first, you are uploading the file to this page correct?

perhaps a bit of code showing your file handling?

FYI/

depending on version you can use $_FILES for short

if register globals is on you can refer to the files as the form field name for
your file upload
        $upfile[$i]
        $upfile_name[$i]
        $upfile_type[$i]
        $upfile_size[$i]

you may wish to reconsider globals defaulting to on though, (see security
section on file uploads) also check to see that the file was indeed uploaded...
features.file-upload

attached mail follows:

Thanks all,

This is the correct script :

Function verify($file) {
GLOBAL $HTTP_POST_FILES ;
echo $HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['type'] ;

echo $HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['name'] ;

echo $HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['size'] ;

...

}

I forgot to put the GLOBAL in the front of the function. Now, my script work
well.

Are the \ there to escape anything, like ' or " or are they just in
there by themselves..as a delimiter or something. If the \ is by itself,
then stripslashes() won't do anything to it. Maybe you should just try

$newtext = str_replace("\","",$old_text);

Without seeing a sample of your file and some more information, all I
can give is "snooty" answers, evidently.

First up, extract your date as part of your query in a standard format -
if you're looking to do date manipulations you're probably going to be
benefit from extracting it as a unix timestamp.

Once you've got your date information, along with whatever else you're
extracting, you can then process it in php.

You'll most likely have some sort of while() loop to increment through
your query data.

While you're incrementing through you can do an test the date
information against "today" and "yesterday". Have a read of the php
manual for date() and mktime() as you'll almost certainly need to use
these two functions.

Basically what you'll need to do is test to see if the date information
from your database query is the same as your date information based on
working out what "today" or "yesterday" are when expressed in the same
format as the date information from your database.

The rest is pretty much display stuff - substitute date information for
appropriate words as required.

Hope that heads you in the right direction.

CYA, Dave

I posted this response earlier...did you get it? Are you looking for a
MySQL solution or a PHP solution??

SELECT IF(TO_DAYS(CURDATE()) =
TO_DAYS(date_column),'Today',IF(TO_DAYS(CURDATE())-1 =
TO_DAYS(date_column),'Yesterday',date_column)) FROM your_table;

If you want a PHP solution, then just select the regular MySQL date
format YYYYMMDD and use something like this when looping through your
results.

switch($your_row['Date_Column'])
{
  case date("Ymd"):
    echo "Today";
    break;
  case date("Ymd",strtotime("-1 day")):
    echo "Yesterday";
    break;
  default:
    echo $your_row['Date_Column'];
}

Untested code, of course...

You'll have to make sure that your headers include a reply-to email address.
Also set up with your server administrator that the outgoing emails from
your site have a correct sender. The mail function's return value only
tells you that it made it to the outgoing mail server. That the server
actually sends it is completely unverified. You could try setting up an
IMAP function that logs onto the mail server and collects the returned mails
for you, automatically deleting them from your database, but I wouldn't have
that run for at least 24 hours after the mail is sent, to make certain to
catch the returns.

In almost every case, mail() will return true, regardless of how bogus the
destination email address is.

mail() just dumps it into the mail queue. There's a lot that goes on
between there and delivery, and mail() doesn't wait around.

You'll need to catch bounces as they come in. To make life easier, assign
your own unique Message-IDs and remember them, so you can easily
invalidate addresses.

That's what I figured/feared :)

Erm, I'm on a shared server, so I don't *think* it's that easy unfortunately
-- I can't get a message to bounce to the From: or Reply-To: headers I set.
My guess is it goes to an address set in php.ini, or somewhere else, and is
global to the entire server (doesn't help me).

Unless I can set it was .htaccess or ini_set().

I don't think you want DAYOFMONTH. Otherwise if today is July 24th, then
a date column with June 24th, or any 24th, will come up as Today.

Something like this will work, though...

SELECT IF(TO_DAYS(CURDATE()) =
TO_DAYS(date_column),'Today',IF(TO_DAYS(CURDATE())-1 =
TO_DAYS(date_column),'Yesterday',date_column)) FROM your_table;

Hope that helps...

Please search the archives on this topic; it's been covered exhaustively,
and each time it comes up we get 25 bad functions and eventually one good
one. The above function will bark at valid domains (.museum, etc.) and
will allow patently invalid domains (anything containing _).

attached mail follows:

Hey all,

I'm having a strange problem with objects that I'm hoping someone out there can
help me track down. I'll give a run down of the setup here, please note that
register_globals is off.

A page creates two objects.

$document - this is always a new object and uses the ob_ functions to control
the output. ob_start is called with a customer callback that writes the output
to a file based on $_SERVER variables.

$session - this is an object that gets serialized whenever a request finishes
and unserialized when the request begins.

Each object uses register_shutdown_function(array($this, "desconstructor")) to
set a hook to clean up after itself which works without problems.

