Ah, yes -- sorry.  Something in your original post must have made me think you just 
wanted the number of ways, not the actual permutations.  (And, in any case, I don't 
think this *is* actually a permutation, so I think I was doubly trigger happy!)

I've been fiddling with this for half an hour or so, and I'm pretty convinced the 
solution is going to involve a recursive function.  However, it might help if you 
could say exactly what you want as a result: printed out (in a format similar to the 
above), inserted into a database (how?), or some sort of PHP data structure (such as a 
multi-level array) containing all the possible results?

Don't guarantee to come up with a final (or even an approximate!) solution, but 
knowing what you're trying to work towards would help...!

Cheers!

Very hard (impossible) to control user activities by php-scripting. You are
talking about client-side actions while php is only server-side. You should

[PHP] Unexpected behaviuor with __CLASS__

[Torsten Roehr]

Hi list,

on RedHat with PHP 4.3.6 the following code produces 'test' - I'm expecting
'test2':

class test {
function printClass() {
echo __CLASS__;
}
}

class test2 extends test {
}

test2::printClass();


I would like to get/echo the name of the class calling the method - in my
case test2. Any ideas?

If you were using objects rather than class methods you could replace
__CLASS__ with  get_class($this) ...but you're not.

you could use debug_backtrace()

function printClass()
{
   $details = array_shift(debug_backtrace());
   print $details['class'];
}

Do the update with conditions (this is a SQL question)

UPDATE `tblFOO` SET `bar` = 'a_value' WHERE `barID` = '227098762' 

will only update the record(s) where barID is  227098762

Hi Robin,

thanks! That will be a workaround for my problem. Unfortunately I can't use
get_class() because I need to work with static methods here. I've got a
factory method in my base class for creating objects and I don't want to
pass the name of the class as a parameter.

Thanks and best regards,

You don't say what database you're using.

The general way is to use a unique key in the WHERE clause.

   UPDATE tablename SET foo=1 WHERE id=123

MySQL also lets you use a LIMIT clause that will either limit the
number of rows affected by the update, or matched by the WHERE clause
depending on the MySQL version.

  UPDATE tablename SET foo=1 WHERE bar=2 LIMIT 1

[PHP] Search Sanitization

[Gabe]

I'm writing a *very* simple search form for my db and was interested in 
hearing some recommendations on what to check for with the user's input 
for the search.

However, I guess more specifically my question is if anyone had any 
advice as to other things I should check since it's a search form. 
Obviously there's a lot more valid entries that a user can make than a 
normal form where you might know more specifically what they should 
enter and thus your validation can be more stringent.

Any advice?
Thanks!

The LIMIT clause is perfect but is that standard SQL?
I am using MySQL right now but it will be run on another database 
eventually.

You've gotten several answers for this already. But you really should be using

Depends on what web server software you're using.  Mine are in

Well, for starters you should definately check and prevent SQL
injection.  I use this in all my scripts:

set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 0){
   $_GET = isset($_GET) ? array_map("slashes", $_GET) : array();
   $_POST  = isset($_POST) ? array_map("slashes", $_POST) : array();
   $_COOKIE = isset($_COOKIE) ? array_map("slashes", $_COOKIE) : array();
}

function slashes($var){
if(is_array($var))
return array_map("slashes", $var);
else
return addslashes($var);
}

[PHP] PHP & MySQL DATE comparison

[Ryan Schefke]

Hello,

 

I'm pulling a date in the "datetime" format via a MySQL query.  Using PHP I
would like to check if that date is prior to today's date.  Can someone
please help with this quick question.

 

Thanks,

Ryan

If your table has a primary key, or auto increment field works well and is
quick.

You could convert it to a timestamp via strtotime() and check it against
time():

$date = strtotime($dateFromDb);

if ($date < time()) {
echo 'Date is in the past.';
}

RE: [PHP] PHP & MySQL DATE comparison

[Ryan Schefke]

Hi All,

Answering my own question here, maybe this will help others out:

I found a nifty function below that will return seconds from Unix epoch to a
mysql value in the datetime format.  I'll just compare this to the php
function time().  Let me know if anyone has a better solution.

Depends on what web server software you're using.  Mine are in

although i don't have an answer specifically, you might try having your
webserver process .js and .css files just like it would .php files. that
way you can use the correct extensions in your html and *still* have the
web server do what you want it to do.

