[PHP] How to choose a crypt-standard in crypt()?

2002-09-16 Thread Uwe Birkenhain

Hi,
is it possible to tell php which crypting it should use in crypt()?

My problem:
The program is running on a linux-server (of course) and there is DES
available and MD5; crypt() uses MD5.
At home I'm developing on a win98 machine and there seems only DES to be
available.

Of course it would be usefull to use both times the same encryption - but
how to tell the server to use DES??

Thank's for any help,
Uwe

[PHP] Handling of constants in strings

2002-07-01 Thread Uwe Birkenhain

Hi,
when reading about constants (define('MY_CONSTANT', 'my value'))
I got convinced that they are pretty usefull.

But now it seems to me, that I can't use them inside a string:
$my_string = "This is MY_CONSTANT and I love it!";

but that I must take them out:
$my_string = "This is" . MY_CONSTANT . "and I love it!";

Isn't there a way around?
And must I suspect more strange things to come with constants?

greetings,
Uwe

Hi,
I just made the same (even on the same weekend) - it's working now.
What exactly is going on and what have you done?

With me one problem was (e.g.) that I forgot to set the document root
properly in httpd.conf.

Thank's Richard,
you are right: it's not such a big deal - I was just surprised that I can't
integrate constants as variables.

A question - since english is not my first language - what do you mean with
>It's not all that common to bury constants in strings

Is something bad about it?
I would e. g. define our name with the formatting tags as a constant or
parts of query clauses which will never change but are often used.

Greetings,
Uwe

T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in ..."

$name = "My $row['name']";

Why?

Hallo Matt,
thank you for the explanation and for the manual-link!

But - correct if I'm wrong - that has been possible before! Or not?

[PHP] How to pass unknown number of variables to a function?

2002-07-04 Thread Uwe Birkenhain

Hi everybody on this rainy morning!

My problem:
I give the user a form with a list of options with checkboxes.
The list is long and not predictable - the values change always.
I want to put the checked values (or all, that doesn't matter) in an array,
to pass it to my function.

How can I write those keys and values in an array?

I suppose it will be best done with JS - but since I don't know JS ...
Has anybody a ready solution?

Thank's a lot!

Uwe

Yeah,
you are right about that!

But since you have to take the constant out of the string (with {} or ". .")
it shouldn't be a problem to use constants.
Correct?

Re: [PHP] How to pass unknown number of variables to a function?

2002-07-05 Thread Uwe Birkenhain

Thank's for the help everybody!

I used something different (a little like this nice one from Terence (thank
you!) but with JS:

I named my form 'test' and included a hidden field 'collector'.
At the checkboxes the name is the value I need. The box, when checked, gets
the value 1.

In the boxtags I added:
 onclick=add_values($name)
where name is the value I want.

Then I wrote this little script:
 $js = "
 function add_values(val) {
   document.test.'collector'.value += val;
   document.test.'collector'.value += \",\";
 }
 ";

It produces a comma separated list in the field 'collector' whith only the
checked values.
When sending the form, only this field is transmitted. This is just what I
wanted and it works fine.

Uwe

Simply the best editor the world has seen so far!

What makes development tools better than a good editor? (serious question)
