mssql_fetch_row() only gets *one* row. To get the rest use something like a 
while-loop. For examples refer to the similar mysql_* functions.

[snip]

I have a "best practice" question related to this thread. I usually store
data in MySQL without any translation, then use htmlspecialchars() before
displaying as HTML. This works well for a content management system where
administrators are entering data in forms and storing, but perhaps it's not
appropriate for storing information from website visitors. If that
information should be translated before storing, then I'd have some stuff
that needs htmlspecialchars() applied before displaying, and some stuff that
does not.

My question is, are there any disadvantages to always following the
procedure described below?

- Use htmlentities() on everything before storing in the database
- Retrieve and display in cms forms without any translation
- Retrieve and translate mnemonic codes (like [b] [eb] to 
) before displaying as HTML
- Retrieve and use html_entity_decode() if needed for non-HTML use (like for
plain text email), or if I actually *WANT* to use stored HTML code (like for
HTML-formatted email)

TIA

If you're going to be storing it in the DB then there's no need to write to a 
file first. Use the output buffer controls (manual > Output Control 
Functions) to capture the output of imagejpeg($image) and insert into the DB 
(after appropriate sanitation).

[PHP] Re: Delete Temporary Internet Files

[Kim Steinhaug]

Hmm..

This shouldnt be a problem from what I know. Though it woldt be a perfect
system,

all you would need to do, is have a script that does :

1: Read the IE cache directory and puts all the entries into an array (all
the files),
2: unlink all the files in the array.

This would in my opinion work nice, except that alot of the files you cant
delete
at a given time, just try doing it manually. But itll clean the most. I
wouldnt recommend
this way of doing it, but it should work.

As for other files on the windows system, just be sure that hey arnt write
protected, as
PHP cant unlink / delete them then.

I think there's some double standards here :-)

It seems to be generally acceptable to have PHP-related product announcements 
on the list.

The honest truth Bas, if you're reading this, is that announcements for 
heavyweight, respected products are OK on this list. For products like 
portalBT (and BTML), I don't think many (any?) people are interested.

Mark - After the mysql_query($query); line add the following line

echo mysql_error();

run the script and try to add something again, if there is an error, it 
will tell you via mysql_error(); echo it out to the browser, and get

do the same with the variable $query - insert a line

echo $query

into your code just before the query execution and check carefully the query

[PHP] OOP clarification: Messages between objects

[Robert Ian Smit]

I am trying to implement a generic form handler that is capable of
printing the form and checking the user input.

I want this application to be useful in the end, but I also use it
to explore OOP in PHP.

The working code at the moment is able to add HTML input elements to
the page. These fields are all objects that get added to the Form
object. When the user submits, the Form object tells all elements to
check their input and create error messages if needed.

So far so good. One of the intended applications is to store
addresses submitted by visitors to our website. We have users from
two countries, with two different zip-code systems.

I could ofcourse create a double check in the zipcode-object, but
this would mean that it would be possible to submit a zipcode from
the other country without any objection by the application.

I'd like the zipcode object to ask a question to find out what
country we're dealing with and then apply the check of the input
depending on the answer.

Although these questions are specific to my application, I guess my
real question is more general. When you have a containerobject that
stores different kinds of elements, how do you give the elements the
ability to learn about their surroundings so they can alter their
behaviour? 

I know have:

$foo = new Form();
$foo->addToForm(new Element('country'));
$foo->addToForm(new Element('zipcode'));
$foo->processForm();


I hope I made clear what it is I am trying to do. Hopefully I'll
receive a few hints to help me on my way.

Thanks,
Bob

Have you:

1) Turned on full error reporting?
2) Checked that (i) you're not running in safe_mode, or (ii) if you are, that 
you are allowed to access those executables?
3) Confirmed that the left side of the pipe is working and giving the expected 
output?
4) Tried giving the full path to grep?

If you're still having trouble with it you can try sticking the above into a 
little shell script and shell_exec() the shell script instead.

Neither auto-increment nor sequences allow you to do what you're asking for

(the best way I can think of would be to iterate over all table rows and
look for "gaps" in the table, and for each gap take the record with the
highest ID and change the ID to fill the gap, then update all replys to
match the new ID, after everything is finished reset the sequence to the
highest id in the modified table and you're done).
I would not care about removing old posts. Good archive is always good :)

I don't know what you mean that your database could get huge, in my 
understanding that means millions of post per week.

