[PHP] storing arrays

2002-02-16 Thread Clark

Two questions:

1) Is it possible to write an array to a file?
2) Is it possible to specify the name of the key to each item of an array
when you get the array using file().

Thanks a lot.

Re: [PHP] storing arrays

2002-02-17 Thread Clark

I'm having trouble storing my array to a text file, utilizing serialize()
and unserialize().  Could you please show a very basic layout of the proper
way to serialize and unserialize and store that to a file?  Thanks.

RE: [PHP] Can PHP do this...?

2002-12-11 Thread Ronald Clark
John, PHP-general,

OK. I think I understand this, but let me ask just to be sure.

So if I setup in my page something to this effect:
if ($_SERVER['!HTTPS']) {
echo "Switching over to SSL...";
echo "";
} else {
echo "**Rest of Page**";
}

Would this work? I am about to add a secind site to my site using an alias
in Apache. Example is http://www.mysite.com for first site and
http://www.mysite.com/2ndsite. Except I want everything for the second site
to be https. Make sense?

Thanks again,
Ron Clark

I think it's $_SERVER['HTTPS']. If that is set, then the connection is over
SSL.

You have to use double quotes like:
include "path/to/$job"

or add like this:

include 'path/to/'.$job

Based upon the second example on
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sockets.php :

echo "TCP/IP Connection\n";

/* Get the service for TCP-Port 25. */
$service_port = getservbyport (25, 'tcp');

/* Get the IP address for the target host. */
$address = gethostbyname ('www.example.com');

/* Create a TCP/IP socket. */
$socket = socket_create (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if ($socket < 0) {
echo "socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror ($socket) .
"\n";
} else {
echo "OK.\n";
}

echo "Attempting to connect to '$address' on port '$service_port'...";
$result = socket_connect ($socket, $address, $service_port);
if ($result < 0) {
echo "socket_connect() failed.\nReason: ($result) " .
socket_strerror($result) . "\n";
} else {

[PHP] Why Can't I get this to work

2003-06-25 Thread Ron Clark
Hello all,

I have a php script that reads a flat text file with fields seperated by a
space. I explode them into an array just fine, but when I try then to load
that array into a mysql database, it doesn't work. Here is my script:

for ($i=0; $i<$number_of_alerts; $i++) {
// Split each line
$line = explode(" ", $ipfwlog[$i]);

$line[1] = intval($line[1]);

$IPFWsql = "INSERT INTO Firewall_Logs (month, date, time, fw_name, kernel,
fw_engine, rule_number, action, protocol, src
$results = mysql_query($IPFWsql) or die ("Could not execute query");

}

Any ideas why this does not work? I am completely stuck.

Thanks in advance,

quotes"".

If I do this:
mysql_query("DELETE FROM product WHERE manufacturer="$hidden_manuf_id,$bb)

[PHP] passing variable question

2002-11-11 Thread Ron Clark
Hello all,

I have a php script that reads all the files in a directory (pictures), the
outputs each picture as a link to be displayed in the main frame of the html
page. All of that works fine. I want to be able to "pretty up" the picture
out put by placing the picture into a html table so it is centered, add
color, etc. But I cannot seem to figure out how to pass the variable from
the menu page to the main frame page without using a goofy gray button form.
Anyone know how to pass a variable on just a link alone?

Re: [PHP] Apache error after setting path for mysql=

I don't know if this is your problem for sure, but here goes..

configure says:

for i in lib lib/mysql; do

  str="$MYSQL_DIR/$i/libmysqlclient.*"
  for j in `echo $str`; do
if test -r $j; then
  MYSQL_LIB_DIR="$MYSQL_DIR/$i"
  break 2
fi
  done

  done

  if test -z "$MYSQL_LIB_DIR"; then
{ echo "configure: error: Cannot find mysqlclient library under $MYSQL_DIR" 1>&2; 
exit 1; }
  fi


So it's checking /usr/local/etc/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.* and
/usr/local/etc/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.*

And it didn't spit out:

"configure: error: Cannot find mysqlclient library under
/usr/local/etc/mysql"

Right?

Then it obviously found it, which prompted you to start Apache.

