I've noticed this question a fair bit, having to convince clients and
employers of a technology.. DO you guys really have that much trouble
selling php??

I tend to leave the development environment out of conversations all
together and talk product features, scalability, promotion etc

I do this with both the PHP and ASP projects I build.

If you really need to convince someone then there the kind of person people
who would really only need a name to associate things to.

Subject: [PHP] How good is PHP to ASP?

Hi all,

I'm not too sure if this is the right place to get my answers but I really
need to know this:

How can I convince my clients that PHP is really good? I mean not a lot
of non-programmers have heard of PHP language. Most of them only heard of
things like C/C++, ASP and the like. So, how can I prove to them that PHP is
a much better language to use?

Can anyone point me to the right resources for me to show and prove to
my clients?

Thanks a lot and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question.

Yours,

Wee Keat Chin

Search google.com for PHP case studies, also http://www.zend.com/links/links.php has a few links to sites about PHP vs. ASP.

You might also enlighten them about the differences of open source and Microsoft licensing.

Bottom line is if you have to make a product something it isn't to sell a client you shouldn't be using that technology.

Yes, I think it's a good idea to emphasize "licensing" ($$).

Also, "portability" might be another thing to mention. (With little or no changes, you're apps could run on different platforms, etc.)

I think you need to use a <textarea> if you wish for the returns to be submitted.

Thanks for your quick answer,

But it doesn't change anything. <textarea> change my text box into big text area-

So I always have to click on submit button to submit the form.

Return key presses in a <textarea> will usually be converted into a newline (\n).

Making your browser submit the form when you press enter is an HTML/Browser issue.

You probably should look at a javascript solution because this is a client side problem.

Actually, I miss-read your question... do you WANT the form to be submitted when hitting return/enter???

And you find that this is not happening when you are in a text field???

Correct?

This is a browser thing... I don't *think* there's anything in the standards to say when hitting enter should/shouldn't work -- i think it's something that each browser will do differently.

There may be something you can do with javascript.

Perhaps check out: http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/interact/forms.html

Or find a similar form example on another site, and dig around thru the code to have a look how they did it.

So? This doesn't have anything to do with PHP, it's dependant on the browser you are using. IE will do this for you sometimes, while most other browsers don't, I think.

Please ask your question on a relevant list.

What happens when ENTER is pressed depends on what browser you're using. Different browsers exhibit different behaviours, eg the old versions of Netscape (v4 and before) does not submit on ENTER. Also, put quotes around your attribute values eg:

A missing </form> tag? Some browsers are picky, so you might want to also do what someone else suggested to you earlier, which is to put quotes around your attribute values. This is especially important to implement while HTML fades out and languages based on XML (XHTML in particular) fade into popularity. Good luck.

Sure !

But just simple question? Is it necessary to put quotes around these attributes values? Because I think quotes increase the site size, and using IE4, IE5, IE6, NS4, OPERA, quotes don't change anything.

Of course if I have somethings with space, for value's attribute, It is important to put quote because sometimes users enter space.

well, you are right they may work, but according to the sepcification qoutes should be added, you should follow it, because you don't know the hidden browsers out there which you didn't test, and IE, Opera, NS can't guarantee that they will support this behaviour in future releases

Hi Rija:

No It's not "mandatory" to put quotes around attributes, but it would be wise to use this style="recommended" method of representing attributes, if for no reason="other" than to get used to a habit="good".

Really big thank to everybody,

But, now, I know what happening, because I check form submit using isset($_POST['submit']), so if user don't press submit button, $_POST['submit'] stay null even the rest is already sent. Then my script send me back to the first page.

Let's put it this way, using quotes will not break any browser. Not using quotes /may/ make your page not work correctly on browsers which implement strict syntax checking.

> Because I think quotes increase the site size, and using IE4, IE5, IE6, > NS4, OPERA, quotes don't change anything.

Yes, but by how much? You'll probably shave much more off the byte count by optimising your graphics than scrimping on quotes. Assuming a 56K modem downloading at 4KB/s, you would have to remove over 4000 quotes to save 1 sec of download time.

Like everybody had said "different browsers do different things on ENTER".

Some browsers (eg Opera) will submit your form as if you had clicked on the submit button. Others (eg IE), like you've already found out for yourself, submits the form but does not send the submit button.

It is. Without the quotes, the validator would complain. I came across this some time ago:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.4

- E

attached mail follows:

One point nobody seems to have raised about why its important to quote attribute values ...

<? $Value="foo bar"; echo "<INPUT type=text value=$Value>"; ?>

will produce the following code in the browser

and renders in the browser (testing in ie6) as a text box containing only the word foo

(The browser sets the value to foo and things bar is an unknown attribute so correctly ignores it)

quoting the attribute value fixes it

After, are you sure that the correct table field name is the weirdthing encoded by this function : ENCODE('password', 'sec') ??? if so, show us, the script that allow you to record the password ?

It is probably just a typo for an <h1> tag. It's nothing that PHP would create on its own.