Note from the MySQL manual for you auto_increment fans out there:

Posted by Jim Martin on Tuesday October 1 2002, @11:57am  

Just in case there's any question, the
AUTO_INCREMENT field /DOES NOT WRAP/. Once you
hit the limit for the field size, INSERTs generate
an error. (As per Jeremy Cole)
That is I will be able to insert only 4294967295 rows if the 
auto_increment is UNSIGNED INT. :( I guess I'll start to use UNSIGNED 
BIGINT, that will give me 18446744073709551615 rows, that ought to be 
enough for anybody. ;)

[PHP] PHP5 interfaces

[William Bailey]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi all,

I am currently starting a new personal project and thought that i would
start to implement it in PHP5. Now the new object model in PHP5 is
really nice and haveing objects bassed by reference by default saves a
lot of head aches :)
My question however probably comes from my lack of OO understanding.
Lets say i have the following class:
Final class Statistic {
~function __construct ($min, $max, $initValue=0) {
~}
~public function setValue ($value, $strict = false) {
~}
~public function applyDelta ($delta, $strict = false) {
~}
~public function getValue () {
~}
}
I want to implement some kind of onChange function and from what  i can
see that i have 2 options:
1. Create an OnChange object and make Statistic a child class.
2. Create an OnCHange interface and make Statistic implement it.
The problem is that nither are fully what i'm after. I want to be able
to use the onChange functionality on a number of other classes (all
implemented in the same way) and i also want to create a few other
onBlah functions that i also want to apply to objects along side if
required the onChange functionality.
So from this i can see that an interface would be the best way to go as
a class can implement any number of interfaces but can only be extend
from one parent. However using the example given all the onChange
functions for each object function exactly the same and will therefore
give me a lot of repeated code.
Is there any way to get around this. Something like an interface with a
fully defined function is what i'm really after.
The onChange function is currently...

~public function onChange ($object=null, $method=null) {
~if($object == null){
~$method = null;
~}
~if($object != null && !is_object($object)){
~$this->onChange();
~}else{
~$this->onChangeObject = $object;
~$this->onChangeMethod = $method;
~}

Using the EXEC command and parsing the output from this, it should be
possible given
the fact that your internal network has opened up for filesharing, and U are
running
win2000, you then have access to the tools that hackers love to use, but in
Ur case solves
the problem. By issuing this command into EXEC and pulling the output, and
the IP is
the name of the machine your locating, youll get what U want.

nbtstat -a 1.2.3.4

This will tell you the share names of that computer, and you will be able to
know the
names of the shared drives to access. This would have to be done to all the
IPs in
order to gain access to all the shares.

After this you have to parse each line from the output, and look for the
<20> folders,
which indicate an open share. Be aware that you should not open for this
type of
networking outbound to the internet, as hackers easilly can access your
machines as well.
I preferr installing 2 network cards in the machine, one for local network
and 1 for internet,
where the internet network card is blocked for NETBIOS over TCP/IP, and the
local
network connection is opened. If U only have 1 network card in each machine,
I suggest
U get a router with hardware firewall, where U insert the internet
connection directly into the
router, this will prevent NETBIOS over TCP/IP from the Internet.

Re: [PHP] Help with scripts to add records to a database

[Kim Steinhaug]

Important to mention, that the reason why the

$variable

probably doesnt work is that your service provider
has turned off the globals. In this case you would need,
as Zhuravlev mentions, use $_POST["variable"] to
insert the records. All in all, since the factory setting in
the new versions of PHP are Globals off, using POST
and GET is much better practise, so just start using it, :)

And ofcourse :
If U are using GET method in your form, then you use
the $_GET["variable"] instead.

You probably also know, that the way U are writing your
code isnt very handy in the long run, if you alter your
database you will need to recode all the pages that inserts
anything. You probably know the names of your table, so
I would recommend you do this instead :

Say the table is like this, and to quicken my typing I
assume globals is on, :)

id
first
last
phone

You would write :
insert into contacts values ('','$first','$last','$phpne');

You should write this :
insert into contacts (first,last,phone) VALUES ('$first','$last','$phone');

WHY?
If you alter your table, insert a new row or remove
one, your example will fail mySQL and result in an
error since the query doesnt match the table. In my
example it will have no difference, aslong as first,last
and phone are still in the table. The autoincrement
value will still be updated as intended, aslong as the
table is correctly formatted (and it is, since your first
example works).

