[PHP] Evaluate PHP var in stored sql statement?
Hey all.
I need to find out how to get PHP to evaluate a PHP variable stored in our
MySql database.
Currently the variable is being read as a string; i.e. select * from table
where column = $myrow[0] -- instead of evaluating $myrow[0] as a variable.
The SQL statement is retrieved in the first call to dbConnect (see code
below)
dbConnect("SELECT header_id, header, sql_query FROM cat_headers WHERE
section_id = $_REQUEST[section_id] order by header");
$set = $result; /* Give initial result set a unique name */
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($set)) {
echo(Display the header title here);
dbConnect($myrow[2]); /* $myrow[2] is the sql_query gotten
from the first dbConnect() call */
$set1 = $result;/* Give next result set a unique name */
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($set1)) {
echo(Display category rows here);
}
}

[PHP] Switch statement || How to output html without using echo() or print()
Hey all. Don't know if this is possible, but here goes: I've got a simple switch statement that carries out one of several operations based on the switch statement variable value.

[PHP] Combine 3 MySql rows into one PHP output row ?
Hey all. I'm a recent PHP convert (coming from Cold Fusion).. Here's the deal: I've got a table that contains hockey game result info; for each goal scored I record the goal scorer ID (i.e. their Jersey Number), and assist1 and assist2 IDs if applicable. When I output the game box score I join in the roster and team tables (to get the team name and player names). In Cold Fusion I was able to group a goal info set on the time of goal (each goal returns from 1 to 3 rows depending on the number of players who contributed to the goal); then, in Cold Fusion I could use it's output function to display the goal info set as one row. For example, if three players were in on a goal, the output would look something like: Team Name-- goal scorer name (assist1 name, assist2 name) -- Time of goal -- Goal type. Since each goal can, and usualy does, have more than one participant, the scoring table will be returning more than one row for each goal scored -- how can I combine these rows into one PHP output row? If you need more info, let me know. Thanks for any ideas, --Noah -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Form Variables not getting passed || Apache, MySql, Win 2k Setup

[PHP] Single vs. Multiple DBs || Which way to go?
Hey all. I'm attempting to organize a sport report site into working order. We've got approximately 100 tables, and I'm unsure whether to break the info up by sport (i.e. baseball, basketball, hockey, etc.) or to lump all the tables in one db and prefix tables by their sport name (e.g. bk_scoring = basketball scoring table). On the surface, it would seem easier to use multiple dbs, but then again, common tables, such as schools and coach_info would have to be duplicated in each db.

Re: [PHP] Why does this happen?
Alright, alright, everyone, I could get away with this in Cold Fusion, but not in PHP. The simple example I gave is part of a more complex problem, however. Here's the deal: Let's say I have a form that requests the season schedule of a baseball team, and the team in question has twenty scheduled games all on different days. Each form row will have three select elements for the date; i.e. date(x) for the year, date(x+1) for the month, and date(x+2) for the day, or however I'll need to make each date select element unique. Then, in the insert page, I'll need to loop through each date element by groups of three and create an array for each date set. Similar to what I had to do in CF, but I could get away with naming each row of select elements as date(x) for year, date(x) for month, date(x) for day, etc. My ideas might be a little primitive here, so feel free to chime in if you've got a tighter solution Thanks, --Noah "John W.

[PHP] Sitewide Header & Footer Includes || Trouble with Relative Paths..........
Hey All. Got a perhaps easy question here: How can I create a global header and footer include to my site pages where I don't rely on absolute paths to include and image files? I'm having trouble including my header and footer .inc's within a multi-level directory structure -- the relative paths to images (and to includes within includes) are not currently accessed within the current directory structure. I'm assuming I'll need to prepend all image and include files with a path variable that I set within each page, or something along those lines?

Re: [PHP] Sitewide Header & Footer Includes || Trouble with Relative Paths..........
Hmm
Sounds like a good idea, but we've got quite a few includes in our site, not
to mention variable image paths (i.e. images/headers, images/groups, etc.)
Seems like a lot of work to create & maintain this config file + load the
references on each page.
Maybe I'm just lazy, but I wonder if there is isn't a more direct way to
modularize a site?
I'll check out your idea in any case as I haven't come up with a better
solution myself.
Thanks for the feedback,

write_select_options($tables,$form_fields,$where_clause);

[PHP] Re: Run db query with db query?
Exactly.
I'm using $result for both queries. That's how I discovered the problem:
the inner query is over-writing the outer query $result set.
Unfortunately my existing db_connect function does not account for multiple
queries.
I just pass the query as a param -- db_connect($sql). $result is returned
for each query, but this only works with single queries; not nested queries.
In any case, it doesn't seem terribly efficient to run a query within a
query, since the inner query only needs to be run once at the top of the
page.
Problem now is:
How to populate the write_select_options($tables,$form_fields,$where_clause)
function; when it returns no variable -- it just echoes out the option
values.
Looks like I need to modify the function to return a var rather than echoing
some output.
Most likely just talking to the empty universe at this point ;--)
Cheers to all php junkies...

