Hey all. Im trying to figure out how some people script with this
feature. xxx.php?op=xxx as a link.
To me it kinda remind me of the goto statement of basic programming.
Im not sure as to how it works, but I searched the mailing list, google
and the manual and came up dev/null. If there is something in the
manual or a link on the net, that you could point me to, that would be
great. Thanks

attached mail follows:

An example.
say my link it http://www.domain.com/view.php?option=A
If I have some code on view.php that says:
<?
print "$option";
?>
"A" will be printed to the page. The stuff after the "?" is a
variable, and it's value is whatever it equals.

Thanks to ReDucTor & Tyler Longren. Your examples, seem to make sense.

Like I said before: "See <http://php.net/include> for more info." There's
a wealth of useful info there (for example, note that if the included file
returns a value, that value can be captured into a variable, like
"$myvar=include($filelocation);"). If there's something in those docs that
you need clarification on, do post again.

Perhaps if you explained what differences you expected to get from these
two lines...? (Looks to me like you *want* to dump the template file right
at that point. What errors specifically is PHP reporting?)

See <http://php.net/foreach> and <http://php.net/preg-replace>.

I want to read the include file in, replace the variables with any data present and then send the included file to the browser between some header and footer templates. I want the template to be straight html which can be edited with a wysiwyg editor if required.

if I include the file as html I get errors as there are " and no valid syntax I my php block ie no ;

i'd like to just do

$formdata = (include($filelocation));

but this returns 1 and pts it in the variable, I need the html form in the variable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "CC Zona" <cczonanospam.invalid> To: <php-generallists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2001 1:35 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: replacing variables in file

I can't quite understand exactly what you want to do... Replace what varaibles with what data?

If you're saying you want to include HTML code with blanks in it, and have the PHP fill in the blanks with variables, that's easy...

file1.php: [html stuff] <B><?php echo $variable;?></B> [html stuff] .........

file2.php: <?php

[php code]

include("file1.php");

[php code]

Or-- If you're saying you want to store the contents of a file in a variable, then do this:

// get contents of a file into a string $filename = "/usr/local/something.txt"; $fd = fopen ($filename, "r"); $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($fd);

(taken from PHP manual entry for fread())

Also see file() -- that performs a similar function, reading the file into an array.

I know this is slightly OT and has been covered before, but I searched through the MARC and could not find the answers I was looking for. Can anyone suggest some reliable, reputable web hosts that support LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) and have a responsive, not-too-rude technical support staff? I'm not as concerned about the cost as I am these other factors (although I don't want to pay an arm and a leg) - I was thinking in the $20-$40 range (monthly). Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you all.

Richard,

This is not a PHP issue at all. You are aware of the MySQL mailing list aren't you? List-Subscribe: <mailto:mysql-subscribelists.mysql.com>

I'm not sure what you're getting at, but if you want to remove a user you can always use a DELETE statement on the user and db tables (and wherever else is necessary), then issue a FLUSH PRIVILEGES.

> On the db table it is easy > because I can do it were usr = $user and db = $db but in the usr table > every host name is localhost and the password is encrypted is there a > way to do somthing like were user =$username and password > =$password(encrypted). </snip>

If you have the unencrypted password you can. I think that's what your 'password=$password(encrypted)' meant after realizing it wasn't [hopefully] meant to be PHP or SQL. WHERE user = 'user_here' AND password = PASSWORD('password_here'). But why would you need to do that? Why not just WHERE user = 'user_here'? After all, if all the hosts are set to localhost there should only be one record per user in the user table.

Hopefully I've answered your questions. If not please post to the MySQL list instead of here as a courtesy to the rest of the list members and yourself (since it's the right tool for the job).

So I opened a file like this:

$filename ="text.txt"; $fh = fopen($filename, "r");

then I get the last line of the file like this:

while (!feof ($fh)) { $lastline = fgets($fh, 4096); }

now I want the last word of $lastline ... how do I do this? I've been trying all kinds of things but nothing seems to be what I need.

I would also like to be able to get the last X words of $lastline?

so if

$lastline = "I am a newbie"

I get: "am a newbie"

Help!

Hi,

here :

$arr = explode($lastline, " ");

that puts lastline into arr which is an array and you can use the sizeof operator to get the nth (or the last) element.

print $arr[sizeof($arr)];

I have a function that goes through and highlights specified text:

and it works great, except it also ends up hilighting text that falls within HTML tags, thus throwing off the display of the highlighted search results. How can I modify this to highlight the requested text appropriately, but skipping the HTML tags?

attached mail follows:

Is there any way that I can tell my PHP not to be cached?

I've got a page that produces a map, and there are zoom buttons on it. When a user clicks on a zoom button the page calls itself with a different zoom setting in the url. The page works fine, but sometimes the map is cached in the browser so the user sees the old zoom level. I can't change the users caching settings, so can I do it in PHP? (I know in ASP there is a response.expires command - is there something similar I can use?)

Thanks
