Re: [PHP] Linux Question
Lets see where to start. Ive used both the px, pixels, and the small and tested them both in Linux (Mandrake 9.0) using Mozilla. Galeon and Opera, using default settings they come with, and they zoom the text with no problems. On windows Ive tested the same stuff using IE and Netscape, using default settings they both come with, and they all zoom to large and smaller sizes no prob. Im not really looking for a style sheet switcher, just needed a couple fonts to use. Im currently using helvetica, verdana, sans-serif, arial. Which looks really good in windows, but in Linux the letters look small and bold like. If I use the zoom options then the fonts look ok. So do yout think If I make the fonts larger by default in the style sheet it would be ok on most browsers in Linux ?

I don't think I was being clear enough at all :) 12px is 12pixels... there is no way for it to *reliably* be reset to 14px, or 10px by the user on all browser. In the current versions of IE for Win, using the text size larger smaller or % options in the menus has no effect whatsoever if values like 12px or 12pt are given. If you specify 12px, and I decide I need it bigger, I don't have many options, other than totally overwriting your style sheet with my own (no thanks!, and beyond most web users). The good news is that because 12pt and 12px are so prolific on the web (and so evil in terms of accessability), browser manufacturers are now beginning to make px and pt variable sizes as well. That is to say, in IE5 Mac, NN7 (and maybe 6), and some other browsers DO LET YOU CHANGE THE FONT SIZE FRONT THE MENUS, selecting smaller, larger, 120%, or whatever. The bad news is that the latest versions of IE6 (at least 3 months back when I did some major CSS testing) did not let users do this. It's well documented, and people like Zeldman and A List Apart have spent months campaigning for IE Win to match IE Mac and NN on this. Here's a snippet from http://www.zeldman.com/daily/0702b.html > To satisfy the demands of accessibility within the context of normative > practices in commercial web design, IE/Win needs to do what IE/Mac did in > March, 2000: implement Text Zoom, so visitors can resize any web text.

So, I stand partially corrected, the user CAN override ALL font size by digging into the accessibility menus, but I seriously doubt many do. If the latest versions of IE *DO* allow text zooming via the menus, again I stand corrected, but there are millions of web users out there on IE5 and IE6 without text zoom.

Hi list :
This is maybe a silly question from deamweaver users, i hope you people
understand what i mean.
im working on a site php, smarty,css , etc. the directory structure of
the site is this:

- classes
- Files of the smarty class
- Templates (Directory)
- template1.html
- template2.html
- template3.html
- dw_template.dwt
script1.php
script2.php

script1.php, script2.php, and script3.php look like this
Require "/path/to/smarty/smartyfile.class.php";
$page = new Smarty;
// some stuff
$page->display("templateN.html");
//end
Im working dreamweaver Templates system so every templateN.html are
attached to dw_template.dwt, dw_template.dwt calls the style sheet like
this:
Of course all the templatesN.html call the style shett the same way. No
problem here. But ... since scriptsN.php need the TemplatesN.html ...
(maybe im wrong with this) the browser doesnt know that
Templates/TemplatesN.html exist, the browser calls
http://site/script1.php
http://site/script2.php
So the browser shouldnt find the style sheet because TemplatesN.html
call ../style.css and ../style.css doesnt exists relative to
http://site/scriptN.php , and for my surprise the output result DOES
apply the style sheet ... Am i wrong with this ??? Or what should i know
about all this ??
Thanks for reading this long and silly question.
Daniel.
Hey,
Say your sytle sheets are in the directory called test but your html
files are in test/pages you could simply put this in your html files
type="text/css">
the 2 periods tell the browser to look one directory back for the file
called style.css. Hope that helps.

Jason, again, I RTFM, but did not get it working.

