Re: [PHP] PHP & Java ?
I assume by java you mean some permutation of javascript. PHP runs server-side which means all the PHP processing is done before it is sent to the client. What the client recieves has nothing to do with PHP, that is all effectively "removed" ie parsed by the PHP engine. The client just recieves HTML and javascript etc. The javascript the runs "client-side" ie on the client, separate from the server and its PHP. Long and short of it is that no, what the PHP does won't effect the javascript. The only possibility is that in adding your database stuff you somehow altered the javascript part of the code, or the html it refers to. I'ld back track and check carefully if I was you. Templates won't help directly, except that if you find one which does what yuo want then obviously you know that will work. Personally, I prefer writing my own stuff for my own needs.

[PHP] problem with PHP and .htaccess
Hi, I have a quite complex site organised into a series of subdirectories, all referrencing one single include directory, specified by a global variable required on each page. This file has sym links to all the directories, and I've done a test output so that is not the cause of the problem. What I'm trying to do is this, put a .htaccess over the whole lot so that only users who are part of the pilot can get in.The site already uses authentication for certain areas, and since this is a pilot I don't want to put any code in just for that, a .htaccess should be able to do everthing I want in theory. my include line loks like this include($includedir."header.inc"); however when I create the .htaccess file (see below) then the page fails to include the file and prints the following error message Warning: Failed opening 'http://www.mydomain.com/pilot/include/header.inc' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/sites/site4/web/pilot/index.php on line 7 and then loads the rest of the page. The .htaccess file I've been using is as follows. Authname pilot Authtype Basic order allow,deny allow from all require group site4 I'm not very comfortable wit h.htaccess, not something I've used very much. I am fairly sure that it isn't the last linethe exact same file worked fine doing, say phpMyAdmin, with the only difference being that phpMyAdmin has all its files in one directory.

Re: [PHP] Search a string between
The problem is that it matches the first foo with the first /foo and the
second foo witht eh /foo ( andmatches those properly) but it also matches
the first foo with the second /foo (thisnk of the logic of the regex).
What you need to do is rather than specify any character (.*) specify any
character which is not ie something like ^[]*

[PHP] Search engines and mod_rewrite
hi all, On one of my sites we make extensive use of variable passed through the url, particullarly for browsing the main content of the site which is organised into main and sub categories, eg browse.php?maincat=Weather&subcat=sunny kind of thing. I understand from colleagues who know much on these things that public search engines bots (eg google) stop parsing thru that part of the site when they reach a '?' (I could well be wrong on this). a way around this that I have heard is installing the mod_rewrite module in apache and mapping browse/weather/sunny to browse.php?maincat=weather&subcat=sunny. Would this in fact even fix the problem? Its a hard thing to test! Does anyone have any experience using this? And what is the advice from people on how best to get google&co to spider your site and find your content effectively?

[PHP] Multiple emails
Hi all, I have a list of email addresses pulled from a database and I want to send out an email to all of them (they are the registered users of this particular site). For the first issue of the newsletter I expect to have about 4000 people, but that will probably go up significantly in future issues. I can do the sending email normally and extraction of addresses, but my question was really a more general one. Is there anything I should be doing different when sending to so many? Is it better to send a load of addresses altogether (in bcc for example) for each mail call? how many? or is it better to use a mail call for each address? I did a few quick speed test and mail seemed to be very fast. I guess this way would have the advantage of being able to personallise for each person. And is there a possibility that my mails would be blocked my some kind of spam filtering system? Its not I might add! Any advice and past experience would be very welcome. BTW, my system is apache on linux, php 4.0.4pl1 running on a cobalt raq.

well when you were using echo $name to test then you were outputting html,

errors then you wouldn't have been warned about it..check that nothing else

for ignoring this. header() is the only reliable way to do it!

Re: [PHP] run a fuction at each intervals
this sort of works.. I did a similar thing on a site.. but it *really* is
not what HTTP is designed for + you start to get all kinds of things... main
problem being it won't execute code afterwards to then.. if, for example, it
is displayed in a table then that won't work + some browsers may not display
a page until it is "finished", it the HTTP session is over.. which would
mean this wouldn't work.

