[PHP] [Mail]mb_encode_mimeheader

[Sylvain Gourvil]

Hi !

I need some help for mail's encoding structure.
I use this code for encoding french character like 'é' or 'è':

   mb_language('uni');
   mb_internal_encoding(mb_detect_encoding($this->subject));
   $res = mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 
mb_encode_mimeheader($this->subject), $this->msgTxt.$this->msgHTML, 
$this->entete, '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');


It is working fine unless if my first word is not containing one of 
those multi-bites characters!


For example :
Subject : êtes vous francais ou étranger ? => It is well encode and all 
is fine on differents mail software and webmail
Subject : Bonjour, êtes vous francais ? => It is encode at the 
beginnning of the second word. So it is not well written on some softwre 
like Incredimail for example.


Does someone know where i am wrong ?
Thanks a lot for your help

Sylvain Gourvil

Read what he said again. Instead of expiring the session itself, store the
time of session expiry in the session (with a longer expiry time than 1 day)
and check that.

When you say a day, do you mean 24 hours or a calendar day? Are you trying
to say:

"Today is Tuesday, so expire this session at midnight on Tuesday?"

If that's what you need to do, you need to use a client-side solution -
after all, only the client knows what time it is where the client is! Be
prepared for people who have their time zone set incorrectly.

$re = '/^(\d+)(,\d+-\d+)?$/';
preg_match($re, $value);

This only allows
 * an integer or
 * an integer followed by a comma and a range of integers

It doesn't allow anything else - even whitespace after the comma.

Hello,

Take a look over at SquirrelMail. http://www.squirrelmail.org/

In thier Plugins section they have a script that parses all sorts of
documents. Could be a start to build your own - however this needs a
couple of extra packages (when installed in Unix).

[PHP] iconv() in PHP returns 'Unknown error 0'

[Toomas Aas]

Hello!

I am managing a FreeBSD 4.11 server which is currently running PHP 
4.3.11.  The server was originally installed in 2003 with an older 
version of PHP and libiconv 1.8. All software has been installed from 
FreeBSD ports. Over the time PHP has been upgraded several times, but 
libiconv has remained untouched:


mail# pkg_info | grep iconv
libiconv-1.8_2  A character set conversion library
php4-iconv-4.3.11   The iconv shared extension for php

There was a time when PHP's iconv() function definitely worked on this 
server, but now it seems to have a problem. I copied and pasted this 
simple test script from www.php.net:


-

-

When I load this script via the browser, PHP outputs nothing. I have 
error logging set to file only, and in the log file there is this error:


[07-Sep-2005 12:10:07] PHP Notice:  iconv(): Unknown error (0) in 
/storage/www/iconvtest.php on line 2


This is the only error I see in PHP's error log or any other logfile 
with similar timestamp.


The iconv extension is loaded and can be seen in output of phpinfo().

I read that sometimes on FreeBSD you need to use libiconv() instead of 
iconv(), but this is not the case here - when I replace iconv() with 
libiconv() I get "PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function: 
libiconv()".


I can successfully run iconv from command line:
$ echo This is a test. > iconvtest
$ iconv -f "ISO-8859-1" -t "UTF-8" iconvtest
This is a test.

Is it possible that my problem is caused by anything *else* than iconv 
library being out of date compared to PHP's iconv extension? If I need 
to update libiconv, I also need to update lot of things that depend on 
it, and this takes some time. If there is some quicker way to get PHP's 
iconv extension functional, I'd prefer to use that for now.

The module was compiled for an earlier version of PHP. Get your friend

Yes, this means that the module you have been given has been compiled 
against a prevous version of PHP - you will either need them to send you 
the source to compile against your version of PHP or get them to do it 
for you, or run it against the correct version of PHP.

Best regards,


From the HTTP RFC:

The Location response-header field is used to redirect the recipient to 
a location other than the Request-URI for completion of the request or 
identification of a new resource. For 201 (Created) responses, the 
Location is that of the new resource which was created by the request. 
For 3xx responses, the location SHOULD indicate the server's preferred 
URI for automatic redirection to the resource. The field value consists 
of a single absolute URI.


  Location   = "Location" ":" absoluteURI

Your script doesn't appear to be trying to do a re-direct, but rather open a 
client side e-mail - if you want to do this, then you will need to use 
JavaScript on the client side.

HTH,

Mikey

Yes it redirect, because PHP add a 302 response header in this case.

