$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REDIRECT_STATUS"] will be "404" (or "403" if you trap
those too).

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REDIRECT_URL"] will be the requested URL that caused

Thanks for the advice Tim, however it didn't work. Neither of the statements
in your mail were set ... I trued $REDIRECT_STATUS and that was set to 401
(even tho that doc wasn't capturing that error) and $REDIRECT_URL was set to
the path of the file handling the errors.

Is there some other apache config I need to make?
The .htaccess line I have doing the redirect is
ErrorDocument 404 path/to/file

Thanks a million for any help, Tom

attached mail follows:

Ah, yes. You are correct about the $REDIRECT_URL thing. I was looking
at some old code I had to deal with this and mis-read it. :)

I use ErrorDoument just as you describe.

I just tried this, and on my system $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REQUEST_URI"]
contains the URI that generated the error.

If your 404 page just dumps phpinfo() you can see the list of variables
available to your script.

Neither we know,
we wrote Jinnie, an Open Source version of it will be out on jinnie.org in
couple of month or so.

Sorry, I know it wasn't any helpful.
The reason there are not much of this software is because there's no
standard for Magazines. Very hard to write something that would satisfy
every request.

Why is that not working:

class XML {

function XML() { $this->parser = xml_parser_create(); xml_set_object($this->parser,&$this); xml_set_element_handler($this->parser,"tag_open","tag_close"); }

function tag_open($parser,$name,$attrs) { if ($name == "DummyElement") { $this->Dummy = $attrs['DummyAttribute']; } }

function tag_close($parser,$name) {} }

$main = new XML(); $main->parseFile(dummy.xml); $main->getDummy();

$Dummy is correctly set, but cannot be accessed via the method 'getDummy()' :-(

does any one know where i can get a script that will convert a birthdate in to an age. i have one half written however i have incounter difficulties with dealing with leap years. perhaps soem one would know the solution . .. or just a premade script is fine

Here's something I use for a date string that looks like mm/dd/yyyy to turn the date into an age from the current date.

$age = explode("/", $bdate); $userage = date("Y") - $age[2]; if($age[0] > date("m") || ( $age[0] = date("m") && $age[1] > date ("d"))) { --$userage; } if($userage > 50) { $userage = ""; }

I did not compensate for leap years, however. You could use my code, and it should work fine, but the first line where I do an explode, you'd have to change that to turn your date string into #'s like I use..

I've been using this one, which is probably close enough for government work ;) It calculates to a one-month resolution.

// Calculates elapsed years between fdate and tdate. // The default for "to date" is today. function elapsed_years($fdate, $tdate=0) { if ($tdate == 0) { $tdate = time(); }

$fa = getdate($fdate); $ta = getdate($tdate);

// convert dates to number of months since 1900: $fm = $fa["mon"] + (($fa["year"] - 1900) * 12); $tm = $ta["mon"] + (($ta["year"] - 1900) * 12);

$em = $tm - $fm;

return intval($em/12); }

This is one of those problems that sounds easy ... until you get into it. It is leap years that make it messy. Try this ... it worked on all the dates I threw at it, and has options for whether you want just the year or a fraction, and the fraction can be decimal or days:

Hello ! We could keep things simpler ... Why not give a try to this ?:

$watchlist_query = mysql_query( "Create Table $temp ( WId int Not Nullauto_increment, QId int not null, Primary Key (WId) )" ) or die ("Error ! Cannot create table !" . mysql_error() );

Hope it would work :o)

(At least the "mysql_error()" would show you the error code )

I haven't tested them, so no recommendations for you..:-(

Hi all,

I am curious about how to best define the size of fields in mysql. Is there some size that are better used than others?

For example without thinking about it to much I would tend to size fields in multiples of 10 - 20, 50, 100, 200 etc... Is this the best answer?

I am looping through a few thousand records and would like to display the results every loop. Eg:

while($row = mysql_fetch_object($sql)): echo "Hi $row->name<br>"; flush(); endwhile;

A simple example - but you see what I am trying to achieve. Perhaps a more realistic example is displaying the results of a mail program as it fires off mail to hundreds of members in a database.

Will this slow down the execution of the script at all - or much?

Here is an example of my code:

$text = "Hi ##firstname## ##lastname##,"; $text = ereg_replace("##([^#]+)##", $row->."\\1", $text);

$row-> is a result of using mysql_fetch_object. I would expect it to replace ##firstname## and ##lastname## with the value of $row->firstname and $row->lastname respectively... but nothing happens. I presume it is a variable problem...

Can anyone help with this code?

Matthew

attached mail follows:

Hi,

you'd better use preg_replace_callback() instead of ereg_replace in such case. function func($arr) { global $row; return $row->{$arr[1]}; } /* or something similiar, not tested btw */

$text = "Hi ##firstname## ##lastname##,"; $text = preg_replace_callback("/##(.+?)##/", 'replace_func', $text);

I am trying to pull a txt file into this purser so that it will add the data to the variables. Now the code below works if I just add an echo $message inside the while loop.

Hi,

I know this is a biggie, but has anyone attempted to write a spell check (preferably english) in PHP?

I'd LOVE something that can spell-check user-submitted text somehow, becuase I'm writing a fully dynamic news-based site, and the only downfall to the site could be bad content, since it's being supplied by writers world-wide, submitted dynamically.

My other option is to have an editor approve each article before publishing, but I thought i'd at least ASK if nyone's attempted it.

You can configure support for aspell at compile time. From configure --help

--with-aspell[=DIR] Include ASPELL support.

And the functions available:

http://au2.php.net/manual/en/ref.aspell.php

Maybe something there will do what you want.

Justin:

IMHO it would be very difficult to build/use a reliable spell checker that worked automatically. Natural languages are just too complex and ambiguous. Look at how often something like Word or Star Office gets things wrong. 'Hare' is not spelled wrong unless you meant to write 'hair', for example. And spell checkers can't deal with scrambled syntax, etc.

Go for a human editor if you want something approaching 100% reliability.

It usually means the execution of the script aborted in a way that Apache wasn't expecting - I'd say something has gone seriously wrong in the script, you might want to add a few debugging statements and see from there where a problem may lie.

Is it possible to have a form submit button call a function. Like for updating a record in a database or for deleting data. Rather than a new page or with PHP_SELF

Best regards, Richard mailto:rkurthpacifier.com

attached mail follows:

AFAIK the function would always need to exist inside a php file. That file doesn't necessarily need to be a `page' (ie. print any HTML). Just make the ACTION of the form point to the file with your function in it (or a call to the function).
