Any way to combine both forms of url parsing?
I want to use standard slash notation for navigation ,but also account for
the occasional variable used within a single page.

e.g. URL can be either:
domain.com/index.php/main/index.html?ii=1

or:
domain.com/index.php/main/index.html?ii=1

if (isset($ii) // how do I grab value and truncate $REQUEST_URI

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

$page_name = array_pop($path_array); //get page name from end of array
$page_type = array_pop($path_array); //get page type from next item

best regards,
jaxon

Umm, how are these different?

(If you're trying to extract info from a url, perhaps
parse_url(),basename(), and/or dirname() are what you're seeking...?)

-- CC

attached mail follows:

oops :)

http://www.domain.com/index.php/main/index.html?ii=1 versus http://www.domain.com/index.php/main/index.html

I want to get "index.html" and "main" into variables, as the two items will always be present - if $ii is set, I want to strip it from the URI before parsing the items out.

I suppose with parse_url() I could do something..but I really only want to deal with the URI.

currently, this seems to work:

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

if (isset($ii)) array_pop($path_array); // remove $ii $page_name = array_pop($path_array); //get page name from end of array $tpl = array_pop($path_array); //get page type from next item

but is inelegant :)

Building Dynamic Pages With Search Engines in Mind : -------------------------------------------------------- * http://phpbuilder.com/columns/tim19990117.php3 * http://phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20000526.php3

Also check phpinfo() for available predefined variables and plan accordingly.

Predefined Variables : -------------------------------------------------------- * http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php

And for the brave, check out mod_rewrite :

K, read em all, and understood more than I thought I :)

I still don't see how you can 'sanitize' a URI, eg discard anything including and after "//" or "??". I think this is needed if you want to discard a query string or irregular syntax from your URI.

ereg's don't work reliably, due to the possibility of special chars in the URI.

why can't you str_replace the $QUERY_STRING frm the $REQUEST_URI?

give an example of what you are trying to do? (I'm sorry if you did and I missed it)

attached mail follows:

I'm writing a news script, and I just got it working earlier this morning. Now it writes the variables from the form to the .txt file; but when I go to write again (another news article) it does it beside, not above. Me, thinking so brilliantly at 6AM, thought append would mean above, but it means beside. This is the script in working condition, although it only writes one varibale since I was testing. I'm not using mysql, only a .txt file and two PHP documents.

<? if( $formSubmit ) { echo "Your news has been processed."; $newsSubmit = file( "news.txt" ); $fp = fopen( "news.txt", 'a' ); fwrite( $fp, $frmName ); fclose( $fp ); } else { include ( "newsForm.php" ); } ?>

What I want it to do is post $frmName in the .txt file, and when another entry is processed it will add that above. I hope this is possible, because I don't have access to a MySQL database *yet.*

Post all suggestions, please.

Re-create the file. You're most of the way there.

if( $formSubmit ) { echo "Your news has been processed."; $filename = "news.txt";

//This is simpler than messing with an array of the original content. $fp = fopen ($filename, "r"); $newsSubmit = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($fp);

$fp = fopen( $filename, "w" ); // change append to write (a to w) fwrite( $fp, $frmName ); //write the new fwrite( $fp, $newsSubmit); //write the old fclose( $fp ); } else { include ( "newsForm.php" ); }

if you want to use fseek, then try this:

if( $formSubmit ) { echo "Your news has been processed."; $filename = "news.txt";

//This is simpler than messing with an array of the original content. $fp = fopen ($filename, "r+"); $newsSubmit = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fseek($fp,0); fwrite( $fp, $frmName ); //write the new fwrite( $fp, $newsSubmit); //write the old fclose( $fp ); } else { include ( "newsForm.php" ); }

attached mail follows:

When you say $newsSubmit = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));

Do you mean specify the filename? $news.txt then?

attached mail follows:

Take a closer look at the previous message I sent $filename was defined as: $filename="news.txt";

is there any why to find out from php with oci8 functionen , which colomn/s is/are primary key in a table in oracle

almir

attached mail follows:

i was pretty sure that there was a function to return JUST the script filename.. Unlike $php_self and $script_name i need something that till ruturn JUST the scriptname. ie /test/test/blah.php returns blah.php.

any ideas? or am i going to have to reverse the string find the first "/" drop the rest of the string and return the file name. :-)

~kurth

attached mail follows:

Hi Kurth,

Check out basename() and use it against a predefined variable such as SCRIPT_NAME. Example :

// /apples/foo.php?fruit=apple

print basename($SCRIPT_NAME); // foo.php

Be sure to check out :

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php

Also check phpinfo() to view how your server deals with such things.

