Hi,
This might be a little of topic...
I am having real trouble with cached PHP pages, they just never seem to
refresh... I have dissabled my local cache (IE5.5 Win2k) to the best of my
knowledge (suggestions on how to do this properly welcome) but are still
having trouble.
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,

Hello,

I'd like the presense or absense of information within a database to be involved in an if statement, however I'm having trouble getting it to work. I've set up the following:

$same_Email_query = mysql_query("SELECT Email FROM phPetition WHERE Email='" . $Email . "'"); if($same_Email_query){ $error = 1; $error_html .= "This email \"" . $Email . "\" has already been used to sign the petition.<br><br>\n"; }

In this case, I'd like the mysql_query to search the database for the instance of the submitted $Email and if there is a duplicate entry in the database, then I'd like the if() statement to return an error (as lised above).

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

In a similar way I'm trying to query the database for instances of the same IPAddress:

$sameIP_query = mysql_query("SELECT FirstName,LastName,CityState,IPAddress FROM phPetition WHERE IPAddress='" . getenv('REMOTE_ADDR') . "' ORDER BY LastName"); if ($sameIP_query) { echo "The following individuals have signed this petition from the same IP: " . getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'); while ($sameIP_array = mysql_fetch_array($sameIP_query)) { echo "<LI>" . stripslashes($individuals_array["FirstName"]) . " " . stripslashes($individuals_array["LastName"]) . " from " . stripslashes($individuals_array["CityState"]); } }

If the database already has entries which have been submitted from the same IPAddress, I'd like to have those names and numbers listed.

The previous version of this code is published and available here: http://openconcept.ca/guide-petition.phtml

Thanks.

$same_Email_query is a pointer to a result set from the query and will always be true if the query succeeded - where succeeded means something like 'returned 0 or more matching rows'

What you need to do is check how many matching rows are returned by your query; if there are zero rows, the value doesn't exist in the database.

Shouldn't $individuals_array[ be $sameIP_array[ ? Consider using extract; if nothing else it makes code easier to read :-)

Hi David,

I counted the number of rows using mysql_numrows(), but I've been told that count() is way faster. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get count working.. Any ideas?

<?php echo mysql_numrows(mysql_query("select * FROM phPetition",$db));

// This should be faster, but doesn't seem to work // echo count(mysql_query("select * FROM phPetition",$db)); ?>

Great advice. This worked, therefore eliminating duplicates:

$same_Email_query = mysql_numrows(mysql_query("SELECT Email FROM phPetition WHERE Email='" . $Email . "'")); if($same_Email_query!=0){ $error = 1; $error_html .= "This email \"" . $Email . "\" has already been used to sign the petition.<br><br>\n"; }

> Shouldn't $individuals_array[ be $sameIP_array[ ? Consider using extract; > if nothing else it makes code easier to read :-)

This was a neat little solution with the extract code. I found that it started to mess up my existing scripts so I threw it in a function to keep the variables from getting mixed up.

<? function recent_signatures () { $individuals_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM phPetition ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 0,5"); while ($individuals_array = mysql_fetch_array($individuals_query)) { echo "<LI>" . stripslashes($individuals_array["FirstName"]) . " " . stripslashes($individuals_array["LastName"]) . " from " . stripslashes($individuals_array["CityState"]); $last_email=$individuals_array["Email"]; }

$sameIP_query = mysql_query("SELECT FirstName,LastName,CityState,IPAddress FROM phPetition WHERE IPAddress='" . getenv('REMOTE_ADDR') . "' ORDER BY LastName"); if (mysql_numrows($sameIP_query) != 0) { echo "<p>The following individuals have signed this petition from the same IP: " . getenv('REMOTE_ADDR') . "<br>"; while ($sameIP_array = mysql_fetch_array($sameIP_query)) { extract ($sameIP_array); echo "<LI>" . stripslashes($FirstName) . " " . stripslashes($LastName) . " from " . stripslashes($CityState); // echo "<LI>" . stripslashes($sameIP_array["FirstName"]) . " " . stripslashes($sameIP_array["LastName"]) . " from " . stripslashes($sameIP_array["CityState"]); } } } recent_signatures (); ?>

Thanks Again.

