[PHP] Graphs
I would like to add some graphing capability to an app of mine. What package is recommended? I don't need anything too fancy, just some bar graphs, pie charts, etc. Thank you in advance.

Re: [PHP] Login script login
Hi Stut,
I think i have found where i am going wrong.
Its in the comparison login for the db result.
So i select * from jfjfjfjf where custno=$_POST[number]
But now i am getting messed up with if cust no not found then all i get
is a blank page but hoping for an error
And i dont think i am comparing the db result with the $_POST correctly
Struggling here a bit :-(

because you get an empty result set if no match is found
so check it like
if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
// ok, found
} else {
// not found, error
}
or whatever sql you use
hope that helps

[PHP] Reading from the htpasswd file
Hey, *** Warning: feeling a bit braindead today after working long hours yesterday so please excuse if some parts are crappy*** I have a pal who uses a htpasswd file for access to his site.. rather than using basic_auth he wants to change it to form based _without_ a DB (ie user comes to his site and enters the username and password into a form, then submits it to the php script, the php script reads the htpasswd file and accordingly grants access or denies access if the login does not match) Am not so sure about this but before i can make an arguement against this, I should know something myself so my questions to you more knowledgeable guys are: 1. Is it such a good idea switching? 2.Wont the basic_auth pop up anyway even after entering these values into the form? 3. If having a hundreds (or even thousands) of user:pass combinations in the htpasswd file wont it make logging in longer and more processor intensive to search all of the combinations till you find (or not find) the login? Did some small code experiments before coming here asking for advise... can send you the code I have written if need be...but what i have found out is with small amounts of data i see no difference in speed of loggin in using the htpasswd file as the "login database".. Thanks for any input on the above. Cheers!

[PHP] Year
Hello all,
I am trying to populate a dropdown list to contain the current year to 10
years in the future. Below is the code I'm using:
http://php.net/date>('Y')+$y;
$short_years=date ('y')+$y;
echo "$short_years";
echo "$years";
}
?>
I want the selection value to be 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and the $years
accomplishes this. Howeverm I want the option value to be the two digit
year ex. 07, 08, 09, 10...the $short_years semi accomplishes thisinstead
of getting 07, 08, 08, 10 I get 7, 8, 9, 10...how can I get it to output the
two year for 07, 08, 09 without it cutting off the zero?
Reagrds,
Dan

I think it is because when you calculate $short_years it is an integer.
So insert the following before echoing it out:
if ($short_years < 10) {$short_years = "0" . $short_years;}
hope that helps

I am not a very experienced programmer, but I think that "str_replace"
can be used in this case:
$new_string=str_replace('|', '_', $old_string)
then use the same function to replace spaces.

Heyha, the mail's subject gone obsolete. preg_replace isn't
necessary at all.
Better use: $new = str_replace(array ("|"," "), "_", $old);

Re: [PHP] Re: scheduler algorithm
You may want to look at what various databases will do for you with
date arithmetic.
E.g., You can type this in MySQL:
select date_add('2007-01-31', interval 1 month);
I'm not sure what it will answer, but you can type that. :-)
In Postgresql, it's more like:
select '1/31/2007'::date + '1 month'::interval;
but the point is that somebody else has already solved this most
likely, and you should definitely not try to re-invent the wheel on
this one.

You can even go so far so to do both at once:
$text = str_replace(array('|', ' '), array('_', '_'), $text);
This does ignore the initial requirement of only replacing the ones
between quotes, however...
Something like this will honor the quotes restriction:
$text = preg_replace_all('/(".*)[| ](.*")/", '\\1_\\2', $text);
I probably got the PCRE wrong, but it's close.

Using the 2-digit year as your value is almost for sure a really Bad
Idea, unless you are dealing with legacy software that absolutely
needs it...

If he thinks the Basic Auth popup is "icky" then go ahead and get rid
of it. No biggie.
There's no great advantage to Basic Auth, and, actually, having the
authentication done in PHP can be beneficial if you want to start
doing some custom logging and user profile modeling of logins.
It's certainly possible to get access to that, or to integrate that
after the HTTP Basic Auth has been done, but it can be "cleaner" code
to have it all as one conceptual mess in PHP, instead of a mess in
HTTP Auth Apache and another in PHP.

Not unless you send the headers out, either with PHP, or with
.htaccess (or httpd.conf) settings to do HTTP Basic Authentication

Not really.
$file = file_get_contents('/full/path/to/htpasswd');
preg_match_all('/(.*):(.*)$/msU', $file, $htpassd);
//play games with array_flip or array_slice here to get
//an associative array of $users['username'] = 'password';

Whether reading the file or the DB is faster depends totally and your
hardware and network topology between web server and db server, or
lack thereof.
Nothing anybody else can say on this matter has any real meaning.

Satyam is correct: It's more secure to not indicate when the username was incorrect differently from an incorrect password. But it's definitely also (very much) less user-friendly. For example, in seldom-used applications where the user is very likely to forget their username, such as 99% of the stupid websites that require me to register for something that needs no security in the first place, it's a royal pain in the ass. :-) You have to balance Security against Usability and make an informed intelligent decision. I also wondered why you have an ID number that somebody is supposed to remember, and an email, when either one should be sufficient for most applications, but it was easier to type out an answer than to get you to re-think your design decisions. :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here.

If we're gonna get picuyane...
The Location header technically requires a full URL.
And using a re-direct instead of an include is a shocking waste of
HTTP resources imho, but that may not matter if traffic is low.

Sorry Richard, you solution fails since he wants to retain the leading
zeros on the 2 digit years. Using subtraction and not formatting the
result will result in the loss of the 0 in 07. Also, why call the date()
function 10 times by embedding it in the loop's terminate condition?

You go ahead and use XXX, because obviously the person making the statement is so clueless that any rational discussion is moot.

I generally redirect there because on occasion the login process does stuff like clear out potentially pre-existing session data from another part of the site. Having it happen again because of the user refreshing the page needs to be avoided. The redirect accomplishes this. -Stut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Because 10 calls to date() is chump-change.
If you need to optimize away 10 calls to date() then something is
horribly wrong...
That said, it's pretty trivial to optimize it:
for ($year = date('Y'), $end = date('Y) + 10; $year <= $end; $year++){
If PHP guarantees the order of operations in for(, ; ; ) you could
even use $year instead of date('Y) on the $end assignment. That's
really getting silly about optimization, however.
