[PHP] Separating HTML code from PHP code
Hi all, i am building a system using php and am trying to separate the html codes from the php codes (i.e. placing them in separate files), I am from the java struts/spring background and seem to be finding it difficult doing that at the moment with php. I've got a registration form in html with the action pointing to a separate php file that will process the form when submitted. when i want to output errors or messages, its currently being outputed in the resulting code generated by the php file. What i would like is to return to the html page and display the messages there. Can someone help me with ways of doing this pls ? Cheers - Expecting? Get great news right away with email Auto-Check.

I am reading the following xml data in a very large file using XML reader, the xml structure looks like the xample given below head tail head part head 1 Part head 2 tail head tail head part head 1 Part head 2 tail I can read all elements apart from the sub elements under and am kind of looking for a way to read these sub elements. I am using the code structure below $reader = new XMLReader(); $reader->open($feedUrl); while($reader->read()) { switch($reader->nodeType) { case(XMLREADER::ELEMENT): if($reader->localName == "engine") { echo $reader->value; } if($reader->localName == "brake") { echo $reader->value; } if($reader->localName == "tires") { echo $reader->value; //I FIGURE OUT THAT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO READ THE SUB ELEMENTS HERE BUT TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT } } } Any thoughts ?

[PHP] Store database password outside of public_html folder
Hi All, I've been reading on the internet that is most secure to store your database details outside of the public accessible folder. I am a bit stuck on how to do this. I've got a folder "db_details" that contains the file "dbdetails" which contains the database login info. I normally include this file in any page requiring database connectivity e.g. include_once("db_details/dbdetails.php") How can I now set this up so that the folder/files for the database are stored outside of the public_html folder ? thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Need help detecting attached files
Hi, I'm using a mailer class that allows for external file attachments. I was using the test: if ($HTTP_POST_FILES[$val]['size']) { Which worked fine. However, I wanted something more generic that works for POST or GET so I wrote the following code: $request = 'HTTP_' . getenv('REQUEST_METHOD') . '_VARS'; global $$request; if ($$request[$val]['size']) { However, it is always failing the test and therefore not working. Any ideas? Thanks, Don --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

[PHP] Question about using session and "logging out"
Hi, I have an application that uses sessions to allow customers to access a restricted area. That is, they are prompted for a user login and password. I then use sessions to track each customer. At the top of each page, I have placed the following PHP code: session_cache_limiter('Cache-control: private'); session_start(); Everything works fine. However, I have a logout link that when clicked, runs the following PHP code (where userid is the login name): session_cache_limiter('nocache'); if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['userid'])) { $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['userid'] = ''; session_unregister($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['userid']); } session_unset(); session_destroy(); Header('Location: ' . 'http://www.lclnav.com' . $globals->relative_path . 'customerlogin_standard.html'); I think the above is all that is needed to end the session. I use the Header() function to take the user back to the login page. Here is my question: Once I click on the "logout" link and am taken back to the main login page, I can click on the browser BACK button and still get my previous page 'as if I was still logged in'. Please note that clicking on REFRESH tells me that I am not really logged in. I know that browsers cache pages and there may not be anything I can do, however, I have seen sites that seem to work around this; i.e.., clicking on the back button loads a pages telling the user that they are no longer logged in. This is what I want to emulate. Is there a PHP method to always force a reload the first time a page is called? Thanks, Don --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Ok. I seemed to have solved the problem but it seemed really dumb to me. I did a "curl -version" from teh command prompt and it outputed 7.10.3 BUT, when I looked at the "curl-config" file, it specified the following for the --version section: --version) echo libcurl 7.9.5 exit 0 ;; So, all I did was change the 7.9.5 to 7.10.3 and no more compile error.

[PHP] Problem with PHP and MySQl after install
1) Installed MySQL 4.0.12 2) Installed PHP 4.3.1 One of my config options was --with-mysql=shared,/usr 3) added the following to /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so /usr/lib/mysql 4) When I try to run phpmyadmin, I get the following error: cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration. 5) Looking at the explanation of the errro still leaves me baffled on how to proceed: [1.20] I receive the error "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration". To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP server (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed. What was I missing fom my install that is causing my problem?

Re: [PHP] Problem with PHP and MySQl after install
Hmmm...well the php libraries indicate that it is PHP 4 which is what I had originally (upgraded from 4.1.x to 4.3.1). I did use the "i386-redhat'linux" configuration option. I am using the "--with-mysql=shared/usr" option. Following your point below, I did a search on all instances of 'mysql' and found the following.

