Hi all!

I would like to fill the values from my $_POST array to another array
called xy which is not an associative array.

F.Ex:

$_POST['smthing'] should be $xy[0] etc...

How do I do this?

Best regards,

Is this particular vulnerability only in existence when the server is pretty
open? I mean, on my particular host, I can't FTP to anything outside my
docroot, and I can't use SSH, telnet, etc.

phpinfo() says my session.save-path is /tmp -- since (in theory) I can't get
the files via telnet, FTP or HTTP, the only option I can think of would be
another user on the host gaining access to it via a PHP script... which I'm
not sure can be done, and can't really test, because I wouldn't know how to
do it.

That's for you, but when you run a PHP script, you run it as user
Apache, www, nobody, etc...however your system is set up (if PHP is a
module).

Yes, the attack could only come from someone on the same server. That's
why dedicated servers are preferred and why safe_mode is used on virtual
aervers. Safe_mode may protect the sessions, too, not sure.

<?
$_SESSION['Logged_On'] = 1;
$_SESSION['Admin'] = 1;
$s = serialize($_SESSION);

$fp = fopen("/tmp/bad_session.file","w");
fwrite($fp,$s);
fclose($fp);
?>

http://www.yoursite.com?PHPSESSID=bad_session

I don't have a virtual server environment to actually test this out
with, though...and it would require a lot of work from the hacker...but
what else do they have to do. Get a dedicated server...they really
aren't that expensive anymore.

This solution is no garantuee that the authenticated user is in control
during that session. The only thing you realy *know* is that there was a
succesful authentication at the beginning of the current session and you
would *assume* that the user is at the client screen during the
complete session. (the authenticated user could leave the browser
unattended).

<snip>

</snip>

The only thing you *know* for sure is that there was a valid
authentication during some *previous* session. And that *some* user has
still access to that client based on some client specific authentication
(pressing ESC during Windows login dialog). So what's your definition of
'authenticated'.

<snip>

>What's the most secure way, that's not easily spoofed?
>
</snip>

My point is this. You will never know for sure if the authenticated user
is still in control in whatever session (not even the first). If you
realy need to be sure, you would use authentication more than once
during a session. For example a first time login and then again just
before the user wants to post or read important information.

If this is of no concern to your application, than it will be no problem
to use cookies with some session identifier to allow continuing without
authentication during the next session. But it might be wise to force
authentication if a user where to enter some kind of admin area of your
site during the second session.

Hi Folks:

Just for interest sake, for those of you who have messed
with C know about Pointers hence probably know that
one can access stuff from Memory Locations in very wierd
ways via pointers and Arrays:

int * ptr;
ptr = array[0];
ptr=ptr-1;

The last statement does not generate an error but lets you
access that location...
Firstly I want to know if PHP has pointers (I know it uses
dereferencing values via &) and if it does use pointers
does it let you do stuff like this (or does its nature not
let you interact with the lower level hardware components?
I've never seen the need to investigate if there are pointers
in PHP but it would be an interesting thing to know...
Being a Server Side tool, it would not surprise me if it did,
it appears to have some similarities to C anywayz notably
function printf()

It may generate an error. Depends on where ptr-1 happens to be. In any
case it's not a bright thing to do as the effects are undefined and
unknowable.

PHP doesn't have pointers as such. It has references but you can't do math
on them to create other references.

Pointers don't have anything to do with lower level hardware components.
They're just one way of dealing with memory.

Hello All,

I, having problems getting HTTP_SESSION_VARS to work the way I think they
should.
Shouldn't I just be able to do something like:

in a file called index.php I have the following;

<?php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
The session_id is <?php echo "\"".session_id()."\""; ?>

In index2.php I then have
<?php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
The session_id is <?php echo "\"".session_id()."\""; ?>
<?php
echo "\$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count']=".$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count'].".<BR>";
?>
</body>
</html>

Now when I go to the first one all is great and the session id is shown. But
when I click on the "Next" link I get the next page with the same session id
shown (all well and good) but no value in $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count']!!!

