[PHP] Location header - slow redirect
I'm using the following short script to redirect users to another page on my site (php 4.3.2, Apache 2.0.47). http://"; . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/" . $goLang . "/"); exit; ?> I'm having a problem where it takes up to 15 seconds for the redirect page to load, but for other redirects on the site programmed in a similar way using php and the location header the page loads straight away.

Before most of you go on a rampage of how to please read below... As most of you already know when using MySQL from the shell you can write your queries in html format in an out file. Example: shell>mysql -uyourmom -plovesme --html This now will return all results in an html format from all queries. Now I could “tee” this to a file and save the results returned if I so choose to save the result of the display . Let’s say I want to be lazy and write a php MySQL query to do the same so that any result I queried for would return the html results in a table without actually writing the table tags in the results. Is there a mysql_connect or select_db or mysql_query tag option to do that since mysql can display it from the shell? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Formatting an ECHO statement.
I ask as you look at the comments and replies to your post, you think long
term.
Today you want the italic option, tomorrow you want to change the display to
something else. Now you have to go back and change ever place you set the
italic symbols to make your change.
BUT if you use styles you can not only change the display to the desired
look in one location but you can have flexibility.
Example:
Let's say the comments are coming from a database and you want to display
the comment differently based on the contents of the comment.
In my example I have 3 different classes in the style. Now as I foreach over
the fake data array example, I simply pick the style to use based on each
matching criteria. While the static examples
#wever_comment{font-style:italic}
#good_comment{font-style:italic; color: green;}
#bad_comment{font-weight:bold; color: red;}
$variable_from_database = array('good','bad','whatever');
Foreach($variable as $key)
{
Echo 'Other Comments:';
If(preg_match("/bad/i",'$key')){Echo '$key';}
If(preg_match("/good/i",'$key')){Echo '$key';}
If(preg_match("/whatever/i",'$key')){Echo '$key';}
Echo '';
}
In the long term the flexibility allows you to make faster changes with a
higher degree, of what I like to call "smarter code". Yes the filters are
static, and I would not use static filters personally. It is meant as an
explanation, not a how to.

A bit of silly one but like my book says, there are no dumb questions, I am
asking it here.
If I have :
$other="Whatever";
and I do:
echo 'Other Comments:' .$other. '
works perfectly well and prints the value. What if I want to, now, italicize
the value of $other with the above syntax? How do I achieve it?
I know we can do it this way : echo " I am $other"; but I want to
learn how to do it with the above syntax like I mentioned earlier.

hello,
I'd like to know the proper code to use in a php script that processes a
form with a checkbox in order to send one email if the checkbox has been
checked and another email if the checkbox hasn't. I tried if($check ==
true) and I tried putting the word "true" in double quotes, and both of
them caused the "unexpected variable" syntax error. The only problem
is, all I could think to use was that line of code I just used, I'm not
sure what the proper syntax is for checkbox when using the if statement
to send one email when the checkbox is checked and a different email
when it's not checked. I'm wanting to send an email to the site admin
with the information given by the person who filled out the form that
contains the checkbox.

If you want to see the results of the posted for try.
print_r($_POST);
you can see every position of the array passed and validate they are passing as

Try this.

This actual code that is on the portion of my hosting account which I
use as my test server. In my opinion, it's much cheaper to pay for a
hosting account to use as a test server to teach myself php than it is
to pay some collage professor to teach it to you only to be slapped in
the face by having him assume you're learning php to be a freelance
coder working for a company that does freelance work. The truth is, I
only have an interest in learning php to use in my own business and when
I get good enough, I may do some freelancing on the side on sites like
Scriptlance, but my main focus will be my own business and for anyone to
have the audacity that I plan on working for someone else my whole life
pisses me off, so that's why I'd much rather teach myself than to take a
college class on php.

