[PHP] Reading Text file by line
I need to read a text file by line, if I open the file and use fgets() then it doesn't pick up the EOL corretly. So I was planning on reading the whole file in with fread() and then breaking it up by EOL characters. My question is, how do I do it? What character do I search for in the string? Anyone have a simple example on how to do this? Thanks. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] OT? Dynamic Page Setup in IE please help
I'm gonna post this in some Microsoft list too, but I'm hopping someone here might be able to help me out. I have a few situations where users will need to print from my app. The browser they are using will be IE. What I'd like to be able to do is through some type of scripting remove the header and footer on the page setup in IE. I can do this manually, and get the result that I want, but I need to be able to do it dynamically, without user intervention, and have the settings change only occur for the page that is being printed. I've tried using other methods, like html2pdf, and it works, but I can't bring over the proper formatting to the PDF file. What I specifically want to remove is the"&w&bPage &p of &P" clause that is in the header and the "&u&b&d" in the footer of file->page setup in IE. this is what causes the page title and page number to print on the top of printed web pages, and the URL to print in the footer. Thanks for any help you could give, or if you could point me to a better place to discuss this I'd appreciate it. Thanks :) - Anthony -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Quick ? ... how come this doesn't work?
I'm trying to get the 1st and last day of the current week. I ty to do
this:
$startofweek = date("Y-m-d",mktime (0,0,0,date("m")
,date("d")-date("w"),date("Y")));
$endofweek = date("Y-m-d",mktime (0,0,0,date("m")
,date("d",strtotime($startofweek))+6,date("Y")));
echo $startofweek." --- ".$endofweek;
$startofweek is correct, but if you run it for a week that has it's
beginning date in an other month (like this week), the $endofweek is in the
wrong month. What gives? If I change -date("w") to -1 or anything else
that stays within the current month, it works. What do you think? Is there
a better way to do this?

[PHP] Re: php my sql question
When you upload the page to the webserver and then access it, do you just see the source? If so then you probably don;t have PHP support as part of your hosting package. Call your web host and find out. Also, if you're really new to PHP, I'll through this out too, you did put arround your script right? Once you're sure PHP is running, then check out the online manual for MySQL functions --> http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php You don't need PHP on your local machine, just on the webserver. It may be a good idea though to install a webserver (like Apache) and PHP on your local machine, that way you can test your scripts without uploading them to the webserver. - Anthony "Jerome A.

[PHP] Re: Calculating Largest Member of Array
why not just change your array structure a little so that the date is the
key, and the elements are the values. so it would look like this.
Array
(
[Jan-99] => Array
(
[0] => 6399.36
[1] => 6132.71
[2] => 2242.20
[3] => 53.27
[4] => 87.34
)
[Feb-99] => Array
(
[0] => 5754.72
[1] => 3964.93
[2] => 6145.98
[3] => 693.32
[4] => 23.80
)
)
That would make it much easier. I think.

[PHP] Re: dynamic form display??
PHP is not what you're looking for here. You'll want to use something like JavaScript. I'm assuming that you want to do this on the browser side so that you'll upload all the files at once. If that is the case, PHP won't know anything about it since it's a server side language. I've seen things like this done in JavaScript before and seen really cool ones that are IE, vbs only.

look up two functions in the online manual. strtotime() and date()
strtotime will give you a unix timestamp for just about any date possable,
date will format it the way you need. to get it into a mySQL date field,
basicaly, you do this:
date("y-m-d", strtotime($_POST['date']))
where $_POST['date'] is whatever variable you used.

You'll get this in IIS if you request a page that should be parsed by the PHP CGI that does not exist. IIS trys to load the script into the CGI but gets no results since there was no page to load. I think it's an IIS bug i.e. you go to www.domain.com/page1.php but there is no page1.php file. So you'd expect to get a 404 error. but IIS gives you the CGI error instead.

[PHP] easy conversion to a date?
I have a form where the user enters a date into a text input field. I need to convert this text to a date and put it in a field in a mySQL database. Is there an easy way to do this?

[PHP] Error reporting at runtime
I have error reporting turned off in my php.ini file on my production server. I have an app I'm writing that I need to run on the same server (no one can see it though). Anyway. I want to turn on error reporting during runtime for this particular app while I'm debugging it. so I put error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE); in the script, but I don;t see any warnings. I also tried error_reporting(2047); or error_reporting(8); still nothing. To sest it, I tried to echo some random variable that doesn't exist in the very next line, but no warning about it. So what gives? What am I doing wrong?

Re: [PHP] sessions
thanks for the starter. I have session.use_trans_sid = 1 in my php.ini,
I also have session_start() at the beginning of both pages. Now
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS is there, but its a blank array.
print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS); yields-> Array ( )
the code I have at one page is
$z=;
session_start();
session_register('$z');
I also tried without the quotes, still a blank array. What am I doing
wrong? How do I make sure I'm starting the correct session in the new
page? I can get the session ID, but what do I do with it?