Where am I going wrong?

attached mail follows:

I have a php script that queries a mysql db and build a form on a page for
each row returned. Each form has four fields and a thumbnail of a JPEG.
Below the image is a link to view the full image in a new window by using a
javascript function. (No javascript jibes before I go any further, it was
the only way I knew how). When I enter a query and say 10 records are
returned (10 forms are created with the same name), the data and appropriate
thumbnails are displayed correctly. When I click on the link the full image
is only displayed for the first six links. After this clicking on the link
has no effect. In the example above, the first five images were the same and
the last five were also the same. I should also mention that when I load
this page, I get an IE error 'unterminated string constant' but the page
does load correctly. I have checked my code for closing quotes etc but they
seem OK. Is there a max number of forms that can be created on a page or do
I have to name them all different or is there some other explanation as to
why the images won't display. Any ideas would be helpful and I can post more
code if required.

The call to the function is:

echo "<td width='200' colspan='2' align='center' class=labels><a
href='javascript:void(0)' onclick='ViewFullImage(\"$img_code\")'>View full
size</a></td>";

The function is:

function ViewFullImage(strCode)
{

msg=window.open("","msg","height=400,width=750,left=20,top=80,scrollbars=yes
,resizable=yes");
msg.document.write("<html><title>Decoration Image</title>");
msg.document.write("<body bgcolor='white' onblur=window.close()>");

      msg.document.write("<center><img src=images/" + strCode + ".jpg
align=center valign=center></center>");
      msg.document.write("</body></html><p>");

Obviously there is a problem. What does 'load correctly' mean?

My guess is that $img_code contains a space?

Hi All,

I'm looking for a simple was to correct a list of proper nouns given all in lower case!

For example

given $string="london paris rome";

I would like "London Paris Rome".

However there is one cavet; if the word already has a captital anywhere in it, it should be left alone!!!

Is there a soultion using regular expressions?

Also is there one for removing multiple spaces?

i..e given "A B C D E" it would give "A B C D E".

I have never used regular expression before and thought that if I had some examples like these, I could go from there.

I have been looking around in the PHP function listing for a function that can find or match one character from a string. I thought it would be something like post_str() or something but never found anything close to that. I get the idea of post and str from the SQL command. I did check the ereg() but it is so confusing, no clear instruction on it.

--clip-- $str = ""; $str = "X"; $str = "XY" $str = "Y"; $str = "YX"; --clip--

Those same variables from above, I only need to know if hte "X" exist in the string, nothing else.

Look at the archives for the past couple of days, it has been covered in some detail. Make sure to compile PHP without apsx, and for practical purposes move the PHP executable to the /usr/local/bin directory. Then put this as the first line of the PHP file you want to run from a CRON;

#!/usr/local/bin/php

Then set up your CRON.

HTH!

Standard mail() doesn't do auth.

Have a look the the Pear mail.php or google for "php smtp auth"

Hi all,

I am finally spending some time converting a million and one functions into a class - this is for a software issue tracking system.

I have:

class issue { var var ...

function issue() { //default constructor //initialise all variables to defaults, and start getting the stuff from forms }

function issue($number) { //1 variable constructor // Query database and populate variables accordingly } }

My question is: will this work? does PHP OOP support more than one constructor? If my syntax is wrong, please let me know the correct syntax.

Thanks

David R

attached mail follows:

PHP does not support multiple constructors. But, It does support variable argument lists, so you can fake it with func_get_args() and func_get_num_args():

function issue() {

if( func_get_num_args() > 0 ) { $args = func_get_args()

} else {

// do something else... } }

I'm no guru, but here goes anyway ...

default variable values can simply be set with a "var" statement:

var $somevar1 = "value1"; var $somevar2 = "value2";

or with a "set" function:

var $somevar1; var $somevar2;

function setsomevar1() { $this->somevar1 = "value1"; }

function setsomevar2() { $this->somevar2 = "value2"; }

One "set" function could probably query a database and set all your vars in one go:

function setallvars() { // query db, get values $this->somevar1 = "value1"; $this->somevar2 = "value2"; }

Amyway, you could then call the set var functions from within your constructor:

function issue() { setallvars(); or setsomevar1(); setsomevar2(); }

Just a suggestion. No doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong ... I'm new to OOP myself.

No. But, here's a workaround:

class issue {

function issue($number=NULL) { if ( is_null($number) ) { echo 'doing the first function'; } else { $this->issue1($number); } }

function issue1($number) { echo 'in the second function'; }

}

# To call first function only... $Obj = new issue();

echo '<hr />';

# To call second function... $Obj = new issue('blue');

Thank you very much for your time, but this strips the e-mail address and lives the domain. Could you give me some hints on how to make it working the opposite way?