This actual code that is on the portion of my hosting account which I
use as my test server. In my opinion, it's much cheaper to pay for a
hosting account to use as a test server to teach myself php than it is
to pay some collage professor to teach it to you only to be slapped in
the face by having him assume you're learning php to be a freelance
coder working for a company that does freelance work. The truth is, I
only have an interest in learning php to use in my own business and when
I get good enough, I may do some freelancing on the side on sites like
Scriptlance, but my main focus will be my own business and for anyone to
have the audacity that I plan on working for someone else my whole life
pisses me off, so that's why I'd much rather teach myself than to take a
college class on php.

RE: [PHP] Problem with "shell_exec"
After going over this a thousand times in my head and on sever.
Here are a few reasons why a shell_exec will not function.
First I tested the PHP CLI
Can I see my version of php.
$output = shell_exec('php -v');
Echo $output;
If I am not getting the information about the php version. Is shell_exec for
php and http on?
In your php.ini file there will be a section called disable_functions.
If you are sure that shell_exec is not in the list.
If neither of these are an issue for you, It has to be a permissions issue.
I do not claim to be an expert in the shell_exec area of php, I cannot
duplicate your error.

Hello Richard,
thank you for the prompt reply. I just tried to follow your suggestion, but
i couldn't solve my problem:
1. I have started the server with user "nobody". All the binaries i was
trying to execute(e.g. /bin/ls) were "chown"-ed to the user "nobody"
Problem presisted. Than i "chown" -ed /var/www to the user "nobody". Than
the php and php-cgi interpreters as well- same thing.
I tried the same with users "adm" and even "root"
2. I than gave the executables all the permissions possible("777"- i know it
is dangerous, but i am just testing)- still nothing.
I copied the binaries from /bin to /var/www and tried to execute them
with all kinds of permissions and "chown"'s- didn't work
3. Than i moved to the command line interpreter: i tried to execute it in
/var/www and in the home folder. The permissions were also adjusted. I
executed it with root privileges- i always get "Segmentation fault". One
more thing- if i omit the arguments in shell_exec( "$output = shell_exec();)
i get "Missing parameters" but no "Segmentation fault"

RE: [PHP] updating sub-request parameters
So let me get this straight.
Your script.php has all the passed variable positions of $_GET?
Once it has passed you want to change the value?
You can change the value of a $_GET very easy.
If(isset($_GET['param1']))
{
$_GET['param1'] == "no Chew";
}
By changing the global value or using filters on the global values of $_GET.
I have created a similar script only to mess with the $_GET variables.
If(isset($_GET['param1']))
{
$_GET['param1'] = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['param1']);
// you can create $_GET variables like so.
$_GET['moo_cow'] = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['param1']);
}
I hope I have answered your question.

Personally I'll get MySQL to do it for me using: insert into mytable (count,
color) select count(*) as count, searchkeywords from searchtable group by
searchkeywords order by count desc (see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/insert-select.html for more
information on INSERT ... SELECT)
Otherwise, you'll want to use mysql_fetch_assoc($result). Examples and
information can be found at http://php.net/mysql_fetch_assoc

This is no reason to truncate or escape html since the strings do not

RE: [PHP] MySQL Query Help
Since we are just tossing out development environments.
We moved to Aptana in conjunction with TortoiseSVN for a team environment
development timelines dropped.
Personally I do not feel any gui editor makes you a better programmer, maybe
you understand the fundamentals a little less.
Not that anything so far has been an answer to your question.
Developing mysql statements that not only require minimum resources but that
are highly effective. Take a lot of trial and error.
I feel there is no better tool in my mind to test query concepts than
NaviCat.
Not only is the product very user friendly but as a senior developer it
gives me more insight into the impact the query has on my servers.
Always think longevity of the product you are producing.
Imagine one day you have 650,000 products how will the query impact the
service you have written.
I feel as a certified MySQL DBA you should understand that what works today
may NOT be the best choice in query statements for the future.
Always analyze your query statements for query length and system resources
requirements.
Depending on the structure of your database/tables/fields your query may be
achieved many different ways.
I might suggest you try an extended select statement.
"SELECT product from sometable WHERE product='$array1' AND product=(SELECT
product_name from sometable where other matching critera)";
By extending or what some may call concating the statement the return is
more effective.

