[PHP] Re: Returning Rows Question
here's one way, set a variable and switch it on and off
$tr_properties = 'style="background-color: grey;"';
while( $ect = etc ) {
if($tr_properties){
print "";
$tr_properties = false;
} else {
print "";
$tr_properties = 'style="background-color: grey;"';
}
}
you sould refine the code and simplify it but that is basic principle.

1. I understand what you're doing, and how. But what I don't understand
is why? If a user is going to have to type [B]bold[/B], why not just get
them to type bold. [bold] and [italic] maybe?
2, I think regular expressions are a safer way to go. That way you don't
end up inserting eroneous html into peoples text if an unmatched tag is
encountered. Square brackets will not throw a browser off track but an
unclosed or tag could ruin a page's appearance.
i suggest using preg_replace, maybe like this:
$pair = array( 'bold' => 'strong',
'italics' => 'em',
'heading1' => 'h1',
'heading2' => 'h2',
'heading3' => 'h3',
'heading4' => 'h4');
$pattern = array();
$replace = array();
foreach($pair as $key => $val) {
$pattern[] = '/(\[)(' . $key . ')(\])([^]].*)(\[\/)(' . $key .
')(\])/i';
$replace[] = "<$val>" . '$4' . "";
}
$new_body= preg_replace ($pattern, $replace, $body_text);

[PHP] Re: whitespace...
the php parser does not return any whitespace between the tags
unless youn use print or echo.
i wouldn't use:

as that would remove all your normal single spaces as well.
if this is really a an issue use regular expressions to replace 2 or
more spaces with single spaces. see preg_replace()

Re: [PHP] Re: LDAP (NDS) authentication example...
i'm not sure if i follow you. i have never used ldap to write
authentication scripts as i've only used the .htaccess method.
to retrieve data you need to bind using a username/password combination
that is valid. i guess you could test your user's username/password by
using it to attempt a bind.
the following is copied verbatim from the manual's user notes:
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (03-Jan-2002 11:46)
It took quite a while to figure out how to do LDAP authentication as
there wasn't a complete example ... just some cryptic notes about
passwords. So, here's what I came up with that works for me:
// $inp_uid contains the user id to be authenticated
// $inp_passwd contains the plain text password to be authenticated
$ds=ldap_connect("ldap.someserver.com");
//substitute the real host name in the previous statement
if ($ds) {
$r=@ldap_bind($ds); // this is an anonymous bind
$st_search="uid=$res_uid";
// need to set the right root search information in next statement.
// Your requirement may be different
$sr=ldap_search($ds,"ou=mycompany.com,o=My Company", "$st_search");
$info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);
for ($i=0; $i<$info["count"]; $i++) {
$dn=$info[$i]["dn"];
}
// I now know the dn needed to authenticate
// now bind to see if the uid and password work
// the password is still plain text
$r=@ldap_bind($ds, $dn, $inp_passwd);
if ($r) {
$str_passok="Yes";
// ldap_bind will return TRUE if everything matches
} else {
$str_passok="No";
// otherwise ldap_bind will return FALSE
}
ldap_close($ds);
} else {
$error_string="Error -- unable to connect to ldap.someserver.com";
}
I'm sure that there's more error checking that needs to be done, but
this provides the basic skeleton

[PHP] Regular Expression
Hi all,
I'm trying to change the string, for example,
$string = "11.abcd.32.efgh.53.ijk";
to
11.abcd.
32.efgh.
53.ijk.
with ereg_replace.
Like
ereg_replace("\.[0-9]","",$string);
How can I recover the original characters
after replacing them with
in ereg_replace?
ereg_replace("\.[0-9]","\\0",$string) gives me the
wrong result like:
11.abcd.
32.efgh.
53.ijk.
thank you in advance.

Re: [PHP] Regular Expression
Thank you!! It worked!!
The wrong sample was 'dot'11'dot'abcd, but
the first dot was not shown properly...
And, now I have another problem:
In fact, the input strings are lines from a webpage, and
they sometimes have line-feed as in:
11.abcd.32.efgh.54.ij <--here
kh.41.lmno. <--here
63.pqrs
And, with ereg_replace("(\.)([0-9])","\\1\\2",$string),
the result I expect is:
11.abcd.
32.efgh.
54.ijkh.
41.lmno.
63.pqrs.
But, the actual result is:
11.abcd.
32.efgh.
54.ij <-- problem
kh.
41.lmno.
63.pqrs. <-- problem
I tried some more regular expressions to solve this, but
they don work yet.
So, please help me~~
Thank you in advance.

