Proper HTML attribute values are surrounded by double quotes. Otherwise
in sloppy mode, the HTML parser sees the pace between Hello and 1 and

Subject: [PHP] Problem with HTML Text box and PHP variable.

I am having a problem with rendering PHP variables in an HTML text box. If
the value of $myString is "Hello" the line below will render it correctly
echo "<td><input type=text name=value".$j.$i." size=20
value=".$myString."></td>";

However if the value of $myString is "Hello 1" then the line above will
populate the text box with only "Hello" and it will loose the "1"

If I change the problem line to the following:

echo "<td>".$myString."</td>";

I don't have a problem. "Hello 1" will be rendered correctly. But then I
don't have a text box to edit the value. Please help.

Thanks

Yeah, I figured someone would ask that. :) I couldn't find anything
definitive on w3c.org; can someone back me up?

AFAIK, they are required in XML and XHTML. It's a good habit to get into
with regular HTML, also (although, yes, both will work in HTML).

Question: will the substitution for the variable $dins occur if surrounded by single quotes?

I could be mixing languages here, but I seem to recall a rule in one language about substituting variable contents only occurring between double quotes.

In PHP, no, variables will not be evaluated within single quotes. The
original question was about HTML attributes, though.

This is also my understanding. I could swear that I read it somewhere. I
just don't remember where.

Hi!!!

I´m programming a site in PHP, where I want to do the following:

I will have a set of different directories, where each directory must
execute the same PHP pages, but giving as result different data,
according to the directory where you are located (obtained by
$_SERVER[´PHP_SELF´] for example).

For example I have:

http://www.domain.com/directoryA/
http://www.doamin.com/directoryB/

So each one must have (or should act as if they had) the same PHP pages
and directories under them.

The solution I thought, as copying each page in every directory makes no
sense (if I modify the code I´ll have to change all the pages in all
directories), is to have an includes directory. where I put all the PHP
pages, and in each of the different directories I create pages that
simply include or require the ones from the include directories.

That way I´ll only modify code inone place..

Now.. is there any better way to achieve this??
I thought that maybe with some Apache stuff, but I don´t think there¶
something that will help, since directives such as RedirectMatch, etc.
rewrite the URL, and I don´t want that, I want the URL to remain
http://www.domain.com/directoryX/whatever.php

Is there any way to do this, or I should stick up with the includes??

Thnx in advance,

Juan

attached mail follows:

Is there any type of criteria that would point a user to directoryA or
directoryB?

I recently rebuilt a site that handled a couple thousand
different working directories for clients but used only one set of
scripts for all. The user would have to login and variables were pulled
from a database to set the directory that they would work in. The
directory name could be passed from script to script or stored in
sessions.

The beheaviour I want to acomplish is the same as in yahoorgoups.

You can access a mian page, where you login and have a list of all the groups you are subscribe to.
You click on the link to each one and it redirects you to: http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/yourGroup/

There it displays the page for your group with all it´s characteristics. The same behaviour
if you access that URL directly. Or you can also access http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/yourGroup/messages/ etc

That¶ what I ant to do :)

Any ideas?

thnx again,

Juan

mod_rewrite allows you to do internal redirects. This would keep your
user's URL the same, but actually point to a different page internally.
This is, of course, depends on whether you or your host have mod_rewrite
installed.

that´s clear, I know that, but that¶ not what I want...

I mean, the thing is that I want to execute the same PHP scripts, no matter what directory I´m in, but
show data according to what directory I´m in, exactly the same that happens with yahoogroups and it´s groups

that´s why I´m thinking in putting the PHP pages in each directory which just include the common PHPs
from an include directory (could use hard links either, but I prefer doing it via PHP and not depend on Os stuff)

so that´s what I´m asking, if there´s a better way to achieve this, not talking about cookies :)

cool, it was the first thing I had thought off, but after giving a quick
look at it I thought it rewrited the URLs...

I´ll take a better look at it!!!

I guess there´s no way to do something like this only with PHP, without
Apache conf, is there?