[PHP] md5 encrypt problem
Hey all.
Having a wee bit o' trouble with a simple md5 script:
for ($x=1 ; $x <62 ; $x++) {
$mypass = "sports" . $x;
$mypass = md5($mypass);
dbConnect("UPDATE user_login SET password = '$mypass' WHERE school_id

For some reason, when I attempt to login with my md5'd user supplied
password I get no match. Bizarre, haven't had this problem
before...

[PHP] Performance and Function Calls
Hey all. Quick question: If I have a function that, say, prints out the months in a year, and I call that function within a 10 cycle loop, which of the following is faster: 1) Have function months() return months as a string; set var string_months = months() outside of the loop; then echo string_months within the loop -- OR 2) Just call months() for each iteration through the loop I'm not sure how PHP interprets option number 1.

[PHP] PHP Processing Order || Function Calls
Hey all. I was under the impression that PHP processes all php code first before handing HTML processing over to the browser. It seems that if you call an external function that, say, queries your db for data and spits out populated formfields, the function is processed somehow simultaneously with staright HTML. The result in this case is that my submit button appears above the formfields! Here's a quick example: *** global_functions.php "; } return $string; } ?> *** print_form.php $display_form = make_form($sql); ?> *** Result Submit button on top Formfields are below submit button Any info much appreciated. I'd like to avoid having to pop the submit button in based on the number of records returned, or other workaround.

[PHP] Code Design || Functions vs. Switch Statements
Hey all. I'm looking for guidance from any PHP Gurus, or gurus in the making re: whether to use a function based design or a switch statement based design for a multi-sport data driven sport report. Alright, here's the deal: Last year I developed a data driven hockey report for a friend -- the site has done rather well. Based on the success of his site, I thought I'd launch a spec sport report and see what happens (that's where I'm at now). Over the past few weeks I've been converting the single sport hockey report over to a multi-sport interface. In doing so, I realized that many of the hard coded templates I developed in Cold Fusion could be converted to PHP functions; thus saving time for common sport development (i.e. baseball and softball have the same stats, so no need to replicate hard coded templates, just call function(s) to do the work). Due to my relative beginner developer status, I'm coming from a position of ignorance -- I don't know for sure what the best way to proceed actually is. The functions I've created work, but I can't shake the notion that there is a better way to proceed -- and I'm sure if you've got any programming experience under your belt, you've already got a few ideas in mind. The question: if you were to undertake this project, would you develop functions (not objects -- I'm not there yet), to create templates for submitting game results, or would you break it down into switch statements with include files, or none of the above? Any advice greatly appreciated, Give a holler if you need more details --Noah -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thanks for the suggestion.
Still no luck though with the file path on windows; e.g. file path is
http://192.168.1.2/dev_files/drop_down.js
So, when I open the file for writing: $fw = fopen($file_path, "wb") an error
results ("can't open file")
Looks like I need to escape out of slashes within the file path on windows.
In any case, thanks for the idea -- it's a step in the right direction,

[PHP] strip_tags() Quandry....
Hey all.
I've got a chunk of HTML text I'd like to format for insertion into our
mySql db.
Let's say $html_string equals the following:
1
Bardo, Jesse
S
A
Andover, MA
To setup this chunk of text for insertion I first use
strip_tags($html_string); that results in:
1
Bardo, Jesse
S
A
Andover, MA
I then use str_replace(",","",$html_string) to create a space delimited
string.
Here's where I believe the problem occurs. There are apparently numerous
blank spaces within the string. I've tried replacing the blank spaces, or
whatever is separating the data to no avail.
I've tried a number of aimless efforts to get the string properly formatted,
but no luck -- any suggestions?
Thanks for helping me over this hurdle...

