Because if you initialize EVERY variable, register_globals on/off has zero effect. The last paragraph you are replying to is actually mine and your first paragraph is right, I don't know what register_globals on implies because I never had it and, fortunately, my ISP doesn't have it that way either so, indeed, I lack experience with register_globals because I never had to deal with that and I should have remained quiet. I come from languages where you not only have to initialize a variable but have to declare it as well so initializing comes natural, I feel wrong if I don't do it, even if the interpreter does not care.

Yes, I do have it setup right to display my errors, the reason why I wasnt getting any input is because when the array was matched to range(1,24) and the other array had nothing in it, I was either getting a list of numbers 1 though 24 or nothing at all. - Rob - Original Message - From: "Stut" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Rob W." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 4:08 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Still trying to figure this out...

A single "=" it's an assignment, not a comparison; and though it
sometimes work, you shouldn't compare strings with "==", but using
string functions, such as strcmp()... or similar_text(), etc.

When you say == the answer is always correct -- does that mean even when the
answer is wrong? If so, then there's something else going on here.
But, I believe the answer is:
if ($_REQUEST['x'] == $correct_answers[$page-1]) {
This will compare the two and if they are the same will report true. You should
read the manual.

Why would they be different? Seems like they have add some extra whitespace?

Soted it was an extra whitespace character being added to the posted answer.

[PHP] Re: comparing a string
Rafael wrote: A single "=" it's an assignment, not a comparison; and though it sometimes work, you shouldn't compare strings with "==", but using string functions, such as strcmp()... or similar_text(), etc. This is PHP, not C. Operators such as == support strings for a reason, people should use them as such. If you need to ensure type, (so that 0 == "foo" doesn't return true), then you can use ===. Using a function call that does more than you need when there is an operator to achieve the same goal is bad advice. Not to mention the fact that it leads to harder to read code. Which of these has a more readily apparent meaning? if ( strcmp($foo,$bar) == 0 ) if ( $foo === $bar ) Regards, Adam Zey. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] mysql_db_query & INSERT
After you do your first insert, do: $insertedid = mysql_insert_id(); That will give you the autoincrement ID from the last INSERT you did. Note, this doesn't retrieve the last autoincrement ID from any insert, just the last one for thta specific mysql connection. So you don't have to worry about about user's INSERT messing up your operations. Another note, as a bit of trivia, some database systems allow access to both the last ID inserted for your session or the last ID inserted by any sessions. Been a couple of years, but I believe in MS SQL Server, using SQL, it was "SELECT @IDENTITY" to get the last inserted ID from any session and "SELECT @@IDENTITY" (two @'s) to get the last one inserted by your session. Last note, if you do a mysql_close() or break the connection somehow, you've closed that particular session. Even if you re-open it, you can't do mysql_insert_id() to retrieve your last insert since it's tied to that particular connection. Once it's closed, you no longer have a handle that points to the previous operations (at least that's how I remember it working.. could always be some caveats I've forgotten). -TG = = = Original message = = = At 8:47 AM +0600 6/20/06, Prathaban Mookiah wrote: >I have run into a tricky situation and need some help to work my way through >the problem.

[PHP] complex control structure- please help
Hi all,
This may not be complex at all- maybe my head is just screwed up this
afternoon!
I am looping through arrays all at one time for the following-
$filter_subject
$filter_body
$filter_email
$filter_subject_like
$filter_body_like
$filter_email_like
Examples of the following could be-
$filter_subject[0] = "This is the subject";
$filter_body[0] = "This is the body";
$filter_email[0] = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$filter_subject_like[0] = "";
$filter_body_like[0] = "";
$filter_email_like[0] = "";
$filter_subject[1] = "";
$filter_body[1] = "";
$filter_email[1] = "";
$filter_subject_like[1] = "lots of nice things";
$filter_body_like[1] = "horrible body text";
$filter_email_like[1] = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$filter_subject[2] = "";
$filter_body[2] = "";
$filter_email[2] = "";
$filter_subject_like[2] = "Lots of nice things";
$filter_body_like[2] = "";
$filter_email_like[2] = "";
$filter_subject[3] = "";
$filter_body[3] = "This is the complete body";
$filter_email[3] = "";
$filter_subject_like[3] = "Part of the subject";
$filter_body_like[3] = "";
$filter_email_like[3] = "";
I then run something like the following on the variables $subject,
$body, $email, $subject_like, $body_like and $email_like
for($e=0;$e
if($subject == $filter_subject[$e])
{$found_subject = 1;}// Subject has been found
if($body == $filter_body[$e])
{$found_body = 1;}// Body has been found
if($email == $filter_email[$e])
{$found_email = 1;}// Email has been found
if(strpos($subject_like, $filter_subject_like[$e]))
{$found_subject_like = 1;}// Subject(like) has been found
if(strpos($body_like, $filter_body_like[$e]))
{$found_body_like = 1;}// Body(like) has been found
if(strpos($email_like, $filter_email_like[$e]))
{$found_email_like = 1;}// Email(like) has been found
...
}
What I want to do is work out if (from the above examples) the following
(not written in php by the way, just in kind of english)
example 0 -
if - ($subject == "This is the subject" AND $body == "This is the body"
AND $email == "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") THEN DO THE FOLLOWING
example 1 -
if - ($subject == "lots of nice things" AND $body_like contains
"horrible body text" AND $email contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") THEN DO THE
FOLLOWING
example 2
if - ($subject contains "Lots of nice things") THEN DO THE FOLLOWING
example 3
if - ($body == "This is the complete body" AND $subject contains "Part
of the subject") THEN DO THE FOLLOWING
How can I organise a control structure so that I can do the above? My
brain is hurting and I could do with some thoughts from you guys!

