MySQL has a command-line tool called 'mysqldump' which will output a text
file containing all the table creates and inserts necessary to recreate
the database.
As others have suggested, you can use phpmyadmin to import this file, or
you can just pipe it into the mysql command-line tool on the server once
you've created your database. Look inside the file created by mysqldump
and all will be much clearer.

Since you didnt make it clear, do you even have MySql and php on your

if you just wanna move data, like everyone else said phpmyadmin rocks, but I
do have a recommendation for ya before you jump to the ease of a GUI.
Learn how to work in the command line, for the type of situation you are
trying to resolve, after you learn that THEN work with a GUI like
phpmyadmin.
this will both give you a better understanding of mysql commands and also
help you to fully appreciate the usefullness of phpmyadmin. -lol
if you dont already have mysql php installed on your prodution site, see
what it will cost you to have it installed etc, if anyhting, and if its
already suppossed to be there, make sure they have set it up for your use,
some times ISP's wont create you a database till you ask, or even have the
latest version of php intalled for that matter. Even though it's suppossed
to be included in your server "option".
hope it helps.

.......................
Yes. I have mySQL and PHP on my end - localhost - for development.
I spoke with my ISP and they do not have mySQL installed on their end.
They use MS SQL Server.
Any idea what the cost is for the ISP to install mySQL on their end so that
I can utilize my database that I've set up on localhost?
Thank you.

MySQL is free for that sort of usage, so it only costs their time. If
they've done it before, it takes about 5 minutes from beginning the
download to standing up and clapping yourself on the back for a job well
done - in a unix environment, anyway. Not sure what's involved on the
Windows side but I expect it's slightly more complicated.

Hi Thomas,

We are runnig some online shops for our clients based on PHP. The checkout process is always based on sessions and we never had trouble with the session management. If you are in doubt with the standard implementation of PHP session management (based on files to persist variables) you are able to overwrite the functionality of the session management by your own implementations (e.g. based on a database to persist variables).

I have one question about operations that can be done with XML. What I need to do is build a web site which stores some data in XML files and retrieve that data. It's basically the system that allows users to register, login and upload and download some files. It needs to use XML.
The question is: If there are simultaneos approaches to register or upload (registration and upload data are all stored in the single XML file), using DOM will make me problems. DOM loads the whole document into memory, and writes it whole to disk. The question is how to avoid this? Since if, for example, two users register at the same time, they both get their copy of document, and the later that writes itself to the file will overwrite the changes made by the first one. How to avoid this and still use DOM? I am using PHP 4.1.2 and libxml 2.4.19.
Any advice is wellcome. Tnx in advance.

You could lock the xml file while a user registers: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.flock.php
if ($fp = fopen($file, "r")) { if (flock ($fp, LOCK_EX + LOCK_NB )) { // process registration here flock ($fp,LOCK_UN); fclose($fp); } }
however only one user will be able to register at a time.
It would be better to store this in a database because then you can have multiple simultaneous registrations. Then when whatever application needs to see the info as xml, have php generate the xml from the data in the database.

Hello,
I'm working with sessions. It's work fine with PHP 4.0.6 and when I update to 4.1.2. I've seen a strange thing, I canno't explain:
Before when a client consult our webserver with no cookies enabled, the PHPSESSID was been add in the URL automatly and when the cookies are enable, the PHPSESSID was save in the cookie. This work fine
But now, with no cookie enabled, the PHPSESSID was not add in the end of the URL. So I loose the session and the session variable.
It is a change in this new version ? Do I make a change in my program ?
I'm working on MacOs X.1.3 with PHP 4.1.2.
Thanks for your answer.

Hello,
I 've found where the problem is. It is with the last update of PHP 4.1.2 of Apple (Apple security Update of 5th April). This library seems light. Also there isn't the GD Library. When I go back to a version 4.1.2 by entropy.ch, All is OK. Session works fine and GD Library is present.
Excuse me for the noise.

the easiest way would be:
<? // -------------
// init var $str = "";
$str = "abc def ghi";
$str = str_replace (" ", "", $str);
echo $str."<br>"; // ---------------------------- // output: // abcdefghi // ---------------------------- // // or a regex: $str = "abc def ghi"; $str = ereg_replace(" ", "", $str); echo $str."<br>";
//if you want to strip any whitespace character: $str = "abc def ghi"; $str = preg_replace("/\s/", "", $str); echo $str."<br>";
// ------------- ?>
preg_replace is quite powerful, so if you only want to strip some spaces, you should prefer str_replace. Always think about how many power you need. str_replace -> ereg_replace -> preg_replace.

