[PHP] New way to make select boxes auto select
You may already be doing it like this, but I think I found a new way to make select boxes auto-select (what data they put in) a lot easier. All you have to do is put a variable in each select tag that is equal to the value of the select option i.e.: -- then all you have to do is base the variable on that $$interest = "selected"; quick and easy with out having to loop through an if elseif statement. Let me know if you like that method or have any objections. Full example below. print("\n"); // creates a variable with a name based on // the value of interest with a value of "selected" $$interest = "selected"; print("- Select One -\n"); print("Teacher\n"); print("Lego Enthusiast\n"); print("Student\n"); print("Homeschool Parent\n"); print("Browsing\n"); print("Afterschool\n"); print("Boys & Girls Club\n"); print("YMCA\n"); print(" \n"); [ Nathan Cook | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

From: "Johnson, Kirk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Do you know what happens here if the error reporting is set to max? > Are a bunch of "unitialized variables" warnings issued? That would be my assumption. I suppose you could initialize the variables first to circumvent that. I was more or less looking for a quick and dirty way to accomplish the task. However, it looks like some good functions have been submitted to the list which would solve the error reporting. Something along the lines of building an array and then calling a function to loop through the array pieces and build a select menu. In my case, I wasn't looking to create another function, just a quick statement. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Fw: [PHP] I need some help: PHP portal site/creating email accounts through form submission
> So my specific problem is this: How do I create a new > user account on a *NIX system to have permissions to > send and receive email, for a web based email system. In theory, and in my case, I couldn't have PHP do this because PHP is running on apache with the user status of nobody. So here is my long-winded solution: User requests e-mail account to be created. PHP inserts their name into a text file (or db, doesn't matter). I compiled command line php (./configure without the --with-apache). I setup command line php to run a php script through cron with root permissions every 5 mins. The php script moves the text file to a temporary location (so that I don't have people added to it as I am reading it) and then the php script parses through the usernames and passwords in the text file and issues system() commands to create the users. It is not the most secure solution but there are some ways to secure it through data validation. Does that make sense?

Re: [PHP] string replace
You may want to try exploding on the ".": $fooPieces = explode($foo, "."); That way everything before the dot, is in the first piece of the array and everything after is in the second part of the array.

Re: [PHP] running a stand-alone PHP program
Assuming you are running linux... Just remove the "--with-apache", from the ./configure statement... should look something like this # ./configure [DIRECTIVES] [--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql] # make # make install Should install to: # /usr/local/bin/php then you can run scripts by: # /usr/local/bin/php /path/to/script/scriptname Have Fun!

DRN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to get the page height using php? This solution is sloppy but in theory it works.

Re: [PHP] preprocessing
Try going to the page with the vars you need in the URL. i.e.: http://www.www.com/cgi-bin/script?var1=test&var2=testing If that works then just use a simple header location forward in script 'b': // process vars header("LOCATION:http://www.www.com/cgi-bin/script?var1=test&var2=testing";); That way the user will never have to interact with page 'b'. Note: do not start any output before the header command. If that doesn't work then there should be some other way of assembling cgi-post headers with the header() function. Good Luck.

Not if you are currently running it as an apache module. If you are running it as a cgi, then it might. But it sounds as if you are running it as an apache module.

Re: [PHP] Getting MySQL Query Times.
IMO, you are better off printing microtime [http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.microtime.php] before and after the query, and after you loop through it. This will give you a better idea of where the hangups may be. You may also want to sprinkle mircotimes throughout your code to get a good idea of processing time.

Re: [PHP] php from the command line
It might be a good idea to check the list archives. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general But since I am feeling nice today (assuming you want to do it on *nix). Then download and un-pack the source and run: # ./configure [... additional options here like MySQL etc...(make sure you don't put in the webserver)] # make # make install Then it will create a php executable in the /usr/local/bin/ dir. Run that like this: # php -f filename.php There is also another way to do it with magic lines I think something like this at the top of your _executable_ file #!/usr/local/bin/php ... Then just run your executable file like you would any other.
