Try:

$sql="SELECT * FROM divx WHERE" .$sql1. " && " .$sql2. " ORDER BY titulo";

and add a space after the WHERE.

Also consider the positioning of the single quotes (') and double-quotes (") in the $sql1 assignment statement - they must be nested.

Finally, consider echoing sql1, $sql2, and $sql to be able to see with your own eyes! =dn

attached mail follows:

$sql1 = "titulo like '%$titulotxt%'" $sql2 = "cd like '$cdstxt'"; $sql = "SELECT * FROM divx WHERE $sql1 AND $sql2 ORDER BY titulo";

I think you are getting the error because of the ($titulotxt) ? portion of your sql statements. You really only need the two statements listed above and then put into your actual sql statement.

As already said, put a space after the WHERE clause.

What happens if $sql1 or $sql2 are empty (as your example provisons)? Create an $sql3 that combines $sql1 and $sql2, and construct your SQL accordingly:

$sql1 = ($titulotxt ? null : "titulo like '%$titulotxt%'"); $sql2 = ($cdstxt ? null : "cds like '$cdstxt'"); $sql3 = $sql1 . ($sql1 && $sql2 ? ' AND ' : null) . $sql2; $sql = 'SELECT * FROM divx ' . ($sql3 ? "WHERE $sql3 " : null) . 'ORDER BY titulo';

More information would be helpful. Perhaps the code to the page that is causing you trouble (i.e. the one where you are using the class you downloaded yesterday). Perhaps you are missing a key piece there.

HI Robbert et al..

Below is part of the code. I don't think I should send it all to the list, it's quite large. Looking at all this I think that I'm missing a lib for graphs. But I can't find anything on my SuSE 8.1 disks. What libs do I need for doing graphs?

Thanks

What I'm wondering is if you are calling the graphic's placing into the page correctly. I believe the class will probably work.

I have a page that includes a graph that I generate using mySQL and PHP. This is the code I use to actually display the graphic (not what generates it).

ImageJPEG($pic,$graphname);

echo "<p align=\"center\"><image src=\"$graphname\"></p>\n";

Of course there is a significant amount of code that actually generates $pic, but this is what I had to do to make the graphic appear.

I think you're referring to JavaScript and NOT Java.

But, whether it's Java or Javascript, you cannot really pause/stop the browser then do something to "complete loading the page." (Unless you press "stop"--but this would require you to reload.)

Anyway, Javascript (if you're referring to it) doesn't have that kind of function (AFAIK). Javascript can hide/unhide element on your form. It can also enable/disable a checkbox, for example. But those functions would only work AFTER the page is already loaded--and _not_ while it is loading. (Also, *after* the Javascript file--if you're using and external one--is already downloaded inside the your visitors' disk, etc.)

- E

PS BTW, Javascript (support) can be turned off by your visitors--maybe you already know that...

And... not all browsers supports Java. (But then again, you don't even need a browser to run Java! What am I saying here?...)

attached mail follows:

I understand that the Javascript will not pause the page from loading; however, it should, like you stated, modify the page and hence change what the client is seeing interactively which could include hiding/revealing different questions based on their input. This should ultimately present a form with answers to those customized questions without traversing a number of pages. I only asked the question hoping there was a method of accomplishing this that I wasn't aware of in PHP. It is understandable that it would not be possible server-side, but I figured I would check with the gurus.

If you can, use PHP 4.0.6 for server processing like that. It is the last version that worked in our experience. A script using 4.0.6 can run for months for us. Anything newer will die after a few hours/days. Not sure where the problem is. May not be MySQL extension. Could be anywhere.

Unless you are using persistent connections and unbuffered queries, then there is a memory leak in the MySQL extension.

