[PHP] Wildcard fromURL
Hi :)
I want to place a particular image on a page based on the URL of the page. I
have a variety of standard patterns to match in the URL. For instance;
I would want all the following pages to load an image named something like
foo_2.jpg
mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=2&page_id=xxx
mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=200&page_id=xxx
mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=215&page_id=xxx
mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=20001&page_id=xxx
mod.php?mod=site_map&menu=20010
And would want all the following pages to load an image named something like
foo_1.jgp
mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=1&page_id=xxx
submit.php&menu=100
mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=10002&page_id=xxx
In all cases, I know for sure that in the URL I will find menu=x*
Can I set something up like;
if(menu = '2*') { $ImgNo = '2'; }
if(menu = '1*') { $ImgNo = '1'; }
if(menu = '') { $ImgNo = '3'; }
echo = "";

Re: [PHP] Wildcard fromURL
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the pointer :) I found some other interesting reference and ideas
on using this in the manual. Now I just need to provide some error checking
in case $_GET['menu'] isn't defined in the URL (that should be pretty
straight fwd) and in case it is defined, but a corresponding image doesn't
exist (in this case because a user could potentially add a menu item to the
db for which there is no pre-existing graphic). That might prove a little
tougher. I guess I could define an array of available images and check
$_GET['menu'] against that, and specify a default if there isn't a match.
Cheers,
Verdon

[PHP] Purging old files from directories
Hi :) I need to write a script that will scan/read a given directory's contents and delete files older than a certain date. Ideally, this will be a script that runs via cron once a week and deletes all files it finds in the directory older than 2 weeks from the current date. I do currently have scripts running via cron and that's no problem. I'm not sure where to begin with the other components I'm not looking to be spoon-fed, but I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction to start researching.

[PHP] Reformatting phone number string from user input
Hi :) I've been working on reformatting a phone number string from user input via a form field. Ultimately, my goal is to format all phone numbers in the same way regardless of whether a user inputs '(123) 456-7890', '123-456-7890', '123.456.7890', etc. before I insert them into a db. I know I've got a ways to go, but so far, after trying a few things I found in the manual, I'm going in this direction... $patterns[0] = "/\(/"; $patterns[1] = "/\)/"; $patterns[2] = "/-/"; $replacements[0] = ""; $replacements[1] = ""; $replacements[2] = " "; $phone = preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $phone); This will change '(123) 456-7890' to '123 456 7890' which is what I am after. I'm just wondering if there is a better or more elegant way to handle this before I start trying to cover all the bases? Note: I found a variety of examples in the mailing list archives, but none of them seem to use the method above. Hmmm, does that mean I'm taking the long way around ;) I know I could just copy some examples from there, but I'm trying to use this as a learning opportunity and there seems to be more than one way to skin the cat (no offence to cat lovers ;) TIA for any advice, Verdon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Reformatting phone number string from user input
Yes,
I found some examples in the archives that measured a clean string and
formatted it according to whether it found 4 (is an error), 7 (xxx-), 10
(xxx-xxx-) or 11 (x-xxx-xxx-). I'm going to work with this sort of
logic and standardize the format (or maybe just the length of string) before
inserting into my db. I haven't completely decided if it's better to store
1234567890 and format it on retrieval or to format it first and store
123-456-7890. I guess unless I plan to do math or something with the raw
data later (not too likely for a phone number), it probably doesn't make
much difference.
Thanks again :)

Re: [PHP] Reformatting phone number string from user input
Thanks John,
That does look a lot tidier. I tried a similar approach early on, but was
trying to specifically match '(' and ')' and was running into lots of
trouble with my syntax, in specific, properly escaping \( and \) so they
were not treated as paranthesis/operators/whatever. This is much simpler. I
like simple :)
Now I can focus on inserting a default area code, if the user does not ;)

