[PHP] How can I... force some HTML tags for all links to jpg files.
I've got a folder with about 100 jpg files and a menu which a link to each one. Works fine but looks crude. Obviously, the image shows as a default on a white background, located in the upper left. I'd like to spiffy up the appearance with a background color and centering the image. [e.g. with a simple html file or whatever] I would prefer to not to redo the menu file or the jpgs. Was hoping there would be a way to do this similar to the Apache HeaderName directive for folder listings.

[PHP] Question about $DOCUMENT_ROOT and include
Why does the absolute path work and not document_root?
include ("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/root_functionsT.php");
//error message says function undefined
include ("/www/r/myID/htdocs/root_functions.php");
// Works just fine
echo "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/root_functionsT.php";
// shows /www/r/myID/htdocs/root_functionsT.php

Actually, I'm trying to get away from using the full absolute path for
includes but have not been able to get the htaccess declaration to work.

variation I can find and think of]

Re: [PHP] Question about $DOCUMENT_ROOT and include
Thanks for the feedback
That works if I leave off the quotes from around DOCUMENT_ROOT. Simply
$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]
I'd really like to get this working in the htaccess file.
php_value include_dir ".:/www/r/myID/htdocs/"
I redoing a site with several php files in assorted directories and
would like be certain things will work if we move the site to a new host.
Several references I've found suggest staying away from using
$DOCUMENT_ROOT since it can be different on virtual hosts.

Try $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] and see if that works.

[PHP] Help with procmail script...
The past problem was solved via this group with in minutes and I just
want to say thanks on that.
The latest problem is a script that takes incoming emails to a certain
address and puts them in the database. I included the script below
called 'Gateway.php'.
This worked great on my local machine with the settings in the
/etc/aliase also included below.
But now that the host has me using the procamil.rc (also included)
I get the subject line in the body.
The only good thing so far from all of this is that I think I an use
procmail to my advantage to strip the To: From: Subject: and Body: of
the email and leave the rest(attachments etc) for /dev/null.
This would help alot since Outlook Exp. has some extra header info in
the email.
So below are the scripts, any help would be appreciated.
Again all of this works perfect on my machine but they are not allowing
me the use of the aliase file for sendmail. Though using procmail to
strip the above info my be better in the long run?
Thanks,

The .htaccess approach appears to fit my situation best; but, I've not
been able to get it to work.
I have a folder with a php script and that folder has several
sub-folders each with a small configuration script. I'd like the entry
point to be a subfolder and main script [in the parent folder] to be
"symbolically" executed.
I'm familiar with the DirectorIndex and use it often, but only for
defining the default file for the particular folder.
Could I be doing something wrong? Or is there another htaccess directive
that may work?

[PHP] Question about set_time_limit and max_execution_time
I've got a mail function script that occasionally terminates midway while sending out about 600 emails. The symptoms point to the "max_execution_time", which is set for 30 seconds. The question is how to best handle it. set_time_limit only seems to apply to the script that contains it. Yet there are several scripts involved in the application. Must every one of them contain the set_time_limit also? Or, would the "max_execution_time" function be a better way to handle it? Can the php cgi versions honor the "max_execution_time"? I can't think of a way to determine if it sets the config file. Thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Newbie needs some help picking a php editor.
I spent a good bit of time looking at editors to help me prepare and modify php scripts. I've found it very time consuming to evaluate them. In general, I've found you have to download, install and play with them some just to determine if they fit your needs. And I know from experience, often programs only show their deficiencies after you've used them a bit. And, I've found many that claim "php" editing; but they really aren't anything but a simple plain text editor. My needs are modest. I'm well versed with HTML, css, etc. And have done a bit of customizing scripts. For now, I mostly need an editor that will: Help me keep the syntax correct. Provide a list of functions, etc. to pick from. Upload my script files via ftp. Have the usual search/replace across files Would be nice if it: Had a project feature Could run a script I'm working on locally with its includes, etc. on my remote host.

[PHP] Re: Table format needs php correction
There are too many problems with your code for anyone to spend the time
going thru them all.
I'd suggest, first constructing a regular html table that looks like you
want it to. Hint, IE6 requires something in TDs [e.g., ] for
borders to show.
When the table looks the way you want it to, validate the code at
http://validator.w3.org/
Then work on your php code to generate the exact same html.

