[PHP] PHP and Palm Pilot interaction

[Dave G]

PHP Gurus,
I have a web site that helps people sign up for workshops and
classes. The classes happen away from any computer or web access. What I
want to do is be able to collect data about payment and attendance and
be able to send it to the web site for inclusion into the MySQL
database.
Of course, I could go low tech and just have people write things
down and then later type in results when they finally get web access.
However, if possible, I would like to take advantage of the fact
that the teachers of these classes all carry Palm Pilots. If it were
possible, could they record data in some fashion that would allow them
to copy the data over to their PC when they hot synch, and then upload
it to a page where it would automatically be integrated into the site
database.
I have only the faintest notions about how this could work, and
I suspect it may simply not be possible.
But on the other hand, I was wondering if it may be possible to
make use of the simple text editor on the Palm, or perhaps the newer
Excel editors (which I have not yet tried), to create a file of flat
data which could then be uploaded and interpreted by PHP and then
entered into the DB. It seems to me that a simple text file would
probably be easy to upload and read by PHP, but then I'd have to do more
work to get the teachers to conform to layout standards and do more
error checking since the text file allows for a wide range of mistakes
to happen. The Excel file would make it easier for the teachers to see
where to enter data and have less mistakes, but then it might be more
difficult to get the data out of it, through PHP, and into the database.
If anyone has any pointers or advice about how to best approach
this problem, please let me know.

Hello,

currently there is only Wiki, and mail support. However, to compensate, I
try my best not to affer only answers to strictly technical support
questions, but also to all various questions on how to do something with TT,
or how to approach some problem with it. Quite often I compile answer to
such question and put it afterwards on the wiki as an example, so I have
double benefit from it. In the future I may open a mailing list or something
similar.

Hope that helps, and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to
mail me.

Assuming you're using the gd lib functions, then whatever function you're 
using to output the image has an option to write to disk. As always see 
manual for details.

Make a custom sheet in Excel for the
 teachers. Excel can generate a comma delimited
 (CSV) file out of a sheet. The you can very
 easily import that file into your PHP program
 :8] (there is even a function for it, IIRC).

If you had read and followed the advice given in response to your earlier 
posts I'm sure you would've solved your problem by now.

Again:

1) Enable FULL error reporting by including these lines at the top of your 
code:

  error_reporting (E_ALL);
  ini_set('display_errors', 1);

2) Output the image to file. Remember to comment out the header() for the time 
being.

3) And someone else suggested that you may have specified the name of your 
font file incorrectly. In my experience you *have* to specify a path to your 
font file. So if the font file was in the same directory as your script then 
use './name_of_font_file'. So if you had followed the above steps (at the 
least step 1) you would have seen the following error:

  PHP Warning:  imagettftext(): Could not find/open font in ...

and would have clued you into what the problem was.

[PHP] Problem with adding quotations to a mysql insert statement

[Richard Kurth]

I need to add extra quotation marks in to the following insert command for
mysql.

I need one that is part of the info right before the |$wrapper resend and
right after the
$outgoing,nobody
$query = "insert into majordomoaliases
(domain,listname,var,address1,address2)values
(/"$domname/",\"$listname\",\"a\",\"$listdomain-$listname:\",\" |$wrapper
resend -C $domaincf -l
$listname -h $listdomain $listdomain-$listname-$outgoing,nobody\")";

The whole line should look like this when it is printed out to the page it
will be written to from the database
"|/var/wrapper resend -C /var/domaincf -l list1 -h domain.com
domain.com-list1-outgoing,nobody"

I am totaly stuped on haw to add this extra quotation mark no mater what I
do I get mysql errors.

Just curious about something I came across.
I was looking at the $GLOBAL array, to see what my script was leaving behind.
$GLOBALS contains a reference to itself.
Even though its a reference, whats the sense with that??
Once its global, why should it have to call on itself?

[PHP] searching and replacing in a file

RE: [PHP] PHP IDE?

[Wouter van Vliet]

Yeah .. vim is my god too. You can do so many things with so little
keystrokes. And it basically has the best syntax highlighting I've ever
seen. With some easy tricks you can even let it highlight your own
functions. I haven't doen so, but I know it's possible :P... Also, it exists
on most servers so you can work directly on the server. Without having to
mess with (Samba) filesharing. Another advantage is that it runs both on
Linux as well as on Windows.

