Hi,

If someone out there has an .dll file for the Advanced PHP Debugger
(APD) extension to run i Windows 2000 (PHP version 4.2.2) I would be
glad if you could send it to me. I have tried to compile one myself but
has failed each and every time :(

Fredrik Johansson

So add some more tags!! Geeeez! Which would you prefer? Pretty colours
and bold text, or a page full of unclosed tags, evil javascripts, and other
harmfull markup?

Let me know where your message board / guestbook's are on the web, and i'll
wrap a

tag around my whole post... as soon as someone mouses over my guestbook
post, the window will close down :)

Personally, I'd call it bad programming practice to do a database update
and not check to see if it worked or not. In this case, how are you
determining that the query did not work? Are you manually checking the
database? You don't have anything in your code to check the status of
this query.

Perhaps this might get you somewhere:

$qid = mysql_query("UPDATE d SET h = '$h' WHERE id = '$id'");

if (isset($qid) && mysql_affected_rows() == 1)
{
echo "query executed";
} else {
echo "query failed: " . mysql_error();
}

At least this way you might get some indication of where the problem is.

CYA, Dave

That happens if you have mismatched braces {} or if(): endif; etc

attached mail follows:

When you get an error that points to </HTML>, it means you did not close a {} or ""

In this case, you did not close the: if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

Although you did close the "while do {}" immediately thereafter.

I have a fresh install of PHP on a Win2k server. It is installed along with MySQL to allow me to run and XMB message base on my website.

Everything works great except for the fact that I never receive any email notification when someone replies to a message I (or anyone else) posts. I think the problem is that I don't have the email part of PHP configured correctly.

I used the php.ini-recommended file to set it up. In the mail section it says:

SMTP=localhost

There is a mail server on the local host.

Do I have to install a sendmail app to get this working correctly?

Nothing shows up in the event logs.

One more question, when I make a change to that ini file, do I have to reboot the machine or just restart IIS? ================================ Rad Craig ================================ Rad Craig

change that line to your ISPs email server. OR install a email server locally

I run ArgoSoft's mail server which has worked great. I use SMTP authentication, could that be the problem?

Is there a way to setup the info for SMTP authentication in PHP so it can pass it to the mail server during it's sendmail type functions?

No, PHP mail() function does not support authentication. You may want to try this class that comes with a wrapper function named smtp_mail() that emulates the mail() function by sending the message via SMTP. It les you configure the authentication credentials among other things that the mail() function does not support:

http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage

To send via SMTP you also need this:

http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass

It's difficult to answer this question without knowing more about the context and the way you have your database laid out.

In any event, sorting stuff and getting removing duplicates is probably better achieved in your mysql query than in php.

Something like this would get you close (you'll have to figure it out for your database as you didn't give much to go on)...

SELECT cityid, DISTINCE(cityname) FROM my_table WHERE some = 'condition' ORDER BY cityname

Basically, use DISTINCT() to remove duplicates and use ORDER BY to set the display order.

I want to make a function that passes all the variables in a form to the next form since the form has multiple steps. I thought about putting all the contents in an array but I'd have to name out each array which would take a while and then there's the global inside the function, but again, I'd have to list all of them out. Any other quick and simple way?

Use sessions, you can save the result of the previous form in a server-side variable, and it will still be there even if the user has a modem disconnect.

I want to make a function that passes all the variables in a form to the
next form since the form has multiple steps. I thought about putting all the
contents in an array but I'd have to name out each array which would take a
while and then there's the global inside the function, but again, I'd have
to list all of them out. Any other quick and simple way?

This might help... Put this at the top of each page:

reset ($_POST); while (list ($key, $val) = each ($_POST)) { //echo "$key => $val<br>\n"; $$key = $val; }

You could do the same for $_GET if you need to as well.

Hi all,

I have an issue I'm hoping there's a simple answer for (I'm betting there is):

I have a dynamic page where the user may click on a link - this link processes their data and shows them a "result" page...