[PHP] Generating Static Pages || Preserve PHP Code?
Hey all.
Interesting problem here, at least for me ;--):
How to generate php pages using fopen() without having php code evaluated in
the written pages?
For example, if build_pages.php runs a db query and, based on the result
set, produces a test page using fopen(), how to avoid having php code
getting evaluated?
Here's an example snippet:
*
// Set read & write paths
$write_path = "C:\\apache\\htdocs\\client_site\\files\\";
$write_path = $write_path . "example_page.php";
$read_path = $doc_path . "build_pages.php";
// Read file to variable & close
$fr = fopen($read_path, "r") or die("An error occurred while opening
$read_path");
$text = "";
while (!feof($fr)){ $text .= fread($fr, 10); }
fclose($fr);
// Create example page
$fw = fopen($write_path, "wb") or die("An error occurred while opening
$write_path");
// Write data to example page
$make_page = fwrite($fw, $text);
fclose($fw);
*
Give a holler for more info -- I know the question is a little vague -- I'm
still figuring out how to implement this solution..

[PHP] count() & numerical arrays....
Hey all.
Another simple, yet baffling for me, question:
I have a comma delimited list of numbers; e.g. $num_list = "1,2,3,4"
I split the number list to array -- $num_list_array = split("," $num_list)
I then count the number of elements -- $count = count($num_list_array);
I do not get 4 for $count, rather 1!
I can't stand coming up with cludgy workarounds just to count the number of
elements in a numerical list.
Any ideas?

[PHP] Web server file perms || More than I can chew.....
Hey all. Got a problem with a site builder app I've spent three months developing. On my local machine (win2k pro, apache), no problems -- everything works just as designed. Today I began testing on the live server; i.e. my client's hosting company (linux, apache 1.3.27, php 4.3.1) -- that's when the trouble started. The site builder app builds static pages based on changes made by users in our online administration center. When I test out creating a new site section; i.e. triggering my make_file function(writes page content to new file) I receive the following error: Warning: fopen(/local_server_path/file_to_create.php) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: Permission denied I've attempted to chmod(777) my testing directory via ftp client, which appears to work; however, when I fileperms($file_in_test_dir), I get chmod(644), so clearly I'm not the owner.

Thanks for the informative post, Lowell & Marek. Our host suggested chmod-ing necessary directories via ftp.

I'm not a huge fan of the latest version of php now either. I was able to open external files (e.g. http://somesite.com/index.php) with fopen(); no such luck in this realease.

[PHP] fopen() || Execute read file as php page; not plain text
Any ideas here?
was able to use an absolute reference on my local machine to execute read
file contents; e.g. fopen('http://www.mysite.com/index.php', 'a'), but on

paths. Problem is, when I use a relative path, I just get plain text; i.e.
the read file doesn't get executed as php.
eval()'s not an option either, as the read file(s) has apostrophes, quotes
top-to-bottom.
Basically, I just need the file-to-be-read to have the queries within it run
as if it were run in the web browser.

Yes, the read file is a nested set of queries that populates a js pop up

be executed.

[PHP] session_start() || shell access problem......
Hey all. I'm running a script from the command-line php interpreter as follows: (thanks to D. Souza for lead) $text = `usr/local/bin/php /path/to/my/php/page.php`; within the read file I want to enable sessions, so I session_start() at the top of the page: Regardless of how I mess around with placement of session_start(), I get a "Headers already sent". Why? Nothing has been output to the browser within the read file! Furthermore, if I create a test page with just: Still receive "Headers already sent". My eyes are completely fried -- anyone feel like saving my vision? --Noah -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] session_start() || shell access problem......
Hey Robert. Indeed, hard to find the problem. I don't believe it's a whitespace issue, or even a "Headers sent issue", despite the fact that I'm receiving that error. Check it out: test.php contains just one line: test1.php, the file to be executed, contains just one line: There are no line breaks, spaces, etc. Still get "Headers already sent". Pretty strange, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the problem may be related to the fact that when files are executed from the command line, php now looks for include_paths, session_paths, etc. relative to the server root; not the site root. I can think of no other reason why include paths, starting sessions, and so on, return errors from the command line but ork perfectly fine when run in a browser. Feel free to clue me in -- I know didly about shell access issues. --Noah "Robert Cummings" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Sat, 2003-09-20 at 15:46, CF High wrote: > > Hey all. > > > > I'm running a script from the command-line php interpreter as follows: > > (thanks to D.

H, Well, is there a way to pass params to file_to_be_executed in command line? For example: Somehow I need $my_param to be passed to page.php (the file to be processed in command line).

