Subject: [PHP] Table Making
I'm driving myself crazy trying to visualize what I want to do, so I thought I'd share the insanity and hope for some advice.
I have this nice piece of code to take my SQL result and organize it into a nice 5 column table:
print "<center><table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\">\n"; //start table
$i=0; //define variable - avoid errors $grad_year=""; //define variable - avoid errors
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { extract($row); $i++;
if($i=="1") { print "<tr>\n"; //start table row on $i = 1 }
printf("<td align=\"center\"><a href=\"year.asp?year=%s\">%s</a><br></td>\n", $grad_year, $grad_year); //print links
if ($i=="5") { print "</tr>\n"; //end table row on $i = 5 to get 5 columns $i=0; //reset $i }
$grad_year=""; //clear $grad_year
}
if ($i<5) print "</tr>\n"; //end any rows with less than 5 columns
print "</table></center><p>\n"; //end table -------------------END------------------------
Now, this works great for most things - it takes my SQL results and puts them in a table sequentially, from left to right, top to bottom. So in this case, the top-left cell displays "1941", the top-right cell displays "1945", the next row starts with "1946" on the left and goes to "1950" on the right, and so on.
What I want is rather than sorting left to right, top to bottom, I want to sort top to bottom, left to right. So the top-left would still be "1941", but rather than increasing to the right, it would increase down, then continue at the top of the next column.
I'm thinking this might be an easy thing to do with some creative use of $i and print, but I just can't think it out. I'm guessing $i would be used to limit the amount of items in a column... But, I'm in need of some guidance to get it right. I can't even begin to think where to start. Any help would be great - thanks!

Thanks for the code improvement, but that will still print results from left to right, top to bottom, i.e. the items ascend left to right in the rows. I'm not concerned with the actual order that they come out of MySQL in, just how they're displayed.
Basically, instead of this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
I want this: 1 6 11 2 7 12 3 8 13 4 9 14 5 10 15
Thanks again for the help, though.

Nice is in the eye of the beholder... Here's what I think is nice:
echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n"; echo " <tr>\n";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { echo ' <td align="center"><a href="year.asp?year='; echo $row['grad_year'] . '">' . $row['grad_year'] . "</a></td>\n"; }
echo " </tr>\n"; echo "</table>\n\n";
If you want to reverse the order, use an ORDER BY clause in your query string.

Jason,
HTML tables will always be displayed left to right, top to bottom. This is why you should ensure that the data from your database table comes out in the right order. Use an ORDER BY clause in your SELECT statement. Designing the table layout to be suitable avoids the problem you currently have.

You could always find out how many rows there are, then run individual queries for each cell of the table. In other words, to achieve this layout:
1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9
You would do queries in this order:
1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9
Like I said, I shudder at the thought of how much this would load the server (especially on large rows (lots of fields) or large tables (lots of rows = lots of queries)), but if the layout is imperative, then maybe this is an option...
I can't see why you can't run it as
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Cheers,
Justin
attached mail follows:
This is one way of doing it:
- calculate how many rows are needed given the total number of records (mysql_num_rows()) and how many columns you want. - loop through all records and store them in a two-dimensional array starting at arr[0][0] to arr[maxrows][0] and then increment the 'column' and store arr[0][1] to arr[maxrows][1] etc. - loop through the array the other way round and create the html-table. So start with arr[0][0] to arr[0][4] etc.
Make any sense?
Another way of doing it is to use mysql_data_seek() to jump back and forth in the result set.

Now that Jason clarified what he's trying to do, Joakim is on target. Since this data set already exists, I'd do this rather than create another data set in an array. Trick is, how...
$Columns = 5; $Rows = ceil( mysql_row_count($Result) / $Columns );
echo "<table border=\"1\">\n"; for ($RowCounter = 0; $RowCounter < $Rows; $RowCounter++) { echo " <tr>\n"; for ($ColCounter = 0; $ColCounter < $Columns; $ColCounter++) { $Index = ($Rows * $ColCounter) + $RowCounter; echo ' <td>'; if ( mysql_fetch_seek($Result, $Index) ) { $row = mysql_fetch_row($Result); echo $row[0]; } else { echo ' '; } } echo " </tr>\n"; } echo "</table>\n\n";
This stuff is untested on MySQL, but I tested it with a sample array and it works.

Just an idea I came up with after turning off my computer last night (don't ya hate that!) - I don't know how 'dirty' or 'crude' this would be, but in my head it seems like it would work. Basically, what if the while() printed multiple tables? In each table it made 5 rows, each row with one cell in it, so it would then be vertical. I'm just not sure how to incorporate into the loop (maybe a for() loop is better for this?) incremental queries, so that the first loop pulls rows 1-5, the next query 6-10, etc. until there are no more rows. Think this might work?
I will still try the array method suggested by a couple of people, but... I haven't really ever worked with arrays.
<Pseudo code> Do my first query: $i=0; //define variable $sql = mysql_query("SELECT grad_year FROM alumni LIMIT $i, 5 GROUP BY grad_year");
$grad_year=""; //define variable - avoid errors
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { extract($row);
if($i=="1") { print "<center><table width=\"10%\" border=\"0 \">\n"; //start table } printf("<tr><td align=\"center\"><a href=\"year.asp?year=%s\">% s</a><br></td></tr>\n", $grad_year, $grad_year); //print links, one per row
if ($i=="5") { print "</table>\n"; //end table on $i = 5 }
$i+5;
$grad_year=""; //clear $grad_year } if ($i<5) print "</table>\n"; //end any rows with less than 5 columns

No load whatsoever. You just need to think about how you are going to display it, not how you are going to retrieve it. For a 3x3, instead of:
<table> <tr><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr> </table>
you just do it this way:
<table> <tr> <td> <table> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> </table> </td> <td> <table> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> </table> </td> <td> <table> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>
And just use some height and width attributes to ensure that the rows and cells line up reasonably well.
Setting up code to output it that way is relatively simple. Just a twist on how you would output it otherwise.

Basically, you'd need an inner and outer loop. Something like this should work (untested):
$result = mysql( $dbname, $query );
$numRows = mysql_num_rows( $result );
echo "<table>\n"; for( $i = 0; $i < $numRows; $i++ ) { echo "<tr><td>\n"; echo "<table>\n";
while( $dataArray = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result )) { echo "<td>" . implode( "</td></tr><tr><td>", $dataArray ) . "</td></tr>
}
echo "</table>\n"; echo "</td></tr>\n";
} echo "</table>\n";
You may need to fool around with it abit, but that should work...

I use PHP sessions for my sites. The session_set_save_handler() is set to "Files". I would like to increase the gc_maxlifetime to get longer sessions. Today my sites generate about 1500-2000 simultaneous sessions. The number of sessions will probably grow if I increase the gc_maxlifetime. My question is: how does increased sessions affect the performance?

It's impossible.
PHP script starts when file is 100% uploaded on the server.

My trial just took 15 seconds, and that's pretty damn slow...

But I don't even know how to get the /proc/sysinfo or whatever it is under this OS...
If you know how to get more info out of this box, I'll give it a shot, though.
I sure wouldn't base any kind of performance data on the output from that site though -- It's hardly a dedicated server or anything like that.
And I suspect the server is under abnormally high load or something, cuz it's not usually *that* slow...

ok here we go:
Table 1 user_table id points
Table 2 reports report_id user_id rating
The goal is to associate every user extra 50 points if he has a top 10 report. Top 10 report means the 10 reports with the highest ranking. This value is always changing, thats why I did not include it to the other points. Now that we have the users with the additional points we could add them to the total points of the user and then find out the 5 users with the highest total points.
Thats the theory, but how to achieve this in real live??

