Yeah, you said that in your first post. What I meant was where did it come
from?

What you have there is the output from print_r($_REQUEST). How exactly are
you getting that string? Why are you creating it as a literal array rather
than using $_REQUEST directly?

What you have there is the output from print_r($_REQUEST). How exactly are

-Stut

This is for saving data from custom fields created by the user I don't
know
what they are named so I can't use $_REQUEST[name] to pull them from the
array.
I am submitting a form to a script that will search thru the array and
find
the fields that are in there date18 text19 text20 these are user custom
fields that I do not know what they are named. I what to compare what is
in
the array  with a database table and if they match then save the
information
in the array for that item to the database.



Somehow you managed to get an array become a string..., if your are using
$_REQUEST directly, or a copy of it, then you should have an array.
I also don't really understand what you are trying to do, as 'date18' is a
key, not a value, and array_search searches vor values, in this case it
searches for the value 'date18' and then try's to get the key of that value,
but date18 is a key, so it would probably return false.

[Haydar Tuna]

Hello,
   Did you control your user privileges? May be, your database user 
don't have enough privileges for INSERT. If your database user have enough 
database privileges for INSERT, you must control your SQL. Firstly you 
should write your SQL to the screen with echo ($q) and then paste this in 
the mysql command line. If you get an errors, there is a problem on your 
SQL. :)

[PHP] Re: Data Types Problem

[Haydar Tuna]

Hello,
   Becuase PHP don't convert "01" string to integer 1. In the PHP 
help file :

PHP Help for type casting

When a string is evaluated as a numeric value, the resulting value and type 
are determined as follows.

The string will evaluate as a float if it contains any of the characters 
'.', 'e', or 'E'. Otherwise, it will evaluate as an integer.

The value is given by the initial portion of the string. If the string 
starts with valid numeric data, this will be the value used. Otherwise, the 
value will be 0 (zero). Valid numeric data is an optional sign, followed by 
one or more digits (optionally containing a decimal point), followed by an 
optional exponent. The exponent is an 'e' or 'E' followed by one or more 
digits.



You can use = = =  comparision operator for check your variable type 
and variable value at the same time:) $a = = = $b Identical TRUE if $a is 
equal to $b, and they are of the same type. (introduced in PHP 4)

Re: [PHP] PHP 5.2 + IE 7 = HTTP 304 in login procedure [SOLVED]

[Yannick Warnier]

The problem wasn't quite there. The 304 response was correct and didn't
really cause a problem in IE7.

In fact, the problem was somewhere else. As mentioned by someone in the
PHP doc comments (http://be.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php#64125 ),
IE is the only one to reject urls of the likes of
http://example_demo.littleweb.com/ because of the "_" character.

This means that basically IE will display the site without a problem,
but will not register any cookie, and of course will not mention it, so
it makes it all much easier to detect. The fact that FF and Opera get a
session each does not help at all in finding the problem.

Changing the URL to http://exampledemo.littleweb.com/ will work perfectly.

so you have 2 different version of php - try running 5.2.1 at home and see if 
that breaks
too.

sometime/somewhere __autoload functionaltiy became a chained affair - this has 
to do
with SPL - I have no idea whether the functionality was meant to change so that
you now have explicitly register your autoloader if you only
define __autload() ... that seems backassed but it may be the case, wouldn't be 
the first
time an arbitrary change to php5's OO functionality had it's BC broken.

try this page and do what it says on the tin - it may help:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.spl-autoload-functions.php

I very much doubt this has to do with the fact that it's a VPS.

[PHP] Caching options - trunkcache?

[Merlin]

Hi there,

I am looking for a replacement of php trunkcache. As far as I can see, 
there is no further development and I had to take it offline due a 
system update and compatibility issues.


What would you guys recommend for a free caching system on a LAMP 
environment running php 4.x apache 1.x and mysql 3.x


Thank you for any advice.

caching what exactly? opcodes? query results? abitrary data structures?
'pre-compiled' templates? html output? elephants?

try here: http://php.net/apc
or here?: http://www.google.nl/search?q=php4+caching

ps - there are currently no projects that support elephant caching, I'm fairly 
sure.

