    We are currently looking to put a very sizable document on a website so
    that it will be easily. The document is currently maintained by a
    single user in a MS Word format. Ideally it would be very nice if the
    index would take the user to the index of the appropriate section of the
    document, which would then drill down to the exact contents of that
    section. The document should also be easily updateable, via her web
    browser, by the user that has been tasked with maintaining the manual.
    Any suggestions for the design of such a project would be greatly
    appreciated.

    TIA

    I would recommend applying a simple templating system to the file. Anything
    that needs to be extracted out of the page for navigation purposes will be
    enclosed in special characters such as a chapter title.. [:chapter =
    "CHAPTER 2: Beating a Dead Horse":]. A very simple script parses the file
    and extracts these strings to build an interactive Table of Contents.

    I hate to say it, but the easiest way to maintain this might just be to
    do all of the hyperlinking from within Word, with its own
    function/buttons, etc, and then save the Word document as HTML. Yeah,
    it'll be bloated and crappy HTML, but it'll load into a browser. Then,
    when she needs to update it, she just updates the word document, and
    resaves it as HTML format in the web root...

    1. Download from http://mysql.com 2. Follow the instructions in the download.

    If you get stuck, you've *GOT* to say which *VERSION* of Windows, since they are all too damn different. :-)

    First, thanks to the people who've helped me so far.

    I'm a UI designer who's suddenly found himself responsible for a very large website that integrates services from no less than four different providers, and I've been dumped into learning PHP on my own under a heavy deadline.

    Anyway, I'm catching data from a form post and writing an XML document out of it. That's done, the server can process the XML correctly. But, from there, I need that file to be appended to a POST to a script on another server for processing. I've tried looking up how this is accomplished, and Richard Lynch was kind enough to point me in the direction of PostToHost, which got me off to a jump start on how to find more information.

    So now I'm at a point where I need help.

    After opening the socket, can I declare a multi-part POST and then start sending the data? Such as:

    fputs($fp, "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=AaB03x\n"); fputs($fp, "--AaB03x\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="variable1"\n"); fputs($fp, "\n"); fputs($fp, "Variable 1 Data\n"); fputs($fp, "--AaB03x\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="files"; filename="myFile.xml"\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-Type: text/plain\n"); fputs($fp, "\n"); fputs($fp, "... contents of myFile.xml ...\n"); fputs($fp, "--AaB03x--\n");

    And again, I've only been doing PHP a week, so if I'm following a totally wrong track here, feel free to smack me around.

    As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

    attached mail follows:

    > fputs($fp, "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=AaB03x\n"); > fputs($fp, "--AaB03x\n"); > fputs($fp, "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="variable1"\n"); > fputs($fp, "\n"); > fputs($fp, "Variable 1 Data\n"); > fputs($fp, "--AaB03x\n"); > fputs($fp, "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="files"; >filename="myFile.xml"\n"); > fputs($fp, "Content-Type: text/plain\n"); > fputs($fp, "\n"); > fputs($fp, "... contents of myFile.xml ...\n"); > fputs($fp, "--AaB03x--\n");

    That looks quite reasonable, EXCEPT:

    It's *POSSIBLE* that "Aa03x" will be *IN* the document... I'd choose a longer and more random boundary, and maybe even be 100% sure by using something like this:

    $myfile = file('/full/path/to/myFile.xml') or die("Could not open myFile.xml"); $myfile = implode('', $myfile); $boundary = md5(uniqid('')); # Hey, the odds are one in a zillion, but why not? while (strstr($myfile, $boundary)){ $boundary = md5(uniqid('')); }

    And I think you need a different boundary for *EACH* part of the multipart stuff... But maybe that's just me thinking wrongly...

    Other than that, I'm guessing that you *MIGHT* need to somehow "escape" the contents of the data...

    I dunno if browsers and web-servers expect that data to be uuencoded, or base64 encoded, or anything like that... But if they do, and you don't do that, well, it ain't gonna work. PHP has the functions for doing it, I just don't know if you need them or which one...

    But you're definitely on the right track, and you're down to minutia at this point.

    This _could_ be happening because you're viewing the data using different systems and software. Each has it's own character sets. This could throw things off, making the output LOOK different, even when it's the same.

    The website could be running PHP as an Apache module (or some other binary) while the command line uses a standalone binary. They could be using different php.ini files. They could be different versions.

    Hello all, I am very new to PHP and I have added some minor PHP to my website. I would like to make a PHP calander to keep track of things going on. Could someone tell me how I can get the first day of every month.

    For Example: 01 Jul 2002 was a Monday. 01 Mar 2002 will be a Thursday

    I need the dates to start my tables so they insert the numbers in the right day.

