Exactly, it is a set amount. The 2nd time it is
tamed, 4.8 is always added to the minimum amount. The
3rd time it is tamed, 19.2 is always added to the
minimum amount. I'm only going up to the 3rd, because
anything past that is pretty much impractical.

Hello,

Okay,

Here's what I want to do.

Simply test my PHP stuff and practice with MySQL.

I don't want to learn to master Unix or anything at all like that but
these vague and arcane install instructions are leading me nowhere
except to frustrations.

So what is the absolute simplest and easiest path to open my .html pages

with some php mysql in em. and see them as they will work on the web???

Thank you,
-Marcus

To quote a friend of mine: "The only way to see how this will work is to see how this will work."

Get some server space with the software installed, and play with it.

There's free space available for this purpose at http://www.evolt.org and http://f2o.org/ and I'm sure others as well, but it's best if you can setup a little 'sandbox' to play in on the actual machine that you are using so that you are testing on the same versions, same config that you will be running on.

Just install apache (for windows), MySQL (for windows), and PHP... voila a local webserver, and the only way to view your pages, no need to upload since you can point your webserver to where you are developing your php.

Search on Google for PHPTriad or Firepages, or look on hotscripts.com or sourceforge. There are a couple packages out there that'll install Apache, PHP, and MySQL automatically for you on Windows. It's nice and painless.

Once it's installed, you run a little .bat program to start it all up, and then call up http://localhost/ to view your pages.

.bat is a Batch file. All it's going to do is go through and start up Apache and MySQL for you. Then you can call up your local pages in any browser you have installed. You can run a .bat file to stop Apache and MySQL when you are done, too.

It's all explained in the install instructions for the package you install.

If you follow the route that several folks suggest and go with one of the 'install everything' routes, be sure to install the same versions ... for example, some of them install older versions of PHP which may change some things (ala register_globals) so your scripts may work on your local development machine but not on the actual server.

Well, I've got to butt in on this one and put in a big DISAGREE. Use whatever is easiest for you, but MySQL provides a very rich assortment of date and time manipulation functions that are a lot better than PHPs (without any added classes).

For example, to get everything from your database that was inserted three days ago, you'd use:

SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE your_date_column = CURDATE() - INTERVAL 3 DAY;

Now, much of this is MySQL specific, though. I only use MySQL right now, so it's not an issue, but it can be for some of you.

Bottom line is use whatever is easiest for you, but realize that there are a ton of Date and Time functions built into MySQL. Anything you can do with a PHP function you can do with a MySQL function. You are also not completely lost if you're storing things as Unixtimstamps. You can convert from and to unixtimestamps and still make use of all of the MySQL functions...

Use a regular expression. Something like this should work.

eregi("<body>(.*)</body>",$html_text,$matches);

$matches[1] should contain the text you are after.

I would guess your value doesn't have double quotes around.

Because what might happen is this:

<input type=text value="New York \"City\" size=20

Also, take a look at stripslashes() to remove the \ before the ".

What am I missing?

If you look at your source code, you'll see that the entire string is there. It will look like this:

Value="New York\"City\""

HTML doesn't know that \ is used to escape the " character. It just sees the string "New York\" and treats the rest as an unknown attribute.

So, to do it correctly, you should use this:

Value="<?=htmlentities(stripslashes($your_text))?>"

Just note that REPLACE is MySQL specific. A solution using it may not be portable to other databases. May or may not matter to you...

Not unless they let you and give you a link to show the source or to download it. You can't get the source for just any PHP page b/c it's parsed on the server and only HTML is sent to you.

The following code was created to generate a random password. But it can be used to generate a random string for any purpose.

The basic idea was to create an array that would contain all the letters of the English alphabet, and pick out random values from that array. I have outlined two methods below, please also read the explanation/comments provided below.

