[PHP] Content Management Systems

[Jed R. Brubaker]

Hey all -
I was hoping that I could get some advice! I am setting up a site that will
be quazi-portal-ish in nature. As such, a lot of different people in a lot
of different departments will be making contributions and editing parts of
the site.

I have never done something like this before, but I think what I am looking
for is a content management system (CMS). Is this correct?

I have been looking at a bunch of the packages from the list on HotScripts,
and I have to admit I am overwhelmed and confused. It seems that packages
such as Midgard, Typo3, etc. would need to be set up by the server admin..
This will not work for my situation. I am looking for a system that:

1. Allows multiple users.
2. Gives me complete design control.
3. Has a non-HTML editor interface (my clients are not so savvy), and
4. Can run just off of a PHP/MySQL interface that I can setup without access
to anything but my server space and database.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks a bunch - you guys are the best!

Content Management System can mean different things to different people :-) 
I can't give a specific recommendation but I can point you to

http://opensourcecms.com/

which has a pretty comprehensive listing of options.

[PHP] php and java applets

[Tom Playford]

Dear all knowing list,

I am trying to control the movement of a camera in real time from the web. But I also 
need to make sure that only the user I specify can have control.

What I though I could do was this: launch a java applet from a php page parsing the 
session id. Then when the user adjusts the controls on the applet, a php page is 
loaded by the applet, sets the user session with the session id, then sends the 
control details back to the server and on to the camera.

I've given this a go with no luck. When I try to set the session id on the php script 
that the Java applet loads I get a permissions error (the perms on /tmp are fine). I'm 
not 100% sure I understand sessions, is my method utterly implausible? Does anyone 
have any better suggestions?


Thanks,

Tom Playford

[PHP] Showing weekly activity reports from Php / MySql script

[Dave Carrera]

Hi List,

How do I group rows from a MySql table and show them as a list of activity
by week numbers.

I.e.:

WEEK 1:
This happened, this happened...

WEEK 2:
This happened, this happened...

And so on.

I hope this makes sense and one of you clever guys (or girls) can advise me
on this one.

Thank you in advance

[PHP] array_push

[Edward Peloke]

Ok,
 
I am having a brain cramp for some reason but I need to pass in an array
to my form class to build select boxes.  The array is ("id"=>"John
Doe"), I need to dynamically build this array from a query but I am
getting errors using array_push.do I need to use array_merge?  Example:
 
$sql=new Database();
$sql->query("select fname,lname, id from clients");
$clients[]=array();
while($sql->nextRecord()){
   array_push($clients, $sql->getField('id')=>$sql->getField('fname'));
 } // while
 
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW in
C:\obox\Apache2\htdocs\nh_vacdest\admin\test.php on line 38
 
How can I dynamically create my array?
 
Thanks,

If you want to do it the way you're doing now you should do ik like this:
array_push($clients, array($sql->getField('id')=>$sql->getField('fname')));

Another possible solution is like this:
$clients[$sql->getField('id')] = $sql->getField('fname');

[PHP] Cpanel accounting library

[Jordi Canals]

Hi all,
Cpanel is a control panel to manage accounts for ISP's (And espcially 
ISP's resellers). I knnow there is some librarys to directly manage the 
accounts from PHP-Scripts and I got some very small and undocummented 
samples.

I'm working on some scripts to manage the accounts directly from PHP 
(Scripts will be GNU/GPL licensed).

After STFW, I've not found any good documentation on it, just the short 
samples on http://www.cpanel.net/remoteaccess-php.html

At this moment, I have access to some servers with the accounting libs 
installed, but I have no access to the fonts (Which could help to make 
it work).

If anyone can post a link where to find good docs about this cpanel lib, 
and, if possible the source code for it, it will help me so much.

Thanks in advance
Jordi.

[PHP] CONSTANTS and good coding practice

Can someone explain to me the value of using defined custom constants,

I don't recall ever seeing define() used in the scripts I've seen and 
only the characteristics are described in the my php book and the php

Re: [PHP] Re: php and java applets

That was my original plan. The problem is that if someone works out the commands 
needed to
communicate with the php control page, they will be able to bypass the Java access 
control systems.
I suppose I could use https, but does that encrypt the url and post data?

