The ";" at the start of the configuration line in php.ini is a comment

Remove that, restart the web server, and you might see things working better.

No -- because, as you stated, $Count1 was not referred to anywhere else,
so there was and would have been no usefulness in assigning any value to
it.  You could equally well have said $Count1 = 2.71828 + 3.14159 *
$Count++; and got the same result -- because this still increments
$Count by 1, and anything else the statement does is irrelevant if
$Count1 is never referred to anywhere else!!! ;) ;)

What you did worked because $Count++ *always* adds one to the value of
$Count, no matter where it appears -- the crucial part of your original
statement was the $Count++ bit, with the assignment to $Count1 being a
massive red herring.

For ultimate clarification, the following 4 statements all have
identical effect:

   $Count = $Count + 1;
   $Count += 1;
   $Count++;
   ++$Count;

and any one of them would have had the same effect on your result. This
is why I say it was an off-by-one error -- your programming logic
somehow *needed* $Count to be 1 greater than you thought it did, so the
inadvertent incrementation of it was doing the trick for you.

Hope this helps increase the illumination in your head a tiny bit more.

Cheers!

For the windows shared folder:

For Novell: 
the windows account under appache server is running
 Most exist in the Novell Server and most have the correct permissions to the

[PHP] Developing PHP extensions on Windows with VC++, linking problems

[Eugenio Tacchini]

Hi all,
I had to create a PHP extension and I read this article:
http://www.talkphp.com/vbarticles.ph...php-extensions
Everything worked fine if I keep "Debug" as "Active solution 
configuration" in "Build->Configuration manager"but in this way I 
can only use the extension created on the machine I compiled it.

If I choose "Release" instead of "Debug" I get a fatal error:
dllmain.obj : fatal error LNK1179: invalid or corrupt file: duplicate 
COMDAT '_putwchar'

Can you help me?

I'm using Visual C++ 2008 Express edition, PHP 5.2.4, Win xp home.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Whatever it is on line 2 of assessresult.inc.php that is causing output
to be started!

More seriously, there is something on line 2 of that file that is
causing something to be sent to the browser, which in turn causes the
http headers to be sent. Once those headers have been sent, nothing else
that wants to send headers, which includes starting the session and
setting cookies, can be done.

Either eliminate whatever it is on line 2 that is sending output, or
move the session_start() and/or setcookie() calls above it. (This early
in the file, prime candidate is actually a stray blank line outside your

[PHP] E-Mail Verification - Yes, I know....

[Jay Blanchard]

Our company wants to do e-mail verification and does not want to use the
requests / response method (clicking a link in the e-mail to verify the
address), which as we all know is the only way you can be truly sure. I
found this;

http://verify-email.org/

Which seems to be the next best deal and it is written in PHP. Has
anyone used this? Is anyone doing something similar? How do you handle
errors? I know that some domains will not accept these requests.

I think that this method would really work for us and cut down on the
bogus e-mail addresses we're receiving though. Thoughts?

Paul:

Thanks.  :-)

But that's one of the points here and that is to have something you 
can show a client that you've done. Keep in mind, that it's better to 
have them in your office so you can control what they see and guide 
them through your examples. But if nothing else, you can show them 
something you've done without showing a client's site.


I don't like showing client sites because: a) the site is not usually 
100% yours; b) some of the sites I've worked on I don't want to be 
associated with (horrible front ends); c) and sometimes prospective 
clients want to contact your past employers and you may not want that.


For example, your past client may not want to be contacted -- after 
all, it's their time -- what are you doing wasting their time? Also, 
who knows what they are going to say? Even good clients who like your 
service may look at someone inquiring as to your service and think 
"Hey, what happens when I need something and my programmer is working 
for them?" Belive me it happens.


So, my recommendation is keep your experience and examples under your control.

Cheers,

tedd

[PHP] php forms - select menu selected behavior

[Troy Oltmanns]

I have the code below being used to rifle through a list of available
categories and create select options for them. The code is being used to
query the database and compare the product category to the current
iteration, if there's a match, then add selected code so the category is
prechosen. More code (not included) does the saving and all that, I've check
phpmyadmin. But when the page submits, the old category appears in the drop
down as selected. If I leave the page and come back it's fine, it's just
right after it is saved. The form script is being used on itself, in that
there is only one file for the form, the submission, etc. All of the other
input elements will load the data after being saved, is it something
specific to dropdowns, or it is the way the code is being instatiated?