Method 1: $strrandom=””;

$ivalfrom =ord("a"); $ivalto =ord("z");

for($i=$ivalfrom; $i<=$ivalto; $i++) $arralpha[] = chr($i);

mt_srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);

$rand_al = array_rand ($arralpha, 3); $strrandom = $arralpha[$rand_al[0]] . $arralpha[$rand_al[1]] . $arralpha[$rand_al[3]]; $numpart=mt_rand(10,99); $strrandom .= $numpart;

echo "random = $strrandom";

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

Method 2: $strrandom=””;

$ivalfrom =ord("a"); $ivalto =ord("z");

for($i=$ivalfrom; $i<=$ivalto; $i++) $arralpha[] = chr($i);

mt_srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);

$strrandom = $arralpha[mt_rand(0,25)].$arralpha[mt_rand(0,25)].$arralpha[mt_rand(0,25)]; $numpart=mt_rand(10,99); $strrandom .= $numpart;

echo "random = $strrandom"; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

Explanantion:

/* I used a “for” loop to populate the array with the alphabets in lowercase (to increase the number of values, you could probably insert uppercase alphabets too). */

//first populate array with alphabets $ivalfrom =ord("a"); $ivalto =ord("z");

//add the alphabets to the array for($i=$ivalfrom; $i<=$ivalto; $i++) $arralpha[] = chr($i);

/* $arralpha is an array variable which refers to the array of 26 alphabets. */

/* I seed the random generator */ mt_srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);

/* I wanted my string to contain 3 random letters. I use the array_rand() function, which takes as input an array, and the number of random values desired (which is 3 here, but it could be 26 too, equal to or less than the size of the array). It returns an array, which contains indexes taken at random from the array passed as the argument.*/

$rand_al = array_rand ($arralpha, 3); /* Here, $rand_al is another array variable which contains random indexes */

$strrandom=””; $strrandom = $arralpha[$rand_al[0]] . $arralpha[$rand_al[1]] . $arralpha[$rand_al[3]]; /* In the above statement, the values in the $rand_al are really subscripts of the alphabet array, so I use them as subscripts to finally arrive at the random string. You could iterate through the generated $rand_al using a loop to get the subscripts */

/* Please note that array_rand() will work for PHP4 and above, it may not return random values if you do not seed the generator first, and it may still create a problem on some windows machines (a bug, which has been fixed on PHP 4.2.2 –dev version). In such a case, use Method 2. */

/* The two lines below add a 2-digit number to the random string. */ $numpart=mt_rand(10,99); $strrandom .= $numpart;

Glory!

I just want my Adding Into Database script to check if the Name/Country already exists, and if it does, it shouldn't be allowed.

If some with Name : Jackson Country : USA exists in my DB, no one with same name/country should be able to add his name/country in the DB.

Can anyone hint?

Have your database handle that, not PHP.

When you create your table, make the combo of Name and Country unique.

CREATE TABLE your_table { Name VARCHAR(15), Country VARCHAR(15), UNIQUE Name_Country (Name, Country) }

Then you can have "Jackson, USA", "Jackson, UK", "Someone Else, USA", etc...just not the same combination at all.

You can do what he said or just put a separate loop inside the original loop.

Depending on how you get the info, you can use either way (his would create less overhead if you are just using the same <TD> info every row, otherwise they're really the same because his way you'll have to create an array to access later for multiple rows, or just do my way and have the loop access the NEXT *3* (or whatever) items ...).

i.e., for (LOOP FOR <TR>) { for (LOOP FOR <TD>) {} }

Last nite I've came across a problem I wasn't able to figure out by my self. It's not difficult to make a loop that will make new *TABLE ROWS* (<tr>) to show several DB objects in a nice way. what I need to do, is to display 2 or maybe even 3 of this objects stored in a DB per table row, separated in different *TABLE COLUMS* (<td>). how can I achieve this? What I usually do is:

------------------------------ // DB QUERY $query = "SELECT * FROM table_name"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

// NOW THE LOOP for ($i=0; $i<$num_rows; $i++) { $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>"; echo $row[whatever]; echo "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; } ------------------------------

but how can I get 2 or 3 columns displaying different db objects? A loop inside a loop?

127.0.0.1 == your machine.

127.0.0.1 == something called the local loopback.

In other words, pretty safe to let mysql access it.

I am on a server that has CURL & OpenSSL enabled. I assumed that this meant that I could do https: requests via CURL. But for some reason, my attempts to do this are not working.

If I do a CURL http: request, everything works fine (i.e., I get the web page, as expected). But if I use an https: request, no value is returned.

Do I need to do something else to make https: requests work in CURL?

Here's the code in question:

$ch = curl_init("https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $result = curl_exec($ch);

In this case, $result is the null string (if you try that URL in your browser, you will that some text is returned). If I replace the curl_init with

$ch = curl_init("http://www.cnet.com");

I get the expected string in $result.

