Re: [PHP] File handling
I've got this coed but it still don't do the business:
$MESSAGE_FILE="foobar.txt";
$handle=fopen("$MESSAGE_FILE","w");
$sizez= sizeof($handle);
$string= 'foo';
while ( fgets($handle,$sisez)
{ fputs($handle,$sizez);
if (strstr($handle,$string)){
break;
}
}
Any ideas?

Hi php'ers,
I have learnt alot in the last week in regards to php and listing the
rows of a table set.
I need help with a small challenge. I can retrieve rows from a database
table and list the results in HTML cell successfully. My challenge
is this.
I want to list the I.D (auto increment id number) of a data base table
in html to display 7 columns accross and then drop down to the next row
and another 7 columns accross.
So the result would list numbers .1-7 then drop down and list 8-14
underneath and so in until the end of the results.
Is this at all possible?? Difficult??
Is there a project or a tutorial with an example I can draw from.??
Cheers

[PHP] max array size question..
I'm trying to read in a text file that has 42620 lines. Each line has
zip code information separated by commas. I have no problem reading the
file into an array. But when I try and read each element in the array
and put it into another array I get a "500 server error". The second to
last line is what's causing the problem.
After doing some debugging I found out that at around iteration 18000 is
when the server error occurs. Any ideas? I know I should use a
database, but i'm intrigued by this problem.
Here's the code that does the work...
# read the file in, each line in the file is it's own element in the
array
$lineArray = file( "zips.txt" );
# initialize variable, showing that there's nothing in $ZIPS
$ZIPS = array();
# iterate through each element in the array, foreach() is probably
cleaner
for($i = 0; $i < count($lineArray); $i++ ) {
# set variable
$value = $lineArray[ $i ];
# set $tempArray to a new array
$tempArray = array();
# convert the line into an array
$tempArray = explode( ",", $value );
# add the line to the array in the format
# $ZIPS[ "zip code" ] = array( "zip code", "state", "city", "lat",
"long" )
$ZIPS[ $tempArray[ 0 ] ] = $tempArray;
}
Thanks in advance.

RE: [PHP] site root variable (for Generic Unix and Windows)
Agreed - use absolute paths - but DONT include the protocol://server Best is: Not so good is: Don't do this http://www.mine.com/admin/mypage> ^^^ You don't want your dev site linking to unreleased pages in production etc. I wanted relative, but after probs with web design tools, php and having loads of sites to maintain I eventually had to bite the bullet and now use absolute paths for all links. There are too many gotchas balancing a tree of relative links. Note that w3, recommend NOT include the file type in the link. Let the server choose it for you: e.g. is better than than etc. A nice side effect is that you can start with static holding .html pages and transparently substitute them, a page at a time to smarter .php as you get the coding done.

[PHP] register_globals and passing variables
Ok, all I am new to PHP & MySQL. (please don't let this scare you off)
I had my site hosted with Gisol.com and due to their very poor service and
tech support I left them for Lunarpages.com who so far have a better service
and their tech support is excellent!! But my pages won't pass variables any
more.
When I started I purchased two books MySQL and PHP & MySQL both published by
O'Riely. So far the are excellent help and instructors. I wote some pages
where I track users and their characters from an on-line game called World
of Warcraft.
On the Gisol server they were working EXCELLENT!!
Once I moved to Lunarpages, the pages load ok but they don't pass the
variables from one page to another.
The below code queries the db and list's the user's in a table, and has a
hyperlink to the right of each, on Gisol I could click the link and it would
load the view_char.php page and it listed their character and the info i
needed, and gave options to delete and edit. Again it was working
beautifully.
VIEW USERS PAGE CODE:
$sql="SELECT f_name, l_name, char_id, char_name, char_level FROM t_char,
t_users where t_users.user_id = t_char.user_link ORDER BY char_name ASC";
mysql_select_db($db_select,$db);
$result = mysql_query($sql,$db);
echo "";
echo"Character NameCharacter
LevelOwner";
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo
"".$myrow["char_name"]."".$myrow["char_level"]."".$myrow["f_name"]."
".$myrow["l_name"];
echo "View";
}
//$charid="[.$myrow["char_id"].]"; <- I tried this line with no success.
Possibly have it in the wrong place??
echo"";
VIEW_CHAR PAGE CODE
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `t_char` WHERE `t_char`.`char_id` = '$charid'"; <--
now all this does is produce a blank page... used to work great!
//$sql = "SELECT * FROM `t_char` WHERE `t_char`.`char_id` = '21'"; <- i
used this code to test the page w/o the $charid string and it works FINE!!
$result=mysql_query( $sql );
if (!$result)
{
die("Could not query the database: ".mysql_error());
}
I wrote a help ticket to Lunarpages where I am now hosted and asked them to
set the register_globals to ON thinking this was the problem based on what
I've read and the wrote back and told me that they use suPHP to parse php
files and I have the option of using custom php.ini files. That I could
create a .htaccess file or put individual php.ini files in the folder that
contains the files im running. In other words do it myself.
So I created this file:
[PHP]
register_globals = on
named it php.ini and dropped it in the folder with all of my files.
It didn't help any.
So I added this line to the first file
include ('php.ini');
all it does is add :[PHP] register_globals = on as text at the top of my
page now.
At this point im lost!! I don't know what to do to get my A
href=\"view_char.php?charid=".$myrow["char_id"]." to equal $charid in the
following pages.
Any help you could provide me would GREATLY be APPRECIATED!!!

