[PHP] MYSQL translator
Dear All subscribers, I wish to submit to you a PHP class I coded to translate native language parsed queries into SQL syntax ones. The main goal of this class is the implementation into web-based applications for letting final users/customers input their own defined queries without knowing sql syntax strictly. This goes into the direction of giving wider flexibility to sql users. Native language queries really look like everyday input requests. Class still supports French and Italian, but I look forward to find helpers to supply other languages. So you are invited to visit this link http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2449.html for further infos, as well as the class code, examples, shots to preview how it works and a short tutorial. For those who would like helping me to provide new language, I'm going to write down a PDF document for listing the general features, the properties of all entries to lessen the creation of new related dictionaries.

What I notice is that the first error says it's on line 15, then you
give lines 15 and 16 in the second example but line 15 doesn't have "id"
in it. Are you sure your looking at the right lines? Try posting the
whole script and maybe someone can catch the problem.
I always use

it takes care of empty variables and variables that haven't been set at

[PHP] Limit emails from servers & recommend a control panel (most prolly 0T)
Hi, A client of mine wants to offer freehosting to tech companies in Sweden. (He plans to take a dedicated *unix server) 1) The main problem with offering hosting is there are some SOBs who will use that account to spam, so he asked me if it is possible to limit the amount of emails from each account? eg: Max 1 email every 10 or 20 seconds from each account by doing this it would be easier to shut down the spamming account before any real damage is done and it also wont be too attractive to spammers to host with him. Any ideas how this can be done? 2) The server will be given to us without any control panel, cpanel costs a bit every month, can anyone recommend a good control panel that is free and would give us control to offer hosting to others (eg Plesk/WHM) Thanks, Ryan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi,
I must admit I am surprised at the paucity of date and time
functions in PHP.
I have a date stored in a MySQL database in field of datatype date.
PHP doesn't seem to have a function I can use to format it for
print. I tried the following but regardless of the value in the
date field, it displays as 'Wednesday December 31, 1969' (I know
this is the day before the UNIX epoch.).
echo ''.date('l F j, Y',$start_date).'';
I tried casting the field to datetime, but it didn't pass the
parser. Finally I did the following, which seems to work, but is
awfully convoluted:
echo 'Date: '.date('l F j, Y',strtotime($start_date).'';
The other thing I'm concerned about is that strtotime takes the
locale into consideration. I don't want it adjusting the date - I
just want it printed out.
Is there a better way to do this?

The code which works is this:

questions.q_style=1";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
//now one-by-one go through the questions
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
//if the form has been submitted, and the question
unanswered
//highlight this whole question and answer block in red.
if ($message[$row['q_name']] == 1){
How does this funtion have access to $message? You need to a) make it
global or b) pass it in.
echo "";
}
//Make a question set div wrapper
echo "\n";
//State the question
echo "";
echo $row['q_text'] . "";
echo "\n\n";
echo " ";
echo "\n";
//Create the dropdown for the answers
echo ' ';
echo "\n";
//get all of the answers for THIS question
$ans_sql = "select * from answers where answers.q_id=" .
$row['q_id'];
$ans_result = mysql_query($ans_sql);
echo "Select from this list\n";
while($ans_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ans_result)) {
//list the answers for THIS question
echo "" . $ans_row['a_answer'] . "";
echo "\n";
}
echo ' ' . "\n" . ' ' . "\n";
echo "\n\n";
//If there *was* an error div, close it
if (sizeof($message[$row['q_name']])){
echo "";
}
}
}//function GetQuestionsDropdown
NOW I have to validate after it's submitted. I am trying to look and
see, if $_POST[$row['q_name']] is empty then make message of the same
name = 1, so if
if(empty($_POST['partners'])) {
$message['partners'] = '1'
}
Then when I restate the dropdown function, and it shows the questions
again, those error checking things I built in will
a) show a div class=error around questions with a message
b) pre-select the previously selected answers (because I have put
in the thing in the dropdown which says
if ($row['q_name'] == $ans_row['a_id']) { echo " selected";}
The validate code I was trying, the subject of such howling on IRC
(and I know it doesn't work, but not why) was:
function ValidatePost($cat){
//first get the q_names
$sql = "SELECT * FROM questions WHERE q_cat=$cat";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
//go through the question set
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
if(empty($_POST[$row['q_name']])){
$message[$row['q_name']] == "1";
You want $message = "1" here. = = is for comparison.
You're setting $message inside a function. This means it doesn't exist
outside this scope!
}
}
}//function ValidatePost
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!
JJ
Hope this helps you get somewhere,