"If he has a top-ten report"... is that a one-off thing? Or is it a weekly thing? Or is that every time his report get's into the top ten (in which case hovering around 10-11 would be the best bet!!)??
You need to decide WHEN the user is awarded the 50 points for being in the top ten.
For example, if this was judged weekly, then you could write a small script which is run weekly, awarding 50 points to the user_id's in the top 10 ratings... easy, but what happens to the guy who had something in there for Sun-Thur, and you run the job on Friday? Not good.
Or perhaps the points are awarded each time the top 10 changes... can't imagine why!! Yuk!
Or maybe you can only be awarded the 50 points ONCE, the FIRST time you're in the top ten, in which case, I'd add a 4th field to Table "reports", flagging it as "once a top ten", and apply the 50 points at that point.
Like I said, you need to define when this happens, so that we can figure out the best way... or perhaps you'll figure it out for yourself after you have a think about WHEN the 50 points are applied.

There are probably a couple ways to do this. This is the one that hits me off the top of my head, assuming you're using a version of MySQL which can't do subqueries.
Now, all of this is untested, so my query syntax may be off a tad, but it'll give you the idea of where to go...
Do the following intermittently on a scheduled basis:
1) Make a third table. It'll hold temporary data. user_id totalscore 2) LOCK TABLES Table3 READ 3) DELETE FROM Table3 WHERE 1=1 4) INSERT INTO Table3 (user_id, totalscore) SELECT user_id, 20 AS sc FROM Table2 ORDER BY rating LIMIT 10 5) INSERT INTO Table3 (user_id, totalscore) SELECT id, points FROM Table1 6) UNLOCK TABLES
Now, whenever you want to generate the top 5 list use the following query SELECT user_id, SUM(totalscore) AS thescore FROM Table3 GROUP BY user_id ORDER BY SUM(totalscore) LIMIT 5
If you can create subqueries, then you don't need the third table and can write one nice query, something like this...
SELECT id, sc+points AS totalscore FROM Table1 LEFT JOIN (SELECT user_id, 20 AS sc FROM Table2 ORDER BY rating LIMIT 10) ON (Table1.id = Table2.user_id) ORDER BY sc+points LIMIT 5

IP address is useless for identification.
Dial up users change IP faster than their underwear, and corporate users

I'm not sure how you interpreted the above paragraph, but it clearly is not
what I intended.
If you control all three domains, or have some access to put code on them,
you can use the images to send the right Cookies from all three domains to
'synchronize' them by embedding the current site's session_id() in the
request from the 'other' sites, and have the 'other' sites send the Cookies
required with the image.
Each site has three IMG SRC=xxx that are requesting GIFs from the other
sites.
The request for the GIF has, in the GET data, the Cookie value you want to
use.
The servers simply spew out the same Cookie value as the "original" server,
and now they all refer to the same user in a shared database.

Okay, let me spell it out, since at least some readers are obviously not
"getting" it.
Assumption #1.
You have access to *some* code on all three servers, and want to maintain
the Session ID "the same" across all three.
I believe that was the original poster's thesis -- They simply didn't want
to rip apart all the rest of the HTML on all three sites, but could
painlessly insert a few lines of code at the top of all three site's pages.
If, on all three sites, you can auto_prepend (or include) the following
code:
<?php
session_start();
$session_id = session_id();
echo "<IMG SRC=server1.com/session.jpg?session_id=$session_id>\n";
echo "<IMG SRC=server2.com/session.jpg?session_id=$session_id>\n";
echo "<IMG SRC=server3.com/session.jpg?session_id=$session_id>\n";
?>
Then, on all three servers, have the file session.jpg.
<?php
setCookie('PHPSESSIONID', $session_id);
header("Content-type: image/jpg");
readfile('images/invisible.jpg');
?>
You can effectively get the 'same' Cookie sent from all three sites.
NOTES:
I probably do not have the name of the Cookie variable, PHPSESSIONDID,
correct.
You may want to write cleaner code with more error-checking. :-) And add
the Content-length.
You'll also need to ForceType session.jpg to be PHP, not JPEG, or rename it
session_jpg.php or something to make the code get executed.
If a user is browsing with no Images, or uses Lynx, it ain't gonna work,
because they'll never request the Image that transfers the Cookie values
from site-to-site.
Obviously, the Session Cookie can now be hijacked more easily, since you are
accepting the value from the Internet. You will want to consider this very
carefully, and insert cross-checks that somebody doesn't 'create' an account
simply by presenting a request to all three servers with their own
home-brewed session ID. It might be best to only GET the GIFs from the
'other' two servers on each server, and cross-check with the original
server's data somehow that the account is valid. If you even care. If
Cookies are simply used to identify the user as the same user, and there's
no particularly "private" content nor user-customization happening, there's
not much point. Only you and your application can determine this. Think
the security implications through fully. If you're not 100% sure you'll
never ever use the Cookie ID for anything more than "convenience" as they
travel site-to-site, then you'd better be sure it's not a forgery.
If a user's ID/Session Cookie every changes, you *MUST* re-issue the same
Cookie on all three servers, or you'll get hopelessly out-of-sync. You may
want to use the customized session storage handlers just to be sure you
track this correctly. Search the PHP manual for something not unlike
session_set_handler and you'll find the function I'm talking about.