Let alone, it assumes TLD's are 2-4 characters long, when in reality, they're presently up to 6 characters long.

preg_replace('/^([a-z0-9_.=+-])+([a-z0-9-]+\.)+([a-z]{2,6})$/', '\\1', $your_string);

I am getting data froma website for stock information. If I type in the brower the URL I get a text file display list this;

Date,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume 16-Jul-02,7.92,8.10,7.68,7.82,605500 15-Jul-02,7.98,8.02,7.59,8.02,577200 12-Jul-02,7.80,8.00,7.57,7.95,411100 11-Jul-02,7.82,7.94,7.34,7.80,802400

Now I want to break each line and then seperate each line by the commas. The amount of linesin the file is never known so I assume I have to use something like a foreach or while statement,but I am not sure the best way to do it. This is what I have so far.

$Symbol = "IKN"; $LookupUrl = "http://demos.inxdesign.com/download?sym=$Symbol&format=.txt"; $Results = implode('', file("$LookupUrl")); $Data = array(); split("\n", $Results) = array_push($Data, $line)

The end result I am trying to get is each line to be an element in an array. Later I will go back and stepthrough each element of the array and then split that by the commas and have it output into an HTML table.At least this is the best way I can think to deal with it. I suppose a better way to do this would be to make this an associative array and have the data of each line be associated with the date then I could producea variable something like $StockData[16-Jul-02][value], but I don't know how to do any of that.

So, now you're working an another approach to the stock quote question, eh?

Use these functions: fopen() fgetcsv()

Look at the manual on how to use them. If, for some reason, that's not clear, check out the archives for this list on http://groups.google.com/.

The answer is probably yes.

I do a "session_start()" followed by a "$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count']=2" on one page. Then I go to another page and do a "session_start()" again; unfortunately the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count'] is empty!!!

I tried doing a "session_register('count2'); $count2=123;" in the first page followed by another page where I display "$count2" and that works fine.

Why?

If you're going to use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS, then you have to use session_register().

Next page: <? session_start(); echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count']; ?>

That should work. If you use $_SESSION, instead, then you don't have to use session_register.

That's how I understand it...

If you are using an auto_increment primary key field named id, then you would use this:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=2 LIMIT 1

Just so long as you know that if for some reason you delete that row, there will NEVER Be another id of 2, unless you set it that way.

If you only want to select certain columns from the row, then list those columns in place of the wildcard.

What is row #2?? The second row when the table is ordered by the first column? second column? ascending? decending? without an ORDER BY in your query...row #2 can be different every time.

Once you add your ORDER BY, you can use LIMIT 1,1 on the end of your query to have it just return the second row.

Howdy everyone,

I'd like to get everyone's input on Jobs and Certs. I know there are a couple Certifications for web developers out there, such as the CIW and CWP certifications.

Here are my questions:

1. What is the best method to go about becoming certified? 2. What is the best way to go about getting into the web development industry? 3. If you have ever taken online courses relating to web development, what is your opinion on them? Good, bad, ugly? 4. Which certification is most beneficial? I know that CWP requires work experience before becoming certified past certain points, and CIW does not require this. 5. Why can't I remember what question five was? Doh.

At any rate, I'm current a data entry clerk, but have quite a bit of web experience (none at a job, though), and I know that I have TONS more to learn, but I am very passionate about it and want to be able to do it as a career. I just don't know where the hell to start, and I know that some of you might be able to offer some advice in this area.

Thanks in advance! This is very important to me, so I thought I'd ask the people that would know best :o)

I don't know if this is what you want to hear, but I can tell you that as a rule, I don't hire people who advertise certifications on their resume.

I've found that they correlate pretty strongly with incompetence, to the point where nothing saves me more time when filtering through resumes than first throwing away the ones covered with acroyms starting with C or MC.

People who have the skills, demonstrate it through their work experience, walking through their sample code with me, and their ability to explain how they would perform a task. People who trumpet certifications overwhelmingly seem to be people who were unable to advance their careers based on the strength of their skills, and so chose to resort to a paper method instead. I'm not saying anything about you here, just suggesting that you consider alternate means of impressing employers.

:) ... this is a laugh.

