Perhaps this is in every Perl programmer's dream. :-) But perhaps not every language has the luxury/willingness to include regular expressions in the core language, since they think *that* is convoluted.

well, one idea is to serialize the array and put into a HIDDEN text field to be submitted with the FORM.

Write a secure applet in java, is the only way how you "maybe" get access to the filesystem of the client. With php you will IMHO not be able to do that.

I'd think a "commit changes" on the last page would be more intuitive for the users, but the programming would get a bit complex ...

attached mail follows:

This probably isn't the most elegant method either, but this is how I did it:

function mark_sel($value, $option) { // Compare the actual value ($value) to a possible value ($option) to determine // if the possible value should be marked as "selected" in a form element. if ($value == $option) return 'selected'; }

In practice, it looks something like this:

echo '<select name="jenis_biasiswa">'. '<option' . mark_sel($actual_value_in_db, Penuh) . '>Penuh</option>'. '<option' . mark_sel($actual_value_in_db, Separuh) . '>Separuh</option>'. '<option' . mark_sel($actual_value_in_db, Sendiri) . '>Sendiri</option>'. '</select>' ;

A slightly more elegant method might be to write a function to write the entire option tag for you. Off the top of my head, that would probably be something like:

function print_option($selected, $value) { // $selected is the value of the selected element, $value is the value of this // element. echo '<option'; if ($value == $selected) echo ' selected'; echo '>' . $value . '</option>' . "\n"; }

If you want to get really fancy, write a print_selected function that accepts a list of options and loops through them to place the proper option tags, selections, etc. However, that's a bit beyond the scope of this message :)

Note also that the label displayed to the user and the value sent to the server can be different if you want, by using the value attribute (e.g., <option value="foo">Click here to foo!</option>).

Hi all,

I'm using on my new machine (SuSE 7.0) PHP4. In one PHP4-Script I use the mail-Function. But my /var/log/mail (qmail) does not give any entry for this mail.

Is there a bug?

In PHP3 it was all running good.

I have a serious problem here because this is a customers site!

maybe sendmail_path should be set, or else I think you can just check that sendmail is in the path. I know that you're using qmail, but it usually puts a wrapper called sendmail in the path which calls qmail.

they could be also be set in .htaccess or httpd.conf or maybe somewhere else. the best way to check is phpinfo()

I am trying to pull info from an Exchange LDAP server to make a dynamically created phonebook, and am having trouble with one field. I think the problem is that the script I have has everything pulled in an array, and all but the field I am having problems with are strings. The telephoneNumber would be integer. Would this cause the telephoneNumber info to not show up when I view it through a web browser?

Here is the script I have.

<?php $ldapserver = "myserver.com"; $basedn = "o=myOrganization"; $attribs = array ("cn", "title", "department", "telephoneNumber");

$dir = ldap_connect($ldapserver) or die("Failed to connect to LDAP server");

$r = ldap_bind($dir) or die("Failed binding to server");

$result = ldap_search($dir, $basedn, "sn=T*", $attribs) or die("Error executing LDAP search");

$info = ldap_get_entries($dir, $result); print count($info) . "entries returned<br>";

print "<table>";

for ($i=0; $i<$info["count"]; $i++) {

print "<tr>"; print "<td>"; print $info[$i]["cn"][0]; print "</td>"; print "<td>"; print $info[$i]["title"][0]; print "</td>"; print "<td>"; print $info[$i]["department"][0]; print "</td>"; print "<td>"; print $info[$i]["telephoneNumber"][0]; print "</td>"; print "</tr>";

I have a cookie that times out after an hour for security reasons. About 1 out of 200 of my users send me an email saying they can't log into my site and I find out that it's usually because their clocks are off.

look at it this way:

you are dealing with an INTERVAL of time, thus the only reason you really need javascript is in the construction of a date object.

you can either import that object into php as a string, or you can actually go the extra mile and set the cookie in javascript.

as far as I know the only way to set a cookie's expiration is with an exact GMT timestamp. If there were a way to tell a browser "1 hour from now" then this would solve my problem.

>you can either import that object into php as a string, or you can >actually go the extra mile and set the cookie in javascript.

right. I hate to do this though. I guess I'm asking if someone out there has had this problem and found a good way around it.

Just use a session cookie (by not providing an expiry time) and add the server's expiry timestamp to the value of the cookie. Then when you get that cookie sent to you, check it against your server's time and make the decision on whether to accept the cookie or not based on that.

That way you are immune from people not having their system clocks set right.

my advise : use that as less as possible, whatever is on the client side could be easy to hack, and not every browser understand JavaScript either.

Use cookies, 1-200 is out - means they are unable to use your service : they chousen it that way.

Not a matrix, it's called a Binary Tree (B-Tree); programming 101. also look for "recursion" near-by.

N / \ K Q \ S / \ R T

func count(x) { if (x == NULL) return(0);

Several people got the following error today when accessing my site. Does anybody know what is going on?

They are PHP scripts accessing a mysql database if that helps.

I am not sure if this is a physical memory problem or what....

if I put the following piece of code in a forloop does it use more memory or does it use the same memory since the same variable result is being used:

will it use up lots of memory if I execute it 1000 times or will it use the same memory.

It will re-use the same memory because of reference-count-based garbage collection feature in PHP 4.