I don't know if it matters, but if the variables are coming from the url,
you could also retrieve them with $_GET
$messageID = $_GET["messageId"];
$userID = $_GET["userId"];

And in your link, i see it is pointing to page1.php, i don't know if that is
just a typo in the example

why use $_REQUEST? for this $_GET should be okay, and less confusing

Hi everyone,

I was hoping a problem like this wouldn't arise, but it happened :(

After the dst updates on my fedora box, this broke, and worked fine before.. 
now gives me 3/10 instead of 3/11 for strtotime("last sunday") anyone 
know why? 3/10 was saturday!




$recent_period = strtotime('last sunday');
echo date("Y-m-d", $recent_period);
print_r($periods);
$test_recent_period = array_search($recent_period, $periods);
if ($test_recent_period == '')
 $recent_period = strtotime('last sunday', $recent_period);

Somehow you managed to get an array become a string..., if your are using
$_REQUEST directly, or a copy of it, then you should have an array.
I also don't really understand what you are trying to do, as 'date18' is a
key, not a value, and array_search searches vor values, in this case it
searches for the value 'date18' and then try's to get the key of that value,
but date18 is a key, so it would probably return false.

Then how would I search for the Key date18 and once I find it how would I
get the value of that key. Because even if I change the date18 to it's value
03-13-2007 I still get the error Wrong datatype for second argument. I have
also tried print_r(array_keys($array)); and I get The first argument should
be an array.

Hi everyone,

I was hoping a problem like this wouldn't arise, but it happened :(

After the dst updates on my fedora box, this broke, and worked fine
before..
now gives me 3/10 instead of 3/11 for strtotime("last sunday") anyone
know why? 3/10 was saturday!



$recent_period = strtotime('last sunday');
echo date("Y-m-d", $recent_period);
print_r($periods);
$test_recent_period = array_search($recent_period, $periods);
if ($test_recent_period == '')
  $recent_period = strtotime('last sunday', $recent_period);

first, you should make clear what array you use where
what is the output of var_dump($_REQUEST) ?
and what is the output of var_dump($array) ?
if there is difference between the above two, then there might be some
bug in your code where you create $array from $_REQUEST

hope that helps

Somehow you managed to get an array become a string..., if your are using
$_REQUEST directly, or a copy of it, then you should have an array.
I also don't really understand what you are trying to do, as 'date18' is a
key, not a value, and array_search searches vor values, in this case it
searches for the value 'date18' and then try's to get the key of that
value,
but date18 is a key, so it would probably return false.

Then how would I search for the Key date18 and once I find it how would I
get the value of that key. Because even if I change the date18 to it's
value
03-13-2007 I still get the error Wrong datatype for second argument. I
have
also tried print_r(array_keys($array)); and I get The first argument
should
be an array.



if you know the name of a key, then u can just retrieve the value with
$value= $array[$key]

But your $array doesn't look like an array..
try var_dump($array);

Re: [PHP] PHP 5.2 + IE 7 = HTTP 304 in login procedure [SOLVED]

[Doctorrock]

2007/3/12, Yannick Warnier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


The problem wasn't quite there. The 304 response was correct and didn't
really cause a problem in IE7.

In fact, the problem was somewhere else. As mentioned by someone in the
PHP doc comments (http://be.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php#64125 ),
IE is the only one to reject urls of the likes of
http://example_demo.littleweb.com/ because of the "_" character.

This means that basically IE will display the site without a problem,
but will not register any cookie, and of course will not mention it, so
it makes it all much easier to detect. The fact that FF and Opera get a
session each does not help at all in finding the problem.

Changing the URL to http://exampledemo.littleweb.com/ will work perfectly.

According to RFC1033 (

underscores are forbidden in DNS names, including subdomains.

Yeah, meaning that the program where you created the subdomain with is not
following the RFC standards.

[PHP] Re: Troubles from the newb again

[Steve]

The way I see it, you have two ways to avoid that error:

1) If you want to preserve indexes:

foreach ($array as $index => $name)
{
 if ($name->currentHP >0)
{
 $newarray[$index] = $name;
}
}

2) If you don't care about indexes at all
foreach ($array as $name)
{
 if ($name->currentHP >0)
{
 $newarray[] = $name;
}
}

Either way should make the error go away. The reason why it's coming up is 
because it looks like the $name value is non-numeric. Storing this stuff in 
arrays is perfectly acceptable, however using them as indexes is not.

Don't blame the tool. I've never had a problem with the amount of OOP
support in PHP4.


That's just taste. I started feeling very comfortable when I got to use 
constructors, destructors (very important, especially when dealing with 
DB objects), and even more with __autoload() and clone (referencing by 
default was a great thing).


