Re: [PHP] magic quotes
magic_quotes_gpc is simple, it essentially runs addslashes on all GET, POST and COOKIE data.

Re: [PHP] ini function like ini_set and ini_alter
Reread the docs here (the table):
http://www.php.net/ini_set
You cannot set this directive at runtime. Using .htaccess
is as close as you'll get to that. I see no reason why
using auto_prepend_file here would be better than include()
as this is exactly what include() is for.

Re: [PHP] PHP 2.4.3 and Apache 2.0.x

Re: [PHP] trouble with update from php 3 to php 4.2.3
If you want to do relative includes, you must have a . in
your include_path. Maybe this is what you are meaning to
do. Please reread this:
http://www.php.net/configuration.directives.php#ini.include-path
And if you still have problems after adjusting it and restarting
the web server, tell us your include_path definition and make
sure it's the same as reported in phpinfo().

Re: [PHP] GD installation - Simple Question
To use the bundled gd just do: --enable-gd Note that 4.3.0 is the first distro that includes a bundled GD. Also note that as of 4.3.0 just doing --with-gd will also use the bundled GD. Before this, --with-gd (no directory specified) would look for a local copy. That seems odd yes but theory is it means more people will use the preferred bundled GD now. To use a non-bundled, you must specify the path so: --with-gd=/path/to/gd/dir Note: It's strongly recommended to use the bundled GD.

Re: [PHP] Execute a cgi inside of php?
The error you get does not have to do with that note,
but rather that code of yours has many other issues
such as:
a) The syntax is incorrect
print "a b " c " d"; // bad
print "a b \" c \" d"; // good
print "a b ' c ' d"; // good
print 'a b " c " d'; // good
...
http://www.php.net/types.string
b) You are attempting to mix SSI into PHP
You can't do that, just like how one can't
write PERL or ASP code in PHP.
Some options:
a) Using virtual()
virtual("../cgi-bin/include/horoscopes.cgi");
b) Go through HTTP
$url = 'http://www.example.com/foo/horoscopes.cgi';
echo implode('', file($url));
c) Rewrite horoscopes.cgi as PHP
This is the ideal option, consider doing this
in the future.
That manual note you referred to has to do with code
such as (http == remote file):
include 'http://www.example.com/foo.php';
Which would include the output of that url into the
webpage. This is unrelated and remember that parse errors
are always due to syntax problems.

Re: [PHP] Using fopen() to open a php file with variables.
Why don't you just use include?
$month = 12;
$year = 2002;
// This include has access to the above variables
include 'make_calendar.php3';
Include it wherever you intended to print $caledar_html.
It doesn't exist in your code because the url is seen as
part of the filename.

Re: [PHP] MySQL error
You need to do some error handling, as in:

>
> // get each row
>
> --> line 36 while($row = mysql_fetch_row($mysql_result))

Make sure $mysql_result is a valid resource as PHP
is telling you it's not. Here's one way:
if (!$mysql_result) {
echo "DB Error ($query) : " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($mysql_result)) {
}
See? We made sure $mysql_result isn't false as the
function mysql_query returns false on failure. If
it is false, we print some useful info out to
debug it. In production, you most likely won't want
to print it out but anyway...
For a more complete example, see:
http://www.php.net/mysql_fetch_assoc
Btw, being that there is a function named mysql_result
I wouldn't create a variable by that name, kinda confusing.

Philip Olson
p.s. mysql_error is your friend.

