RE: [PHP] form validataion?

Usually if-statements and regex's are used to validate data... If you just want to make sure the form is filled out completely, you could do this: (which is how I do it) if(empty($name) || empty($address) || empty($phone)) { // Form is not complete echo 'Name: \n"; echo '

RE: [PHP] 3rd include

For reference, in case anyone cares-- from within functions, I usually just do: global $HTTP_POST_VARS; extract($HTTP_POST_VARS); ...to account for the scope of the form vars. -Original Message- From: Mark Roedel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 4:08 PM To:

RE: [PHP] MySQL connection

How exactly is the username/password from the mysql_connect() call shown to the browser? I normally just get a PHP error when the db connection can't be made. No code is shown, just a line number. If, in your case, PHP dumps the source code to the browser window when the db connection won't wor

RE: [PHP] debugger_on() undefined?

PHP docs are weak on debugger_on() because the debugger isn't a feature in PHP 4 :) It was not included in the transition from PHP 3 to 4. You'll have to use a 3rd-party debugger for PHP code. Search the archives for this list, it has been discussed in the past. -Original Message-

RE: [PHP] pdflib + pdf_findfont

I got the same error message, and couldn't figure out why... In the example for pdf_findfont(), it has: $font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Times New Roman", "winansi", 1); Try changing your embed parameter to 0... $font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Times New Roman", "winansi", 0); ... That fixed it for me

RE: [PHP] Making gd Extensions

Banning PHP from your system just because GD won't compile with it seems a bit drastic... You have to realize that the PHP developers don't really have anything to do with GD, pdflib, etc... they have added support for them into the PHP language, but an issue with one of these external libraries

Doesn't PHP exec sendmail when mail() is called anyway? (Unless you run another MTA, of course) I would think they'd take the same amount of time, unless there is overhead with using popen() --Matt -Original Message- From: Chris Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, Septemb

RE: [PHP] Ordering a query

You could insert a ternary operation... ($order?$order:"defaultfield") Is the same as: if($order) echo $order; else echo "defaultfield"; ... $result = mysql_query("SELECT articles.title,vote.votes,vote.total,articles.date,staff.firstname,artic les.content,articles.id FROM st
