Assuming you're using Apache, you can use mod_dav (http://www.webdav.org/)
to provide read/write access to files for clients with newer operating
systems (WinXP, OSX, maybe a few earlier versions) over HTTP. Combine this
with a simple locking mechanism in your database (i.e., update file set
locked='1' and lockedat=now() and lockedby=$user where file_id=$file) and
you're good to go.

They'd have to be "uploaded" *SOMEHOW*...

If the employees can't do that "by hand", then perhaps some kind of
"scheduled" task on the Win boxes could be programmed to do it.

Don't forget to *UNLOCK* after a successful upload, but not when, not if,
when, the upload fails.

There's simply NO WAY the server can reach out and suck in a file of its own
volitoin... Major privacy/security problem there.

You *COULD* also install Apache + PHP on every desktop, and have them
serving up their edited Word files to the Intranet, and then PHP could use
HTTP to suck them back in...

But that's probably not gonna fly for non-technical reasons. Well, not
counting really bad Security as a "technical" reason.

The only way I see this can be done is simly let every user mount a share under the same letter, all you need to do then is <a href="file:///X:/directory/file.doc">file</a>, then locking files is up to samba or windows server.

I think what the OP meant (certainly what I meant), is that the Word doc is accessed from a normal link. Clients use windows and the browser has the .doc mime type set and spawns Word. The user edits it. I had (vainly) hoped for a way of setting the "File..Save As" to trigger PHP's File Upload facility.

Has anyone had this need, found a way around it or found it not possible?

Thanks for the WebDAV pointer. I shall certainly be looking into that but I had hoped for a simpler way compatible with existing windows versions. Longer term it looks the right way to go.

Thanks Chris

Yes I thought about windows shares. On the internet (as opposed to intranet) the word "security" leapt to mind and I went away from the idea. Has anyone used Samba shares on the internet or know if its secure/insecure?

If you can use virtual private network, it is secure. But I don't know about plain Samba solution.

Hmm, I don't know about intercepting the "Save As..." option from word to trigger a PHP URL, but you could direct people to save their edited word files to a specific directory on a network share on a PHP-enabled server (easy enough on a Windows network, and not too much harder with Samba on Linux)... then you could run a PHP script as a cron job to check for modified files in that directory every five or ten minutes, and have the script upload them as needed.

It's not instantaneous, and there would definitely be some logistics to work out (what if two people are editing the same file at the same time, how do you account for that 5-10 minute lag, etc.) but it might be better than nothing.

Nope, I don't speak japanese ...so this ML is all I can turn to :(

Found my problem.$B!!(BThere was no problem. I was trying to test my code by displaying the INPUT and OUTPUT in a web browser. I forgot to realize that my input and oupts were in different encodings.

The browser can only display one encoding charset so of course either the input or the output string I was displaying would be mangled.

So nothing was wrong with the output string I was trying to display. If I changed the document encoding in my browser setting to that of the out put string then I could read the output string fine and the input string became mangled. Just as it should ;)

I already do :( The most terrorizing thing is that desolating "There are no user contributed notes for this page." that appears almost on every function in the online manual.

And the fact that there is no pointer for people in trouble to contact the developers of the library. The few user notes are from us europeans and tend to focus on how you can port utf-8 to old ISO standards.

IMHO such delicate matters would deserve a bit more of a detailed explanation, especially since most of us are going to use those functions to treat strings that they cannot read themselves to check the output result. Anyone knows how to get hold of the mblib developers mail address?

But okay, there *is* such a thing as a chinese/korean/japanese internet, so it means it can be done. Whether you and I can make it... well, it's another question :(

Now THAT'S NEWS! :) Okay, just put the SPAN thing around your different output sections and you'll be able to check both in and out on the same page :)

Can you explain that SPAN thing a bit more. You said to use:

I can understand the charset param but what is the lang param used for?

Basically it might even be useless. But id does not harm to use it. Like this:

<BODY>

this text uses the header charset language setting

<SPAN charset="KOI-8" lang="ru"> This is russian text in KOI-8 format Á ×ÏÔ ÜÔÏ ÒÏÄÎÏÊ ÑÚÙË! </SPAN>

This again uses your header settings

<SPAN charset="ISO-8859-1" lang="en"> This is english text in basic format yes, it is </SPAN>

This again uses your header settings

</BODY>

Note that SPAN will not change anything in your formatting (like tables and so on).

Another (and safer) way to do it, is to define classes in a CSS sheet and apply the to SPAN areas. So you keep a centralized control on your char formatting.

But if you just need it to debug output you can be happy with a direct charset/lan specification.

language codes are zh = chinese ko = korean ja = japanese

the charset codes must be fully specified, such as ISO-2022-JP (the one you are using yourself) SHIFT-JIS EUC-JP

otherwise it will make no sense to your browser. Usually looking at what you can find in your "preferences->navigator->languages" will do the trick (talking about Mozilla).

EUC-KR would mean korean, and so on, which is which just EUC will not mean anything.

I tried EUC-JP and ISO-2022-JPand neither worked. Ah well ... so much for a nice idea quick hack to displaying multiple charsets at once.

They should. I checked out w3c.org at that and it definitely should. No exception for japanese mentioned anywhere.

The two parameters actually open a local exception from the

headers. And SPAN sections can be nested. At least, so the standard goes.

Besides, while checking the docs I stepped onto something really funny (to say the very least). I quote from

http://www.htmlcompendium.org/attributes-list/attributes-notes/lang.htm

------------------- The argument to the "lang=" attribute is made up of two parts; a primary code and an optional subcode (separated by a "-" hyphen). The primary code is a two character language code. i.e.<tag lang="en">

The subcode is "understood to be a (ISO 3166) country code". However, W3C also gives several examples: <tag lang="en-US"> <tag lang="en-cockney"> <tag lang="i-cherokee">

They also propose a method of handling such "artificial languages" as Elfish and Klingon. For such languages they propose the primary code of "x" ---------------------

Now I hope I shall never manage a porting to a Klingon repository LOLOL

Anyway, if you do not need it for your application but just for a debugging procedure you can just forget about it :)

have you closed all browser windows?

eg. if you open your browser, then spawn a new window (ctrl-n or similar) then do something with one of them which creates session vars, then close that window, then open a new one again, the session has probably remained active because the first window was still open

can you provide a code sample of how you are using the session variables? have you modified any of the expiry times etc?

Can anyone say something about this? It would mean that a content repository ported to Postgres would not be able to hold chinese, korean and japanese content at the same time. Quite a big minus, I'd say.

