Re: [PHP] how should MS Access DATETIME be handled in PHP?
I don't know if MS Access will behave the same, but in MySQL you can have a query like so: SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(end_date, '%d %m %Y') as end_date_formatted FROM projects; And it will retrieve all columns from your projects table, plus the extra one you've created on the fly, and it will be named "end_date_formatted".

Even assuming you only want currently-unemployed with nothing better to do people, I doubt that the contest will really exercise nearly enough of their skillset to be of much value. A strong portfolio and years of experience are better indicators. Not to mention that the code might "win" the contest, but does that make it good code?

If you've got too many fields in the table to enumerate them all and apply Format() to them, then you've got MUCH bigger problems on your hands than date format... :-^ That said, there MAYBE is some kind of introspection function in whatever you are using to find out which fields are date type and which are not. PHP and MySQL have it as: http://php.net/mysql_field_type So you should be able to come up with a script that: #1. Examines the table and finds all the fields of type: 'date' #2. Constructs a query that gets all the fields, but for those of type 'date' wraps Format(date, '-MM-DD HH:II:SS') around them. (Or whatever you need to get what you want) #3. Send your programmatically-constructed query to the database to get the data you want, the way you want it. #4. Drive-through Burger King. You're on your own to actually find the functions that do the introspection, if they exist for Access.

Re: [PHP] New image already cached.
$image_file = 'foo.jpg'; $random = mt_rand(1, 20); $url = "http://example.com/program/$random/$image_file";; echo " In program, if you echo out $_SERVER['PATHINFO'] you will see: /454398574395/foo.jpg The number will change, of course. You can tear that apart and get the foo.jpg part to do whatever you want. Or, you could have the URL sometimes have 'copyright' in it, and sometimes not, and merge only when the URL has copyright in it. You could even pass is paraeters like this: http://example.com/program/width=200/2343242343/foo.jpg Take the width=200 and scale the image to be 200 pixels wide. Here is a real live example where I do this: http://uncommonground.com/artist_profile/Ellen+Rosner Right-click on that image of Ellen in the chair and check out that URL. thumbnail is my PHP script. target is a max width/height (I scale it proporationally and 200 is max for both) credits is the photographer credits from my database. The rest is the URL of the actual real image I'm dinking with. Feel free to play with the URL and change the 200 to, say, 100, or make believe YOU took that photograph. All just from the URL which, as far as the browser can tell, is a perfectly valid set of directory paths on my machine, so the browser can't possibly screw up. (Rule #1: Never trust the browser.) And in the main link, artist_profile is the PHP script, and if you look at the links to the other artists at the bottom of the page, you'll see that it also uses PATH_INFO to either show an artist by ID or to search for their name in our database. If multiple matches are found, the user is asked which one they meant: http://uncommonground.com/artist_profile/Ellen If I have the ID, then I know exactly which one to display. I actually would suggest you go with: /width=200/ though, instead of /width/200/ as it's easier to code and have optional parameters using = and / as an arg separator.

How about this: The BEST solution would be to insert the [valid/clean] data into a database, and run a cron job to send off everything to the Web Service. You'll have to mark what's sent and what isn't and be careful not to run two jobs at once when it's really slow (sending duplicate data) nor to "skip" data that didn't safely get sent. But should do all that anyway in your script. There might even be functions in the Web Service to make it easy for you to send a whole BUNCH of records at once, saving a lot of time on your end.

See, what MySQL supports and what MyODBC will support in terms of SQL and PROCEDURES and whatnot don't have to match up. So you need the new MyODBC and that's all there is to it.

Also just try this: Only type the real constant name. If it's not defined in PHP, you'll just see 'MULTI_CLIENT' If it is defined, it will probably be a number like 15 or 63 or something. If it is not defined, you can probably find out what the number is in the MySQL docs.

You need to put the unserialized array somewhere, change this to
$arr_siirt_jouk = unserialize($arr_siirt_jouk);
print_r($arr_siirt_jouk);
//create the array and post it in another name
$arr_siirto = array((serialize('1','2','3'));
Here you are still putting an array into the input field. You probably want
$arr_siirto = serialize(array('1','2','3'));

Re: [PHP] Best way to start a CRON
Actually, you can even use less "code" to do exactly the same thing (since you can EITHER make an excutable file with the shebang, which you start doing, but never actually do, OR call php to just read the file and execute the code inside it, which you in the end do). Basically, either: #!/usr/local/bin/php -q (linux system - location of php bin) at the top of the file, and make sure the crontab has execute permissions on that script, OR 10 1 * * * root /usr/local/bin/php -q /script/CRONexport.php and make sure your crontab has read permission on the php file (no need for the shebang). As for the -q, I'm sure you meant HTTP headers and not HTML headers ;) (at least, I hope you did) - tul Pure Web Solution wrote: I run several PHP scripts via CRON in the following way: put the following in the top of the php script: #!/usr/local/bin/php -q (linux system - location of php bin) and in the CRONTAB I have the following: 10 1 * * * root /usr/local/bin/php -q /script/CRONexport.php the -q supress HTML headers. hope this helps!