$result= mysql_query("select count(*) as cnt FROM phPetition",$db)); if ($result) { $row = mysql_fetch_object($result); echo 'count: ', $row->cnt, '<br>'; } Regards,

Who told you that? Refer them to the manual which will tell them that count will 'count the elements in a variable' or in other words tell you how many elements an array has. mysql_numrows is the way to go here.

Oh, hang on, maybe they mean the SQL count - "SELECT COUNT(*) as numrows FROM phPetition" and then look at the value of numrows

Yes, this can be quicker (for varying values of quicker) depending on the number of rows in the table, the way the table is indexed etc etc. But if it would mean another call to the database over and above another query then you may be offsetting any savings you get. For the case of one or zero rows, it's probably insignificant. Unless you are running this on an old Altos 8086 or somesuch?

In a nutshell, if something is giving you a noticable slowdown, it probably isn't that difference.

Hello Again,

Can anyone tell me what the best form of Email validation there is? It needs to be quick & as open to - and . as possible.

I've seen the following:

<? if (eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*$", $Email)) { $error = 1; $error_html .= "This email address is invalid: " . $Email; echo $error_html; } ?>

But this one looks quite impressive too:

<? function checkaddress($mail) { if ( !ereg( "^([0-9,a-z,A-Z]+) ([.,_] ([0-9,a-z,A-Z]+))*[] ([0-9,a-z,A-Z]+)([.,_,-]([0-9,a-z,A-Z] +))*[.]([0-9,a-z,A-Z]){2}([0-9,a-z,A-Z])?$", $mail ) ) { return false; } else { return true; } } ?>

Not sure which is the best.

We use this one on www.inww.com:

<? Function validEmail($emailaddress) { // Decides if the email address is valid. Checks syntax and MX records, // for total smartass value. Returns "valid", "invalid-mx" or // "invalid-form". // Validates the email address. I guess it works. *shrug* if (eregi("^[0-9a-z]([-_.]?[0-9a-z])*[0-9a-z]([-.]?[0-9a-z])*\\.[a-z]{2,3}$", $emailaddress, $check)) { //if ( getmxrr(substr(strstr($check[0], ''), 1), $validate_email_temp) ) if ( checkdnsrr(substr(strstr($check[0], ''), 1), "ANY") ) { return "valid"; } else { return "invalid-mx"; } } else { return "invalid-form"; } } ?>

It depends on your requirement. For me 1440 sec is too short. I'll set it to little over 1 hour because login timeout is 1 hour.

If you have login/logout system using session, the value better to be larger than login timeout.

Regards,

PS: You might want to set gc probability around 10%. Depends on your requirement, though.

Hi =)

I'd like to setup a banner exchange with some friends. Some of them don't have PHP access, so I'm trying to come up with something that will work for everyone. I checked one site that's running a banner exchange and saw them using a cgi script like this:

Looking at that, it suggests the cgi script is some how sending image data to be used for displaying the banner ad. Then, on top of that, it's some how routing the visitor to the correct location when they click on the ad. I don't see how they are doing it and figured I'd ask here to see if anyone has any ideas.

If you're not sure of how they did it, any ideas on how to accomplish what I'm after?

I came across another site that had the following code and some how they have it working as well. It would be cool to figure out how they did it.

attached mail follows:

you can use a cookie that's sent with the image, or better yet put the whole thing in an <iframe>

Well that's how i'd do it at least.

this script logs the clickthrough and redirects to the page using header("Location: $url")

><img src="http://www.site.com/exchange.cgi?id=siteB&page=XX">

this script logs the impression and redirects (or passes thru) to the banner

it's really not very hard you can do the whole thing in about 20 lines of code.

It appears your code is missing the "Location: " part of the header.

In addition to this, you probably better off using absolute URI. (Unless you are using Apache) Refer to RFC for details.

I did it this way for a vbulletin/ubb style board which also does threading

thread table has in it a coloumn thread_counter

messages table has a column thread_order

So say there is thread 1 thread counter goes to 1 order is 1

2nd post someone replies to 1

order is 1.2 (2 comes from thread counter)

3rd post - a reply to 2nd post

order is 1.2.3

4th post - someone replies to 2nd post

order is 1.2.4

and so on and so on so you can get a threaded view in one sql call. Im using postggresql., interbase and sybase and to do the creation of thread orders I use triggers. Working out the ordering directly in php would really suck - you could get problems with concurrent updates. I never considered MYsql because of it's lack of triggers, stored procedures etc etc People say these are uneccessary but I tend to disagree. They save you a ton of clunky php and help speed things up.