Any chinese, korean or japanese programmers on this list? (I put the countries list in alphabetical order, no personal preferences implied).

Don't know the answer to your question exactly but how about transforming all user input into something like unicode/UTF-8 (or UTF-16) and *then* putting it into the DB?

That way all the DB input has the same charset.

That was my first idea, yes. Normalizing to utf and get read of whatever trouble might lie on the way. Then I read on the MBlib docs that japanase chars may take up to 6 byte each, and that would hardly fit into a utf-16 format.

Again, all my worries are probably based on the sole fact that I never treated chinese/korean/japanese text in my life so I easily get deceived in my elaboration.

Thanks a lot for starting the subject. You saved me a lot of trouble in the coming winter :)

True but I think that is for an encoding other than UTF (because of the escape sequences they use?). UTF-16 should be safe.

A good way to learn this sorta thing is with experience. The more you learn and understand, the easier it is to write your own useful code, from scratch.

Read the manual section on arrays. Twice. And after awhile your brain will go crazy with ideas :)

Hi,

Output the correct headers before you output the image ie header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); imagejpeg($dst_img, '', 50);

Remove all print statements from this code. You cannot output anything but the headers and the image itself.

Use imagecopyresampled if you can. It gives much better quality.

Then to output the image from another script (not within test.php) use this: <img src="test.php">

Thomas,

If using JavaScript to open the window, then php is not going to be able to transfer variables as it is not being used. As you form is not being submitted (you intercepted it with a JavaScript call, right?) then you need to transfer them manually by getting the JavaScript to add the variables to the end of the url as GET data.

If I have this wrong (and I've had to make some assumptions) then please show us some code.

Ok, let me show some code :

This is the SUBMIT button that submits the form alongwith the Form Variables to a file called "Add2Cart.php" !! But this file simply opens in an unadministered new window.

i would like to use the window.open function, or whatever can accomplish this, to restrict parameters of the window in which add2cart.php opens, at the same time the variables of my form should get submitted into the add2cart.php

Attach a javascript event to the submit button such that on submit opens up a window with your required specs. Then set the url of that window to point to add2cart.php, and also attach the form values to the url.

Thomas,

Yes, I understand what you want to do, but this is a limitation of HTML itself, rather than PHP. There are no HTML commands for doing this. JavaScript, being client side, has much more control over the browser and can define window size etc. If, on your submit button, you use the onClick event to submit the form, then the only way to pass the data is by making up a GET string in the url.

At least, I have not found a way around this. The above solution is what I use. This assumes the client browser has JS turned on too, which in my case (on an intranet application) I can specify.

I assume that 2count should really be count and 2 is just the line-number you added in this post...

tececo_stats.views is (probably) the name of a column and cannot be used as an alias. Change it to something else. change count(*) to count(tececo_stats.*) (I think that's what you want) And you probably need a group by-statement at the end: GROUP BY whatever_you_need_to_group_by

It's really difficult to answer your questions without the table designs, the error message and what you expect this query to do. And, it's not slightly OT. It's totally OT. :-)

id int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, page_id int(11) NOT NULL default '0', visited int(11) NOT NULL default '0', time int(11) NOT NULL default '0', remote_dns varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', remote_ip varchar(15) NOT NULL default '', referer varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', browser varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', system varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (id), KEY page_id (page_id,time)

table structure for meta_data(contains information about the pages in my website):

id int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, pid int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', title varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', page_name varchar(75) NOT NULL default '', description text NOT NULL, keywords text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id), KEY pid (pid)

main file(required.php automaticly does a DB connect and is used elsewhere so I know is not the problem). <? include "includes/required.php"; do_html_header('Page Detail Statistics');

$query = "select count(tececo_stats.*) as tececo_stats.views, meta_data.title from meta_data, tececo_stats where meta_data.id = tececo_stats.id order by meta_data.id group by meta_data.id"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed: $query<br>" . mysql_error()); $num_results = mysql_num_rows($result); ?> <table width="500"> <tr style="black_row"><td width="200">Page Name</td><td>Tota;Number of Sessions</td></tr> <? for ($i=0; $i < $num_results; $i++) { $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); echo '<tr><td>'.$row['meta_data.title'].'</td><td>'.$row['tececo_stats.views'].'< /td></tr>'; } ?> </table> <? do_html_footer(); ?>

error message: Query failed: select count(tececo_stats.*) as tececo_stats.views, meta_data.title from meta_data and tececo_stats where meta_data.id = tececo_stats.id order by meta_data.id You have an error in your SQL syntax near '*) as tececo_stats.views, meta_data.title from meta_data and tececo_stats whe' at line 2

What I want to do: This is essentially a script for a stats program that I am writting that returns the number of hits for each page. Instead of looping a query I decieded to try and join the two tables to make it more efficiant. I am trying to get it to work with hits now than make it sessions later.

I hope this is enough info and thank you for your help.

I would try something like this...

SELECT COUNT(tececo_stats.id) as num_hits, meta_data.title FROM tececo_stats, meta_data WHERE meta_data.id = tececo_stats.page_id GROUP BY tececo_stats.page_id ORDER BY num_hits DESC

Don't cross post such question...

All you need to understand is how cookie is managed unless you are passing session id via URL.

Read RFC2965 and RFC2964. You probably want to read netscape cookie spec also.

I think you will be stuck with using http://php.net/exec to run some external process to convert them.

Image Magik seems to convert almost every format known to man...

I got a problem with that!

I've written a batch file that sits in the same dir as the PHP script and when I exec it, it doesn't work! I've thouroghly thrashed the batch file for errors and it came up ok every time. if I echo the exec it only returns the first line of the batch file.

Anyone?

[snip] I've written a batch file that sits in the same dir as the PHP script and when I exec it, it doesn't work! I've thouroghly thrashed the batch file for errors and it came up ok every time. if I echo the exec it only returns the first line of the batch file. [/snip]

I have found that even though the batch, shell, or other procedural call in an exec(), system(), sits in the same directory as the PHP script you must include the /full/path/to/the/script in order for it to work properly.

Hi,

Ok i have a bunch of rows in my table, with some data.

I want my mail() function to be able to pick up the data from the rows and send to a specified email.

Basicall let's say there are 3 fields, and 3 rows, the data sent in email should be something like :

row1field1 : dkjhdkj row1field2 : dsjdkj row1field3 : skljskj

row2field1 : dkjhdkj row2field2 : dsjdkj row2field3 : skljskj

And so on, apart from the other mail info.

Can anyone help me out with this...

Thanks, T. Edison Jr.

You've stated what you want to do, but you haven't stated what your problem is.

