it's important to remember that what you have here is NOT a 2d array. $array
is an array, each element of which can be any sort of variable ...
e.g.
$array[1] = "fred";
$array[2] = Array();
$array[3] = 1.245;

... but then try ...

foreach ($array as $thisarray)
echo(count($thisarray) . " ");

... in this case count($array[2]) = 0 but count($array[1]) = 1 ... so be
careful.

to take this a step further, PHP doesn't seem to have types at all try ...

echo 1 + true; // gives 2
echo 1 . true; // gives 11

true is a constant that seems to equate to 1, false is 0. Or is this just my
interpretation?

You are absolutely right.

True = 1
False = 0

make an if statement, or echo ...

Ummm... no, PHP does have types. You can see the difference between true and 1 if you use the === operator in your if statement rather than ==.

In your examples you were implicitly converting from a boolean type to an integer or a string. Try this:

print gettype(true) . " \n"; print gettype(0 + true) . " \n"; print gettype('' . true) . " \n";

From Allaire's (Homesite) web page:

"When InternetWorld surveyed 136 professional design firms (iXL, USWeb, Modem Media, TVisions, Organic Online, etc.) in October 1999, HomeSite was the most popular HTML tool:

Allaire HomeSite - 52.9% Bare Bones BBEdit (Mac) - 42.6% Microsoft FrontPage - 22.8% Microsoft Visual InterDev - 19.1% Sausage Software HotDog - 4.4%"

Granted this is over 1 year ago, and probably not the most scientific of polls, how does BBEdit garner 42.6% of the share when the Mac has only a 3-5% share of the worldwide computer market?

attached mail follows:

I think BBEdit can get that percentage because so many people doing web development use Macs. Even though the overall marketshare for Macs is small, there is a high concentration in the web/graphics development areas. Still, those numbers Allaire shows seem a bit out of whack to me too :)

Homesite's never crashed once on my box, and I've been using it as my main web development environment for two years. While you're right about it taking up a lot of resources, I can run all my apps at once with no problem. Generally, I have at least eight apps up at once when I'm developing - Outlook, IE, NS, Bulletproof FTP, Homesite, SQL Enterprise Manager, SQL Query Analyzer, and Sonique (gotta have tunes). Sometimes others too, depending on what I'm doing. Stuff like Fireworks, Dreamweaver, PCAnywhere, Pythonwin, InterDev, Word, Excel, Yahoo Messenger, Shomiti Surveyor, and stuff like that. Not a problem.

I'm completely happy with Homesite, myself.

Are you using 4.5.2? It runs much smoother then 4.5.1a. Haven't had a single crash since upgrading, even with Photoshop, Illustrator, & HS all runnning at the same time. The FTP integration works much better too, no hang time while opening remote files.

BBedit gets that share because I know people who use a Mac for development, just for BBedit.

Regx, ftp, custom tags, volume wide search and replace, glossaries, scriptable and attachable, syntax checking, syntax coloring (html, css, js, php, c, c++, java) entity conversion (both ways), spell checking - multiple dictionary, preview, works across external mounted volumes, (I've had 80+ windows open at one time), project organization, built-in and customizable templates, stationary, diffs, site aware, dos-unix-mac line ending conversion, state aware (remembers window placement and individual page properties), etc, etc, etc.

The only reason I have a Mac on my desk is for Bbedit. Hoping they port to OSX and allow it to run on my FBSD box.

Hi,

I'm multiplying floating numbers:

$result = $foo * $boo; and the result is like this:

echo "$result";

And the result is like this:

2.2864849511949E+190

How can I transfer this to normal-human-readable number?

Hi,

I tried

<? $foo = 2.2864849511949E+190; settype($foo,"double"); printf("%d\n", $foo) ?>

which gave me

-2147483648

echo $foo gives

2.2864849511949E+190

- This looks like the number is too large for printf (the 'human readable form' printed by printf is abviously wrong).

Does anybody know such of limits to sprintf?

