[PHP] File uploads...
Hi all,
I am updating a site accounting for register_globals = off. I have a
page which allows for the uploading of a number of files. The page sends
these in an "array" of files.
The destination script used to have:
if ($AttachmentCount > 0) {
foreach($userfile as $key => $value) {
AddAttachment($BPFNo, $value, $userfile_name[$key],
$userfile_size[$key], $userfile_type[$key]);
}
}
Where attachmentcount was a variable which could be 0 (no uploads) or
more (counting the number of $userfile[] variables there should be.
AddAttachment is a function that actually saves the attachment into a
database.
How would I re-do this?
What I would preferably do is have the script AddAttachment for each
$_FILES[] there might be. If I need to change it from an array type
($userfile[]) in the calling script, I can easily do this.
Can someone help me?
Thanks

[PHP] Dumb POST Array question
Hi all, I have a multiple select called Consultants[] In one page. On the target page, how would I reference it? Would it be: $_POST['Consultants'][0] $_POST['Consultants'][1] Etc Or something else?

[PHP] PHP receiving e-mail
Hi all, I want to develop a script that can read an e-mail from a pop account, and then perform actions on that e-mail based on characteristics of the e-mail (e.g. header information, attachments, etc) Does anyone know of a way to receive e-mails via php, and then to parse them easily. My assumption would be that there should be a class out there somewhere that handles it well.

[PHP] Mailing list addon for PHP-Nuke-type app
Hi all, I am looking for a PHP-Nuke/Slashdot -type of php-based application, which can run on an Interbase database. On drawback I currently have with the others is that it does not seem to have a listserv type of interface, with subscription/unsubscription requests/archives/digests/etc. Does anyone know about something written in PHP that I can use for this. A modular approach which allows for other things later on (cataloguing/download management/etc) would be useful. Oh, it also needs access control.

[PHP] Sessions problem and unsettling Session variables
Hi all, I have a problem... I have 3 pages in a search mechanism. Page 1 (Search.php) unsets all related session variables. It then displays a form which allows the user to specify search criteria. Submission sends us to Page 2 Page 2 (generateListSQL.php) Sets up the basic database search query Adds the filters specified in page 1 to the search query Each filter is saved as a session variable (using $_SESSION['varname'] = $_GET['varname'];) to re-process later if needed Saves the final (working) SQL queries as session variables Calls Page 3 Page 3 (ListBPF.php) Displays the filter conditions (from the Session Variables) Executes the query Displays the results in a table. This all works - on the first attempt. Subsequent attempts will happily overwrite the session variables, but will not remove them (as specified in page 1) Page 1 startes with: Session_start(); $_SESSION['variablename1'] = null; unset ($_SESSION['Variablename1']; $_SESSION['variablename2'] = null; unset ($_SESSION['Variablename2']; $_SESSION['variablename3'] = null; unset ($_SESSION['Variablename3']; And so on. Why will this not work? I refresh the page. I am using PHP 4.2.2. Register Globals - Off, Track Vars - on. Any ideas why the session variables refuse to be unset?

[PHP] File upload problem...
Hi all,
I have a form with a file upload section. The target script contains the
following:
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['newuserfile']['tmp_name'])) {
AddAttachment($BPFNo, $newuserfile, $newuserfile_name,
$newuserfile_size, $newuserfile_type);
}
AddAttachment() is an included function which works elsewhere.
When running this, I get the following error:
Notice: Undefined index: newuserfile in
c:\webpages\intranet\htmlroot\optimiza\bpf\updatebpf.php on line 77
And obviously, the attachment is not added.
Where can I look for info on the $_FILES global array, and start
narrowing down the problem.
One caveat - I currently have no internet access (e-mail only). Could
people please e-mail me information especially if they want to include
links to relevant websites.

[PHP] Unsetting Session Variables
Hi all, I am having problems unsetting Session Variables - where I know it should work. I have a form. It contains both links with GET variables, and also a POST form. They all go to the same next page. Page 2 simply clears all session variables, and then sets them based upon the contents of the GET or POST array. It then calls page 3 which displays information based on the SESSION variable contents. My problem is that a session variable does not seem to unset. I am using: unset ($_SESSION['variablename']); But this does not seem to destroy the session variable. (it is still available later in other scripts) What can I do?

PHP version? register_globals on or off? Using only $_SESSION, or are
there any session_register() calls?
All of these can affect what you have to do to destroy session values,
but...
Have you tried doing session_unregister('variablename') *in* *addition*?
Does session_write_close() help?
Cheers!

[PHP] New Server advice
Hi all, I am setting up a new production server. Assuming that I do not need register globals, what does everyone suggest for setting it up: Linux machine Apache PHP 4.2.3 My real question is whether I should install with Apache 1.3.27 or Apache 2.0.43 This implies 3 questions: 1. Does PHP 4.2.3 work properly with Apache 2.0.43? In a production server? 2. Are there features in Apache 2.0 that would be beneficial? 3. What is the learning curve line from moving to installing, configuring and running Apache 1.3 to 2.0?

Hi there, My brain has just gone very fuzzy... I have a search string ($search) and a result ($result). I need to highlight every occurance of $search in $result.

Hi Erwin,
Yep, this does exactly what str_replace does.
How can I make the whole thing case insensitive:
$result= "This Is A Test, Isn't It?"
$search= "IS"
It will include the 'is' in 'This', and also the 'Is' and the 'is' in
'isn't'.

Try the following one:
$result = "This is a test, isn't it?";
$search = "is";
$result = preg_replace( '/(' . $search . ')/i', "\$1", $result );

Yeap, you need a regexp...
$result = eregi_replace($search,"$search",$result);
This will be a little slower that str_replace, but it's the easiest way
if you need case insensitivity...

Read my reply to your previous reply ;-))
But...some more explanation:
$result = preg_replace( '/(' . $search . ')/i', "\$1", $result );
The first argument is the pattern, which is '/(for)/i' in the case of
searching for "for". That will match every occurence of "for", "For",
"fOr", and so on. The case insensitivy is reached by the "i" modifier at
the end of the pattern. The second argument is the replace string. The
$1 is an backward reference to the first item between brackets. That'll
mean that the from the word Forward, the $1 parameter will contain
"For". So, the "For" -part from "Forward" will be replaced with For and that's exactly what you want
(right?)...
Hope this clears your brain up ;-)))

[PHP] Stripping HTML tags, but keeping entities...
Hi all I have a text field that users can enter any information into (it is supposed to be a description field) For obvious reasons, I want to strip unfriendly HTML/PHP tags. This I am doing using: strip_tags($_POST['Duplicate'], ' '); OK, so this is cool. I got this list from the Slashdot allowed tags list, which I would assume is ok. Now I get someone sending me information such as: "In fact the value of the destination is < the source." Strip_tags removes all info after the < sign. Obviously I would like to convert it to a > entity, but how can I do both of these? Thanks for any advice.

RE: [PHP] character ' in switch
Hi Martin,
Just a thought - can't you escape it?
switch ($_GET['action']) {
case "about":
code
break;
case "what\'s new": <-- i want this...
code
break;
default:
break;
}
You would definitely need to put it into quotes (as I have above)
For newer versions of PHP, you would also want register globals off, and
thus you would probably want to use $_GET['action'] as I have above. If
you are using OLD PHP, then use HTTP_GET_VARS instead.

RE: [PHP] character ' in switch
Hi Ernest,
I stand corrected. (I tend to standardise on double quotes where
possible, and rarely use singles)
Thanks for correcting me on this.
Thanks

You need to escape a quote if it's in a string that is quoted with the
same
quote:
"Double quoted string needs to \"escape\" double quotes but not
'single quotes'"
'Single quoted string needs not to "escape" double quotes but
\'single quotes\'"

[PHP] Preg_replace question
Hi all,
Following on from a previous discussion, I am trying to write a "safe"
strip_tags function.
I start by applying htmlentities to the entire string, and then convert
"allowed" tags back.
One of the steps I am looking at doing is to replace something "<a
href="blah" onmouseover="blah">" with ""
What would be a good preg_replace string for this?
Preg_replace('/(<A)/i', ',
but drop everything else.
I will be googling on this too, but a reply from this group is always
quicker
Thanks

[PHP] Database Abstraction Suite
Hi all I am busy developing a PHP DB application. I obviously want this to be as portable as possible - and then went to the Zend pages. I have looked at the DB abstraction Applications. There are five or so which have all been rated as a four dot (I presume out of 5). Does anyone have any experience with DB Absteraction suites. If so, I need one that supports InterBase/Firebird and also supports MySQL. I would like to know what they are like in terms of ease of learning the generic things, etc, etc. Thanks in advance David Russell -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Stock Prices
Hi all How would I get recent stock prices in a page? I obviously need to get this from some source. I am looking for local (South African) and international share prices for a portal-type system. What I will probably do (for the sake of speed) is have a cron job periodically fetch the relevant prices, and put them in a database. This will then be displayed from the database (I know - delayed stock prices are ok) What I am really after is a method of getting share prices from the net. I have no idea about how to go about doing this - where to get them from, etc. Please help...

[PHP] Editing Word Documents
Hi all I have just had a request about editing Word Documents... I have an intranet, which provides access to, amongst others, Word Documents about policies, etc. What the guys are looking for is a way to do the following: 1. Show a list of files available for editing 2. If a file is clicked, then it is locked for other users (no access) 3. The file opens on the client's machine 4. The client edits it 5. The client then closes the file, it "auto-saves" and he goes about his business. Points 1 through 3 are relatively trivial. Point 4 and 5 (especially 5) have me lost. How do you get a file to be edited, and then automatically returned to the server by M$ Word in it's changed format. Is this possible? How would this change in a database-backended system (including the files as BLOBs)?

[PHP] replacing multiple spaces with one
Hi all
(easy one - I think)
I need to replace all instances of multiple spaces in a string with a
single space.
I tries the following:
$ArticleText = str_replace(' ', ' ', $ArticleText);
but if I have four spaces, I am left with two - this is wrong...
I am sure that I am really looking for a ereg_replace or preg_replace,
but having no c/perl programming background, I do not know either perl
or standard regex syntax.
Could someone tell me what the correct ereg/preg expression for this
would be? I would also like a pointer to regex syntax, if someone knows
offhand.
Thanks

[PHP] Classes Constructor syntax
Hi all,
I am finally spending some time converting a million and one functions
into a class - this is for a software issue tracking system.
I have:
class issue {
var
var
...
function issue() { //default constructor
//initialise all variables to defaults, and start getting the stuff
from forms
}
function issue($number) { //1 variable constructor
// Query database and populate variables accordingly
}
}
My question is: will this work? does PHP OOP support more than one
constructor? If my syntax is wrong, please let me know the correct syntax.
Thanks

[PHP] Database and files
Hi all,
I have a database. It receives from my users files - which could be word
documents, Adobe PDF files, text docs, anything...
I store these in a BLOB field of the database.
On a certain page, I include a link to these files which have been saved
into the blob. The link is Document.
Now when people link to this (to go to gatattachment.php?fileid=65) the
getattachment does the following:
Finds out the attachment mime type
Sends a:
Header("Content-type: ");
Header("Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"File65.doc\"" );
Stream the contents of the blob to the browser.
Where the Attachment Filename changes depending on the fileid, and the mime
type (eg. Excel files would be xls)
Now when I click the link, I get garbled content on my browser (no matter
which browser i use - IE, Konqueror, Opera, etc). If I change the headers
to echos, teh I get teh correct results.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Re: [PHP] Database and files
Hi all,
Another bug bites the dust...
Thank you so much for your responses...
As for the DB/filesystem issue, we need to be able to easily replicate this
at some time to another server as the system may easily become a
distributed intranet system. We made the decision to use a database as this
is easier to move around - (Backup, copy, restore) (yes, yes I know about
tar/gz etc, but this seemed the easiest at the time.
I am using InterBase as a database backend (actually IBFirebird) as this is
a database system that we have been using extensively int eh office for a
while.
I think it was the uppercase/lowercase thing that bit me - (the
header("Header(" thing was a type, decided to copy/paste after typing
header("
Thanks again

[PHP] Header variables
Hi there, Each time I look at code from websites/etc, I notice a different set of headers that get sent to the browser. Amongst others, there are: location : content-type : content-disposition : attachment Is there anywhere where I can find a standard set of headers available to me? I had a look at the w3c site for this (briefly) but found a short (and seemingly incomplete) set of stuff. Anyone know of such a list?