And the client-side email is opened. But with mozilla, the calling page is 
still displayed, and with firefow, a new blank one is displayed. That's my 
question : who is right ? Mozilla or Firefox ? And how to have always (which

This isn't *really* a redirect. You're abusing the Location: header, so 
what you're really seeing is browsers differing in their recovery from 
your abuse. Error handling is never something you can rely on.


Use JavaScript and provide a link for them to click on when JS is 
disabled. I'm sure users who disable JS are more than used to clicking 
an extra link now and then.

It looks like I found the solution myself. To my great surprise, the 
order of 'extension' lines in php.ini seems to be significant. As those 
of you who use FreeBSD might know, if you install PHP and a choice of 
extensions from ports, then extensions are described in separate file 
/usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini. I moved the line describing 
'iconv.so' to the first line in this file, and the test script quoted 
above started working as expected.

[PHP] Breaking up search terms into an array intelligently

[Paul Groves]

I want to be able to break up a number of search terms typed into an input
box into array, simple enough one would think, just use explode, e.g


$array = explode(" ", $string);


But what if I want to be able to cope with search terms seperated by > 1
space (a common typing error)? This should work:


function enhanced_explode($string) {
 $array = preg_split ("/\s+/", $string);
 return ($array);
}


But what if I want to allow "Google"-type search parameters, so that
something like the following is split into 3 search terms?:
firstsearchterm "second search term" thirdsearchterm
The following code will do the trick, but is slow and doesn't allow for
multiple spaces as the delimiter, nor the possibility of multiple delimiters
(e.g. " ", "+", "," etc.)


function explode2($delimeter, $string)
{
   for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($string); $i++)
   {
   if ($string{$i} == '"')
   {
   if ($insidequotes)
   $insidequotes = false;
   else
   $insidequotes = true;
   }
   elseif ($string{$i} == $delimeter)
   {
   if ($insidequotes)
   {
   $currentelement .= $string{$i};
   }
   else
   {
   $returnarray[$elementcount++] = $currentelement;
   $currentelement = '';
   }
   }
   else
   {
   $currentelement .= $string{$i};
   }
   }

   $returnarray[$elementcount++] = $currentelement;

   return $returnarray;
}

None of these solutions are ideal, I guess a clever regular exression
(preg_split) could solve this, but I'm not quite sure how - does anyone have
any ideas? Thanks

Paul

Hi babu,

As you've pointed out, you have 4 distinct scenarios to deal with, and it
may be very difficult, without a great deal of tuning and tweaking, to
define a regular expression that can effectively match all 4 scenarios
without including false matches as well.

One way of dealing with this is to build more specialized and exact regular
expressions for each possible scenario and group them together in an if
statement.

Eg.

if (preg_match('/^\d+$/',$subject) || preg_match('/^\d+,$/',$subject) ||
preg_match('/^\d+,\d+-\d+$/', $subject) || ){

// code for successful match of valid data in $subject

} else {

// code for invalid data in $subject

}

Basically, the if/else statement is testing each distinct possible pattern
and executing code if any of those distinct possible patterns match.

It may not ultimately be the most graceful way of dealing with the
situation, but having spent many hours attempting to tweak complex regular
expressions looking for the magic combination, I've learned that breaking
scenarios down this way can save a lot of development time and frustration.
This doesn't mean there isn't a benefit to finding the perfect regular
expression for your needs, just that it can often be difficult to guarantee
your code won't be plagued by false matches or false exclusions as your
expression becomes more and more complex.

Hope this helps a little.

Much warmth,

Murray

According to the manual,


"The size of an integer is platform-dependent, although a maximum value of
about two billion is the usual value (that's 32 bits signed). PHP does not

to have solved the problem by adding "AddHandler php-script .php" to the 
 stanza for my /cgi-bin/ directory. For the archives, in case anyone 
is searching for this answer, too.

>>> KEVIN ZEMBOWER <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/06/05 10:44AM >>>
I'm trying to allow php scripts to execute from the /cgi-bin/ directory, which 
is currently set up as a ScriptAlias in my Apache2 configuration. I've found 
lots of references to this, but there seems to be a couple of different ways to 
accomplish this, and I can't tell which one is recommended or safest. There 
seems to be lots of security risks associated with some of the solutions 
proposed.

I'm using Debian woody. This was working under Apache 1, but somehow upgrading 
to Apache 2 broke it, and I haven't been able to fix it.