Re: [PHP] Don't get variable to be passed to the page on submit
Read this:
http://www.php.net/variables.external
Pay special attention to the parts about the PHP
directive register_globals.
If on, both $_GET['nafn'] and $nafn will exist. If
off, $nafn will not exist. As of PHP 4.2.0, the default
for this in php.ini went from on to off.
This applies to all variables, even web server variables
such as PHP_SELF so you'd use: $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], etc.
Regards,
Philip Olson
P.s. So you want your query to look more like this:
$sql = INSERT INTO $db_imgCat (catName, subCat)
VALUES ('{$_GET['nafn']}', 0)";
P.s.s. Consider validating nafn first, users are evil.
P.s.s.s. Use $_SESSION instead of session_register

RE: [PHP] Array
I'm not sure what is meant in this thread but arrays
are pretty simple. PHP allows both numerical and
associative arrays (although in all reality they all
are associative) but anyway:
$arr1 = array('a','b','c', 42 => 'yep');
print $arr1[0]; // a
print $arr1[1]; // b
print $arr1[2]; // c
print $arr1[42]; // yep
$arr1[] = 'd';
print $arr1[43]; // d
$arr2 = array('a' => 'apple', 'blah');
print $arr2['a']; // apple
print $arr2[0]; // blah
Anyway the best way to see what values an array
actually has is with print_r() or var_dump()
print_r($arr2);
That code quoted from "PHP Bible" has many issues,
it isn't generic at all. Please ignore it or at
least keep in mind the context of it. A more
generic form of it:
function print_keys_and_values($arr) {
foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
print "Key: $key - Value: $value\n";
}
}
Please read the following manual entries on arrays:
http://www.php.net/types.array
http://www.php.net/foreach
Play around with them for awhile and they'll
eventually make sense. Regarding the original
question of this thread, see print_r() as I
blame a typo or something... or maybe it's a
variable scope issue. Your example looks fine.
Regards,
Philip Olson
P.s: Essentially
numerical == numbered keys
associative == worded keys

Because ' $name' != '$name' so zero rows are returned. So
remove the leading space from your query and you'll get
one row..

Because there are 12 rows, not 13 ;) Check again or simply
test it:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users";
if (!$result = mysql_query($sql)) {
echo "Could not run query ($sql) " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$rows[] = $row;
}
print "";
print "Returned: " . count($rows) . " and num_rows: $count\n";
print_r($rows);

Nope.

Re: [PHP] Re: mysql_num_rows
First, there is no reason to do mycounter like this
when mysql_num_rows() will work perfectly. It's not
based on any certain column numbers or primary keys.
Although if you're suggesting this method to simply
print 0-n in the loop (as users may want to know the
row number of output not any id number) then that's
good altough it's not really a counter in this case.
Second, we assume this person wants a count for
informational purposes, to go along with the
data in which case mysql_num_rows() is your best
bet. It means having a count before the data is
printed/used. And checking the number or rows
returned before fetching is a form of error handling
as well as if it equals 0 than there is no data to
fetch. But if one ONLY wants a number of rows count,
doing SELECT count(*)... works great as suggested
below.

Re: [PHP] Re: mysql_num_rows
And now mysql4 allows doing this another way, I *assume*
this new way is slightly faster then the additional
count() although I haven't tested it and wonder if it
affects mysql_num_rows()...
See: SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS()

How about:

exit ends the script, nothing after its use is executed.

RE: [PHP] Problem with sessions.
For the record, variables are case sensitive so it's
$_SESSION not $_session.
And if you're going to use $_SESSION (which you should),
do not use session_register().

Re: [PHP] syntax to reference $_POST within function
First, read this:
http://www.php.net/variables.external
Second, assuming you have a PHP version equal to
or greater than 4.1.0 and the method of the form
is POST, you'd do something like this:
$banlist = array('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
echo check_banlist($banlist, $_POST['email']);
Your question sounds like you're wondering if the
function definition should change, it doesn't. You
leave it as $email and use $email within the function.
This is just how functions work, you pass in values.
So:
function foo ($email) {
print $email;
}
foo($_POST['email']);
// Or as you used to do with register_globals
foo($email);
Or you could always just do:
function bar () {
print $_POST['email'];
}
bar();
This is why they are SUPERglobals, because this is
what you would have done in the past (old school):
function baz () {
global $email, $HTTP_POST_VARS;
print $email;
print $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
}
Also it's worth mentioning that $HTTP_POST_VARS has
existed since PHP 3, so just in case that might be
important to you too. It is not super.
Now if you don't care if 'email' comes from GET, POST,
or COOKIE ... you could use $_REQUEST['email']. Or,
import_request_variables() is another option. For
example:
import_request_variables('p', 'p_');
print $p_email;
See the manual for details, and have fun! It really
isn't that complicated and you'll be yelling out
Eureka! pretty soon now.
Regards,
Philip Olson
P.s. Superglobals work with register_globals on or off.

