[PHP] Re: PHP_AUTH_USER failing, please help me...
Just a quick guess that register_globals is probably turned off (check
with a phpinfo() to be sure) and therefore $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW
are not being set.
Or, try $_SERVER[PHP_AUTH_USER], etc...

Re: [PHP] ini function like ini_set and ini_alter
Reread the docs here (the table):

You cannot set this directive at runtime. Using .htaccess
is as close as you'll get to that. I see no reason why
using auto_prepend_file here would be better than include()

Re: [PHP] trouble with update from php 3 to php 4.2.3
If you want to do relative includes, you must have a . in
your include_path. Maybe this is what you are meaning to
do. Please reread this:
http://www.php.net/configuration.directives.php#ini.include-path
And if you still have problems after adjusting it and restarting
the web server, tell us your include_path definition and make
sure it's the same as reported in phpinfo().

Re: [PHP] GD installation - Simple Question
To use the bundled gd just do: --enable-gd Note that 4.3.0 is the first distro that includes a bundled GD. Also note that as of 4.3.0 just doing --with-gd will also use the bundled GD. Before this, --with-gd (no directory specified) would look for a local copy. That seems odd yes but theory is it means more people will use the preferred bundled GD now. To use a non-bundled, you must specify the path so: --with-gd=/path/to/gd/dir Note: It's strongly recommended to use the bundled GD.

Re: [PHP] Execute a cgi inside of php?
The error you get does not have to do with that note,
but rather that code of yours has many other issues
such as:
a) The syntax is incorrect
print "a b " c " d"; // bad
print "a b \" c \" d"; // good
print "a b ' c ' d"; // good
print 'a b " c " d'; // good
...
http://www.php.net/types.string
b) You are attempting to mix SSI into PHP
You can't do that, just like how one can't
write PERL or ASP code in PHP.
Some options:
a) Using virtual()
virtual("../cgi-bin/include/horoscopes.cgi");
b) Go through HTTP
$url = 'http://www.example.com/foo/horoscopes.cgi';
echo implode('', file($url));
c) Rewrite horoscopes.cgi as PHP
This is the ideal option, consider doing this
in the future.
That manual note you referred to has to do with code
such as (http == remote file):
include 'http://www.example.com/foo.php';
Which would include the output of that url into the
webpage. This is unrelated and remember that parse errors
are always due to syntax problems.

Philip Olson

Re: [PHP] Using fopen() to open a php file with variables.
Why don't you just use include?
$month = 12;
$year = 2002;
// This include has access to the above variables
include 'make_calendar.php3';
Include it wherever you intended to print $caledar_html.
It doesn't exist in your code because the url is seen as
part of the filename.

Re: [PHP] MySQL error
You need to do some error handling, as in:
> $mysql_result = mysql_query($query, $mysql_link);
>
> // get each row
>
> --> line 36 while($row = mysql_fetch_row($mysql_result))

Make sure $mysql_result is a valid resource as PHP
is telling you it's not. Here's one way:
if (!$mysql_result) {
echo "DB Error ($query) : " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($mysql_result)) {
}
See? We made sure $mysql_result isn't false as the
function mysql_query returns false on failure. If
it is false, we print some useful info out to
debug it. In production, you most likely won't want
to print it out but anyway...
For a more complete example, see:
http://www.php.net/mysql_fetch_assoc
Btw, being that there is a function named mysql_result
I wouldn't create a variable by that name, kinda confusing.
Regards,
Philip Olson
p.s. mysql_error is your friend.

Re: [PHP] Don't get variable to be passed to the page on submit
Read this:
http://www.php.net/variables.external
Pay special attention to the parts about the PHP
directive register_globals.
If on, both $_GET['nafn'] and $nafn will exist. If
off, $nafn will not exist. As of PHP 4.2.0, the default
for this in php.ini went from on to off.
This applies to all variables, even web server variables
such as PHP_SELF so you'd use: $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], etc.
Regards,
Philip Olson
P.s. So you want your query to look more like this:
$sql = INSERT INTO $db_imgCat (catName, subCat)
VALUES ('{$_GET['nafn']}', 0)";
P.s.s. Consider validating nafn first, users are evil.
P.s.s.s. Use $_SESSION instead of session_register