All help is much appreciated. Please let me know if anymore info is needed.

//MAKE CATEGORIES DROPDOWN
$sql="SELECT * FROM categories ORDER BY category";

$catmatch="SELECT * FROM product WHERE dbi='$dbi'";
$catresult=mysql_query($catmatch);

Been there, tried that, got blacklisted pretty quickly by most major
ISPs and email providers.

In short do this only if you have a very limited number of accounts,
and only if you can afford to have your IP blacklisted should you hit
individual mail server limits.

Or, to put it another way, don't do it.

There are reasons why the VRFY SMTP command is not implemented by most
servers. Firstly it reveals too much information. Secondly it wastes
server resources. Same goes for this method of checking an address.

Question is why don't you want to ask the user to confirm their email
address? It's a pretty standard requirement these days that most users
are familiar with. I can't think of a single reason why any company
would want to avoid it.

It apparently requires the www. CNAME to access it via the web.

If it has a good CAPTCHA mechanism in place, maybe.  Otherwise,
it's not too difficult to write a parser to read bounces and
auto-click the link (and even attempt to pass or bypass a challenge).

Top-posting on top of it all.  Disregard *everything* from my
previous email.  I typed it up before checking out the site, since it
wouldn't work from this system when hit without the alias.  Then, when
I did hit it and read it, I meant to click "Discard" and clicked
"Send."

There's just one way: let the users confirm with an activation link.
People often insert their addresses wrong without noticing it..
example: www.myal...@mydomain.org instead of myal...@mydomain.org,
aol. instead of aol.com and so on.

So ... nothing like "insert your mail twice" or "re-check your address
please" actually works. ;)

On the other hand: Douple-opt-In is quite like an industry standard -
why wouldn't your firm use it? It makes customers happy as well as
"not-customers" because people can't use their addressess to sign-up.
I hate getting other peoples email.

[PHP] Non-Object errors

[Miller, Terion]

Can someone help with how to make this work, trying to get the number of
rows but am getting the "trying to get property of non-object"

Code-

$query = "select blah, blah, blah from table where ".$type." like
'%".$name."%'"; 
  
$result = mysql_query($query); 

$num_results = $result->num_rows; <---this is the line with
error

verify-email.org doesn't use VRFY anyway.  It just starts an
SMTP-conversation, but terminates after RCPT TO.

Just tested this with two of my mailservers and it is not reliable. One
server does say that a mailbox/alias exists while the other doesn't do this
to protect against address harvesting.

However, you could use it in combination with other methods like sending a
confirmation code with a link, a better captcha check like balancing
rotated photos or recognizing objects, MX and SPF records check (if
available) and match against public black/graylists. Define a score for
each method, when the total score gets above a certain threshold you flag
it as invalid.

I Like the approach of checking the DNS.

But all that regexp matching could be skipped when using
filter_input() or filter_var() with the Filter FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL -
or am I wrong?

I'm using the filter in combination with a domain checker which
basically checks for a valid TLD on a high traffic website with great
success - so far.

Hi Terion,

you're mixing normal mysql_* with mysqli. Mysqli is object oriented
and the mormalö mysql_ functions aren't - thei're procedural.

So you can do it either like

$result = mysql_query("SELECT 1");
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);

Or in OOP

$res = $mysqlObj->query("SELECT 1"); // $mysqlObj should be
initialized first ;) hint: new mysqli()
$num = $res->num_rows();

two problems:
Changed my code to try and use an array because that has worked before when I 
have run into the object error, but I still get this error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result 
resource

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result 
resource

Here is my code now:
   $query = "select name, age, warrant, bond, wnumber, crime FROM warrants 
where ".$warranttype." = ".$warranttype." OR ".$searchname." = ".$searchname." 
";$result = mysql_query($query);$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows ($result);
Should this post of gone on the Db list maybe?

One thing I noticed about your code above has to do with your WHERE clause.
Say,
$warranttype = 'warrant'
$searchname = 'Terion'

Your $query will become:
SELECT name, age, warrant, bond, wnumber, crime
FROM warrants
WHERE warrant = warrant OR Terion = Terion

The first time you use $warranttype and $searchname should be the column
names rather than the value you would like that column to be equal to.

I never said they did. I compared use of that method to the VRFY
command in an effort to explain why mail servers detect and block IPs
that make repeated connections but don't actually send anything.

To fully quote the paragraph you cut off...