Perhaps it has something to do with XML? A new coding scheme perhaps? Or perhaps a typo from XHTML-like syntax, which requires coding like <br />, etc. with the trailing forward slash inside the tag. It could be that Microsoft has developed a new coding scheme using XML which has its own DTD or XML Schema. I'm not sure what it could be. You can go to Microsoft.com (this site gives me shivers) and "dig" through their site for how they syntax markup within their FrontPage application.

...but just grabbing the first 24 chars wouldn't really give you a 12-letter-12-digit random string, no? I believe he needs the that way...

I don't know if this is a bug, or what, but I get an error when trying the following

if ( isset($adodbobject->Fields('myresult') ) ) { // do something }

PHP throws an error ( not warning ) saying: Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `')'' in /path/to/index.php on line 45

However, when I modify the isset to look like this:

$_q = $adodbobject->Fields('myresult'); if ( isset($_q) ) { // do something }

It works fine.

Is this proper behavior for isset, or is this a php bug? I can't search google groups for "->", or any other search engine for that matter. So it has been tough trying to see if anyone else gets this error.

Many thanks!

That's because isset() is expecting a variable, not a function. In your first example, you're trying to see if a function is set, not a variable. In your second example, you're doing it right...

That actually makes sense once I thought about it, a function referencing a variable, or reference to a variable is in no way the same as a variable.

You say you're not bitter, but it doesn't sound that way.

Remember, no one is getting paid to do this. Some questions just go unanswered, sorry. All you can do is rephrase and ask again or ask somewhere else.

Im trying to do something like this:

//checking the queried date $querieddate=(2002-11-02);

$incrementdate=date("$querieddate"),mktime(0,0,0,date(m), date(d)+1,date(Y))); $datetoday=("Y-m-d"); if($incrementdate == $datetoday){ //insert $datetoday to the mysql database }else{ //insert $incrementdate to the mysql database

Wow...that's confusing. :)

You will probably want to look at the DATE_SUB and DATE_ADD functions in MySQL. They are in the Date and Time section of Chapter 6 in the manual.

Something like this would insert the "date" and the day after it into two columns in the database.

$date = '2002-10-31';

$r = mysql_query("INSERT INTO your_table (todaydate, tomorrowdate) VALUES ('$date','$date' + INTERVAL 1 DAY)");

INTERVAL is a shortcut to the DATE_SUB and DATE_ADD functions.

---John Holmes...

attached mail follows:

Is it too late to change the way you insert dates into the DB? I really think the unix timestamp is the easiest way to store dates... comparisons are easy, because everything is in seconds, and using date() gives you the ability to re-format your dates over and over again for presentation purposes.

Just my 2 cents :)

Hi Prachait. Many thanks for your reply. I have not added to dll in IIS. I simply wanted to get off the ground and then build on what I had. So I followed the operating instructions for InstallationShield and modified the application mappings for .PHP and .PHP3 to point to C:/PHP.php.exe. I did though modify the previous IIS with the regedit provided by PHP zip version with the same results. Since that time I have reloaded ISS so I would have thought we were back to square one!!

One strange thing though PHP.EXE ignores anything I type into it e.g. info(). I have downloaded PHP from 2 different mirrors so I would have thought they were to be trusted.

My thoughts were that PHP.INI might need modification. But what specifically? The install instructions suggest that it should work as is.

Any Thoughts - Anyone please?

Ok, I have something like this set up:

1. User logs into site. Authenticates through a mysql table which basically just has username/password columns. Session is set.

2. User goes through site looking for information he'd like to purchase based on specific fields. After the gathering of information is done, a script dumps the text into a CSV file and zips it.

3. The user then downloads the zip.

What I can't figure out though, is in step number 3 - How do I secure this? The filenames are randomly generated, but if someone felt like saving a few bucks, they could write a program to try and brute force the guessing of filenames. I need to somehow have an .htaccess type system, WITHOUT .htaccess since the usernames are all just in a standard MySQL table. Any suggestions? Store the file in a table blob?

Try searching archives? It's been covered many times before and there are a load of good info in the archives. Start with the keywords as per your subject "Restrict file access".

attached mail follows:

You still need to restrict the files from being served directly over http... this can be done via a .htaccess, or just stored outside the document root.

Then, you create a script called download.php, which INSN'T a html page -- it sets a content header, and passes a .zip file through itself to the user.

1) Enable safe mode on a domain by domain basis. 2) Disable the use of specific functions on a domain by domain basis. 3) Disable php entirely on a domain by domain basis.

Any help or advice with any of the above would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. That's my problem: class MYCLASS { var $z = array(); function addOne($PRODUCT_ID,$IL,$PR) { $this->z[$PRODUCT_ID]=array("IL" => $IL, "PR" => $PR); } function myPrice() { $cn = 0.0; reset($this->z); while (list($id,$vals) = each($this->z)) { problem here! -> $cn=$cn + $vals["PR"]*$vals["IL"]; } reset($this->z); return $cn; } }

Example to above: $this->z[1] = array ("IL" => 1, "PR" => 634.4); then function myPrice() counts $cn as 634 (not as 634.4)!!! It works like that even when I convert $vals["PR"] and $vals ["IL"] to floats.