Since you query all enregs from table why not query all first and

Querying all data in the first place is a waste, and the practice of
seeking through a dataset seems silly when MySQL has the "LIMIT" feature
to specify which data you want to return.
I believe the proper way to do this would be something like this
(Simplified example, of course):
$query = "SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_FOWS * FROM foo LIMIT 30, 10";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$query = "SELECT found_rows()";
$num_rows = mysql_result(mysql_query($query), 0);
That should be much faster than the methods used by either of you guys.
As a comment, it would have been better to do "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM foo"
and reading the result rather than doing "SELECT * FROM foo" and then
mysql_num_rows(). Don't ask MySQL to collect data if you're not going to
use it! That actually applies to why you shouldn't use mysql_data_seek
either.

[PHP] shutting down a web app for maintenance
Hello All, I'm not sure this is strictly a PHP related question or perhaps a server admin question as well. What do you do when you are trying to shutdown a web application for maintenance (like a membership or registration-required system)? I understand that you can temporarily upload or activate a holding page that prevents users from continuing to login/use the system, but how can you insure that there are no ongoing sessions or users still in the process of doing something? What's the best method for handling this, especially if you don't have full control of the server hosting the web app?

Re: [PHP] shutting down a web app for maintenance
Hi Jon, Thanks for the response. What would these solutions mean in regards to users who are active at the moment that the .htaccess file is added? Would it be wise to force some kind of logout, destruction of open sessions, etc. I guess there is no simple, graceful way to allow users to complete whatever they are doing and then kick them off while preventing new users from logging in. I was thinking for example, what if someone is in the process of uploading a file to the web app host or filling out step 2 of a 4 part membership form or something that requires multiple steps. - Ben On 6/20/06, Jon Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Assuming you're using a web server that supports htaccess files, you could easily just pop in a .htaccess file that denies access to everything.

[PHP] Re: shutting down a web app for maintenance
Shutting down Apache would do the trick ;) But if you're in a shared hosting environment that may not be possible. As for sessions, it depends how you track them. You can't kill all PHP sessions in one go, but you could have your web app nuke the sessions of users after they come back after maintenance. Something like first_login_after_maint in the database, that if set to true, mandates that any existing session data be destroyed before continuing. I assume that the reason you want to kill session data is because the data and how it is used would be different after the maintenance? Because otherwise, if you've denied all access to ANY of your webapp's php scripts, it shouldn't matter if the user has session data. If you physically move the web app's PHP scripts (Or set up a redirect, etc), they can't do anything with it. Regards, Adam Ben Liu wrote: Thanks Adam, What you say makes good sense to me.

How about iterating through the /tmp directory and deleting all the session cookies? On second thought, that would kill all the sessions for other apps as well. I assume that the reason you want to kill session data is because the data and how it is used would be different after the maintenance? Because otherwise, if you've denied all access to ANY of your webapp's php scripts, it shouldn't matter if the user has session data. If you physically move the web app's PHP scripts (Or set up a redirect, etc), they can't do anything with it. I didn't have a specific reason for doing it, just wasn't sure what the ramifications of having open sessions alive through the maintenance period and afterward might be so I thought it best to just kill them. It doesn't sound like anything horrible can happen except some inconvenience maybe. Regards, Adam Ben Liu wrote: > Thanks Adam, > > What you say makes good sense to me.

If you really want to keep the p?name syntax, I would suggest throwing them in
an array with keys.
$arr["p1name"]
$arr["p2name"]
Then that way you can create the key dynamically:
$arr["p".$i."name"]
Not pretty, but it works.
Thanks,
I haven't checked this, but couldn't you reference it as $arr["p$iname"]
? Is there a reason why variable expansion wouldn't work in this
circumstance?
If it does, you could make it easier to read by doing $arr["p{$i}name"]
even though the {} aren't required. It'd be a lot easier to read than
concatenations :)

Are you sure that you don't want an array? Arrays are normally much
better for this type of thing.
That said,
${"p{$i}name"} = 'foo';

Both of those ways work. I think there's a question on the PHP Certification

Ahhh, got to love the fact that there's a question, yet no need for the
taker to actually understand the implications. Does anyone know if you

