In your code, you have the lines:

---------------------------------------------- while($mp3d = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $mp3d = mysql_fetch_array($result); ?> ----------------------------------------------

In the while control structure, you are fetching a result into $mp3d, then inside the brackets, you fetch a second (non-existing) result into $mp3d again. Try it without the third line of that segment.

Uhh... maybe I'm missing something here, but the URL supplies $songid and the query is getting $id. Unless your getting $id from somewhere other than the URL, you're going to be getting only results with an empty songid field. Another thing to try is to "or die" your query to check to see if the SQL syntax is OK: $result=mysql_query($query,$connection) or die(mysql_error());

Good luck...

maybe my sql syntax is completely wrong, but the "$id" part was a random number i generated, and then I was saying WHERE songid(which is the database field) is equal to $id. is that the wrong way?

the reason why it's songid in that second <a> tag is because I wanted the random number to indentify the song pulled from the database..so the database uses that number in the part where it says..."stream.php?songid=<?php echo $id;?>

tell me if I need to clarify! chris

Well. if the random number created is outside the range of actual songid values that are in the database, you're not going to get any rows returned, are you? You could confirm by echoing your query and trying the same query, with the randomly generated number, in the mysql console. Or by checking the number of rows returned by your query with mysql_num_rows()

Incidentally, if songid is an int type, you don't want to pass it a value in quotes; only char types need to be quoted.

The Hubbell works fine; all that stuff IS blurry!

attached mail follows:

my guess would be that sgid is a character field. if this isn't the case then try hardcoding a known id into the query and seeing what happens. It could also be that the connection has failed, try something like:

if ($connection = mysql_connect()) { ... $id = rand(1,2); $query = "SELECT songname FROM mp3 WHERE sgid = " .$id; if ($result = mysql_query($query,$connection)) { $mp3d = mysql_fetch_array($result); ... } else echo("query failed"); ... } else echo("connection failed");

this'll give you an idea of where it's going wrong

Hi Chris,

If you're using MySQL 3.23+, you might want to consider using something like:

SELECT songname FROM mp3 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1

Not that this answers your original problem, but it seems to make more sense than manually coding a random number (which is, perhaps, impractical especiallyif you plan to add / take away entries to your table on a regular basis).

try this:

$query = "SELECT songname FROM mp3 WHERE sgid = \"$id\""; (or a little cleaner: $query = sprintf("SELECT songname FROM mp3 WHERE sgid = \"%d\"", $id); ) instead of:

$query = "SELECT songname FROM mp3 WHERE sgid = " .$id;

I have a potential project coming up that would require a developer well-versed in PHP. The site is largely an information site with some ecommerce, but there will be various extras like membership areas, password-protected logins, and other interesting things.

If you're interested, please reply to me with a plaintext resume and the URLs of sites you've built in PHP. Graphic design experience isn't particularly important; a solid understanding of PHP and what can be done with it is much more so. (HTML skills are essential, though.) It would be helpful to know about any tricks or features you've made with PHP that you're proud of, and, of course, I'd like to know your rate.

Unfortunately, while the project itself is on quite a reasonable timeline (work likely to be done beginning in September and continuing for several months), we need to identify a qualified PHP developer immediately--so if you are interested, please respond as soon as you can.

Best regards, Maurice

Hiya all.

Doing the usual web based mail system.

How can I check to see if a email has an attachment? Then download it if the user clicks on it?

Preferably a class, documentation or something similar, if you have it.

Please don't link an RFC, I hate RFCs, it is like reading Aramaic upside, backwards and on a webpage with some horribly tiled background and yellow color font.

I've been working on a webmail for POP3 but I guess the idea is about the same.

To check if a an email has attachments you use the function imap_fetchstructure() and then you can do something like this:

$struc = imap_fetchstructure(); count($struc->parts); if ($no_of_parts > 0) { echo "the message has attachments."; }

This is my way of doing it, the 'bad' thing with this kind of code is that it also includes HTML-messages. This can be prevented with some extra code though.

For downloading you use the same kind of thing, I guess it slightly more advanced and you have to do some decoding of the message.

Ok, since I've posted questions about this on a few occasions, I thought I'd be kind, and share the solution I have found to creating dynamic thumbnails from images stored within a MySQL database. For the sake of brevity, I will only show an example for jpeg...