Some of this answer uses Un*x-specific terminology. MS, of course, would
never use an industry-standard term, so you may need to translate. And,
there actually is a big difference between "process" on Un*x and "thread"
under Windows. However, for the purposes of this discussion, the difference
is *MOOT* so I'm going to pretend they are the same, even when they aren't.
Here's the deal:
When you do mysql_pconnect(), PHP tells MySQL to *KEEP* the connection open.
MySQL keeps the connection open, and, for performance+security reasons,
knows which process opened the connect, and which username/password combo
was used. You see, if MySQL has to change all the stuff related to
username/password, then a lot of the benefit of keeping the old connection
around would be lost. Much of the benefit of the connection is the
construction of some particularly complicated gnarly pieces of data that tie
the connection to a particular username/password.*
* These last two sentences are possibly wildly inaccurate. Maybe even call
them lies. They are particularly useful, though, in that the average user
of PHP/MySQL can believe them and understand them, and cope with the fact
that _pconnect is tied to the username/password, which is just how it is. I
never let facts get in the way of education. YMMV.
When the *SAME* process ('thread' under Win 2K, alright?) with the same
username/password asks the (obviously same) MySQL server to mysql_pconnect()
again, MySQL goes:
"Oh, look, here I already *have* the connection open and ready. I don't
need to make another one."
The reason you see multiple connections "open" is that you have multiple
processes (threads in Win2K), each one holding on to their connection for
their username/password. Actually, MySQL holds on to them *for* the
process, but they are tagged "for that process/username/password only". But
some folks find it easier to think of them as being "held onto" by the HTTP
process. [shrug]
You see, when you asked for your first page, it was "HTTP Process # 1"s turn
to answer.
Then, on the second page, it was "HTTP Process # 2"s turn.
Third, maybe it was #3's turn. Or #4's. Who knows?
Maybe you didn't even do mysql_pconnect on your 4th request.
Maybe by the time you asked for the fifth page, #1 was ready again.
Time went by, and different processes answered different HTTP requests.
*EACH* Process, as it does a _pconnect() gets its own "persistent"
connection left open for it. Indeed, two processes *might* be running
"concurrently" and *need* two connections open, since you don't want one
connection's data getting mixed up with the other's data. They are both
running at the same "time". **
** Purists will point out that the CPU can only do one thing at a time...
Yes, but the *context* for what it is doing, the script that is running, the
data structures/streams required, are all "alive" in some sense
concurrently, even though the actual CPU is only dealing with one at a time.
The Apache/PHP/MySQL/OS software needs to keep all this crap organized and
different processes separated from each other, and it's easiest to think of
them as running "concurrently" even when technically they are all taking
turns with the CPU in time "slices". Unless, of course, you have multiple
CPUs, in which case this paragraph (and entire post) would get hopelessly
complexified to no real benefit for the average reader.
In time *every* process will have its own persistent connection.
If you are running Apache, you can configure the number of "Child" processes
and thus control the maximum number of open connections to MySQL. (One per
process/username/password).
If you are running IIS, you are on your own. :-) While I assume there is
some kind of way to configure IIS wrt number of threads/children, I have no
idea, and don't even want to know, how to do it.
Meanwhile, it is abso[bleep]ing critical that your MySQL settings be such
that *IT* does not have fewer connections limited than the number of
"persistent" connections that your web-server is going to use. In fact, you
want a few extra, so that you can *ALWAYS* use the monitor from the shell to
take down a thrashing, dying, over-loaded MySQL. If you're maxed-out, you
can't even get to MySQL from the shell, and you're in trouble.
Example:
Suppose httpd.conf has a "cap" of 30 HTTPD child processes.
Then my.conf should have, oh, 35 as a limit on the number of open
connections.
Eventually, each HTTP process will have one (1) connection of its own, and
you'll have a few spares for shell access.
*IF* you have multiple username/password combinations, such as on a shared
ISP, and you are using _pconnect, then you need to take this into careful
consideration: *EACH* username/password tied to *EACH* HTTPD using a
_pconnect will "use up" one of your MySQL connections.
While low-traffic virtual sites may not ever even approach the limit, you'd
want every high-traffic virtual site to have a full complement (number of
HTTPD children) of MySQL connections, plus a few spare. You *NEVER* want to
have those high-traffic site "use up" all the connections.
IE, if there are 7 high-traffic sites, and 200 HTTPD children, you'd want at
*least*:
7 * 200 == 1400 MySQL connections as your limit, plus, a few spare... At
least, in theory.
You'd then need to factor in "moderate" traffic sites, and bump this even
higher.
Each persistent connection chews up RAM, though, and while RAM is cheap,
it's not an unlimited resource.

Your POST variables and such-like are all visible when doing "View Source",
which is not particularly tricky, even for the average bear.
The better way would be to use HTTP Authentication (search php.net for it).
While this could still be "sniffed", and I'm sure some real geeks can manage
to snag their own username/password out of the browser's RAM, it's much less
visible to the average user.
If you also do that over HTTPS, you can guarantee that they will not be
"sniffed" in transit from browser to server.

You'll might want to tie into Qmail in the, errrr, Qmail-equivalent of
sendmail.conf and add in your "unsubscribe.php" script as the "EXEC" (is
that what it's called?) for some kind of regex in your spam identifier. I
only did something like this once, so have forgotten the details. There are
a zillion examples with Perl, though, and there's no real difference from
that to doing it with PHP, except the filename ends in .php, not .pl, and
then the file itself is PHP and uses the PHP parser instead of Perl.
You'll need to put "unsubscribe.php" in the smrsh directory, and make it
executable with #!/path/to/php, the CGI (or CLI now) PHP version you
compiled the same way you compiled the Module, only without the --with-apxs
Or, perhaps, you'll want to re-direct *ALL* your email to PHP, and write
your own spam detector in PHP.
Or, perhaps, you don't have access to Qmail at all, and you could build
yourself a web-page where you paste in the offending email, with headers,
and then PHP does something.
I doubt the latter, but it's hard to tell from your question...

You are confusing the headers that your web-server sends *TO* the client,
with the headers the server gets *FROM* the user's Browser.
You can't upgrade somebody's stupid IE browser to Mozilla just by sending
them a new User-Agent header, no matter how attractive a solution it might
seem :-)
On each HTTP request, their browser composes a User-Agent setting to tell
you what Browser they are, and you while you can change the value of the
Environment variable that ends up in, it won't change the reality of which
broken browser they are using.
Exactly why did you think you wanted to do this? Because whatever it is
you're trying to do, this for sure is nowhere near the right way to do it.
:-)
Short description:
Each HTTP request and response consists of *TWO* sets of headers -- The
browser *SENDS* some headers to the server, and the server sends back some
headers and (usually) some content.
You can't alter the headers being sent by the browser, though.
Well, okay, you can send Cookies, and they'll come back as headers, and you
can use HTTP Authentication, and on their second page, the browser uses
headers to send back the same username/password they already typed in. But
the actual User-Agent and other stuff the browsers tell you, they make up
all on their own and send in as headers.
Note that geeky users can send any User-Agent they desire...

*MAYBE*, I say just *MAYBE* http://php.net/fgetc will time out and return
false if nothing is typed for "long enough"... But that's probably "too
long" for what you need, and you have no control over it.
If you can somehow use fsockopen instead of a fopen, and "fool" that socket
into being a file using named pipes and redirect, you could *probably* do
much better by then setting the time-out on the socket...

Your question should be more like:
How do I get specific files to be readable/writeable by PHP?
The only way to get any arbitrary file readable/writeable by PHP is to run
PHP (ie, Apache) as 'root' and that's just plain stupid.
Under Un*x, you can do:
chmod 766 filename
and then PHP will be able to read/write it.
NOTE: So will *ANY* other user on the same system using
PHP/Perl/whatever!!!
You do *NOT* *NOT* *NOT* *NOT* want world-write-able files in your web-tree.
Put them in your home directory, *NEXT* to 'htdocs' or 'www' or 'web' or
whatever they called the directory where you stick your HTML files.
Use a full pathname to access the file.
If you don't know the pathname, you can do:
pwd
to figure it out.
If you can't SSH (or telnet) [is any ISP dumb enough to still allow telnet?]
in to your server, then you *might* be able to use your FTP client to alter
a file's permissions.
If you are on Windows, the same principles apply, but the permissions system
changed from version to version, and in some cases, you're just screwed
because there are no sensible alternatives to set the permissions of a file.

Using a database does not in any way, shape, or form preclude you from using
XML.
XML is just text.
Databases store text very nicely.
Some databases even claim to understand XML internally. I have no direct
knowledge of the validity of such claims.
If you think it would be better in a database, you are probably correct, and
you probably should stop using files immediately.
Otherwise, you will almost for sure find yourself dealing with race
conditions and other gnarly stuff that is taken care of in the database. In
short, you'll find yourself basically re-writing a goodly chunk of very
tricky code that somebody already wrote for you, for free.

If there is no gd_set_comment function in http://php.net/gd
then you are probably reduced to using exec() for some external program to
add comments to the file, or to figuring out how to shove them into the file
"by hand" yourself, by digging apart the JPEG specs...

Why not?!
It's *FAR* more important than raw performance 90% of the time!
Optimize the code that's slow, don't try to write all code at maximum
performance.
If we really needed all code at maximum performance, we'd all still be
coding in binary.

