You can, instead, have it email to the address-of-record a new password,

Check out http://www.dacode.org -- it's how it handles forgotten passwords.

Hey php-general,

i want to buy hosting. but i can't find good one for me. maybe someone could point some links. but this is what i need!

Storage up to 100MB normal transfer limit(best would be without) CGI/Perl/PHP/ASP/SSI/SSL MySQL database (can be only 1) some pop3 mailboxes free domain transfer (maybe free domain if i pay for 1 year ahead) FTP access SSH access Shell capability up to 3 background processes

if anyone know combination like that i would appreaciate your help! thanks

Aside from shell, ssh & background processes, i can recommend experthost.com

How do you expect to get ASP (assuming you mean microsoft's Active Server Pages) on a Unix box?

Sure, PHP could be on a Windows box, but I think your chances of finding a solid host that supports ASP AND PHP on the one server is about zero.

you can use ChilliSoft, http://www.chillisoft.com, by Sun Microsystems that is a ASP plugin that works with Apache as well as other browsers such as IBM's Websphere, and many others as well

Hey all. I have an app that I need to integrate with an online payment service. I read an article here http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/Administration/CREDIT/page4.html that uses authorize.net as the example and suggests that you don't need an account to test your app with their service. Does anyone know if this is true? The article is over a year old so the info might be outdated. I tried modifying the code from the example to work for me, but I kept getting error messages back from authorize.net's servers. Stuff like "Cannot process this request." .. I tried emailing their tech support but haven't heard back from them. Does anyone know of any payment services that I can use for free just for testing my app with it? Can you suggest any php libraries out there that will make life easier?

But I suppose it is not what you had in mind. ;-)

You can do anything in PHP as long as your actions are on the server. Javascript runs on the client and PHP is not in control than. So if you need to open a new window you will need PHP to produce HTML code that does just that. That HTML can include Javascripts.

I tried a program using array_unique.It shows different outputs in PHP4.06 and PHP4.22

Program :

<?php $employee[0]='snp'; $employee[1]='snp'; $employee[2]='snp'; $yee=array_unique($employee); while(list($i,$c)=each($yee)) { echo "Index ".$i." Content".$c; } ?>

Output :

PHP4.06 Index 0 Content snp PHP4.22 Index 2 Content snp

Why the index is differed in two version? Whether the function array_unique is handled in a different way in PHP4.22. Any help is appreciated.

Advance thanks and regards, SenthilVelavan.P

I write a few days ago to the list with a problem trying to find my ODBC DSN under linux debian. Well, i solve the problem, now i can find my dsn from PHP code, but its seems like it crash when i do a odbc_connect(...)

I know that unixodbc works becouse i test it with isql.

I have no warnings trying to find DSN, but now nothing happens. I suppose that it finds dsn but there is another error somewhere. But there is no logs, there is no output in the browser... i dont know what to do, i have no information to try to resolve the error.

somebody can help me?

this is the reply from the browser; The following error was encountered: Zero Sized Reply Squid did not receive any data for this request.

I use the following php code to build a dynamic table retrieving values from a MySQL databases that have been inserted with slashes added -

echo "<td width='100'><input name='descr' type='text' size='45' maxlength='20' readonly value='".StripSlashes(mysql_result($badgedetails, $i, 'descr'))."' tabindex='1'/></td>";

The problem is, if the value to be displayed is for example O'Neill, then the output will look something like -

Quite correctly, when this page is rendered, all that will be displayed is O as the apostrophe after the O will be treated as a closing parenthesis. I understand AddSlashes and StripSlashes but how can I utilise them to resolve this issue.

HTML doesn't understand that a slash means to escape a character. What you need to do is use htmlentities() or htmlspecialchars() on the data before you place it between your quotes.

echo "<td width='100'><input name='descr' type='text' size='45' maxlength='20' readonly value='".htmlentities(mysql_result($badgedetails, $i, 'descr'))."' tabindex='1'/></td>";

Note: You should not have to be doing stripslashes() on data coming from your database unless magic_quotes_runtime is ON. If your data is coming out with slashes in it, or you can SEE the slashes in the actual data in the database, then you are calling addslashes() twice on your data somehow.