SR> Cannot load /usr/local/etc/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server:
SR> Shared object "libmysqlclient.so.10" not found

Try sticking the path to that library (/usr/local/etc/mysql/lib/mysql) into
ld.so.conf and run ldconfig once as root.

Then build php with mysql support again and start apache.

I find myself saying this a lot , but see if that fixes it.

I'm half alseep. I see what you're saying. I suppose if you did:

include('corn.php');

It's going to try each path. Ie. ".:/include:/usr/src"

./corn.php
(if not in .) /include/corn.php
(if not in /include) /usr/src/corn.php
(if not in /usr/src) Error.

And I *suspect* that even if you use ../corn.php, it's going to try
the include paths in the same way.

../corn.php is equivalent to ./../corn.php

Not quite; you want the concatenation operator:

$Birthdate = "$year$month$day";

$Birthdate = "${year}${month}${day}";

$HTTP_REFERER and determine which engine it came from, parse it (using
explode() probably (maybe by the ? mark; again I haven't done this)),
then maybe explode() it again based on &, then  explode() each
key/value pair on = -- if they even use that type of query string.
That's why I mentioned, "determine which engine it came from."

All wild guesses, but that may lead you in the right direction.

Re: [PHP] stripping the keywords from a search engine... again...

2001-01-17 Thread Brian Clark


Hello Dallas, 

(DK == "Dallas Kropka") [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

DK> Posted earlier but got no response so here it is again...

I gave you a quick explanation of one way to do it earlier, but I know
of no tutorials off the top of my head.

Here is a lengthy example if you _have_ to see code:

http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?q=foo+and+bar+and+baz&kl=XX&pg=q&Translate=on';

/* the above would obviously be $HTTP_REFERER */
/* I typed in 'foo and bar and baz'   */

$parts = explode('?',$URI);
$query = explode('&',$parts[1]);
$terms = explode('=',$query[0]);
$keywords = explode('+',$terms[1]);

print 'They used: ';
while(list(,$keyword) = each($keywords))
{
print "$keyword";
/*
  still going to print
  'and' and 'or' and 'not' and ..
*/
}

?>

But there has to be an easier solution out there that's already been
ridden to death. The above is going to get nasty rather quickly I'd
imagine, and every search engine, more than likely, is going to have a
completely different query string. There's no way I'm going to look.
:)

I wouldn't reinvent the wheel; go do some searching, poke through
someone's "stats" code. I'm sure this has been done before in PHP, and
I _know_ it's been done in Perl -- which is fairly easy to translate.

Why not use the CGI to write the output to a shtml (or whatever) on

With the right extension, as defined in your server conf files, it

Re: [PHP] Help with PHP Shell Scripting

Hello Justin, 

(JY == "Justin Yu") [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

JY> When I tried connecting to Postgres through a shell script that I
JY> wrote, I get the following error:

JY> "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pg_connect()"

Because you don't have pgsql (PostgreSQL) support built into your

Either a CGI or a DSO can have pgsql support. You just have to build
it that way.

Try the snapshot at:

http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz

Make sure you have a good installation of PostgreSQL from:

http://www.postgresql.org/software.html

Configure:

./configure --with-pgsql=/path/to/postgresql/base

You may want --enable-force-cgi-redirect, you decide
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/html/security.html#security.cgi)

Then see if it builds correctly.

How about a sub-directory (although it might not work until you get

In httpd.conf:

ScriptAlias /cgi/ "C:/apache/cgi-bin/"

#
# "C:/Apache/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

AllowOverride None
Options None


#
# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers",

Why not just make cron (once a day) read the quotes file, pick a

The only time I've ever gotten this error is when there were either
two installations of Apache on the system, or leftovers from a
previous installation (Ie. BSDi (the worst) and RedHat).

Run updatedb if you're on Linux, then do a locate for apxs. If you
find more than one, you need to find out which one belongs to the
currently running httpd.

If all else fails you can backup your web files, cgi-bin,
configuration files, etc. and remove everything that is Apache on the
system. Then do a complete, fresh install of Apache and try building
PHP as a DSO again.

But, I would probably make sure it's not getting confused by the
multiple apxs scripts first.

Hello Philip, 

(PO == "Philip Olson") [EMAIL PROTECTED] forecasted:

PO> http://www.php.net/tips.php

PO> it will turn your browser into a search machine.