[PHP] PHP5 interfaces

[William Bailey]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi all,

I am currently starting a new personal project and thought that i would
start to implement it in PHP5. Now the new object model in PHP5 is
really nice and haveing objects bassed by reference by default saves a
lot of head aches :)
My question however probably comes from my lack of OO understanding.
Lets say i have the following class:
Final class Statistic {
~function __construct ($min, $max, $initValue=0) {
~}
~public function setValue ($value, $strict = false) {
~}
~public function applyDelta ($delta, $strict = false) {
~}
~public function getValue () {
~}
}
I want to implement some kind of onChange function and from what  i can
see that i have 2 options:
1. Create an OnChange object and make Statistic a child class.
2. Create an OnCHange interface and make Statistic implement it.
The problem is that nither are fully what i'm after. I want to be able
to use the onChange functionality on a number of other classes (all
implemented in the same way) and i also want to create a few other
onBlah functions that i also want to apply to objects along side if
required the onChange functionality.
So from this i can see that an interface would be the best way to go as
a class can implement any number of interfaces but can only be extend
from one parent. However using the example given all the onChange
functions for each object function exactly the same and will therefore
give me a lot of repeated code.
Is there any way to get around this. Something like an interface with a
fully defined function is what i'm really after.
The onChange function is currently...

~public function onChange ($object=null, $method=null) {
~if($object == null){
~$method = null;
~}
~if($object != null && !is_object($object)){
~$this->onChange();
~}else{
~$this->onChangeObject = $object;
~$this->onChangeMethod = $method;
~}
~}

[PHP] Re: sorting files by date

U wouldnt need to timestamp it, split the filename insert into 2 dimensional

and use the sort() command and you have it.

Se examples her, theres also examples of sorting into more levels, meaning
you
can sort first by date, then by filename aslong as you do your splitting
right, :)

Well,

If your into your programming, have a look at this one :
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/package/1199.html

It does something else, but the same approach can be used to
format your readable dates. This wheel has surely been invented
already, so you probably should do some googling to find a
finnished class og function that does this for you.

[PHP] newbie question about scope

[news.comcast.giganews.com]

I am an experienced web developer who is just getting into php.  I have had
a php project fall into my lap and wanted a little advice.  Here is the
scoop:

A client moved their site from a server (unknown details) to a hosting
facility (php 4.3.2).  Now none of the scripts work.  I have guessed that
they are coming from an earlier version of apache/php.  Anyway it appears
that whoever created the site in the first place did not believe in scoping
variables.  Now any variable that is not properly scoped will not be read by
the server.  I know I can simply scope all of the variables, but I was
hoping there may be an easier way.  Also, how bad is the _REQUEST scope I
read that "it could not be trusted", however the previous developer created
the app in such a way that several places a variable could be _GET or _POST.
I apologize for the rambling and possible incoherency of this message, I am
a bit tired.

You're thinking about this in the wrong way, it seems. The server 
probably has register_globals Off, where previously he was programming 
with it being On. or vise-versa. They should be Off, and should be left 
off, but programming with them off needs some adjusting. Variables such 
as post and get data are now 'superglobals', and must use the 
appropriate arrays; $_GET[], and $_POST[]. There are things like 
extract(), but using them is not advised. as per your question about 
"scope queries", be more concrete :)

It is likely then that register_globals is set to OFF in the php.ini. In
earlier versions this directive was set to ON. It was a "security issue"
that was more about bad coding than a PHP vulnerability. If you passed a
form field with the name of userName it could be accessed by PHP in the
$userName variable, with RG off you would have to access it via
$_GET['userName'] or $_POST['userName'] dependent upon the processing
method of the form.