hyperlink to the right of each, on Gisol I could click the link and it would
load the view_char.php page and it listed their character and the info i
needed, and gave options to delete and edit. Again it was working
beautifully.
VIEW USERS PAGE CODE:
$sql="SELECT f_name, l_name, char_id, char_name, char_level FROM t_char,
t_users where t_users.user_id = t_char.user_link ORDER BY char_name ASC";
mysql_select_db($db_select,$db);
$result = mysql_query($sql,$db);
echo "";
echo"Character NameCharacter
LevelOwner";
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo
"".$myrow["char_name"]."".$myrow["char_level"]."".$myrow["f_name"]."
".$myrow["l_name"];
echo "View";
}
//$charid="[.$myrow["char_id"].]"; <- I tried this line with no success.
Possibly have it in the wrong place??
echo"";
VIEW_CHAR PAGE CODE
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `t_char` WHERE `t_char`.`char_id` = '$charid'"; <--
now all this does is produce a blank page... used to work great!
//$sql = "SELECT * FROM `t_char` WHERE `t_char`.`char_id` = '21'"; <- i
used this code to test the page w/o the $charid string and it works FINE!!
$result=mysql_query( $sql );
if (!$result)
{
die("Could not query the database: ".mysql_error());
}
I wrote a help ticket to Lunarpages where I am now hosted and asked them to
set the register_globals to ON thinking this was the problem based on what
I've read and the wrote back and told me that they use suPHP to parse php
files and I have the option of using custom php.ini files. That I could
create a .htaccess file or put individual php.ini files in the folder that
contains the files im running. In other words do it myself.

[PHP] Getting last record ID created from DB
Is there a way to get the last Record # created by the DB.
Example:
User_ID = auto_increment
f_name = varchar
l_name = varchar
e-mail = varchar
b_date = varchar
pic = varchar
Since user_id is an auto_inc field I submit it as a NULL, also I haven't
started the code for a picture yet either so I have it set to NULL at this
moment.
My code is:
$query = "INSERT INTO `t_users` (`user_id`, `f_name`, `l_name`, `e_mail`,
`b_date`, `pic`) VALUES ('', '$f_name', '$l_name', '$e_mail', '$b_date',
'')";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(!$result)
{
die("Could not query the database: ".mysql_error());
}
echo "Your Player information has been stored OK.";
what code could I add here to make the following line work?
echo "REMEMBER your USER ID# you will need it when creating Characters!! It
is: $user_id"; <- I want to show the "user_id" just created here.
Thanks in advance!