[PHP] SSL, PHP, & MySQL
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could direct me to some good tutorials on how to utilize PHP to access a MySQL database behind SSL. I have been searching PHPBuilder.com, PHPClasses.org, and hotscripts.com, and I can't seem to find any good tutorials for a beginner when it comes to SSL. I do have a fairly good working knowledge of PHP and MySQL so I'm not necessarily looking for a guide on that, I just need to know how to pass encrypted data back and forth. Here is the scenario: My client has a website in which a customer will be purchasing gift certificates online. They don't need a comprehensive e-commerce package, just simple information passed across a secure connection, such as: user names, passwords, credit cards and mailing addresses. We already have a MySQL db set up with the gift certificate "package" information. I just need to be able to store the customer information for retrieval later by the owners of the site.

[PHP] Class extension problem
Ok, I have a parent class (CMS) and a child class (WebSite extends CMS).
There is some important stuff going on in the constructor for CMS that I
think should be happening when I instantiate a new WebSite. Look at the
following example:
prop1 = "A";
}
}
class WebSite extends CMS{
var $prop2 = "b";
function WebSite(){ }
function setProp2(){
$this->prop2 = $this->prop1;
}
}
$ws = new WebSite();
echo "Before: " . $ws->prop2 . " : " . $ws->prop1 . "\n";
$ws->setProp2();
echo "After: " . $ws->prop2 . " : " . $ws->prop1 . "\n";
?>
If you run this, you'll notice the constructor for CMS is never called. Is
this a by-design functionality, am I wrong about what I think should happen,
or am I just totally off my rocker?

[PHP] Recursive Object Troubles
I am building a recursive Menu object. Inside each menu item there is an array which
should allow me to add submenu items and so on. I am having trouble, though, with
getting the submenus to stay. They are disappearing as I go along.
Here is the menu class: (part of it anyway)
class Menu {
var $iMenuId;
var $iParentId;
var $iMasterId;
var $sMenuName;
var $sMenuType;
var $bStatus;
var $vecMenu; // <- This is the array of submenus which
//will each have their own submenus
function Menu ($iMI, $iPI, $iMstI, $sMN, $sMT, $bS){
$this->iMenuId = $iMI;
$this->iParentId = $iPI;
$this->iMasterId = $iMstI;
$this->sMenuName = $sMN;
$this->sMenuType = $sMT;
$this->bStatus = $bS;
$this->vecMenu = array();
// Used as static variable since PHP4 doesn't support them.
global $menuCount;
$menuCount++;
}
function bIsMaster(){
return ($this->iMasterId == $this->iMenuId);
}
function bIsParent(){
return ($this->iParentId == $this->iMenuId);
}
function bAddMenu(&$m) {
if ($m->bIsParent() && $m->bIsMaster())
return false;
if ($this->iMenuId == $m->iParentId){
$this->vecMenu[] = &$m; // <- This is a guess.
// Added into vector by reference?
return true;
}
for ($i=0; $i < count($this->vecMenu); $i++){
$tmpMenu = $this->vecMenu[$i];
if ($tmpMenu->bAddMenu (&$m))
return true;
}
return false;
}
} //END Menu Class
Should this work? Am I just doing something completely wrong? I know someone out
there knows, please let me know if you have any ideas. I really appreciate any help I
can get.
Thanks in advance.

[PHP] PHP processing for .html files
I was wondering if there was a way to stick PHP code into html docs and have it processed only in certain web folders. I'm running a Windows 2000 server... IIS with the CGI version of PHP 4.3. not very server savvy so I'm not really sure how to make it work.
[PHP] Cookies and Macs
I wrote a script that used cookies to track users (the cookie contains the user's ID#). However, there was a problem when it came to the Mac users, the cookie that was assigned to them never stuck so every time they hit a page the script generated a new ID for them, made it very difficult to track them. Do Macs just handle cookies differently than PCs? What can I do to get a cookie to stick on a Mac so I can pull the data from it later?