> Can anyone help me out with this...

Did you want someone to write the whole code for you? Or did you want pointers in how to go about writing the code? If you wanted pointers, then you should state _what_ you need help in. That way people needn't waste time in covering things that you already know.

Thank you for your *extreme* kindness...

I do not know where to begin to make this happen. I created a variable and ran the entire do while loop to read contents of the table and tried storing them in the variable, which could be used as Content of the mail. However, i just get the Last Row in my DB Table sent in mail.. not all the rows. Following is part of the code i'm using, and it could be absolutely wrong, but that's all i know..

$db = mysql_connect("localhost","user", "pwd"); mysql_select_db("tbl",$db);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cart where sid='$s'",$db);

$realcontent="

if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { do {

$myrow[pid]<br> $myrow[nm]<br> $myrow[q]<br> } while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)); }

You might wanna do like this instead:

$realcontent = ""; while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $realcontent .= "$myrow['pid']<br>"; $realcontent .= "$myrow['nm']<br>"; $realcontent .= "$myrow['q']<br>"; }

imagejpeg($thumbnail,'test.jpg',$quality); should of course be imagejpeg($thumbnail,'',$quality);

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with charset iso-8859-1. My configuration is : Apache 1.3.26 on MacOS X with PHP 4.2.1

when I execute this script : <? print ord("é"); ?> I have result 142 which is the code of the macinstosh table and when i send it to my browser or in a email, this doesn't work. I must have the windows table where this caracter has the code 233.

I've added in Apache a "AddDefaultCharset iso-8859-1". I also made a ini_set("default_charset","iso-8859-1") But it doesn't change anything. It seems to change the 'local values' but not the 'master values' I canno't change the value in php.ini because on MacOS X, there wans't a file php.ini

So I've made a personal function to change code on fly but it isn't speed.

Any suggestions ??

best regards.

sorry... coudn't help that!

What output do you produce with your PHP script? Is it plain HTML, does it include Javascripts or some our scripts? Did you check the HTML code of the output? Does it contain invalid tags or missing end tags?

You are correct -- it cannot be done.

If there is no JavaScript, you can only "force" a POST by getting the user to click on a FORM element, some how, some way...

*UNLESS*

Use PHP in a GET URL to call something like Rasmus' old 'posttohost' function which will do the POST.

I don't know if that will "work" for what you are trying to achieve...

I guess the root question is *WHY* do you want to force a POST?

>Does MySQL support parameterized queries (e.g., "INSERT INTO table >(Col1,Col2) VALUES (?,?)"), and if so, is there a PHP function that allows >you to create and attach parameters to MySQL queries?

I don't believe MySQL supports that, so there's no PHP mechanism for it.

However, you *can* insert a bunch of rows at once with something like:

$query = "insert into table (col1, col2) values (1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)";

I don't guarantee I got the MySQL syntax correct, though.

This is, however, not supported under other database engines, so be aware that you'll need to alter it if you ever move to something other than MySQL.

Wild Guess would be a missing ; in the line *BEFORE* 38. Second choice would be a missing } somewhere, or a missing quote.

Yes, if your site gets millions of hits, an SPROC can improve raw SPEED.

And it *MAY* be the only option available to wring out that performance you need.

There are some significant down-sides to the administration of SRPOC, as I noted earlier.

The company I was working for was *NOT* getting millions of hits, had no *CHANCE* of getting millions of hits, and mindlessly wasted weeks' of developer time and drastically increased maintenance costs because "SPROCS make it faster" has been the watch-word.

Their DBA was their chief IT who was their main lead developer, and then there was me. Two programmers in the entire 7-person company.

If somebody actually *HAS* a system large enough to need SPROCs and *has* a DBA who isn't also the chief-bottle-washer, they almost-for-sure don't need me, or you, to tell them about SPROCs. :-)

My primary concern is the little guy who's going to run out and change their entire architecture around for a 3000-hits-a-month web-site because they keep hearing "SPROCs will make it faster" without anybody ever bothering to mention little things like "overhead" and "administration" and "maintenance" to them.

I'm sorry my rant touched off a nerve, and if there *IS* anybody stuck with a million-hits-a-day site, by all means, *TEST* some SPROCs and see if they improve your performance enough to make the maintenance hit worthwhile!

By all means, *DESIGN* the darn thing with as many layers of solid, clean, simple API as it takes.

But if you're trying to improve page load speed on a low-traffic site, SPROCs are almost for sure not your answer.

If you don't even *have* a speed problem, running out and spending a gazillion $$$ worth of people-hours on SPROCs is downright silly.

Aha!

What you probably should do is have your index.php page spew out some JavaScript that re-directs them to the JavaScript-enabled home page, and then whatever you wish to display to the non-JavaScript users.

The JavaScript users will end up on the other home page, and the non-JavaScript users won't.

POST text can be very large, but your server is allowed to limit it as low as 2K, I think.

GET data can be limited as small as 255 characters, I think.

Those limits may have increased, but the bottom line is still GET *can* have a much lower limit.

It's up to the server to impose (or not) this limit.

>So how could this be done with post? I tryed to include a hidden text field, >but since this must be another form (action links to page 1) I can't get the >value of the entered data.

You'll be able to do a quick hack to fix it just using POST, but, truly, you'll save yourself a lot of headache long-term to use:

http://php.net/session_start

to just keep track of the user's ID, and store all the data as they fill it in in a 'temporary' table in your database.

Create a table with all the fields in all the forms, and call it something like 'incomplete_applications'

Then, when the user has clicked around on all the pages and is happy, they can submit the 'final' application.

You can then double-check all the data and make sure it's good, and then insert it to the "real" table, and delete it from the "temp" table.

You'll need to sit down and plan this out a bit more, but you'll be much happier with the results.

suppresses *ERROR* output, not just any old output.

echo "foo";

will echo foo out.

echo $foo;

will echo out anything in $foo, but if you haven't *PUT* anything in $foo yet, and if you have E_ALL turned on like you should, then the will suppress the "Warning:" message.

can generally appear just about anywhere, and not necessarily just in front of functions (unless this changed on purpose in 4.2 for some reason beyond my ken) I don't use a whole lot, except for pg_fetch_row() where you pretty much have to (ugh!)

Anyway, this is legal (or was before 4.2), if silly:

if ($foo){ }

Here, the test for $foo, which might not be set, will suppress the "Warning:" about $foo not being set, because there is an in front of it.

Of course, you *OUGHT* to be using:

if (isset($foo)){ }

in the first place!

I dunno why the behaviour changed in the original post's case.

