    Hi!

    Well I would like to move a file from one directoy to
    another using php and a web browser.
    I could just find a function to move an uploaded file
    but not a normal file which is allready there in some
    directory.

    Is there any way I can move a file from one directory
    to another and also is tehre any way I can delete a
    particluar file in a directory..

    Thank You!
    Cheers!~

    These are probably you are looking for.

    http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dir.php
    (working with directory)
    http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php
    (copy(), unlink() etc)

    You might want to use sysetm() or like with care.
    (Note: I'm not recommending to use system() to move
    or delete files. Use of system() could make security hole easily)
    http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php
    (system(), exec(),etc)

    look at the filesystem functions: rename () (or safer: copy()+unlink()) unlink()

    I haven't tried it but would rename work?, i.e. rename("old_path/file.txt", "new_path/file.txt")

    > > Is there any way I can move a file from one directory > to another and also is tehre any way I can delete a > particluar file in a directory..

    unlink();

    Hi,

    I have a page, and when I have to add a product I use a form, many people are used to make double click in every task, so when the product is sent with a double click in the send button, the program send it twice to the data base.

    What can I do to prevent this?

    Thank you.

    Use something like this <script language="JavaScript"> var submitcount=0; function checkSubmit(s)

    if (submitcount == 0) { submitcount++; s.value = " Sending... "; return true; } else { alert("This form has already been submitted. Thanks!"); return false; } } </script> <input type="button" value="Proceed" name="send" onClick="if (checkSubmit(this.form.send)) this.form.submit();">

    From what I've read in the manual one is a post increment and the other is a pre increment.

    YOu may not see the difference in a loop statement... but if you use simple variables like the php manual does, you'll get different results.

    one is post-increment, and one is pre-increment:

    POST-increment ($i++) $i = 1; print $i++; print "\n" print $i;

    prints : 1 2 becuase $i is printed out and *then* it is incremented, so the next print statement prints out the incremented value, not the print $i++; statement

    PRE-increment (++$i) $i = 1; print ++$i; print "\n" print $i;

    prints : 2 2 becuase $i is incremented, and *then* printed out.

    You need to tell the mail reader that the message is HTML, using a Content-Type header. Plus your message is not well-formed HTML anyway (message should be an HTML document, not HTML inside plain text). Try this:

    <?php $mailTo = "foofoo.com"; $mailSubject = "test"; $mailBody = "<html><body>Dear sir, \n\n"; $mailBody .= "Below is the link you can click on, \n\n"; $mailBody .= "Please Click <a href=\"http://www.php.net\">Here</a> to view the request details</body></html>"; $mailHeaders = "From: mailto:technicalactivelifestyle.com\n"; $mailHeaders .= "Content-Type: text/html\n"; mail($mailTo, $mailSubject, $mailBody, $mailHeaders); ?>

    You don't need to write <a href=.....> for outlook , if you put space before and after URL unless you want to send HTML mail. Outlook thinks it's a URL if you write correct URL and many other UMA treats URL or Email address as link.

    i.e. www.php.net is not correct URL, my outlook express thinks it is a URL though... http://www.php.net/ is correct URL and you should be able to click it to open it.

    If you want to send HTML mail, take a look at whole HTML formatted mail including headers in your mail box. You will get how to compose HTML formatted mail.

    Hi,

    I have problem when using curl function to redirect to page. I use it when I need to check for valid informations on the and because there are passwords, I don't want to send it via GET in url. So I use curl to redirect to the originating page. The script's name is saveplacer.php. I use this code: $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"$HTTP_REFERER"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $poststring = "placerid=$placerid" .. "&" . "pwd=$pwd" ); curl_exec ($ch); curl_close ($ch);

    Redirecting works, desired page shows up, but in browser's urlbar I get http://mydomain/mysite/saveplacer.php and not http://mydomain/mysite/add1.php as expected. I have checked the script for empty spaces, headers, but nothing there. It shows the add1.php script and url is different. Has anyone experienced this? I use Apache 1.3.17/PHP 4.0.4Pl1 on Windoze 2000 Pro. Even I don't think it's anything to do with the problem.

    Better still - use the set_error_handler() to define an error handler that will output your debug statement and create your dbug message using trigger_error(). Your registered error_handler will automatically receive line number, file name and some other useful parameters.

    that won't work since __LINE__ returns the exact line where it's used... so it will always show the line of the function header... ____________________________ . Christian Dechery (lemming) . http://www.tanamesa.com.br . Gaita-L Owner / Web Developer

    Okay, simple enough.

    Pass __LINE__ as one of its arguments and just use a real variable name on the function declaration.

    function debuginfo($msg, $line_num) { echo"<b>the message is $msg, at line $line_num </b><br>"; }

    debuginfo($msg, __LINE__);

    This will probably result in a line number that is one integer bigger than what you want. For instance the error happened on line 40 and you are actually calling this function on line 42. You can then just substract 2 from that and you will get the real line number. It's ugly, but works (or should anyway ;).