    Thanks, Attila

    attached mail follows:

    $today = date("w"); // $today will result in '1' $today = date("D"); // $today will result in 'Mon' $today = date("l"); // $today will result in 'Monday'

    Now if you wanted to feed the script something like this:

    $string = "01 Jul 2002"; $today = date("l",strtotime($string));

    This will result in the long textual day of '01 Jul 2002', so 'Monday' or if you interchange the "l" in the first part of the date function with "w" you will get the the day of the week, numeric, i.e. "0" (Sunday) to "6" (Saturday) or if you use "D" you will get the short textual day so 'Mon'

    I hope all of that makes sense to you. Check out the php manual for the function date and strtotime.

    You could use mktime() with date, too...

    $first_day = date("w",mktime(0,0,1,$month,1,$year));

    Set your $month and $year accordingly.

    I've been trying to get a simple php page to produce any output through a Jigsaw server.

    I've got past the problem of cgi.redirect and now my server launches php and returns a "page" but it's blank. There is no evidence of my html or php code having been seen by the server. I've run the php script from the command line and I get the html code I'd expect.

    With Jigsaw's debug facility DISabled for the cgi scripts I get the following html served to the browser: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> </HEAD> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML> which produces a totally empty, white page.

    With Jigsaw's debug facility Enabled, I get two lines on the page and the same two lines (without html tags of any sort) in "view source" display: X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.1 Content-type: text/html

    At this point, my php script file contains only php commands - no html.

    Any clues?

    If these two lines are showing up in the BROWSER, then something is pretty wrong...

    They're supposed to be headers...

    So something could be sending out a blank line or something before these, somehow...

    If they are just showing up in debugging output, and they *ARE* headers, then PHP *IS* getting invoked, and then dying when it tries to execute your code.

    Try using *JUST* this in your PHP document:

    <?php phpinfo();?>

    It's pretty hard to screw up something that short, so you'll know the PHP is valid :-)

    And, if it works, you get a wonderfully long HTML document spewed out. It's so fun to type so little and get so much :-)

    AT seemed flaky when I tried to use it. You can use the Program Scheduler and have it open up IE with an address. The command line would be something like

    C:\whatever\path\iexplore.exe http://www.yourpage.com/script.php

    And somewhere in the config you can tell it to "End this program after X minutes". Set that at whatever and IE will shutdown after that many minutes. Seems to work well if you can't get AT working...

    Hi

    I want to use my cvs to log to php.net servers and get the manual files and translate it to arabic .. How can I log to cvs and what the important setting and info for that ? How can I log using Wincvs

    attached mail follows:

    >Problem: How do I display all the tblCountriesOfOperation for one >tblContacts record SO THAT MULTIPLE COUNTRIES CAN BE ADDED OR DELETED FOR >THAT RECORD?

    create table contacts( contact_id int(11) unsigned auto_increment unique not null primary key, name text );

    create table countries( country_code char(2) unique not null primary key, name text );

    create table contact_countries( contact_id int(11) unsigned, country_code char(2), unique key contact_country_key(contact_id, country_code) );

    This last table is a "lookup" table, or cross-join table, or ...

    Lots of names for it.

    Basic idea is to just have a running list of contacts and countries "matched up" by their IDs.

    Sample Data: insert into contacts(name) values('Rasmus Lerdorf'); insert into contacts(name) values('Ze\'ev Suraski'); insert into contacts(name) values('Andi Gutman);

    insert into countries(country_code, name) values('US', 'United States'); insert into countries(country_code, name) values('CA', 'Canada'); insert into countries(country_code, name) values('IL', 'Israel');

    insert into contact_countries(1, 'US'); # I think Rasmus is still in Silicon Valley somewhere insert into contact_countries(1, 'CA'); # But he used to work in Canada insert into contact_countries(2, 'US'); # Zeev and Andi are mostly in Israel, but insert into contact_countries(2, 'IL'); # but come to the US for conferences frequently. insert into contact_countries(3, 'US'); insert into contact_countries(3, 'IL');

    The above assumes that your table was empty, so Rasmus is 1, Ze'ev is 2, and Andi is 3...

    This "middle" table, contact_countries, lets you associate as many, or as few, people with countries as you need.