I've found solutions involving changing the ScriptAlias directory to just an 
Alias, with ExecuteCGI turned on in the Apache2 configuration. I've also found 
adding an alias to the php4 executable in the cgi-bin directory and adding an 
Action and AddHandler to the configuration, but I wasn't able to get this 
working. I get the sense that changing the SafeMode section of 
/etc/php4/apache2/php.ini is the recommended, safest way, but I haven't been 
able to find any cookbook-style directions on what to change to allow the 
execution of the php scripts from /cgi-bin/.

Can anyone help me get this set up? Searching the archives of this list 
produced some information that seemed contradictory and I couldn't understand 
which methods were recommended.

Thank you for your help and advice.

Subject: [PHP] Breaking up search terms into an array intelligently



I want to be able to break up a number of search terms typed into an input
box into array, simple enough one would think, just use explode, e.g


$array = explode(" ", $string);


But what if I want to be able to cope with search terms seperated by > 1
space (a common typing error)? This should work:


function enhanced_explode($string) {
$array = preg_split ("/\s+/", $string);
return ($array);
}


But what if I want to allow "Google"-type search parameters, so that
something like the following is split into 3 search terms?:
firstsearchterm "second search term" thirdsearchterm
The following code will do the trick, but is slow and doesn't allow for
multiple spaces as the delimiter, nor the possibility of multiple 
delimiters

(e.g. " ", "+", "," etc.)


function explode2($delimeter, $string)
{
  for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($string); $i++)
  {
  if ($string{$i} == '"')
  {
  if ($insidequotes)
  $insidequotes = false;
  else
  $insidequotes = true;
  }
  elseif ($string{$i} == $delimeter)
  {
  if ($insidequotes)
  {
  $currentelement .= $string{$i};
  }
  else
  {
  $returnarray[$elementcount++] = $currentelement;
  $currentelement = '';
  }
  }
  else
  {
  $currentelement .= $string{$i};
  }
  }

  $returnarray[$elementcount++] = $currentelement;

  return $returnarray;
}

None of these solutions are ideal, I guess a clever regular exression
(preg_split) could solve this, but I'm not quite sure how - does anyone 
have

any ideas? Thanks

Hi Paul!

I guess you're looking for something like this?

$sql = "SELECT ID From tbTempTable";

$search = $_GET["frmSearch"];
   $search = trim($search);
   $search = strtolower($search);

   //Delete all occurances of " (chr(34)) in search-string
   //Delete all occurances of \ (chr(92)) in search-string

   $search = str_replace(chr(34),"",$search);
   $search = str_replace(chr(92),"",$search);


   //Divide search - string into an array
   //
   $searcharray = explode(" ",$search);


  //Go through search-array if several words are type

  //within search-string

  //
   $firstSQL = "WHERE";

  for ($i=0;$i   $searcharray[$i] = substr($searcharray[$i],1, 
strlen($searcharray[$i])-1);


   }


   //If - then don't search for +, only rest of searcharray
   //and add NOT LIKE to search-criteria
   //

   if (substr($searcharray[$i],0,1) == "-") {

   $notset = "NOT LIKE";

   $orset ="AND";

   $searcharray[$i] = substr($searcharray[$i],1, 
strlen($searcharray[$i])-1);


   }


   $sa = mysql_real_escape_string($searcharray[$i]);


   //Freetext search
   //
   if ($_GET["frmFreeText"] == 'on') {

   $sql .= " " . $firstSQL . " (tbvotes.titleJoke $notset '%" . $sa .

   //Grade - search
   //
   if ($_GET["frmGrade"] == 'on') {

   $sql .= " " . $firstSQL . " ((totalValueJoke / nrOfVotes) $notset

$sql .= ")";

   }



   //Set AND if more than word typed in...
   //
   $firstSQL = "AND";



  }



}
//END Search now...
//

//echo $sql;

I hope it will give you a clue into right direction... :-)

[PHP] Help with Class

[Ian Barnes]

Hi,

 

I am writing a site where I need to access multiple classes of the same name
located under certain directories. The reason for each directory is because
the class under that directory talks only to the files in that directory and
cant do multiple (its not my software)

 

I have it so that I choose which ones I want to "post" to via checkboxes. I
then do a foreach loop and here it is:

 

foreach ( $forums as $num=>$val )

{

$db = new db ( 'localhost' , 'user' ,
'pass' , 'db' );

$sql = 'SELECT * FROM table WHERE id =
"'.$val.'"';