Re: [PHP] search
Rather than trying to break it into an array, you can examine the rightmost character as follows $search="dogs"; if(substr($search,-1)=='s') $search=substr($search,0,-1); This checks if the last character is an s and if it is then set search to the same string but without the s.. note, does not handle multiple word queries.. for this you would need to break the string into words (something you would probably have to do anyway) and do this for each of those...

[PHP] poor HTML syntax crashing (!) netscape
Hi guys, I have an interesting situation at the moment... my (slightly sloppy) HTML is obviously missing a closing tag here or there but displays fine in opera, ie etc however when I try and view it netscape (4.x, windows, linux, any platform) netscape just nice and cleanly crashes!! If anyone knows of a bug which would cause netscape to do this then please let me know. The code in question is very dynamic (what I mean is that it can vary by quite a lot depending upon many many different things). Its qutie hard to debug, especially seeing as the page returned is browser specific.. the one thing I have ruled out is that it is JavaScript.. I removed all of that and no change. Any tips will be helpful... in the meanwhile I'm going to go thru all my functions to attempt to work out what is doing it *yawn* TIA Tom. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Removing Invalid Users
You can check that the *format* of the address is valid by using regular expressions.. look at the regular expression pages on php.net (especially the users comments.. they do exactly that!) As for checking whether it is a real email or not.. you can't test this without actually sending them an email (and even then you can't be sure)... if you could check then it would be too nice for spammers! What you can do in addition is to check that the domain is a valid domain (ping?)

Re: [PHP] get a screen resolution
The browser detection etc. capabilities all come from the HTTP_USER_AGENT variable.. from this it is possible to interpret browser, platform and a number of other things. Unfortunately screen resolution is not one of these. PHP itself has no way of detecting anything about the client, only what it is told (if that makes any sense) The only possibility is for JavaScript to "tell" PHP about it..ie.. when a link within the site is pressed (say from a splash screen or a login box) then have javascript append on the resolution to the redirect url, from which php will then know HTH,Tom - Original Message - From: "Marc van Duivenvoorde" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Php general lijst" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 06, 2001 12:24 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] get a screen resolution > I know I can do it with javascript, but if possible I'd like to do it with php. > > Marc van Duivenvoorde > > At 02:12 PM 7/6/2001 +0300, you wrote: > >JavaScript > > > > > -Original Message- > > > From: Marc van Duivenvoorde [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > Sent: 6 iulie 2001 14:18 > > > To: Php general lijst > > > Subject: [PHP] get a screen resolution > > > > > > > > > I'm trying to make a small browser and screen resolution > > > script for my > > > site, the browser part isn't a problem, but I can't find a > > > function for > > > screen resolutions, does anyone know whether such a function exists. > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > > > Marc van Duivenvoorde > > > > > > > > > -- > > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] Parsing Error
To expand on that.. printf is short for print-formatted... its a function
inherited from c (I think) which basically allows your to format variable
for the display within the function, eg if you had $x=1.2243 then you could,
for example, use ptinf to only display it as 1.22
To cut a long story short, Larry was right in his advice.. just thought I'ld
stick my ha'penny's worth in too.. give you an idea why!

Re: [PHP] Mysql Help #2
Depends what is to happen to the array afterwards, but in general no.
An interesting thing is to put timing method calls around a block of code in
question, you will find something like this (depending upon size of db)
takes somehting like 0.005 seconds. Timing things can be useful measures of
a pages overhead (one page on a site I hvae currently takes almost 2 seconds

Re: [PHP] php date bug ?
Just to throw one more unwelcome cat amongst the pigeons..
Different countries/time zones have summer time, I think almost all
countries do, but the actual days when they switch vary from country (yes I
know, bloody nusiance isn't it?)
I know as an example of this theres about three weeks of the year where new

[PHP] 404's and requesting page
hi all, I'm using an apache directive to redirect 404's to one of my own pages, and i was wondering it is possible find out what the request was that caused 404.

If the 404 came from a link then I can find out the page with the link, but that isn't what interests me. system: apache, linux, php 4.0.6 Anyone got any ideas?