I also kind of question why you have mysql_result in there. It's faster to use the mysql_fetch_* functions...

---John Holmes...

attached mail follows:

John,

Thank you for your reply. My magic_quotes_runtime is set to 'Off'. As you said, I shouldn't have to use StripSlashes but would I still need to use AddSlashes when inserting/updating? I can see the slashes in the database when I look at the tables but I am fairly sure that I do not add slashes twice? Are they being added automatically somewhere as a result of a setting in the php.ini file? With regards to my use of mysql_result as opposed to mysql_fetch_* functions, I was ignorant of the performance hit and I will now re think around my database code.

attached mail follows:

If magic_quotes_gpc is ON, then the data is getting addslashes() automatically on a form submission. If you are doing it again, that's where the problem is.

attached mail follows:

I would suggest you rather do the following ( over and above the htmlentities as already suggested )

In stead of doing echo " <html with single='quotes'>"; to rather echo '<html with double="quotes">';

The reason is; there is a difference between echo 'stuff' ; and echo "stuff"; The first (single quotes) is treated as literal content, ie, PHP justs echo's, does no parsing, while the double-quotes means PHP will look at the content between the quotes and parse any variables etc. So, if you are not echoing anything that needs to be parsed, use single quotes.

eg. <?php $var = 'testing'; echo '$var<br>'; echo "$var<br>"; ?> produses:

$var testing

It just saves on overhead, and in your case, you would not have run into this problem...

Why? Because $PHP_SELF is an undefined variable. There is nothing assigned to it and you're trying to use it in a function.

But, you say, $PHP_SELF is supposed to be the current page. Yes, normally it would with register_globals ON, but you are inside of a function, so it is a whole new variable now.

So, like someone else suggested, make it global inside your function

Global $PHP_SELF;

Or, if you're on a new version, just use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and you don’t have to worry about global.

It's me again, i don't mean to be a bugger, but i really like to learn as much as possible, that's why i ask (or will ask so many questions).

Consider the following (i shortened this a lot, but it will do the trick)

$op = $_GET['op']; switch ( $op ) { case "admin": DoLogin(); break;

default: ShowHomepage(); break; }

PHP shoots a Notice Message telling me that there is an undefined index Undefined index: act in g:\apache_web\intern\looney\index.php on line 177

This accects the code shown above.

Ok, am i correct in assuming that it pops this message because $op is not defined as anything yet?

If so,should i always just do this

$_POST['op'] = ''; $op = $_GET['op']; switch ( $op ) { //Code here }

Or would it be better and more space efficient to do this $op = isset($_GET['op']); switch ( $op ) { //Code here } Cause if i do that the Notice Message dissapears for some reason i yet fail to grab. I would really appreciate if somebody could explain to me why the Notice dissapears when using isset(), and also what is the best method to use rather then the two shown above? How do you guys&girls handle this?

Thanks a lot in advance for your time and patience!

You get this error message whenever $_GET doesn't contain anything.

This doesn't work since the result of isset($_GET['op']) is either true or false, not a string value. You need to write it like this:

if (isset($_GET['op']) { $op = $_GET['op'];

switch ($op) { //Code here } }

What I tend to do when I have an optional item of data is:

if (isset($_GET["op"])) [ $op = $_GET["op"]; } else { $op = "no value"; // set to something you can test for in your switch statement. } though there may be a better way.

We need more information that this. What's the error message? what do you mean fails? In anycase, you should be able to run lib1.php first without error, before trying file1.php. If the former causes error, resolve that first.

now i'm in ./user/ directory i run file1.php it includes ../libs/lib1.php which in turn will include helper.php (./users/helper.php) <-- will fail!