[PHP] Idea for new operator
Afternoon all, Is it just me, or would everybody else like to see a case-insensitive string comparison operator introduced into PHP? It is a type of comparison that I use a lot, and having to strtolower() everything before comparison can impact code readability, not to mention the angst, pain and trauma of having to repeatedly type 'strtolower()'. Assuming this new operator is something like '=*', the following two lines of code would be functionally identical. if (strtolower($a) == strtolower($b)) echo "The same!"; if ($a =* $b) echo "The same!"; Of course creating a new operator is only justified if the vast majority of PHP users do these comparisons as much as I do, and are as averse to work as I am ... :).

The way you are accessing the array is incorrect. The $items array is a
property of the Cart object. Since the Cart object may have many different
array properties, the foreach statement above has to be sepcific about which
array you want to iterate through.
So the correct code would be:
foreach ($cart->items as $product_id => $quantity)
{
echo $product_id . "" . $quantity;
}

My last post didn't actually address the error you mentioned though, so I
might as well do that now... :)
>From your example, the warning you received is cause by the add_item( )
method because it's attempting to add 1 to the value of $cart->items['10'].
The only problem is that $cart->items['10'] hasn't been defined yet.
Now PHP is smart enough to realise that if $cart->items['10'] doesn't exist,
it should simply create the key and assign it a blank value (i.e. 0) and
*then* add 1. So any subsequent calls to $cart->add_item("10", 1) won't
generate an warning.
It's also important to note that you only received a warning, not an error,
and that code finished executing properly. You only received the warning
because you had rerror reporting set to strict, which is normally a very
good idea to help keep your code clean and bug free. The reason the code
didn't work as expected was because of the bug addressed in my last post.
To code the add_item( ) method in a way that won't trigger this warning, you
can change it to:
function add_item ($product_id, $quantity = 1)
{
if (!isset($this->items[$product_id]))
{
$this->items[$product_id] = 0;
}
$this->items[$product_id] += $quantity;
}
You can see that the code checks to see if the the key exists, and if it
doesn't sets it to 0, before attempting to add to it's value. This is
essentially replicating what PHP was doing anyway.

Al

One change will make your code work: just pass the $var argument by

Hi Mike, There is no surefire way to measure the exact time a user leaves your site. The most accurate way I can think of would be to use a hidden frame on all your pages that refreshes itself every X seconds. When a user has not requested that special tracking page for more than X seconds, you can assume they have 'left' the site. However this solution seems like overkill for most purposes: you'll be wasitng server resources and slowing down your users' experience on your site. In response to your proposed method, most advertising associations (including the US-based Internet Advertising Bureau) and web analytics companies (such as Red Sherrif, Nielsens and Hitwise) define the end of a user session on a website when there is 30 minutes without a further request for a page from the site. And while you may be tempted to track only IP numbers, remember that many users are behind shared IP numbers (e.g. firewalls) which may skew your stats. You would be better off using cookies on user's machines to identify them and log their accesses to a DB.

Then open the file with a text editor find the placeholder words, and use PHP to substitute your data for the placeholder words. Yet another work around is to create your documents in HTML but then name them "filname.doc" When your users open the document, Word will launch and auto-convert the file, giving your users the option to save it as a normal Word document.

In essence what you're trying to do is spider / trawl web pages that do not have consistent HTML formatting with inflexible functions like substr( ) and str_replace( ) that are incapable of adapting to inconsistent search text. You'd be much better off extracting the relevant data from HTML using functions such as preg_match( ) and preg_replace( ) which let you search over text using Perl-style regular expressions (aka regexes). Function documentation can be found at: http://au3.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php and http://au3.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php If you have no idea what a regex is, think of it as powerful, wildcard-based searching. It allows you to write search expressions that are very tolerant of changing search text and can still extract the data you need. Regexes can be confusing when you start out.