Jason,
This is for an events calendar, I want all the dates form the db but when I am generating the individual days for the calendar I need to know whether there is an event for that day, hence pulling out all the dates from the db. As I am looping through all the days in a month to dynamically create the calendar, I do not want to loop through the entire recordset to look for a date for that day in each iteration. Does your method find any row in the recordset with a given date?
I am at present exploring the possibility of creating individual arrays for each row in the recordset using the date as the name of the array, then testing to see if it exists. That way I can check for the existence of a given date at any point in my code and reference the associated values without looping through the recordset each time. My code is as follows...
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($events)) { $a = "date_" . $row["event_date"]; $$a = array($row["event_id"], $row["event_title"]); }
if ($date_2002-04-15) { do_something(); }
Any comments will be greatfully received.
Phil.

As I understand your problem, I would suggest, that you just select the days in the month, where there are events f.e. select count(ref#) from DB where date 'inside your scope' and events 'are there events' this gives you the number of lines. If there are any, you could ask more detailed, using the informations stored. If there are no events, make the calendar as normal. Thats also a good explanation for the column ref# (autoincrement, unique)
Even you only have to deal with one select, and can order your result, so that it makes you no pain showing them

Here the select could be Assuming you have the DB´s 'event_ref ' where 'event date' and 'event reference number' put in and 'event_content' where other useful informations are stored selct a.event_title, from event_ref a, event_content b where b.ref = a.ref and a.date='2002-04-15' No dealing with arrays and var_vars, just straight sql.

That sounds like a lot of work (both for you and for the server). Assuming you want to draw a monthly calendar where each day appears whether or not it holds any events (it's even easier if you don't need that)...
Just make sure the database returns your results in date order.
SELECT eventtitle, eventdate FROM event WHERE eventdate>='2002-03-01' AND eventdate<'2002-04-01' ORDER BY eventdate
Then loop through the days and draw any events that happen to occur on each day as you get to it:
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql); for ($day = 1; $day <= $num_days_in_month; $day++) { print "<h3>$day</h3>"; while ($row && (date('j', strtotime($row['eventdate'])) == $day)) { print "<p>{$row['eventtitle']}</p>"; $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql); } }

Lately I have noticed many scripts that all consist of one file even though they create the appearance of many pages. For example, you would open setup.php and a form would appear. Then after you complete the form a new page appears with the results of your form, however the URL is still setup.php. So basically you can make complicated forms span only one file instead of having separate file to gather, display and save the data, how is this done?

You can handle the HTML-output from within any functions. What I am doing normally is the following.
I got one page, let's say main.php
When calling this page I pass it a variable that tells main.php which function to execute ("printForm", "submitForm", "changeDB" etc.)
This is done by a simple switch-cascade.
Now I'm organizing my functions properly in different include-files, let's say "displayFuncs.php", "dbFuncs.php" etc..
And IMHO anything is much more clean and relaxed like this ;) On the other hand, if you connect to a db etc. you only have to write the code for the db_connect only one time (I include this, too).
Was this what you wanted to know?

we still use include();
setup.php has something like:
if(file_exists($page) and ...more...controls..) include_once $page;
then the $page.php is where you have a part of your site.
You can pass $page as the GET variable: setup.php?page=page.php
and so on....

Yes, and exactly this is what I told you ;)
I've got one page, let's say "main.php". This page is looking for a var, let's say called "$curAction"; $curAction is not present the script knows that you're new to this site and calls a function called "displayWelcome" (wherever this function is defined ;)).
<?php
$curAction = $HTTP_POST_VARS["curAction"];
switch ($curAction) { case "displayForm1": { displayForm1(); break; } case "displayForm2": { displayForm2(); break; } case "logoff": { displayGoodbye(); logout(); break; }
// And so on... }
function displayForm1() { ?><form><!-- html goes here --></form><?php }
// ...and so forth ?>
So this switch casecade handles what content is to be displayed, which looks as if you where getting different pages...
Better now?
Cheers,
Kiko

Lately I have noticed many scripts that all consist of one file even though they create the appearance of many pages. For example, you would open setup.php and a form would appear. Then after you complete the form a new page appears with the results of your form, however the URL is still setup.php. So basically you can make complicated forms span only one file instead of having separate file to gather, display and save the data, how is this done?