[PHP] Nestled 'while's or 'for's or 'foreach's -- I'm lost
Hi, somewhat newbie warning :)
I'm trying to take a paged result set and divide it into two chunks for
displaying on the page. Basically making something that looks like a typical
thumbnail gallery. I'm limiting my result set to 6 records and want to
display it as 2 rows of 3 cells with a record in each cell. I've had no
trouble getting my result set, paging etc. I'm not having much luck
splitting my result into 2 chunks. I've tried nestling 'while' statements
with a number of arguments and either end up with no results or a loop that
seemingly never ends. That lead me to looking at some other apps which
seemed to use a variety of ways to achieve what I want. That lead me to
looking at 'for' and 'foreach' in the php manual. And that lead me to being
more confused than I was before I started ;) Sometimes there's just too many
ways to skin a cat, eh!
Below, I've include a rather lengthy bit of pseudo code that represents
basically where I'm at now. This particular version returns no results,
though I know it's just the nestled while's that are causing this. The
results are there. My research makes me think that I should replace the
nestled while's with 'foreach's. I was kind of hoping that before I spend a
few hours trying to puzzle out how to use the 'foreach's correctly that
somebody would venture an opinion as to whether or not that would be the way
to go.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Verdon

David, this is exactly what I was so poorly trying to get at ;) I just have
to consider my found result set of rows as array('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E',

[PHP] I wish I knew more about multi-dimensional arrays
Hi, please don't chuckle (too loudly) at my attempts to learn ;)
I'm trying to create what I think would be a multi-dimensional array from a
mysql result set, to use in some example code I got off this list last week.
The example renedring code I want to work with is...
");
for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof ($data); $i += $rowlength)
{
echo ("");
for ($j = 0; $j < $rowlength; $j++)
{
if (isset ($data[$i+$j]))
{
echo ("{$data[$i+$j]}");
} else {
echo (" ");
}
}
echo ("");
}
echo ("");
?>
I trying to create the $data array from my query results like this...
$sql = "select * from table limit 0,5";
$result = mysql_query ($sql);
$number = mysql_numrows ($result);
for ($x = 0; $x < sizeof (mysql_fetch_array($result)); $x ++) {
$data = implode (',',$result[$x]);
}
I had hoped this would get me the six arrays on the page (where I could then
extract the values). I've also tried a number of similar approaches but am
consistently getting six error messages on the page along the lines of
Warning : implode() [ function.implode ]: Bad arguments. in
I know I'm missing something basic and would appreciate any pointers.
Thanks,
Verdon

[PHP] Checking for existence of file
HI :)
I've got a function (crude but works) that checks for a value in the url and
then I call an image based on that value.
if (isset($_GET['menu'])) {
$img_pick = substr($_GET['menu'],0,1);
} else { $img_pick = "1"; }
echo "";
What I'd like to do is check the directory 'images' first to see if
'mast_$img_pick.jpg' exists and if it doesn't, call a different image such
as 'mast_default.jpg'. I'm sure this isn't hard, I'm just not sure how to
start.