RE: [PHP] PHP Script to open phpBB2 accounts
Google was the 1st place I looked.
I have been on this list since 1998. Looking at some of the
answers on this list lately it must be a real disappointment for
many people. There are many people that like to help but then
there are those that just love to open the joke threads.
If everything is on Google, what do we need this list for?
If you don't have anything better to write, why don't you
Save us all the BW? I can find cool jokes on Google too...

RE: [PHP] PHP Script to open phpBB2 accounts
Yes, both sites are on the same server but weberdev was built by me And weberforums is phpBB2. No sense in writing my own forums application. WeberDev is the main site and has it's own user base and phpBB2 is Pretty complex and I didn't have the time to create a single logon. It Will not be trivial and will need to be maintained with every phpBB2 Upgrade. All I want is to open a phpBB account when someone opens one On WeberDev. I don't agree that php-general is the wrong place. I looked in the phpBB forums for this and found something that doesn't currently Work. On this list there are many php developers that use phpBB So why not ask them if anyone already did what I did. It's not like I'm asking anyone to do the work for me. I devoted Years of my time on WeberDev for the PHP community (it's my Hobby and not my main workplace) and all I asked was to know If someone has created a specific PHP script. Btw, I got several Off line emails asking me to share the solution if I get it. Anyway, instead of all of these emails, I'll try to do it myself And hope someone contacts me soon.

[PHP] Offshore hosting
Hi all, I AM a PHP developer and I KNOW this is off topic, so apologies, but don't respond if you don't feel like it. One of my clients has a poker site which we have to move to an offshore dedicated server located in Cyprus, Malta, Isle Of Man, Alderney or Costa Rica. I am finding it hard to find a decent company that leases boxes in these locations, some of them are registered in these countries but have the hardware in the US. Does anyone have any advice on how to locate a dedicated box? Cheers, next question will be PHP-related I promise. -- http://www.web-buddha.co.uk dynamic web programming from Reigate, Surrey UK look out for project karma, our new venture, coming soon!

Re: [PHP] session
It's really that hard to read the whole manual page about session_destroy()? Quoting the php manual: "In order to kill the session altogether, like to log the user out, the session id must also be unset. If a cookie is used to propagate the session id (default behavior), then the session cookie must be deleted. setcookie() may be used for that." In other words session_destroy() is not enough to kill a session. PS: I just checked the portuguese version of the manual, it seems to be outdated (I don't know portuguese but from the examples given and some deductive reasoning I'm sure it's either a translation of an old version of the manual or a bad translation). If you understand english, rely on the english version. João Cândido de Souza Neto wrote: Hi everyone. I hope someone here can help me. When i start a session in a php page, this session receives an unique id.

RE: [PHP] PHP Script to open phpBB2 accounts
What's there to miss. The create user logic is centralized and fairly easy to follow. If this is too hard for your current situation, you might just want to pass your user information to the phpBB .php file that processes user input. Just another option. (I know these aren't the programs, nor the vars I'm just using this as an example) phpBB_create.php?user=webdevuser&pass=webdevuserpass Of course you would do this programmatically with variables from your webdev form.

Run the include file separately and see if it produces an error. Also make sure that if you have "short open tags=OFF" that your include file uses normal tags. Code normally helps.

[PHP] Session contamination?
Hello All, I'm using a single development server to host multiple client projects, many of which require session management. I've noticed that sometimes when I test these various web apps (which are simply in separate sub directories) I get session leakage where logging in and establishing a session on one app allows me access to (automatically logs me in) to other app(s) on the same server. Or sometimes a session variable will be set across all the apps, like $_SESSION['username']. Is this due to the fact that sessions are established between client browsers and servers, regardless of directory/sub directory? What is the best way to avoid/prevent this problem? Should I be using specific Session ID's or Session names? Thanks for any help, - Ben -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] PHP error log
Actually I'm not looking for help with the code. The problem is more of a principle problem. Because I don't want users to see errors and warnings When there is a problem all of the errors go to a log file Instead of the standard output. As long as the error (any error) occurs in the file I'm Working on, I can see the error in the error log. If the Error is in a file I include I don't see the error. This is not something special for my system. I think It's a definition in the php.ini to suppress errors to Standard output and log them to a file instead. I have : error_reporting = E_ALL|E_STRICT display_errors = Off display_startup_errors = Off log_errors = On track_errors = Off error_log = /usr/local//logs/php_errors (the Is not the real path) warn_plus_overloading = Off Thanks -Original Message- From: Wolf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 5:15 PM To: Weber Sites LTD Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP error log Run the include file separately and see if it produces an error.