"There are reasons why the VRFY SMTP command is not implemented by
most servers. Firstly it reveals too much information. Secondly it
wastes server resources. Same goes for this method of checking an
address."

Pay special attention to the last sentence.

I would have thought it was obvious, the file assessresult.inc.php is
being called before your session_start(). Have you put your code before
every include?

actually, i have no idea because i have no idea what problem you are trying
to solve and i apologize for presumptuous. i presumed that you have a php

characters in the db beyond latin-1.
  

I think you hit the nail on the head, except I dont need any of those
weird foreign pictograms and scribbles ;-)
I'm only using English ( the most difficult, of course), French(a bit
twisted), Italian(a bit slanted, German(lots of options), Swedish(cold,
cold), Portugese(oh, boy) and maybe some other Western European variety.
"We do try to be civilized, don't we?"
So, in the end, utf-8 may not be so important for me after all. All
seems to be working just fine.
I think I'll upload the stuff to the real site and we can all have a
bash at it. 8-)



Use utf8

I don't know about your bsd keyboard map issues, but everything should 
be done in utf8 these days, there's no point in using latin1 anymore.


It's not about the ability to use the Hebrew or Character set, it's 
about using a standard encoding that works everywhere and is the future 
of PHP anyway.

Actually, that describes me. I'm using UTF-8 on XHTML 1 pages with
the .php extension, so that I can do wizard-like things when it is 
necessary. But I recently encountered an issue with a lengthy passage

Turkish text where it was necessary to display accent marks on consonant
characters. Particularly, on upper and lower case "G" characters.

Granted, this isn't a PHP question but I'm curious, how does UTF-8 solve
this display issue? Because I've Googled until I'm blue in the face
but I didn't find a resolution that was ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 compatible.

Bringing it back around, thank you Tedd for the suggestion of going
through the .docs and writing examples of each function. Brilliant!

Reese

if we're talking about web browsers, they are quite good at automatically
choosing fonts that can display the unicode characters it finds in a page.

Re: [PHP] $_session/$_cookie trouble

Igor

Thanks for the link.  It was suggested that I must put the session_start() 
before all code on the parent page.  I am no longer getting the error 
messages,so I am assuming I am making progress, however I have yet to be 
able to get the $_SESSION or $_COOKIE to produce results...such as the 
ability to echo them.

Thanks for your help.

Re: [PHP] $_session/$_cookie trouble

[Gary]

Ashley

There are 3 include files, the first is all html, but it has a form, so I 
put the session_start above the DTD and I no longer get the error messages.

I had the session_start at the beginning of the second file, the php 
processing file, but that produced the error.  It seemed to be calling to 
itself (if that does not sound too naive).

As I mentioned in a post above, I am no longer getting the error message, 
but have been unable to get either the $_SESSION or the cookie to produce 
results...

Thanks for your help.

There it is then. The HTML file causes the headers to be sent. Any
output to the browser at all causes the headers to be sent, so any HTML
or even spaces and newlines will trigger this error.

[PHP] Project Euler [Oh, this isn't spam mail...]

[Andrew Hucks]

This isn't a question. :-D.

Anyways, there's a website that I came across which has kept me up
past bedtime the past few nights.

"Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer
programming problems that will require more than just mathematical
insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at
elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming
skills will be required to solve most problems."

http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=problems

Take a look. A fun thing to do when you're bored.

Re: [PHP] $_session/$_cookie trouble

[Gary]

Thanks again, dont see any DOM

As I mentioned I am no longer getting error message, but not sure it is 
working.

I have this at the begining of the first file.





I have tried this

echo $sale_value;
echo $_SESSION['assess_value'];
echo $_COOKIE['sale_cookie'];

I have also removed all of the if() and still not had success

None of which are producing results...

Anyone see where I am going wrong... I have spent all day online, in the 
books, in the manual...

Thanks again

gary

Re: [PHP] $_session/$_cookie trouble

[Andrew Hucks]

Take the values out of single quotes, else it sets them as strings,
and not as the variable value. Also, are you meaning to set the
cookie's expiration to time()-3600? Try time()+3600.