Jeanne,

Your script example looks very promising. I have spent two solid days trying to solve this problem. I think what you have provided will be a big help. I am having trouble getting the navigation frame to update, though. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Do you have a working example?

Best,

I have a database in whih I have a lot of emails. What I want to do is basically a small newsletter kindaa thing which is to be mailed to all the emails which I am goingto pick from the database.

If I use

while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result) { $email = $r['email']; } and then use the mail() function to email. It will just go to one person . I want it to go to all the ppl in the list.

Well, doing it that way you would end up sending an email to each person on the list. Altenatively you could loop through the email addresses and build a cc or bcc to use in the mail() function. Either way, things might slow down a bit if you have a significant number of addresses. Somewhere out there is an email class that might help.

Alternatively you could use your database to build a 'subscription list' for something like majordomo.

Emailing a .doc file is a VERY BAD idea. VB for applications which is embedded in word is very powerful. What happens when some hacker decides to use your page to send a vba script like the naked wife virus thru your program?

Oh, here is a resume... lets take a look.

Open the attachemnt.

A burst of network activity while the vb script sends a copy of itself to everyone in the victim's address book.

Then the hard drive light comes on as the program deletes a bunch of important files from the \windows\system directory.

Finally the computer crashes because windows can't run without the missing files. Even though the machine won't boot, the computer forensics people recover the email, and trace it back to you.

The victim's lawyers come knocking on your door asking for damages because you let some hacker release a virus thru your program that wiped out several computers at the victim's company, some of their customers, as well as several of his friends.

You are forced out of business because the damages are more than the value of your entire company.

Not good.

Don't believe me? How about one of them:

Want more? - search for 'macro virus' on your favorite search engine.

NEVER send .doc, .exe, .com, .bat or .vbs files as attachments, and never - ever open them if one is sent to you. Not even from someone you trust. Melissa, Anna and Naked Wife all depend on the fact that the virus often comes from a trusted individual as part of their tactics, and it works! Are you sure your anti-virus software is up to date?

Hi Rick I have advised my client of all of the risk you mention. They still want to go ahead. They feel that the bulk of their website visitors are trustworthy (huge assumption on their part), and they tell me they will assume all responsibility for virus checking, etc.

I still need to know how to do it - technically - to allow an attachment of the kind they desire....

thanks -jen .

If you check my post on RE: [PHP] Attachment problem with web based mail - CODE SAMPLE from earlier today you will find the code that will send the file. You can always virus scanners the document before you send it (even on a Unix box).

No can do...

You can send a post to another page, but not go to that page.

In order to go to the page the form was was posted, the information must come from the client. You can use javascript for this, but it is not a very stable solution.

Hello

Is possible to execute a file which was write in Perl from inside a PHP file? If yes, how can I do that?

attached mail follows:

I'm not sure what you really want to do, but you can use system() (or others) to execute something on your web server. (You may not be able to do that. It depends on server config)

Hi,

I`m having whats probably a very basic problem but just can`t get my head around it this late in the day, anyone have any idea why this won`t work?

$URL="domain.com";

header ("Location: http://www.$URL/members/index.php");

$URL changes so I can`t write it directly into the header line, anyone?

Should work just fine.

Hello, Yes this should work, but if like me, you still have no redirection and you are working with IE 4.0, put exit; after header. $URL="domain.com"; header ("Location: http://www.$URL/members/index.php"); exit;

I have not seen this anywhere, but putting exit; after a redirection was the only way to get my redirection with header to work.

Hi Almir,

Here is more info: Server1: where my database resides Server2: where my script resides On Server1: I can access the database using mysql command and PHP. On Server2: I can access the database using mysql -hserver1 .... I can show all the tables, select data, etc. BUT, when running PHP script on this server, (mysql_connect("server1",user,password)) all that happens is that it still connects to the mysql in Server2 and not in Server1.

I really cannot understand why. Being able to access Server1 using Server2 mysql command verifies my access rights right?

I am about to give up on this!