[PHP] Calendar math .... how to count in week days....?
I've run into a bit of a problem, that I know has been dealt with before, but I don't know how to deal with it. Very simple, I have an application that needs to do calendar math and do it specifically on business days. I need to be able to add and subtract a number of days to only Monday though Friday. Seems simple enough, but I can't figure out how to do it. The only think I've come up with so far is to build a function that counts every day and checks to see if it's a weekend or not. This wouldn't be all that hard to do, but I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it? Anyone have a really efficient function to do this, I need to figure out a LOT of dates in this app. - Anthony -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] limit run time of a function?
I have a function in my application that does a large query on my database. In certain instances the query will take to long to return and will reach the max execution time set in PHP.ini. This is ok though, it's already set to 90 secs and I don't want it any longer than that. What I would like is to have a way that I can time a function. If the function takes to long to return data, kill it and follow some other path in my app to let the user know what's going on. What I'm trying to avoid is the warning from PHP saying that the script reached max execution time. The user gets all confused and then I get help desk calls. There has got to be another way.

[PHP] eregi_replace() function in a script
Hi,
The following appliaction for the following html form and php script was
taken from Larry Ullman's book on PHP on page 130 - 131.
What it does is this:
1. the user is presented with a form with a few textboxes and a textarea
box.
2. the user fills in the boxes with a URL and a descripttion of the URL and
submits it.
3. the PHP takes the string which has three groupings and parses it uses the
eregi_replace() function.
4. The end result is that the URL input from the user becomes a active link.
The script works fine but I have a question with the following line:
$Pattern="(http://)([^[:space:]]+) ([[:alnum:]\.,-?/&=])"; // The variable
$Pattern is declared with three groupings.
My question:
If the user inadvertantly inputs a *space* _after_ the http:// grouping and
_before_ the www. grouping my understanding is that would not be valid from
the $Pattern match due to:
([^[:space:]]+)
..
Correct?
I tried the script by putting a space before the URL and the PHP still
processes the data with no error.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply John. I still don't understand the explanation. For instance, let's say I put _absolutely nothing_ in the URL textbox and then hit submit - the PHP still processes _without_ an error. It says: "Your submission -- -- has been received!" I would've thought the eregi_replace() function would've validated an entry with no characters. If you get a chance would you please try it out. Thanks again for your time.

Sure.
BTW, here's a screenshot of the form and the result at:
www.gonefishingguideservice.com/php.htm
For a test, I put in a few spaces and then "s" and then more spaces and
then "o" and then more spaces and then "s" and then I hit submit and the
script processed without an error.
So, I don't see where the eregi_replace() pattern matching is coming into
play.

[PHP] mail function() with MS
Hi, I'm using MS Win 98 and my ISP has PHP installed on a MS server. I'd like to display a HTML form box on my site for users to type in a message utilizing the PHP mail() function. I've tested this using Apache on my drive with a html form and a php script to receive the data and it works fine - but when the site goes live it will be hosted with an ISP with a MS server - not Apache. Is it possible to utilize the PHP mail function under these conditions? I was led to believe that I could change the configurations in my php.ini file from: SMTP: localhost to SMTP: mail.yourisp.com Greatly appreciate your advice. Thanking all in advance.

Thank you DL.
Qusetion: 1:
What would happen if I changed the php.ini settings to:
SMTP=mail.yourisp.com
sendmail_from=MyAddress@MyDomain
as opposed to:
>SMTP=smtp.ISPs.domain
..

..
I'm not sure why I would not think it is not "acceptable". Please advise.
Also...let's say I'm developing another site with a mail form box using
Win98 and Apache
Do I then have to reconfigure the php.ini files back to localhost from:
SMTP=mail.yourisp.com
Thank you.

Re: [PHP] mail() problems...
DL,
I'm not sure I understand.
I had this working a few months ago by changing the php.ini settings to:
SMTP = localhost ;for win32 only
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;for win32 only
and I was able to run that script on my box and get an e-mail returned to
me.
Now, I getting a "failed to connect".
Please advise.
I'm using MS OE5.

Re: [PHP] mail() problems...
Gentlemen, Thank you for your assistance. The PHP mail scripts were taken from Julie Meloni's book on PHP called "Fast and East" on pp. 116-117. (PrimaTech). In fact, she writes: "If you're using PHP4 on Windows, look for the following lines in your php.ini file: [mail function] SMTP =; for Win32 only sendmail_from = ;for Win32 only You'll need to modify the last two lines so that the mail function works properly. 1. For the SMTP entry, use 'localhost" or the name of the outgoing mailserver you use in your e-mail client. 2. For the sendmail_from entry, enter your e-mail address. For example in my php.ini file on Windows contains this: [mail function] SMTP =localhost sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] END QUOTE So that's what I did -using localhost - and I get: "failed to connect". I'm at a loss. Please help. Thanks. TR -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Repeats of values
I'm running the following sql query which outputs a repeat value for each
field in the html cell box.
Like this:

...
which is not what I would like.
I was trying to get:

3.3 78 2002-06-11
I thought that by dropping off the $key in the $key - $value pair
to:
while(list (,$value) = each ($line))
would accomplish that.
The SQL query is:
SELECT level, pm, date FROM daytime WHERE pm >=75
The php script is:
= 75";
$result = mysql_query ($query)
or die ("Query failed");
// printing HTML result
print ("Dates where water exceeded 75
degrees at Callicoon, New York - 2002");
print("");
print "\n";
while($line = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
print "\t\n";
while(list (,$value) = each ($line)) {
print "$value\n";
}
print "\t\n";
}
print "\n";

When the user clicks on the link, the same page loads - with the form this

If so, why does 1 - as opposed to 2 or something else - have to be the

Working on: Win 98 / mysql 3.23.55 / php 4 I installed mysql 3.23.55 and wanted to check the user table in the mysql db. The query was: SELECT User FROM user WHERE host='localhost'; The output was: xx user | xx || || root | xx 2 rows in set . In the Wrox book on PHP (page 396) by running that query it is: x--x user | x--x root | x-x 1 row in set I'm not sure why I'm getting two rows. Many thanks for your assistance.

[PHP] syntax question
Greetings...
The following is the _third_ part of a script found in Julie Meloni's book
"PHP Essentials" on page 118.
The script dynmically generates a form box of field names, field types and
field sizes for a mysql table depending on what the user chooses.
My question is about syntax or logic in the following snippet:
The variables:
$field_name
$field_type
$field_length
are carried over from the previous script.
.
$sql = "CREATE TABLE $table_name (";
for ($i = 0; $i < count($field_name); $i++) {
$sql .= "$field_name[$i] $field_type[$i]";
if ($field_length[$i] != "") {
$sql .= " ($field_length[$i]),";
} else {
$sql .= ",";
}
}
$sql = substr($sql, 0, -1);
$sql .= ")";
...
My question is about the snippet:
.
if ($field_length[$i] != "") {
$sql .= " ($field_length[$i]),";
} else {
$sql .= ",";
}
..
In that it would say that if the field_length variable is not empty then add
the (number) and comma to the sql statement
If it is empty, then just add a comma.
The question:
Is the reasoning that a comma *must* be added since this is _within_ a loop?
As in:
CREATE TABLE chairs (
id INT(5),
item VARCHAR(50),
desc TEXT ,
price FLOAT , // common should be deleted but there is no way of knowing
this within the loop.
// that's why after the loop closes there is a
substr() function to delete the comma.
);
And that after the loop ends, the comma is then deleted using the substr()
function to complete the sql statement.
TIA,
Tony Ritter
..
The complete script:
Create a Database Table: Step 3
p {font-family:arial;
font-size: .75em;}
input {border: 1px solid black;}
th {font-family:arial;
font-size: .75em;
color:red;}
h2 {font-family:arial;
font-size: 1em;}
Adding Table
Couldn't create table!";
} else {
echo "$table_name [table] has been created!";
}
?>

Re: [PHP] syntax question
This is what I was getting at.
The following is correct mysql syntax in which a comma must be added after
each field - except for the last field - in this case price:
i.e.,
.
CREATE TABLE chairs(
id int(5),
item varchar(50),
desc text,
price float
);
.
However, within the loop in her script it says to add the comma after _each_
field since there is no way of knowing when the loop will end.
Thus, why is she directing the script - after the loop has ended - to lop
off the last comma by using the
substr() function call as in:
if ($field_length[$i] != "")
{
$sql .= "($field_length[$i]) , ";
}
else
{
$sql .= ", ";
}
loop is finished.
and then...
$sql=substr($sql,0,-1); //which basically says to take the existing sql
statement string from the beginning to the next to last character and
return it to the variable $sql thus taking off the comma.
Am I on the right track?
Thank you.

[PHP] =at wit's end with GD Libraries=
I want to thank those who tried to help with my questions about using the GD libraries. I still have not gotten them to function using PHP. I've put two screenhots of the phpinfo() page at: www.gonefishingguideservice.com/php_page.htm If you care to take a look at those images, you'll see that I've got php and Apache working with MS Win 98. It also says that directories are enabled. I've searced for the following files that I believe I need for GD Libraries and PHP in Explorer and found: php_gd.dll -> C:\PHP\extensions php.ini -> C:\WINDOWS php4ts.dll -> C:\WINDOWS\System msvcrt.dll -> C:\WINDOWS\System When I load the phpinfo() page, it comes up like you see in the screenshots. However, when I _take out_ the semi-colon as in the line: ... extension=php_gd.dll //semi-colon taken out .. the page - or any page with a file extension.php will _not_load at all using Apache. However, when I _reinsert_ the semi-colon in the php.ini file, the .php page then loads. Any advice on how I can get the GD libaries to work will be greatly appreciated. At wit's end... Thank you.
