Re: [PHP] check unread messages in a forum
Hi, Just store the user's last log-in date/time either in the database or in cookie. On the next log-in "select * messages where creationDate > $userLastLoginDate" and highlight those selected.

Re: [PHP] Window/Page/Browser/Screen width

Re: [PHP] using variable ..help
Remon, Your code works correct, cause you coded it this way as it should go through the array and output every element in the array into one line. If I got your idea correctly - you probably want you rows to be of two different colors. You may do it simplier way: blablabbaba The "$index&1" construct will return either 0 or 1 for even and odd rows, so the proper color will be selected.

Re: [PHP] Fun with Binary Numbers
Hey Dave, It is much easier to use hex numbers when working with bits. Thus, the mask for the first (left) "quartet" would be 0xF000, second 0x0F00, third 0x00F0 and fourth 0x000F. To apply the mask use binary AND operator, which is "&" in case of PHP. After applying the mask you need to "shift-right" (another binary operator) your number to the certain number of bits you want to omit: $result = ($yourNumber & 0x0F00) >> 8; // for the third "quartet" Hope this helps, Stas - Original Message - From: "David Buerer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 3:11 PM Subject: [PHP] Fun with Binary Numbers > Here's a question, > > Say I have a binary number like this > > 1101 0100 0110 0110 > > And I want to pull out of the binary number the third quartet (is that the > right word) > > I want to know how to apply the mask > > > > to the number above so that the result would be > 0100 > > Likewise, given > the number: 1101 0100 0110 0110 > and the mask > the result 0110 > > I suppose this is the same algorithm used to separate the host from the node > address given an IP address and a subnet mask.

Why not? Sending this to the client should do the job:
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');

Re: [PHP] PHP_AUTH_USER
Yes, Matt, you were right about tracking the authorized state with a session. I actually thought about same thing: keeping a variable somewhere which will help to decide whether to send those "Authenticate" headers or not - just didn't realize you meant the same thing. :) And a little excerpt from w3.org proving the point: "HTTP Authentication has the addition problem that there is no mechanism available to the server to cause the browser to 'logout'; that is, to discard its stored credentials for the user. This presents a problem for any web application that may be used from a shared user agent. Requests for how to force 'logout' appear almost daily in the netnews html and cgi authoring groups, and are one of the most common support questions received by Agranat Systems from their customers developing embedded systems web interfaces."

Re: [PHP] Umm... Uh-oh
The easiest and safest way to get around this problem is to place all your
include files outside of your webroot directory (say one level up), so they
will be accessible locally via includes, but NOT accessible via http.