[PHP] php cgi, apache suexec, filesystem problems

[Peter Risdon]

Hi,
I am having a lot of problems with any PHP routines that have to access 
the filesystem - things like exec(), shell_exec(), system(), backticked 
shell commands, copy(), move_uploaded_file() and so on.

I have a non-standard setup with CLI, CGI and mod_php all installed. 
These scripts are using the cgi php executable and the webserver is 
running suexec. I have confirmed that it isn't permissions issues both 
by running identical commands to those in the scripts from the uid in 
use by the suexec'd apache virtual host, and by blowing open permissions 
to 777 temporarily. No difference. Example code from the manual also fails.

Before I post a specific example to see if anyone can spot a problem in 
my code, does anyone know whether there's a fundamental problem with my 
server setup?

TIA.

[PHP] Re: CONSTANTS and good coding practice

[Craig]

Constants are useful when a variable will remain exactly the same (constant)
through
the life of a script.  e.g a script I wrote to calculate dates be it in the
past or future
would have constant values for how many seconds are in a day or a week. to
be used
in calculations.
e.g:

define("SECONDSINWEEK", 604800); // Number of seconds in week
 define("SECONDSINDAY", 86400); // Number of seconds in day
 $iDayOfWeek = 1; // 0 to 6 - 0 being Sunday
 $iNumWeeks = 12; // Number of weeks to lookback
 $iOffsetTimestamp = 0; // Initialize this var
 $iCurTime = time();
 $iCurDay = date("w", $iCurTime);

^^^ The above constants will always be what they are defined as. Constant
:-)
Also another advantage of using constants, is that it can make your code
easier
to read. Usually constant names are declare in uppercase, which helps to
break
up your code.

I haven't found anything more detailed on their site.  I just ended up looking 
at the scripts themselves.  They are just wrappers around the scripts that are 
part of the cpanel installation.  If you find more documentation, I'd love to 
know about it.

At this moment, I have access to some servers with the accounting libs

it work).
I didn't have to do anything with the fonts.  What problems are you having?
If anyone can post a link where to find good docs about this cpanel lib, 
and, if possible the source code for it, it will help me so much.
Here's a snippet:
  # cpanel idiotically outputs html rather than
  # programmatically-useful error codes.  Thus, we have to manipluate
  # the output before and after calling cpanel function.
  flush();
  ob_start();
  # You can get the $cpkey from the WHM.  The rest are yours to fill in.
  createacct( "localhost", "root", $cpkey, 0, $domain, $acctuser, $acctpass, 
"packagename" );
  ob_end_clean();

  # Now we check after the fact to see if account was created.
  # This is a VERY WEAK test, needs improvement.
  $accounts = listaccts( "localhost", "root", $cpkey , 0);
  $keys = array_keys( $accounts );
  $account_found = NULL;
  for( $i = 0; $i < count( $keys ); $i++ )
  {
  if( in_array( $domain, $accounts[$keys[$i]] ) )
  {
  $account_found = TRUE;
  break;
  }
  }
There are a few gotchas with this API.  For one thing, createacct() always 
returns the string "Account Creation Complete" no matter if the account was 
created or not.  You have to verify the creation some other way.

For another thing, the createacct() function writes directly to the output 
stream.  So all of the stuff you see when you create an account the normal way 
(using the Cpanel web interface) will be displayed unless you stop it.  That's 
what the flush() and the ob_* stuff does.

If you find more information, that would be great.  We can trade notes.

Travis

Constants are useful anywhere you find yourself typing a constant (i.e. 20,
'Ralph') and the value is used in more than one place in the code.  Say you
have a script that fetches 10 articles from a db, and then loads them into
an html table.  You could hard code the 10 into the sql statement, for loop,
while loop or what ever logic used to fetch and load the table. If you
instead used a constant, then when the client asks that the table now list
15 rows, all you need to do is change the value in one place in the code
instead of searching for 10 everywhere and evaluating if the 10 found has
anything to do with the logic. Arguably, you could use a variable for the
same purpose, but constants can't change value, and thus you protect
yourself from self inflicted coding injuries (as well as injection of values
over get, post, etc).