[PHP] Dreaded expecting `T_VARIABLE' or... Error -- long post
Hi Apologies if this question has been answered before and I can't find it.
I have searched and although finding similar issues, I haven't been able to
fix.
I have a file that creates a search for and then is supposed to post to
itself to retriev results. When I add the first function (the search form)
everything seems OK. The page renders, the select menus are populated from
my mySQL db.
When I add the second function (the results). I start getting an error that
refers to a line number in my initial function that was previously OK. I
gather the error has something to do with syntax, but I can't find it.
I'll show some examples and then detail the error.
My intial code that creates the search form and works is:
PHP:
// Handles session initialization
include("open_session.php");
if(!isset($mainfile))
{
include("mainfile.php");
}
// Global configuration data
include("config.php");
// Generates page header
include ("header.php");
function sform() {
include("config.php");
$box_title = "Search Form";
$box_stuff = "";
$box_stuff .= "Search hints can go
here";
$box_stuff .= "
Search for:
CompanyCategoryCity
\n";
$cat_result = mysql_query("select cat, catkey, cattext, count(cat) AS
num_type FROM " . $table_prefix."users LEFT JOIN
" . $table_prefix."users_cat ON cat=catkey GROUP BY cattext ORDER BY
cattext");
$categories = mysql_fetch_array($cat_result);
if ($categories) {
while ($c2 = mysql_fetch_array($cat_result)) {
$num_type = $c2[num_type];
$box_stuff .= "$c2[cattext] (
$num_type)";
}
}
$box_stuff .= "
\n";
$city_result = mysql_query("select city, count(city) AS num_type FROM
" . $table_prefix."users GROUP BY city ORDER BY city");
$cities = mysql_fetch_array($city_result);
if ($cities) {
while ($c3 = mysql_fetch_array($city_result)) {
$num_type3 = $c3[num_type];
$box_stuff .= "$c3[city] ($num
_type3)";
}
}
$box_stuff .= "\n";
$box_stuff .= "
Note: searching for all can produce a large
page!
";
thememainbox($box_title, $box_stuff);
include("footer.php");
}
switch($op) {
case "search":
search();
break;
default:
sform();
break;
}
Now, when I add anything for the function search() , even a simple message
printed to the page such as:
PHP:
function search()
{
include('config.php');
global ;
$box_title = "Search Results";
$box_stuff .= "Results here";
thememainbox($box_title, $box_stuff);
include("footer.php");
}
I get the error: Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$''
in /Library/WebServer/Documents/phpwebsite/search_users.php on line 45
BTW... line 45 is part of the initial funtion that was working before:
PHP:
$cat_result = mysql_query("select cat, catkey, cattext, count(cat) AS
num_type FROM " . $table_prefix."users LEFT JOIN
" . $table_prefix."users_cat ON cat=catkey GROUP BY cattext ORDER BY
cattext");
$categories = mysql_fetch_array($cat_result);
if ($categories) {
while ($c2 = mysql_fetch_array($cat_result)) {
$num_type = $c2[num_type];
$box_stuff .= "$c2[cattext] (
$num_type)";
} //THIS IS LINE 45
}
I feel that if I can get past this, I can likely get my actual search to
work. If you're curious, the following code is what I actually have in mind
for the search function. I just can't get far enough along to even test it.
I would surely appreciate any advice that anyone can extend.:
PHP:
function search() {
include("config.php");
global $company, $cat, $city, $catkey, $cattext, Order;
$box_title = "Search Results";
if ($cat>0) {
$classreq="AND catkey=$cat";
}
if (!$Order) {
$Order="company";
}
$query = "SELECT company, city, cat, catkey, cattext FROM
" . $table_prefix."users LEFT JOIN
" . $table_prefix."users_cat ON cat=catkey WHERE company LIKE '%$company%' A
ND city LIKE '%$city%' AND cat LIKE '%$cat%' $classreq ORDER BY $Order";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$box_stuff = "";
$box_stuff .= "";
if ($result){
if ($r = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
do {
$box_stuff .="
CompanyCatego
ryCity
$r[company]$r
[cattext]$r[city]";
} while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($result));
} else {
$box_stuff .= "Search Failed";
}
}
$box_stuff .= "";
thememainbox($box_title, $box_stuff);

[PHP] Storing/passing variables through multiple-part function/casestatement
Hi,
I¹m trying to cobble together a case where where data is retrieved from one
row of a mySQL table, the row is deleted, the retrieved data is inserted
into a new row in different table. Most of my code seems to be working (I
think the data is being retrieved, the old row is being deleted, the new row
is being created) but I am not getting a grip on how to pass the retrieved
data into the sql insert statement for the new row in the second table. I¹m
sure I¹m missing something very basic and would appreciate any help
extended. The case statement as is now, is below.
TIA, verdon

Hi John, Thanks for your input on this and a other question/answers I have
read on this list. I did get this working, though likely in not the most
elegant manner.
For instance, if I understand your hint correctly, I didn't know you could
put INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... In the same statement!
I did have too much code in the 1st post I made on this topic and the
relevant parts likely got lost in the forest ;) If you're curious, I have
quoted what is now working for me below.

Re: [PHP] MacOSX / php.ini newbie question
Hi John, Thanks for answering. Apparently not. I have tried both the builds provided by Marc (well respected) at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/ and the default build included with Apple's MacOSX (10.1.4). Neither include these files. Marc says that the file is not included and just instructs to write it... I just can't find an example of the format. I only need a couple of lines in it for the scripts I wish to run, and know what they are. I am just unsure if the php.ini file needs specific lines to open and close, or if I can just create a file with the declarations I require (and nothing else) and save it in the correct location.