Hi,
I'm building a website for a client in which I need to compare their
products, side-by-side, but only include criteria for which all selected
products have a value for that criteria.
In my database (MySQL), I have a tables named "products","criteria" and
"criteria_values"
If I have something like
$selected_product = array("1"=>"Product 1","2"=>"Product 2"...) // All
products selected for comparison by the user
I need to get only rows from "criteria" where there is a row in
"criteria_values" matching "criteria.criteria_id" for each $selected_product
- in other words, if any of the $selected_product does not have a row in
"criteria_values" that matches "criteria.criteria_id", that criteria would
not be returned. I hope that makes sense.
I've played around with a few join queries, but none have given the desired
results. Best I've been able to come up with so far is to query "criteria"
for each DISTINCT(criteria_id) and then run through each $selected_product
to make sure each has a criteria_value with a matching criteria_id,
eliminating any criteria where the number of criteria_values <
count($selected_product), but this seems pretty inefficient.
Thanks in advance for any help.

RE: [PHP] Newbie Question
The question was "The .php extension is a requirement?" The answer is no. While me and Ash may completely disagree on the php parser, the simple answer is there are many ways around running a non .php extension file in php. mod_rewrite rules in .htaccess files are interpreted for each request and CAN slow down things if your traffic is high. Having said that, mod_rewrite in httpd.conf is faster because it is compiled at server restart and it is native to the server. As a beginner, I completely agree with ash on bad practice rule of thumb. You will simply rewrite the html file later on wishing you had never did the hack to make it function. Richard L.

HTML is embedded inside PHP files, not the other way around. The PHP parser interprets all the PHP code and creates the necessary output, and passes that output along with any HTML to the web server to then deliver to the client (browser). If you embedded PHP inside HTML files, the web server would have to call up the PHP parser every time you broke in and out of PHP tags, which wouldn't do at all! I wouldn't recommend having .html parsed as PHP though, as it will slow down your website/application unnecessarily for any .html files that contain no PHP code, as PHP still has to parse the file for any code, even if there is none. Leave .html files for static pages that you produce with a PHP app for example, or use MOD_REWRITE to reference PHP scripts when certain .html files are requested by the browser, as this can be a whole lot more specific and selective and won't introduce problems later on.

It's working very well, but I'd like to expand on the idea. When looking at our access logs, I see someone "adding code" to our URL's in hopes to, apparently, hack into our site. If our URL is like this: http://www.example.com/pages/bolts.php they are adding to it like this: http://www.example.com/pages/bolts.php/wp-content/themes/functions/thumb.php .cache/external_e19f4bb51bc2262e07d23b79b916c12c.php or http://www.example.com/pages/bolts.php/cart.php or http://www.example.com/pages/bolts.php/wp-content/themes/functions/thumb.php timthumb.php or http://www.example.com/pages/bolts.php/bratislava/stare-mesto Is there a way that I can trap the "extra" info in the URL's and pass it to the BlackHole script to ban these attempts as well? I'm thinking I'll need to compare the entered URL with $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] and if there's extra info, like another "*.php", after the page name, then ban the IP. I realize that's a rather simplistic explanation and there may be a better way to accomplish this. If anyone has any examples they can share, I'd really appreciate. Thanks, Marc -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php Marc, First I would suggest you look at htaccess or web.config depending on your flavor of OS. Examine the URL patterns and rewrite the URL appending to the string. This will allow you a little more control. I completely disagree on the blocking IP concept and this can lead to network latency and other issues, redirecting traffic is more efficient. I think the scare factor of products like black hole are really just that. Bots are not always a bad thing, when your server becomes more popular people are interested in content so controlling the bots is key. IP addresses can be spoofed and if you have an auto block this could be your undoing in the long run.

