Overriding an existing cookie with setcookie()and 1 sec expiry should do the
trick.

attached mail follows:

Depends on that if the cookie is set on your server or not.
If it is set on your server and the cookie_domain is set to /, that means ->
every script from the server has right to access it, if the path is more
restrictive you cannot access it.
And of course if the cookie is from another domain -> no chance because of
browser restrictive policy about cookies.

Hi!, How can I make a messagebox in PHP to print errors or warning (such as in VB or VC++)?. Is it possible?

attached mail follows:

you can use JavaScript to do that... <script> alert('your message goes here'); </script>

embed this in your HTML source code.

it is not possible to do so in PHP since it is server side.

How it would be possible to draw a "thich" arc with PHP & GD? You can see a picture here about thing I mean: http://www.pilotmedia.fi/xfiles/circle.jpg

ImageArc -function is just what I need, but it makes all arcs only 1 pixel width.

Any ideas?

attached mail follows:

&& and "and" are same except that they stay at different levels in the precedence table. But if the programmer is skilled he will never write code which depends on the precedence table but put brackets here and there, everywhere they are needed.

Divide and conquer ....

Have you tried it one function at a time -- e.g. if (email_is_valid($Email) { do stuff ...

also, what values do these tests return? have you echoed the values?

Have you tried it one function at a time -- e.g. if (email_is_valid($Email) { do stuff ...

also, what values do these tests return? have you echoed the values?

To verify the existence of both a name and message, try a test similar to the following:

if ((email_is_valid($email)) && (strlen($name) > 0) && (strlen($name) > 0)) { ... }

I've found that using "" in a conditional block tends to be a bit buggy. strlen() seems to be pretty solid for verifying the existence of text in a variable.

why does this work:

foreach ($table as $row) list ($a, $b) = $row;

but this doesn't?

foreach ($table as list ($a, $b));

it seems to me that the two are equivalent.

because the correct syntax is foreach ($table as $key => $val) { ... }

RTFM :)

BTW: overwriting $a, $b in each iteration isn't particularly useful...

With a lot of thought, yes. You need to consider a few factors before you start.

Security: Checking the IP address of the user. Performance: to DB or not to DB, that is the question! Security again: what kind of password algoritm are you going to use.

And so on and so forth.

I wish you the best of luck. I made such a script just a month ago :)

You've probably got an

If not, have you included or required a file? If there's a blank line (or more than one blank line) at the bottom of your included or required file that is considered output to the browser.

Header() MUST be the vert first thing sent to the browser.

If, in fact, you are assigning to $sql, then print out $sql to ensure it contains what you expect it to contain.

Hello,

Is it possible to put variable operators in queries? I tried this (the real variable comes from a form)

$Date_Operator =(">=");

sql="SELECT * FROM poeple WHERE age $Date_operator 20"; $result_id = mysql_query($sql);

It doesn't work like this. I also tried:

sql="SELECT * FROM poeple WHERE age \"$Date_operator\" 20" $result_id = mysql_query($sql);

it didn't work either.

Or should I use a have to make a IF-Then construction?

If $Date_Operator == (">=") then { sql="SELECT * FROM poeple WHERE age >= 20" } etc...

Can anybody help me with this?

Are you retrieving it using MySQL's UNIX_TIMESTAMP() function? PHP's date() function needs a unix timestamp to work with.

You should be doing:

select UNIX_TIMESTAMP(creation_datetime) as foo

date("M d, Y g:ia",$myrow['foo'])

Hi there,

Referring to one question I sent here over a month ago, I'd like to get back with subject: I need to copy a image file from the server box to another computer in our local network. All computers have WinNT 4.1 on it (also the server box PHP & Apache running) expect that file server where the file should be copied to (it's Sun Unix etc). But as I told before, the copy can be executed fine in Windows Explorer, no problems, but when trying to do the copy via PHP it won't success.

I tried the copy also with exec() and passthru() -functions: "cmd /c copy file.jpg x:\\path\\destifile.jpg". No error message appear, only text "0 files copied" (from Windows itself). If I execute the same command from Start->Run, it will success without problems.

First idea is that maybe there is some mess with user privileges? PHP is a module of Apache and Apache is running as a Windows' system service. Is Apache so running as a "nobody" user or something? How could I get same privileges for my PHP script as the logged user? (I am unable to modify privileges in the Sun box)

Hmm... That's all. Maybe little bit confused explanation but hope that you got the point ;)

Cheers, - Ville

It's not really, but kind of, a PHP question. I mean it is being written in PHP :)

I am putting together a search feature for our classified ads and there are about 4000 each day. Now I am bulding a query to search by newspaper, date, and keywords. One last thing is categories.

Curious how others would handle this...on the search screen (and on the site) we have broken down the classified codes into about 8-10 main groups (stuff like Merchandise, Transportation, Services etc).