There must be one Miguel for 10,000 other managers. What Miguel said above is what any rational, competent manager would do. I cannot tell you how many times I send my resume but I put a link to my code (they can download entire apps so they can see not only snippets but how I organize or disorganize my code). No one, not one, has ever bothered to look at my code and questioned me. I interviewed with Jeffrey Friedl of regex fame and even he did not look at my code (although when I said I did not know something he laughed and said he did not know either, "that's why we have reference books").

I think getting the CERTS is not bad. Certainly the smart person will do as Miguel suggests, but I think he's in the VAST minority. I know a guy who has a consulting firm. It's a M$ shop. They BLAST their M$ certs everywhere. The software business is too new imho. Most people who should know better will be bamboolzed by CERTS.

One manager sent out an email to everyone who responded to an ad. He offered general suggestions to everyone. I thought that was a dern good thing. He suggested people send Brainbench exam results. I'm sure certs would have helped as well. Even though this guy was "nice" I doubt he could get around code. imho, there are just far, far too few people who can judge someone by their code. I say get the certs. Personally, I could never work for someone who needed that so I don't bother, but if you want a job, I can't see that it hurts AT ALL.

Heck, I'm gonna rant if I keep going ... ever have someone ask you if you know FTP :) ... like a smart person could not show another smart person about that in 15 minutes. It's just amazing what passes for competence in the IT world. I had a boss who I swear sincerely said he could "double click a mouse". The guy was serious. I did not last at that job :)

It's not random. Strings need to be enclosed. You can use single or double quotes, but you have to use them.

Technically, without an ORDER BY in your query, the database can return a different row each time with this query. Without an ORDER BY, how do you define row #2? The database just stores the data in any way it wants to and doesn't order it unless you tell it to.

time() will give you a UNIX timestamp. Use it to do the math.

Let's assume you've set your session timestamp (assume it's called $session_time) to time() at the time of login. Now, in the script...

if ((time() + 300) > $session_time) {

}

This would be a check to see if the session is still valid. Timewise.

So under the time() call, comparing it to a simple numerical value such as "300" it knows that you are talking about 300 seconds? Is that because it is a unix timestamp?

Yes. time() returns a UNIX timestamp (currently a 10-digit number) representing the number of seconds since a certain date (sometime in 1972).

While this isn't your problem, it's nicer coding. Single quotes and forward slashes:

if ( file_exists('c:/pdf_reports/dealing/test.txt') )

> if (file_exists("c:\\pdf_reports\\test.txt")) > Then it can detect the file is there! why?

Probably, PHP doesn't have permissions on the "dealing" directory or you misspelled it.

New York PHP Presents:

"Implementing an Object-based Web Framework in PHP"

NYPHP's monthly meeting is a week away (7/24), and after an informal networking event last month, we're excited to offer what certainly will be a highly valuable presentation to many.

Web frameworks and object-orientated programming are forging the way for increasingly functional Internet applications, and PHP is continuing to be an integral part of the progress. Two top developers from Tanjero (http://tanjero.com) will be showing us how they've leveraged the AMP Technology suite to quickly provide powerful, yet reusable and cost-effective web applications for their clients.

NYPHP meetings are the 4th Wednesday of every month at 6:30pm, with this meeting slated for 7/24. Please visit http://nyphp.org for location details, a map, and further information.

Does anyone have any more links to articles like that?

No, I don't believe so. But I'm sure you can set up something to use with array_walk().

Assuming you have an array of colors called $color (and assuming I haven't misread or misinterpreted any information), you can do the following to directly print your colors.

// Prints out all colors comma-separated. print(join(", ", $color));

// Prints out all colors linebreak-separated (HTML-wise). print(join("<br>", $color));

Start with turning on line wrapping in your email client...

Now, your sentence isn't specific enough. What do you mean by you "want the print out all my colors?" Specifically what do you want your output to look like?

Seems like a... strange thing to do. Anyway. Since I do not know of any other way (if there is, anyone, tell), this is what you will have to do.

1. Open the file with fopen() 2. Perform a regular expression on the content 3. Print the parsed cntents

For example:

$fp = fopen('html.html', 'r'); $content = fread($fp, filesize(html.html));

preg_match("/<body>(.*?)<\/body>/s", $content, $matches);

The parsed contents are now in $matches[1].

I still don't understand why you want to do this, though. Seems like there must be a better way.

File() will read the file into an array, each element of the array will be a line from the file. Explode() will then split that line by the delimiter you choose...

