You can build a bunch of if statements or your switch()...and I'm not
sure why you would keep creating variables with the same value. ;-)
Example:
$Emp_Status_Rqmt = $row["Emp_Status_Rqmt"];
switch ($Emp_Status_Rqmt) {
case "Permanent":
$UserStatus = "Permanent";
break;
case "Contractor":
$UserStatus = "Contractor";
break;
default:
$UserStatus = "Flexible";
}

Unlike the other responses, I'll give you a different approach.
Are you attempting to build a web based 'interface' to iptables? So you
can add/edit/drop rules for iptables?
If I were to build such an app, this is how I would build it.
I would build 3 layers to this app.
- a database (postgresql or mysql)
- store all your rules, comments, timestamps, etc
- web based interface
- an interface that allows you to add, edit, modify the data in the
database
- give this interface only the necessary ability to do this, nothing
more so that your firewall configuration remains fairly secure.
- cron script
- a script on the server (written in php, perl, python, whatever)
- performs a lookup in the database and checks for any new changes
since its last run
- gets the changes and builds the necessary iptables configuration
script and writes to a file on the server.
- add a row that records when you did this so that next time you know
when to look for new records from.
You *could* use exec here to run iptables or you could have another cron
script that is just a bash script that runs the iptables config file
that you write with the cron script.
This is how *I* would approach this. This allows for flexibility of each
piece of the code. For example, one day you might want to pick up python
and build a cross platform GUI application that will allow you to manage
the rules like you did in the web interface. If this might even be the
case then you might want to consider PostgreSQL and building your
database structure and building server side functions (plperl, plPHP,
etc) that allow you to perform simple queries to add/edit/modify data.
example: SELECT blockIP('192.168.1.100');
...is a little cleaner than:
INSERT INTO tablename (ip_address, block) VALUES ('192.168.1.100', t);
This way all your system logic is stored in your database schema and not
in your code. Then a new interface is a breeze to develop and deply.
Once again, this is just one approach and might seem like more work but
after doing this kind of thing for the last several years I'm growing
weary of typing the same logic over and over to new interfaces. heh.
Happy coding!
your local PostgreSQL advocate,
Robby Russell

[PHP] forum suggestions
I have an existing web application with a fairly large user base, so it has it's own user authentication already. I am looking for a message board/forum that I can tie into the system and not need to do too much hacking to get it to authenticate against my existing system. Something with threaded comments and such, nothing super complicated like phpbb, but with some of the functionality. Any suggestions?

You can try setting up authorized_keys for this. Then you don't need to

You can go without using the passphrase as well.

You can use regular expressions for this.
$in = 'meep';
preg_match("|>(.*)|", $in, $out);
$foo = $out[1];
print $foo;
...prints: meep
This is just a quick and dirty example of how this can be done.

[PHP] php4 objects
A friend of mine asked me if I knew if this was possible in PHP4.
class foo
{
var $bar = NULL;
function foo()
{
$this->bar = new bar();
}
function getBar()
{
return $this->bar;
}
}
class bar
{
var $thing = NULL;
function bar()
{
$this->thing = "Hello World!";
}
function getThing()
{
return $this->thing;
}
}
he wants to do something like this:
$obj =& new foo;
print $foo->getBar()->getThing();
is this possible in PHP4?
I know that he can do a:
print $obj->bar->getThing();
..but he wants it to run some stuff in the functions that he is calling
and wants to do it in one command if possible.

For sanity of your mysql database, you might consider making this one
query.
Something like
DELETE FROM table WHERE id IN (32,34,46,432,35);
generating your list of numbers/ids from your array...

No PEAR allowed?
Why not? You can include the libraries in your own paths...

Are you sure that this is the correct path? Did you create a new path in
your root level as /articles_store ?
so, if I go on your machine and type in:
$ cd /
$ ls
it'll show
/articles_store
/dev
/etc
/var
...etc?

