AllowOverride is set to All in apache, and when I put this in a
.htaccess file, it changes the value:

php_value upload_max_filesize "7500000"

</IfModule>

however, when I put "php_value browscap "/home/user/php/browscap.ini" in
there, it doesn't change the setting.

Is browscap not changeable from .htaccess, or am I doing something
wrong? Thanks for the help!

What amount of chars is reasonable and should I allow for each of the
following fields in a database:

company name: 30 chars
address/street: 30 chars
city: 30 chars

???? Thanks.

attached mail follows:

I'm no expert on MySQL field types, but I'd be going for a varchar field of
50-ish (maybe more???)... the reason is that (from what I understand)
varchar fields only take up as much room as the content, plus one or two
bytes, so making them 50 vs 30 will offer no advantage, but may become a
disadvantage down the track.

It'd be worth checking the MySQL manual though.

I need to count how many times the word AVAILABLE appears in a string
like this
$string ="AVAILABLE More Info AVAILABLE More Info";
some time the string looks like this

or
$string ="AVAILABLE More Info UNAVAILABLE More Info";
when I use
$srch="AVAILABLE";
$count=substr_count(strtolower($string), strtolower($srch));
echo $count;
it puts the count a 2 even when one of the words is UNAVAILABLE
how can I make it only count AVAILABLE and not UNAVAILABLE or visa

if this is your SPECIFIC problem, putting a space at the beginning of $srch will help, eliminating XAVAILABLE... but this will cause a problem with the word AVAILABLE appearing at the start of the string, so temporarily put a space at the start of the string:

this won't help if there are newlines and other white space instead of spaces, and won't help (so far) for a different set of circumstances...

it would be nice to extend substr_count() could be extended to have an option.

Hello Justin,

That worked perfect but I have one more problem I need to know if one of the word is UNAVAILABLE I need to know if it is the first one or the second one. I don't know if there is any way to do this. 1st 2nd $string ="UNAVAILABLE AVAILABLE More Info"; 1st 2nd $string ="AVAILABLE More Info UNAVAILABLE "; Friday, September 27, 2002, 11:22:42 PM, you wrote:

If you want to make the script compatible both with register globals=off and work with old AND new PHP versions, use $HTTP_POST_VARS and $HTTP_GET_VARS. Manual says they are deprecated, but there is no reason to presume they are removed from PHP any time soon. And if that day comes it's a few minutes task to search and replace all sources to convert them to $_GET and $_POST.

For commonly used $PHP_SELF I use this:

if (isset($_SERVER)) $PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $scriptname = basename($PHP_SELF);

This way users don't have to select from two source versions, one > PHP 4.1.0 and one < 4.1.0.

hi guys..

i've really seached alot for Soalris8/intel PHP binaries with no result.. i've tried also to do the compiling but every tme thier is a lots of errors.. so my only solution now is to find any pre-made binaries for Solaris8/i386 platforme

my question is : does it exist ?

thanx alot

Hi Erwin,

and anyone else too.

It's me again. Maybe you are able to solve another problem for me.

The last Scriptcode I returned to you is working fine in IE6 and below (I believe), but a friend of mine tried to download a tared file with IE on MacOS. After checking this behaviour (I'm not really able to do a real check, because I'm not really able to understand what really happens with theese mime-types), I thought about to check it in Netscape too, and later Mozilla in Mac and Win, but it worked nowhere else than in IE 6 until now. In Netscape the download starts and a 10 KB file is safed to disk called download.php. In Mozilla the download starts and a file named picture_name.tar.php is safed. Size 10KB. The main picture Size is still 406 KB, packed as a Tar File it's 410 KB.

Thats the problem I need a solvation for.

I read something about theese headers on php.net. There was an workaround for the circumstace that the download would not start in IE but not in the other direction.

So please, if you know some more, please share it with me.

There are only two days left, to finish my project. So I'm really in trouble. After this projekt I will step up and start learning Linux and Apache configuration to the fullest.

So later I maybe will be an helpfull guy too.

Sascha

PS.: Just for remembrance, the old working samplecode:

<? Header('Content-Type: application/x-tar'); Header("Content-disposition: filename=".$_REQUEST['name'].".tar"); $dir = explode("/", $_REQUEST['image']); chdir('../images/'.$dir['0']."/".$dir['1']."/".$dir['2']."/"); $command = 'tar -cf - '.$_REQUEST['name'].'.jpg'; passthru($command); // Insert the download into order_db for statistic use include('global.inc.php'); $Query = "INSERT INTO order_db (id, user_id, image_id, date, time) "; $Query .= "VALUES ('','".$_REQUEST['customer_id']."','".$_REQUEST['image_id']."','".date('Y-m-d')."','".date('H:i:s')."')"; mysql_query($Query, $connect); ?>

Must be a register globals problem again - php.ini (register_globals) - on for linux off for windows.