This is doable. It's discussed on here often. Basically, you use an apache
command to FORCE "groups" to be a PHP file. Then the remainder of the URL is
available in $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. You parse that to determine what group
the user is after, retrieve the content, and show it.

Search the archives or google for "search friendly urls" and you should get
some good tutorials or instructions.

Has anyone ever suceesfully embedded a jpGraph image in an FPDF output?

FPDF uses this function for an image

$pdfGraph->Image('grfx/image.jpg', 15, 20, 50, 0, 'JPG');

This is probably an easy question but I have been looking at this code for a
while and it is all blurry..:)

I have an uploaded image in a temp file that I want to rename and put in
another folder. I am using rename() which works fine, the problem is, I
want to force an overwrite if the file already exists. For example, I am
allowing customers to upload an image for a certain product (row) in the db,
I get the row id and rename the image to a guid while they preview, then
move it into the permanent folder and rename it to image_$rowid. They only
get one picture per row so if they want to change the picture, I want to do
the same process and just overwrite the old picture with the new one when
doing the rename.

Problem is, the rename throws errors if the image name already exists. So I
have added unlink() do delete the image....but then I have to add code to
only delete if the image already exists...I am just looking for an easy way
to rename,move, and overwrite all in one step.

If anyone cares, I am working with oscommerce and trying to prevent
different users from uploading a picture with the same name, that is why I
am trying to rename the image to image_$rowid.

Thanks,
Eddie

You should use move_uploaded_file(), which will overwrite the destination
file if it exists. It also has the added security that rename() does not in
that it will ENSURE the file actually came from an HTTP POST operation.

Can you help explain this code? It looks like you're on the right track but
have a few flaws (at first glance).

Is there a reason to be using sessions here?

> set_time_limit(0);

> $extstart=strpos($file, ".");

What does $extstart contain now?

> $ext=substr($file, $extstart+1);

So $ext is now a piece of the file. Why?

> $dir="d:\\downloadable_courses";
> $size=filesize($dir."\\".$file);
> header("Accept-Ranges: bytes");

So $size is now the size of the entire file (not the piece).

> if(isset($_ENV['HTTP_RANGE'])) {
> list($a, $range)=explode("=",$_ENV['HTTP_RANGE']);

So $a is now bytes, and $range is something like 123-456

> str_replace($range, "-", $range);

This makes no sense. The range requested is bytes 123 through 456, and you're
converting this to 123456. Why?

> $size2=$size-1;
> header("Content-Range: $range$size2/$size");
> $new_length=$size2-$range;

This will definitely not work, based on my comments above.

If someone sends this header:

Range: bytes=0-1023

and your resource is 2048 bytes in size, your response should include this
header:

Content-Range: bytes 0-1023/2048

Work on generating the correct string before you bother actually using them as
headers and trying for the full solution.

Hope that helps.

Again, this is a guess, but it looks like two parameters to the applet are used;

One called Document and another to indicate that BASE64 encoding was used to encode the html so that the browser doesn't try to render the html into a page.

when you output your form (FROM PHP, of course), somehow include the following among the parameters for the applet;

echo "<param NAME=\"DOCUMENT\" VALUE=\"".base64_encode($htmlsource)."\"\n"
."<param NAME=\"BASE64\" VALUE=\"true\">\n";

odds are against this working(I'm a pessimist), but it is what I would try before moving on.

What I do in a similar situation is to pass the data in a hidden field
and then pass that to the java applet. As it is html you will be
passing you have to use rawurlencode($data) in the php script
<?
$data = rawurlencode($data);
?>
In the html part

Dan,

You've completely misread and misinterpreted Robert's comments. He
didn't say he didn't want to read posts he wasn't interested in and he
didn't ask the poster to not post things he wasn't interested in
reading. He DID however request that people not send html emails to the
list.

How the heck did you turn a request for no html emails into a request
for people to not post things Robert is uninterested in??????

Oh wait, he means HTML e-mails? I thought he meant posts regarding to
HTML. Please disregard my previous posts.

Not true. www.php.net/require_once

The way I understand it (maybe you know something I don't?)
require/include_once only prevent an included file from being included
MORE than one time, hence the character string _once tacked onto the end
of include() and require().

It does NOT however include a file only when it's needed, it merely
includes it once.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

thats how i saw it includes it once so it prevents say functions being

Yes, and this can be used to help reduce overhead. For instance, if you
require_once() a script which connects to a database in every function
you write which uses a database, you will never connect to the database
unless you use a function which needs it. Same concept applies to other
functions, etc. you can write.

PHP never "magically" decides what you need. But it does ensure that
things which require system resources (whether they be variables or a
connection to a database or classes) are never included unless the
function they are require_once()d in is called (or the branch of the if
statement or whatever). This can be used to save system resources:

1. If no function calling a require_once() is called persistent
resources are never used. (Persistent in the sense that they take up
resources for a scripts execution once called)
2. If a function calling a require_once() is called persistent
resources persist -- i.e. you don't need to reconnect to a database
(which takes more resources) or run an if (!($foo)) { $foo =
'something'; } (which saves coding time -- and makes code easier to
read).
3. If a function calling a require_once() is never called the script
will never be parsed (and resources used).

Perhaps I was not 100% clear in my original post, but require_once()s
/can/ be used to not eat massive system resources.

woah u kiddin me ? i'm sure i edited a function in a functions file which
wasnt executed and it still got parsed (spat out errors)

that would be a kool resource saver if it did though

Well connecting to a database, etc. does take overhead above and beyond
a function. So yes, it does save resources to include it.

And I am not completely sure of the way PHP handles things internally,
but I have noticed that functions don't cause PHP to yelp and moan
unless they are called (for some errors). Plus if a function uses
several kb of memory include_once or require_once() ing them /will/ save
resources on a server.

If I want to show events (records in a MySQL table) for the next 10
days (and I do), what would be the best approach to searching with this
range? (The dates in my table are stored as a string in the format
YYYY/MM/DD.)

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE event_date BETWEEN NOW() AND NOW() + INTERVAL

You quote yourself in your own signature? Isn't that... illegal or

Hi there, i have come to a solution, due the fact that the client does not
store the http_referer on a javascript location.href, is to send the
refering url into the url, there is an issue though say it looks like

something.php?action=delete&return_url=someother.php?action=edit&id=1

it will come out as

something.php?action=delete&return_url=someother.php

i tried urlencode but still no luck any ideas ?

attached mail follows:

Aplogies, that was my app although i am having more issues now, i use
switch statements on a get action variable.

here is the full link

manage.php?
action=deleteconfirm&asset_modelID=82&table=asset_models&return_url=/assets/
manage.php?table=asset_models&ID=82&action=edit

it now things its a edit action instead of a deleteconfirm action :\

What did you try to URL encode? You need to encode the URL that is the value of
return_url. So, you want to end up with this:

something.php?action=delete&return_urlsomeother.php%3faction%3dedit%26id%3d1

Hope that helps.

There should be an equal sign between return_url and someother, in case you try
to copy/paste that for some reason.

Hello,

I have created a db that holds specific information ie a business name. I am running into a problem on a form when you choose the business name another list is suppossed to populate the address or addresses, if multiple occur, and you can select the address.

I am not able to sucessfully pull off this dynamic drill down list in my form because I do not know how to check data from a form field that hasnt been posted through $POST VARS array.

My question is, is their a way to do this in PHP? Do I have to learn javascript in order to accomplish this task or will I have to have a submit button for each form element?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

If you want to process the conent of a form without passing it back to
the server you definitely need to learn javasript.

Hi ,
    I am writing a php extension module on AIX 4.3.3 RS6000 machine.I

for compiling php as well as my extension module. All give the same
result :-(
Has anyone encountered this on a AIX machine.
If not atleast has anyone successfully tested a PHP extension module on
a AIX machine.I urgently need some Help.No matter what I tried till now
All has failed.
Thanks & Regards
