You shouldn't wrap the column names in quotes. Try:
$query = "INSERT INTO invoices (ip, total, creation, first_name,
email, session, last_name) VALUES ...
If that doesn't work there is probably an error between the query, the
query data and the SQL table structure. Post the SQL table layout so
the values can be checked.

No, of course not. PHP is a server-side language. IFRAME's (and
anything related to page construction/display) is client-side.

You're mixing technologies. If Netscape won't display something, there
is nothing PHP can do about it. You need to think of another layout
technique that it can display.

again, you're mixing things up. php doesn't have anything to do with
this EXCEPT that it sends html to the client. you have to decide what
html should be sent to the client.
you should join a list such as webdesign-l or thelist to ask this kind
of question.

Yes absolutely, but again this is still an HTML issue.

Say you've got a PHP file that has all of the HTML in it that you
want, other than this little box. At the place where you want the
content of that box to appear you need to use something like this:
<?php
include "litle_box.php";
?>
Whatever is contained in the "little_box.php" script will then appear
in exactly that place in the final page.
Of course you're going to need to arrange the HTML in both files to
make this work, but I think it's what you are after.

Just place
<?php

In your web page in the location where the little box is. Word wrap
typically only happens with images though, so you may have to turn your
text into an image, in which case you could just use a javascript
commands to change the image as needed. If you are including the text
into a table it would be something like:
<table border=0>
<tr><td>some text that keeps running and running</td></tr>
<tr><td><?php
include "box_info.php";

</td></tr>

myfile.php:
<?php
echo "<p>here is some more body text.</p>\n";
?>
main.php:
<?php
echo "here is some body text. here is some body text. here is some body
text.\n";
echo "here is some body text. here is some body text. here is some body

include "myfile.php";
echo "here is some body text. here is some body text. here is some body
text.\n";
echo "here is some body text. here is some body text. here is some body
text.\n";
?>
that will output:
here is some body text. here is some body text. here is some body text.
here is some body text. here is some body text. here is some body text.
<p>here is some more body text.</p>
here is some body text. here is some body text. here is some body text.

Very true. In that case, you can use a package such as DB_DataObject or
DB_QueryTool to abstract the SQL as well.
Or you can use fairly simple SQL with just a few rules and you should be
fine. For instance, always select columns as upper case (for Oracle
compatibility) or always convert them to lower case
(DB_PORTABILITY_LOWERCASE), always use DB::quoteSmart() for values and
DB::quoteIdentifier() for table / column names, etc.
The real hairy part is dealing with joins as the syntax is very
different across the DBs. This can be solved by simply not doing them or
using a syntax that most use. Or you can try to use DB_DataObject, but
I'm not sure it works for all DBs yet.

Yeah, I thought as much. I think if I was creating an application to
be distributed open-source on the Internet it'd make life easier
for other developers if it used something like the PEAR-DB class, but
when you're building your own/companies site and know the environment
it lessens the value somewhat.

I think the trouble comes from the char '&', I have the same result on

How can I do ?

I have not used squirrelcart, but I do really like eShox
(http://www.eshox.com) most of my clients use it and it has great
configurability.
Most of my clients use either Authorize.net or 2checkout.com, both seem to
work quite well, especially with eshox.

Hey all.
I've got a PHP-MySql database driven site setup in a shared hosting
environment that does NOT support apache mod_rewrite.
Is there a workaround for getting dynamic pages (e.g.
index.php?display=contact) indexed in major search engines without using
mod_rewrite?
Any clues very much appreciated.
TIA,

If the PHP configuration doesn't have "register_globals" turned on in

$_POST["my_form_var"]
Of course, substitute my_form_var with the correct variable from the
form that you are submitting.
If the server does have register_globals turned on you can access the
variables just as they are named in the form. For example, if you have
a text input field named "lastname", you can access the value in that
text box using the variable $lastname.

Thanks, but how do I get the info submitted to the PHP
script to access the data in the first place? Since the
target of the form is the Perl script, the submit button
submits the form to the Perl script; can I add a second
button of some type to submit the form to a different
location (the PHP script)? Or can I use the DOM (ie
document.formname.fieldname.value) to grab the data straight
from the fields and then pass it on somehow?

You can't make one form submit to two different scripts sadly, but to
be honest if you're going to write a PHP script to capture this
information - why not make it do what the Perl formmail script does
too? (i.e. send the email) and remove the Perl script from the
equation?

It's just a matter of development time; if there's a way to
use the Perl mail script with a PHP data saving script, it
would save time. If I do have to rewrite the whole thing in
PHP, how would I accept uploaded file attachments and attach
them to the emailed form results?

Then how about in reverse? Add something to the end of the Perl script
that passes the values to a PHP script? It could even do it via the
query string, maybe also passing an md5 encoded password that only
your two scripts know (in order to stop someone spoofing your script).

I don't think that would work because they will need to save
without sending the form. But I had thought about the
reverse: a PHP script that saves the data and then possibly
passes it on to the Perl script.
Do you or anyone else know how to pass on form results in
PHP to another script? (Like I said, I'm pretty new to PHP...)
Thanks!

Well you could try using an HTTP 302 Found or 307 Temporary Redirect, but IIRC
clients must not redirect the request unless the response is received in
response to a GET or HEAD request, so you'd have to use GET. I seem to
remember reading something about uploading files, which is kinda difficult
with GET...
Possibly your best option would be to send a POST request through the HTTPD
via a socket- there are libraries out there to help you do this easily, try
PEAR, hotscripts, phpclasses, etc.

You will need to call gpg from your script using either a socket

I seem to remember someone writing an extension using GPGME, but IIRC GPGME is
GPL'd so there may be some licensing issues... worth a look, though

Just as a note, check out www.md5crk.com. They aim to do just this and
imho have a good plan of attack. I have already moved to sha1 for

Here, here, PGP adds more benefits as long as you don't leak your
private key. You could always try and wrap everything as a mime message
or zip the two together. Also, place a link to the pgp signature in the
README file. Not that anyone ever reads those though. ;)

There's no way you can add the CRC after calculating it without modifing
the CRC for that file. If you add the CRC after you have calculated it, you
are indeed modifing the file, so the CRC would change.
If you want to just check the script file itself, you can create a custom
CRC calculation for your scripts that calculates it just for a section of it:
<?php
$thisScriptCRC = 'XXXXXX';
//{CRC-START}
... your script stuff here
//{CRC-END}
?>
Just calculate the CRC between the tags and add it. Be sure you don't
modify the contents between the tags (carriage returns, etc), since it will
change the CRC of the file.
Also remember that the CRC will change if you upload the file through FTP
in ASCII mode between Windows/Linux, so the CRC check will also fail.

Yes, and in fact that is what I am doing now. This is a spider bot
though, so I'm having to think of every single type of binary file that
could be linked to on the web. So far I'm up to 28 with no end in sight.
What about a .com file? I can't omit links that end in .com can I? That
would be counterproductive to say the least. Also, the function that
does the checking just keep getting longer and longer, which makes the
spider go slower and slower. Granted, the thing is pretty fast if it has
enough BW to work with, but still. This could eventually turn into a
script killer. Detecting whether the stream from file_get_contents(), or
fopen() for that matter, is binary or not and going with that result is
the elegant solution to this problem. There has to be a way to do it.

Well you can do a check on the mime type of the file. eg.
$mimes = array("1" => "application/octet-stream",
"2: => "image/jpeg",
etc.
For more info...
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php
Just like the upload file function you can check for the mime types...

Just a thought, might not be a comlete solution however.

Even Windows doesn't *know* what type of file you've got until you
actually try and open it. You could rename a jpg to mp3 and you won't
know about it until Winamp moans at you as you open it.

You could say it's a glaring omission from operating systems too,
because most succumb to this. The only way to tell for sure is to read
in the header of the file and parse it. If you are blanket rejecting
all binaries - good luck, it'll take ages. Another solution might be
to just treat the file as text regardless and strip out every byte
that is above the standard ASCII value. Hello CPU upgrade requirement.

You could trying writing a script to check the first several bytes of
the file for control characters. If the first 1kb is >= 20% (randomly
pulled from my head) control characters it's a safe bet it is a binary
file. This is not 100% accurate, but it's something to play with that
doesn't rely on mime types or file extensions, both of which can easily
be inaccurate.

The difference isn't as obvious as you might think. Opening a binary
file into a hex editor will show you this. Your brain can determine if
the codes in-front of you are "English" or not, but from a pure logic
point of view that's a little harder.
Also bear in mind that on Unix ALL files are binary files. It is up to
you to determine the type of the file contents as you see fit. For
example you can check for line-terminated data.
It would be wise to check for characters from 0 to 31, if they appear
then it's almost certainly (but not guaranteed) binary.

Assuming that's decimal, you're including 0x09 0x0a and 0x0d which are,
respectively, tab, line feed, and carriage return. That's off the top of my
head, which means two things: (1) i may be forgetting something, and (2) I
need a life ;)
I'm not up to speed on this thread, but perhaps you could (ab)use some

Let me rephrase - check for the existence of characters 0 through 31
and count how many there are. Set a percentage weight yourself and
figure out in your script if you deem the quantity too many or too
few.
The count_chars() function will be absolutely ideal for this.

FTP programs seem to know what kind of file you are transferring. Hence
the ability to switch the transfer between AUTO, BINARY and ASCII modes.
I usually leave mine in AUTO mode and it seems to figure it out OK.
I'd suggest looking at the source to an FTP client to see how they do
it. filezilla is opensource:

That's not bad, but I found a way to do it simply using chr() and

100's of binaries there only one pdf got through. Not a bad record. I
also found that in order for this to work I have to process the URLs.
This makes things really slow so I'm going to have to use both this and
the "check for extension" function together. Still, I can worry a lot
less about getting my index weighted down by binary files. The code is
pretty basic at this point, but here it is:
// Check for binaries
$ckbin = 14;
while($ckbin <= 26){
$ck = chr($ckbin);
$cbin = substr_count($read, $ck);
if($cbin > 0){
echo "Killing off binary file URL: $url\n";
$kill = mysql_unbuffered_query("DELETE FROM search WHERE
url_id='$url_id'");
continue 2;
}
++$ckbin;
}
I know it looks kind of funky out of context, but it works really great.

It should be noted that PDF isn't necessarily a binary. It's just most people
like to use compression, and embed images, sounds, etc. But if you want to,
you can fire up emacs and create a PDF from scratch. So really the record is
better than you think ;)

It will be released when it is done. AFAIK there is not a release date
yet at all. It will be released when enough bugs are fixed and enough
people do not complain about it not working right when they use it. If
you want to shorten the time to release you can always go and fix some
bugs. :)

You do it by including an email header that instructs that the message be
sent as an attachment, like the following:
$to = "someonesomeplace.com";
$subj = "Testing an attachment";
$mess = "This is the test message.";
$headers = "Content-disposition: attachment; filename=test.txt\n";
$mailsend = mail($to,$subj,$mess,$headers);
This will send the message in $mess as an attachment with the filename
test.txt.

Ok, I have below a non-OO response. Personally, while I enjoy the OO

I like your approach, I am glad to see someone wanting to use some
design forethought to save time down the road. Just make sure you stay
flexible.

One spin off on this design would be to setup a naming convention to
your functions. Action_List() could become:
Action_List_nouser()
Action_List_user()
Action_List_admin()
You could have a function that pairs a "List" call with the user's state
and generates the function call:
$func = 'Action_' . $func_name . '_' . $user_state;
$output = $func($args);

You can aggregate this with the Command pattern Michal mentioned
earlier. I would recommend using a variation of the Command pattern to
collect your actions, then use the Factory pattern to manage your user
states and select the appropriate set of actions. This will give you a
lot of flexibility down the road at the expense of some additional
programming now. You should not need to create abstract classes for
each action, however you will need classes to handle creation,
execution, etc. of these classes. IMHO laziness is a boon to
programming, over implementation will be the death of us all. :)

Here's another non-OO solution. You could define these functions in
their own files. For example, hold all the admin versions of these
functions in an admin include, do the same for user, etc. Then include
the appropriate file based in the user's state and proceed from there.
You will not need to worry about having duplicate function names, though
the implementation will be somewhat unique. Also, if a user changes
state you will have to issue an HTTP redirect to reload the correct
functions. Fortunately, I would guess that would rarely, if ever,
happen in the middle of a script's execution.
In looking for a non-OO solution, my opinion is that option 1 would be
the best. It is easy to implement and documentation/code reading will
be easier as time passes. Having multiple functions with the same name
performing different tasks presents a rather steep learning curve to
someone who has to maintain your code.

Adam

what do *i* think?? well, i'll tell you.
i'd say you should definitely keep them in the same table. once you move
them to another table you'll need some way of keeping track of each
users corresponding settings and the way to do that is to have some kind
of unique identifying field that is the same between both tables. this
is usually done with an auto-incrementing ID field.
you will likely not see any performance increase if you split the
tables. in fact you'll probably see a decrase as you'll have to do a
join to get data from two tables at once.
and just to let you know (in case you don't already):
1. don't select the entire table with "SELECT * FROM user_data". instead
you should explicitly list each and every field you want to grab (even
if it's all of them).
2. in case you are not meaning to select the entire table but you are
still doing SELECT *, you'd be much better off following tip #1 because
the database won't be doing as much work.

i think if the most accessed fields are much smaller than the hole

whats the average size of your records?
whats the size of the fields you access the most? (check your sql's for

amount of records would influence that decision too
btw, if they are all 0/1 preferences, maybe you could put them all in a
single field using set or some int type with 1 bit for each preference
(int would be enough for 32 preferences flags)

$value=(time() + 9000) . ":$uid:$username:$gid:$fullname";
SetCookie("Trackookie", $value, 0, "", "server.mssystems.com" );
Here's what I use to delete the cookie.
SetCookie("Trackookie", "", time()-3600, "", "support.mssystems.com" );
Now, creating the cookie is no problem. Deleting the cookie is where I
started having problems on Server 2. At first, I thought it was PHP5 so
I went to PHP4. However, I still kept having the same problem.
Looking at the headers using Mozilla Live-Headers I was able to see that
this was sent from both servers:
Set-Cookie: Trackookie=deleted; expires=Sun, 23-Feb-2003 22:47:22 GMT;
domain=server.mssystems.com
However, if I look at the Mozilla cookie manager, I still see the cookie
there for Server 2. If I try the same thing on Server 1, the cookie
gets deleted without any problems.
I suspect it may be due to my using Apache 2 and downgrading won't be a
problem, but I wanted to check first if anyone had been experiencing the
same problems.
I should add, though, that I was a little overzealous and added quite a
few extensions on Server 2 in order to experiment with them. Have there
been any reports of extensions causing confllicts with cookies.
Thanks and I appreciate any general comments or advice about this.