I have to say, life is easier with PHP5 :-)

Or a hidden field  but, since you mentioned the value 
might be large, it might either be advisable to take any of David's 
sugestions or change to a method=post.

[PHP] stream_get_contents() quite slow

[Francois Aichelbaum]

Hi guys,

I'm using stream_get_contents() to parse content of an HTTP session I 
opened with fsockopen. My requests headers is just fine and transmission 
is OK : (0.0007s)


But when I read the HTTP answer with stream_get_contents(), it lasts 
about 2.5s !

The webpage is about 5 kB.

The connection is opened on the box and ... itself. I use some OpenVZ on 
the machine. If I use links on commandline to test speed  (or even ab) 
the webpage is loaded about 0.6s !


But I need to use stream_get_contents() to continue on the opened 
connection to get the response of my specific request.


I don't know where to look for about this slow down...

Regards,
Francois.

[PHP] Redirecting in a PHP script

[Larry Bradley]

I need to "goto"  different PHP pages in my web site depending on what 
happens within some PHP code.


For example, if the user is not logged in when he goes to a page, I want to 
send him to a LOGIN page.


I've have everything working fine, using the following Javascript code:
$location = 'login.php';
echo "\n";
echo "document.location.href = '" . $location . "';\n";
echo "\n";

I also played around with using the header("location: ...") function.

I understand that the header() function must be issued before any HMTL is 
output.


But I'm not sure about the Javascript code. In every instance in my code, I 
use the Javascript before any HTML - this type of action normally occurs in 
PHP code called via a form POST.


I presume that the Javascript code really does the same as the PHP stuff, 
and thus must obey the same rules, but I'm not sure.

Comments?

There's a difference in them, as the php header function defines the
redirect in the header, meaning that all body is not even parsed. And it
works also if javascript is disabled.
I prefer the header function, but if you already have data parsed, the
javascript could to the job, but even then it needs to be inside the 
tags i believe, or else it won't get automatically executed.

Unless the up2date binary is in the current directory, leave off the './' at

I don't understand it completly i think, but you are printing PHP code.
I think you are printing it now like so:
echo '
Listen To This';
then you should change it to
echo '
Listen To This';

Is this from PHP or from bash?

Re: [PHP] Redirecting in a PHP script

From: "Larry Bradley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Sent: Monday, March 12, 2007 9:02 PM
Subject: [PHP] Redirecting in a PHP script



I need to "goto"  different PHP pages in my web site depending on what
happens within some PHP code.

For example, if the user is not logged in when he goes to a page, I want 
to

send him to a LOGIN page.

I've have everything working fine, using the following Javascript code:
$location = 'login.php';
echo "\n";
echo "document.location.href = '" . $location . "';\n";
echo "\n";

I also played around with using the header("location: ...") function.

I understand that the header() function must be issued before any HMTL is
output.

But I'm not sure about the Javascript code. In every instance in my code, 
I
use the Javascript before any HTML - this type of action normally occurs 
in

PHP code called via a form POST.

I presume that the Javascript code really does the same as the PHP stuff,
and thus must obey the same rules, but I'm not sure.
Comments?

The header function fails if anything at all is sent to the browser, be it 
plain HTML, JavaScript code or even a single space.   The header function 
does not differentiate between the visible part of the page (that within the 
) or what goes before, it fails even if a whitespace is sent before 
the  or 

A redirect via JavaScript can be done at any time and it is no different 
than a user clicking on a  tag.  It will be executed when found or 
when invoked.  If not contained within a function, it will be executed at 
once, no matter if the full page has not been loaded yet.  If within a 
function, whenever it is called.


Notice, though, the effect on the History.  The header() call will have only 
the destination page stored on the History, the JavaScript will have both 
the original and the final destination.   Thus, redirecting with JavaScript 
will get you into a loop if after reaching the destination you click on the 
back button, because you will fall in the page containing the redirection. 
I'm sure you found places like that.  The only way to actually go back in 
those is to open the dropdown list for the back button and skip over one 
item.  That does not happen when using the header() PHP function.

I've found clicking really fast can get you back :)

That is my recommendation also despite the success of frantic clicking

Re: [PHP] Redirecting in a PHP script

[Richard Lynch]

You also may want to consider just using an 'include' instead of
bouncing the poor user around like a basketball in re-directs.

Each re-direct sends traffic back and forth over the network, which
could be slow/flaky.