Might even be an actual bug...

The risk is in hackers using an un-initialized $var to pass in their own data.

If you've *correctly* programmed and caught *every* single case where that might happen, by using isset() or even something like the above, only doing something more useful, you're almost-for-sure okay.

register_globals off just annoys me since I *always* initialize variables, and there's no point to me re-writing the tons of scripts for it, but that's life.

That said, the sheer number of non-programmers writing PHP made register_globals on a Bad Idea (tm) really...

I guess even some good programmers could occasionally miss a variable initialization, though I never do :-)

You probably aren't using http://php.net/htmlentities as you pass data back out to the browser.

Microsoft, in it's infinite wisdom, has decided that things like:

Thus, if you don't use htmlentities to turn "&regulation require" into "&regulations require", then MS has foolishly decided that "&reg" *must* be the HTML Entity ®, and you're just forgetting the ;

You should be using htmlentities anyway, but it's quite annoying when dumping data to the browser that MS does such stupid things with it.

Sigh.

Anyway, moral of the story:

*ANY* time you are sending strings out to the browser as data, use <?php echo htmlentities($data);?> on the data part.

EG:

attached mail follows:

>That looks like the result of htmlentities(nl2br($string)).

Actually, it's probably the result of just nl2br($string) and being in the midst of the INPUT tag in the first place...

>Do it the other way around. > >Better yet, don't call nl2br or htmlentities or anything else on data that >you are inserting into your database. Madness that way lies. >Instead, use those functions only when outputting data to the browser.

Yes! I forgot to say that part. Don't put the nl2br() part in before you insert it to the database.

You'll give yourself a major headache some day, like when you need to send that data off to something that's *not* a browser. And it *will* happen, sooner or later.

You *DO* need the htmlentities() to change your $string into valid HTML, so you can send it to the browser and fish it back out reliably.

You are essentially treating the browser as a "data storage facility", but a browser only accepts HTML data.

Thus, you must convert your data into HTML using htmlentities() when storing it there.

You do *NOT* want to convert it with htmlentities() or nl2br() when storing it in MySQL.

You only want to use Magic Quotes *OR* addslashes() to store into MySQL.

Then, only when you *finally* output it to the end-user do you want to use nl2br() to add any HTML needed to properly display it.

I hope this is making some sense now. It's hard to know when to apply these functions, but the two basic rules I would suggest you try to follow are:

Be sure you use the right function to store the data in the place you're putting it:

htmlentities to "store" HTML data addlashes() to "store" MySQL data (Or Magic Quotes instead of addslashes) nl2br() only to output the data in the final rendering to the end-user

And, only apply these functions at the last minute that you have to -- Applying them any sooner than that will give you a data-headache.

Still, though, using the browser as "data storage facility" in a multi-page FORM is not such a Good Idea (tm) in the first place.

The browser is really good at *presenting* data, but wasn't really designed as a substitute for a database. Put your data into the database as soon as possible. MySQL is *really* good at data storage.

On the "middle" page, use "View Source" in your browser to look at the HTML and your HIDDEN text.

I'm guessing that where you spit that HIDDEN text out, you are not using:

http://php.net/htmlentities

EG:

<?php echo "<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=whatever VALUE\"", htmlentities($whatever), "\">\n"; ?>

You may also want to consider storing each page's worth of data in a temporary table, kinda like a shopping cart, and then you only have to pass the User's ID around to keep track of all their stuff.

I actually found PostgreSQL more straight-forward, since the arguments are required. (Or used to be.) So I better understood what was going on in PostgreSQL.

Not as many examples "out there" but, really, changing:

mysql_query($query) to pg_exec($connection, $query)

in reading the examples is not that tricky...

Oh well. Different tastes for different folks.

>Plus, as others have pointed out, the supporting functions in PHP aren't >as powerful/diverse. For example, there's no insert id function.

Yes, there *IS* such a function, but it's a two-step process.

$oid = pg_getlastoid() followed by a SELECT ... where oid = $oid

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-last-oid.php

OID stands for "Object ID", and every PosgreSQL object has a unique OID. Every row, every Large Object, every everything.

Whoops. Just double-checked, and apparently pSQL 7.2 doesn't *have* to have OIDs for everything. This could get interesting, folks... A quick perusal of the PHP Docs makes me say: Only get rid of the optional OID if you are 100% sure you'll never need go use pg_last_oid() or you'll be in deep trouble.

You do *NOT* want to "just use the oid as my own id" however. OIDs can change when you export/import database data, if you're not careful, and it's just bad form to use that internal ID as your own.

PostgreSQL (and any SQL database) would be completely un-usable (*) if there wasn't some way to reliably get the last tuple inserted from your own connection.

Kinda funny that never made it into SQL92 :-)

(*) Yeah, okay, you can generate your own unique ID before the insert, and then SELECT on that to get the auto-generated ID... Might as well not bother with an auto-generated ID, then, eh?

>1) in a fuction, does a return statment automatically exit the function as >well?

Yes. Nothing more will get executed inside the function after the "return;"

Some purists claim that you should *NEVER* have a return *ANYWHERE* except the last line of a function.

EG:

# WRONG function divide($numerator, $denominator){ if ($denomiator == 0){ return ''; } else{ return $numerator/$denominator; } }

# RIGHT function divide($numerator, $denominator){ $result = ''; if ($denominator == 0){ $result = ''; } else{ $result = $numerator/$denominator; } return $result; }

It probably seems "silly" here, but when your functions get to be three or four screenfuls long, a "return" you aren't seeing on the monitor can frequently get you very confused, very fast.

>2) can someone give me a better explination of $HTTP_POST_VARS

If you give somebody an HTML FORM (like those forms you fill out on-line), after they fill it out, the PHP page that *proccess* the FORM page will find all the data in an array named $HTTP_POST_VARS.

Actually, it got renamed to $_POST recently. (The old one will still work for a while, but convert ASAP).

Sample HTML:

Sample PHP: (note the filename must match the ACTION= part above)

<?php echo "Searchkey is ", $_POST['searchkey'], "<BR>\n"; echo "search button was clicked: ", isset($_POST['search']), "<BR>\n"; ?>

You could even not "know" what fields are in the FORM, and just output all of them:

(this would be a "replacement" process.php file) <?php while (list($variable, $value) = each($_POST)){ echo "$variable is $value<BR>\n"; } ?>

Here's the thing:

PHP needs to find the MySQL headers, and you made a really good guess on the --with-mysql part so it could have found those...