[PHP] Passing variables
I want to thank you all for clearing me up on setting the register_globals to ON issue!! I have refrained from doing so and my code is running great with the $_GET. I am having NO trouble passing my "single" variable to the next page using.. echo "Edit"; as when the next page that load actually shows the character info, so basically you can see you are dealing with the correct record. NOW. I want to pass two variables to a delete page. The charid and the char name. Here is what I have but it will only pass the 1st variable ?charid echo "Delete"; I get the 1st variable using the $charid = (int)$_GET['charid']; (on the next page) I do however NOT get $charname = $_GET["char"] to pull the name out. (on the next page) I've tried putting a comma, a &, a % between the variables ie.. echo "Delete"; but it just won't let me pull the $_GET["char"] I have even tried $_GET['char'] but am under the impression '_' are for integers and "_" are for text? Anyway, can someone please let me know the PROPER way to pass the two or more variables?

[PHP] Intermittent PHP operation
Hello all... I am new to php and the news group so sorry if I don't provide all of the info you need. Just ask and I will post more. My question is this... it appears like my php is operating intermittently when connecting to mysql. I have the die statements in my connection code... but the string contained within the die() function is not being shown by the web browser (if in fact the die() function is what is being called, I don't really know)... where then does it get displayed? Why is it that I have to click the refresh button several times to get my pages to load the way they are supposed to load? Lastly... am I testing my web page code the totally wrong way?

[PHP] Coding...
I am pretty new with PHP, but what I've learned in the last 3 weeks is pretty good I think so far! What I'm looking to do is create a login script, and have people being able to login. Now, I have pulled scripts from sites, and everything is working okay. But the problem I have with pulling scripts from other sites, is that the mysql databases are all different. How can I import from one database into the other, so basically all the databases are merged into one main? I also know that each PHP file has to be re-done and look for the new database name, for instance if it was user_name, and the default (Main) database is username .. That I Have to rename all the php files that have user_name to simply username. If anyone is willing to help out with the project I'm working on with another programmer?

[PHP] phplib phplib-7.2b is severely inconsistent
Can anyone explain this? I thought phplib was supposed to
provide a consistent interface to databases. If you depend
on the mysql and pgsql layers to work the same you are
screwed. Their connect method inconsistency is pathetic.
One function returns a value and the other does not. This
code is straight from "phplib-7.2b" If you don't believe me
download it yourself.
There are also other differences. Member var
"Halt_On_Error" exists in db_mysql but not db_pgsql. There
is no good reason for this inconsistency.

Re: [PHP] formating numbers & date
worked great...
the other method may be a little quicker, but this code is easier for me to
understand, and although it is used in a loop there really is no visible
difference in how quickly it displays.

[PHP] Allowed memory size exhausted
I have a large amount of data (1,948,280 bytes) that I tried to write out to a file
using
if ($fp = fopen($file,"w")):
fwrite($fp,$contents,strlen($contents));
fclose($fp);
endif;
and got "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 1948281 bytes)" on the 2nd line. So, I tried to write out smaller portions
with:
if ($fp = fopen($file,"w")):
$size = 4096;
while (strlen($contents)){
$temp = substr($contents,0,$size);
fwrite($fp,$temp,$size);
$contents = substr($contents,$size+1);
}
fclose($fp);
endif;
but get a similar error on the line "$contents = substr($contents,$size+1);" which is
what I'm using to try to avoid running out of memory. It appears that I can't replace
the variable with a smaller version of itself.
So, if I can't write out the whole thing and can't section it either, what can I do?

[PHP] imap_open with port other than 110
We're trying to use imap_open to access a pop3 server which is using port 120 instead
of 110. We know the port and pop3 server are working because we can access it from
Outlook.
$pop_inbox = imap_open("{".$mailserver."/$mailbox_type:$port}",$login,$password);
The code worked fine with port 110 but now it can't open a stream. I've tried it with
"INBOX", putting the port next to the mailserver, etc. but nothing works when the port
isn't 110.
I'd appreciate any ideas. Thanks,

[PHP] Problems getting PHP to work (IIS5/XP Pro)
Now I tried this on the Windows list but didn't get any replies. I also found an old thread on another site that Rasmus had replied to and I tried that suggestion but no luck. I just ran the PHP installer and it set it up as a cgi I guess. I'd do the other way if I could find complete instructions. I tried the ones in the file included with the zip but it gave another error. I don't understand why I'm having issues, I installed PHP 4.1 and below just fine in this very same set up. However, I am receiving the following error: No input file specified. I have tried some of the suggested methods of fixing this but have not been able to solve it. Does anyone have a link or some info on how to fix this? Jeff