Also, how bad is the _REQUEST scope I read that "it could not be

Again, bad coding would present a danger here.

things to check..
check the register_globals flag in php.ini - you can also set this using 
ini_set()

Check the short_open_tags are either on/off - again this chan be changes 
in ini_set()

Yes, you handle it in the query;

$sql = "SELECT COUNT(eyeColor) AS colorCount, eyeColor FROM theTable
WHERE sex = 'male' GROUP BY eyeColor ";

You can also do a cross-tab query;

$sql = "SELECT eyeColor, ";
$sql .= "SUM(IF(sex = 'male', 1, 0)) AS Guys, ";
$sql .= "SUM(IF(sex = 'female', 1, 0)) AS Gals ";
$sql .= "FROM theTable ";
$sql .= "GROUP BY eyeColor ";

[PHP] multiple table rows into an array, and creating a calendar

[Dave G]

PHP Gurus,
I have a database of events which happen on various dates. I've
set up a query to select all the dates within the current month. I've
got a calendar which shows one month at a time, as a table, on which to
display the relevant dates as links.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to compare the results
of the query to the dates on the calendar so that they display on the
right dates.
I thought I should put those date in an array and then on each
date, search that array for a matching date, and if it's found, then
display a link on that date. But my first obstacle was getting the
results of my query into an array.
I first thought I could just use mysql_fetch_array(), but I am
obviously mistaken. According to php.net, that will make an array out of
the columns in the currently selected row. But I want to make an array
out of *all* the rows I have. Each row has only one entry, the date.
I'm looking through all the mysql_* commands that are listed on
the left side of the page, and I don't see any commands that do that.
Surely this kind of action is common enough to merit having it's own
command...?
As I read further, I wonder if my plan is flawed. I thought
mysql_data_seek would search the array based on my criteria, and then
return true or false. But what it says on php.net is very confusing for
me, so I have to admit I'm not sure what it does at all.

I guess what I really am asking is, what is the most efficient
way for me to compare the dates on the calendar with the dates in my
database and display matches as links.
I mean, I could put my mysql_query command in the while loop
that renders the calendar, and search for matching dates that way. But
that means searching the whole database table roughly 30 times each time
the page is accessed, and that can't be right. I'm sure this is better
handled with arrays, but I can't quite figure out the logic and the
commands.
Can anyone help me out with this?

Re: [PHP] shell_exec with pipes

Is there a way to show the number of records in a recordset based on a
specific criteria?
 
For example, if I create a record set of all male employees regardless
of eye color and then I want to create a table showing the totals of
people of each eye color.  Is there a way to do this with out creating
several different recordsets.
 
Thanks!!

RE: [PHP] Show total records based on criteria

[Jay Blanchard]

[snip]
Another newbie question but how do I get the info out of a query when I
do a group by? How is it presented to me?

Would you mind taking your example 1 step farther and show me how I
would echo, say, the total of blue eyed people?

$sql = "SELECT COUNT(eyeColor) AS colorCount, eyeColor FROM theTable
WHERE sex = 'male' GROUP BY eyeColor ";

$sql = "SELECT eyeColor, ";
$sql .= "SUM(IF(sex = 'male', 1, 0)) AS Guys, ";
$sql .= "SUM(IF(sex = 'female', 1, 0)) AS Gals ";
$sql .= "FROM theTable ";
$sql .= "GROUP BY eyeColor ";
[/snip]

Let's pretend we are using MySQL (and the AS in the query is very
important) and we are displaying in a web page, I'll show some error
checking etc.;

$sql = "SELECT COUNT(eyeColor) AS colorCount, eyeColor FROM theTable
WHERE sex = 'male' GROUP BY eyeColor ";
/*do the query and check for problems*/
if(!($db = mysql_query($sql, $connectionString))){
echo "MySQL Error: " . mysql_error() . "\n";
exit();
}

Assuming no errors I would then do this;

while($result = mysql_fetch_object($db)){
echo "We have " . $result->colorCount . "guys with " .
$result->eyeColor . "eyes!\n";
}

If you want blue eyes only you would handle that in the query;

SELECT COUNT(eyeColor) FROM theTable WHERE sex = 'male' AND eyeColor =
'blue'

And if your are returning one row ...

$result = mysql_fetch_object($db); // no while loop
echo "We have " . $result->colorCount . "guys with " . $result->eyeColor
. "eyes!\n";

Tim there are several excellent tutorials (Google for PHP tutorial) that
walk you through step by step. 

P.S. when replying to a response on the list make sure to reply to all
so that your message gets returned to the list in the event the original
respondent is not available to reply to your response.

I agree that is the way it should be, but my client is looking for a quick
fix, not a good one.  In the end it is fortunate for my client that the
quick fix is not a viable one.  I agree that all variables should be scoped,
it is the right way to do things.  I think I have my query question figured
out.

How do you propose to read the files from the client? You can read
any files you like (and have permission to) on the server, but you
can't read the client files with PHP.

