Hi,

> I originally had a link #1, #2, and #3. I obviously deleted them.

numbers to re-assign so that the first link

Thanks in advance,
Roger

PS
The original script was not mine, it came from a 'php how to' article at
web monkey, I did some modifications to fit what I needed. We don't
want anyone thinking that I'm taking credit for their knowledge ;-)

(apologies for previous incomplete message - pressed Ctrl+Enter by mistake :-)

If these are the primary keys in your database, you can reset the auto_increment with this query:

ALTER TABLE tablename AUTO_INCREMENT = 1;

Or set it to whatever you like:

ALTER TABLE tablename AUTO_INCREMENT = 23;

Cheers Jon

Keep your own count variable when you output your links, don't rely on the auto_increment column in your database. The auto_increment number is only there as a unique identifier for each row, not to keep count for you. If you have problems with gaps in your auto_increment column then the script is not written correctly.

Hi all,

I've been playing with this for a few hours now (over the course of a couple of days) and it's getting frustrating!

All I want to do is to be able to make one row in the database set the order that my categories appear on my website. Now I can do this fine simply by using ORDER_BY but I want to have my users be able to update the order through an admin page like so:

------------------------------------- Catid | catname | catdesc | catorder | 1 name desc 1 2 name desc 2 3 name desc 3 4 name desc 4 ______________________________________

Basically I have a form which takes data from the table above and displays catname (just echoed) and catorder in a text form field. When I submit the form I want to update catorder with whatever number the user puts in the field.

Currently my code updates only one of the category order numbers. So my form code:

<form action="eshop_processcatorder.php" method="post"> </td></tr> <? while ($array = mysql_fetch_array($mysql)) { echo "<tr><td width='150'><span class='adminisoleipa'>"; echo "{$array["catname"]}"; echo "</td><td><input type='text' size='2' name='catorder[{$array["catid"]}]' value='{$array["catorder"]}'>"; echo "</span></td></tr>"; } ?> <tr><td><br> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" class="nappi"> </form>

That does everything I need it to do.

However what am I doing wrong when I try to process it using this code?

foreach($_POST["catorder"] as $catid => $catorder) { $query = "update categories set catorder=$catorder where catid=$catid"; } $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failure: " .mysql_error()); if (!$result) { echo "<table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' align='center' bgcolor='#629D39'>"; echo "<tr><td><img src='images/admin_orders_administrate.gif'></td></tr>"; echo "<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>"; echo "<tr><td><span class='adminisoleipa'>Could not change details: please <a href='mailto:stephen.jacksonviolasystems.com'>click here</a> to email the administrator<br><br></span>"; echo "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; echo "</table>"; } else { echo "<table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' align='center' bgcolor='#629D39'>"; echo "<tr><td><img src='images/admin_orders_administrate.gif'></td></tr>"; echo "<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>"; echo "<tr><td><span class='adminisoleipa'>The category page has had the order in which categories appear changed.<br><br></span>"; echo "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; echo "</table>"; }

Any help appraciated. Kind regards,

your query needs to be inside the foreach loop so that it runs for every item, at the moment it just runs after you've scanned through all the items so just does the last one.

I'm processing on a different page so what would I use instead of $_POST? print_r($_POST) Didn't display anything or diagnose anything.

Either your users plan to run major, major processes or your server is an old 486 with 16M of slow RAM... 50 users isn't a problem.

If your users have real accounts, let them change their own passwords and then deal with them using the server. If they don't have real accounts, then maintain your own password list or whatever authentication you wish within apache. If you're executing system programs on their behalf, set up your web server to run subprocesses as the user rather than all as the apache user -- and then one of those subprocesses could be 'passwd'.

The reason you could do it in a control panel is that the panel process is running with special privs -- perhaps even in a separate httpd that is running as root. The way it's set up on my server is that httpd runs on port 80 and admind runs on port 88, and admind is allowed to do certain things as root *and* requires authentication before you can even get the first page of data out of it.

Ah; you're waiting for the browser to send rather than for the server to send.

I'm no expert, but I don't think there's a way to do this directly. Ideas that occur to me:

- It wouldn't work for everyone since some (such as I :-) have javascript turned off, but you could first change the page on the click and then actually submit the form and start the upload.

- You might send the just file name to upload back, get a new page containing the "please wait", and let that page request the file by name. This doesn't sound great; if you can do that, what's to keep you from getting any file you want from a surfer's computer? Maybe you can, but I'd be moderately surprised, which means I'd be moderately surprised if this approach works -- but it's worth evaluating.

I would like to make use of the function ftp_ssl_connect. Can anyone tell me an appropriate server for this function?

WU-FTP with ssl-support does not exist anymore (I read); the openssl.9.6.g port 22 (of the default config) does not seem to work.

Which server-deamon is the right one? Or must I use "cURL" ??

You can't. There is no way to log out of http authentication other then closing the browser.

Probably because there is no session. It sounds like you are talking about HTTP basic authentication. This form of authentication requires the browser to authenticate itself with every single request. Thus, there is no idea of being "logged in", because this does not require any state management.

