If all you need to do is capture the data sent from a HTTP request, from
PHP 4.3.0 and up you can use streams with anything using a file
reference (like fopen, fread, fgets, etc)... hence:

        $doc = "";
        $fr = fopen("http://www.coggeshall.org/index.php?foo=1&bar=2", 'r');
        while(!feof($fr)) {
                $doc .= fread($fr, 1024);
        }
        fclose($fr);

If you need to pass parameters to the remote script via the POST method,
things are a bit more complex -- but that's basically the idea.

URL wrappers have existed in PHP since PHP3, just not to the universal
extent they do today. fopen() URL wrappers have been around for a long
time, however older versions of PHP may need to be compiled with
--enable-url-fopen-wrapper to work (I think it prior to 4.0.3, but don't
quote me).

Also, make sure you have allow_url_fopen = On in your php.ini file.

I was having a problem connecting to Mysql and found this line in the user's note in the documentation:

$dbl = mysql_connect($dbms_hn, $dbms_un, $dbms_pw);

I tried the '' in my code and BANG! it worked. I was able to connect. What does the '' do for you???

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php

The operator surpresses error messages generated by the statement. If
it's not display an error message anymore, that's just because you are
hiding the error message.

The did not fix the problem, it merely hid it. The operator is used to
suppress errors. It could be that your connection is still failing, but PHP
will try to connect to run a query if a connection is not present, and the
connection PHP is trying to make on its own is succeeding where yours is
still failing. Or it could be that you changed something else in your
connection string. I would not suggest suppressing errors during
development, but rather adding suppression right before you go live. Read
the manual sections on mysql_query, mysql_connect and error suppression for
more information.

OK. I get it. But I've checked phpinfo and I know mysql access is compiled
into my php system. I can connect to mysql from any computer in the
building, so I know mysql is alive and kicking. Is there any REAL test that
I can use to make sure everything is configured right on my system???

I'm running RH8.0 right out of the box. I made sure everything was right in
the php.ini, restarted apache and still have this problem.

hi there , i have been rebuilding my classes with their own custom error
handler function and i usually use trigger_error to trigger an error
internally , i have a DB and Auth class which both are used together ,

the constructors in the error classes look like

$GLOBALS['_ERROR_HANDLER_OBJECT_DB'] = &$this;
        $GLOBALS['_ERROR_HANDLER_METHOD_DB'] = '_catch';
                function db_error_handler($type, $message, $file=null,
$line=null, $vars=null) {
                        return $GLOBALS['_ERROR_HANDLER_OBJECT_DB']->
$GLOBALS['_ERROR_HANDLER_METHOD_DB']($type,$message, $file, $line, $vars);
        }
        set_error_handler('db_error_handler');

and in my erorr handler class it looks like

$db_error = new DB_Mysql_Error(true);
$auth_error = new HTTP_Auth_Error;

if i have the auth error after the db , if i get a mysql error the auth
error will be fired, if i switch it around , if i get an auth error the db
error will be fired off , i have to setup the error objects as just setting
up the base classes will not trigger these :\ , this suddenly just
happended this morning where they were only working just the other day ,
what can i do ?

hi guys!

what do i need to install in linux to be able
for php to connect to MS SQL server 7 / 2000?

thanks

attached mail follows:

You can use the freetds library to connect to MS SQL server.

Take a look at http://www.php.net/sybase

I installed FreeTDS into /usr/local/freetds and then configured PHP
--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds, this will activate the sybase and
mssql_ functions. When I compiled --with-mssql the mssql_connect
function did not return a valid connection ID even though everything was
correct.

The user contributed notes and the documentation at www.freetds.org
should get you going.

This will solve the problem of only showing line with ALL search words in
it, but I don't have the skills to figure out the bolding problem within

Good luck.

$searchWords = explode(' ',$src_trm);

$handle = fopen("searchee.txt", "r");

Yes. To access the value of $id[] in the function you either need to pass
it as a parameter to the function, or declare it global in the function.
Then you might want to assign the return from the function to a variable
which you then echo.

You might want to read up on the scope of variables in the manual.

You mean, like

... the used car CD they want US$388 for?

You could try to figure out the parameters passed to
http://www.kbb.com/kb/ki.dll/kw.kc.uy?kbb.NY;;NY011&13034;r&22&&
and screen-scrape it.

You'll need to include rather than attach as the mailing list probably

Hi,

I'm trying to display an image dynamically, by extracting it from a
database. I've read the user-contributed notes at php.net for the
header() command, and also experimented with using the headers returned
from a direct look at a real .jpg and came up with this code:

     $picture = mysql_fetch_row($res);
     header('Accept-Range: bytes');
     header('Content-Length: '.strlen($picture[0]));
     header('Content-Type: '.$picture[1]);
     header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=file.jpg');
     echo $picture[0];

Assume that $picture is an array, [0] is the image data, and [1] is the
mime type (in other words, assume valid inputs)

Using this code, I get a broken image.

Anyone with header experience know how to trick the browser into
displaying the stupid picture?

Thanks,
Greg

attached mail follows:

Header( "Content-type: ".picture[1]);
echo $picture[0];

The above code is all I use. What I ran into before was that I had the
datatype too small in the database, so I would get a broken image. Make sure
you have the data column atleast as a Blob (that's for upto 64 Kb images),
and bigger blobs will give you more (medium blob is 16MB)

Also when you store the image I use this (notice the use of
mysql_escape_string):

$image_tmp_name = $image ['tmp_name'];
$image_data = mysql_escape_string(fread(fopen($image_tmp_name, "r"),
filesize($image_tmp_name)));

Hope that helps

Hello,

for ($i=1; $i<=$quantas; $i++) {
  if (trim($_FILES['imagem']['name'][$i])!="") {
  //this is the original name of the image(imagem[$i] was the field in the
form)
  $file_name = $_FILES["$imagem"]["name"][$i];
  //heres the place on the server
  $file_path = $_FILES["$imagem"]["tmp_name"][$i];
  //heres the original extension
  $extensao = substr ($file_name,-3,3);
  //heres some other information
  $id_materia=$_POST['id_materia'];
  //the name of the image is a composition
  $nome_imagem = "imagem_".$id_materia."_".$i.".".$extensao;
  //this is the place ill put it
  $new_path = "c:/apache/htdocs/cirandabrasil/img/materias/".$nome_imagem;
  //this is moving
  move_uploaded_file ($file_path, $new_path);
  //this is inserting on the db
  $imagens = $imagem[$i];
  mysql_query("INSERT INTO materias_imagens (id_materia, nome)
VALUES('$id_materia', '$nome_imagem')");
  echo "Materia ".$i." ok.<br>";
};

the name things work well, and I get the information on the db, but not the
extension... meaning that the files are not uploaded!! What am I doing
wrong?

Thank you, :)

It wont hurt to research before asking.

Try a search for curl at php.net. (It definitely will give you the answer.)

Howdy,

I am having a rather interesting problem. I went into the php.ini file
to change the default session.name from PHPSESSID to UID and now I get
two _COOKIE's! One with UID and one with PHPSESSID, plus they both have
different values! Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

Thanks,

Ben

greetings. my webhost recently switched to a new
provider with the latest version of php with apache on
unix.

I have had nothing but problems with include() since
then. Aside from not being able to include most (but
not all) remote html files, even the LOCAL html, text,
or php files being called locally by include() are
taking extremely long to include (4-5 seconds).

The files to be included are no longer than 2 to 10
lines of text, but the delay is well into 4-5 seconds
(which is considerably too long given that php is
supposedly one of the fastest languages).

I did not have this problem with my previous server.
files (both remotely and locally) were included in a
split second. Ideas? Help? Please?? Thank you.

The first thing you do when your site gets moved to another server is to
create a couple of phpinfo() files, place one on each server, and compare
the settings/features.

You could/should address the differences with your host, looking to get the
two packages as similar as possible, within reason.

If, for example, safe mode is ON on the new server, and was OFF on the old,
then this would make a HUGE difference -- I'm not sure if it would affect
your specific script and problem, but getting the settings as equal as
possible would be a nice start... as would searching for a new ISP, since
the problem is more than likely NOT your scripts, since they WERE working.

How to do it?

That's not the way it's supposed to work... some browsers DO do it by
default, but pressing "back" in a browser is supposed to show you what was
on the page last time you looked at it -- in other words, the page isn't
supposed to be re-requested from the server.

I *think* you might be able to force such behaviour with something
client-side like JavaScript, but you'll have to ask the appropriate list(s).

If you want to refresh the page (aka click 'refresh') you can add:

To your HTML document between the <HEAD> tags. the X represents the
number of seconds before the refresh occurs.

If you want to actually go back a page, you'll need to go lookup the
method on a Javascript site. I believe 'history.back()' might work as
the method call, but don't quote me on that.

John,

Thanks for responding. No, I don't really need to write it to the
filesystem - it's just that that's the only way I could think of doing it.
Displaying as a streamed image seems a sensible solution - but this and
serializing are new to me (though I was aware of them). Anyway, after a bit
of grappling with the manual I've got something working. FYI, this is what
I'm doing...

I've created a file called dept-img.php which contains:

<?php
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$deptcode=array();
$deptcode=unserialize(stripslashes($_GET['codes']));
$backimg = imagecreatefrompng('deptmaps/bckgrnd.png');
foreach ($deptcode as $dkey => $dval) {
    if ( file_exists("deptmaps/".$deptcode[$dkey].".png")) {
     $overlay = imageCreateFromPNG("deptmaps/".$deptcode[$dkey].".png");
      imageCopyMerge($backimg,$overlay,0,0,0,0,350,394,100);
}
}
imagejpeg($backimg);
?>

That's the whole file. And I'm calling this with:

<?php $ser_codes = serialize($deptcode); ?>
<IMG SRC='dept-img.php?codes=<?php echo $ser_codes ?>' >

($deptcode is an array of two-character strings)

Like I say, it seems to be working, though if anyone can see an obvious snag
with this code I'm always open to constructive criticism. And thanks again
for putting me on the right track.

Dear all,

I am, in my PHP script fcheck1.php writing to an HTML file.
This HTML page has a hyperlink 'email' which should open
up another form.
I am attaching the code.
What the code does is:it writes to the HTML file and posts the
data to the next form which creates an html page of similar
kind.

what i want is: when the user clicks on the 'email link'
a form should open which should be able to access the $wname
value.

but i don't know how can i post this data to the html form
because in fcheck1.php i already have a submit button that posts
this data to another form.

please help.

thanks a lot.

diksha.

A way to send the variable to the next page is adding the var to the

Hi,

Is there any function which can convert an UTF-8 char to UTF-16 format?

for example:
UTF-8: E6 B8 AC => UTF-16: 6E2C (Decimal: 28204)

test it from:
http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=6E2C

But I don't know how it goes...

Thanks,
Sepho
