Hello Everyone,
I want to emulate session objects (as opposed to variables). I stumbled
upon creating multi-dimensional arrays, so I can do this:
$name = 'Bob';
$year = '2003';
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$user][$year] = 'registered';
which gives $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['Bob']['2003'] = 'registered';
but I want to append an options array in this so what I want is:
$options = array (
'income' => 10000,
'age' => 25
);
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$user][$options] = 'registered';
which gives:
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['Bob'][ [income]=10000, [age]=25 ] = 'registered';
but this doesn't work. Is there any way I can have "objects" saved in
sessions?

you would have to give $user another key value
$options = array('income'=>10000.'age'=>25);
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$user] = $options;
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$user]['status'] = 'registered';
also in these cases print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$user]) can be your
friend.

There is, but I am not sure that is what you want. The reason you are
getting the above result is because you are using $object (which is an
array) as a key. Do you want an array element that holds the $options array?
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$user]['options'] = $options;
You could then add elements to this array like this:
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$user]['options']['registered'] = 1;
Is that what you are trying to do?

I've built a log in system which sets the user's id as a session if
succesfully logged in. However, a user on IE5/Mac tells me that the site
logs her out even though she has entered the correct login details. I

Are there any known issues using php sesisons with IE5/Mac?

Not that I know of.. I have written most all my applications using IE5 on
the Mac as my primary browser and they all work great.. And now that I use
Safari they still work great.. So there is something wrong with the way
your cookies are being set I believe.. or some other problem.. because IE5
for mac can definitely use and work with sessions..
Cheers!

For what it's worth (which may not be much), I've heard reports of problems
with IE5.2 in OSX when used with Entourage. A colleague's session was
failing after checking email with Entourage, and he said Microsoft confirmed
the problem. However -- I've since gone to OSX and can't duplicate the
problem on my system.

Ah yes there was a huge problem with this.. basically every time Entourage
went and checked your mail.. or a ToDo, Calendar alert happened the
preferences that Entourage and IE shared (don't ask me why) we're
overwritten.. thus deleting any session info, etc that might have been in
the cookies in IE. Im not sure if they fixed it yet.. but if you couldn¹t
duplicate the problem.. then it sounds like they have. I finally got so
frustrated I went to other browsers.. and now am on Safari.. too bad IE,
which is ok since MS does not support the Mac version anymore anyways.
Cheers!

If you install MySQL from a RPM what path do you put in the PHP configure

use --with-mysql or --with-mysql-sock
example:
./configure --with-mysql
./configure --with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

If you just use --with-mysql it will use PHP's built-in mysql client lib
3.23.49, but I have MySQL 4.0.14 installed. Won't this make a difference. I
want to make sure PHP is compiled this the right libraries for MySQL.

from what i understand of the configuration script it will go out and
look in various locations for the mysql libraries. If you want to
specify something then I would suggest using the --with-mysql-sock and
pass the socket file. I like to use the socket file and have always had
great success with it even for mysql 4.0

Ok,
when I compiled with --with-mysql only, phpinfo() said:
Client API version: 3.23.49
I will recompile PHP with --with-mysql-sock instead.
I want to make sure PHP is using the right MySQL Client version.

I don't think this will change the client version. It is my
understanding that this will just tell the client to look in a specific
place for the socket file.
> I want to make sure PHP is using the right MySQL Client version.
I think you will need to specify the location using --with-mysql=[dir].
It is just a guess, but try --with-mysql=/usr
If you can't find where it is, one thing that might be worth considering
is whether or not you need the 4.0 client lib. Take a look at this link:

Hi,
It's not very clear what you are trying to do. From what i understand
from your mail, i think a recursive call to select_names would be the
ideal solution. In these scenario you call select_names() once and from
within the function you call select_name() again for the each of the
matches on the first level.
You should be aware of the obvious drawback of recursive calls: memory
consumption. If your tree strecthes to infinity as you feel it migh, you
will get a stack overflow. :-)

Hello all,
I'm working on an entry page where I would like to show some of the
current headlines from technology websites. I've been following and
pretty much understand the article on devshed
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/PHPRDF/page1.html Plugging RDF
content into your Website. From what I gather from the article is that
he uses a foreach loop to display the Title, link and description which
could be anywhere from 5 to 15 links. I only have room on my page for 3
and then I plan on putting a more link taking visitors to a page where
I'll have more room.
I was reading in the Welling/Thomson book about converting a foreach
loop into another loop. Here is the original foreach loop and then what
I was trying to convert it to:
foreach ($items as $item)
{
echo "<tr><td><a href=" . $item["link"] . ">" . $item["title"] .
"</a><br>" . $item["description"] . "</td></tr>"; }
//**********************************************************************
*
for ($row=0; $row<2; $row++)
{
while (list ( $key, $value) = each ($items[$row]))
{
echo "<tr><td><a href=" . $item["link"] . ">" . $item["title"] .
"</a><br>" . $item["description"] . "</td></tr>";
}
}
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Right now I don't get an
error but I also don't get any text or results.
Thanks - Frank

I've got a simple expression "<quesxx> where "xx" is a number from 0 to 99.
I want to replace it with simply <ques>. That is, I want to remove the

Will "str_replace" do it, or must I use ereg_replace?
I haven't figured out from reading the php manual on regular expression
how to do this simple thing.
Thanks....
attached mail follows:
$String = "<ques99>";
preg_replace('/*\<[a-z]+)[0-9]+(\>)/', '$1$2', $String);

Btw, does anybody know why preg_replace is adviced over ereg_replace in the

preg_replace, couldn't this function get depricated?

I think (and don't quote me on this, and feel free to correct me :) that
preg_replace() is fast being based on perl regular expressions.
ereg_replace() however, follows the POSIX standard for regular
expression matching.

That's a good open source one with APIs for just about everything, including an
Apache module that you can use for real-time queries even under significant
load.
Hope that helps.

Hey all,
I've been dealing with EXIF data in images for a while now. Reading
in PHP is available, however editing, or creating EXIF entries doesn't
exist.
I am going to work on a set of classes to interphase with libexif a C
package at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libexif/
The package itself, appears to have a license compatible with PHP
(MIT license), and I beleive would make a great addition to PHP's
graphics library. Currently industry standards use EXIF all over the
place, and very few languages (from what I have found) have really good
support for EXIF.
Integration to PHP would be ideal. Say you resize an image using GD,
currently the EXIF data that previously existed with your image is
gone. Now you could rewrite information back into your image. EXIF
also always for user defined feilds, which would mean I could attach a
description directly to an image saving the use of a database or other
datasource.
I am not a C coder, and thus I don't fansy myself a writer of
PHP/PECL extensions. I was wondering if support for this kind of action
is scheduled? If not, is there a chance it might be? I am willing to
offer my own assistance in the matter, but I have zero experience in
this realm. Regaurdless of weather a PHP/PECL extension is created,
I am planning to write abstraction for using this lib commandline. But
ideally for speed, and integration/permissions reasons this would exist
as a PHP/PECL extension.
Thoughts?

that's exactly what number_format() does... from the example on
www.php.net/number_format :
<?php
$number = 1234.56;
// english notation (default)
$english_format_number = number_format($number);
// 1,234
// French notation
$nombre_format_francais = number_format($number, 2, ',', ' ');
// 1 234,56
$number = 1234.5678;
// english notation without thousands seperator
$english_format_number = number_format($number, 2, '.', '');
// 1234.57
?>
that's all there is to it.

I;ve just just installed php 4.3.3 on a new w2k server and uploaded a well

somewhere, but as yet I'm unable to track it down.

Hello,
I am using php to explode the lines of a text file (delimited by a
comma), break it into an array, and echo only one of the array elements.
I have accomplished all of this, but it only echos the text for one
line. How do I get php to scan multiple lines? I tried to introduce a
line count, but I can't find any information on how I can create a loop.
An example would be:
For the below text file, I want to echo
dept, 10, 20, 40 ,30
empid, name, job, dept
10,Wilma Tucker, Sales Engineer, 10
43,James Whitmore, Unix SA, 20

Here is an example of how to loop through a array:
$array = file('data.txt');
foreach($array as $value) {
list($id, $name, $job, $dept) = preg_split('/,/', $value);
echo $dept;
}
How is your array setup?

Take a look at Turck MMCache and Zend Encoder, both will require your
user to install a free Loader. Turck MMCache is free, Zend Encoder is
not, either will make your applications run faster.
You should workout good licensing deals with your clients because with
enough motivation and time they will reverse engineer an encoded
script. The PHP Obfuscator was intresting but you need to test your
application again after you use it because of the changes it makes to
the code.
Most people recommend good legal licensing and a good relationship, if
that isn't possible I'd use MMCache or Zend Encoder and accept someone
may reverse engineer it at some point, either of these programs are
better than something that obscures the code because the store the
optimized bytecode which will accelerate the program where an encrypted
source file will slow you down, an obscured one shouldn't slow you down
much if at all but then there is the testing thing :).

You might want to read
http://php.net/session
You are most likley running into a register_globals issue.
A couple things to note:
. You must not mix $_SESSION[] access with session_register()
anywhere in your script.
. When you issue session_register('name') inside your class it is
declaring the global var $name as a session var, not the $name in
your script.

Is the PHP constant SID always defined? I have found conflicting answer
in the documentation. One page of the docs says it is always defined
while another says it is defined only if the right cookie hasn't been
passed to the server.
Also how can I check if the SID is set or not?
I have tried the following but get an error:
<?php
if (isset(SID)) {}
?>
Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$''
Thanks,

This is a good sign that mysql is crashing for some reason, check
your mysql logs and seek the mysql archives.

What you explained seems that you're doing something wrong... can
you provide a small example of what you want to get done?

So you just want to count how many digits their are?
$num_list = "1,2,3,4";
$count = substr_count($num_list, ",") + 1;
http://php.net/substr_count
No sense of all the extra work in putting it into an array.
HTH,