Re: [PHP] syntax to reference $_POST within function
This is a very important point to understand, I tried (and

clear though, here's another :)
// $a can be anything when you call the function
function bar ($a) {
print $a;
}
bar ('Hello World');
bar ($_POST['something']);

Re: [PHP] Forms and PHP variables
Use is_numeric() http://www.php.net/is_numeric See also the ctype functions which can be read about here: http://www.php.net/ctype And yes, regular expressions are another option but aren't needed here.

Re: [PHP] Loading modules not compiled in php
Aspell is deprecated in favor of Pspell in PHP so
using it is a bad idea. But you can do this to
get Pspell going:
a) On either the JTL box or on some other one
with the same operating system, get the php
source and get ready to compile.
http://www.php.net/downloads
b) Be sure the appropriate libraries are available
as per the instructions found here:
http://www.php.net/pspell
c) Configure PHP like so:
./configure --with-apxs --with-pspell=shared
d) Then build it:
make
e) This will then create the module which will
exist in:
yourphpsourcedir/modules/pspell.so
f) Copy this file somewhere on your web server and
in the php script load it with dl() like so:
dl('pspell.so');
Easier said then done I know but the above is a
possibility ;) You may want to ask them if they
could create this .so so that clients can load
it dynamically, that would be ideal.

Philip Olson

Re: [PHP] Forms and PHP variables
is_numeric() will work with variables just fine. So:
if (is_numeric($var)) {
print "Yep, it's numeric";
} else {
print "Nope, it sure isn't a number";
}
Make sure $var is defined. If it's coming from a
form then use $_POST['var'] or similar instead for
reasons described here:
http://www.php.net/variables.external

GD is not "standard equipment", a "special" version is just bundled in PHP source now. It sounds like you are using windows, this bundling has no affect on the windows distribution as it included all the pre-compiled binaries already, including GD's. In fact, I bet you already have a GD binary and just need to uncomment out in your php.ini but anyway 4.1.1 is old so you should upgrade.

Re: [PHP] Java call on object causes segfault.
Whenever you get a segfault, try the latest
stable release and during compile be sure to
use --enable-debug
:
http://snaps.php.net/
If the segfault exists here, write a bug report
and include the backtrace:
http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
http://bugs.php.net/
This will be of great help to the php-dev team. Also
I believe many changes to the Java extension went
into 4.3.0 so maybe it'll work for you.

For something like this, just use readfile() and not fread
as it'd be much more efficient if you don't actually manipulate
the string $contents. So:
readfile($filename); // note: do not use echo
Also, what is your include_path setting? It's important
you know it and what it means as that'll answer the
question in your last post:
print ini_get('include_path');
http://www.php.net/manual/configuration.directives.php#ini.include-path
Also, no need for "exit" here as that happens automatically.

Philip

Or why not:
$lookingfor = 'somebutton';
if (isset($_REQUEST[{$lookingfor . '_x'}])) {
print "Found it, a button named $lookingfor was clicked";
}
Or something, I think this is what you mean? Whatever the
problem, there will be a solution ... don't stress :) But
regarding the problem here, I don't get what you mean. How
familiar are you with arrays? Anyway, as Chris stated, the
name/value will be available in the appropriate autoglobal
which will be $_POST or $_GET, and/or $_REQUEST.

It's as of PHP 4.2.0 that the default value of the
register_globals directive went from on to off. It is
this directive that pollutes your script with these
variables and it's recommended to not use them and
leave this deprecated directive off. Now what happened

this is all described in various places in the manual

Install the php-mysql rpm, restart apache, and they will
now exist. (assuming you already installed the mysql rpm)
In short, there are three rpms: php, mysql, and php-mysql.