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
//if the form has been submitted, and the question
unanswered
//highlight this whole question and answer block in red.
if ($message[$row['q_name']] == 1){
How does this funtion have access to $message? You need to a) make it
global or b) pass it in.
echo "";
}
//Make a question set div wrapper
echo "\n";
//State the question
echo "";
echo $row['q_text'] . "";
echo "\n\n";
echo " ";
echo "\n";
//Create the dropdown for the answers
echo ' ';
echo "\n";
//get all of the answers for THIS question
$ans_sql = "select * from answers where answers.q_id=" .
$row['q_id'];
$ans_result = mysql_query($ans_sql);
echo "Select from this list\n";
while($ans_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ans_result)) {
//list the answers for THIS question
echo "" . $ans_row['a_answer'] . "";
echo "\n";
}
echo ' ' . "\n" . ' ' . "\n";
echo "\n\n";
//If there *was* an error div, close it
if (sizeof($message[$row['q_name']])){
echo "";
}
}
}//function GetQuestionsDropdown
NOW I have to validate after it's submitted. I am trying to look and
see, if $_POST[$row['q_name']] is empty then make message of the same
name = 1, so if
if(empty($_POST['partners'])) {
$message['partners'] = '1'
}
Then when I restate the dropdown function, and it shows the questions
again, those error checking things I built in will
a) show a div class=error around questions with a message
b) pre-select the previously selected answers (because I have put
in the thing in the dropdown which says
if ($row['q_name'] == $ans_row['a_id']) { echo " selected";}
The validate code I was trying, the subject of such howling on IRC
(and I know it doesn't work, but not why) was:
function ValidatePost($cat){
//first get the q_names
$sql = "SELECT * FROM questions WHERE q_cat=$cat";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
//go through the question set
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
if(empty($_POST[$row['q_name']])){
$message[$row['q_name']] == "1";
You want $message = "1" here. = = is for comparison.
You're setting $message inside a function. This means it doesn't exist
outside this scope!
}
}
}//function ValidatePost
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

You can pass those names in a hidden input field in the form,
something like this:
--
Yes, or you can make your life easier and use radio buttons instead - the
name:value is always passed without any need for the messing about which
checkboxes bring. However, if you wish to use checkboxes, Jochem and Dotan
are showing you the way.

Oh, how I wish I were smoking something :) !
no you don't, you want to go home and rethink your life ;-)
imagine you have 10 checkboxes named 'cb1' thru 'cb10' each with a
value of '1',
upon submitting the form they are in, your script sees the following
in the $_POST
array...
$_POST = array('cb1' => '1', 'cb9' => '1', 'cb10' => '1');
which tells you 3 checkboxes were checked... namely 'cb1', 'cb9' and
'cb10'
now how hard is it to determine which we're not checked?
Well, for me, it is - because I don't know the names of the other check
boxes which were not checked because they were dynamically created, and
you wouldn't be the one who wrote the script that creates them dynamically
would you?
and if you hit the same URL 100 times you get the same checkboxes? (i.e. its
checkbox output is reproducable) ... of so you have the basis for dynamically
checking which
checkboxes where presented to the user by using the same logic/algorithm to
check for there exist on submit as you use to generate them in the first place.
if your smart/able (and it's posible) you will wrap this logic up in some kind
of function in order to not duplicate code/logic...
in fact you could just store all the names of these checkboxes in a
multidimensional
array in the session when you create them and use that as the basis to check
for [non]existance.
I don't have the knowledge sufficient to pass the NAMES of all
???
checkboxes through to $_POST so that I can search through and see which
have been answered and which ones not.
why is it important to know what was not checked?
maybe I'm not seeing the problem but I get the impression that you are
over complicating things regarding checkbox.
As always this is hugely possible.

