[PHP] PHP to replace javascript

2004-09-02 Thread Jack Gates
Greetings,

This is my first post here and I am still new to PHP and learning.  I just 
joined this list last night.

Javascript can open a separate and specifically sized window from a web page 
when a user clicks on a link that might reference a note or picture etc.

Can this be done with PHP?  If yes, will someone tell me where in the manual 
on the php.net site I can find the information to learn how to do this?

I have been looking through the manual on the site but without knowing the 
name or names of what I am looking for it is real hard to find it.

TIA,

Thanks for the response, it makes sense.  I already understand that PHP is 
server side code and Javascript is client side code. 

Last night I was tired when I sent this.

I knew I had seen a pop up window on a web site that I new was completely 
written in PHP and driven by MySQL.  The HTML output was done on the fly by 
the code and database, which prompted my question.

I went to the actual PHP script source since I have direct access to it.  The 
picture that was popping up when the link is picked is being done by 
Javascript embedded in the source PHP script.

Now it is a lot clearer that the window pop up can't be done with PHP.  If by 
chance my conclusion is wrong some one please enlighten me.

My objective here is to remove Javascript from my site every where that I 
possibly can and to replace it with server side code or something else.  The 
reason for this is simply because some people are going to turn off 
Javascript from their browser because of the danger that it could pose to 
their local box if they visit a site with evil intent.

[PHP] PHP site ?

2004-09-04 Thread Jack Gates
How is osCommerce doing this?

Go here to see exactly what I am talking about:

http://wiki.oscommerce.com/docs

I am using the REMOTE_ADDR but it does not provide all the information that 
osCommerce is showing.

When I use the variable it shows the numbers like 192.168.10.25 (I know this 
is an internal network address, it is just for example.)

osCommerce gets more than just the numbers, they get the name as well I think.

Thanks for any insight on what they might be doing.

[PHP] Does any one else get this?

Every time I post to the list, I get an undeliverable on the address below.  
Does any one else get this?

If this address is on the list can we get it removed?

To:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [PHP] PHP site ?

was undeliverable due to the following reason:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] - User doesn't exist or is inactive.

I replaced this:

$address = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

with this

$hostname = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

and now I am getting exactly what I was trying to get.

[PHP] PHP to execute hyperlink?

2004-09-14 Thread Jack Gates
I use an application that has a web browser engine built in and every time I 
open the app there is some code executing a hyperlink and pulling up a HTML 
page to a specific place on the page.  This action changes according to if it 
is AM or PM and the date.

Example: from 00:00 to 11:59 during the same day you will see the same 
starting place on the page any time this app is opened.  From 12:00 to 23:59 
during the same day you will see something different from the AM but it will 
be the same for the 12 hour time period.  The next day the AM section and the 
PM do the same thing but on a different place on the page.  Each day this 
behavior repeats but each day the place on the page is new.

The page that is called has name anchors through out the page.  It is these 
name anchors that are being called on the page.

I said all that to ask this.

I want to do the same thing using PHP script.  Can this be done?  I know PHP 
is server side script.

I am not sure which date/time function to use.  I assume that "if else" 
statements will be needed.  I don't know how to get PHP to execute the 
hyperlink when the page opens.

Basically the PHP code would execute something like this:

Get the current date and time, find the matching name anchor that reflects the 
current month and day and if it is AM or PM and then display the correct 
place on the page.

I am still learning PHP so this as been a little more than I can figure out 
right now.  Just trying to figure out how to use all the date time functions 
is confusing.  I do know how to use date() that one was easy to figure out.

I don't know if I should be using date() or getdate()

If I could figure out the start and end of the script I could probably figure 
this out.  I think the middle with the "if else" statements will be easy to 
figure out.

Every time I try to figure out these date time functions I get syntax errors.  
I can't figure out what the PHP manual says about these functions.

Any body have any ideas?

Thanks,

This is just to say that I never sent that to the list.  I sent it privately.  
So for you to send this to the list to say that I probably should not was not 
good either.  Because now the whole list has been bothered instead of just 
one.

No one is forcing you to use anything.  You made your own choice to use an 
older browser.

Chris,

Jochem just proved what I said earlier.

Every one has their own preference and some go so far as to claim that 
the ones they just don't like are evil.  That is why there are so 
many different flavors of Linux.  That is also what will continue to 
hold Linux back in the market place and allow the truly evil OS to 
hold there market share on the desktop.

[PHP] LAMP Experts Needed

2006-08-31 Thread Jack Gates
I am looking for some serious coders that want to make a name for 
themselves and/or a lot of money.

I need to talk to any one who is considered an Expert with any of 
these:

Linux
Apache
MySQL or PostgreSQL
PHP, Perl, Python
HTML
CSS
XML
XSL

I am going to convince my employer to replace a very expensive package 
that they are using right now.  This project will take several months 
to complete and then will be on going with a monthly maintenance and 
service.

If you have any interest at all and want to know the details contact 
me.  Send what you can and will do for this project to me at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  It is going to be a web interface interacting 
with a very large database.