Yes, it appears to be looking for "/var/www/html/<".

Going back to your original post, this line is where your problem is:


I'm not even sure that's remotely valid PHP or HTML.

RE: [PHP] src="test.php"

I don't think there is a standard for the extensions of these files. In 
fact, this page: http://www.w3c.org/TR/CSS1#basic-concepts
uses a url of "http://style.com/cool"; as an example of an external style sheet.

Also, I use a .php file as a javascript include on my site. The script is 
included on other websites as a js include as well so others can see what's 
new on my site.
I haven't had any problems or complaints so far.

Try accessing it via $_GET['page']. You can always do a print_r($_REQUEST)
to see which variables are available.

How are you testing for the variable on nav.php? It will be in $_GET
['page'] with more recent versions of PHP. If you want to use the variable 
directly, like $page, you need to extract it first - extract($_GET).

Obviously there's a lot more valid entries that a user can make than a

enter and thus your validation can be more stringent.

Well, for starters you should definately check and prevent SQL
injection.  I use this in all my scripts:
set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 0){
   $_GET = isset($_GET) ? array_map("slashes", $_GET) : array();
   $_POST  = isset($_POST) ? array_map("slashes", $_POST) : array();
   $_COOKIE = isset($_COOKIE) ? array_map("slashes", $_COOKIE) : array();
}
function slashes($var){
if(is_array($var))
return array_map("slashes", $var);
else
return addslashes($var);
}
Hi Greg, I was looking at your function and I was wondering if you could 
 explain how the slashes function works exactly.  It looks like it is 
recursive, but I don't understand why you would need to do that.

Your problem is likely with the following line, which reads the *entire* 
file into an array:

$fcontents = file($filename);

You're also opening and closing a file handle, but never using it. Use 
fread after fopen instead of the "file" function.  You'll have to decide on 
a byte limit instead of a line limit, though.

}

True ! I just tested it with both eval and $$, and $$ seems to be about 3 to 4 
times
faster than eval BUT if you are processing less than 1 variables then there is
no noticeable difference.
Sorry I suggested eval!
but I think it is easier to read the program when using eval as it is more eye
catching than just an extra $ that is easily missed.
Well, eval can also easily be a security vulnerability... Using $$x 
means that you *will* be using $x as the var name. Consider this:

$x = 'varName; `rm -rf /`';
eval("\$y = \$$x;");
This will produce the PHP code:
$y = $varName; `rm -rf /`';
Which will be evaled and delete files from your system.
$y = $$x; will take the value of the variable with the name of what's in 
$x. You can even do:

$x = '"I am an invalid var name!"';
$$x = 'abc';
$y = $$x;
Even though what's in x isn't a valid normal variable name, this will 
work. Strange, huh?

AFAIK the eval code looks very similar to my code as it also has $$. 
IMHO, it's harder to read eval code.

It handles regular form variables as well as arrays.

So if your form had an array of checkboxes coming in via $_POST for
example, it will handle it.

I'm not familiar with using COM("WinNT://domain") but I've done quite a

you're working with a specific application like this, search for 
"mappoint data model" or "mappoint object model".

Here's the one for MapPoint:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/mappoint2004/BIZOMAboutOM.asp
You can probably find what you're looking for in that general area. 
Some object models are written better than others.

[PHP] Include Issues

[Stephen Craton]

I have a script that calls a function called conbox. This function creates
the HTML to a content box and you also pass a file to be included into the
content area of the box.
 
The function echos out some of the HTML, then does a simple include(), and
then echos out the rest of the HTML.
 
I'm trying to do this with another file containing PHP code and HTML
together, it's a file that fetches and displays information from a database.
The file is fine by itself, but once I include it into the actual content
box, it does a die(). I have it set to do that if there's a MySQL error, but
it doesn't output any error at all, and the file works by itself. Here is
the code that fetches from the database:



And here's where it displays:


  

  


This is fine, completely fine, by itself (if I include the database
credentials of course, but if I leave that include in there, it still won't
work). I've already included that file into the file it's being included
into anyway so it should work, but it simply isn't. Here's the conbox
function with less of the echo:

function conbox($title, $contentfile, $content, $width, $height) {
echo 'Stuff...';
if($content == '') {
if([EMAIL PROTECTED]($contentfile)) {
echo 'content unavailable';
}
}
if($content != '') {
echo ''.$content.'';
}
echo'stuff';
}

Like I said, all the database credentials and everything is included into
the final file, but it simply won't work. Any ideas here?

