[PHP] Access to Pear
I know how to load extensions if they are not included in PHP.ini (dl
function), but how do I gain access to PEAR?
I can see the directory /apache/php/pear/ on my test machine, but when I try
to reference via
include_once("DB.php");
not found on include list error, can I dynamically change include list,
and what kind of security hole would that represent? my test machine is
windows, and my production machine is Redhat Linux, so I need to find a way
to gain access to pear in both environments.

RE: [PHP] Controlling browser windows with php?
Since PHP executes server side and not in the browser, you may want to resort to something that runs in the browser, like Javascript, which PHP can output as part of the html it feeds to the browser. check out http://www.hotscripts.com/ for lots of handy examples of how Javascript opens an additional window on the browser, note that the URL for the new window can point to another PHP (server side) script to fill it with information. You might want to check out the PHP section as well, there are lots of useful routines there.

Maybe throw in the code where $status or $Row[status] get initialized.
but i would do it like this:
if( $status == 'active' ) {
echo "active line\n";
} else {
echo "inactive line\n";
}
or
if( $Row['status'] == 'active' ) {
echo "active line\n";
} else {
echo "inactive line\n";
}
One of those should work based on the code. However, based on the
variables $Row and $status that might not be the case.

Try passing a reference to the array like this

$_SESSION['loggedIn'] = 1;
$_SESSION['id'] = $userArray['id'];
$_SESSION['uid'] = $userArray['uid'];
$_SESSION['fname'] = $userArray['fname'];

$_SESSION['dateapproved'] = $userArray['dateapproved'];
$_SESSION['email'] = $userArray['email'];
}
Otherwise no idea at this point :)

What Dan says is true,,, IF there are other form fields on the form where your user is making his choices. Since the hotlink fakes a "Get" type of header, and does NOT cause the other fields be submitted as well, any last minute changes to those formfields will be ignored by your form processing routine. On the other hand, if the click is the only value to be transfer the hotlink technique should be adequate.

RE: [PHP] Calling PHP functions from within javascript
I suspect you need to be careful how you use the term "call". It is possible for javascript, which runs on the "client side" or in the browser, to cause the browser to perform a form submit, and if the action field of the form points to a php script on a server "server side", then the php code will execute on the server, processing the form content on the server and sending new results in the form of html and javascript back to the browser "client side". That may have appeared to you as a "call" but most PHP developers would not use that term. Two items you may not have control of yet, is that in this case the PHP always runs on the server machine, and javascript always runs on the browser machine, and the only way they can both execute on the same machine, is if the server and browser are both on the same machine. The PHP will always run in the memory space of the server, and the javascript runs in the memory space of the browser. The only exceptions to the last statement is when the PHP runs from the command line, at which time it is not communicating to a browser (often referred to as a CGI, even though it isn't) and the only time, I believe, that javascript can execute on a server is using an old product, that I have only heard of but never used, referred to as "server side" javascript. hope this helps, Warren Vail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Nitin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 10:52 PM To: Jake McHenry; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Calling PHP functions from within javascript First thing is, it's possible, i've done it in the past myself, it's just not working due to some reason.

[PHP] Comparison PHP to Perl
I am looking for a comparison of features supported by PHP vs those supported by Perl. My gut tells me PHP is more robust, but we are trying to implement something in a company that has long had a standard allowing Perl as a "sanctioned" language, but current management does not want to fight for PHP as a new "sanctioned" language (most managers there have never heard of PHP and the resident Java zealots have almost established a monopoly). The kind of thing I am looking for is SESSION support, I know it's supported by PHP, but not sure about Perl. I don't want to have to grow my own session manager. One alternative is mainframe COBOL, which clearly will not support what we want to do. What would I lose by implementing in Perl (other than my mind)? thanks in advance, Warren Vail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] Installing PHP on 2nd Windows Drive
There is only one port 80 (the port used by your browser by default to connect to apache), choose a different port for the second instance, and you should be ok, but all url's will have to have a non-standard port number. Same is true for MySQL (different port number, but same conflict). Configure your 2nd MySQL to listen to a different port, and make sure that all your PHP code connects to MySQL using the different (non-standard) port number. I'm guessing two things; 1) if there are other common dependencies, like system registry (there is only one per machine) you will run into those and 2) other configuration dependencies (like things that need to be on the C: drive) will pop up (like php.ini?). My recommendation would be to get a 2nd cheap machine, and network them. My experience at doing this tells me machines are less expensive than the headaches you are going to have with conflicts.

RE: [PHP] session_register()
Jennifer,
I could be wrong but this is what I think you have;
When the session_register is executed the session contents are partially
updated.
Your first test actually executed the session_register that posted the
variable with 0 string length, because the variable had not yet been
initialized (the bad return is the only indication of this).
Your test that the variable is registered would seem to suggest this.
You then changed the variable value and failed to register this new value.
The second page found the only value you registered (the uninitialized
variable with zero length) and displayed that.
You can identify what actually happened by viewing the session file contents
after your two pages are displayed.
hope this helps,
Warren Vail

This is all what I thought, but I am still having problems and I
don't have a clue what I am missing. Here's an example that I
have been paying with for testing.
page1.php contains

if (session_register("testing")) {
echo "session_register worked.\n";
}
else {
echo "session_register did not work\n";
}
if (session_is_registered("testing")) {
echo "testing is a registered variable\n";
}
else {
echo "testing is not a registered variable\n";
}
$testing = "Let's see if this works.";
?>
Go to next page.
The output of the above page, gives me
session id is e35c2893382e28a14fa0455302edb06e
session_register did not work
testing is a registered variable
Go to next page.
and page2.php contains
\n";
echo "Testing: $testing\n";
?>
The output of page2 gives me
session id is e35c2893382e28a14fa0455302edb06e
Testing:
I am totally confused. First off, why isn't it registering the
variable? There is a file named e35c2893382e28a14fa0455302edb06e
in my /tmp directory, but it is empty.
Second, if it isn't registering the variable then why is
session_is_registered("testing") returning true?