$result = $db->get($sql);

$fetchd = mysql_fetch_array ( $result );

$forumid = $fetchd['forumid'];

$posterid = $fetchd['posterid'];

$title = $_POST['title'];

$desc = $_POST['desc'];

$post = $_POST['post'];

require_once (
$fetchd['path'].'sdk/ipbsdk_class.inc.php' );

$SDK =& new ipbsdk;

$info = $SDK -> get_info ( $posterid );

$postername = $info['name'];

echo "Forum ID:".$forumid;

echo "Title:".$title;

echo "Desc:".$desc;

echo "Post:".$post;

echo "PosterID:".$posterid;

echo "PosterName:".$postername;

echo "";

}

 

See at the end of that foreach loop I need to unset the class $SDK so I can
re-init it from another dir. How can I do this? I have tried some of the
following:

Unset ( $SDK);

Unset ($GLOBALS['SDK'] );

 

 

Can anyone shed any light on my predicament ?

 

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Ian

Hi there!




What is the boundary for an integer?




seems to be a easy question, but I can't find it...



/G
http://www.varupiraten.se/




According to the manual,


"The size of an integer is platform-dependent, although a maximum value of
about two billion is the usual value (that's 32 bits signed). PHP does not
support unsigned integers."

Hm... I would rephrase my question.. Is it possible to get the maximum
integer-value that can be used?



Hi

Try this code to see what it is on your platform:

or, easier, simply make this script:


and you're done :P The maximum integer value is stored in PHP_INT_MAX as 
of 4.4.0 and PHP 5.0.5


before that, you had to use a way as the one Brian posted

Thanks  - this helps to an extent (espc. with how to deal with "+" and 
"-" delimiters), but doesn't (I think) solve the problem of how to treat 
parts of search terms in quotes as single search terms (like Google 
does), espc. as quotes get stripped out in your example. Nor does it 
deal with the problem of muliple spaces between search terms, though 
that's relatively easy to fix using the enhanced_explode() function above.

[PHP] OCI8 1.1 announce

[Antony Dovgal]

Hi all,

Yesterday OCI8 extension have been updated in the PHP CVS (HEAD only).
This updated driver resolves a large amount of bug reports and adds 
some improvements both functionality and performance, and much better 
documentation (see here: http://php.net/oci8).


A lot of time has been invested in updating this driver including 
help from Wez Furlong and the OCI team which gave a lot of feedback 
on how to do things the best and most efficient way.


Version 1.1 is available through PECL (http://pecl.php.net). 
It works with PHP 5 and PHP 4, so please go ahead and install it.
Feel free to send me feedback or open a bug report via bugs.php.net 
if you find something.


This new version should be 100% compatible with the old one, so you 
don't have to make any changes to your scripts to switch to the 
new version.


To install it run this command:
pear install oci8-beta

Make sure that you have PHP built without oci8 enabled if 
you're going to build the new oci8 as a shared extension.


The following is a list of many issues that were dealt with including 
new functionality (such as statement caching and data prefetching):


Major changes:
--
- The connection handling algorithm was rewritten. That should add 
stability and fix all non-reproducible crashes etc;
- The extension was refactored and divided into several files to 
improve readability and to make it easier to maintain;

- Added support for statement caching;
- Added support for privileged connections using external credentials;
- Added new INI options to manage persistent connections;
- Fixed oci_close() to close connections correctly.

Fixed bugs:
---
#33915 - crash in _oci_close_session
#26393 - Segfault during request shutdown in _oci_close_session() (oci8.c:2443)

#32741 - hang on ociexecute() with collections (only with 10g, works with 9i)
#32325 - can't retrieve collection using OCI8
#33583 - Apache1.3.33 Segmentation fault with php5 & OCI_New_Collection

#32361 - connection oci_connect stay persist after process the php
#29013 - multiple logins cause handles become invalid
#28944 - OCITypeByName: OCI-21522 with two connections

Fixed by rewriting the connection handling

#32140 - NVARCHAR columns are truncated
#31042 - oci_fetch_* sets field value to false
#27156 - OCIFetchInto returns false as column value when column 
contains >1 umlaut


Fixed by multiplying the buffer size by 3.

#33866 - OCIlogon do not returns conn resource for account with expired paswd
#33365 - logon fails when password expires

Fixed by adding the new oci_password_change() call syntax.

