The way you set things up, $status is the last line of text returned by
executing the command. Add the return_var argument to your system()
statement. Take a look at the manual again.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php

You can only make an accurate if() statement if you know what the values
are you're expecting.

Now, do some hacking. Set up the test to fail. Echo $status and $return
to the screen and see what they look like. Set up the test to succeed.
What do $status and $return look like then?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Could not get the output (success or failure) assigned to a variable in front of the system call but got it to assign a 0 (success) or 1 (failure) to the return_var argument as you suggested so I am happy.

<?php

system("mysql -u myuserid -pmypassword mydbname < /path/to/mydumpfile.txt", $status);

if($status == 1){ echo 'Failed'; } else { echo 'Success'; }

What mixed me up and I still don't understand is the manual entry for system() says ...

"Returns the last line of the command output on success, and FALSE on failure."

When it says it "Returns", where does it return this information and how can it be captured for comparison? The return_var appears to only return a 0 or a 1. I thought I could capture it by assigning the system call to a variable in front but that appears to capture nothing on success or failure.

The thing that's tripping you up is, I believe, executing MySQL programs at a prompt doesn't produce any visible output. But, if you executed a command that returns some output to STDOUT, like "ls", you'd see the last line of output therefrom in the "Return."

--Dan

attached mail follows:

Try using backticks, and you don't need spaces after -u and -p

$result = `MySQL -uuser -ppassword databasename < filename.sql`

Note that if it succeeds, nothing will be returned. Same as when you run the command on the command line.

Hello everybody:

sorry for this kind of off topic question. I hope that someone might point me into the right direction.

I am operating a web portal and think about advertisement. Unfortunatelly I do not have any idea how to start this. First off all how does the client know how many banner views happend? I mean there must be a system which is proving how often. And second off all how to find the right sponsors fitting to the site.

Maybe someone knows a third party company which does this for a fee.

Has anybody a good hint?

Thank you in advance.

phpAdsNew can be found on SourceForge here:

I've been using it in production for over a year now, and have found it to be quite a handy program.

He is lucky we have all to much to do in our lives anyway :) But if anyone has got spare time... the guy's mailbox (unlike most russian public mail servers) *will* accept mail from a dial-up SMTP server having f**k.you (or whatever, just take the ** off and replace with proper coding) as an host name. I just happened to check ;)

Not that I was willing to. But we are having SMTP problems so I just send the mail from the SMTP rauuning on the box I sit at while the trouble gets solved.

Western addresses will get it (including our friend's address and this list) while my own address returns me the mail saying that "no, you cannot just login from a dial-up and pretend you were an internet server. Now your server is blacklisted" LOL

My 2 kopeki (cents). :)

Hi all... If you read the latest post from me you will see that it was my intention when creating a looping mail sender. The post was called mail() function. Although I took it off after sending him like 25.000.000 mails that where called Hi0, Hi1, Hi2, Hi3, etc. The sender and the subject also increased by a number in order to difficult him the task of blocking the sender.

I took it off because I guessed I could get into trouble and because I though that he would have killed his account by then.

The only problem I see in your scripts, is that the server will time out after a couple of thousand emails. I figure it out when sending 10.000.000 at one ;)

What just a slap together of how we could make him crazy... but now that someone has pointed out to us that his mailbox is now full to he can't even unsubscribe from the list LOL WOOPS...

We need to find out how to breakup the mailserver calls into 1000 emails sent every second and pause the server request... then the server is sure not to timeout.....

Hello,

I want to add a set of values to the session variable $BOOKS. This is the code which I used.

if($BOOKS=="") { #this seems to be the first book which the user has selected $BOOKS = $bookid; #this param comes from the URL } else { $BOOKS = $BOOKS+","+$bookid; }

Here the 'if..' part gets executed, and because of that I cannot add details of another book. I have initialised the session and added the registered the value "BOOKS" in the previous page.

Thanks in advance, Sachin.

It would be better to use POST operation like <FORM ACTION="checkpassword.php" METHOD="POST>

It is a couple of seconds slow.

Treating the file as an image means that the rest of the page can still load while it is doing the reverse DNS lookup and executing the script.

IMHO java is to be avoided. fullstop. Still, it might be unavoidable from a commercial point of view. In that case, you should avoid being involved in the project and let the marketing dept have their fun on their own.

There's a lot of pleasantly paid jobs that won't kill your nerves on this planet. Whatever you say now *you* will be responsible for it. So keep away from suicidal attempts.