What part is not working?
Set your browser Cookie settings to "Ask every time" for starters. Are you
getting the cookies from:
<?php
session_start();
Then, are you remembering to:
session_register('counter');
and what do you see when you have:
echo "You have been here ", $counter++. " times.";

You shouldn't need to send their session ID if Cookies are turned on, but if
you want to send it, you'll have to spell PHP_SESSID correctly... :-)
After that, I can't read Signup2.phps, so I can't really tell for sure
what's happening...
At a guess, though, you'll need a TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=Account VALUE="True" in
there, and it's probably missing... Or you could
session_register('Account') right after session_start() so that it will just
be there...

Okay, here's one thing:
Why make me type all the crap in for somebody who might already be there?
It would be much better human interface to first let me know who's missing
before I go typing in all that stuff for the players already input.
I'm assuming LW and RW are, like, Left Wing and Right Wing in soccer or
hockey or something, right?
A team roster is going to be, what, 30 records at most?
Show me the current list and let me choose whom to edit, and give me a "New
Player" button.

If there are only a few fields, and not too many rows, one thing I
frequently do is display them with User IDs and then use 'NULL' as the ID
for a New Record, and have code something like this:
<?php
require 'connect.inc'; # This just has one line "$connection =
mysql_connnect('localhost', 'user', 'pass');" in it.
# Handle any FORM input:
if (isset($lastname)){
while (list($id, $ln) = each($lastname)){
$fn = $firstname[$id];
# Other fields the same way $xx = $xxxxxxxx[$id];
if ($id == NULL || $id == 'NULL' && ($fn || $ln)){
# New Player, but only if they've filled in a name:
$query = "insert into players (firstname, $lastname, ...)
values('$fn', '$ln', ...)";
}
else{
$query = "update players set firstname = '$fn', lastname = '$ln',
... where players_id = $id";
}
$update = mysql_query($query, $connection) or
error_log(mysql_error());
}
}
# Display FORM
$query = "select players_id, firstname, lastname from players order by
lastname, firstname";
$players = mysql_query($query, $connection) or error_log(mysql_error());
while (list($id, $fn, $ln) = mysql_fetch_row($players)){
echo " <TR>\n";
echo " <TD><INPUT NAME=lastname[$id] VALUE='", htmlentities($ln),
"'></TD>\n";
echo " <TD><INPUT NAME=firstname[$id] VALUE='", htmlentities($fn),
"'></TD>\n";
# More fields here. They can be Radio buttons or whatever, of course.
echo " </TR>\n";
}
# Output a row for a "New Player":
echo " <TR>\n";
echo " <TD><B>NEW:</B><INPUT NAME=lastname[NULL]></TD>\n";
echo " <TD><INPUT NAME=firstname[NULL]></TD>\n";
# More fields here. They can be Radio buttons or whatever, of course.
echo " </TR>\n";
echo "</TABLE></FORM>\n";
?>
Now, this is not going to win any awards for Design or anything, but for a
busy admin to have everything in one place to fill in all the crap and see
all of it is very handy.
It also means that when (not if) they forget to update 'Joe Schmoe', they'll
see his record when they go to add in 'Betsy Buick' -- which means they just
might notice that it's out of date and fix it at the same time.
This simply gets unwieldy, though, if there are a ton of records, or "too
many" fields...
Still, I'm making the wild guess that for a team roster this is going to be
fine...
You can also output 5 or even 10 rows of the "New" row, if they frequently
have to put in a lot of players at once, but then you need to give them
*DIFFERENT* 'key' values inside the [], and change the "if ($id == NULL ||
$id == 'NULL' ...)" part to be more complex:
if (strstr($id, 'NULL') && ($fn[$id] || $ln[$id])){
.
.
.
# Output five rows for a "New Player":
for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++){
echo " <TR>\n";
echo " <TD><B>NEW:</B><INPUT NAME=lastname[NULL$i]></TD>\n";
echo " <TD><INPUT NAME=firstname[NULL$i]></TD>\n";
# More fields here. They can be Radio buttons or whatever, of course.
echo " </TR>\n";

That particular header is automatically inserted, I believe, by the software
actually sending the email, IE sendmail or qmail or whatever.
What's more, it's pretty much not kosher to not have that.
This is not to say it's impossible to forge such things, and insert email
via an open relay into the mail stream/system somewhere.
Just that it's not something that should be a built-in function to PHP, or
*ANY* legitimate mass-use software for that matter.
I mean, that would be like inviting *EVERYBODY* to spam, uncontrollably, and
would just be stupid.
I honestly have no idea how to forge an email routing path, just know it can
be done, and is not rocket-science. But you're going to have to dig into
the guts of sendmail or equivalent at a minimum, or search out "send spam to
1,000,000 people!!!" software to do it...
I don't *think* you can even do it with just PHP's fsockopen to the
much-hated Open Relays of the world... Or, at least, they'd be tracked back
to that Open Relay anyway... That might be sufficient for your purposes,
whatever they are. I suggest, however, that you re-examine your purpose,
and decide if it's really worthy of your time and talent.

That's the reason why register_globals was originally ON.
Actually, going way back, I don't think you could even turn it OFF at all...
It's just *SOOOO* convenient.
>Considering the fact that anyone can forge GET, POST, & cookies, is there
>really any purpose in turning register_globals = Off ??
*YES*
Consider the following (stupid but common) code:
<?php
if (valid_user($PHP_AUTH_USER, $PHP_AUTH_PW)){
$valid = 1;
}
.
.
.
if ($valid){
# SECRET stuff here
}
?>
Now, with register globals on, if I visit:
Game Over.
In theory, nobody would ever have a variable they were using that was
uninitialized because they set error_reporting to E_ALL (like they should)
and they completely test every line of code and branch of logic in their
application (like they should)...
Here in the Real World, there are a zillion scripts "out there" by
non-programmers (hey, PHP *is* that easy!) and they have Security Holes like
this in them.
Some of these are (or at least were) in widely-distributed third-party PHP
applications, as I understand it. :-(
Turning register_globals ON will make the above hack to pass in $valid
through GET as a "global" not work. Stops the hack cold, because $valid
isn't allowed to "sneak" in through the URL any more.
You could say "register_globals OFF increases the security of a
badly-written application" :-)
This "register_globals" has *nothing* to do with "global" in functions, just
in case the terminology is making anybody think they're the same thing.
They're not. Not related at all.
If you're an expert programmer and you *NEVER* make the mistake of using an
uninitialized variable, then by all means, turn register_globals on and live
happily ever after writing code without all those pesky $_GET and $_POST, or
$_REQUEST if you want to treat both GET and POST data "the same" for a
particular variable.
If you've ever made a single mistake in your life, leave register_globals
OFF and get used to the new paradigm. :-)
For the record, $_GET and/or globals are *NOT* filtered in any way, shape,
or form by PHP. If they *were* filtered somehow by PHP, there is *NO*
reason that filter could not be applied in either paradigm.
It is entirely UP TO YOU to validate the incoming data as kosher, whatever
kosher means in the context of your application, and at the level of
Security is acceptable risk to your organization, application, boss, and
self-pride.
Alas, PHP really *CANNOT* filter your incoming data, since there's simply no
way for PHP to know what is or isn't kosher. Think about it. Try to write
a generic data-validating system. It gets very messy, very fast, and it
just can't be applied across the board to arbitrary data. You have to know,
at a minimum, some business-logic specific information about the data.
register_globals OFF *ONLY* stops the "hack" of somebody over-riding an
un-initialized variable with whatever value they choose. This is NOWHERE
NEAR sufficient for you to TRUST data coming from the big, bad, Internet.
Disclaimer: I originally argued against register_globals OFF as default,
for various reasons (not least of which is the traffic on this list from
this change), and I still have it ON in many places because I actually *DO*
always initialize variables. It's just an ingrained habit with me, and I
daresay there truly are no uninitialized variables floating around in my
personally-written code. Can't say the same for any third-party code I've
installed (not much) and I *should* migrate to register_globals OFF, but
I've got a *LOT* of code to fix, and there's no maintenance budget for any
of it...