The following is then set.
$document->session =& $session;
$session->document =& $document;

Everything works fine through out the page all properties of the session can be
accessed and set via $session->whatever or $document->session->whatever and vice
versa for the $document object.

The problem arises when the $document->deconstructor function is called. As
described above the ob_ callback fires and properly writes the captured output
to a file then calls ob_end_clean() to dump the buffer and returns nothing, then
right after the deconstructor function is called which does the following:
include("a header file.php");
include("the temp file from ob_");
include("a footer file.php");
unlink("the temp file from ob_");

Now this works beautifully, except that some of the object properties get
destoryed. For instance since the includes are called from
$document->deconstructor it makes sense that $this should reference the document
object and that $this->session should reference the session object, but the
following happens. In the file I have this:

$this is a <?=get_class($this)?><br>
$tihs->session is a <?get_class($this->session)?><br>

Which returns:

$this is a rj_document
$this->session is a

Now I thought that it might be because the session object is destroyed before
the document object fires its deconstructor call so when the objects are
associated I changed the document line to be:
$document->session = $session
But I get the same results.

Anyone have any insight?

Thanks,
Evan

attached mail follows:

Never mind, I just found and exceptable work around.
$GLOBALS["session"] & $GLOBALS["document"] contain the objects.

(and after all that typing :)

Could someone please enlighten me on a good way to grab the value for
a given mail header once I've fetched the entire headers to a string
using php:s imap_fetchheader() function?

For an example I would like to look for a header called List-Id which
may look like this:

List-Id: <php-general.lists.php.net>

And grab the value - <php-general.lists.php.net> - into a variable to
use later on in my script.

Bonus points if you could tell me a way to parse the entire headers
into something useful like a set of key, value pairs using the header
name as key and the value as value.

You can preg_match(). Or you can probably use explode() with ': ' as the
separator.

Once you've got one header working use a loop.

$lines = split("\r?\n",$headerstring);

foreach($lines as $line) { if(preg_match("/^([^:]+):\s*(.*)$/",$line,$matches)) { $headers[$matches[1]] = $matches[2]; } }

I think IMAP headers are split on newlines only, but I don't know if some Windoze servers (such as Exchange) put CRLF in there or not. The regex above should work, assuming that everything before the first colon is the header name and everything after it is the value. I haven't read the RFC in detail so there may be a better pattern to match against than the one above. That is assuming that the above pattern works, I haven't tested it. HTH.

Dear all, this sounds like a silly problem but i really dunno how to fix it!

In the php manual on php.net said we can use an embedded newline just by writing the string on different line by pressing "enter" key. This doesn't work for me. Another thing is \n also work. For example:

<?php echo ' You can also have embedded newlines in strings, like this way.'; echo 'I am trying to include at this point: \n a newline'; ?>

the output i get is: "You can also have embedded newlines in strings, like this way.I am trying to include at this point: \n a newline"

Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks!

Stuff like \n are only interpreted if they are enclosed in double-quotes:

"This works\n" 'This does not work\n'

A new line is NOT a <br> or <br /> in HTML.

Assuming this output is for HTML (browser) purposes, the browser will ignore newlines.

<?php echo 'this is first line<br>second line<br>third line'; // works for HTML ?> Will print...

this is first line second line third line

... to the browser.

If you have a $string with \n's in it, you can convert these to <br />'s with the function nl2br():

<? // with newlines typed in, will work in email and text files: $string = 'this is first line\nsecond line\nthird line';

// convert \n's to <br>'s for HTML output $string_html = nl2br($string);

// newlines done with hitting return will work in email and txt files $string = 'this is first line second line third line';

// convert \n's to <br>'s for HTML output $string_html = nl2br($string);

Think about it -- this HTML...

<P> something something something </P>

... will output somethingsomethingsomething to the browser, because browsers ignore newlines, tabs, and other whitespace in text. On the other hand, this HTML...

<P> something<br> something<br> something </P>

... would achieve three separate lines, so you need to do the same thing when echoing.

This can be done with preg_replace() and a function. Here are some variations on such an expression / function combo.

<?php

$Val = 'begin <div> middle <div id="idattr"> end';

function alter($var) { return "_$var" . '_'; }

# To grab all attributes... $Out = preg_replace('/((<div)([^>]*))/i', '\\2' . alter("\\3"), $Val); # \\1 contains whole match # \\2 contains tag type # \\3 contains attributes

echo htmlspecialchars($Out);

echo '<hr />';

# To grab just the id attribute... $Out = preg_replace('/((<div) ?(id=(?:"|\')([^\'"]*)(?:"|\'))*)/i', '\\2' . alter("\\4"), $Val); # \\2 contains tag type # \\3 contains whole id attribute statement # \\4 contains the attribute value

echo htmlspecialchars($Out);

Of course, be a good hacker and modify it to suit your actual needs. :)

Easier:

$tempanswer = preg_replace('/\s/', '', $answer);

The \s includes all white space, including line breaks. You don't need the *'s in there because all of them get replaced anyway.