#33159 - DB-connect via webserver fails after DB-restart ORA-24327
#30808 - oci8 cannot connect after restarting DB
#30127 - lost oracle connection. need restart apache.
#29902 - oci8 doesn't disconnect sessions, overloads oracle server
#29779 - (the same issue with the Oracle server going offline)
#26829 - Killed Oracle Sessions openned with OCIPLogon()

Fixed by adding oci8.ping_interval option.

#32988 - ext/oci8: OCI doesn't support DB external authentication

Fixed by adding support of external credentials (turned off by default).

New features:
-
- Connections are now using private environment handles (this fixed a 
lot of mysterious segfaults especially under high load)


-Implemented statement caching (if supported by the Oracle version). 
Use oci8.statement_cache_size option to tune the cache size or turn 
caching off.


- Persistent connections are checked for liveness. Use 
oci8.ping_interval option to tune frequency of these checks.


- Implemented privileged connects using oci_connect()/ocilogon() 
functions. Use oci8.privileged_connect option to turn it On/Off.


- oci_password_change() can be used to change password in case you 
are not able to connect to the Oracle server. To do that call use 
oci_password_change($dbname, $user, $old_password, $new_password) syntax.



New ini options:

- oci8.statement_cache_size Used to tune statement cache size or to 
turn statement caching off (with -1). The default value is 20.


- oci8.ping_interval Used to tune the frequency of checks done on 
persistent connections or to turn pings off (with -1). The default 
value is 60, which means that a ping will be initiated on each call 
to oci_pconnect() that takes place after the connection has been idle 
for 60 seconds.


- oci8.max_persistent Used to specify the maximum number of 
persistent connections per process. The default value is -1, which 
means there is no limit.


- oci8.persistent_timeout
Used to specify the maximum length of time a persistent connection 
will be held idle. The default value is -1, which means there is no limit.


- oci8.privileged_connect
Used to turn on/off ability to connect to Oracle server as 
SYSDBA/SYSOPER using external credentials. The default value is Off.


- oci8.default_prefetch
Used to specify size of the buffer which is used when prefetching 
statements. The default value is -1, which me

foreach ($_SESSION['arr1'] as $arr1) {
   foreach ($_SESSION['arr2'] as $arr2) {
   if ($arr1['id'] == $arr2['id']) {
   $arr1['selected'] = true;
   }
   }   
}


I think $arr1 is only a temp-var, so the assignment won't reflect on 
$_SESSION['arr1'] . Is that right?
Surely I can do it with a for-loop, but those arrays are a bit complex 
and a foreach would be much easier to read.

Short answer is no.

foreach works on a copy of the array, so any chnges you make inside the 
foreach loop are "lost" once you're outside of it. Although *inside* the 
foreach the changes *are* valid.


What you can do is:

$newArray = array();

foreach ($_SESSION['arr1'] as $arr1) {
foreach ($_SESSION['arr2'] as $arr2) {
if ($arr1['id'] == $arr2['id']) {
$newArray['selected'] = true;
}
}   }

Then reference $newArray instead of $arr1.

Re: [PHP] Assign values in foreach-loop

[Jordan Miller]

Hello,

You simply need the $key variable, then you can set a new value for  
$arr[$key] for each array element:

 $value) {
   $arr[$key] = $value * 2;
}
// $arr is now array(2, 4, 6, 8)
?>


http://www.php.net/foreach
If you have PHP 5, you can perhaps more efficiently do this:


As of PHP 5, you can easily modify array's elements by preceding  
$value with &. This will assign reference instead of copying the  
value.

Re: [PHP] Assign values in foreach-loop

[tg-php]

Yeah, you can assign values, but you have to keep track of keys, so you'll want 
to use the => operator for foreach (pardon my reformatted, I feel naked without 
my braces):

foreach ($_SESSION['arr1'] as $key1 => $arr1)  {
foreach ($_SESSION['arr2'] as $key2 => $arr2) {
if ($arr1['id'] == $arr2['id']) {
# $arr1['selected'] = true;
$_SESSION['arr1'][$key1]['selected'] = true;
}
}
}

Is that what you were trying to do?

Re: [PHP] Assign values in foreach-loop

[Jordan Miller]

sorry,

i didn't fully answer the questions... if i understand your  
multidimensional array correctly, your code should be something like:


foreach ($_SESSION['arr1'] as $key => $arr1) {
   foreach ($_SESSION['arr2'] as $arr2) {
   if ($arr1['id'] == $arr2['id']) {
   $_SESSION['arr1'][$key]['selected'] = true;
   }
   }   }

Or you can do it like that...