Very odd.. I checked REQUEST_URI and outputed phpinfo() as you suggested and nowhere does it say the name of the file that was requested.. is this a server configuration issue?

Re: [PHP] 404's and requesting page
If anyone is interested I fixed this problem in a sudden (rare) moment of inspiration... in the htaccess statement I had put ErrorDocument 404 http://www.mysite.com/error/error.php rather than /error/error.php This caused apache to basically start a separate request rather then pass it on thru, which explains why the variables were as they were and why the status was 401 rather than 404. Obvious really when one thinks about it. Thanks for you advice tho tim, much appreciated.

[PHP] FYI: PHP scripts that return files
Hi All, This is something I have working nicely now, and I know theres been posts on here before without any satisfactory answer, but this eeems to cover all. When you have a script that returns a file, you obviously want to return a file which looks right. Ths initially simple looking way of doing this is by using the "Content Disposition" header. This however has many problems.. when calling a script say getfile.php?name=my_file which looks up in the database to find that file and return it, a lot of browsers may (intermittently) prompt you to open/save getfile.php.. you then have to open this (sometimes twice) to be prompted to download my_file.zip. The solution... sadly its not a PHP one. On apache theres an extention called mod_rewrite (there are equivalents for other servers) that basically uses regular expression to rewrite urls (which can be useful in soo many situations). using this you can specify a rule something like RewriteRule /downloads/([^/.]+).zip getfile.php?name=$1 which basically says that if the user requests the url of something like /downloads/silly.zip then it is redirected to getfile.php?name=$1..neat, huh? Remove the Content Disposition line from your php script and it will all work wonderfully well!! Also good for DB stored images you don't want to appear as .php! hope this helps some people...

Re: [PHP] I HAVE A PROBLEM HERE...
Generally I would expect one of two possibilities in this scenario.. either a) you are passing thru the url (limited I believe to about 255 characters)...if so use a form with METHOD=post or b) you are storing in a DB and the size of the field in the db is too small (in general most rdbms' will just cut the string off to fit without any warning). Have you tried doing a dump of $HTTP_POST_VARS and $HTTP_GET_VARS?

Re: [PHP] How to post unknown amount of data ?
The best way of doing this is to name the fields catid[]
The [] means that they are inserted into an array in the order they appear
on the page, so on the page with deals results you just have to cycle
through the array.
As a side point, there is no way of telling what has been modified and what
is not (well without comparing the variables to the db again).. so it is
usually quicker just to update the whole.lot.
HTH, Tom

Re: [PHP] PHP in corporate settings?
In my experience Scandinavia (well nordic really, can't forget finland) and germany (and a few other european countries...notably not england) are much more open to open source (no pun intended) to open source and the like.. their concerns are sensible ones.

[PHP] cropping a string
hi all I was wondering if anyone had found a solution to the problem of cropping a string to a certain length...however a certain length based upon the actual "size" of it. By this I don't mean after n characters, or even after m words (have a function for this already)... what I'm looking for is function that will take a string and crop it down to a length dependant upon its size, ie. it would treat a w different to a l (apologies to those reading this on a monospaced client). I'm guessing such a function would take type of font (say, serif ot times) and the desired length in "standard" characters and then compare the string, translating each character into a length comparative with the standard character. I appreciate tha because of the nature of the medium that it becomes difficult to control how things appear on browsers, and that it would be nigh on impossible to make an *exact* function, all I'm looking for is something rough and ready which is better then counting chars.

In addition to this you can place the file out of the web tree PHP can, AFAIK, include files based on their absolute file path, eg /home/config.inc.

[PHP] Files from db vs. filesystem (was MySql or flat database using PHP)
Andrew/All, Following on from this I am interested to find out some performance comparisons/opinions of storing files in a db vs. storing in the file system and being redirected by php I think I've heard from elsewhere that file system is more effecient. The sistuation storing is pretty much a "one-off" activity, but accesses will be frequent. Files are small, ranging from 30k to 250k. Anyone have any comments/benchmarks? My attempts at testing the two have been sloppy to say the least.