RE: [PHP] installing php3 and php4 on the same server
I have a follow-on question to this one. I do implementations for clients in PHP and do my development and testing under windows (OK, I know), and the systems are targeted for servers that have PHP3 and others with PHP4. I would think that I could direct files with suffix php3 to use the php3 engine, and php to the php4 engine, but I can't seem to get this to work. Granted PHP4 will handle php3 code (as near as I can tell), but I expect I will inject some php4 dependencies into the code destined for a PHP3 server. The clients using php3 don't control the server so they can't their ISP to upgrade for them. Moving them to a site that will work with them is not the question here. The question here is how can PHP4 and PHP3 co exist, and where can I get information on how to set that up on windows system. I am running php4 successfully with apache and mysql, trying to activate the php3 version, regardless of changes I have made to httpd.conf, my php3 scripts invoke php4.

[PHP] Exchange Server Access
I am trying to figure out how to access a Microsoft NT Exchange Server using PHP on windows. I have NOT found success using IMAP to connect to the supposedly IMAP compliant server or trying to use COM to access that server via Outlook. I have considered trying to invoke the MAPI API, but not sure how to go about that, and I have considered trying a JAVA API, but not sure where to start here either. My goal is to read email, and move that email between folders, from a CGI app that runs every 5 minutes or so on a windows platform, updates a MySQL database which is used to support Helpdesk analysts who respond to reports of problems made via email. Has anyone had any success with MS Exchange, I will consider all options, but would prefer to use PHP.

RE: [PHP] Writing to files
Not sure I understand how you concluded that web server should not create files, it certainly should not be able to create files on client machines without permission of user (which it cannot do). Users should not be able to upload files to the server without the permission of the web application, but if a web application performs the upload and controls where the file goes and what is in the file, that would be safe. If the web application completely controls where temporary files go and what goes in them (variables) then how is that unsafe? On the subject of using the database, check out which environment variables that actually control session management (you can do this by running the phpinfo() function. There are two major configuration options which you have full control over; 1. If the sys admin controls the "default" configuration of where to write the session data (usually points to /tmp directory), then the session_set_save_handler function is your way to override those parameters. 2. In fact if you read the routine that performs garbage collection (deletes expired session data) session management will pass to that routine the parameter that controls the default lifetime from the sysadmin's setup data, which you as the writer of the routine are free to ignore and use your own. Only caveat is you need to include these routines in every page that records data to a session (no big deal). I wish you luck on this, you seem to have been advised on some rules, by people who didn't know what they were talking about, or perhaps you understood their recommendations out of context, and that makes it hard for you. I really think session management is the way to resolve your problem. It would be interesting for you to get a couple of opinions on the subject of creating files on a server. You could create routines that would write to physical files in these save_handler functions and put them in your user directory if you like, but I would not mix these files in the same directory as your application code, perhaps a sub directory. I would be willing to bet there are log files that are updated on your server every time someone accesses one of your web pages.

RE: [PHP] Re: Empty form variables when uploading, Help please???
Interesting because I have used multiple submit buttons on forms for years.
Each can have a different name, and even if I use the same name for all of
them, which I often do, each can have a separate value. Each will cause all
other form fields to transmit their variables in their usual manner, but
obviously I will only receive one submit button( the one that was clicked).
If all are named "go" with different values (what displays on the button),
all I have to do is;
Switch($go) {
Case "Add": something; break;
Case "Update": something, break;
Case "Delete": something else, break;

In a form you can't really have 2 submit buttons.
Either a submit submits or it is just a button.
That's because the var name is already submit (check out your
http_post_vars).
And you have it twice!
Change one of them and make it just a button (HTML4).
Recheck your post-vars.
This should help.
Otherwise you're loosing your post vars somehwere in the fire-wall.
That's bad!

Hi everybody,
I hope someone is able to help me with this, I've been having this problem
for a couple of months now and I have not been able to find a solution. I
have a form to upload a file which submits to itself, and has two submit
buttons, one called "eliminarfoto" (deletephoto) and "salvar" (savephoto),
but for some weird and unexplainable reason (it only happens to some users,
not all of them) when they hit any of these two submit buttons, the form
returns empty variables.
This is part of my script, has anybody had a similar problem before??? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [PHP] database question
Try; SELECT whatever FROM articles WHERE textlines LIKE "%searchword%" Two warnings; 1) This will force a "table scan" (the contents of each row in the entire table because there can be no index to support faster searching of contents that float in the column) which will be very slow on a large database (even a medium size one). 2) This will also find words that exist inside other words. (ie the word "ward" exists inside "toward") If you try to solve this by imbedding blanks between the wildcard (%) and the text, you will probably not be able to find the word at the end of a line, or just prior to a comma or period. I also believe there may be a way to make the search case insensitive, look for something like a " WHERE tolower(textlines) LIKE ..." to force the column values to be all lower case and make sure your search values are all lower case as well.