Well .. it basically just "Contains a reference to every variable which is
currently available within the global scope of the script. The keys of this
array are the names of the global variables.". Since $GLOBALS itself is
global, that too is contained.

So: 


var_dump(isset($GLOBALS['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS
']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBAL
S']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBA

]));

Will still print out true. the displaying of *RECURSION* is to prevent, well
.. ehmm, recursively printing out the $GLOBALS array over and over again.
This is something new in PHP 4.0.4. Read the manual on page
http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php:

Note: Prior to PHP 4.0.4, print_r() will continue forever if given
an array or object that contains a direct or indirect reference to itself.
An example is print_r($GLOBALS) because $GLOBALS is itself a global variable
that contains a reference to itself.

Have php...

1) Make a copy of the original:

if ( ! copy ( $old_file, $backup_file . ".bak" ) ) {
// Uh-oh, there's an error
}
2) Read the original and open a temp file:

$file_contents = file ( $old_file );
if ( ! $fp = fopen ( $temp_file, "w+" ) ) {
//  Oh my, can't open the file
}
3) Parse and write:

for ( $i = 0; $i < sizeof ( $file_contents ); $i++ ) {
$write_this = preg_replace ( $pattern, $replacement, $file_contents[$i] );
if ( ! fwrite ( $fp, $write_this ) ) {
// Darn, can't write to the temp file
}
}
4) Cleanup and copy temp file:

fclose ( $fp );
if ( ! copy ( $temp_file, $old_file ) ) {
// Zoinks, there seems to be a problem
}
It's 5:00 am for me, and I'm typing all this from memory, so there may 
be bugs :)  You can remove the temp file if you so desire if the above 
runs without error.

Rush,

templatetamer looks like an environment that I would be interested in 
using; however, what support resources are available for templatetamer? 
Is there a news server, bulletin board, or other help resource for 
people new to templatetamer?

If you are going to work with templates, you can take a look at
TemplateTamer, which has IDE geared for such development.

If you're willing to purchase a commercial product I'd highly recommend
Zend's IDE.  I've been working on a large PHP development project for a
little over a year now and switched to the Zend IDE about three months
ago and it has really increased my productivity.

Hello,

currently there is only Wiki, and mail support. However, to compensate, I
try my best not to affer only answers to strictly technical support
questions, but also to all various questions on how to do something with TT,
or how to approach some problem with it. Quite often I compile answer to
such question and put it afterwards on the wiki as an example, so I have
double benefit from it. In the future I may open a mailing list or something
similar.

Hope that helps, and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to
mail me.

Hello

If you don't mind running a JVM you can use PHPEclipse with the Eclipse 
Framework. Additionally to the php plugin there are a lot of other plugins 
out there that  can assist you.

Yeah .. vim is my god too. You can do so many things with so little
keystrokes. And it basically has the best syntax highlighting I've ever
seen. With some easy tricks you can even let it highlight your own
functions. I haven't doen so, but I know it's possible :P... Also, it exists
on most servers so you can work directly on the server. Without having to
mess with (Samba) filesharing. Another advantage is that it runs both on
Linux as well as on Windows.

hi,

just some thoughts:

for sessions it's possible, that in php.ini 'session.save_path' or 
'session.cookie_path' isn't correctly defined?

another possiblility is, that your scripts depend on 'register_globals = 
On', which is (now) set to 'off' by default (location: php.ini). either 
you set it 'on' (not recommended, search the newsgroup for that and the 
security issues), or rewrite your scripts for "off-support", e.g. 
$_SESSION['sess_var'].

[PHP] DGS Search Script Modifications

[K. Praveen Kumar]

Dear All,
I recently downloaded the DGS search, which has the great features. Now
I would like to modify the script a bit.
Requirement:
I wanted to search different tables for the entered keywords. If find
the file name and id will be different for each so, I wanted to get the
id of that particular row and the type and show that as a link.

Example:
I have two tables. 1) Countries 2) Credits.
Countries table have the following fields: overview, description
Credits table have the following fields: overview, description

IF the given word matches the word in Countris.overview and
Credits.description then it should display
http://localhost/overview.php?CountryId=1 and
http://localhost/description.php?CountryId=10&CreditId=3 Please suggest
me where I can modify the script to get the script working for me.