RE: [PHP] Array
I'm not sure what is meant in this thread but arrays
are pretty simple. PHP allows both numerical and
associative arrays (although in all reality they all
are associative) but anyway:
$arr1 = array('a','b','c', 42 => 'yep');
print $arr1[0]; // a
print $arr1[1]; // b
print $arr1[2]; // c
print $arr1[42]; // yep
$arr1[] = 'd';
print $arr1[43]; // d
$arr2 = array('a' => 'apple', 'blah');
print $arr2['a']; // apple
print $arr2[0]; // blah
Anyway the best way to see what values an array
actually has is with print_r() or var_dump()
print_r($arr2);
That code quoted from "PHP Bible" has many issues,
it isn't generic at all. Please ignore it or at
least keep in mind the context of it. A more
generic form of it:
function print_keys_and_values($arr) {
foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
print "Key: $key - Value: $value\n";
}
}
Please read the following manual entries on arrays:
http://www.php.net/types.array
http://www.php.net/foreach
Play around with them for awhile and they'll
eventually make sense. Regarding the original
question of this thread, see print_r() as I
blame a typo or something... or maybe it's a
variable scope issue. Your example looks fine.
Regards,
Philip Olson
P.s: Essentially
numerical == numbered keys
associative == worded keys

Because ' $name' != '$name' so zero rows are returned. So
remove the leading space from your query and you'll get
one row..

Because there are 12 rows, not 13 ;) Check again or simply
test it:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users";
if (!$result = mysql_query($sql)) {
echo "Could not run query ($sql) " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$rows[] = $row;
}
print "";
print "Returned: " . count($rows) . " and num_rows: $count\n";
print_r($rows);

Nope.

Re: [PHP] Re: mysql_num_rows
First, there is no reason to do mycounter like this
when mysql_num_rows() will work perfectly. It's not
based on any certain column numbers or primary keys.
Although if you're suggesting this method to simply
print 0-n in the loop (as users may want to know the
row number of output not any id number) then that's
good altough it's not really a counter in this case.
Second, we assume this person wants a count for
informational purposes, to go along with the
data in which case mysql_num_rows() is your best
bet. It means having a count before the data is
printed/used. And checking the number or rows
returned before fetching is a form of error handling
as well as if it equals 0 than there is no data to
fetch. But if one ONLY wants a number of rows count,
doing SELECT count(*)... works great as suggested
below.

Philip Olson

Re: [PHP] Re: mysql_num_rows
And now mysql4 allows doing this another way, I *assume*
this new way is slightly faster then the additional
count() although I haven't tested it and wonder if it
affects mysql_num_rows()...
See: SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS()

How about:
if (!$conn = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass)) {
include 'static_html.inc';
exit;
}
print "Welcome, yes the database is connected";
exit ends the script, nothing after its use is executed.

RE: [PHP] Problem with sessions.
For the record, variables are case sensitive so it's
$_SESSION not $_session.
And if you're going to use $_SESSION (which you should),
do not use session_register().

Re: [PHP] syntax to reference $_POST within function
First, read this:
http://www.php.net/variables.external
Second, assuming you have a PHP version equal to
or greater than 4.1.0 and the method of the form
is POST, you'd do something like this:
$banlist = array('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
echo check_banlist($banlist, $_POST['email']);
Your question sounds like you're wondering if the
function definition should change, it doesn't. You
leave it as $email and use $email within the function.
This is just how functions work, you pass in values.
So:
function foo ($email) {
print $email;
}
foo($_POST['email']);
// Or as you used to do with register_globals
foo($email);
Or you could always just do:
function bar () {
print $_POST['email'];
}
bar();
This is why they are SUPERglobals, because this is
what you would have done in the past (old school):
function baz () {
global $email, $HTTP_POST_VARS;
print $email;
print $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
}
Also it's worth mentioning that $HTTP_POST_VARS has
existed since PHP 3, so just in case that might be
important to you too. It is not super.
Now if you don't care if 'email' comes from GET, POST,
or COOKIE ... you could use $_REQUEST['email']. Or,
import_request_variables() is another option. For
example:
import_request_variables('p', 'p_');
print $p_email;
See the manual for details, and have fun! It really
isn't that complicated and you'll be yelling out
Eureka! pretty soon now.
Regards,
Philip Olson
P.s. Superglobals work with register_globals on or off.

Re: [PHP] syntax to reference $_POST within function
This is a very important point to understand, I tried (and
failed) to explain it. I think Leif made it pretty
clear though, here's another :)
// $a can be anything when you call the function
function bar ($a) {
print $a;
}
bar ('Hello World');
bar ($_POST['something']);

Re: [PHP] Loading modules not compiled in php
Aspell is deprecated in favor of Pspell in PHP so
using it is a bad idea. But you can do this to
get Pspell going:
a) On either the JTL box or on some other one
with the same operating system, get the php
source and get ready to compile.
http://www.php.net/downloads
b) Be sure the appropriate libraries are available
as per the instructions found here:
http://www.php.net/pspell
c) Configure PHP like so:
./configure --with-apxs --with-pspell=shared
d) Then build it:
make
e) This will then create the module which will
exist in:
yourphpsourcedir/modules/pspell.so
f) Copy this file somewhere on your web server and
in the php script load it with dl() like so:
dl('pspell.so');
Easier said then done I know but the above is a
possibility ;) You may want to ask them if they
could create this .so so that clients can load
it dynamically, that would be ideal.