The only reliable way to do it is to have a field in your guestbook table which records the time that the entry was made. Then you can:
SELECT * FROM guestbook ORDER BY time_entered LIMIT 1
I have set follow-up to php-dblists.php.net where this belongs.

add to your mySQL query:
" order by id desc limit 1"
This will order your data by your primary id (change 'id' to whatever you auto-increment) in the descending order and will limit the results to 1 record.

this should do the trick:
SELECT MAX(field) from table
you have to use MAX to get the highest value in field.

or instead of fopen, use: $fp = fsockopen("http://www.yahoo.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30) or die ("Could not connect to yahoo.com"); // wait for answer (replacement for deprecated set_socket_blocking) socket_set_blocking($fp, 1);
i forgot to "die" in the example below, if connection could not be established. so $fp = fopen("http://www.yahoo.com", "r"); should be $fp = fopen("http://www.yahoo.com", "r") or die ("Could not connect"); or you get an endless while loop on the feof if connection fails.

FYI:
<br><br> is not same as <p>. P is paragraph and br is just a line break of the text. So, depending on your text format the lines broken twice might (normally ARE but not too noticeably) look different.
try to mess with CSS and you'll see the difference about how browsers see those both ways.
In the poster's case, to have a <p> out of <br><br> he should still use nl2br() and then add this to it:
$text = preg_replace("/\w*<br>\w*<br>\w*/i", "\n\n<p>", $text);

Sounds like you might be trying to do things the hard way. Wouldn't it be easier to simply set the table widths as a percentage rather than an exact width in pixels?
Eg. width="50%"
The above example will set the table width to 50% of the browser window width. Or maybe you could use a bit of DHTML and javascript to do the resizing instead?
If you really badly want to do it the way you described below I guess you could use javascript to detect the values for screen width and height and then send them to PHP.

Hallo everybody,
huuh - has anybody seen a scriptbased, parametric pagelayout control?
Depending on the viewers screen resoltion I would like to change table and cell widths in my page. This would mean I only need ONE version. The screen resolution detection would e.g. find a width of 640 pix. Say my sttandrad res. was 800 than a factor could calulated by setting Factor=res. viewer / res. standard. In the above sample this would be 640 / 800 = 0,8 as factor-value.
All page, table, row, cell, images width (and heights) would have to be multilied with this factor.
As the screen res. can only be analysed on the clientside it must be e.g. a javascript to do that.
Did anybody hear about any way to get this done. Any tip is greatly appreciated.

Hi
php-4.1.2 linux RH 7.2
I have created a small php extension. The extension works as expected when I compile it using
$ ./configure --with-foo && make # foo is the extension
It gets compiled into the php binary. All is well, but I would like to compile my extension as a loadable modules (ie to use with the dl() function). Thus
$ ./configure --with-foo=shared && make
The compilation completes with no errors. The php binary works (my foo ext is not included in the binary), but I end up with *no* 'foo.so' file. Instead I get this
$ ls -l modules/ 51776 Apr 5 13:11 foo.a 647 Apr 5 13:11 foo.la
I expected to see a 'foo.so' file.
Obviously I cannot use dl() on these files.
The foo extension is as simple as possible, just to illustrate the problem. It was created using these commands:
1. $ cd ~/php-4.1.2/ext 2. $ ./ext_skel --extname=foo 3. $ cd .. 4. $ vi ext/foo/config.m4 5. $ ./buildconf 6. $ ./configure --with-foo=shared 7. $ make
The whole config.m4:
PHP_ARG_WITH(foo, for foo support, [ --with-foo Include foo support])
if test "$PHP_FOO" != "no"; then PHP_EXTENSION(foo, $ext_shared) fi
Output from make:
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/wic/php-4.1.2/ext/foo' /bin/sh /home/wic/php-4.1.2/libtool --silent --mode=compile gcc -I. -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2/ext/foo -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2/main -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2 -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2/Zend -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2/ext/mysql/libmysql -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2/ext/xml/expat -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2/TSRM -g -O2 -prefer-pic -c foo.c && touch foo.slo /bin/sh /home/wic/php-4.1.2/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -I. -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2/ext/foo -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2/main -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2 -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2/Zend -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2/ext/mysql/libmysql -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2/ext/xml/expat -I/home/wic/php-4.1.2/TSRM -g -O2 -prefer-non-pic -static -o foo.la -avoid-version -module -rpath /home/wic/php-4.1.2/modules foo.lo /bin/sh /home/wic/php-4.1.2/libtool --silent --mode=install cp foo.la /home/wic/php-4.1.2/modules PATH="$PATH:/sbin" ldconfig -n /home/wic/php-4.1.2/modules ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Libraries have been installed in: /home/wic/php-4.1.2/modules
[etc...]
Note that I can manually create a so-file from the foo.a file using ld as in:
$ cd modules; ar x foo.a; ld -Bshareable -o foo.so foo.o
and then call dl("foo.so"), but that is not the way to go, right???
I think there is some arcance libtool switch missing in the Makefile, or I need something else in the config.m4 file
Btw, my real extension is a lot more complex, but it has the same problems so I figured this foo-thing would be a bit easier to debug :-)
I have searched high and low for any leads, but nothing has turned up so far.