Plus you are chewing up HTTP connections on your web-server, and
that's an expensive resource on a busy server.

If your architect a web application correctly in the first place, you
don't need a header re-direct, imho.

Simply pull in the correct PHP code to do what you want, when you
want, and give the user the answer now, instead of making them get
back in line for another HTTP request to get their answer.

Re: [PHP] Extract url from string

[Richard Lynch]

The problem is that "URL" has a very specific meaning, and includes a
BUNCH of complexities you may or may not need...

Download "The Regex Coach" and play around with some sample inputs
until you find what works for your needs, which is not a full-blown
URL detector, since that would be very complicated indeed.

You switched from Id to ID (capital 'D') and probably switched back

Re: [PHP] Caching options - trunkcache?

[Richard Lynch]

APC is getting rolled into PHP 6, allegedly.

So that's kind of a no-brainer to choose, imho, as then you can be
forwards-compatible with something that turns into the PHP Dev Teams'
maintenance work instead of your own.

Zend Cache may still be faster, as they got the jump on the PHP code
caching game.  So if you've got the $$$, benchmark both and see which
helps you more.

YMMV

Re: [PHP] Installing php and mysql on linux

[Edward Vermillion]

You've either got path problems or up2date is not installed. That's  
what 'command not found' means, it can't find the 'up2date' command.


Do you just want to start the MySQL server? Or are you trying to  
update the MySQL rpm?


You should be able to start the server with a '/etc/init.d/mysql  
start', as root. If that doesn't work try 'mysqld' in place of  
'mysql'. I don't remember which one Fedora uses.


If you're trying to update the rpm then make sure you have up2date  
installed. 'rmp -qa | grep up2date' should get you something. If it  
is installed then try to ad the complete path to up2date, I can't  
remember where it is off the top of my head but '/usr/bin/up2date' or  
'/usr/sbin/up2date' should get it.


I would also suggest you either look online or get a good book on  
linux administration, especially if this system is doing anything  
important. As root you can really mess it up if you don't know what  
you're doing. And you could probably find a good used book fairly  
cheap. You shouldn't need to get the latest and greatest as the basic  
administration stuff has been relatively standard for quite a few  
years now.


Good Luck!

Re: [PHP] Data Types Problem

[Richard Lynch]

By definition, all HTTP data is of type 'string' because that's the
ONLY data type HTTP supports.

PHP will cheerfully typecast it to whatever it needs to be later, but
when it first comes in from the GET (or POST or COOKIE or whatever)
data, it's going to start its life as a string, no matter how it
looks.

If you *know* it should be integer, typecast it as you get it:

$foo = (int) $_GET['foo'];

Do this to a) self-document your code, b) foil a ton of web-bots and
nasty people trying to cram the wrong kind of data into your
application to break/abuse it.

Re: [PHP] xml parsing

[Richard Lynch]

I don't think that's valid XML, because you are mixing your content
with your XML tags in a way that will confuse the two...

If you can FIX the XML by using the CDATA stuff, or htmlentities
encoding the HTML or something, that would be best.

If you are STUCK with this bogus XML, you could probably write your
own parser for something this simple/small in about an hour using
http://php.net/strtok and friends...

Perhaps try sending various no-cache headers and a Date-Modified with

the basis for my original post. Does anyone know where I can go to download 
(aside from the red hat site where i would need to gather license info) a 
php-mysql rpm?

You've either got path problems or up2date is not installed. That's  what 
'command not found' means, it can't find the 'up2date' command.


Do you just want to start the MySQL server? Or are you trying to  update 
the MySQL rpm?


You should be able to start the server with a '/etc/init.d/mysql  start', 
as root. If that doesn't work try 'mysqld' in place of  'mysql'. I don't 
remember which one Fedora uses.


If you're trying to update the rpm then make sure you have up2date 
installed. 'rmp -qa | grep up2date' should get you something. If it  is 
installed then try to ad the complete path to up2date, I can't  remember 
where it is off the top of my head but '/usr/bin/up2date' or 
'/usr/sbin/up2date' should get it.


I would also suggest you either look online or get a good book on  linux 
administration, especially if this system is doing anything  important. As 
root you can really mess it up if you don't know what  you're doing. And 
you could probably find a good used book fairly  cheap. You shouldn't need 
to get the latest and greatest as the basic  administration stuff has been 
relatively standard for quite a few  years now.


Good Luck!

