are you using a spec cart system? or did you write your own? its hard to
give an accurate answer without knowing. Ive wrote my own simple cart, using
sessions, to delete an item I just unset the variable.

unset($stockno['1234']);

where $stockno is an session array variable. its very spec on what software
your using.

I am writing my own system. It is using cookies to give a temp id number. When you choose something from the menu it uses the stock number to generate a description and cart page. I was thinking about using the stock number with a db query to delete the row. I am not sure about the best way to accomplish this.

attached mail follows:

here is a very simple cart in sessions. you have stockno and quan, it can be easily modified to handle various other variables.

<?php

class cart {

function add($product_id, $product_quan = 1) { if ($product_quan < 1) $product_quan = 1;

$this->cart_product_id[$product_id] = $product_id; $this->cart_product_quan[$product_id] = $product_quan; }

function add_single($var_name) { if ( !isset($GLOBALS[$var_name]) ) return ;

$this->add($GLOBALS[$var_name], 1); }

function add_multiple($var_name) { if ( !isset($GLOBALS[$var_name]) ) return ;

foreach($GLOBALS[$var_name] as $pos => $val) $this->add($pos, $quan); }

function delete($product_id) { unset($this->cart_product_id[$product_id]); unset($this->cart_product_quan[$product_id]);

if ( !count($this->cart_product_id) ) { unset($this->cart_product_id); unset($this->cart_product_quan); } }

function delete_multiple($var_name) { if ( !isset($GLOBALS[$var_name]) ) return ;

foreach($GLOBALS[$var_name] as $pos => $val) $this->delete($pos); }

function update($product_id, $product_quan) { if ($product_quan < 1) $product_quan = 1;

$this->cart_product_id[$product_id] = $product_id; $this->cart_product_quan[$product_id] = $product_quan; }

function update_multiple($var_name) { if ( !isset($GLOBALS[$var_name]) ) return ;

foreach ($GLOBALS[$var_name] as $pos => $val) $this->update($pos, $val); } }

$cart = new cart;

if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['cart'])) { $cart = new cart(); session_register('cart'); } ?>

Thanks Chris, It is a little late in the design to use your class, but it has given me an idea on how to delete from my code.

Thanks Gary

here is another go:

i can't test this as i am on a windows box at the moment, but i think you can get the gist of it.

change the working directory of php and then extract from another file.

Don't calls to system() live within their own shell and environment? If so you may need to:

system("cd /destination/dir && tar -xpf /some/path/to/tarfile.tar");

this will also insure that if the cd fails for some reason, tar will not execute.

Don't calls to system() live within their own shell and environment? If so you may need to:

system("cd /destination/dir && tar -xpf /some/path/to/tarfile.tar");

this will also insure that if the cd fails for some reason, tar will not execute.

good point. i should think before i post.

here is another go:

<? chdir("destination"); system("tar -xpf /some/path/to/mytar.tar"); ?>

i can't test this as i am on a windows box at the moment, but i think you can get the gist of it.

change the working directory of php and then extract from another file.

That just untars it into the current dir the php script is in.

have you tried:

mv mytar.tar /my/path/to/dir/; tar -xpf /my/path/to/dir/mytar.tar

this should work, but there may be a more direct unix-y way to do it.

Hello,

I am making a php file that untars files. What I can't seem to figure out is how to untar a file into another folder. I have tried:

tar -xpf file.tar /new/folder/*

& and &

tar -xpf file.tar /new/folder/

does anyone know how to do this?

Try just specifying the path.... system("tar -xvf /home/httpd/html/file.tar /home/httpd/html/filedirectory/.");

Let me know if this helps.

I don't think so... I just tried to add:

php_value SMTP 'mail.mydomain.com' php_value sendmail_from 'memydomain.com' php_value sendmail_path ' '

into my Apache configuration, and PHP is still sending mail thru the local sendmail rather than qmail on my main server. I wish it would work as it would take care of a problem I am having. It looks like I may have to dig out the Sendmail book, and do some work on it to take control of bounce messages when PHP's mail() function tries to send to an invalid address.

Also, if I use:

php_value sendmail_path ''

Apache will not run. I get an error that php_value must have two parameters. I am not complaining, it is just something I noticed while testing.

FYI, I would like to see this work on UNIX, so I have submitted a feature request to have it added:

http://bugs.php.net/?id=9308

Anybody else think this would be good to have?

Hmm. Couldn't tell you, I don't have Netscape.

The only bug reports so far, all involve a relatively minor config tweak. I've had no problem reports on my page.