    The NAME attribute of the FORM element is intended for scripting purposes only.

    But you should be able to achieve the desired effect with a hidden INPUT element:

    <form name="someform" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="formname" value="someform"> </form>

    Well, I'd say it depends. For only a bit of simple data it's fine. But for more the optimizations of a database (indices etc) may make the db faster (remember most of the DB will be in RAM as well). And a database is just *much* simpler and safer to use.

    include () is surely wrong for that. fpassthru (as someone else mentioned), file() and (my personal favourite) readfile() are the functions of choice

    I'd like to run this past anyone who'd care to comment before I get too far down the track I'm considering taking with a PHP web portal site.

    Is it a wise idea to have a PHP web application running on multiple databases? Everything I've done to date has run off one database, no matter how large it got. With the current small portal site, the idea is to break a monolithic database up into around 10 smaller databases, each of which should be able to be backed up to a floppy. Not all databases are called on each page, but up to 6 or so could be.

    What are the performance implications (slower, obviously, but 10 times slower?). Performance beyond what the human mind can perceive is not relevant to me.

    Should I use mysql_connect or mysql_pconnect for each db connection ?

    Should I be careful to use mysql_close with each connection?

    Any advice appreciated.

    Do you mean 10 different database servers, or 10 databases on the one server?

    As far as I know, separate databases on the one server give the same performance as separate tables in one database.

    With separate database servers you will run into new problems such as:

    -) additional connection overhead for each server, if you need to access more than one server in a page -) can't combine data from servers, e.g. can't JOIN tables

    Persistent connections may or may not help. Using persistent connections could negate the connection time overhead, but you get a memory overhead instead - if you have 40 connections open, there's got to be 40 mysqld processes (threads?) running too.

    OK ... I didn't realise I could join tables across seperate databases. Anywhere where joins are necessary, I'm using the one database.

    Well, I'm pretty sure on that, but don't quote me ;-)

    If you think about it though, each table is just a set of files in a directory with the name of the database. It should not be any slower to access a table in one directory compared to a table in another directory (unless you split those directories onto separate physical disks or somesuch - but you could do the same thing using symlinks and one database).

    As for implementation in your script, you do not need to reconnect to access a different database; just do mysql_select_db("dbname") to switch between the databases. Or use mysql_db_query("dbname", "query").

    However, there is probably no point in using 10 different databases - save yourself some complication and just use one.

    Indeed you can:

    If you get *really much* traffic, it's wise to split things up to 2 or 3 databases (each on a dedicated machine):

    * Normal data * Session data * evtl. Cached pages / parts

    > each of which should be able to be backed up to a floppy. Not all

    If each part fits on a floppy, forget it. For these sizes it'n not worth the effort (and can, in fact, slow down things)

    I didn't test it in PHP (only in wscript.exe), but it seems the example is wrong. It should be (line 4 -> 4a, 4b):

    excel_handle = new COM("Excel.Application"); //line2 excel_handle.Visible = true; //line3 workbook = excel_handle.Workbooks.Add(); //4a worksheet=workbook.WorkSheets.Add(); //4b worksheet.Cells(1,1).Value = "Name"; //line5 worksheet.SaveAs("temp.xls"); //line6 excel_handle.quit(); //line7

    This seems to work.

    Hey!

    I've just joined this mailing-list, therefore, first of all, I would like to say hello to everybody.

    Now, regarding the issue..

    As some of you might know, handling with Hebrew websites is rather difficult. Hebrew words often come-out in reversed order (i.e. 'lmth' instead of 'html').

    I'm working on a php3 script which would help me do the following - Load an existing HTML file which consists Hebrew words (as well as English words and HTML tags), then reversing the Hebrew words back to order.

    The problem I'm dealing with is how to reverse only the Hebrew words and not the entire document, which contains HTML tags and English words as well. The function 'hebrev()' does the process of reversing, but it reverses tags as well.

    I would really appreciate it, if anyone will find some spare time to help me.

    Hi Aviv

    Let me give you a small tip about Hebrew on the net.

    The proper Hebrew code which was adopted by the Israeli Institute of Standards is the Logical standard. This standard is automatically supported by IE 4.x and 5.x and also by Netscape 6.x.

    The percentage of not IE4.x or 5.x users in Israel is less than 3%.

    3 of the major portals in Israel (Walla, Nana and MSN) are already moving to

    logical Hebrew.

    So why use Visual Hebrew?

    In case you decide to go with Visual in any case, did you try hebrevc()?