So something like this:

$file = file("filename.txt"); foreach($file as $line) { $part = explode(',',$line); //now you have an array, $part[], //that holds each element of the //current line, do what you will }

So? Use exec(). Use it twice if you have to. If you can run a command on the command line, then you can run it through exec. Only difference is if the user PHP is running as can run the command.

Inside the exec(), issue whatever commands you'd type into a command line...

exec('NET STOP foo');

--Dan

attached mail follows:

You need a program to control the ASP process. This is proably some sort of command line tool and you just put whatever you would type in the commandline into the exec() function. (in quotes of course!)

Hi.

I got a trouble I don't know if Apache or PHP is in fault. Let's say I got something like :

ErrorDocument 404 /engine.php

If I make a form which use POST and redirect to something which doesn't exist, then a phpinfo() in engine.php won't show the variables. Am I wrong thinking it should ? Is there a way to make this work ?

Thanks.

Actaully, neither Apache or PHP is at fault. The ErrorDocument (either in httpd.conf or an .htaccess file) follows absolute paths, so you are calling your engine.php out of the root directory of the machine. So the question is, do you have engine.php in the / folder? If not you can put it there or just adjust your ErrorDocument command to point to the path of the file.

Hope this helps.

Can posting to a non existent page give a different error? I know it gives 404 on mine. Probably not much help but it's a thought!

XPress Tags is a great format, and easy to work with for auto-generated content.

However, all you can do with it is prepare text for a single running block - not lay out an entire document (unless you're extremely creative with rules and positioning, I guess).

Hi there,

I am wondering how many requests at one time php can serve before the site brakes down. Someone told me that my site has been down yesterday for a while after I did anounce it through a university email list going to 2500 users.

Maybe there is a smart artikle on that.

It depends on:

- Your network connection

- Your hard drive

- Your RAM

- Your CPU

- Your database

- The design of your site

- What the users are doing

- Your caching strategy

Ever tried the basic ab (apache benchmark)?? It comes with the unix distro of it.. not sure about windows.. YOu can test say 1000 requests with as many as you want at the same time..

Maybe that will provide you with a means of making meaningful comparisons. There will be a "php" aspect to it, php opposed to say 3-tier java, but also things like is php a cgi, apache module or actually compiled into apache.

When I hear of sites "going down" I perhaps incorrectly start saying there is something wrong. They should get slower but with connection throttling etc they should never actually crash. Or am I in WonderWorld?

[snip] I don't know if this is what you want to hear, but I can tell you that as a rule, I don't hire people who advertise certifications on their resume.

+1 Miguel

I recently had the opportunity to hire someone for a basic web developer position, so I decided to approach the process differently. I decided that in all fairness I would give each candidate who applied the chance to prove themselves. I started with a written test with 20 questions, basic web development, mostly multiple choice. The highest score was a 68, (out of a possible 100) posted by a recent (less than 6 months earlier) college graduate with a degree in Computer Science. Needless to say I was shocked! I saw all sorts of certs attached to this group.

I brought in the top 5 scorers (they took the original test during the application process, or were sent the test if they e-mailed their apps with a requirement to complete and return the test is 24 hours ... and these e-mail resume senders didn't bother to use the 24 given them TO LOOK UP THE ANSWERS...DUH!) who actually sent URL's for me to look at (I looked at the source to see if FrontPage or anything such as that had been used - if so they were eliminated) for 2 additional tests.

I gave each a 5 question verbal exam which included questions about standards, documentation, identification of code, basic database knowledge, etc. Each question was worth 20 points. Hell, I even gave a person 5 points for honestly answering "I don't know.". High score: 65 points.

The final test. I gave each a basic visual site layout on paper which included a small table, unordered list, basic headers, basic paragraph, etc.. (No dynamic elemnets or db connections) They were seated at a Windows computer with a copy of notepad and IE. They were given the address of the graphic to include. All they had to do was type, save, change to browser, reload, check their progress and move on. Each correct element (tag) was awarded 5 points for a total of 100 (20 correct elements). I had another 25 bonus points I would give if any used basic CSS. They had 1 hour to hand code as close as they could get to what had been laid out on paper.