The only oddity I find in using constants in php, is that you can't use them
inside single or double quotes and always have to break out and use
concatenation.

ANYWHERE except in code you plan to eval().

Funny how get_defined_constants() knows about all your CONSTANTS, but
eval() doesn't.

I made this little function so I could use defined CONSTANTS in HTML
templates that get eval()'d.

function makeConstants() {
  foreach(get_defined_constants() as $k=>$v) $GLOBALS[$k] = $v;
}

Works fine:

define('A_DEFINE', 'This is defined value');
eval('echo A_DEFINE;');

You were trying to do this:

$val = "Defind {A_DEFINE}";
echo $val;

Which wont work. Only variables can be expanded inside strings.

Thank you for your help.

If(1==b) {

Another option would be to take advantage of conditional includes to bring
the code into the current script;
If(1==a) {
   include("this.php");
   exit;
}
If(1==b) {
include("that.php");
exit;
}
If(1==c) {
include("other.php");
}
Include will issue a warning if executed and the file does not exist.
Require is fatal if executed and the file does not exist.
You can, of course use;
if(file_exists("this.php")) include("this.php"); 

to suppress any warning at all.

Hi,
  I want program execution to go to one of several other files

For Example.

if (1==a)
  go to this .php file
if (1==b)
  go to that .php file
if (1==c)
  go to the other .php file
Thank you for your time.

Re: [PHP] php and java applets

Nah... Maybe we're both confused. Is this a java app you wrote or one 
that you found somewhere? If you know how to control the camera from 
java and you know how to work in java, you could build yourself a quick 
and dirty command-line java application, then feed it commands from php 
using exec or something similar.

Dear all knowing list,

What I though I could do was this: launch a java applet from a php

on the applet, a php page is loaded by the applet, sets the user 
session with the session id, then sends the control details back to 
the server and on to the camera.

I've given this a go with no luck. When I try to set the session id 
on the php script that the Java applet loads I get a permissions

sessions, is my method utterly implausible? Does anyone have any

[PHP] Where to change upload_tmp_dir ini setting

[Peter Risdon]

Hi,
This page:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php
tells me that upload_tmp_dir is of level PHP_INI_SYSTEM and can 
therefore only be altered in php.ini or httpd.conf

I want to be able to set this by virtual host. My httpd.conf s 
a directory which contains seperate files for each virtual host and in 
one of these I have added:


AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir "/path/to/upload/directory/"

... and it has absolutely no effect. I have restarted apache using 
apachectl graceful and stop/start but it makes no difference. Files 
uploaded using POST get put in /var/tmp

I also tried it with php_value instead of php_admin_value.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

[PHP] curl + ssl and invalid certificate

[Richard Davey]

Hi all,

This is a very specific problem so I'm not holding out too much luck,
but I am working on a script that must POST data to a secure server so
I'm using curl for this.

curl works perfectly including on ssl sites like PayPal.com - but the
test server I am connecting to has an invalid site certificate warning
come up (saying that the domain doesn't match the issuer, etc).

My PHP script is pretty straight forward and doesn't have much beyond
the standard setopts needed for curl but when I access it in a browser
it is actually causing Apache (2.0.49) on to crash!

Does anyone know how to get curl to accept the ssl cert *regardless*
of how ballsed-up it is?

If you want to do it the way you're doing now you should do ik like
this:
array_push($clients,
array($sql->getField('id')=>$sql->getField('fname')));

Another possible solution is like this:
$clients[$sql->getField('id')] = $sql->getField('fname');

I'm not sure about what you mean, cause these variables have other names
than before :-)

But what I think you mean is this:

foreach( $clients as $id => $name )
echo "{$name}";

Correct me if this isn't what you meant.

Re: [PHP] CONSTANTS and good coding practice

[Jordi Canals]

Al wrote:
Can someone explain to me the value of using defined custom constants, 
in the context of good coding practice.

I don't recall ever seeing define() used in the scripts I've seen and 
only the characteristics are described in the my php book and the php 
manual; but, not the use.

Talking about constants. I've seen the most scripts and web pages, (like 
some Open Source projects) They declare the database access values as 
vars not constants. I mean Username, Password, DataBase Name or Host.