Thanks,

Floyd

i was able to succesfully check for start dates & end dates before feeding new booking in the database using the following code :

<?php $db = mysql_connect("localhost","root"); mysql_select_db("nidc_intranet",$db); $realsdate="$syear"."-"."$smonth"."-"."$stdate"; $realedate="$eyear"."-"."$emonth"."-"."$endate"; $realstime="$shh".":"."$smm".":"."00"." "."$sttime"; $realetime="$ehh".":"."$emm".":"."00"." "."$entime";

$result = mysql_query("select * from booking where ('$realsdate'>=sdate and '$realsdate'<=edate) or ('$realedate'>=sdate and '$realedate'<=edate)",$db);

if (mysql_num_rows($result)) { ?> <script language="javascript"> alert('Sorry, the room is already booked for the period. Please choose a different period'); history.go(-1); </script> <? } else { $sql = "INSERT INTO booking (room,sdate,edate,stime,etime,purpose,reserved) VALUES ('$rooms','$realsdate','$realedate','$realstime','$realetime','$purpose','$res')"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or Die ("An unexpected error occured. Please go back and book again."); echo "<font face=helvetica size=2 color=#140057><b>Thank you! <font color=#ff0000>$rooms</font>, has been booked from <font color=#ff0000>$realsdate</font> to <font color=#ff0000>$realedate</font>. <br><br> ** Entries will be deleted 2 weeks after the End Date. "; } ?>

But now - TIME problems. I have to check for the same on TIME as well - the problem is - he needs to check for the TIME in that Particular row only...and not as a whole. For eg :- if there's a Booking from 1st August 2001 1:00 p.m. to 1st August 2001 3:00 p.m. (same day), and if someone wants to make a booking for the same day from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., my code doesn't allow that. Because he checks for the DATE - and as soon as he will find 1st August, he won't allow a booking to be made for that same day. What do i do?? I know the changes have to be made here :

$result = mysql_query("select * from booking where ('$realsdate'>=sdate and '$realsdate'<=edate) or ('$realedate'>=sdate and '$realedate'<=edate)",$db);

but i dodn't know what changes. Please HELP!!

that would expect $value1, $value2 BUT would not care if $maybe3 came in or not ? and not give an error message that there is a missing paramter ?

I know I can do a condition within the function, but just want to see if there is a more technical approach as in from php to ignore that optional per say variable.

I did look in my PHP book by wrox, but no luck.

You can give $maybe3 a default value which will be used if it is not passed in the function call. You can only do this for the last parameter in the function.

You can give $maybe3 a default value which will be used if it is not passed in the function call. You can only do this for the last parameter in the function.

function print_this ($value1, $value2, $maybe3=false) { do whatever if ($maybe != false) do whatever with $maybe }

-----Original Message----- From: Jack Sasportas [mailto:jackinnovativeinternet.com] Sent: 21 March 2001 08:42 To: php Subject: [PHP] Optional Parameter ?

Is it possible to have a function that looks something like

function print_this( $value1, $value2, $maybe3) {

do whatever;

}

that would expect $value1, $value2 BUT would not care if $maybe3 came in or not ? and not give an error message that there is a missing paramter ?

I know I can do a condition within the function, but just want to see if there is a more technical approach as in from php to ignore that optional per say variable.

I did look in my PHP book by wrox, but no luck.

Thanks !!!

Sorry guys... this is not a php question... but this is by far the best web resource i have seem...so here goes..

does anyone here know of any mailing list for perl or JAVA...? any great web resrcs/website?

anyway, so far.. i still think php official website provides the best resource for their language as compare to the other languages...

$result = mysql_db_query("FocusDynamics", "SHOW COLUMNS FROM items"); while($field = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $thisfield = $field["field"]; echo("<tr>"); echo("<td>$thisfield</td><td><input type=text ... name=$thisfield></td>"); echo("</tr>"); }

I'm assuming mysql. You may want to play around with analysing $field["type"] to get the right input attributes. There may be a slicker way, but I think this is pretty straight forward and the "SHOW COLUMNS" query isn't going to be slow.

... also this untested so please treat as pseudo code.

Propably a really simple question, but my math skills are not up to speed anymore:

How do I find out if an int is an even 100? I.e. 100, 200, 1200, 9900 etc. I could always divide by 100 and have a look at the result and se if it has any decimals but I'm guessing this could be done prettier using modulus. Right?