Hello,

Is there a way with PHP to spawn an automatic download of an image file, a zip file, or PDF file (or other kind of file).

Basically I want to be able to popup that stupid little "Open/Save As" window at my discretion, rather than let the end users browser choose that.

Or is this something that should be done with Javascript?

e.g. even if they have a PDF viewer installed, I want to be able to force their browser to download it, even though their browser has the capability of viewing it in the browser window.

Thanks Dan

Can I change the typedef to signed short in sysdb.h file? Any other workaround.

Hello everyone,

I want to: -have online exams,etc. -make it possible to track each user's progress -provide online training videos -provide access to reference documents [searchable db], etc.

I'm looking for recommendations on the best tools to use to create and manage, such a system. I'm currently looking at MM COURSEBUILDER, combine with NT+SQLServer+PHP. I wanted to know if there is better way to approach this.

1) Have any of you done something similar? 2) What software do you recommend for this?

3) I plan to use NT+SQLserver+PHP and/or else. Any suggestions, comments?

What are the best tools to do this? By 'best', I mean: -easy (relatively) to implement -easy to manage [template based] -scalable

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

what about microtime() ?

you can do it your self:

$start = microtime(); mysql_query()... $stop = microtime();

$token = round($stop-$start, 3); echo "Query took $token seconds";

I mean this is not as precise as SQL would do itself, but will work approximately.

Problem with this is that many people use '+' in email addresses along with other strange characters (a friend of mine has an apostrophe in her address at General Electric).

Bottom line, trying to catch all valid email addresses using a regex is a really ugly thing to try to do. The one shown here will probably work for 95% or more of them though.

As an aside, underscores in domain names are illegal (more correctly, underscores in MX-related DNS records are illegal). As such, you don't need to have underscore to the right of the sign in this regex.

No, if you want to fetch that then do this:

$my_directory = dirname($PHP_SELF);

If you don't have register_globals on then you might have to do this instead:

$my_directory= dirname($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']);

Should end up with "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/cha" in $my_directory (in this particular case).

$DOCUMENT_ROOT is whatever your httpd.conf file says DocumentRoot is. Even if you don't use virtualhosts, there should be a DocumentRoot in one of your Apache config files. I believe Apache will complain loudly on startup if that parameter is missing.

I agree, but

$obj->method()->anotherMethod()

Hmm, the old, dirty hack print_r($obj). And the new functions:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-class.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-class-vars.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-object-vars.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-class-methods.php ...

I'd call these not only debugging function but functions that can be used for introspection.

Anyway, people should not use parts of the API your documentation does not mention as public. Whoever does so, should reread the book on OOP. Yes, it could be better, but think of the zillions of PHP scripts that will break and all the beginners - PHP is quite often a beginners language - will ask you, Reuben, for support ;).

Thanks for correcting my typo, Ulf. GDB => DBG :)

What does not work to be specific?

Hm, I'm using 4.0.4pl1. Perhaps this has been added somewhere in the 4.0.5RC series? Sorry, haven't got the chance of trying that (apart from using the PEAR from 4.0.5RC2).

=== class C1 { function &f() { return $this; } function g() { echo "Hi!"; } }

$C=new C; $C->f()->g(); ===

does not work me here.

>I don't use GDB, but it seems it supports traceback. >How about Zend Debugger? Does it support? Anyone?

Yes, I've heard that it supports traceback. I guess this means I have to use a source-level debugger for now. Lacking a stack trace leads to a rather cumbersome error reporting, since I have to supply __LINE__, __FILE__, and the name of the function in every call to the error function.

You probably came from Pascal or something similar, which formally separate 'function' from 'procedure'. They are exactly the same (i.e., subroutines: some piece of code you call and will eventually return to you, hence the word 'sub'.)

Yup, I'm reading the other posts.

But the fact of the matter is, I don't have time to wait for a new extension. I need to develop a solution *NOW*.

Thus, I will continue full-steam ahead with what I'm doing. I'll gladly switch to the new extension once/if it becomes available.

Is anybody reading the other posts about the work in progress being done by John? This extra work seems pointless if it is being looked into by the PHP development team.

Congratulations,

So you've overcome the PNVersion demons, now to others. What you need to do now is to locate the f73e89fd.0 file found in the PFPro library and make sure it is present in your OpenSSL or other SSL certs directory. It should be in the same directory as your server cert(s). That is what is generating the response code -31.

That file is (in the SDK 3.0) found in

verisign/payflowpro/linux/certs/f73e89fd.0

You need that to be in your SSL Certs directory in order for PHP to recognize that it exists, and present it to the Payflow Pro when it asks for it.

Read the php.ini file and the manuals on php.net.

There are some directives which can limit the parser to operate on files under a certain level.

You can also disallow functions if you care. As well as what directives can be overwritten by .htaccess files.

No idea where have I read all that, but I am sure there is.

Slightly off topic...

If you need features, postgresql is way ahead. It supports many advanced features that are not available under other systems such sub-selects, triggers, views, foreign key referential integrity, transactions and sophisticated locking (7.1 supports outer joins).

It was believed that mysql was faster for lightweight work, but recent tests has shown that this is no longer correct.

Even some large sites have been converted from mysql to postgresql (e.g. sourceforge).

If you are looking for a high end commertial system, oracle has many features.

Anuradha
