[PHP] IE title bug
Hello people I am making a movie browsing site. On one page I have a list of movies as links. When you click on the movie it goes to another page with the movie ID as an anchor in the page so that the browser scrolls to that movie. The title of the page is made up of the movie category name and the movie name. This all works fine in mozilla but in IE the title appears like this: Site Name - Category Name#3037#3037#3037#3037#3037#3037#3037#3037 Where #3037 is the ID of the movie and obviously appears at the end of the url. Looking at the source of the page the tag is fine and does not contain any id's (or it would appear in mozilla as well). Also the title appears ok to begin with - the page has flash thumbnails of the movies in and as each of these swf's load into the page another #3037 appears in the title. We are using the satay method of flash embedding as this is required by the client. Possibly it is something to do with that? Anyone seen anything like this before or have any suggestions?

RE: [PHP] IE title bug
It is actually a known bug in Flash with IE If you go here: http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/#globalnav you'll get #globalnav in the title 3 times as there are 3 flash players in the page! We are actually now not using anchors (I wasn't too happy about them anyway) so no longer have the problem. Thanks for the reply though.

Do you happen to be using any kind of javascript or vbscript in your source that does any kind of "application.caption" or "window.title" or anything like that? I've used "Application.Caption" in VBA within Excel to update the title of a window so I could get a quick and dirty status of something being processed and I've seen odd things happen with that. If your HTML tag looks ok, I'd try to look into any application. Or window. Stuff in Javascript or VBScript or some other browser based scripting stuff.

[PHP] escaping quotes
Hi Guys
Really simple question. How do I change the following:
print("value='" . $attributes["messageSubject"] . "'");
to have double quotes around the subject field instead. i.e.:
print("value="" . $attributes["messageSubject"] . """);
thanks

Thanks, that works great.
Knew that worked for JavaScript but didn't know it worked for PHP.

Slight typo there:

[PHP] dba_open, dba_popen, caches, not closing database, etc..
Hi People, I'm having problems with the dba extension. An application I've written using db2 is working beautifully on my machine, but due to various reasons, the machine it's supposed to work on can have anything but db2 as the database backend. I've tried gdbm, ndbm and db3, and they all have the same problem - if I've just written to the database, I can't open it again for about 5 minutes - the php page just prints the "Warning: driver initialization failed in blahblah.php" error. After leaving it for a while, it starts working again. I've abstracted the database through a class, which opens the database and syncs all writes, but it doesn't automatically close it (without the use of a destructor, there isn't anywhere I could sensibly put code to do it). I've tried dba_open and dba_popen, and both demonstrate the same problem. Anybody got any tips for this? -- Giles Constant, Systems Programmer Hyperlink Interactive http://www.hyperlink-interactive.co.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] blank function parameters
Hello If I defined a function with 4 parameters but only pass 3 I get an error. Is there anyway around this? I want to be able to set the missing parameter to a default value if it is not passed which works ok but How do I get rid of the error message? Thanks Giles Roadnight http://giles.roadnight.name

isset(null) evaluates to false...

[PHP] help with fopen path
Hi All I'm developing a fusebox PHP app and have a class in a /classes directory that opens an xml file in a directory below the site root using this path: "../siteconfig.xml" All of the places I have used this class from so far have been in the site root. I am now starting some pages in a sub directory. When I use this class it says it can't open the file. I have tried "../../siteconfig.xml" instead but it doesn't work either. What's the best way to go about fixing this? I'm quite new to php and I'm not sure where the relative path is taken from - i.e. is it the index.php page or the class (obviously not) or my switch file or what? Hope someone can help.