Re: [PHP] session_start() || shell access problem......
Thank the heavens above
Actually, thank "Ben", a poster from php.net manual.
Looks like environment variables are not passed to file when it is executed
from the command line.
A workaround is:
$inc_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/';
$remaddr = getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT");
putenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT=$inc_path");
That does the trick for what I need done now; namely, being able to include
files within my command line executed files.
Still, there must be a way to pass params to command line executed
files..

[PHP] IE6 Session Problem
Hey all. Hope this will help someone hours of useless searching. Looks like out-of-the-box winXP machines running IE6 have session cookies automatically disabled! Ug, 24 hours slogging through newsgroups to stumble across this solution myself. If you have a login based site & rely on session(s), IE6 users will not be able to log in unless they do the following: 1) Internet Options >> Privacy >> Advanced 2) Check the "Always Allow Session Cookies" checkbox HTH, --Noah -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Session Expiration Problem....
Hey all. Our hosting company sets session vars to expire every 15 minutes. I've setup an Admin Center for users to enter various types of information, some of which, for example entering a basketball team roster, can take slower users upwards of 25 minutes or more. The result? Admin user spends 25 minutes entering data; clicks the submit button; then is redirected to the login page because their session expired! -- all form data is lost -- not good Is there a way to extend the php session timeout for particular pages?

Re: [PHP] Session Expiration Problem....
Hey Lowell.
H, no, not a particularly elegeant solution, but it must work for you.
I'm experimenting with >> ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 4320);
Don't know if this will extend the session timeout; i.e. garbage collection
routine, I'm still testing it.
A total drag that our host limits session timeouts to just 15 minutes!
Must be a workaround for this...

[PHP] md5() with rand() || Strange results, need help....
Hey all. I'm running an online sport report that is member protected; i.e. users need to login to gain site access. When a new user signs up, I set their username to their email address & generate a temporary password for them using rand() & md5(): $username = strip_illegals($_POST['email']); $plain_pass = rand(); $password = md5($plain_pass); I then insert their login info into our member's table. Unexpectedly, when users attempt to login no matching record is found. Their login submits two post fields (username & password): $username = trim(strtolower($_POST['username'])); $password = trim(strtolower($_POST['password')); $password = md5($password); The username matches, but the password does not -- I've echoed the md5'd submitted password & maddenlingly, it doesn't match. I've had no problem using md5() before and am completely dumbfounded as to why this is not working. If anyone has any clues as to what might be happening; i.e. why the md5'd submitted plain text password does not match the stored md5'd password, please, please let me know.

Their receiving the $plain_pass
$plain_pass is md5'd on login submit, so we should get md5($plain_pass ) =
db stored md5'd($plain_pass ).
Makes no sense at all.

password field is char (32) Strange that the usernames are all properly set to the submitted email address, but the password is not properly updated. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but $plain_pass = rand(); /* plain pass should be a random # */ md5($plain_pass); /* plain pass is a random # here and not another call to rand() */ I went ahead and created a test user account for myself -- no problem at all.

Re: [PHP] md5() with rand() || Strange results, need help....
It doesn't appear to be cookie settings either, nor auto-fill in. I do not have auto-complete running; when I log in under an affected users account, the stored md5($plain_password) does not match the submitted md5($plain_password). Could it be perhaps that md5() works differently with integers vs. a text string?

[PHP] Zlib Compression || Implementation || Bandwidth Savings?
Hey all. Having a good problem -- our hockey report site has jumped from 10 gigs/month to 30+ gigs/month & growing. We're getting killed in bandwidth fees at the moment; barring switching to another host, will utilizing ZLIB compression significantly reduce bandwidth? Also, in terms of ZLIB settings, I've ini_set() zlib compression to ON. Additionally, do I need to ob_start() (& flush) page output? I am uncertain how to implement the following: example.php Thanks for any advice, --Noah -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Zlib Compression || Implementation || Bandwidth Savings?
H Looks like the majority of sent bandwidth is html, not image files >> ratio is at least 10:1 html to images. With that in mind, setting zlib compression to ON seems the way to go. Question is, how to implement compression? Is it enough to just ini_set() zlib compression to ON? i.e. will all content be automatically be compressed, or do I need to ob_start() & ob_end_clean() at the start and end of each page? TIA for any clues -- I'm obviously confused about compression techniques. --Noah "Rush" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > "Cf High" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Having a good problem -- our hockey report site has jumped from 10 > > gigs/month to 30+ gigs/month & growing. > > > > We're getting killed in bandwidth fees at the moment; barring switching to > > another host, will utilizing ZLIB compression significantly reduce > > bandwidth? > > well it depends what uses most of your bandwith.