Do note, proper syntax uses complete URI's, not just the page name. Also, you can do this with single quotes.

header('Location: http://www.foo.org/computer.php');

Well, as mentioned by others, not every email, just the one being sent at that time. But, more importantly, folks can put in other people's addresses into the Bcc and spam them all using your resources. This has already been exploited on some web to mail forms.

My email form functions check user input for unwanted characters, including \r and \n via ereg. If any are found, they're removed and the form is redisplayed saying they can't use such characters.

If you installed php from redhat CD, then why not apache. The Apache rpm in redhat 7.3 comes as precompiled support for Dynamic shared object so there is no need for doing anything except install your Apache and Php from rpms as it is.

Then keep your php files in /var/www/html/ or whatever you configured for <DocumentRoot> Directive in Apache.

If you don't have apache you can download it from redhat site. ----------------------------------------------------------- S.Murali Krishnan Internet: ismklinuxfreemail.com -----------------------------------------------------------

Furrfu - don't tar all *nix with the same brush :-) Presumably, for some reason, that file hasn't been created? Have a look in the libs directory under your tarball extraction directory; but perhaps the few lines out of make output prior to the error might be useful?

*sigh*

How about testing it on two pages?

Or better still, LOOK IN THE MANUAL!!!!

php.net/session_name CLEARLY states:

" The session name references the session id in cookies and URLs. It should contain only alphanumeric characters; it should be short and descriptive (i.e. for users with enabled cookie warnings). The session name is reset to the default value stored in session.name at request startup time. Thus, you need to call session_name() for every request (and before session_start() or session_register() are called). "

They're attentive and responsive and about as knowledgeable as you could hope for (definitely not your typical tech support script readers), but the product is so hopelessly complex that it's still easy to stump them.

It's possible they put each of their customer in a chroot jail, in which case - barring gross mistakes on the part of the customer - keeping the password in a .php file in the docroot is quite secure.

So what you want to do is print a field from the first row extracted from the table, then loop through all the rows and print several fields? I think you want mysql_data_seek.

Whenever you do a mysql_fetch_row, php grabs the current row from the result set, and shifts a pointer to the next record in the result set. In this case it seems you need to print from the first record, then reset the pointer to the first record and print from all records found. So:

$row = mysql_fetch_row ($result)) print ("$row[4]");

mysql_data_seek($result, 0); // Add this

while ($row = mysql_fetch_row ($result))

Unless I misunderstand what you are trying to do....

Hello,

1. you must have a frame system with two frames: frame1 called fileslist, fametwo called: preview when you build the files list do like this: <? while (list(, $filename) = each($filesarray)) { echo "<li><a href="javascript:display('$filename')">$filename</a>"; } ?>

then declare a javascript function as: <script> function display(filename) { window.frames['preview'].location = filename; } </script>

should work.

I'm trying to do some parsing of mail headers and since not all headers follow the pattern:

But may very well look like this:

X-Header-A: A string X-Header-B: Another string that is longer X-Header-C: And this string is very very long compared

(Note that two of the header lines above wrap more than one line.)

In order to read the headers into an array of header key/value fields i would like a reg exp to remove all new lines/line feeds before a line starting with one or more white spaces or tabs.

I've tried myself but I'm just nog good with reg exps.

Hello,

Can I get the starting position of my string occurence when using any regexps searching functions in PHP ?

for example: $mem='this is a test'; preg_match('/test/', ...) should return me somehow: 10

Thanks

No.

If search string does not involve a regex then just use the plain string search functions.

l> Thanks

why regexps? what about simple string fuctions in PHP?

for your example they will be more usefull:

strrpos - http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strrpos.php

sample:

$text = "string"; echo strrpos($text, "r"); // must show 2 as result

Does it have to be a regular expression you are searching for? If not, you can use strpos().

strpos might be useful

Yes, I'm aware of the strpos() or any other non-regexp string functions...

but it is either I use regexp to match a certain pattern or I'll have to write a char-by-char parser to emulate regexp searching and yet get the position of the occurence!

Thank you all anyway.

How about this:

$mem='this is a test';

if(preg_match("/(.*)test/",$mem,$matches)) { echo strlen($matches[1]); }

Of course, if "test" occurs more than once then the above won't work, since regex's are "greedy"...

If you add a ? after the * then that'll make it non-greedy won't it?

Actually, I've just written one of them, and they're not that hard, as long as the sub-set of what you want to do is limited.

Depends on what system you are running, let us know and we can better answer the question.