If you really think rolling your own deployment system is simpler than using source control then I don't think you've understood all of the advantages of source control. I know it can look complicated, but it's really not, and it will make it far easier to keep track of what you're doing and what changes are deployed where than the system you described. I strongly recommend you reconsider. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/ Stuart, If I may add to your post Version control for different environments (Development and Production) is SO key with SVN. SVN has logging and other key features. Many, and when I say many that is an understatement, Many companies enforce SVN for their protection. Ever had a script not fully transfer, and only partial code remains? With SVN you can roll it back and Whala! You have the original source back. For one of my roles as Project Manager, I love Tortoise SVN. I have changed the scripting a bit to send me emails with descriptions of changes as they happen with attached files. This way I can actually filter my emails to find the exact person who made the bad change, what they had, and what they did instead of searching the logs. Since my developers can only push to the Development Servers I can fix issues before they become a Production Issue. No more, Developers having access to the server directly. They make their changes and commit their changes up, I review and can schedule changes to be committed to Production Servers. To setup a new Developer I simply check out the SVN library for them and they are up to speed day one. The setup is very easy, Yes the controls are a tiny bit confusing at FIRST. But if you want success, then SVN is a SMART decision for any project. Richard Buskirk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I've been using Google Analytics, and I'm sure I'm using the analytics code correctly, but when I checked my dev server's apache access logs (dozens of hits per day) against what Google Analytics reports (zip, zero, nada), I realized I needed something different. BTW, I'm not the only one to report this problem (https://www.google.nl/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=google+analyti cs+lower+number) I thought of rolling something of my own, a PHP-MySQL based access+error log, add a viewer for it (http://dygraphs.com/ perhaps), and spend the next month perfecting it..

Thanks for your input. (and purists; I couldn't think of a better place to post this, as this is a large community of web developers who use the same language as I do. I may even end up writing an opensourced php logging facility for you) -- I have seen and dealt with this for a few companies. I have setup PHP scripting, JavaScript, Perl scripting you name it I have tried it. I have NEVER came up with the same number Google Analytics comes up with. Sporadic behavior from Analytics not tied to a unique browser, OS or time. Almost like random addition values are just added to the total for no reason. I like Google, but the numbers are not real! When I can track each and every visit, site navigation and the numbers do not match. I asked Google for click by click information IP, Time and any other information they could give me. I never got that list to this day. Probably because it would allow me to argue traffic that simply didnt happen! Suggestions when logging traffic, Avoid JavaScript that relies on the client side to tell you information. Bad Idea! Use php, perl or any server side language. When logging information remember that apache/.NET process web request and generally the best place to log. It you log at the process you do not need to have scripting in each landing page. Log light information, never request overwhelming amounts of information for each request you may cause horrid loading results. PHP example (Just a simple example, there are many ways to do it) Index.php I HIGHLY recommend you have a full understand of httaccess or web.config before you attempt logging from them.

Subject: [PHP] Best practice question regarding set_include_path()
For my applications, I've been using includes and other file addressing by
using the doc root as the base dir. e.g.
require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .
'/miniRegDB/includes/miniRegDBconfig.php';
Recently, I ran into a problem with a new installation on a shared host
where the doc root was assigned in an unusual manner. I rather not require
setting a custom base dir [instead of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']'] for my
applications.
So, I was wondering if it would be good practice to use the
set_include_path() and add the base dir for my applications. I've used this
for dealing with Pear function files on shared servers and had no problems.
Need some guidance regarding this subject.
Thanks
--
I use define to set the application path
define('BASE_PATH','C:\\inetpub\\vhosts\\yourwebsite.com\\httpdocs\\');
Example:
require_once (BASE_PATH. '/miniRegDB/includes/miniRegDBconfig.php');
works great for JQuery paths
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#dareport').html('
');
});
To me it is much better than set_include_path() but works in the same
premise

Here's why, and I've seen this happen a *lot*. The function may be properly named, but have side effects. Or the guy who named the function *thought* it was properly named, but was wrong. For example, he may have named the function "loadFromFile()", and the function does in fact do that. What the name doesn't tell you is that it then erases the file from which it pulled. Oops! No, you're correct, the function is *not* properly named in that case. But the guy who wrote it thought it was. And before I look at the internals of the function, I don't know whether it's properly named or not. Worse, the side effects may not show up until later, and then with disasterous results. Imagine assuming everything's okay, patching your code into the system, and finding out that it's been hacking up the customer's filesystem for the last three weeks. All because you didn't check to see what that other function was *actually* doing. Rule: NEVER assume you know what a function is doing by looking at its name.