Java *may* properly work (but it will never work half as fast as PHP will) but you are not going to find an adequate number of skilled resources to make that happen.

And when your unproper underpaid resources will turn your java soup into a sloooow boiling mess, guess who will pay for that? Got a mirror home? :)

I saw a project based on IBM San Francisco last ONE YEAR before being thrown out of the window (along with its manager). The best result of the project was in that it could query a table of 500 rows in only... 45 seconds. New olympic record.

And no, I was not the manager. My spider sense told me to keep well away from it :)

Php vs. Java? Why not work together.

copy from manual: " There are two possible ways to bridge PHP and Java: you can either integrate PHP into a Java Servlet environment, which is the more stable and efficient solution, or integrate Java support into PHP. The former is provided by a SAPI module that interfaces with the Servlet server, the latter by the Java extension.

PHP 4 ext/java provides a simple and effective means for creating and invoking methods on Java objects from PHP. The JVM is created using JNI, and everything runs in-process. Build instructions for ext/java can be found in php4/ext/java/README. "

Well, such stuff needs NOT security, nedless to say. But *any* site needs to work properly. Besides, having the register_globals off does not require gigantic mental efforts to get your values.

Personally I think that a register_globals off environment is educative, in that it forces you to think about the way data gets passed a bit more than usually. And an aware programmer is better then one who just "believes" in the fact that his next script is gonna get the stuff it needs.

But whether you have your register_globals on or off variable content validation is still up to your own code, and that's where 99% of security lies. Blocking the globals just bloks anyone from poisoning an *internal* variable of your scripts, legally passed values must be validated as they where before.

Hi,

Anyone know how long the developers is from a finale release that support Apache 2?

Please advice!

Regards,

Johan

attached mail follows:

Who knows when they'll officially state that PHP runs on Apache2 - I've been running it for a while now without much trouble (4.2.1 + 2.0.36/2.0.39) - the only problem that I've really seen (though not been affected by) is that multiple cookies seem to break - only the last cookie is set (obviously overwriting the previous cookie headers) but PHP know about this and it should be fixed in the next release (it's probably fixed in CVS already).

I've not found any problems with the common compiled extensions. (check http://phpinfo.kyboshed.com [anon/badpassword] for a list of the ones I'm running)

If I were running a full scale production server I might think differently and run with Apache 1.3.26 but I'm not, just a pro-development server.

HTH

OK This is a followon from my Browser thread... on php-generallists.php.net; php-windowslists.php.net

I have switched the application to run from Apache, and the Browsers that were having trouble now seem (I think - will be doing more testing later) to have dissapeared.

So, is there a problem with IIS or PHP or IIS with PHP?

Okay here is what I want to do.

Select the field of a database that I want. Hit submit. Execute a query of a database based on the said form. Gather all the data and rows and plug them into an excel generated file.

Make sense?

Would the header calls be something like this? header("Content-type: application/xls"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.xls");

Now if that is cool, how would I get the data into the downloaded.xls file to have this work?

1) Save the data as a comma-separated list (pap.data.csv). 2) make an excel macro that will load it into a preexisting sheet and treat it 3) put the macro as the auto starter of the sheet.

Hi all. I got a little carried away when discussing the past subject called *is <http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=102609800510170&w=2> their a jobs mailing list?* started by Peter J. <mailto:peterschoenster.com> Schoenster and started building a site like Brian McGarvie <mailto:bmcgarvielennox-mckinlay.co.uk> suggested. I know most of you people are very busy right now, but some of us aren’t. Is there any of you interested in seeing it and maybe (if lucky I am) collaborate with ideas, thoughts, comments or maybe even be a co-founder while teaming up with me as a group for this. Any one interested can go to http://www.icaam.com.ar/proyects/os-seek/ and see what I’ve done so far. Since I started today, the links won’t work yet nor the map or the search engine (just the template) in order to make the required adjustments to the look & feel of the site before it’s too late ;) I made it using a sort-of-self kind of template to facilitate later changes. After I get some sleep and heard some news from all of you who are interested, I’ll make the code available. Also, I want to make some kind of a mailing list just for this purpose. Maybe also a development forum inside the project’s site. I called it os-seek.org because it is available and can change to .com if necessary.

