For some reason my brain is not operating within normal parameters this week.

$myarray["test"] = "sd";
echo $myarray[0];

Why will nothing echo? Do I somehow have to initialize indexing on the array $myarray?
php says that $myarray is an array, but I can't access it with numeric indexes.

I know if I do this:
$myarray = array("test"=>"sd");
that I can now echo $myarray[0] and get the value of sd returned.

attached mail follows:

Because you haven't put anything in array index 0. The only array index
that has anything is "test". There is no difference between numeric and
string indices. You seem to be assuming that somehow the first element in
an array can always be accessed as index 0 which is not the case and never
has been.

That's because your $myarray was set using strings...

Are you sure? Try it :)

attached mail follows:

So are you saying there really is no array pointer?
Lets say I have an array with several different values like:
$myarray["a"] = "s";
$myarray[3] = "d";
$myarray["sdf"] = "y";
There is no way of saying give me the value in the array at position 2?
Since the size of the array is returned as 3, should there not be a way of
doing this?

Like I said, I seem to be blanking on arrays.

Yes... for the most part... think about it this way... (and please correct
me if I'm wrong :)

An associative array isn't ordered. It's key based. Think of it like a
dictionary, but one whose first and last several pages have been removed.
You wouldn't have any way of telling me the definition for the 100th word
since you don't know. But you can tell me the definition of "foo" is by
looking it up directly.

And you're not guaranteed anything about their order since, well, they
don't have any order :) I know that in PHP you can do:

$ary["y"] = "two";
$ary["x"] = "one";
print_r($ary);

and you'll get back:

Array
(
[y] => two
[x] => one
)

but you're not *guaranteed* to get it back in the same order you supplied
it. It just happens that you do in PHP. Back when I used Perl you
wouldn't necessarily get the same order repeatedly.

hope this helps.

While that is a good way to approach arrays, you are actually guaranteed
to get the array back in the order you added the elements in PHP.

I think the fog is starting to clear, thanks for the help.

I do have one more question:
If I want to use array_walk in a class, how do I refer to a function in that
class?

Class MyClass
{
    .
    .
    .
    function DoArrayStuff(&$item1, $key, $nMode)
    {
            echo $item1;
    }
    function SomeOtherFunction
    {
        .
        .
        $myarray already filled with, say, 5 items;
        array_walk($myarray,'DoArrayStuff',1); <--- PHP error:
DoArrayStuff() - function does not exist in . . .

        I have tried 'MyClass::DoArrayStuff', 'this->DoArrayStuff',
'$this->DoArrayStuff' but none work.
        The only way I can seem to use DoArraySuff is to define the funcion
seperate(outside) from the class, which seems kind of odd since the only
time the function is needed is internally by this class.
    }

}

Basically SAX and DOM are for parsing xml and xslt is for transforming
xml into html, svg, wml, pdf and the like. So it sounds like you want to
use xslt.

I suppose, you mean, generating XML from another XML document, am I right?

So, if I well understood, in case you simply want to manually write XML
documents and XSLT stylesheets, and then have the PHP (Sablotron in the
specific) to make the produce your HTML from it, you don't need SAX or DOM.
Is this correct, or am I missing something?

Does this mean that you only need SAX or DOM if you want to convert an XML
format to another XML format?

Really thanks

attached mail follows:

I used a similar script and had the same problem I'm having with yours.
The first few lines returned in the '$response' variable are the
headers from the POST operation. When I get to the 'print' command at
the end I get the headers generated by my server, then the headers
retrieved from the POST operation are displayed on the page.

Is this because of how I have my server configured? Or is there some
run-tim way to tell the server to *not* generate headers, but simply
send the specified text (including the headers) to the browser?

Anyone like to recommend a good host with good uptime for a high traffic site? The host would need excellent technical support as well as be feature rich (Multiple MySQL database support/listserver/SSL support etc.)

I have been trying out phpwebhosting.com and they seem very good but I am not happy with their technical support which is very slow response time. We are based in Europe and they are in the US which might lead to problems as they haven't answered any of our queries. Saying that they have a good automated process in place which is easy to use.

Wow, that's not bad. About half of what I pay (the $200 for the first year part). Do you use them? I'm with www.jtlnet.com right now, and am satisfied with their service, but for that kind of money, I'd switch if I didn't have to sacrifice service. Their site claims that they're using PHP 4.04, do you know if this is correct? JTL is using 4.2.2, so I'd have to check if anything I'm using wouldn't work properly on 4.04. If you're using them, do you have a phpinfo link I can look at?

no, sessions never send location headers, they may send cookies but not location.

Does anyone know a good source for this type of info?

This class may be used to figure the coordinates of a location given the IP address of a computer (the user computer):

http://www.phpclasses.org/netgeoclass

attached mail follows:

how much does the service cost?

or am misunderstanding the class?

why do you have to enter a password?

