[PHP] php.ini setting
I'm trying to set magic quotes Off as my reading tells me that it's not good to have it defaulted to On. My ISP has this setting (from PHPINFO call): magic_quotes_gpc on >From reading the php.net manual I found this line php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on which it says to place in the .htaccess file. I downloaded that file from my server's public_html folder, edited it to put in the above line (which now says "Off") and re-uploaded it. Boom! My server no longer works - I get "Internal Server Error" "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration." If I re-edit my .htaccess, remove the line and re-upload, everything works fine. So - what am I mis-interpreting about how to accomplish this task? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I'm not sure why it would cause an internal server error, but I've seen some Apache configurations completely flake over lines in the .htaccess that were fine elsewhere. The only thing I can find online where this line will cause a server error is where the server is set up to allow custom php.ini files which override the defaults. To test this, try adding a php.ini file into the directory your script is (this is completely untested, I just saw it on a forum (http://www.bluehostforum.com/archive/index.php/t-15975.html )) and enter the regular php.ini line to turn it off. If that fails, I'd try and contact your hosting provider and see what they say, as they probably have more information specific to this problem, as it's most likely a setting of theirs that is causing it. -- Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
[PHP] Variable question
If $correct_answer has a value of 3 what is the correct syntax needed to use echo to display the value of $trivia_answer_3? I know this is incorrect, but along the lines of what I am wanting to do: echo $trivia_answer_$correct_answer; $trivia_answer_1 = “1,000”; $trivia_answer_2 = “1,250”; $trivia_answer_3 = “2,500”; $trivia_answer_4 = “5,000”; Ron www.TheVerseOfTheDay.info

Have you tried:
ini_set('magic_quotes_gpc', false);

Best bet would to toss this into either an object or array for simplification,
otherwise that type of syntax would need the use of eval.
example: eval('echo $trivia_answer_'.$correct_answer.';');
best bet would be to..
$trivia_answer = array();
$trivia_answer[1] = 1000;
$trivia_answer[2] = 1250;
$trivia_answer[3] = 2500;
$trivia_answer[4] = 5000;
echo $trivia_answer[$correct_answer];

You can use variable variables [1] to access the variable by building its name in a string: $name = 'trivia_answer_' . $correct_answer; echo $$name; Peace, David [1] http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php

Agreed the OP's value list isn't optimal, but eval is not needed to
address the solution:

A while back, I did a project in Java where parts of it had to access and
process streams. I guess this would be a really good exercise for me to see
if it's doable in PHP also. In addition to implement 'PHP simulating
threads', in this scenario, where 1 thread would download and monitor the
streams while another thread would analyze/process the data and import into
a database.
Re: [PHP] php.ini setting
Solved. Had to have my host provider put a copy of php.ini in my public_html and then I made the magic quotes setting change. Interesting - running a phpinfo command still shows the setting as On becuase it returns the server's settigns, NOT my individual folder setting. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You could do:
$var = "trivia_answer_.$correct_answer";
echo $$var;
But I agree that an array would be simpler.
best bet would be to..
$trivia_answer = array();
$trivia_answer[1] = 1000;
$trivia_answer[2] = 1250;
$trivia_answer[3] = 2500;
$trivia_answer[4] = 5000;
echo $trivia_answer[$correct_answer];
You can define this a bit more simply:
$trivia_answer = array (
1 => 1000,
2 => 1250,
3 => 2500,
4 => 5000
);
You can do it even more simply by just giving the values, but indexes wil
start at 0:
Array
(
[0] => 1000
[1] => 1250
[2] => 2500
[3] => 5000
)
While manually defining an array like this is only slightly less tedius
than using 4 numbered variables, it's a lot easier to do if you're getting
data from somewhere else (e.g. a database of trivia questions). To use
the original way proposed, you'd have to keep constructing variable names,
which arrays avoid quite nicely.
In my opinion, the only real usefulness for a syntax like $$var (above) is
if you want to do something with a bunch of variables in one go. For
example:
foreach (array ("title", "artist", "album", "label") as $field)
echo ucwords($field) . ': ' . $$field . '';
The above comes from a function which manages only a single record, so no
real need to use an array. I could of course, e.g. record['title'] etc,
but I don't see much could be gained unless I needed to be able to manage
an entire record as a single unit.
