[PHP] Does PHP have vb's 'mid' function (or similar)?
I'm trying to find a function, similar to vb's 'mid' function that you can return X amounts of characters at position Y from string Z. And I can't seem to find one. Any help?

[PHP] replacing mail()
Yeah, mail() again... I want to disable the default mail command and replace it with my own.

[PHP] Selective seeing =)
12/03/2002 11:20:18 PM Hey all, I'm looking to write a PHP script that will cut all content out of a page and only display one line. For example, take this URL: http://www.cow.net/cows/ I want a script that will get this page, but only display the line at the bottom of the page that says: "I will never speak to Sara Glover again" The real use is to get the current usage from my ISP's online tracking system and display it on a page without 1) having to log in and 2) displaying my password. The page is accessible but just sending all paramaters in the URL, so a login as such isn't nesessary. The question is, does anyone know of any classes or PHP programs that I could use to do this?

[PHP] Detecting posts from outside site
Also, speaking of detection, I made a small script that can protect against
people downloading your site's forms, modifying their new local copy (and
putting an absolute URL in the form's ACTION attribute), and then posting
data using the botched form. If it's bulletproof, then I figured this could
help some of you out. If not, I welcome comments (I'm a little bit hesitant
of calling things 'bulletproof'). $http_referer (lowercase) is the
parse_url() of $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]. Some local mucking up can give you
the format you want for it.
if((count($_POST) > 0) && (!stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"],
$http_referer))) {
unset($_POST);
$evil = "postedfromoutsidepage";
}
Then, you can test for $evil when you need to print an error message or
decide whether or not the data is proper.

Re: [PHP] crontab
> Can I run a php script in crontab? > Do I echo or print? > Anyone doing it? This is a serious security hazard. However, what you could do is have a PHP page set cron settings (such as name of file, location, frequency, and importance), then have another cron job (running at a decent frequency) do the organization. However, this is still a security flaw, as hackers can just take a look at your cron jobs and get in and run their own in place of yours. Probably no more a flaw than normal, though, as if a hacker can get in to replace your cron job, they can get in and run any number of things anyway. Make sure to hard code your cron jobs, as having a downloadable page is a bigger security hazard. You don't want the PHP page to do this itself, because it will have to run as root. I did this one time, and if I'm allowed some time to get my page up, I can e-mail you some instructions.

Re: [PHP] Dollar signs in values
> Escape them with a backslash: > > $text = "The amount is \$400.-"; All that does is print \$ in my HTML. What's going on is that it will put, say, RR$T into a file when that's typed into a textbox or any typable form control. That's properly saved in the file. So the file will contain RR$T. When it's output, it could be RR, or RR$T, depending on some unpredictable factors (haven't figured it out). By adding a slash, what gets saved in the file is RR\$T, but what gets output could be RR\ or RR\$T, depending on those same factors. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Here's what I have in my file:

It's first exploded() by ~, then those values are produced by print("")

$information[1] . "\"");
I'll try the single quotation mark method first, though.

I'm still getting nothing either way. Anybody know why?

Upon downloading a file, I wanted to chmod, chgrp, and chown it. I wanted to
do it this way:
if((chmod) && (chgrp) && (chown)) {
print("Success!");
} else {
print("Failure!");
}
but I wanted it to at least attempt all of them, so at least I can get most
of the work done there.
Someone metioned just to do them separately and if the results, so I did
that.

I'd agree with this, but just in case this is an absolute necessity, and a

[PHP] Which is quicker, if-else statements
Is it just as quick to do:
if($r == 0) {
} else if($r != 0) {
}
than to do:
if($r == 0) {
} else {
}
The reason I like the former method is because, in a large IF-ELSE block, it's clear
what belongs to what IF and what's going on. But does this make it lag? And, if so, is
it really all that noticeable?

Hmm. That's a good idea. Yeah, I was sure the else-if method wasn't faster.
I just wasn't sure if it was slower, or if that really mattered. But your
method seems fine, and I have no idea why I didn't think of that.