Check there are no spaces or newlines before the opening tag  embedded into an HTML

[PHP] var check not working...

[Jas]

For some reason this will not work... my $_POST variables check for no 
form variables and display a form... if they choose an item from a 
select box it queries the database for a field matching the $_post var 
and builds a new form creating 8 separate $_post variables to check 
for.. so far it works except when selecting an item from the select box 
it will only display the first form when there are $_post vars present. 
 I think I am missing something, could someone look over my code?
Thanks in advance,

Used to use UltraEdit some time, but now I'm with jEdit.

It's an OpenSource Java editor and supports plugins.. so you can
manage Projects and a lot more.

It's main target (from the number of plugins) is Java development, but
it's great for PHP/HTML also.

Well have you thought about maybe an array of illegal or extended 
characters and simply replacing them?
eg.
$b = $_POST['whatever_variables_you_have'];
$match = array("ö","ç","ä");
$replace = array("o","c","a");
$z = str_replace($match,$replace,$b);

Might not be exactly what you want but hope it helps.

[PHP] Subject: searching for open source php module

[matt shultz]

hi,
i am looking for an open source php module that does some simple content 
management.   it seems that something like this must exists, since it is a 
pretty common need, but i'm not sure where to find such a thing.  here is 
a description of the functionality i am looking for: ability to update 
many page withing a website with content unique to each, hopefully with 
versioning for each of these pages (so that previous versions can be 
referenced or reverted to). in my thinking, each page is just a single 
text field that the updater fills in on the backend of the site.  it also 
would be usefull if the module took care of paragraph breaks without 
makeing the user type in html.  as you can see, this is a very very simple 
module, and i would just write it myself except that it seems like someone 
may have already done so.  let me know where to look (or for something 
similar, since i can easily mod anything that's out there), and also if 
there is a good resource for open source php projects of this type.

hi walter,
because most of these chars are extended ascii (decimal: 128-255), this 
regex should work: '/\x80-\xFF/' (hex-values). also take care of the 
minus in your regex if it doesn't stand on start or end of your 
char-group it means 'from-to'!

hi jas,

the problem is, that your second form is only executed if your first 
condition is false (else if). but because of your or condition (||) only 
  one of them has to be true. right? right! so it doesn't matter if 
your $_POST['dhcp_vlans'] is not set, when any other isn't set. a 
solution might be:

[PHP] 4 project questions - help appreciated

[Ryan A]

Hi,
I am making a personal project like so:

I enter something in the text box (eg. "PHP REALLY ROCKS!!!")
then the program checks if that string already exists in the database, if
no, then it should enter it into the database and also generate a "key"
This key can be given to pals and they can read the "secret message"

Key:
Key should first be 1-1000 then a-z then A-Z then axxx (eg: a001, the xxx
will always be numbers) once it reaches 999 it should become Axxx then b
then B etc after a,A,b,B are done it should go for aaxx,AAxx etc always 4
characters

A few questions:
1.Looking at the above (database part) I figured that doing this via a mysql
database would be better rather than a text database...do you agree?

2.I was thinking of making the "key" field a primary key and unique and
indexedright?

3.The way I see it theres 3 sql statements that need to be run, a) connect
and see if string exists b)read the last key c)write to the
database...anyway to break the above to 2 statements or am I following this
wrong?

4. Logic for the key, I am coming up with crummy logic to make the "key",
basically a block of code for 1-1000,another block for a-z another block for
A-Z etc.. any ideas,links,URLs or code snippets off the top of your head
would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

[PHP] Re: 4 project questions - help appreciated

[Jas]

1. MySQL is free, fairly easy to use and is way better than using a text 
file.

2. I would use something to effect of a 'id' field in the database and 
set that to be indexed, auto-incrementing and unique vs. using your 
'public key' as the indexed portion of the database

