This whole thread has degraded to the point of:

YHBT. YHL. HAND.

and I'm not helping it.

RE: [PHP] inserting timestamp into mysql field

2004-09-21 Thread Chris Gregors
If you are working with a timestamp in some other format, this works
well:

$ts = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime($sring_with_timestamp));

If you want to create a timestamp at the execution time, this works
well:

$ts = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

Both will generate mysql compatiable date/time stamps.
Then do the sql insert/update of your record.

Not really a MySQL question - the answer happens to be MySQL, but the 
question asks how to do it in PHP

This might still be necessary if the OP is using something like 
DB_DataObject, as you can't really use NOW() in that situation

Try strftime [ http://uk.php.net/strftime - RTFM :) ] - a good format 
string would be "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" which will produce -00-00
00:00:00

RE: [PHP] Cannot write data in session file

2004-09-22 Thread Chris Gregors
1. logon to the linux image.
2. determine the userid that the webserver runs as (for apache, look in httpd.conf)
3. su to that user
4. cd /tmp.
5. touch temp_file.

If the touch works, then contact your sysadm
If the touch doesn't work, contact your sysadm to grant write access to /tmp for the 
user.

I just move the web pages from windows to linux. But the session variable doesn't 
work. And I found that in the \tmp directoy, it has
sess_(MD5) file,but with empty contents,just 0 byte.

BTW, I run a linux virtual host under IBM s390. the code works well in windows and 
other linux systems(not virtual host).
 
So how to fix it ?
 
Thank you!

RE: [PHP] Strange errors when PHP script called from CRON

2004-09-22 Thread Chris Gregors
Typically problems with scripts failing to run from cron can be tracked back to 
environment variables. When you run it from the shell, you have the users env 
variables set. When it runs from cron, it (typically) has a slightly different 
environment.

A simple way to test it is to get your shell environment vars with the 'set' command
And then run the 'set' command via cron (or at). You can do something like "at now", 
enter 'set' and cntl-d. The output will be mailed back to the user that ran the 
command.

Look for differences. They probally are the source.

[/snip]

The files from the ADODB class which are throwing errors have NEVER been updated.

The files which I wrote have been updated maybe once or twice in the past four months, 
but the errors have occurred both before and after the updates.

One file threw an error for the first time this morning when including another file, 
and there are no functions in this file which accept any data as all the data needed 
is pulled from the database, so that one's really got me thrown for a loop.

Any other ideas?

Cheers and TIA,

Pablo

Converting xml to an array isn't an easy of a task. given:

How is one to make this into an array?

If you have an sample xml file you wish to convert, you might
consider posting. Someone might be able to recognize your pattern
and come up with a way to convert it.

DOM and expat are two completly differnt things.

RE: [PHP] Virtual Host problem

2004-09-23 Thread Chris Gregors
scan your apache httpd.conf file for the following:

User apache
Group apache

Note the userid and groupid (I use apache).

Verify that the index.php files are readable by the apache "User" and
"Group".

Correct the file ownership and/or change the User/Group that apache runs
as.

[PHP] Scaling select lists

2004-11-02 Thread Chris Gregors
When working with select lists that grow over time, what are some solutions
people have applied to the problem of massive select lists?

This is pretty cumbersome for the users to navigate. They end up scrolling
up and down and getting annoyed.

Example:


fred
bob
... 800 more 


I've considered going to dual select boxes like the one @
http://www.philwebb.com/code/list_box.asp

Has anyone applied a solution that users appreciated to overcome massive
select lists ?