Hi All :)

I have a form that is being passed to a mail function when submitted. It is working OK, except that I am having trouble with values from arrays such as checkbox lists. For example, I have a list such as:

<input type="checkbox" name="graphicFormat[]" value="eps" /> .eps <input type="checkbox" name="graphicFormat[]" value="jpg" /> .jpg <input type="checkbox" name="graphicFormat[]" value="tif" /> .tif <input type="checkbox" name="graphicFormat[]" value="gif" /> .gif <input type="checkbox" name="graphicFormat[]" value="png" /> .png <input type="checkbox" name="graphicFormat[]" value="psd" /> .psd <input type="checkbox" name="graphicFormat[]" value="bmp" /> .bmp <input type="checkbox" name="graphicFormat[]" value="other" /> other

I am using something like:

for ($z=0;$z<count($graphicFormat);$z++) { $graphicFormat = stripslashes($graphicFormat[$z]); }

Which will return a count of the number of items in the array. What I want returned is a string of the values selected such as:

"eps, gif, other"

Any suggestions?

Best Regards, verdon

Ps. Please cc me as I am on digest mode Pps. Please excuse if my question is TOO fundamental

attached mail follows:

you can use the implode() function:

for ($z=0;$z<count($graphicFormat);$z++) { $graphicFormat = stripslashes($graphicFormat[$z]); }

echo implode(", ", $graphicFormat);

$string = implode(",",$graphicFormat);

To see how many checkboxes were selected, use

$num = count($graphicFormat);

No need to reinvent the wheel for this. Just use parse_url() instead:

Well, your original question should of said that and we wouldn't be wasting time.

preg_match("%\.([^.]+\.[a-z]+)%",$host,$match)

A "single equals" is "=" not "!=". Otherwise, you would be correct.

From the, imagine this, Manual:

$a != $b Not equal TRUE if $a is not equal to $b.

$a !== $b Not identical TRUE if $a is not equal to $b, or they are not of the same type. (PHP 4 only)

SpamAsassin. You could probably set the spam to be fed to a PHP script as well, but I just throw it all to a text file, or filter it (or not) in the email program.

Hi Eddie, iFrames do offer a really nice solution, but they are an IE only tag. Although I can't vouch for the latest Netscape, I know that the older versions simply ignore the <iFRAME...> tag, and leave a blank spot in its place.

If you know that your client base will ever only use IE, then go for it. Otherwise, you'll have to avoid the iframe.

This is certainly not PHP... a combination of javascript + css + a whole lot of testing on browsers + an understanding that it will break some browsers might do it. <iframe>s will do it, <frame>s will too.

they are part of the HTML spec... so, conforming browsers (NN6, NN7, Opera I think, etc) all have iframe support. The real problem is NN < 6 (of which there are still plenty out there) and the lesser know and non-visual browsers.

That sounds a little harsh!

You can put a message in place of the iframe, for those who don't support it.

Or better still, you can actually PUT SOME CONTENT IN THERE.

I have an iframe which lists multiple tour dates for a band, sorted in date order... if the iframe can be used, the user gets ALL upcomming gigs ina scroller, otherwise they just get the next 3 (using approximately the same amount of space), with a link to view all gigs.

iframes CAN work in many cases, if you think about it.

that will work just fine. think of it this way- the array $item is registered (and maybe unregistered) with the session, but its elements aren't individually registered with the array. just register/unregister the array, and otherwise work with the array by setting and unsetting the elements as you described.

That's what eval() is for. eval() evaluates syntactically correct PHP code.

What you need to do is

$email_body = str_replace('"', '\"', $email_body); global $php_error; $php_error = null; eval("\$email_body = \"$email_body\";"); if ($php_error) die ($php_error);

Of course all double quotes need to be escaped beforehand, as the example shows. The error handling here is somewhat useless but demonstrates the idea.

Hey, http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php

regarding, jb at stormvision dot com dot na's post (below)

i need to output &row0=article__2|aaaa|tipo 1:&row1=art2|bbbbb|Tipo 2

how can i achieve this?