In my point of view, this info is always constant on the script life, so 
it will be better to declare it as constants not as vars.

I normally declare as constants anything that will not change in the 
scripts life. Parhaps can change from one installation to another, but 
no more. Specially if I'm not completly sure that the value is correct 
for my purposes, I prefer to declare a constant and not directly write 
the value everywhere. It makes me easier to read and remember, and 
easier to change  in future if I need it.

For example, I think that :
if ($user_level == USR_LEVEL_WEBMASTER) {
// do stuff
}
is a lot easier to read and to imagine what we are looking for than:
if ($user_level == 255) {
// do stuff
}
Another way I use constants is when I want to pass to a function a sum 
of options. In this case imagine that function (Perhaps inside a class):

function draw_box($options) {
// do stuff
}
and this constants:
define('BOX_DRAW_BORDER', 1);
define('BOX_FILL_BACKGROUND', 2);
define('BOX_SHOW_TITLE', 4);
define('BOX_MAKE_LINKS' 8);
Then, I can call the function like this:
$box_options = BOX_DRAW_BORDER + BOX_FILL_BACKGROUND + BOX_MAKE_LINKS;
draw_box($box_options);
Finally, I normally use constants to declare all literal values that 
must be shown in the users browser. This is a need for me, beacuse in my 
country (Catalunya) we are bilinguals, and I have to be able to show 
literals in one or other language depending on the preferences. This 
makes scripts translation more easy, because I have all strings in one 
(or two) file.

I think, we should use constants always when we have a constant value 
(wich not will change on scrits' life).

Jordi.

[PHP] Sessions still do not persist

[Michael R. Wayne]

I've posted several times mentioning that I am completely unable
to cause sessions to persist.  Over the intervening time, I have
replicated this problem to a different machine, with the same
results.  Here's a recap of the problem.

I am not using cookies.  Sessions are automatically created (and
changing that makes no difference)  The relevant session variables
(copied from phpinfo) are:
   Session Support  enabled
   session.auto_start   On  <- hence no session_start 
   session.name PHPSESSID
   session.use_cookies  Off <- no cookies
   session.use_trans_sidOn

Environment is FreeBSD4.8.  phpinfo for apache says:
   Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) mod_perl/1.28 PHP/4.3.4 mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.6d 


Here is a cut/paste of the borwser screen for the code below:

   Stage:0 SessionID: 04ace04b1fe0bc81d2cd678c9bab1619 
   _ [Submit]
   Stage:1 SessionID: 04ace04b1fe0bc81d2cd678c9bab1619 Request: Array ( ) 

So I type "foo" into the box and hit submit.  And the session variable
is NOT preserved:

   Stage:0 SessionID: 55c70989b7279d6a18edfd81b28d67a6 
   foo___ [Submit]
   Stage:1 SessionID: 55c70989b7279d6a18edfd81b28d67a6 Request: Array ( [PHPSESSID] => 
04ace04b1fe0bc81d2cd678c9bab1619 [field] => foo ) 

The session directory IS writable and I see the expected information
being written there:
   -rw---  1 nobody   wheel  10 May 21 13:35 
sess_04ace04b1fe0bc81d2cd678c9bab1619
   -rw---  1 nobody   wheel  10 May 21 13:38 
sess_55c70989b7279d6a18edfd81b28d67a6

Apache runs as user "nobody" on this server.  Both session files contain:
   stage|i:1;
but the files never seem to be being read back!

Help!?

Try a session_start() at the top of pages, see if that works.
Maybe the auto_start does not work.

So session.use_trans_sid used to work with forms in 4.1.2 (I'm

This ALMOST works.  Looks like a seperator is needed.  I get:

Sorry, I'm an idiot! The ? was missing:



This should work. As far as I have seen trans_sid is not used very often -
obviously because of problems like yours. The best way is always to pass the
session ID yourself. Either with a cookie or via GET. I prefer GET because
with cookies you are reliant on the client supporting/allowing cookies.

[PHP] what is the preferred method for outputting HTML?