You are working with VERY large numbers here. I would have said that the number is as good as you'll get in terms of human readability unless you want to see nearly 200 zeroes on the screen.

That said, I'm not sure how much use such large numbers will be to you, as when represented as floating point, the inaccuracies are phenomenal - you can't really expect to do any useful calculations with the numbers, and you're not too far away from banging into numeric overflows.

It would be interesting to know what you are doing!

Hi,

have to correct that (thanks to Adam Whitehead for pointing out).

It should be %f instead of %d. However:

'<? $foo = 2.2864849511949E+190; settype($foo,"double"); printf("%f\n", $foo) ?>' | php -q 2286484951194899000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Segmentation fault (core dumped) [benhome ben]$

This is PHP4.0.4pl1

Well, the numbers are a bit silly for doing this sort of thing, but the seg fault is clearly a bug! Can you report it please. (bugs.php.net)

Well, I *can* understand that printf () isn't prepared to handle numbers with 190 digits :)

Well, I doubt that

2286484951194899000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

is more human-readable than

2.2864849511949E+190

Perhaps you want to change it to 2.2864849511949 * 10^190

But I'd say adding a note explaining the "E" notation is simpler...

PS: The long number is, scientifically seen, also *less* correct than the 'E' form - the 'E' form states that it is a number with a precision of 16 digits, while the long one implies that it has a precision of 190 digits (which is definitely wrong).

Jeremy, I think there might be a JavaScript solution rather than a PHP solution to your problem. Depending on which link, either www.english.com or www.francais.com, the users click from www.mainurl.com you can set a cookie with JavaScript. Of course this cookie will 'remember' the user's initial language choice not the language of the page they finished on, but if the users don't swapping over and back between languages this shouldn't be a problem. Also as JavaScript is a client-side scripting language, which can be switched off, it is not 100% reliable but then neither are cookies! Paul Grant

On your splash page, instead of having it send the user directly to either the english or french site, first have it send to another page on that domain along with a variable to tell it whether it's english or french. For example, the English button would be linked to "setcookie.php?Language=English" and the French button would be linked to "setcookie.php?Language=Francais". On the setcookie.php page, use an if statement to determine which language they chose, then inside of it set the cookie then redirect them to the language site of their choice. For example:

<? if($Language=="English"){ setcookie("Language", "$Language"); header("location: http://www.english.com"); }else{ setcookie("Language", "$Language"); header("location: http://www.francais.com"); } ?>

Then on your home page, you would have it check for these cookies:

<? if($Language=="English"){ header("location: http://www.english.com"); }elseif($Language=="Francais"){ header("location: http://www.francais.com"); }else{ show_the_choice_page(); } ?>

After reading through the setcookie page on php.net, I found out that for some reason it won't let you redirect to a different site after setting the cookie. So, as a fix, change the headers on the setcookie.php page to redirect to the index page, and let the index page take care of the redirecting. -Angela

angela,

this would work if people did not switch back and forth between langauges. We have many bilingual users who want print copies, for example, in french and english. Each time they click a little tab at the top, it will switch languages and sites too, BUT will remain with the corresponding text in the other language.

thank you for your help so far, jeremy

Can anybody help with this

If I put the following statement in PHP my browser tells me that there is an error on the line.

//create sql statement $sql = "select Business_Name,Trading_Details where Business_Type = "Consultancy" and Bassingbourn != "0" from Main";

If I remove

where Business_Type = "Consultancy" and Bassingbourn != "0"

It work fine, but no variation of the above line works. Am I missing something really obvious. Please help as I am very quickly becoming bald.

Matt,

Maybe the mistake is at the quotes... Just replace the double quotes inside the select statement by single quotes...

Try something like:

<snip code> $sql = "select Business_Name,Trading_Details where Business_Type='Consultancy' and Bassingbourn != '0' from Main"; </snip code> ^ ^ ^ ^

First you have to down the NT version of php from php.net and also configure it and make it work. Then if you want any database to be working with it, then you should also download mysql from mysql.com and start the server and try to connect to mysql from php. Then you are done and you can thereafter go ahead with your programming.

