i.e.
// getting the current time in an array
$timeval=localtime();

// we want the time 3 hours in the future
$timeval[2] = $timeval[2]+3;

// calc the new timestamp
$timestamp=mktime ($timeval[2], $timeval[1], $timeval[0], $timeval[4], $timeval[3], i$timeval[5]);

########################

An even better solution, you are talking about a unix-timestamp, right?

just add or subtract the the seconds from the current timestamp,
i.e.

// get the current timestamp
$timestamp=time();

// 1 minute = 60 seconds, 1 hour = 60 minutes, therefore 1 hour = 60*60 = 3600 seconds
// so we add 3600*3 to have the time in 3 hours
$timestamp = $timestamp + (3600*3);

// you can convert this time back to a readable format using strftime

They should show up but still think of the order in which they are loaded. You can access vars which are not yet loaded. Also you can't access variables which are initialized in a function (if they are not global).

Including adds the contents of the files as if it was directly in main.php4, they are not new namespaces

you need to be more clear.

number of characters in the string except space? number of distinct characters in the string except space? include other non-space whitespace (\t \n \r etc)?

case sensitive?

this is really not hard at all and would be educational for you to write yourself, as an exercise in learning php.

one approach:

1. create an empty string, charsfound. for each character in your input string, see if the character already exists in charsfound (use strchr or strpos). if it's a space, continue the loop (don't exec the code below). if it's already there, skip to the next character. if it's not yet there, increment a counter, add the character to charsfound and continue the loop.

at the end of the input string exit the loop. the counter is the number of distinct non-space characters in the input string.

putting the "increment a counter" elsewhere (but in the appropriate places) in the loop will give you the number of non-space (not distinct) characters in the input string.

Using a regular expression to strip out all the spaces before passing to the word counting function seems easiest. You'll be left to adapt it to PHP, but the regexp is: 's/ //g' That removes all spaces. If it gives an error, try s/\ //g to escape the space. Pass the result to whatever you use to count the number of characters.

Hello ppl,

Well, I want to compate date is php, could anybody tell me which is the best way to do so? I have tried various ways but nothing seems consistent. I tried for example: if("2003-1-15" > "2003-1-11") { echo "true";

} which doesn't work in some cases...

Thank you!

Look at PHPs date functions http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php in particular, strtotime() and then compare the timestamps.

Actually the above should work in all cases as you're comparing two strings constants :)

In any case if your dates are in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) then simple comparison using >, <, ==, etc should always work fine.

How I can create a Word document through PHP? Must I modify php.ini?

attached mail follows:

You should be able to create it directly by using the COM functionality. You only have to change php.ini if your COM configuration is not correct.

Take a look at http://ca.php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php for more info.

Incidentally, if you allow me a bit of shameless self-promotion, there was an article on how to do this (and a bit more if you want to get into .NET) in this month's issue of php|architect. The issue is also free to download, so maybe that article would be of help.

You don't specify if you want to read a *particular* line from a file. If so, I think there really is no way short of scanning the file with fgets() or by perhaps using some external utility such as grep or sed.

If you want to read the first line, then you can use fgets() directly on the file.

scanning the file with fgets is very slow. using external tools which are specialized for the task of scanning for lines will generally yield much better results.

if you're on unix, then a combination of head and tail (or just head or tail, if you just want the first or last line of a file) will generally get you any line. e.g., if you want the 5th line of a file, you can say:

cat filename | head -n 5 | tail -n 1

(use popen to start that process running and read its output).

on the other hand, if you don't know just which line number it is you want, then some more complicated method (probably involving grep, as suggested by Marco) will generally get you what you need. if what you need is even more complex than this, then you will probably just have to scan the file with fgets although it might still be possible with a combination of unix command line tools such as head, tail, grep, etc).

if you're on windows and don't have access to those tools, well, you're on your own. you would probably be able to get better performance by writing the program to get the line in C/C++ or some other compiled language and just popen that from php.