I have written a system with authentication to gain access to individual data. Since I am using the post method the command line has something like

abc.com?client_no=5

Now even though if that person emails you that url, you won't gain access to it bascause of authentication that is needed, what can happen is an authorized user could change the 5 in the url to 8, and then see the information that is there which belongs to client 8.

Because of this I am thinking in this case I should be using the post method instead of the get method.

Does anyone have a link to a doc that has a good example in both methods along with a good explanation so that I can make sure I understand what it's doing?

It would be better to use randomly generated strings for your client ids e.g. md5(uniqid(rand())); This would be must harder for another use to guess.

Even better would be to store your users details in a session variable so that the id will never appear in the url at all.

e.g. a very basic example.

session_name("YOURSESSIONID") session_start();

authenticate etc.. and read user details into $user array/object;

session_register($user);

then as long as your using the same browser session and you have

session_name("YOURSESSIONID"); session_start();

at the beginning of each page you can access $user.

If you open a new window you can do something like

abc.php?session_id=session_id()

abc.php

session_id($session_id); session_name("YOURSESSIONID"); session_start()

and carry on using $user.

Even then a user could save the source code of your form, alter the POST information, and send it back with the same effect.

You should probably look at having some kind of individualised authentication scheme rather than a blanket one, using sessions/cookies perhaps. POST alone is not the solution.

I want to extract 2 sets of data each from different tables in the same db but display the results on the same page at the same time. Can I just have two sql statements like this or do I need to do something else.

//sql statement 1 $sql1 = "select club_full_name from clubs where club_name = '$id' ";

//sql statement 2 $sql2 = "select message,message_title from noticeboard where club_name = '$id' ";

//execute sql1 query and get results $sql_result1 = mysql_query($sql1);

/*results variables for data to be displayed*/

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result1)) { $name = $row["club_full_name"];

}

How can I put both sets of results in the while statement.

Any help would be kindly appreciated

attached mail follows:

The simple answer would be 2 while statements, but are you trying to mix the results or are you keeping them seperate? By mix there are 2 options

value_db1 Value_db2 Value_db1

value_db1 value_db1 value_db2 value_db1

by the simple answer above it would result in something like Category #1 value_db1 value_db1 value_db1 value_db1 value_db1 Category #2 value_db2 value_db2 value_db2 value_db2 value_db2

or a side by side thing....

Also how many records (approx) are you dealing with ? you could bring the value from each table into an array and then dump the values stored in the array.

Hope this helps...

Matt,

> put two sets of data in the same while loop...

If there is some logical relationship between the sets of records then consider adding a join:

$sql = "select club_full_name,message,messate_title " " from clubs,noticeboard " " where clubs.club_name = noticeboard.club_name and clubs.clubname = '$id' ";

You can then iterate through this result:

$sth = mysql_query($sql);

$last = ''; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result1)) { if ( $last != $row[club_full_name] ) { echo "<HR><B>$row["club_full_name"</B><BR>\n"; } echo "$row[message_title] <I>$row[message]</I><BR>\n"; $last = $row["club_full_name"]; }

(Sorry for the cross-post; I'd like to get this solved, as I haven't been able to find a solution for several months.)

I have installed mhash and libmcrypt (and mcrypt, for that matter), configured php with both of the extensions, and compiled PHP (as a DSO), and apache gives the following error when I attempt to start it:

Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: libmhash.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Here are the details:

Webserver: - apache-1.3.19 compiled with (- mm-1.1.3) - mod_ssl-2.8.1-1.3.19 (compiled as a static module)

PHP (DSO): - php-4.0.4pl1 compiled with extensions: - libmcrypt-2.4.7 - mhash-0.8.9

I installed mcrypt-2.2.6 as well, but I soon realized that the PHP documentation said I should install libmcrypt, not mcrypt. Interestingly, php never complained that libmcrypt was not installed during configure. I'm not a *nix guru, and I don't understand completely how the dynamic linking process works, but this seems wrong.

Any thoughts? I'm pretty desperate here. :-) Otherwise I'll have to start using the openssl shell command.

attached mail follows:

At first find where is libmhash.so.2. Then edit your ld.so.conf. Then run ldconfig.

Filename and command name may vary, I can't tell since you didn't mention your OS.