I'm trying to do a little trick with my new site. i have one main php script, index.php which includes the header and footer scripts and the page script between them. the page script is determined by $page, which is set to "main" if it doesnt exist already. $page . ".php" is then included. I have one other page so far, "datetime.php". I wanted to let datatime run itself by including the headers and footers on its own if it wasnt included by index.php. so, i add this to the top and similar code at the bottom (replaced header with footer):

<? if (!$page=="datetime") // Not using index.php { include("header.php"); } ?>

this code works when datetime.php is included by index.php, but on its own the script just outputs <html><body></body></html>. Even ignoring the xhtml code outside the php code in the file. its like the entire file is ignored. i really have no clue why. anyone else have one?

attached mail follows:

I don't understand quite well your question, but I guess you are trying to include a page inside other pages containing just a script that shows up the actual Date and Time... Well, you could simplify this just by making a finction called i.e. datetime() and call it from wherever you want.

It that's the case, do this in other page or inside any of your pages (i.e. main.php):

function datetime() { echo date ("D, jS F Y \a\t G:i:s"); }

This code is UNTESTED... I forgot if I have to put a backslash (\) before the : in the time part ;)

Before using a variable (in a comparison or wherever) you should make sure it *does* exist.

try

if (isset($page) && !($page=="datetime")) // Not using index.php { include("header.php"); }

Calvin,

this: (!$page=="datetime")

(as I interpret it, that means if $page is false, and it's equal to datetime (which should, in this context, also be false))....

looks like it should read: ($page!="datetime")

in PHP we have a set of comparison operators going like

$a == $b (has same value) $a === $b (has same value and type)

shouldn't we have also something like $a =&= $b (is same instance)?

Maybe we already have it and I just don't know about it. Is that so? Because of the copy/reference mechanism it would really be helpful in order to check one's work in referencing objects.

No, not spam (unless you define "spam" as what everyone else is doing - sending receipts).

Send reply receipts all you want ($deity knows I am <g />), and setting something up to bounce his messages back to him'd be great, but in both cases he "asked" for them - he specifically requested the receipts, and he's been spamming the list so it's only fair he receives the bounces.

But if we resort to our own, separate spamming campaign we're as bad as him.

Dont think it a php.ini file.

First of all. Remember to set the cookie before any other headers is sent to the browser.

Do you remember to reload the page after the cookie is sent? (some browser cant see the cookie at the page it sent but first after it have been reloaded!).

Else? Please post an URL to your source, or post some sources here!

Are your sure about your browser settings? Do your denied websites to set cookies?

1) users may block your cookie. 2) browsers (they often do) may not respond properly to a setcookie() command when it specifies more than just name and value for the cookie (that is, when you set an expiration date or limit your cookie's visibility scope to a subdirectory)

If you have problem 1 there's nothing you can do. Change strategy. No user will be able to log to your system if they don't accept cookies.

If that happens to you when debugging and you know your browser *does* accept cookies, then try and send the cookie in the headers instead of using setcookie()

Like this:

// send/refresh cookie $time = mktime()+ YourCookieLifeTimeInDays*86400; $date = date("l, d-M-y H:i:s", ($time)); header("Set-Cookie: yourCookieName=Y; expires=$date GMT");

I've been on the list for about two months, and it's the first time *I've* seen it happen. Usually the real morons stick to newsgroups :-).

The list really can be a valuable resource (I don't know much PHP, so I don't contribute often - but I read a lot of it), so I'd urge you not to unsubscribe. Or, if you do unsubscribe, to wait out until Erik is likely to have finally worked out how to leave, then re-subscribe.

If you can't bring yourself to do this, then at least get into contact with Richard Lynch and John Holmes (if they're willing) - they seem to be the most helpful and knowledgeable contributors :o).

HELLO,

I just installed PHP 4.2.1. I am using a Redhat 7.3, installed as server with Apache.

My problem is I can t compile it as a module for Apache :

./configure --with-apache=/usr/include/apache

configure: error: Invalid Apache directory - unable to find httpd.h under /usr/include/apache

But hhtpd.h is really under /usr/inclu/apache [rootlocalhost php-4.2.1]# slocate httpd.h /usr/include/apache/httpd.h

Any idea ?

Try:

--with-apache=/usr/include OR --with-apache=/usr

But you're better off using apxs instead:

--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

Obviously the path to apxs on your system may differ.

Hello,

I just installed PHP 4.2.1. I am using a Redhat 7.3, installed as server with Apache. I went to setup a distributed IDS (SNORT/MySQL/PHP/ACID).

My second problem is the connection with my MySQL DB.

