    Now is the log name secondname.log or firstname.log. Use new property.

    what if I create $c1 as a global instance and then $c1 as a local instance
    (inside a function) ?
    won't c1.log overwrite c1.log ?

    Hehe why break your brain- give the class an id property - then you can
    have a getid method and do something like this

    $id = $this->getid();
    $this->fpLog = fopen("$id.log","w+");

    get_object_vars only seems to return properties so its not gonna help
    you.

    I'm currently working on an object thang as well and what ive done where
    I have whole bunch of similar objects is to chuck them into a name=value
    array as they get created so I can find them and fiddle with them again.
    I have no idea if that helps you, or if its even good coding practice
    (formal training - wots that?)

    hey im also a n00b so don't take my word on it - actual mileage may
    vary :-P

    Cheers

    Hi,

    this question is not about compressing HTML content, but SVG or VRML!

    i want to compress the entire output with gzip before sending it to the
    client. I found the function ob_start('ob_gzhandler') but this seems to
    compress only in special cases. (Actually I don't see if the content is
    compressed, how can I check this out?)

    But for my SVG or VRML content the plugins always support compressed
    files, even if the browser doesn't. Therefore I want to ensure sending
    compressed content.

    Then I found the "gzencode -- Create a gzip compressed string" function.
    I tried to use it like this:

    <?php
       ob_start();
    ?>
    SVG or VRML content
    <?php
       $sContent = ob_get_contents();
       ob_end_clean();
       echo gzencode($sContent);
    ?>

    But now I get this error:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gzencode() ...

    What do I need to do to use the Zlib Compression Functions?

    System:
    PHP Version 4.2.2
    Windows NT 5.0 build 2195
    Apache/1.3.24
    HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING: gzip, deflate

    What's your exact problem, Michael?

    I'm so new to PHP4 (done nothing at all with PHP for the last 3-4 years,
    now I need to), that I'm reading, practicing reading etc. I don't even
    have any questions, yet, I'm so green.

    But I *do* know that I have compiled in jpg and png support to PHP 4.2.3
    (phpinfo).

    On Red Hat 7.2 +++, './configure --with-gd' - and other things, of
    course.

    Tony,

    When I first began dabbling with PHP a year or more ago I did try to reconfigure PHP to gain support for PDF files. I was using SUSE 7.0 at the time.

    I was determined to get to grips with configuring packages such as PHP, Apache and MySQL but I seemed to run into one problem after another.

    I'm determined to have another go at this. With this in mind I've set one computer up with an older Linux distribution and intend to have a go at LFS over the next few weeks. Hopefully I will eventually overcome my fears of configuring software on a Linux system.

    Thanks for the help.

    Hi,

    when you want to access class member variables prefix them with $this-> , otherwise they will be treated as local vars.

    hope that helps.

    Hi there.

    Try doing it this way: You need to access the class's variable using the $this identifier e.g. > class MenueItem { > var $ID_Menue; > var $Name; > var $Parent_ID; > var $Next_ID; > var $Prev_ID; > > > function Write() { > echo "Parent_ID: " . $this->Parent_ID .

It does not include [ or ]

    Incorrect. I used to think that, but was corrected by a kindly member of the PHP development team.

    If you take a good look at the HTML 4.0 specification, the "name" attribute is defined as CDATA, which basically means it can contain any character.

    > and yet this seems > to be the only > way to get a set of form elements grouped into an array for > server side > processing. > > Why doesnt PHP do (Perl/ASP) automatically create an array > when there is > more than one form element with the same name in the post/get data?

    So that there will be no uncertainty over whether a particular named element will be an array or a scalar, thus avoiding the need to spatter is_array() tests (or (array) casts) all over the place.

    However, the HTML 4.0 spec also says of name that "This attribute has been included for backwards compatibility. Applications should use the id attribute to identify elements", and the id attribute *is* restricted as you mention -- so perhaps this is still an issue to be resolved in the future. (I haven't checked what the XHTML spec says!)

    Cheers!

