Main word here is 'should'. Because they do. Ever searched for
headers you can sent for forcing no caching. The one thing you
always find is things like 'they should use this header, but they
don't' or 'one proxy only looks at the headers, others only look at
the contents'. I know how proxies _should_ work, but it turn's out
that there are -to quote you- many "poor proxies". And I won't say
that mine isn't one of 'm. But hey... I'm a programmer, not a
system-administrator and stuff like the proxy isn't realy my thing.
I know how they should work and I know we have one. But I also know
(out of experience and theory) that proxies (just like browsers btw)
don't always stick to the standards.
And ehhh... I hardly use URL's including "?". You know... that's the
beauty of sessionhandling. You don't need those ugly URL's anymore.

But... besides proxies one also uses a browser for
Internet-applications. And eventhough you can disable caching and
history and stuff, those damn things _do_ remember things from the
past and they think it's realy convenient to use that. It's quicker
dude! Yeah, well: fuck it! I don't want it to be quicker... I want
it to be right.

You could not be more right!

Always use stuff like $HTTP_SERVER_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS, etc. It's the savest/best way!

Do you know how I would access that variable from PHP? Is that possible? I know how to configure apache to reject conections based on encryption settings, but instead of rejecting them, I would like to accept them but warn the user: "You should upgrade your browser". Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi,

Use getenv() since it is a CGI variable. Look at the manual.

Try using sessions. Put the values/variables from $HTTP_POST_VARS into the session and then U can use 'm again on b.php.

Or.. put the post vars into hidden textfields.. these do get posted to the next page..

If you run out of luck and have to deal with PHP3.. sessions doesn't seem to work very well on PHP3.. But this alternative also runs great on PHP4..

Hi!

I just came across this weird thing. Bug? You tell me!

print (int)((8.85-8)*100);

I would think the line above would print "85". But for some reason, it prints "84"?? Can anyone tell me why that is?

Hello Maxim,

Lets try this:

echo (int)((8.85-8)*100000);

IMHO, this is miscalculation because 8.85 is float so when we make type cast to int we got wrong result.

Using float doesn't solve the problem, does it? Point is that when using int, the damn thing doesn't get it straight. And that's WEIRD. I mean the result of (8.85-8)*100 is already an integer and not converting it to an integer the result is perfectly okay.

Btw: (int)((8.85*100)-(8*100)), _does_ return a correct result.

Btw.

floor((8.85-8)*100) == (int)((8.85-8)*100)

And if you gonna using integer numbers, it is always good idea to use one of rounding functions: round, ceil or floor. In this case round works as expected.

Maybe you've heard about dynamic pages and stuff...

Say:

$a = 8.85; $b = 8; $c = 100;

$result = (int)(($a-$b)*$c);

And you know... we need an integer. Let's say for inserting into a db or so. Then it doesn't help converting it to float, does it? I mean... ofcourse in the above example it returns the correct result, but let's just change it a bit:

$a = 8.8512; $b = 7.1237; $c = 100; $result_i = (int)(($a-$b)*$c); $result_f = (float)(($a-$b)*$c);

See the diff between $result_i and $result_f? And if you realy need an integer, $result_f isn't realy what you're looking for.

Hello,

I remember there was a warning in the PHP Manual about this. This is it:

** Never cast an unknown fraction to integer, as this can sometimes lead to unexpected results.

** echo (int) ( (0.1+0.7) * 10 ); // echoes 7!

So do your calculations first, and then echo the results. This way you get good habits in programming. And your code will be easier to read as well!

What you are looking for isn't a php function, but a module in apache called mod_rewrite..this is usually installed in most apaches, if not can be done easily.

so in the stie .htaccess (or indeed in the master conf) you would do something like

Another point is to remember that each page request may come from a different IP address.

For example, where I work in IBM, every out going connection goes from one of 30 or so boxes, each with their iwn IP, so in the process of browsing a site each request for a file can come from one of those IP's.

This is indeed not a php problem, but a browser feature. The browser forces a reload whenever you have a '?' in your code! (unless you use some proxy..).

Hello all,

I'm having a trouble. I'm programming an CMS for one pc company. So in example i'm doing a pc category catalog admin. They can add/delete/modify theese category's. But also they want one feature: they want to edit all category's in one form. So i made a form that displays all category's in <input type="text"> so they can edit, but the problem is that i dunno how many there will be category's and how to organize data passing to script. User submits form with all changes, and my script needs to get all theese category's with id's and changed names.