What's the problem?!?!

Thank's for any help :)

Be creative!

- Use print() on $vals["PR"] and $vals["IL"] to see what they contain - assign them to temp variables, then assign their multiplied value to a third temp variable, then print() all three. - you get the idea.

Hello:

I'm building an internal messaging system for small biz companies and I can't really go longer!!!!

Problem is, I use some fields to make the message form and one of them must be a <select multiple form element wich refers to messaging persons. This is my form:

<table> <tr> <td height="15" valign="top"><P class="P1">Para:</P></td> <td> <SELECT NAME=receptor[] size=6 multiple> <? //Legenda: eu - significa eusers || pu - significa preparar lista de utilizadores $eu_pu_result = mysql_query("SELECT u.name, u.email FROM users u"); while ($eu_pu = mysql_fetch_row($eu_pu_result)) { for ($i=0;$i<1;$i++) { echo"<option>$eu_pu[0]"; } } ?> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="15" valign="top"><P class="P1">Prioridade:</P></td> <td> <select name="priority"> <option value="Mínima">Mínima</option> <option SELECTED value="Normal">Normal</option> <option value="Prioritária">Prioritária</option> <option value="Urgente">Urgente</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="15" valign="top"><P class="P1">Assunto:</P></td> <td><input type="text" name="title" size=66 value="<? pv($frm["title"]) ?>"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="15" valign="top"><P class="P1">Descrição:</P></td> <td><textarea name="description" cols=50 rows=8><? pv($frm["description"]) ?></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><input type="submit" value="<?=$frm["submit_caption"] ?>"></td> </tr> </table>

After this, the page should reload on submit, but I keep getting the warning:

Warning: Undefined index: 1 in c:/apache/htdocs/sites/mail/admin/eusers.php on line 110

Warning: Undefined index: categories in c:/apache/htdocs/sites/mail/admin/eusers.php on line 120

All but the last, I think they appear because then page reloaded can't see any more the array of people (<select form>).

But... How can I solve the problem?

This is the file that is the page itself, as above in the warnings, called by:"eusers.php":

Which is line 110 and line 120?

I'm certainly not going to count the lines in your code to see which lines they refer to.

If you want people to help you, you should make it easier for them to do so by indicating which lines are being referred to as 110 & 120.

> All but the last, I think they appear because then page reloaded can't see > any more the array of people (<select form>).

Well, try using print_r() on all your important variables at strategic places in your code to see that they contain what you expect them to contain.

Sorry People:

I really forget that:

Line 110:

VALUES ('$receptor[1]', '$mfi->email', '$frm[priority]', '$frm[title]', '$frm[description]', now(), '$on_special')

which makes part of:

if (!isset ($receptor[])) { $receptor[] = "{0,0,0,0,0,0}"; } else { } for ($i=0;$i<6;$i++) { $qid = db_query(" INSERT INTO products (receptor, recipient, priority, title, description, date_added, on_special) VALUES ('$receptor[1]', '$mfi->email', '$frm[priority]', '$frm[title]', '$frm[description]', now(), '$on_special') "); }

Line 120:

for ($i = 0; $i < count($frm["categories"]); $i++) {

which makes part of:

$product_id = db_insert_id();

An this two parts, build a function:

function insert_product($id, $frm) { /* add a new subproduct under the parent $id. all the fields that we want are * going to in the variable $frm */

global $mfi, $ME;

$on_special = checked($frm["on_special"]);

//mail('$frm[receptor]','$frm[title]','$frm[description]','$frm[recipient]') ;

/* get the product id that was just created */ $product_id = db_insert_id();

Really sorry... again

one reason that i could think of for not including session id into URL and using cookies would be copy & paste.

users could just copy and paste the url and send it to his/her friends. and it could be a considerably number of people. imagine couple of people clicking on the link. that session will be shared among that no. of active people at that particular time. in short, session hijacking will occur.

Hello there,

My CS clan has just starting using phpBB for our clan forum. We are planning to develop a new php based site and wanted to be able to display customised content on the main page depending on the user logged in. For instance, I was thinking of having a login box in the corner of the page, and once logged in, you could navigate to the forum without having to sign in again.

Also, because each user has their own profile, I'd like them to be able to choose what content/news/announcements they see when they go to the site etc. An example of stuff like this in action is CS Nation.

Is all this rather ambitious, or can any give some advice/pointers/sources of info to go on?

Cheers,

X - number of seconds Y - domain EXT -type of domain (.net, .pt, .com, .org, etc...)

In PHP you use it also, or you may go to same location as an header (double check where to do it...):

I'm looking into the feasibility of moving our current MySQL database to Postgres and have been looking over the PHP documentation for each, comparing the functionality. One of the functions we use alot that I haven't seen in the pg function list is the equivilant of mysql_data_seek. Is there such a function? The closest thing I saw was pg_lo_seek() but I don't think (know, really. I'm still unsure what Large Objects are in the pgSQL context) I'll be using LO's.

Any info would be appreciated. Also, if you have gone through this (MySQL -> pgSQL), I'd love to hear your experiences.