To begin with, add your image to your Database. I opted to only pretreat my binary data with the addslasshes command.

Once your image is in the database, you need to be able to pull it out in a normal fashion. The getpic.php script handles this:

<?php if($id) { mysql_connect("$DBHOST","$DBUSER","$DBPASS"); mysql_select_db("$DBNAME"); $query = "select image,type from images where id=$id"; $result = mysql_query($query); $data = mysql_result($result,0,"image"); $type = mysql_result($result,0,"type"); Header( "Content-type: $type"); echo $data; }; ?>

Using getpic.php in conjuction with the <IMG> tag can display the fullsize picture.

Now, to the fun part! Dynamicly creating a thumbnail from the fullsize binary within your database. To create the thumbnail, I have a script called mkthumb.php:

<?php $src = imagecreatefromjpeg("http://www.barkingrat.com/photo/getpic.php?id=$id"); $twidth = imagesx($src)/3; $theight = imagesy($src)/3; $img = imagecreate($twidth,$theight); imagecopyresized($img,$src,0,0,0,0,$twidth,$theight,imagesx($src),imagesy($src)); imagejpeg($img); imagedestroy($img); ?>

You use mkthump.php in the same exact way that you use getpic.php. Now, obviously, mkthumb.php needs to be modified to handle filetypes other than jpeg. That should be a simple task, I just haven't done it yet.... should be as simple as checking the file type (I insert the type into a column when I store the original image)

this works..... if anyone can think of a better way to do anything I have done, feel free to add your 2 cents.... I'm certainly open to it. :)

I want to highlight some keywords in a text without losing its case.

How do I do that? I have something like the following:

$keyword="something here"; ob_start("highlight_keyword"); ?> <p><font face=tahoma sizejust some text<br> to get it to grab the text and highlight it<br> the keyword is right now... check it out<br> Something Here, see? it's with a different case...</font></p> <? ob_end_flush(); function highlight_keyword($buffer) { global $keyword; return eregi_replace($keyword,"<b>".$keyword."</b>",$buffer); }

the problem is that it's going to give me "...<b>something here</b>, see? it's with a different case...", with a lowercased keyword...

Several months ago, I made a conscious decision not to delete what I figured was just another "junk" e-mail. That decision has changed my life. Here you have the very same opportunity in front of you. If you take just five minutes to read through the following program you won't regret it. See for yourself!