[PHP] Curl request works on command line but not in script
Hi folks,
I'm trying to send an XML request to a server to get its response
back... I can get it to work on the command line (with passthru) but
not with libcurl. I'm using libcurl 7.9.2 which may actually be
different from the curl on the command line... the latter came with
OS X, the former came from entropy.ch with the PHP package I
installed. Of course my host is using 7.9.4 and the script doesn't
work there either.
I've tried it with both GET and POST... here are some setup variables.
$testrequest = "$server?API=Rate&XML=EXPRESS2077020852100NoneREGULAR";
$post['API']="Rate\n";
$post['XML']= "'EXPRESS2077020852100NoneREGULAR'\n";
# (I've tried it with the 's and without, with the \n's and without)
$d1 = "API=Rate";
$d2 = "XML='EXPRESS2077020852100NoneREGULAR'";
$ch = curl_init();
# doesn't work, returns Error 400
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $testrequest);
# also doesn't work, returns BAD REQUEST
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $server);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post);
# what DOES work
passthru("curl -d " . $d1 . " -d " . $d2 . " $server");
Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] Looking for some help on web header coding.
I did. That is how I came a crossed the $HTTP_POST_VARS['username']; in my
code. ( The tutorial for Flash MX to php can be found at
http://www.macromedia.com/desdev/mx/flash/articles/flashmx_php02.html ). If
you look at my code and their code sample you will see that I have not made
many changes from their sample and the only one truly is storing the vars to
a internal variable instead of using it directly in the sql script. I have
gotten it working by changing POST to GET as is used in Peter's sample but I
have to wonder if I am still missing something as I am unable to find any
documentation on this at http://php.org I came here.

Re: [PHP] Displaying full array contents
You could always use a for loop enbeded in a while loop to walk through a
linked list.
You could expand the list out as long as you have memory and this function
would walk through it until it found the end. But the true questions is why
would you want to when you can already dynamically change the size of arrays
in php.

[PHP] shtml & php in the same file?
I'm working on this site that is all shtml files... in order to add some dynamic content, it just includes php scripts in different places. However, sessions don't work unless you start it before outputting anything to the server and that's what's needed now... I don't want to change all the links to end in .php and do the includes in php just so I can put at the beginning of all the pages. So I was trying to get the server to treat shtml files as both server-parsed and as php scripts. Not working too well. ;) Anyone have any ideas? -Josh -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] cache control with javascript
Does anybody know how I can make force a javascript file (written in PHP) to be cached if the user agent allows it? Here is the situation: I am creating a dropdown menu system that contains a customer list, loaded from a database. This list is written to the javascript file for the menu. The menu can be quite large as the data grows. What I would like to do, is force it to be cached (unless of course the user agent doesn't allow it) so that it doesn't have to make the call to generate the file each time. I have searched through the php.net website and even through the HTTP/1.1 protocols. I am continuing to look, but have not found a definite answer as to whether or not what I am trying to do is possible. -- Joshua Minnie Lead Web Application Developer Advantage Computer Services, LLC www.advantagecomputerservices.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] cache control with javascript
The "it" that you were asking about was the server. The javascript file is
actually a PHP file that produces the JavaScript that I need. I only have
one access to a database and a while loop to generate the code. Here is the
code pieces:
[code]
// already connected to the db
$sql = "SELECT * FROM Customers ORDER BY LastName ASC, FirstName ASC";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
// generate the javascript
}
[/code]
The customer database can get potentially large so that this file could take
a while to generate. Currently there are only 300 records but I anticipate
many more. Does anyone have any recommendations that might speed this up?

RE: [PHP] cache control with javascript
That really helped, I didn't think about generating the file that way. I
have done other things like that, but sometimes it just helps when you get
another set of eyes on the project at hand. Thanks for the refresher.

Hmm... I think you missed the point earlier.
Here's the basic idea. Create/generate a separate file ("whatever.js")
[1] and make sure that this file is ONLY *updated* when necessary (e.g.
updated database)[2]. Call this file inside your HTML tags. [3]
This way, the "whatever.js" will be "cached" whenever possible.
- E -
[1] Check the file functions in the manual (if you're not familiar with
it already).
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php)
[2] Tip: Have a separate php script that generates the "whatever.js".
Use/run this script ONLY after you made an update to your database.

[PHP] file download using header
I am having some trouble making it possible to download a file using the
header function. The problems are: (1) I get the dialog box to download the
file, but for some reason the type of file isn't getting passed to the box,
and (2) when I download a 4MB file it only seems to be getting 16.6KB.
I haven't used header for this purpose before this, so maybe I am missing
something. I Googled around and found the content-disposition type I
thought I needed, I actually tried 3 different types (the file is a
compressed zip file). I Googled around for tutorials on downloading files
and still haven't found the answer to correcting my problem. Here is the
code I am using, maybe a couple more trained eyes looking at this could help
me out.
http://www.usa-financial.com'.urldecode( $_GET['link'] );
$type = urldecode( $_GET['type'] );
$size = filesize( '/home2/www/usa-financial'.urldecode(
$_GET['link'] ) );
header("Content-type: $type");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$download;");
header("Accept-Ranges: bytes");

Okay, I found a solution to part one of my questions by changing my headers,

Most commonly it's about 16.6KB of a 4MB file. The kicker is it says that it
completed successfully.