    Hmm http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-name

    Seems to me, the rules for valid IDs & NAMEs are the same...

It does not include [ or ]

    Incorrect. I used to think that, but was corrected by a kindly member of the PHP development team.

    If you take a good look at the HTML 4.0 specification, the "name" attribute is defined as CDATA, which basically means it can contain any character.

    > and yet this seems > to be the only > way to get a set of form elements grouped into an array for > server side > processing. > > Why doesnt PHP do (Perl/ASP) automatically create an array > when there is > more than one form element with the same name in the post/get data?

    So that there will be no uncertainty over whether a particular named element will be an array or a scalar, thus avoiding the need to spatter is_array() tests (or (array) casts) all over the place.

    However, the HTML 4.0 spec also says of name that "This attribute has been included for backwards compatibility. Applications should use the id attribute to identify elements", and the id attribute *is* restricted as you mention -- so perhaps this is still an issue to be resolved in the future. (I haven't checked what the XHTML spec says!)

    Cheers!

    Mike

    But the value of the name attribute of a form element is not a NAME token.

    http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-name-FORM

    'name = cdata [CI] 'This attribute names the element so that it may be referred to from style sheets or scripts.'

    followed by the note I quoted previously.

    On the other hand, the value of the id attribute *is* a NAME token, so is restricted as per your quote above.

    Cheers!

    Hey, Jason, since you really need this BUG fixed, and the PHP developers would welcome good, well-documented, and tested code ...

    Why not devote some of your precious time to helping them along? If _you_ write, document, and test the code, and then pass the code to the development team you'll stand a much better chance of getting it included in a future version - along with solving your current problem _and_ getting your name in the list of contributors.

    It's a bug. spoke to Rasmus at some length about just before i posted it in the bug report.

    The online help page is inaccurate in describing the full functionality of the function: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php

    REGISTER_SHUTDOWN_FUNCTION() is suppose to kick-off when any one of the following things happen -- Exit, Error, TIMEOUT or User Abort.

    According to Rasmus, the TIMEOUT functionality of this function works fine under Linux -- however, it's not working under Win32 !

    There apparently is another bug with this function -- you are suppose to be able to call more than one REGISTER_SHUTDOWN_FUNCTION(), and they are suppose to executed in-order... some people are reporting that only the first encountered REGISTER_SHUTDOWN_FUNCTION() is executed, then the script exits.

    Someone needs to go through this function, pretty thoroughly, and get it working correctly. Being able to run code on a timeout, user-abort or error is critical.

    hi horst, i think your're problem is that you'll need to get the new libexpat.dll provided from james clark.

    visit http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/ to get the latest expat v1.95.5 (which includes the new libexpat.dll - the older version was called: "expat.dll", provided with expat v1.95.2)

    you probably have a newer php4ts.dll / php_xslt.dll (came up with new php 4.2.3) on your machine telling dependancy checker to call for libexpat.dll, so don't worry.

    good luck!

    additionaly, i didn't found an official installation procedure yet, because i think, the php.net core team supports php on linux with more power, than php on win32 systems. due to this, the documentation process for php on linux is always two steps ahead.

    I have an application that uses php's snmp support to gather some information. I run several servers that are using this application and all of the servers are running redhat-7.2. In redhat 7.2 the OS initially ships with ucd-snmp-4.2.1-7.i386.rpm. This works fine with my applications. I make every effort to keep these servers patched and up to date, and unfortunately redhat has released some ucd-snmp patches that bring the version up to ucd-snmp-4.2.5-7.72.0.i386.rpm. When I try to install that version of snmp, the snmp support breaks in php. The output is completely whacked, and I wish I could explain more, but generally output that used to poll correctly now shows 0 and certain items show the OID<space>value instead of just the value. So I'll have a column in the app that has (ucd-snmp 4.2.1 output) valuea 25 (ucd-snmp 4.2.5 output) valuea transmission.1.3.5.blah 2

    The output is all over the place. One thing that I do know has changed with this release of ucd-snmp is that it now comes with libwrap support. Any way that could affect it. I've tried recompiling php with the new includes.