Ok how it looks in script:

Function display_all() { Print "<form action='category.php' method='post' name='editcat'> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME='admin_editall' VALUE='1'>"; $result=mysql_query("SELECT cat_id, cat_name, cat_show FROM cat GROUP BY cat_id ASC"); While ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $cat_id=$row["cat_id"]; $cat_name=$row["cat_name"]; $cat_show=$row["cat_show"]; Print "<tr class=tb1><td><input type='text' name='cat_id' size='2' maxlength='4' value='$cat_id' disabled></td>\n"; Print "<td><input type='text' name='cat_name$cat_id' size='50' maxlength='50' value='$cat_name'></td> <td><input type='checkbox' name='cat_status'"; if ($cat_show=="Y") {Print " checked";} Print "></td></tr>\n"; } }

// ^^^ this form post all data into same file <category.php> //and function add_all_db() must get all data.

The best way of doing this is to name the fields catid[] The [] means that they are inserted into an array in the order they appear on the page, so on the page with deals results you just have to cycle through the array.

As a side point, there is no way of telling what has been modified and what is not (well without comparing the variables to the db again).. so it is usually quicker just to update the whole.lot.

This is because you currently only have one field on your form named arraystuff. The browser only creates an array of elements if there is more than one of them. arraystuff.focus(), would work at present.

Yes, I find I have to do this a lot if I have multiple rows in a form and I want to do anything with javascript. I use commands like this: document.formname["the_checkbox[9]"].checked = true and if you needed to stick a variable in the index:

theform["the_checkbox["+the_index+"]"].checked = true;

So on yours I think it would be like this: document.formname["arraystuff["+inputfield+"]"].focus or <body onload = 'document.formname["arraystuff["+inputfield+"]"].focus'>

I am new to PHP (but familiar with ASP,JSP) and would like to have some guidance notes from you. I am using windows 98 OS on my PC with PWS installed on it. I want to install PHP that runs on windows using PWS. For this I have done the following: 1. Downloaded php for windows from www.php.net , its is of about 738 bytes. 2. I extracted the same in c:\php folder. 3. shifted the php.ini in c:\windows folder.

My queries are: 1. In which folder I have to place my php files? whether in c: \inetpub\wwwroot folder where other asp files I put. Because, when I put test.php file in c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder and called by using http://localhost/test.php , It showed a blank white sheet that is without interpreting php. 2. Whether I have omitted any step for installation?

Pl. clarify.

If you used the installation wizard and told it you were using PWS, then you have not missed any steps.

If you do a 'view source' on your blank page, do you see the php source code?

If you cd to c:\php and type php.exe -i at the command line do you get a load of html on screen?

Hi,

The best way would be to create a dir inside inetpub\wwwroot\ and give this directory execute permission in PWS.

It should start working then. If it doesnt check ur php.ini for settings.

best of luck, Karthik.

You have to create a mapping between the PHP file extension and the PHP interpreter

I don't know how to do that in PWS, sorry

Good luck, Arjen

For future reference using explode and counting the words is not the correct way to do this. Your array could be huge, and if you have multiple requests to the page this would be a horrible idea. I believe the correct way to do this is to use MySQL inherent function SUBSTRING_INDEX(str,delim,count) So for example:

SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(column_name, ' ', 20) FROM table_name

would return the first 20 words. The php way is over-doing it. If you can perform the logic in your mysql query, you should.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From MySQL manual: http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/t/String_functions.html

SUBSTRING_INDEX(str,delim,count) Returns the substring from string str before count occurrences of the delimiter delim. If count is positive, everything to the left of the final delimiter (counting from the left) is returned. If count is negative, everything to the right of the final delimiter (counting from the right) is returned: mysql> select SUBSTRING_INDEX('www.mysql.com', '.', 2); -> 'www.mysql' mysql> select SUBSTRING_INDEX('www.mysql.com', '.', -2); -> 'mysql.com'

This function is multi-byte safe. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I think I saw a code to list the files, subdirectories and the files in the subdirectories of a simple directory in this list some time ago, but I didn't save it. Considering the quantitie of messages in this list, It's quite dificult to find this specific code, so ask the person who did it or someone else to write this code again.

