Hi,

I used to install every version up to 4.0.4 with apxs.
Always worked fine. But Version 4.0.6 fails, telling me that apache
would not have been built with mod_so support!
I am using apache 1.3.6.

Any idea?

Regards,

Alex

PS: Please mail cc-me because I am currently offlist!
Thanx.

Thanks alot! I didn't do that because I wasn't aware of the nl2br() function.

I just taught myself php last weekend. There's still plenty for me to learn.

See <http://php.net/preg-replace>. You can use the "e" or "f" modifier to count the number of captured spaces and write that number into your "<4sp>" replacement pattern.

Ah. I see why you're having trouble: documentation of the 'F' modifier has apparently be excised from the manual since the preg_replace_callback() has replaced it in PHP 4.0.5. If you've got 4.0.5, use the new function instead. If you've got an earlier version, here's the info on 'F':

"If this modifier is set, preg_replace() treats the replacement parameter as a function name that should be called to provide the replacement string. The function is passed an array of matched elements in the subject string. NOTE: this modifier cannot be used along with /e modifier; and only preg_replace() recognizes this modifier."

For example: $ftpdata['path'] = preg_replace("/(matchtext)/F", "replace_func",$ftpdata['path']);

function replace_func($arr) { ... }

Hello

My name is Robert-Jan and I've been webdesigning since 97 (very basic HTML sites, little Java and Flash). I got a job on the web in 99 and this was mainly providing content and other guys did the asp stuff for me.

This is why I kindo overslept the database hype. And heck I want to learn it! The question is where can I learn this. I've downloaded the manual at php.net but this wasn't very satisfying as I really don't like reading lots of complicated stuff on the screen of my laptop. Are there any books you guys/gals could recommend? Are there (non university/school) classes (satisfactory)?

Please tell me cause I really want to automate the sites I run now.

Cheers and thanks for your help

Then print it. No kidding. I'm all for conserving paper, but this is no waste. The PHP manual--*with annotations*--is a very good introduction to PHP. IMO, far too many people try to get by w/o reading the manual, then end up spending hours or days struggling with something that would have taken them seconds or minutes if they'd read the manual through.

A printout gives you get the best of both worlds: scribble notes all over the printout, while doing copy/pastes of the code snippets of the user annotations from the online version.

> Are there any books you guys/gals could recommend? Are there (non > university/school) classes (satisfactory)?

Julie Meloni has two good intro-level books. Many people seem to like the Wrox book as well. PHP.net has a list of other books (I believe there's a link from <http://php.net/support.php>). Pick whichever one you're most comfortable with.

As to courses, any generalized intro-to-programming should be helpful for understanding concepts & terminology common to PHP and every other programming language.

You mention an interest in databases. If you're using MySQL (which you should, at least while you're learning, since virtually every PHP tutorial for databases uses MySQL as its DBMS), the essential MySQL tutorial/reference book IMO is Paul DuBois' "MySQL" from New Riders. It even has a chapter devoted to using MySQL with PHP.

Caveat: do not expect to "learn databases" from any PHP reference. Database concepts, the SQL language, and the peculiarities (features, functions, syntax) of your DBMS are all big, important topics requiring a dedicated text of their own.

My recommendations: The PHP.net manual, plus any online or printed PHP tutorial of your choice. If you're planning to work with databases, add any standard intro to database concepts and SQL, plus the manual for your chosen DBMS.

Good luck!

If you're running Windows, try the .chm (windows helpfile?) version of the manual -- IMHO it's much easier to navigate then the HTML version. I find it indispensable.

Try: the Oreilly PHP pocket reference. It shows you how to make forms.

Also "MySQL" from the New Riders has a good chapter on PHP and mySQL

www.webmonkey.com has some good tutorials.

hope this helps!

it's trivial with Javascript, but if you don't want to use that it's still doable.

Hi...

