I ended up with this solution ;)

$mnd = substr ( $row['endret_dato'], 4, 2 );
$aar = substr ( $row['endret_dato'], 0, 4 );

[PHP] timestamp triggered only on update?
Maybe the wrong forum, but im giving it a try. Im used to for instance 2 columns in each table indicating when it was created and when it was last updated: Changed_date Registered_date In mysql it seems it is only possible to define a column as a timestamp, and this will trigger both on insert and delete. Is it possible to define changed_date to trigger only on update in mysql or do i have do give the correct timestamp "manually" from php?

Thx,
no, you did not misunderstand. Thats the way im building the html code for
displaying images now, but in the manual there is a lot of image-functions.
I thought that there maybe was some better way of displaying the images..
But... hey, if this is the way it is done i guess everything is ok ;)

[PHP] [PHP-NIX] File upload
Hi guys/girls, I am having some major pain here with a php script handling file uploads. It's part of an CMS and the file in question takes a PDF, makes a thumbnail of it and then moves it to it's proper location on the server. All this works fine with smaller files < ~ 2 MB. I am having a file that needs to be uploaded to the server though, that is 2.3MB and the script just doesn't handle it. I have already increased all the PHP.ini setting (i.e. max_file_size, max_input_time, max_execution_time etc.) but to no avail. All the setting are well beyond of what the actual process takes, and the script itself doesn't seem to timeout, it just comes back with: "Warning: Unable to open 'none' for reading: No such file or directory in ..." which is pointing to the line where the file is copied from it's temp location on the server /tmp/ to it's proper folder. It seems to me, the file (temporary) never actually ends up on the server in the first place. As I said above, for smaller files everything works fine. All this is running on: Apache, PHP 4.1.2, Linux The increase for the php.ini variables is only made for one of the domains hosted on that machine via entries in the virtual host part of the httpd.conf and I checked with phpinfo() wether the variables that increased via those setting are actually changing accordingly. All that looked fine. Does anyone have an idea what could be going on? I'd appreciate any help on this, as the client is expecting this to be fixed ASAP. cheers, Ben -- "Sie haben neue Mails!" - Die GMX Toolbar informiert Sie beim Surfen!

[PHP] How do I POST data with headers & make the browser follow?
Hi guys/girls, I have to apologize if this issue has been discussed in detail before but I couldn't find anything obvious so far. What I need/want to do is to : 1. Take POST data from a form (no problem) 2. Do whatever i need to on the target page (no problem) 3. Pass some other data on to a 3rd page as a POST request. 4. Get the browser to follow to said 3rd page. All this is happening via SSL. So basically what i am trying to do is to "fake" whatever happens at a normal POST request that is handled by the browser. Now point 4. in my example above is giving me a massive headache, I have managed to pass data on to the 3rd page as POST quite comfortably using cURL but the browser doesn't follow (ie. the URL in the address bar remains unchanged). I did see that there is a FOLLOWLOCATION option you can set in cURL when you do you request, and though "wicked, just what I needed" only to find out that it's not working (probably because I understand what it does wrong). Pretty pretty please if anyone knows a solution for the above, let me know. Oh, and I'd also like to add that the information I am trying to get to the 3rd page in the example is sensitive (Credit Card details etc.), so $_GET and $_COOKIE are out of the question. ANY help would be appreciated.

Re: [PHP] How do I POST data with headers & make the browser follow?
The information that comes in from the first page is a creditcard form with the standard values (CCnumber, Expiry Date, Cardholder name etc). On page 2 an XMLrequest is done with a verification gateway (in this case to check for enrolment in 3D-Secure), the result for that I get back on the same page and no redirection needs to be done. However AFTER the enrolment check with the gateway I need to send the user along to the 3rd page, which is a URL that is provided by the verification process. So to get there, as I need to pass a heap of data to that 3rd page I can either use GET or POST, but since the amount of data is fairly big the only real option for this part seems POST. So it's not really about keeping the data persistent, it's more about the fact on how to push the user along correctly. Hope that makes sense somehow.

Hi Petr,
thanks for the reply, first off i certainly didn't claim to be an expert on
the HTTP, which is why i was asking the question I did.
I do realise that PHP runs on the server and can't force the browser to do
anything directly, I was merely wondering why header("Location:"); got the
browser to follow and if there was a way for me to get the same behaiviour
working when PHP was posting data.
Anyway, I will look at my problem at hand again and will try something else.
Thanks for the tips.

Re: [PHP] How do I POST data with headers & make the browser follow?
Hi Richard, just to stop and everyone from getting a heart attack right this instant what I am doing with cURL and the multiple pages attempt is not much more scary than any other "person leaves credit card info on form" script you come across. The server that I am re-sending the data to is our own and I know what i am sending and where, so it's not like I am toying around sending peoples creditcard info to some dodgy location. So what's happening is nothing other than peoples data being re-sent by the server that belongs to us to a know and trusted source. Since the data comes in via the checkout form already it is not any "less" secure than usual. The main issue for me was that I did not want to store the credit card details for the second step of the processing. Anyway, to stop me lamenting and clear this up I am not passing credit card info around any places that are not verified or trustworthy and was merely looking for a way to pass this information along without having to store them on my end before the go across to the payment gateway. I'll have another look at what I could do differently in this case. Usually I wouldn't to deal with an issue like this as payment information would go straight to the payment gateway (handled there, processed there, stored there) but in this case there was an inbetween step, which I didn't know how to solve.

Re: [PHP] How do I POST data with headers & make the browser follow?
Hi Mark, basically what I am working on is integrating a step inbetween the checkout and the payment gateway processing. The cardholder information is checked for enrolment in the first step, if the cardholder is enrolled he will need to authenticate himself by password (this is where the 2nd page comes in) if the authentication is successfull he is forwarded to the 3rd page where the payment gateway processing takes place. It's like any other online payment integration i have done before but this time there is this extra step required due to Visa's and Mastercards new security feature. I didn't see an issue with passing this information along since it's already used in the verification of the cardholder which also requires the card number. I do require the payment info again on page 3 to pass it along to the payment gateway, but didn't want to store it on my end for that. What I gather from Richards answer earlier that the difference between $_POST, $_GET or $_COOKIE, $_SESSION is almost irrelevant, I might as well store the detail in a session to be able to use them on page 3 it seems. > Is this what happens: > > 1. User enters payment data > 2.