hi,
does anybody have some experience with running PHP with different permissions and modules.
The only way that I imagine is to have 2 (or more) independent PHP installations with separate php.ini files. But this is stone age technique... I am sure that PHP has some kind of ini loading functionality (that I could not found in the documentation)

i don't like javascript. It's pain in the ass to get this working on more than IE and Netscape. Btw, to get it working on IE and Netscape is annoying enough already imo.So what i would do is registering some sort of variable in the session, that shows you if the page has been submitted already. On the page that processes the form, you register this variable to the session, if it isn't registered already. if it is registered already, you simply ignore the request
That's the easiest way, but as long as the session remains, the user wouldn't be able to submit this form again. So if you want the user to be able to submit this form again but preventing him from submitting the same data again, you have to do a little more than what i mentioned above.

mail() is only supposed to take 4 parameters, but you're trying to feed it with 5.
The last parameter (the 4th) can take any number of headers separated by by '\r\n'. So try:

If you have compiled php as standalone (I think it´s called the cgi) you can use the exec("lpd docname"), if you have a printer on your box, or in your network. If you want to do this on the clients(surfers) machine, you have to use the browser and JavaScript, as you are 'only' sending a html-page. HTH Oliver

Hi,
I have an odd problem. I have intermittent loss of sessions happening, and I've spent lots of time trying to figure it out, but I am at a loss here.
I found a post on phpbuilder that seem to be the same or a similar problem from 2001:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/archives/2/2001/3/1/125803
Unfortunately no conclusion seems to have been reached in the thread.
Anyway, to my problem. I set a cookie with the sessionid on successful login. I also store the sessionid in a mysql database with a timestamp. I check the cookie with the db, and update on each reload.
The script resides in one page, that is used repeatedly, and uses the same sessionhandling function for each request.
I have the timeouts set to 1 hour (3600) for both the sessioncookie, and the session file on the server.
Php version is 4.1.2, residing on Gentoo Linux, with a mysql db.
I have observed the directory containing the sessionfiles, while a tester browsed the site, and watched the session disappear from the directory before timeout has elapsed.
It is an intermittent problem, and seem to happen randomly...
Any ideas what's going on here? Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

This is a general question, and I'm not trying for flames, but I've been looking at various CMS sites:
php-nuke, post-nuke, php-website, typo-3, and ez-publish. I've probably visited others, but haven't book marked them.
One thing which seems to characterize them all, is that they seem awfully "busy", and it is easy to lose your way when navigating. Is that because the developers are trying to cram as much as possible on to their front pages, or do they tend that way as content and headlines are added?
Anyone know of any sites using any of the aforementioned scripts which are less busy, and on which navigation is clearer?

I take that to mean (the ISP's remote server where my website resides). Right?
How can I get the compete mysql statement onto the ISP's server?
Please advise. ................................
What I would like to know is:
I would like to find out the steps one takes in going from the process of having the mysql data reside on my harddrive - localhost - in development - to my ISP's server when it goes live.
The site resides on a remote server (the ISP's) when it is published (or goes live).