The FALSE on failure is if PHP completely fails to execute the command at
all. This is a rather rare condition.
PHP is quite happy to execute commands that "fail" (whatever that means) and
return the last line of their output which may, or may not, contain an error
message you could detect, though, and as far as PHP is concerned, it did not
fail to execute the command. That your command didn't do what you wanted,
or that the command itself failed, is not a "failure" on the part of PHP, if
you see what I mean.
However, you may want to use exec() and get the full output, as well as the
OS error code, if any, returned by MySQL and then you'd know for sure what
happened.

Oh yeah. You'll need the full path to mysql, almost for sure.

*MAYBE* system() only "catches" stdout, and not stderr...
Though I doubt it.
Is there a blank line at the end of the MySQL error output when you do it
wrong in the shell?
Use the exec() I just posted and get *ALL* your output, *AND* the actual OS
error (or 0) code returned.

If you are interested in a particular PHP function, there's even a really
nice interface at http://cvs.php.net that lets you look at it without
downloading the whole darn thing. VERY nice.
You don't even really really have to know a lot of geeky things to
understand it, so long as you're willing to just ignore the parts you don't
understand, and peck away at what you do understand :-)

You can't get Apache 1.x to treat the file as both SSI and PHP. Period.
You could just make the first line of each file do whatever magic you do to
include PHP, and then it would be something not unlike:
----------- foo.shtml ----------------------
<!-- #EXEC session.inc --!>
More HTML and SSI here.
--------------------------------------------
I *THINK* if you do this, and have <?php session_start();?> in the
session.inc file, it will work...
I'm assuming there is no output to the browser by the <!-- #EXEC --> bit.
I'm also quite likely not doing SSI right, since I abandoned SSI for PHP
very rapidly.

What happens if you make the editor window bigger (wider) or even narrower?
That should all be one line.
The error is either because of that, or on the line[s] *before* that line.

Since PHP has a fget_csv function (or something like that) odds are pretty
good it can write CSV as well.
If not, and *IF* you can do tab-delimited instead (*MUCH* easier) and just
as easy to suck in on the other end, you can do:
<?php
require 'connect.inc';
$query = "select * from mytable";
$rows = mysql_query($query, $connection) or error_log(mysql_error());
while ($row = msyql_fetch_row($rows)){
$tab_delimited = implode("\t", $row);
echo $tab_delimited, "\n"; // Or you can write to a file, or whatever.
}
?>
If you *MUST* use CSV, not tab-delimited, I *THINK* this will work:
<?php
require 'connect.inc';
$query = 'select * from mytable';
$rows = mysql_query($query, $connection) or error_log(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($rows)){
while (list(,$value) = $row){
if (strstr($value, ',') || strstr($value, '"')){
$value = str_replace('"', '""', $value);
$value = str_replace(',', '",', $value);
$value = "\"$value\"";
$output_row[] = $value;
}

}

The !$page probably happens before the ==, so you are testing !$page (true
or false) being equal to "datetime"...
You may or may not want to use something more like:
<?php
if (!strstr($PHP_SELF, 'datetime')){
include 'header.php';
}
?>
I personally, though, would have *three* files.
One, datetime.inc would do the work.
index.htm would include 'datetime.inc'
datetime.htm would also include 'datetime.inc'
I think this will be less confusing to you a year later when you have to
maintain this code.

Did you call session_start() in this page?
Cuz if not, like, PHP doesn't know you want to use the session variables
from the other page.
Also, it's not + to concatenate strings in PHP. It's .
$BOOKS = $BOOKS . "," . $bookid;
And, what's more, you can shorten $foo = $foo . xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to:
$foo .= xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
So, in your case, it's:
$BOOKS .= "," . $bookid;
And, since you can "bury" variable in strings and work, even go with:
$BOOKS .= ",$bookid";
You might, however, want to turn $BOOKS into an array anyway:
$BOOKS[] = $bookid;
But you'll need to read up on arrays to use them.

No, that's just how cookies work.
PHP can't get a cookie from the browser before you send it.
In slow-motion:
1. Browser asks for URL
2. PHP sends cookie to browser
3. PHP sends HTML page to browser
4. Browser renders page.
5. User clicks to new URL
6. Browser sends cookie with request for new URL
7. PHP gets cookie with request for new URL
PHP *CANNOT* get a cookie the browser never got, and thus never sent back,
until step 7.
Oh yeah:
The stuff about using time/directory is an IE bug.
You can supply *BOTH* time and directory, but not just time.
This is not the way the Cookie spec reads, but Microsoft never reads specs
properly, much less implements them properly, mostly on purpose.

In all cases, you want the path *ABOVE* the include/ directory -- You want
only the part that is common to both your "include" directory, and your
"lib" directory.
Probably just "/usr" in your case.
Don't worry about how "far" PHP has to "dig" to find "include" and "lib" so
long as they are *BOTH* somewhere under the directory you provide.

That's wrong.
You should be passing a TIME in for the third argument, or nothing at all.
Also, due to an IE bug, if you *DO* pass in a TIME, you *MUST* also pass in
a non-empty path.
'/' will be fine.
So, if you want a 'session' Cookie, use:
setcookie('gfo_cms', $sessid);
If you want it to expire, use:
setcookie('gfo_cms', $sessid, time() + 60*60*24*30, '/');
Oh, and for Vins, PHP sessions *USE* cookies, so you're no better off with
them *UNLESS* you --enable-trans-sid or you stuff the session_id() into
every URL/FORM.

Use your browser Preferences to select Cookie "Ask every time" so that when
you do or don't send a Cookie from your own site, you'll know what you're
getting.
You'll want to turn it off before real surfing again, though, since some
sites send a zillion cookies on every damn page, no matter how silly that
is. Sigh.

I think he's building his own "pool" of objects for object-management in

And mucking directly with $GLOBALS is morally wrong :-)
global $test2;

Of course, you *will* need:

Here is what I would do, if I was doing what I think you're doing, which I'm

<?php
$query = "select col1, col2, ... from table_name where 1 = 1 ";
if (isset($value1)){
$query .= " and col1 = $value1 ";
}

$query .= " and col2 = $value2 ";
}
if (isset($value3)){
$query .= " and col3 = $value3 ";
}
mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error());
?>
The where 1 = 1 technique is a sort of "yeast" to allow all the subsequent
parts to start with " and ..."
If you change to " OR ... " then you need " where 1 = 0 "
Think about it or work through an example to see why :-)

If you send no expiration date, it expires when the browsers are all closed.