RE: [PHP] "Talkback" or community type participation.....
Deron,
By doing a Post to itself, this form will cause an error everytime someone
clicks the Back button on the browser (after the first post, of course).
What I do is have two forms, first invoked with a get via hot link or
redirect.
Form_1.php checks to see if variable $s has been passed (in the URL, of
course), if not it initializes and displays the form. The Form action on
this displayed form indicates to "Post" to Form_2.php.
Form_2.php displays nothing, just processes variables on the form. This one
would insert the row, and to avoid thread problems (multiple simultaneous
inserts, from multiple users) has a unique "autoincrement" variable as the
primary key to the table (MySQL will make the insert "thread safe"). When
the insert is successful this routine redirects the browser back to form_1
like so;
Header("Location: Form_1.php?s=$insertid");
Exit;
When control is passed to Form_1.php again, this time the variable $s is set
and the row is retrieved from the table (instead of using initialization
values) and displayed in the form giving confirmation of the updates that
were done.
Because Form_2 redirects to Form_1, Form_1 is the only one on the browser
history list(each separate instance is tracked, of course), and it is always
entered via a Get, meaning that the browser does include the passed variable
values in the history list (it doesn't do this with a Post). And the Back
button works. In the Post error you are working toward, the browser
complains that it does not have a record of the "Post" variable values (the
Data Has Expired).
There may be other ways to deal with this, but this is one way that I have
found that works.
Good Luck,
Warren Vail

RE: [PHP] Saving to a file
Rosen,
Depends on where you want to save the file.
To get the manual http://www.php.net/docs.php.
To Save to a file on the machine running the browser;
make a form that outputs absolutely nothing except;
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename.txt");
while(list($key,$val) = each($prod)) { // the echo below sends the file
contents
$id = $val[0]; // data was loaded to array $prod as follows;
$nm = $val[1]; // $prod[] = array($productNo, $productDescr);
echo("$id,$nm\r\n");// use \r\n if going to windows browser \n if going to
unix
}
To Save a file to the server machine hosting your website;
use normal fopen, fputs, etc (see the manual)
good luck,
Warren Vail

RE: [PHP] Code check please
Andreas,
I'm not sure about code that appears to be missing like an execute query
function or checking the number of affected rows to make sure that the
insert worked, but clearly your insert code is not properly formed. The
query could also be impacted by whether the columns are defined with special
attributes like DATE, etc. Assuming that all columns are defined as
character strings the query should look like;
$sql = "INSERT INTO tabell (fornamn, efternamn, email) " .
"VALUES(\"$fornamn\", \"$efternamn\", \"$email\")";
I've found that I often have problems trying to use "single quotes" in sql
queries so I avoid them. I notice that you also included a semi-colon in
the query text, while this works when piping a file of queries into the
mysql command, it does not work from a program. The semi-colon in a command
stream into the mysql command actually signifies a point to stop and execute
the preceding text as a query and after executing that query, continue on
from the next character.
hope you got it working,
Warren Vail

RE: [PHP] Code check please
It just occurred to me that one thing that will kill a query is special
query characters imbedded in your strings, like quotes (single or double).
This can be resolved by the
$resultstring = addslashes($sourcestring);
this should escape special characters normally used to signal key components
to the mysql query processor.
of course when you select the column you need to run it thru;
$resultstring = stripslashes($dbcolumnvalue);
to get back your original value.

You'll probably get as many approaches as replies. How about the following;
after you have connected to mysql and selected the database;
$query = "SELECT * FROM table";
$result = mysql_query ($query)
or die ("Query $query failed. The error message was
".mysql_error ());
// The following wipes out any trace of a memory table in the working $table
element
$table = '';
while ($rows = mysql_fetch_row ($result)) {

}
mysql_free_result($result) // always do this as soon as you can
$top = sizeof($table);
$halfway = ceil($top/2);// round up if odd
$col2 = $halfway;
echo "";
for($col1 = 0; $col1 < $halfway; $col1++) {

By "active user input", I would assume that you mean every time the user makes a keystroke, the keystroke is sent to the host machine. This is not a characteristic of html which only sends information to the host machine when some form of submit is clicked. The advantage of the applet for this sort of thing is it runs on the browser client, and has the capability of sending every keystroke directly to the host, bypassing the server side. On the server side, once the (PHP) application is done sending the requested files to the web browser for one user, it moves on to handling the requests for other users. Can you imagine the load on a server if it had to reload your application every time, your user pressed a key. You never really made it clear where you expected this client to run, although PHP, at this point, can only run on the server. Now if you are looking for something that your PHP code could use to 1. signon to a host somewhere, 2. execute some commands, 3. capture and process the results and 4. disconnect before completing a single page to a web browser client (it will probably never do "active user input", because of the nature of PHP and the web server), then I would suggest you consider "rexec", "rcp", "rsh" or if what you want is in a file on the host machine, you could use the ftp functions. These are not telnet, and do require special deamons running on the host machine, but may do the trick. I have been looking for your telnet client for a long time as well, and if you find one, please remember to post it here, but I would suspect that one of the problems in doing a telnet client in php is that the telnet client needs to be multi-threaded. Perhaps someone will someday take open source like Dave's Telnet and fashion an extension to PHP.

I would like to create a server side telnet client, so the user side is only required to have a working web browser that supports HTML. Thus, I turned to PHP. I found one example, but it does not allow for active user input.

RE: [PHP] reading records alphebetically
If you are planning to have a lot of records, you may want to create a
column with just that letter and index it, followed by the full name.
SELECT name from Table
WHERE first_letter = "$letter"
ORDER by name
should produce pretty fast results if "first_letter, name" is indexed.

RE: [PHP] Re: storing array in mysql
I never seem to be lucky enough to be sure of the type of data stored in a
php array, since php handles mixtures of types so forgivingly, and because
most of my data comes from forms, with users key in what they like,
including double and single quotes, parentheses (and especially commas, how
do you prevent breaking up your array and putting it back together with a
different row count because someone keyed in a comma?), etc. I would think
you would have to go to a lot of trouble to make sure that an array contains
only numeric data, or only strings that did not contain problem causing
characters.
You are right about more space being required for serialize, I often have to
resort to TEXT data types to provide enough space in the column for data
(65k runs out fast), and that is a bit slower as well.