I would hazard a guess that as you try to pass the data along from
page to page, at some point you did something like:



Don't do that.

print_r is nice for humans to read, but totally useless for PHP to
re-construct an array.

You'll need to do more like this:
$v){
echo "\n";
  }
?>

But if $v itself is an array (possibly) then you need to write this
recursively...

I think you might be better off *NOT* passing this data around in your
form, but using sessions.
http://php.net/session_start

Or I could be totally wrong in my theory, too. :-)

Ok, been listening/reading this for a few days now.

Are you wanting to get the block size of a file that you plan on 
downloading from a server to your local computer?


If so, is your client going to be on a windows box or *nix box or mac?

They all have different block size.

Default for linux is 1024, default for openbsd is 512, and probably even 
different for a mac even though it is running a flavor of bsd.


You can see how this might cause a problem in determining the number of 
blocks that a given file will occupy once downloaded.


There is now php/javascript/html/css/etc... function that will give you 
the block size of the client.  Only then would you be able to calculate 
the actually number of blocks that will be required for any given download.


You can, how ever, calculate the number of blocks that a file takes up 
on a server, by looking at various specs on the system.

ls -s 
will return to you the number of blocks that a file occupies on the 
server file system.  This number may, but probably not, correspond to 
the number of blocks the same file will occupy on your client system.


Hope this clears things up a bit.

I will be glad to offer more advice if more is needed.

I don't know.

But MySQL is just DYING to TELL you what went wrong.

mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());

is what you should be using.

For now.

Later, you'll want a better error handling method than "or die()"

If you are calling this function a ridiculous number of times, you
could use a static variable.

function convert_from_weekday($weekday){
  static $weeks = '';
  if ($weeks === '') $weeks = array('Sonntag', 'Montag', ...);
}

It's kind of a shame that PHP won't let you just initialize a static
to an array, but there it is.

Almost for sure, a 'switch' is going to win over the array hash lookup
in almost all cases, as the switch is built into the opcodes, and not
an array hash lookup.

If I understood a thread on Internals last month correctly,
internally, the order of the case statements does matter, somewhat,
but you *DO* have to be calling something a ZILLION times for it to
matter in the real world.

Stressing out over performance instead of maintainability is almost
always the wrong way to start a project.

You don't want to be a complete idiot, but often-times the performance
bottle-neck ends up being somewhere entirely different from where you
expected anyway.

Write the code as straight-forward and maintainable as you can first.

Then measure it for performance to see if it's acceptable.

There is a steel wall between the non-HTTPS and the HTTPS
pages/site/functionality.

If you authenticate users outside the steel wall, you then have to
pass them and their credentials THROUGH the steel wall.

Better off to do all of 1, 2, and 3 inside HTTPS.

Plus, the whole point of HTTPS is to stop network sniffers from
over-hearing passwords and other sensitive data, and if you
authenticate outside HTTPS, then you are sending the authentication
credentials over the wire for anybody to hear, so what's the point?

Don't store the password into the session data, imho.

If they authenticate, just store their username or user_id.
If they don't authenticate, don't store anything in session.

Valid username in session == authenticated user.

Compare the output of  on the two pages, one with

99% of the time, using variable variables means you screwed up and
should have used an array. :-)

The 1% remaining is something that should be attempted only by

In PHP5, the whole reference thing changed all around.

the same class defined twice.

Frankly, it's pretty ugly, if you ask me...

You may need to put something like this on the remote server:


Or maybe not, as PHP may be smart enough to handle something like this
on your local server:
The PHP homepage is currently this large:
http://php.net/');?>

I have no idea what you mean by "size on disk" number.

Bytes is bytes.

However big the file is, that's how big it is.

Well, maybe, under Windows, there is some other meaningless weird
number you can get... [shrug]

Re: [PHP] RE: looking for two remote functions

[Richard Lynch]

It seems MUCH more likely to me that the filesize() is being used on
some kind of URL that does a re-direct -- and the filesize() may not
follow the re-direct for you...

The size is the size, in bytes.

Overhead in the local OS for block management is not something PHP
will be able to predict for you, I don't think.

No.

And there cannot be, as any given variable could have multiple
references and be passed around through several functions, getting a
different name each time.

You probably should be putting 'foo' and 'abc' into an array instead.

$foobar['foo'] = 'abc';

You can then address 'foo' and 'abc' with various array functions.

Re: [PHP] php, oci8 and oracle

[Richard Lynch]

PHP runs in the sandbox of the HTTP apache server, but I don't think
it inherits all of its Env variables...