Dear Friends & Future Millionaires: AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV: Making over half a million dollars every 4 to 5 months from your home for an investment of only $25 U.S. Dollars expense one time THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET ! ================================================== BE A MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!! Before you say ''Bull'', please read the following. This is the letter you have been hearing about on the news lately. Due to the popularity of this letter on the Internet, a national weekly news program recently devoted an entire show to the investigation of this program described below, to see if it really can make people money. The show also investigated whether or not the program was legal. Their findings proved once and for all that there are ''absolutely NO Laws prohibiting the participation in the program and if people can -follow the simple instructions, they are bound to make some mega bucks with only $25 out of pocket cost''. DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY & RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER. This is what one had to say: ''Thanks to this profitable opportunity. I was approached many times before but each time I passed on it. I am so glad finally joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment, I received total $610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money still coming in." Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey. =================================================== Here is another testimonial: "This program has been around for a long time but I never believed in it. But one day when I received this again in the mail I decided to gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple instructions and voila ..... 3 weeks later the money started to come in. First month I only made $240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8 months by re-entering the program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am playing it again. The key to success in this program is to follow the simple steps and NOT change anything.'' More testimonials later but first, ===== PRINT THIS NOW FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE ====== $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ If you would like to make at least $500,000 every 4 to 5 months easily and comfortably, please read the following...THEN READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED! INSTRUCTIONS: =====Order all 5 reports shown on the list below ===== For each report, send $5 CASH, THE NAME & NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING and YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS to the person whose name appears ON THAT LIST next to the report. MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON YOUR ENVELOPE TOP LEFT CORNER in case of any mail problems. === When you place your order, make sure you order each of the 5 reports. You will need all 5 reports so that you can save them on your computer and resell them. YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5=$25.00. Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each of the 5 reports from these 5 different individuals. Save them on your computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will order them from you. Also make a floppy of these reports and keep it on your desk in case something happens to your computer. IMPORTANT - DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed next to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way other than what is instructed below in steps '' 1 through 6 '' or you will loose out on a majority of your profits. Once you understand the way this works, you will also see how it does not work if you change it. Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter it, it will NOT work!!! People have tried to put their friends/relatives names on all five thinking they could get all the money. But it does not work this way. Believe us, we all have tried to be greedy and then nothing happened. So Do Not try to change anything other than what is instructed. Because if you do, it will not work for you. Remember, honesty reaps the reward!!! 1.... After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement and REMOVE the name & address of the person in REPORT # 5. This person has made it through the cycle and is no doubt counting their fortune. 2.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 4 down TO REPORT # 5. 3.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 3 down TO REPORT # 4. 4.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 2 down TO REPORT # 3. 5.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 1 down TO REPORT # 2. 6.... Insert YOUR name & address in the REPORT # 1 Position. PLEASE MAKE SURE you copy every name & address ACCURATELY! ========================================================== **** Take this entire letter, with the modified list of names, and save it on your computer. DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES. Save this on a disk as well just in case if you loose any data. To assist you with marketing your business on the internet, the 5 reports you purchase will provide you with invaluable marketing information which includes how to send bulk e-mails legally, where to find thousands of free classified ads and much more. There are 2 Primary methods to get this venture going: METHOD # 1: BY SENDING BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY ========================================================== Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we will assume You and those involved send out only 5,000 e-mails each. Let's also assume that the mailing receives only a 0.2% response (the response could be much better but lets just say it is only 0.2%. Also many people will send out hundreds of thousands of e-mails instead of only 5,000 each). Continuing with this example, you send out only 5,000 e-mails. With a 0.2% response, that is only 10 orders for report # 1. Those 10 people responded by sending out 5,000 e-mail each for a total of 50,000. Out of those 50,000 e-mails only 0.2% responded with orders. That's 100 people responded and ordered Report # 2. Those 100 people mail out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 500,000 e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is 1000 orders for Report # 3. Those 1000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 5 million e-mails sent out. The 0.2% response to that is 10,000 orders for Report # 4. Those 10,000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 50,000,000 (50 million) e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is 100,000 orders for Report # 5 THAT'S 100,000 ORDERS TIMES $5 EACH=$500,000.00 (half a million). Your total income in this example is: 1..... $50 + 2..... $500 + 3..... $5,000 + 4.... $50,000 + 5..... $500,000 ........ Grand Total=$555,550.00 NUMBERS DO NOT LIE. GET A PENCIL & PAPER AND FIGURE OUT THE WORST POSSIBLE RESPONSE AND NO MATTER HOW YOU CALCULATE IT, YOU WILL STILL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY! ========================================================= REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING ONLY 10 PEOPLE ORDERING OUT OF 5,000 YOU MAILED TO. Dare to think for a moment what would happen if everyone or half or even one 4th of those people mailed 100,000e-mails each or more? There are over 150 million people on the Internet worldwide and counting. Believe me, many people will do just that, and more! ========================================================= METHOD # 2 : BY PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET ======================================================= Advertising on the net is very very inexpensive and there are hundreds of FREE places to advertise. Placing a lot of free ads on the Internet will easily get a larger response. We strongly suggest you start with Method # 1 and add METHOD # 2 as you go along. For every $5 you receive, all you must do is e-mail them the Report they ordered. That's it. Always provide same day service on all orders. This will guarantee that the e-mail they send out, with your name and address on it, will be prompt because they can not advertise until they receive the report. =========== AVAILABLE REPORTS ==================== ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY. Notes: Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY) for each Report. Checks NOT accepted. Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least 2 sheets of paper. On one of those sheets of paper, Write the NUMBER & the NAME of the Report you are ordering, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and your name and postal address. PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR THESE REPORTS NOW : ==================================================== REPORT # 1: "The Insider's Guide to Advertising for Free on the Net" Order Report #1 from: M.R. 122 11th avenue Lachine, Quebec H8S-3G5 CANADA ___________________________________________________________ REPORT # 2: "The Insider's Guide to Sending Bulk e-mail on the Net" Order Report # 2 from: N.