./configure --with-mysql

./configure --with-mysql --with-gd=../gd-1.8.4 --enable-sockets --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf --enable-track-vars

[rootlocalhost php-4.2.1]# ./configure --with-mysql | grep mysql checking for MySQL UNIX socket... /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock fastgen.sh: creating ext/mysql/Makefile fastgen.sh: creating ext/mysql/libmysql/Makefile

The compilation with mysql seems fine. But when I check my Web page (Acid)

PHP ERROR: PHP build incomplete: the prerequisite MySQL support required to read the alert database was not built into PHP. Please recompile PHP with the necessary library (--with-mysql)

What can I do ?

Hi,

Do anybody know a work a round for this:

<?php

class test { function test() { $globals['test2'] = &$this; } }

$test1 = new test();

The problem hier is that $globals['test2'] is a copy of $globals['test1'] not a references.

Anybody an idee?

It is, but you are looking in the wrong direction. the copy is in test1, test2 holds the reference.

This should work:

<?php > > class test { > function &test() { > $globals['test2'] = &$this; > } > } > > $test1 = new test(); > > ?>

To output a reference instead of a copy a function *must* be declared with an &. Not sure whether you might also need it here:

$test1 = new &test();

check it out

i simpley put an cookie with :

setcookie("gfo_cms" ,$sessid , '');

and i read it with :

if (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["gfo_cms"])) { $sessid = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["gfo_cms"]; if (!check_valid_sessid($sessid)) { login_form(); } if (!check_ip($sessid, $REMOTE_ADDR)) { login_form(); } $rights = get_user_rights($sessid); $user_id = get_userid_from_sessid($sessid);

} if (!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["gfo_cms"])) { login_form(); }

the last code looks if the cookie exists ... but it look likes it won't even create the cookie

an idea's ?

My experience with cookies is really unhappy. I've once developed a website that needed to store information. I though hey cookies are the quicker option.... to hell with sessions.

Now today.... after all of my problems with the cookies environment i've turned back to sessions. Sessions can store a much higher amount of data... and that doesn't have to rely on the client browser either.

I mean if i visit a site that needs to have cookies enabled... i'm pretty stuffed.... I can't see nothing but if the site uses sessions dam i'm organized....

If you feel you have too many problems with cookies.... refer back to sessions it's the best option... well that i've come down to.

Hi all. I’m trying to figure out how to do a search trough a MySQL db using LIKE or = but the thing is that I have 3 select boxes from where to choose the search terms. Can I use something like a wildcard instead of making several IF statements like this?

Ok. Maybe I didn't express myself well (must be the 3-4 days awake ;)

No, I don't have an example on-line 'couse this is something I'll start doing in a few days or hours. Well, just what it will probably be the search options at: http://www.icaam.com.ar/proyects/os-seek/ which I posted a few hours ago.

What I want, is to let the visitor search for an OS developer by WORK-AROUND and/or LANGUAGE and/or LOCATION and have just ONE static query to handle all this. The thing is that if I make the query like this:

SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE col1 = $elect1 AND col2 = $select2 AND col3 = $select3

I think maybe the script will go nuts if no option was selected (remember the and/or?). So I figured out that maybe by telling HTML that the default value of each SELECT box is % (or any kind of wildcard) the query might run as predicted. Does this makes ant sense now?

Please go to the site I've mentioned before and afterwards (if have the time and will) go back a couple of dozens post back and read the post called *MORE WORK FOR US I HOPE* so you have a more clear understanding of what my need will be.

Theres no point selecting on a value if they've not specified one. The following code should generate a valid query, assumin that the default value for each value select value is an empty string:

$query = "SELECT * FROM table_name ";

$where_string = "WHERE "; $and = ""; if ($select1 != "") { $where_string .= $and."col1 = '".addslashes($select1)."'"; $and = " AND "; } if ($select2 != "") { $where_string .= $and."col2 = '".addslashes($select2)."'"; $and = " AND "; } if ($select3 != "") { $where_string .= $and."col3 = '".addslashes($select3)."'"; $and = " AND "; }

if ($where_string != "WHERE ") { $query .= $where_string; }

And then run the query as normal.

Thanks everyone for your attention but still at the 1st step. What I want (not need but want) is to keep my code as short as possible for future referencing from others. Looking at some on-line manuals I found this just now:

(^|[^a-zA-Z])foo([^a-zA-Z]|$)

which Works if you want to find "foo" in "foo bar", "bar foo", "bar foo bar", or "foo" but NOT in "foobar" or "barfoo".

I guess that just by taking out the *foo* word between them can make it work for quite a useful wildcard. What do you think pals?

Cesar,

Yes, its: select * from table_name where col1 like '%' and col2 like '%' and col3 like '%'; As your default is %, then this is easy.

