So if I make a mistake, please forgive me this once and I'll try to do better in the future. Please help me understand, my head is absolutely spinning and I can't get my mind around this. In the php.net site there is an example on uploading a file via a form. http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php start off simpler with this version http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp I think I have that much under my belt, I'm more or less trying to dig a little deeper. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Question about news.php.net
If there is a more appropriate place to ask this, I apologize. Please point me in the right direction. I understand that the news server is based on a mailing list, but I can't handle another high-volume source dumping stuff into my email (even if I filter it into a separate folder) so I am trying to subscribe through the news group. However, getting access seems to be hit-and-miss, since I more often than not get a message that the connection to news.php.net timed out. Is this an indication that the server is just very busy? I don't get this on any other news server I'm using on the smae news reader and I have gotten this on two different news readers that I have tried. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

In addition, if you continue to have problems, file a bug report at http://bugs.php.net/ and we'll look into it further. Thanks, I did that. In the process I found a 2005 bug report that said nntp was deliberately throttled to discourage its use... :) As part of the bug report I included a link to an image of my nntp config. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

However, I've switched to the gmane list as recommended by somone else on this thread and that works a treat, so I may just do an unsubscribe here to get rid of the annoying timeout messages. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] not able to connect to MySQL
I have defined (just for testing) a user in my SQL named "pubuser" and granted it access to a database "publications." Of course I also created the database and two tables. I can access and manipulate the tables via phpMyAdmin and I can log in to sql using pubuser via the command-line interface. I have the following php code: also I have a test web page: Connect to SQL host: $db_hostname user: $db_username password: $db_password for database: $db_database"; print_r($db_server); ?> If I try to run this, it briefly says "connecting to localhost" and then indefinitely it says "waiting for localhost..." If I comment out the connect statement, the rest runs. What should I look for? Thanks MikeB -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Array question
I have the following code:
$query = "SELECT * FROM classics";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) die ("Database access failed: " . mysql_error());
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
for ($j = 0 ; $j < $rows ; ++$j)
{
$results[] = mysql_fetch_array($result);
}
mysql_close($db_server);
My question, in the loop, why does tha author use:
$results[] = mysql_fetch_array($result);
instead of (as I would expect):
$results[$j] = mysql_fetch_array($result);?
What PHP magic is at work here?
Thanks.

[PHP] Controlling Output Buffering via php.ini
I want to turn off output buffering. In the php.ini section I found this and changed it as follows: ; Note: Output buffering can also be controlled via Output Buffering Control ; functions. ; Possible Values: ; On = Enabled and buffer is unlimited. (Use with caution) ; Off = Disabled ; Integer = Enables the buffer and sets its maximum size in bytes. ; Note: This directive is hardcoded to Off for the CLI SAPI ; Default Value: Off ; Development Value: 4096 ; Production Value: 4096 ; http://php.net/output-buffering ; Changed by MikeB 09/27/2010 ;output_buffering = 4096 output_buffering = Off Previously when I did a phpinfo(), I got the value of 4096. After my change, I get: output_bufferingno value Some other phpinfo() values (eg. Register Globals) display an "Off" value. Did I make the change correctly or is the syntax different? I did go to the url referenced above, but nowhere that I searched could I find the way to specify the value in the php.ini file.

[PHP] reporting spam in PHP manual?

[PHP] Buffering output to allow headers late in code?
I'm working through my class on PHP and I tried to put information from
my sign-on process in the navbar. This didn't work well, since I had to
reload the page to see it as the navbar was constructed earlier in the
code than the signon process. (Hard to explain, as we are building a
"dynamic" web page with lots of include files to fill in the main contnt
portion of the page.)
My instructor suggested that I do the reload of the page via php
header("Location: index.php");
after the sign-in. To do this, I have to turn on output buffering.
I recall struggling to turn off output buffering since someone here
recommended against it.
Any thoughts on this? Is this just a "quick and dirty" bypass for my
problem, accepted practice, a really bad idea, or customary practice?
I think I can code around this with some effort by putting a switch
statement in the header of the index.php, but that may be clumsy as
parts of the same web page will then be processed in two different areas.
What to do?
Thanks for any advice.

(Hard to explain, as we are building a "dynamic" web page with lots of include files to fill in the main contnt portion of the page.) I don't know if this will be much help, but I try to do all the controller / model work before I mess with the view side. So the controller starts off with the ball, then he and the model pass it between each other a few times until the controller finally hands it over to the view, who does her magic and makes the score! ... Perhaps that analogy went to far. At any rate! Ideally the sign-on task would be done before any tasks that would use sign-on data. Additionally, the layout of your page should not necessarily dictate the order of any tasks (i.e. the sign-on box being below the welcome box should not mean that the sign-on task gets done before the welcome task). Hope that helps! Chris. I guess that is kind of how I was thinking I might have to rewrite the code - but that seems to be a major departure from the current "architecture" of the website we're developing in the course and I'm kind of worried that it might get harder and harder to follow along in the lessons if I deviate too much. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I was creating cookies and it worked mid-code, since buffering was active.