Just as you can't read files on a client, you can't unlink a file on
a client with PHP either. unlink() works on files on the server, not
a client.

If you have an array of dates (events) -- and you want to create a

you do an in_array() check for each date that you print.

if (in_array($current_cal_date, $array_of_event_dates))

Re: [PHP] Re: Delete Temporary Internet Files

[Kim Steinhaug]

The original question didnt consert the OS, or where the user was at.
Concerning cleaning the IE directory I would assume that he's installed
PHP and IIS / Apache on his local machine.

Using a webpage online on the internet to fix your local machine doesnt
sound logical to me, therefore I assume local innstallation on local
machine.

And when your on your local machine there are no problems accessing your
files,
even if they belong to the windows environment. Overwriting them can be
problematic at times, since processed may use the file.

Hi,

does anyone happen to know off hand the function that will ignore case for 
data inputted via text from a ?  I don't remember it off hand 
and can't find it in the function list on php.net.  Basically it changes 
the text in the string from a character to [a-Z] for each character.  I 
know it exists because i've used it before.  Any help?  Thanks

It might be strtolower and strtoupper, but they do not make string case

That's Hungarian notation (named after a guy that worked at MS that came 
up with it, iirc).

The $VarNameLikeThis is called Camel Case

What is it that you hope to achieve by using a function instead of a
url?  You could, as chris writes, use
action="Javascript:dosomething();", but that has almost an identical
effect as calling said function in the onsubmit event handler.

The only difference would be that if you use the onsubmit handler and
the function does not return false, the action parameter of the form
will be called after the function executes.

Cheers,
Pablo

Give elements the ability to access their own form object. Then they can
request elements belonging to their own form for complex validation. For
instance:

function validateZip( &$element )
{
$form = $element->getForm();

$country = $form->getElement( 'country' );
if( $country->getValue() == 'Some country' )
{
// ZIP must meet format for "Some country".
}
else
if( $country->getValue() == 'Some other country' )
{
// ZIP must meet format for "Some other country".
}
else
{
// Default case.
}
}

HTH,
Rob.

[PHP] testing a variable

[Adam Williams]

Hello,

I need to test a variable to see if it contains a value or not, and if 
not, do something.  My php is a little rusty, so which would be better?

if ( !$var )
{ echo "do something";}

or

if ( !isset($var )
{ echo "do something";}

or are both of those wrong, and if so, how hsoudl I check if a variable is 
false, null, doesn't contain a value, etc...

What I am doing is checking a field in an sql table, and if the field is 
null, empty, etc... then do something.  so what is the best way to check 
the field if its null, empty, etc...?

For once and for all .. NO, you cannot do that. The form is submitted to a
page, and this page will execute funtions.

What you might want to do is this (though I doubt if you want to do it cuz
it is pretty unsafe):

No, Chris. For as far as I know you cannot even do this with JavaScript.
Though I've never tried it. What you can do is use the 'onSubmit' event like
this:



Where FunctionDeclaredInJavascript() is a function declared in JS (not in
PHP).  If it returns false the form will not be submitted, if it returns
true the form will .. Guesss what? :P

The variable might be set, yet empty, though. So you may want to add

if(!isset($var) || empty($var))
{ echo "do something"; }

[PHP] Installing mcrypt

[Mike At Spy]

I am installing mcrypt on a linux server.  I first installed libmcrypt 2.5.7
and now am working on mcrypt 2.6.4.

When I do a ./configure for mcrypt 2.6.4, it gives me this error:

checking for libmcrypt - version >= 2.5.0...
*** 'libmcrypt-config --version' returned 2.5.7, but LIBMCRYPT (2.5.6)
*** was found! If libmcrypt-config was correct, then it is best

error

LIBMCRYPT_CONFIG
*** to point to the correct copy of libmcrypt-config, and remove the file
config.cache
*** before re-running configure
configure: error: *** libmcrypt was not found

There has only been one version of libmcrypt (new server), so I'm not sure
why it thinks there is a 2.5.6 version on it.

Where do I find the LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable to change it?  Or is
there another solution?

Thanks!

But why in the world would you want to edit other "Internet Options"
for a PC that is acting as a web server? I stand by my assumption
that the OP wanted to change the client machine's settings (and
delete the client temp files), and not the settings on the server. Of
course, I could be wrong. It happens daily.