Alternatively, you can build into PHP if you have static lib. I prefer this way for non standard libs to make sure web server starts up even w/o shared libs.

Okay, do you mean if PHP is compiled as a static module? It's compiled as a DSO on my box, so this is not an option. I have other modules installed statically and dynamically, and I'd rather not recompile Apache every time a new php comes out.

Thanks much for your help. I may need more. :-) I've tried modifying ld.so.conf on a previous install, and it didn't help.

Well, this seems to have worked. I don't know why it didn't work when I tried doing it a few years ago -- and I really have no idea why /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib were not already in ld.so.conf -- is this a RedHat thing? -- 'cause those directories seem to be pretty standard for shared libraries.

Thanks for the help. Dean.

I built this a few months ago to handle mail merges with a fixed defied attachment and it seems to work for most email readers I have tried. It is supposed to handle text email clients and MIME clients as well as per the RFC's (It was templated from an outgoing email attachment from Microsoft Outlook so it will probably screw something up somewhere).

The site variable is a class variable from an included file that contains all sorts of default stuff. class SITE { var $mail_from = "webmasterwalters.co.nz"; var $mail_reply_to = "webmasterwalters.co.nz"; } // END SITE CLASS

The get page function function get_page($page_name="") { $return=""; if (file_exists($page_name))

$fp = fopen("$page_name","r"); $return .= fread($fp, filesize($page_name)); fclose($fp); } return $return; }

The logger function is just a thing thats adds a record to a mysql table to record the event for later use by my contact management/list procesing system.

$rand=md5(rand()); $boundary="----=_NextPart_000_$rand"; $boundary2="----=_NextPart_001_$rand"; $mail_headers = "$mail_from\n$mail_reply_to\n"; $mail_headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n boundary=\"$boundary\""; $mail_headers .= "\nX-Priority: 3 (Normal)\nX-Mailer: Walters And Associates WCDS, Build 1.01\nImportance: Normal"; $mail_body = ""; $mail_body .= " This message is in MIME format. The first part should"; $mail_body .= "be readable text,\n while the remaining parts are"; $mail_body .= "likely unreadable without MIME-aware tools.\n Send mail"; $mail_body .= "to webmasterwalters.co.nz for more information.\n"; $mail_body .= "\n"; $mail_body .= "--".$boundary; $mail_body .= "\n"; $mail_body .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;\n boundary=\"$boundary2\"\n"; $mail_body .= "\n"; $mail_body .= "\n"; $mail_body .= "--".$boundary2."\n"; $mail_body .= "Content-Type: text/plain;\n charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n"; $mail_body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n"; $mail_body .= "\n"; $mail_body .= strip_tags($mail_message)."\n"; $mail_body .= "\n"; $mail_body .= "\n"; $mail_body .= "--".$boundary2."\n"; $mail_body .= "Content-Type: text/html;\n charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n"; $mail_body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\n"; $mail_body .= "\n"; $mail_body .= "$mail_message\n"; $mail_body .= "\n"; $mail_body .= "--".$boundary2."--\n"; $mail_body .= "\n";

if ($mail_attachment<>"") { $content = get_page($mail_attachment); if ($content) { $mail_body .= "--".$boundary."\n"; $mail_body .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream\n"; $mail_body .= " name=\"".basename($mail_attachment)."\"\n"; $mail_body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n"; $mail_body .= "Content-Description: \"Mail Attachment\"\n"; $mail_body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n"; $mail_body .= " filename=\"".basename($mail_attachment)."\"\n"; $mail_body .= "\n"; $mail_body .= base64_encode($content)."\n\n"; } } $mail_body .= "--".$boundary."--\n";

if (mail($mail_to,"$subject",$mail_body,$mail_headers)) { logger(1,"Mail Success","$subject To $mail_to",$mail_message); return TRUE; } else { logger(9,"Mail Failure",$mail_to,$mail_body); return FALSE; } }

Hope this Helps.

Hi,

I have built a shopping cart and have made connection to an Internet payment company. Now once transaction is processed they want from my confirmation page to receive an "[OK]". How can I do this with php3/4?

Imagine Response.write as echo.

so it will be

echo "OK";

PHP doesn't parse ASP tags

Hi there, I need some help here.