Re: [PHP] class variables and methods
There was a long discussion on this in a java forum I am part of, the
product of which was basically this...
1. All variables in a class are best left to be private (not sure PHP has
this, but the programmer can work the principle in mind.. that is only the
class can access them).
2. Generic variable access/store methods should be avoided - the principle
is that the internal variable can change name etc. without the external
interface having to worry about it.
3. Method to set/fetch each variable - it may seem a counter intuitive way
of doing it, especially when it is possible to do something "nice" like the
set method below. This seems a very "un-web" way.. and this is where a
difference comes in. Web is not inherently OO, and a lot of the practices of
web programmers are at conflict with more "traditional" apps programmers.
Web tends to go for speed and simplicity, rather than good design etc.
4. Some situations could theoretically arise where it is necessary to set an
unknown amount of variables within a class, however it would be far more
sensible to put these into an array.
In summary, in good OOP you should have a method for every get/set operation
on variables that is required, using arrays as appropiate.
Going back to the original point on whether or not to access the variable
directly or build a set function in, they are both as bad as each other,
just about. They both access variables directly and require the outside
program to have knowledge of variable names etc. and it doesn't allow for
checking for "correct" values being set ( a useful thin with the above
method)
Hope this helps, let me know if I can provide any more advice.
Tom

I would definately agree with the points about psotgresql having better functionallity, but it doesn't solely come down to availablility. MySQL is a simpler RDBMS.. this doesn't mean it is strictly "worse" than postgresql. In comes to one of those fundamental questions in IT... best tool for the job. What MySQl is good at is handling small (in both byte and row sense) tables which are frequently accessed, eg user authenitcatino. At the other extreme are the big boys of DB2, Oracle etc which can handle an awful lot and cope which much more complex structures and heavy usage. postgresql, IMHO, is a few steps from the MySQL extreme towards DB2. What I basically mean is that postgre has some features and functionallity which make it more suited to some tasks, and mysql has a place too. > > > > > > /* Chris Lambert, CTO - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > WhiteCrown Networks - More Than White Hats > > Web Application Security - www.whitecrown.net > > */ > > > > > | > > | > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] class variables and methods
There is a distinct chance of many difference schools of thought... my
background is Java (mostly at IBM.. so of course could be very different)..
but all the java gurus I've known have worked on the principle private
variable and public methods.. declaring all variables (except constants..
php doesn't really have a comparably concept) as private and always using
methods.

Re: [PHP] Re: Shuffle Cards Function
I could be wrong in thinking this, but wasn't the purpose of the presented
function to shuffle a deck in a deliberately imperfecatly random way? ie.
mimicking a human shuffler beats why one would want to do this as an
academic excersize, but hey, I like it ;-)

Re: [PHP] Countries and ip addresses
It's not possible to be assured of doing this properly for the following reason.. 1. not all hosts translate to IP address 2. Soem host names are often meaningless (eg .com) The way to do it is basically this 1. use gethostbyaddr() (http://www.php.net/gethostbyaddr) to do a reverse DNS from IP to host name 2. use a regex to match everything to the right of the last . 3.

[PHP] Shell version of php
Hi guys, This arose trying to install php-egg, altho thats not what this msg is really about. For it to run I need to have "a shell version" running... what exactly is this and how do I go about installing it? I have php installed (I think) as a module.. and by my understanding this is necessary for certain functions to run can I have both co-existing? I guess what I want is a copy of php running completely separate to apache, ie as a standalone app. any help much appreciated!!!

Re: [PHP] how to connect to php from vb
php can act as a server in many respects, it can handle sockets, some streams etc. so the the answer is yes, you can connect to it from anything. (for instance I'm currently building a plugin to Lightwave that connects to php)... programs commonly use http to connect (it's simple then designing your own protocol in most cases... eg yahoo messenger). The question is much more a VB question.. I know VB can connect to the web, couldn't tell you how tho, try asking in a vb forum. If writing in a normal programming language there is libwww from w3c (w3.org) that can do it all for you (this is what we use) - Original Message - From: "sagar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "php" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 5:19 PM Subject: [PHP] how to connect to php from vb hi, can i connect to php from a vb appliation. should this be asked elsewhere (if so pl let me know) /sagar -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Determining IP address
Just to bring that point up again for those in the know, IP addresses are easy to spoof, in other words make it appear that it comes from elsewhere.

