[PHP] If MySQL column/field values are in an PHP array
I created an array using the following:
$in_list = "'".join("','",$cen_chiefs)."'"; //$cen_chiefs is an array
$query_cen_chiefs = "SELECT * FROM central WHERE CONCAT(strName,'
',strCity,' ',strState) IN({$in_list})";
How would I go about adding an AND clause to the above query to return all
rows where strName column values are in $in_list array
I acutally did the above w/ "SELECT * FROM central WHERE CONCAT(strName,'
',strCity,' ',strState)
IN({$in_list}) AND (strName) IN({$in_list}) ORDER BY conName"; // This
return zero rows.
I think I Should I be using strName as a pattern, because strName would be a
partial value of $in_list array values?
Something like: REGEXP '^.$'
"SELECT * FROM central WHERE CONCAT(strName,' ',strCity,' ',strState)
IN({$in_list}) AND (REGEXP '^strName$') IN({$in_list}) ORDER BY conName";
//This query doesn't work by the way. This is where I'm stuck.

If you go into a bookstore and take a book out without the permission of the store owner, that is stealing/theft and the victim is the store. (That permission is implicit in paying for it, since that involves a transfer of ownership, but it's the lack of permission that makes it illegal rather than the lack of money transfer.) If you then xerox that book and sell copies of that xerox to people on the street, that's copyright infringement and the victim is the copyright holder (note I said holder, not owner). If you go into a bookstore, pick up a book, and start reading it while standing next to the shelf, that may or may not be against store policy. Some stores actually have cafes where they encourage you to do exactly that, but others would ask you to leave. The first two are both illegal, and covered by two entirely different branches of law with two entirely different sets of reasoning behind them. The third is not illegal but a matter of policy on private property. And a side note, while this thread may not have anything to do with PHP code it is vitally important that those involved in the creation and business of information and expression understand copyright law. You don't need to be a professional lawyer, but the amount of misinformation out there about copyright, on all sides of the debate, is simply mind-boggling. That hurts everyone, because the law is not always doing what is "right" (by some definition of right). You can't know that, though, or make an informed decision about how you wan to license your work, unless you understand what the law actually is and why it is the way it is.

First of all, let's start by saying that this question is very OT on a
php-list. It would be a lot more appropriate on a mysql list. But, I'll
try to help you anyway. First of all, I have no clue what you're trying
to do. Give some values (ie. what's in $cen_chiefs, what does the
central table look like, and what does strName look like.
The whole problem here, afaics, is that you don't have a clear idea of
what you want. Tell us what you _want_ to do (not HOW, but what the
result should be) and we might be able to help.
Now,
SELECT * FROM central WHERE CONCAT(strName,' ',strCity,' ',strState)
IN({$in_list}) AND (REGEXP '^strName$') IN({$in_list}) ORDER BY conName
won't work simply because you're saying (php-style): if($foo == $a.'

[PHP] session_decode from session handler
I'm having an issue getting session_decode to work from my session handler in
PHP 5.2.3. Here's a short code snippet that demonstrates what I'm trying to do
(from my read handler) -
public function read($id) {
var_dump($data); // prints out the serialized session correctly
$retval = session_decode($data);
var_dump($_SESSION); // prints out "array(0) {}"
echo $retval; // prints false
return $data;
}
In my calling function, $_SESSION is updated with everything that was held in
$data, which means that $data was not corrupt - it worked when I returned it,
but it did not work when I used session_decode. This is a problem because I
want to change my read($id) function so that it decodes $data, adds something
extra to the $_SESSION, then re-encodes $data and returns it.
Thanks,
- Ryan

We live in a world of political correctness, to which we all object, but whenever we can, we add our own spin to the layers of complexities around us. And here is the crux of the point that I've been making. Information is not property. Property cannot be duplicated ad infinitim. Neither can digital information be duplicated ad infinitum. But what does that have to do with anything? Are you saying that only tangible objects can be stolen? Intellectual property certainly can be stolen. Your digital persona can be stolen. Are these not things that can be stolen? Information can, by its very nature. The concept of "theft" does not apply. The concept of restricting the flow of information is artificial (to answer someone else's question from earlier), whereas the laws of physics provide a natural restriction on the flow of goods. I'm not talking about information. I'm talking about thought processes committed to digital. Algorithms, code, art, words, pictures, music, and other forms of creativity that should have protection from the "flow of information" by people who don't want to pay for it. Also, you said: "Laws of Physics" provide a natural restriction on the flow of goods? That got a laugh out of me. Would you be so kind as to tell me what specific "Laws of Physics" pertain to the real world and not to the digital one? Would it surprise you that life it's self is digital? But, we're traveling into another topic to debate and I don't want to go there -- it's far more complex than this topic. You are the one buying into the "spin" by claiming that information is as permanently and inviolately restricted as atoms and molecules are. That is false. That does not make breaking the law "right", but it is a necessary fact of nature to understand if you want to understand the law and why the law exists (in theory). Well, you got me there! I'm clueless as to what the hell your talking about. Of course, the media moguls have spent decades selling that spin precisely because they want to confuse the issue. If you convince people that information is "property" in the same way that their house or car is, then you undermine the purpose of copyright (promoting social good, not private profit), undermine any attempts to reform the law, and undermine the basic precepts of both open source software (the free flow of information creates better expressive works through sharing) and Free software (restriction of the free flow of information is immoral). That's a mouthful, but totally wrong. Why shouldn't the media moguls protect their investment, after all it's their investment? You appear to expect everyone to provide you with information for free, is that it? Is murder "theft"? Of course not, but it's still illegal. Is rape "theft"? Of course not, but it's still illegal. Is arson "theft"? Of course not, but it's still illegal. Is jaywalking "theft"? Of course not, but it's still illegal. Is speeding "theft"? Of course not, but it's still illegal. Is copyright infringement "theft"? Of course not, but it's still illegal. Duh! Everyone of those example can be looked at as someone stealing something. Stealing life, stealing personal freedom, stealing use of processions, and so on. But, that's not at issue here. You have made this issue into is one of what the definition of infringement is. It is clearly the act of breaking the law by having in your procession, or for your use, something that you are not entitled. To me, that's stealing -- you call it what you want. My grandkids have learned that they should never get into a "No, you did." exchange because I can carry it on forever. However, considering that this topic is tangent to php copyright infringement/theft issue, I shall refrain from posting to this subject to the list again. If you want to take the discussion off-list, you're welcome. Larry, please understand that nothing that has been said in this exchange should be taken as a personal assault on you or your abilities -- you're simply expressing your opinion and I'm expressing mine.