Hi gang:
I can't wait for tomorrow -- so here's my off-topic post today.
First question:
What do you call the people who ultimately use your code?
I call them the "end-user", but others have stated other terms, such as
"customer" or "user".
Second question:
Are you concerned with their ("whomever") experience in using your code?
This question transcends your code working correctly, accurately, and
securely -- no need to comment on those aspects. But rather more
specifically do you consider how easily your "whomever" can use your work
efforts?
As you may have guessed - I just attended a UX conference and they provide
an interesting perspective on UX. I was wondering how php developers
typically address the subject.

I call them the GUI between the Chair and the Key board (behind the
scenes)!
To their face/documented I call them the "End-user" I do however break this
down into "tier level access users" depending on access desires.
>From straw dog to functioning portal the (easy, flow, and navigation) is

This area gets a little hairy with different levels of knowledge are
concerns. Some want a point to point (Walk Trough scenario) and others want
more complex features as options.
Reports, in my mind the most complex portion of any development because of
the mash of conceptual ideas of what the end product should look like. These
areas are rarely novice compliant, because of the sheer complexity of
filtering options desired. I stick to a "Canned Report" approach when
dealing with novice end-users.
My goal in life has been to develop the ultimate portal that thinks for you
and less dependent on your interactions. I am close to finishing a learning
module that learns from your interactions and navigates according to your
past history. But that is for another time

"User", because I'm writing the code for *my* customer. The person actually
exposed to my code may or may not be a customer of anyone. They may simply
be an internet surfer at my customer's site.

I'm interested in user experience to a limited extent. My interest stops
when a user wants the code to wipe their nose for them. "Can we make the
website automatically update our accounting system and then write a check
for the cost of goods to the vendor? Sure. How much money do you have?"
(Their accounting system is some inscrutable pile of Windows COM objects,
like SAP, behind a firewall. And they don't even know which vendor to write
the check to. I guess mental telepathy is a part of the PHP libraries not
installed on my development system.) Or "when someone sends the form on the
website for an appointment request, can you make a reminder pop up on all
the desktops in the office? No, I can't. Here's an idea: assign someone to
check the email for appointment requests throughout the day, and contact the
customer to confirm, based on you actually *looking* at your appointment
calendar." Sheesh. Apparently, computers (not mine) are capable of
performing magic tricks.
I think my screens should be fairly self-explanatory, if possible. But I'm
averse to making them idiot-proof. If you're an idiot, get someone else to
operate your computer for you. You shouldn't be using one. But there may be
times when a computer screen or set of screens will absolutely require some
training, rather than someone completely unfamiliar with the workings of the
office just sitting down and being able to guess how to operate the system.
You didn't learn to drive by just sitting in a car and guessing how it is
done. Don't expect a web-based application to be operable simply by
guessing, necessarily.
By the way, I'm quite happy to write documentation for systems.
Unfortunately, more than half the people who read anything can't actually
*apply* what they read to whatever system they're working with.
Supposedly they can read. But somehow they still need someone to explain it
to them, no matter how good the docs are.

LOL Paul,
You are so very spot on, I have a current customer who would like
the website to just load when he logs in. I wish I had not agreed to writing
him a startup script to load the interface for him because NOW he wants it
to auto login for him. They use a random key generator as a portion on their
login authentication. So let's see: The system sends you a report every hour
on the hour. You no longer have to navigate to the interface. It auto logs
into the system for you.
I pander to these kind of people like there is no tomorrow when they are the
ones who sign the check, because anything outside of scope cost BIG TIME. :)
I have gone so far to create training aids that are system mimics to explain
to them what they are doing wrong and what the next step is. I use to write
SCO compliant learning systems and let me tell you there is NO such thing as
idiot proof.