But, PHP *ALSO* needs to find the MySQL "libraries", which are probably under /usr/lib/mysql

Now, you only get to specify *ONE* pathname in your --with-mysql=xxx

So, here's the deal-io.

You tell ./configure the directory *UP* *TO* the "common" part of where MySQL headers and libraries are, and it digs down inside there to find both:

--with-mysql=/usr

Does that make sense?

PHP needs to dig inside of that to find the "include" dir, *AND* the "lib" dir where stuff like libmysql.so are living.

So only give ./configure enough info to know where to start digging, not the whole path to just the "include" and then it can't find the "lib" -- and, paradoxically enough, it can't "dig" down to find the "include" inside the include, because you dug too deep already.

In your case, it's just /usr

Somebody else might have:

/usr/local/mysql/ include/ lib/

and they would use /usr/local/mysql

Don't worry about exactly how ./configure is going to dig down inside of /usr/include/mysql and /usr/lib/mysql as opposed to /usr/local/mysql/include and /usr/local/mysql/lib on some other system (See how the directory structures are "inverted" ?)

./configure is real good at digging "down" the directories either way it's laid out.

It just ain't good at backing up a directory or two to find the parts it needs.

>I'll repeat my ealier question because some people can not think for >themselves..

There are actually two (2) possibilities here...

One is that you actually want to print the invoices on the printer connected to the *WEB* *SERVER* If that is the case, you really should skip the whole JavaScript part, and just mess with lp and PHP from the command line, if at all possible.

The other is that you have a little "hole" in the background knowledge you need to understand why you're really not making a lot of sense by insisting that PHP "pause" the dialogs...

The loop is done in php and NOT javascript

The loop you are using in PHP is *generating* JavaScript.

The *PRINTING* is being done on the *BROWSER* and PHP lives on the *SERVER*

So the loop speed is not the controlling factor. Honest. More on this in a minute.

> 2. My question is regarding php and pausing the loop and not >with the javascript code)

You can, if you like, use http://php.net/sleep to pause that loop as much as you want.

*BUT* this is almost for sure *NOT* going to work all by itself.

Look at this picture:

+-------------------+ +---------------------+ | Browser 1.|-- URL---->|2. Web Server | | | |3, 4, 5. | | JavaScript 7.|<----------|6. PHP | | 8.| | | | 9. | +---------------------+ +-------------------+ | | | | v PRINTER

Now, take this in "slow motion"

1. Browser asks for URL. 2. Web-Server gets Request. 3. Web-Server identifies it as PHP page. 4. Web-Server fires up PHP. 5. PHP spews out HTML/JavaScript response. 6. PHP finishes HTML/JavaScript output. 7. Browser gets HTML/JavaScript. 8. Browser displays HTML. 9. Browser executes JavaScript.

As you can see, it really doesn't matter how fast or how slow your PHP script delivers the HTML/JavaScript to the browser, really.

The *JAVASCRIPT* execution determines how fast those dialogs are going to pop up, no matter how quick/fast PHP delivers it.

Think of it this way: Whether the pitcher throws a fast ball or a curve, it's how hard the batter *HITS* the ball that makes it a home run or not. So the speed of the ball delivery is irrelevent to the distance the ball travels.

[Technically, Newton's action/reaction laws do factor in a trifle on the ball's speed, but let's not pick nits, okay?]

Similarly, no matter what speed PHP delivers the JavaScript, it's the Java engine that runs it. Don't matter if PHP delivers it slow or fast, the *BROWSER* gonna run it the same speed.

Actually, 5, 6, 7, and 8 can "over-lap" a little.

So, really long and complicated PHP with lots of HTML going out *might* have the browser displaying the top of the HTML before PHP finishes spewing out the bottom of the HTML...

But, honestly, even when you *think* that's happening, it's usually really just the browser being slow to *draw* the HTML, and PHP has finished and gone home already.

So for all practical purposes, you might as well just think of each of those 9 steps as one after the other. (And if you have TABLE tags, it *IS* going to be one after the other.)

Now, you just *MIGHT* achieve a very crude control over PHP output and convince *SOME* browsers to execute the JavaScript if you do this "just right"

1. You'll probably have to have all the "print" happen in the HEAD tag, or maybe even before the HTML tag, so the browser doesn't get "distracted" by the layout of the BODY.

2. You'll almost-for-sure have to send each "Print" job in a *SEPARATE* <SCRIPT></SCRIPT> tag, or the JavaScript compiler will be waiting for the closing </SCRIPT> before it compiles the JavaScript and executes it.

3. You'll need to call http://php.net/flush after each "print" is output, so that the JavaScript is forced out to the browser.

Even, then, I'm betting this just isn't gonna work... It *might* on *some* browsers, but not reliably...

Still, here it is:

<?php while (list($invoice) = each($invoices)){ echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>\n"; echo javaprint($invoice); # Whatever it takes to do the "print" in JavaScript echo "</SCRIPT>\n"; flush(); sleep(5); } ?> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Whatever</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML>

You *MIGHT* be able to get away with putting the JavaScript into the HEAD part, but almost-for-sure if you put it into the BODY or lower, it ain't gonna work. I could be wrong on that part, but I doubt it.

Of course, if it's in the HEAD or higher, then while you're waiting for the printing, the browser can't display the BODY, since it hasn't received it yet, so you'll have a blank page the whole time you're printing. Maybe that's okay, though.

Meanwhile, you are *SHAMELESSLY* tying up your web-server to do a timed loop, which JavaScript is *perfectly* capable of doing. I think I even posted some sample code of a JavaScript timeout recently that you can use.

Certainly, if you *INSIST* on doing this in PHP, you *MIGHT* get it to work (or might not), but I *KNOW* you can do the timing part in JavaScript, without tying up your web-server needlessly.

HTTP connections are a very expensive resource. Tying one up long enough to wait a couple seconds for the user to click "Ok" 200+ times is a Bad Idea (tm).

Deliver the HTML and JavaScript to the browser, and use the JavaScript to "time" your print jobs.

I hope this helps better explain why everybody was saying "It's not a PHP issue -- It's JavaScript"

PS I also know that sitting there and clicking "Ok" 200+ times on the print dialogs is sheer torture. If you're only torturing yourself, go ahead, but if it's a real user, or an employee, don't count on them doing the job right.

Good Luck!

Wild Guess:

Somewhere, you have something like this:

echo "<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=hello VALUE=$hello>"; (Where $hello is your variable with "Hello World" in it.)

This turns into this in the HTML

Which, in HTML terms, means that "World" is part of the *TAG*, not the data -- It's an attribute, because there is a space and no quotes around your data.

