The following script is from Kevin Yank's book on page 59-60. (Sitepoint)

I'd like to get some clarification about the line: (almost next to last line
in the script)

...................
echo("<p><a href='$PHP_SELF?addjoke=1'>Add a Joke!</a></p>");
................

He has a link called "Add a Joke!".

When the user clicks on the link, the same page loads - with the form this
time - and the query string passes the value -1 - to the variable $addjoke.

Am I on the right track?

If so, why does 1 - as opposed to 2 or something else - have to be the
name/value pair if the user is adding another joke?

Thank you.

You've got it right... look at the man page for parse_str() for more info on the QUERY_STRING stuff as well as the register_globals configuration option.

Looking at the script below, there is nothing special about setting $addjoke to 1. It's just important that it is set to *something* (because of the isset($addjoke) call. You could set it to whatever you want, but setting it to 1 is commonly done to indicate "trueness" or "it's on".

You could set it to "yes" if you wanted and the script would work the same.

Hope this helps.

attached mail follows:

Although you don't show it in your snippet of code, the script in question starts with:

if (isset($addjoke)): // If the user wants to add a joke

So all he's doing is setting the variable $addjoke. It could have been set to 2 or something else, although 1 kind of makes more sense because it's associated with "true" (as 0 is associated with "false").

AFAIK, PHP "skips" over anything out side the <? and ?>... so yes, technically, it would be a little faster.

End of the day, such a small gain could probably be made up elsewhere by optimising a function you use on every page, or something else like that.

It's been said on the list many times before: Just do whicher you're more comfortable with, and whichever makes it easier for you to read/write/modify the code.

I tend to run major blocks of straight HTML outside of php, and little bits inside PHP using echo.

Install the php-mysql rpm, restart apache, and they will now exist. (assuming you already installed the mysql rpm) In short, there are three rpms: php, mysql, and php-mysql.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your nice reply. I would like to know what are the applications of XML with PHP. I know how to write and parse XML files but i dont know where can i use this power? Either you or any other member of this group can solve my problem then i would be thankful to him/her.

Again thanks for your positive response.

Hardik, I have created my own XML parser based on the existing php xml functions http://php.net/xml . I've found this is nice but a bit annoying since I have to write everything from scratch. After about a week or two trying to get my parser just right I gave up and used MSXML 4.0 which is a Microsoft COM Object and contains everything you need to created XML Documents, parse them, validate them agaisnt DTD and XSD Schemas, etc... I use php's COM Support http://php.net/com to do this and created a wrapper object around the COM object with php for easy implementation..

Hi, A PHP page (main.php) loads another page (doit.php) via a form. doit.php gets the data via $_POST. Now, from a third page (other.php), I need to load doit.php with other data, but automatically, without a form. How can I redirect to doit.php and send POST data at the same time ? (as if a form was filled) I tried the fsockopen method, described at e.g. http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/12039/fid/51, but it doesn't redirect to a page, it just gets its output. It need something like header("Location: doit.php") with POST data. doit.php can't be modified. I can't use javascript. What is the canonical way to do this in PHP ? ------------------------------------------ Faites un voeu et puis Voila ! www.voila.fr

Hi, I think this has been asked here before and I've looked around the archive but didn't find anything. So I ask again.

Does anyone know if there's a utility/script/program in php that will allow one to parse and/or import iCAL calendar format to database, such as mySQL or PostGreSQL?

Thanks for any info. RDB

attached mail follows:

No kidding. And the very thought that apple in its "intrusion" into the world of UNIX hasn't made a group open-SQL-database-driven web-accessible iCal is kind of unreal. At least make it filemaker pro driven. :-)

Doesn't iCal use the vCalendar vCal format? Kind of like vCards, but to deal with Calendar information.. it should be easy to write something that will parse that..

Perhaps it wasn't too clear. Use 0/1 rather than off/on.

I think your regex needs to look like this (from the manual): $data_str = eregi_replace ("\[([[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/])\]", "<a href=\"\\1\">\\1</a>", $data_str);

The reason you were getting the wrong link was the href= was wrong so the browser just used the page address as the href.

Using a PHP encoder or compiling a binary does not make it more secure than storing the IV and encryption key in plain text in a PHP script. The problem is the fact that the encryption cipher requires the same key for encryption and decryption, this is not a problem in many encryption cases but in cases where you want to be able to encrypt but not decrypt the information on the server public key encryption is the better solution, which unfortunately mcrypt does not support.

Using a compiled/encoded program is just security through obscurity which is an illusion and definitely not something you want to do with credit card numbers.

What in the world are you talking about? Might I suggest:

1. Don't try to assume you know what the problem is unless you do. Just explain what is wrong. It is just confusing otherwise. 2. Ask MySQL questions on MySQL mailing lists.

Well the warning seems quite explicit -- it couldn't find a certain file. Did you check to see that there is such a file? If the file is there then try using the full path to the file instead of a relative path.

Hi,

I have a news site where i want to track how many "visits" or reads each individual news has. I have a main list with all the titles, then clicking on them shows the details of the specific news, only then the counter for that particular news is increased. The problem is, if the user does a refresh while at the details, the counter is increased again. How can i prevent this from happening?

I thought it would be something like a unique counter problem, but its like having a "counter problem" for each news i have. :-P

What would be nice, if it exists, is to check if the user is doing a refresh or coming from somewhere else. If its a refresh, the counter would simply not increase. That would be sufficient to keep the i-want-my-news-to-have-the-higher-number-of-visitors author, from having his way.

Not really that simple.

You can't use the HTTP_REFERER, because it's not set when the user refreshes (at least on my browser, so at best it will be unreliable).

Common ways to prevent such things happening (like voting for a pic or song or poll more than once) are usually done with either:

1. logging IP address', and ignoring two votes within a reasonable period of time from the same address -- this has a high overhead of data, and isn't failsafe, because IP address' are notoriously unreliable.

2. dropping a cookie onto the users computer, basically saying "read this one", so that the vote is only counted if the cookie isn't there... obviously users can choose to block cookies, or delete them, so this isn't reliable either

3. sessions... if you maintain a site-wide session with each of your users (done with either a session id in the url, or with a cookie), you can keep track of which news items have been read on the server side with session variables. again, this isn't 100% reliable, because the user could delete the session cookie or delete the session # from the URL (both making the user appear as a new user)

And that's about it.

So, you've got a choice of three options, none of which are bullet proof at all. I personally like the session one (because all the user knows is that they're in a session, not that each news read is being logged), but you have to understand that you will not get it perfect, ever.

I could write a PHP script, or even a client-side apple script or schedule which access' your URL every 5 mins... no cookies, no sessions, no nothin', and i'd get huge numbers :)

If I was trying for the best possible outcome, I think I'd log an IP address, timestamp and user agent string (even if it's null), but rely on sessions first... Needless to say though if your news is being read a lot, you'll have a lot of data to store, clean out, etc.

attached mail follows:

a real simple thing i do is to increment the counter then use header() to redirect to same page with a variable added. so at the top of details.php i put..

if(!$_GET['no_count']){ ...increment counter header("location:...details.php?no_count=on"); exit; }

of course people can always just manually edit the url in the address bar in which case you could probly use http_referer to check. for my purposes most of the visitors won't edit the url so it's not too important.

I think what you've seen is shtml / ssi / server side includes, but anyway, since you asked:

1. create a .htaccess file which pushes *all* .php pages through PHP

I *THINK* the code is something like:

<Files ~ "\.html$"> ForceType application/x-httpd-php </Files>

But you should check the apache manual, list or some tutorials.

2. change your code to:

<html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> </head> <body> HELLO WORLD!!! <P> <?php include("helloworld2.php"); ?> </body> </html>

Why can't you just use the .php extension?

Hey everyone. I'm wondering if someone could lead me in the right direction on this one. What could I use to see if a site has been updated and then display what has been added to it?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

If you are talking about a remote (out of your control) website then you will need to compare HTML areas but this could be a very hard process unless it is template/cms driven with comments in the html source etc.

I would suggest you maybe tell us what website so we can see what the source looks like.

Are you trying to pull out content bits or just show the areas inside of your website??

On a major level, create or use a large CMS (content management system), and use the information you have in the databases / file system to establish what's new, modified, etc.

On a smaller level, you could check which files have been updated in X days (I think) with PHP, and display them as a list, which some selective listing.

On a pain-in-the-ass level, you could maintain a HTML page with links on it to things you've recently updated, and maintain it manually.

If you're talking about *another site* (not yours), it would be even harder.

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to create a Logout Function and Link. My site uses a standard htaccess file for its authentication method. After the brower requests the username and password they have access to the protected site.

Then users can jump to a special Messaging section where I wrote a php script that retieves the $REMOTE_USER value and checks it against a message database.

My problem is that I'd like to have a logout link that will dump the values the user had entered for their username and password so that they can no longer access the messages, neither with a back button nor just by going back to the site url. But since I am retrieving the $REMOTE_USER value using PHP4, it seems some how it remebers the username and password. Is that because I need to destroy the session and remove or replace the session cookies? I do not know what the session name is, nor how to check it.

Here is what I have tried so far:

function logout() {

session_start(); session_destroy(); setcookie("SES_NAME","","","/"); header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com"); exit; }

My results were that everytime I click the logout link, I can just press back on the browser and go back where I was and continue using the Messaging application.

Thank you for any help you might provide...

Yes, that's because after HTTP authentication, each time the browser requests a page it'll send the user and password as well.

HTTP authentication are not related to sessions.

Have a look in the manual > HTTP authentication with PHP

You probably need to escape certain characters such as space and the single quote.

try to escape blanks and quotes: rename("/tmp/foo\ \'n bar", "/tmp/foobar");

generally you should escape all non-ascii characters in file names.

This is a test script I used as a test (below) and got these errors. (below the script)

The script: <?php #start variables $name = ab; $age = 16; #start script echo "Hi, my name is $name and I'am $age years old."; ?>

The Error: Notice: Use of undefined constant ab - assumed 'ab' in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\sdd\pages\name&age.php on line 3 Hi, my name is ab and I'am 16 years old.

How do I fix this.

There was nothing there that would really help it. Thanks any way
