We are running a webform, that asks for user ID and pass, then passes it on
to a .php3 file that shows them a page to continue (not a security thing,
just a tracking thing).

This .php3 file, called login.php3 works just fine in IE but when viewed in
netscape it simply shows a white screen. We did a "view source" and all of
the php file is there, and it doesn't show any errors (HTML errors blink in
the 'view source' with Netscape).

I don't see any closing table tags. IE allows people to get away with
a vast number of errors in their HTML, which is why you can see it in
IE. As per the HTML spec, closing table tags are required.

Good web design rule of thumb: Always check against Netscape. If it
renders in Netscape, odds are it'll render in IE. The reverse is not
true.

Try closing your table here... or putting the new table in a <td>. Netscape
is very picky with tables.

Sounds like you may be missing a piece of a table. Make sure all your table, tr, td type tags have a closing tag. IE is more forgiving...

Mainly because your closing 'table' tag is missing its slash. The duplicated 'head' and 'body' tags probably aren't helping either.

Whenever this problem exists, run your site through here :

Actually, always run sites through there, it's useful (sometimes a bit picky.) For things like missing table tags, it's very helpful.

I find dealing with Netscape browsers a pain. So many people complain that IE doesn't follow the standards, but I find it the other way around. Especially when it comes to Stylesheets, even using CSS Level 1, which is like 5 years old. Netscape just plain ignores alot of attributes, or handles them different from the spec, that it makes it such a pain getting a page to look the same in both. Arg

Better still, download the 'tidy' utility from the same site - or even better, use a free editor like HTML-Kit (www.chami.com) that embeds 'tidy'

I believe <?php is needed if you want your scripts to be valid XML.

Ben

attached mail follows:

I`m writing one html class for my own usage, but I`ve got some problems. Take a look at the example: $ht -> row(2,'','first,second'); This works fine ('first,second' represents an array). But now, when I want to do something like that: $ht -> row(2,'','$something,second'); then it displays $something and second, but I don´t want $something, rather the value of it. When I write just $ht -> row(1,'',$something); it works as expected.

Note: Don`t ask about the other atributes, they are not important. How could I get it to work? If I do something like this: $ht -> row(2,'','".$something.",second'); Then still, it echos me ".$something." and second, but not the $somethings value (and the second).

I hope you understand what I need.

Hi! Does anyone know of some good examples of sessions?

-- Evelio Martínez

attached mail follows:

this is as simple and complex as it gets.

session_start; session_register("my_var");

now say we do:

$my_var = 5;

any script, page, whatever you serve that calls $my_var will return 5. Once you change the variable, $my_var will now be that new value in every bit of code.

All you have to do is call session_start; on every script that will use your session variable.

ONLY call session_register() ONCE for each of your variables. If you call it once on one script and the variable it set to 5. And then you register is again it will lose the value and will be reset. So, usually you test for it in an include (which contains you session_start;).

if (!isset($my_var)) session_register("my_var");

Easy cheesey.

Two possibilities I can think of:

(1) Is your echo statement above within a function? If so, you have to globalize it, or pass it as a function parameter:

function zaphod($beeblebrox) { return '<div align="center">'. $beeblebrox. '</div>'; }

echo zaphod($contents); or

function zaphod() { global $contents; return '<div align="center">'. $contents. '</div>'; }

echo zaphod();

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php

for more info.

(2) The register_globals parameter is not set. This must be on if you want GET/POST/COOKIE etc. parameters to be automagically converted to variables. This can be set in php.ini, .htaccess, or httpd.conf, and can also be programmatically set and checked via ini_set() and ini_get(), respectively. If this is NOT set, you'll have to refer to your GET parameter as

$HTTP_GET_VARS['contents']

I've put together a fairly simple XML parser that outputs embeded objects as a DOM. You can see that the XML files get parsed correctly (print "Open: $tag" etc for the proper functions..) and built the DOM correctly (print_r ( $this->dom ) at the last close_tag () call) but even after displaying the variable that holds the dom it for some reason resets that variable to the previous value ( example set $this->dom = 'goatpoo' ) as soon as it leaves that function although the other variables accessed all keep their proper values.. this happens even if i change the name of the dom variable. i checked and no where i can see does it rewrite that variable. i am using an object for the parsing xml_object() or whatever it's called sets it.. i was wondering if there might be a bug in PHP or am I just doing something wrong? I can supply my source if you like. Thanks.

Hum... I wouldn't like it, anyway. Hmmm, is there any other way to pass "stdin" to an external program, other than using echo and a pipe?. I've also tried by placing echo and gpg in the php "exec dir" and chown'ing them to the uid.gid of the php script, and it didn't work.

I've seen a lot of Chatsites that run without Clientside Java, it can't be such a weird approach, I don't think the admins of the System the chat is going to be run on would like an irc server on their machines.

on standard transaction servers where you post a string containing the transaction info (card, name, amount, login, password, etc) do the following:

get a merchant account sign up for authorize.net, ccnow, ibill, etc. use an application called cURL to post the info to the server from php. dump the returned message into any array. look at the array and dependent on what is returned, either mark the purchase as successful, forward them to a thank you page, update the db, whatever and ship it. otherwise forward to a page that says what went wrong.

this is a concise overview, as writing the actual code is beyond the scope of this thread, especially considering you did not post the actual code it will work with.

if you're hacking code from another app, you may just want to consider writing a cart form scratch. it ain't hard. if you're decent with php, any cart you write will be better than any pre-existing one. because you can code it to fit your needs to a TEE.

