I use anti-email harvesting techniques in my sites but that works
because in HTML you can do more things than with plain text. The problem
is that these lists are stored in text. So, only when you display the
lists in HTML pages the protection has any effect.

If is that what you mean, I can explain what I do.

If there was just one archive of this list and we controlled it, then this would be ok. But the fact is that there are dozens, and we don't control any of them. So I don't see how this could be done.

Okay, I'm not saying any of these are necessarily 'good'; but for argument, here goes:

(1. ) pass-thru server:

(.a) Replace email addresses with hyperlink to server-based reply form, ie

abddef.com becomes www.listserv.com/replyto/9317401

(.b) Replace with email address with processed email, ie

abddef.com becomes forward9317401listserv.com

This will of course still require spam- filtering.

(.c) request-for-contact. Server form will forward user's email and request an email reply.

(2. ) They can't - all contact via the newsgroup - all email addresses censored, no work-around provided.

(2.b) Make this opt-in on request.

I look and I search everything, it looks I'm reaching to a wall :) I used Netscape, I uploaded to my internet server, still the same. Plus, I cannot find "header already send" at manual.

The error message is : Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /mpla-mpla/main.php:41) in /mpla-mpla /main.php on line 83

Note that I use "header()" without problem on another php script on the same server.(to redirect from a "parcked" domain)

Someone could help?

Thanks

As I've said, look up the header() function in the manual. It has all you need to know.

You can't have any output before you call header. Something in main.php on line 41 is causing some output that breaks the header() call. Be sure you don't have any whitespace at the end of included files.

Hi there!, To keep both <iframes> on the same line, you need to put them inside a table (like this: <table border=0><tr><td><iframe></iframe></td><td><iframe></iframe></td></tr></tabl e>)

You can switch off any borders with the following: in the iframe code use an iframe tag like this: <iframe border=0 height=200 width=400 FRAMEBORDER="0" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=NO NORESIZE scrolling=no src="pageToLoad.php"></iframe>

So to combine the two (both on the same line with no borders), something like this... <table border=0> <tr> <td> <iframe border=0 height=200 width=400 FRAMEBORDER="0" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=NO NORESIZE scrolling=no src="pageToLoad.php"></iframe> </td> <td> <iframe border=0 height=200 width=400 FRAMEBORDER="0" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=NO NORESIZE scrolling=no src="pageToLoad.php"></iframe> </td> </tr> </table>

In your server's configuration files somewhere. Nothing to do with PHP.

Recompile PHP to include support for the sybase functions.

[snip] I do believe it is a MySql question!!

What's wrong with the old standard way as:

$result = mysql_query(" SELECT *, if (last_name is NULL,'zzz end',last_name) as last_name_sort FROM new_miatapix ORDER BY last_name_sort LIMIT $page, 20");

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM new_miatapix ORDER BY last_name LIMIT $page, 20"); [/snip]

And then there is the very old standard;

SELECT * FROM new_miatapix ORDER BY last_name DESC LIMIT $page 20

HTH!

I think the script runs ok but the actual message that is sent from the script is not accepted or gets stuck somewhere.

PHP mail() implementation s*cks in many ways because you do not get much feedback from it to sort out any errors.

If you don't see anything else in the logs, maybe you need to use some SMTP sending client PHP component where you can see the dialog with the server to figure why it is probably being rejected or otherwise not delivered.

Hello

Can anyone point to an PHP example ( code )of searching a dBase Db. I know dBase is horrible, but thats the brief.

Thanks.

the following code represents an ineloquent way of capturing data from multiple form fields. currently, i am capturing the data from 4 fields(e.g. ."Choice 1: ".$line1."\n") i could have up to 222 inputs when this is completed.

what might be a better way of doing this instead of hardcoding 222 different variables? using and array? i want to be able to send this information as part of the $bid_information variable. i will eventually write this info. to a database, but for now, baby steps.

<? $name=trim($name); $employee_id=trim($employee_id); $month=($month); $aircraft=($aircraft); $position=($position); $bid_position=trim($bid_position); $revision=trim($revision);

$contact= "me"; // person to contact for assistance

$toaddress = "mefoo.com"; // the default value

$fromaddress = "From: webmasterfoo.com";

Hi! My opinion is that you should skip the array step and jump to database implementation - it's a slightly different approach and you'd have to change most of the array code...

Is their a way to retrieve the previous month using/altering the code below:

// get the current timestamp into an array $timestamp = time(); $date_time_array = getdate($timestamp); $month = $date_time_array["mon"]; $day = $date_time_array["mday"]; $year = $date_time_array["year"]; $tmonth= $date_time_array["month"];

outputs

5202002 May

i need it to output 4/20/2002 April

Hi,

If you want "last month" from the *CURRENT* date + time, then look at something like strtotime('last month'), which may help, generating a time stamp of the same day, time, etc in the previous month.