High Score: 60, none used CSS, but I did see lots of font tags! Total High Score: 178 (The Guy with the BS in CS above) out of a possible 300 ... 59.3 % (Johnny can't read or write code either :^] )

I didn't hire him...I went to have a beer. Myself and a couple of other app devs were sitting ROFLOAO about the whole thing. I guess the beer increased our volume level, because a guy came up and said he heard what we were saying and that he was a web guy looking for a steady gig. I started interviewing him right there. No certs, no degree. Went to the office, looked at sites he had a hand in. He described not only basic HTML stuff, but CSS, ASP, JavaScript, PHP, a smattering of SQL (in which he clames to be weak), and a couple of other things. He took the 20 question multiple (remember, we had had a few ;^] ) and he got a 95. Missed the question about which tag is absolutely required in an HTML page. He hand coded the example while drinking a Bud Lite, completed it in 15 minutes, missed a couple of completion tags (like </li>) and used CSS.

Hired him. Took him back to the bar. Happy ever since.

Moral of story? Learn to write code and listen to loud guys in bars. It may pay someday.

This would be MUCH MUCH easier to do if this data were in a database instead of a flat file. But, to accomplish this you need to write some code using the various array functions in PHP, such as asort() and explode(), and structures such as for() and each() to eliminate the array rows that don't match your criteria.

"PHP and MySQL Web Development" by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson is a great book for learning PHP (it's what I used). There's not a whole chapter on file functions in PHP, but, there is enough info in there to do all the basic functions you would need to accomplish this task.

I am getting random Segmentation faults when I use the following script. This does not happen when I run scripts that do not include the xslt_process() So I am assuming it has something to do with Sablotron and xslt. Below is also the back trace with the problem. Can anyone suggest a solution or next step?

<?php $xml = "./file.xml"; $xsl = "./file.xsl"; ob_start();

$_parser = xslt_create();

if( !$result = xslt_process( $_parser, // resource xh $xml, // string xml $xsl // string xsl ) ) { printf( "Sablotron Error (%s): <br /><strong>%s</strong>", xslt_errno($_parser), xslt_error($_parser) ); } ob_end_clean(); xslt_free($_parser); echo $result; ?>

I generally prefer to include various blocks of code in templates using include_once() rather than load a functions library and make calls to those functions within the script.

Is there a big difference in efficiency and speed of includes vs. custom functions? I like includes because it's easier to drop blocks of code in a page design without disrupting the design of the page very much.

Thanks,

Monty

The only difference I can think of is that if you included everything at once, in function or whatever, then that's only 1 file open and read. if you're doing a bunch of includes all over the place, then your doing more file open and reads. Not sure if it really affects your script in the grand scheme of things. the actually processing of the code should outway most of it, anyhow...

I am not sure about efficiency, myself and I often ask this without much if anything at all for a response. However, I am the opposite of you, in that I prefer to create a library file containing all the functions. To make developing the page in something like Dreamweaver or Frontpage easier, I global all the variables of a given function, like say Function StockQuote($sym) { }. They I include the library file in my PHP webpage.Something like this...

various html ~blah ~blah <?PHP print $Stock_LastPrice; ?>

~blah ~blah </body> </html>

In the library file, I global the variables;

function StockQuote($sym) {

global $Stock_LastPrice, $Stock_Position; get the data... do something with the data... $Stock_LastPrice = This minus that blah blah; }

I can use this variable anywhere I would like and it is very WYSIWYG friendly.

I am not sure how efficient it is though as I mentioned above.

Chris, thanks for describing your method. The reason I really dislike Functions in PHP is because you have to pass every variable needed by a function, even if that variable is global in the main script, which is a pain in the ass when a function needs a long string of variables. It makes it easier to forget a variable in the list and can make the code look messy.

So, that's why I prefer includes, because the code is operating on the same level as the main script and can easily use variables set locally without making them global.

I'll use a function if it only needs one or two variables passed to it, but, I find myself using more Includes than Functions because of the variable passing necessary.

Can anybody help?

I have javascript code to find out browsers width and height, but they are stored in javascript variables. How can I access them from PHP? Or is there a method to do same in PHP straightly?

Thanks, Seppo

attached mail follows:

You have to submit the variables back to PHP by refreshing/requesting another page. Once javascript finds the values..PHP is done executing.

So have the values put into hidden elements of a form that's submitted, or tacked on to the end of a URL and redirected to another page...

You can blend the two... sort of.

function checkWidth() { var width = screen.width; var height = screen.height; document.location = "filename.php?width=" + width + "&height=" + height; }

//--> </script>

I'm not aware of any PHP vars that hold screen information.
