Yes. A virus is trying to spread through the list. I just read details about

[PHP] Please Help....

Warning: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Invalid string or
buffer length, SQL state S1090 in SQLConnect in

Couldn't make a connection!



I have a MS Access db setup as a DSN on a web server running NT and PHP.
When I try to connect with the following code(obviously the *'s in the code
are the real information), I get the above error message. Any help would be
GREATLY appreciated if anyone could help me figure out why..

$connection = odbc_connect("DSN=***;UID=*;PWD=*","","");
if (!$connection) {
echo "Couldn't make a connection!";
exit;
}





Thanks againg for any help that can be offered.

RE: [PHP] accepting credit cards

2001-04-16 Thread Jeff Pearson

Tyler,

There are MANY ways you can do this. At some point htough, they will have to
leave your site but it can be set up so it is invisible to the user. I work
for a credit card processing company writing web based software for
processing payments. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot them off
to me.

Jeff Pearson

PS: If anyone needs a Merchant Account to process payments, let me know and
I can get you set up. Also, if anyone already has a Merchant Account and
wants cheaper rates, give me a shout.

[PHP] Blank Field Values

2001-05-18 Thread Jeff Pearson

OK. Ive been beating my head over this code for a bit. I would appreciate it
if a fresh set of eyes would take a look at this for me. I have the
following code;


$connection = odbc_pconnect("XXX","X","XXX");
$SQL = "SELECT * FROM Bios WHERE CharacterName = '";
$SQL .= $CharacterName;
$SQL .= "'";
$QueryResult = odbc_do($connection, $SQL);
$NumberofRows = odbc_num_rows($QueryResult);
$ID = odbc_result($QueryResult, ID);
$NumberofFields = odbc_num_fields($QueryResult);
if ($NumberofRows != 0)
{
$counter = 1;
do
{
$CurrentFieldName = odbc_field_name($QueryResult, $counter);
$CurrentFieldValue = odbc_result($QueryResult, $CurrentFieldName);
echo $CurrentFieldName;
echo "=";
echo $CurrentFieldValue;
echo ",";
$counter = $counter + 1;
}
while ($counter <= $NumberofFields);
echo "endoffields=end";
}
else
{
echo "No records for that character";
}










It results in the following output;

ID=,CharacterName=,RealName=,FormerAlias=,CurrentAlias=,FormerOccupations=,C
urrentOccupation=,MilitaryExperience=,Education=,LegalStatus=,Identity=,Plac
eofOrigin=,MaritalStatus=,KnownRelatives=,KnownConfidants=,Pets=,KnownAllies

If I run the query with Access, it comes up with the expected row of
information I'm looking for. Can anyone see why Im getting empty values
back?


Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Check out www.eaccounts.net. Im using them for my sites. They support

The best part is they charge based on an actual usage instead of charging

RE: [PHP] Credit card number checker?

2001-07-16 Thread Jeff Pearson

The check you want is called a MOD10 check. Most of the script libraries
have sample code. I found sample codes there. However, when I needed it, I
had to write it in ASP code. Here is the code that I use;



IF AccountNoLength > 16 THEN
ERRORState = "TRUE"
ErrorMssg =
"Account%20Number%20is%20too%20long.Please%20recheck%20and%20reenter."
URL = "CCValidationFailed.asp?ErrorMSSG=" + ErrorMSSG
Response.redirect URL
END IF
IF AccountNoLength < 13 THEN
ERRORState = "TRUE"
ErrorMssg =
"Account%20Number%20is%20too%20short.Please%20recheck%20and%20reenter."
URL = "CCValidationFailed.asp?ErrorMSSG=" + ErrorMSSG
Response.redirect URL
END IF
IF AccountNoLength = 14 THEN
ERRORState = "TRUE"
ErrorMssg = "Account%20Number%20is%20incorrect%20.%20Incorrect%20Length."
URL = "CCValidationFailed.asp?ErrorMSSG=" + ErrorMSSG
Response.redirect URL
END IF
FOR x=1 TO LEN(AccountNo)
ch=MID(AccountNo,LEN(AccountNo)-x+1,1)
IF x mod 2=0 THEN
sum=2*CINT(ch)
qsum=qsum+(sum mod 10)
IF sum>9 THEN
qsum=qsum+1
END IF
ELSE
qsum=qsum+CINT(ch)
END IF
NEXT
IF qsum mod 10<>0 THEN
ERRORState = "TRUE"
ErrorMssg = "Account%20Number%20is%20incorrect%20. Fails%20MOD10%20Check."
    URL = "CCValidationFailed.asp?ErrorMSSG=" + ErrorMSSG

END IF



Hope it helps.

RE: [PHP] PHP/Cold Fusion questions:

2001-07-26 Thread Jeff Pearson

About a year ago I did this with a Cold Fusion page and an ASP page. The ASP
page was a navigation menu that I included in a Cold Fusion page that pulled
for product information. I was in the middle of migrating everything from
Cold Fusion to ASP. I simply included the one file in the other. The
included file is processed before it is forwarded to the page that calls it
out.

RE: [PHP] Flash question, but includes variables!

2001-07-31 Thread Jeff Pearson

You need to define the variable early in the movie. Then you simply put the
field name with the {} symbols and it will be replace by what the variable
value is. In your example, you would put in the text area Hi, {NAME} whats
up? In the properties for that text object you also need to make sure it is
selected as dynamic text.

Hope this helps.

Probably the best response to him would be to point him to Sun's own survey

who used JSP and the results ended up being a VERY small percentage. If
their own customers don't use them does it really bode well for them?

RE: [PHP] The future of PHP

2001-08-23 Thread Jeff Pearson

Sorry,

Should have given specific information. The original article I read was from
InfoWorld. It can be found at:

http://www.infoworld.com/articles/op/xml/01/07/09/010709opcringely.xml

Following is the excerpt from it:



Place in the Sun

Meanwhile the light finally dawned on archrival Sun Microsystems, as the
company discovered the awful truth: Few developers use Java Server Pages
(JSP). Rather, many use that quiet achiever, the ugly-duckling language
Perl.

On its Solaris Developer Connection site, Sun posed the question, "What
language do you use to develop Web-based client applications?" The responses
went like this: Perl, 41.3 percent; JSP, 19.9 percent; C/C++, 14.2 percent;
Linux script language PHP, 11.2 percent; Microsoft Active Server Pages, 8.8
percent; and other, 4.3 percent. Check it out for yourself at
soldc.sun.com/polls/index.jshtml -- if they haven't taken it down yet.



Notice it even gives info on PHP use   :-)


Hope this helps.

RE: [PHP] The future of PHP

2001-08-23 Thread Jeff Pearson

Thomas,

Keeping in mind that preaching Languages is the same as religion. If someone
is decided for something, nothing you can say will change their mind; my
point in bringing up the numbers was that again, these numbers include ONLY
IT'S OWN CUSTOMERS If everyone was included in the poll, Im sure the
numbers would be totally different. But I also overlooked Dave's point that
it also only includes the Linux version of PHP.
