Re: Re: [PHP] reading txt file - certain lines
Yeah I do not really have the option to use a database here since the
way the data is output is limited to a text file.. the files are
populated by a program that takes the currently playing tracks out of
Itunes (mp3 player) on my mac.

Now what I want to do is read this file, but only say read 5 songs
worth, then I would place the PHP code in (another table) and display
the next 5 songs and so on This just allows for a more flexible
layout in the final presentation. the way I am having the text files
written, there is no way to get it to produce seperate text files -
otherwise this would be easy to do
Is this possible?
Yes, possible. Worth the time? No. Can you put all that info in a

[PHP] unexpected T_VARIABLE
Hi there, I am working with a script that I found online to export a
SQL statement (results) to an excel file., now everytime i run the
script, i get the error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
/var/www/html/siteadmin/mysql_export/export.php on line 11
Now the code that is located at (and around) that line is (I have
included the line numbers for reference):
10for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
11 $header .= mysql_field_name($result, $i)."\t";
12}
Now just in case you guys want to reference the entire script - I have
included it below:
//Written by Dan Zarrella. Some additional tweaks provided by JP
Honeywell
//pear excel package has support for fonts and formulas etc.. more
complicated
//this is good for quick table dumps (deliverables)
include('../../Connections/db_connection.php');
$result = mysql_query('select * from dealers', $linkID);
$count = mysql_num_fields($result);
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
$header .= mysql_field_name($result, $i)."\t";
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
$line = '';
foreach($row as $value){
if(!isset($value) || $value == ""){
$value = "\t";
}else{
# important to escape any quotes to preserve them in the data.
$value = str_replace('"', '""', $value);
# needed to encapsulate data in quotes because some data might be multi
line.
# the good news is that numbers remain numbers in Excel even though
quoted.
$value = '"' . $value . '"' . "\t";
}
$line .= $value;
}
$data .= trim($line)."\n";
}
# this line is needed because returns embedded in the data have "\r"
# and this looks like a "box character" in Excel
$data = str_replace("\r", "", $data);
# Nice to let someone know that the search came up empty.
# Otherwise only the column name headers will be output to Excel.
if ($data == "") {
$data = "\nno matching records found\n";
}
# This line will stream the file to the user rather than spray it
across the screen
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
# replace excelfile.xls with whatever you want the filename to default
to

header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
echo $header."\n".$data;

[PHP] dynamic image will not print properly
Hi there - I had my first crack at creating a dynamic image. The thing
is - the image is displayed fine in the browser, but when you go to
print it, the image is either missing, or part of it is missing. Is
there something special needed to print a dynamic image?
Here is a code snippet used to create the image
header("Content-type: image/jpg");
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("template_cpn.jpg");
$red = imagecolorallocate( $image, 255,0,0 );
imagestring($image, 2, 306, 200, $couponcode, $red);
imagestring($image, 2, 306, 235, $exp, $red);
imagestring($image, 2, 175, 338, $myname, $red);
imagestring($image, 2, 175, 360, $myemail, $red);
imagejpeg($image);
imagedestroy($image);
Now the way I have it set up, is that there is a PHP file that
generates the image (the above code). Then I have a parent PHP page
that calls that page like so:
$theurl = "cstl.php?dk=soemthinghere
echo "";
See any issues in my code or setup?
Any ideas?

What you did, *should* work just fine.
But we're talking *MICROSOFT* here!
These people do *NOT* follow standards. Period.
Here is a code snippet used to create the image
header("Content-type: image/jpg");
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("template_cpn.jpg");

imagestring($image, 2, 306, 200, $couponcode, $red);

