No! This won't work. There are two ways in which you can get an overridden
method to call the method in its super-class, these are by using the
following constructs:

1) parent::
2) <classname>::

So, you could do the following:

1)
class B extends A {
    function something() {
        // some other actions
        parent::something(); // calls A::something
    }
}

2)
class B extends A {
    function something() {
        // some other actions
        A::something(); // calls A::something
    }
}

I've experienced PHP getting confused when using the parent:: construct. If
you have an object that is 3 levels deep in sub-classing and each sub-class
overrides the same method then the parent:: construct in the level 2 object
sometimes calls the level objects method - ad infinitum. This seems to be a
bug with the parent:: construct.

i.e.

class A{
        function foo(){
                print "A";
                }
class B extends A{
        function foo(){
                parent::foo();
                print "B";
                }
class C extends B{
        function foo(){
                parent::foo();
                print "C";
                }

$bar=new C();
$bar->foo();

// Output would be:
CBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB..............

because parent::foo() in class B incorrectly resolves to B::foo().

So, I normally use the explicit class name construct, giving:

class A{
        function foo(){
                print "A";
                }
class B extends A{
        function foo(){
                A::foo();
                print "B";
                }
class C extends B{
        function foo(){
                B::foo();
                print "C";
                }

$bar=new C();
$bar->foo();

// Output would be:
CBA

Hope this helps.

I've used this code for calling base class constructors. These ofcourse have
different names, while your functions are both called the same. I don't
think
that should make any difference, though.

Check this, but didn't the latest stable release of MySQL add search capabilities to text fields, as in indexing key words? How is your database structured? What do you use for keys? A simple form may be all you need.

Some clarification is needed: do you want all entries for a given month of ANY year, or of a specific year?

If the first, I would use SELECT * FROM table WHERE MONTH(datefield) = mm (See the MySQL documentation, section 7.4.11)

Or, for the second SELECT * FROM table WHERE datefield BETWEEN 'yyyy-mm-01' AND 'yyyy-mm-31'

... how's that?

I have been thinking about a thing. If I have a PHP script (a) which receives some data by a POST method only -- GET method is track to not be accepted --, and if I have another PHP script (b) that takes initial input from the user's browser... Well, the question is: how can I, in the script "b", take the input data and post it to script "a" and receive its response, following by processing it and giving back the response to the browser? The user wouldn't see the action of script "a" in any way. To the user, only script "b" would exist. I think I can do this by using Delphi, but in PHP this task seens to be a nightmare.

browser ==input==> b ==post==> a... ...a ==response==> b ==response==> browser

Is this possible with PHP 3 or later?

I've never used method virtual but it seems to fit Your problem. Explanation below.

Krzysztof Kocjan

virtual

(PHP 3, PHP 4 >= 4.0b1)

virtual -- Perform an Apache sub-request

Description

int virtual (string filename)

virtual() is an Apache-specific function which is equivalent to  in mod_include. It performs an Apache sub-request. It is useful for including CGI scripts or .shtml files, or anything else that you would parse through Apache. Note that for a CGI script, the script must generate valid CGI headers. At the minimum that means it must generate a Content-type header. For PHP files, you need to use include() or require(); virtual() cannot be used to include a document which is itself a PHP file.

Try removing the last period(.) after $quote.

Also, try this method:

$nl = "\r\n";

$message = $alias$nl$name$email$...so on and so forth.

Come to think of it, I think PHP has a constant for "\r\". I think its NL or something like that, I can't remember. Look in the manual pages for some clues...hopefully, someone on here remember it.

I hope that helped.

You could also perhaps try this.

$message = " $alias $name $email $site $cam $quote ";

Might not work in all cases though but it's certainly easier to read.

It all very much depends on personal preference.

After the $quote, you've got a . - remove this, and it might work.

Hi, small problem :

phpinfo() shows all kinds of useful variables like PHP_SELF, PATH_INFO, etc etc.... but I can't see them from my script.

I get a error - "Warning: Undefined variable: PATH_INFO in [scriptname] on line 13"

Is there any situation where such variables would be available to phpinfo(), but not the rest of the script?

Setup is Win2K, Apache, PHP 4.06

Any thoughts?

You can't see $PHP_SELF within a function until you declare it global.

This language really frustrates me sometimes...

<Reply>

It's not so frustrating if you configure it correct. If you set register_globals, you can just use 'm everywhere. It's not something you should do, though. You can better use $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[]. It's (some) safer. For those you don't need to turn on the register_globals. Just turning on track_vars will do then. And from PHP 4.0.3 you don't even need to do that.