Then I want a variable (for a manual hypertext link) that contains the original URL they were viewing. The problem is, the original page / URL needs a query string (i.e. "?key1=val1&key2=val2&key3=val3...").

So I have to somehow pass their original query string THROUGH the "result page" via a GET, and without using a <form> (using a POST form I could do it)... I've looked at manually copying and "forwarding" each original variable by including it in the URL for the "result page"; but I was hoping for something more elegant and flexible...

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks a bunch in advance! Take care,

--Noel

get your entire query string (eg key1=val1&key2=val2&key3=val3), base64encode() it, pass it through to the next page via get as a var (eg href="page.php?ref=<?=base64encode($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"])?>">, the base64decode() it on the next page... I use this HEAPS.

Use get_class($this)

or, is_a() to include descendants (PHP 4.2.0+ I think)

function Go() { if (!isset($this)) { echo 'Called Statically<br />'; } if (is_a($this,'a')) { echo 'Called Dynamically<br />'; } else { echo 'Called Statically<br />'; } }

Incidentally, this ability to call other methods and operate on your own variables is in my opinion the greatest feature of PHP along with aggregation. It allows dynamic (runtime!) multiple inheritance, which is essential for the new version of a complex data-access project I'm working on constantly (http://calendar.chiaraquartet.net)

Can anyone who's familiar with both give an honest, open evaluation? I'm in a rush project and need something quickly (have to purchase tomorrow), but I'm on the fence when it comes to these two products.

Zend costs $100 less than Phped, so I'm leaning that way. But if there's anything you know that could make my decision easier, please forward it on. They seem pretty comparable, with the exception of PhpEd's db browser.

Thanks!

I personally recommend the Zend IDE, simply because:

1) Its (more) cross platform 2) A more complete autocompletion. Uses javadoc style documentation to generate function prototypes for which you can then use autocompletion. It also resolves classes and objects. 3) Richer debugger 4) Better integration with other Zend products, if you want to use the encoder, it plugs right into the Zend IDE. 5) I like working with it more, and that's what it all comes down too. The Zend IDE is what I'm more comfortable with (outside of vim and emacs, which I must admit are my primary development tools).

Sterling,

Thanks for the reply. I'm also impressed with Zend's autocompletion...I can't even get PHPEd to autocomplete on objects.

I wonder if Zend uses dbg as well. It'd be nice to see a profiler thrown into a future version.

Finally, one frustrating thing on the part of both editors is the inability to autocomplete on arrays of object references...but I suppose that's a little difficult with a dynamically typed language.

Thanks!

... have u seen phpEdit? It's for free, has perfect autocompletion, project manager, editable templates and many other features. AFAIK it has no db browser, but has good developer community around ... http://www.phpedit.net

Hello, I want to emulate a POST request to Paypal. Originally a POST request is sent from the user (through a form) and the user is redirected to paypal's site. Now, what I want to do is to emulate a POST request (so that the surfer can't see some of the hidden fields of the form) and to deter tampering. (If they could see all the fields, they could just create their own form , and just change the amount).

Possible solution: fsockopen to emulate POST, but that doesn;t redirect the user, using header will direct the user to the paypal site, but then I have to use a GET request and then once again variables are visible and modifiable.

Desired solution: a PHP script (toPaypal.php, say) that is called when a surfer wants to buy something for a product for $5 , say. The Product form will direct to the toPaypal.php script that creates a POST request and sends the request and the surefer to Paypal.

Any ideas? or did I just make this confusing? One solution I guess is to just double check the total amount credited to the merchant account matches the product. But then I ask this question out of curosity.

If you're using linux or similar you can append an ampersand (&) to your command to make it run in the background:

system('mycommand &');

PHP is server-side. You can't do anything to the client besides give them data. This may be possible with javascript (I don't think so, though), but not with PHP.

The php printer commands can only control printers attached to the webserver.

If you want finer control over the printed output than what HTML can provide, then you can consider creating a PDF file instead.