The access to the site is free. The authentication is necessary to acurately account the downloads and also to keep you upto date to the changes that are made to the class files (if you want of course).

The class interfaces to the NetGeo service which is also free.

There is nothing to worry you about any charges.

I can't really use that class. I'm looking for a table of zip codes, with relating lat and lon cords. I already wrote the calculation code. That PHP class is reliant on a web service which I'm not interested in.

Thanks anyways,

Umm .. I bought such a database for a project I did.

These people have what you want:

http://zipinfo.com/products/products.htm

Just an interesting link:

http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/places.html

I was just trying to find something that I read had been done with Perl. I think maybe it was just for log analysis, anyhow, while searching I found this:

http://greatcircle.locallink.net/

kind of hokey site but how knows. They say they have a database for US$ 9.95. I used the people above about 3 years ago and they are still in business, I like that.

Lots of stuff out there. Here is an interesting company:

Show us a few lines of code before the line that the error message reports.

Remember, the line in the error message is just where PHP figured out something was wrong. The cause could be anywhere before that line.

Read this:

Variables from outside PHP: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php

Some notes:

a) Know your register_globals directive. b) register_globals defaults to off as of PHP 4.2.0. c) It's preferred not to rely on register_globals being on. d) Autoglobals, such as $_GET, became available in PHP 4.1.0. e) register_globals can be changed in php.ini or .htaccess but not ini_set(). f) Many older scripts assume register_globals = on. g) This change is huge in the PHP world. h) register_globals affects web server vars too, so for example, $DOCUMENT_ROOT won't exist if it's off, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. Same for PHP_SELF, etc. i) $_REQUEST can be useful, import_request_variables() too.

The best solution would probably be to send each email by itself or do the actual sending thru a mailing list program.

BCC works great, but a lot of spam filters will catch it - plus some shared servers have a limit on the number of BCC's on a single mail piece.

You are contradicting yourself. Most mailing list programs put all recipients in Bcc: and queue only on message, so it is the same thing that you are recommending against and for it.

Spam filters that discard messages which the recipients are in Bcc: are wrong, just like everybody that filters messages with general criteria like that. Anyway, it is their problem if they discard messages arbitrarily.

Some ISP of shared servers disallow messages sent to many recipients regardless if you send them with recipients in Bcc or in separate messages. Sending in separate messages gives more load to the server and takes much longer to queue so it may annoy your ISP than just sending all in Bcc.

You need to check with the ISP if sending to many recipients respects the acceptable use policy. If they don't accept bulk mailing, it doesn't matter the method you use.

Hi y'all

A while back I requested help for properly capitalizing names out of passed string values, as ucwords() and tokenizing didn't do the trick.

Some kind soul gave me this scripple to work with:

> $text = "What?No delimiters,shit happens here.this solves all problems."; > preg_match_all("/(\w+[,. ?])+/U", $text, $words); > foreach($words[0] as $part) $uwords[] = ucfirst($part); > $text = implode("", $uwords); > echo $text;

Which didn't work at all (even changing the variables to match my own), but only got me several errors for each line...

My task was to make it take a string like "firstname_middlename_firstlastname-lastlastname" and properly capitalize it. Also wanted it to do it correctly with names like O'Connor, MacEnroe, McCarthy and such... The scribble above would be able to do it with the O'Connors and name-name formats, but useless with Mac/Mc names ... plus the above script part didn't work at all on my system (PHP 4.2.3 on Apache 2.0.40 on WinXP Pro).

OK ... so I wanted a compact structure that could do this easily, and correctly, on ANY name I threw at it...so I've spent a couple of hours finding useful functions in PHP that would do the trickery easiest ... and ended up with this:

$name = $HTTP_GET_VARS['name'];

// pull real name out of $name $realname = ""; // okay, let's get the names cap'ed correctly... $startat = 0; // these vars are used for substring pulling $stoplen = 0; // parse 1, find funny chars and cap after them for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($name); $i++) { $ltr = substr($name, $i, 1); // pull out letter i of name $stoplen = $i - $startat; // set the stop point for substring // if current letter is a marker if ($ltr == "_" | $ltr == "-" | $ltr == "'") { // add substring $realname .= ucfirst(substr($name, $startat, $stoplen)); $startat = $i + 1; // set new start point for substring } if ($ltr == "_") { // if space, add space $realname .= " "; } elseif ($ltr == "-") { // if dash, add dash $realname .= "-"; } elseif ($ltr == "'") { $realname .= "'"; } } // the last name won't be added in parse 1, // this piece adds the last name AFTER checking and capping for Mac/Mc // so this is essentially pass 2 $lastname = substr($name, $startat, $stoplen + 1); // find Mac/Mc $maclen = 0; // we set this to zero to make it easier to check for found if (strstr($lastname, "mc") != false) { // if Mc is found... $maclen = 2; } elseif (strstr($lastname, "mac") != false) { // if Mac is found $maclen = 3; } if ($maclen > 0) { // add the MacSomething with proper capitalization $realname .= ucfirst(substr($lastname, 0, $maclen)); $realname .= ucfirst(substr($lastname, $maclen, strlen($lastname))); } else { // if we can't find Mac/Mc, just add the last name... $realname .= ucfirst($lastname); } // end namegame

The curious thing is that this actually runs faster than the strtok() + ucwords() combo I had before, plus it does the trick correctly, everytime. If anyone can see a more efficient way of doing this, I'm all for it.