Hey all.
No such luck re: just using ini_set() to compress pages
Rush's link is HIGHLY useful -- thanks Rush!

Works without a hitch in IE 5+ and NN 4.7+ with PHP 4.2.3

My lord, this rocks! Our pages load at least twice as fast now, and bandwidth will likely be reduced by at least a factor of 2. I would strongly recommend utilizing zlib compression functions to anyone looking to speed page delivery & reduce bandwidth! --Noah "Rush" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > "Ammar Ibrahim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > if this works for you, could you please post your story in the group. this > > is very interesting if you could save 50% of your bandwidth just by > turning > > the zlib flag :) > > if you check amount of data that gets transfered from > http://www.moj-posao.net/ (once that images are cached, which is usually > imediately after the first page is loaded) you will see that amount > transfered is is in region of 10k, while the html source of the page is > about 50k.

[PHP] Re: Search Engines || Dynamic Content || Apache Mod_Rewrite....
Hey all. I've got a PHP-MySql database driven site setup in a shared hosting environment that does NOT support apache mod_rewrite. Is there a workaround for getting dynamic pages (e.g. index.php?display=contact) indexed in major search engines without using mod_rewrite? Any clues very much appreciated.

[PHP] Re: PHP || MySql Directory Tree Problem......
Hey all. I've developed a site builder application that allows my clients to build/maintain their sites without my having to deal with tedious web design tasks. The current version has some problems, however. To resolve these issues I've switched over to an MVC (Model-View-Controller) structured site. Great results so far except for one problem: the site directory structure. Currently I have all page ids & titles stored in my "site_tree" table. The site_tree table has the following structure: prime_id (int auto_increment) parent_id (int) layout (int) secure (int) pop_menu (char 1) title (var char 200) Here's some example to data to clarify the purpose of this table: prime_id parent_id layout secure pop_menu title 2 0 2 0 Y Resources 3 0 1 0 Y Memberships 4 2 3 0 N Children and Youth 5 0 3 0 N Events 6 2 1 0 N Adult Education Rows 3 & 5; i.e. Children and Youth & Adult Education, correspond to the parent category, Resources, whose prime_id is 2. So, each child category's parent_id is the prime_id of the parent category and each child can be a parent to many children. One use of this structure is to auto build the javascript popup menu for the site navigation (the pop_menu flag is used for this purpose). The problem I'm having is retrieving data from, for example, the products table: prime_id page_id copy product_type 1 4 Test 1 2 6 Test1 1 The products table page_id equals the prime_id of the site_tree table. When I query for product data based on the product category; i.e. Resources, which has a prime_id of 2, there is no matching record in the products table (since the products table only contains specific items, not category data). So, what can I do to join the site_tree table with the products table and other similarly structured tables? Please email for further details -- there's likely stuff I'm leaving out. TIA for ny clues re: site tree models. --Noah --
[PHP] Re: PHP || Create File (not upload) with ftp()?
Hey all. I've been having ownership issues when writing files with fwrite(); i.e. file owner is "nobody" while ftp'd files are owned by the site owner. In order to streamline file management, I'd like to be able to write files on our webhost server using PHP's ftp functions; not using fwrite() and the like. So, for example, let's say I have the following data to be written to file: $test = "I'm test data"; How would I use ftp() functions to write $test to file on the webserver? Any help much appreciated. --Noah -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] PHP 4.2.3 || Can't unset $_SESSION!
Hey all. Strange problem here. I'm running on apache 1.3.26 & php 4.2.3. In a test page, test1.php, I set $_SESSION['checker'] = 1; In another test page, test2.php, I unset($_SESSION['checker']); When I print_r($_SESSION) in test1.php, $_SESSION['checker'] is still set & still equals 1! I've tried session_unregister($checker), session_unregister($_SESSION['checker']), unset($checker), etc. -- none of them unset this particular session var. Very strange behavior. Interestingly, I can set $_SESSION['checker'] = 0 (instead of 1) in test2.php & that works fine when I print_r($_SESSION) in test1.php. Any clues as to why this might be happening? FYI, register globals is set to ON. Let me know if you need further details. TIA, --Noah -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