[PHP] Dynamic Content thoughts
Hello everyone,
In my quest to build bigger and better dynamic content, I am
putting forth a concept to see what you all think.
Many times I come across customers who want drop down menus dynamically
built from database tables.
Old way Example:
Echo '--Please Select--';
$query = "SELECT * FROM personnel ORDER BY last_name";
$result = mysql_query($query);
If(mysql_num_rows($result) >= 1)
{
While($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
Echo "".$row['first_name']."
".$row['last_name']."";
}
}
Echo '';
*
I am purposing a Method for this that has some flexibility.
Initialize Object: $yourobject = new yourclass();
Call method: // The call design is just so you have a better understanding
of my concept
$dropdown = $yourobject-> dropmenu('personnell','ID',array(0 =>
'first_name', 1 => 'last_name'), 'last_name');
Function dropmenu($table,$fieldforvalue,$fieldstodisplay,$fieldorder) //
Yes you could add some WHERE filters as well
{
$arraytoreturn = array();
If(strlen($table) >= 3){
if(is_array($fieldstodisplay)){
$count = 0;
foreach($fieldstodisplay as $key=>$values){
if(strlen($values) >=3){
If($count == 0){
$fields = $values;
}else{
$fields . = ",".$values;
}
$count++;
}
}
}else{
If(strlen(($fieldstodisplay) >= 1){
$fields = $fieldstodisplay;
$fieldstodisplay = array(0
=>$fieldstodisplay);
}else{
Return $arraytoreturn; // Return nothing
because no field was selected.
}
}
}else{
Return $arraytoreturn; // Return nothing because no table was selected.
}
If(strlen($fieldorder) >= 3) {
$orderfilter = " ORDER BY ".$fieldorder." ";
}else{
$orderfilter = "";
}
$query = "SELECT ".$fields." FROM ".$table." ".$orderfilter." ";
$result = mysql_query($query);
If(mysql_num_rows($result) >= 1)
{
$arraytoreturn[] = "--Please Select--";
While($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$display_fields = "";
Foreach($fieldstodisplay as $key=>$values){
$display_fields .= $row[$values]." ";
}
If(strlen($fieldforvalue >= 3){
$arraytoreturn[] = "".$display_fields ."";
}else{
$arraytoreturn[] = "".$display_fields ."";
}
}
Return $arraytoreturn;
}else{
Return $arraytoreturn; // Nothing to return.
}
}
Now I can call the drop downs driven by database tables dynamically and It
saves me a TON of time.
Echo '';
Foreach($dropdown as $key=>$values){
Echo $values;
}
Echo '';

Hi Richard,
First of all, I don't really see the problem with the first code, as it's not
that many LOC. OTOH comparing it to the enormous amount of lines needed for
your function it seems a bit overkill. If you combine $query = .. and
mysql_query($query), to a single line (which I prefer), then you only have 4
lines of code in your first example. ( I only count lines that do something,
not the brackets etc). Your function has about 40.
If you still want this function, I would change a few things.
1) Do all the echo stuff inside your function, or, only return the data and
print the html stuff outside of your function.
You're now mixing both which seems wrong.
2) Use SQL as input, and if you wish to make it easy for yourself, write a
seperate function that writes SQL queries for you (or just use a lib for it,
there are probably plenty).
3) Use mysqli, mysql is deprecated.
4) Use mysqli_real_escape_string to sanitize your input before using it on the
database.
Hope this helps you,
- Matijn

Thank you Matijn,
For coding style, I think we can agree on the fact each person has a
different style and reasoning's for their own style.
My style on SQL statements was passed down to me from some very successful
developers who felt the reason for creating a
SQL statement in such a manor was to assist in informatics and Debugging.
While you're not getting the point in the Method being in the class and called
when needed. It cuts coding size and time down by extremes when you have
multiple drop downs that may or may not repeat on different views.
Matijn was very correct on the combination of HTML and PHP in a Method and I do
agree, many feel this is a giant no no. Many could simply pass the array to the
view and create the drop down from there. The wonderful part of the method is
that it has the flexibility to meet many coding styles and a vast range of
abilities.
I do however feel the Mysql_real_escape_string to be un-necessary for the
developer, being the end-user(GUI between the keyboard and Chair) will not be
passing these fields to the Database. But escape away if you feel safer doing
this with-in your own version of the method.
As for the MYSQL VS MYSQLI in MOST benchmarks, I find the MYSQL extension to be
slightly faster.
Yes MYSQLI functions are more Object-oriented in some designs I feel MYSQL out
performs MYSQLI in large database setups for a personal preference.
Again you may change the Design of the method to meets your needs MYSQL or
MYSQLI doesn’t really take away from the concept.