Also look at tutorials and mail archives at: hotwired.com devshed.com mysql.com php.net phpbuilder.com marc.theaimsgroup.com webmonkey.com zdnet.com and many more..

Hope this helps.

See "Regular expression functions (Perl compatible)".

Let me rephrase:

--I interpreted the PHP manual to suggest POSIX over Perl. Minor comment.

--I believe the PHP docs should include a comprehensive, succinct list of regex expressions. Major comment. It was about this that I was saying "Sure seems like the PHP docs would include this don't you think?"

Sorry for the confusion.

Hmm. Minor comment on this from me: I don't see any preference in the manual.

Well, What I meant was: In the Perl-regexp section of the manual there is a detailed document on the Perl regexp syntax.

Have you reported these if the happen consistenly Im sure the Zend folk would love to hear about them so that they can fix them..

We are talking about Java and C/C++ or whatever phped is written in, Java will be slower but then you can use it on nearly any platform.

Java does not support this very well yet at all but maybe the Zend folks will sort this for a future version the 1.4 JRE should support this...

Include files must be on the webserver in the same dir as dummy.php or your include path, personally this is slightly annonying but maybe we will see this fixed in a future version..

Bullshit (sorry. I just *had* to say this :). From the manual: When prepended to an expression in PHP, any error messages that might be generated by that expression will be ignored.

It talks about error "messages".

The return value isn't affected in any way.

It sounds like you're ending your loop too soon.

Something like: $result=mysql("DB","query"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { $var = $row[0]; } echo $var;

This causes the while() loop to perform and on each loop (each result), the value of $var gets replaced with the next value. When you do this and you cause the loop to exit, you will only see the last value of $var (the last result from the query).

Try placing the "echo $var;" portion within the curly braces. This will cause the value of $var to be echoed for each result.

If I'm wrong, you'll need to send the code you are trying to use for anyone to be of much help.

Good luck...

Unix/Apache. Right now, we are using PHP Version 4.0.3pl1, but this code worked even as far back as version 3.0.5 (which is what we were using before we upgraded to 4.x).

Depends on what you mean by a compiler. If you mean a "package" that turns your PHP script into a 100% stand-alone binary executable then No, there isn't. If you mean a package that allows you to turn your text-based source into something that you can distribute and have people run, without giving out the source, then the Zend Encoder will fit the bill.

Recall that it's the Zend Engine that (internally) does the compilation into an executable form in PHP 4, so to create a standalone binary, you would need the full PHP 4 and Zend Engine "binary" functionality in the final executable as well :)

No special reason, really. I asked the question to know more about PHP. I also thought maybe, just maybe it would generate a small performance boost. However, for what I need PHP as is, performs just fine.

I understand about the full PHP4 and Zend Engine functionality, although that could be arranged as a unix shared object or Microsoft DLL. As I mentioned in another post though I really am trying to learn more about the limitations of PHP.

Thanks.

I found the possible problem and a solution.

I was putting the function below the function call. This is how it worked with Perl and I was trying to do it the same way. I couldn't figure out how to put this function earlier in the script so I put the code I wanted to re-use in a separate script and called it with include. This worked very well.

My problem is that IE5.5 cache this file. Anybody know if it`s possible to set some code in the php-file to prevent this. I have tried with metatags on both the php and the html in which the swf resides with no result. Thanks Jan

Does anyone know of a way to validate an e-mail address that was entered and submitted from a form? I would like to trap invalid syntax. Perhaps there exists a script that does just that?

I assume valid syntax is the following:

One or more characters before the sign, followed by an optional '[', then any number of letters, numbers, dashes or periods (valid domain/IP characters) ending in a period and then 2 or 3 letters (for domain suffixes) or 1 to 3 numbers (for IP addresses). An ending bracket is also allowed as it is valid syntax to have an email address like: user[255.255.255.0].