You can do it with javascript like this.

hey-

Alright I noticed that question about URL parsing. I could've sworn I saw some article on PHPBuilder.com that said that instead of doing all that modifying with apache, you could simply write something to change the URL with '?' and '&' and '=' so that they symbols could be represented using a simple /, does anyone remember seeing it?...

In any case, I'll ask, what would be the best way to do this with scripting, something like str_replace() or perhaps a regular expression to both modify the URL and then allow pages using that modified URL to recognized the variable/value pairs? Or is that even possible?

My other question is this: Sometimes I notice URL's where it looks like this, http://www.whatever.com/?blah=blah&d=d, or http://www.whatever.com/local?name=name&d=d. How is that done, where there is no file extension after the file name, or no file name at all, just a question mark directly after the slash?

You could... I'm hacking through using:

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

$last_item = array_pop($path_array); $next_to_last_item = array_pop($path_array); / item

only drawback is the positional stuff is fixed. now I am trying to figure out how to generate my hrefs in the page to have a matching structure.... > > My other question is this: Sometimes I notice URL's where it looks like > this, http://www.whatever.com/?blah=blah&d=d, or > http://www.whatever.com/local?name=name&d=d.

probably the a .htaccess or apache.conf directive:

<Location /local> ForceType application/x-httpd-php3 </Location>

This would send everything to a script called "local". This is from: http://phpbuilder.com/columns/tim19990117.php3

while a bit ugly, you could just use array_pop() to get each item into a variable and then echo them back out into your variable assignment...

somewhat cleaner would be to create an assoc array of config vars:

I don't think PHP will understand commas as command separators.

Perhaps what you could try is a simple loop 0 to 6 and for each iteration of the loop, unset the corresponding array element

for($i=0; $i <= 6; $i++) { unset($array[$i]; }

Better still if you have PHP4, use array_shift to pop the first however many elements from the front of the array.

Can any one help me with the following problem?

I have a very simple query:

I always got the following error message when I run it from my browser.

Warning: MySQL: Unable to save result set in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/tt.php on line 9

But even with this message, the values are still inserted into tt.

When I change $sql to &sql="select * from tt";

There were no such error message.

It puzzled me? Why?

Is there any way to decrypt dat encrypted using the crypt function? If not, then what purpose does that function have?

attached mail follows:

Unix "Crypt" function is a one way encrypytion algorithm therefore you can not technically decrupted as such. The way that you can check to see if the given uncrypted value is equals to its crypted value is to

1) Crypt the string with the same "salt" 2) Compare this with the crypted version

If these 2 are the same then you assume that the 2 strings are equal. If you really want to "decrypt" the string i.e. turn the encrypted version into its original readable text then you'll have to use Mcrypt() functions in PHP instead (if you have PHP 4 and above ). There are also other Encrytion functions available, check in the manual:

<< Is there any way to decrypt dat encrypted using the crypt function? If not, then what purpose does that function have? >>

Crypt cannot be decrypted. One use of the function is for storing passwords on a server where people can access them. If you crypt the passwords before you store them on the server, nobody can see the actual passwords. Now when someone tries to login with one of those passwords, you crypt the password he enters, compare it with the version on the server, and if they match, it's the right password.

Encrypt data! ;) crypt is a one-way finction, it produces a hash from some plain text, and its result is suitable to store sensitive data in database, like passwords...

If you want to store information that you want to get back to the initial state (plain text) you should not use crypt() or md5()...

If you only want to store encrypted passwords crypt is enought.. When you want to confirm that a inputed text is equals to the stored and encrypted password, you just have to encrypt the inputed text and compare it with the previously stored password...

attached mail follows:

Hi all, I know that we can't make a class method or variable private in php (I hope this get improved sometimes). But, I'm wondering if anyone has found a smart way to limit that only a certain file can call the function/method from another file.

Say, I have the file function_def.inc that has a whole bunch of function in it. I want to make it private. I want that only the file wrapper.inc can use the function inside function.def, by including it.

If I have another file, say application.php, and I include function_def.inc in application.php, I want that application.php still cannot use any function defined in function_def.inc.

Can I do that? If there is a way to do that, maybe there is a way to make some method in a class private by the putting it in certain file, using this same analogy. I want to do that because I'm developing an API/Wrapper for other developers, and I want to make some methods/functions private, for security reason.

Thanks for any help. Reuben D. Budiardja

I think you got the solution to your problem, but for future debugging you might want to add the line above which will spit out a meaningful error message. You could of course combine that with mysql_errno() for some error handling branching.

attached mail follows:

Hi what you need is: $sql = "INSERT INTO orders (product,name,email) : VALUES ('$product','$name','$email')"; You will also need to escape any single quotes in the variables Tom

Check the Program execution functions; exec, system or the backtick operator should do what you want.

I know it is possible to redirect a user to their home page, but is it possible to determine what home page they are using?

you might be able to access this value from within javascript (not sure on this). Don't think it's possible with php.

If you use sequence to generate your last_inserted_id, then you can always get that ID by calling

SELECT sequence_name.CURRVAL FROM DUAL;

Well, presumably you would use system or somesuch to run whatever it is; you may want to place the output in a file or capture it from stdout to do 'something' with it. Can you be a little more specific on what you are using and what you want to do?

Im trying to get an array saved in a cookie, I have this snippet so far..

<? if (newuser == yes) { $user_reg[0]= $username; $user_reg[1]= $password; $user_reg[2]= $fullname; $user_reg[3]= $email; $user_reg[4]= $age; setcookie ("user_reg" , $user_reg, time() + 360 * 86400); $done_message = "thankyou, $user_reg[0]."; }else{ $done_message = $sign_form; } ?>

$username and the others vars are coming from a form submitted. did I write this ok?

is there a limit to how much I can save in the array ?

hi david,

thanks for the note. ok, here is what i want to do. i want my users to upload WORD, XLS, PPT and PDF files. when they upload, i store these files in the temp directory, grab the text from them, and then put it into my database for later searching. i dont care about the formatting, i only care about the text because i need the keywords later for searching.

can i run some sort of a parser on the server side like the wvware.com's word parser and just call it through php? i have not been able to figure out how to do this using php.

i would really appreciate any ideas and suggestions!

thanks/erick

OK - do you have the relevant parsers? There are specific (Unix) tools available for PDF (pdftotext or acrobat reader) and Word; I mentioned some of that in an earlier mail. For Excel you could probably use (Unix again) just the Unix command strings to get the text - same might work for Powerpoint but if some dipstick has created a graphics-only presentation you won't get much that's useful.

As I mentioned previously, you'll probably want to run the parser[s] from PHP using one of the Program execution functions; exec, system or the backtick operator should do what you want. How you capture the output will of course depend on how the output is delivered - see the docs for the particular parser.

None of the above is probably relevant if your server is Windows.

attached mail follows:

As far as I know, you can do very little in this respect on a non-windows machine without some programming in a lower generation language. Don't you have a windows machine somewhere in your network? Just pass it on to that machine, and let it do this work. I personally would prefer doing this in perl.

I'm experiencing all kinds of problems with, what we suppose is the cookie setting. This is the code:

if (isset($authentication)) { setcookie("status", $status, time()+600); setcookie("user", $user, time()+600); setcookie("group", $group, time()+600); setcookie("authentication", $authentication, time()+600); setcookie("laston", $laston, time()+600); } else { setcookie("status", "Logged In", time()+600); setcookie("user", $txtUsername, time()+600); setcookie("group", $row[4], time()+600); setcookie("authentication", "YES", time()+600); setcookie("laston", $row[6], time()+600); }

(I have not coded this).

What seems to happen is that - with alarming regularity - people are getting logged off when choosing item from a menu. Either they are thrown out into the log on-screen or (as has happened to me recently) the app simply states I'm not logged on even if I am in the middle of using it (and must have logged on).

I'm not at all familiar with cookies (yet) but suspect that the timing of the critters could be a culprit. IS this correct? How do I solve the problem?

attached mail follows:

Hello,

short: try removing the third parameter to setcookie and if the errors go away you know it's a cookie problem :)

long: you're setting auth based in the (server's) time + 600sec. If the client (or even the server) has a clock skew... well.... bad luck :) removing the third parameter makes php create a "session cookie" that will stay there until the browser is closed (alll the windows). If this is not a problem, let it be. I love session cookies!! :) Anyway, the best method to get decent auth are sessions. Try php4's sessions or phplib or something.

This topic comes up from time to time...

Some previous information, if you get any further please post it to the list.

A while ago I saw a web page explaining a system (written in Perl I think) that was used to show a presentation to a number of different sites simultaneously (and synchronised). A presenter was at the main site and the browsers at 4 other remote sites would display the same page the presenter was viewing on his web browser as he went to various sites. I think it worked using multipart Content-type. Unfortunately I have lost the URL to the explanation of how it was done.

On Saturday, 5 August 2000 8:48 AM Mr Bruce Christensen posted the following links explaining browser push; http://home.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/pushpull.html and; As for keeping the connection from timing out, see http://www.php.net/manual/function.set-time-limit.php.

I have experimented with this but didn't get too far. I posted the following to the PHP list but didn't get any reply.

I have tried the following script on WinNT5, Apache/1.3.13-dev, PHP Version 4.0.1pl2 and OpenBSD2.7 Apache/1.3.12, PHP Version 4.0.1pl2 (mod_php4)

push.php;

----------8<-------snip-----------8<------start <?php header("HTTP/1.0 200 OK"); header("Content-type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=ThisRandomString"); print("\n"); print( "--ThisRandomString\n"); print("Content-type: text/html\n"); print("\n"); print( "First update at "); echo date("H:i:s"); print("\n\n"); print( "--ThisRandomString\n"); flush(); sleep(5);

print("Content-type: text/html\n"); print("\n"); print( "Second update at "); echo date("H:i:s"); print("\n\n"); print("--ThisRandomString--\n"); ?> ----------8<-------snip-----------8<------end

On NT with the header("HTTP/1.0 200 OK"); statement I get an Apache error message; [Sun Aug 06 09:02:47 2000] [error] [client 192.168.0.60] malformed header from script. Bad header=HTTP/1.0 200 OK: f:/program files /novato/allcnet/php.exe

I do not get this error on OpenBSD.

I then removed the header("HTTP/1.0 200 OK"); statement and now NT and OpenBSD give the following output to the browser(IE5.0); (after a 5 second pause)

----------8<-------snip-----------8<------start --ThisRandomString Content-type: text/html

First update at 18:22:47

--ThisRandomString Content-type: text/html

Second update at 18:22:52

--ThisRandomString ----------8<-------snip-----------8<------end

And the following output to the browser(Netscape 4.6); (after a 5 second pause)

----------8<-------snip-----------8<------start Second update at 18:23:19 ----------8<-------snip-----------8<------end

ie With Netscape I never see the first update at ... part of the output as I would expect.

I have also tried it with; header("Content-type: multipart/mixed;boundary=ThisRandomString");

but it makes no difference, the behaviour is identical.

IE5 does not seem to understand multipart. The multipart mime boundary does not seem to be working properly in Netscape4.6.

Sometimes it prints LPSA3WD-IM or G22G2G9-FC. Is there a catch in the code that will stuff up in certain circumstances? Please help,

Matt stone

Oops sorry, this line is supposed to read:

$passfirst = randomGen($length-3, 1); >>$passend = randomGen(3, 0); $pass = $passfirst.'-'.$passend; return $pass;

You have several problems here; first is that the name of your 'select multiple' box should be system[] in order to be able to pass ALL the selected items - otherwise you only get the last one selected.

That will then give you an array named system, which you'll need to parse and break up into a query like

WHERE ... system = '$system[0]' OR system = '$system[1] ... OR system = '$system[n]'

Lastly, you seem to have omitted the loop to cycle through all the rows of your result set ;-(