$foundthem = array_search('them', $myarray);
Now I want to take all the array positions from $foundyou to $foundthem and
put their values into a variable;
For the life of me I can't remember how I did it.
I DO NOT want to foreach over the array positions that would be
counterproductive.

Well, depends on exactly what you mean by "and put their values into a
variable". Do you mean concatenate all the values into one single "flat"
variable. Or do you mean to make a subset array of the values between your
two points you found?
First, check out array_slice.
Second, look at join
'me',
'1'=>'you',
'2'=>'her',
'3'=>'him',
'4'=>'them',
'5'=>'us',
);
$s_pos = array_search('you', $myarray);
$f_pos = array_search('them', $myarray);
# Calculate the length, it is needed by array_slice() $length = ($f_pos -
$s_pos);
$subset_array = array_slice($myarray, $s_pos, $length);
print_r($subset_array);
$all_values = join(', ', $subset_array);
echo $all_values;
?>
Obviously, you need to add in some error checking. But that should get you
started.

I understand the principle behind

Which I find ridiculous if anyone did that.
I am not sure how he was calling the image to be sure. I watched him upload
the image and then
Do what looked like a normal echo UPLOADED_IMAGES.$_FILE["name"]; You seen
phpinfo() called but it was not in the script rather in the image.
He opened the test.jpg in a text editor and sure enough there was in the code of the jpeg.
This bothers me because I am not sure what all he did. He was proving PHP is
not a safe language in front of a rather large group or people in the
meeting.
I could only look on in disbelief that it just happened in front of me.
Everything inside of me wants to say he was doing something outside of what
I consider normal circumstances.
My question is this:
If someone uploads a image through a form or whatever and they have embedded
a code in can that code inside the image be executed by viewing the file?
$image = 'uploaded.jpg';

The first loop and return is all you will get.
Put the information into an array and return the array once the array is
built.

function filename($prefix)
{
$array_to_return = array();
$matches = glob('images/property_pics/'.$prefix.'*');
foreach($matches as $filename){
$array_to_return[] = $filename;
}
return $array_to_return;
}
If this better explains it.
The first return will stop the process you need to put the information into
an array and then return the array outside of the foreach loop.

Chris,
Let me first apologize for a couple syntax errors I had in the real
quick explanation.
I answered your question in relationship to your knowledge of the subject based
on the question it's self.
I want to apologize for the comments that followed my reply, seems some people
can't make constructive comments
if their life depended on it. While the more complex version in PDO is the
preferred method to obtain objects
from mysql. This does require you to have the basic fundamentals of object
oriented programming skills,
which I am guessing at this point you do not have based on how the question was
phrased.
There are many people in the list who will gladly point you in the direction to
learning aids and tutorials to get you started.
Good Luck :)

Thank you issue resolved for some reason it was passing the credentials with
the fully qualified domain name and NOT the IP and the permission failed to
match.
Not sure why it is suddenly passing the fully qualified domain name now but as
long and this works I really don’t care thanks.

Ash,
The question was asked about mysql functions.
As much as the php list would like to force people from using mysql, I guess
you should not have invented it, if you don't want people to still use it.