(inline) Adam Zey wrote: Rafael wrote: A single "=" it's an assignment, not a comparison; and though it sometimes work, you shouldn't compare strings with "==", but using string functions, such as strcmp()... or similar_text(), etc. This is PHP, not C. Operators such as == support strings for a reason, people should use them as such. You shouldn't rely on what other languages do, but the one you're working with; PHP has no explicit data-types and manages strings as PERL does. Just as you say there's a reason why "==" supports strings, there's also a reason (or more) for strcmp() to exists --it's just safer to use strcmp() instead of "==", e.g: 24 == "24/7" If you need to ensure type, (so that 0 == "foo" doesn't return true), then you can use ===. Using a function call that does more than you need when there is an operator to achieve the same goal is bad advice. I think you haven't encounter a "special case" to make you understand "==" does NOT have the same behaviour as strcmp() It's just like the (stranger) case of the loop for ( $c = 'a'; $c <= 'z'; $c ++ ) echo $c; Not to mention the fact that it leads to harder to read code. Which of these has a more readily apparent meaning? if ( strcmp($foo,$bar) == 0 ) if ( $foo === $bar ) That might be true, either way you need to know the language to understand what the first line does and that the second isn't a typo. -- Atentamente / Sincerely, J.

It might be nice though if somewhere in the instructions it says, hey, you might need to do this.

If I compile without the jpeg it works like a charm - so I recompiled libjpeg thinking it may have gotten screwed up, but same errors. So the question is, why can't it find these files? Any ideas on what else I can do. I'm assuming that other people have this working on Slackware, if so, how did they do it? I posted to that forum as well and didn't get one answer. Please always CC the list - you'll get more (and faster) help. As David suggested, try adding this: --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr to the php configure command. If that doesn't work, where is the jpeglib.h file? Mine is in the /usr/include folder, so I use /usr for the --with-jpeg-dir parameter. If that file doesn't exist anywhere on your system, you haven't got the headers installed for libjpeg. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] complex control structure- please help
IG wrote:
Hi all,
This may not be complex at all- maybe my head is just screwed up this
afternoon!
I am looping through arrays all at one time for the following-
$filter_subject
$filter_body
$filter_email
$filter_subject_like
$filter_body_like
$filter_email_like
Examples of the following could be-
$filter_subject[0] = "This is the subject";
$filter_body[0] = "This is the body";
$filter_email[0] = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$filter_subject_like[0] = "";
$filter_body_like[0] = "";
$filter_email_like[0] = "";
$filter_subject[1] = "";
$filter_body[1] = "";
$filter_email[1] = "";
$filter_subject_like[1] = "lots of nice things";
$filter_body_like[1] = "horrible body text";
$filter_email_like[1] = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$filter_subject[2] = "";
$filter_body[2] = "";
$filter_email[2] = "";
$filter_subject_like[2] = "Lots of nice things";
$filter_body_like[2] = "";
$filter_email_like[2] = "";
$filter_subject[3] = "";
$filter_body[3] = "This is the complete body";
$filter_email[3] = "";
$filter_subject_like[3] = "Part of the subject";
$filter_body_like[3] = "";
$filter_email_like[3] = "";
I then run something like the following on the variables $subject,
$body, $email, $subject_like, $body_like and $email_like
for($e=0;$e if($subject ==
$filter_subject[$e]) {$found_subject = 1;}//
Subject has been found
if($body == $filter_body[$e])
{$found_body = 1;}// Body has been found
if($email == $filter_email[$e])
{$found_email = 1;}// Email has been found
if(strpos($subject_like, $filter_subject_like[$e]))
{$found_subject_like = 1;}// Subject(like) has been found
if(strpos($body_like, $filter_body_like[$e]))
{$found_body_like = 1;}// Body(like) has been found
if(strpos($email_like, $filter_email_like[$e]))
{$found_email_like = 1;}// Email(like) has been found
...
}
What I want to do is work out if (from the above examples) the following
(not written in php by the way, just in kind of english)
example 0 -
if - ($subject == "This is the subject" AND $body == "This is the body"
AND $email == "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") THEN DO THE FOLLOWING
example 1 -
if - ($subject == "lots of nice things" AND $body_like contains
"horrible body text" AND $email contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") THEN DO THE
FOLLOWING
example 2
if - ($subject contains "Lots of nice things") THEN DO THE FOLLOWING
example 3
if - ($body == "This is the complete body" AND $subject contains "Part
of the subject") THEN DO THE FOLLOWING
How can I organise a control structure so that I can do the above? My
brain is hurting and I could do with some thoughts from you guys!
You're most of the way there.
convert it to php code and you're basically done:
if ($body == '...') {
echo "Body is $body\n";
}
and so on.
I don't see the problem here ?

If you're putting this into a type box you need to encode it not decode it. htmlspecialchars or htmlentities will do it for you. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

When you say == the answer is always correct -- does that mean even when the
answer is wrong? If so, then there's something else going on here.
But, I believe the answer is:
if ($_REQUEST['x'] == $correct_answers[$page-1]) {
This will compare the two and if they are the same will report true. You
should read the manual.