I'm using this one:

$publico = ftp_nlist ($servidor, "public_html/publico"); $cont = 0; while ($publico[$cont]){ print "$publico[$cont]<br>"; $cont++;}

This code doesn't show the files in the subdirectories and it requires ftp connection. Not very efficient.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Jouri,

I don't agree with this one. I tested it out on my localhost and got the two error messages I told you I was going to get:

Warning: Unknown MySQL Server Host... Warning: MySQL Connection Failed...

No usernames/passwords. I have to say however that I always include my connect.php file. Maybe that's a secure way to connect without anyone seeing your password in case of sqlserver problems.

hi,

there are 2 ways.

1. you hardcore the user/password in the php.ini file. 2. u do a simply error checking like :

<?php $connect = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass); if(!$connect) { print "connection failed"; }

of course you could also do like kinda header("Location: http://host"); instead of print "connection failed".

i hope i could help you.

hi,

there are 2 ways.

1. you hardcore the user/password in the php.ini file. 2. u do a simply error checking like :

<?php $connect = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass); if(!$connect) { print "connection failed"; }

of course you could also do like kinda header("Location: http://host"); instead of print "connection failed".

i hope i could help you.

You're asking the session to remember a value ( session_register() ), then changing that value ( $count++ ) and not re-registering it, then complaining when the session returns the value you asked it to remember.

What if you did:

<?php session_start(); $count++; session_register ("count"); ?>

There was a bug in PHP in versions prior to 4.0.6: $count and $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["count"] did not reference the same value while on the *current* page. Try this:

<?php session_start(); $count++; session_register ("count"); ?> Hello visitor, you have seen this page <?php echo $count; ?> times.

What it looks like it is doing to me, if you hit the script and reload it a bunch, is it creates a session, sticks with it for a while, then dumps it .. it then creates another session, starts over at 1, and begins counting up.. then sometimes it will see the old session, and go back to it ..

Like, this will happen:

You've seen this page 1 times (not gonna repeat the text) 2 3 4 5 1 // lost 1st session here 2 6 // regain 1st session 3 // switch 7 8 9 4 // switch

no matter how many times I reload that page, it seems to generate a max of 2 sessions. wtf is going on?

Sorry, I'm stuck. I did a cut and paste of the code I sent and it works perfectly:

Hello visitor, you have seen this page 100 times.

I am using IE 5.5. There have been similar reports of session weirdness from time to time when using Netscape 4.x. It is hard to see how the browser could be doing this, but maybe there is a sporadic bug in its cookie handling.

Try changing browsers and see if you still see the problem. I really don't have any suggestions for fixing it, tho. Sorry.

It works pretty much as you described. :)

Make a script like that and run phpinfo() from it and you'll see all the variations on $PHP_SELF and $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[] that allow you to retrieve the extra parameters from the URL.

Note that if your page displays images, you'll need to include a <base href="..."> tag to stop the browser from getting confused.

I use this all over the place and it works great.

There's also a variant with the Apache ForceType directive that allows you to just do stuff like www.mysite.com/myscript/foo/bar/123 where 'myscript' is really a php file. It's well-discussed in the archives and at phpbuilder.

Hi folks

Something I find confusing about using UCD-SNMP with PHP 4.0.6 is that I can't pass something such as:

enterprises.cisco.workgroup.ciscoStackMIB.portGrp.portTable.portEntry.portName

to snmpwalkoid - it sits around, then complains that this is an invalid object identifier.

Is it possible to get PHP to translate "textual" OIDs in to numeric OIDs, and vice versa? Automatically?

If you are using MySQL use the function:

Except that would return the first 100 characters and not the first 100 words as requested.

To do this you would need to find the 100th space in the string and use everything before that. I would probably explode the string and loop through the first one hundred elements to reconstruct the string with the first one hundred words.

Hi.

Does anybody know of any issues in PHP 4.0B2 regarding to the handling of session variables on different networks?

Here is the problem. I have written a user authentication system using session variables. When the user logs in their name and pass are stored as an associative array (with other details from a database). If the details are invalid the user is booted back to the logon screen. The system worked fine for everyone except myself and one other person who was on the same network (optushome network).

The problem was that although the username and password were sent and stored into the session variables, upon accessing another page the session variables were not carried forward (although the session id was) and so I was thrown back to the login. As I said, this was only true for users on the optushome network. Fpr anyone else it seemed to be fine.