You might do something like:

pageA.php ------------------------------------- <?

if( user_realy_wants_page_b ) { include( 'pageb.php' ); exit; }

?> Page A starts here... -------------------------------------

That all happens on the server, and does not require anything outside of page A to implement.

In the example above, any variables set in page A will be visible in page B when it is included. The values must be set BEFORE the include() is hit.

switch ( $Desired_Action ) {

case 'PageA' : include( 'pagea.php' ); break;

case 'PageB' : include( 'pageb.php' ); break;

case 'PageC' : include( 'pagec.php' ); break;

default: include( 'defailt.php' ); break;

}

would be one possibility.

I agree...

The red book "Professional PHP Programming" (WROX "Programmer to Programmer" series) is an exellent PHP book

but, if you're looking for novice level stuff, WROX also published a companion called "Beginning PHP4".

i was fluent in perl when i picked up the professional one, and had no problems with it... but i wouldnt reccomend it to people with little or no programming experience... the professional book seems to take for granted a grasp of fundamental programming concepts, if you're a true novice, get the "beginning php4" one first (and then professional :)

The most useful "second" book is :

PHP Developers Cookbook

It really is nice. I say "second" because it's geared towards those that understand a bit already but still, it'll even help the complete newbie (easy to read). Excellent tips, short-cuts, examples, etc. Includes uses of various PEAR classes too.

> Does die() give you a line number? If not, just put it in there.

No, die() does not add to your message.

Here is how I solved the problem:

function Query( $Query ) { global $ShowQueries;

$Result = mysql_query( $Query );

if( !$Result ) echo( mysql_error() . " in Query at $__LINE__ in $__FILE__<BR>\n$Query<BR>\n" ); elseif( $ShowQueries ) echo( "$Query<BR>\n" );

return( $Result );

}

usage:

$Result = Query( "SELECT fielda, fieldb. fieldc, fieldd, fielde " . " fieldf, fieldg, fieldh " . "FROM Table1 " . "LEFT JOIN Table2 USING( common_field ) " . "WHERE condition1 = '$Value1' " . " AND condition2 > '$Value2' " . "ORDER BY SortField " );

Every query I've written goes thru this function. A couple of things about this:

The queries jump out at you when you are looking at the source code.

When you have an error in a query you get the mysql_error() message and the entire query printed just below it. I've found that quite handy for debugging.

Almost every one of my programs has

#$ShowQueries='on';

very near the top of the file. If I am not sure just what it is doing to the database, I just un-comment this line and each query string is printed as it is executed. I've used it enough that I just add the line in every program, or use a template that includes it.

I get the line and file of the include file. Also, note that the $'s should not be in there, I just removed them from the latest version of the include file too, as it doesn't help much.

The idea of being able to get the line and file name info of where a function was called from has come up on the developers list a couple of times, and I'd love to see it happen, but it was shot down, and I'm pretty sure it won't happen. The only way to do it would be like:

function Query( $Query, $Line, $File ) { .. }

and call it like:

Query( $SomeQuery, __LINE__, __FILE__ );

CORBA is a distributed object standard. You say you're a technology director?

I really wouldn't ask this if I wasn't completely exausted, but the last thing I feel like doing just now is reading up on this when someone can probably answer it in a matter of seconds.....

OK, I've an error handling page. Basically, I want to split (that might even be one of the functions I'll have to use) this sort of url:

error.php?/pages/login.php?username=name

into:

/pages/login.php

I'm using :

header("location: error.php?page=$REQUEST_URI");

When echoing the request_uri back on the error page, it omits the error.php? bit, so I get:

The reason I want to do this is so that I can use a re-login form that will submit to the page the user has badly logged into, so if they logged in to main.php, the request_uri would be something like:

/pages/main.php?username=name

Which I'd want to rebuild on the error page, into a form, like:

<form method="post" action=<? echo "$REQUEST_URI"; /* Minus the suffix the page may include */ ?>"> Username: <input type="text" name="username"><r> etc</form>

Can anyone help?

An exceptionally easy way to do this would be to pass both $PHP_SELF and $REQUEST_URI.

Alternatively, you can use explode():

<?php $array = explode('?',$REQUEST_URI); ?>

i'd use split, to split the value up into an array:

if this is your url $url = "/pages/error.php?/pages/login.php?user=scott";

and use this code: $thing = split('\?', $url); print $thing[0] ." <BR>\n "; print $thing[1] ." <BR>\n "; print $thing[2] ." <BR>\n ";

output will be: /pages/error.php /pages/login.php user=scottx

Is the PHP split command the same as that in Perl?

ex.

