How do I tell if

[PHP] $_GET
I am moving my web site to a new host this weekend. I am working
towards making the code compatible to the structure of the new server.
I am getting a weird response which I don't understand
At the very start of my index.php I have the following lines of code:
foreach($_GET as $key => $val) {
$$key = $_GET[$val];
echo $_GET[$val] . "";
}
What I don't understand is why the output is
I am not understanding how two "empty" variables are being passed.
index.php is driven off of various mod re-writes contained
within .htaccess . This is why I am doing the loop above.
RewriteRule ^page/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^page/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1&field1=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^page/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=
$1&field1=$2&field2=$3 [L]
What should I be trying? What will allow the value of page to be passed
onto $page with the following URL:

Re: [PHP] Array
The code I have so far for orders is below. When a product hasn't been

It still leaves the variable $_SESSION['order'] as an array, even if
there are no selections in it. The PHP command is_array is useless of
weed out when there are no products.

Do an isset() on $_SESSION['order'] first to determine if the

[PHP] Array / form processing
I am writing a custom shopping cart that eventually the "cart" will be
uploaded to PayPal for payment. I need to be able to include the option
that the purchase is a gift certificate.
At present my "add to cart" function goes like this:
===
# Gift Certificate: 1 is a gift; 2 is personal use
if ( $gift_certificate == "yes" ) {
$gift = 1;
} else {
$gift = 2;
}
$_SESSION['life_coaching_order'][$product][$gift]['quantity'] =
$_SESSION['life_coaching_order'][$product][$gift]['quantity'] + 1;
===
Now I need to display the shopping cart contents. I want to do this
through an array as the contents of the shopping cart are in a session
variable. I start displaying the shopping cart contents by a "FOREACH"
loop:
===
foreach ($_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] AS $coaching_fee_theme_reference
=> $value ) {
===
What I need help with is that I don't know how to test the value of $gift
in the above array if it is a 1 or 2 (which symbolizes this is a gift
certificate).
I have something like this in mind:
if ( $_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] == 2 ) {
But I don't know how to access all the components of the array while I am
going through the FOREACH loop.
By using a "1" or "2" I have made gift certificates their own product. If
you a better method I could use please provide me with this feedback.

Many thanks, Chris.
I have one additional question about this shopping cart project. I need
to make a submit button for the purpose of removing an item from the
shopping cart.
What I am struggling with is to find an effective method for passing the
product serial number (auto_increment in the table it is stored in) so I
know which product the user is removing from their purchase. Then I will
just unset the session variable that matches.
What are your suggestion(s)?

It is no use using header(). This sets a header for the client, not
the server of any file_get_contents() requests.
I use stream_contexts.
$s_Contents = file_get_contents(
$s_URL,
False,
stream_context_create(
array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'GET',
'header' => "User-Agent: RonBot (http://www.example.com)\r\n"
),
)
)
);
You can supply cookies, or anything else, with the request. Make sure
you add a \r\n to each of the headers and just concatenate them.
If you are doing this in a loop, then I'd recommend creating a default
stream context and then the request would just be ...
$s_Contents = file_get_contents($s_URL);
As the default stream context would be applied.
I had to use a default stream context to route all http requests
through an NTLM authentication proxy server because PHP doesn't deal
with NTLM authentication.
See my user notes on
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-context-get-default.php.
Don't bother with the link at the bottom of the user note- it's not
live.

++$i;

Good morning all:
I have recently purchased a computer and am using it as a dedicated server. A
friend helped me install PHP and configure. I am saying this because I wonder
if using a newer version of PHP (compared to my commercial web host) may be the
reasoning behind the error I am receiving.
I created a function to generate a form submission key.
- This created hidden variable for forms
- This is also session variable
With this function I have an ‘ include ‘ for the file containing the mySQL
database, username and password. I know this file is being accessed because I
added:
===
echo $mySQL_user;
===
following the login credentials.
But when I remove this line from mySQL_user_login.inc.php and place within the
function on the line following the include the "echo” returns nothing.
===
include("mySQL_user_login.inc.php");
echo $mySQL_user;
===
Can any of you tell me why this is happening?

This syntax replaces each instance of % with the same letter: $puzzle[$i] = str_replace ( "%" , ( substr ( $puzzle_filler , rand(1,98) , 1 ) ) , $puzzle[$i] ); Turning this: %ECARBME%TIPLUP%%%E%% Into: uECARBMEuTIPLUPuuuEuu Is there a way to tweak my str_replace so it will only do 1 % at a time, so a different replacement letter is selected? This is the syntax specific to choosing a replacement letter at random: substr ( $puzzle_filler , rand(1,98) , 1 ); Thanks for your help.