Re: [PHP] The ASP "application" object in PHP?
One way to simulate an application object is to use the php.ini "auto_prepend_file" option. Set the file with your application variables to be the file you want to prepend to every file in your application. Now, the only part that you don't have is an easy way to add/update/delete these variables. I suppose you could write a fairly simple class that allowed you to manipulate the file line by line, which would essentially give you access to all the variables for add/update/delete functionality. I use "auto_prepend_file" quite a bit for my applications and it acts just like an application object. I haven't found a time where I need/want to manipulate the variables "on the fly" within code. Most of the variables being set are simply configuration settings for the application, not variables needing to change and be shared across the application.

[PHP] Passing to an Applet
All right I've seen in done in jsp and asp, but I'd like to know if I can do it in PHP as well. I've got an applet, which is in the page replay.php, with these parameters that I need to fill from a URL. I need to pass 2 parameter in the URL from another page to this one, those parameters are FILEPREFIX and MAXINDEX. I've set my link to read as The question is how to I, if I can, use PHP to take those variables from the URL string and use them for the values on that page. I know most people want to just say RTFM or look it up, but at this point if anyone could just tell me what this would be under or where exactly this info is, if it's possible in php.

I went to get the PHP 4.1.2 binary for Windows in order to address the security issues that were most recently announced.

Re: [PHP] Problem with MSSQL
Check your "php.ini" file in your C:\WINNT directory. Make sure that you have php_mssql.dll extension uncommented in your php.ini file. Then check to see where the php.ini is looking for the extensions. If you installed PHP in C:\PHP, then the line for extension_dir in your php.ini file would be: extension_dir = C:/PHP/extensions Once you have all that checked, then I would go to a command prompt and get into the PHP directory. From the PHP directory, run the command: php -i and see if any error dialog boxes appear. If you get errors, then it's most likely telling you that it can't find the appropriate dll files used to connect to SQL Server. To remedy this you can add the following to your Windows PATH variable: C:\PHP\dlls; This, again, is assuming you have PHP installed on C:\ Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction.

Re: [PHP] Re: Version Contol for PHP site
John is right. Use something like WinCVS. Then you can either setup virtual hosts for each developer to have as their "sandbox" on the development server or you can allow the developer to run php on his/her own box and check in to the development server when they check into CVS. There are pros and cons to each approach. You have more central control with having the sandboxes on the dev server, but you might have an admin nightmare on your hands if configurations keep having to change, etc. Letting the developer run PHP on his/her own box is very flexible, but may not mimic the production environment well enough.

Re: [PHP] Re: A tricky one?
If you only want to show the ones variables that have values input by
the user, you could do this with the while loop:
while (list($var, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
if ((strlen($val) > 0) && ($var !="email") && ($var !="SUBMIT") &&
(isset($var)) {
$message .= "$val $var were ordered \n";
}
}
This will make sure that the string length of $val (the value of the
form element) is greater than 0; if not, it won't add it to the message.

BUT, that code doesn't take into account that you may have other form
parameters that you DON'T want to require. With that code below, you're
requiring EVERY form element to be filled out. That's not what the

Re: [PHP] Problems.Sessions id on urls
This is actually a feature that PHP offers when compiled with the --enable-trans-sid option. If a browser does not support cookies or has security settings that place restrictions on cookies that won't allow PHP to have access to the cookie, then PHP will append the session id to the URL. I believe you can get rid of this (but may not having working sessions for some clients) by changing the following: session.use_trans_sid = 1 to session.use_trans_sid = 0 Save the php.ini file and restart your web server if you have PHP installed as a module/plug-in. That should do it for you. For more info on sessions and the trans-sid stuff, check out: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php Hope that helps.

[PHP] Validating mailing addresses
Hi list, I've been looking at a variety of software packages which allow you to validate U.S. mailing addresses against the USPS's database. Unfortunately, all of the products I've been able to find so far are Windows based and only support interfacing via COM. I want to be able to validate and clean up addresses via my PHP application so going with a product with only a COM interface is not going to be sufficient since we're running Linux servers.