[Bob Lockie]

PERL has the CGI library to build HTML.
print header;
print start_html('A Simple Example'),
h1('A Simple Example'),
start_form,
"What's your name? ",textfield('name'),
p,
"What's the combination?",
p,
checkbox_group(-name=>'words',
   -values=>['eenie','meenie','minie','moe'],
   -defaults=>['eenie','minie']),
p,
"What's your favorite color? ",
popup_menu(-name=>'color',
   -values=>['red','green','blue','chartreuse']),
p,
submit,
end_form,
hr;
Does PHP have something similar or do I have to write the raw HTML?

[PHP] MDB2 and single INSERT statement, prepare+execute or just query?

[Michael Hanney]

Hello,

I am ditching my own DB abstraction class in favour of MDB2.
When I need to do a sinlge INSERT, should I use MDB2_Driver_Common->prepare
like this..
$prep = $this->mdb2->prepare('INSERT INTO test (test_id, name) values
(?,?)', $types);
$result = $this->mdb2->executeParams($prep, $types, $data);
OR should I simply use MDB2_Driver_Common->query($sql)..
$res = $this->mdb2->query($sql);
where the $sql contains the pre-formatted INSERT statement? What I really
want to know is - does the prepare method offer any compatibility advantage
(escaping depending on types?),
or is it just for speeding up multiple inserts i.e. prepare once, execute
many. The docs explain how, but not always why. Inserts don't happen very
often in my apps so compatibility accross multiple dbs is more important to
me than speed. Finally, is this the right place to ask questions about MDB2,
or is there a more specific group for discussing Pear projects?

Thanks a lot.

You have to write the raw HTML, altough you have several packages from
the pear packages who deal with some specific html things, e.g. forms

Thank you, thank you.  This does indeed seem to work in my test script.

Oddly, this all worked properly under 4.1.2.  When we upgraded,
things broke.  And I have a strong personal bias against cookies.

One again, thank you for the solution!

[PHP] Re: how to verify PHP has been installed with ldap?

[PHPDiscuss - PHP Newsgroups and mailing lists]

Bing,

Run 


If you don't see a section for LDAP, it's not installed.
In a Windows XP, PHP 4.3.6 environment, installed in C:/Program
Files/PHP,I had to change a working default installation as follows to get
it to work:

Add to php.ini:
extension_dir = C:/Program Files/PHP/extensions/  
extension=php_ldap.dll
ldap.max_links = -1

Copy C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini   to C:\WINDOWS 

Restart Apache to make sure your new ini file controls. You should see the
options in your ini file reflected in the phpinfo display.
 
Copy C:\Program Files\PHP\php4ts.dll   to C:\WINDOWS.

Copy from C:\Program Files\PHP\extensions  to  C:\Windows\System32
php_ldap.dll
libeay32.dll
ssleay32.dll 

Copy all the dlls in C:/Program Files to C:\Windows\System32

Good luck!

You could try it without session.auto_start. Turn it off and put
session_start() at the top of the script (in all pages).

Tried that - makes no difference.  Still works properly on the second
call but not the first.

[PHP] session_start in php 4.3.6

[Paul Godard]

Hi

All my web sites suddenly stopped working after my ISP installed the newer php 4.3.6 
released.  The problem is when calling the session_start() function.  It seems that 
the warning message saying that the session has already started and that the function 
will be ignored makes the php script stop at this point although it is a warning.  
This worked perfectly in php 4.3.4.

What should I do to be compatible with php 4.3.6?

This is because your ISP has likely set 
   session.auto_start = 1
in php.ini

Either have the ISP set it to 0 or remove all session_start calls
from your scripts to eliminate the warnings.

[PHP] grabbing string from URL if URL is masked/forwarded

[Ryan Schefke]

I've tried this code and it works wonders.  

 

$string = "/tgwedding/users/client1/sites/testgrabid.php";
$thisarray = explode("/", $string);
foreach($thisarray as $item) {
  if(ereg('client', $item)) {
 $found = $item;
 $num = ereg_replace('client', '', $found);
  }
}

echo $num;

 

/// the above script will echo "1" from the string
(plan to substitute that string with $PHP_SELF

 

 

But I'm wondering if it will work when I setup a domain name with a
registrar and have that domain name MASKED and FORWARDED to a URL directory
that contains "/tgwedding/users/client1/sites/testgrabid.php".