that calls that page like so:
$theurl = "cstl.php?dk=soemthinghere
echo "";
See any issues in my code or setup?
Any ideas?
Here's what you do: You make it *IMPOSSIBLE* for Microsoft to screw
up.
This means you make your URL look JUST LIKE any other JPEG URL.
$theurl = "cstl/dk=somethinghere/whatever.jpg";
Step 1:
Add/Create an .htaccess file with this:
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
This forces Apache to treat the file named 'cstl' as a PHP script.
Step 2:
Rename cstl.php to just 'cstl' (see Step 1)
Step 3:
Instead of using $_GET['dk'] do this:
$pathinfo = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
$pathinfo = explode('/', $pathinfo);
//Key-Value pairs:
$_PATH = array();
//Path information buried in URL for source image sub-directories:
$PATH = array();
while (list(, $keyval) = each($pathinfo)){
$parts = explode('=', $keyval);
switch(count($parts)){
case 0: break; //do nothing with bogus extra '/' in URL
case 1: $PATH[] = $keyval;
default:
$key = $parts[0];
unset($parts[0]);
$_PATH[$key] = implode('=', $parts);
break;
}
}
Now you can use $_PATH['dk'] instead of $_GET['dk'] to get your dk
value
from the URL. You'll only change $_GET to $_PATH in cstl (formerly
cstl.php) and you're all set.
Now, there is *NO* *WAY* Microsoft can manage to screw up your URL and
decide that it must not be a JPEG because it has GET data, or ends in
.php
or whatever.
This same technique must be applied to PDF, FDF, SWF/Ming files if you
want to avoid a zillion MS IE bugs related to multi-media.
So you might as well put the code for $_PATH/$PATH in an include file.
I
guarantee you'll need it again and again as you use more and more
multi-media in your web-site.

[PHP] scripting workflow

I know functions and classes are good to keep in separate files, but i am talking about say for example a news system, etc. Next off, how about when actually assembling the files? Do you produce all of your html output, then say build all of your functions - then say build the logic? Does that make sense?

Re: [PHP] dynamic image will not print properly
I got it figured out finally!
It is so stupid with what the issue was...
My image was being created exactly as it should have been - and the
code was fine. Now where my issue was: I had a line of code in there
that was to prevent people from calling the script directly (had to be
referred from a particular page). Well IE did not like that for
printing. Even though the script acted exactly as it should have by
design. I saved the image to my desktop to test it, and when opening in
an image app - it would not even open (even though displaying fine in a
browser). So I changed the file ext of the downloaded file to that of a
text file and opened it... and what do you know - there was the error
my php script generates when the page is not called properly.
So I removed that line of code (completely irrelevant to the image
itself) And win/IE could print like all the other browsers could.
doh!

One thing I feel is important to point out before I keep banging my

In the URL parameter that is sent to the file, the url parameter is
just carrying text that is printed into the image. It is not actually
the image name, or anything. The image is generated in the cstl file
(which actually is the image - sends JPEG headers,etc) - with the text

Yup.
$_PATH['x'] for the items that look like this: .../x=42/
And $PATH (without the underscore) is a string concatenation of all
elements (after the PHP script) that look like this /whatever/
So you might use something like a PHP script named 'scale' and then:
http://example.com/scale/width=100/height=100/images/subdir/
bigpic.jpg
and then you know that you want to scale the image in your
images/subdir
naemd bigpic.jpg down to 100x100 at maximum.
You'll have:
$_PATH['width'] -> 100
$_PATH['height'] -> 100
$PATH = '/images/subdir/bigpic.jpg'

Now the way I have it set up, is that there is a PHP file that
generates the image (the above code). Then I have a parent PHP
page
that calls that page like so:
$theurl = "cstl.php?dk=soemthinghere
echo "";
See any issues in my code or setup?
Any ideas?
Here's what you do: You make it *IMPOSSIBLE* for Microsoft to
screw
up.
This means you make your URL look JUST LIKE any other JPEG URL.
$theurl = "cstl/dk=somethinghere/whatever.jpg";
Step 1:
Add/Create an .htaccess file with this:
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
This forces Apache to treat the file named 'cstl' as a PHP
script.
Step 2:
Rename cstl.php to just 'cstl' (see Step 1)
Step 3:
Instead of using $_GET['dk'] do this:
$pathinfo = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
$pathinfo = explode('/', $pathinfo);
//Key-Value pairs:
$_PATH = array();
//Path information buried in URL for source image
sub-directories:
$PATH = array();
while (list(, $keyval) = each($pathinfo)){
$parts = explode('=', $keyval);
switch(count($parts)){
case 0: break; //do nothing with bogus extra '/' in URL
case 1: $PAT