You need to convince the HTML to look like this:

so the PHP should be:

echo "<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=hello VALUE=\"$hello\">";

And, just in case $hello might some day contain < or > or " or & or anything else that has special meaning in HTML, it should *really* be this:

echo "<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=hello VALUE=\"", htmlentities($hello), "\">";

I don't think so.

Apache 1.x was designed to "hand off" the URL to one, and only one, CGI or Handler pre-processor.

Only with Apache 2.x can you "stack" handlers. I dunno if Apache 2.x lets you mix&match CGI with Handlers, though.

Since *NONE* of $_GET $_POST or $_COOKIE can be trusted, I don't think any combination of them should be trusted.

$_REQUEST is useful when you con't *CARE* if the data came from GET/POST, and have a script that accepts either.

I have written several such scripts, and the interface of one site/application accesses it with GET, and the other with POST, and I really don't give a [bleep] whether the incoming data is GET or POST.

It's all coming from the Internet and is not to be trusted.

Forging a POST is not significantly more "tricky" than changing a URL.

Just do "Save As..." HTML from somebody's site, change the HTML FORM elements, and then open the local file in your browser and POST away.

I've even used this technique to make use of "broken" sites simply by providing the FORM elements they forgot that their processing script told me it needed.

In addition to needing session_start() in page 2, you simply cannot reliably use session_start() which sends a Cookie and a Location: to the browser.

You're going to have to send your data as GET data, or not do all those header("Location: ...") calls, and just combine the three scripts into one.

let you get away with setting the cookies for the "other" site?

Surely not, or you could wipe out other site's cookies, or worse, replace them with hacker data...

But 5 minutes will tell you for sure...

Hey, but all those stupid "Banner Ad" sites give me a cookie from the *other* guy's site.

All ya gotta do is have three invisible GIFs on all three sites that come from the *other* sites and the GIF does the set_cookie() of whatever their user ID is.

I'm guessing these are coming from MySQL... If so, you can subtract the two in MySQL much easier/faster than PHP...

http://mysql.com/

If not:

$s = mktime(substr($Start, 8, 2), substr($Start, 10, 2), substr($Start, 12, 2), substr($Start, 4, 2), substr($Start, 6, 2), substr($Start, 0, 4)); $e = mktime(substr($End, 8, 2), substr($End, 10, 2), substr($End, 12, 2), substr($End, 4, 2), substr($End, 6, 2), substr($End, 0, 4));

$delta = $e - $s;

At this point, it boils down to the question -- Will it ever be, like, *DAYS* instead of hours, or, more importantly, *MONTHS*?

Because as soon as you get into "months" or larger time units, it gets complicated...

Until then, you can divide by 60, or 60*60, or 60*60*24 to get the number of minutes, hours, days respectively...

PHP is already started, and going, and reading your HTML.

It only has to notice when you have <?php and start paying a little more attention instead of just spewing out the HTML it encounters.

The context change from HTML mode to PHP mode is a negligible, practically un-measurable performance hit.

I switch back/forth way more than 20 times in most scripts.

Rule of Thumb: 90% of your script's time is being spent in 10% of the code.

If it's "too slow" figure out where that 90% is, and optimize that.

Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that in the web...

That 90% might all be in MySQL, or in the network congestion, or in your messed-up reverse DNS lookup, or...

But, still, if you've narrowed the speed problem down to PHP itself, then start figuring out where it's spending all its time *before* you change a line of code.

If it's not "too slow" don't even worry about performance, unless you are actually working on a site that is likely to balloon into millions of users or whatever.

Even then -- only testing *YOUR* site, and *YOUR* set up will find the 90% reliably.

Aside from the fact that this has _nothing_ to do with php, you would most likely get a better response from the php-db list where, hopefully, the sql experts hangout.

PHP-script or not, it's still an SQL-query, right?

you might want to take the sign off the connection step to get the error message. Looks like you did not connect at all but got no warning because you told your function to keep shut.

At that point you cannot query anything, but you cannot know about it.

Despite all downfalls of using IP addresses, if you are in North America most people in a University or business environment use a fast connection (DSL or Cable) you may choose to use the following chunk of code to retrieve someone's IP number

I am trying to use the mbstring library so I can receive user input in japanese and then put it into my pgsql DB. But the documentation is really sparse and sometimes confusing.

I can't understand some of the functions provided by mbstring or it's settings in php.ini. Some functions/settings don't seem to do what they say or the explanation of how to use them is missing.

For example I tought internal_encoding was used along with --enable-mbstring-enc-trans so that any input would be automatically converted to the internal encoding.

But it is isn't. When I check what charset POST data is in it is always in the charset the user used, never in the internal_encoding charset. I have to manually convert myself using mbstring functions.

I guess I don't understand what the settings of mbstring in php.ini and at compile time really do.

Can someone explain to me what is the use of:

--enable-mbstring-enc-trans at compile time mb_http_input() mb_http_output() mb_internal_encoding() mb_language() mb_output_handler()

Thanks!

I wasn't in the office hence haven't visited this group for a while... Here's an idea though I still may not understand the whole situation but from what I think it is here goes:

I guess you will have to mix javascript and php in the following manner... use onclick for a particular HTML variable and create a function in Java Script that runs when you click this and returns true or writes to an HTML variable say input type= hidden name=hasClicked value=false... the HTML value will give this hidden variable the value true when clicked otherwise it will be defaulted at false... You can use document.write.formName.hasClicked.value = true...

Then continue with:

if($hasClicked == "true") Run the Script... This will mean your script won't run until OK is pressed...

I hope this helps and I hope its not too late...

I am making a stats program.

When the nessicary include file is included it does a reverse-DNS lookup to find the remote host's DNS name. The problem with this is that is seems slow(at least on my test server with a DSL connection). I thought the best way to speed things up would be putting the entire script into a file and then using <img src="stats.php"> within the page. The problem is that I don't know how to output the image with PHP.

The image would not be dynamic just a file on the server.

I would appreciate peoples comments or other suggestions

HI,

I just joined the list - reviewed the archives, and found that Chip Weigand (2002-07-05) entered a problem with php_functions.c in the ~/php-4.2.1/sapi/apache2filter directory.

I have a similar situation - my error:

php_functions.c:93:27: missing binary operator before '!' make[3]: *** [php_functions.lo] Error 1

Same line as Chip's compile failure.

I'm running gcc 3.0.4 under Solaris 8. I'm not sure if this is a gcc issue or just the syntax of line 93 in php_functions.c.

Has anyone else had a problem with this in compiling php4.2.1?

In that case, the question marks are part of the PHP opening and closing tags.