Yes - that's the default behaviour, although if you set session.cookie_path separately for each app, they shouldn't share session cookies. You might also want to look at session.save_path which will allow each app to save their session files in a different location. -robin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] PHP Script to open phpBB2 accounts
The idea of creating a phpBB user when a weberdev one is created has merit, but I'm not sure I saw anyone recommend doing the opposite? Since you have a fair idea of how weberdev creates users (since you created it) why not insert some PHP code into phpBB to create a weberdev account when someone creates a phpBB account? Or is that not possible. -TG ___ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.

passing a different/unique value to session_name() should avoid inadvertent
contamination.
[http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-name.php]
Robin's second suggestion of setting the save path can be done with
session_save_path() as well as via ini_set().
[http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-save-path.php]
Robin's first suggestion is the one I would implement first, you can set the
[url]path for which a given session is valid by way of the
session_set_cookie_params()
function, the path can also be set via ini_set('session.cookie_path',
'/my/app/example')
note that session_name() and session_save_path() must be called before you
call session_start()
I recommend going through the info at http://php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
in order to get a better 'feel' of how to use sessions 'properly'

[PHP] Static vs. Instantiated Objects in PHP
Greetings all,
Does anyone know how static objects work behind the scenes in PHP5?
More specifically, is there a benefit to declaring an object and its
methods as static vs the more traditional OO way of instantiating an
object and then calling methods through the -> operator?
For example if I have:
class Example {
public static function doSomething() {
/* doing something here */
}
}
and
class Example {
private __construct() {
/* constructing here */
}
public function doSomething() {
/* doing something here */
}
}
Is it more/less/equally efficient for the engine and parser to do:
$result = Example::doSomething();
or
$example = new Example();
$result = $example->doSomething();
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Re: [PHP] Session contamination?
Hi Dave, After a bit more research, I think I understand why Jochem recommends use of session_save_path() rather than just naming each session differently. The former method provides more security as you can set the location where session cookies are stored. This will help prevent an attacker from gaining access to session information and then using it to gain inappropriate access to the application the session was created for or even other applications running on the same shared server. Anyway, I think that's why. - Ben On 4/20/06, Dave Goodchild <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Let me know how you get on.

Re: [PHP] New image already cached.
Here's the crucial info you are missing:
The URL does not have to *END* in the name of the PHP file.
The PHP file could be in the MIDDLE of the URL.
In other words, Apache is perfectly happy to take a url like this:
http://example.com/program.php/whatever_you-want=to+put_here
Example setup:
~/public_html/program
~/public_html/.htaccess
.htaccess:
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
program:
\n";
$_PATH[$key] = $value;
}
//create your image, using:
//$_PATH['width'] from the URL, max width of image
//$_PATH['copyright'] from the URL, watermark with copyright or not
//$_PATH['filename'] which image file to start with as 'source'
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($_PATH['filename']);
//etc
?>
So when your URL is this:
http://example.com/program/width=200/copyright=1/filename=source.jpg
Your PHP script in 'program' is called, and Apache gives you all the
other stuff in the URL in 'PATHINFO' which you can use as your
arguments.
It's really just replacing:
?width=200©right=1&filename=source.jpg
and using $_GET with:
/width=200/copyright=1/filename=source.jpg
and using $_PATH (aka $_SERVER['PATHINFO'])
Variants:
To keep the browser from using 'filename=source.jpg' if the user
right-clicks, you could change the URL to just end in the filename,
and you'd have to handle that differently than the explode('=', $part)
To keep the browser from caching your image, embed some random number
in the URL, and your program will just IGNORE that key/value in $_PATH
The whole point of this exercise is to provide the browser with a URL
that it cannot distinguish from a valid static image URL, so the
browser can't screw up. Cuz it will if it can.

You're also better off embedding the parameters in the URL so that

"looks like" a directory to the browser:

The PHP scritp is actual_script.
You can use .htaccess and ForceType to make Apache run it.

Because the flag would have been made up and documented by the MySQL guys. Almost for sure. A handful of exceptions like CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER do exist. PHP mysql *MIGHT* have caught that constant as one you need and imported it. Or not. > or is > "mysql_connect" command just a wripping command to ODBC command (and > in this case i understand why to check in MySQL doc.). mysql_connect() in PHP is a thinly-disguised wrapper for a MySQL function of a very similar (if not the same) name. 99% of what many people think of as "PHP" is really a thinly-disguised wrapper for functionality provided by the extension modules. 'Course, it took a TON of work to get those wrappers to work right, to play well together, to not mess up other wrappers in PHP, and so on! But the sooner you understand how PHP really "works" in relation to the extension modules, the better off you'll be. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Passing Form As Argument
Hi,
I'm new to the list so "Hello" to all. I'm drafting a function.php
page, which will be included() in the pages in need. How would I pass
a form as an argument of a function? From the name parameter of the
form element or perhaps an ID:
function checkForm(theForm){
//Form validation code omitted.
}
Also, I seem to recall some caution is needed when using user-defined
functions?

We must employ our own souls through art to give a
new form and a new meaning to nature or the world."