I have this issue that is killing me. I installed PHP 4.0.4 with Solaris 8 and Apache. I want to use LDAP connecting to a server in the net (not the same server where i'm working on) And i configure PHP with:

configure --with-apxs=/usr/apache/bin/apxs --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-ldap

then 'make install' and everything works fine until i try:

/usr/apache/bin/apachectl start

then i have this &!% message:

Syntax error on line 236 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: ld.so.1: /usr/apache/bin/httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/apdap_unbind_s: referenced symbol not found /usr/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

Do you know what can be wrong? There's a lack in the documentation regarding "PHP and LDAP" so i'm not able to find any info. Any advice from you will be Really appreciated. Thanx!

Andrey Bayona.

I'm modifying some code for ampache (ampache.kveton.com) and have run into a snag that I'm not sure I understand completely.

Part of the code produces a URL similar to the following:

http://myhost/playlist.pls?song=100&song=101&song=102

and $song then gets passed to this function:

function get_song_path_from_id ( $song ) { GLOBAL $dbh, $db_name;

$songs = ''; $count = 0;

if ( is_array( $song ) ) { while ( list($k,$v) = each($song) ) { //does some cool stuff } } else { //does some other stuff } return ($songs); }

So, am I correct in assuming that $song will never be considered an array? (basically, given the above code and URL, $song will always equal 102)

I'm new to PHP, and since I didn't write the original code, I'm not sure if this is a bug, or something that I just don't fully understand. Assuming it is a bug, can anyone offer some suggestions on how to take the URL and parse it out and input the values into an array called $song? (get_song_path_from_id() is used by several other parts of the code, so any modifications to that code would need to leave the rest of the functionality intact)

Thanks.

--kurt

P.S. If anyone is looking for a simple, easy-to-use (and set up) mp3 manager, I highly recommend ampache. It doesn't have a bunch of bells & whistles (which I don't want) -- it simply provides a simple, effective way to manage playlists and play your mp3 songs from anywhere.

attached mail follows:

I should also clarify that .pls is set up as a PHP extension and the page is being interpreted by the PHP engine.

I am working in a virtual server environment on FreeBSD with PHP4/apache (I don't have root access to the server).

I would like to install fdf support. The install instructions that came with the package from Adobe are minimal.

From reading the docs on php.net I understood that I could modify my apache httpd.conf with something like this:

php_value extension_dir /usr/home/serverone/usr/local/lib/mylib php_value extension libFdfTk.so

So far that isn't working.

It looks like the two relevant files I need are: FdfTk.h libFdfTk.so

I put both of these files in the directory I referenced above: /usr/home/serverone/usr/local/lib/mylib

I am not clear if I need to put the FdfTk.h in a specific location and how I need to reference that.

Any suggestions for how to proceed would be appreciated!

Hi all,

I know I'm doing something dumb but I keep missing it. What I am trying to do is parse through some text and pick up starting at each "<font" and ending with each </a>. Starting at "<a href" and ending with "</a>" works fine. I thought I read the eregi docu thoroughly but maybe not ??

Any help would be appreciated! Andre

//get a line $line = fgets($page, 1024); //loop to get all news page links /* while(eregi("<a.*href=\"(.+)\".*>.*<\/a>", $line, $match)) */ while(eregi("<font.*<\/a>", $line, $match)) { //print out the news link print("<LI>"); $link = ereg_replace("HREF=\"", "HREF=\"http://that domain . com/", $match[0]); print($link); print("<BR>\n");

attached mail follows:

If you have a shell account on the box, or if you have a similar box yourself, you can build the curl extension as a standalone curl.so and simply dl() it from your script.

eg.

./configure <your regular configure flags> --with-curl=shared make

You should then see modules/curl.so which you can dl()

You can get your server's regular configure flags from a phpinfo() call on it.

Hi all,

This might be a dumb question but can anybody tell me why on earth this doesn't work ?

session_start() $logged_in = session_is_registered("auth");

if($logged_in != true) {

if(!(pam_auth($usernamelogin,$pass,&$error))) { // send an error if it doens't login in } else { session_register($username); session_register($auth); $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"] = $usernamelogin; $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["auth"] = 1;

}

$user = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"]; start_page("$user's home page");

}

Now the problem is, that although it auth's ok, and username and auth seem to be set, anytime i try to access $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"] it is blank.