[PHP] Submit Using An Image Form Processing
I am writing a shopping cart using the PayPal API. Shopping cart works. Just adding additional functionality. >From the shopping cart contents I am trying to make it so the user may click >on a picture of a trash can to delete the item. I wrote the following line of >code: http://www.theverseoftheday.info/store-images/trash_can.png"; WIDTH="20" HEIGHT="20" style="float: right;boarder: 0;" alt="Remove Product From Shopping Cart" name="remove_product" value="1" /> But when I have do: echo $remove_product; I am not getting anything. Is there a correct way of passing a variable through an image? The value in this above example is the auto_increment value of the product. From this I could remove the item from the shopping cart. OR Is there a better way to pass a variable through a graphic? I am hoping for the shopping cart contents to be just 1 form where users will have several options (change quantities, delete specific items). I can’t use a hidden field. Thank you for your help.

[PHP] Most popular word sorting
Is it possible in PHP to sort an array by most frequently occurring word / phrase, 2nd most frequently occurring, third, etc. An example array is: Array ( [1] => Parable [2] => Mustard [3] => Seed [4] => Parable [5] => Good [6] => Samaritan [7] => Parable [8] => Workers [9] => Vineyard [10] => Parable [11] => Lost [12] => Sheep [13] => Parable [14] => Lost [15] => Coin [16] => Parable [17] => Prodigal [18] => Parable [19] => Sower [20] => Parable [21] => Weeds [22] => Parable [23] => Hidden [24] => Treasure [25] => Parable [26] => Parable [27] => Wedding [28] => Banquet [29] => Parable [30] => Virgins [31] => Parable [32] => Bags [33] => Gold [34] => Parable [35] => Yeast ) The most popular word is “Parable”.

[PHP] Opening Multiple Files
Hi Everyone
I am trying to load an HTML book into mySQL. The book was distributed with
each chapter being it’s own HTML file.
The only way I know how to open a file is by specifying the file name. Such as:
$myFile = "B01C001.htm";
$lines = file($myFile);
foreach ($lines as $line_num => $theData) {
Is there a way PHP will open each file in the directory ending in “.htm”, one
file at a time, without me specifying the file name?
When the file is open I need the FOREACH (above) to parse the content which
ends with an “INSERT INTO” for a mySQL table.
Thank you in advance for any help you are able to give me.

Is there a way to only change accented characters and not HTML (Example: ) The syntax echo htmlentities( stripslashes(mysql_result($whats_new_result,0,"message")) ) .

[PHP] RSS Feed Accented Characters
I am trying to set up an RSS Feed in the Spanish language using a PHP cron job.
I am unsure of how to deal with accented letters.
An example:
This syntax:
" . htmlentities("El Versículo del Día") .
"\r\n";
?>
Outputs:
El Versículo del Día
When I use an RSS Feed validator I receive the error message
This feed does not validate.
a.. line 24, column 20: XML parsing error: :24:20: undefined entity
I suspect the “;” is the issue, although it is needed for the accented letters.
If I don’t use htmlentities() the accented characters can’t be viewed, they
become a “?” How should I proceed?

Make sure you have ...

is a UTF-8 encoded file. Also, if you ejecting HTTP headers, make sure
that they say the encoding is UTF-8 and not a codepage.
Go UTF-8 everywhere.

The byte sequence that is being received is just 0xED.
php -r "file_put_contents('a.rss',
file_get_contents('http://www.elversiculodeldia.info/peticiones-de-rezo-rss.xml'));"
This is NOT UTF-8 encoded data, but is ISO-8859-1 Latin-1 (most likely).
So as I see it you have 1 choice.
Either use as the XML tag
or convert the encoded data to UTF-8.
It also means that the data in the sql server is NOT UTF-8 and will
need to be converted also.
I would recommend doing that first.
That will mean reading the data as ISO-8859-1 and converting it to
UTF-8 and then saving it again.
I'd also be looking at the app that inputs the data into the DB initially.
To convert the text, here are 2 examples. I'm sure there are more ways.
$iso_text = 'El Versículo del Día: Pray For Others: Incoming Prayer
Requests';
$utf_8_text = utf8_encode($iso_text);
var_dump($iso_text, $utf_8_text);
$utf_8_text = iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', $iso_text);
var_dump($iso_text, $utf_8_text);
?>
outputs ...
string(63) "El Vers퀀culo del D퀀a: Pray For Others: Incoming Prayer Requests"
string(65) "El Versículo del Día: Pray For Others: Incoming Prayer Requests"
string(63) "El Vers퀀culo del D퀀a: Pray For Others: Incoming Prayer Requests"
string(65) "El Versículo del Día: Pray For Others: Incoming Prayer Requests"
notice that the correct strings are 2 bytes longer?
The í is encoded as 0xC3AD or U+00ED.