Your sorting function uses strtotime, which doesn't recognise data in the
MM-DD- fomat.
Generally speaking, dates are best stored in the ISO standard format
-MM-DD so that they can be sorted easily with functions like strcmp.
This format is also recognised by strtotime( ). Look in the code below to
learn how to convert your date format to the ISO standard.
If you can't change the date format, you can also modify your sorting
function as following:
// Note this is untested pseudo-code:
function date_file_sort($a, $b)
{
list ($aMonth, $aDay, $aYear) = explode('-', $a);
$aIsoDate = sprintf("%04d-%02d-%02d", $aYear, $aMonth, $aDay);
list ($bMonth, $bDay, $bYear) = explode('-', $b);
$bIsoDate = sprintf("%04d-%02d-%02d", $bYear, $bMonth, $bDay);
return strcmp($aIsoDate, $bIsoDate);
}

I can see two problems with your code:
1) The syntax for assigning to $level is wrong.
Rather than:
$level = '$level_' . $_SESSION['user']['level'];
your code should read:
$level = ${'level_' . $_SESSION['user']['level']};
For more information on this syntax, see:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php
2) You are assigning $level_1 or $level_2 (depending on the value of
$_SESSION['user']['level']) to $level *before* you have assigned $level_1 or
$level_2 any values. There's no point making $level = $level_1 if $level_1
hasn't been defined yet.
Working code would be:

Ordinarily, the code $ojpp[0][1] = "1" will create an array at $ojpp[0] and set it's second element to be "1". On the first line of your code, however you have *already* assigned the string value "1" to $ojpp[0]. So when PHP sees the code $ojpp[0][1] = "1" it thinks you're trying to use the 'curly braces' syntax for accessing single characters of a string. This syntax is not widely known, but essentially means you can access characters in a string like elements of an array, by using curly braces. For example, will print the third character in $string. For reasons unknown to me, PHP will also let you use square brackets on a string to perform the same action ... eg although this alternate syntax is being phased out. ( For more info see: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php ). So essentially PHP intereperets $ojpp[0][1] = "1" as being an attempt to assign "1" as the second character to the string already assigned to $ojpp[0]. Which begs the question: why assign "1" to $ojpp in the first line of your code when you seem to want to reaplce it with an array on lines 5 - 8? This kind of coding bug is a by-product of a type-juggling, permissive languge that doesn't require you to pre-declare variables. To fix your code, change the first line of your code to read: $ojpp[0] = array(); Hope that helps, Al -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

On a quick glance, three things stand out:
1) You allow underscores in the website domain, but these are not valid
characters for domain names.
2) You allow dashes in the first pattern, but do not escape the dash
character.
3) You have not provided a quantifier to the top-level domain pattern:
[a-zA-Z], so it is only looking for one character fits the class [a-zA-Z].

Re: [PHP] Another Session Question
Your'e right, that's a typo.
If I put a
echo $_SESSION['counter_file'] .
' testx ' . $counterFile;
Before and after the conditional, $_SESSION['counter_file'] is set after the conditional, as it should be. But, it is gone from the before echo when the function is recalled.
The Session buffer looses the value.
session_start() is called again before returning to the function; but, I thought repeated session_starts() were ignored and thus should not restart the session.
I use the session buffer extensively in other places without any problem.

[PHP] Session logic question
I use the $_SESSION buffer extensively on my site without a problem,
except one.
Maybe someone can help me understand the problem.
I have a simple page counter with a test to see if the page has been
counted for the user.
start_session();
*
* [additional code]
*
if($_SESSION['ctr_file']!==$counterFile) //See if
visitor has already been counted for this page
{$num = $num+1;
$_SESSION['ctr_file'] = $counterFile;//set/reset
counter file for next time
Pages that use the counter function all have a start_session(); and a
call to the counter function,
Everything works fine, except when I include another script file that
also uses the $_SESSION buffer.
What appears to be happening is that start_session() on the second
script reinitializes the session buffer and I lose the data from the
first session.
Yet, as I read php manual, it seems to say that start_session is suppose
to simply restore the variables for the page it is on; not start a new
session.