[PHP] Including classes inside functions vs outside - scope/globalquestion?
Hi :)
Somewhat newbie question...
I'm trying to include some open source classes into a project I am working
on. The classes build a set of relational select menus from the contents of
two tables. I have not trouble using the classes in a simple test page, but
am running into problems when I try to use them as part of a function. For
instance the following works just fine...
init() ;
$ls = new linked_select("conn","testselect","clients","Select
Client","id","company",1,"pieces","Select
Piece","id","title","client_id",0,1) ;
$ls->create_javascript();
$ls->create_base_select();
$ls->create_sub_select_multi();
// the end of the class stuff
echo "a bunch more of my own stuff";
include("foot.php");
?>
While this does not...
init() ;
$ls = new linked_select("conn","testselect","clients","Select
Client","id","company",1,"pieces","Select
Piece","id","title","client_id",0,1) ;
$ls->create_javascript();
$ls->create_base_select();
$ls->create_sub_select_multi();
// the end of the class stuff
echo "a bunch more of my own stuff";
}
$main_content = whatever();
echo "$main_content";
include("foot.php");
?>
It returns an error like 'Call to undefined function: debug() in
/xxx/xxx/mysql_recordset.php on line 40'. When I check this line out, it is
' $GLOBALS[$this->connobj]->debug() ;'.
Now I know this function exists (it's in the required file
'mysql_connection.php'), and works from my simple test. Quickly commenting
out the line 40 allows the page to finish rendering, but the select menus
are empty, so my guess is the 'connobj' is not being passed along or the 3
required class files are not talking to each other in some way ;)
Doing some reading in the manual tells me it's a scope issue (I think). I
thought though that $GLOBALS was a super global but I guess I just don't get
the concept yet. I've tried declaring all sorts of things as global in my
function whatever() to no avail.
Is there something really basic that I am missing in understanding, or is
this a more complex thing?
TIA,
Verdon
Ps. Cc'ing to me when/if replying to list would be appreciated as I am on

[PHP] GD lib security issues
Hi, I use a fairly standard sort of reseller package (*nix and hsphere based) for hosting sites. Although the versions of php and mySQL are fairly up to date, the version of GD lib is frozen at 1.6.2. When I question my provider about this and when GD v2.x would be available, they replied that there were security issues with GD 2.x in a shared environment and that they wouldn't be offering this version of GD until these had been reviewed and addressed. I haven't had much luck finding out what these issues might be and wondered if anyone else could shed some light on this? Perhaps the right sort of information might help me to encourage them to upgrade. Thanks, verdon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] MacOSX / php.ini newbie question
Hi Apologies in advance if this question is simple. I haven't been able to find an answer... Is there no php.ini file in a php 4.1.2 install on MacOSX 10.1.4 (client not server) ? My php info/test page says that the path to the configuration file (php.ini) file is '/usr/lib', but it is not there (or anywhere else according to locate) Is this a file I can create myself or is there an example to be had somewhere?

[PHP] Looking for commercial coder
Hi :) I am looking for a competent coder to help me with a shipping module for an e-commerce project I am working on. Essentially I need a script that can check a Canadian postal code and/or US zip code (from the cart) against a flat-file or db table, find it's zone in a series of ranges of codes, grab the correct value for the weight of the products in the cart, and pass it back to the cart. The cart I am working with is Zen-Cart. I am not looking for a freebie. For example, my postal code might be: P1B 7E9 The zone chart uses the 1st 3 chars, and looks something like: Range Zone A0A-A0N 11 G6E-G6K 5 J5Y-J6A 4 R5A-R6W 8 T9E 6 A1A-A1S 11 G6L-G6T 5 J6E 4 R7A-R7C 7 T9G 9 A1V-A2N 11 Then there's a weight/price ratio for each zone. If I really have to, I'll tackle this myself, but I'd rather contract it out and invest my own time elsewhere. If you have the skills to do this, and are interested and available, please contact me off-list.

