1) you use whats called an "Itterative Server Model". That is to say you
create an list of all the sockets you are using and pass them to
"socket_select" (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-select.php)
and it will tell you which ones are ready to be read from, which can be
written to and which have exceptions.

2) I am not too sure what you mean here but using the select you can find
out which socket have info in their buffers and then read it so there will
be no blocking on I/O

if I do this:

if(validate($_POST['password'], $_POST['username']) != 0) echo validate($_POST['password'], $_POST['username']);

will it execute the function twice or use the same result twice?

would it be (slightly) faster to do this:

$uid = validate($_POST['password'], $_POST['username']) if($uid != 0) echo $uid);

attached mail follows:

hello everybody,

I have a real problem, and a vague description to it (can you guess?: newbie).

I've created a site which retrieves a word from a database and displays it. The user enters another word (a translation) which is checked against the solution and feedback is given. These words are passed around in sessionvariables. Systematically after a while, I get a very slow loading of the page (and therefor the word i got from the database). In the end, i get my data, but it's slow and always with the same interval. I have a feeling this might be related to some garbage retrieval, or cache problem with the browser, but I can't figure it out. Does anybody has some suggestions? I'd really appreciate it!

cheers, Simon

Firstly, many thanks to Richard and Dan...

>>A quick test script in PHP would have been faster than asking... :-)<<

It was just one of those questions that I had burning in my mind at the time, and since I don't have access to PHP at work (As if the Government would allow that!), I had to ask :o)

And to Dan: I would love to change the line margins of my email client, but unfortunately Novell Groupwise sucks, and the government will not, without exception, allow customization of any software, whatsoever. So I'm stuck with it.

Thanks again guys!

PHP has an underlying binary translator, but I don't think that the source code is available from Zend. Are you looking for a way to compile PHP scripts? If so, is the reason so that others will not have access to your code? If that is the Case you could always look at the Zend Encoder. If not....ignore me, it's Friday! :^]

The Zend Encoder is available at http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-encoder.php . The language for the PHP interpreter is C, AFAIK. You may want to check http://www.sourceforge.net to see if the source is available, but I don't think that it is. Seems it was some time ago though.

Hi all how are yas?

I have one question for which I could not find the answer:

How do I remove an element of an array with a specific key or index?

To be clearer:

Lets say I have an array $shoppingCart[] (quite a lot of them) I want to delete $shoppingCart[345] (which is not the last or the first) How do I do it?

I have checked the PHP manual... it has array_pop, array_shift which are for the last element and the first element. But what about specific elements in between the first and the last?

Please help out... I'm really in a rush to finish my project... :(

Thanks soooo much in advance for your time.

Yours, Wee Keat Chin

I am new to PHP, and I have got to download huge quantity of data from an oracle server. The ODBC cnnection works fine, and I found a useful "odbc_fetch_array()" function on this site.

Until now I store the data row after row into a temporrary file, and with it i fill MySQL tables.

The construction of the file takes nearly 50 minutes each , I have 10-12 tables to search in, and joins to make to integrate data in a final table.... ( !!! )

Is there a quicker method to get data in an odbc result resource??

thx !

Sylvain,

This isn't really an ODBC question, but more of an application architecture one, I believe :)

The reason you are spending so much "time" is that you have to bring your data across the wire to your temp table, and then back into MySQL, if I understand you correctly.

I suggest you read the MySQL docs on "Temp Tables" - this is a table that you create briefly in your script, and then use MySQL's limited subquery syntax to perform an insert per these docs: http://www.mysql.com/doc/I/N/INSERT_SELECT.html Be aware that temp tables created by PHP do not persist in MySQL beyond the execution of a single script - e.g. within a single database session.

An even quicker way is to use a database that supports VIEWS, and then simply create a View that represents your required data.

If you want a full-featured database to work with in PHP and ODBC, check out http://www.openlinksw.com/virtuoso It not only supports all of the SQL:92 and most SQL:1999 features, but can execute and serve PHP from inside of the database without using Apache.