Its all in the mysql manual, Section 6.3.2.1 String Comparison Functions.

Of course not on an open list that's crossed to the newsgroups ...

However, there's a "deny" list on ezmlm that the moderator can add addresses to. As a manager of a number of ezmlm mailing lists I've done that - which really infuriates the "spammers" - they still get the posts until they unsubscribe (or ask me to help them) but they can't post in the meantime.

There are times, especially when someone's changed email addresses but has forwarding, or whose mail system doesn't believe that any email address should be longer than (some number of characters), when it is difficult or impossible for someone to unsubscribe. In that case the list owner gets involved.

when your instances contain references and you prepare ther references in the constructor, you should remember to call the *new* function with an &.

You may have to drop down to C/C++ and ask the OS to lookup the short version of the path for you (GetShortPathName and GetShortPathNameW). But if you want to do it "by hand", Knowledge Base article Q142982 might be a place to start.

The function below assumes that the path contains backslashes (not forward slashes). It also does not verify that the path is legal in the first place (i.e. that it doesn't contain illegal characters). Additionally, it doesn't deal with filenames, just directory names. Maybe you can extend to handle filenames. :)

One last thing. You can't really create a function like this without accessing the filesystem that these files are going to be stored on. For example, let's say you have a file called "my resume.doc" The DOS equivalent to this would be "myresu~1.doc" UNLESS there was already another file in the same directory that had that DOS name. So, let's say there was already another file by the name of "my results.doc" in the directory. Then your "my resume.doc" would be called "myresu~2.doc" The function below does not account for this.

Come to think of it, maybe this isn't all that helpful. :-P

function fullpath2dospath ($fullpath) {

if(preg_match("/^([A-Za-z]:)(.*)$/",$fullpath)) { $driveletter = $matches[1]; $fullpath = $matches[2]; }

$dirs = explode("\",$fullpath);

foreach($dirs as $index => $dir) { /* Directory only needs to be modified if it contains spaces or is longer than 8 characters */ if(strlen($dir) > 8 || strpos($dir," ")) { $dir = strtr($dir," ",""); $dir = substr($dir,0,6); $dirs[$index] = $dir."~1"; } }

$dospath = $driveletter.implode("\",$dirs); return $dospath;

The problem with this method is assuming the ~1 part. What if I have:

It's nothing to do with speed... Windows uses (used?) a hack to introduce long filename support while not breaking 8.3 filenames, and it stores both on the disc. If you had three files named :

LongFilenameA.dat LongFilenameB.dat LongFilenameC.dat

they would be converted to

LongFi~1.dat LongFi~2.dat LongFi~3.dat

but you can't guarantee which long name maps to which short name. You really have to ask the OS to do the lookup for you if you want correct results.

AFAIK your choices to get at Windows stuff from PHP are the COM functions, or writing a new function for PHP itself and recompiling. (Someone'll be along in a minute to correct me if I'm wrong).

>C and C++ are a big no no as our company doesn't have a compiler (winblows).

Different worlds :)

Hmm. How about Java? The API there might be rich enough to do what you want.

attached mail follows:

I don't know of a conversion routine that will do exactly what DOS does, but if you need to use 8.3 filenames and receive them as vfat32 filenames then you could do a conversion yourself before using the name. As long as the conversion is 8.3 compliant it does not matter that your conversion routine ends up with a different name.

Having converted it, then use the name and you write out the 8.3 filename, never the long one. Note the translation between the two in an array or db table.

I have an array $Lang = array('English','German','French','Zulu'); I want it in alphabetical order....

do i reset the arrray first or usort it first ????

attached mail follows:

Since it's not an associative array, you can just use sort($Lang); and that should work just fine.

I don't think you are explaining what you are after too well, so my understanding of it may be wrong. If you are displaying a table and want to display it in a different order, then its the "ORDER BY" clause in the database select statement that determines what order the data is given in.

To a more specific question but similar to this I gave an outline of storing results on a temporary basis in another table a couple of days ago. You should be able to find it in the archives.

I think it will help if you read some more on programming, particularly the php functions to get data from a database, sql in general, and the manual on the specific database you want to use.

My experience with cookies that have no expiration date has not been as successful. It seems that (in IE6 anyway) the behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes the cookie would last until I closed the browser, sometimes the cookie would expire in the middle of the session for no apparent reason. This behavior may not occur in other browsers though. I'd test the cookies with the browser(s) that you will be using for your application.

The only way is to set it with an expiry date and then it will delete it'self when the browser closes. Check this by running a file on the same domain with phpinfo();

No, I just tested it myself - if you set a cookie with no expire date it exists until the browser window is closed.