[PHP] Finding value in multi-dimensional array
Hi, being somewhat of a noob, I hope I'm using the right language to phrase
this question...
In a project I am working with, I have a multi-dimensional array in session
when a user logs in. Visually, it looks something like this...
OBJ_user
username => value
isAdmin => value
modSettings => contacts => array
news => array
listings => firstname => value
lastname => value
active => value
phone => value
gallery => array
anothermod => array
userID => value
js => value
I'm trying to check the value of active for an if() statement and can't seem
to figure out the correct syntax to get it to work. I've tried
if($_SESSION["OBJ_user"]->modSettings["listings"]->active == "1") {
then do something;
} else {
then do something else;
}
if($_SESSION["OBJ_user"]["modSettings"]["listings"]["active"]) {
then do something;
} else {
then do something else;
}
if($_SESSION["OBJ_user"]["modSettings"]["listings"]["active"] == "1") {
then do something;
} else {
then do something else;
}
and none of them work even though I know the session value is there.
Any advice as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
verdon

Re: [PHP] Finding value in multi-dimensional array
Sorry, my example was poor :) Thanks for the print_r tip. When added to the
bottom of the page,
print_r($_SESSION["OBJ_user"]);
Prints...
phpws_user Object
(
[user_id] => 5
[username] => agent
[password] => 77abcd5cb2ef4a366c2749ea9931c79e
[email] => [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[admin_switch] => 1

[groups] => Array
(
)
[modSettings] => Array
(
[listings] => Array
(
[active] => 1
[first_name] => Agent
[last_name] => Guy
)
)
[permissions] => Array
(
[MOD_debug] => 1
)
[groupPermissions] =>
[groupModSettings] =>
[error] => Array

[js_on] => 1
[user_settings] =>
[group_id] =>
[group_name] =>
[description] =>
[members] =>
)
So, should my reference be...
if($_SESSION["OBJ_user"]["modSettings"]["listings"]->active == "1")
That didn't seem to work, but if it should, perhaps I need to look somewhere
else?

[PHP] Putting a stop in a foreach
Hi :)
I'm trying to put a stop in a foreach statement following the user
suggestion here, php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php
Not really knowing what I am doing, I am running into some synatx problems.
I'm sure I'm doing something really stupid, can anybody point it out?
This is the original statement that works...
foreach ($this->_content as $item) {
if ($item['type'] == 'item'){
$elements['ITEM_LINK'] = $item['link'];
$elements['ITEM_TITLE'] = $item['title'];
$elements["TARGET"] = $this->_target;
$items .= PHPWS_Template::processTemplate($elements,
"phpwsrssfeeds", "block_item.tpl");
}
}
This is my attempt to count items and put a stop in the foreach so it only
returns 5 items.
foreach ($this->_content as $n => $item) {
if ($n=="5") {
break;
} else {
if ($this->_content[$n] => $item['type'] == 'item'){
$elements['ITEM_LINK'] = $this->_content[$n] => $item['link'];
$elements['ITEM_TITLE'] = $this->_content[$n] => $item['title'];
$elements["TARGET"] = $this->_target;
$items .= PHPWS_Template::processTemplate($elements,
"phpwsrssfeeds", "block_item.tpl");
}
}
}
Php doesn't like the syntax on any of the,
$this->_content[$n] => $item['type']
, etc lines
TIA,
Verdon

Re: [PHP] Putting a stop in a foreach
Hmm, yes I see. Thank you.
I guess what I should look at then is getting the key value (internal
counter/pointer) in the array going to the foreach. Like this example...
$a = array( 1,2,3,17 );
$i =0;/* for illustrative purposes only */
foreach ( $a as $v ) {
echo "\$ a[$i ]=> $v. \n ";
$i ++;
}
Once I have that key value (internal counter) I should be able to do
something with it? What I really want to do (since I can't easily get at the
query building the array being passed to the foreach) is get the foreach to
stop outputting results at a certain limit.
Thanks again,
Verdon

[PHP] Re: Putting a stop in a foreach - SOLVED
Hi Torsten, Aidan and Matt
Both of Torsten's and Aidan's suggestions worked, though the number of
returned results using Aidan's method isn't what I expected. This could be
the result of something else and I'm trying to puzzle out why. Matt helped
clarify my basic misunderstanding in what the foreach statement was doing.
Conceptually though, Torsten's and Aidan's suggestions both work.