Let me know if you have any questions about Virtuoso or ODBC in PHP.

Cheers, Andrew

How do I turn of Back Slashes on a String in the ini file...

I have my Script set as a mailing form however everytime an Apostrophe is filled in a back slash is sent to the next page hence

St. John's on the next page appears as St. John\'s... and if it is sent again it picks up another and eventually if the person had to fill the fields in a couple of time by the time it gets to the mailbox it the word looks very unappealing...

Please help...

Look for magic_quotes_gpc and turn it off

attached mail follows:

Try setting magic_quotes_gpc (and/or magic_quotes_runtime) = Off

BTW, if magic_quotes_gpc is now turned off, you may need to use addslashes() in your code, especially before you put user input into a database or a sql statement, unless you're validating the data some other way.

IN the next 5 weeks I will be trekking on the Alps and the Pyrenees, with NO computers, NO clocks, NO electric light and of course NO email.

So, instead of setting up an autoresponder that will drive you all nuts I will just temporary unsubscribe from the list :)

Have a great time you all, and thanks for the help given along the way :)

See ya in september

I THINK I have installed pdflib and compiled it into PHP 4.2.1 OK. At least, configure/make/make install all went OK and it is trying to work.

I copied the sample 'Hello World in PDF' script out of Programming PHP (p 234) into a file named pdftest.pdf

When I try to access http://localhost/pdftest.pdf, Konqueror tries to open a PDF file but then spits the dummy saying:

"Could not open file blahblah.pdf which has type application/x-zerosize. KGhostview can only open Postscript and Portable Document Format files"

So it looks like a header problem or something?

This raises a few other questions:

- Should the PHP script be called pdftest.php or pdftest.pdf?

- Does httpd.conf need an AddType directive for pdf files? I've tried a few variations on "AddType application/x-pdf .pdf" etc

- Should .pdf be added to the php AddType directive? eg. "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .pdf

Basically, I'm confused. Anyone been there done that?

TIA

I think you want the name to be 'pdftest.php'. Try it and see what you get.

That's because your 'pdf' file is in actual fact a raw php file.

No.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am making progress after discovering a typo in my code (single quotes in a header() string containing a $var ... double quotes fixed it).

Now I get a pdf document but no text :-(

If I save the doc to disk and try to open it with xpdf, it complains that the "xref table" is broken and that it can't find a "trailer dictionary".

This is sort of off topic, but can anyone tell me why my Pine email client displays "To: Somebody Or Other" rather than my name "Michael Hall" whenever I send an email to this list?

I have attempted to fix this many times but cannot for the life of me figure out why it is happening.

I must be missing something very basic here..

I login to my site successfully.. session values are created so I can track/authenticate the user throughout the site:

session_start();

(logic)

$VALID_USER = '1'; session_register("OL_VALID_USER");

(redirect to other page)

Then on the other page, the access is checked:

otherpage.php:

session_start();

require("functions.php");

check_access();

functions.php:

function check_access() { global $VALID_USER; if (session_is_registered("VALID_USER")) { return true; } else { Header("Location: login.php"); exit(); } }

Now, like I said, I login succesfully, the other page says I'm logged in succesfully. But it seems to randomly lose track of my session as I navigate the site. Even if -right- after I login, I manually type the URL in the address bar to go to otherpage.php, where I was just authenticated, the check fails and I am told to login again. I don't understand.. if I refresh the page, the check works, but if I type the address in the location bar of my browser to go there, it fails it. What is going on?

Thanks, Chad

I think I narrowed down the problem, but I have another question:

In apache, my server name is online-leagues.com, www.online-leagues.com is aliased to it.

I isolated the code in a different script:

http://www.online-leagues.com/leagues/loginme.php

returns valid

if on the subsequent page I take out the www., it returns invalid.. how do I make my session valid entirely across the site? I can't pass anything to session_start(), and I can't see any other function where I would set this..

