Ernest, close but you have it reversed for my needs (i.e. true binary
form). Notice that my LSB is to the left, not right.

As Evan Nemerson pointed out to me, the decbin(), bindec(), Dec2Bin()
and Bin2Dec() functions shed some light. What I need is the equivillant
functions but with a way to flip the order of the bits from LSB to MSB.
I believe that is called "little endian" and "big endian"?

I've been playing with one function to convert my purchitem[] to a
decimal value, then use the decbin() to get a string, then reverse it...
Seems cumbersome but mebbe that's the solution?

function Array2Dec($array)
{
        $decimal = 0;
        while ( list($Key, $Val) = each($array) )
        {
              //notice the ($Val - 1) because
                //our array starts at index 0, not 1
                $decBit = pow(2, ($Val - 1));
                $decimal += $decBit;
                echo "<br>array[".$Key."] = ".$Val." :: ".$decBit;
        }
        return $decimal;
}

function reverseString($myString)
{
        $charArray = preg_split('//', $myString, -1,
PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
        $revchars = array_reverse($charArray);
        $revString = "";
        while ( list($Key, $Val) = each($revchars) ) { $revString .=
$Val; }
        return $revString;
}

Oooh! I think you're on to something there. Nice!

Hey, what's the "" symbol for? I see in the manual the "&" is a
reference (like a pointer in C I assume), but I can't find the ""

It'll suppress warnings and errors. If the $purchitem does not have a
key 4 or 5, like in your example, then you'll get a warning for
undefined offset, depending on your error reporting level. This just
suppresses that.

If you do it this way, you may want to sort $purchitem if you can't
guarantee it's going to be in ascending order. Or you can use in_array()
and not care about the order.

Ah, ic, you want a <<string>> like "00001100101" - that's easy :)
Note that I do _not_ pass the array by reference here since I modify it
(using asort).

function make_a_special_bitlike_string($array)
{
        $result = '';
        sort($array, SORT_NUMERIC);
        $max = $array[count($array)-1];
        for ($i = 1; $i <= $max; ++$i) {
                if (in_array($i, $array))
                        $result .= '1';
                else
                        $result .= '0';
       }
       return $result;
}

if you need this as a number, simply return "(int)$result", but beware that
this breaks if there are more than 32 digits (highest value > 32).

This should do it:

$purchitem[0] = 1; $purchitem[1] = 3; $purchitem[2] = 4;

$s = '00000'; while(list($key,$val) = each($purchitem)){ $s[$val-1] = '1'; } echo "s = $s <br>";

Nah, that's dead easy:

$mask = str_repeat("0", number_of_books_to_be_tracked);

foreach($purchitem as $book_no): $mask{$book_no} = "1"; endforeach;

Okay.... anything outside of the <? And ?> php tags is considered output to the browser. Session_start must be before all of this.

In other words, you file should start like this:

<? session_start();

//other PHP stuff ?> <html> ...

I have read from various sources that Zend Engine 2 will make an appearance in PHP 5.0. It's a pretty significant update, and as such, I doubt it would be smart to implement it in the middle of a major series (4.x).

Mind you, it's been a while since I've read anything on ZE2, so things may have changed by now... the PHP powers that be would only be able to give me a definitive answer.

PHP 4.2.* has "register_globals = off" as a default. You variables has to be $_POST["fname"] or $_POST["fname"] or $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] etc.,

or you can simple incides one file eg.

//extract.php <? extract($_SERVER); extract($_ENV); extract($_GET); extract($_POST); extract($_REQUEST); ?>

in your old codes...

require_once "extract.php";

Are you aware of register_globals = off?

It might be the problem. You can set register_globals = on in php.ini

you better use $_POST, $_GET, $_SERVER ...

eg.