($var_1, $var_2) = split(/:/,$string, 2);

will something like that work?

with slight modifications, yes... that will work.

1) PHP doesnt support built-in regexp's (which is a constant sore in the side of any perl programmer) so you'll have to ditch the /:/ for ':'

2) you have to declare lists as list(), unlike the assumed behaviour in perl when it sees () = ...

this is how you'd do it in PHP $str = 'C:programs:this:that.exe'; list($one, $two) = split(':', $str); print $one ."<BR>\n"; print $two ."<BR>\n";

not very different, but different enough to be annoying :)

Dear PHP experts,

I am trying to install PHP as a servlet. I have Apache+Tomcat (Apache v1.3.17, PHP 4.0.4pl1, Tomcat 3.2.1) running with mod_jk fine as far as I can tell: I have no problem executing ordinary servlets and jsp. I have merged the web.xml file into examples/web.xml and made a php subdirectory. The problem is, when I try to execute PHP, I get the following error:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no php_java (libphp_java.so) in java.library.path [Stack dump here]

Upon reload of the page, I get java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: send which I assume is just a byproduct of the larger problem, namely:

From what I understand, what this means is that it's finding net.php.servlet fine, and then from there, it's trying to ldopen libphp_java.so, but it can't find it in the java.library.path. So, I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the directory containing libphp_java.so, namely /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-zts-20001214/

Having done that, when I restart Tomcat, the following happens:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-zts-20001214/libphp_java.so: /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-zts-20001214/libphp_java.so: undefined symbol: _zval_ptr_dtor

Can anyone help? Basically we have just been fiddling with httpd.conf, tomcat.conf, tomcat.properties, php.ini (I don't think it ever gets that far, but worth a shot), ld.so.conf, trying to get it to do something. I didn't see a java.library.path directive in tomcat.properties. Should there be one there? Or am I totally on the wrong track?

If anyone out there can help, such as Sam Ruby for instance ;), I would be MOST appreciative. Me and the sysadmin have been banging our heads against this for days, and I need to show my boss that this really can work, or else he's going to make me give up. Please CC me on the response, since I am not yet subscribed to this list, since I don't think I can handle the traffic.

Thanks very much.

And add to this that then you can place the script you want to run out of the web tree, just in case you run something sensitive :)

How can I create a file input that reads from a directory on the server instead of the users machine

Jerry Lake - jerryleuropa.com Web Designer Europa Communications - http://www.europa.com Pacifier Online - http://www.pacifier.com

attached mail follows:

to put it simply, you can't...

but you could put an input type of text with a link or a button next to it manually, and then on the onClick of either this button or link open a secondary window running a PHP script that reads a particular directory structure with full navigation support. Then when the user clicks a filename, place that into the input in the first window and close the secondary window.

However, this would require JavaScript and a full recursive directory browser script in PHP. I have something similiar to this in a content manager script I've written, but it doesn't check other directories. It picks an image from an /ImageLibrary/ directory, allowing the user to preview an image, upload new images, delete images, rename images, but most importantly pick a filename. Then it populates a field in the content manager screen for saving to a database.

trim() will suffice.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.trim.php

-Brian

attached mail follows:

Trim() will in fact only strip whitespace from the beginning or end of the string; if he has \n's anywhere in the middle of the string, trim will do perform the desired operation.

Ereg_replace() is unnecessary for a simple search/replace operation; str_replace() will suffice and is faster to some degree.

Try: $str = str_replace("\n", '', $str);

i've been using the header("...") approach myself, but was curious to see if there's a builtin PHP function that will accomplish the same thing....

im a kind-of new PHP programmer, and havent really been exposed to too much of the language yet, but i found it quite odd that such a function seems to be absent from the core language, since it's a web based language... and moving a browser from one URL to another is quite common among web scripts.

You can set your error reporting in your php.ini file or set error_reporting() in your scripts to be very sensitive where it will tell you such things as variables that weren't defined properly. Look into http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.error-handling.php

Using PHP3/MySQL, is there a way I can select only the newest record from a MySQL table. I have a datetime field and an Auto_incremented field. Anyone got any ideas???