I'm not sure if this is even the problem anyway, as when I was testing before, www. was in front of all my URLs.. I would login to my site (http://www.online-leagues.com/my), get authenticated, refresh the page.. I'm all good. I type that same URL in the browser.. poof.

Since I'm not specifitying a filename (letting apache grab index.php since I'm just specifiying a directory), would that cause a problem with the www. stuff? Sorry if that is confusing/if I'm doing a poor job explaining..

I've got a fairly standard user dbase table which contains a password field. On the server all passwords have been encrypted with the CRYPT_STD_DES algorithm before being inserted into the dbase. However, Passwords are presently submitted from the login form in plain text.

I want to make the system more robust by encrypting passwords on the client side using the javascript MD5 class.

Is there any way I can make this compatible with the existing passwords which are encrypted with the DES 2 salt algorithm without writing some sort of change password stuff? Does anyone know of a Javascript implementation of the CRYPT_STD_DES algorithm.

Let me finish my thought....

The other two methods of connecting to authorizenet allow you to let the client browser do the work by secure posting to their servers directly which means you don't have to initiate the connection from your server--no curl. It's much simpler to code and build a site around, but you don't have as much control over the process.

AHHHHHRGGG this is getting me on my nerves!!!##!!

I am using a mySQL-databasetable called controllpoints_tbl with the following structure:

+----+------------+-----------+-----+------+-----+-------------------------- ---------------------------+ | nr | process_nr | type | abb | name | x | description | +----+------------+-----------+-----+------+-----+-------------------------- ---------------------------+ | 1 | 1 | Milestone | MS | MS1 | 200 | bla bla bla | | 2 | 1 | Milestone | MS | MS2 | 500 | bla bla bla | | 3 | 1 | Tollgate | TG | TG1 | 100 | bla bla bla | | 4 | 1 | Milestone | MS | MS4 | 600 | bla bla bla | +----+------------+-----------+-----+------+-----+-------------------------- ---------------------------+

I want to view just the "name" and "x" variable with this code...

for ($i=1;$i<=$antal_typer;$i++) { $typvar = $type[$i]; // this is an array with types $here = 150+17*$i;

echo "Hello";

$result = mysql_query("select name,x FROM controllpoints_tbl where process_nr=$process_nr and type=$typvar order by x"); while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result)) // this is line 138... { // here's a lot of code.. } }

but it never enters the while loop.. and only print Hello one time although $antal_typer = 2; a warning message says: Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\devproc\beta\view.php on line 138

attached mail follows:

Just for grins try this...

$query="SELECT name,x FROM controllpoints_tbl WHERE (process_nr=$process_nr) AND (type=$typvar) ORDER BY x"; $result=mysql_query($query) or echo "Query failed!<br>$query";

Then run it and see what happens. My guess is that your query is failing and that is the real cause of your problem. If the query fails, $result is not valid and the while loop will surely fail.

attached mail follows:

Martin, I'm assuming that you are calling a mysql_connect somewhere in your code ahead of what you've posted. The error message you're getting indicates that the query is not returning a result set. That could be because you need quotes around the values in your where statement:

mysql_query("SELECT name, x FROM controllpoints_tbl WHERE ". "process_nr='$process_nr' AND type='$typevar' ORDER BY x");

Assuming a valid connection handle, that should work.

Hi,

Im currently having a problem when I have multiple forms on the same page (I assume that this is the problem).

im currently doing something like this: <? if(!$include) { if(!$submit) { ?>

//html

<? } if($submit) {

do some code

} } if(($include) && ($include == "send")) { if(!$submit_send) { ?>

//html goes here

<? } if($submit_send) { code goes here } }

Okay now this is what happens, the first form works fine even if there is an include. The second one ($submit_send) does not, it just reloads the page without actually doing any code.. it seems to stop right before the if($submit_send). I was wondering if it could be because I had multiple forms in the script (but im only accessing one at the time).

Im really stuck at the moment, to me, it should work, but its not. I don't get any errors, it just seems to skip right over the code section for $submit_send .