There are several ways to open and close sections of PHP script, mainly being <?php ?>, <? ?>, and <% %>. What the below equals is <?php echo $parent; ?>, since <?= is the equivalent of saying "echo" or "print" the following.

Hope that wasn't too jumbled. :o)

What if they pretend your card has been denied with a code which requires them to destroy the card? They certainly won't give it back, and they'll be able to copy the numbers down at their leisure.

You can play 'what if' until the cows come home. That doesn't change the fact that the *VAST* majority of stolen credit card information was *NOT* stolen as a result of an online transaction. Most are stolen through much more mundane methods, like 'shoulder surfing' at the register, or a waiter copying the info while they're away from the table. I don't shop at b&m shops that I don't feel I can trust, any more than I shop at e-sites that I don't feel I can trust. I don't trust *ANY* e-site that isn't willing to go to the effort to properly protect the transaction (certificates from a trusted CA, encrypted communication, reasonable security efforts, etc.).

Properly signed certificates don't prove the vendor is trustworthy. They provide some sound evidence that the vendor is who they say they are. A self-signed certificate doesn't say anything except that they say they are who they say they are. The encryption provides a reasonable guarantee that nobody except you and the vendor will be able to see your transaction.

The reason more CC fraud happens online isn't that more info is stolen there. It's that the vendor has no way of knowing that YOU are who you say you are. Thousands of sets of credit card info are stolen every day *offline*. You don't hear about it because it happens in ways that are impossible to detect. Some vendor's online site gets hacked, and you hear about it because it could be detected.

Everybody gets a limited amount of trust extended to them, for "free"

That amount is NOWHERE NEAR the trust where I hand them my credit card number.

Do you hand your credit-card to random people in the street?

With a brick-and-mortar retail establishment, I can tell a lot from location, size, even the "look" of the store -- I also know, right off the bat, that they've invested a *TON* of money and won't be able to make it back in a short-time con.

With a web-site, I can tell: They paid $119 to somebody for the CA. They paid $20/month or so to somebody else. They maybe paid somebody to design/build the site, or a turn-key system, or...

That really doesn't tell me a whole lot.

I don't know:

They aren't storing my credit card number in their database "just temporarily" while we process it. [I've had to fix this error a couple times myself, and I hate doing shopping carts. Too boring. I quit doing them. I can't imagine how many times a shopping cart "regular" has walked into this situation.]

They aren't using a badly-designed system where my CC# appears in "ps auxwwww" output.

They aren't using a badly-designed system where the CC# is stored on the disk during processing. [Hint -- Last I checked, Linkpoint's PHP interface did this. Guess what happens when you get a network time out or the script fails for some reason? Your CC# is left hanging around in that file. Sure, if the instructions were followed, only root can read it... If the server hasn't been hacked. If, if, if...]

The scripts that process my CC # have correct permissions, and are accessible only to one, okay, *two* people to avoid somebody inserting a back-door.

The list of failure points is endless, and I *STILL* don't even trust that randomsite.com has had any kind of background check carried out by the people issuing Certifcates. Jeez, people -- We're talking one of the major players is MICROSOFT! Do you trust them with Security?!

I've seen too many bad home-brew shopping carts to have any faith in them. I still shop on-line, but rely on the fact that I can only get dinged for $50, and we'll all be paying even higher interest rates next year. I have no trust that my CC# isn't being exposed.

>>>The more I think about this, the more I agree with people who just won't do >eCommerce at all...<<

Hey, I'm not saying I don't shop on-line. I'm saying I have no faith that I won't be calling up the credit card company and canceling the stolen account much faster than at a traditional store.

I have no faith that the e-theft of credit cards won't raise my interest rates.

The CC companies have already proven that they will accept an inordinately high level of theft and just pass on the cost to consumers. What do they care what your interest rates are?

Are you compiling php with the --with-gd=shared option?

Personally (Solaris 8, gcc 2.95.3 , php 4.1.1 and later) I've never been able to get the gd shared object to work (gd.so load errors), so I've always ended up compiling it into PHP.

All,

I have a page on our intranet site that is pulling an image from our corporate web server. The corporate server & the image I am accessing is beyond my control. The image is generated daily and appears to be named with a timestamp in the file name so therefore the image name changes daily.

On my site I have the page to check if a cookie exists with the image's file name. If the cookie is set then the page will create the IMAGE tag using the file name specified in the cookie. If the cookie value is not set then the code will go open the web page on the corporate server, dump the page's content into an array, and then the array is parsed until a known string is found and then the image file name can be pulled out and displayed.

Currently the code I have is working. However, I know that it can/needs to be improved but I'm not sure what/how to go about implementing the following improvements:

1) If the image file name doesn't exist go to the corporate web server, access the page, and parse the page contents until we find the image. The problem I currently have is that the page on the corporate site is huge with several hundred lines of html in the page and the image I need to access is closer to the bottom of the page. How do I walk through the contents of the page searching for the image starting further down the page than from the beginning if the page?

2) Is there a better way of trying to find/strip the image name in the page contents than by using the strpos & substr functions? If so how?

3) Once I've found the image file name, is there then some way that I can download the image from the corporate site to our local site? If so, how do I do this? If I can download the image locally, then I can rewrite the code to check for the existence of the file locally before going out and accessing the corporate site every time.

Code is below. Thanks in advance

Help! I was using FastTemplates on my local machine AND on my personal server and it all worked well. When I am uploading the code to my client's server today, I get this strange warning whenever using FastTemplates:

Warning: Invalid content of \{\} in /home/httpd/includes/fasttemplate.class.php on line 199

I get about 50 lines like this. A google search shows other sites have had the same problem with FastTemplates: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22Invalid+content%22 But a search on the php.net site didn't give any results.

In the code, line 199 of fasttemplate.class.php is empty, followed by the following code:

function utime ()

{

$time = explode( " ", microtime());

$usec = (double)$time[0];

$sec = (double)$time[1];

return $sec + $usec;

}

I really am stuck: this didn't happen on my local machine or on my test server, it's happening on the client's machine now and they are expecting the site today and I have no idea what's wrong. We've had problems with permissions on their server, maybe that has something to do with it???? I'm no sysadmin and the sysadmin they use doesn't know much.

Any ideas on what to do?? I really need to fix this asap - help! Peter

Thanx...

attached mail follows:

$hFile = fopen($PathToFile,'r'); $File = fread($hFile, $SizeOfLargestImageYouHave); fclose($hFile); $HexVal = bin2hex($File);

This doesn't do any error checking or stripping of image headers that may be necessary; you'll have to use string functions (eg; substr() or maybe regexps) to do that.