Sessions depends on a number of factors
including your version of PHP and the setting of register_globals.
The FM manual says:
"$_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less) is recommended"
So I am using "PHP Version 4.1.2" (and "4.2.3" on my localhost to test offline)
Ok. I quit using $HTTP_POST_VARS["familyname"].
With a little rethinking, I have this working, I hope.
Now ... is there a cleaner way to assign my variable "familyname"?
Pseudo code:
if _post["familyname"] exists set session variable
(no sense in setting it until I post it)
if _session["familyname"] exists, $familyname = $_SESSION["familyname"];
I'll have about 30 variables. Going to be alot of lines. There must be an easier, cleaner way?

if (isset($_SESSION["familyname"]))

Hey, I dont know how much easier it will be but it is faster, you could
use a switch statement.
switch ($_SESSION['familyname'])

do something;

[PHP] Help w/ $_SESSION
Hey,
How would I insert $_SESSION['user'] and $_SESSION['pass']
into this
mysql_query("select count(*) AS numfound from admins where user='$user' AND
pass='$pass'",$db);
right now I have
$_SESSION['user'] = $_POST['user']
$_SESSION['pass'] = $_POST['pass']
and I need to put $_SESSION['user'] where the $user is in the above
statement and so one w/ $pass
Thanks

Re: [PHP] Help w/ $_SESSION
Hey,
I do have it in a variable but I just choose to leave it out.
Ive tried so many different things with this and even what you gave me for
some reason didnt work. The variables are being set, if I echo
$_SESSION['user'] then right data is shown. However as soon as I put it in
the mysql_query it stops working. Im using it for a login script that I
include at the start of every page. Heres what I got:
I include that at the top of every page I want to protect.

Also the echo statement is just there for testing purposes to make sure the

[PHP] Syntax Help
Whats wrong here ?? The variables are getting the correct information from
the form but for some reason as soon as I put the variables into the $sql
they dont post the proper data to the database, its connecting to the
database ok but just not updating the data.
$sql = "UPDATE updates SET member= '{$_POST['mem']}', email=
'{$_POST['email']}', position= '{$_POST['pos']}', dateadded=
'{$_POST['dateadded']}', descp= '{$_POST['descp']}', message=
'{$_POST['message']}' where id= '{$_POST['id']}'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

[PHP] Linux and Apache
Hi. I spent the last 3 days looking through the apache docs to figure out how to disable directory listing. I can disable the directory listing to my images folder but then all the images on the site dont work. I tried using Allow from mydomain and Allow from localhost Allow from 127.0.0.1 I even tried my machine name but it all keeps blocking the images. My site has a dynamic IP so I cant set it to the IP, however I did set it to my IP at the time and it all worked great. Is there any other way I may be able to do this, without just putting a "fake" index.php in all the directories I want to protect ?

[PHP] PHP/MySQL/Server not working
Hey, just a quick question, I have a form that users can fill out to join a certain group, we can then view that info from an admin page that requires logging in. When a user fills out the form I get an email letting me know that the form was submitted with the users info as well. Here recently, I've been getting that info but their info isn't being saved into the database for somereason, anyone have any idea why ? I have filled out the form at least 15-25 times using different info and everyone of them worked for me. I even filled out the form using different special characters and still with no problems, I am using stripslashes on the form data, but I don't think that could keep the info from being saved to the database, it only does this periodically. Could this be due to a slow server ? or is there some sort of special character that could conflict with my PHP or with the MySQL syntax ? I just have no clue now. Any thoughts are appreciated.

[PHP] Re: PHP/MySQL/Server not working
Hey, Also the webhost only allows us database direct database connection using phpMyadmin, I did notice that on the table that stores the info, it keep getting an error after someone is posting the form. The error says something about Overhead: 275 bytes, Is this just an MySQL limitation that is set by the webhost ? and this overhead you think that would keep the info from being entered into the database. To get the error to go away I have to optimize the table.

[PHP] PHP Help
Hey, Im making a site to where I can fill out a form and it adds updates to the main page, but I only want the site to display 5 updates on it, now I know how to make it only show 5 updates, but then that means when a new update is posted to the site, it just stores the old updates in the database and over time this can make the database quite large, How would I make it delete the oldest update and just add the newest update to the top of the list ? So this way I only have 5 updates stored in the database at all times. Thanks ConbuD --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