    Of course there are some patches that are dependent upon this working, so if anyone has any insight on how to proceed I would appreciate it. Any suggestions on how to get the most up to date ucd-snmp patches. At this time my option is not to upgrade and it doesn't appear that there is a bug fix or anything else that is required in that newest release, however, the new redhat-7.3 boxes that I need to deploy in place of the redhat-7.2 boxes are going to probably have the same problem.

    Show some code. What's the actual value of the cookie before you stripslashes() it?

    I'll guess that you're not assigning the result to anything. Are you doing this?

    stripslashes($_COOKIE['value']);

    instead of

    $new_value = stripslashes($_COOKIE['value']);

    What is the best way to avoid the "repeated comment/post" syndrome caused by the user clicking the submit button one too many times because he/she did not wait for the browser to return a confirmation page or the script took too long to execute.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    > What is the best way to avoid the "repeated comment/post" > syndrome caused by the user clicking the submit button one > too many times

    The canonical way is to attach a token to the form (a random number will usually do) and insert that into the table along with the comment/post, after checking first to make sure that a row containing this token isn't already in the table.

    Cheers Jon

    Use some javascritp to blank out the submit button when its clicked. is a quick and easyway.

    Also try storing the sent data in sessions and compairing any new data sent to the previous data.

    Along with the other suggestions,

    You can use a processing page that doesn't output anything and just does the insert and then redirects to a "success" page. Then, if they hit refresh, then it will only refresh the "success" page, not the processing page.

    You can also restrict the user to only posting once every XX seconds.

    ---John Holmes...

    attached mail follows:


    The "page" that actually validates the user input and inserts into the database shouldn't actually be a page that gets sent to the browser -- it should be a script with no output, which then redirects to a thanks page.

    That way there is no chance of the user hitting refresh and double posting... of course they can still click back and submit again, but you remove the biggest problem, hitting refresh.

    form.php: user fills in and clicks submit validate.php validates form content if good, insert, and redirect with header("Location: thanks.php") else if bad, show the form again

    With a bit of work, this can all happen within one php file.

    Clicking submit twice, or click back and re-submitting is a little trickier, but you could always search the database's most recent 2-5 rows, to see if there is identical data (email address, username, heading, message text, etc) before inserting... if okay, cool, otherwise, spit out an error.

    Hello!

    The best way i think is not the 'redirecting to success page' solsution. It may be flooded with back button.

    It's easy solution to add a unique id to every generated form in a hidden field. Unique id may be generated with uniqid() function or with apaches UNIQUE_ID envireoment variable, if mod_unique_id compiled. Check $_SERVER['UNIQUE_ID']; Before storing data you can check the presence og that id somewhere (separate used-id storing table, or in an additional field in your target table). If check shows that ID was used, do nothing with data, if that check is negative, store the data. I prefer separate dup-store table, with an expire_date field. Expiration time may be from half our to a week. You can purge old ID-s from cron daily or more frequently. I have an oop class named dupkiller to handle that problem, if you interested.

    Assign a unique key to each submission form (as a hiiden field). Once the form is submitted, you can stop any replays by testing to see if the key was already used or not.

    Hello Rudolf, Thank you for responding to my post, I really appreciate it.

    I ran the script you sent me, and then I tried looking up the syntax to try to figure out what it means. As it would be pointless for me just to take suggestions that people send me and then not learn what they mean. The resulkt of your code does in fact alphabatize the teams in the select list, however there is a little problem with the end result.

    your code:

    <?php

    include ("C:\Program Files\EasyPHP\www\florentiaviola.com\control\config.php");

    $fd = fopen ($teams, "r"); while (!feof ($fd)) { $list = fgets($fd, 4096); $squads = explode("|", $list); $alphabetical[] = $squads[1]; }

    sort ($alphabetical); reset ($alphabetical);

    for ($i = 0; $i <= count($alphabetical) - 1; $i++) { echo '<OPTION VALUE="'. $alphabetical[$i][0].'">'.$alphabetical[$i].'</OPTION>'."\n"; } fclose ($fd);