Identical code on a server running PGP 4.0.4pl1 worked universally. I have been tearing my remaining hair out for days on this one now. Does anyone have any suggestions (except for 'Upgrade PHP on the 4.0B2 server' or 'move to a different server'. That, unfortunately is beyond my control :( )

Cheers

That little "B2" in the version number almost guarantees that there will be problems of some sort.

I suspect that's about all you can do. You can search the bug database at php.net to see if there is a specific problem and if there are any work-arounds.

Alternatively, fix your HTML by using quotes and a value attribute:

Then:

if ($voorraad=='something') { // checked }

Uh, no.

When you submit the form, $voorraad will either be "something" or "", depending on whether it was checked or not.

The obvious way to answer this question would be to look it up in the database at bugs.php.net. Any idea whether it's actually gotten entered there? (I tried searching for '3rd', 'third', and 'three' -- 'include' just got way more results than I was interested in sifting through -- and didn't see anything that appeared to match what you're describing...

I don't see anything in the annotations for include() about losing variable definitions...the notes that I see that look remotely relevant are those regarding what PHP considers to be the "current directory" when doing nested includes, which would cause problems in locating the include files themselves, not in losing their contents.

If that's what you're referring to, see bug#11362 - per Zeev, the current CVS (as well as PHP 4.0.7 when it's released), has changed to a behavior that should be more likely to do WhatTheScriptProgrammerMeant in most cases.

You're right. It is not discuessed there. My memory served me incorrectly.

In index.php (the file loaded by php), 'echo( $HTTP_POST_VARS["last_name"] );' will print the variable contents, but in save_script.php (the 3rd file included) the same function call will print nothing.

Am I mis understanding something?

Are you quite sure there's not something else going on here? (An issue of the $HTTP_POST_VARS array being out-of-scope inside a function, for example?) I'm sure I would have run into this behavior by now if it were a system bug.

For whatever it's worth, I just did a test, with includes nested ten deep, and $HTTP_POST_VARS kept its value at every level. (PHP 4.0.6, Apache 1.3.20, FreeBSD 4-Stable)

Yes it would. (Specifically, it would mean that everything in that file operates at the same scope as the function in which it's included. That, in turn, means that $HTTP_POST_VARS is likely only available if it's been declared as global within that function.

For reference, in case anyone cares-- from within functions, I usually just do:

global $HTTP_POST_VARS; extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);

...to account for the scope of the form vars.

Don't try to find such a difficult solution. Even HTML can solve this for you! Just put the image tag in your code and specify only the width (or only the height). The browser wil automatically resize the image so it displays proportionally.

I know it is not a W3 recommendation to emit either the height or width tag. But this way you can solve your problem easily without putting any extra load on the server. Better still - the image will already be in the client's cache and will load faster in the next page!

Hi,

I'm having a problem using require with a url. What I'm trying to do is have a php script on a server that calls a file on another server using require. The file that is called on the other server contains php functions that the calling php script uses.

I my attempts so far I get: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: login() in /usr/home/nigels/public_html/survey01/survey.php on line 51

survey.php is the script that has the require line: require("http://host.server.com/functions.php");

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Nigel

What's on line 51? The error is on line 51 in survey.php. require()

Tyler Longren Captain Jack Communications tylercaptainjack.com www.captainjack.com

isn't on line 51. The error occurs because there's no login() function.

Line 51 has a call to login(). The login() function is in functions.php which lives on a different server. I try to use functions.php by putting the require statement in survey.php. This works when they both live on the same server but when I try using require with the url to a remote server it fails.

Cheers,

Nigel

Is that file living on a HTTP server which PARSES the function? Eg do you get the source code when directly requesting it from a browser or an empty page (or whatever)

Yeah the file is on a HTTP server. I don't exactly get the source code showing though as it is enclosed in php tags and the HTTP server is running php.

Thanks,

Hey Renze,

Don't you think that checking too much is useless and takes a bite out of your performance too? Don't waste your time.

Hi to all, I need to create web pages containing images which should be updated periodically, but the image contents may vary as data coming from a database varies.

What is that?, well the image will contain dynamic objects and static objects. The dynamic objects can be text (representing database data) and lines, where you can change attributes like color, position, etc. The static objects can be filled ellipses, circles, lines, static text.

The image format can be a jpeg, gif or another type supported on html.

Does somebody know some Library with functions for create such above images? Does somebody know some links to find something?

I will apprecciate your attention to this. When you come to Mexico and Guadalajara City I will pay your help inviting you a bunch of Mexican Tacos.