Yes true, you can use serialize.
But since you know the format of your $array variable (which is simply
holding one data type) you can safely use split() and join()
better and smaller when stored in that field because they are comma
seperated.

RE: [PHP] Problem: Sybase, PHP and multiple result sets
The ability to select a set from a previously selected set is possible in Sybase because the database supports creation of temporary tables and the select insert. PHP (which is often packaged with MySQL) does not attempt to mix database (SQL) with it's own scripting language (unless someone is working on this). ASP on the other hand will sell you anything that consumes resources thereby encouraging you to buy the bigger software, requiring bigger hardware (An old IBM marketing plan, and my personal opinion). When you talk about a result set in PHP you must be referring to what is returned by MySQL, not PHP. Perhaps someday MySQL will have temp tables and SELECT INSERT capability. On the other had PHP does a very nice job of looping thru the result set.

Now, in ASP (sorry...), there are calls that allow retrieving the next result set from the current result set. So in effect the result sets are a linked list and you can access all of them. In PHP, however, the result set returned is the first one, and I don't see any method for retrieving the next result set. Does anybody know of such a method? Does anybody have a suggestion for workaround? Basically, in most of these cases, the important result set is actually the last one, not the first, as the intermediate result sets are mostly temporary results.

RE: [PHP] Problem: Sybase, PHP and multiple result sets
I appreciate the clearer, more detailed description. Unfortunately, I
probably cannot help as much with this one. If it were my problem, I would
try finding and downloading the source for the Sybase modules, then look for
someone to contact in the notes. I would also exhaust any contacts I have
with Sybase, mostly because much of the original code for the interface
modules probably came from them originally (derived from their old C
interface modules).
Another approach would be to try to unload the source for the Stored
Procedure, and try to split up the queries (I believe the results you are
seeing are produced by a UNION, but I'm not certain). Sybase can compile
its query procedures on the fly, with only slightly longer run times, or you

No, you seem to have missed my point entirely. So I'll explain in a
little more detail.
I run a stored procedure. Let's assume I run it from the interactive
utility and not from PHP for the moment.
> SP_SOMETHING_OR_OTHER PARAM1 PARAM2 PARAM3
The database returns:
foo bar
=== ===
1020
3040
field1 field2 field3
== == ==
string bla 15
nothing bla 12
As you can see, it returns TWO result sets. One with two numeric
columns. The next with three columns, the first two string and the
last numeric.
This is, of course, just an example.
Now back to the web interface.
If I use PHP, I get only the first result set. That is, I write
something along the lines of:
$rs = sybase_query( "SP_SOMETHING_OR_OTHER PARAM1 PARAM2 PARAM3",
$conn );
while ( $row = sybase_fetch_row( $rs ) ) {
echo $row[0]; // and so on
}
This will only display the results of the first result set - the one
with the two fields, foo and bar.
There is no way for me to reach the second table generated by the
query. This is supposed to be the significant table.
Now, in ASP, there is something like
set rs = rs.NextResultSet
Which sets the rs to the second result set, the one with the three
fields of mixed types, at which point you loop, just like above, and
retrieve the new information. This method or an equivalent of it is
not in the PHP documented set of Sybase functions.
I hope I made myself clearer. And by the way, you don't have to sell
me on the uselessness of ASP, the general uselessness of Microsoft
etc. - I don't use any Microsoft products, even at work.

RE: [PHP] Dissapearing Session Variables (long post)
Jason,
I had a similar problem using a php session table in MySQL to store session
data, turns out my data item was too small to contain all my registered
session variables, I changed the definition of the data column to TEXT and
that seemed to do it. I also found that I needed to run addslashes() before
updating the column and stripslashes() retrieving it (turns out some of my
variables contained characters that MySQL was sensitive to, and others that
caused serialize/unserialize problems).
Not sure this is your problem, but it's worth checking.

Subject:[PHP] Dissapearing Session Variables (long post)
Hello! I'm trying to figure out why my session variables keep hiding
Background:
On my site, I have a login box, which allows you to login. This login box
works as expected. It authenticates the provided credentials against my
database, and then sets some pre-registered session variables to values
pulled from the DB. What I am experiencing, is that my session variables
will be defined, and then lose their values when the first link is followed.
I've placed a reference to $PHPSESSID into the title of the page, and note
that the $PHPSESSID remains constant. Is there something in my code that is
causing this? Is there a way that I can rewrite my code to help avoid this?
Here is my index.php, other relevent code to follow:
Login Incorrect!";
};
};
break;
case logout:
break;
}
};
if (!$action) { $action = tba; };
if (!$title) { $title = "$PHPSESSID"; };
if (!$headline) { $headline = "An E-Haven for Displaced
Northpointers"; };
include("Themes/".$theme."/".$theme.".theme");
?>
Here is user.conf:
Shouldn't this work? I reference the session variables within functions,
but that shouldn't effect anything. I always make sure to call global for
each variable before I use itany ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Doing this manually is simple, point your browser to your URL, and in windows use to copy an image of the rendering in the browser to the scratch-pad, then paste the image into a tool like paint to cut out the part of the image you want, and use the skew/stretch tool in paint to create the thumbnail (GD is a good solution as well) saving the file as a jpg image. The difficulties with php is that opening the URL with fopen or using CURL allows getting the content of a page in html form, but provides no bitmap rendering of all that, let alone allowing JavaScript to alter the presentation as it would in a browser. What would be useful, if there were a way to open the URL in an IFRAME, and with JavaScript somehow capture a bitmap of the rendering of the web page, perhaps encoding the bitmap as mod64 characters and placing the result in a textarea for posting as input to a php script. This was the best solution that I could come up with but I don't have the skills to make this happen, yet. Question for anyone here, is does this sound like a path that might work? Can JavaScript access the rendered content of a webpage in window bitmap form?

