I'm wanting to make a simple PHP script that converts Celsius to Farenheit, Farenheit to Celsius, Farenheit to Kelvin, and Celsius to Kelvin. I have the formula but it requires fractions. How can I use frations in PHP to multiply or divide? If you can't, how could I substitute doing so? 5/9 (F - 32) is the forumla to get Celsius to Farenheit if you need it.

Supposing you want to display the numbers as decimal values:

$celsius = ($farenheit - 32) * 5 / 9;

Only writing is an issue. PHP 4.3's bundled GD2 library supports gif-reads. And the patent actually expires in 2003 so we'll be able to roll in gif-writes next year.

Hi,

I'm using php 4.2.3 with courier-imap, when I run the function imap_fetchstructure the return for 'type' and 'subtype' variables are always text/plain even when the content type says multipart/mixed, text/html, etc... The same happends with the 'parts' array, empty all the time. I tried diferent php, from 4.1.0 to 4.2.3. I'm running apache 1.3.27.

This is an example of the returning values after an imap_fetchstructure with a multipart/related content type: ---------------------- type = 0 subtype = PLAIN ifsubtype = 1 encoding = 1 parts =

imap_fetchheader: CONTENT-TYPE: MULTIPART/RELATED; BOUNDARY="---- =_NEXTPART_94915C5ABAF209EF376268C8" -----------------------

Any ideas ? Thanks!

Dear all

I'm trying to create a search function that can check the current day in a calendar against a mysql database where there is a startdate and enddate and if the date is there then colour code the cell in the calendar.

I have tried to use the following command

$eventQuery = "SELECT title FROM prestigecal WHERE '$sql_currentday' BETWEEN startdate AND enddate;";

The database has an ID - title - startdate - enddate

This seems to work BUT if the date in the database is a single number i.e. 0 to 9 it cannot dispaly it and also if the startdate or endate is a 10, 20 or 30 it also thinks that it is a 1, 2or 3

Just in case it helps the full codede for this section is as follows :

/snip $sql_currentday = "$year-$month-$zz"; $eventQuery = "SELECT title FROM prestigecal WHERE '$sql_currentday' BETWEEN startdate AND enddate;"; $eventExec = mysql_query($eventQuery); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($eventExec)) { if (strlen($row["title"]) > 0) { echo "<td bgcolor=\"red\" valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"><font size=\"1px\" face=\"Verdana\">$zz</font></td>\n"; $result_found = 1; /snip

Thanks for any advice.

This is how i deal with dates...

$date = date in the database. $today = strtotime( gmdate( "Y-m-d" ) ); $spd = 60 * 60 * 24; // seconds per day $fdate = strtotime( substr( $date, 0, 10 ) ); $future = ( $fdate - $today ) / $spd;

do the comparision with $future and it should work for yeah...

Basically, I convert it all to seconds and do the math...

Hello,

I've managed to get a series of javascripts to work exactly as I wanted. They check all and uncheck all checkboxes with a single click of a control checkbox.

Unfortunately, the information has to be sent to php. As soon as I add the [] brackets to an input name, the javascript no longer functions. I'll look up a javascript mailing list next, but I figured there must be some other way to get php to recieve the data and convert it to an array.

Does anyone have an idea how I can make the php script gather all the multiple &browser=lynx&browser=mosaic&browser=explorer instead of only the last entry?

Thanks for any help,

Keith

Then you can use something like this to get them out of the array:

if (count($group) > 0){ for($i=0; $i < count($group); $i++) { $sql = "INSERT INTO groupImage VALUES "; $sql .= "(0, '$imageID', '$group[$i]')"; mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); //echo "linked \"$imageName\" to groupID=".$group[$i]." in gi table<br>"; } } you might have to change the js. If you are accessing form elements in js then you can use something like: forms.elements['group[]'] to access the js checkbox array by name.

> Does anyone have an idea how I can make the php script gather all the > multiple > &browser=lynx&browser=mosaic&browser=explorer > instead of only the last entry?

AFAIK varName[] is the only way to go if you want the checkboxes in an array.

I suppose you could just give a unique name to each checkbox. I believe that PHP will have a value for those checkboxes that are checked. Then you could loop through your set of checkbox vars and see which have a value.

attached mail follows:

Put the brackets for php...

Now, to loop through the elements in JavaScript, you're going to have to do something like this....

var test = false; for ( i = 0; i < document.forms[0].elements['myname[]'].length; i++ ) //code for whatever you want to do here //if you want to check if at least one of the boxes are checked if ( document.forms[0].elements['myname[]'][i].checked ) { test = true; } }

then you can just check to see if "test" is true or false...true if at least on box has been checked, false if none of the boxes have been checked.

Since I haven't seen any of your code, all I can do is guess.

So, I think it would be better if you just (1) Edit your php.ini. Make the setting the same as the company's. (Later, you might want to look at the way they compiled their php as well.) (2) After you finish editing, restart your web server. Then, (3) Try running your php scripts again.

IF you are able to run the scripts without any problem THEN the problem lies somewhere else...

This setting can potentially make a difference. BTW, where possible, please use copy and paste. "magic_qoutes_gpc" should be "magic_quotes_gpc". Introducing spurious typos into does not help in diagnosing anybody's problems.

Why don't you say exactly _what_ problems you're having?

If you wait a few more days, I'll upload the new version that deals with that. It is done but I need to update the documentation as well for a new feature regarding checkbox validated that had requests for.

Why don't you copy and paste the error here?

I need to make a search engine for my site. Instead of making a table with all the words of my content of my reviews, I need to make it simple. How could you search a table of articles (let's say game_reviews) by comparing keywords the user types in, to the text of the article? All the tutorials I can find make a table with a list of words of every single keyword...

Well, if you're using a database, say MySQL, you can look at FREETEXT indexes and queries. If you want to index your web pages, you should be looking at a search engine that works with your web server. For example, ht:dig (http://www.htdig.org/) works with Apache.

Ok, then you can use FULLTEXT queries.

Take a look here:

Hello,

Extreme newbie here (halfway through my first book :) ). I need to open a file, read the whole file into a variable, manipulate it, and then echo it to the screen. I'm doing it right from my book and it's not working. Here's what I have now:

<? $header = fopen("header.html","r");

echo $header; ?>

It writes "Resource id #1" at the top of the page. What is that?! :)

I have also tried using file(). That displays "Array" on the screen. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Troy

What is that?! :)

Check the manual:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

You're echoing the result of fopen() which is an "int"--you have to make sure that you're using the function properly ;)

> I have also tried using file(). That displays "Array" on the screen. What > am I doing wrong?

I think it's because you're echoing the result of file() which is an array. You cannot just "echo $the_array;" Try print_r($the_array) and you'll see a different result--though I doubt it's the one you want to see :)

Check the manual again:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php

Anyway, I think you're looking for something like this:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php

Esp. the "User Contributed Notes".

What is the most secure way to store mysql-username / mysql-password data in xxx.inc.php files so that only one hosting-client can read it with phps' file, include, require function?

This appears to be a register globals problem....

replace "switch($select)" with "switch($_GET['select'])".

For information on register globals and why it has been turned off in later releases see this pagee:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php

There is nothing syntactically wrong with the switch statment you are just refering to an non-existant variable... I imaginge this came from an outdated book or tutorial.