I'm sure something like this has already been written and I'd hate to redesign the wheel. I've searched google but came up empty and am wondering if any of you guys have what I am looking for. Basically I need a function that will convert a time from one time zone to another.

[PHP] php script calling another one (on different machine), session variables
I have two Windows machines. machine A has apache/mysql/php (main host) machine B has apache/media server (secondary host for high bandwidth media such as video) I have admin tools (written in PHP and using sesson variables) on A which allows for updating of the database with pictures and such. The admin tools also allows you to delete records. When the user deletes a record using the admin tools on machine A, I also want to delete some media files on machine B. At this point, I figured that I should have my admin tools call a PHP script on machine B to delete files from the B's filesystem. I did a search online and it seems that I should use a header() call to call the PHP script on machine B. But what if I want to RETURN the user to the admin tools?

Um.. No. You use header when you want to pass additional headers to
the browser, that is downloading your content. An example of this
would be when you want to serve up a PNG image, instead of html, you
would use header("Content-type: image/png")
You can use a header to redirect a user to scripts on another system.
To do this you would pass a location header header("Location:
serverb.com/whatever")
If you want to call a script on machine B, then you can either simply
use file handling functions eg: fopen("http://machineb/page.php";), or
www.php.net/curl

Do the two machines share a common domain name? are your machines for
example boxa.commondomain.com and boxb.commondomain.com if so then you
can have the cookies(which hold the session tracking number) operate
at the commondomain.com level. All you have to do then is configure
one machine to get session files from the other.
Otherwise you can use session.use_trans_sid and add the SID to the url
when you header("Location")
In windows you could do this by setting up a share containing the
session files, and modding your php.ini file to reflect that the
session info is stored in this file.
If you don't have admin access to your boxes, then you could write a
session handler on one of the systems to dl the necessary sesssion
info on demand. For more info see
Having that said, it seems to be a fairly common requirement - so
there may be a cleaner solution to the one I have outlined here. I've
just never needed it - so therefore I've never come across it.

It'd have to be in the form of a form and you'd need to add values to the options, wrap it inside form tags, specify a method like $_POST or $_GET, error check and then send.

I would have thought that a "php -h" or "man php" would have given me the answer to that one. And since the poster said that he needed that to run the program, it never occurred to me that it was for "quiet" since that should not hinder him from running a program. Just keep him from getting a bunch of output. Of course, I might have total mis-understood him too. I have to much going on right now to remember. Anyway, thanks.

Re: [PHP] returning info. from a form selection
Hi . ! what you want it's recive values from a "select". !!! First a select input send ( when the form is submitted ), the value of the selected item, then the php script that it's the form action recive, a on post or get a variable with the name of the select input with this value. Then you have: This the html source Purchase Construct Home On the php source: That it's all. > > > On 8/1/05, Bruce Gilbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > can anyone give me an idea on how to return info. from a forl pulldown menu > > > > eg: > > > > > name="loan_process"> > >> selected="selected">Purchase > >> value="">Construct Home > > > > > > > > and return that to an email address. > > > > > > thanks > > > > > > > > -- > > ::Bruce:: > > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > > > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Re: error checking a null array
AAarg.
Okay, thanks to all of you I've decided that any field name I need to
see will be sent to $_SESSION['required_fields'] and basta.
Then after the submit button is pressed, I am doing this:
reset($_SESSION['required_fields']);
foreach ($_SESSION['required_fields'] as $fieldname)
{
if (!isset($_POST[$fieldname]) || empty($_POST[$fieldname]))
{
$message[$fieldname]=1;
include_once(QUESTIONS . 'q.inc');
}
}//error check
And this is *almost* working: it seems to crap out after the first loop
through the $_SESSION['required_field'] array.
The array says:
Array ( [required_fields] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 4
[4] => 1 [5] => 2 [6] => 3 [7] => 4 [8] => 1 [9] => 2 [10] => 3 [11] =>
4 ) )
$_POST says:
Array ( [action] => [process]process [1] => [2] => 68 [3] => [4] => )
So you see, there's an answer specified for the value of question [2].
But $messages says only:
$message: array(1) { [1]=> int(1) }
Why is it dying after the first loop through?
Thanks in advance