[PHP] Web based POP mail client
Hi All, I've found a plethora of scripts to do web based email, but the quality seems to vary greatly. I'm looking for something which gives a mail2web/hotmail/yahoo style interface to a pop mail account but is written in such a way that I can easily extend and integrate it into my iste (I've seen a couple where the code is amazingly messy) Does anyone have any experience of any of the scripts available they could share?

Re: [PHP] PHP Stress Testing.
I agree with the point about the spec of machine... a lot of comparisons are made using machine where the spec of the machine ends up being the bottleneck. Also, PHP is more tolerant then say JSP in the code you write, it is possible to write some really bad php apps which work albeit very ineffeciantly and by the same token some very good php apps.

Re: [PHP] ordering a query
Just to expand slightly on this answer... think back to days at school, you order works as so aardvark, abbey, accoustic, ie you compare rightmost letters, if they match then compare the next letter along until you find a difference... this is what your sort is doing. It doesn't think 1 and 10 are the same, it compares the first digit, sees they are the same and postitions based on the second digit.

Fw: [PHP] Re: Suggesting a file name.
This really doesn't work well to say the least... I've had endless problems
with it, and basically just using headers there is no great way to to it.
The best solution I found is to use the mod_rewrite module in apache to map
a url onto the script.

Re: [PHP] Re: newbie looking to sync access with MySQL
Thanks for that helpful email george, it's something I've been looking at as well. In a situation I'm tackling now I've rewritten the core part of the access such that it is dependant upon data recieved from the server, rather than the server being dependant upon data from access. So far it appears to be working much better, but I would be interested to know your opinions.

Re: [PHP] URLencode
Simplest way is to do this
$string = "my string";
$string=urlencode(str_replace(" ","+",$string));
ie use str_replace to manually replace spaces with +, urlencode then won't
do anything further to it

Re: [PHP] HTTP POST..
PHP is probably compiled as a module.. if you want to be able to compile php
to use on command line you need to compile a second version (yes you can

Re: [PHP] displaing news
rough outline of what you would need to do.
this is pseudocode.. I'm too tired to write correct php :)
$is_first=true;
whlie(get next result entry) {
if($is_first) {
$last-date=date of this entry;
$this-date=date of this entry;
$is_first=false;
}
if($this-date==$last-date) {
just put the article after the current one
} else {
start a new section, displaying date etc
}
$last-date=$this-date;
}

Subject: [PHP] displaing news
Hey all!
I have a slight problem I was hoping you could help me with. I wrote earlier
but no response (so one last try). I'm writing a little news script for my
site, and well here is the scenario:
The SHORT:
I have news,headline,author,date,time,etc. all in a table in a mysql db,
that I use mysql_fetch_array to pull out of the db and display on a page. It
shows everything fine, but I was wondering, if there is more than one news
entry per day, how can I display 1 date above the news entries for that day.
(Instead of a seperate date for each news entry).
The LONG:
I have 2 tables in a mysql database, one holds author information (name,
email, password, etc.)
The other table holds the news that they submit (news, date, time, headline,
etc.)
Now I am trying to display the news on a page, ordered of course by date (or
id in this case) and well i'm using the code below.
" .
$myrow["headline"] . "
Posted by mailto:"; .
$myrow["email"] . ">" .
$myrow["author"] . " at " . $myrow["time"] . $myrow["$tod"] .
"" . $myrow["news"] .
"";
}
?>
So the results would look something like:
$Headline
Posted by $author at $time
$news
and it would of course just repeat, for however many entries there is.
Now the problem:
If I enter 4 news posts a day, I want to show 1 date above all the news
posts. (Instead of 1 date next to each news post) Any idea how I can do this
(In easy to understand lingo/code please)?
Thanks!
Nate

Re: [PHP] displaing news
first (quick) glance looks fine... what error are you getting?
you didn't specify username/password for your mysql connection. you may
be required to do that..