This might be usefull for people that work with lots of rows and want to place them all into one array for later usage. This script just takes care of all the tedious work one would have and puts all neccessary field names into your array automatically. This way you can use this script over and over for all kind of mysql functions. $result=mysql_query("select * from mydata order by 'id'")or die('died'); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); $j=0; $x=1; while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ for($j=0;$j<$num_rows;$j++){ $name = mysql_field_name($result, $j); $object[$x][$name]=$row[$name]; }$x++; }

For Later in the script you may use the below array to gain access to your data

$i=1; $ii=count($object); //quick access function for($i=1;$i<=$ii;$i++){ echo $object[$i]['your_field_name']; }

hope it helps

I believe you can just use urlencode() and urldecode() on the values.

You should set the owner and group of the includes directory correctly, additional to the file permissions.

If you want only apache (and PHP) to be able to read from the includes directory, and only you may add/modify, you should (assumed dgearon is your username):

chown dgearon:apache /home/sitename/include/. chown -R dgearon:apache /home/sitename/include/* chmod 750 /home/sitename/include/. chmod -R 640 /home/sitename/include/*

This will make your account the owner of the directory and all files, and the group "apache" the owning group. Only the owner may list and modify the directory and files, and only the owner and the owning group may read the directory and its files. All others are blocked access.

no, they are read by the web server, not executed

set the last permission number to zero (see above). The last number stands for "world" which means all others that are not owner or ownergroup.

No - even if _they_ cannot read your include files, they add the include() directive, and PHP will be able to read the file.

The BIG problem is that it has to have something to do with the environment, as the error is not always there. Only if a certain combination of POST/GET request and or browsers as well as session operations occur.

Whoa there... NEVER assume because someone else does something that it's "okay" or "safe". According to your above checks, I'm allowed to do this:

<B onmouseover="window.close();">something evil</b>

Strip tags does not make a post safe at all... *safer* maybe, but no where near safe.

Really, what's needed is another version of strip tags which allows you to specify allowed attributes per tag:

strip_tags_attr($string, '<B> <P class id style> <A href title> <BR>')

But even that wouldn't prevent people from sneaking javascript (OR OTHER CLIENT SIDE SCRIPTING) into the href attribute.

But, I haven't got enough brains to actually write the extension for PHP, so hopefully someone else will pick it up eventually.

In the meantime, the only solution I can think of is to not allow <b>tags</b>... perhaps allow some other form of [i]tag[/i] tag system which doesn't allow any attributes. Then you can simply strip all tags, and then go onto replacing [b] with <b>, etc etc. It's a lot of work, and you will run into even more work when you choose to allow [a href=""] or other attributes, but it IS safer.

Or, perhaps it's "cheaper" for you to do some preliminary stripping of tags as per your code above, and then have a moderator physically check over the code for hidden "evil".

Hi,

I don't have the answer, but when that happens, the first thing I do is dig around in phpMyAdmin(.org)... it's a web based GUI for MySQL, and most of the time, when you do something (like copy a table), it shows you the query used to do it... then you just need to copy it, and integrate it into your php script.

Failing that, this Q really needs to be asked on the mysql list.

If you have a piece of php code sitting in a file, you can use it anytime by including or requiring it. Say you have a file named add.php and in it you have: --- Top of file --- <?php function add($addend1, $addend2) { return ($addend1 + $addend2); } ?> --- End of file ---

in another file named page calc.php you can do a: --- Top of file --- <?php require 'add.php'; if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { $sum = add($_POST['addend1'],$_POST['addend2']); echo "<br>The sum of {$_POST['addend1']} and {$_POST['addend2']} is $sum<br>\n"; } ?> <form method="post" action="calc.php"> <input type="text" name="addend1" size="10"><br> <input type="text" name="addend2" size="10"><br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add them"> </form> --- End of file ---

Hello,

working by an ISP, I'd like to force my users to use given databases - force the hostname, user, password and database too.

