Gotya. The why not limit your include file to only contain those values that
are important to you. So you get something like:

varsdatabase.inc

$dbhost="xxxxx";
$dbuser="yyyyy";
$dbpass="zzzzz";

Then, in your PHP code you just rewrite this simple file. That way you don't
have to worry about parsing files etc... Just delete the existing
varsdatabase.inc and build a new one from scratch. It's no longer difficult
because it's only 3 lines long.

Basically, thats not what I'm going to do.

I'm making an administrative script such that admins can change the location
and values of the $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass in the database.inc with just a
form.

Kinda tough eh ?

I discovered the same thing, that all values from text fields ARE
text, i.e. strings. Also, that an empty field IS set upon return,
soooooooo...........

To check for empty field, check for empty STRING equivalence:
        if ( $input_var_from_form == "" ){
                Do something because filed is empty;
        } else {
                Do something because filed has a value;
        }

To make a 'safe' casting from the input string to an int, I test
        for the above test in combination with requiring the first
        char in the field to be a number. I wasn't worried that
        they all were numbers. This comes to .....

        if ( $input_var_from_form == "" || ! egrep( "^[0-9]",
$input_var_from_form ){
                Do something because not an int;
        } else {
                $input_var_from_form = (int) $input_var_from_form;
                Do something because it IS an in;
        }

I'm sure there's similar things that could be done for a float, or if an
object
was being filled by a set of form fields, all the fields would be tested
the
same way as the object filled itself.

Under some conditions (I haven't determined which)
if ($input_var_from_form == "")
doesn't work, but
if (strlen($input_var_from_form) == 0)
does.

What you are missing, Michael, is that ODBC is for access to a proprietary, commercial product from a monopolist megalith.

To use ODBC, on is accessing (pun intended) a non open source database, i.e., you gots to pay M$. This means for someone to write an open source library, they are aiming it at people who are trying to AVOID paying for M$ products OR use products where the technical support leaves a lot to be desired and there's no control over problems in the product. Pretty incompatible.

Which is not to say someone wouldn't do it, there's always a NEED for that in individual cases like yours, but there's not much of a MARKET, I would guess.

Well, pretty much the only way to do that is to copy the data line by line to another file, skipping the unwanted line. Then, replace the old file with the new. Slow, but it works.

I'm new to this list (and relatively new to PHP) so if I'm failing in some point of list ettiquette, please excuse me. I have two questions:

1) How do I return multiple data types at once from a function? For instance I might want to return 5, "apple", and true (an int, a string, and a boolean) all at once from a function.

2) How does the predefined variable $HTTP_REFERER work with forms? I know the documentation says that it doesn't work with all browsers as the browser has the actual info but I tested it with IE 5 and NS 4.7 and it worked perfectly (for me). My real concern is could it be fooled in a simple manner or even turned off by selecting different settings in either of those two browsers? Or would it require a dedicated cracker and/or someone writing their own browser to give a false report (vs. no report at all)?

Was I even clear on what I want to know? :)

Thanks. Allan

return array(5, "apple", TRUE);

IE and NS aren't the only browsers in use today. I know iCab allows the user to disable sending of HTTP_REFERER. I believe Opera may too. I'm not sure about the capabilities of Konqueror and Lynx in this regard. Also, AFAIK, no browser will send an HTTP_REFERER where the url request was typed/pasted in directly by the user, or where the request came via a bookmark. Most of the robots which visit my sites also don't leave an HTTP_REFERER. So there are some common examples of "no report".

And while I haven't actually tried this, I assume that anyone could write their own HTTP_REFERER simply by using fsockopen(). Thanks to PHP's ease of use, using fsockopen does not require one to have the skills of a "dedicated cracker".

(Relying on HTTP_REFERER for any security-related check is generally considered a Bad Idea.)

Err, obviously I meant fwrite().

Hi,

I've built a shopping cart using PHPLIB. When using the BACK or FORWARD buttons in IE, argument values are passed to the new page, inappropriately updating the information. Ack! This does not appear to be an issue with most versions of netscape.

When called with the BACK or FORWARD button is there any way to 1. force the expiration of the page (not perfectly desirable) or 2. pass the URL link only (without the attached argument string)

the example can be viewed at

select * from booking where ('$start'>=startdate and '$start'<=enddate) or ('$end'>=startdate and '$end'<=enddate)

what code should be written to actually insert booking data into the table? Because this is basically picking up data or booking from the Table that fall in this period. What i want to do is to check if any booking has been made for this period that i'm inserting now....

the logic goes:

$start = some_start_date_a_keen_punter_entered(); $end = the_date_he_wants_to_leave();

select * from booking where ('$start'>=startdate and '$start'<=enddate) or ('$end'>=startdate and '$end'<=enddate)

if (uh_ohh_I_got_a_row_back()) echo "Someone else is sleeping in the bed! No can do!", "Cheap discounts for those willing to share a bed!", "Are you gorgeous??"; else print "You got it!" insert good bits into database here

Of course this is not guaranteed safe, as you can end up with double bookings in the pico seconds between the select and the insert - but hey, how many hits a second do you expect.