    ?>

    returns the follwoing html: <OPTION VALUE="A">Aglianese</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="B">Brescello</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="C">Casteldisangro</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="C">Castelnuovo</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="F">Fano</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="F">Florentia Viola</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="F">Forlì</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="G">Grosseto</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="G">Gualdo</OPTION>

    It is returning the first letter of $squads[1]. so the "id variable is getting lost.That variable is $squads[0]. So in effect that vairable is getting "lost" because when i modify the line

    echo '<OPTION VALUE="'. $alphabetical[$i][0].'">'.$alphabetical[$i].'</OPTION>'."\n";

    to read

    echo '<OPTION VALUE="'. $squads[0].'">'.$alphabetical[$i].'</OPTION>'."\n";

    then the HTML output becomes

    <OPTION VALUE="19">Aglianese</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="19">Brescello</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="19">Casteldisangro</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="19">Castelnuovo</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="19">Fano</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="19">Florentia Viola</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="19">Forlì</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="19">Grosseto</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="19">Gualdo</OPTION>

    In other words what I am trying to do is something to the effect of $alphabetical = $squads[1][0]. Then I want to sort that only by $squads[1]. When the html is returned, I want to be able to echo the $squads[0] as the Value of the select dropdown.

    Thanks again, -Tree

    We installed php 4.2.2 with freetype 1.3.1 on our solaris 2.8 machine. We are using function imagettftext to convert UTF8 string to image file for Internet display. However, it seems that this function does not handle the combining characters properly. For instance, the sequence of unicode characters U+0061(a) and U+0308 (combining diacritics) is display as two characters: a and a square indicating not displayable. The correct result should be a character identical to U+00E4.

    We are wondering where the normalization is handled in this case, freetype library or inside imagettftext php function? Is it a bug in freetype library? If not, how can we fix it?

    It's curious that it should be working some times and not others. This may be overkill but you might try a double redundent redirect where if the Header() function does not do the job then the script falls down into a Javascript which attempts the same thing.

Maybe cuz I put some fixes on there and some addons.

    Can PHP retrieve custom headers? If, for example, someone sends me an email with the custom header "Internet-card:", can I get it's value via PHP? The imap_header, AFAIK, gets only prespecified headers (fromaddress, Subject, date, etc.).

    How about:

    The $b will have your fixed array.

    This all begs the question, though, of why you need to do this. Are you trying to get rid of slashes or single/double quotes by any chance???

    Is there a "clean" way to make use of PHP builtins that use callbacks and point those call backs to a method inside the class/object:

    A good example would be:

    ...

    class XMLClass {

    var $parser;

    function XMLClass() { $this->parser = xml_parser_create(); xml_parser_set_option($this->parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, TRUE); xml_set_element_handler($this->parser, "$this->start", "$this->end"); xml_set_character_data_handler($this->parser, "$this->data"); }

    function goodbye() { // a manual destructor xml_parser_free($this->parser); // other things possibly too }

    function start($p2, $name, $attr) { // do things here }

    function data($p2, $data) { // do some more here }

    function end($p2, $name) { // do even more things here }

    [... and so on ...]

    ...

    But since there is no way to set a callback to "$this->[function_name]" one must create a global function that uses a global object and passes things to the method inside the class..

    Is the a way to address this? or perhaps a better way to deal with callback function names?

    Hi

    One of my pages opens ~100 files, reads from them, and closes them, (only one file open at a time).

    The problem is that the page just dies mid-way through execution - no errors, no segfault, it just dies and returns a blank page to the user. the problem goes away if I reduce the number of files accessed.

    its a build of PHP 4.1.2 on Linux running as an Apache module, (if it makes any odds, the configure line is below).

    I can't see anything on bugs.php.net about this - has anyone seen this before (and, of course, the crucial question; what can I do to fix it?)

    Any help appreciated,

    Thanks