Using arrays with forms is in a faq: http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.arrays How do you feel this should be expanded? Mentioning that unchecked checkboxes do not pass values, and that the default value is 'on' (if checked) ... would be good too.

Ideally one faq would explain it for all types, checkboxes or otherwise. Making it short/concise and understandable for all user levels (such as newbies) is the tricky part.

There is a bug in PHP 4.3.0 regarding the use of arrays
in strings. The following gave a parse error before
PHP 4.3.0:
print "Do not do this: $arr['key']";
Now it gives an E_NOTICE error due to changes to the string
scanner. In PHP 4.3.1 it will no longer give a bogus E_NOTICE
and instead it will work (no parse error either). Surrounding
the array with {braces} in the string works regardless, so:
print "You can do this: {$arr['key']}";
Regarding this question, don't write it like that but instead
do the following (no quotes needed):
echo $new['company'];
For those wondering about this bug, see:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=21820
The string documentation has been updated to demonstrate
the array in string phenomena (except the bug hasn't been
mentioned as I'm waiting for it to be committed first).
http://www.php.net/types.string
Sunfire, you aren't seeing this E_NOTICE error because your
error level is turned down (by default). Put this on top
of your script to see them all:
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Whoever told you this should be shot as this is an enormous
security hole! The above is a security hole much larger
than register_globals could ever hope to be. That and it's
silly to attempt to mimic register_globals at runtime.
The above is insecure in that it will overwrite web server
variables ($_SERVER) with request variables such as those
from $_GET. This is TERRIBLE!!! Just imagine this as
just an example:
http://www.example.com/a.php?PHP_SELF=http://www.foo.com
In the above scenerio, this would create $PHP_SELF
first from $_SERVER then it'd be overwritten by the
$_GET and than by the $_REQUEST that had the GET in
it. So this makes it inefficient and insecure :) A
better example exists but anyway this should show a
nice point (like maybe PHP_AUTH_PW or REMOTE_USER).
Anyway, sorry for the rant but it's just that whoever
told you that should not tell anyone anything related
to this topic.
The best options are:
a) rewrite the code or
b) set register_globals with .htaccess or php.ini
or in virtualhost in httpd.conf
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php
Now if you must set it at runtime (please do not do this)
then you could try this:
// THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED
if (!ini_get('register_globals')) {
$types_to_register = array('GET','POST','COOKIE',
'SESSION','SERVER');
foreach ($types_to_register as $type) {
if (@count(${'HTTP_' . $type . '_VARS'}) > 0) {
extract(${'HTTP_' . $type . '_VARS'}, EXTR_OVERWRITE);
}
}
}
// THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED
Although it doesn't depend on the variables_order directive
like register_globals does, it is flexible. Keep in mind
that variables are written from first to last so you
certainly don't want GET coming after SERVER.

echo takes on commas as we can echo multiple variables which
isn't something we can do with print. This is also the main
difference between echo and print. So, the commas are okay
here but as someone else already stated, echo doesn't behave
like printf so no special %formatting% with echo.

By default a checked checkbox has the value of 'on' but this
can be changed to anything. So for example:
One can use IN to delete them all, for example:
$ids = implode(',', $_POST['id']);
$sql = "DELETE FROM divx
WHERE id IN ($ids)";
Anyway, you mention $del so you should make sure that
this variable even exists as for it to exist automatically
you need the register_globals directive to be on. Odds
are it's off and you should code with it off. I assume
we are using method="POST" in the form. See:
http://www.php.net/variables.external
Debugging101 would have you do: print $sql;
And lastly, posting a TON of code won't get you very
far. I just ignored it and based my response on the
one above.