Thanks for any help.

Aren't sessions assigned according to namespace? And anythingelse.mydomain.com is not a subdomain of www.mydomain.com, they exist as parallel domains. anythingelse.www.mydomain.com is a sub domain of www.mydomain.com which is a subdomain of mydomain.com which is a subdomain of com. You could, instead of using a cookie, use hidden form fields to move the info from one domain to another that is parallel to it, but that would hose any security you had unless you used the encrypted hash versions of each in your hidden form fields to make them less readable.

I don't know if I am correct on this, but it seems to me that sessions are assigned to namespaces, and therfore would not work as you wished.

It's still there, yes, but when I go to my.mydomain.com from www.mydomain.com, the session_start() at the top of the script starts a new session rather than picking up on the old www.mydomain.com session. I don't know how to tell it to look at the old session and continue that one.

No, the whole problem is that you're depending on cookies to persist the session ID for you. Which is normally fine, except that cookies have their own rules about which domains they will send data to. Specifically, a cookie set in

virtualhost1.mydomain.com

will not be available to

virtualhost2.mydomain.com

unless you have ensured that the "domain" attribute of the cookie is set to the common

.mydomain.com

so that any virtualhost/subdomain has access to the cookie. This level of cookie handling is normally abstracted away from the programmer, but it is changeable. You can change cookie values with JavaScript, and with PHP's setcookie() function. Read the man page for more info.

(I do not know if the domain set by session_start() is the broader ".mydomain.com" or the narrower "virtualhostx.mydomain.com", but you could investigate this.)

Try naming your session and using session_name() to force the session_start() call to look first for an original session. Read up on session_start() for more info.

attached mail follows:

Ok.. let me try to explain a bit further.

My domain is online-leagues.com www.online-leagues.com is aliased to it.

If I refer to a script without the filename (http://www.online-leagues.com/my), Apache apparently interprets that as (http://online-leagues.com/my/look-for-the-index-file). If I use http://www.online-leagues.com/my/index.php, my session obviously will work as intended.

Now, I could just rewrite all the URLs, but in the near future I want to be able to have http://my.online-leagues.com and http://calendar.online-leagues.com working and use data in those sessions.

I'm not sure what cookies have to do with this, aside from passing along the session id. I wrote up some test login scripts:

http://www.online-leagues.com/leagues/testdir/loginme.php :

<? session_start();

$I_AM_A_NEW_VALID_USER = '1'; session_register("I_AM_A_NEW_VALID_USER");

echo "<a href=\"http://online-leagues.com/leagues/testdir/index.php?"; echo $PHPSESSID; echo "\">link</a>"; ?>

Have to do one reload first to get the $PHPSESSID variable to append (I don't know why), but on the next page, the check fails:

<? session_start();

function check_me() { global $I_AM_A_NEW_VALID_USER; if (session_is_registered("I_AM_A_NEW_VALID_USER")) { echo "valid"; } else { echo "invalid"; exit(); } }

echo $SID; echo '<br>'; echo $I_AM_A_NEW_VALID_USER;

check_me();

I apologize if I am missing something basic here / am not understanding.. I just don't know what I have to do to get my session to work across that entire domain.. I thought worst case, passing along the SID would work, but that doesn't seem to be working either.

This depends on your Apache configuration, and is pretty normal. Usually it will look for index.html first, then index.php, then index.shtml, or whatever order is specified in your httpd.conf file. You may be able to override this with a .htaccess file too.

That's exactly what cookies have to do with this. By relying on the cookie to pass the session id, you can only maintain the session by making this cookie available to the server. Since a cookie is only readable by the domain which sets the cookie, you need to adjust the value of the "domain" attribute of the cookie so that it is readable by other subdomains. The easiest way to do that is to set the cookie's domain attribute to ".domain.com" which means "any subdomain of domain.com". Refer to this spec, it will help you understand:

http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html

Note I just found a quick article, which I haven't read, which may help you:

What is the URL of this link? Look at it closely, it is missing something: <a href="http://online- leagues.com/leagues/testdir/index.php?XXXXXXX">link</a>

You've specificed a GET variable name but no value. Try doing that again, but put the name "SID=" immediately before the $PHPSESSID value.