Two Comments:
The "alternate syntax" with the colons is passe -- I think you'd have to dig
pretty deep to find a script old enough that uses it for anything other than
demonstration purposes. (Rasmus?)
You don't *HAVE* to have {} for one-line clauses, but sooner or later,
you'll end up adding a line, and then the whole thing will puke on you
because you don't have {}... Thus, it is morally wrong to not have {} in
all your code. This is a religious issue, and others will disagree.
They're just wrong :-)
attached mail follows:
> -----Original Message-----
> From: Richard Lynch [mailto:rich What utter tosh! *All* my scripts use the "alternative" syntax, as I think
braces are an eyesore and an abomination, and cause more problems than they
solve.
I've pretty much lost count of the number of times I've seen code written
like this:
if (x) {
while (y) {
...
} // end while
...
} // end if
when it would be just as easy, and more functional, to write this (even
saves a few characters, too!):
if (x):
while (y):
...
endwhile;
...
endif;
Another advantage to the alternative syntax is that it can improve error
reporting (slightly). Consider the following:
if (....) {
....;
while (....) {
....;
for (....) {
....;
....
}
....
}
....
PHP will tell you you have a syntax error on the very last line of your
file, and you have no option but to go back and laboriously hand match all
of your braces -- and with each ellipsis representing maybe tens (or even
hundreds!) of lines of code and/or HTML, that's a big job. Now suppose you
wrote it like this instead:
if (....):
....;
while (....):
....;
for (....):
....;
....
endwhile;
....
endif;
....
Now PHP will throw an error at the endwhile, because it knows there's an
endfor missing -- and you've already cut out a large chunk of your code to
check; better yet, as you're checking you can see at a glance what each
"end" should be matching. And every "end" has to be there, too -- no
cursing yourself for that lazy day when you left out a few comments on some
"unimportant" closing braces!

I'm not saying that WYSIWYG isn't right for you, because obviously it is.

Dreamweaver MX can be easily upgraded to a far supperior PHP suppor
t with PHAkt, our free server model for DWMX. I'll paste the features
below, there's not debugger, and I think that this features will be missing
for a long time from DWMX, but when you reuse good written code all the ti
me you don't really need it....
PHAkt is a free and complex implementation of PHP server model for the
Dreamweaver MX environment. It adds a lot of improvements over the
PHP_MySQL sever model that ships with Dreamweaver:
- Support for multiple databases in a transparent way (ADOdb)
- Support for MySQL, PostgreSQL and MsSQL date locales
- User authentication Server Behaviors
- Master/Detail Server Behaviors
- Go to detail Page Server behaviors
- Improved code generation (all reusable code is kept in functions.inc.php)
- Multiple and extensible recordset support.
- IIS and Apache 2 support by using absolute redirects.
More on PHAkt 2 can be found at http://www.interakt.ro/products/PHAkt/

Hello,
If you find the Dreamweaver MX PHP support too immature, you can

The current version 2.0 (PHAkt 1.0 did the same thing for Ultradev 4
but it seems that many PHP developer don't want to be productive and stick t
o code editors like vi or notepad) adds a lot of features like:
- Support for multiple databases in a transparent way (ADOdb)
- Support for MySQL, PostgreSQL and MsSQL date locales
- User authentication Server Behaviors
- Master/Detail Server Behaviors

On line 88 in discussion_fns.php there is an echo or print or even just some
HTML, or *EVEN* just a blank line outside of <?php ?> tags.
That is "content" which PHP had to send to the browser.
Now, once PHP has to send content to the browser, it had to send all the
headers first, then a blank line, then the content.
Pretty much, that's why headers are called headers -- They come at the
"head" of the HTML, with a blank line in between.
Once all that went out to the browser, you can't call "header()" function,

Because something other than a header has gone out. As something other
has gone out, it is not possible to send more headers. Thus headers that
were to be sent must have already been sent. I interpret this error

"Chris Hewitt" <g0pae attached mail follows:
When you request a page, for instance, php.net, your web browser sends HTTP headers to the server that holds php.net on it. When the server receives these HTTP headers, it knows which page is needed, and sets up it's own headers to send back to the browser, such as location, file types, etc. It then sends back the requested page with all the appropriate header information to the browser, which displays the page.
Where your question comes into play is somewhere in the middle. You can set the HTTP headers only AFTER the request to the server has been made, but has to be BEFORE the page arrives at the client browser for display. So, when we all say that there can be NOTHING output to the HTML file before the headers are sent, we mean it literally.
For example: Open up Notepad. Hit return once, then type this in:
<?php header("Location: index.php"); ?>
Upload it and run it. You'll get an error. Why? Because you sent a hard return to the HTML output BEFORE the header was sent. Hopefully this is not all jumbled an unhelpful. Heh :o)
Good Luck!

If it's a relatively small file, it might be a little faster to do:
<?php
$file = file("filename.txt" or die("Could not open file");
echo count($file);
?>
It will suck the whole file into an array of lines faster than you can do

It's definitely more efficient.
A case could be made for times when using PHP as a CGI (via suExec) could be
"more secure" for doing certain kinds of things, though.
I'm not at all there there's any real security difference from Module/CGI
even without the caveats.
Anyway, a SAPI allows PHP to live like a wart on the back of the web server.
So, like, it becomes a part *OF* the web-server which is *already* running,
and waiting to serve up web pages, and if PHP is already there, it just
calls the main PHP function to start doing PHP.
There is ISAPI for IIS, and ASAPI for Apache and so on.
API is A-something Programming Interface or some such, and it's just a fancy
acronym for saying "we designed a logical reasonable set of functions that
you can use to interact with our software without going crazy trying to
figure out all the gory details inside"
I think the "S" part is for "S"erver.
Anyway, for Apache, you just configure it --with-apxs (or --with-apache, but
that's less fun) instead of the php binary in /usr/local/bin. You also
configure httpd.conf with the LoadModule and AddHandler instead of the
Action. (Action is for CGI)
For IIS, you use the php4nts.dll or something like that and make it a
"filter" (MicrosoftIsm for Module) instead of the php.exe
For other web-servers, it's pretty much the same idea, though I got no clue
how to configure them... If you're stuck with one of them, and no PHP
examples are coming up, find a Perl example, and do everything the same,
only plug in PHP where it says Perl.

Hmmmm.
Try to think of it this way.
PHP "just" spews out HTML.
I need to spew out the HTML for my web-browser to display an image.
That HTML looks like: <IMG SRC=blahblahblah.jpg>
Or, if you want a link to that image, you'd use:
<A HREF=blahblahblah.jpg>Front Rendering</A>
(or something like that)
So, your code should be something not unlike:
printf("<IMG SRC=%s>", mysql_result($result, 0, 'FRONT_REND'));
or perhaps you want:
printf("<A HREF='%s'>Front Rendering</A>", mysql_result($result, 0,
'FRONT_REND'));
That said, let me point out a few "Big Picture" issues.
printf is incredibly useful for spitting out highly-detailed formatted text,
but it's also a bit slower than echo.
So, really, echo is probably going to be a better work-horse for you in the
long run.
Secondly, calling mysql_result() over and over and over instead of
mysql_fetch_row() once... Well, that's a lot slower.
So, ideally, your code should look more like:
# Maybe in a while loop, maybe not...
list($plan7, $plan8, $plan9, $front_rend) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
echo "$plan7<BR>\n";
echo "$plan8<BR>\n";
echo "$plan9<BR>\n";
echo "<IMG SRC='$front_rend'><BR>\n";
echo "<A HREF='$font_rend'>Front Rendering</A><BR>\n";
You might even have THUMBNAIL path in your database, as well as a FULLSIZE
path for your images:
echo "<A HREF='$fullsize'><IMG SRC='$thumbnail'></A><BR>\n";