[PHP] learning classes - need pointer
Hi there - I am slowly converting all of my projects over to a OOP based structure with classes. Now I had a quick question. In my current case, I am trying to create all the generic SQL functions (IE insert, update, delete, etc). Now what I am wondering - what would be the best way to structure the code so that I can accommodate the possibilities for different fields and databases, etc? Is it something that I should just pass to the class? Or would there be a more efficient way to do it? d -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Should this not return true?!?!
Hi there (newbie here) - I have the following snippet of code..
$sexId = $_POST['sex'];
$fName = $_POST['fName'];
$lName = $_POST['lName'];
if ($status = $db->query("INSERT INTO names (nameId, sexId, fName,
lName) VALUES ('', $sexId, '$fName', '$lName')")) {
print "Your data was added to the database successfully!";
} else {
print "Your data could not be added to the database!";
}
Assuming my query was successful, should it not return true and print
the success message?
For some reason it is doing just the opposite. The data is added, but
it displays the error instead.
Am I misunderstanding something?

I gave it a go, and I got the error:
"Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}'"
This was on the last "}". Now I am brand new at php, but should there
not be an opening and closing curly bracket? in this code there are one
"{" and three "}"
So I made my code:
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
$fileName = str_replace('.mov', '', $file);
echo '' . $fileName .
'';
closedir($handle);
}
?>
And it does display the name in the menu... so that is a good start,
but the link doesn't work when selected. So I am assuming hte code does
need those brackets, and I rather need to open the opening one...

Now I figure - getting the file name in there would be pretty easy (for
the most part), but the thing is getting the dimensions of the movie in
there... as it is possible that not all movies are the same dimensions.

I know this is not your actual code, but did you actually run this? I

I did run it... that is the reason I posted. As I stated, When I view

What does print_r($_SERVER) show?
What does print $editFormAction show?
echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; shows the proper result.
print_r($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); shows the proper result
print $editFormAction ; shows the proper result
print "\n";
As you're not placing variables inside your print statement you might
as well
use single-quotes:
print ''."\n";
This does away with all the backslashes (which gives me a headache).
Well I changed it to:
print ''."\n";
and I still had the same result. the source of the page when viewed in
the browser was:
So as you can see the "$editFormAction" is still not being rendered. So
I am going to add the following info, I have a page that is required
once that contains my functions. and I defined a function to print out
this form. My code for that is:
// create subscribe form
function sub_form() {
print ''."\n";
print ''."\n";
print ''."\n";
print '';

So would my issue be that I formatted my function wrong? Or that the

Hi there, I am pretty new to writing classes (and pretty new to PHP
itself), but I was wondering what was the best format for constructing
classes. Now for example, i have written 2 versions of a class that
accomplish the exact same thing. And I was just wondering if there are
any advantages to either, or even if one was formatted more so to
standards. Just wanting to learn it the proper way from the get go. My
classes are formatted for use in flash remoting (hence the methodTable
stuff - you can ignore it). I guess my question refers more towards the
declaration of properties, etc.

[PHP] best flow for this project
ok, i have a project where: -a user adds their email address, name, etc to a database. -a responder sends an email to them to confirm their email address (within 72 hrs). -upon confirmation of their email address, a script will generate a store coupon with a random coupon id # in the browser (which they can print at that time). Now I guess my question relates more to the email confirmation. How would you go about this? Store it in a database? Every-time the script is run it also checks to see which requests are more than 72 hrs old and removes their request from the database? And those that are confirmed, a flag is added to the database so they are not removed? Just looking more for ideas on the script flow to accomplish this. Thanks!