<Quote from PHP manual> PHP variables

These variables are created by PHP itself. The $HTTP_*_VARS variables are available only if the track_vars configuration is turned on. When enabled, the variables are always set, even if they are empty arrays. This prevents a malicious user from spoofing these variables.

Note: As of PHP 4.0.3, track_vars is always turned on, regardless of the configuration file setting.

If the register_globals directive is set, then these variables will also be made available in the global scope of the script; i.e., separate from the $HTTP_*_VARS arrays. This feature should be used with care, and turned off if possible; while the $HTTP_*_VARS variables are safe, the bare global equivalents can be overwritten by user input, with possibly malicious intent. If you cannot turn off register_globals, you must take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the data you are using is safe. </Quote from PHP manual>

global variables have to be declared in functions. It's a basic fact, and should've been learned before even attempting a line of code...

The tone of your message is well-deserved... I switched to "help me" mode long before I should have because I was under pressure of time.

>global variables have to be declared in functions. It's a basic fact, and >should've been learned before even attempting a line of code...

In fact, the function in question /already/ had a bunch of my own variables declared global in it... I thoughtlessly jumped to the conclusion that the install was at fault because i have reason not to trust it.

My other point still stands though (I think) - that marking a variable as "global" to "pull it in to scope" is a clunky, ass-backwards way of doing things.

Which is why, of course, that parameters were invented "way back when".

Yes, where $PATH_INFO is called from within a function without being declared as global first. See the manual's chapter on variable scope.

Man, this is a real value!

I was in a trouble thinking how to publish data coming from the administration area. Thinking in programming visual basic interfaces, generate SQL inserts, etc. But now you can simply publish it and thats all! Browsing with google, I found this well written article from Tim Uckun "ODBC Socket Server" http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/timuckun20001207.php3?print_mode=1

Dos cositas:

1. This works for any ODBC filter installed on the windows server? So, we can browse and update excel, text, SQL Server, etc, without having to compile native support in the php?

2. The page at http://odbc.linuxave.net/, stated as the source for the ODBCSocketServer server, is not on-line now. Does anybody knoes if this will be fixed soon? Is there another source for the ODBCSocketServer server?

PHP should be quite capable of handling this, but you will end up creating a lot of the business logic from scratch. If your company already uses integrated management software like SAP, it may have EDI capabilities built in.

Hi,

You can also try to use Java (the list is going to run over me with this comment). Xerces parser is quite good and amazinly fast, and opensource. We are validating XML document of 3Mb with it, and it is done in three seconds (creating a DOM object). It is just another idea if you haven't look at it.

Also you can keep the logic more organized with the object structure.

Hotmail was hot because nobody had ever seen free webmail and it spread by word of mouth. I don't know but did anyone see a hotmail commerical???

What I am saying is that if php is always following or copying the technology that happened a couple years ago then what's the point? php will then always be known as the low cost option and project managers won't even give it a second look. What I am looking for is the cool factor. I know technology needs time to improve but what's going to be cool in PHP5??? It's like a race that never finishes and who is winning? ASP or PHP?

Uh? The first version of PHP was released over a year before the first version of ASP. Heck, there were even M$ developers on the first PHP mailing list that at one point sent out a survey asking the PHP community what they wanted to see in an HTML-embedded scripting language.

But sure, PHP will always be the "low cost option". No real way around that being an open source project, and frankly that is a big feature and certainly not a liability.

PHP5 will still run on your Free OS, your CLI OS, your Pay OS, your GUI OS, etc. ASP (of the VBSchidtz flavor) will only run on your Illegal Monopoly OS. It's so cool it burns! Flexibility, portability, and cost-effectiveness ... you won't get burned.

Well, whats your contribution? I mean, ideas. Like what would you like PHP to have in the version 5?

I am in some other free projects, and I can tell you that there is so much to do, that the developers don't have time to finish them, so you'll see in the TODO lists things like: "Didn't have time to finish it. Maybe in the next version."

But let me say one last things, the developers also need some ideas, like what you want, and if ASP has something interesting that PHP doesn't then you have to go for it!

At least that's my thinking

Or, mysqlimport is not in the path - try using the complete path and see if that solves it.

Hello everyone... I have been working on this random function for awhile now.. and it is close to being complete. It works as for a random function. But what my goal was is to make it where it goes through all the images before showing a random twice. Kind of like you put all the images in a bucket, and random select one out of the bucket while you eyes are closed, once you take it out of the bucket you put it on the table till there is no images left in the bucket, then you fill the bucket again and start over.

Now... I thought the following function did that, but for some reason it is not... I might have just missed a line of code, or misspelled something, but I come to you guys/gals to be more second pair of fresh eyes to see if you can find where I made a mistake.