[PHP] Performace and segfault errors with Php5 + Apache 1.3.x + linux-2.6.x
i'am developing a web framework SifEngine (Secure Web Inteface framework) that implement MVC applaying the security ideas from http://phpsec.org. I'am using DomXML, Sqlite, Mcrypt and PostgreSql. After of post my development on the internet ( i have been thinking to post on PEAR ), i made simple tests of aplications with my framework. During the implementation, i used Slackware 10.1 with kernel 2.4.29 + php5.0.4 + Apache 1.3.2, with no problems. I didn't detect performace problems or segfaults by apache. Then i decided to do the same test but with kernel 2.6.10, wating that no problems occur. However my expectation, on this new configuration all the aplications develped with my framework, had performance issues or in the worst situation produce apache forks to be restarted, or a lot of apache forks. i don't undestand why this occur, i try to use valigrand to verify memorie lacks without results.

Re: [PHP] Re: error checking a null array
I can only swear this to the entire list:
Before I come here for help, each time, I echo and var_dump and print_r
until, yes, I need a doctor.
So by the time I come here, it's not laziness or lack of looking in the
manual, it's head-swirling confusion infused with incompetence and a
complete lack of programming experience at any time before April of this
year which leads me to come back again and again with relatively foolish
questions.
My problem before, for example: In my error check function, I placed the
include file (to return to the form) *within* the foreach loop, and then
I wondered why it only ran through once.
D'oh.

If that's your first use of $data then it's not necessary, but it's very
highly recommended to do something like:
$data = array();
mysql_query("SELECT ");
while($rows .)
{
$data[] = $rows;
}
That way you _know_ that $data is "clean" before you start doing
anything with it.
It's always a good idea to set any variables you're using to some value,
either "", array(), 0, or some default value, before you use them to
help keep the "bad guys" out of your scripts.

INSERT into TABLE values ($this -> firstName, $this -> lastName);
I do that this way:
$insertQuery = "Insert into TABLE values (".$this -> firstName.",".$this
-> lastName)");
$db = new DB;
$db -> query($insertQuery);
this is not working and I have next message:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in
/Library/Apache2/htdocs/Users.php on line 80
I think that my error is in escape characters and I dont not know hox to

Re: [PHP] php-mySQL insert problem
Try this:

)";
$db =& new DB;

you need to have quotes arround your varchar items and you should also
specify which column you want the values to go into.
It is also good practice to check if there is an error and try to get
the most information available.

Yess! That's the right one :-)

"DB" class do the right thing with try/catch.

[PHP] very simple, yet can't think how.
Hi everyone, Sorry for the n00bie question but I've been racking my brain, searching Google and yes, I have been "RTFM" for over 6 months :-) All I'm trying to do is set up a "User system" that allows a member to create their own personal site using an auto_increment type system? This is my problem... I've been trying to look through other code trying to figure out where and how they do it - but for some reason I can't figure out how to Dynamically create something like this: User Joe comes in and creates an account... when he creates his account he can give his site a TITLE, DESCRIPTION, ABOUT US INFO (say /aboutus.php), CONTACT (./contactus.php), etc. after he clicks "Submit" the system automatically creates a site such as _http://mydomain.com/0/joe/ _ (http://mydomain.com/0/joe/ ) , Bob does the same thing and his is _http://mydomain.com/0/bob_ (http://mydomain.com/0/bob) I'm sure most of you know how this is done or you've seen it on sites such as Soundclick.com (although it's CF) - I've been checking out Jamroom to see if I could figure it out there- but kinda got lost lol... I want to use PHP, Smarty and MySQL to do this - but I'm missing something... I'm not asking anybody to build this - I'm looking for a little guidance, tips, etc. - that's all. Would this be done through auto_increment in MySQL or something? Thanks everyone :-)
[PHP] Java - toString() <-> php - ?
To print "state" of object in Java I can define toString() function and
then I can do something like this:
Java exemple:
*
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ReadTextFromFile
{
private static String line;
private static String Fable = new String ("");
private static String NomFable;
private static int cptLine = 0;
private static int nbrPersonnes = 0;
private static String nomPersonnes = new String ("");
private static ArrayList AListe = new ArrayList(nbrPersonnes);
//**
public String toString()
{
return getClass().getName()
+ " [ Nom de la fable: "+ NomFable
+ " <==> Nombre de personnes dans dialogue: " + nbrPersonnes
+ " ] "
;
}
***
Is there similar kind of function in php that help us to print the state
of object in his "life evolution"?
Thanks
ADI