You should keep it switched off (or at least code for it being off) and use the superglobal arrays $_POST, $_GET etc

GREAT Q!

I have been trying to play with my cookies for a while now for this same reason..

And to no avail..

It seems due to the structure of them and as long as the client (browser) sticks to the specifications you can only access a cookie belonging to that same host..

For example, I am starting up a large "network" site base but I wanted all the sites even though they have their own unique domain to be able to have a global member login system.. Catch is.. The only way for them to be able to login to one site and then be able to freely go to another completely diff. site also on our network they would still be logged in and hence they have this main ONE account that allows them access to all our network sites..

So I studied the workings behind Terra Lycos and found their trick quite easily.. Since they have basically this same concept they too had to find a solution..

And their's is very close to mine :) I had thought.. since it's HOST specific. Not the full domain.. that means that cookies only differentiate between: aaa.com and bbb.com..

But not: one.aaa.com or two.aaa.com

Therefore to create ONE cookie you set it's host for aaa.com and that way all your other site domains can be redirectors to the subdomain..

Ie.. if you have aaa.com as your main site and bbb.com and ccc.com just make those other two point to: bbb.aaa.com and ccc.aaa.com respectively..

Don't think it's "unpro" because that's exactly what Terra Lycos does..

For eg.. Checkout www.webmonkey.com (I'm sure many of you already know it) you soon see you'll be transported to: www.hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey

This is because not only is webmonkey part of Terra lycos.. It's also under HotWired..

Then I thought.. No way.. that can't be their trick surely??

Yep.. Checkout all their other sites..

More examples: www.angelfire.com goes to angelfire.lycos.com and tripod.com goes to tripod.lycos.com

it seems this is the idea.. that way.. if they login.. just set some details (perhaps the SESSID so you can easily jsut reload the session on the other sites) on for example lycos.com as the domain and then all the subdomains can also use this freely..

Use your domains as redirectors and you get a sweet system.. :)

or you just have something like

and all your sites use that to authenticate the user. In your php login script you can just see which site they came back from and then on a successful login you just redirect them back to that one. You wouldn't need to use cookies. You could make your own session ID. I thik owning say subdomain.mydomain.com and having it point to www.asite.com/mydomain/subdomain doesn't look as good. The PHP needed to do something like this would be fairly simple too.

Hello,

...just wondering...

Are you sure VARCHAR in MS SQL can handle 5000? Should be 255 only? (I'm not really familiar with MS SQL but you can count the number of characters returned by php...)

Thanks for some help. I will look into that. This is not my database so I am not sure how or why it was setup this way. There is more than 255 characters in each of these fields.

On thing you could do is output <pre>tags around the text you want to display. The <pre><> tags keeps simple formatting like tabs and new line characters. "Shane" <shanedelaplaine.com> wrote in message news:CD44D03584C7A249A3F86891B24EB8EA41A93Aexch003intermedia.net... Greetings folks.

I need my carriage returns to show up in my HTML output from my text form field.

There is a JavaScript function that will convert carriage return to tags, but is there a PHP function that will add or tags to a text form field in place of the carriage returns a user might add.

Thanks in advance! -NorthBayShane

Can you fake IP addresses and referer addresses with the PHP header command. I want to contact a remote php script and not have my page as the referer or ip address. Is this possible with sockets or even just fopen()?

Hi all..

Got this script to verify a login against a mysql-databas with several checking for type errors etc.

When I wanna login people, I include a file with all my functions ('functions.php') and I a function verify is called upon.

the function returns false if user entered wrong user/pass, And if they enter correct info I want them to be redirected to another page.. hm. the headers cant be added (u heard that before?) cuz my login form already started output...

function verify($user,$pass){ // some sql queries here...

if(count($number)>0){ return false; }else{ header("Location:admin.php"); }

}

I would like som help using headers in a correct way, or be able to use another way...

It's giving you this error because you are sending the headers after outputting something (which could be just a blank line) - check in your functions.php that you dont have any blank lines before the start of or after the end of your script. ie. before the <?php or after the ?>

Hi All, Can someone explain to me why I am getting an error for the following?

$keywords = $_POST[keywords]; if ($keywords) { echo"<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT=" $keywords ">"; }

TIA Gary

That line is syntactically invalid. Did you meant it to say

echo "<META NAME=$keywords CONTENT= $keywords >";

The quotes within the quotes. Change to: echo"<META NAME=\"keywords\" CONTENT=\" $keywords \">";

The quotes within the quotes -- you need to escape them. Otherwise, the second double quote terminates the quoted string, yet there's some more junk on the line. By escaping them, you tellphp you mean the literal ", and don't want to terminate the string . So change to: echo"<META NAME=\"keywords\" CONTENT=\" $keywords \">";