If you have shell access on your ISP's server, the quickest way to get that data into the database there is to copy the file across (using FTP or scp or whatever you use) and then pipe it straight in. Assuming that the mysqldump file is called 'data.txt', your database name is 'my_database' and your database username is 'me', you could use a command like this:
mysql -p -u me my_database < data.txt
It'll ask for your password and then the data will be in.
If you don't have command-line access, you could use a tool like phpmyadmin, which your ISP may provide. It has an option to import data from a mysqldump file.
Worst comes to worst, you can write a quick PHP script that reads each line of the .txt file and sends it to mysql_query. Just skip blank lines and comments (lines starting with #).

I have heard of string 'literals' and numeric 'literals' -- and now I learn that they are different from, for instance, strings read from a file or accepted from a form. Is there a resource that discusses these different programming constructs? The PHP manual mentions string literals but assumes that the reader already knows what they are (i.e., doesn't define them opposed to other types of inputs -- http://us4.php.net/manual/ro/html/language.types.string.html).

Is there a way with PHP to determine screen resolution size???
attached mail follows:
No, this is a client side (browser) issue, like newer versions of JavaScript, or Java...
PHP IS A SERVER SIDE LANGUAGE which generates HTML to send to the browser.
IF you could establish the resolution on the client side, you could parse this value back to PHP as a var to build certain pages, and perhaps store the resolution in a cookie/session.
But I have to ask if it's all worth it... I don't believe it is at all -- and that's coming from a background in graphic design, with fixed width pages, etc etc. It's the web, deal with it.
Side note: get_browser() can establish many features of a browser (such as javascript and cookies) but not even it can determine screen resolution... this is not an issue for PHP.

It needs to be a name/value pair, like this:
echo "<a href='http://abc.com/test.php?name=value'>try</a>";
Most people do it like this, letting them put a PHP variable in there:
echo "<a href=\"http://abc.com/test.php?variablename=$php_variable\">try</a>";
or if you don't like to use escaped doublequotes, try
echo '<a href="http://abc.com/test.php?variablename=' . $php_variable . '">try</a>';

No, actually in the querystring the ? only serves to separate the URL from the querystring. So you can only use it once, immediately after the URL. To add additional values, you use the & sign.
url.com?a=1&b=2&c=3 etc.

If you want to do that, it's a little more complex -- you can't use the querystring at all. You need to pass your values via the POST method in HTTP. The easiest way to do this is to make an HTML form and specify the method of the <form> tag as POST (like this: <form method="post" action="targetpage.php">).
There is another way, it's a bit more involved. You open a socket with the server and directly send the data as POST data. This allows you to avoid having to bother with a form. Rasmus Lerdorf wrote a function to do this (takes most of the work out of it) but it helps to understand how sockets work if you're going to take this route. Let me know if you want this function, I have a copy of it.
I CC'd this back to the list, because there are probably others who can benefit from this conversation -- in general, try to keep discussion on the list unless there is some reason for privacy.
Feel free to ask if you have more questions!

So I wanna learn how to code properly with register_globals off, I reead on PHP.net about the new auto globals and inmy new php4.1.2 windows installation using php.ini-rec edited according to the intall.txt file, and a few changes from books I have (upload tmp dir etc) I'm off to learn how to use the new auto globals. I've tried $_REGISTER and $_POST . Here is what I tried as a simple test.
<form method="post" action="somefile.php"> <input type="text" name="is_name"> <input type="submit"> </form>
--somefile.php--
<?
print("$_REGISTER["is_name"]"); or print("$_POST["is_name"]");
?>
I also tried $HTTP_POST_VARS["name"]
I didnt think about it till now but would it work if i assigned say : $is_name = getenv($_POST or $_REGISTER);
this came about while I was learning sessions, which were not working right with 4.0 installed with APACHE on windows. So I decided to update my php, as an ISAPI module, instead of running as a cgi version, and I left register_globals off.
when I tried to edit an example session script I had from a book to use $_POST, $_REGISTER, or even $_SESSION i got a blank page on the reload. I think sid is returning empty.
Can anyone offer me advice on this, proper coding and or proper configuration in PHP.INI
I'm trying to learn all this at once-lol, and learn it properly the first time around, especially since register globas will be deprecitated-poof.

Good idea, it's not really harder than doing it the old way and it helps you visualize where your data is coming from. I actually prefer it this way.