RE: [PHP] Is there any way of knowing User Currently Logged On?
If it throws out garbage, you should be able to execute the "who" command on
the remote system, which should show users that are currently signed on to a
Unix or Linux system and if you do it all in the perl script, you can format
the output to look pretty much the same (in case you haven't figured it out
the @users_list is an array, very similar to PHP arrays actually [IMHO]).
If you modified the perl script to detect the garbage, it could simply do a
telnet connection and execute the "who" command. There are probably ways
that use privileged commands similar to the one used for your windows
solution on remote Linux Unix, but I don't know them, and I'm not sure it's
a good idea to use them in a PHP script, but you can get opinions the other
way as well. If all your machines are behind the same firewall, away from
the internet, the risk could be less if you have a good firewall. For your
telnet connection from perl look for the net:telnet perl module at
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Net/ , if you know PHP you will find
perl quite easy I think.
Good luck.

RE: [PHP] Best and easy html text area replacement tool?
I guess I have no patience with the "topic police" since it's difficult to develop a good PHP "user interface" without the use of JavaScript, and I consider anything that involves getting the most out of PHP "on topic", but since I'm in charge of absolutely nothing, all I can do is provide a little information. I've actually used a couple of these JavaScript add-on's and like the structure and reliability of HTMLAREA. http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/ It provides a nice plug-in interface that other developers have used to make JavaScript extensions available that includes; * Image Upload Manager * Spell Checking (On a Unix/Linux host) * Enhanced Table Formatting * Multiple Language Capability (haven't look too close at this one) * Even something for Audio (haven't looked at this, either) * And probably some that I haven't mentioned (doing this from memory).

RE: [PHP] Help needed Postgresql and PHP
Extracting name and addresses from postgres as a comma separated values "CSV" file should be doable with postgress utilities or scripts. Assuming you have access to a word processor like Microsoft Word, that has a "Mail Merge" capability, where your letter can be merged and printed with names and addresses from your CSV file. Factors affecting the wisdom of this approach are; * The volume of letters you expect to print and the printers you expect to use (bubble jet ink cartridges are expensive). * If name and address are the only substitutions in the letter. Greetings, additional content may require more that a CSV solution. * Special bulk mail requirements like zip code sort and selections should be doable in postgres. * For really large volumes you will need to break down the workload for multiple printers in a fashion that makes sense. If you want to reinvent the wheel by developing your own mail merge process, I would recommend against it, unless there is some significant gain by doing that.

RE: [PHP] Job Opportunity
While Jim does have a point and is limited by the threading algorithm of this list manager, someone can successfully argue that "this standard" has it's drawbacks. It is somewhat intuitive to pick up a message all pre addressed and reply to all, especially when your intention is to send a message that will "reach all". It is also somewhat intuitive to think that changing the subject means starting a new thread, however with thread id's hidden in the headers, this doesn't work. You CAN argue that standards that don't work are a bad thing, or at least, not a GOOD thing. I don't, however, have a good solution, since basing threads on subject lines has a different set of drawbacks like lots of broken or disjointed threads that have a beginning in another thread. These hidden ID's keep things together but they also generate lots of off topic discussion within a thread, like we are doing here ;-), pretty soon we should hear from those police.

RE: [PHP] Idea/Suggestion for PHP App
I would also encourage plagiarism (something that you can do with open source, well, within reason). Download and install other peoples solutions, look at their code, and figure out what worked for them and what didn't. You not only get new ideas, but will pick up on techniques that the author had learned the hard way and now employs regularly(no sense reinventing the wheel). One place I look for OPS (Other People's Solutions) is http://www.hotscripts.com. (Google is also your friend :-)). Look for code and modules that you can employ in your solutions (http://www.sourceforge.net). For example if you are planning to do graphics or charting take a look at jpgraph (http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/). Or if you want a integrated editor that can handle multiple fonts and such, check out devedit (http://www.interspire.com/devedit) or TinyMCE (http://wiki.moxiecode.com/examples/tinymce/installation_example_12.php). Remember that an application in the hand is worth a dozen that were started over because you may have been trying to reinvent a wheel that could be found for free on the internet. You can learn how to leverage your time a lot with PHP and the PHP community.

Get an idea, see PHP as a potential solution and decided to just dive right in. I don't think many people start out in a classroom style "Hello World" situation and build slowly onto that. I'm sure other people have better starter sites to point you to than I do, so I'll leave that to someon else. Just know that php.net and the examples in the online manual are your friend. Same with MySQL, but databases are a little trickier than PHP concept-wise (I believe at least). First thing.. dive right in. You're going to do some really goofy stuff in the beginning and you're going to learn how to do things better the longer you work with it all. Second.. if you get the inclination to write a function to perform some task in PHP, dredge through the online manual for a bit. I can't tell you how many times I did something "the hard way" only to find that PHP already had a function to do what I was trying to do. Third.. when designing your site and database, try to keep things modular. Try not to create the same set of data or same page functionality over and over again so it'll have to be updated in 10 different places if you decide to change it. Example(s): Menus that appear on many (all?) pages can be put into a file and either include() or require() (also see the "once" versions of those) as appropriate. In your database, say you had a human resources table that had employee data. You'd want a column for each piece of data that all employees are going to have. If there are data items that are only going to pertain to one or two employees, or maybe there's an unknown quantity of extra items, then you might consider putting that information in another table and linking it to your user table using the unique ID from the user table. The company I work for deals with mortgage data and part of that is credit information. On credit reports, you have a list of liabilities that are factored in. Maybe you only have one, maybe you have 20. In our current database, there's a table with stuff like "Liability1", "Liability2", "Liability3"..etc.. as columns. This is amazingly poor database design. It limits the number of liabilities we can store and also bloats our database with extra information for people who only have a couple liabilities listed. It would have been better designed if Liabilities were in their own table as rows, not separate columns in the main loan information table. Once you get waist deep in the project, make a few silly mistakes and learn how to structure your code and data, you'll get it all working the way you want. Just don't be afraid to dive in and make a mess..hah. Planning is great if you know what you're doing, but when you're still learning then expect to do some silly stuff for a bit.