If you did not, continue advertising or sending e-mails until you do. === Once you have received 100 or more orders for Report # 2, YOU CAN RELAX, because the system is already working for you, and the cash will continue to roll in! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: Every time your name is moved down on the list, you are placed in front of a Different report. You can KEEP TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering from you. IF YOU WANT TO GENERATE MORE INCOME SEND ANOTHER BATCH OF E-MAILS AND START THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN. There is NO LIMIT to the income you can generate from this business!!! ====================================================== FOLLOWING IS A NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM: You have just received information that can give you financial freedom for the rest of your life, with NO RISK and JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT. You can make more money in the next few weeks and months than you have ever imagined. Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do Not change it in any way. It works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to e-mail a copy of this exciting report after you have put your name and address in Report #1 and moved others to #2 ...........# 5 as instructed above. One of the people you send this to may send out 100,000 or more e-mails and your name will be on every one of them. Remember though, the more you send out the more potential customers you will reach. So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and opportunity to become financially independent. IT IS UP TO YOU NOW! ============ MORE TESTIMONIALS ================ "My name is Mitchell. My wife, Jody and I live in Chicago. I am an accountant with a major U.S. Corporation and I make pretty good money. When I received this program I grumbled to Jody about receiving ''junk mail.'' I made fun of the whole thing, spouting my knowledge of the population and percentages involved. I ''knew'' it wouldn't work. Jody totally ignored my supposed intelligence and a few days later she jumped in with both feet. I made merciless fun of her, and was ready to lay the old ''I told you so" on her when the thing didn't work. Well, the laugh was on me! Within 3 weeks she had received 50 responses. Within the next 45 days she had received a total of $147,200.00 ........... all cash! I was shocked. I have joined Jody in her "hobby." Mitchell Wolf, Chicago, Illinois ====================================================== "Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my mind to participate in this plan. But conservative that I am, I decided that the initial investment was so little that there was just no way that I wouldn't get enough orders to at least get my money back." "I was surprised when I found my medium sized post office box crammed with orders. I made $319,210.00 in the first 12 weeks. The nice thing about this deal is that it does not matter where people live. There simply isn't a better investment with a faster return and so big." Dan Sondstrom, Alberta, Canada ======================================================= ''I had received this program before. I deleted it, but later I wondered if I should have given it a try. Of course, I had no idea who to contact to get another copy, so I had to wait until I was e-mailed again by someone else.........11 months passed then it luckily came again...... I did not delete this one! I made more than $490,000 on my first try and all the money came within 22 weeks." Susan De Suza, New York, N.Y. ======================================================= ''It really is a great opportunity to make relatively easy money with little cost to you. I followed the simple instructions carefully and within 10 days the money started to come in. My first month I made $20,560.00 and by the end of third month my total cash count was $362,840.00. Life is beautiful, Thanx to the internet."

I know this one will be an easy one ...

I'm taking in first name and last name data into a MySQL db through a form. Users sometimes don't capitalize their first and last names when entering the data. Is there a function to clean this up for consistency? If so, what is the name of the function that performs this?

Thanks in advance,

The function that you want is called: ucfirst()

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ucfirst.php

To make sure that string are consistant you might want to convert all characters in the string to Lower case first then call this function. This will ensure that stuff like "JoHn sMITH" gets converted to "John Smith" consistantly.

I think ucfirst() only does the first character of the string...

ucwords() will do all the parts of the name.

The only shortcoming I've found is if people put in a middle initial and add a period to it, or put a nickname in quotes... ucwords() skips those.

Yep, ucwords.

But this is not a good idea! There are Names (like "Hans vom Bach" or somesuch) which do NOT have to be captialized. Actually, capitalizing the "vom" would be wrong. Although this was just a German example, I'd bet there are names in French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian as well which should not be capitalized. Hmm, how about English? Sometimes there are suffixes like "the 3rd", no? Would it be right to capitalize this?

Hi,

I'm trying to access variables coming in through a form. I have assigned them dynamic names on the form page (e.g., $username, where username can change).

Now how can I access these variables on the next page? I tried:

$($people["username"])

where username is a field and people is a MySQL record. This doesn't work though. Is this not possible? I'm essentially trying to make a page where someone can edit permissions for any number of users, and <input value="$username">. How else can I do this??