Any thoughts?

Jonathan,

The exact same thing is happening to me right now, only that I'm working with the "Concord" people, not with authorize... it says SSL is enabled when I ask for the info.

The reason why you're not getting the values, is that cURL is telling PHP: curl: (1) libcurl was built with SSL disabled, https: not supported!

You can see this if you have shell access, and type on command line: curl "https://...".

I've tried all that I have found on the cURL mailing list history (make distclean, ./configure --with-ssl=SSLPATH, make install)..etc..etc.. but nothing works... Anyone has a solution?.

cURL needs to be compiled with SSL support.

./configure --with-ssl=SSLPATH where SSLPATH is the actual path to where openssl can be found.

./configure --with-ssl=/usr works for me.

Be very happy it works the way it does. Since it defaults to an easily-recognizable date and time, you can quickly tell when you've messed up your code.

If you don't provide a second argument to date() at all, then it'll default to the current date and time.

That's what happens when ISP's aren't careful about what happens on their network. Getting your IP's on the black list is probably one of the worst things you can let happen as an ISP. They warn you and give you time to rectify the situation (cancel accounts/access of offenders) before they actually add you to the list, which is impossible to get removed from.

Many sysadmins rely on the black list to keep their users from getting tons of spam. It's funny to see the current list of ISP's who ignored the warnings and got added. Another example of how clueless some of these big companies really are.

http://blackholes.us/

I am totally surprised to see rackspace on the list. I always thought they ran a pretty tight ship since they are probably one of the only large collo companies actually making profit.

That is a drag! You shouldn't give up on the list though. It's not like php.net has anything against rackspace users. They are just one of many who make use of the blacklist. Use another email account or get a hotmail account or something. The list needs you! :-)

I was wondering if there was any way to get MySQL to combine the specified SELECT columns into one column.

i.e.,

SELECT COMBINE(column_1, column_2) As column FROM column_list;

Would give me the results of column_1 and column_2 simply by going through "column".

Is there any thing that does this in MySQL, or do I have to do this in PHP? I've been searching mysql.com, but there search engine seems to be broken and gives me errors frequently. :(

Use CONCAT() where you have COMBINE().

Thanks for the reply, and I see that I didn't get specific enough (my fault! sorry).

Here's what I want to take from:

+-----+------+ | col_1| col_2 | +-----+------+ | 2.0 | 6.8 | +-----+------+ | 4.1 | 8.9 | +-----+------+

I want to do something like SELECT COMBINE(col_1, col_2) as col FROM column_list ORDER BY col;

Which would give me:

+---+ | col | +---+ | 2.0 | +---+ | 4.1 | +---+ | 6.8 | +---+ | 8.9 | +---+

CONCAT would only work if I want strings concatenated on the same row. Is there some way I can use JOIN to get what I want?

attached mail follows:

You have a bad database design if you need something like what you are describing. The columns should probably be in another table, with a second column, a number, saying which column the number is for.

So your second table would look like the result you want to have...

You may be able to do it with a temporary table, though:

INSERT INTO temp (col) SELECT col1 FROM your_table; INSERT INTO temp (col) SELECT col2 FROM your_table; SELECT col FROM temp ORDER BY col ASC;

Hello there,

I found this very good snippet of Dijkstra's Alogrithm here. http://www.phpbuilder.com/snippet/detail.php?type=snippet&id=714

Anyway, I have a rather big node network (50000 nodes) and this is getting a bit low. I noted that the script calculates the shortest distance to every node in the network. Would it be possible to modify it so that it calculates the shortest distance only from point A to point B that I define both in advance?

I couldn't figure out that script structure so that I could make the needes change by myself. Would somebody help me a bit with that?

Or does anyone know another code snippet which makes the same - calculates the shortest distance and route from node to node?

Thank you, Ville

<? $IDs = implode(",",$_GET['chk']);

$Result = MySQL_query("SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE ID IN ($IDs)"); ...

That's assuming your chk[] values in the database are an integer or float type. If they are string, then use:

From what I can see, the second parameter (that you are trying to use) wasn't introduced until v4.1.0 - that is, you can't use it with your version of php.

You may find that if you can't upgrade your php you'll need to do something with substr() and str_pos().