If your computer is a *REAL* dog and has no RAM and no swap space, you can

YES!!! Big Trouble.
Your OS has a Regex built-in to it.
PHP has a Regex in it as well.
Apache has a Regex in it as well.
*IF* you forced Apache to use the OS Regex and not its own, and *IF* you
force PHP to use the System Regex and not its own, you just *MIGHT* be okay,
only you'll be using a Regex not quite like anybody else on the planet

I suppose if you really worked at it you could put bison and flex and all

flex...
>--with-png: I know what PNG is, but I don't know hat this option does.
Tells GD that you not only want GD, but you want GD to be able to actually

(Okay "of limited use")
You gotta also say if you want PNG and/or JPEG and/or whatever else GD can
do this week.
Ditto for PDF and Flash and so on, I think.
You are kinda stuck using the same answer (Yes, I want PNG) for any packages
that have PNG as an optional plug-in... I think.
It also lets you tell PHP where the hell you installed PNG, which is
important.
>--with-layout=GNU: I see the explanation in the docs, but I don't know

Probably not. I never used it.
I think it just changes where PHP is going to install all the files it
creates when it's done.
If you leave it alone, you'll be the way most examples and tutorials expect
you to be.
If you mess with it, you'll have to "translate" any tutorials into your own
setup.
For all of these, leave them alone, and let ./configure do the usual, unless
you *REALLY* know what you are doing, or just want to learn some very arcane
stuff. :-)

>But I found nothing about a jobs mailing list. I'm really a Perl programmer and

There used to be a nifty jobs database tied into php.net, but I think it was
not getting utilized well, and the original author ended up having less time
for maintenance than he'd hoped, and...
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, scroll to the bottom of this link, which I
found by searching php.net for "Jobs" (whole site, not just function names):
I dunno about these days, but I would hazard a guess that Job Openings would
be kinda nifty, whereas people posting resumes would be pretty damned
annoying. Just my opinion, and I haven't been back long enough to know for
sure :-)
As far as those plotting to *BUILD* a PHP jobs application, I'll throw out
some comments to the wind:
1. Since there used to be such a best on php.net, and it seems to have gone,
I can only surmise that PHP Developers are not *opposed* to the idea, but I
suspect they will be leery of repeating whatever went wrong the first time
around. I'd hazard a guess that it was (1) lack of a dedicated maintainer
to develop it, and/or (2) lack of actual JOBS AVAILABLE postings. You may
even be in a situation where it's more of a "you build it first and then
we'll believe it" from the PHP Dev team given the history... THIS IS JUST A
GUESS I AM NOT "ON" THE TEAM I COULD BE 100% WRONG AND OFTEN AM!!!
Usually because the PHP Dev guys are just plain way nicer than I am :-)
2. This is a *HUGE* project you're suggesting. *HUGE*. If you don't have
real experience in a Project this *HUGE* you really have no idea what you
are biting off, and it's going to choke you.
3. There are a ton of "job sites" out there and some even let you plug in
"PHP" as a known technology, and some of those are even aggressively
managed/marketed by head-hunter-like industry people who are working this
thing to the bone. What is really going to "drive" the traffic to the PHP
version? I think the old one got few JOBS AVAILABLE, so got few Developers,
so never really took off. It would be another MONUMENTAL task to take on
the duty of enticing Job Posters to use it.
Don't get me wrong -- I'd love for a really good jobs.php.net to exist with
tons of work for everybody (self included). But really think this one
through before you start folks, and do some basic homework about why the
previous incarnation disappeared.

You need to output the correct content-type header for the image (eg
image/gif), take it's size and output it as content-length, and
suppress error reporting. Then output the image data.

A string is already an array of chars :
$toto="test";
echo $toto[0]; // prints t
echo $toto[1]; // prints e
echo $toto[2]; // prints s
echo $toto[3]; // prints t

Not really; a string is better described as a type that has some
properties in common with the array type. Consider these two examples:
<?
$str = "Hello World!";
$str = array_reverse($str);
echo ($str);
?>
<?
$str = "Hello World!";
$chars = preg_split('//', $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
$str = implode('', array_reverse($chars));
echo ($str);

Hi!
I've run across a problem when using session_start and HTTP headers in
Mozilla. I'm trying to write a snippet of code that checks whether a
user has logged in or not. If the user has a session variable set I want
to display the page and if he or she hasn't I want to give them a 403
Forbidden header. My current code looks like this:
[top of page]
<?php
// Start session handling
session_start();
// Check login
if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["xyz"])
and $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["xyz"] == "yes") {
?>
<html>
[page contents]
</html>
<?php
}
else {
header("HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden");
}
?>
[end of page]
This works perfectly in IE 6 (I get a 403 Error Message) but in Mozilla
I just get an empty page (containing just the <html> and <head> tags).
Most other headers seem to work though.
If I use header("Location: somepage.php") both Mozilla and IE correctly
redirects the browser. I don't know if it's a bug in IE or Mozilla or if
I'm plain stupid, but perhaps someone else has experienced this and
are willing to give me a hint?

Vins,
Yes, talk to port 25 of any smtp server using php. You would need to
implement the full RFCs on smtp and its re-inventing the wheel. There
are already classes to talk to whichever smtp server you want. Whichever
smtp server you sent the mail to would log it, and the server it came
from. Competent smtp servers will want to do both forward and reverse
dns lookups on the computer connecting to it, and that is if it was an
open relay (allowing anything to connect). So you would hide the
originating computer in the chain in the email headers, but still leave
a full audit trail in the next computer's logs.
The only reason I can think of for wanting to do this is to send spam.
Its the fastest way for your isp to kick you off that I know of (faster
than not paying the bill). Its a Bad Idea (tm).

The mail() does exactly the same.... Nothing fancy about it.

Care to show the headers? I'm just curious as to how the messages are
actually produced. You have to keep in mind, that by doing something like
this, the chances are really good that the majority of your email will NOT
be delivered to its final destinations.
Allot of SMTP servers does quite a bit of sanity checking on the headers
received from an email message. They must, for example, include proper
Received By (which is what is used for tracking the email), To:, From:,
BCC:, etc headers. Without these, or with malformed headers, many SMTP
servers will reject and bounce the email. You'll need to be *very* carefull
in doing something like this.
If you don't understand in very much details how SMTP works, and how SMTP
servers delivers email, I'd suggest you do not attempt to tamper with it.
> is there know way to build a php smtp server ?
PHP can't run a script in a daemon that I am aware of, so the short awnser is
definately no. If you want a PHP script to simply send a message to a SMTP
server, then sure, there is the mail() function, or you can open a socket
to port 25 of the mail server. However, as I stated above, if you do not
include proper headers (which identifies the email and make the email
trackable), most SMTP servers will immediately reject the email.

I would do something like this:

if($var1 == 1 && in_array($CheckArr, $var2)) {

Oh yes - this would be Word via COM - if you are having problems getting

as examples of how to use them...

Hi David,
Your question has seen much debate in this newsgroup. I had much the same
problem and solved it by writing the following function:
/**
* wrapper for header( "Location: url" )
*/
function redirect( $url, $showMoved=false ) {
// set refresh to target $url
header( "Refresh: 0; url=$url" ) ;
// show page has moved
if ( $showMoved ) {
echo "<html><head><title>Moved to $url</title></head><body><p>This page
has moved to <a href=\"$url\">$url</a>.</body></html>" ;
}
// exit current script
exit ;
}
Since it doesn't use header( "Location: ..." ) you are able to write your
cookies before you redirect. It's about the most elegant solution to your
problem, short of redesigning your pages. Of course, I have noticed that if
you don't supply the html ($showMoved) Opera chokes. IE and Netscape seem to
handle it fine and I haven't tested Mozilla yet.
Hope it helps!

