
echo "If you do not have login, please contact
Operations to obtain one.\n";
session_destroy();
exit;
}
else echo "welcome, $username!";
echo gmmktime();
echo "Continue";
echo "Ticket";
}

function auth_user($userid, $userpassword) {

global $default_dbname, $user_tablename;

$link_id = db_connect($default_dbname);
$query = "SELECT username FROM $user_tablename WHERE userid =
'$userid' && userpassword = password('$userpassword')";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(!mysql_num_rows($result)) return 0;
else {
$stamp = gmmktime();
$query2 = "update $user_tablename set idle_time = $stamp
where userid = '$userid'";
$result2 = mysql_query($query2);

$query3 = "select CanEdit from $user_tablename where
userid = '$userid'";
$result3 = mysql_query($query3);
$query_data3 = mysql_fetch_row($result3);
$_SESSION['CanEdit'] = $query_data3[0];

$query_data=mysql_fetch_row($result);
return $query_data[0];
}
}

[PHP] File Download

[Grant Rutherford]

Hi there,

I would like to send an arbitrary file to a user.  This file will be on 
the server in the PHP directory.  I will also want to rename it before 
it is sent, but keep the old file with the old filename.

Any help is appreciated...
Thanks,

There is no way to set SMTP authentication using the mail() function.

You may want to use this class that comes with a wrapper function named 
smtp_mail() that works exactly like the mail() function but lets you 
configure certain SMTP delivery details such as authentication credentials:

You will also need this:

Yes, as long as you realize that you have now shifted the trust to those values
in the database. As long as there is no way for a user to inject malicious code
during the registration process (or however the username and password end up in
the database), then that part should be fine.

Hope that helps.

[Curt Zirzow]

* Thus wrote Ms Carlsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

Dir size is  rather vague. Are you wanting how many items are in
the dir? or how many bytes is allocated for it? or how many bytes
are actually used in the dir? What is the total sum of all the
files space used inside the dir? and does that include the
sub directories sizes?

[PHP] User Authentication Continued....

[Jeff McKeon]

Ok,

I've got the user authentication thing down and now I'm continuing to
build my trouble ticket tracking system.

So from a "customer profile" page there is a link to "Open Ticket" which
brings up a page to open a trouble ticket.  

[html code]
HREF=./open_ticket.php?custid=$custid&custname=$custname
[html code]

The user is validated for permissions and timeout based on the $_SESSION
variables established before the "open ticket"" page is loaded.

I then have a form that they fill in with the minimum info to create a
new ticket.  Some info is passed to the open ticket page from the
customer profile page via a GET method and enterred into hidden form
fields. 

[html code]
HREF=./open_ticket.php?custid=$custid&custname=$custname
[html code]

On the "open ticket" page I have 2 functions, the first is a form for
entering in the ticket info, the second is a function to take the
information and update the database with it when the form is submitted,
then reload the page with a display of the ticket info.

The problem I'm having is with the $_GET variables.  I guess I'm not
declaring them correctly.  Do I need to set them as soon as the page
loads, and outside of any functions like so..

[code start]
$custid = $_GET['custid'];
$custname = $_GET['custname'];
[code end]

Or do I need to declare them in each funtion?

[code start]
Function blah(){
global $custname, $custid;

$custid = $_GET['custid'];
$custname = $_GET['custname'];
DO SOME STUFF
}

Function foo(){
global $custname, $custid;

$custid = $_GET['custid'];
$custname = $_GET['custname'];
DO SOME STUFF
}
[code end]

Or am I way off and there is another way of doing it?

Also I've noticed that when I do an mysql_query("select name from foo
where name='$somevariable'") I cannot use $_GET['somevariable'] or
$_POST['somevariable'] in the sql string, I find I need to do a $name =
$_GET['somevariable'] first and then use $name.  Why is this?

Thanks,

Jeff

Re: [PHP] User Authentication Continued....

I guess you would either need to make the vars global or else keep 
redeclaring them.  Obviously, redeclaring them in each function 
$var=$_GET["whatever"] is technically the more secure method.

Re: [PHP] dir size

[Nathan Taylor]

Hey, I think I mis-understood you and my first version didn't do what you want, so I 
added what you needed.

 0) {
   $open2 = opendir($directory);
   while($folders = readdir($open2)) {
$folder = $directory."/".$folders;
if($folders == ".." || $folders == ".") continue;
if(is_dir($folder)) {
 echo DirStat($folder);
}
   }
   closedir($open2);
  }
  closedir($open);
 }
}

function ByteSize($bytes) {
  $size = $bytes / 1024;
  if($size < 1024){
   $size = number_format($size, 2);
   $size .= "kb";
  } else {
   if($size / 1024 < 1024) {
$size = number_format($size / 1024, 2);
$size .= "mb";
   } else {
$size = number_format($size / 1024 / 1024, 2);
$size .= "gb";
   }
  }
  return $size;
 }

$dir = getcwd();
DirStat("tmp", 0);
chdir($dir);

$FolderSize = ByteParse($FolderSize);

echo $FileCount;
echo "\n";
echo $FolderSize;

?>


The DirStat() function is almost unchanged except that it now passes out the byte size 
of the directories read. I also threw in a chdir() to get you back to your working 
directory. The major addition here is the ByteSize() function.  That function takes 
the integer which is your total size of the directory and converts it into a nice 
formatted number either in kb, mb, or gb accordingly.  You'll find it uses true file 
size as well, not "industry standard" sizing.

Enjoy,
Nathan Taylor

$_GET is a superglobal, which just means that it is always available
everywhere. If you assign $custname to $_GET['custname'], you now have a
regular global variable (if the assignment is done outside a function) or a
local variable (if the assignment is done within a function).

So, either just use $_GET['custname'] everywhere you need it, or work with the
variable scope like you would have to if it was anything else. For example:

1. $foo = $_GET['foo'];
2. $foo = 'bar';

The variable scope of $foo would be the same, regardless of which of those
assignments were made.

Hope that helps.

[PHP] How to center image in PDF (fpdf) using Image() in PHP....

[Scott Fletcher]

Hi!

I tried out the Free PDF Library for creating the PDF at www.fpdf.org
and it showed the php function, Image() and I read the documentation on this
Image() on what paramenters are being used inside this function but what I
found instead is that the X,Y coordinate is specified only from the
upper-left corner.  So, the question is how do I know what is the total
width of a page in PDF, so I can whip up a php code to give me the center
code of an image and enter it into the Image() function.

The document showed...

--snip--
Image(string file, float x, float y, float w [, float h [, string type [,
mixed link]]])
--snip--

Thanks...

You would be *far* better off asking on the FPDF forum.