Tried to post this to the news group before, but I'm having trouble getting to my news server from work - hopefully I'm not posting a duplicate.

I think I'm seeing the problem I'm seeing because I'm getting a copy of a var instead of a reference to it, but I'm not sure the best we to get around this problem.

In my little sample script, I've got an array of objects. When I use foreach to loop through the array and make a change to an item, it doesn't change the object in the array, just the var that I have while I'm in the foreach loop.

What's the right way to loop through this array if I really want to change homer's name to marge in this example? The way it is now, I see my echo saying that I'm changing the name, but when I do the second var_dump, it's the same as the first var_dump.

Thanks in advance, Jesse

Hey Mark,

Thanks. I understand. I'm actually a Cold Fusion programmer.

I've tried what you suggested but can't seem to get it work - code attached. However, I can display the radio button if I use the $_POST function.

I'm not sure if it's the version of php I'm using. Stats - windows 2000 Sp1, Apache 2.039, php 4.2.2.

Thanks for taking the time!!

Shew,

http://www.whirledweb.com/phptest/InsertPicks3.php

It looks like the issue here is Capitalization. PHP is very capitalization sensative. (which I believe that Cold Fusion is less picky about) And your code looks great, save a couple little issues that may have made it even more confusing. :-)

1. the concatenation character in PHP is the "." not "+", so line 45 or so was having issues (it was literally adding "Game" to the contents of the variable... so it gave odd output results.) This also messed up your concatenation at about line 54.

2. (this is pretty arbitrary) The HTML input tag doesn't need a closing tag. I do think however, you can make it XML compliant by writing it this way: <input type="text" name="name" value="value" /> The closing slash shows that there is no closing tag needed. (not sure why one would need to make it XML compliant...) I'm not an expert in this specific little area, so somebody with a bigger brain on this list might clear that up.

3. Then, there are several capitalization inconsistencies. The variable name in your form is "game1" but then you were checking for "Game1"... except in your $_POST function, where you went back to all lower case. I cleaned that up, and it seems to work great now.

I hope some of this helps! -Mark

I have wrote this function:

function issne($var) { return isset($var) && !empty($var) ? true : false; }

which can be called as: if (issne(&$mightbeundefinedvariable)) echo "using this variable";

is there is any builtin function that does that? (one function call).

Yes. Just use empty(). It automatically checks if the variable is: not set null an empty string zero

If any of them are true, the empty() function returns true. You don't need your function at all.

But if this is true what you say, that empty() checks for not set null an empty string zero

Why would i ever want to use isset() then?

If i understood you correctly, would the following

op = isset($_GET['op']) && !empty($_GET['op']) ? $_GET['op'] : '';

be the same as

op = !empty($_GET['op']) ? $_GET['op'] : '';

Turn off the short tag option in the PHP ini file, and always use '<?php' as your php start tag. When short tags are enabled, PHP sees the '<?' in '<?xml', and assumes it is a start tag.

Thank you all for the feedback! I was trying to say the problem lie with the "?", not with the quote or double quote. Because PHP use "<?" also, so when php read this "<?xml", it think the "<?" is intended for PHP. So, using the escape character does the trick, "\" but now I get the invalid format as a response from the other side that read in the XML codes I send.

[snip] I need to subtract months by their abbreviated month name, so shouldn't this work?

print(date("M", mktime(date("M")-$i));

and if I loop;

Aug Jul Jun May ........ [/snip]

Apparently not. But you can subtract by total hours in a given period, so for an average I chose 30 days * 24 hours (720);

$i = 36; $h = 720; while($i > 0){ print(date("M", mktime(date("M")-$h)));print(date("Y"));print("<br>"); $i--; $h = $h + 720; }

which results in

So now all I have to do is sove the year rollover, which I think I can do the same way. It'd be so much easier if mktime worked as the documentation said, but after many iterations of different things this is what I was able to come up with.