 

Will this still work or will it not detect the "client1" in the string
because the URL is masked/forwarded.

 

I guess the question is with $PHP_SELF toowhen you echo $PHP_SELF in a
script that is run from a masked domain name will it echo the real directory
URL or the masked one.

 

Thanks,

Ryan

It seems php isn't picking up that session that is in $_REQUEST..
which part of request is that variable in? do this?

  print_r($_GET);
  print_r($_POST);
  print_r($_COOKIE);

Also, is the PHPSESSID being written in the form output somewhere?

[PHP] Newbie error with cookies and headers already declared

[GodFoca]

I'm getting this error:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output
started at /home/tiempodemaria/main.php:3) in /home/tiempodemaria/main.php
on line 11

With this code in "main.php":







.

Does anybody knows what's going on? I don't understand which header is being
sent before the setting of the cookie, and I don't understand the ":3" in
the error description. This page is a frame, so I don't have any head tag,
does that matter to php?

Thanks in advance,

headers != 

it's basically this:

1. you cannot create/write a cookie after you send any html output to
the client.
2. you cannot create/write a session value after you send any html
output to the client.

for one, you've got  at the very top of main.php. try rearranging

Re: [PHP] Cpanel accounting library

I'm working on some scripts to manage the [cpanel] accounts directly 
from PHP (Scripts will be GNU/GPL licensed).

After STFW, I've not found any good documentation on it, just the 
short samples on http://www.cpanel.net/remoteaccess-php.html

I haven't found anything more detailed on their site.  I just ended up 
looking at the scripts themselves.  They are just wrappers around the 
scripts that are part of the cpanel installation.  If you find more 
documentation, I'd love to know about it.

At this moment, I have access to some servers with the accounting libs 
installed, but I have no access to the fonts (Which could help to make 
it work).
I didn't have to do anything with the fonts.  What problems are you having?
If anyone can post a link where to find good docs about this cpanel 
lib, and, if possible the source code for it, it will help me so much.

Here's a snippet:
  # cpanel idiotically outputs html rather than
  # programmatically-useful error codes.  Thus, we have to manipluate
  # the output before and after calling cpanel function.
  flush();
  ob_start();
  # You can get the $cpkey from the WHM.  The rest are yours to fill in.
  createacct( "localhost", "root", $cpkey, 0, $domain, $acctuser, 
$acctpass, "packagename" );
  ob_end_clean();

  # Now we check after the fact to see if account was created.
  # This is a VERY WEAK test, needs improvement.
  $accounts = listaccts( "localhost", "root", $cpkey , 0);
  $keys = array_keys( $accounts );
  $account_found = NULL;
  for( $i = 0; $i < count( $keys ); $i++ )
  {
  if( in_array( $domain, $accounts[$keys[$i]] ) )
  {
  $account_found = TRUE;
  break;
  }
  }
There are a few gotchas with this API.  For one thing, createacct() 
always returns the string "Account Creation Complete" no matter if the 
account was created or not.  You have to verify the creation some other 
way.

For another thing, the createacct() function writes directly to the 
output stream.  So all of the stuff you see when you create an account 
the normal way (using the Cpanel web interface) will be displayed unless 
you stop it.  That's what the flush() and the ob_* stuff does.

If you find more information, that would be great.  We can trade notes.
Thanks for your comments. At the moment I've just made a couple of 
tests, and my main problem is where fo find some info about it to be 
sure I will manage in the correct way.

I will continue looking for any document. It's not an urgent matter 
because is for a long time project ;)

Thanks again,
Jordi.

[PHP] Cannot Get Session Variables nor Global variables to work

[Joe Carr]

Help. I am missing a MAJOR aspect of using either Session variables or
global variables. I am trying to set one variable on one page, and read it
on the other _without_ sending any information in the query string. Here is
the code for the two pages :

test1.php :

step 2

and test2.php looks like this:
";
 echo "HELP=". $GLOBALS["help"];
 echo "HELP2=". $GLOBALS["help2"];
?>

On test2.php, each of the echo statements indicate that the variables have
not been defined. I've read many posts which indicate that I should pass the
PHPSESSID through the query string, but when I look at the PHPSESSID in the
global array printed it is the same on both pages. I cannot seem to have
access to either session nor global variables outside the context of one
page. Any assistance would be fascinatingly appreciated. Thanks...