Philip Olson

Re: [PHP] Forms and PHP variables
is_numeric() will work with variables just fine. So:
if (is_numeric($var)) {
print "Yep, it's numeric";
} else {
print "Nope, it sure isn't a number";
}
Make sure $var is defined. If it's coming from a
form then use $_POST['var'] or similar instead for
reasons described here:
http://www.php.net/variables.external

[PHP] Re: query join 2 databases? or match up arrays?
Hmm... what about querying the informix database for the set of rows you want all at once, putting that into a temporary mysql table with a timestamp and then doing the rest of your work from there. Then the next time it happens check the timestamp on that mysql table and if it's out of date, delete it and go and fetch updated rows from informix, otherwise just use what's in that mysql table. This would act as a sort of replicated table, but only taking into account the records that are actually being hit... maybe?

GD is not "standard equipment", a "special" version is just bundled in PHP source now. It sounds like you are using windows, this bundling has no affect on the windows distribution as it included all the pre-compiled binaries already, including GD's. In fact, I bet you already have a GD binary and just need to uncomment out in your php.ini but anyway 4.1.1 is old so you should upgrade.

Replace your last line with this...

would do the same thing (check the man page for sure).

Re: [PHP] Java call on object causes segfault.
Whenever you get a segfault, try the latest
stable release and during compile be sure to
use --enable-debug
:
http://snaps.php.net/
If the segfault exists here, write a bug report
and include the backtrace:
http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
http://bugs.php.net/
This will be of great help to the php-dev team. Also
I believe many changes to the Java extension went
into 4.3.0 so maybe it'll work for you.

[PHP] Re: multiple entry forms !!
Use several smaller forms and store the results of each into a session variable. Also store a "got-results-for-form-1" (through 7) that gets set for each of the 7 forms. Once all 7 are set you can do the final processing. Set the action of each form to say "save.php" and pass in a "saving_what" field". save.php can then do a switch on the saving_what field to determine what needs checking/storing/etc. Works good for me.

For something like this, just use readfile() and not fread
as it'd be much more efficient if you don't actually manipulate
the string $contents. So:
readfile($filename); // note: do not use echo
Also, what is your include_path setting? It's important
you know it and what it means as that'll answer the
question in your last post:
print ini_get('include_path');
http://www.php.net/manual/configuration.directives.php#ini.include-path
Also, no need for "exit" here as that happens automatically.

Or why not:
$lookingfor = 'somebutton';
if (isset($_REQUEST[{$lookingfor . '_x'}])) {
print "Found it, a button named $lookingfor was clicked";
}
Or something, I think this is what you mean? Whatever the
problem, there will be a solution ... don't stress :) But
regarding the problem here, I don't get what you mean. How
familiar are you with arrays? Anyway, as Chris stated, the
name/value will be available in the appropriate autoglobal
which will be $_POST or $_GET, and/or $_REQUEST.

It's as of PHP 4.2.0 that the default value of the
register_globals directive went from on to off. It is
this directive that pollutes your script with these
variables and it's recommended to not use them and
leave this deprecated directive off. Now what happened
in PHP 4.1.0 was the introduction of autoglobals but
this is all described in various places in the manual
and here's such a place that links to others:
http://www.php.net/variables.external
May as well read this too:
http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php
Where have you been, hibernating? :)

[PHP] Re: php question - query string
You've got it right... look at the man page for parse_str() for more info
on the QUERY_STRING stuff as well as the register_globals configuration
option.
Looking at the script below, there is nothing special about setting
$addjoke to 1. It's just important that it is set to *something* (because
of the isset($addjoke) call. You could set it to whatever you want, but
setting it to 1 is commonly done to indicate "trueness" or "it's on".
You could set it to "yes" if you wanted and the script would work the
same.
Hope this helps.

Install the php-mysql rpm, restart apache, and they will
now exist. (assuming you already installed the mysql rpm)
In short, there are three rpms: php, mysql, and php-mysql.

Using arrays with forms is in a faq: http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.arrays How do you feel this should be expanded? Mentioning that unchecked checkboxes do not pass values, and that the default value is 'on' (if checked) ... would be good too.

Ideally one faq would explain it for all types, checkboxes or otherwise. Making it short/concise and understandable for all user levels (such as newbies) is the tricky part.