[PHP] query join 2 databases? or match up arrays?
ok - here's my problem. I have some data in mysql, and other data in informix. here is my application. this is for distributors of prepaid phone cards. prepaid phone cards have 3 numbers they can be identified by pin number (which is unique), or by batch & serial number. the batch number is basically the type of card, and the serial number & batch number for another unique identifier when used together. now - a batch can be given to several different distributors. therefore, when then are pulling various types of information on the batch they should only be able to see it for their cards, and not all of the cards in the batch. piece of cake right? well - the permissions information is kept in mysql, and the batch information its self is kept in an informix database. there is no way around this for me. the only way I can think of to work around this problem is to query 1 card at a time, and sum the info etc. together. however, there could be 400,000+ records, and this would be a slow tedious process. plus for each card I'd have to query the mysql database for permissions, and then in turn query the informix database in turn. this could take a long time to display the webpage. clear as mud??? recommendations? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: query join 2 databases? or match up arrays?
well - the informix database will be running on another server (a telecom billing system). this is a web based front end, and I really want to leave the other system alone 100%. if I were to modify anything I would make the mysql permissions table inside of informix, but there are liability reason which would keep me from doing so. still - you bring up an interesting point. a php script file that ran on crontab may not be a bad answer. however, again I would run into a problem of volume. there are an average of 3-4 million card in the informix server so I couldn't do this in a export & import. too may records, and info has to be accurate within 15 minutes. shear volume I believe is going to kill that idea. I would be back to 1 record at a time running every 15 minutes. I would think too much load, and more practical to do it 1 record at a time upon request which won't be too frequent. hoping there's another solution I'm not aware of, or over looked.

[PHP] Re: query join 2 databases? or match up arrays?
actually - I believe that may be a workable solution. you were mentioning checking the timestamp on a mysql table. how would I check the timestamp on a mysql table? even with this I'm betting it would be more time consuming to create the table then it would to pull the info from informix, and process validation 1 record at a time from mysql. that would be a simple query instead of an insert. this would also all take place on the server it's self instead of pulling it from another server. I could load it up with ram & let it run. at any rate that gives me a lot of option to think about, and I'll probably has to work with some samples of the stuff from here to see what way is going to be the fastest. it would probably depend if the user was pulling this info in a session. if it was once, or several times. all something to think about. the other option I'm thinking about is just not giving the distributors access to this information, but restricting it to users with permissions to the entire batch only. thanks, Jeff "Philip Hallstrom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Hmm... what about querying the informix database for the set of rows you > want all at once, putting that into a temporary mysql table with a > timestamp and then doing the rest of your work from there. > > Then the next time it happens check the timestamp on that mysql table and > if it's out of date, delete it and go and fetch updated rows from > informix, otherwise just use what's in that mysql table. > > This would act as a sort of replicated table, but only taking into account > the records that are actually being hit... > > maybe? > > On Fri, 3 Jan 2003, Jeff Bluemel wrote: > > > well - the informix database will be running on another server (a telecom > > billing system). this is a web based front end, and I really want to leave > > the other system alone 100%. if I were to modify anything I would make the > > mysql permissions table inside of informix, but there are liability reason > > which would keep me from doing so. > > > > still - you bring up an interesting point. a php script file that ran on > > crontab may not be a bad answer. however, again I would run into a problem > > of volume. there are an average of 3-4 million card in the informix server > > so I couldn't do this in a export & import. too may records, and info has > > to be accurate within 15 minutes. shear volume I believe is going to kill > > that idea.

[PHP] Re: query join 2 databases? or match up arrays?
I'll have to play with this. this is not a public website per say so multiple requests on this in a short period of time probably isn't going to be an issue. I'll have to look at this & decide how I want to do this. I'm assuming I either need to do away with this, or make both options selectable. this isn't a released product so if they didn't get the access to this feature it wouldn't be the end of the world. they are already getting a ton more features with this product then they would otherwise have, which is nothing.