Thanks..

Nope. You are just (inefficiently) choosing one item at random.

An equivalent-but-faster approach would be SELECT * FROM user WHERE valid=1 AND inrotation=1 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1

If you really need random-order, once-per-cycle images, you could achieve it by adding a 'views' field to the table; initialize all entries to the same value (ie 0). Each time an image is displayed, increment the views; when you choose an image, choose from the pool where the views value is minimal, ie.

SELECT id,imgname FROM user WHERE valid=1 AND inrotation=1 AND views=MIN(views) ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1

UPDATE user SET views=views+1 WHERE id=$id

How's that?

You know what.. that might just work the way I need it to... will try it out tonight, thanks!!! :)

Hello Everybody,

I have a software writen in Delphi which I am migrating to Kylix but I would like to do it in PHP instead.

What the software does is to access an e-mail address and retrieve the messages saving the files ending with .zip to a local directory. After that, it decompresses the ZIP files and read their txt contents and import the contents to a MySQL database. Each ZIP file has a TXT file.

So what I need to know and the help I am asking you for is :

1) How to retrieve messages from a POP3 mailbox and save only the ZIP files attachments?

2) How to decompress the ZIP files?

Thank you,

Carlos Fernando.

> 1) How to retrieve messages from a POP3 mailbox and save only > the ZIP files attachments?

A couple of ways.

1. Use the imap (it does pop3 too) extension to connect to the mail server, parse the mails and extract the zip files.

2. Use mime decoding php scripts. There's one I've just committed to PEAR, which you can get by going to cvs.php.net --> php4 --> pear --> mail --> mimeDecode.php. It's beta quality at the moment, but should get better. Also, this is just a class/object, so it will require incorporating into your own scripts.

> 2) How to decompress the ZIP files?

If you're on unix, exec('unzip ...'). Or if windows, you can use the cmd line version of winzip.

Honestly, that seems like one damn big file to me. Are you using all those functions in every single file? If not, you're loading and (re)compiling a hell of a lot of code on every page request. If you're done developing, it may be time to split that up into more logical files (all db functions in one, all functions relating to page X in another, etc.)

I have made a detetor of relevance in found results in form of colored ine od length depended on relevance. I did it this way:

In query I inserted match (...,...,...) against ('%$var%') as relevance in while loop I inserted $relevance = $row["relevance"]; $rel = round($relevance); print "<img src=\"images/rel.gif\" border=\"0\" height=\"7\" width=\"$rel"."0"."\" alt=\"relevance\">\n";

Hi,

I asked recently to help with the selection for FULLTEXT search and now with your help I found how to do that but I still have problem with advansed search.

This is what I have right now:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT skits.*,category.* from skits,category where (skits.title like '%$title_search%' && skits.descr like '%$descr_search%' && skits.skits like '%$act_search%' && skits.lang like '%$lang_search%' && category.kat_name like '%$category_search%') and (skits.category like category.cat_id) ORDER by skits.category limit $limit,10");

It sorts results by category, I want them to be sorted by relevance and there are three columns in my table are in FULLTEXT index - skits.title, skits.descr,skits.skits so I do this -

if ($title_search != "" && $descr_search= "" && $act_search = ""): $relev = $title_search; elseif ():// this is for every condition, just do not want to type it all. $... endifl

$result = mysql_query("SELECT skits.*,category.*,match (skits.title,skits.descr,skits.skits) against ('$relev') as from skits,category where (skits.title like '%$title_search%' && skits.descr like '%$descr_search%' && skits.skits like '%$act_search%' && skits.lang like '%$lang_search%' && category.kat_name like '%$category_search%') and (skits.category like category.cat_id) ORDER by relevance desc limit $limit,10");

But the proble is that this either don't find any results or select all records. What to do to make advenced search sorted by relevance?

session_encode() returns a string for you to use in a PHP script. It doesn't encode or encrypt the session data on the server. If you need to encode or encrypt the data on the server, you have to create an encoding or encrypting scheme within your PHP scripts.

