i know what you are trying to do i have done it before, just don't quite remember how i solved the problem, but i think what i did was to create the move link with the id of the field that you want to move, then another php file will do the stuff:

1. using the insert with the select statment you will be able to insert the row into the new table using the id in the where clause of the select section.

2. check to ensure that the data was inserted

3. delete from oldtable where id = id passed from previous page

4. return the user to the page so that they can see that the row is no longer there.

Umm, I didn't think you could do subselects in MySQL? Or am I missing something?

Chris

attached mail follows:

from the docs;

The following will not yet work in MySQL:

SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM table2); SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM table2); SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT id FROM table2 where table1.id=table2.id);

. . .

MySQL only supports INSERT ... SELECT ... and REPLACE ... SELECT ... Independent sub-selects will probably be available in Version 4.0. You can now use the function IN() in other contexts, however.

I tried the query in the original post and I could not get it to work. This is what I got:

mysql> insert into new_names (name, email) values select name, email from old_names; ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'select name, email from old_names' at line 1

What's going wrong if this is supposed to work? I'm using mySQL 3.22.32

Bingo! Damn, this is *so* cool. This is going to save me much work in the future. :)

Thanks everyone, who was involved in this thead, for the insight! I read the docs a billion times... I'm not sure how I missed this. :p

Whoopee!!!

After two days of propeller-spinning, I finally uploaded a file successfully!!!

I had to use an FTP connection to do it, because my PHP process didn't have permission to write files to my directory, but that's fine.

Here's the code snippet that worked the trick, with my servername/username/password changed to protect the innocent (me!)

Thanks to Adam for putting me on the right track, vis-a-vis file permissions.

Hi there,

Does someone know what's the "w" is for. This is the error message:

Warning: fopen("../_webstats/include/caches/last_visitors.cache.html","w")

Does it has to do with "write" rights??

Thanks for your answers!

Hello,

I am using GD v. 1.8.3, freetype 1.3.1 and php 4.0.3.p1. I am having a problem with some of my background color bleeding through my font/text when I create a new image with ImageTTFText. Specifically I want my text to be pure white (255,255,255), but it is not appearing that way on my output image.

Here is the code I am using:

$fontColor = ImageColorAllocate ($im,255,255,255); ImageTTFText($im,$fontSize,0,$fontX,$fontY,$fontColor,$fontFile,$fontText);

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you, Kevin

Even better (and it'll *always* work as far as I know), check $HTTP_HOST.

Chris

attached mail follows:

RE: [PHP] securityI was going to say that but I wasn't sure if $HTTP_HOST would get the host of the page that is now executing or the host of where the page was coming from.

attached mail follows:

I'm using an .htaccess file to auto_append and auto_prepend files within a specific directory, and it works great. Unfortunaltely if I create a new sub-directory that doesn't have it's own .htaccess file, it too tries to use the auto_append and auto_prepend values of the .htaccess file from the parent directory. In this subdirectory, I don't want anything appended or prepended to my php scripts. SO what I always end up doing is creating a new .htaccess file in this subdirectory and create and empty file and use this filename and path in that new .htaccess file.

Over all, it's a bit of a PITA... so is there a way to override the auto_append and auto_prepend from an .htaccess file in a parent directory without having to go through all this every time I create a new directory?

attached mail follows:

You mean

if( $var == "duck" || $var == "goose" ..etc

A single equal sign is assignment, double is test for equality.

Check the string functions, you could try something like:

if ( strpos( "duckgoosehenchickenpeacock", $var ) != 0 ) {do something} else {critter in $var not part of our set}

It all depends on what you want to do, and of course "duck ... cock" could be a variable.

Have a look at switch case break as well.

Any clue what I'm doing wrong? I mostly jsut can't figure out why all the new fields keep coming up blank.

You assign to $newloop, then do a ++$newloop, and THEN dump $newloop.

ie, you assign to 0, inc to 1, and dump 1...which isn't filled in yet.

I'm still having problems with this. I was able to get sessions and session variables working ok with register_globals=on, but I had read that it was better not to keep register_globals on so I turned it off and I'm trying to figure out how this works now.

I'm registering a variable in one function say like this: function set session() { global $my_session_var; session_start(); $my_session_var = "Blah blah"; session_register('my_session_var'); }

Then I'm trying to read it in another function like this: function read_session() { global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; session_start(); echo ($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[my_session_var]); }

I assume this isn't the right way to do it since it doesn't seem to work. I have register_globals off. Does anyone know what I should be doing? Thanks in advance for any replies!

Hi,

The php manual at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php says:

"If track_vars is enabled and register_globals is disabled, only members of the global associative array $HTTP_SESSION_VARS can be registered as session variables. "

so, did you try this:

session_register($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["my_session_var"];

I tried this and could not get this working either. Does anyone know which is the best way to do it? What are the pros and cons of doing this with track_vars or as globals?

Also, you are registering a variable rather than a name. So, unless there is a quoted name for the variable value, I don't think that would work. For instance,

$a="b" session_register($a);

actually registers a variable called $b. I made that mistake in my post too.

attached mail follows:

Maybe I should just go back to using globals then. What does everyone else do normally? Globals or use the track_vars? I can't get these things working at all.

Hi,

The default php setting is with track vars on, and register globals on I believe. I have never tried anything else. I turned globals off to see if I could help you with your problem. If you check the manual, they do not put much explanation into how to use sessions with globals off, though I have read that some webservers may have globals turned off.

attached mail follows:

Hi,

Go post your globals question at the php forum at www.devshed.com . You will usually get extremely quick responses to questions about php.

attached mail follows:

OK, try this. The session_start() has to come before the global statement:

<?php function write_session() { session_start(); global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[my_session_var] = "Boogedy Boogedy"; session_register($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["my_session_var"]); }

write_session(); echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['my_session_var']; ?>

attached mail follows:

YES! That's what it was. You rule man. Why would session_start need to come before the global variable declaration? You'd think session_start would need $HTTP_SESSION_VARS declared beforehand to load the session variables into?

Mike, my experiments suggest you can also get rid of the session_register() statement. Seems that simply assigning to $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[my_session_var] is enough.

Hi,

All the session functions check to see if you have a session running first before starting a session, to prevent you from starting two sessions by accident. If for some reason you want to start another session, you can do that by supplying your own session id to the function session_start() to start another session.

However, you do not need to do that for your purposes. You can start the only session you need when they submit their form info, and to keep them from signing up twice, before you record the data use an if statement to check if there is a session(if ($PHPSESSID)). If there is already a session, do not record the data, and display a message: "You have already signed up, proceed to login." and redirect them to the login page.

attached mail follows:

Hi,

Just to explain a point on my previous post:

If at the top of your page that processes the registration info, you include:

session_start(); session_register("is_registered"); is_registered="yes";

and then use this test:

if($PHPSESSID) { warning, redirect to login } else { record info, redirect to login }

Will the condition in the if statement be true? It seems like it should because you started the session. But a session id is a cookie, and a cookie is not available on the page it is set. So, the first time this script is encountered, e.g. when they register for the first time, even though you started the session, the if statement condition will be false, indicating the first time someone is registering. Subsequently, if someone uses the back button and then clicks submit to get to this page again, then the cookie will be set, and the if statement will return true, causing the other branch of the if statement to execute.

Well, I can now... :p

Chris

attached mail follows:

what i did was implement my own session class so that i can have a single session variable ($s) and have it handle all my session needs via an OO interface ($s->CleanUp(), $s->Update(), ...)

consequently, all of my session data is in a simple assoc. array that's a variable of the session class (sdata) so i can get to all of my session data via $s->sdata[...]

i update a value by: $s->Update('name', 'newvalue) and start the session: $s = new Session( $cookie_sid );

no mucking around with multiple global variables and such... no registering of variables and worrying about PHP's internals - just one object (and thus, one variable) is all i need for session handling.

i dont understand why more people dont use assoc. arrays for their session needs... ive never used PHP's built-in session handling so im not too sure of it's limitations, but are there any (good) reasons why more people dont use associative arrays as their session variables?

for example:

instead of having a mess of globals: $username $firstname $session_id $this $that

you could just register one variable and use it as an assoc. array to store all of the values you needed. ($svar, for instance)

$svar['username'] $svar['firstname'] $svar['session_id'] $svar['this'] $svar['that']

this would enable you to take an arbitrary number of variables and cut it down to *one* single assoc array.... seems to be a rather large benefit in doing things this way... so i cannot figure out why i dont see more people taking this road....

--
i come from a perl background, so im used to
using hashes (assoc. arrays) for lots of things.
i get the feeling that not very many people on
this list (newbies, at least) are familiar
or comfortable with assoc. arrays.
any comments are welcome :)

send the proper HTTP headers and then output the contents of the file.... here's what i used when i had to prompt the user for a download box for arbitrary binary files (.gif, .zip, .png, .pdf)

you might be able to not tell the browser the size of the data, but it's best to offer that information if you have it.

print "Content: $filename\r\n"; print "Content-disposition: inline; filename=\"$filename\"\r\n"; print "Content-length: $size\r\n"; print "Content-type: application/octet-stream\r\n"; print "\r\n";

then start outputting the actual data from the file.zip....

that should work.

Dear Friends:

I have had another problem, after succesfully find flex package installed in this machine and make a link to a folder that is included in PATH. After ./configure, after the message that PHP was configured OK, following the instructions I write: make.

This is the error that appears

Making all in Zend make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/local/php-4.0.4pl1/Zend' /bin/sh../libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -g -02 -o libZend_c.la zend_language_scanner.lo zend_ini_scanner.lo ../libtool: ar: not found make[1]: *** [libZend_c.la] Error 1 leaving directory make[1]: *** [all- recursive] Error 1

I have looked at /php folder and exists a file called libtool. Anybody knows what is the problem?

Thank you very much Emiliano.

Hi!

I write the script for the array stuffs using hte array function --> $menu=array(0,0,1,0);

I'm trying to get this array to carry over using the $PHP_SELF to the same page over and over. However, I'm not getting the right result. So, is there a better way?

What about $menu[0]="1" and then use $menu as part of $PHP_SELF to carry it over to teh same page?

are you sure, that ms-sql support is compiled into your php? what does phpinfo() say about it?

Hi,

What was so difficult about implementing my last post?

attached mail follows:

Hello:

I've set up a authentication script in PHP, and have made it to where once the user has been successfully authenticated, it puts the username ($global[username]), password ($global[password]), and realname ($global[realname]) into a cookie. The included functions file (./inc/common.inc) does this, my problem is:

Once it has been authenticated, the main page (index.php) goes through an if statement for the variable $authok, if $authok is "1", then display the main page, elseif $authok != 1, then display login, it displays the main page fine except, the realname and the username don't show up, until I reload the page and the realname and the username then show up. I don't understand why it is doing this. Please if you can, help me fix this.

Well, I got it fixed, I was told PHP is picky about cookies, so I was told to make it redirect to the same page (so i just put a header(Location: $PHP_SELF);, and it works

- rob

attached mail follows:

When you SET a cookie, the browser has the cookie, but it has not been sent back by the browser to the server yet -- Only on the second page does that happen.

So, in addition to setting a cookie, you should also set the variable at the same time.

Hi All,

PHP is unable to resolve the variable you are trying to use within a stting. If you use complex array structures you have to write it like this:

$sql = "insert into sessions(session_id, user_id, session_expiration) values ('$sess_id', " . $user_fields['USER_ID'] . "', sysdate + (" . $user_fields'MINS_TILL_EXPIRE'] . " * 1/1440))";

or use

$sql = sprintf("insert into sessions(session_id, user_id, session_expiration) values ('%s', sysdate + (%i * 1/1440))", $sess_id', $user_fields['USER_ID'], $user_fields['MINS_TILL_EXPIRE']);

Your sample code also mised a ' after the first variable !

I learned recently that you can put an array into a string using the braces operator like so:

$string = "Here's an interpolated {$array['key']}";

This is really handy for sql statements and other neat things.

You can use indexed arrays too. Actually, all arrays in php are hashes (associative). That's why they're so quick.

Happy interpolation!

You need to have a separate page that returns that image as if it were a static file on your site.

------- image.php?id=42 ------------- <?php $query = 'select blob from blobs where id = $id'; #I'm sure that's not the right SQL... $image = pg_something($result, 'image'); $imagetype = pg_something($result, 'image_type'); #$image now contains the JPG or GIF or PNG #and $imagetype is image/jpg or image/gif or image/png header("Content-type: $imagetype"); header("Content-length: " . strlen($image)); #more headers here for, say, caching etc echo $image; ?>

Then, in your HTML, you would have: <IMG SRC=image.php?id=42>

I suspect I'm not the only one who doesn't understand the question properly...

User asks for URL foo.htm

The web-server can have foo.htm sitting there, or PHP can generate it, or you could have PHP get the file (via FTP or HTTP) from another server, or the missing file could maybe trigger a routine to get the file and then continue with the request or...

I'm guessing that the data you are getting has various funky characters in it that are not surviving the database or HTML Input/Output.

Do you see the correct URL as the link?

Check your Apache error log, usually at /usr/local/apache/logs/error.log

I think you can change the separator in php.ini, and for sure you could do it by hand using $PATH_INFO or something.

Personally, my first question would be if the new "standard" is actually being used or supported by anybody else...

how about parsing a url from passing variables like : test.php/op/3/op2/6/pagename.html

cannot this be parsed, to let search engines spider past the "?" properly?

super easy.

$path_array = explode('/', $REQUEST_URI); $numPathElements = count($path_array);

then loop through the elements and do what you need, you might need to use strtok() if you're expecting slashes in your arguments.

Well assuming that this: index.php/tpl/main/ii/1/pagename/name.html is representative of this: index.php?tpl=main&ii=1$pagename=name.html then: $path_array = explode('/', $REQUEST_URI); $numPathElements = count($path_array);

gives me:

$path_array[0] = tpl $path_array[1] = main $path_array[2] = ii $path_array[3] = 1 $path_array[4] = pagename $path_array[5] = name.html

But can I make that:

$path_array[tpl] = main $path_array[ii] = 1 $path_array[pagename] = name.html

Instead?

I'm going to have to do this for every page, so I want to avoid much that would slow the page down - what do folks think?

Oh wait, just do this in my page :

URL -> index.php/main/1/pagename.html

$path_array = explode('/', $REQUEST_URI); $tpl = $path_array[0]; $ii = $path_array[1]; $pagename = $path_array[2];

that works - sorry for being obtuse.

> do I have to cast values from text boxes into ints?

Not usually, because PHP and MySQL take care of converting for you, 99.9999% of the time.

But what you get from a FORM (or a GET URL) are all strings. The HTTP spec doesn't have any way to distinguish one data type from another. It's all strings.

Actually, PHP didn't turn them into ints in that case -- MySQL did.

If you can add a unique number (microtime() * 1000000) or uniqid() to the URL, then the browser and server and everybody in between will be pretty sure it's a different URL and re-load it.

If you are attempting to connect to a site that uses HTTP Authentication (that popup window), I *THINK* you can use:

username:passwordhttp://whatever.com

If you need to get to/through a web-page with a FORM in it, dig out Rasmus' posttohost() function and use that to send the username/password to the login URL, and then see what you get back from that page that makes you a "valid" user from then on.

You may need to re-present an ID or something as part of each GET/POST from then on.

This kind of stuff *can* be done, but it's usually quite a headache the first time to figure out what has to go between the servers.

Oh. If it's an https:// connection, you need to use cURL.

Basically, you shouldn't be checking for '1' as an answer.

Either you got 0, and it didn't work, or you didn't, and the URL is valid.

can an array be stored in a database field? E.g. make a few runtime settings for a page, store the settings as an array in a field, and use that array to make some runtime settings?

Follow up to that question, can that array be persisted from page to page without a cookie?

Yes it can.

Try serialize() and unserialize() functions.

see:

you could store a unique id in your URL that refers to the ow in your DB where the array is stored.

I have a script that sets cookies for validation. The problem is that on some servers(wwws) it works fine, but on another when submitted it gives a 404 error. I can send the code to someone if they like, but this is driving me insane. It's just too long to add here Thanks

Hi,

when I declare the varible $cid like this "http://myserver/index.php?cid=1" it works fine, but when i declare it in the code like this $cid = '1';

it doesn't work... is this maybe because of the level i declare the varible? how to i declare it the same as "http://myserver/index.php?cid=1" but in my php code...

PS. I use this varible in a function that is called by a function wich is included and so on... it is rather far down.

Thanks Gaur _______________________________

could someone check this?

From the URL parsing discussions, you should be able to do these two things with a URL like this: index.php/main/default/sitelevel1/sitelevel2/sitelevel3/name.html

1. set some page variables from the URL:

function page_init() { global $REQUEST_URI; global $init_vars[]; //array set in config file, eg. //$init_vars[]="$tpl"; //$init_vars[]="$stylesheet";

$path_array = explode('/', $REQUEST_URI);

while (list ($init_key,$init_value) = each($init_var[])) { list($uri_key, $uri_value) = each($path_array[]) $init_value = uri_value } }

2. create a you-are-here thingy like: sitelevel1 >> sitelevel2 >> sitelevel3 >> name.html

function breadcrumbs() { global $REQUEST_URI global $init_depth; //how much of initial uri items to discard

$path_array = explode('/', $REQUEST_URI);

for ($i=0, $i <= $init_depth; $i++); { array_shift($path_array); //discard config item - not used here }

$page_name = array_pop($path_array); //strip page name from end of array $crumbs_length = count($page_array); //how long is path now? $crumbs_div = " >> "; //use to divide the breadcrumbs

for ($i=0, $i <= $crumbs_length; $i++); { list($position, $value) = each($path_array); echo $value; echo $crumb_div; }

echo($pagename); }

now, anyone have any idea how to make each sitelevel item an href???