My code:

<?php

if (!isset($_COOKIE['TestCookie'])) { setcookie ("TestCookie", "FUD"); echo "Just Set a cookie - reload the page"; } else { echo "Cookie is : {$_COOKIE['TestCookie']}<br>Close the window then return and the cookie should be gone"; }

Have you managed to get the examples in the manual to work? Always start with something simple and work your way up. The examples in the manual are an ideal reference point as they _should_ work, so if they don't work for you you'll know you're doing something wrong.

I figured it out... it was me being stupid ;( I was looking for the docs and didn't have the most recent version of php. therefore I was using $_SESSION when I should have been using $HTTP_SESSION_VARS.. I talked to my isp and they don't want to upgrade the version of php that is running ;( Thanks, Mike

OK... This is another easy question that everyone has an answer for. Here's mine :D

the if statement has many ways of being formed. 1 line code: (Echo or exit command)

if(empty($Variable)) exit; else echo "Variable exists

Multiple line code: if(empty($Variable)) { header("Location: Here.com"); exit; } else { echo "Valid variable"; eixt; }

Combined: if(empty($Variable)) echo "Variable empty"; else { Header("Location: Here.com"); exit; }

or the other alternative

(empty($Variable)) ? echo "Empty" : echo "Contains Something";

Alexander,

The thing to do is to try it yourself. Yes its OK for single statements (I assume the colon after the "$condition):" is a typo. The first two examples in the manual (Chapter 11, if) show this syntax though not with "else".

Hi Asaf,

Thanks for the advice. That sounds like a good solution. One thing I was wondering about is... when my PHP script saves the uploaded image to the web server, how should the image be named [uniquely]? The problem is that if the user specifes the name of the image file, there's a chance he'll name another one the same way (and thus overwrite the original). I was thinking of maybe a dual approach, where the user gives the image file a name, but then the PHP script appends, say, the table name and record ID--so as to make the filename unique.

What do you think? Is that how you do it? (Or is there a better way??)

If you have a table that stores information about the images then I suggest you use the record ID alone (with the correct file-extension) as a filename. This will allways be unique, otherwise you probably have trouble with your dB aswell...

This is how I do it.

Yeuch. Maybe. Ask a Word expert if it's possible to manipulate it in that way. But you're better off modifying the file yourself in PHP, not asking Word to do it for you.

But again, /why/? What benefit does this get you that's not offered by regular HTML?

Its not PHP but HTML. I do this for a client. Make a Word document as needed, save it as rtf. Put a link onto my html page calling a particular routine. The routine reads the .rtf file, looking for replaceable parameters, replacing them with the customised values for this customer and saves the file under a new name indicating it is for this customer (still .rtf).

A new page has a link to this new file. When the user clicks it, as their browser has the mime type for .rtf set to MS Word, Word starts up and opens the file.

OK, in the application I did this in I used pl/sql (as the database was Oracle and there was no php) but there is no reason why you should not write a php routine to replace the parameters and resave the file.

I have a php-script with which one can download a file with a specific format like this:

header("Content-type: application/specific"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name.sqrfld"); echo ("output funny stuff...");

and i will count the number of downloads in a database. When i write the code for counting after the "echo ..." statement it will be executed regardless if the user aborted the download or not. How can i guarantee that i update the database when the download is complete?

I am thinking of moving PHP-based web site to a new server. In doing my due diligence, I see that the new server has some different PHP configure options.

I was able to make sense of most of them by looking through the PHP web site. But I'm still stumped by some of them. I'm hoping people here can tell me what they mean:

--enable-libgcc: I found the 1-line explanation on www.php.net, but I'm unclear as to the implications of this option. Can anyone explain?

--enable-pic: likewise. What does this mean?

--enable-inline-optimization: ??

--with-regex=system: the online docs say this is deprecated. Could this cause me trouble?

--with-flex: ?

--with-png: I know what PNG is, but I don't know hat this option does.

--with-layout=GNU: I see the explanation in the docs, but I don't know if this has any implications for me as a PHP programmer.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Dear all,

I'm writting an autoresponder system in PHP. and I'm using wget in my cron jobs to process it. Is there a way that I can process incoming mail in PHP and call the PHP using a similar method?

Basically I want to go through all the email messages checking if they are to autoresponderblah.com and if they are I would like to processes the mail body and subject line.

I'm sure there are different languages to do all this in; mmmm, Perl 5.0 for example but I like PHP ;-)

Check that your script has permission to write to that directory.