Yes, this helps a lot!
However, I'm still stuck on how to get my list of dates into the array.
I've been searching around on the Internet, and it seems that one has to
construct a for() loop in order to get the results of multiple rows into
an array. But that seems unnecessarily complicated. Is there no command
to take multiple rows and place them into an array?

Elaborate? Well I was just thinking that this could somehow be used to

the email instead of hauling off to write an article (most of which
would be misinformed without having a better understanding).

Well I guess there isn't one now that you've asked that question.

My original thinking was that I wouldn't be using the session id as I
would the unique identifier because of point #2 (you shouldn't store the
session id on the client). But since you point out that storing the
session id is a necessary evil (if I understand you correctly) I see
that it would be ok to forget about generating another unique identifier
and just use the session id instead.

Well then let met ask this: Is an SSL login option something you

would you only create one if the client requested/had a need for it?

In your article from php|arch (http://www.phparch.com/sample.php?mid=16)
the first of your 5 points in protecting against XSS is to use
htmlentities(), strip_tags(), and utf8_decode() when filtering your
data. Would using all three of these protect against everything? If not,
can you give an example of what data can be passed, put through those
filtering functions, and still cause problems? (For understanding sake.)

[PHP] index.php4 broken

[Michael Seely]

HI -- I just broke something simple and I'm stuck.
I've been using index.php3 as the start file in each directory for a long 
time.  I just set up a new site using php4 and the index.php4 pages are not 
displayed as the default page for the directory. I see the text version 
directory listing.
If I use the full url, i.e., something/index.php4 it looks OK as expected.

You can. I just said, "I think," to be polite. I knew the answer. :-)

Of course, as someone else pointed out, this is a terrible idea. At most,
you would want to use the onsubmit attribute to call your function, so
that those who have JavaScript disabled can still submit the form.

Hope that helps.

Yes. You need to somehow differentiate between the different columns and
rows. What I suggest you do is change every other + to something else
like a ; and then split on that.

Without knowing any other way to do this I would use a regex to skip the
first + and change second one, repeating this until the end of the
string.

Then you can explode() on + and ;.


hth,
Chris.

Nothingyet. Have a look at the directives in your

# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML

#

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.php3


Add index.php4 at the eol

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.php3 index.php4

also make sure that you have

Chances are, you need to modify your httpd.conf file to 'see' index.php4 
as a directory index file, and restart Apache.

[tirumal b]

Hello All

 I have an ip addr in a variable. I use
'ssh'.$ipaddr.'command' in a php file

The dots in ipaddr variable are considered to be
string concatenations. can it take the literal meaning
in this case. Please let me know

Thank you

Tirumal

No they are not. Show some examples.

[PHP] Why is this code not working?

[Dave G]

PHP Gurus,
I'm trying to put the results of a query into an array.
My code looks like this:
";
}
echo "The results of the array are - " . $workshops[0] . " and " .
$workshops[1];
?>
When I run this, the output to the screen says:
---
Array
Array
The results of the array are - Array and Array
---
If I change just this line (take the square brackets off the
$workshops array declaration):
$workshops = mysql_fetch_row($result);

Then my results are:
---
2003-11-17

The results of the Array are 2003-11-24 and
---
I understand that by not using square brackets to declare the
variable explicitly as an array, then it just stores the last value,
which is why the dates aren't echoing to the screen where they are
supposed to. That part makes sense. What I don't understand is why when
I try to put the results into a particular location in the array, it
gets stored as the word "Array". But if I just declare it as a regular
variable, then I get the date that I want.
I've been writing this out a million different ways to try and
figure out what's going on, I've searched Google, and I've read the
descriptions for the mysql_* commands on php.net. But everything I read
indicates it should work. In fact I got the for() loop from a tutorial
web site, so I'm pretty sure it's supposed to work. I can't see what's
wrong. Am I not declaring the array correctly? Is there some simple
error that I'm over looking? What's going on?

What am I missing here? How is the dot operator not considered
concatenation?

$concatenatedString = 'a'.'concatenated'.'string';

tirumal,

Do you want do to this?

$string = "ssh.$ipaddr.command";

?



Chris.

Have you tried mysql_fetch_array()?

$ipaddr = "192.34.123.122";

. is not a concatenator, it is part of the string.

$myFileName = "barkLikeAdog.txt";

. is not a concatenator, it is part of the string.

That's wrong, which makes me think that you didn't bother trying this
before you asked your question.

If I am mistaken, please clarify.