To format a different time stamp into what you want, consider the date() function in the manual... for starters, it's quicker for the code you have below:

NOTE: untested code :)

<? $timestamp = time(); $formated_date = date('m/d/Y', $timestamp); echo $formated_date; // echos what you already had ?>

however, since we want to have one less month:

<? $timestamp = time(); $month = date('m', $timestamp); $day = date('d', $timestamp); $year = date('Y', $timestamp);

// subtract 1 from $month, unless it's // value is 1, in which case it should be // 12, and the year dropped by 1 as well

if($month == 1) { $month = 12; $year = $year - 1; } else { $month = $month - 1; }

$formatted_date = "{$month}/{$day}/{$year}"; echo $formatted_date;

?>

I have no idea why you want to output "April" in addition to "4", but you can take your $formatted_date, feed it into strtotime(), which gives you the new timestamp. From there, you can get a word month out of the date() function, which gives you the text "April":

<? //.. continued from above code

$new_timestamp = strtotime($formatted_date); $month_t = date('F', $new_timestamp); echo $month_t; ?>

There are prolly better ways to do this, but you can see, if you think about it, and read the manual (just two pages!!!!!!!!!), you'll get what you want.

hi miguel

i'm testing on a windows so not sure where the timezone info would be but what you are saying that if i port my app to a unix box then it would be easy to just add the missing timezones in /usr/share/zoneinfo, right? if that's the case then i could just test with pacific, eastern and mountain time for now.

also, do you know if i store all my dates as GMT then when i convert to different timezones using putenv, will this take into account the daylight savings?

I'm not sure about the file format for those time zones - it seems to be some weird binary format. But hopefully your server will have a full complement available.

numbers with a leading zero are in octal format, and '8' and '9' are not valid octal digits.

Replace 08 and 09 with 8 and 9 respectivly and you will have the effect you desire.

08 and 09 are not real numbers. Any number starting with a 0 is an octal number which means you can only use digits 0-7

Drop the leading 0 and everything will work.

check for cookie if no cookie exists use defaults, else use information from cookie to set skin.

Surely there's some more challenging aspect to your query but I'm at a loss as to what it is.

I appreciate all the replies to my question before about this. And also to the person who asked the question later in the day!

What I'm looking for is a database neutral, comprehensive way to do escaping.

First of all, though, will a php string hold binary data with the value of 0x00 at multiple locations and NOT self terminate on the first occurrence of it? In short, are php strings null terminated, or count terminated like pascal and ada?

1/ If PHP strings are count terminated, as per above, then escaping 0x00 is necessary and functional. Probably a '\' character would be appropriate.

2/ obviously, the <'> character should be escaped, but I want it escaped with another <'>.

3/ I'm not sure if a <"> needs to be quoted in the data that goes into a database. Does it? How should it be escaped, '\'?

4/ The page on <add_slashes()> has some comment about escaping '_', '%' chars. I seem to remember that ANSI standard escape for the '%' is another one. What is the reason for escaping the '_' char and how is it done?

A key to understanding your mysql errors is by using the mysql_error() function. It's wonderful! Here's a simple example with a little error checking:

<?php error_reporting(E_ALL);

$conn = mysql_connect('host','user','pass');

if (!$conn) { print "Could not connect to mysql : " . mysql_error(); exit; }

mysql_select_db('dbname');

$sql = "SELECT foo,bar FROM blah";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

// mysql_query returns false on failure. if (!$result) { print "Could not query DB ($sql) : " . mysql_error(); exit; }

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

extract($row);

print "Hello $foo, I like $bar too\n"; }

?>

Hiya, me again :-)

Is it possible to expire certain session data, while still keeping the session itself in tact?

Example...

$_SESSION['AlwaysTrue'] = "True"; $_SESSION['ExpireThis'] = "10:20:00";

At 10:19:50 the session is registered. AlwaysTrue must remain True for as long as the session itself is true (as specified in the documentation - this would be until the browser is closed, or after a certain amount of inactive time).

However, at 10:20:00 (10 seconds later), I want the ExpireThis value of the session, to be destroyed, without having to de-register the entire session (this would then also destroy the AlwaysTrue value...

Am I right in presuming this cannot be done, and I'll have to come up with my own little function to do this with? If so, how can I see at what time a session variable was written, or would I need to register the time that the session variable was set to the session as well? For instance....

$_SESSION['AlwaysTrue'] = "True"; $_SESSION['ExpireThis'] = "10:20:00"; $_SESSION['ExpireThisTime'] = "10:19:50";

Then, just do a comparison, and if ExpireThisTime is past 10:20:00, then just delete that one variable...

There's no easier / better way to do this ??

