    I'd like to do a search engine on my homepage. I'll search a cell phone in
    mysql database.

    I want to search this cell phone and list in HTML table.

    This list of cell phones must have 30 lines and the cell phones that I
    found (searched) must be in the middle of the list.

    I want to show the cell phones before and after of the one I search
    (found), order by cellphone.

    How could I do that?

    This is where I implement a reversal of quotes depending on what kind of
    quotes I'll be using in it - the draw back is hitting the . key a lot to
    concat with variables, but it makes the my code more readable (IMO - no \'s all
    over the place.

    So like this :

    echo '<a href="http://'.$url.'">'.$title.'</a>'."\n";

    or

    echo "This is Mike's Homepage";

    Dear PHP Helpers,

    I cannot find any documentation on how to copy the
    data from one mysql table to another, i.e. table1,
    columnx to table2, columnx.

    Can you recommend a way?

    Here is the situation.

    I have one table called "phone" with two columns. The
    first column is called "key_svt_members," the second
    is called "phone."

    I have a second table called "svt_members." This table
    has 17 columns including "key_svt_members" and
    "phone." The phone column in this table is currently
    empty.

    I wish to copy the data that is in phone, phone into
    svt_members.

    Can you recommend a method?

    Thanks in advance,

    Bob Stone

    Please don't post the same question to multiple PHP.net lists. Or at least
    wait until a day or two without response from one list before re-posting to
    another of the PHP.net lists.

    (For the answer to your original question, see my response to the PHP-DB
    list. Where the question, which is really all-MySQL and no-PHP, comes
    closest to being on-topic.)

    Thank you.

    Ah yes, the infamous IE cookie problem - look at the expire time - I be it destroys the cookie as soon as it gets it because the expire time is either on or before the time the cookie was sent.

    Thanks, but most variables such as SERVER_ADDR and SERVER_NAME are not set when you run a PHP script from the command line (or from cron). Write a script that calls phpinfo() and then use 'php -f' to run it and you'll see how little environment information you get.

    Using IIS5 on W2K Server, I can't get get the exec() or other similar commands to work.

    This is what I'm doing -

    exec( "dir/a-d/b $dir_name", $arFiles )

    The array doesn't contain anything! I've tried it with cmd.exe before the command, but it just seems to get stuck in a loop! Can anyone tell me how to successfully use this command? Or if not, any other ideas on how to get the file names inside a directory into an array?

    I looked all over the documentation and I did not see this function. Now I feel all stupid. Especially when most of my posts to the mailing list refer people to the docs... :p

    hi,

    I've been driving myself bonkers trying to figure out wy this code block does not work as it is supposed to. am hoping that someone on this list can shed some light on it.

    Whta I am trying to do is evluate two arrays. One array is populated with a list. The other array is populated with list items that are found in the first array. Array 2 can have either all of the items found in array 1, some, or none. I want to create a marker that would tell me which items in array 2 are found in array 1 and where.

    My code so far:

    for argument sake lets say:

    $add[$key] ($key defined earlier) is equal to "a, b, e, g" $add[$key] is the second array

    $$key is the second array, and it equals "a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i" $$key is the first array.

    code block:

    $x = 0; do { for ($y = 0; $y <= count ($add[$key]); $y++) { if ($add[$key][$y] == $$key[$x]) { $mark[$x] = $x; } } $x++; }while ($x < count ($$key));

    So, the idea is that every time $add[$key] at "Y" position is equal to $$key at X position, a third array is populated with the location value of X.

    but this is not what I am getting spti back at me. $mark is populated every iteration of the inner loop regardless if $add[$key][$y] == $$key[$x]

    Any suggestions?

    thanks!

    Someone else installed the PHP4.0.4, but I couldn't find the php.ini anywhere (I used "find" command to search the whole box), however, the PHP is working fine. Is it possible that the PHP can still work without php.ini?

    Thanks.

    You should look in one of the following areas:

    /etc /etc/httpd /etc/httpd/conf /user/local

    You may also want to use the locate instead of find. locate php.ini should do it.

    Thanks to all for the suggestions.

    I used

    <?php phpinfo(); ?>

    and it shows that php.ini is in /usr/local/lib, but actually, it's not there. Pretty strange.

    Thanks.

    Actually, it shows where PHP will _look_ for php.ini. If it doesn't find it, built in defaults are used.

    The PHP installation process does _not_ install php.ini - you need to do that yourself; there are two sample ini files in the distribution that you can modify to meet your needs. Make sure you put the in the place shown in the phpinfo output, and if running PHP as an Apache module, mmake sure you restart apache to cause the ini file to be reread.

    Hi, I am a newbie in the field oh php and databasing, but I would like to learn a bit to create a database driven site. I want to have a database with products, and the html pages for the products and categories are 'built' automatically from templates.

    First of all, am I right in thinking that PHP (and a database) is the way to do this?

    Secondly is CodeCharge [ http://www.codecharge.com ] any good? I was thinking of trying it, but I want to make sure that it is not a "FrontPage" type program (generating bad code). I don't want to try to understand code that is wrong.

    Are there any other programs that will create the php code for me?

    Any help / pointers / suggestions much appreciated,

    Cheers, Donald

    Hello everyone- I have a pretty easy question that I can't seem to answer myself so I'm coming to you all. Below you'll see some html code for a form. Now what happens is that when I click on one of the images to submit the form (either on the update_event.gif image or the delete_event.gif image) the form goes to redirect.php. The problem I am having is that I have a switch statement which runs off the variable "button" on the redirect.php page (hence the name="button" in the form). However, you would think if you clicked on the update_event.gif that "button" would be set to "updateEvent" on the redirect.php page. Well it isn't set to anything at all! Here's the other problem, since I have two different acctions I can do on the same page I can't do Hidden variables on this page because I can't have button being two different values.

    Anyway, what I need is when a user clicks on the image to submit the form I need the button to be set to the correct value. Any suggestions on how to do this??

    <form action="redirect.php" method="post">

    <input type="image" border="0" name="button" src="images/update_event.gif" value="updateEvent">

    <input type="image" border="0" name="button" src="images/delete_event.gif" value="deleteEvent">

    For images i think its different, i don't think you can force the image name that value instead the value gets turned into "button_x" and "button_y" with relation to where the mouse clicked on the image. In any event try using GET method instead of POST method to see whats displayed on the url string then you will have your answer

    You'll need to determine what sort of PHP installation you have; put phpinfo() in a script and run it. The info at the top in the configure command section should give you a clue. If it refers to apache then you have a module rather than a cgi.

    If you have the cgi then it will probably be in your apache cgi-bin directory, but you should be able to use the Unix 'find' command to locate it if you have shell access.

    Why do you use un/serialize() for array? If you are using PHP4 session, you don't need it. It's done in session module. Multiple serialize() may be causing your problem.

    I think this question has been asked before, even in PHP Builder, but I still haven't seen a plausible answer. :)

    Basically, I want to protect images in a folder (it's for a family album thing). It's going to be on a Linux server and I plan to use .htaccess to protect the folder. Is there a way to use custom forms (the usual ones with the Submit button) to allow people to enter the said folder, and not use the usual pop-ups that IE or Netscape or any browser presents the user with?

    I don't want want people to be able to leech the images without entering a password.

    Thanks in advance for all your help.

    Your question is not really clear. If you are trying to access a mysql server on a remote machine then you will need to ensure that the remote machine is configured to recognise the user and password that is being used to connect to the mysql daemon.

    Hello all,

    Of course, apologies if this was covered, I didn't see it in the archives.

    I recently upgraded to Apache 1.3.19 and PHP 4.04pl1, and my sessions just . . . stopped working.

    I start the session, register the vars, no errors are generated, but as far as I can tell the actual value is NOT being saved. session_is_registered("myvar") returns a 1, but when $myvar returns nothing, even when I've explicitly set it to a value on the previous page. I set the value, then register the var.

    PHP writes out a session file, but it only contains the names of the vars I've registered -- shouldn't the values be there as well?

    This code was all working, now it's busted, any ideas? Might I have missed a compile options? I've been taking blind stabs at workarounds with no luck. Thanks in advance . . .

    Since you are using PHP4.0.4pl1, you also should be able to access session vars with $HTTP_SESSION_VARS. Dose it make differences?

    I have two functions like the ones below. If the first one creates a variable as global, shouldn't it be accesible to the second function?

    function setGlobal() { global $test;

    $test = "123"; }

    function getGlobal() { global $test;

    echo $test; }

    Global doesn't CREATE global variables, it allows variables to be used as globals. For example, in the above setup, you would do this instead:

    function setGlobal() { global $test;

    $test = "123";

    return $test; }

    $test = setGlobal();

    function getGlobal() { global $test;

    echo $test; }

    And now, getGlobal will echo $test as:

    123

    Of course, if you are looking to create global variables in a single function, then you simply would do something like this:

    function setGlobal() { global $test;

    $test[0] = "123"; $test[1] = "456"; $test[2] = "789";

    return $test; }

    and that would return the array $test, and therefore:

    $test = setGlobal();

    $test would be an array, and then you could set global in any function $test and be able to use multiple values (as per the array). This is easier than globaling 20 or so values you may need.

    hello all. I am attempting to register two session variables that are in fact class instances. As per instructions, the definitions for these classes are prepended to the files being loaded so the class defs are present when the session starts.

    If I do this on the first page:

    session_start(); session_register("off"); session_register("req");

    where "off" and "req" are actually class instances

    and then try this on page two:

    header("Content-Type: text/plain"); (session_is_registered("req")) ? print("req: yes\n") : print("req: no\n"); (session_is_registered("off")) ? print("off: yes\n") : print("off: no\n"); var_dump($req); var_dump($off);

    I get a response that both $off and $req are registered variables. however the output of var_dump for $req is null while the output for $off shows the frozen object. If I reverse the order of the session_register on page one, then the var_dump shows values for $req but not $off.

    I am using DB storage for the sessions. my callback functions are operating - I can see the serialized data in the table for both the $req and the $off class instances.

    Any clues on where I need to look to solve this one?

    Having a function able to identify where it was called from has been discussed on the developers list several times. The result is that it would slow down every function too much, even when the feature was not used. You will not be seeing this feature in PHP, I am afraid. Execution speed is very important to the developers. (And I agree!)

I want to tie all these items to the info in the general form, so I want to be able to send all the data to the database at once.

    $array = explode("\n", $input);

    The input being the stuff fromt he textarea (or the scrolling text box as you call it)

    $array would be an array of the information...$array[0] would be the first line, $array[1] the second line, etc.

    I got this strange problem, maybe a design flaw, please look at it and tell me what's wrong.

    3 files in total

    1.php3 ---------------------------------- <?php session_start(); ?> <html> <FORM action="./2.php3" method="post"> <P> <input name="var" type="text"><br> <INPUT type="submit" value="Send"> </FORM> </html> ----------------------------------

    2.php3 ---------------------------------- <?php session_start(); ?> <html> <? session_unregister("var"); print $var; print "<A HREF=\"./3.php3?var=$var\">GO</A>"; ?> </html> -----------------------------------

    3.php3 ----------------------------------- <?php session_start(); ?> <html> <? session_register("var"); print $var; ?> </html> ------------------------------------

    When I goto 1.php3 and type in something in the text field, then goto 2.php3 and click go, it automatically goto 3.php3 with data that I type in 1.php3. The problem starts when I click BACK button on the browser to 1.php3 and type in another data and click the button on the form again, but here is the trouble. I seems to be getting the data I type in First, not the current one. By using phpinfo(), I cannot find the data are all up to date, I wonder how this data still ends up sitting there.

    Can anyone tell me what's going on?

    BTW, going back once again with the second set of data and proceed to 2.php3 seems fine. Could it be cache of browser?

    That's because your "variable_order" is "EGPCS". (Default) So your PHP is working fine.

    FYI

    Use $HTTP_*_VARS to avoid this kind of problems. Variable order may change server to server, so you might not able to rely on it even if you know well about it.

    Hey all,

    I'm uploading .gifs using a php script and I'm wondering if there's some way I can avoid having to set the height/width properties manually. Windows stores this info automatically, and so does IE. Is there some way to read this information from the file itself? (I host on unix).

    Thanks, john.,

    If you don't want formatting, just name a text file with the extension .doc and Word will happily open it and add all the Word crap to it.

    Alternatively, I think there are some converters out there which could take say HTML and convert to RTF or whatever.

    I was hoping that this PHP list would be of people developing with PHP, who have reached some level of familiarity with the product and when they have had a fair go at solving a problem, they then posted it to the list. For example, we have a problem in our code where the last object in an array of objects sometimes vanishes into thin air depending on whether you comment-out a block of unrelated code further up the script.

    Unfortunately, this list is full of people with questions like "I want to access a database with PHP. Can someone please send me the source code".

    Does anyone know of any other PHP lists that are more suited to non-trivial, expert-related discussions?

    If there aren't any around, I'll start one on Yahoogroups or some other similar service.

    regards Ian.

    Sounds like an interesting problem, but related specifically to your code. Post it and see..?

    Well, remember it's called PHP General not PHP Advanced Techy Wizardry. :)

    The reason it's general and not advanced is that if they made an advanced list as you suggest, the newbies would all go there and ask their questions.

    There are quite a few experienced, knowledgeable and advanced users around here. It also helps if you actually ask your questions sometimes too you know 8)

    Feel free to do it, and best of luck. :)

    Sounds like a conversation that already happend on this mailing list a few days ago, and then was dropped. Maybe you should read some of the previous postings before continuing this line of thought (for reference) and to prevent the exact type of postings you are trying to avoid, i.e., Posting from People who do NOT read the FAQ, older posting, etc.

    Also, remember this, most of the time, 'experts' who have problems either (a) can solve the problem themselves, because that is what a programmer does, or (b) don't have problems. Sure, a syntax error here or there, but most 'experts' I know usually fall into the 'A' category.

    Now, don't get me wrong, I would love to see a more professional, higher end mailing list, but at the same time, having expected the php-general mailing list to cater to 'Experts' only is a bit egotistical (not the right word, sounds to harsh that way, but I can think of a better one, so just us the cant_think_of_word("egotistical") function and it will be all right).

    So, before posting next time, please try and read older posts concerning the same or similar subject, and also try and understand, that while it may seem non-trivial to you how to connect to PostgreSQL from XXX Server passing through YYY Software, to many it may not, and that is why this is the PHP-General Mailing List, not the PHP-Master Mailing List.

    This was NOT a flame, and no flame retardent clothing was needed. =)

    Merely trying to quell a possible brush fire.

    Just my .02c... I really hate these sorts of questions... As the previous poster said, if there was a newbie only list, it'd be full of newbies, and you'd never get anything answered cause there'd be only newbies, and newbies would all come to the advance list to ask their questions.

    I'd bet my arm that all the best php programmers of the world, hang out on this list. I've read heaps of replies by people who _write_ php (shout out rasmus), and I myself read posts when I can, and without sounding like a tool, I'm a very experienced PHP developer... But sometimes I have questions that could be construed as "newbie" because they relate to something I've never used before, or any reason...

    Plus, I like helping the newbies.. I remember the first time I used php, and I had some learnin' to do back then :-)

    There are a number of people here who have some skills with PHP and are willing to help. The topic of fragmenting the list has been raised recently and I think the consensus was that there will always be those who follow the knowledge, however many 'expert' lists are set up. Search for FAQ on the archives for the whole sordid discussion.

    My suggestion would be to stick with the expertise that is on this list.

    Cheers

    Being a newbie, and as i'm sure is the case with alot of other newbies, one that doesn't have a lot of programming back ground, ask stupid questions to this list because for some things that you find easy others, like my self, don't know what to look for in the manual ... so we ask it here... now if it wasn't for the more knowledgeable people on this list, I like many others, would be stuck with out any where to go ..

    Hey Peter,

    not to keep this discussion going (which of course i do by typing this), but i wanted to add a quick comment on what you wrote...in a lot of ways, i'm a "newbie" to PHP...i've only been using it seriously for a couple months (max)....but, i hate having others figure things out for me when i feel like i have the chance at figuring it out...so, i really take the time and put in the effort to look through the discussions, check the website, think and search, etc...i speak for myself of course, but i think the most frustrating thing (in any list, not just PHP) is NOT when a "newbie" asks "hey, how come i can't get variables within a function" ( the answer being "use global $variable name), but when someone posts a question like "i want to connect to mysql and display some stuff. how do i do this" Its not really a personal insult or anything, but to me, a post like that means that the person did not take the time to even read a tutorial; they just want someone to do it for them. Also, the "can you give me an example" thing is fine; sometimes things are tricky, and i would never tell someone to hold a question back. recently i was curious about authentication systems, so i looked around on the net, read some posts, looked through some books i had, and learned about it on my own, rather than typing "can someone tell me how to write an authentication system". So, IMHO, the part that gets people riled up is when its pretty obvious that the person has not even taken time to read a tutorial or try it on their own; the flipside is this: (at least when I see a post like this) "ok, i've looked EVERYWHERE, and i can't figure out why echo "$ARRAY{VARIABLE}"; won't work? any thoughts? That kinda question, in my eyes, is totally understandable. "what does echo do?" however is not... I'm not so much responding to you as giving my .02c about this whole topic...and for people who don't know, especially since the really good php coders on this list won't say "Sincerely, Rasmus, ( look for my name in the credits)" or "Julie, (author of that book people keep recommending), there are some SERIOUSLY GOOD coders on this list; respect everyone's time and try to figure out what you can for yourself- -its the best way to learn. When you get stuck, then ask. And for people who get really frustrated with the repeated "what's the best PHP editor", hell, i just smile and delete the e-mail, waiting to see who'll give that poster a nice reply... ok, sorry for those who're still reading....its 2:30 EST and i'm coding a minimum spanning tree in java, so this is a nice break...

    best regards to all, jack

    Hello,

    I try to use passthru() command to execute command line in my script. At Telnet I can use following command to execute my java program and out put is fine.

    $java HelloWorld

    So, I need to embed this command line in the script like this :

    //---- java.php ---- <? passthru("java HelloWorld") ; ?>

    But call through browser its return nothing. no out put , no error display. I test my script by log-in Telnet to call the PHP script directly.

    $php java.php

    The out put is right.

    What should I do ? I try exec() , system() but result is same.

    Thanks,

    If you're not in a restricted shell, or some wacko chrooted environment you can try to install ImageMagick or NetPBM under your login directory.