At no point was I slamming someone for using the old functions, in-fact I was trying to make a joke of that and point out that the msqli functions would be better, unless you really do believe that kittens will kill programmers... The thing is most of us expect the person asking the question here to have done at least a little bit of research into the problem, even if that only extends to "I'll Google some of these keywords in the error". That should at least have produced the same advice about those old deprecated functions, but I wanted to reiterate it a bit just to be sure. It can't hurt to know something like that. The fact is, what you considered a simple answer was bad advice, and would have just taught more people that those old functions are fine, when in-fact they are not. I think it's very important to make people aware of security concerns, especially if they're a beginner with the language. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk Ash, I am not trying to single you out and i hope that is not how you have taken this conversation. While i agree with you on the security of mysql and BTW (Kittens are monsters). The question clearly showed they have NO experience in db connectors. I felt to over complicate the problem by pushing them into another function was not the best approach. Yes they should understand the security risk and i take the reasonability for not fully explaining the ramifications for using such a function. If you knew my staff you would know I am the last person to think old ways is any approach i will accept. I will end the conversation with an apology to person asking the question, because i should have went into more detail and to anyone this conversation has mislead into thinking i think that function is anything BUT outmode.

I normally never write someones code for them but you are just not getting it.

RE: [PHP] Submitting data to MySQL database using HTML/PHP form
I see an errors in the syntax.

Issues resolved.
$insert = "INSERT INTO user_info (login, password) VALUES

Here is the issue

Your escaping incorrectly.
It should be
,'".mysql_real_escape_string($password)."'
The double quote is in the wrong place.

where the code was broken. These statements show up on the login.php page
after submitting the form, which means the MySQL connection works. So, the
problem seems to lie with the *$insert *query... ideas?

RE: [PHP] Can I modify a MySQL object?
Depends on where you want to manipulate.
In mysql you can
$query = 'select first_name as FNAME from tablename';
In this result you changed the column name from first_name to FNAME for the
result only.
In this example we can change the data returned in a particular field by
using an if statement.
$query = 'select IF(first_name='John','Big Bad John',first_name) FROM
tablename;
If the first_name field contains john we convert the name else just return
the name in the row.
Is that what you wanted?

Subject: [PHP] Can I modify a MySQL object?
Let's say I do a query:
$result = mysql_query("select * from tablename");
Is there some way I can manually update the contents of certain
columns/records in $result? I don't want to actually update MySQL, just the
results that I'm holding in memory for this script. Can I do it without
converting it to a regular array?

Why not just create a no named function in the top of the class. This this way
it loads on include.

Hi gang:
Quite some time ago I had a demo that showed Javascript injection. It
was where a user could type in:
alert("Evil Code");
and a JavaScript alert would be shown.
But now my demo no longer works. So, what happened? Was there a php
update that prohibited that sort of behavior or did hosts start
setting something to OFF, or what?
If you know, please explain.
Thanks,

RE: [PHP] PHP delete confirmation
This can be done in the delete.php file OR use javascript onClick to confirm

If your options are dynamically created you could check the value passed

Example Dynamic

{

RE: [PHP] accessing data from an array within an array.
I would suggest you print out the array to get a better understanding of the
structure first.
Print_r('');
Print_r($array);
Print_r('');
You can foreach over the $array['row']
Foreach($array['row'] as $key=>$values)
{
Echo $values.PHP_EOL;
}

Subject: [PHP] accessing data from an array within an array.
hello all.
im trying to make a function that fetches all rows in the database and
stores each row (Array) within an array.
so the code is as follows:
public function fetch_all($table_name,$order = "DESC"){
$array['row'] = array();
strtoupper($order);
$query = "SELECT * FROM `{$table_name}` ORDER BY id
{$order}";
$result = $this->gen_query($query);
while($row = $this->fetch_assoc($result)){
$array['row'][] = $row;
}
if($this->sql_error_check($result)){
return $array;
}
}
this returns (ill just paste 1 row for the sake of the email length:
Array ( [row] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => 9 [name] => TESTER [title]
=> TESTER [heading] => TESTER [text] =>
TESTER
[gallery_id] => 0 [meta_desc] =>
TESTER
[meta_keywords] => TESTER [meta_author] =>
TESTER
[page_id] => 0 [date_time] => 2011-05-07 06:49:39 [image] =>
[user_access_id] => 1 )
How do i access each array within the array and throw out the data for each
one.
im pretty confused on this one.
any help would be appreciated.
