Well as long as you don not provide any code it's all just wild guesses. What I tried was to show you a way of simply preventing the HTML from being sent to the browser before you include the session and/or cookie file. So you would just have to add the output buffering syntax to your existing code without changing all the scripts. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You aren't doing it the DOM way, and telling FF3 to use HTML 4.01 (or
XHTML) means you should be doing it the DOM way. IE, Opera and Chrome
are being lax; FF isn't.
No
Yes
Startdate
Better would be to throw the actions into a function, e.g.
function setStartDateDisabled(asDisabled) {
var autostartlabel = document.getElementById('autostartlabel');
if (autostartlabel)
autostartlabel.className = asDisabled ? 'disable' : 'normal';
var startdate = document.getElementById('startdate');
if (startdate)
startdate.disabled = asDisabled;
}
No
Yes
PS: pick HTML4 or XHTML; your sample code shows the latter, the DOCTYPE
says the former.

The pragmatic approach says that you've already fixed it: just leave
the DOCTYPE out. :-)
I'm not sure what yours should be, but based on the snippet of HTML
you posted, yours should not be HTML 4.01. Since you are closing the
tags, you should probably be using one of the XHTML DOCTYPEs
(as long as the rest of your markup is consistent). I'm not sure that
would "fix" your issue, though.
As for why your page does that, I'm not really sure. If you leave the
DOCTYPE off the the browser will select the DOCTYPE it wants to use.
Perhaps since you declared the document to be HTML 4.01 Transitional,
Firefox is applying JavaScript rules where you can't refer to an
element in script simply using its ID attribute. You usually have to
use something like:
document.getElementById('autostartlabel').className = 'disable';

Hi Andrew and Ross, thanks a lot - using getElementById sorted it out. As
for the DOCTYPE the scripts aren't consistent enough yet to use one of the
XHTML DOCTYPEs, but it's work in progress. Maybe starting that process
caused the problem because I remember testing this successfully in FF, the
reason I persevered so long was I knew it once worked.
As a matter of interest is there a way to see what DOCTYPE the browser chose
to use? The browser is obviously smarter than I am in selecting DOCTYPEs so
maybe I should follow its cue.
Thanks to everyone else who kindly responded as well, I really appreciate
it.

Someone suggested pathinfo() already... and brought up the issues of
extensions < 3 chars and files with no "basename" (i.e., ".htaccess")...
Checked out www.php.net/pathinfo, and ran a demo on my own machine. I
can't test the .htaccess problem, since I'm running Windows (and M$
won't let you have files that start with "."), but I tested it with
"a.b.c.d" and the extension was returned as "d". Basename was "a.b.c".
Sounds like it will do exactly what you are trying to accomplish. For
what it's worth, if I were to do it with a regular expression, I would
use:
$filename = "us.123.kyle.20081029.zip";
preg_match('/(.*)\..*$/', $filename, $match);
Check out www.regular-expressions.info ... the only excuse you can have
for not knowing is that you haven't tried to learn yet. ;)

Before you do that, learn to read and follow along in an email thread that you start. We gave you perfect pointers as to (a) why regexp's aren't needed in this case; and (b) how to better handle it.

[PHP] Count the Number of Elements Using Explode
Hi,
I have a code snippet here as follows:
$message="1|2|3|4|5";
$stringChunks = explode("|", $message);
Is it possible to find out the number of elements in this string? It seems
that I could do things like print_r and find out what is the last element of
$stringChunks is, but is there a way where I can use code from the two lines
and have it print out 5 as the number of elements that contains after the
splitting?
Or, am I on the wrong direction here?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for all who responded, and the function is now working properly.
It turned out that count function works for strings that contain the actual
data inside, but when it is an empty string, a new if clause had to be set to
create the count.

First of all, don't top post, please.
Secondly, that won't do what the OP asked for. array_count_values
returns an array which tells you how often each VALUE was found in that
array. so: array_count_values(array(1,2,3,4,5)) will return:
array(1=>1,2=>1,3=>1,4=>1,5=>1). While what the OP wanted was:
some_function(array(1,2,3,4,5)) to return 5 (as in the amount of values,
not how often each value was found in the array).
count() would do it directly, and the other suggestions people gave do
it indirectly, assuming that the values between '|' are never > 1 char wide.

I think you'll find Kyle was suggesting that the OP use that function
to count the |'s in the string. Add 1 to that and you have the number
of elements explode will produce. More efficient if you're simply
exploding it to count the elements, but count would be better if you
need to explode them too.

Re: [PHP] Recursive Directory Listing
Thanks, all, for pointing me to the SPL iterators. i've been hunting
around and i've managed to come up with a working script. I know it
could be better, though. I know this is terribly inefficient -- a lot
of manual repetition and no recursion. Here's what I've got,
commenting my concerns:
';
foreach ( $dirs as $dir )
{
// only get dirs, exclude . and ..
// seems like this should be a function...
if (($dir->isDir()) AND ($dir != '.') AND ($dir != '..'))
{
// begin each qualifying dir with an li
echo '' . $dir;
// don't close the li, check again, one level deeper
// here's where i'm missing recursion, i think...
$subDirs = new DirectoryIterator('./' . $dir .'/');
if ($subDirs->valid())
{
// second verse, same as the first...
echo '';
foreach ($subDirs as $subDir)
{
if (($subDir->isDir()) AND ($subDir !=
'.') AND ($subDir !='..'))
{
// i could manually add another
level check, i guess...?
echo ''. $subDir . '';
}
}
// close second list
echo '';
}
//close first-level item
echo '';
}
}
//close master ul
echo '';
?>
this will work for me, but it's bloated, i know. and it's rendering
unnecessary in the code wherever there isn't a subdirectory (i
can't get a hasChildren() check to work properly. I'd appreciate any
feedback.
I've been referring to the SPL documentation in the manual off
php.net, and the examples at phpro.org. if there are any others out
there, i'd be happy to keep digging!

[PHP] Change tracking
I'm about to try this, but I'd like some suggestions. I have a inventory table that an employee can update specific fields if they are incorrect, e.g. [INVENTORY_TABLE] fieldsexample data part 1027P serial543221-K qty 120 location G-5 I'd like to record what changed. Let's say they change the serial. One way would be a "static" changes table: [INVENTORY_CHANGES] fields example data old_part 1027P new_part 1027P old_serial 543221-K new_serial 543221-4 ... I'm thinking a better/more flexible solution would be [INVENTORY_CHANGES] inventory_id (FK to inventory table) field (in this case it would be serial, detected by comparing POST values to original values, but could be serial and qty/location) original 543221-K new_value 543221-4 Just curious as to other possible solutions or problems with these (probably the second one).

Re: [PHP] Change tracking
I've always used a version field (just an incrementing id) rather than an effective date field. I can see the benefits of being able to look back and see when the changes were made and if done correctly make it so things don't change until a certain date. Hmmm nifty.