I have the full file path already. It is the permission. Everytime I move the website to a different machine, the permission is set back to the default.

Hi Alexander :o)

You have to have session_start() at the top of EACH page that will hold session registered variables. So just rewrite it like this:

Page 1:

<? session_start(); $test_var = "froggy"; session_register('test_var'); ?> <a href="page2.php">Click here</a>

Page 2:

<? session_start(); print $test_var."!"; ?>

PHP Master Editor is VERY good, and you can probably find it on downloads.com. I've never tried Zend, but it does look very interesting. And since they created the engine for PHP, you would think they're editor would be god, but that, unfortunately, doesn't seem to be the case very often.

Mark,

I have been developing with PHP for 1 year now, and about 1 month ago got DMX, I have to say that I spend much much less time on building forms and little repetitive work, and more on building applications. I would have to say that DMX increased my productivity by at least 5 times.(I suck at building forms because I spend to much time perfecting them) There is an initial learning curve, because DMX does some things different from what I had known, and some weird behaviors at times, and it certainly cannot be your entire application builder but I can safely say that I love it. Do not attempt to work with it if you do not have a fundamental understanding of PHP, because it has some weird quirks that I were hard to pinpoint for myself. But for building dynamic drop down lists, and recordsets, and update pages, it is great. I wish they had built in some kind of form checker where you could say, "check this field because it is a date" and "check this field when submitted because it is required" I also wish you could customize your mysql error messages, instead every one of them ends in "or die(mysql_error())" Maybe they do have these, and I have not yet found them, so forgive me if my statements are incorrect.( and help me cause I'd love them!) Again, it won't do user error checking, and when forms get complicated you have to do some manual editing, and the errors are generic. But it is certainly worth that money.

Thanks Dan

I have been using UltraDev for the last year with my ASP code and it is great. The best I have seen let for ASP. But UltraDev with PHP is mainly just a fancy Notepad. But it sounds like they did a good job with MX/PHP.

Also if MX work the same way they did UltraDev you can edit the code it writes for you. Example your question about customizing your MySQL error "or die(mysql_error())". This is build by script installed on your machine and are editable. For you can find the MySQL script and change "or die(mysql_error())" too what you want. You can do a search on macromedia's site on how. I have never did let, but read about it in a book on Ultrradev once.

What makes development tools better than a good editor? (serious question)

attached mail follows:

[snip] What makes development tools better than a good editor? (serious question) [/snip]

Over the course of time (I have been writing code for 25 years, many languages, some compiled, some not) I have found that the most useful tool in the arsenal is a good editor with no more features than line numbering. When I find myself in times of code trouble (props to John Lennon) I will almost always turn to an editor first. I have used many, and for my money where web application development is concerned, Programmers File Editor (no longer supported) http://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaap/pfe/ for Windows, and vi or pico on *nix are the editors of choice. I do use PHPedit from time to time because, while it is buggy, it does do syntax highlighting and matches brackets and other curly thingies well, which is especially helpful when viewing large scripts with lots of code.

I have and continue to use some IDE's for certain projects (Visual C++, UltraDev for ASP code) but often find myself using an editor on the code created by these.

So to answer the question above ... nothing beats a good editor.

Jay

attached mail follows:

Can't agree more, it's fine having Ultradev and the rest to get you started but the best end results come from understanding and writing code that is not bloated.

For a great text editor that has all the features identified in PHPEdit but none of the bugs try JEdit www.jedit.org

Dreamweaver has come along nicely. I have only dabbled at the MX version.

Ultraedit, http://www.ultraedit.com/, has proven to be very nice at handling editing tasks of PHP, HTML, SQL, and hundreds of other languages. It can edit files via FTP which was useful to me years ago and continues to be a requrement; Probably any editor does that now.

I use both of the above to attack web design projects.

I agree about WYSIWYG. I use UltraDev a lot, but don't use the WYSIWYG very much again more. UltraDev is great at managing your site and syntax highlighting. I love the update feature (change a file/image name and it updates all pages that use them to the new name)

Also about plain programming editors, I like PFE too. Didn't know it was unsupported now(see Jay Blanchard comment above)

I've created a db like system with XML and PHP, and I want to require a username/password to change the contents of the file.

How should I go about documenting the username/password? The contents of the site aren't really all to important (no financial info or anything like that, mostly just links actually), but I don't want someone's information stolen because someone found the "users.xml" file and opened it.