No big deal it just looks like you forgot to name the GET variable. Read up on that cookie stuff, it'll help you in the long run if you're serious about doing a lot of session work.

Erik

attached mail follows:

Right.. I understand that other virtual domains can't read the cookie. The problem is I can't control what domain session_start() sets the cookie in.. it appears to set it on the exact domain I am at.

I noticed if I do this:

http://online-leagues.com/leagues/testdir/loginme.php (no www)

the next page (without www) works ok. returns valid.

If I then add a www in front of that link, it ALSO returns valid.

so perhaps session_start(), since I am starting at online-leagues.com (not www.online-leagues.com) sets a cookie that is valid for all of *.online-leagues.com? This appears to be the case, as I just tried sticking mail.online-leagues.com in that 2nd script (the one with the check), and it returns valid also.

So.. I guess the solution is to set the cookie at online-leagues.com, not www.online-leagues.com, and this will make it readable by all of *.online-leagues.com.

Hopefully, this helps someone else out there somewhere. :) Thanks to everyone for helping me figure this out (at least, I hope this is figured out!)

I don't have access to a PHP-enabled server at the moment, so I can't test this. But if you really want to know how this works, try executing the following code somewhere in your script after session_start():

$sessionCookieData = array(); $sessionCookieData = session_get_cookie_params();

foreach ($sessionCookieData as $paramName => $paramValue) { echo "<p>The cookie's " . $paramName . " value is " . $paramValue . "</p>\n"; }

Please report your findings to the list, it will be interesting to see which subdomain session_start() sets in the cookie as its "domain" value. I'm guessing it's whatever the current subdomain is and NOT the generic ".domain.com" value as I originally thought.

Erik

attached mail follows:

If you created a session on "www", how would you know what session to load on the non-www side?

to get sessions working across multiple domains, you must either muck about with the cookie's domain name or actually pass the SID in the query.

Since you know the name of the file you're looking for, why not just use file_exists()? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php

// Build the filename from the form submission $filename = "whatever.pdf"; $path = "path/to/files/relative/to/runtime/dir"; if(file_exists("$path/$filename")) { return(1); } else { return(0); }

That should be faster than trying to read directory contents.

For example, computer, scanner, printer, book, etc. Then be directed to a page for that specific type of item to be added. I want the item selected entered into the database, and then on the next page have the fields that information needs to be entered into displayed. When the first page enters the type of item I want to add to the database, it will create the ID number for that item. This is what I want to get, so that I can have the next page display properly. How do I enter something, and then pull out the ID of the row that the item was entered into?

Thanks, Mike

Depends on the database - if you're using mysql, you would use mysql_insert_id() (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php) immediately after the insert operation, then pass that value to the next page to do the query on that record. Other databases have other methods, some have none. This is, of course, assuming that I understood your question - this works for auto-incremented id values rather than ones you generate yourself. If you are generating your own id, you'd just pass it along to the next page when you redirect.

If you have permission to write to the file, use fopen($filename, "w") - that will zero the file out. If you can't write to the file, you're out of luck.

First, do you know how many fields will be in the array?

Second, are you going from an HTML form to PHP or PHP to a script?

The reason I'm asking is I just did something similar to this. I had to pull a half-dozen variables out of an LMS system with CMI calls and then pass them to a PHP page. What I did was load a blank page, pull the variables I needed out of the system, then javascript post them to the PHP page. It gives a bit of a delay for the user, but it works.

(javascript.htm) <html> <head><title></title></head> <body>

</body> </html>

I can't take full credit for this. i asked a fellow perl programmer and he muttered the words, "why bother searching for newlines and spaces". so, now searching for any layout of the word will work.