I thought I can do that with defining "sql.safe_mode On" but as it seems now, it is not possible to do this.

Any idea about how to do it?

I have a PHP script that logs someone in then takes them to another page indicating their online status. However, when I try echoing out the contents of the session variable, it says this:

Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\checker\members\index.php on line 38

Here's the code that registers the variable, or is atleast supposed to:

if ($dbconn) { $querystr = "SELECT user FROM users WHERE (user = '" . prepareData($_POST['user']) . "' and pass=PASSWORD('" . prepareData($_POST['pass']) . "'))"; $result = mysql_query($querystr,$dbconn); if ($result) { if ($frow = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { session_start(); session_register('user'); $_SESSION['user'] = $frow[0]; header("Location: index.php?" .

Hi,

I currently have a page divided into three areas, two of which are iframes.

The user selects a component out of part 1, which decides what is shown in part 2. When something is clicked in part 2 the information updates in the second iframe, or part 3. This is all working fine through $PHP_SELF and target.

I am now working in part 3 of my page which has already had variables passed to it from part 2, however when I try to make selections on this page which should update in the same area ($PHP_SELF) I am losing all the variables which were earlier passed. I have tried $REQUEST_URI also which didn't help.

example:

after coming from part 2 $REQUEST_URI might be test.php?var1=a&var5=f&var16=d . If I then select and option on this new form and then send it to itself I lose everything that was originally there (output might then be test.php?newvar=new)

The line which executes my form is (currently) <form name="tick" action="<?php echo $REQUEST_URI; ?>" method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data"> , and as I said $REQUEST_IRI does contain the variables on initial loading. I need to keep these initial variables and add the new (ie test.php?var1=a&var5=f&var16=d&newvar=new)

Please help!

Thanks, Michael.

at a guess would say have some hidden inputs on your form that echo the var's pass from part 2 that way when your form is submitted in part 3 it gets sent along with the new stuff

Sorry, but I forgot to say the variables froming from part 2 to part 3 can be anything between 1 and 30 or any combination thereof. <input type="hidden"> will be no good here as it is too hard to pre-distringuish which variable names will be transferred

But how did you know it was going well *before* you tried it ;-)

Not exactly sure what you mean here but if you're going from page to page you have to pass ALL the variables you need each time.

If you want to pass multiple variables via the URL then do so like:

This money in question has however, been carefully keptin defaced form and deposited with a security company that has branches in Europe and America. You may therefore be required to travel to any of the branches to collect the money on behalf of my client for safe keeping.

It may also interest you to know that she (MRS.

She has decided to offer anybody who will be willing to render this tremendous assistance 20% of the total sum, while 5% shall be set aside for incidental expenses.

Note that this transaction involves no risks whatsoever, as you will have no dealing with my Country, Nigeria. Rather, you will deal directly with the security company, which is based where the money is right now.

Let me have your confidential Tel/Fax Numbers in your response to this proposal.

I shall let you into a complete picture of this mutually beneficial transaction when I have received your anticipated positive reply. This matter should be treated as urgent and confidential. This is very important.

Best Regards,

Barrister George Emeka.

Thanks Ed! Yes, another member here told me to use fread(), which is what your link led to if you're not using the CVS version of PHP. (whatever that is)

I got it working with this:

<? $file = "../header.html"; $fp = fopen($file, "r"); $header = fread($fp, filesize($file)); fclose ($fp);

echo $header;

I'm a Perl guy so I was looking for an easier way. In Perl, all you have to do is open it, dump it to a variable and close it. I thought it would be that easy in PHP too. I guess Perl wins there, but PHP is much better overall so far. ;)

Thanks again!

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 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".

Try this:

$content = implode('', file('../header.html'));

Or if you're running php 4.3.0 or greater:

$content = file_get_contents('../header.html');

Can't get much easier than that :)

-Mark PS: That was in the user contributed notes Ed mentioned :)