Re: [PHP] Cannot Get Session Variables nor Global variables to work

[Jordi Canals]

You need to place session_start() at the top of test2.php.
If you use session_start, you should not use using session_register(), 
just use $_SESSION. From Manual:  "If you are using $_SESSION and 
disable register_globals, do not use session_register(), 
session_is_registered() and session_unregister()"

Globals are limited to the scope of current script and do not carry the 
values betwen pages. You cannot pass values betwen scripts using 
globals. Use $_SESSION or cookies if you do not want to use get or post 
variables.

Take a look at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php

Jordi.

[PHP] iconv with UTF-7-IMAP support

[Bjai]

I have recently found someone that has written a patch for iconv library to
support UTF-7-IMAP encoding (http://www.technoids.org/utf7imap/index.html).
Within the patching instruction it is required to edit the iconv library
file of PHP in order to handle idiosncrasies #2 (there is an example of
editing the Perl equivalent file), in that the end-of-string in UTF-7 IMAP
must include bytes that set the encoding back to the US-ASCII state (with a
hyphen). However I am a newbie in C programming and I have tried to edit the
iconv.c file without success. I would very much appreciate if someone could
give me some help in applying the changes so that the iconv library of PHP
can handle UTF-7 IMAP encoding.

To summarize I think it is required to add a null character to end each
UTF-7 IMAP encoded character:

result = iconv(cd, (char **) NULL, &in_left, (char **) &out_p, &out_left);

I have made several attempts to add the above line into the php_iconv_string
function, but it didn't work (compiling is ok).

I would very much appreciate if someone could provide some advice or help in
the above.

Thank you in advance

Bjai

[PHP] Searching a file

[Ian Barnes]

Hi,

I have a file that looks like this:

#gc: Ian
eth0,1000,1100,1200,1300,1400
eth1,10,100,200
eth2,3000,3100,3200,3300

Okay, the numbers after the ethx are not static, there can be more and there
can be less depending on what the user selects.

Now my problem, I have a list of numbers that they can choose using
checkboxes, and I now want the checkboxes to be ticked if  the number+ethx
appear in the file.

How would I go about reading the file and then finding out if the
number+ethx are there ? I have tried something like this:
[code]
$file=file("/ian/testing.file");//Load the file into array
unset($file[0]);//Remove the first #gc line
foreach($file as $line){// Run through each array line
$array[]=explode(",", $line);   //Separate each line in key/variable.
}
[/code]
This gives me an output something like this (Dont take note of numbers, they
change per user:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => eth0
[1] => 1100
[2] => 1200
[3] => 1300
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => eth1
[1] => 1100
[2] => 1200
[3] => 1300
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => eth2
[1] => 40
[2] => 50
[3] => 60
)
)

Okay, now for the difficult part. I run a global foreach($eth as $whatever)
to run through each eth and then another foreach loop within that to
determine the numbers for each eth. Great, that works no problem. Now when
it comes to the part of comparing that the eth+number are in the same array
(to determine wether the checkbox must be ticked or not) I cant figure out
how todo it. I have tried various options like.
[code]
foreach($file as $line){
if((in_array("1100", $line)) and (in_array("eth0", $line))){
echo "Found eth0 and 1100 in array. Checkbox can be checked";
}else{
echo "Not found";
}
}
[/code]

Now obviously, the first line should be returned as true, as eth0 and 1000
are in the same array. But it doesnt. It returns false the whole time. The
problem is that the ethx+number must be in the SAME array not only in the
whole global array, otherwise checkboxes that show up ticked are actually
not going to be in the file. Oh the page where you select is layed out
something like the diagram below. (Note there can be more numbers per ethx
these are just examples.

eth0
1000[]
1100[]
1200[]
1300[]
1400[]
6000[]
6500[]
2300[]
eth1
40  []
50  []
60  []
1000[]
eth2
1100[]
1200[]
1300[]

I hope I have not confused you now, please ask if something isnt clear.

Thanks a million for the help.

Ian