    From what I know and have seen so far, there are more than just 3% Internet users in Israel which use Netscape 4.x (I use it myself...). Are you sure that I should just ignore these people, and just use logical Hebrew?

    Also, quite a lot of people started using Opera lately.. (ain't speaking about Israeli users). Does Opera supports Logical Hebrew? If so, from which version?

    Best Regards -

    Hi all!

    I have a question as to the optimal method of counting and storing votes in an online poll.

    Once a user answers the poll by clicking on one of three options, I am performing a query on a table which holds values for each option. Currently I - query the table to get the current count - increment the count by 1 - UPDATE the table with the new value

    I wonder: what happens if two users submit the answer simulatneously, and the answer is the same. Will only of those votes register? Or will the SQL somehow be "queued" so that both are counted?

    If the former - is there any other, better way to do this?

    I am using mySQL as the database, and PHP to process the form and execute the query.

    Please CC your response to the address above also.

    TIA

    And so you should wonder :)

    You have created a race condition - if the table is updated between your SELECT and your UPDATE, then your UPDATE will be using incorrect values.

    The solution is very simple - instead of querying the current value and incrementing it in PHP, let MySQL do the work:

    UPDATE polls SET votecount=votecount+1 WHERE pollid=$poll

    There are all sorts of manipulations you can do to the data during queries, and they're all usually much better than trying to do the same thing in your application.

    Hi!

    I think I just found a bug in php.

    I try to upload a file of size 37.0 K and you know what happens.,,

    The browser takes its own time..and the stupid thing doesnot upload the file.

    If I upload a file of size 2k then it uploads..

    I have specified the file size in the form as :

    <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="upload.php" METHOD="POST"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000">

    In Php.ini file I have found 8M is the maximum size..

    I am running php 4.0.3pl1 wioth Apache on Windows 98. I also have a server on Cqhost.com

    I have seen the same happen there,.too...

    Is this a bug or a problem..??

    Please Reply

    Hi , in fact it doesn't do much ( at least on the couple browser I tested it) : whatever you put as a limit the file will upload ... this is a p.. in the a... because if you do the check on the server it can only be done when the upload is complete : pretty unfair to tell the user that he has no more space when he spent 20 minutes uploading a file ( we use audio files and they might be fairly big)

    but apart from that I recently upgraded to 4.04pl1 and I have the same problem (which didn't happen before) that is described by Dhaval , running on Linux (RHT 7.0 with plenty'o patch ... , Apache 1.3.14) ...

    changing the max file size doesn't do much :-(

    the uploaded file seems to have 'type multipart...' and other junk caracters added at the beginning of the file after the copy (which returns a success error code !!!)

    it seems to be a bug in 4.04pl1

    help ....

    I haven't done so yet but it's certainly on my 'to do' list. We do a simple drawing program for schools which exports SVG, and I had toyed with the idea of generating an SVG extension module for PHP, however I couldn't dream up many functions which you couldn't easily implement in php itself.

    Hi, I'm having problems with the PHP CGI binary (version 4.0.4pl1). The bug is basically the bug reported here: http://bugs.php.net/bugs.php?id=8506

    It's exactly the same problem, replicated, now we need the CGI binary version working, not only does this look very unprofessional on the sites, but it means cookies cannot work. This has been reported last December and it's a fairly serious problem (basically makes the CGI binary close to unuseable for us) Does anyone know of a fix, I tried messing around with Actions and AddHandlers in Apache but to no avail. Would anyone have an inkling as to what I might be doing wrong? Or is it just a bug that needs to be fixed asap? Phil.

    Is it possible, in PHP, for a page to determine if it was accessed via a form's submission (POST/GET)?

    No problems at all, only reason I would recommend a different extension is that you can disallow the viewing of the included files in apache with the extension ".inc" as follows: <Files ~ "\.inc$"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Files>

    I don't know what examples you mean, but:

    the name of the included/required file in PHP does not matter. However the best thing is always to use the extention "*.php" to make sure the files are always going thru the PHP interpreter, even when someone access them directly by its URL.

    Well, you could simply use a shell script....

    use something like

    mylsq -psomepassword dbname -H -e "SQL-QUERY" | html2ps | lpr

    -H puts out HTML-format

    -e executes the query in ""

    html2ps formats the output to postscript, which is printed via lpr...

    works fine with me...

    you could simply include this in your crontab....

    Redhat 6.1 Linux PHP 4.0.4pl1 Apache 1.3.14

    Anyone using "include_once"? I'm executing a PHP script "A.php" by referring to it in my Netscape browser URL - script A.php does an include_once of "B.php" - B.php contains a database connect function that does a connect to an Oracle database.

    I purposely brought down the Oracle database to force a connect error. I have an "error_log" statement in the connect failure that prints to our webserver error log - the connect error was reported fine. ***THEN, I added more text to the error_log output for that connect failure, but the new text is *NOT* appearing in any subsequent connect failures.