Running on a Windows 2k server with IIS5.

attached mail follows:

You could store passwords as MD5 hashes which of course is NOT really encryption, but it would obfuscate the users' passwords. They would still be vulnerable to social engineering ("Hmm, I'll try his wife's name, then his dog's name, then his phone#," etc) and brute force ("I'm going to run every word in the pspell dictionary through MD5 and see if anything matches") attacks, but it would be better than plain text, at least.

So, instead of

you would have <user> <name>Foo</name> <password>37b51d194a7513e45b56f6524f2d51f2</password> </user>

When 'Foo' tries to log in, you would just use MD5() on the password he entered in the web form and compare it to the value in the XML file. If it matches, he's in... otherwise, it's not the right password.

I'm sure others will come up with more secure ideas, but anything is more secure than passwords in plain text. :)

Hey,

I got a response from abuseonline.no regarding Erik Hegreberg's little stunt yesterday and they want full headers from the message in question. I thought all headers were going with my message to abuseonline.no when I forwarded, but apparently they got stripped by my client.

Unfortunately, I deleted all of Erik's messages as they came in, so I'm hoping someone out there that still has at least one copy can either forward me a copy with all headers intact, or can copy/paste headers into a new message and send those to me.

Just want to make sure Erik is properly dealt with by his ISP. Thanks,

Hi folks,

I'm trying my hand at some pattern matching, and I have a question.

I need to take all the text between the title tags of a page, and replace it. This I can do, with the following:

$fixedfile=ereg_replace("<title>.*</title>","<title><? echo \$bstitle; ?></title>", $fixedfile); works like a charm....

Now I want to delete everything in the src section of an image tag, so I'm trying this:

$fixedfile=ereg_replace("src=\".*\">","src=\"\"", $fixedfile);

but this doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

This is sorta OT, but involves PHP.

I have a fairly large List/Menu on a form, which allows for multiple selections. I want users to be able to use cntrl/shift-click to select a bunch of items. Let's say this List is called 'list'. Now when I submit the form, how does the processing script access all these different values in 'list'? If I try to echo '$list' it only show *one* of the selected items from the list. I've tried treating it as an array ($list[0], $list[1], etc), but that doesn't work either.

How do I get at the different values?

Your problem should be about file permissions. Try to give full permissions to the IIS_USR for the Paradox tabel you want to extract data from.

Let me know if you have any other questions

You see that all entries are not unique.So i want to list as output all entries but only once.If the word "Dark" is in the table 6 times php should output dark only 1 time. How should i solve this problem ?

Thanks! chris

I think you want to use group by: SELECT * FROM table GROUP BY kat;

SELECT DISTINCT kat FROM tablename; should work.

I'd make another array that I can refer to and check for a value from the original query (which with a huge array could become cumbersome, but it doesn't look like you have will have too many duplicate names). Every time you come across a new value, add it to the 2nd array (if it's not new, then don't add it), then put the pointer of the array back to the start. Return whether it was added or not, if it was added, then return 1 (true -- you can display that word), or else return 0 (false -- it was already in the list and thus has been displayed).

Of course you might not want to do this if both arrays are going to become huge (if the first is going to be like 10000 long, but the 2nd is only 4 long then it might still be slow). I believe there is a SQL Query that can cancel out duplicates for you.

Martin's post is what you want... knew there was a query (just couldn't remember it).

Hi guys,

I have a problem sorting values comming out of a db. It is not as easy.

Here is the prob: One table containing user points. Other table containing reports with rankings For each top 10 report (the 10 reports with the most ranking) there are 20 extra points granted

Now I would like to get the top 5 members out of the db. If I only pull out the user table ordered by points desc limit 5 I might miss a user with a top 10 report and 20 extra points.

So I thought about sorting the array afterwards with asort, but then I loose the asoziation with the user_id.

Maybe there is a way to sort the other arrays with the same sorting algo? Or a way to include a iff clause in the query?

currently I am doing: SELECT u_name, id, points FROM user WHERE points > 0 ORDER by points desc LIMIT 5

and the top10 reports extra.

Has anybody a good idea on that?

Andy

I'm not sure if I completely understand what you're asking, but....

It sounds like one table has user information. The second table has a record for each user and a field for the total number of points of each user. Something like this:

Users (Table 1) ------------- ID Name Address etc.

Scores (Table 2) ------------- ID UserID Points

If this isn't the case, well, you'll probably want to adjust your database structure. This approach allows you to do a simple SQL query like this:

select Users.*, Scores.* from Users, Scores where Users.ID = Scores.UserID ORDER BY Scores.Points limit 5