Sorry about that last E-mail! Here is what I meant:

if (preg_match ("/(.*)|(\.\.)|(\.)|(\.)|(^\.)/", $emailaddress) || preg_match ("/^.+\(\[?)[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.([a-zA-Z]{2,3}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$/",$emailaddr ess)) { print "That is a valid e-mail. \n"; } else { print "Not a valid e-mail. \n"; }

Or ,as has been mentioned before, use the Manuel Lemos email validation class which will attempt to verify that the address can recieve mail. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don" <donlclcan.com> To: "php list" <php-generallists.php.net> Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 9:50 AM Subject: [PHP] validating an e-mail address entry

Speaking of stylesheets, has anyone had problems with Netscape 4.x, stylesheets, and javascript breaking HTML tags every 4K characters? It seems like Netscape 4.x puts a newline character after 4K characters when using stylesheets and javascript. Has anyone else seen this behavior? An example of the problem would be something like this:

<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>test</TITLE> <BODY> This is a test right here. Let's assume 4K characters have been sent

The bold tag in this case gets broken up. It seems like it happens every 4K characters when using CSS and Javascript on Netscape 4.x. It's a crazy problem because it will break a page in so many different places since PHP pages are typically very dynamic and the length changes quite often. Anyone else seen this behavior?

Hello,

I have a huge folder for php files that I want to send from one server to another. Is there a way to ftp *.php using ftp instead of having to send each individual file? Does anyone have a ftp script that does this?

I'm fiddling around with the fopen function, using it on urls. I now need to know how to run a JavaScript on another page by using PHP. I know I'll be able to do it from the url if only there's a way to run JavaScript from the url (just by using an fopen). Is there a way to run a JavaScript function from a url, or from PHP? For example:

Would I be able to type something like:

http://www.someurl.com/filename/javascript:javascriptname?parameterlist=valuelist&

or is there a way PHP can do this??

Thanks.

you're looping through the all database records, assigning the values to variables, but then you never output the variables until after you exit your while() loop. This is incorrect. Time to read up on database handling in PHP...

Are you using 3.23.33? If so try removing the space between the COUNT and the open paren. It looks like there may be a bug in the latest release (seeing this problem on the mysql list for MAX, probably exists for COUNT as well).

I found that often MySQL doesn't like if there's a space between the function name and the opening bracket, i.e. try writing "COUNT(title)" instead of "COUNT (title)".

I agree, SELECT should always specify only the fields you want returned, but COUNT(*) is an optimization. From the MySQL manual:

http://www.mysql.com/doc/G/r/Group_by_functions.html

COUNT(*) is somewhat different in that it returns a count of the number of rows retrieved, whether or not they contain NULL values. COUNT(*) is optimized to return very quickly if the SELECT retrieves from one table, no other columns are retrieved, and there is no WHERE clause.

For example SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TableName will not even look at the table, it can get the number of entries from the index, and return it almost instantly. If you used SELECT COUNT(SomeField) FROM TableName MySQL would have to scan the table to make sure none of the SomeField values were NULL, which would not be included in the count. This can take quite a bit more time.

you die argument is next to worthless. change it to:

die("ERROR ".mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."<pre>$query</pre");

this should tell you everything you need to know about why your query failed.

I've checked out the shopping cart packages available for PHP and am not thrilled by any of them. Was wondering if there are a set of classes available that could be used to support a shopping cart. I'm interested in the 'back end' -- working with the actual data, rather than the front end -- the user interface. Want to build it with php + mySQL or PostgreSQL.

I want complete freedom to build the interface but don't want to reinvent the wheel for credit card validation, online credit card processing, shipping calculation, etc.

I've built a simple shopping cart for a site currently under construction. This uses a combination of javascript and php, and doesn't use database (less than 1 dozen items).

You can see an example (excuse the mess) by going to:

this code snippet won't work as a standalone. you are referencing an object that does not exist.

you are on the right track though. if you are sure that everything in the directory

I sent this off a couple days ago, but did not see it on the list ... please excuse the traffic if you are seeing this for a second time.