Even better, for people who use EditPlus (sorry, unsure about other
editors) you can do this with just one shortcut from within EditPlus
itself.

Since IE 5 is my primary browser:

Follow the instructions on http://www.php.net/tips.php for adding the
Quick Search add-on. (I named my shortcut php, but you could use
anything you wanted.)

Then in EditPlus, go to:

 Tools -> Configure User Tools
 Click on the 'Add Tool >>' button.
 Choose 'Program' from the pop-out.
 I named mine 'PHP Search'
 Command: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe
 Argument: php $(CurWord)

 (Where 'php' in the above is the same shortcut name you entered in IE
 Quicksearch)
 
 Initial Directory: leave it blank or you'll get the the 'Launch
 Window' MS-DOS box along with the browser.

 Click 'Apply' then 'OK'

Now, when you need to consult the manual for a specific function (or
heck, any term), just hit Ctrl+[number] where [number] is the shortcut
displayed beside 'PHP Search' in the Tools menu.

For example, if I placed my cursor right before the 'm' in:

 @mysql_pconnect($host, $username, $password)

And hit Ctrl+6, it opens IE and takes me straight to:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-pconnect.php

For the 'Argument' line in 'Configure User Tools' you could also use
php $(CurSel) but you'll have to highlight a word before you hit
Ctrl+[number].

If you're not using IE, this should still be pretty easy to configure.

If anyone can't get this to work, let me know off-list. I'll be glad
to help.

Ah, well it depends one which version you're using. Ack, in that case
you could always use $(CurSel) and highlight the function name and it
would work OK in all versions (but an upgrade would be better).

I'm using Beta 2.10a (I'm in the Beta program), but I'm not completely

If you go into settings and syntax for PHP in Preferences, I see a

No, that's not right either. That shouldn't have anything to do with
it. Because it still works with something like:

$GLOBALS['|HTTP_HOST'] for HTTP_HOST and $|GLOBALS['HTTP_HOST'] for
the word globals.

Where | is the cursor.

Ahh! It's because of the new (?) 'Word Delimiters' field in Prefs ->

Spiffy.

Install the CGI executable of PHP in c:\php

Reboot.

I'd use sessions:

I have no idea what you're talking about here, but if you're wanting
to build some type of GUI based application you might as well either
use PHP-GTK (http://gtk.php.net) or just use a HTML, PHP and a web

You don't. Just store the age of the session (date,time,whatever) in

No way.

"XML is a set of rules, guidelines, conventions, whatever you want to

produces files that are easy to generate and read (by a computer),
that are unambiguous, and that avoid common pitfalls, such as lack of

That's easy. If you're getting the two locations' data from a mysql
table, just reuse the same information for the pull down.

Is 'location' in your table the 'label' for that meeting? Ie., is
'location' in your SQL below going to be something like "Chicogo Round
Table Discussion"?

If not, add another column for that label and use that for the
listings above the form, and use that again for the select.

For the date column in your SQL below, use either the value of time()
from PHP, or use one of the built in mysql date functions like
DATETIME.

Then you'll just need to compare the current date to the ones listed
in the table and only show the meetings dated for the current day or
greater. If the expired meetings won't change, you could leave them in
the table and only modify the date down the road. If they're a one
time thing, you can drop the expired listings as you're doing your
date check for the current/future meetings to extract from the table.

Since you're reusing the 'location,' your drop down matching the top
listings should already be taken care of.

You'll just need to read the data using mysql_fetch_array() or
mysql_fetch_object(). There are examples of those in the manual at
http://www.php.net. (enough to do what you're wanting to do.)

As you read the data, you can print rows with two cells. If you have 5
meeting entries, you'll end up with a 2 x 3 table with the 2nd cell in
the last row being empty.

Since you'll be reusing the 'location label' from the rows' printing,
your select should be populated with the same information.

> I just can't figure out how to make them wrap into groups of info

No idea what you mean by 'groups of info' unless you mean rows from
the table.

Grabbing the data into an array is going to be a lot quicker than
making several separate queries, probably. If you're having trouble
with arrays, there are lots of folks here willing to help to clarify
them when you get into trouble.

One way is to implode() the data from an array into a single line
(separated by whatever you wish), then write the line to the file on
disk.