$answer = "hello\na\np\np\nl\ne\n"; /*from textarea in form*/ /* replace all whitespace and newlines with nothing */ $tempanswer = preg_replace("/\s*|\n*/","",$answer); $word = "apple"; /* match on the new condensed answer */ preg_match("/".$word."/i",$tempanswer,$match)

and this works for "red apple" as well.

I run an introductory course on PHP and I have just made the course material available for download for $25.

There are a lot of introductory guides to PHP around, but many of them assume that you already are a programmer, know the C programming language, understand how to use a database and/or are adept in HTML. If you don't already know all this stuff then it can be a bit hard to get started.

The course I run does not assume any of these things. It explains the basic concepts of programming (variables, loops, if-tests etc), plus enough about databases and HTML to get started with PHP. The course concentrates on building dynamic web pages from information in a database and the notes include numerous working examples.

If you have access to a web server running PHP and you are happy to learn on your own, you can download the notes and examples from http://merrowinternet.com/downloads?source=ml.

I also offer the course with tutorial support by email, plus online access to working equipment. If you think you need that, then go to this page: http://merrowinternet.com/courses/php.intro.html?source=ml.

My web site also contains some free material, including a beginner's guide to UNIX and Linux and Computer-Based Training software that teaches the basics of Linux. You will find these at http://merrowinternet.com/downloads?source=ml.

I am a beginner at using PHP, and am developing a product "template" utilizing a MySQL database. Basically, what I am attempted to do, in the code below is:

Code sample: ================================================ printf(($result["REL_PLAN1"]), mysql_result($result,0,"REL_PLAN1")); ================================================

Questions: 1. In the first part, print out the value of the REL_PLAN1 database field for display purposes. The value in this field will be in the format http://www.yahoo.com.

2. In the second part, make the value in the mysql_result($result,0,"REL_PLAN1") field display on the page as a clickable hyperlink.

Basically, I want the value displayed in part 1 to change depending on what value is actually in the REL_PLAN1 db field (in part 2). Hope this makes sense.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you sure you want to use the printf() function? Try using print() instead.

Also, unless PAYPAL_BUTTON is a constant, you probably want to quote that associative array element ($result['PAYPAL_BUTTON']).

Erik

and also make sure to strip out all slashes that the DB/PHP might weasel into your mysql text.

or you could also skip "print" altogether and do this: <?= $result['PAYPAL_BUTTON'] ?>

Usually when I get such problems, I start doubting I don't do something wrong with the index. So, how did you make the variabele $result? Did you call mysql_fetch_array()? or any other function go get a result row from a result identifyer? Are you using the same $result var for other data (and thus know for sure that it contains indeed data) ?

I'd advice you to do a

print_r($result);

and see if your paypall_button is in the result row. It may as well be some case sensitivity problem ...

let us know if you're problems are solved ..

Ow, btw .. if this doesn't get you anywhere, did you open the generated html source and checked if the HTML code isn't printed (or echoed, whatever you call it) to the output, or not read s it should be by iexplore, netscape, mozilla or one if their nieces ..

Hi Jas,

I may be missing something here, but it looks as though you just need to return() your $msg var and assign it in your main script. So, something like:

function arin($ipaddy) { $server = "whois.arin.net"; . . . return $msg; }

<?php

$whois = arin($ipaddy);

$sql = "INSERT INTO www_access (whois) ('".addslashes($whois)."')"; mysql_query($sql);

And you also need to change 'message()' to something like '$msg' to capture that text also.

or, what you could do is turn on output buffering and grab everything that is output ;-)

Hi, I was trying to upload files in php and came across some problems. I am using Apache on Linux. My first file was:

-html- -form action="t1.php" method="post"- -input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000"- Send this file: -input name="ttt" type="file"- -input type="submit" value="send"- -/form-

-/html-

If I use enctype in the <form> attribute, no form variables are made available in t1.php. t1.php is as follows:

<? echo $MAX_FILE_SIZE;

echo "<br>"; $filename = $HTTP_POST_FILES['ttt']['tmp_name']; echo $filename; $realname = $HTTP_POST_FILES['ttt']['name']; print "realname is $realname"; ?>

$filename or $realname are not display. I set register_globals to on and my variables_order string is also set to EGPCS. I'm sure I am making a very basic/stupid mistake here, but could somebody help me out, please? Thank you.