[PHP] sort in while(list($vars) = mysql_fetch_row($result))
Hi,
I'm running into some sorting issues using a while(list($vars) =
mysql_fetch_row($result)). I can provide more code if needed, but
thought I would try this little bit first to see if I'm missing a
fundamental concept and not a detail.
In a nutshell, I have a query first..
$result = mysql_query("select id, text, url, m_order from menu where
level = 2 && active = 1 order by m_order");
.. the result of this query is sorted correctly by m_order
Then I pass it through this..
while(list($id, $text, $url, $m_order) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$out .= "$text - $m_order \n";
}
echo $out;
.. it is now no longer in the order it was in the query. In some
results it is, in others it's not.
Am I missing something basic?
Thanks,
verdon

Is there a reason you're not simplifying this to the following?
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the input. The only reason is that I'm inheriting this
from someone else and am asked to do a 'quick' fix to get it working
again. The whole script is a little kludgy and it may be better to
redo it. Is there anything fundamentally wrong with the while(list())
approach, or is it just messy?
Best rgds,

[PHP] Using a perl regex
Hi,
I am trying to use a perl regular expression to validate a form field where
I am allowing someone to edit a sql date-time stamp in the format of
'2004-02-05 21:43:34'.
I have found a pattern that works (at
http://www.regexplib.com/RETester.aspx?regexp_id=93) which is;
20\d{2}(-|\/)((0[1-9])|(1[0-2]))(-|\/)((0[1-9])|([1-2][0-9])|(3[0-1]))(T|\s)
(([0-1][0-9])|(2[0-3])):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9])
However, when I try to use it in a php if statement like this;
if
(!ereg("20\d{2}(-|\/)((0[1-9])|(1[0-2]))(-|\/)((0[1-9])|([1-2][0-9])|(3[0-1]
))(T|\s)(([0-1][0-9])|(2[0-3])):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9])",$date_time)) {
echo "You must provide a date and time in the format -MM-DD
HH:MM:SS";
echo "";
}
It doesn't match and allow valid strings through.
Any suggestions?

[PHP] Simple while loop skipping first row of array
I'm not sure I phrased my subject well, but...
The following is just to build a select menu from a table query result set.
It sort of works, but doesn't return the first row in the result set, ie if
I have the following rows in the table 'cats';
id title
==
1 Pears
2 Oranges
3 Apples
4 Bananas
echo "";
$result = mysql_query("select * from cats order by title");
$categories = mysql_fetch_array($result);
if ($categories) {
while ($c = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "$c[title]";
}
}
echo "";
The resulting select menu will only include Bananas, Oranges, Pears.
Am I missing something terribly obvious to one less newbie than me?

[PHP] $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] being trimmed
Hi :)
I am trying to build a simple mechanism to allow visitors to set a site
preference (stored in a cookie) by clicking on a link. I want the
cookie set and the original page reloaded with the new cookie set, when
a visitor clicks on the link.
My link looks like this...
French
My file switch.php looks like this...
setcookie("userLang", $userLangChoice);
if ($sender == "")
$sender = "index.php";
else
$sender = "$sender";
header("location:".$sender);
?>
Now, for the most part this works fine, but in some cases, my referring
URL ($sender) is being truncated. Simple URLs such as
'/listingsearch.php?Category%5B%5D=Hunting' work fine, although it is
being returned as '/listingsearch.php?Category[]=Hunting'. More complex
URLs like
'/listingsearch.php?
Accommodation%5B%5D=Outpost&Category%5B%5D=Fishing&Region%5B%5D=North-
West' are being truncated at the first variable down to
'/listingsearch.php?Accommodation[]=Outpost'
Is there something I can do to make sure the referring URL is not
truncated and it would also be nice if it was left alone and not
encoded or decoded.
Any thoughts? Thanks,
verdon

Re: [PHP] $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] being trimmed
Thanks for the input Mikey... I guess I'm just not sure how to, and I had already hit on this method that is almost doing the trick :) salut, verdon On 3-Feb-05, at 2:46 PM, Mikey wrote: Any thoughts?