Totally brain-faded on the $key bit. I've been bitten by this so many 
times that it's just in my head that you can't permanently modify the array.


Cool stuff on the v5 referencing, I guess I'm gonna have to go back 
through the manual on everything and not just the new stuff.

I want to be able to break up a number of search terms typed into an 
input

box into array, simple enough one would think, just use explode, e.g


$array = explode(" ", $string);


But what if I want to be able to cope with search terms seperated by > 1
space (a common typing error)? This should work:


function enhanced_explode($string) {
$array = preg_split ("/\s+/", $string);
return ($array);
}


But what if I want to allow "Google"-type search parameters, so that
something like the following is split into 3 search terms?:
firstsearchterm "second search term" thirdsearchterm
The following code will do the trick, but is slow and doesn't allow for
multiple spaces as the delimiter, nor the possibility of multiple 
delimiters

(e.g. " ", "+", "," etc.)


function explode2($delimeter, $string)
{
  for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($string); $i++)
  {
  if ($string{$i} == '"')
  {
  if ($insidequotes)
  $insidequotes = false;
  else
  $insidequotes = true;
  }
  elseif ($string{$i} == $delimeter)
  {
  if ($insidequotes)
  {
  $currentelement .= $string{$i};
  }
  else
  {
  $returnarray[$elementcount++] = $currentelement;
  $currentelement = '';
  }
  }
  else
  {
  $currentelement .= $string{$i};
  }
  }

  $returnarray[$elementcount++] = $currentelement;

  return $returnarray;
}

None of these solutions are ideal, I guess a clever regular exression
(preg_split) could solve this, but I'm not quite sure how - does anyone 
have

any ideas? Thanks

Hi Paul!

I guess you're looking for something like this?

$sql = "SELECT ID From tbTempTable";

$search = $_GET["frmSearch"];
   $search = trim($search);
   $search = strtolower($search);

   //Delete all occurances of " (chr(34)) in search-string
   //Delete all occurances of \ (chr(92)) in search-string

   $search = str_replace(chr(34),"",$search);
   $search = str_replace(chr(92),"",$search);


   //Divide search - string into an array
   //
   $searcharray = explode(" ",$search);


  //Go through search-array if several words are type

  //within search-string

  //
   $firstSQL = "WHERE";

  for ($i=0;$i   $searcharray[$i] = substr($searcharray[$i],1, 
strlen($searcharray[$i])-1);


   }


   //If - then don't search for +, only rest of searcharray
   //and add NOT LIKE to search-criteria
   //

   if (substr($searcharray[$i],0,1) == "-") {

   $notset = "NOT LIKE";

   $orset ="AND";

   $searcharray[$i] = substr($searcharray[$i],1, 
strlen($searcharray[$i])-1);


   }


   $sa = mysql_real_escape_string($searcharray[$i]);


   //Freetext search
   //
   if ($_GET["frmFreeText"] == 'on') {

   $sql .= " " . $firstSQL . " (tbvotes.titleJoke $notset '%" . $sa .

  $sql .= " $orset tbvotes.Joke $notset '%"  . $sa . "%'";
  $sql .= " $orset nameOfUser $notset '%"  . $sa . "%'";

$sql .= ")";

   }


   //Titlesearch
   //
   if ($_GET["frmTitle"] == 'on') {

   $sql .= " " . $firstSQL . " (tbvotes.titleJoke $notset '%" . $sa .

$sql .= ")";

   }


   //Avs search
   //
   if ($_GET["frmFrom"] == 'on') {

   //Set AND if more than word typed in...
   //
   $firstSQL = "AND";



  }



}
//END Search now...

[PHP] user registration/login - admin functions...

[bruce]

hi...

i'm creating a couple of sites that are going to need a user
registration/login functin as well as an admin function. rather than
reinvent the wheel, it thought i'd turn to you guys, to see if you've run
across any app that you thought was good regarding the functions. i'm more
than willing to rip off, copy/paste functionality!

user registration/login:
 -allow user to enter basic information
 -allow user to enter username/passwd
 -ensure unique username
 -email confirmation of user registration
 -password regeneration (forgot passwd)
 -handle forgot username/password
 -ip blocking
 -email blocking
 -security graphic verification (capcha??)
 -admin notification
 -aadmin enable/authorize
 -Session var generation on successful login
 -limit login attempts for invalid logins
 -ensure only single usage of login at a time
 -ensure that multiple logins of a login is
  within a geographic/IP range
 -IP/User tracking
 -