Though I agree the reply given was rather crude, and I think also unnecessary, so was you question. It is rather a waste of the time of the list's membership to spend their time doing searches for you to find code packages. It is my impression, at least, that this list exists to provide assistance on a somewhat higher level of issues. Your question was worded in such a way that it wasn't very different from this:

> Hi every one, > I want to create thumbnail of a photo stored in MySQL table online. > > Best Wishes, > S. Naqashzade

And that is not something I care to bother with. I spent the effort of typing "php thumbnail mysql photo" into Google. And as a surprise to some, I had to refine the search once to get that, and what you're looking for you'll sometimes have to scroll down for or *gasp* even head to the next 10 results.

I suggest going to Google's directory: http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/PHP/Scripts/ try doing a search for FAQ. Since I really don't know what it is you want, I can't help much more than that. The basic idea is spend some time searching, look inside of well-known script sites, dig through the search enginges... You might also be able to strip the FAQ section out of PHP Nuke, but that's a confusing mess in its own right. Forgive my bitterness, but Sometimes you end up looking at a question and going "Why am I wasting my time on this? This person expects me to do everything but make their site."

Don't straight-up ask for info on questions that are covered EVERY WEEK, and do look at more than just one site.

And yet you took the time to reply...I searched the archives of this mailing list...

The list is more than just for those that consider themselves gods in the PHP world, it's for people who program in PHP, a bit of a community if you will or at least that was my feeling.

I've been on this list for at least a year, maybe a year and half and it has really degraded and I feel so sorry everytime I see a new user get a nasty reply from people "who can't be bothered" to read their emails looking for help. I also know how to search for things on the web, I was asking fellow PHP users for their opinions on a package they may use. I don't see anything against that in the terms of use for the list.

If there is something you don't like hit the damn delete button, I read maybe 10% of the stuff that comes across this list but I never email telling people they are wasting my time...

attached mail follows:

I'm following various tutorials online that uses the PATH_INFO to do this, however Apache isn't playing nicely. I read a few documents that Apache has a built in look back feature, but a query on google on lead me back to a few articles that I just read so I'm assuming this feature is made up in the article?

I've gotten the .htaccess to run a file as a .php, however I can't attach arguments to the right hand side of the URL. An example would be, I have a file called index.php. I turn this into index and run it as a .php file. It works fine, though I should be able to add /name/1 which shows up under the PATH_INFO variable.

However, I get a blank page and this error logged in Apache:

[Sat Jan 11 10:33:40 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Unable to open c:\apache\www\www.mxportal.com\public_html\dir\resources\d in Unknown on line 0

So it looks like Apache is not reading back to resources, but thinks there is folder called resources and a file called d in which it's trying to open and pass it to PHP.

This however works under *NIX systems. I'm not sure if there's a different of doing it under Windows or if this is a bug in Apache. Any ideas?

As far as I know, this technique doesn't work under windows...

Toying with Apache further, I actually was able to get this to work a few minutes I posted the thread. What I was doing wrong was running PHP as a CGI rather than using it as SAPI module.

Hopefully this helps other folks as I was going nuts going through google.com trying to find a solution.

Add this line to your httpd.conf with the path to php4apache.dll included in the Windows distribution:

LoadModule php4_module C:\apache\php\sapi\php4apache.dll

Then add this line:

AddModule mod_php4.c

Then add the MIME types for PHP:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

Also, you'll need to copy php4ts.dll into your c:\Windows\System32 folder.

After all that, this feature works under Windows whoohoo :)

Check out the Smarty tutorial links page from it's site resources section - http://smarty.php.net/resources.php?category=0

Also the Smarty manual is excellent - very comprehensive and well written. I just about taught myself Smarty using this alone.

I think Smarty is the absolute biz when it comes to php template engines; well worth giving a really good test run.

Im trying to clean up xml data of illegal characters. I need a pointer as to how to get a regex to perform this. Here is my feable attempt ->

<?php

header('Content-type: text/plain');

$foo = '<title>It\'s a test</title>';

//$bar = preg_replace('/[^\w\s<>\/]+/', ''', $foo); $bar = preg_replace('/(<title>)([\'])(<\/title>)/', '$1' . ''' . '$3', $foo);

echo $bar;

Im trying the 2nd way, because I want to only do this clean up between certain tags.. Thanks for any help you may provide.