Yes, I have not yet seen a book that uses the register_globals off style. Hopefully that will change as the shift towards register_globals off becomes more popular.
> Can anyone offer me advice on this, proper coding and or proper > configuration in PHP.INI
Just turn register_globals off, and make sure you're using PHP 4.1.x or greater. I don't know much about Windows so if there is something wrong with your server then somebody else will be a better help.
> I'm trying to learn all this at once-lol, and learn it properly the > first > time around, especially since register globas will be deprecitated-poof.
Yep, that's what I did -- almost from the beginning I've been doing it this way. Just make sure that any time you refer to data that comes from one of the superglobals arrays, you use $_*['variablename'] instead of just $variablename. So if you have a cookie with a value of "Fred" and a name of "first_name", do $_COOKIE['first_name'] when you want to use that variable -- its value is "Fred".
The only one that works a bit different is $_SESSION['variablename'] -- it is the easiest way to set session variables. Just do something like
// user has submitted POST data, and you have // checked it for errors in your script $_SESSION['variablename'] = $_POST['variablename']; // put POST variable in a session
How easy is that! Note that doing this assignment with any other superglobal doesn't work and in most cases wouldn't make sense anyway. For instance, you can't set cookies using $_COOKIE['name'] = $name

Two problems.
1) It's $_REQUEST, not $_REGISTER
2) Take the outermost quotes off the argument to your print, like so:
print $_REQUEST["is_name"];

attached mail follows:
As miguel suggests, these are just arrays. Use them like any other array:
print $arr['key']; print "string {$arr['key']} string"; print 'string ' . $arr['key'] . ' string'; etc.
Read about arrays and strings: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php http://de.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/using-strings.php
With the only difference being that they are *super* global, so no need for: global $_SERVER; in your functions, etc.
Now if you want to be truly cutting edge :) Then consider extract() or import_request_variables() like so:
import_request_variables('g', 'g_');
Which will allow: // http://www.example.com/test.php?foo=bar print $g_foo; // the GET variable foo
Which is like: print $_GET['foo']; print $HTTP_GET_VARS['foo'];
See manual entry for more details and features: http://uk.php.net/import_request_variables
The above assumes you want it to be from GET and only GET, maybe this is not your desire so modify accordingly.
Or let's say you want to use server predefined variables such as $PHP_SELF, $DOCUMENT_ROOT, etc. yet have register_globals remain off. Since register_globals = on creates these, consider:
a) Using $_SERVER or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS in your code i.e. print $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; b) Or use extract()
For example:
// If register_globals are off (0) then extract if (!ini_get('register_globals')) { extract($HTTP_SERVER_VARS); }
// We just created these! print $PHP_SELF; print $REQUEST_URI;
Going through $_SERVER is good in that you're not wasting energy creating variables you'll never use, so do as you will.
extract() has many many options, read about them: http://ca.php.net/extract
All of the above should give ideas, have fun!

Ok here is my problem, for one I am new to php and would like a new pair of eyes for this piece of code, and second what I would like to accomplish is putting the contents of a directory into an array and then pulling the contents of that array into a select box for further processing... If someone could give me some more information on GetDirArray() or a different way to accomplish this problem that would be great... this is where I am thus far. <?php
$i=0; // counter $files = array(); // array to store directory content
// open directory $dir = opendir("/home/web/b/bignickel.net/htdocs/");
// loop through directory and put filenames into an array while ($file = readdir($dir)) { $files[$i] = $file; $i++; } // pull $file (directory array into select box) $file_count .="<OPTION VALUE=\"$file\">$file</OPTION>"; $form = "<p><FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"blank.php3\"> <SELECT NAME=\"files\">$file_count</SELECT> <INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\" VALUE=\"select\"> </FORM></p>"; // close directory closedir($dir); ?> Then of course I just use an echo to display the select box but so far I have not been able to have it actually work so any help would be great.. Thanks in advance, jas

how about that:
<p> <FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="blank.php3"> <SELECT NAME="files">
<?php $dir = opendir("/home/web/b/bignickel.net/htdocs/"); while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir)) { if ($file == "." || $file == "..") { continue; } echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"$file\">$file</OPTION>\n"; } ?>
</SELECT> <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="select"> </FORM> </p>
in your example there are two mistakes: 1. "while ($file = readdir($dir))" is wrong and should be "while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))". (see php manual readdir) 2. "$file_count .="<OPTION VALUE=\"$file\">$file</OPTION>";" is not inside the loop, so you will only get the last $file and not all (3. you probably do not need "." and ".." in your list, "." is a reference to the same directory and ".." to the directory above the current one)