Do note that I've intentionally made it so that the last word of all names won't be added to the $realname, until it's determined whether or not it starts with Mac/Mc. The point to this is simple: It's a lot more complicated to scan for the Mac/Mc after the full name is assembled, than it is while it's being built. My structure also ensure that if someone's called something like Mackenzie for first name, it will not be incorrectly cap'ed, as it only does the scotch-check on the last names...

If you can do this simpler, or have any comments for this way of doing it, please let me know. You may freely copy and dsitribute this as you wish.

Hi,

I am developing a website in PHP that stores all its information in a MySQL database. The webserver is a FreeBSD box running Apache with pretty much all extensions installed (its owned by a friend of mine who works for an ISP. He is competant at setting this sort of box up, so I am confident its all installed correctly).

Now, the site works fine 100% of the time when I visit it from home (Amiga 4000, with any of these browsers: AWeb, IBrowse and Voyager), but when I visit from my work computer (IE 6, Windows 98 SE, going through an NT4 server with Microsoft Web Proxy 2.0), lots of MySQL errors appear, that go away after a refresh or two! They happen on pretty much ANY page that accesses MySQL, and its an intermittant problem.

It even occurs on pages where the mysql query is a hardcoded string, so it is not related to realtime-generated queries.

Now, 2 or 3 friends have visited the site with linux boxes and windows, using Opera, Mozilla and IE, and don't get any MySQL errors, so it only seems to be when I visit from work! I also tried from a couple of my colleagues machines today (same web proxy, some IE 5.5, some IE6), and they didn't get any, so they only seem to occur when i visit from this one machine!

This is confusing the hell out of me because PHP and MySQL is all server side, and surely the final HTML served should be the same no matter where I visit from!

This is the type of error that I get from my work machine:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/httpd/www.videobrewery.com/shownews.php on line 40

So it appears the original mysql_query() is failing. What could be causing that from the client end?!

Cheers, Pete

attached mail follows:

Well, the only thing that comes from the client side is GET, POST, or COOKIE data. All the browsers should handle GET and POST data the same, so I doubt that's it. Is the work computer your on accepting cookies? Are values from cookies or sessions used anywhere in the SQL in question?

Thats just the thing, even on pages when the query involves NO external inputs like GET, POST or COOKIE, e.g:

$res = mysql_query( "select * from news order by date limit 10"); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows( $res );

it'll work fine from all but this one machine. Also, other PHP powered sites work fine from it! I just don't understand it...

Ooooh... now thats odd... for the first time ever it just happened from home! Now i'm confused... in the process of creating the site, i've loaded up the pages several hundred times, and its just not happened from home, and now out of the blue it just happened. So... it seems that the problem is just FAR more likely to happen from that one machine than any other... !

Well, that would make a lot more sense. :)

Is it alway the same error? Is it always a problem related to MySQL? If it's intermittent like this and on simple queries, I'd say you have a problem with MySQL, or the tranfer of data between MySQL and PHP. Are you checking for a mysql_error() in these queries?

Well, I've just chucked a load of debug in the page where it cropped up, printing out mysql error at every mysql call... but in accordance with sods law its just not happening again :) I'll keep trying...

Use error_log() to log any useful debugging info into a file. Then, if and when the error occurs all the pertinent info is ready and waiting for you in a file.

Take out the forward slash in your include. '/common.php' means to look in the root directory for the file, while if you just put 'common.php' or './common.php' it'll look in the same directory as includetest.php. Or, provide a full path to the file '/www/htdocs/php/common.php'.

Very slightly OT but great minds here

I have a table with two columns and I need to get all the items that are not in the shop number I select, with the exception of items that are in the shop number I select.

Table

Shopnumber item 1 orange 1 banana 1 apple 1 pear 2 grape 2 coca cola 2 pepsi 3 orange 4 orange 4 pepsi 4 7 up 4 sunny delite

I need to be able to work out all the items that are in the other shops. For example if a customer picks orange from shopnumber 1 I need to get a result that has all items in all shops except shop1 The problem is my query still picks items that are in shop1 if they are in another shop as well, which is not what I need

My current query is select * from table where shopnumber!=$shoprvar. As an example if I use select * from table where shopnumber!=1 I would get grape, coca-cola,pepsi (x2),7 up, sunny delite and orange (x2). I don't want orange because it is in shop1!!!!!

