Hey James,
Thanks for replying.

Yes, as far as what I have read/researched on the net what you say is
totally true but it does not answer my question of if you know of any script
preferably free that is good and I can use...

For one, you are naming all of your file inputs the same thing so you will
only get one no matter what. Second, $_FILES['userFile'] will be an array
containing information about the uploaded file such as its temp location and
its size. The array will always have 4 or 5 elements. Try reading the
documentation on file uploads.

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

I think if you change the names on your inputs count($_FILE) will accomplish
what you want (unless you name them 'userfile[]').

Just because it's bundled doesn't mean it's automatically compiled. Heck, php
is bundled with loads of libraries, but most of them has to be specifically
enabled.

Is what is XSLT processed by on the server side?

attached mail follows:

The great thing about server side XSLT transformations is the XSL parts must
be totally w3 compliant but that does not mean to say the entire template
does, only that which you parse through the processor. In answer to your
questions:

1)The browser will read HTML/XHTML and will act as all other browsers do.
XHTML is just a more "strict" version of HTML.

2)Your application generates XML, which as you said has nodes with data.
Before you send that to the browser you send your "xml" to a server side
XSLT processor, Sablot or Saxon or something. At the same time you also pass
an XSL style sheet to the processor. It takes the XSL and XML and uses them
to build a dynamic page.

Now, the xsl stuff consists 3 parts:
xslt: transforms xml docs
xpath: defined parts of an xml document
xsl formatting: formatting xml documents

When you combine these with your web language such as html or wml you can
build a "stylesheet" which can dynmically transform dynamic xml data into
viewable pages.

You can look at flash as a version of XSL if you want to, it simply
transforms XML into readable data

3) Browsers are always going to be rewritten but they dont need to do
anything to cope with this type of thing

4) A browser can read raw xml as its just a text document, to make anything
meaningful you have to use other stuff!

XSL transformation wich are performed at the server, you client gets
html... Have a look at the PHP functions for doing this:

I hope this helps:-)

I've seen only one reply to the original message, so here's my 2c worth

I use OO to prevent too many global variables floating around the place. In
this company, there's 1,000's of globals, and very often they interfere with
each other. I am (with the help with someone else) trying to move all the
core code to use OO so we don't have this problem.

I think that there's a place for both styles. Self-contained functions can
stay by themselves, functions that interact with each other naturally lend
themselves to objects...

Personally,
I hope PHP continues to develop its OOP flavorings. Having been in a
company that uses an Object-Oriented paradigm "correctly", that is to say,
professionally, thought-out-in-advance, I have for the first time in eight
years of trying to study and use OOP seen just how much sense it makes!
Procedural coding is useful, especially for those who need to be able to
code "on-the-fly", and for me, learning PHP, it was the only way for me to
go, even though I was tempted to use PHP's OO capabilities. But I just
can't help but think that, tackling a huge project, OOP just makes things
work right more often the first time, even if it forces you to do a lot more
thinking in advance.

I don't know if anyone else agrees, but if the PHP developers are
interested where PHP 5 might go, my hope is that it will allow for more of
the OOP support.

Hi...

We're in need of a sophisticated,robust,secure regiatration/login
script/application for a site we're starting to develop. It occurs to us
that there should be an Open Source solution to this given that there have
been plenty of solutions for this and a lot of companies have gone up in
flames!! Hopefully, one of the flamed out companies will have left there
code for the rest of us.....

Be that as it may. We're looking for something that's perl/php/mysql running
on a Linux platform...

Perhaps if you could list the ones you've looked at along with a short comment
(whether you liked it or not, if not why not etc). Then others will
(hopefully) chime in and make their suggestions based on your likes/dislikes.

Honestly, with your requirements, you need to write one yourself or hire
someone. You're not going to be satisified with what's already written
because either it'll be too basic, or too bundled with other stuff you do
not need.

The directories in the path leading up to the directory in which you wish to
write/create file must have the executable bit set (this allows cd (change
dir) into it).

Thus /home and /home/john needs to have either g+x OR o+x (depending on the
user running the script).

With bash one can redirect the 'standard error' (ie error messages) to some
other place. Thus you can use something like:

ifconfig eth7 2> /dev/null

[resend: I don't think this worked from webmail, trying from K-Mail]

Hello,
I'm attempting to see if $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] includes part of a url.
Here's an example with the real URL of my script removed:

<pre>
if ($_POST["posted"]){
// If so, echo the following
echo "<h1>* $slapper slaps $slapee with a $size $mode</h1><br>";
echo "You can link to this file with " . "<a href=\"$link\">this link</a>";
}
elseif ($_POST != posted){
// Wasn't working before, let's see if this does it
echo "";
}
elseif ($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ==
"http://myurl.com/my/path/myscript.php?thepartiwanttotestfor=";){
// Check and see if someone did a direct request
echo "<h1>* $slapper slaps $slapee with a $size $mode</h1><br>";
echo "You can link to this file with " . "<a href=\"$link\">this link</a>";
}
else {
// If not, echo nothing
echo "";
}

It works okay when someone uses the form below all this code, but when
someone uses the link
(myscript.com/my/path/myscript.php?slapper=whatever&slapee=whatever&size=whatever&mode=whatever)
it doesn't see $_POST includes posted (which is an input type=hidden
thing in the form) so it displays nothing.

So my question is, is there any way I can look for part of a string, or
do an approximate comparison?

Thanks :)

Use $_REQUEST['posted'] instead of $_POST['posted'] and add the "posted"
variable to your URL.

myscript.com/my/path/myscript.php?slapper=whatever&slapee=whatever&size=
whatever&mode=whatever&posted=something

$_REQUEST contains GET, POST, and COOKIE data, so using a form or URL
with "posted" in it will create that variable within $_REQUEST.

Use strpos() for this.

You probably need to tell it where pgsql is, something like this:

--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql

That will return the document root for the site and not necessarily the
location of the script if the script is running in a subdirectory, or at
least that is what it is supposed to return, I guess if your server is
misconfigured it might return something else.

When in doubt create a file with a call to phpinfo() and see what is in your
env vars.
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] has filename of the script and path relative to the
document root, that might be what you want.
You can read about the values of predefined variables here
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php, but the best way to
become familiar with what is available on your server is to look at
phpinfo()'s output.

You can search the archives, because I know file uploading has been

an example of a form and of a form action.

Make sure you are using the "temporary" filename, and not the "original"
one.

$_FILES['test']['name'] will be something like "MyFile.doc"
while $_FILES['test']['tmp_name'] will be "/temp/4534gefdg345.tmp"

The second one is the one you want to use on the server.

Try something like
    $pdf = $_FILES['pdffile']['tmp_name'];
    $pdf_filename = $_FILES['pdffile']['name'];
    move_uploaded_file($pdf, "$absbath/$pdf_filename");

Nu-uh.

This topic is discussed repeatedly on the list, and worse still, there's a
perfectly good working example of file uploads in the manual which tells you
nearly everything you could possibly need to know.

You can use header() to redirect back to the form page after your
processing, so long as there's no output. This is actually the best
method to use, as a refresh of the form will not resubmit your data.
You'll be saving yourself from that headache later on. :)

Or you could just create one page like this:

if (isset($_POST['submit])) {
// Handle the form.
}
// Display the form.

It will automatically handle the submitted form and then redisplay it.

Just be aware that with this method, you run into the refresh problem.
People hitting refresh will cause the form to be submitted again or
they'll be asked it they want to submit it again. You can use this
method and actually redirect back to the same page, thus clearing the
POST/GET variables, so the refresh just refreshes the form page...

Is there an easy way to list the declared variables in a PHP file?

I am trying to use the GeoIP PHP script (http://www.maxmind.com) on an
existing PHP page. I can use the PHP script on any new pages I create but
my existing pages cause the GeoIP include to fail to return any results.

I am guessing I have some sort of conflict where I am resetting a variable
that GeoIP uses. I just want to quickly compare the defined variables on
the GeoIP include with the ones in my existing PHP file with out hunting
line by line.

Thanks,

Dan

Unless you are using a very old version of PHP, you can try with:

print_r($GLOBALS);

I'm just pulling this out of my butt, but you should be able to do this:

<?
$thisArray = get_defined_vars();
foreach ($thisArray as $key => $value) {
echo $key." : ".$value." <br />\n";
}
?>

and get a list of every variable that's been set by the current script (at
the point that code is run).

Does print_r($GLOBALS) or print_r($_GLOBALS) help?

Hi all,

This issue was originally posted as Calling a Function from a Remote File.
I've since tried a few things and im still having troubles. Help!?

I've built my own home page that I'm hoping will serve as the "front end" of
an application I purchased. I'd like to "call" some functions from the
application that build a couple of menu bars.

I've tried including the file that the functions are in, but wherever I place
the include it draws the included file and disregards all of my code after
the include.

I've tried several different methods of calling the function, including:

<?
include("file.php");
$call = new class("");
$call->function();
$call->function2();
?>
and

<?
include("file.php");
function();
function2();
?>

and also placing the includes at the beginning of the page with the function
calls at the position I want the menu bars.

In all cases, where I place the include is where it starts drawing the
included file and disregarding my code.

Any ideas??

Chris

You need <?php ?> tags around PHP code inside an include. When PHP
encounters and include it exits the parser so you need tags to tell it to
start parsing again. Do you understand what you are trying to accomplish?
It does not appear so. You have tried function calls in arbitrary places
and switching between using them as methods on an object and just functions.
If you do not know what you are trying to do and with what it is going to be
really hard for someone to help you, especially when it seems you do not
understand PHP at all but are expecting someone to hold your hand and walk
you through the basics. Maybe this seems a little harsh, but you are just
trying stuff willy nilly and do not show any understanding of the language,
which would imply you have done no research at all but expect something to
just magically start working.

You need to call the function where you expect it to execute. If the
function is a method in a class you need to call it on an object, if not,
you need to treat it as a function. If your script is just exiting after
you include something either it is encountering an error, in which case it
would print one to output and you should include it in your email, or there
is something in the include telling it to end, such as a call to exit(). If
it just starts executing code where ever the include is, the include
probably contains inline code and not just functions or a class definition.
If you expect meaningful help, you might want to post what is in your
include.