Now the problem is this: in the database, each ad goes in with it's class code which matches up with the actual category. So instead of just Merchandise we have sub categories like Christmas Trees.

There are close to 1500 class codeas and when I build this I need to allow the user to select just one of the 8-10 codes and have the program return everything.

Will I need to do something like:

if $selection="Merchandise" then { select all ads where code="2" AND code="5" AND code="123" AND code="567" etc etc }

You could try using a separate file for configuration that uses arrays for each catgeory:

$merchandise = new Array( 1, 2, 6, 23, ... );

Then have it run a foreach loop:

foreach ($merchandise as $tempVar) { $queryConditions .= "AND code '$tempvar'"; }

You need to obviously work with it a little more, but this would be a very helpful method to use. It would allow you to add a new code to the config file without having to go digging really deep through your script. Just use include() to get the config into your script.

Hi,

¡'m new to php, but not to programming, I'm having problems using a simple print statement :

*print '<td width="25%" bgcolor="#FcaF00"><b><font face="Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans Serif">Ref:</font><b/></td>';* *print '<td width="25%" bgcolor="#FFFF00"><b><font face="Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans Serif">$reference</font><b/></td>';*

the problem is with the output, the table is fine but the variable $reference otputs it's name $reference instead of it's value i.e. 345. I'm getting mad because I know this has to be some kind of syntax error but I tried exchanging quotes for double quotes, adding parenthesis and stuff like that and I couldn't figure out what the prob is ...

Right the output shows Ref:$reference

Re-try the double quotes. Variable expansion is available within double quotes. It is not within single quotes.

Anyone out there know how to set the icon that is shown in the address bar, to the left of the URL?

It's also used in the favourites pane.

I know this isn't really the right place to make this post, but I figured that there are so many experienced programmers out there writing websites, that someone would have come across this before...

This is from the manual --

<?php

function is_uploaded_file($filename) { if (!$tmp_file = get_cfg_var('upload_tmp_dir')) { $tmp_file = dirname(tempnam('', '')); } $tmp_file .= '/' . basename($filename); }

if (is_uploaded_file($userfile)) { copy($userfile, "file.test"); } else { echo "<br>Possible file upload attack: filename '$userfile_name'."; } ?>

This uploads the file into the correct temp directory, it recognizes the filename, etc., but it won't copy it. I only can achieve the error message. I need to use PHP3 for this, I'm obviously missing something.

Philip,

I don't really see the problem with Arash's post.

If people want to help him out with critique, then that's their option. This board is hardly swamped with similar postings, is it?

Hi,

I was just going through my PHP book and I noticed that there was a way to check whether or not a form was filled out after pressing "submit".

Things worked okay when I used the form checking method of just checking if a particular field was filled in.

for example if ($email =="")

checks if the $email variable was inputted by the user.

However I was wondering how can I refine it so that it will also check if the $email variable contains an '' sign?

Thanks.

Hi folks, following problem appeared on PHP 3.0.16 on LINUX I have a binary file, where I want to replace some letters I do the following: $filename = "xyz.sdc"; $fd = fopen( $filename, "r+b" ); // also tried "r" $x=filesize( $filename ); // this shows the correct filesize 22528 byte $contents = fread( $fd, $x ); fclose( $fd ); $y=strlen($contents); // The first mistake $y = 32956 byte echo "BEFORE<br>".$contents; $contents=str_replace("UUUUUU","123456", $contents); echo "AFTER<br>".$contents;

It seems, that php converts HEX 00 00 to HEX 5C 30 just when it reads the data in memory because at the BEFORE echo the data will be shown as \0 (hex 00 00 ). The filesize will be correct when I save the str_replaced text and the text will be cahnged correct. Any idea, where this comes from??

Thanks in advance Oliver

Oliver,

Let's start with the fopen(), where the mode expression might be causing problems - should it be "rb"? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

If the 'binary' component hasn't been recognised it might explain the "first mistake". The ensuing problems may even stem from there...

Thanks DLNeil, I tried "rb" "r" "r+b"(C-style) always the same :( Any other suggestions ?

I am experiencing a problem of trying to run several variants of the same code and keep the sessions separate. Here is the scenario.

I am launching all of this from a CMS. So, the CMS displays a page that has 3 links on it. Link 1 is version A of an application, Link 2 version B, etc. The three links are all the same application but different builds, in essence. They all have the same session control code. They each launch a new window, but the session variables are staying in the pool for each link, which is not acceptable. When I call Link1 and then I call Link2, they need to have an independent pool (session). I have tried to unregister, destroy, unset, to no avail.

Is there a way, or am I out of luck? Hard coding is not an option, as the code has to be standard across all platforms and releases.