3. Sounds like you already know what kind of function you need.  If you 
need an example here is one.
[snippit]

function keys() {
/* Connect to database */
$db = @mysql_pconnect('localhost','user_name','password') or 
die(mysql_error());
/* Select databse to use */
@mysql_select_db('keys') or die("Could not connect to remote database.");
$tble = "messages";
/* Look for existing key */
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $tble WHERE key = '$key'",$db)or 
die(mysql_error());
/* Create array of variables retrieved */	
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
	$id = $row["session"]; }
	/* Check to see if any results were returned */		
	if (mysql_num_rows($sql) == 0) {
		$insert = @mysql_query("INSERT INTO $tble VALUES 
('','$var1','$var2','$var3','$var4','$var5')",$db)or die(mysql_error());
	/* If key exists update data with form data */
	} elseif (mysql_num_rows($sql) != 0) {
		$update = @mysql_query("UPDATE $tble SET var1=\"$var1\", 
var2=\"$var2\", var3=\"$var3\", var4=\"$var4\", var5=\"$var5\" WHERE 
key=\"$key\"",$db)or die(mysql_error());
	} else {
		exit(); }	
} else {
	exit(); }
}
?>
[end snippit]

4. You are talking about a one way hash to be used as a public key 
right? If you are I generate a unique key in this manner (I really don't 
loop through any array's of numbers or letters) instead I pull an image 
randomly selected from a specified directory and then through it through 
a system of functions as illustrated below.  You can record the key in 
the database and use it as a "public key" so to speak so the person your 
sending the secret message to would need to know that "public key".
[snippit]

/* Function to create array of images */
$rand_image = array();
$x = 0;
$x++; $rand_image[$x] = "shared/image01.jpg";
$x++; $rand_image[$x] = "shared/image02.jpg";
$x++; $rand_image[$x] = "shared/image03.jpg";
$x++; $rand_image[$x] = "shared/image04.jpg";
/* Randomly select image to encrypt and use as session variable */
function random_image() {
	global $rand_image;
	srand ((double) microtime() * 100);
	print $rand_image[rand(1,sizeof($rand_image))]; }
	/* Encryption function for random image */
	$hash = md5(uniqid(microtime($rand_image),1));
}
echo $hash;
?>
[end snippit]
Hope that helps some...

[Jas]

You really should be subscribing to the php.install list when asking 
questions of this type.  But it sounds like you need to first install 
mysql, then install apache, then install php.  In that order and you 
should be ok.  When in doubt read the manuals for each application for 
further information on the different options available for your ./configure.

[Naveen Glore]

Hello all, 

I have freebsd server with apache, PHP and mysql. i wrote a simple PHP program using 
mail(). The mail() function returns true without any error. but the problem is the 
email is never delivered. I viewed the log file for mail(/var/log/maillog) and i saw 
the following error: 

Server sendmail[351]:NOQUEUE:SYSERR(www):can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): 
Permission denied. 

I would be really thankful if someone could tell me where i am doing wrong. 

In PHP.INI , i have set sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail".

[PHP] logic for displaying hierarchical data (ala windows explorer)

[Chris W. Parker]

Hi everyone,

Last Friday I struggled for a long time with displaying some data that's
stored using the Modified Preorder Tree Traversal method. Without making
this email overly long and complicated (like my first draft was) I'd
like to simply ask if someone has any links or functions or instructions
they can give me on how to display my data in such a way.

I want the following:

Level 1A
|--Level 2A
|  \--Level 3A
| |--Level 4A
| |  \--Level 5A
| \--Level 3B
|--Level 2B
|  \--Level 3C
\--Level 2C
   \--Level 3D

What I always end up with is this (or some variant of it):

Level 1A
|--Level 2A
|  \--Level 3A
|  |  |--Level 4A
|  |  |  \--Level 5A
|  |  \--Level 3B
|--Level 2B
|  \--Level 3C
\--Level 2C
|  \--Level 3D


Any help is appreciated.

Chris.

Re: [PHP] PHP IDE?

I searched for weeks and tried about 8 php editors and settled on

The automatic documenter [they call it help, which it really isn't] is

Used to use UltraEdit some time, but now I'm with jEdit.

It's an OpenSource Java editor and supports plugins.. so you can
manage Projects and a lot more.
It's main target (from the number of plugins) is Java development, but
it's great for PHP/HTML also.

Of all these things can it connect to FTP locations?

I tried it out but could only manage to open files from my local
harddrive which is exactly where my php files are not.