Admin functionality:
 -IP Tracking
 -IP blocking
 -User Management
 -User Enable/Disable function
 -User Auth/Verification function
 -User Email Function
 -User Password regeneration function
 -Site Mamagement
 -List Users
 -Track User Actions within site
 -Allow User to be a member of a given group
 -Create Groups
 -Assign User Roles/Groups
 -
 -
 -
 -

This is kind of a basic/starting point. I'm looking at a few CMS apps, but
i'm curious to know if you guys have seen any app (open source) that has
what i'm looking for...

thanks

Why not set $_SESSION['arr1'] = true ?


foreach ($_SESSION['arr1'] as $arr1) {
   foreach ($_SESSION['arr2'] as $arr2) {
   if ($arr1['id'] == $arr2['id']) {

I might add that is not always a good thing to use true or false with 
sessions. Use 1 and 0 instead. (or two diffrent numbers or anything else but 
true or false)

In case it hasnt been said already, as long as your array has numeric and

[PHP] Stripping control M character (^M)

[Paul Nowosielski]

Hello All,

I'm having some issues with carriage returns. Specifically the control M
character (^M). I have attempted to clean and validate the file I'm
creating. Here's the code.

 while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

// assign and clean vars
$artist = trim($row[artist]);
$tdDate = trim($row[start_date]);
$venue = trim($row[venue]);
$city = trim($row[CITY]);
$state = trim($row[STATE]);
$country = trim($row[COUNTRY]);
$tdId = trim($row[td_id]);

// create string

$line = "$artist|||$tdDate||$venue|$city|$state|$country|$tdId\n";

// validate the string

   if(preg_match("/.*.|||.*.||.*.|.*.|.*.|.*.|.*.n\//", $line)){
   // record is correct so write line to file
   fwrite($handle,$line);
   }




}


So ^M slips right by trim and my preg_match line.

Any ideas??

TIA

Where is the carriage return appearing in your line of output?  Trim 
will remove these, but only at the beginning/end of a string so if $artist 
= "Paul\rNowosielski" that won't get cleaned up...


Maybe run them through ereg_replace() using "[\n\r]" as a pattern?

Re: [PHP] Breaking up search terms into an array intelligently

[Brent Baisley]

It sounds like you are trying to build a full text search string,  
perhaps for searching a MySQL database? Below is the function I came  
up with a while ago. It's worked fine, although it currently does not  
check for multiple spaces, but that should be easy to change. It uses  
a space as a delimiter and it checks for quotes for searching on  
phrases. It returns the search string for a MySQL full text boolean  
mode search. You should be able to easily adapt it to your specific  
needs.


function prepFullTextSearch($searchVal) {
//Split words into list
$word_List= explode(' ',stripslashes(trim 
($searchVal)));

//Step through word list to get search phrases
$i= 0;
$isPhrase= false;
foreach($word_List as $word) {
$searchItems[$i]= trim(($isPhrase?$searchItems[$i].'  
'.$word:$word));

//Check for start of Phrase
if(substr($searchItems[$i],0,1) == '"') {

None of these solutions are ideal, I guess a clever regular exression
(preg_split) could solve this, but I'm not quite sure how - does  
anyone have

any ideas? Thanks

[PHP] Checking a date for validity

[Todd Cary]

I need to check the input of a user to make sure the date is valid and 
correctly formatted.  Are there any examples available?


Here is one solution I created:

  /* Is date good */
  function is_date_good($date) {
if (strtotime($date) == -1) {
  $retval = 0;
} else {
  if (strpos($date, "/") > 0) {
$parts = explode("/", $date);
  } elseif (strpos($date, "-") > 0) {
$parts2 = explode("-", $date);
$parts[0] = $parts2[1];
$parts[1] = $parts2[2];
$parts[2] = $parts2[0];
  } else {
$parts = explode(".", $date);
  }
  //print_r($parts);
  if (checkdate($parts[0], $parts[1], $parts[2]) )
return 1;
  else
return 0;
}
return $retval;
  }

Is there a simplier solution?

[PHP] Learning PHP - question about hidden form fields

[Iggep]

Hey all!  I sat down and started learning PHP today and ran into a bit of a 
spot.  Hoped someone here could lead me in the right direction.  I created a 
simple test form called form.php.  I thought I had this strait in my mind 
when I created it, but obviously it didn't work.  All I want to do is create 
a static value and pass it back to the page which then triggers a statement 
for the user to read.