[PHP] Re: Comparison PHP to Perl
"Warren Vail" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > I am looking for a comparison of features supported by PHP vs those > supported by Perl. > [snip] Ah, this old chestnut. As someone who wrote a major application in Perl, and now (mostly) uses PHP, I can only reiterate what's been said a thousand times before: the language you choose depends on what features you want and the type of script you'll be writing. You've only identified session support as a requirement, and although PHP has native session support, Perl has similar functionality available via the Apache::Session CPAN module. Actually, this is true for almost all extra native functionality in PHP that Perl does not support -- it's there in Perl, but you need to download a CPAN module for it. Another example of this is PHP's native mail( ) support. (For the uninitiated, CPAN [http://www.cpan.org] is a fantastic collection of standardised Perl extensions with an easy install script that has evolved over many years). Unfortunately the same does not apply for PHP: although it has an impressive array of built-in functions (especially compared to Perl's paltry offering), if a particular feature is not handled natively then you'll probably have to write your own code to implement it. Although there *is* a CPAN equivalent in PHP called PEAR [http://pear.php.net] that boasts a decent number of modules (most of which are still in early development stages), PHP simply hasn't been around long enough attract as much module development as Perl. So in summary: list all the features you need and if PHP supports them all (or if a few are missing and PHP's ease-of-use and other benefits outweigh the cons) then go with PHP, otherwise take another look at Perl. For a list of PHP's features, take a look at the documentation ... it's very user-friendly.

Re: [PHP] Need help with using htaccess to override php.ini error settings
Everything is working, thanks to you and Jason. The key was that I had to provide a seed file since error_log only appends messages to an existing file and doesn't create one if it does not exist.

Comment the entire script out starting below your call to error_reporting(), then start uncommenting and testing it from the top down until you find the issue. It's doubtful error_reporting() is causing the issue, it more likely it's uncovering an issue. You might try E_ALL, as it may help you discover the issue faster. Posting the script and getting some more eyes on it also an option. What's puzzling is that I can simply comment out the error_reporting line and the code runs fine. Also, the Apache error log doesn't show any errors. with or without the error_reporting. Is error_reporting() all that is necessary, or must I also have a error_log() statement? The manual is not clear on this point. Also, must I have a an existing error file for the errors to append to?

[PHP] session_save_path
My virtual host eliminated the common session tmp folder which forces me to set up one in my area. I'm trying to come up with the best, considering: Custom php.ini; resisting because having to make certain it is always in sync with host's changes. Tried adding to htaccess: php_value session.save_path /www/u/username/htdoc/session Hoping it would override php.ini. Got a server error 500. Tried adding to a common functions file used by several pages: session_save_path /www/u/user/htdoc/session; and session_save_path $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/SESSION"; Doesn't work, uses the path in php.ini; I'm guessing that session_save_path has to be declared on page using session stuff. That's a pain, if so.

[PHP] Re: Memcached is driving me nuts
Try debug_backtrace()
Rico Secada wrote:
Hi.
This post has also been posted on the Debian list.
I have two different Debian Etch machines running with the exact same
packages installed, when I use PHP memcached with compression (zlib) it
works at one machine but not the other. No errors are thrown.
I need to know why it is only working on one machine and not the other.
I am talking about the MEMCACHE_COMPRESSED flag if anyone knows about
this.
I am using this small script to test with:
connect('localhost', 11211);
$version = $memcached->getVersion();
print ("Memcached version: ".$version."");
// $memcached->flush();
$output = $memcached->get('var_key');
if (empty($output)) {
$memcached->set('var_key', 'Hello I am Memcached',
MEMCACHE_COMPRESSED, 3600);
print ("Memcached has just been set!");
} else {
print ("Memcached is already set with this value:
$output");
}
?>
If I disable the compression flag (using the 'false' value or zero
value) on the failing machine, all works correctly, but when I enable
it like in the above script it fails without error.
I have also tried running memcached with "-vv" options, and checked the
log, but no errors show up.
I am suspecting that zlib isn't working right on the failing machine,
but using phpinfo() it shows that zlib is enabled.
On both machines the following packages are installed:
ii libcompress-zlib-perl 1.42-2
ii libio-zlib-perl 1.04-1
ii zlib1g 1.2.3-13
ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.2.0-8+etch13
ii php5 5.2.0-8+etch13
ii php5-common 5.2.0-8+etch13
ii php5-gd 5.2.0-8+etch13
ii php5-imagick0.9.11+1-4.1
ii php5-memcache2.0.1-1.1
ii php5-mysql 5.2.0-8
+etch13
ii php5-pgsql 5.2.0-8+etch13
Any help in understanding what is going on would be greatly
appreciated.
Best regards.
Rico