Basically, I'm needing something like this to bring down the number of possible database queries. I have a application which will have new information in a database, every 75 seconds. The queries are performed on every single page that a user is logged in to on a site. To make sure that the same queries is not issued over and over on the database, I want to implement some sort of caching where I will only need to do another query after the database received new information (every 75 seconds). It's all numbers (integers), so I was thinking.... It may well work if I can save these values to session data, and then just "refresh" the session data every 75 seconds.... The problem is, there's lots of other information saved to the session as well, which I cannot afford to loose with a possible session_destroy()......

What about something like this: (un-tested, just off the top of my head) It'll set a cookie the first time a user gets to the page, and will then only re-load data every 75+ seconds (from the time the user first loads data) -- and only updates the cookie when data is re-loaded

if (date("U") > ($cookie_load+75)) { print "fetch from DB"; SetCookie("cookie_load", date("U")); } else { print "Loaded ($cookie_load), now ". date("U") ." -- NOT fetching\n"; }

if (!$cookie_load) SetCookie("cookie_load", date("U"));

eval() is for running code, not parsing strings.

Try something like:

for ($i = 1; $i <= 3; $i++) { $var = "q$i"; print "<br><input type='hidden' name='{$$var}'>\n"; }

Or use arrays.

This is well-documented. Right out of the set_time_limit() docs:

Note: The set_time_limit() function and the configuration directive max_execution_time only affect the execution time of the script itself. Any time spent on activity that happens outside the execution of the script such as system calls using system(), the sleep() function, database queries, etc. is not included when determining the maximum time that the script has been running.

Like anything else, you need to check user input. There are all sorts of malicious things that can happen if you use user-data incorrectly.

What makes you think you can echo something after your script has timed out? Change that print to write something to a file in /tmp and you will see that it works just fine.

Hello every one:

I'm trying to create XLS files on the fly. I found BiffWriter. Looks great for adding texts and numbers, but not formulas.

Has anyone implemented something about formulas?

Thanks.

attached mail follows:

Can you just write out the formula to a cell? i.e. write the value "=SUM(C1:C5)" to a cell and see if it's evaluated? Just throwing things out...

I would think that you wouldn't need formulas. Isn't that the idea of using PHP to create the Excel document? Have PHP compute the values of the "formulas" and print out the actual value. May not work for your case, though...

What if the user opens up the sheet and changes a number after PHP creates it? Wouldn't you want formulas to re-compute the sheet and keep it correct? :)

Like I said, it depends on your case. When I create an Excel file, it's a "snapshot" of everything. If you need an updated speadsheet, you go back to the webpage and hit the button again... I don't expect people to be updating the actual excel file.

A few things FYI:

* eregi() takes a string as the pattern, not an array.

* you put $types in single quotes, which doesn't get evaluated... double quotes are needed for evaluation... but you don't need to put a single variable in quotes anyway.

* If you want, you can implode the types array into a string which you then use as the pattern. BUT, in your array() statement, you're putting the extension name into the key, rather than the value section, so this wouldn't work unless you change that.

I cannot use header either. Perhaps, I run PHP under Wins. However, the above syntax works well with any browser.

Of course, it works. But I wanted to do it by HTTP headers because I generate HTML from XML thru XSLT, so I don't want to dig in there.

I just wanted to know if it's usual for IE of any version, or it's something wrong with my IE6 on WinXP.

How about combining a user defined error handler function that tests for various $_SERVER and/or $_HTTP variables, that if correct, allows the output to be displayed.

What I'm planning to do is to add the logo of the site over every image uploaded. Here is the code after upload:

$dst_im = ImageCreateFromJPEG ("../".$pathImg.$NomeFile); $src_im = ImageCreateFromJPEG ("../imgsite/logo.jpg"); $dst_size = GetImageSize("../".$pathImg.$NomeFile); //800x600 $src_size = GetImageSize("../imgsite/logo.jpg"); //50x50 ImageCopy( $dst_im, $src_im, 150, 150, 0, 0, 50, 50);

I don't get errors but it happens nothing to the original img ($dst_im). The image logo.jpg is 50x50 and the $dst_img is 800x600.

Thanks for your help, Evan

ImageJPEG($dst_im,"../".$pathImg.$NomeFile); ImageDestroy($dst_im);

But now I have another question: how to mantain the transparency of the png (src_im)?

That's something they did manually to their own standard. The standard encoding for is %40. Why? Beats me. They don't really need to. Encoding URL's can be done via urlencode() and urldecode().

If you want to do the same thing they're doing, you can use str_replace(): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

Perhaps they did it to thwart "smart" spambots that can translate "%40" to "".

To be honest, I don't feel like wading through their example to figure out what's wrong. The way they're parsing doesn't seem very efficient to me. Check this tutorial/example out: http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/phpxml.htm

Yes, you can use for instance APC which is a cache extension which in MMAP mode stores compiled code in files in disk the first time the files are executed. Then you may remove the original PHP script files and the compiled files will be used without the source files.

Well, you're in luck; that's all very easy to do.

Are you having a specific problem with some aspect of it?

A good starting point is the PHP manual page for fopen().