Thanks for the tip re urlencode(). I had tried that before I posted,
but I was doing it at the wrong side of the process. I was using it in
my switch file on the referrer being returned to location: instead of
on the link I was passing to my switch file. When I changed my link
to...
French
...the problem was fixed. DOH!
You may also want to just include the switch.php whenever
userLangChoice
is set in the URL:
--- langchoic.inc -
You can simply: on every page or in a
globals file you already include, and then you're not wasting a bunch
of
HTTP connections bouncing around with the header or worrying about your
URL getting munged.
French";
echo "English";
?>
I tried a few quick tests with this method and variations of it. I
could get it to set a cookie like '[en] => ' or '[fr] => ' but I could
not get it to set a cookie like '[userLang] => en'. Even if I worked
that out though, there is a disadvantage to this approach, in that
(AFAIK) the page has to be refreshed before the server will be aware of
the new cookie value on the client, not desirable in this situation
where I'm offering bilingual content.
My thoughts in using the switch.php file was to set the cookie, make
the server aware of it so it can deliver appropriate content, and
return to the URL intact at the end of the process, without any new
vars in it.
With your reminder about urlencode, this is all playing nicely now.
Thanks,

I am trying to build a simple mechanism to allow visitors to set a

My link looks like this...

My file switch.php looks like this...
setcookie("userLang", $userLangChoice);
if ($sender == "")
$sender = "index.php";
else
$sender = "$sender";
header("location:".$sender);
?>
Now, for the most part this works fine, but in some cases, my
referring
URL ($sender) is being truncated. Simple URLs such as
'/listingsearch.php?Category%5B%5D=Hunting' work fine, although it is
being returned as '/listingsearch.php?Category[]=Hunting'. More
complex
URLs like
'/listingsearch.php?
Accommodation%5B%5D=Outpost&Category%5B%5D=Fishing&Region%5B%5D=North-
West' are being truncated at the first variable down to
'/listingsearch.php?Accommodation[]=Outpost'
Is there something I can do to make sure the referring URL is not
truncated and it would also be nice if it was left alone and not
encoded or decoded.

[PHP] Truncate words in multiple paragraphs
Hi :)
I am using the following function (that I found in the user comments on
php.net manual) for trimming the number of words accepted via a form
field
// Truncation is by word limit, not character limit. So if you limit
// to 255, then it will cut off a text item to 255 words, not 255
characters
function trim_text ($string, $truncation=250) {
$string = preg_split("/\s+/",$string,($truncation+1));
unset($string[(sizeof($string)-1)]);
return implode(' ',$string);
}
This works well, except it is also removing any line breaks. For
instance...

returns

I'd like to (need to) retain the line breaks. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

$string = trim_text($string);
$string = str_replace("","\n",$string);

Re: [PHP] Truncate words in multiple paragraphs
Hi Richard,
I quickly realized this and fooled with a few variations. Also have to
take into account that the or the get counted as 1 or 2
words respectively, and so the trim can end up in the wrong place. I've
tried fiddling with counting the number of br's in the string and
adding that to the truncation limit before the preg_split, but this is
still not ideal.
I'm going to have a look at your other suggestion too.
Thanks for your thoughts :)

This splits it apart on any whitespace.
unset($string[(sizeof($string)-1)]);
return implode(' ',$string);
This re-assembles it with spaces as the only whitespace.
}
There's probably some way to do it with built-in functions, but here's
a solution:
function trim_text($string, $truncation = 250){
//search for words/whitespace
for($w=false,$l=strlen($string),$c=0,$t=0; $t<$truncation &&
$c<$l;$c++){
$char = $string[$c];
//detect change of state from 'word' to 'whitespace':
if (!$w && strstr(" \t\r\n", $char)){
$w = true;
}
elseif($w && !strstr(" \t\r\n", $char)){
$w = false;
$t++;
}
}
return substr($string, 0, $c);
}
This is NOT going to be fast on large pieces of text, because PHP loop
is relatively slow -- So if somebody posts a working function using
built-in PHP functions, it will probably be faster.
This mostly works too, and in my circumstances, I'm not using it on any
large blocks. I also like that it takes tabs into account.
One thing, if I feed it a string of say 300 words in multiple
paragraphs, it returns a string of 251 words... 250 intact words and
the first letter of the 251st word (at least in the tests I've done so
far)

verdon