    The display code could be something like this:

    <HTML><BODY><FORM ACTION=<?=$PHP_SELF?> METHOD=POST> <?php $contact_id = (int) $_REQUEST['contact_id']; # Don't really care if it's _GET or _POST # (int) is a crude but effective anti-hack measure if (isset($_POST['contact_countries'])){ # First, wipe out all the "old" contact/country for this person: $query = "delete from contact_countries where contact_id = $contact_id"; mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error()); # Then put in the "new" settings: while (list($country_code) = each($contact_countries)){ $country_code = substr($country_code, 0, 2); # Crude but effective anti-hack $query = "insert into contact_countries(contact_id, country_code) "; $query .= " values ($contact_id, $country_code)"; mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error()); } } # Display contact name: $query = "select name from contacts where contact_id = $contact_id"; $contact = mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error()); list($name) = mysql_fetch_row($contact); echo "Contact: <B>$name</B><BR>\n<BR>\n"; # Now to display current country selections: # Crucial: ' order by name ' lets me run through $contact_countries and $countries "in parallel" $query = "select countries.country_code from contact_countries, countries "; $query .= " where contact_id = $contact_id "; $query .= " and countries.country_code = contact_countries.country_code "; $query .= " order by name "; $contact_countries = mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error()); $query = "select country_code, name from countries order by name "; $all_countries = mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error()); $contact_country_row = 0; while (list($code, $name) = mysql_fetch_row($all_countries)){ if ($code == mysql_result($contact_countries, 0, 0)){ $selected = 'SELECTED'; $contact_country_row++; } else{ $selected = ''; } echo "<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME=contact_countries[$code] $selected> $name<BR>\n"; } ?> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE='Update Countries'> </FORM></BODY></HTML>

    This code is untested, but should be okay other than typos...

    Disclaimer: is_null() is new-fangled, and while I assume it matches up with SQL NULL, it's *POSSIBLE* that PHP's NULL is for something entirely different than SQL NULL. Read the docs.

    Several options are available.

    In all cases, I've replaced the if/else with the trinary ? : operator. Less clunky.

    $email = is_null($row[0]) ? 'NULL' : $email; # Didja know you could just hit TAB instead of that funky \t stuff? Way prettier, IMNSHO. print(" <tr><td>$email</td>...");

    print(" <TR><TD>" . is_null($row[0]) ? 'NULL' : $email . "</TD>";

    >i'm new and i'm trouble with this code :'( can U help me please ??

    This would be much easier if you told us what was going wrong...

    I'll point out the ones I see, but it's just a guessing game (not a very fun guessing game).

    >while ($cd_tbl = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) >{

    >if(is_int("$cd_id") = TRUE)

    This will never be TRUE...

    "$cd_id" *FORCES* $cd_id to be a string.

    And, actually, you want == here, not = The = is used to store a value in something. The == is used to test for equality

    Since it comes from the database, $cd_id will probably always be a string anyway...

    You can't do this:

    >echo "<td bgcolor="$bgcolor"><font face=Verdana size=1><b>$cd_id</b></font></td>"; ^ ^^ ^ ^ | |\ | | PHP sees And \ Way too confused by now... this as the this \ beginning is the \ of a string. *END* of\ that This is junk... string.

    You want:

    echo "<td bgcolor=\"$bgcolor\"><font face=Verdana size=1><b>$cd_id</id></font></td>";

    Or, since HTML accepts ' as well as ", so long as they are 'matched'

    echo "<td bgcolor='$bgcolor'><font face=Verdana size=1><b>$cd_id</id></font></td>";

    Or, if you only care about browsers working, and not some pie-in-the-sky W3C proclamation of style:

    echo "<td bgcolor=$bgcolor><font face=Verdana size=1><b>$cd_id</id></font></td>";

    You should, however, realize that many, many, many people will *NOT* have Verdana font installed. They will see that icky Times font. You can list multiple fonts:

    echo "<td bgcolor=$bgcolor><font face=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial size=1><b>$cd_id</id></font></td>";

    'Course, if you start putting spaces in the font, you *NEED* the quotes:

    echo "<td bgcolor=$bgcolor><font face='Verdana,Comic sans,Helvetica,Arial' size=1><b>$cd_id</id></font></td>";

    You may also want to tack \n at the end of every string, so when you do "View Source" in your browser, you can see something intelligible.

    echo "<td bgcolor=$bgcolor><font face=Verdana size=1><b>$cd_id</id></font></td>\n";

    Disclaimer: The following statements are based strictly on heresay:

    I don't think the DOM in PHP lets you have any "hooks" for mal-formed XML.

    It either is well-formed, or DOM pukes all over your pretty blue suede shoes.

    I think you may be better off writing a SAX parser-based XML algorithm.

    You'll be able to deal with the idiosyncracies of your HTML-coders better, and to recover with more flexibility from the errors.