RE: [PHP] Re: Best way to test for form submission?
To test a form I usually send the form contents to a php file that contains
the following;
foreach($_POST as $nm => $val) echo "_POST[".$nm."] [".$val."]";
foreach($_GET as $nm => $val) echo "_GET[".$nm."] [".$val."]";
Checkboxes and radio buttons only send their value if the control is
"checked".
You can have multiple submit buttons (type="submit") on a form, but you
should assign them different name parameters to recognize which one is
clicked (any one of them will cause the form to be submitted, but the only
one that will establish a $_POST entry named "submit" is the submit control
that is named "submit" (name="submit").
Pressing enter is not sensed by most controls.
Most browsers will look at the field the cursor is positioned on when enter
is pressed, and if it is not one of the controls that response to an enter,
it scans the DOM (list of controls), and will apply the enter to the first
control that responds to an enter, most common is the type="submit" control.
If a select control is between the text box and the submit button (in the
DOM list) the current entry for the select list will be selected and the
form will not be submitted unless the list includes a
onChange="this.form.submit(); " javascript entry.
Be careful designing forms that are dependent on some of these behaviors,
like positioning a submit button to the right of a text box to intentionally
receive the "enter", because different browsers will probably behave
differently.
Hope this helps a bit.

I've encountered issue with checking $_POST['submit']
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {}
If the form consists of checkbox/radio and text field, some of my forms can
be submitted by just press [ENTER] at the end of one of the text field. In
this case, the $_POST['submit'] is set even the submit button was not
clicked.
However, in some of my forms, $_POST['submit'] will not be set if I submit
the form by pressing [ENTER] in one of the text field.
So, if the later case happen, I need to remind the user to explicitly click
the [Submit] button.
I don't know why or in what condition that pressing [ENTER] will not submit
the whole form include the $_POST['submit'].

Yes, you're right about that. 10 years ago I went to a seminar were
Rasmus Lerforf was speaking and asked him exactly that question. The
single qoutes are preferred and are way faster because it doesn´t have
to parse the string, only the glued variables.
Also we discussed that if you´re doing a bunch of HTML code it's
considerably faster to do:
Than
print "
\n\t
\n\t\t$data
\n\t";
or
print '
'.$data.'
';
I remember benchmark testing it afterwards back then and there was
clearly a difference.

RE: [PHP] Re: mediator between PHP and Perl (with sessions)
Eli, Sessions work just fine with CLI (Command Line Interpreter), although there is little need for them as a CLI script, since once started the script does not wait on user clicks of a browser for it's next set of input, therefore no need to use sessions for passing information. Most CLI scripts are started via a cron process, and if started from a webpage, the items passed to the script can be passed via command line parameters, or if passed as session variables, the session key needs to be passed to the CLI script, since CLI scripts don't have access to cookies. One advantage of using session variables when starting a CLI script, is that the session may be able to pass bigger values than can be contained in a command line. (Command line variables can be accessed in the argc/argv array like in "c") and once passed this way the sessions are no longer needed since your CLI script will run to completion. If your server is a NIX box, you may have access to the "&" character after the command name that will cause it to run as a separate shell script, but you will need to set the timeout to allow it to run long enough, and if you do not use the "&" separate shell character, the script will be interruptible by the user who started it by clicking a button like "stop" on his browser. The unserialize function is indeed used for sessions, but with most newer releases of PHP "register variables" is turned off, which means the variables are not restored automatically (you will find them in the $_SESSION array). Sections of the manual you may want to reread are as follows; http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php (good illustrations of what happens in sessions) http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-register.php (notice the notes on register variables). http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-id.php http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php to allow script to run longer. http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php for starting a cli script (don't forget to start php). hope this helps, Warren Vail > -Original Message- > From: Eli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 7:07 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] Re: mediator between PHP and Perl (with sessions) > > > It's quite easy to pass the session variables to the script.

[PHP] fopen and redirects
I am using fopen with a url to open a remote file (read only of course). The url I am providing results in a redirect and the fopen seems to be smart enough to follow the redirect to return the actual file contents. How can I get at the redirected filename? The problem is the file contains html and relative references in href's buried in the html are relative to the redirected location and not my original location, and I would like to subsequently open some of those files (like a crawler does). thanks in advance, Warren Vail
RE: [PHP] fopen and http://
Just a wild guess, but try url;
http://localhost/zed/htdocs/rgfindingaids/series594.html

RE: [PHP] Printing
That is because Windoz, for all it's faults, provides a bit of an interface for applications to exercise some control over printed output, and even attempts to make it device independent. Don't know if Gnome, or other GUI's provide something, but if you write the output intended for a printer to a physical file and then post that file to your print spooler using a exec() function that should do the trick. http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php I suspect you would use the unix command to cause the file to be spooled to the printer as you would manually (I seem to recall an lpr command being involved, but don't trust my memory). This carries with it all the caviates about whether or not you know who your website visitors are, and what happens when multiple users try to trigger printing (who loads paper in the printer?). Another potential snag is, will you website user (usually "nobody") have permission to print (execute the lpr command)? Unless gnome or kde is involved, don't know how you could detect your printer types, since your program will need to know which pcl (printer control language) is required.