A question I have about unit testing. The point is to test individual 
"units"... correct? So, let's say I have this core class which creates 
instances of other classes. Well, if I only want test the core class, I 
don't want to instantiate the other classes... correct? Example:


class1 = new Class1 ($this);
$this->class2 = new Class2 ($this);
}
}

// CoreTest.php
require ('../PHPUnit/Framework.php');
require ('../includes/Core.php');

class CoreTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
protected function setUp () {
$this->core = new Core();
}
}
?>

So, here, Class1 and Class2 will be instantiated. However, I don't 
really care for them to be so that I can test all the methods in the 
core class. Is this a perfect example of how the original design of the 
core class is not conducive to implementing unit tests? Without 
rewriting the core class, is there a way to test this?


Thanks,
~Philip


well Class1 and Class2 should have there own unit tests, so by the time 
you get to Core you know the others are good so it doesn't matter if 
they are called or not.

Looks to me like you are trying to set and retrieve a cookie on the same
page. It doesn't work that way. Set it, access it on the next page... 
or, set it, and then redirect to the same page.. being sure to send a 
flag to hide the setcookie function to avoid the dreaded infinite loop.


Also, Setting a cookie's expire param to history will delete it... so
I don't think that is what you want to do.

[PHP] Re: $_session/$_cookie trouble

[Gary]

Many thanks to all for persevering my ignorance!

I had read that setting a cookie into the  past would destroy the cookie 
once the browser session was over, so that is why I had set it that way.

I did two things to solve the problem, and I frankly dont know which one (or 
both) it was.

First I reset the expiration into the future

Next I changed
setcookie('sale_cookie','$sale_value' time()-3600);to
setcookie('sale_cookie',$_POST['sale'] time()+3600);

So I was pulling the information from the post instead of the variable.

$sale_value=$_POST['sale'];

So again, thanks for all your help.

Gary

Re: [PHP] Re: $_session/$_cookie trouble

[Andrew Hucks]

$sale_value would have worked if it hadn't been in single quotes, I
believe. (Assuming it was populated.). When you put it in quotes, you
were making the cookie's value a string instead of a variable. So, the
value would actually have literally been $sale_value, rather than the
value for that variable. It is working with $_POST['sale'] because
there are no single quotes. :-p.

Which it wasn't.. ;-) according to Gary's last post. He assigned it now
with 'sale'.. however, I think it should rather be in double quotes 
("sale") if he wants to get the posted value.


echo $sale_value;

now works because sale_value has been assigned a value.

But:
echo $_COOKIE['sale_cookie'];

I would guess will still not work.. until landing on the
next page, or reloading the first page.

Gary, if you want to post your "working" code, we could probably
tell you the "why's"... and it would also cater to my curiosity. ;-)

Maybe I'm missing something, but why are you using session vars and
cookie vars like you are?  If you start a session it creates a cookie to
track the session and the session persists your session vars.  Why not
just use session vars?

Ok, working code.  I'm sure there is some left over code that is not 
actually working, but I have been playing frankenstein all day. Basically a 
vistor fills in 3 (only two set so far) inputs to see if they qualify for a 
rebate.  If they do, they can go on to file two to submit their information.

This is my first project using $_cookie or $_session.  I have done an 
exercise or two in lessons using them, but this is my first attempt from 
scratch.

File1 of 2


 0.00){
echo 'Yes, Your property appears to 
qualify!';
}
if ($savings < 0.00){
echo 'NO, Your property does not appear to qualify. 
';
}
echo 'According to the information you have entered';?>
";
echo "Your current tax assessment is $".number_format($assess_value)."";
echo 'You live in ';
echo 'According to preliminary calculations';
echo "You are currently paying now  $".number_format($present_tax, 2)."";
echo "According to the information you have submitted, your taxes should be 
$ ".number_format($correct_tax, 2)."";
?>
 0.00){
echo "According to our preliminary calculations, a successful assessment 
appeal could save you annually on your current real estate taxes. $ 
".number_format($savings, 2)." ";
}
if ($savings < 0.00){
echo 'It does not appear that an appeal would be successful in saving you 
money this year. If property values in your area continue to decline, you 
may wish to revisit the issue next year.';
}

$_SESSION['sale_value'] ='$sale_value';
$_SESSION['assess_value'] ='$assess_value';

?>

This is exactly what this Open Source PHP class does since many years
ago, except that this class can handle grey listing responses.

http://www.phpclasses.org/emailvalidation


Basically it returns 3 possible responses: valid, invalid, and
undetermined. Valid, means the SMTP server would accept the message
(although it may reject it later). Invalid means the SMTP server would
reject the message. Undetermined means that for message would not be
accepted now, but could be accepted later, which is usually what servers
that implement greylisting cause.