To be able to include php code in otherwise full html files; most especially to allow me to do it without having to change the name of every file and fix every href in the entire site.

So, exactly how do I tell apache to do this?

I've tried this in many real-world examples. I have PHP parsing ALL files on ALL of my 8 Linux servers. (I do virtual hosting for 500 or so domains.)

Even though they're running on weak little Cobalt RaQ boxes, there has been no measurable slowdown since I switched Apache to having PHP parse all files.

I know, in THEORY, it slows it down. I haven't done deep deep benchmarks. But just real-world experience has been great. No slowdown at all.

Hi Ben.

I see your point, but it's harder to deal with in those cases.

I'd reckon most people on this list are using some type of shared hosting system anyway, where they CAN'T do that.

Creating extra users in most databases I've used is a bit of a pain, and trying to tie in your application's security with that of a database's may be problematic.

Example: we've got a system running on MSSQL7, with about 10000 user accounts, with a few different levels of permission. They all can read and write the same tables, but only the rows which correspond with their user info. Breaking that data up into 10000 tables, each with a user that only has access to that table, is just weird, imo.

At the end of the day, some process with higher permissions needs to run to be creating the 'lower' accounts anyway, in whatever fashion that may be. So anyone breaking into a machine is more than likely going to go after the main process' security info anyway.

Convert the timestamp into a string, then use substr() to get the dates out of it. Look at the on-line manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/) under String Functions.

I'm looking here at the mysql functions for PHP4.0.4 and I'm not finding what I seek...

I see that mysql_fetch_field() will get information about a field in the result set from a mysql_db_query(). What I'm wanting to find out is what the possible values are for an enum or a set.

So if I have an enum with possible values "Yes" and "No" or a set with possible values "Single", "Married", "Divorced", "Widowed", I seek a function that will return an array of strings containing those possible values.

Does such a function exist?

I suppose if not it would be possible to write one from the output of a "show columns from X" query...

Thanks!

Howdy,

I have a search cgi form that has the following function:

sub header { print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<?php include(\"mainfile.php\")\;?>\n"; print "<?php include(\"header.php\")\;?>\n"; print "<title>Search</title>\n"; }

When I use the function though, the web page (source) comes up as: <?php include("mainfile.php");?> <?php include("header.php");?> <title>Search</title> ...data <? include("footer.php"); ?>

What am I doing wrong? Why is it printing the php tags instead of executing them?

We hired a developer about a year ago to develop a web based email system for us in php. The developer is no longer around, so I am having to pick up the development on the project...When clicking on the attachment link of an email in Internet Explorer 5.5 in Windows 98, I get the save as dialog and when I select ok, it tries to save the html page. If I right click and do save target as, it gets the correct file. This all works correctly in IE 5.0 and Netscape 4.76, and what's weird is that it even works as expected in IE 5.5 running on Win2k. Can anyone offer any suggestions? I'll be glad to send any code snipplets, or info if anyone can clue me in...

" " is used in hypertext markup language (HTML). Email (unless specially encoded--MIME headers, ugh!) does not use HTML.

"/n" is a slash followed by the letter n.

"\n" is a newline on *nix system (Unix, Linux, etc.).

"\r\n" is a Wintel linebreak. It's also the standard for linebreaks within emails.

This is what I always use..

You can use the '\n' to also make your HTML sources more readable.

Greetings.

This is a part of my "reading one line" message...

If one would need to remove one line in a flatfile, how would it be done? I know there is no simple solution, and one is going to increment through the chosen file.. But how is it done? My programming skills are quite OK, but I am rather new to PHP and the for...loops doesnt work exactly the same way as in C++, thus that I have forgotten the way to read line in one file and in the same time iterate through another to write...

Remove one line?

One solution - read the entire file into an array with file() fopen() temp file to store output loop through array elements if not line to remove fwrite() current array element to open file endif end loop fclose() temp file

Then you might copy the temp file over the original, or whatever else you want to do with the files.

You would need to compile PHP as cgi (if not already done) then you can do

/path/to/php.cgi [file]

It's short circuit IF (I believe that's the right word for it). This is the same thing as doing this:

if( $r < 1 ) { $r = $config['maxResults'];

} else { $r = $r;

Hi Gurus - any suggestions here would be welcome, I'm baffled.

I have a file that does this:

<? require("function_definitions.php");

//some more stuff here, calling functions, etc.

but when I call this file, it gives me a parse error in function_definitions.php. No biggie, so I start trying to figure out what paren, quote, etc. I've forgotton, and I cannot.

The line that PHP is choking on is for a function that I'm not using in the above page, so I comment it out, thinking to go back and rewrite it later when I need it, and the parse error is still showing up on the same line!!!!

To summarize, a parse error is showing up on a file being 'required', even if the lines in question are commented out.

thanks in advance for ANY pointers.

cheers! jaxon

Look for a missing terminator (semi-colon or curly brace) just *above* the line in the error message.

Thanks for the pointer!

It was actually a missing quote " in the function declaration ABOVE the one that the error was being reported in. Quite strange.