[PHP] about SQL authentication on PHP
Hello:
I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server database with PHP using windows auth.
To do that I modified the PHP.ini file changing the line above:
...
; Use NT authentication when connecting to the server
mssql.secure_connection = Off
...
putting mssql.secure_connection = On
...
instead but when I tried to connect to SQL Server the function
mssql_connect('myserver', '', '') doesn't work.
What am I doing bad?
need I to do something else?
Help me please, waiting for your help,

Asunto: [PHP] working with class inheritance
Hey all, got a slight problem, where for some reasons my variables dont seem
to be getting stored in the child class:
e.g
class Parent
{
$private type;
public function __construct()
{
}
public function GetType()
{
return $this->type;
}
}
class Child implements Parent
{
$public function __construct()
$this->type= 'Child';
}
}
$Child= new Child();
echo $Child->getType;
Can u see any reason why the type would return null?
Thanks,
Jeff

[PHP] Re: If MySQL column/field values are in an PHP array
OK,
$cen_fields is an array of a store's Name, City, and State concatenated.
$cen_fields[0] echo'd looks like this: CHIEFS SUPERMARKET ST. MARYS OH
$cen_fields[1] echo'd looks like this: CHIEFS SUPERMARKET CELINA OH
$in_list is the concatenated store's Name, City, and State but formatted w/
commas for MySQL.
i.e.
>From > $in_list = "'".join("','",$cen_chiefs)."'";
$in_list echo'd looks like this:
'CHIEFS SUPERMARKET ST. MARYS OH','CHIEFS SUPERMARKET CELINA OH','CHIEFS
SUPERMARKET COLDWATER OH','CHIEFS SUPERMARKET DELPHOS OH','CHIEFS
SUPERMARKET DEFIANCE OH','CHIEFS SUPERMARKET BRYAN OH','CHIEFS SUPERMARKET
WAUSEON OH','CHIEFS SUPERMARKET PAULDING OH','CHIEFS SUPERMARKET NAPOLEON
OH'
The central table looks like the following: (There's more columns but to be
concise I added ones in question)
++-+--+
| strName| strCity |
strState |
++--+--+
| VILLAGE STORE 14 FRESH | WEST PENESIO | PA |
| VILLAGE STORE 19 FRESH | WEST PENESIO | PA |
| CHIEFS SUPERMARKET | ST. MARYS | OH |
++---++
So user fills in form. Table is populated with form data, and if the store
name, city, and state matches exactly to $in_list value it'll store form
data in this particular table.
With my current query, rows will be returned only if they match strName,
strCity, strState exactly.
In addition to that I want the query to return the rows where strName
matches partial $in_list array value
So if CHIEFS SUPERMARKET ST. MARYS OH is a value in $in_list If user only
enters "CHIEFS" and not CHIEFS SUPERMARKET I want to be able to return that
row also, even though it doesn't exactly match array value.
I hope this is more clear. I tried the MySQL forums but they are kinda slow
responding.

How did you get $data?
If it's just serialized data, you can simply call unserialize instead
of session_decode.

Since you're responding to someone else asking about such things where
there is the chance someone can just copy & paste... There really
should be a whitelist against your actions. This has the benefits of
making sure you know that your program is going to work as expected
whether or not a user is trying to be malicious or they copied the URL
incorrectly, etc.
This:
$action = isset($_GET['action']) ? $_GET['action'] : null;

Re: [PHP] session_decode from session handler
PHP passed $data to my write($id) function, and then I wrote it to the
database. In the code below, I have retrieved it from the database. I presume
that it used encode_session to generate $data.
I tried calling unserialize() on it for good measure, but it wasn't able to
parse the data. When I return $data from my method, though, PHP is able to
turn it into a $_SESSION.
Thanks,

Yeh that works fine (with the additional checks that Eric suggested).
But you're missing the point from the OP.
He wanted to AVOID having to do something to the effect of:
$var = null;
if (isset($really_long_var_name_here)) {
$var = $really_long_var_name_here;
} else {
$var = 'default_value';
}
Where $really_long_var_name_here is listed multiple times.
The function here: http://marc.info/?l=php-general&m=118476858504463&w=2
should do the trick but test for yourself.