$fname -> $_POST["finame"] or $_GET["fname"]

It doesn't contain a single result. It returns 16 order numbers (which is correct - 8 should be in the table emails with no checked and therefore the query has worked and pulled out 8 from the orders table also). What I want the function to do is say OK where the orderid's match pull out all the address details for each orderid and display what I want displayed accordingly. At the moment I get this array returned by using print_r($row). Array ( [0] => 100040 [orderid] => 100040 ) Array ( [0] => 100041 [orderid] => 100041 ) Array ( [0] => 100043 [orderid] => 100043 ) Array ( [0] => 100044 [orderid] => 100044 ) Array ( [0] => 100046 [orderid] => 100046 ) Array ( [0] => 100050 [orderid] => 100050 ) Array ( [0] => 100051 [orderid] => 100051 ) Array ( [0] => 100052 [orderid] => 100052 )

Where do I go from here?

Well, like I said in my previous post if you remove the line:

$orderid = $row;

then your second query *should* work.

Usually these sites have an interface based on SSL to POST data to, optionally calling back any URL you submit (at least FirePay works this way).

You might consider using curl to SSL-post data to the CC aquirer.

Most clearing houses are offering prefab PHP solutions, with and/or without a little shop solution. Try to check the docs with your aquirer.

The $_POST array exists of keys and values. The keys are strings (in the case of $_POST), so you'll have to access them like strings. Use $_POST['table_name'] instead of $_POST[table_name]. The same goed also for $_POST[field_name], $_POST[field_type] and $_POST[field_length].

The first thing I do when confronted with this kind of problem is to print out the sql statement and carefully look through it. So if you have not done this yet, comment out the $result = statement. Above that add an echo $sql; Now look through the sql statement and make sure all fields are there and there is no syntax problem with your query, this is most likley the case. If you are using mysql I would recommend downloading phpMyAdmin which is a php GUI interface to mysql, once this is running, you can simply cut and paste the sql statement into the phpMyAdmin query box and try to run it from there, it will tell you where your syntax is wrong.

Also, you should echo out $sql so you can see what is actually created. It will probably be obvious what the error is.

$sql ="CREATE TABLE {$_POST[table_name]} ((";

Yes, I have (located in /usr/lib). With the apache module, as I said, PHP works, even curl calls.

I'm not really a Linux guru, but I found that /usr/lib is nowhere mentioned in the environment (# env). Shouldn't this?

Oops: # ldd libphp4.so ldd: ./libphp4.so: No such file or directory

I found libphp4.so in /etc/httpd/modules (the correct path for apache extensions on RedHat), and in /usr/lib/apache (from the default compile).

I think I have to re-explain the problem completely. I want to use this script in a login form. Once, someone is authenticated, then I register variables for indentifying him/her through session. After I register those variables I want to redirect him/her to a page, which required authenticated users (and it's done by registering variables through session). Due to this, I decide to use header: location. Futhermore, I use IE 5.5, Apache 1.3.26, PHP 4.2.1 [, MySQL 3.23.51] which running on Windows ME. Here is the script (register globals is off, due to security and default setting in php.ini).

<?php $user = $_POST['user']; $user = $_POST['password']; if (authenticate($user)) { session_start(); $_SESSION['user'] = $user; $_SESSION['password'] = $password; header('Location: http://www.mysite.com/member.php'); exit(); } else { header('Location: http://www.mysite.com/login.php'); exit(); } ?>

When I try this code with an authenticated user, it seemed browser don't redirect to the page I specify above. The progress bar looked like searching something then it led to an error. I don't know why this could happen.

Am I missing something?

Thank you.

Someone from www.php.net told me that it can confuse browser (http://bugs.php.net/19991). But, still I can't the idea why it can happen. Does register session means sending a 'header: location' too?

Thanks.

What I've done : 1. Allow the user to login 2. Use the login.php page as its own 'form action' 3. Let the login form decide when to redirect the user to the 'destination' page. 4. force the destination page (welcome.php) to do additional authentication checking by comparing the users input to some other piece of information (session variable, cookie, database info, etc...)