I'm resetting set_time_limit() with each iteration of a rather long loop. Right now when the script reaches its time limit I sometimes end up getting just a blank page. Even though I call flush() within each iteration and do lots of error checking along the way, it seems to not be enough.

I could have sworn I once saw a function that would check whether the script was being cancelled because a timeout had occured, thereby allowing you to make a more graceful exit from the script. But now I can't seem to locate anything like that in the manual. If someone could point me to the right function, or suggest an alternative method for catching those timeouts, I would be grateful.

TIA!

Just keep track of a parent message number. You should be able to use that one field to trace any message back to a root message. And with that information, you should be able to build a "thread".

I have a script that looks for <title> tags, but it doesn't seem to be picking up the titles, can anyone tell me why?

Almost all of the web pages look like: <? if(!isset($mainfile)) { include("mainfile.php"); } if(!isset($headers_sent)) { include("header.php"); } ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Some Title</TITLE> <META NAME="Author" CONTENT="Some Name"> </HEAD> <BODY> Here's my function:

function getTitle(&$doc) { if (eregi("<title>(.*)</title>", $doc, $titlematch)) $title = trim(eregi_replace("[[:space:]]+", " " , $titlematch[1])); else $title = ""; if ($title == "") $title = "Untitled Document"; return $title; } it runs okay... But, when I use the function, everything is coming back as "Untitled Document". Any suggestions?

Can't tell you what your problem is, but FWIW here is what I use to do the job - if you can extract some useful bits from that....

<?php function get_title($target) { /* This little function will open the file passed in as $target and extract the TITLE tag and the text contained therein. If nothing is found it returns a default value. */

$contents = File($target); $exists=0; $title = ""; for($i=0; $i < count($contents);$i++){ if(eregi("<TITLE>", $contents[$i])): $exists=true; endif;

if($exists): $title .= $contents[$i]; endif;

if(eregi("</TITLE>", $contents[$i])): break; endif;

} /* End FOR */

/* Get rid of end of line in case title tag is spread over multiple lines */ $title = eregi_replace(10, "", $title); $title = eregi_replace(13, "", $title); if( (empty($title)) || (strtoupper($title) == "<TITLE></TITLE>")): $title = '<TITLE>Research Centre for Injury Studies</TITLE>'; endif; /* Clear the slashes, in case there are wonky chars in the title (Thanks, James!) */ return stripslashes($title); } /* End function get_title */ ?>

I was wondering if there was a way to execute a php3 file in UNIX so I can check for syntax, etc.? It would be similar to the command: perl [filename].

Greetings.

(yes.. I am active)

When a user loggs on, I pass the string $loggtime, that is written to a file. Whenever a this user refreshes any of the pages, certain tasks are performed, and a file's contents is checked, (which contents is a single line of time). If the $loggtime is newer, nothing would happen, but if the $loggtime is older than what is written in the file, something should happen. Any ideas of how I can compare two dates?

- Richard

ps: to all who wonders, I am writing a really small community. Now, this question is related whenever a new message is sent.. The message is written to a file, and I check that file everytime a site is refreshed. The file is arrayed with "|" as a separator. :Ds

Depending on what sort of timestamp you are getting you should be able to just do: if ($loggtime > $oldLoggtime) then...

With just a straight unix timestamp(via mktime();) this would work fine.

I forgot to mention that the timestamp is: $date_output = date("Y-m-d H:i A");

But that would work as fine correct?

If I were doing this for simplicity's sake I would alter this to be: $timestamp = mktime(); $date_output = date("Y-m-d H:i A", $timestamp); Then store the $timestamp in the (pseudo)database. Any operations I need to compare times will be done on the $timestamp data rather than the $date_output data which contains a bunch of string data that would otherwise have to be compensated for with more code.

Thanks..

So $date_output should only be used to print out current time, and $timestamp is the one I should use to compare the dates?

Hi there I am trying to build an application where a user can use an HTML form, fill out some fields, select a file from their hard drive, and have it emailed as an attachment with the contents of the form. (essentially, fill in your name and address, use my module to attach ms-word file of your resume, send email of all).

I have the part with the file upload working. I have the snipet of code from phpWizard (Sasha and Tobias) http://www.phpwizard.net/resources/phpMisc/scripts/pretty/mail.php3

I am able to make it work with an image as the attachment, but when I select an MS-WORD document, which is the goal of this application, it still thinks it's an image, and doesn't work properly.

I think my problem has something to do with the $ctype. I tried application/MSWORD, but that didn't work. I think this the line of code where the problem is:

$attachment = fread(fopen("test.doc", "r"), filesize("test.doc"));

$mail = new mime_mail(); $mail->from = "foobar.com"; $mail->headers = "Errors-To: foobar.com"; $mail->to = "barfoo.com"; $mail->subject = "Testing..."; $mail->body = "This is just a test.";

$mail->add_attachment("$attachment", "test.doc", "application/msword"); $mail->send();

Can anyone shed some light on this? Please??????

I am not sure whether it is my local cache my ISP's cache. Anyhow, can anyone suggest a tag or something for me to put in my page so it refreshes and bypasses the cache? It is getting _REALLY_ annoying :\ Thanks,