I too am curious about a recommended or best practice. I create a function file that contains numerous functions for generating forms that are used more than once in a site and it becomes large when the forms are complex. But the alternative is to bloat the individual files by including the function code on each page that uses it. Or, if you split the one, large file into some number of smaller files, it increases the administrative burden of knowing what is in each smaller file and requiring the correct sub-file in the right context rather than routinely requiring the one catch-all file every time one or more function is needed.

what you want todo is split them up by purpose so you can include as needed

also check the differences on include (include_once) versus require (require_once)

in general you simply call ->release() on the component. if you call release() as often as addref() (note that addref() is called implicitly on instanciation) the component should be closed by windows. windows 2k can also pool instances of components (i don't know if this is the case for dcom), so if you release an instance windows will still keep it alive and assign it to the next process that requests it.

in php references are counted internally and each php-thread calls the components addref() only once, regardless how often you call $obj->addref(); so all references will be released when the script terminates (this should prevent user errors) so a component gets closed when the script shuts down (beside the underlying instance pooling) so you don't need to close the connection by hand.

if you have to close components in a specified order or if script execution takes very long you can simply call

$obj->release(); $obj = null; // note that $obj = null; alone wouldn't close the connection immediately, because the garbage collector // runs very seldom. most of the time $obj would get released on script shutdown.

harald.

help!!!

I'm recursivley reading and editing every .htm and .html file in a 1000 page website and upgrading it to contain linked CSS, Javascript includes and PHP includes. the script works fine and all, trouble is that PHP doesn't.

Sometimes the script will run fine, other times PHP will decide to read the same file 10-20 times and then do the same recursivly, other times it'll say it's in one directory, and be reading files from another.

i'm running PHP verson 4.0.4pl1 off a 2000 server and IIS

Why not just configure your server to use an auto_prepend_file ?

Reading the manual every now and then wouldn't hurt... really, it wouldn't :).

<snip> auto_prepend_file string Specifies the name of a file that is automatically parsed before the main file. The file is included as if it was called with the include() function, so include_path is used.

The special value none disables auto-prepending. </snip>

okay, sorry, had a blonde moment!!!

it's more than just having a prepend and appending file onto it, i'm changing existing CSS into linked ones, existing Javascripts into includes, and taking the whole thing out of frames by using PHP includes in a table. each page needs to be edited and have certain bits taken out and changed. i've done this with regular expressions and it solves the problem, but PHP seems to have problems recursivley.

without warning and completely randomly, PHP will read the same file or directory [x] amount of times... it's really annoying because after reading 8000 files in a 1000 file site, the script times out...

Hi all,

I am filling out a form <text area>, and submitting it to the next page which just prints what I submitted, but it doesnt print any returns, i used when i filled out the previous <text area>

I found on php.net there is a ereg_replace funtion and a trim function but I am unsure if either one will work and im not sure how to use them.

Thanks, nate

Try using nl2br() in the output script (page).

Hi all, Trying PHP for the first time. Snached the authentication code from the docs and put it in phpauth.php. When I surf to it, it just asks for my user and password again and again If I hit Cancel, it prints the little message just fine. Here's the code in case I'm the only one to RTFM:

------- Example 17-1. HTTP Authentication example

<?php if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) { header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"My Realm\""); header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"); echo "Text to send if user hits Cancel button\n"; exit; } else { echo "<p>Hello $PHP_AUTH_USER.</p>"; echo "<p>You entered $PHP_AUTH_PW as your password.</p>"; } ?> --------------------- I have php 4.0.6 installed as a module(DSO) in apache 1.3.20 and everything else I've tried seems to work.

Any Ideas? Anybody know if this is supposed to work? Should I stick with AuthPG and forget PHP authentication? BTW I don't have AuthType set in .htaccess or httpd.conf.

Hi all,

I am having a problem with a PHP script, in which I am using a self-written OLE object to provide data to the script. I have two other OLE DLLs that I also use in PHP scripts which work fine. I wrote all of the DLLs in Borland Delphi, btw. (I am running PHP 4.0.6 and Apache 1.3.20 on Windows 2000 Pro)

For some reason, whenever I try to access one of the Char/String variables (in only this DLL) from PHP, it returns a warning: "Error in php_OLECHAR_to_char()". I have been trying to fix this problem for some time now, and am having no luck finding a source. I have had this message before, but it was easily fixed by setting a default value for the strings (in the DLLs) to a single ascii-32, so that the return would not be blank.

The only difference between this object and the others is that the low-level delphi code uses pointer variables to set up the data access, whereas the others do not. I have used this object in other non-PHP projects (and tests :) and it works as it is intended to. Also, all other types of variables in the object are intact.

Can anyone suggest a source of this problem? On what conditions does php_OLECHAR_to_char() error out?

Thanks in advance, Joshua Ecklund - mProwler

My ISP has a limit on my site of 10,000MB of data transfer per month.

4 days into september and I'm already at 2,500MB. It would seem they're including requests by their own PHP server.

I have a folder of ~80kb images that are dynamically resized using PHP into ~1.4kb thumbnails. Now for each one the PHP server sends an HTTP request for the 80kb image, and this is being counted against my 10,000MB.

Should it? Am I in the right in thinking that it shouldn't?