Pseudo code for login page

<? php if $user_input = something || $more_user_info=somethingelse { header ('Location: http://www.mysite.com/welcome.php'); } ?>

<HTML> what ever the login page looks like </html>

Pseudo code for welcome.php:

<? php if $user_input != something || $more_user_info!=somethingelse { header ('Location: http://www.mysite.com/login.php'); } ?>

I have a bunch of form variables that I need to process as integers. The problem is that some users are writing in values with commas - e.g. 100,000, and that isn't read as an integer. There's more than one variable so I don't want to have to do a string replace for each one. Is there a general way to curb this problem?

Thanks, Doug

function str2int($str) { $str = str_replace(',', $str); // http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

Loop through your form variables and call this function. Good luck, -Kevin

This should work for you, this recursive function loops the array, if it gets array again, calls itself

function convert2int($var) { foreach($var as $k => $v ) { if(is_array($v)) { $var[$k]=convert2int($v); } else { $var[$k]=str_replace(',',$v); } } return $var; }

My organization has a need to publish some of our web content on a CD-ROM. I'm in search of suggestions on how to publish our dynamic content (php/mysql templates) in some sort of "runtime" configuration that would let users browse the site from cd.

What's involved with this? Is there such a thing as runtime mySQL? What would it take to serve PHP from a CD?

Help! I don't know where to begin and am looking for advice.

That would be a bit difficult--you would have licensing issues, particularly with MySQL, unless you actually distribute the sources.

Would publishing all the files in "static" format be an option?

That is going to be very hard to do...you might want to look at doing it all static...however, what are u going to do about the database connections...

IMHO, i would take the php site and make it static and then put it on a CD-ROM...it might be out of date, however, it might be the fastest way for ya.

Do you want them to access your site from the CD-ROM pages?

You could create special pages on your site that the CD-ROM pages call. But that would require the user of the disc to have internet access.

But running PHP from a cd-rom will probably not work unless you are doing some commandline cgi stuff...and i dont even want to think how that would work for ya...

i would probably do something where static html pages pull data from your site...

I dunno if its an old wives tail but I have heard that you can get apache/mysql and php running from a CD. You would of course need to turn off all logging etc.

Do a bit off google bashing.

Theoretically it is possible, but fact stays - you won't ever make it work well.

So, try to find an alternative for this. Usually, this choice is made by the managers that know nothing about how webcontent works.

It's a database site, containing thousands of records, similar to a products catalog like Amazon, for example. Publishing as static pages is not a viable option, and would greatly limit the search functionality.

There must be a way to do this! Thanks for all the feedback.

Thank you for replying, but I don't think I've made my problem clear enough. Let me give it another shot.

What I want is a function that takes the name of an array as a parameter so that it can be popped into any class that has arrays in it and work without modification. The problem I am having is in converting the passed in array name to the form which the class would recognize as its own member variable, i.e. $this->passed_in_array_name. In other words, it comes in as a string, just the name of the array, I append $this-> to it, but it still isn't getting interpreted the same as if I had written the call explicitely to $this->memberarray. Does this make any more sense?

You can do:

${"this->$passed_in_array_name"}

not sure right now of the correct syntaxing, I never do that - normally I'd pass the element key.

Amazing what you learn on this list :) This works:

class Example { var $array1 = array(); var $array2 = array(); var $array3 = array();

function add2array($array_name,$val){ $this->{"$array_name"}[] = $val; }

} $t = new Example(); $t->add2array('array1',25); $t->add2array('array2',26); $t->add2array('array3',"Hello"); echo '<pre>'; print_r($t); echo '</pre>';

Yet, this is not a such elegant way doing it. It can be helpful in a lot of cases, but most often, element key is enough. Try rethinking your logic:

class Example { var $array = array();

function add2array($element_name, $val){ $this->$array[$element_name] = $val; }

} $t = new Example(); $t->add2array('array1',25); $t->add2array('array2',26); $t->add2array('array3',"Hello"); echo '<pre>'; print_r($t); echo '</pre>';

Cleaner and more scalable, no?

Yes and to fit the original 3 seperate arrays it would be

function add2array($element_name, $val){ $this->$array[$element_name][] = $val; }

No, because you pass it the name and data. This way every name will become element's name containing the relevant data. Your way just makes it an associative array without a way of directly accessing it.