RE: [PHP] Amazon/eBay API
There is a PHPNuke (web portal application) module that will allow you to open an Amazon Store on your website. NukeAmazon http://www.PrecioGasolina.com/ I'm still looking for an eBay feed, I think the barrier there is that I heard eBay charges some big bucks to be able to access the interface. Amazon on the other hand recognized the power of having a proliferation of front-ends promoting and selling their products and provides access pretty much for free (there are features you can pay extra for if you are inclined). Don't know if eBay will ever come along. Apple, even today, doesn't recognize that IBM gained it's dominance by giving away its bios listing and hardware specs (and some of its business) in the very beginning, while apple looked at that type of move as giving away income it was intitled to receive and jealously guarded it's monopoly, even sueing vendors in some cases. eBay probably feels they already have a monopoly on auction sites and don't need to give their stuff away.

RE: [PHP] Are sessions unreliable?
I have had similar things happen but in every case it turned out to be a program bug in my code. It was usually something I looked at over and over and I saw the way it was supposed to work, but because I missed a detail it was not working that way. I would suggest you find someone to look over your code and help you with the debug process. I found many bugs just trying to explain to someone clearly how it worked. I suppose it could be a browser problem, but you need to solve those as well, or at least handle them gracefully. Do you make it a practice of having multiple browser instances open at the same time. I believe they will each normally get their own session key, and if you get your hands crossed, you will be looking at the symptoms in the wrong browser, bottom line, test, test, and test, then get a second set of eyes to look at your code, show them how it works, they don't need to really know a lot about PHP, or even programming for that matter, they will ask questions that as you try to answer them, you will find your problems. I have never found a legitimate bug in PHP Sessions, I have on the other hand found I was inconsistently using session handler routines, and before register globals was turned off, I was finding form variables that clobbered my session variables (or maybe it was the other way).

RE: [PHP] I need do paging in php, I use ODBC Access
> Somebody did paging in php for data origin in ODBC Access?
>
> I need an algorithm for doing this, please Help me!
I assume by "paging" you are referring to a scrolling algorithm that
allows you to view only a small portion of your query result set. The
algorithm that comes to mind is dependent on the database that ODBC is
connected to.
If the database is MySQL, the query that would allow do this is the SQL
LIMIT clause, where executing and re-executing the query will return
only a portion of the sequence set produced by the query;
$query = "SELECT ".$columnlist
." from my_table where col1 = \"sold\" order by order_date "
."LIMIT ".sprintf("%01d",$rowno).", 10 ";
If $rowno = 0 the query will return the first 10 rows
If you add 10 to $rowno and re-execute the query, it will return the
second set of 10 rows
And so on.
I have used ODBC to access Microsoft SQL Server and DB2 Databases, and I
believe neither support the SQL LIMIT clause, although I am not as
certain about my memory of MSS as DB2. Someone will correct me if I am
wrong.
The only approach left that I could come up with is to transfer the
entire sequence set to your application, and count the rows, perhaps
only displaying the rows you want to show. This is obviously not very
efficient (in fact, with enough rows it may prove impossible because of
memory limitations), but it will produce what appears to be a paged
result.

> > I changed everything to GET and it's behaving better! Thanks. > > I guess when the user clicks the back button they should just get > back the last state of the browser...no if, and or but's. This is because when you click the back button on the browser it pulls up the URL from it's history list and attempts to render the page. Note: that the browser only saves the URL in it's history list. When it attempts to render pages that were entered via a GET reference, all the data is available, and when it attempts to render a page that was entered via a POST, it is complaining that it no longer has the "post" data to complete rendering of the page (it only saved the URL). Does that make sense? Warren Vail Solution in PHP for forms that use POST, is to have the PHP routine perform whatever updating is necessary, or what ever, then redirect the browser (header function) to a page that will fetch the data from your database and present the page. The browser thinks that it has uncovered a new URL for the one it found in the link and replaces the URL in the history list which should be a GET type URL. One advantage of this structure is the update will only be posted once in response to a POST and the back button will skip over the update logic (no multiple updates from stepping backward). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Hierarchies and MySQL with PHP
I did one once where the key to the table was a string, and the string contained 1 to n Node Numbers separated by a separator character. "1" "1.1" "1.1.1" "1.2" select data from table where node between (1 and 2) resulted in an entire limb of the tree being retrieved. Limitations were the size of the string, depth of the tree (the string was truncated), and the number of digits in each node number. Problem also with ordering node numbers, node number 1 tended to be followed by node number 10, 11, 12, etc, then number 2, until I pre-determined the number of leading zeros for each node.

However, it's a pain to retrieve the data so that it can be displayed in a nice threaded/sorted way, where children are sorted directly below their parents. I also want the items to be nicely sorted within their own branch, of course. On MS SQL, I successfully used stored procedures that employ temporary tables and while statements and the like.

RE: [PHP] Re: PHP doesnt work!
PHP relies on a server side interpreter that normally runs under an apache web server and you reference those files by having your browser fetch those files through a URL that maps to your PHP files, beginning with something like http://hostname.com/program.php.

RE: [PHP] Re: PHP Sessions Question
I have a suggestion that would allow you to take charge of what is going on with your sessions. Install your own session handler routines, storing your own session data in your own database table. These functions would need to be loaded on each page before you execute the session_start() function on each page. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php Since the Garbage Cleanup and session read function is now under your control, you can establish the session expiration that is appropriate for your application, independent from the PHP default for the site. Be careful, however for the parameters that control the life of the cookie in the browser, they can also cause the session to be lost if not set properly. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-cookie-params.php This may sometimes seem intermittent, since the cookie will expire from the time first established in the browser, and if you are only aware of the time from the last page, and the cookie goes away, the session will appear to have been destroyed. good luck, Warren Vail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Jason Barnett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 11:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: PHP Sessions Question > On garbage collection, it happens sometimes within seconds and sometimes > within minutes.

Garbage collection would destroy the sessions, so if they're only "temporarily" disappearing then load balancing seems even more likely.