No offense Sunfire but I don't think you're ready to
be answering questions. Please spend some more time
learning first and then start answering ;) Although
your point of using quotes was good, just say so
without code as the above would always result in
the value "Array".
In a more general sense, it's most likely $Foo has a
space in it or a quote or some undesireable character:
// good html
// bad html (value becomes 'a' not 'a var')
Regarding other possible goodies in $var such as
characters like < or > or " or whatever ... read
this faq:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.encoding
If the error is something else it's because you did
not describe the question very well. Knowing the
error would be a huge help.

include returns false on failure and here's a hack to
demonstrate. Once you implement your own error
handling, be sure to set error_reporting accordingly
or supress with @.
if (!include('foo.php')) {
if (!include('static.html')) {
print 'ut oh, this is serious.';
}
}
Be sure to read about PHP's error handling capabilities to
do something more useful and/or create your own error
handling functions/system.

Either loop through it with fgets() or simply use
file() and use the required array elements (lines).
Most likely using fopen/fgets() will be more efficient
as you won't need every line but file() is just so easy
to use. Although really this problem doesn't sound
very efficient to begin with, you may want to rethink
the logic here or ask your content provider for a RSS
version of the content or something...

Please post the exact syntax as you did not as the
above will provide a serious parse error. To test
if a value exists, do:
var_dump($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
Or phpinfo(). Now, going off a guess, try:
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/foo.php';
The following will NOT work in 4.3.0 as there
is a bug when using the following syntax:
echo "$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']";
echo "Er, $iam['inastringand'] buggy in 4.3.0";
Note that the above gives a parse error in 4.2.3,
a bogus E_NOTICE error in 4.3.0, and will work (no
parse error) in 4.3.1. Now, the following always
works:
echo "{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}";
echo "So {$i['willalwayswork']} yeah!";
Note: We are specifically talking about using arrays
within strings where the array key is quoted.

Philip
P.s. Autoglobals, such a $_SERVER, became available in
PHP in PHP 4.1.0

Re: [PHP] "Constants" for dummies, please?
Some thoughts on variables and constants:
a) You can't redefine a constant but can redefine
a variable.
b) Constants are autoglobal (like superglobals) so
for example:
Had we not used global $variable, the $variable
would not have been available inside the function.
But, the constant is AUTOglobal so it is. Read:
Variable Scope:
http://www.php.net/variables.scope
c) Constants must be scalar values in PHP4, (so
not arrays, objects, or resources).
d) Constants are cool, variables are cool too.

Philip Olson

Re: [PHP] Q on echo phpinfo() ;
You may set the location of php.ini by using the PHPRC environment variable or during ./configure use the --with-config-file-path directive. Maybe you should just copy a php.ini into the directory PHP is looking for it in, which appears to be C:\WINNIT. If PHP was actually reading a php.ini, you would have instead seen it as C:\WINNIT\php.ini as opposed to just a directory path. So because no php.ini is being read, PHP is using all default values as per a stock php.ini-dist. http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.phpini Regards, Philip On Sat, 5 Jul 2003, jsWalter wrote: > I ran this as a script from my Apache and it gave me a beautiful web page > just full of wonderful information! > > But I have a question on just 1 item... > > Configuration File (piping) Path C:\WINNIT > > How does this value get set? > > My PHP is installed at 'G:\etc\php' > > My php.ini is there as well. > > The paths are set (in that ini file) as... > > include_path = ".;G:\etc\php\extensions;G:\etc\php\pear" > > extension_dir = "G:\etc\php\extensions" > > Even My Apache is told to look there as well... > > # Windows Win32 version > > LoadFile "/etc/php/gnu_gettext.dll" > > LoadModule php4_module "/etc/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll" > > Action application/x-httpd-php "/etc/php/php.exe" > > ScriptAlias /php/ "/etc/php/" > > (pls don't comment about there being volume letters missing to this block, > > I want to focus on the issue of a path being defined from out of the blue) > > Is this being hard coded somewhere? > > If so, then why does my PHP work at all? > > I have nothing that belongs to PHP in the system directory. > > Well, not completely true. > > PEAR installed a pear.ini in the system directory itself (I wish it didn't, > > but my PEAR not working properly is a different issue.) > > Nothing I've read from the web or the documentation has given me any > understand on how this is set and why PHP file are needed in the location > that the says to place them. > > I guess, this is a question for the folks who wrote the executables for > Windows. > > Thanks for any help and enlightenment. > > Walter > > > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Reading from remote file
This is already fixed in CVS. The entire example is bogus,
it should not be using filesize($filename) either.
Here's what's in CVS (the manual will be rebuilt sometime
in the next week):
http://www.example.com/";, "rb");
$contents = "";
do {
$data = fread($handle, 8192);
if (strlen($data) == 0) {
break;
}
$contents .= $data;
} while(true);
fclose ($handle);
?>
And the whole point is to demonstrate the following note:
"When reading from network streams or pipes, such as those
returned when reading remote files or from popen() and
proc_open(), reading will stop after a packet is available.
This means that you should collect the data together in
chunks as shown in the example below."
Have fun :)