[PHP] Re: Q on RegExp & extended Char

[jsWalter]

I should have posted some "rules" with this...

assuming:
 - a SPACE is used to delimit first from last name [Walter Torres]
 - a HYPHEN is used to separate a dual name (British style) [Conrad-Smyth]
 - an APOSTROPHE is used in many Irish and Scotish names [O'Reilly]
 - a PERIOD is used in titles, suffixes [Dr. Sr. Jr.]
 - a PERIOD is used for Initials [Walter G. Torres]

then...
 - allow apostrophes, but only if preceded *and* followed by a Alpha/Extend
 - allow hyphen/dash, but only if preceded *and* followed by a Alpha/Extend
 - allow PERIOD, but only if preceded by a Alpha/Extend *and* followed by a
   SPACE or EOS
 - allow SPACE, but only if preceded *and* followed by a Alpha/Extend

also...
 - allow x80 thru xFF

I've come up with this...

/^([a-z\x80-\xFF]+(. )?[ ]?)+$/i
   |_||___||__| ^
   ^^   ^   |
   ||   |   | whole block ONE or more times
   ||   |
   ||   | SPACE - ZERO or ONE times
  alpha & extended  |
  ONE or more   | PERIOD - ZERO or ONE times


but I can't seem to figure out how to get the HYPEN & apostrophe rules in
here.

But this does allow multiple spaces - which It really shouldn't but...

It also lets me add SPACEs at the end, oh well...

Any ideas?

Thanks

[PHP] rand(min, max) always returns min

[Jeff Mainville]

Howdy,

I've seen this topic posted once before, but without ever reaching a
conclusion.  The earlier posting is at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=105414659615227&w=3

The problem:  rand(min, max) always returns min on some systems.

rand(), mt_rand, and mt_rand(min, max) all work fine.

I've seen this fail on the following systems:

4.3.4/apache2/solaris 8 sparc
4.3.4/apache2/solaris 9 sparc
5.0.0b2/apache2/solaris 9 sparc

But it works on 

4.3.0/apache2/win2k
4.3.4/apache2/solaris 8 sparc

All of the systems where it fails have /dev/*random on them.
All of the systems where it works do not have /dev/*random on them.

Code to test:

";
echo "rand():  "  . rand() . "";  // works
echo "rand(1,100):  " . rand(1,100). "";  // fails; always
returns 1
echo "mt_rand():  "   . mt_rand()  . "";  // works
echo "mt_rand(1,100):  "  . mt_rand(1,100) . "";  // works
?> 

Any insight or pointers as to why this might be failing will be appreciated.

Thanks,

jeff

[PHP] Starting OOP

[Mike Smith]

I've been doing procedural coding for a few month's, but perceive the 
need for OOP for some of the projects I've done. I'm starting out and 
and would like some feedback, before I tread down the wrong path. The 
books I'm looking at Professional PHP (Wrox), and Visual QuickStart PHP 
have examples, but I seem to need something more concrete so I've 
started a skeleton to rewrite a Purchase Order application. Here is the 
layout:


function AddItem($ponum,$item){
...INSERT SQL CODE
}
function DeleteItem($ponum,$item){
...DELETE SQL CODE
}
function UpdateItem($ponum,$item){
...UPDATE SQL CODE
}
function ListItems($ponum){
...SELECT SQL CODE, RETURN RESULTS (ie. 
while($row=mssql_fetch_array($rst)){echo $row[0]})
}

}
?>
I would then include that in my page,
and add items to a PO by doing something like

If($_POST['submit']=='Add'){
//A HTML Button next to a text box to add a line item
$po->AddItem('12345','5063');
}
$po->ListItems('12345');

?>

Do I have the basic concept right? This is like relearning to code. 
Perhaps I learned in a bad way if that's the case. Any especially good 
tutorials or books to recommend?

Thanks

RE: [PHP] Starting OOP

[Martin Towell]

I would rewrite your class slighly like this:
1. pass $ponum into the class during the constructor
2. since you're passing in $item into each function, no need to have it as
an attribute

class PurchaseOrder
{
//Variables
var $ponum; //This will be a $_SESSION variable if that matters

function PurchaseOrder($ponum){
$this->ponum = $ponum;
}

function AddItem($item){
...INSERT SQL CODE using $this->ponum
}

function DeleteItem($item){
...DELETE SQL CODE using $this->ponum
}

function UpdateItem($item){
...UPDATE SQL CODE using $this->ponum
}

function ListItems(){
...SELECT SQL CODE using $this->ponum, RETURN RESULTS (ie. 
while($row=mssql_fetch_array($rst)){echo $row[0]})

[PHP] Opening large file problem - fopen

[Kim Steinhaug]

Hello

Im having real problems working with large files in PHP. At
the moment Im trying to parse an error_log file, and it works
like a charm, except that the scipt stopps after parsing around
70.000 lines, or around 8MB of data. Im using this :

$file= "error_log"; // 280MB file
if($fp=fopen($file, "r+"))
{
 while($line=trim(fgets($fp)))
  {
 // Do the business
   }

}

Surely this is not the way to work with e.g. a 280MB file. I solved the
sollution by chopping the file into 7MB files, and adding a fileopen
loop around the script above which solves my problem. But ->
How do I parse the 280MB file all in 1 go?