You should probably mention that this is called WebFolders in M$-speak and it actually works quite well when combined with the mod_dav and mod_digest Apache modules.

In a webDAV enabled directory, its like an ordinary directory from your webserver but read/write, with file locking. Any authorisation your webserver supports may be used.

Nothing to do with PHP though.

It includes the latest CVS build of ZendEngine 2.0 - AFAIK it hasn't even reached beta status yet, so don't even think about using it for production work. That said, I didn't have any problems building it and it seems pretty stable.

If you're using a relatively recent version of PHP, you should use $_SESSION.

register_globals cannot be set at runtime (to be precise, it can be set but it has no effect). If it works for you, you should report it as a bug!

I have a database that was created on an earlier version of PostgreSQL and uses global variables with register_globals = on for php4. I have migrated the database to postgresql-7.3.1 with mod_php-4.2.3 and have set the register_globals to on. In order to use the default setting of register_globals = off, I need to reprogram my php files. I would appreciate some suggestions on how to go about modifying the code. Is there a script that could be run on each file to convert to the superglobals that would work with the register_globals off? I also need to know the exact syntax: for example, one current line is -

include "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/../lib/somefile.conf";

Someone did suggest the following:

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../lib/somefile.conf';

however, there is a difference in the use of the quotation marks and I do not understand the use of the . and ..

Could someone explain, please?

If only it was that easy ;)

The best thing to do is crank up error reporting to maximum (errors AND notices). You should see a lot of undefined or uninitialized variables notices/warnings. Find out where those variables are coming from (GET, POST or whatever) and change them appropriately. Eg you have a form with method=POST and a single text element called 'name'. Instead of using just $name in your code you need to use $_POST['name'].

It used to be that $DOCUMENT_ROOT was a predefined variable in the global scope. Thus you could use it directly in a string like in your first statement. Now DOCUMENT_ROOT can only be obtained from the $_SERVER array.

Between strings and variables the period (.) acts as a concatenation operator. The second statement can be reformatted to make it clearer:

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/../lib/somefile.conf';

Hopefully you can clearly see that the left side is equivalent to $DOCUMENT_ROOT and the right side is just a string. The '..' in the string on the right has nothing to with PHP, it's just the standard way to denote the parent directory.

Single-quoted strings are literal strings, double-quoted strings does variable expansion.

The second statement can also be rewritten as:

"{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/../lib/somefile.conf";

That should be: "If only it were that easy" - subjunctive, :)) sorry, it's my English studies that keep coming back at me....

Thanks, Jason. This helps somewhat.

Most of the variables should be fairly obvious, I should think. So, it should not be too difficult to do some search & replace of stuff like the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] stuff. I suppose I could then try to run the stuff with error reporting maxed out. Does that seem about right or should I start with the error reports and go at it one by one. Being terribly lazy, I suppose makes me want to find shortcuts. I understand laziness is also a sign of genius... :))

You have started a new thread by taking an existing posting and replying to it while you changed the subject.

That is bad, because it breaks threading. Whenever you reply to a message, your mail client generates a "References:" header that tells all recipients which posting(s) your posting refers to. A mail client uses this information to build a threaded view ("tree view") of the postings.

With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature; your posting shows up within an existing thread it has nothing to do with.

Always do a fresh post when you want to start a new thread. To achieve this, click on "New message" instead of "Reply" within your mail client, and enter the list address as the recipient. You can save the list address in your address book for convenience.

i have a database with unix path names of mp3s like:

which have to keep the spaces for part of another application. If i let the shell escape them from an ls command, i can get:

Patti\ Smith/Horses\ \[1975\]/01-Gloria.mp3

but fopen will still refuse saying file not found. I have tried escaped and unescaped amnd yes, I am very sure the file is there.

How can I get fopen to accept a path like this?