    I think DOM will give you a line number and column (character within the line) number, and maybe even an XML error message. But you won't be able to convince it to just "accept" the HTML and move on with life as it is. You'll be forced to "fix" the HTML to match XML specs, which, like is just wrong, since HTML isn't XML.

    I *THINK* ignore_user_abort() is only useful with some browsers...

    Or, perhaps, it relies on Apache figuring out that the connection is dead, and reporting back to PHP, and there's a fair amount of time-lag in that process...

    Or, perhaps, it never really worked very well...

    All I now for sure is that I have this vague idea in my head that it's just not something you can really rely on.

    It's still convenient to kill lengthy processes, but not for mission-critical knowledge of the HTTP status.

    If you *NEED* to be sure, I think you're stuck with Java applet/servelet setup, from what I hear. (Strictly heresay.)

    Maybe try using Keep-Alive or whatever and sending out some HTML as well as the PDF, just to see...

    Is the *NAME* of the ACTION= file ending in .pdf? If it's not, make it be .pdf, and use ForceType to force PHP to parse it.

    Perhaps IE is just upset that you told it to expect an HTML file with the URL, but then sent a PDF.

    Perhaps:

    where posted = max(posted)

    assuming no *TWO* are ever posted within the same second, which is a very dangerous assumption for a busy site...

    Can't you just pass in the ID of the actual header you want changed, instead of only its parent?

    I have a situation where I have one browser window open for lets say web application 'x'. Now I want my user to goto application 'y' on the same domain in a new browser window by passing the authentication information from application 'x' to application 'y'. I obviously donot want my session variables to be continued in application 'y'. But at the same time I donot want to destroy the session of my application 'x'

    Since they r in two COMPLETELY separate browser windows, both sessions should logically be separate. But for some reason IE & netscape take a new window in the same Instance.

    Is there any way I can open a new browser instance, such that the same session is not continued and a new session in created leaving the old session as it is?

    Or is there any other work around for the same?

    The Snoopy class would do this nicely. http://snoopy.sourceforge.net/

    That may be too complicated of class as you mentioned, but it's probably the best solution for you, and once setup, your task will be very easy to do with this class. I had a similar situation where I needed to do a simple form post, and found some very basic code, but it slowed by app down so much it had to be replaced eventually anyway.

    Probably because of the space in the directory "dealing room" - you'd be best advised to avoid spaces in directory names.

What could be the problem here.

    At a guess I'd say you've got something in your code that looks something like this:

    Include("some/path/newbooks.php");

    You'll need to check the 'some/path' bit to see if that is where the file 'newbooks.php' is actually stored. Making another guess based on the above I'd also check that 'BOOKS' is the right directory name, particularly keeping in mind that 'BOOKS' is a completely different directory to 'Books' and to 'books' on a unix system.

    CYA, Dave

    either your postmaster is not running... or your postmaster does not accept TCP/IP connections... read the documentation for PostgreSQL Installation it has tons of info there for your convenience...

    try editing your pg_hba.conf file for postgreSQL... so it will accept tcp IP connections:

    host all <IP> 255.255.255.0 trust

    where IP is the ip address of the host that will access the postgreSQL database at the server.

    i hope i got it right

    Hi Jimmy,

    In many cases, I'd go for a regex, though with this (because it's just a straight replacement), I'd just use str_replace (and since about the closest thing to a vertical tab would be a new line in html, use that as the replacement):

    $string = str_replace("^K", "\n", $string);

    Hey,

    Anybody has ideas on how to detect the connection speed of visitors in order to automatically take them to the Hi-speed or low-speed version of a site?

    We want to make a hi and low speed side, but I would prefer not to confuse visitors with a page where they have to choose between hi or low speed. I personnaly find these annoying, as they are a useless step towards the information I am looking for when I am checking a website.

    What I was thinking about is doing a reverse dns lookup on the client's IP and try to determine quickly if he's on a low or hi speed connection. For a very good proportion of visitors, I think it is possible to determine it.

    These would go to the low-speed site: "dialup" (ex.: dialup-209.244.92.247.dial1.dallas1.level3.net) "aol" "ppp" ...

    These would go to the hi-speed site: "cable" (ex.: wc08.ym.rnc.net.cable.rogers.com) "dsl" (ex.: mpy-77-035.adsl.reimari.net) "home" (ex.: cp111494-a.roemd1.lb.nl.home.com) ... and any IP starting by 24., since these seems to be owned only by cable modems.

    With a little bit of tweaking it would be possible to properly route more than half of the visitors, simply by looking at their IP address and associtated hostname. The remaining would go to the default side (hi or low), and we would make it easy to switch from the hi-speed side to the low-speed one and vice-versa.

    I am open to suggestions on ways to improve such system and general comments..