Is there a way to create a customised version of the index directory

The easiest way to accomplish that is by using switches. Here is an example:
switch($pageid) {
default:
include("default_page.inc");
break;
case "18":
include("page_18.inc");
break;
}
With that in your index.php page, it will look for the variable $pageid, and depending on what it is set to, display the appropriate information. In this instance, it will display the default index page by default (if $pageid is empty), or page_18.inc if $pageid = 18.
Hope that helps :o)

Yes you can do this. Start with your requirements, then do a flow chart.
From there you can design each process that you need. For customization you
will have to set a cookie for each user holding their customized options so
that the proper information will be displayed when they visit the site.

I've just compiled PHP 4.2.1 --with-mysql. I added no path to mysql, and
it worked fine as it always does. However, I'm keen to add mod_python as a

probably need to recompile PHP with a path to mysql:

The difference between adding a path and not is that without a path the
bundled mysql client library will be used, whereas if you add a path then
your system's mysql client libs will be used. It is usually a good idea
to use the system libaries if you have them because they are more likely
to match your server version, and if you are linking against other things
that might be linked against the mysql client libraries, then using the
system libraries is a better idea.

Yeah, me too, but the INSTALL file (or was it the message at the end of
the compile/make) was pretty clear about needing to provide a path if PHP
was going to share access to MySQL with things like mod_perl, mod_python,
etc.
I guess all will become clear when I unpack mod_python and have a go.

I guess there are a lot of people in my situation, who have used PHP for
years without having a good grip on some pretty fundamental stuff. The

I've just compiled PHP 4.2.1 with Apache 1.3.24 on RedHat 7.2. Everything
works just fine as usual. I've got a couple of queries, however.
I compiled with the --enable-magic-quotes option, then figured this was a
bad move as I've been caught out before with scripts that assume it is
on. So, I copied the php.ini-recommended file to php.ini, and now
phpinfo() tells me that magic_quotes_gpc and magic_quotes_runtime are off.
So, does compiling with --enable-magic-quotes have any effects if magic
quotes are turned off in php.ini? Are they "really" off?
Can all "--enable-whatever" options be turned on/off in php.ini,
regardless of ./configure options?
Does the "-with-config-file-path" option set the expected path to php.ini
(I always thought it was to Apache)? How come PHP still works whether the
file is there or not?

If you do:
--with-mysql, it can't be disabled in php.ini, however you can change
options in php.ini that deal with connecting to a mysql server. If you

been set to "on". I'm not sure if the php.ini-recommended gets updated

Hi
Can anyone in the group help, I'm trying to read and write from a serial
port using php.
So far using fsockopen I've managed to open and send data through a serial
port but I'm having real problems reading a response. I've tried fgets
really to no success can anyone spare me some ideas or thoughts?
Setup:
Linux box running serproxy ( A tcp to serial port proxy ) IP 192.168.123.192
I connect to this from a webserver running on another machine with:
<?php
$fp = fsockopen ("192.168.123.192", 5331, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";
} else {
if(fputs ($fp, "test data".chr(37))){
echo 'data sent';
} else {
echo 'no data sent';
}
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets ($fp,128);
}
fclose ($fp);
}
?>
The output is being read by a small ap that displays the serial port data
and allows me to send a response, I've logged the response I send at the
linux box on the serial port and serproxy is supposed to translate this back
to tcp port 5331 however I cannot read it with fgets?
Please help it's driving me mad and I'm sure I'm just being stupid : {

The headers you sent did not contain the necessary information. It
seems the mailing-list strips away the important part of the headers,
so that none of the headers you've received are sufficient.
We recommend that you contact the list administrator and ask if he/she

Why these admins can't catch a clue and, by the sheer volume of the emails,

Your approach actually seems pretty good to me. I've used two other
approaches in the past though and I'll describe them to give you some other
ideas.
Option 1: Multi-Page Form
You submit a document in stages. From the user's perspective, they click a
button to "add document". This lets them add the first page of the
document. Submit the first page and a web page displays the first page and
provides a link to add page. Click the add page button and receive another
form. Entering information into this form and submitting creates a new page
that gets appended to the document. Repeat process.
Option 2: Single form - auto page breaking
Have a single form people copy their document into. The entire form goes
into the database. When the system goes to display the document, you use
string functions to grab a range of characters from the text that get
displayed. For example, page 1 will display characters 0 through 2000.
Oop... I just remembered, I think I broke this out by words to make sure
individual words weren't chopped.
Hope that helps =)

-----Original Message-----
I'm trying to determine the best way to break dynamic content into pages
before flowing into a template (with "1|2|3" type paging icons at the bottom
of the page). I considered using a user-defined type code like "[pagebreak]"
that would allow content contributors to determine the page breaks
themselves when entering the article into the database. A parsing function
would grab the chunk of text/html between the appropriate [pagebreak] codes
for each page.
But this just doesn't seem a very elegant solution. Anyone know of a better
way to do this?

Hallo folks:
I have a bit of an issue with Paradox Table Searching...
I have a fairly large table (4MB+), here is the problem:
When I run a search for an element in the Table on
my localhost which is running Apache and php 4.1,
I have no issues with speed... However when I run it
on the Server at my work place, which is running IIS
Server (I am not sure which version), and the same
PHP version on my Workstation it takes ages to execute...
I have gotten suggestions and have revised my Script
over and over using odbc_exec() with SQL commands
SELECT myColumn FROM myTable, I have used
a COUNT SQL command suggested on this forum,
My general algorithm is as follows...
1) I create an Array using odbc_fetch_array this Array
contains one column from the Table I am searching...
2) Keep trying to matchup each element in the array
against the validation element being checked...
returning found within a sequential loop...
and eventually "Not Found"...
3) I suppose the sequential loop is whats killing me,
but the table is not ordered hence I am forced to
do a sequential search.. Does anyone else have
an idea for a quicker and much more efficient
algorithm...
Once again the issue of Speed is a non-factor on
my local machine running Apache but it does become a
factor when I run it on our Server, which is running an
IIS Server...
Thanks in advance...

attached mail follows:
Cool thanks, that probably will make my code execute a decent bit faster (as
the file gets larger).
But the array_search function never works for me (don't know why, I know
exactly what I'm searching for and that it is there), so I made my own
function..
//Find and return first occurance of a string ("$Find") in any line of
$LineArray
function FindKey($LineArray, $Find)
{
foreach($LineArray as $key => $value)
{
if (ereg($Find, $value))
return $key;
}
return FALSE;
} // END OF FindKey(...);
I think this combined with your code should help me a lot, thanks a ton.

Articles for an online magazine will use one template and load content
dynamically from a MySQL database. Assets and images for each article will
be stored in their own folder: e.g., www.mysite.com/topic/article
Even though a physical HTML page will not exist at
www.mysite.com/topic/article, is there a way to load the appropriate
articles in the template without actually specifying a physical page name if
soemone types that URL into their browser? I'd prefer to send people to
www.mysite.com/topic/article instead of
www.mysite.com/topic/article/template.php?id=39403848
I realize this may be more of an Apache issue than PHP, but, thought I'd see
if anyone here has dealt with something similar.
Thanks!