I have uploaded all the files necessary into my server. grab it at www.frozened.com/zeus/lostpassword.zip

This is a lostpassword script whereby when the user inputs his email address, the script will check if his email is a valid email ( testtest.com ) after which it will use the database to search for the email and if there his email is in the db, it will send him a mail telling him so.

In this script I haven't add the mail() but replaced it with a echo() so that I know that the form has been processed.

When I run the script and input a 'non-valid' email address ( no sign ), the errormsg will appear as normal but when I type a valid email or a email that is in the database, the form will just clear it self and reappear.

Mind if someone help me debug (I'm new to PHP).

Thanks :)

Hi,

I am going to use sessions to authenticate and protect my pages, this is what I have so far...

User logs in via form, this is checked via a SQL call, if the correct username and password are entered I run the following:

session_start(); session_register("UserName","Password"); header ("Location: http://www.domain.com/members/index.php");

The bit where I get lost is 1) how to authenticate this on each page and 2) How to close the session after the browser has closed. I have tried many tutorials etc but none seem to go into great detail in those areas. Anyone know of any decent tutorials or any snippets I can learn from.

Thanks

You have to register each "field" like this:

session_register("UserName"); // register UserName as a session var $UserName = $new_value_for_username; // give UserName session var a new value. session_register("Password"); // register Password as a session var $Password = $new_value_of_password; // give Password session var a new value.

Then in the next script, after you do session_start();, you will have access to those previously registered session variables by just using $UserName and $Password.

HTH.

Try using array variable names in HTML:

$rs is a statement from a select sql. This code snippet puts the values of the columns returned in an array $field.

if (OCIFetch($rs)) { for ($i = 0; $i <= $NFields; $i++) { $field[$i] = OCIResult($rs, $i+1); } }

Somewhere further on the following code gets executed: echo "<table>"; for ($i = 0; $i <= $NFields; $i++) { echo "<tr><td>"; echo "<INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='f[".$i."]' SIZE='".$FieldLen[$i]."' MAXLENGTH='".$FieldLen[$i]."' value='".$field[$i]."'>"; echo "</tr></td>"; }

You could use a <INPUT TYPE="hidden"> in the above code as well, just to pass the values. When the form is posted the values in f gets sent back as an array. This code comes comes from a script I wrote that updates a database like you want to do.

I've had similar problems in the past. It's my understanding that you can't pass arrays between scripts, except when using sessions. They seem to transfer in, for example:

include("script.php"); require("script.php");

but not in:

but I would love to be corrected on this by a PHP expert!

Why you are using IP address? (No DNS MX record for the host??) Anyway, SMTP server can work w/ IP address, but many programs tries to look up DNS MX records for SMTP server. I guess PHP trying to get MX records for the IP. I didn't look into code, I can easily be wrong. (SMTP server should have MX record(s), if it is configured properly.)

Try to use name (i.e. mail.example.com) instead.

I have an Oracle client on a webserver talking to an Oracle server through Oracle networking and the PHP OCI8 interface. When an error occurs on the server, the 'message' that OCIError receives on the client is

Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-03113

This seems to happen with the Oracle "Programmers" client install. There was only one client install that had more stuff than "Programmer" and I think that was "Administrator".

Why am I not getting proper Oracle error 'message's on the client when the Oracle server has an error? Is this normal, or did I do something wrong?

I just spotted this, so apologies if it's already been answered.

PHP will try to treat first in $arr[first] as a constant. if it doesn't find a constant with this name it will treat it as a string. There may be an error reporting level which throws this up as an error. $arr['first'] is therefore lees ambiguous and so safer (and may even be a nano second faster).

Hi,

Habe folgendes Problem:

Suse 7.1 Standardmässig ist Apache mit PHP installiert. Das läuft auch alles solange ich nicht versuche eine DB anzubinden bzw. abzufragen.

Ich bekomme dann immer folgende Meldung:

Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/dbopen.php3 on line 5

Leider konnte ich in den Archiven und Manuals nichts finden. Und der Verweis in meiner php3.ini im verzeichnis /etc/httpd/ zu mysql.sock ist auch richtig gesetzt.

Kann mir da jemand weiterhelfen?

Besten Dank im voraus. Denis

Hi Remco,

That's not the Problem. But I don't have the mysql.sock in this directory.

Regards Denis