$email_body .= "VAL: " . $val . "\r\n";

"Action"

I'm not sure what's going on with your program, exactly. Here's what I
tried:
start script<<
$val) {
$$key = $val; // do not know what this is supposed to do here...
$email_body .= wordwrap("KEY: " . $key . "\n",70,"\n");
$email_body .= wordwrap("VAL: " . $val . "\n",70,"\n");
$email_body .= "\n";
}
print_r($email_body);
mail( 'tamara@localhost' , "Test Pipe To Program" , $email_body );
end script<<
(Note: according to http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php:
"Each line should be separated with a LF (\n). Lines should not be
larger than 70 characters."
Which is why I added the wordwrap on each line and terminated the
lines with "\n" instead of "\r\n".)
Calling the script, print_r showed the string as expected:
start output<<
tamara@caesar:~/$ curl 'http://localhost/~tamara/testmail.php?a=1&b=2&c=3'
KEY: a
VAL: 1
KEY: b
VAL: 2

A sample of what ledger_select_gifi.js outputs is as follows --- the PHP
script it accesses queries a table and then echo's this to the screen.
Bank Charges (8715: Bank Charges)
Benevolent Fund (9270: Other Expenses)
Computer Equipment / Software (1774: Computer
Equipment / Software)
Office Expenses (8811: Office stationery and
supplies)
Our Advertising Campaign Expenses (8521:
Advertising)
Photocopying (8810: Photocopying)
Postage (9275: Delivery, Freight and Express)
Telephone Expenses (9225: Telephone and
Communications)
Web Site Hosting (9152: Internet)
The source code for ledger_select_gifi.js is:
var xmlHttp2
function showGIFI(str)
{
xmlHttp2=GetXmlHttpObject();
if (xmlHttp2==null)
{
alert ("Your browser does not support AJAX!");
return;
}
var url="ledger_gifi_details.php";
url=url+"?transaction_type="+str;
url=url+"&sid="+Math.random();
xmlHttp2.onreadystatechange=stateChanged2;
xmlHttp2.open("GET",url,true);
xmlHttp2.send(null);
}
function stateChanged2 () {
if (xmlHttp2.readyState == 4) {
document.getElementById("txtGIFI").innerHTML=xmlHttp2.responseText;
} else {
//alert(xmlHttp.readyState)
}
}
function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
var xmlHttp=null;
try
{
// Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
catch (e)
{
// Internet Explorer
try
{
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e)
{
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
}
return xmlHttp;
}
The form which submits the ledger entry is this:

Ledger Account
Supplier
Advertiser Account
Account Reference:
Account holder information will be listed here.
Transaction Type:

Donation

U.S. Funds

Dollar Value:

Bank Account Reference:

TD Canada Trust
Cheque Reference:
Bank Account Balance:
$
Notepad:
The form processes and goes into this INSERT INTO statement:
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `ledger_entry`
(`reference` ,`account_source` ,`account_reference` ,`transaction_type`
,`gifi_reference` ,`transaction_date` ,`foreign_currency_dollar_value`
,`foreign_currency_identifier` ,`foreign_currency_exchange_rate`
,`dollar_value` ,`bank_account_reference` ,`cheque_reference`
,`bank_account_balance` ,`created_by` ,`notepad` ,`entry_date`)VALUES (NULL ,
'$account_source', '$account_reference', '$transaction_type',
'$gifi_reference', '$transaction_date', '$foreign_currency_dollar_value',
'$foreign_currency_identifier', '$foreign_currency_exchange_rate',
'$dollar_value', '$bank_account_reference', '$cheque_reference',
'$bank_account_balance', '$record', '$notepad', '$entry_date');");
$created_ledger_record_reference = mysql_insert_id();
mysql_close();
All the variables, but the two ajax ones ( $account_reference &
$gifi_reference ) make it into the table.
I initially just had 1 ajax set up ( ledger_select_account.js ) . When
there was just the one the value of $account_reference was inserted into
the ledger_entry table. At that point I was still displaying all of the
possible GIFI codes which could be selected.
I am now only wanting to display the GIFI codes which are relevant.

[PHP] Date math
I have this math equation this list helped me generate a few weeks ago. The purpose is to calculate how many days have passed between 2 dates. Right now my output ($difference) is 93.958333 days. I am finding this a little weird. Does anyone see anything wrong with the way this is calculated: $date1 = strtotime($date1); (March 21st 2008) $date2 = strtotime($date2); (December 18th 2007) echo $date1 => 1206072000 echo $date2 => 1197954000 #86400 is 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours (in other words 1 days worth of seconds) $factor = 86400; $difference = (($date1 - $date2) / $factor); -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Date math
Could someone then help me modify the PHP script so I won't have this
timezone issue? I don't understand from looking at the date page on the
PHP web site the change(s) I need to make. Thanks, Ron

[PHP] Help with a foreach statement
I am writing a shopping cart. Products assigned in the following fashion: $_SESSION['selection'][$product]=$quantity; I am wanting to display the list of products in the shopping cart in a list for the user to see as they continue shopping. I put the SESSION variable into $cart $cart = $_SESSION['selection']; then I start the foreach and this is where I get messed up. I am trying to ECHO the following syntax to the screen with each selected product: The part I need help with is to write the foreach loop to give me $product (so I may query the database to find out the product name) and the $quantity (so I may show the user what they are purchasing). The part that is messing me up is that this is an array. My ECHO statement should look like this: echo "" . $product_name . " - " . $quantity .