[PHP] Resolving a warning

[Ryan Schefke]

Hi All,

 

I've built my own shopping cart and use a library supplied by USAePay.  The
library is accessed via an include statement in my code.  Because of theirs
a desire to keep this library outside of my public web file directory
USAePay recommended using:

 

include "/usr/local/lib/php/usaepay.php";

 

I put the file "usaepay.php" in that directory (using a dedicated linux box
with root access) and run my script with the above include.  I get the
following: 

 

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(/usr/local/lib/php/usaepay.php) is not within the allowed path(s):
(/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/payment7.php on line 11

 

How can I resolve this?

Ryan

You're probably running into a namespace issue here. The global 
variables that you're trying to use for mysql_select_db aren't in the 
namespace of the function that's including the file.

I would suggest using a better (OOP) system to get around this. Barring 
that, the best way IMHO is to use $GLOBALS['database_default'], etc. for 
the vars in the include that are created globally.

This will make your script consume lots of memory, and is very
inefficient.

You'd be better of using the unix tail command:

$fp = popen("/usr/bin/tail -$limit $file", 'r');
if (! $fp ) {
  echo 'unable to pipe command';
}
while (!feof($fp) ) {
  $line = fgets($fp);
  print $line;
}

Of course if you're simply going to output the results a simple:

  system("/usr/bin/tail -$limit $file");

Would do the job nicely.

Actually you're better off not hard coding that path. A simple

Two things:
1. which is probably already set, is to make sure your include_path 
   has /usr/local/lib/php  in listed in it as the first item.
2. add to open_basedir: /usr/local/lib/php

You'll be all set.

The library must be either under 
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs or /tmp. /tmp is out of 
question, so the only directory left is your docroot. But as you are 
saing you are root on the server, you can change open_basedir setting to 
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com:/tmp and put the library to 
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/usepay/ directory.

[PHP] imagecolortransparent & IE

[Brian Krausz]

Hi, I have been working to create a program that takes a user-uploaded 
background image, a little alpha blending, some data, and a pinch of 
fairy dust, and outputs a nice image.  I have had trouble with the image 
displaying properly in Internet Explorer.  An example:

http://ffxi.nerdlife.net/ffxi.php?id=1
If you open it in any non-IE browser, it looks fine, but if you open it 
in IE, the gray background is not made transparent.

My question is, how can I fix this, and if I can't, is there any 
alternative for making a transparent background.  Here's my code snipplet:

$color = ImageColorAt($im, 1, 1);
imagecolortransparent($im, $color);
Also, I output the file as a png file, but I don't care what it is 
output as (although my server for some reason doesn't recognize 
ImageGif...):

header("Content-Type: image/png");
Imagepng($im);
Any advice?
Thanks,
Brian

[PHP] session looses variable

[Anthony Weston]

Hi,

This is what is probably a newbie session problem.

I've been having some trouble with sessions on php 4.0.6, I'm developing 
a website in which I don't have direct control over the server.  Due to 
some other problems I created a test counter script to try to narrow 
down where the problem resides but no I'm sort of stuck.

Here is the small counter script.

session_start();
print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);
if (!session_is_registered('count2345')) {
$GLOBALS['count2345'] = 0;
echo "create count";
session_register('count2345');
} else {
$count2345++;
}
echo "";
echo session_id();
session_write_close();

When I refresh it will periodically loose the count2345 session variable 
and recreate the variable.  At times it will also jump in value.

Here are also the php configuration session settings.

session.auto_start  Off Off
session.cache_expire 180 180
session.cache_limiter   nocache nocache
session.cookie_domain   no valueno value
session.cookie_lifetime 00
session.cookie_path  //
session.cookie_secure   Off Off
session.entropy_fileno valueno value
session.entropy_length  00
session.gc_maxlifetime  1440 1440
session.gc_probability  11
session.name PHPSESSID   PHPSESSID
session.referer_check   no valueno value
session.save_handler files   files
session.save_path/tmp/tmp
session.serialize_handler php   php
session.use_cookies  On   On

Here is also the compile configuration which includes --enable-trans-sid
 './configure' '--disable-pear' '--enable-ftp' 
'--with-sybase-ct=/usr/local/freetds' '--enable-trans-sid' 
'--enable-force-cgi-redirect'

Thank you