I've done this. Once I did everything in CF. Today, I do everything in PHP and have not looked back. PHP is faster, easier and far less taxing on the server than CF.

Basically, once you know the syntax and functions of PHP, converting is pretty easy, although time consuming. What you need to do is create the same functionality in PHP, then you take whatever HTML you had in the CFM files, and use that either as an include file or you can include it directly in the PHP. Just remember to change all those #variables# to $variables. As long as you keep the same names, porting the sites is not that hard. Although I feel for you since you have 500 pages to do. Unfortunately I don't know of any utility that can do this automatically; perhaps it's time we who know both languages make one...

The push for a change from CF to PHP was not a monetary consideration but the ways that PHP and CF differ. For example, while not an 'officially' supported product (meaning there is no 800 number to call and have your hand held) it is MUCH easier to get help from a mailing list (such as this one) than it is to get an answer from Allaire. Also, either it was our configuration (doubtful) or CF but it does not seem to be very stable on *NIX platforms which is all that our servers run. PHP is also more powerful with the ability to do more in the way of functions without having to worry about writing custom tags and then worry about somebody using them in a malicious manner, you simply write a function and then user server side security to lock it down in a directory that is unreachable by the public. There were more reasons, but most of these were personal.

I have been trying to think of a way to use XSLT to transform CFML in to PHP, but since HTML and CFML are not necessarily valid XML I am not to sure if this would work. It would seem to me though that if you could write an XSLT template for each CFML tag then you could do this relatively easily. If anybody has any ideas as how to make XSLT ignore the fact that every HTML tag does not necessarily have a closing tag I would be happy to _try_ to write an XSLT stylesheet.

Using combinations of:

$string=implode(file("http address"), ""); $array=explode("<some starter tag>", $string); $array=explode("<some end tag>", $array[1]);

$endString=$array[0];

With the odd ereg_replace() to tweak the data you can grab info from wherever you want. However, you should get permission from the site, since this would count as a hit/page view on their site.

Kurt,

I fought with this same problem for about an hour today. For me there was something changed when the file was downloaded that made it corrupt... I think it was a LF to a CR + LF or something. I tried Dling the file with Lynx on a linux machine and it was still corrupt. My fix was to DL the file on a windows machine and then FTP the file to my unix box in ASCII mode (NOT BINARY). I don't know why or what was causing the problem, but that is how I fixed it.

Now I'm trying to install it ;)

Hope that helps

In one of your posts you posed a url to a script you were working on...and I backed up a directory and it gave me a directory listing...one folder was /admin/ it gave another listing...then showed phpMyAdmin and then it gave your full db schema...no passwords or anything...i was able to insert a record...and a user to your mysql server... password is (abc123) that's all i did...nothing else...and i'd hardly consider that a hack...more of a "browse"

Funny enough, the function you are looking for is:

urlencode();

You'll want to read the section of the manual dealing with variable scope, especially as it relates to functions. The section on passing by reference may also be of interest at this point...

Because it's a pain to have error messages popping up all the time? Here is what I do with every query I every write:

$query="yada yada"; $result=mysql_query($query, $connection); if($result=="" || $result=="0") { //if it is a page for my use, I print the error // if it is a page for the general public, I email the //error to myself, and print "There was a problem //completing your request", or something like that. print "Error : ".mysql_error($connection)."<br>\n"; } else { while($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)) { //do whatever you want to do with the data. } }

I greatly prefer this to display "0 is not a mysql result index" for everyone to see, if/when something goes wrong.

Yes, I subscribe to this PHP-XML mailing list, but it is very low volume.

I'd encourage anyone considering using XML/XSL/SOAP/RSS to join this list, so that XML and SOAP can be easily used with a PHP web app environment.

I've used ASP/COM when I really wanted to use PHP, but the Microsoft SOAP servers/listeners made XML communication much easier, especially since I'm new to SOAP.

Of course, trying to print $url_array will print "Array". You just turned the $REQUEST_URI string into an array (that being what explode does).

If you want Mike to know the name of the file he's on, print $PHP_SELF. The info the location bar (not counting the root domain name)? print $REQUEST_URI. The domain name? $HTTP_HOST

I don't understand why it doesn't work. But it has something to do with my imagecolorallocate function, I just know it.

My apologies. I should have said what line the error was on. The problem lines was $text = "\n";. I tried an experiment and put a space before the \ and that got rid of the error. Go figure.

thanks for pointing that out. i've not had showstoppers with make install-program yet. but i've had minor problems with apache, php and packages that i need in php (gd, snmp, etc, on FreeBSD, Linux, etc) and i'm sure i'll be needing make install-include (or similar/other make targets) sometime very soon.

Hi All,

Anyone wrestled with the Zend Debugger Setup. Having downloaded the test drive of the IDE and Debugger and the test drive license file followed the docs to the letter. It still isnt running. once i include zend_extention="/usr/local/Zend/ZendDebugger.so" in the php.ini file apache wont restart. Using Apache 1.3.14 & PHP 4.03pl1 debug mode is not enabled as the docs say so this should all work fine also its not exactly clear where that line should be in php.ini I have sent the query to Zend as well but maybe the list will be quicker

Cheers Steven

Dear Sir, I have two problems in using PHP. Could you help me? I am using Red-Hat to build up my System. Could I use Perl to control some PHP program? Also, could I run my PHP program in Linux Console? Sorry to disturb you THx! Kevin Ng