Since I ran this on Win2000 machine, I changed name of directory: You were right on the money with your code; just a minor mod or two was required:
<?php
$i=0; // counter $files = array(); // array to store directory content
// open directory $dir = opendir("c:\\wbs\\");
// loop through directory and put filenames into an array while ($filex = readdir($dir)) { $files[$i] = $filex; $i++; // pull $file (directory array into select box) $file_count .="<OPTION VALUE=\"$filex\">$filex</OPTION>\n"; } $form = "<p><FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"blank.php3\">\n". "<SELECT NAME=\"files\">$file_count</SELECT>\n". "<INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\" VALUE=\"select\">\n". "</FORM></p>"; // close directory closedir($dir); print $form; ?>
outputs the following: <p><FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="blank.php3"> <SELECT NAME="files"><OPTION VALUE=".">.</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="..">..</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="activities.txt">activities.txt</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="addwbs.php3">addwbs.php3</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="classWBS.php">classWBS.php</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="funcs.inc">funcs.inc</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="link.php">link.php</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="snoopy.inc">snoopy.inc</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="wbs.sql">wbs.sql</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="wbsconv.php">wbsconv.php</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="wbsform.php3">wbsform.php3</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="wbsload.sql">wbsload.sql</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="wbspkg.php3">wbspkg.php3</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="wbsproject.csv">wbsproject.csv</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="wbsproject.mpp">wbsproject.mpp</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="xx.php">xx.php</OPTION> </SELECT> <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="select"> </FORM></p>

Ok I tried a different way to do it and this is the resulting code... I still need to be able to make some hidden fields so the contents of the item selected may be passed to another script which will stick the path of the file into a database table if anyone wants to give me a hand with that part. Here is what I have and it is working as far as just reading the directory and putting the contents into a select box... <?php // varible to hold path to directory we wish to open $dir_name = "/path/to/directory/on/server/"; // opening directory $dir = opendir($dir_name); // varible to start form $file_list .= "<p><FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"db.php3\"> <SELECT NAME=\"files\">$file_name"; // read the directory and place them into file names for further processing while ($file_name = readdir($dir)) { // exclude "." and ".." file names if (($file_name != ".") && ($file_name !="..")) { // variable to place results of directory into select box $file_list .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"$file_name\">$file_name</OPTION>"; } } // closing select and form and adding select button $file_list .= "</SELECT><br><br><INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\" VALUE=\"select\"></FORM></p>"; // close the directory closedir($dir); ?> If anyone knows how to do this in a better way please let me know, but this works and all it needs is some hidden fields (i am assuming here) so that the item that the user selects from the list can be further processed, like sticking the file path (not the actual file) into a database table. (I need help with that...) Enj0y! Jas

Hey Rick, thanks a ton... you have helped me out alot on this list. I got the code working probably about the same time you and another gentleman posted the same fixes I made, however I now have another question about adding a hidden field to take the results of the users selection and passing it along to another form which will stick it into a database, not the file mind you, i simply need to stick the path of the file into a database table. If you have any suggestions on how to do this that would be great. Thanks again, Jas

I must be missing something.
Just add a HIDDEN type in your form. It will be sent with all your form data.

So adding a hidden field would definately pass the contents of the select box to the other script so I am not doing anything wrong with this portion, but what if I wanted to append the path of the file name? Any tips? Thanks, jas
attached mail follows:
the contents of the SELECT box and the contents of the HIDDEN field are separate entities. Append the path upon transfer to the next PHP script
Show us what you REALLY want to do here instead of keeping us guessing...

Sorry, here is what I have thus far... everything is working except I am just not sure how to pass the result of the users selection to another script, I have added the hidden input type to try and solve it but I think I am doing something wrong, maybe I need to put the hidden input type on the second script to place the contents into the database, here is the code... <?php $dir_name = "/path/to/directory/"; $dir = opendir($dir_name); $file_list .= "<p><FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"ad_done.php3\"> <SELECT NAME=\"files\">$file_name"; while ($file_name = readdir($dir)) { if (($file_name != ".") && ($file_name !="..")) { $file_list .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"$file_name\">$file_name</OPTION>"; } } // added hidden field here... and so far it is not ge