Thanks tons! -Casey

attached mail follows:

Casey,

You need to loop around on the next page to find the variables - they are all in HTTP_POST_VARS:-

while (list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { print "Key = ".$key." Value = ".$val."<br>"; }

I want to set up a script that sends a bunch of emails - pauses - and resumes until all messages are sent.

The way this will happen is that a person will create the newsletter, check it, and then press the "Send" button which will start the process of sending the mail in bunches. How do I get a script to run in the background? I am only familiar with processing script within an html page that is returned to a client. Will a script like this keep running even if a browser window is closed?

Also is there any examples of this kind of app?

Hi,

I had to solve very similar problem - solution was to store prepared e-mails in database and send them with an external program using cron to run it. I'm sending about 40,000 announces per day with my system with no problems.

Just do something like this with shell, logically

while read_line_from_email_address_list ; do cat your_text_file | mail -s "Your Subject" address_from_list; sleep 1; done;

and put it in the background. You only need the sleep for "safety" as some sendmail(1)'s/systems don't take kindly to queueing up 20,000 messages....

In your query. Or your PHP code. That's about all I can say. If you want to get a useful answer, provide some relevant facts.

Just wanted to ask the gurus on the list when they think that the ISAPI version of PHP for IIS/Windows will be stable enough for use in a production environment. I'm doing some rough tests with ISAPI about 3-4 times faster than CGI (which is comparable to native ASP!). Ball park figure that's all eg 6 months 12 months?

Only use hide(), show(), block(), etc. if you want an "ordinary" htmlpage to be shown. If you on the other hand want the values of form elements to change you should do something like this:

hey-

I want to select the oldest show from a database to display on my main page, since the oldest show is also the show happening closest to any current time(if that makes sense...). I included a timestamp field in my table of shows in anticipation of checking that to find out what was the oldest. however, I'm wondering how I should go about doing that exactly. my idea was the scan through just that column of timestamps, find the lowest one, and then make a selection from the db based on the timestamp. Can any give me some examples of code to scan through a column like i mentioned, or give me better ideas on how to do this??

thanks chris

I'm not exactly sure what you want here, but it seems like you could do a select where timestamp (<= or >= ) NOW() and then ORDER the result ASC or DESC according to your needs.

Frinstance, to get the first show on or after today you could select where timestamp is greater than or equal to NOW(), ORDER by timestamp and LIMIT 1 to get the earliest in the future. Which might be today! You can do some fancy formatting of the timestamp in Mysql, if that helps.

A urgent question does, the follow work on sun solaris. php + postgresql + expat + saboltron

attached mail follows:

Hi,

On my local test server (PHP4.0.1, FreeBSD, MySQL), when I get a general error (bad code) it reports "error <type> on <file/script> on line 1".

It allways says "line 1", even if it's line 4028.

I've had experience with this happening if there is a structure problem with { brackets } missing (on any server), but never for general syntax-kinda errors.

But on my "live" server (a couple of different ISPs), the error reports the correct line, as you would expect.

Since it's only on my test server, I assume it's a problem with the config file, or something like that, but don't know where to start.... any ideas?

Maybe I can switch on an errors function at the start of each script?

Hi,

I'm using PHP for a few weeks now, so you can imagine that I'm making a lot of typing errors...

Often I make a typing error in one of the variable names ($helo instead of $hello or worse still $Hello instead of $hello). Since PHP does not care about declaring variables before using them, it is very easy to overlook such small typing error in a large PHP script.

In the old days of ANSI C, there where things like LINT that would help you with these problems. Of course in ANSI C these things were easier, because of the fact that variables need to be declared before they could be used.

My questions: 1. can you configure PHP in such away that variables need to be declared? 2. are there source code checking tools that could help me locate problems like described above?

Thanks for your help

you can change your warning level to E_ALL to give you a warning when variables aren't defined, but it still does not NEED to be defined.

Hello,

I have a simple question. How do I monitor two or more sockets in PHP?

Someone told me about register_tick_function() for multi tasking but I played with it and nothing seems to come out of it.

I monitored the first opened socket using a while() loop containing a fgets() function.