Basically, my first guess is that you are not understanding the
directory structures properly. You need to give it the full path if
you're going to have a / at the beginning of your directory path.
/foo != yousite.com/foo in the system level.

yes and yes.
ie:
function foo($bar)
{
print_r($bar);
}
$myarray = array(1,2,3,4);
foo($myarray);
ouputs:
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
[3] => 4
)

You can set an environment variable for your project like so:
putenv("TZ=US/Pacific");
just find the proper GMT time zone format..

Not sure where you learned how to handle form posts, but you might want
to spend some time reading the PHP site, specifically looking at how
global variables work.
Try changing $view to $_POST['view'];

echo $this;
..your query is going to save the same thing.
try serialize($this) instead.

Re: [PHP] running php in sequence
Edward Peloke typed this on 03/31/2004 08:11 AM:
I am using php in combination with ant to create a small automated build
process. Will php run sequentially? What I mean is I have a series of
modules or tasks:
Example:
//check out files
include("modules/checkout.php")
//zip up the files
include ("modules/zip.php")
etc
Will php wait to execute the zip.php until the checkout.php has completed
because in my priliminary tests, it doesn't appear to do this. If not,
what's the best way to execute it?
One way to test this would be to print time stamps at the top of each of
your files.

Yeah, don't make errors in your code. ;-)
Also, try to seperate your html and php code as much as possible. Use a
template system of some form. (ie. smarty)
Use a PHP editor with syntax highlighting..click on one curly brace and
then find where the other highlighted brace is and make sure that it
where it should end.
Learn how to debug your code. See how far it's getting for each
thing..add test messages and die() in different scopes of code.
Good luck,
Robby

Infact, in PostgreSQL, I can use plPHP, plPerl, psycopg, etc and perform these tasks within database functions. This isn't an issue at all. Here are a few reasons why storing in the DB can be more useful. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/intermedia/htdocs/why_images_in_database.html Also, Gallery 2, is moving to a database backend, one would wonder why that would be a good move, considering the sole purpose of gallery is to display images. -Robby -- /*** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON | www.planetargon.com * Portland, OR | [EMAIL PROTECTED] * 503.351.4730 | blog.planetargon.com * PHP/PostgreSQL Hosting & Development *--- Now supporting PHP5 --- / signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

If it's caching images, you might need to trick it into thinking that it's an image. for example, look at the mod_rewrite rules at the bottom of this blog post. http://blog.planetargon.com/index.php?/archives/27_Displaying_image_from_PostgreSQL_large_object_with_PHP.html I don't know if this *is* the issue, but it's my first guess. -Robby -- /*** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON | www.planetargon.com * Portland, OR | [EMAIL PROTECTED] * 503.351.4730 | blog.planetargon.com * PHP/PostgreSQL Hosting & Development *--- Now supporting PHP5 --- / signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I prefer the filename as it looks cleaner and appears to be more standard. So, in a webpage, I can now add the following html code to show the image. http://localhost/images/myimage.png"; /> -- /*** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON | www.planetargon.com * Portland, OR | [EMAIL PROTECTED] * 503.351.4730 | blog.planetargon.com * PHP/PostgreSQL Hosting & Development *--- Now supporting PHP5 --- / signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I don't expect that my web application will be the only interface to the data that I am storing the database. For some clients, we build pyton interfaces that clients run on their desktop. We also replicate our databases across a few servers and it's much easier to keep track of the database than it is to make sure a bunch of filesystem-stored files are too. Some of our client database machines don't have a webservers so we don't program with just the web in mind. With storing in the database, we get transaction support and we know that an image will not be deleted if it is being referenced by another piece of data. Speed versus data integrity is something we have to juggle per client as to what is more important. If you know how to optimize your database (a stock pgsql db can be rather slow..) then the speed differences are not enough of a factor for us to know that our data just a bit more safer. -Robby -- /*********** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON | www.planetargon.com * Portland, OR | [EMAIL PROTECTED] * 503.351.4730 | blog.planetargon.com * PHP/PostgreSQL Hosting & Development *--- Now supporting PHP5 --- / signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