Brian Drexler

attached mail follows:

there are two ways that come to mind of doing this if you're using some kind of auto-incrementing field (not necessarily AUTO_INCREMENT, but any field that increases [or decreases] with time)

this will select the entire row, but limit the query to only return 1 result (and depending on how your order, this result could be the highest/lowest value of the field):

(to get highest value of field id) SELECT * FROM mytable ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 1;

(to get lowest value of field id) SELECT * FROM mytable ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1;

PS: there's probably a more efficient way to do it, but this is what came to mind at the moment...

My question is why are the PHP database functions so unportable? Is there a reason why they have to be specific to, say MySQL. It seems to me (even though I am an amatuer to this stuff) that the code should be much more easily portable from one db to another?

Do most coders add an abstraction layer themselves? Or maybe people just don't port PHP code much and so don't worry about it?

Mainly curious....

This topic is covered a lot. Right now there are two major DB abstraction packages, Manuel Lemos' Metabase ( http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/20 ) and the one that is distrubuted with PHP located in your distributions PEAR directory. Try both, see which one works better for you.

A simple to it solution is PHP Library (PHPLIB) phplib.netuse.de, or the ADODB class which Dallas was referring to you.

Using these not only makes a db more portable to you but it also easier to do connections and queries from your software.

How do i make a php and MySQL search engine?

attached mail follows:

it's such a complex question and answer that i really think you need to ponder some more fundamental design concepts before you ask for advice on actually coding the thing...

such as what type of database layout fits the type of information you will be storing/searching/retrieving, how you want to categorize the information in your database, how the interface will look and operate (do you want to allow boolean expressions, or just search for any occurence of any word in the search field)

to get a very simple searcher thing working, it's not very hard (ive done it in perl/MySQL for a site that had about 20 static HTML pages and some news stories in a database table) and it took me about half a day

however, you have to know what you want to accomplish beforehand or else you'll bang your head against the wall quite often during development :)

if you're going for an exremely simple searcher with few features and not too much flexibility, i'd reccomend creating a keyword lookup table that simply relates keywords to the thing they refer to (HTML page, PHP page, etc...)

the table might look a bit like this, if you had two pages and a total of two keywords: key | page ------|------------ "foo" | "firewall.html" "bar" | "vpn.html" "bar" | "firewall.html"

then, when people entered either "foo" or "bar" (or "foo bar") into your search field, the resulting query would be a list of pages that were associated with either (or both) of those keywords.

"foo" = "firewall.html" "bar" = "vpn.html" "foo bar" = "firewall.html" and "vpn.html"

you could possibly store the name/password as cookies, so that they're available to the PHP script without the user having to type them in more than once per session (or even longer if you set the expire date properly) i know that cookies are horribly insecure, but for purposes of a very simple validation routine, cookies are sufficient)

Since this thread is running I would like to know the gurus' opinons on the similar following situation

Suppose there is a variable like this

$var = "This is a variable ";

Now I want to strip off white spaces on the end without losing them in the middle of the sentence ..

I had figured that there is a no direct way of doing it and some thing like this works $var = trim (ereg_replace(" ","",$var));

the first argument to ereg_replace is "two spaces" so that single spaces between the words are not removed then trim to remove any space on the end which may still remain.

But I feel its still not a fool proof solution because there may be two spaces in between words some where also which will then be clubbed together.

attached mail follows:

well, there are two solutions, 1) for variables with only whitespace to be trimmed 2) variables with whitespace and \n to be trimmed

1) solution: the way i'd do it too is regexp... very similar to your solution (you're on the right track, but just needed to take that final step)

$var = "This is a variable "; print ".". ereg_replace('( +)$','',$var) .".";

this will print ".This is a variable." the regexp replaces all whitespace at the end with nothing. "$" means to match at the end, and "( +)" means to match one or more spaces

2) solution: for text with mixed linebreaks and spaces, i cannot seem to find a single regexp that'll compile, so i came up with a bad emulation of perl's s//g (global replace) by using a while loop to keep checking if there's any more crap that needs to get cut off the end... $var = "This is text with linebreaks and spaces

"; while (ereg("(\n| )$", $var)) { $var = ereg_replace("(\n+| +)$",'',$var); } print "$var<BR>\n";

prints: "This is text with linebreaks and spaces" (with no further linebreaks *or* spaces after the word "spaces")

PS: if anyone out there is more familiar with PHP/regexps than i am, could you please send me an email explaining how to get global pattern matching (ala perl's s///g command) in PHP?? i cannot seem to find any switches for ereg that make it match global

Take a look at:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.chop.php

almost identical to perl's chomp().

Use the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE), like preg_replace. Not only will you find the syntax very familiar, but the PRCE functions are also faster than their ereg equivalents.