RE: [PHP] About Session And Cookies
Kelvin, Sessions is just one of the items recommended for an e-commerce website. I seem to recall that if cookies were not enabled that there was a way of passing the session id in the URL as a "Get" parameter. Basically you will store the items to be purchased in a special table and a shopper ID or cart ID number will be assigned with the first selected item and needs to be retained to be able to recall the selected items when the shopper is ready to check out. A session variable is a good place to store this id, but it could also be passed in the form as a hidden field. A session is also a convenient way of providing a generic storage of the items to be purchased, separate table is possibly more common. You don't have to be too concerned about security up to the point where someone begins to check out when you begin gathering personal information from the buyer. Give it some thought, but I suspect in most cases that if someone were to capture a session at this point, the worse that could happen is they would both order and pay for the same items. When you gather personal information it becomes a different matter, and at this point I would first recomment you consider passing your order items to a resource like paypal and let them collect the personal information. If that is not possible you will want to switch to SSL communication with the browser before when you present your form for the personal information, and even in this mode I would recommend that if you detect errors on the forma and need to represent the form for the buyer to correct info, toss away the credit card info and have them reenter it. You do not want to store this in your session, or anywhere on your system without really secure incryption (I'm talking about the DB side here, not the SSL channel to the browser). Once you begin collecting personal information (and this is not limited to the obvious like social security numbers), you should make sure the session cannot be hijacked, to prevent identity theft, this is where cookies work so well. Anyone who doesn't allow cookies is forcing you into a situation where you must expose their session information in the URL or a hidden field on the form where it can be hijacked, in which case I would refuse to have them as a customer, it's not worth the risk.

easy, you can cause multiple text fields on the form with php compatible
array names. Say you have a list of line items from your cart table and
the record ids (artificial keys of the cart table could be used in the
index). Here is a sample couple of text fields;
the number 5, 14, and 8 represent the keys of the rows from your cart
table and when you pull the value from the post array after the user
submits the form, of course in addition to the quantities you should
show things like product descriptions and such on the same line as the
quantity text box.
$qtyupdates = $_POST["quantity"];
$qtyupdates above becomes an array with 3 rows in it and the recordd ids
are stored in the index.
A simple foreach loop
Foreach($qtyupdates as $idx => $qty) {
$query = "update cart_table set itemqty = ".$qty
." where cart_lineid = ".$idx;
mysql_query you get the rest
}
your form now becomes a list of line items with quantities in text boxes
for each item, and a single submit button allows you to apply all
changes at once.
Hope this is clear enough,

Rob,
Your opinion would have meant more had you offered a solution. The only
hole that I am aware of is the likelihood that the imbedded query could get
executed accidentally later.
If the database is mysql, there is finally a mysql function for filtering
and mysql_real_escape_string(), if I am not mistaken, should render attempts
to store SQL in the database harmless. For other databases, you should look
for something specific, but for the problem you described, addslashes()
should work just fine.

AddSlashes() is crap. You have a security hole due to using the improper
escape mechanism for your database.
USE THE CORRECT ESCAPE MECHANISM FOR YOU DATABASE!
Do not ever advocate use of the addSlashes() function for database
queries unless it is the ONLY option available.

RE: [PHP] Calling a stored procedure
I believe you need to send the call to the stored procedure to the database
as if it were a query, instead of asking PHP to execute it.

RE: [PHP] including parenthesis, space and dashes in a phone number
I did not know that about Windows Letter formatting, well, not all Americans
think everything revolves around the way Americans do things. Knowing a
little about Microsoft marketing strategy, they probably feel they should
charge extra for providing more flexible formatting.
I do believe a good site designer, will plan for a global market, instead of
a local US one, even if others fail to share his vision.

Yes and no, don't think you intend to, but you may be mixing technologies. You refer to hyperlinks, etc, which is web technologies and windows, which is not unless you use javascript or ajax. With PHP you can cause your browser to open a new browser by adding target="_blank" to the hyperlink, but you cannot easily disable functionality of the old browser (It's still open, just usually covered up by the new browser), and if the user clicks your hyperlink again a 3rd browser will be opened. You could name your target (target=mypage) which means if the user clicks it a new browser will be opened, and if the user clicks the same link again, a 3rd window will not be opened, but the page in the "mypage" target will be refreshed.

RE: [PHP] First stupid post of the year.
I often identify each of my submit buttons with different names and identify
which one was pressed by;
If(isset($_POST["submit1"]))
Only one will ever be pressed at a time, and that allows me to use the same
page with multiple languages (substituting different values for different
languages). As you can see I can ignore the value, and submit buttons are
not sent in the form if they are not clicked.
Another option,

RE: [PHP] Dependant listboxes
There are several ways of doing it and all involve javascript, some more than others. Here are some of the problems; . without javascript the only thing that will cause a form to be submitted to the server for rebuilding, is clicking a submit button. . with a minimal amount of javascript you can cause the form to be submitted to the server when an item is selected from the first pulldown box. . with javascript and javascript arrays, you can cause one list to "cascade" to the next without going to the server (maybe). On your first list if you code something like the following; Note: the code inside the onChange quotes is actually javascript, but it is rather minimal, don't you think. When your form is submitted form variable "firstsel" will have a value, base on that you can send back to the browser the same form, with the firstsel list with one item selected, and the filled in second dependent list. This technique requires a round trip to the server and back for each selection and is not the best of user experiences, but sometimes it is all you can do. Javascript is not too painful, and I would encourage plagerism while you are learning it. You can eventually avoid sending the entire form to the server and retrieving an entire refresh of the page by using AJAX, but even there a round trip to the server is required (just not the entire form). You can find lots of useful scripts at http://www.hotscripts.com in their javascript section, a good place to see different techniques. Also Google can be your friend.