Also if i try to use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"] directly in a string i get and error about expecting one of a variety of string types.

Sorry if this is a really dumb question.

Greetings !

I have a table in mysql:

id item 1 Apple 2 Orange 3 Banana

I displayed all the items in HTML with PHP

<form> while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $item=$row["item"]; echo " <table> <tr><td><input type=text value=$item name=item> </td> </tr> </table>"; }; </form>

Now if I want to capture Banana or any other particular item from the displayed HTML form, and pass the variable to the next form, how can I do it?

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Warm Regards, DT

On my site I want people to be able to type HTML into a form. The function strip_tags(); is great but if a person types:

(note the omitted " )

it screws up the whole page. Is there a function script some place that will stop/fix these kind of errors?

Also, is there a function that will check if links in a swatch of text are any good?

Thanks!

Everything isn't removed if you set it up like this:

strip_tags($string,"<a>,<i>,<b>")

that part is working fine, it's tags with missing quotes that have me worried, like this:

futurebird.com http://futurebird.diaryland.com

attached mail follows:

Once you open up ANY HTML tag to the public you open a huge can of worms and trouble, like the following for example

<a href="http://php.net" onmousemove="javascript:alert('Blar Blar Blar');">Click me!</a>

My javascript is not great (I could not think of anything more damaging) but its pretty clear what the possibilities are.

Strip all tags and use a custom system is my advice

('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Hi all,

I've been searching all over for a solution to get pspell going... I managed to get 4.06 to build with pspell support enabled, first I got an error about no dictionaries... so I installed aspell - since I read there is a dependancy of some kind between them, now I have a new problem.

When I execute the example from pspell_suggest (at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pspell-suggest.php)

I get the following output:

Warning: PSPELL couldn't open the dictionary. reason: Unable to load the "aspell" module. in /var/www/spell.php on line 2

Warning: 0 is not an PSPELL result index in /var/www/spell.php on line 4

Warning: 0 is not an PSPELL result index in /var/www/spell.php on line 5 Possible spelling:

My system specs are: - GNU/Debian 2.2 2.4+ kernel (and a bunch of unstable packages needed to build 4.06 from unstable) - libpspell-dev 0.11.2-2.3 - libpspell2 0.11.2-2.3 - ispell 3.1.20-12 - libaspell8 0.32.6-3.4 - aspell 0.32.6-3.4 - libaspell-dev 0.29.1-1 - php4 4.0.6-3

I'm not sure what else to try... Any help would be greatly appricated.

Hi James,

Thanks for your mail. But I think the problem like somewhere else.

I have the following: echo $buffer; There result : Content-Type: multipart/mixed;

This is wrong. It should be Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------B42DA66C4EC07C9B572A58FC"

I don't know why it is not reading the whole string. It seems to treat the *boundary* part as another line. I read somewhere the perl compatiable regexp can read a multiply line treating CRLF as part of the line.

Any pointers

Scratching around in my multiple mailbox folders, I found these mesages on the topic. Hopefully there is some still useful info there.

There was a message posted today for a script viewer that is probably what you guys are looking for. It can be found here: http://www.angorasoftware.com/scriptviewer.html

This windows application is designed to show a parsed script file without the need of a web server. This may be useful for CD-ROM distribution, Stand-Alone materials, and other uses. The application starts the php executable with a file parameter, showing the result in a HTML format.

Hope this helps.

Yowza!

Thanks Phil. I went to the site above and found out that they also have a new site at www.httrack.com, and that the thing is also available for Linux and Solaris. I downloaded and simply launched it (as usual, you have your three-screens-load of switches) and it correctly parsed and saved the files in a safe format (index.html and then indexXXXX.html, where XXXX is an alphanumberic combo). Works great: anybody looking out for a quick way to move some PHP site to a CDRom should go take a look.

Thanks again ##############