[PHP] Bit of a logical question (what values to use for a graph)
I am creating a graph using jpgraph and it is based on values grabbed every 15 minutes. So for the first graph I want to report the values for the last 24 hours. Would it make sense to report 96 points or what is everyones suggestion? The time is stored as a Unix timestamp...the values are server loads.

[PHP] Function to catch all mySQL errors?
I know that mySQL errors are caught in mysql_error() and I find that
function extremely useful (kudos!). However, I have several queries in a few
scripts of mine but am wondering if anyone has written a small function that
catches errors and outputs them. What I mean is lets say I have a block of
code like so:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT field1, field2 FROM users WHERE userLogin =
'$authusername' AND userPassword = '$authpassword'");
Instead of a small loop under my query that is like so:
if (mysql_error()) {
echo "Error: ".mysql_error();
exit;
}
I'd like to be able to call a function that does this instead of adding this
if statement after all my queries...so...anyone do something similar?

[PHP] anyway to do a 'whos online' from session variable?
when a user logs into my system I set a variable $_SESSION['username']. now, every page somebody pulls up it revalidates their login so somebody cannot get into the backend of the system. now - is there a way I can make a utility that will show me the session username's that are in use? it would be useful to be able to know who's currently online. this is a website that will not be published, and is used for a VERY limited number of people.

[PHP] Looping through directories?
Currently I have a script that reads an index file and from that index file it then
loops through all files in that directory based on the index.
Instead of one directory now I have several and I want to loop through each directory
and go to each directory's index file. Since there is no pattern for the name if the
indexes, I assume I need to create an array holding the directory name and the
associated index file name like so $dirs = array("Sports" => "spindex.xml", "Business
News" => "business.xml") etc
Now, I need help with the loop to whip through each directory. Would I do a foreach on
the array I just created? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to be able to
access both the directory name and index name.

Re: [PHP] anyway to do a 'whos online' from session variable?
ok - let me take that a step further - if I store the SID in the table also are the files in the /tmp directory stored with the SID? if they are this may be a way I can delete out inactive session, but be able to allow extended inactive sessions for users who may be pulling lengthy reports...

[PHP] imap_open failure
I'm using imap_open in PHP 4.3.0 to successfully access every pop server I've tried -
except 1: "mail.fea.net". I know the mail server, port, login, and password are
correct because I can successfully log into the pop server with both telnet and
Outlook.
Here's the code:
if ($pop_inbox =
imap_open("{".$mailserver."/$mailbox_type:$port/notls}",$login,$password)):
I've tried every variation of the code, such as using "notls" or not. In any event, I
know the code works because I can log into every other pop server I've tried.
imap_last_error() returns: Can not authenticate to POP3 server
Has anyone else run into this? Is there a way to see more about the interaction
between imap_open and the pop server?

[PHP] Comparing two objects
I'm trying to compare two objects with == and === and getting the following error message: Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? The object has several child objects which hold a reference to the parent in them. I want to check the reference in the child object to make sure that it is the correct parent object. This is part of a sanity check for debugging purposes. Its quite easy to forget one & somewhere when dealing with the parent which causes a copy to be made. The child objects in the copy then no longer point to the parent that is active (the copy), but instead point to the original parent. This manifests itself in subtle errors revolving around the changes to the parent after the copy was made. I would like to detect this situation. Is there a workaround for this object comparison which involves determining if two variables reference the same object?

I use PHP classes extensively and very often use classes

First off, I would make sure to take advantage of inheritence
as much as possible. I have heirarchies up to 4 deep for
some of my classes depending on how much specialization
I need while at the same time maintaining only one set
of code for functionality common to all subclasses.
As for using classes within classes, I don't include
the classes within a class definition nor within
a method def. I include the class def in the class
file but outside the actual class {} statement.
When I instantiate the class, if I will need the object
ref to pass to other classes or to other methods within
the calling class, I assign the initial object
instantiation to a class variable. That way any class
methods can have ready access to that class via the
ojbect reference stored in the class variable.
Only when I know for sure that the use of a class will
be for one purpose do I include and instantiate within
a method.
as always, YMMV depending on the structure of your project.
NOTE: There is a set of new PHP functions that allow
a sort of dynamic multiple inheritence. You can look
here for info:
