Use list()
list($domain,$tld,$firstname,$lastname,$userid,.....) = $data;
If you want to put it in a function, declare them all globals beforehand.
function myfunc()
{
global $domain,$tld,$firstname,$lastname,$userid...;

Umm, you can add them to the global space this way.
Inside a function.
$GLOBALS['domain']=data[0];
$GLOBLAS['tld']=data[1];
...
Can't you? Everyone?
Or you can pass as a reference in the last parameter of your function call,
the variable that you want returned as an array
Function get_data($parm,$parm,&$array_parm)
And set the values of $array_parm['variablename']=whatever
Inside the function, and return $array_parm at the end of the function call.
So, if you called your function as
get_data("somethinghere","somethingelse",$returned_array);
$returned_array['domain'] will equal whatever $data[0] was
But I think adding the variable to the GLOBAL array will work fine.

Question, why are you 'die'ing on a variable assigntment? Wouldn't you want
to 'die' on the actualy db_query()?
Note the added '%', this is assuming you are using MySQL, though they are
generally the same, I believe, with other DB's. The % is essentially
wildcard of any amount. So, if the last_name was BOB
it would find
BOBBY
BOBBER
ADOBOB
$query = "SELECT * FROM whitepages WHERE last_name LIKE '%$last_name%'
$andor first_name LIKE '%$first_name' ORDER
BY last_name" or die("Nothing to see here");
In this query, we are including the First Name. In this, we are also using
the $andor variable, which you can define as AND, or OR, or allow the user
to define it by using a radio box or the like when making the search. I
suggest setting a default of OR for the variable $andor.

NOTE(!): LIKE '%foo%' DOES NOT SCALE. It looks like you are making a phone book,
which could get to be a lot of numbers. On the other hand 'foo%' oddly scales to
hundreds of thousands of records without any problems (make sure it's key'd!).
Which should work fine in your instance - just have people type in the first
4 letters of the persons name.

Very true, good point. Good thing to keep in mind, and something I

attached mail follows:
the way I'd do it is " ... WHERE lastname LIKE '$last_name%" AND firstname
LIKE "$first_name%"
this gets round the problem of blank first names and treats all names as
being the start of a name, e.g. "Smith" will find "Smithson", but because of
your ORDER BY, for an exact imnput, an exact match will always show first.
haven't tried this at all but seems sound sql.

Well, if you think a bit about it it's not odd at all. For "%foo%" the DB
has to examine the entire string until it finds an occurence of "foo" or
until it reaches the end - and it can not use any (normal) index. for it.
For "foo%" it just has to examine the first three chars - that's even
faster than "WHERE phone = 'foobar-something'"
and works very nicely with a perfectly normal index.

This was not the correct answer. He asked for configuration parameters and that is best answered with "read the output from ./configure --help". Besides that in every distribution is a file php.ini-dist with enough comments.
The so called "PHP Manual" can be found at http://php.net/manual. I should know this, because I'm one of the editors.

Sure
.. = parent ../.. = parent of that etc...
/ = root
you can get to any directory on your server by using a combination of .. and directory names, or, and this is often a good idea, you can just specify the location from root, for example
/path/to/my/file
that way if you move the file with .. in it, it'll still find your file correctly........

Yeah ok, sometimes I go too far with nested folders. But I figure if anyone wants to go through 30 folders, unace, unrar, ungzp, untar, then run a self-extracting zip file that requires a password, then decrypt a 64 bit blowfish encryption file, then they deserve any information they'd like. Including myself.
Or maybe I just like abusing nested technology. Go figure.

. = current directory.
Alright, that wasn't that useful.

Greetings.
As "Frank K" wrote for some days ago, I was into the same thing, but I need help with the following: I am creating a messaging central, which is quite about the same as a web community if you like, or whatever. The thing is, I need to save all the users, mailboxes and login dates... But I only have one database, but infinite tables. Does anyone has any examples or tips? The following didn't go very well, but probably because I suck in MySQL:
$query = "CREATE TABLE $tb_name ( UiD bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, uName text NOT NULL, uPwd text NOT NULL)";
What I was trying to do is to create one table which is called "users", which contains : uID (unique id, incremental!) uOnline (boolean) uName and uPWD
And some other stuff, but as you can see, it did not go very well... Any help is appriciated!

If that query did not work, then maybe the user that you are connecting to the database as does not have table create privileges?
The syntax of the query is correct I am a little confused why you are using a text type for those columns And you can probably stand to use unsigned for UiD, since I doubt that you will be using negative values.
Note that the value you pass for bigint() only represents the field width that mysql should display. It has nothing to do with the size of the number it can store.

Sure. It's an "environment variable", so it should always be set, even if it is empty.
It's just a matter that all variables are declared, THEN their values are assigned.
That's how C works, and that's what PHP is built in, so that's the behavior. It makes it more standard with other applications, without loosing any real functionality.
So it's annoying at times, but with just a switch-aroo of the functions you are using, you can do the same stuff.

You might want to use:-
$aryQbuff = file("/pathto/filename", "r");
You will then have each line of the file in an array.
Then:- $intNumLines = count($aryQbuff); for($i=0;$i<=$intNumLines;$i++) { $intQnum = explode(".", $aryQbuff[$i]); // $intQnum now has the question number in it // Do some processing }
This is just one way - there are plenty of others.

If you typecast the string to a numeric type somewhere between setting $result to '1234 - the number', you WILL get the typecasted value, which would be the integer 1234.
This may explain why you're only getting the number at the beginning of the string. Now, the question is: is there a typecast? Keep in mind that a typecast may be hidden - you don't have to explicitly typecast { $var = (int)$var } to get this effect. It could be implicit with a function call, etc.

Use either $HTTP_GET_VARS to see only data submited with get, or only $HTTP_POST_VARS for data submited with POST.
If it exists in post but not get, it should _not_ be shown in your browser. But just because something _should_ do something doesn't mean it will.

If you're trying to open an external file make sure you prepend the URL with 'http://'. If that's a local file and it's not finding the file, make sure the path is correct.

Technically yes.
In an HTTP session, the server returns a header "Content-length" which lists the more or less exact size of the file being sent.
But there isn't really an easy way of reading HTTP headers in php, yet. I really wish there were.
You can use fsockopen to make your own http session, and you may be able to use the CURL functions. But I really haven't a clue how, as I haven't yet had the time to play with them much.
Maybe if it works, that's an easy way to do it...

If you use fread() to save the contents of the file into a variable and then use strlen() on the variable that will be pretty close. If it's important add on a few hundred bytes for the headers that don't get read in.

Caution: The server is not required to send this header - PHP for example doesn't do it automatically.

Just make sure you use foreach() instead of while() when you loop many times.
foreach() is roughly 50% faster when I benched them.
And never pass type other than object or array. foreach() simply dose not work with error message. (i.e. You will get 'server not found or dns error' or empty output)

This is a good time for a quick lesson on just exactly what include/require actually does.
The following two examples are exactly the same, in almost every way:
=== Example 1 ===
example1A.php:
<?php
$greeting = "Hello";
include("example1B.php");
echo $greeting;
?>
example1B.php:
<?php
$greeting .= " World!";
?>
The output is "Hello World!", and that's all.
=== Example 2 ===
example2.php:
<?php
$greeting = "Hello"; $greeting .= " World!";
echo $greeting;
?>
The output is "Hello World!"
When you include a file it is almost exactly the same as if you went into the included file, cut out all the code, then went back into your first file and pasted it in.
So what you can use an included file almost exactly as you would use a function, without declaring anything as global! But there are obvious reasons why functions are better than includes, but you probably know that ;)
Example:
first file:
<?php
$greeting = "Hello there";
// Let's pretend these variables are actually set by someone POSTing data. $var1 = "Hi there"; $var2 = "Ho there"; $var3 = "Me there"; $var4 = "My there";
include("include.php");
echo $text;
?>
include.php:
<?php
if ($var1) { $greeting .= ", " . $var1; } if ($var2) { $greeting .= ", " . $var2; } if ($var3) { $greeting .= ", " . $var3; } if ($var4) { $greeting .= ", " . $var4; }
?>
Now you could do the exact same thing by just making the include file into a function. Or you could just paste it into your original file.
But the output remainds the same, no matter how you slice it.
QUESTION ANSWER:
The following:
> $sql = "..." > $result = ....; > include 'variables.php?table=$table';
Can be like this:
$table = "tablename"; $sql = "..."; $result = "..."; include ("variables.php");
The values of $table, $sql, and $result will all be the same in variables.php as they are in your source file.
Isn't that nice? Aren't you glad that I took 4 pages of text just to explain that single phrase? Shouldn't I get a pulitser for taking so little content and putting it into so much display? I should work for microsoft, shouldn't I?

Many people seem to sware that opening a direct connection to sendmail is faster than using the mail function, and often avoids errors more often.
Your mileage may vary, but I gather that a direct connection is faster, though not by much so don't get too concerned, than using mail.
So feel free to use either one.

Um...I think you could just use "global". As in:
global $domain, $tld, $firstname, $lastname, $userid;
Once a variable is declared global, any change to that variable inside the function is reflected outside of the function.
So:
function before_after () { global $var;
echo $var . "<BR>";
$var = "After";
echo $var . "<BR>"; }
$var = "Before";
echo $var . "<BR>";
before_after();
echo $var . "<BR>";
Hey, it is PHP. It's supposed to be simple ;)
Unless of course I'm wrong in this untested example, in which PHP was designed to make you suffer agonizing pain and terror that strikes to the very depth of your soul.
Or not.
Because it does work.
But there is one odd behavior I noticed.
If you change a variable inside a function, then declare it global, declaring it global reverts it's value to what it was before the function adjusted it (when global is inside the function, that is).
But if you first declare it global THEN change the value, it works as above. Kinda neet, I thought.

The issue probably lies (as Lindsay said) in Outlook express, more accurately in the memo box type that is being used.
Microsoft has a terrible habbit of (in their 'free' stuff atleast) using the Memo box (which has a limit of 32kb) for quick-view types of things. Anything over that and you'd see what you are.

I know that to do this somehow ignore_user_abort should probably be set to true for the purpose of the script itself. Then something could be done...but I wonder along with you, is there a way to tell the client "That's all there is! stop waiting!"
*scratches head*
Perhaps the outbut buffer may be part of the answer?
Perhaps PHP could use ob_start, then use ob_get_length to see how how much content must be sent.
Then send a header with the content length, and clear the buffer. Could that perhaps make apache end the session? Or perhaps some socket use to forcefully close the connection, but that may make apache angry and create some errors...but then again, it probably wouldn't.
This would answer all kinds of problems with mail() slowing down a script, or sleep() use, etc.
Anyone have other theories or better yet, a solution? This would allow me to have _so_ much fun playing around with the possibilities, no matter how intensive it'd have to be.
Does any other language have something exactly like this? Like Perl/C CGI, ASP, or JSP? Or is this purely a question of web-server support?

exactly... I don't want to set this option to an entire site just because of one little script I'm having trouble setting a header() or setcookie()... and I wanna use them in the middle of the output... something like ASP's <% response.flush=true %>, it can be set anywhere u want... but of course... the best way is to code right and not to mess with headers once the output has started... but sometimes I wish I could, u know?

I know what you mean. Until I decided to kill all but one single echo/print call, which is in a function I call at the bottom of the script, I often ran into problems where I needed to echo something at the top of a really really long control loop, but nested deep within it I had to set a cookie or use a redirect.
Which is why I killed all my echo/print calls in favor of a single function which I include at the bottom of my script ;)

I develop under Win98Me with Apache... but the script will run in Win2k with IIS...
does any of the ob_*() function family works under Win9x, or just in UNIX and Win2k/NT? Is there a reasonable explanation for this?
I see this as a real fault... means that nobody developing in Win9X platforms can get MS SQL error messages, or anything that needs some more of output handling, and not just relying on *_error() functions... ____________________________ .

I just tried it, and it seems to work like a charm on my Win98 machine (WAMP).
So far I have no problems with output buffering on my machine. Test script:
<?php function alter_buffer($buffer) { $buffer = ereg_replace("he", "MWUAHAHA", $buffer); return $buffer;
}
ob_start("alter_buffer"); echo "hi! "; echo "ho! "; echo "he! "; ob_end_flush(); ?>
Should output:
hi! ho! MWUAHAHA!
So as far as I know, at very least version 4.0.4pl1 supports Windows. Haven't tried anything with the gzhandler yet, but I'm told it works fine as long as you are using the windows port of it.