[PHP] Can I set the value of variable depending on when the page is loaded?
Hi, I have a an HTML page containing a form used to search my website. The form has a drop-down menu with two choices. When the submit button is clicked, I call a PHP page which look at the value of the drop down menu selection and redirects to the appropriate form handler. Basically, my PHP file creates a form called 'searchform' and creates it dynamically based on the vale of my drop down menu field passed from the calling page. I just use the following JavaScript to redirect: echo "\n"; echo "setTimeout('document.searchform.submit()',0);\n"; echo "\n"; My problem is, when the user clicks the BACK button on their browser, it will just redirect back to the search results page. I'd like it to take them back to the original page. I'm thinking that if I could reset the value of the drop-down menu field, I can just use: echo "\n"; But, how can I tell where the user is coming from? I've seen these types of searches before so maybe someone can clue me in? Thanks, Don

[PHP] Accessing variables from a form
Hi, I'm in a quandary here. I have a form which contains sever tables each containing similar fields. The number of tables are dynamic based on vales I retrieve from a database. Each table has the following fields: $name $phone $fax In order to differentiate the filed names in my form, I created a loop and extended each field name with the loop iteration as such ($rownum is my loop counter): " " " So I would have field variables of: $name1, $name2, $name3, ... $phone1, $phone2, $phone3, ... $fax1, $fax2, $fax3, ... So far so good as I have verified that these fields exist. Now, when the user clicks on the submit button, the form data gets posted to a PHP script. I wish to access the variables but here I am at a loss. I attempted the following code without success ($rownum is the number of tables I created): for ($i = 1; $i <= $rownum; $i++) { $field = "phone" . $i; $name =& $field; echo $field . ":" . $name . "\n"; } The docs state that references are NOT pointers. So., how can I access my variables? I could not find any information on Macros or Pointers.

[PHP] forms and databases usinh PHP
Hello, Has anyone run into problems using PHP to access a database (MySQL) and build a form. I am trying to build a form that contains anywhere from 10 to 20 tables. Each table will contain drop down menus, text boxes and text areas. As you may envision, this form can be quite lengthy. I populate the form by creating a loop and accessing the MySQL database. Each iteration returns data (24 fields) from a record in my Database table). My problem is that after loading the page, my browser appears to lock up and any attempt to run other programs gives me a Windows Low Memory error (and that I should close other programs). Note: Third may not be a PHP problem but as I am unsure, I have to start somewhere. Note2: I have already queried the HTML newsgroup and the feedback I received was that large forms should not cause this problem.

As I've thought about it more, I realize that I have no control over the exact number of tables that will exist in my form and hence, the total number items on the form. Reason being that this is dynamic and based on vales returned from a database. Expecting my clients to have the necessary hardware / memory in order to use it is ridiculous. So, I am logically breaking it into two screen, one with the subject of each table linked that the client can 'click'. The other, a generic form that will retrieve values based on the subject clicked on the previous page. I guess you can call it "normalizing" my form. By the way, say that each subject link is a numeric string, will my second page have access to that string, i.e., can I pass it as a parameter in my tag? The first page will be PHP generated while the second will be HTML with a PHP script to access the database and build my form. I have not found any documentation on how to do this on the HTML docs so I was wondering if there is a trick to this.

[PHP] passing variables from one form to another
Hi, I have a PHP script (script_one.php) that creates a small form containing a table of links. In my script I declare an array, $myarray[$total_links], of the same size as the number of links. Each link is coded as such: This way, I pass the both the value of my array at elemnt "i" and which element I am accessing to my second script. This second script opens a new window and creates another small form with an input field. I allow the user to enter information into an text field and close the window. Question: How do I pass the results of that information back to my original script and stuff it into the array at the element chosen?

[PHP] How do I display variables in text boxes when the value of a drop down menu changes?
Hi, I have a PHP script that displays a form. On one section of the form, there is a drop down menu followed by a few text boxes. I'd like to alter the values of the text boxes when the user changes the selection in the dropdown menu. What I've done is create 10 arrays (the drop down menu has 10 items hence one array per item). Each time the user changes the selection in the drop down menu, I figure I'd: a) save the current variables to the array corfresponding to the old selection b) fill the text boxes with vales of the array corresponding to the new selection Is this possible using PHP? I figure that since PHP is server side, I will have to use JavaScript to provide some of the functionality I require but how do I set and access PHP variables from JavaScript? If the above is not workable, Is there another way I can accomplish this? Thanks in advance, Don
[PHP] Confused about which function to use with forms/database
Hi, I have forms that retrieve date from mysql databases and send (for storage) data to same databases. I note many functions to make sure that the data is correct in appearance when it comes to special characters. addslashes() stripslashes() htmlspecialchars() htmlentities() get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES) I've read the documentation but am still confused about what to use when. When passing data from forms to database, which do I use? When retrieving data from database to display in forms, which do I use? Thanks, Don
[PHP] Problem displaying certain text from a form on to the browser
Hi, On my form, I have a text area. I was doing some testing and on one line, I entered the following: When I looked at the results pages sent to the browser, that line was missing. I think that the "<" character is the culprit. I've tried stripslashes() and htmlentities() but I cannot get that line to appear on the browser. Any ideas? Thanks, Don

[PHP] Reading lines from a CSV file
Hi, I have a comma delimited text file composed of many rows of text. I've been looking at the PHP documentation for file system functions but cannot see a way to read a file row by row. Each row may be different byte length. How do I read only a row and have the file pointer at the start of the next row so I can read it, etc... until eof? Thanks, Don
[PHP] How do I read a tab delimited file?
Hi, I have a tab delimited file consisting of several lines, one record per line that I have to process. I don't see a function similar to "fgetcsv" for TABS so I've used the "file" function to read the whole file into an array, one line per array element. So far so good. Now I have to process each line and extract the fields. My question is, how do I search for the TAB character? Is it as simple as searching on the ascii code by using the "chr" function? If so, what value do I use in "chr" to look for TAB? Thanks, Don
[PHP] PHP and permissions
Hi, I have a question about how PHP runs. I have a file on my FreeBSD server that is owned by another user but is the same group as myself. The file has read/write permissions for the user only. Therefore, when I log onto the server I cannot read or write to the file. In fact, I can not even FTP it. The funny thing is, I wrote a PHP script to read the file (it's actually a CSV file) into an array using the function fgetcsv and display the values within the browser. This worked. So my question is, what user is PHP run under that allows me to access another user's file (but the same group)? Thanks, Don
Re: [PHP] PHP and permissions
I did. That's why I'm confused. phpinfo() is telling me that the user is myself (I don't see the group).

[PHP] Problem redirecting
Hi, I have a form which when submitted, calls an html page which contains PHP code. Within that code, I wish to redirect my users to another page under certain conditions. So, in my code, I have the following lines: Header( "Location:http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html";); exit; However, when the above is run, I get the following error generated: Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/htdocs/mypage.html:7) in ../phpscript/general/formmail.php on line 100 Does anyone know what this error means? hanks, Don
[PHP] separating lines in a text area field
Hi, I've look at the PHP Faq, poked around the www.php.net site and searched the mailing list archive but could not come up with an answer. However, I'm sure this question has been asked before on more than one occasion. I have a form that calls a PHP function which sends the contents off as an e-mail. Within the form, I have a text area field. My e-mail looks like: field1 = value1 field2 = value2 etc... For the text area field, it does NOT wrap the lines but puts everything on one line. Is there a PHP routine that can split the lines in a textarea object? Does this depend on whether the machine is Windows or UNIX? If so, is there a system independent routine? Thanks, Don

[PHP] Using urlencode to pass varfiables in a URL

[PHP] How do I pass variables from a PHP script to an HTML document?
Hi, I currently have a form that calls a PHP script when submit is pressed. Within the PHP script, I wish to call a custom confirmation screen. I do so by issuing the following command: Header("Location: " . $form["redirect"]); Now, I wanted my form variables passed from the PHP script to my HTML document so I wrote a function within the form that adds the variable names and values to the URL by urlencoing them like such: $output = "?"; $output .= urlencode($key) . "=" . urlencode(stripslashes($val)) . "&"; returning the above in a variable $vars, I call my redirect as such: Header("Location: " . $form["redirect"] . $vars); If I am not mistaken, this is synonymous with an HTTP GET? Here is my problem; the above fails with a large form, i.e., a form containing many fields. A bit of investigation has determined that there is a 1Kb limit on the total size of a request (URL+params) and I have one form that must be exceeding the limit. Question: Is there a way to emulate my above scheme via an HTTP POST as POST has no limit? Alternatively, is there another way to pass variables from a PHP script to a HTML form where I won't run into this limit? Thanks, Don
[PHP] Using HEADER to redirect
Hi, I have a PHP script that uses the following code to redirect to a page of the user's choice: header("Location: http://www.mypage.net/";); In examples of this type of coding in various scriots, the above line is always followed by the statement: exit; I am wondering why. When executing a Header("Location"); statement, does control return to the PHP script after execution? In that case, I assume that the exit; statement is there in order to terminate the php script. In that event, can I execute code within my script after calling the Header("Location") page?

[PHP] emailing the contents of a form in PDF format
Hi, This may be beyond the scope of this list but if I don't ask, I'll never know :) I have a form page with a button at the bottom. When the user clicks on the button, I wish the following to happen: 1) Prompt the user for a target e-mail address. 2) Create a PDF document from the form fields on the current page (I wish to specify the design of the form) and e-mail it to the e-mail address gathered form (1). I'm hoping there's either a module or two that can accomplish this or perhaps, someone has already gone through the hassle and would be willing to share. Otherwise, some pointers to head me in the correct direction would be appreciated.

[PHP] PHP and push buttons
Hi, How do I make a Push Button call a PHP script? This is not a POST operation per say as I already have "Submit" and "Reset" buttons. What I'd like is to have my third button call a PHP script and process all the form data in an alternative manner to what the "Submit" does. As a FORM tag can only have one POST operation, I'm in a quandary here.