I have plenty of timeout and plenty of RAM in the php.ini file, so the
problem isnt here.

Re: [PHP] PHP and MySQL date

[Website Managers.net]

If you need to store both date and time, there are several ways to accomplish this. 
MySQL has built-in date/timestamp options, but those long strings would need to be 
converted for be human readable.

The option I use most is telling PHP what format I want to use and entering it into 
the database as a variable character (VARCHAR) field.

$Today = date((Y-m-d H:i),mktime());
 Returns: 2003-12-15 18:20

See the PHP help file for mktime() and date()

The best way is to use a datetime or timestamp type in MySql, depending 
on your use of it. Using MySql's types allows you to use MySql's date 
comparison and functions for queries. You can get a UNIX timestamp using 
the UNIX_TIMESTAMP() function in mysql or by using strtotime() in PHP on 
the value.

[Cesar Aracena]

Thanks both of you for the answer.

I tried what both of you told me and I found very easy to use the datetime
value under MySQL and then fetch it using strtotime() as fireball at
sizzling dot com recommended at the "User Contributed Notes" of php.net's
function.date.php page rather than using mktime() which can output incorrect
dates.

Thankis to both and everyone.

RE: [PHP] true type fonts again

[cj]

I included the
error_reporting (E_ALL);
  ini_set('display_errors', 1);
and commented out the header information, and I got the cannot open/find
font
So I copied the font to the correct places where I thought the font should
go, and tried the web page again.
The image is displayed but no text, I will be looking through the web pages
for a way to output the image to harddrive directly.
would running php script.php > filename.gif be suitable, or is there another
method.

I do appreciate your help
Thanks

If you had read and followed the advice given in response to your earlier
posts I'm sure you would've solved your problem by now.

Again:

1) Enable FULL error reporting by including these lines at the top of your
code:

  error_reporting (E_ALL);
  ini_set('display_errors', 1);

2) Output the image to file. Remember to comment out the header() for the
time
being.

3) And someone else suggested that you may have specified the name of your
font file incorrectly. In my experience you *have* to specify a path to your
font file. So if the font file was in the same directory as your script then
use './name_of_font_file'. So if you had followed the above steps (at the
least step 1) you would have seen the following error:

  PHP Warning:  imagettftext(): Could not find/open font in ...

and would have clued you into what the problem was.

[PHP] CVS on Windows

[Chris W. Parker]

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the OT post but I don't know of any other lists where this
would be appropriate so I'm sending it here.

I will be interfacing with a CVS server not hosted on a Windows machine
(it will be a bsd/*nix variant) and frankly I've never used it. What
client do all you Windows people use? Also, how does it wotk in
conjuction with your favorite editor? (Mine is HTML-Kit.) Is it
necessary to run some command-line scripts to get the updates populated
to the CVS server?

Also, when working with CVS do you work directly on your local station
or on the remote server? Take for example my situation. I'm just running
plain win2k pro. and I don't have Apache OR PHP installed and I don't
want to install them either. I use HTML-Kit to ftp into my linux server
and work on the files that way.

>From the little reading I've done on CVS you download the entire source
tree and then sync your changes with everything else at a certain time.
If I have to download everything will I then have to move it all to a
PHP compatible server (i.e. the one I use for dev now)?

As I'm thinking about it, maybe an alternative would be to have the CVS
client on the dev server I currently use and then modify the files the
way I always do. Then when I'm ready to sync I can just ssh into the dev
server and run some scripts...

Some guidance in this area would be greatly appreicated!!


Thanks,
Chris.

Re: [PHP] 4 project questions - help appreciated

[Justin French]

Ryan,

As usual, telling us more about the project will help.  I'm a little 
confused about the key -- is it just a unique key, or is it some form 
of password, or somewhere in between?