[PHP] PHP and OLE objects
Hi all, I am having a problem with a PHP script, in which I am using a self-written OLE object to provide data to the script. I have two other OLE DLLs that I also use in PHP scripts which work fine. I wrote all of the DLLs in Borland Delphi, btw. (I am running PHP 4.0.6 and Apache 1.3.20 on Windows 2000 Pro) For some reason, whenever I try to access one of the Char/String variables (in only this DLL) from PHP, it returns a warning: "Error in php_OLECHAR_to_char()". I have been trying to fix this problem for some time now, and am having no luck finding a source. I have had this message before, but it was easily fixed by setting a default value for the strings (in the DLLs) to a single ascii-32, so that the return would not be blank. The only difference between this object and the others is that the low-level delphi code uses pointer variables to set up the data access, whereas the others do not. I have used this object in other non-PHP projects (and tests :) and it works as it is intended to. Also, all other types of variables in the object are intact. Can anyone suggest a source of this problem? On what conditions does php_OLECHAR_to_char() error out?

[PHP] Problem querying postgres
Hi, I am new to postgres using PHP. I have gotten PHP POSTGRES and PHPADMIN installed and have a database setup using PHPADMIN. The problem that I am having is that when I connect to postgres outside of PHPADMIN and try use pg_query() to do a select such as "SELECT PersonID FROM person" the string that is sent is "select personid from person". Now this is a problem because in the data base the field PersonID is not the same case as in the select that is sent and I get the error Warning: pg_query(): Query failed: ERROR: column "personid" does not exist in /Users/jcapy2/Sites/Jesper/SyncPosgresToMbrMaxData.php on line 70 If I change the field to all lower case in the database this does not happen. Also I can isue this select within PHPADMIN and it does work! Can anyone tell me where the setting(s)are that are controling how php is sending strings?

The version of PHP used by Apache may not necessarily have been configured the same way as the one you're using on the command line. Try phpinfo() to determine what's there, and recompile/reinstall if you're lacking PG support.

Again, I don't know the legalities of it so I defer. If you have to encrypt them then I'm not sure how you would run any %LIKE% query unless you went through and decrypted them OTF when running the query. This (I don't believe) can be done in MySQL (or any other RDB) so it would have to be done in memory. Depending on the table size that gets annoyingly slow. If the SSN's must be encrypted, and you aren't encrypting the parts separately ( enc - enc - enc) I don't think you will be able to run a %LIKE% query simply.

foreach($array as $key1 => $value)
{
foreach($value as $key2 => $value)
{
// Use $key1, $key2, and $value here
}
}
My question is how does this translate into the C code I will have to write?
If anyone has a decent extension building tutorial that would be great too.

Re: [PHP] Question about translating assoc. arrays to C
Jim-
Yes, that was a typo. The issues was I didn't cut / paste and instead retyped
it. Should be
foreach($array as $key1 => $list)
{
foreach($list as $key2 => $value)
I will check those links out, I had the first one not the second.

Re: [PHP] Zend framework

Yes, yes I did.
And note that my Java code is incorrect, that should simply be public static
void, no function.
This is what I get for taking a week to code everything in Node.js.

Re: [PHP] newbie question about code
Adam- It is unique. I'm writing code that really can't be done any other way. How it handles events, sockets, etc is exceptional. The best part is everything now is JavaScript. The server (Node.js) is written in JavaScript. MongoDB is JavaScript. The frontend used to manage the WebSocket is entirely JavaScript. I have essentially replaced J2EE as the backend with Node and I couldn't be happier. Of course standard JavaScript woes apply. Debugging is a royal pain in the ass. Your code can and will suddenly fail due to odd strange errors. There are stability concerns with Node, it is version 0.2 after all. It won't replace PHP or Java as an enterprise level solution, but it does fill in the gaps very nicely.

Re: [PHP] 1984 (Big Brother)
Tedd- Would he consider access to another database? I.e. a separate, say memcached db which stores the "boss" status? An issue with the temporary file would also be session length, if the session expires without the user explicitly logging off, the file wouldn't be removed. A way to bypass this would be to add some sort of session expiration header to the file and update that. And couldn't you make a simple check if the boss is logged in or not by the ability to access the database?

Re: [PHP] tedd's Friday Post ($ per line)
I'm not sure this is even worth answering. The question isn't how many lines of code were written but percentage of the project completed. If he estimated 8 months, worked for 4 months, and was 50% done, he should get half his estimate. Hourly rates wouldn't come into it unless the client thought it would be cheaper to simply pay him for his time rather then the bid. Subject the following to my poor legal knowledge: I would also guess that if he was under contract with a company to provide a product for a set dollar amount then wouldn't the company be forced to complete it's half so to speak?

In the case payment does come down to lines of code written I'm already covered.