Hi!

I've been using PHP to write shell scripts and was wondering how to implement the following:

- I have a menuing system - If a user does not give an input within a certain amount of time, I want it to go to a default value

I checked the PHP functions page and the closest thing I found was "sleep" which isn't quite right. I'm sure this is a common thing, so does anyone have any suggestions? Again, this is a terminal program and not a web CGI.

While I have your attention, I also wanted to create one of those "spinners" while users wait for longer tasks to complete. I tried using the ncurses stuff to print and erase characters, but it didn't seem to work. What is a good way to create a "spinner" so that users know that the program is working.

For those who don't know what I mean, I'm thinking of something like...

- (backspace) \ (backspace) | (backspace) / (backspace) etc. etc.

Well, the problem is this. I work for an all-Microsoft company that is currently being forced to take on a number of Linux servers. They have this framework that allows for the automated installation and configuration of servers based on a number of Windows 2000 staging servers and a SQL server. The problem? They want the same framework to build out Linux servers as well.

So basically I had to find a way to get these Linux servers to talk to the existing framework. It didn't seem so bad at first, but I had a hell of a time getting the Linux box to talk to the MS SQL server. ODBC didn't seem to work nor did the variety of Perl modules that I tried. The only thing I got to work was PHP (Sybase) and FreeTDS. I really wanted to do this in Perl, but alas, I'm forced to do it in PHP.

That's the story. ;-)

Hello, I have a couple of questions with respect to creating a postal / zip code proximity search that is remotely accurate. The system I am using now is OK for small distances, but is terrible at calculating large distances.

What I have is a database of establishments and their corresponding latitudes and longitudes, and I need to have users enter their own postal / zip code, and have the system calculate which establishments fall into a set range ($range) from their location. Not only does it need to find the establishments, it needs to calculate the distances (straight line, of course).

Now, I have dug through the PHP archives, but there is no single clear explanation of how to do this, from beginning to end. I will start by putting down what I need, and then maybe other people can contribute to this and in the end we will have the solution, nice and tidy, in one place.

*** NOTE: I know doing this in PHP will be SLOW, but I do not want to write a MySQL user-defined function and recompile it and blah, blah, blah... (unless someone wants to cover that aspect!!! :D)

Step 1: Take the postal / zip code that the user entered, and search the national postal / zip code database (which I already have) and return its corresponding latitude and longitude ($userLat and $userLong).

Step 2: ???

Step 3: Return the establishments information to the user, complete with the distances to them, ordered by smallest distance to largest.

If you can't help me out, maybe you can direct me to some online tutorials on this topic!

Thanks in Advance!

One suggestion is to use the geo functionality of Postgres....

We use postgres to calculate city, state, and/or country by using the geo functions in postgresql.

I would really suggest using postgres for your calculations.

You can pass the lat and long and have postgres give you the intersection of these and reference a table that has the zip codes....

I don't know what you mean by straight line. AFAIK all of this will be as "the crow flies".

The following came from Jann Linder of cgi-list fame and it worked for me. Odd, I used it in PostgreSQL not knowing that there was something homegrown.

SELECT /*+FIRST_ROWS */ o.zip, (3956 * (2 * ASIN(SQRT( POWER(SIN(((z.latitude-o.latitude)*0.017453293)/2),2) + COS(z.latitude*0.017453293) * COS(o.latitude*0.017453293) * POWER(SIN(((z.longitude-o.longitude)*0.017453293)/2),2) )))) dist FROM zipcodes z, zipcodes o WHERE z.zip=94112 AND (3956 * (2 * ASIN(SQRT( POWER(SIN(((z.latitude-o.latitude)*0.017453293)/2),2) + COS(z.latitude*0.017453293) * COS(o.latitude*0.017453293) * POWER(SIN(((z.longitude-o.longitude)*0.017453293)/2),2) )))) < 5 order by dist; CREATE TABLE zipcodes ( recordid int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, zip varchar(5) NOT NULL default '', state char(2) NOT NULL default '', city varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', longitude double NOT NULL default '0', latitude double NOT NULL default '0', sure tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (recordid), KEY idx_zip(zip), KEY idx_state(state), KEY idx_city(city), KEY idx_latitude(latitude), KEY idx_longitude(longitude), KEY idx_sure(sure) ) TYPE=MyISAM;

I would suggest a creative solution of stealing MapQuest's distance calculations somehow. Or maybe just do a comparison query, like try and match all digits of the postal code and this will be closest, then match all but the last digit, then all but the last two, and so on, this will give you a list of address's with increasing distance.

Yes, you forgot reading the instructions :) You are missing these lines:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I've been trying and trying to get my site to work lately and all but one part does. Of course that one part is the most important part (it always is).

My problem is probably rather simple to most of you, but I don't know how to get around it: My script does not have permissions to write/append files or just flat out create the files; it can read any files (accessed "files//nameoffile.xml"). Originally I was working with text files, but that didn't work either (and had the exact same problems).

So my question is this: how do I get my script to have permissions to write or append to any file?

So here's what I'm trying to do:

I have a form submitting dozens of variables called var1, var2, var3, ...... and on and on.

I want to check the value of each of these variables:

for($i = 1;$i < 100; $i++) { if($var$i > 0) echo "Yup. $var$i is greater than 0"; }

I get a parse error when trying to run this code. Can I not use $i to call the $var1, $var2, etc. variables? Is there another way of doing this?

Thanks,

Joseph

It's called Variable Variables.

for($i = 1; $i < 100; $i++) { $varname = "var" . $i; if($$varname > 0) echo "Yup."; }

Do it like this:

for ($i = 1; $i < 100; $i++) { if (${"var$i"} > 0) { echo "Yup, $var$1 is greate than 0"; } }

You would have to set up a dummy variable to hold the value of two concatenated variable names. I'd love to write an example, but work is draggin' me down, sorry!

Thanks folks. Worked like a charm

Why not just make the form's input names "var[]" then PHP will make them into an array:

for ($i = 1; $i < 100; $i++) { if ($var[$i -1] > 0) echo "Yup. ". $var[$i - 1] ." is greater than 0."; }

Hello,

this will not work, but what you can do is this:

$ser = serialize($this); echo "<a href="foo.php?this=$ser">Bar</a>\n";

and then do this in foo.php: $object = deserialize($_GET['this']);

Another way could be to use sessions, which will be a lot easier to work with in this case. (http://www.php.net/session_start)

This won't work, you must register it within a session, just remember to declare the class befor session_start()