You need to add the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute to your form tag to be able to upload files.

Also, depending on your install of PHP, you may have file uploads disabled. If all else fails, check you php.ini and look for these lines:

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads. file_uploads = Off

Make sure that gets set to "On". E.g. RH 7.3's PHP RPM install seems to have this set to Off by default.

attached mail follows:

Function CountIt($action, $counter) { $sql = "SELECT ".$counter." FROM counters WHERE id='1'"; $res = mysql_query($sql); $num = mysql_result($res, 0, $counter);

if($action == "more") $num++; if($action == "less") $num--;

$sql = "UPDATE counters SET ".$counter."='".$num."' WHERE id='1'"; $res = mysql_query($sql); }

That is my script.... I call it CountIt('more','hits');

but everytime i call it, the dam thing always adds 2 counts

Can anyone identify an error

please

attached mail follows:

for starters, add some debugging stuff like print "i'm here"

maybe the function is being called from somewhere else by "accident".... or maybe something more magical is happening. but anyway, debugging output might help.

also, for future reference, you can do this kind of thing much easier using one single SQL call:

UPDATE counters SET {$counter}={$counter}+1 WHERE id='1'

Why do you first use the select? Since you don't return anything, you may as well want to do:

---
function countIt($action, $counter) {
	if ($action == "more") { $sign = "+"; };
	if ($action == "less") { $sign = "-"; };
	mysql_query("UPDATE counters SET $counter = $counter $sign 1");
};
----
this saves you a database query .. and well, it may also work around your
problem. I think it shud .. Though I can't see where the error's hidden in
your version ...

Shit... Nice trick.. works great... I really didn't know you could do that with mysql but i always say.... "you learn everyday"

Another thing i didn't mention is that this dam counter increases on every single page.... even when i'v only called it on the index.php page.

If i KNOW this query will only return one "piece" of data, what, php'ly speaking, must i do to assign it to the var $id?

SELECT id FROM ma_users WHERE user='$PHP_AUTH_USER'

attached mail follows:

You have 2 ways post and get.

Post using forms .

Get using the url.

Look at php.net for post and get.

You could do something like:

However, I have found it to be beneficial to check assumptions like "the query will only return one piece of data". You might also want to include a couple of lines of code to make sure of that:

$num = mysql_num_rows($results); if($num != 1) { // do some error handling }

You can do like this

$result = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM ma_users WHERE user='$PHP_AUTH_USER'"); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); $id = $row['id'];

attached mail follows:

In PHP 4.2.1 (stock php.ini) under Linux (RedHat 6.1) using Apache 1.3.26 the following code:

$source = 'TEXT';

$replace = '<tag attribute=\"1\"><tag attribute=\"blah\">'; $template = '<attribute="TEXT">'; $expandedStr = str_replace( $source, $replace, $template );

print( "<h1>Result is: '$expandedStr'</h1>" );

Yields the incorrect result:

<h1>Result is: '<attribute="<tag attribute="1><tag attribute="blah">">'</h1>

Note the missing ".

However, if the <> are removed from $template then the result becomes:

<h1>Result is: 'attribute="<tag attribute=\"1\"><tag attribute=\"blah\">"'</h1>

which in this context is correct.

I've filed a bug report but wanted to ask if anyone else has seen this?

I'd guess it's in one of two areas. First, you're using a relative path to the include file and the relative path information isn't correct for the location of the include (most often this will be a problem with directory levels). Second, you're on a *nix host and you've mixed up your case - ie. Your include statement is all lower case and a directory or file on the filesystem has mixed case.

Check for these first and see how you go.