    Why won't my new text appear in the error? I've tried changing the "include_once" to "include", and the same thing happened. I even tried restarting the webserver, but it had no affect.

    This is driving me nuts! Help please.

    TIA.

    The problem is that (for example perl) the program returns a bunch of BS = that isn't needed. Does anyone know of a way to access this info = easily? Maybe capture the return in a string and then parse to the = numbers? Not sure how I should do this. Any info would be helpful. = Thanks.

    I.e. with perl try using: perl -e 'print $]'

    In other cases "preg_match" would be helpful, I guess.

    Hello,

    First a bit of background, I'm running apache 1.3.12, php 4.03 and MySQL 3.23.22 under the Windows platform.

    My problem is simply that when I write stuff to database tables full stops are represented as copyright symbols when I view the data again. This is probably me just being stupid - I'm guessing I've overlooked something obvious.

    If you need more information just ask me,

    It also seems you have a semicolon in your query, mysql_query() specifically states not to have on at the end of your queries, so I am guessing this may be a factor...

    Hi,

    I've heard that it is possible, for security reasons, to disable such functions like phpinfo(). How can I do this?

    Batonik's [weirdopoczta.onet.pl] 15 lines of wisdom included: :>Hi, :> :> I've heard that it is possible, for security reasons, to disable :>such functions like phpinfo(). How can I do this?

    You can edit the sources... PHP4: $PHP_BASE_DIR/ext/standard/basic_functions.c

    You're looking for a struct called function_entry basic_functions[]

    On my version (4.0.4-pl1) it's on line 91. Your functions are listed there..

    for example, delete line "PHP_FE(time, NULL)" which is on line 100 on my version disables the time function. However, why you want to disable functions is beyond me, to make PHP "safe" you're going to have to disable a LOT of functions..

    There might be some PHP4 way to disable functions, I think there might be some way to do it from php.ini, but I can't find it offhand. Phil.

    why can't I redefine __LINE__?

    like define(LN,__LINE__);

    it's a rather big constant to put in code to generate my error messages, I was thinking more of L, or LN... but if I redefine it, it assumes the value of de redefine() line of code... so it's not really redefining a constant it's only atributing LN the value of __LINE__...

    and in the manual I saw examples where redefining constants were used... ____________________________ . Christian Dechery (lemming) . http://www.tanamesa.com.br . Gaita-L Owner / Web Developer

    attached mail follows:


    define() gives you a literal copy of the value of the second parameter. In this case your second parameter is __LINE__. The value of __LINE__ represents the current line number of the define statement. Once defined the value assigned remains constant, irrespective of whether or not __LINE__ changes later on. You could 'redefine' the value - but you'd just get the line number of the redefinition.

    You really want a reference (pointer) to the __LINE__ constant, however, you can't have references to constants. So, you just plain can't do it.

    If you think about it, this is a pain only with the parser 'constants', you wouldn't need a reference to your own constants as they never change.

    Can't I change the default value for error type in user_error or trigger_error?

    I wanted to echo an error everytime a query failed because of syntax errors so I'd to something like:

    this would do exactly what I need when an query fails cuz of syntax error: - echoes the error, the query and the line of code - stop the execution of the script

    I NEED all of those, and that E_USER_ERROR in every call is making that function call get huge. Isn't there a way I can't default it to that instead of E_USER_NOTICE (which doesn't really help)... ____________________________ . Christian Dechery (lemming) . http://www.tanamesa.com.br .

    I just noticed a problem with iPlanet...

    Appearently once I got php working, then I tried geting things working on multiple virtual domains. So this is what happens. Using the standard test.php <?php phpinfo(); ?>.

    The script works from the root directory of each virtual domain.

    What doesn't work is and directory's under the root directory. basicly returns a error message that says it cannot find the file, and that's due to the fact that it's looking at the following line in the obj.conf file. This is for the main one.

    Nametrans fn="document-root" root="/usr/netscape/server4/docs"

    Then I change it to reflect it for the virtual domain and it works for that virtual domain, but no others and then all of the sudden if there's anything on the main page, ofcourse that doesn't work.

    help.

    Hello everyone... I've been developing a PHP app here for a while now, and I have been encountering some most frustrating situations in which something will work in IE but not Netscape. Some of this seems to be IE's allowances for sloppy coding... :) But here's a new one. I have a form, that if you were to submit this form once, it will always retain the same value. I.E. I enter a value, hit OK. Then I press the back button. Then I enter a DIFFERENT value, and hit OK. The SAME value is passed to the PHP script! I'm using the post method, and I haven't found a way to shake this yet! This is afflicting Netscape 4.7 and Netscape 6. Driving me crazy....