Help and BIG THANKS for the ANSWER? Scott

attached mail follows:

Yes...off topic...

Join the table with itself.

untested...

SELECT t1.shopnumber, t1.item from table t1, table t2 where t1.shopnumber = 1 and t1.shopnumber = t2.shopnumber and t1.item != t2.item

Something like that?? Play around with it...

Use strtotime() like someone else suggested. It's easier, but mktime does work. If you read the whole manual page and comments, I'm sure you'll see an example.

$date = strtotime("now + X days");

Yes, I'd considered that. That was what I'd gone looking for in config files etc. I'd hoped to find a switch for ftp transfer mode. Didn't find one though.

However, partly because of your email and partly because I noted that the file size increase was the same every time (27 bytes) I decided to load it into a hex editor.

What I found was that at the top of the file, the following had been added:

-----8<----- Content-Type: image/gif

-----8<-----

I also found that if I remove these two lines the image will display perfectly.

So, my next question is, why does my linux box add this to an uploaded image and my windows box not do so? Can someone make a suggestion on where I should be looking? Is the addition of this information a server (Apache) thing? Or is it a php thing?

CYA, Dave

I'm having big problems with uploading jpeg pictures from a calling form. What happens is that the htpps connection begins (usaully at a very low transfer rate -- somewhere around 900 b/s, and then dwindles rapidly to 200 - 20 -10 b/s). The file doesn't appear in the upload or temp directory (file size was in the test case 500 bytes).

I've properly encoded the page:

The actual upload code is placed almost at the beginning of the page (just after calling session_start).

The code:

<?php if ($_FILES['pix']['size'] > 0) {

if ($_FILES['pix']['type'] == "image/jpeg") {

$pix_file = $_FILES['pix'][name]; $pix_temp_file = $_FILES['pix']['temp_name'];

$new_pix_file = "{$_SESSION['rid']}-{$_SESSION['sid']}.jpg";

if(is_uploaded_file($pix_temp_file)) { move_uploaded_file($pix_temp_file, "pix_holding/$new_pix_file");

copy("pix_holding/$new_pix_file", "pix/$new_pix_file"); } } } ?>

Any ideas what what might cause a connection to dwindle and die like this? I can upload/download anywhere else except with this code. I'm using a Unix box, as well s my IP. Directory/file permissions are OK and set to 755.

How can I convert an integer variable to a string variable? I have checked PHP's website and I must not be looking for the right function. Any help please.

Jef

attached mail follows:

I would approach this by first going here:

http://www.php.net/manual/

And go to the section on types:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.php

In there is a section for type juggling:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php

From these places you'll see various options, such as:

$int = (string) $int;

settype($int, 'string');

On a related note, all variables passed through HTTP are strings. See also is_numeric().

Do you want to compile PHP or PHP code? If you want to compile PHP itself full instructions are included in the source distribution. If you want to compile PHP code then I believe there are a couple about - Google should be able to find them for you - but I'm pretty sure none of them work within Visual Studio. If you are looking for a speed increase for a web site your best bet is the Zend accelerator: http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-accelerator.php

I hope that helps.

hi all,

I got a html page, on which I put a form, with quit a lot of questions (all kinds: textboxes, dropdowns, check, radiobuttons, ...). Its for an online survey Im doing.

Now Im looking for a php script that puts all the data in a textfile, the moment someone clicks on Submit. It should write all data (also the values of the radiobuttons and stuff) in one line in a textfile, the fields seperated by ; eg. If there is a field left blank, there should also be a blank field in the txtfile. (reason: i want to be able to import it in some other programs). The next time someone fills in the form, id like the script to open the file again and simply add a line, with the answers of this next person.

Ive been looking everywhere, but didnt find nething that was of much use; mainly there are a lot of scritps out there to mail the results to an emailadress, but I want it in a txtfile.

I dont know how to write php, so perhaps someone could help me by telling me where to find it... (Cant even read php, so configuration should be very easy and clear)

Thanks a lot Tharkis

This question was already asked today... do a little searching.

$date = strtotime("now + X days");

Yes, this works, but only if I include the file before the use of the variable, but, what if I use the include() after the use of the variable?

try it and see .. though I am pretty sure that it won't work unless you define the variable else where in the file b4 calling it. other wise the variable will either be blank or give you an error saying undefined variable if it's used before the include.

Hello,

I'm a PHP newbie who needs to serve a custom file format and turn it into valid XHTML. I can imagine someone using a similar technique to remove all comments from HTML files as they're being served, etc.

I've configured Apache so that it assigns the file extension to PHP and prepends PHP code to create a pageServer object and cal
