Please step back, slow down, and write your question
in a short concise format. I have no clue what the

// Try this instead, see also: htmlspecialchars()*
print "<input type='text' name='company' value='{$row['company']}'>";

attached mail follows:

ok let me try this question thing again...

i am having a problem using <input> tags by using current values kept in a
mysql table. how do you get the values out of the table and into a form so
they show as the value= part of the tag?
i tried just aabout everything and it doesnt work even htmlspecialchars()
doesnt work.. all i get for output on the page is the rest of the script
printed on the screen after the value= part of the tag..is there any way to
fix it?

What is it that you're having trouble with? The logic to do what you want? The actual code to load values from a table (a database table I presume)? The correct HTML that you need to have values in a form field? The code to update your database with information from the form?

Perhaps if you got started with working out what you want to do and then ask questions.

Failing that, I'd be happy to write it for you. Of course, I'll charge my normal hourly rate to do so...

Start by making a basic test:

<?PHP $some_string = "some string"; echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"some_string\" value=\"$some_string\" size=20>"; ?>

or you could try this:

<?PHP $some_string = "some string"; ?> <input type="text" name="some_string" value="<?=$some_string?>" size=20>

Either should work.

Rinse and repeat as necessary.

CYA, Dave

attached mail follows:

Are you absolutely sure that the query gives result? Try and add "or die (mysql_error())" behind mysql_connect, mysql_select_db and mysql_query. For the rest, it looks pretty good to me....

Then use an ORDER BY in your query. If you're relying on the database to spit out rows in the order they went in, then you're wrong.

You could create a integer column with an autoincrement flag, then order the rows by this column, that should give you the data in the order it was inserted into the db. Depending on your database there are other ways to do it.

Or add a "insert_date" column of type "timestamp" to the database. This will automatically store the time of insertion. Then use ORDER BY insert_date.

hi sorry to ask so many questions but i have now realised that php3 doesnt handle the callback error handling so i can return the line and file of the error into a function is there a way to emulate this in php3 ?

attached mail follows:

to be a bit less vague , i have a db query wrapper function, and checks for mysql errors if there is one it needs to catch it to a callback function although php3 doesnt handle callback functions so you have to give it the line and file, is there anyway i can try and get away from putting the line and file in the function like this ?

$query = $db->query("select * from artists where artistI=1",__LINE__,__FILE__);

I've read that an include file in each of your pages with the lines below should do the trick for you with register_globals OFF..

Not sure if this is a valid way to go though...

Whoever told you this should be shot as this is an enormous security hole! The above is a security hole much larger than register_globals could ever hope to be. That and it's silly to attempt to mimic register_globals at runtime.

The above is insecure in that it will overwrite web server variables ($_SERVER) with request variables such as those from $_GET. This is TERRIBLE!!! Just imagine this as just an example:

http://www.example.com/a.php?PHP_SELF=http://www.foo.com

In the above scenerio, this would create $PHP_SELF first from $_SERVER then it'd be overwritten by the $_GET and than by the $_REQUEST that had the GET in it. So this makes it inefficient and insecure :) A better example exists but anyway this should show a nice point (like maybe PHP_AUTH_PW or REMOTE_USER).

Anyway, sorry for the rant but it's just that whoever told you that should not tell anyone anything related to this topic.

The best options are: a) rewrite the code or b) set register_globals with .htaccess or php.ini or in virtualhost in httpd.conf

http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php

Now if you must set it at runtime (please do not do this) then you could try this:

// THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED if (!ini_get('register_globals')) { $types_to_register = array('GET','POST','COOKIE', 'SESSION','SERVER'); foreach ($types_to_register as $type) { if (count(${'HTTP_' . $type . '_VARS'}) > 0) { extract(${'HTTP_' . $type . '_VARS'}, EXTR_OVERWRITE); } } } // THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED

Although it doesn't depend on the variables_order directive like register_globals does, it is flexible. Keep in mind that variables are written from first to last so you certainly don't want GET coming after SERVER.

No. But the values found in the global php.ini can be changed in Apache's httpd.conf and in .htaccess files. See <http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php>.

You can have a .htaccess file in every directory to pass additional options to Apache (and mod_php). A .htaccess is used for the directory where it resides and for all subdirectories.

Try "locate .htaccess" or "find / -name .htaccess".

If you're the only person on that machine, there's no point in using safe mode.

Almost all programs have man pages, so you can use "man chmod" to find out about "chmod". And then there's the Linux Documentation Project <http://www.tldp.org/>, which has lots of howtos.

Thank you. Yes, I did chmod my scripts. chmod 754 and tried 755 too. Don't see why it should be x on the world, though. I would think if the script is being called by its owner, then x on the owner and group should be enough, no?

I'm even using !#/usr/bin/php ... but then it doesn't even seem to be using it.

I'll go through the man pages again, too.

The "find" and "locate" commands will be useful. I will try those. Thanks! Although since you mentioned the local configuration via apache's .htaccess, maybe that is what I need. I still can't figure out how to turn safe mode off for the local column.

Thanks,

Nicole

Install GNU sed. The standard Solaris sed can't handle input that long. (I believe it has a character limit of 4096 characters or something to that effect.) GNU's sed doesn't have that limit.

Installing the package from www.sunfreeware.com will put GNU sed in /usr/local. Make sure that make can find the GNU sed before it finds Sun's sed by putting /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in your $PATH.

I built 4.3.0 on Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 8 without trouble. But as another poster suggested, I am using GNU utils (sed, make, etc).

attached mail follows:

I have a PHP script that works on older versions of PHP but on 4.3, it outputs nothing. Here's my code:

<?php echo '<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">'."\n" ."\n".'if (document.location == top.location)'."\n" .' top.location="home.php?goto=' .base64_encode($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]).'";'."\n" .'</SCRIPT>'; ?>

The problem is, when it redirects, the URL variable goto is empty. I'm assuming this has something to do with base64_encode. Since this code snipet is on every page of my site, it'd be a hard hassle to change it so is there a setting in PHP I need to tweak or should I set aside a few hours to edit this code? If the latter, what should I change it to?

What about $_GET['goto']??? Sounds like another register_globals issue. Also, instead of base64 encoding, you may want to use the rawurlencode and rawurldecode functions.

I am displaying a form using values obtained from a database query. One of the elements contains about 20 different values. I want the use to be able to select multiple values before pressing submit.

This seems to work, but when my php script is called, all I see is the last data value assigned to the variable. I could use a pointer.

Here is a code snippet:

echo "<TR>\n"; echo " <TD>Task Description</TD>\n"; echo " <TD><SELECT NAME='in_task_descr' MULTIPLE SIZE=4>\n"; for ($j = 0; $j < $tskcount; $j++) { echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"$taskdescr[$j]\">$taskdescr[$j]</OPTION>\n"; } echo " </SELECT>\n"; echo " </TD>\n"; echo "</TR>\n\n";

The above code adds a list to the form and the user can highlight more than one entry.

How do I access the data after the user presses submit?

Put empty square brackets (NAME='in_task_descr[]') after the name of your select element. Then all the slections will be in an array called...

$_POST['in_task_descr'] or $_GET['in_task_descr']

Depending on your form method.

PHP keeps track of what line# is being executed, so that when there's an error (say in pg_exec() ) it reports what line the error occured on.

This appears to happen even during runtime (not just during compilation).

For example: ------------------------- <? $dbname="mydb"; $dbuser="myuser"; $dbpass="mypw";

$conn=pg_connect("dbname=$dbname, user=$dbuser, password=$dbpass"); $cmd="go and ask the mice"; $result=pg_exec($conn, $cmd); ?> --------------------------

This would result in a pg_exec error ~ line 7. PHP tracks this, even though the error is during runtime, not during the precompile.

Is there a function where I can access this information? Something like "get_line();" or something?

This would be REALLY HANDY for debugging large projects...

Yep, that will do it and has been available in PHP for a very long time (along with __FILE__). PHP 4.3.0 introduces the following:

__FUNCTION__ Function name __CLASS__ Class name debug_backtrace() Debugging information including the line number

In .htaccess: AddType text/plain .php

engine=off returns an apache config error.

If you look at http://www.php.net/echo you'll see that echo does not support this syntax. If you want to use this syntax then you should probably be using some form of printf (see http://www.php.net/printf).

echo takes on commas as we can echo multiple variables which isn't something we can do with print. This is also the main difference between echo and print. So, the commas are okay here but as someone else already stated, echo doesn't behave like printf so no special %formatting% with echo.

I am trying to load a php script to run in the background using the exec() function. My code looks like this:

<? // ....

$aqid = $db->insert_id(); //grab id of newly inserted row $cmd = "php -q sendit.php $aqid >/dev/null 2>&1 &"; exec("$cmd"); // call sendit.php in background // ... ?>

Basically, the point of me doing this is so the script runs in the background so the member does not have to wait for the script to run after they have clicked a send button. But they are still waiting because they can't go to other pages until the script has completed running.

My next alternative will be to run a cron job to do this instead. But I can't get cron working just yet. Any suggestions to get the script to run in background without stalling the script that calls it?

Don't get your question right, but you get all your vars in the querystring after submitting the form. There, you should check on whether or not the var is filled (i.e. $var <> "" or so). There's no other way :-( so your guess is pretty ok.

BTW: use Javascript to modify the submitted values.

}

// Create root element

$this->root_element = $this->xmlDoc->create_element("result");

$this->root_element->set_attribute("query", $this->sqlQuery);

//Get database fields and values

$count = 0;

while($this->fetchRow()) {

$row_element = $this->xmlDoc->create_element("row");

$n_row = $this->root_element->append_child($row_element);

$row_number = $row_element->set_attribute("number" ,$count);

$count++;

// Get fieldnames and values

for($i=0; $i<sizeof($this->sqlQuery); $i++) {

Now all i get is one field <field name="name">whatever</field> in my XML output, but i should get 10 with this particular query.. Any help is appreciated, thanks for you time.

But how do I process this form when saving the settings for the album? For the forms I've built so far, I've known what information I can find in $_REQUEST['']. But this time, I don't know how many checkboxes there are, and what their names will be. How do I do this?

Is the form ok, or is a bad form design the reason I can't figure out what to form processing code should be?

attached mail follows:

howabout making the checkboxes an array i.e. <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" name="checkbox[<?php echo($row[0])?>]" VALUE="YES">

then when processing ... foreach($_REQUEST["checkbox"] as $checkbox) { ... }