There is a bug in PHP 4.3.0 regarding the use of arrays
in strings. The following gave a parse error before
PHP 4.3.0:
print "Do not do this: $arr['key']";
Now it gives an E_NOTICE error due to changes to the string
scanner. In PHP 4.3.1 it will no longer give a bogus E_NOTICE
and instead it will work (no parse error either). Surrounding
the array with {braces} in the string works regardless, so:
print "You can do this: {$arr['key']}";
Regarding this question, don't write it like that but instead
do the following (no quotes needed):
echo $new['company'];
For those wondering about this bug, see:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=21820
The string documentation has been updated to demonstrate
the array in string phenomena (except the bug hasn't been
mentioned as I'm waiting for it to be committed first).
http://www.php.net/types.string
Sunfire, you aren't seeing this E_NOTICE error because your
error level is turned down (by default). Put this on top
of your script to see them all:
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Whoever told you this should be shot as this is an enormous
security hole! The above is a security hole much larger
than register_globals could ever hope to be. That and it's
silly to attempt to mimic register_globals at runtime.
The above is insecure in that it will overwrite web server
variables ($_SERVER) with request variables such as those
from $_GET. This is TERRIBLE!!! Just imagine this as
just an example:
http://www.example.com/a.php?PHP_SELF=http://www.foo.com
In the above scenerio, this would create $PHP_SELF
first from $_SERVER then it'd be overwritten by the
$_GET and than by the $_REQUEST that had the GET in
it. So this makes it inefficient and insecure :) A
better example exists but anyway this should show a
nice point (like maybe PHP_AUTH_PW or REMOTE_USER).
Anyway, sorry for the rant but it's just that whoever
told you that should not tell anyone anything related
to this topic.
The best options are:
a) rewrite the code or
b) set register_globals with .htaccess or php.ini
or in virtualhost in httpd.conf
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php
Now if you must set it at runtime (please do not do this)
then you could try this:
// THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED
if (!ini_get('register_globals')) {
$types_to_register = array('GET','POST','COOKIE',
'SESSION','SERVER');
foreach ($types_to_register as $type) {
if (@count(${'HTTP_' . $type . '_VARS'}) > 0) {
extract(${'HTTP_' . $type . '_VARS'}, EXTR_OVERWRITE);
}
}
}
// THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED
Although it doesn't depend on the variables_order directive
like register_globals does, it is flexible. Keep in mind
that variables are written from first to last so you
certainly don't want GET coming after SERVER.

Yep, that will do it and has been available in PHP for a
very long time (along with __FILE__). PHP 4.3.0 introduces
the following:
__FUNCTION__ Function name
__CLASS__ Class name
debug_backtrace() Debugging information including the
line number

echo takes on commas as we can echo multiple variables which
isn't something we can do with print. This is also the main
difference between echo and print. So, the commas are okay
here but as someone else already stated, echo doesn't behave
like printf so no special %formatting% with echo.

By default a checked checkbox has the value of 'on' but this
can be changed to anything. So for example:
One can use IN to delete them all, for example:
$ids = implode(',', $_POST['id']);
$sql = "DELETE FROM divx
WHERE id IN ($ids)";
Anyway, you mention $del so you should make sure that
this variable even exists as for it to exist automatically
you need the register_globals directive to be on. Odds
are it's off and you should code with it off. I assume
we are using method="POST" in the form. See:
http://www.php.net/variables.external
Debugging101 would have you do: print $sql;
And lastly, posting a TON of code won't get you very
far. I just ignored it and based my response on the
one above.

No offense Sunfire but I don't think you're ready to
be answering questions. Please spend some more time
learning first and then start answering ;) Although
your point of using quotes was good, just say so
without code as the above would always result in
the value "Array".
In a more general sense, it's most likely $Foo has a
space in it or a quote or some undesireable character:
// good html
// bad html (value becomes 'a' not 'a var')
Regarding other possible goodies in $var such as
characters like < or > or " or whatever ... read
this faq:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.encoding
If the error is something else it's because you did
not describe the question very well. Knowing the
error would be a huge help.

That seems very doable... look at the date() function, in particular the options to return week number, day of week (0-6), etc. Then it's just some conditionals, and substractions to get back to the right sunday, and then add 14 (or is it 13?) days to get the right saturday. Just remember to do it all the math as the number of seconds since 1970 (look at time() and strtotime()) and you'll be fine. -philip -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Through time Sunfire will learn PHP and provide useful replies. I don't feel my reply was degrading. You have cut-n-pasted my reply to be somewhat out of context. At any rate, thanks, but I disagree. I may have been a little harsh but chalk it up as frustration towards some of the replies I see on this list. A lot of PHP newbies try too hard to help so Sunfire, I am sorry if I offended you but *my opinions* still stand. Good luck with learning PHP.