I am writing some code (PHP3/4 on Apache) that encrypts some text using PGP and writes it to a log_file. I am having problems getting the line breaks to remain intact from the original unencrypted version to the final decrypted version.

Here's my code:

// first I setup a variable with the message to be encrypted, // note the line breaks

$msg = " * * * * * * * * * *

BILL TO:

$type_of_card $card_number $users_name ($expiration_date)

$b_first_name $b_last_name $b_address_1 $b_address_2 $b_city, $b_state $b_zip $b_day_phone $b_night_phone $b_email

* * * * * * * * * * ";

// next I set the environment variable for PGPPATH

putenv("PGPPATH=/.pgp");

// then I place the message that is to be encrypted in a file

$fp = fopen("plaintxt", "w+");

fputs($fp, $msg);

fclose($fp);

// fyi ... if at this point, if I were to open the file plaintxt // all of my line breaks would still be there

// next I encrypt the data and write it to a file called crypted

system("/usr/local/bin/pgpe -r nickmillerworks.com -o crypted -a plaintxt");

unlink("plaintxt");

// now ... if at this point I were to open the file crypted and decrypt it // I would get my message in a long line with squares where every break should be

// here's the method I use to get this crypted data added to my log file

$fd = fopen("crypted", "r");

$msg_crypted = fread($fd, filesize("crypted"));

fclose($fd);

unlink("crypted");

$order_log = fopen("order_log", "a");

fwrite($order_log, $msg_crypted);

fclose($order_log);

So, if anyone can help me figure out a way to keep these line breaks in place all the way through to decryption, I would be VERY appreciative. I know this is possible ... because, if I take the same message from my code and place it in a text editor ... encrypt and decrypt it using my desktop PGP software ... all of the line breaks remain intact.

Please help!

Thanks,

Nick

As for getting the redeclare error, are you sure the function is not declared in the page or any other file that is included.

Sorry if this seems a little obvious..

And, on a related (but maybe not really) note. Is there anything like a PHP code obfuscator sort of like the old C shroud? I'm looking at something that reads a PHP script, looks at all include files it depends on, and then goes through them all and changes function names, class names (if any... i still write only functions... despite java and C++ experience, getting conservative in my old age), parameters and local variables?

I could go with the Zend tools, I suppose. but there isn't enough money here for that yet (third-world... who can afford software that costs the same as the salaries of 8 to 10 programmers?). someday...

in the meantime, well, i'd rather use someone else's tool than spend a month or so hacking out my own.

i'm aware that such a tool would not work as simplistically as i've said above. that's just an example :). of course i'm aware that the thing would have to go through my entire codebase and use a common symbol table/translation table for all files in the codebase :).

Even with the new Developer's Suite and reduced Encoder pricing?

Hi All, It is Friday afternoon here and I don't want to have to reinvent the wheel. What would be the easiest way to delete an item from a shopping cart? I know what is required for Mysql but I am stumped on how to implement it.

TIA Gary

Consider your self corrected... :)

register_globals is about placing GET/PUT/COOKIE/ENVIRONMENT variables into the global scope. It has nothing to do with functions.

Rasmus explained why you need to declare variables as global in EVERY function that uses them here:

You may as well get used to it, it isn't going to change any time soon...

There are many at http://php.net/books.php. Maybe Leon Atkinsons Core PHP (second edition) or Sterling Hughes Developer's Cookbook.

Hello!

Has anyone succeded installing php4 on a cobalt raq3 server? I have the following problem: If I compile php with mysql included in php distribution, it can't connect to database. For example phpMyAdmin gives me this error(it seems that mysql_error() return nothing): Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in /home/sites/site17/web/phpMyAdmin/lib.inc.php on line 255 Error

MySQL said: Back

If I compile it with option with-mysql=/usr the apache server don't start(gives a lot of SEGV). I use mysql-3.23.33, installed from rpms from www.mysql.com. Otherwise mysql works very good(ie from command line).

thanks for any help, mache