Philip

It works fine, you are using different code then the above.
In your actual code, make sure you pass in an array that
exists, as currently you are not.
One example reason, the foreach is inside a function and
$champs isn't available in the functions scope (global).
At any rate, before your foreach, var_dump($champs) and
it'll let you know what is up.
Regards,
Philip
p.s. In case $row is an array, you actually mean to write
it as $row[$key], but this is unrelated to the error that
foreach is providing.

Although really, heredoc can't be compared to either echo or print, as it's just a string definition that eventually will be printed. So I guess you guys are really comparing "" vs heredoc?

RE: [PHP] $_POST problem
The only time you want to use {braces} like that is
when you are in a string. None of the suggestions
here are in strings, so the use of {braces} is bogus.
The following is good:
echo "Hello {$there['friend']} is good";
Note how we're in a string. This topic is very much
discussed (with loads of examples) here:
http://www.php.net/types.string
Regarding the question in this thread, it's not clear
what you're problem is. If the form is method POST,
and you have at least PHP version 4.1.0, there is a
100% chance that the name/value will live in $_POST.
echo $_POST['foo'];
Not sure what the question is, could you be a little
more clear? It seems you are mixing up img_keywords
and new_keywords, maybe that's it. Debugging101
would say to check what's in $_POST, which could be:
print_r($_POST);

Just think how abused it would be, how many people would use it, when few would actually need it. Most people can use the data while in the loop, not after. Or do what is needed in the sql, not php.

Re: [PHP] imagecreate() error
Hello Michelle- a) Only enable one GD dll, so use php_gd2.dll. b) Consider using imagecreatetruecolor() instead but either will work. c) When asking support questions, it's important to say exactly what version, although in this case we know it's 4.3.0-1 as php_gd.dll was removed in PHP 4.3.2 Anyway, enable just one dll and it should work. Be sure to restart the web server afterwards.

You'll be waiting a long time, until the end of time :) Because the php4 module is now named php-src, so change that in the url and you'll be set.

Re: [PHP] Strange Problem
This is an IIS issue. The install.txt has specific
information on this topic, have a look. Also, this comes
up a lot and the following bug report is full of newbies
asking bogus questions but it also contains some good info:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=12061
So it looks like security/permission settings where the
php cgi lacks permission. Also:

Re: [PHP] Trouble getting $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
Your script should work fine, and to fix claims made in
this thread:
a) $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is NOT an array, it's a string.
b) It does not live in $_SERVER, or rely on register_globals.
Your code is wrong because you don't provide names for your
fields, so there is no POST data. Assign your text field
a name, and your submit field a name, and it will work.
Also, keep in mind that $PHP_SELF existing requires the
PHP directive register_globals to be on.
Regards,
Philip

There is no Errata per se, but there is a changelog that lists bugs/fixes and even links to the bug reports in question. One day the manual will have its own changelog that will list every change, such as new parameters, name changes, default value changes, etc. But it doesn't exist yet.