Problem I'm running into is that I can't seem to find a way to pass that 
variable correctly with all this being on a single file.   I'd prefer to do 
this in a single file if possible.

Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] Checking a date for validity

[Jordan Miller]

writing a parse script is okay, but it will be very difficult to  
always ensure they are inputting it correctly. I recommend putting a  
popup calendar next to the input field. If the field is automatically  
populated in this way you will have a much easier time parsing it  
correctly. I can't recommend a good one offhand, but there are  
several that are DHTML and JS only, so that should be a good starting  
point for standards compliance. See:

Why $parts2?

Just use $parts instead, like you did in the other two blocks.

Change it to:

>if (strpos($date, "/") > 0) {
>  $parts = explode("/", $date);
>} elseif (strpos($date, "-") > 0) {

> Is there a simplier solution?

How about strtotime()? In your function you're pretty much only
accepting a certain number of formats for your date already so you could
probably go with just passing the date (in whatever format it's given)
to strtotim() and check for a 'false' or a timestamp.

Drop down menus can certainly make your life easier, especially if 
you're dealing with an international audience and wondering what order 
to put the year, month, and day.  Once the info has been submitted you 
can check them against the checkdate function 
(http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.checkdate.php) to make sure 
they're valid (ie February 31st, etc.).

RE: [PHP] Learning PHP - question about hidden form fields

[bruce]

iggep...

what are you trying to do with the following:
>>echo "";
>>echo "";

if i had to guess, i'm pretty sure you're trying to assign the val of
'preform_submitted' to 'form_submitted'... but i'm not sure why...

$preform_submitted will not have the val you think it does.. in fact, from
your sample, it's not defined... in your sample, when you call the form.php
using the POST method, the elements in the form are available via the $_POST
array...

so you could simply check for the val of $_POST['preform_submitted'] and
assign that to the hidden val..

in a similar manner, you could also check in your logic using the $_POST[]
val...

Re: [PHP] Cookie-question?

[Jose Miguel]

Ok, please correct me if i'm wrong...

First of all, i'd rather use $_COOKIE instead of $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS.

And in the line...

if ($voteNow == 'Y' AND $userVote == 'Y' AND $cookieJoke != 'voted') {

Why don't you use the operator NOT IDENTICAL (!==), cause != will also 
return true if the variables are the same type sometimes.

I would use something like:-



$date = '09/09/2005';

list($month, $day, $year) = explode("/", $date);

if(checkdate($month, $day, $year)) {
/* valid date */
} else {
/* invalid date */
}

[PHP] PHP wiki recommendations

[Murray @ PlanetThoughtful]

Hi All,

I want to add a wiki to my blog site to help create a knowledgebase of the
characters, localities, stories I write to make it easier for new visitors
to delve into the areas that interest them.

I've been experimenting with a couple of different wiki packages, but am
always interested in others' thoughts and recommendations.

In particular, I've looked at MediaWiki and PmWiki. Of the two, I like
MediaWiki's 'completeness', but it's also quite slow and doesn't strike me
as being particularly (or easily?) customizable. PmWiki is probably my
current candidate, but again I'd like to make sure I'm not missing a more
obvious choice.

My shopping list for the ideal wiki application is:

- wiki entries preferably stored in MySQL tables. I'm not adamant about this
(eg PmWiki uses files rather than a db backend), but it would suit my
purposes better to be able to draw from the wiki tables from the front page
of my blog to show lists of recently added and recently updated wiki entries

- non-reliance on CamelCase wiki links. Many of my characters etc use joined
CamelCase names (eg KillFork and DangerSpoon), and to avoid confusion I'd
rather explicitly define links to wiki content

- ability to categorize wiki entries

- ability to compare history of wiki edits and easily reinstate older edits
if wiki pages get 'graffiti'd' 

- ability to allow others to edit / create wiki entries, thru a user id /
password system, so that regulars who would like to participate can do so

- ability to customize presentation of wiki pages, presumably through CSS
etc, so that I can maintain the 'look and feel' of my blog thru the wiki
content

- PHP based, though my host does run Perl, so if the killer wiki app is a
Perl-based one, I'm sure I can muddle thru implementing it

If anyone has any recommendations for other wiki applications I should look
at before making a decision, I'd love to hear from you!

Much warmth,

Murray