Hi Adi
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.classobj.php
Check out the link above, and I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for.
You will find functions there called get_class & get_class_vars that I think
you will find very helpful.
Hope this helps...

[PHP] Re: very simple, yet can't think how.
>From my understanding of what you are trying to do you have templates, perhaps, setup for your users that get customized with each individuals data. In that case what you will require to do is first off 1. create a folder for user underneath the corresponding location you want the user setup, so if -web address: www.mydomain.comphysical location: c:\mydomain\ -web address: www.mydomain.com/Joe/ physical location: c:\mydomain\Joe\ 2. insert user data into templates 3. copy the template files over to the new folder location for user, so if the user has a contactus.php -web address: www.mydomain.com/Joe/contactus.phpphysical location: c:\mydomain\Joe\contactus.php I'm pretty sure this is probably overkill for what you were looking for.

Re: [PHP] Re: very simple, yet can't think how.
Thanks, that's actually really close to what I was looking for... so if I wanted, say: _http://mydomain.com/0/joe_ (http://mydomain.com/0/joe) - you're saying I should have the Directory "/0/" or "/1/" already set up... right? then do I use something such as mkdir and chdir to create joe? then file manipulation functions such as fwrite, fread, etc? So basically if I'm reading clearly... I insert the User info into the Database, then use that info to write into the Directory "/joe/" ? Thanks a lot man, I feel like I might have been right all along - but this is the first big project I've done - so I'm trying to get the Logic down correctly before I get started... :-) - Clint p.s. sorry, I meant to do "reply all" :-( So, here it is again!
Re: [PHP] very simple, yet can't think how.
I have coded this type of website for many years and have run the gamut of trying different things -- originally, 8 years ago, I used perl with flat files and physical folders but in the recent past I have used PHP, MySQL and dynamic folders. In my opinion the best way to build this site is with dynamic folders via custom 404 error handling. Here how it works: You build the pages for things like "contact us" "my store" "my stuff" or whatever. Then you send someone to the site with an address like: mydomain.com/joe which doesn't exist. A custom 404 error handler picks up the error and parses the URL to identify "joe" as a unique ID. The 404 script pulls "joe's" info from a database and populates the pages with his custom contact info then delivers the page. Joe's ID usually gets stuffed into a cookie and then when the person comes back to the site at a later date, they are delivered joe's info. That's it in a nut shell. Be sure that you deliver 200 headers and not 404 headers when delivering the dynamic folder. Now you can do the physical folders and every time someone "signs up" you can take the template and populate their pages and store these pages in a real folder named "joe." But, be aware using this method. Success (if having lots of users is your goal) will be your downfall because this system is not easily scalable. Just think what happens if you have 500 folders, or 5,000 or 50,000 folders with every folder having a copy of the files in them. Here is a 404 script I use: And here is the start of the getinfo.php script: Be sure to code the handling of an actual 404 just in case you don't have a user named joe or the surfer miss types. There's a ton of work in getting all of the bases covered - but it's sweet when it's done and you will know a lot of how a server works. Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] Re: very simple, yet can't think how.
Yes, that would be correct. Make sure all permanent directories such as "0" or "1" already exist, and generate all dynamic folders using mkdir function. Also, remember the templates you will be using. -sonu - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 10:12 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: very simple, yet can't think how.