At any rate, the answer you probably want is:



NOTE:
I began as "the answer guy" on this mailing list back when I realized
that the dude answering this same dang ORACLE_HOME question every week
was the same dude that could be fixing/adding PHP code to make PHP
better (Rasmus Lerdorf) instead of answering this same question every
week.

Back then, I had no idea what this setEnv thingie did, or what
ORACLE_HOME was all about -- I just parrotted back the answer, as it
hadn't changed in 6 months. :-)

Thank you for this nostalgic reminder of how I became arguably
"famous" in PHP. :-)

I'm also betting that you could find this answer in the mailing list
archives, the PHP FAQ and at http://php.net/oci

Just guessing.

A couple preg matches, or even just strtok and call it done...

preg_match_all('|.*([^<]*).*(f

This is where you use variable variables when you don't know that you

Re: [PHP] Intro to PHP question

[Richard Lynch]

You have managed to confuse the isntallation process and the way Perl
works with the way PHP works.

If you want to write a custom CGI script for each and every PHP, and
prepend #!/usr/local/bin/php, you just MIGHT be able to do it the way
you're doing it...

But don't do that. :-)

Configure Apache to use PHP, and don't make uri.php executable and
don't run it from the command line, and use something like:
php -q uri.php
when you want to run it from the command line.

Re: [PHP] Oracle XMLTYPE column truncates

[Richard Lynch]

DB truncation could be either of the following:

#1.
The column is not large enough to hold that data.
Research LONGTEXT and BLOB

#2.
The query buffer is not large enough to pass the data in.
Re-configure your db/php setup.


Note that cramming all that XML into the DB seems kinda silly to me,
unless you are using Oracle XML functionality on the data.

We've beaten this horse to death lately, but you should CONSIDER the
option of just storing the XML in a file, and the filename in the DB.

Read the "images in db" thread last week to view the dead horse.

Why? It's in the $_GET array. Just need to build the key.

It never worked properly the first time around, but you never noticed
the lack of quotes around "$name" because none of your filenames had
spaces or other "interesting" characters in them.

It only "breaks" when your $name has something other than a printable
character.

Actually, Content-Disposition also only works on newer browsers, but
that's another story...

If you want to force a download, the only correct type is
application/octet-stream.

If you want EVERY browser ever made to do the right thing for that
"Save As..." popup, then Content-Disposition is not the way to go, as
it won't work on legacy [*] browsers.

I ranted about this a big long time ago here:
http://richardlynch.blogspot.com

* There may not BE any real users of said legacy browsers any more,
mind you, but there it is.  I got bit hard by this Content-disposition
change and will never use it, no matter what decade we are in.

Re: [PHP] $35 to the first person who can do this XML-parsing PHP script

[Myron Turner]

Richard Lynch wrote:

For something that simple in PHP4, I didn't even bother with the
50-line expat lib solution...

A couple preg matches, or even just strtok and call it done...

$xml = implode('', file('www.librarytools.com/events/sampledata.txt'));

preg_match_all('|.*([^<]*).*(f

var_dump($eventdata);

I probably got the regex wrong -- I usually do...
  
Of course, there are all kinds of hacks which can be used for simple 
situations--even sometimes complex situations.  I recently wrote a Perl 
script for a complex screen-scraping task which by-passed all of Perl's 
standard parsers and used Perl's regular expression facilities.  But 
then I know how to use Perl's parsers if I have to, as well as when not 
to use them if I prefer.  So now Rob Gould, who asked the original 
question, knows a few things about the expat parser which he didn't 
understand before and will be able to use it in the future. That seems 
to me worthwhile, and more useful in the long run than scratching out a 
few regular expression hacks that have limited local applicability.

Re: [PHP] Javascript and PHP interaction

[Richard Lynch]

What you *COULD* do is this:

Use .htaccess to force your .css files to *really* be PHP files:


  ForceType application/x-httpd-php


[NOTE: Depending on your server configuration, the
application/x-httpd-php part could be *ANYTHING* the sysadmin felt was
appropriate...]

Inside your CSS, you now have the full-blown power of PHP to output
whatever you think is "right" for the CSS.

But you'll need to tell the browser that this *IS* CSS output, so
you'll need:

at the very tip-top.

Note that browsers can cache the CSS, so you'll want to add more
headers to stop that, probably, or have a random value in the LINK tag
in your HTML document.