However, browsers will try to be helpful and re-send the same authentication credentials, so that you don't get prompted every time for a username and password. This is what makes it seem as if you are logged in.

Some people do things such as change the realm whenever they want to make it seem as if the user is logged out. You will only be able to do this type of thing with PHP (as opposed to letting your Web server handle it). I think the user notes on HTTP authentication have many suggestions that might help you out:

Well, I think (I could be wrong) you're looking at this wrong.

Forms submit to resources identified by URLs. You specify this with the action attribute of the form tag. There is no idea of frames here.

If you mean that the resource that your iframe loads does not have access to the form variables, then change your action attribute to that resource, and then it will.

not directly ..

the form does not 'contain' the iframe - in fact the iframe is a different page ...

so form elements within the iframe page will not be a part of the form submission process

you /might/ be able to do something with javascript inter-frame communication - but I doubt you would want to (and the iframe doesn't sound like a valid page which could cause problems)

what would probably make more sense would be to make the 'html' page include iframetest.php'

html.php ----------

<html> <form action="test.php" method="post"> <input type="text" name="test1">

<?php include("/path/iframetest.php"); ?>

<input type="button" label="Submit"> </form> </html>

-----------------

then you form elements will be properly contained within the form

If you set a hidden form element in iframetest.php, does it show up when you do a print_r($_POST) in test.php ?

It's probably an HTML thing. I don't know how iframes are interpreted, but it's probably not really a part of your form, even though it looks like it is when you view it.

The contents of an IFRAME, by definition, is a totally different document. It behaves for all intents and purposes as a normal frame except that it appears inline. You may or may not be able to access the contents via the DOM of the document it is part of - I've never tried. But in any case, it will not be posted as part of the form.

in that case you either need to try getting some javascript to pass the info between frames - or see if there is some style sheet wizadry (fixed size divs, visible area, clipping ...???) that will produce the same effect on an acceptable proportion of browsers

Hi Greg,

So stick an image of the button outside the <iframe>, wrap it in an <a>, and use the onclick handler to call a javascript function that submits the form. Of course, this will break for anyone who doesn't have javascript enabled (some estimates put this as high as 20%, but it depends on your audience).

Alternatively, put your form inside a <div> with a fixed height and width, and the overflow property set to "scroll" or "auto". This should behave in much the same way as your <iframe>, but with everything on the same page. Again, this will break for some users (those whose browsers *cough*NN4*cough* don't support fixed positioning and overflow), but at least it degrades more gracefully than the scripted solution.

Thirdly, if you provide a link to a sample page, someone might be able to come up with a way to rework your form so you can avoid all this entirely :-)

Hi,

I've managed to get Windows IE to pick up on most of my $_SESSION variables once a user clicks the 'Back' button using the following code in the base form:

'value=<?php if(!empty($_SESSION['rfname'])) echo $_SESSION['rfname']; ?>'

However, when I try this approach for a muliple SELECT dropdown box that is loaded by a 'require' statement, it doesn't pass the info. I've tried to isolate the individual components:

<?php require("dobdod.fdd");

if(!empty($_PST['bday'])) echo $_POST['bday']; if(!empty($_POST['bmonth'])) echo $_POST['bmonth']; if(!empty($_POST['birth'])) echo $_POST['birth'];

if(!empty($_POST['dday'])) echo $_POST['dday']; if(!empty($_POST['dmonth'])) echo $_POST['dmonth']; if(!empty($_POST['death'])) echo $_POST['death']; ?>

Btw, the base form calls another form, which displays an error message. Once the 'Back' button is clicked, the base form reappears. [I've also tried putting a <?php . . . ?> around each if(!empty . . .); statement above with same result.]

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've been at this one for a couple of weeks, and nothing seems top work. Is it possible to pass the info back to the base form?

Tia, Andre

SELECT boxes work differently from text boxes. To set a select box to a certain value, you need to put SELECTED into the option tag, like:

<option value="some_value" SELECTED>Text Value</option>

So, you need to create some loop or test to see where you should put the SELECTED. For short lists, doing something like:

<option value="some_value" <? if(isset($_SESSION['select']) && $_SESSION['select'] == 'some_value') { echo " SELECTED"; }?>>Text Value</option>

For larger lists, it's easier to put the values into an array and make a function that loops through and test each value for where to put the SELECTED text.

Hope that helps.

Thanks John,

Great to get your excellent advice again. I've been off-list for a few months.

Never thought of doing the extra coding IN the require file! That's probably why it didn't work.

I tried to pick up the values from $_POST (as above). In Linux, it works: (i.e. I can pick them up, display them, and manipulate them using the code above), but in IE something like $_POST['bday'] never shows up. Any idea why there's such a difference between OS behavior?

No. $_POST['bday'] should always show up, regardless of OS, if the scripts and PHP version are the same. Double check your logic.

One more question, do you know how PHP implements this variable? In other words, how does PHP detect whether the connection is SSLed or not? (Specific to apache)

I stumbled into this one a short while ago myself. It is not a bug, but a feature! ;) When passing values of 08 or 09 (Aug and Sep), PHP interprets them as octal numbers (because of the leading 0). However, 08 and 09 are invalid octal numbers, so PHP converts them to zero.

The fixes are numerous: - remove the leading zero; - add zero to them before passing (addition forces a type conversion to int); - force a type conversion to integer using (int); - quote them (when PHP converts a string to an integer, it removes the leading zero);

I guess you mean:

if ($month == '01')

If so, this is not a bug. Otherwise, please explain what you think is wrong.

Scott,

Because "8" != 8. "8" (and "08") is a string with the numerals representing the number eight. It is not the number eight. (think back to basic math, the difference between a number and a numeral)

PHP does some conversions for you automatically but that just saves you from yourself. (Personally, I wish it wouldn't. People have more trouble *because* of the automatic conversions than they would if they had to do the converting themselves.)

To keep from running into this simply do the conversions yourself before you do comparisons.

intval("08")==8

They're just different types. Normally PHP is veeery flexible with types, like javascript, but it just can't be flexible for you here because it needs to choose the most logic to the entire pool of programmers, and then "08" = a string 8 = a decimal integer 08 = by definition an impossible octal integer, so 0.

Since you cannot tell PHP that $var is of a certain type like in [other] programming languages, for example you want it to be treated as an integer, PHP will handle it as what seems to be the most logic.

You can try to use intval (does not alter a variable, only the value as it is used in a calculation or an if() statement) or settype (alters the variable).

I do know that integer, string, double, float, etc.... are different.. I have been using hte appropriate method like in javascript and c programming, like converting it to integer and so on.... But when I start using PHP, I find no such document of it and I have been using it for 3 years without a problem. I asked people is there such a thing as converting it by using the function and they told me there is no such a thing and that it is done automatically... Now my time is a little bit wasted. So, I will correct the problem with the php script...

I recently looked up on the manual as Jason Wong instructed me to. I havne't found the answer since the document is a little bit mixed up.

Okay, I'm going back to my old way as I did in javascript and c programming. So for php, it would be

floatval() for float... strval() for string.... settype() for whatever...... intval() for integer....

Um, what about double???

Actually, "08" is equal to 8 in PHP. PHP will convert the string to an integer and the two will compare as equal.

Someone already posted why the problem was happening, because the numbers were being converted to invalid octal numbers and being set to zero.

Run this bit of code for an example:

echo "<br>" . ((01 == 1) ? "Match" : "No Match"); echo "<br>" . ((02 == 2) ? "Match" : "No Match"); echo "<br>" . ((03 == 3) ? "Match" : "No Match"); echo "<br>" . ((04 == 4) ? "Match" : "No Match"); echo "<br>" . ((05 == 5) ? "Match" : "No Match"); echo "<br>" . ((06 == 6) ? "Match" : "No Match"); echo "<br>" . ((07 == 7) ? "Match" : "No Match"); echo "<br>" . ((08 == 8) ? "Match" : "No Match"); echo "<br>" . ((09 == 9) ? "Match" : "No Match");

The last two won't match because 08 and 09 are invalid octal numbers, like Kirk Johnson already said.

So "08" != 08 and 8 != 08, for example.

Even doing a type cast won't make a difference for the original problem. Even if you cast "08" to an integer and compare it to 08 (invalid octal number), it'll still fail.

The original solution was the best, remove the leading zero from the comparisons and let PHP handle the type casting.

No they are not equal. Yes, PHP will do the conversion so that they are equal. That does not refute the fact that logically '08' != 8.

I understand the problem at hand. (and did when I posted) However, if Scott had been doing the conversions manually, he would never have run across this problem. It is a bad idea to rely on the language (whatever the language) to do automatic variable conversions.

Yea, it's too bad that not many people know about it. I first asked and they told me it is done automatically. That was 3 years ago. I never had a problem for 3 years until now. So, I'm going back to the old way as I did in Javascript and C programming. I first started PHP 3 years ago, so it's no wonder why there's all the confusion when I was just an innocent victim. :-)

Double and Float are not exactly the same thing.

Double is ---> 11.123 Float is ------> .00238823993

Another workaround to this problem is as an addition to Kirk Johnson's suggestion....

--clip-- $month = "08"; if (trim($month) == 8) { echo "You got it!!!"; } --clip-- "Scott Fletcher" <scottabcoa.com> wrote in message news:20030127212734.83374.qmailpb1.pair.com... > Aw nut!!!

Hey all,

Does any body know of anything similar to phpMyAdmin for MS SQL? I have been doing some googling and haven't come across anything that would help me out. I have also checked out www.sourceforge.net and can't seem to come across anything either. I am looking for something that will be easy enough for my client to utilize to update/manipulate a database, rather than having me re-create the wheel so-to-speak.

Warning: stat failed for c://templates/resp_rep_efetiva_contrato.php (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in line 27