Let's look at the flow...

1.  You send your pal a key in an email or whatever like so:
http://www.site.com/view.php?key=123457890
2. they go to that URL, and view the message

What I don't understand is why the key needs to be so complicated.  
Surely starting at 1 and incrementing is enough?  MySQL's in-built 
auto-increment makes life very easy to have a numbered unique key :)

Or perhaps you want something less predictable... like PHP's unique key 
function:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.uniqid.php

Before you even bother figuring out the queries, take a step back, and 
think long and hard about what you're trying to achieve.  You sound 
like you're trying to invent something secure, but in reality, it's a 
mess, with predictable, plain-text keys.

If I wanted to publish a list of secret messages on a website, each 
message would have a unique ID (starting at one, and incrementing), a 
password (*at least* stored as an md5(), and not transmitted with the 
id), and finally the message field.

Even then, I still don't get it, so perhaps you need to tell us more.

You can also use the MySQL function DATE_FORMAT() to format the MySQL 
timestamp to your liking. It is very similar to the PHP date() function.

Re: [PHP] 4 project questions - help appreciated

[Ryan A]

Hi Justin,
Yes, I admit the project sounds pretty screwy.

The project is needed for a clients son, he's a small twerp who wanted
something like this and since this is an old client who gave us quite a bit
of business, rather than say no and upset him...I took this on.

The key has to be a max of 4 chars and minimum of 1..
It has to be 1- and a-z. I am well aware its easily "crackable" but its
for a kids game so...who cares?
According to the game, when you go to one address it tells you where to go
from there...going 1 after one will not make sense as the messages will then
be screwy.
Since its for kids and REAL security is not really wanted, i want to do this
in the simpliest fashion and not bother with MD5

The goal is, make it as fast as possible with as little effort as possible,
then wait for the dad to give me something really good..:-)

Cheers,
-Ryan

RE: [PHP] can't access a GET variable on function?

[Chris]

$emailto is in the global scope, so it's not accessible like that.

You can do it one of three ways:

$emailto = $_GET['EmailTO'];

function wtemp_mainbody() {
global $emailto;
print "Contact (";
echo $emailto;
print ") Info";
}
 or

$emailto = $_GET['EmailTO'];

function wtemp_mainbody() {
print "Contact (";
echo $GLOBALS['emailto'];
print ") Info";
}
or (recommended)

function wtemp_mainbody() {
print "Contact (";
echo $_GET['EmailTO'];
print ") Info";
}

[PHP] Browser displays source of php files instead of supposed output on random basis

[Stephan Gloor]

Hello.

Randomly the php-source is displayed instead of the output
(http://www.engstringen.ch/).
This was the case when having installed apache 1.3 und php 4.1.

After ugrading to apache 2 and php 4.3.4 the bug still occurs. But the
browser shows now a file download dialog box for downloading the php
-script instead of having executed it !!!
The header of the response contains the php - mime type configured
application/x-httpd-php.

The apache config contains
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Include conf/confixx_vhost.conf

The confixx_vhost.conf contains lots of virtual host configured on a
named vhost basis.

php is minimally configured with
 './configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-apxs'

Linux version Linux 2.4.20.

Thanks for any hint

Tortoise is a popular CVS client for windows -- CVS commands are added to
the contextual menu in [[whatever windows calls its Finder]]. All of your
files are edited locally, using the editor of your choice. Tortoise
informs you of a file's status with regard to CVS by coloring its icon:
red for modified, green for unchanged, etc. It also works well with
Pageant, if you need to connect to the server via SSH and don't want to
hassle with your password everytime. Some editors provide built-in CVS
functionality, but in my experience with BBEdit, I've not found this to be
as useful as it sounds. YMMV.

It's probably best to do testing and development in one spot, and have the
CVS checkout live there. That way, you don't have to worry about file
consistency between your development and testing directories. Since you
don't intend to have writing and running happening in the same place, you
may find it more sane to learn the command-line CVS client and use it on
the remote server, so that you can be sure that the files you're checking
in are the ones that work.

One drawback of using CVS on the command line is that it has little
support for batch operations on groups of files; a lot of people who use
CVS like this create some variety of CVS status script they can use to
automate the process of finding new or modified files in a group of
directories. Mine is here:
