Hi,
For a long time, on all of my mysql pages, I've done something like this

$conn = mysql_connect($server,$username,$password) or die("Could not
connect")
mysql_select_db($db);

I've finally put that into its own script file, moved it to my include
files, and simply included it whereever I needed a connection. My question
is, could this get me into trouble if multiple people access the database at
the same time?

Including it is no different to placing it directly into your code. So there
will be no difference.

Hi,

newbie question

I have a linked image, I want to track the users/times the image has been
clicked.

I've set up another .php page that populates a database with the click, then
I wanted to:
Header("Location: http://someothersite ");

but I get the lovely Headers already set error message.

Any suggestions please? Locations of tutorials on this sort of thing.

PHP tells you exactly where the line is that started the output.

mysql_query() should return a boolean true if your insert-query works.
Check that.

Good Evening All,

I know this will probably start a flame war, but I want to get everyone's opinion on which oop pattern is either the accepted pattern or most used pattern for php application.

I'm pretty partial to MVC but it has it's benefits and drawbacks. What does everyone else use?

Hopefully my question will start some meaningful conversation. Unless of course I'm asking a redundant question and this has already been answered. Excuse my redundancy if it has.

Have a great night everyone!

Hi Brent,

you can use more than one pattern within an application (Singleton,
Decorater etc.) so maybe you have to change your question ;)

Here's some good resource on the topic:

Many PHP developers use the MVC pattern (sometimes loosely) when
developing applications. I find it very useful in my larger
applications. For small things, my view and controller tend to be the
same piece of code.

As for other patterns, many PEAR libraries implement other ones and I
use them from within my apps constantly. IMHO, many of the other
design patterns (drivers, decorators, renderers, factories, etc) are
library-level. They work very well for a specific piece of code which
fits into MVC in one of its areas.

attached mail follows:

Hi,

I have been trying to format the textarea output and have come across some
code that almost does what I need, but I still have one small problem.

Look at the text below that was input into my textarea:

Now is the time for all young men to come to the aid of the party. Now is
the time for all young men to come to the aid of the party.
Testing
Now is the time for all young men to come to the aid of the party. Now is
the time for all young men to come to the aid of the party.
Testing.

When I print this out to my webpage it has a line break before and after the
word Testing. I want it to be a wysiwyg - so in the case above there should
be no extra line breaks. It should look exactly as typed.

The code I tried to change the \n to <BR> are:

$text2= nl2br ($text);
or
$text2 str_replace("\n","<br>",$text);

This is what I have in my form.

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the info John, but your suggestion produces the same output. Look
at the source below to see what it produces.

Now is the time for all young men to come to the aid of the party. Now is
the time for all young men to come to the aid of the party.<br />
<br><br />
<br>Testing<br />
<br><br />
<br>Now is the time for all young men to come to the aid of the party. Now
is the time for all young men to come to the aid of the party.<br />
<br><br />
<br>Testing

After 'party' and 'Testing' I hit enter twice, but as you can see above it
adds a 3rd and 4th <br>...

Suggestions?

Thanks

John,

Something came to mind as soon as I sent my last email, and it seems to
work. Not sure it will work in every circumstance but the few tests I tried
seemed ok. This is what I did. I added the two following lines to my script.

$text=str_replace("\n","<br>",$text);
$text=str_replace("<br />","",$text);

Thanks for your input....

Okay... let's say you have $text that is text that was entered into a
textarea. To put it _back into_ a textare, you simply need to do this:

That's it. If you want to display $text to the user outside of a
<textarea>, then you do this:

echo nl2br(htmlentities($text));

If you want to insert $text into a database and magic_quotes_gpc is
enabled, you do this:

$query = "INSERT INTO yourtable (textcolumn) VALUES ('$text')";

If magic_quotes_gpc is not enabled (you can check with
get_magic_quotes_gpc(), btw), then you'd use this:

$text = addslashes($text);
$query = "INSERT INTO yourtable (textcolumn) VALUES ('$text')";

If you'd like to extract the winning lottery numbers from $text, you
simply...

John,

If I just echo $text on the webpage now, everything shows as it should.

HOWEVER, another problem I didn't even clue into until now. This form gets
emailed to a specified address and all I get in my email is one long line
with no line breaks. How do I fix this? I was reading a thread in a web
based group you were having with another person, but none of your
suggestions there worked.

Suggestions....

Thanks again...

You add an S to http ;)

Beyond that, some servers allow one webspace for your files and encryption
is based on whether you specify the S or not. Some servers have separate
directories for http and https files.

Hi list,

i'm trying to include files in my php scripts but things seem not to
work properly. In my script, i include a file like this:

<?php include 'includes/db.inc' ?>

I have all include files in includes directory, that's a children of the
directory where my scrips are. The include_path config. variable is set
like this:

include_path = ".:/php/includes"
(i have uncommented that line)

PHP does not include my files. What i am doing wrong?

Thanks

attached mail follows:

You should not overwrite the whole include-path. Just append new paths.
This should do:

[code]
// Expand include-path (';' on Windows)
$sep = ('WIN' == substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) ? ';' : ':';
ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path') . $sep .
dirname(__FILE__) . 'includes/');

In fact, i'm not changing the include_path in my code, just uncommented
the line in php.ini configuration file.

Do i have to set include_path in code? Where in code should i put that
piece of code setting include_path? Is there any simple way to include
files using relative paths from the ones where main scripts are?

I have /var/www/html/project, where i put my scripts. includes directory
is under that path. I want to put all my include files in there. I
guessed that including files like this, include 'includes/db.inc', would
work, since include_path is set to "." in php.ini, but it does not.

Any help?

Does your PHP-interpreter parse .inc files at all?

Did you get any error-messages? If not, set your error-reporting level
to E_ALL any force PHP to display errors on screen.

[code]
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);
[/code]

Place this code before your include() call.
PHP should print out an error-message if it fails to include a file.

I have scripts in /var/www/html/project/ directory. I would like to put
the include files in /var/www/html/project/includes. How should i
include them in the main scripts?

I've tried the two following ways,

1.
include 'includes/file.inc';

2.
ini_set('include_path', './includes');
include 'file.inc';

but neither of them have worked.

Any help?

From my understanding you have:

php.ini:include_path = ".:/php/includes";

The scripts you want to include are located in:
/var/www/html/project/includes

All you have to do is set your include_path in php.ini:
include_path = "/var/www/html/project/includes:.:/php/includes";

restart webserver.

Then to include the file you want, include it relative to the
include_path:

include('db.inc');

That will try and find a file in these locations in order:
  /var/www/html/projects/include/db.inc
  ./db.inc
  /php/includes/db.inc

And will use the first one found.

I would not suggest using ini_set() inside you're scripts to
adjust your paths.

Hey Curt, why do you suggest we don't use ini_set to adjust paths? I'm
using it as part of my library autoloader - it may not be as efficient
as changing the path directly but it seems to work well.

<?php

  * This should use PEAR-style class names, e.g.
  * Directory_Subdir_File
  * return object|void
  */
function __autoload($class) {
   if (empty($class) || strpos($class, '://')) {
     // Zend engine can't throw exceptions in __autoload()
     trigger_error('Cannot get class file', E_USER_WARNING);
     return;
   }

   if (!defined('PATH_SEPARATOR')) {
     if (strstr(PHP_OS, 'WIN')) {
       define('PATH_SEPARATOR', ';');
     } else {
       define('PATH_SEPARATOR', ':');
     }
   }

   static $origPath = null;
   if (is_null($origPath)) {
     $origPath = ini_get('include_path');
   }

   static $newPath = null;
   if (is_null($newPath)) {
     $cur = dirname(__FILE__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
     $classDirs = array($cur);
     $aryPath = explode(PATH_SEPARATOR, $origPath);
     $aryPath = array_merge($aryPath, $classDirs);
     $newPath = implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, $aryPath);
   }

   // Do PEAR-like file inclusion
   $class = str_replace('_', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $class);
   ini_set('include_path', $newPath);
   include_once ($class . ".php");
   if (!class_exists($class)) {

did you send the mime-type header first? Something like:
header("Content-Type: image/png");
Then you can do an include of the image or something like that.

thanks for your suggestions. We think about a very simple solution. Just
changing the parser-identifier
from '<?' to '<?php' by setting the short_open_tag=Off in the php.ini
. The probability of the substring
'<?php' in the image-stream seems to be very low.

well, mysql query result cacheing is great preformance booster, and so is
any kind of php accellerator )which basically cache compiled byte codes).
Often turning on html compression has great effect on performance.

As for application level cacheing, if needed, I cache parts of the page that
repeat often menues, toolbars, articles, and store resulting html for them
in db, so that the do not need to be recalculated each time page is
displayed. (I use TT support for cacheing).

Hi List

I am currently trying to check for the absence of certain substrings
within larger strings using
regular expressions. I know that I could use on of the string functions,
but in the interests of
flexibility I must use a regexp match of some shape or variety. Up until
now, I have used PHP's
POSIX functions, but if someone has a solution for PCRE, I will use that
as well.

An example of my problem:

I need to check that the substring " R" (that's a space followed by an
uppercase R) is not contained within my haystack.

E.g. Whatever pattern I match, if I match it against the following
haystacks:

"Blah Blah R 99.99" or "Blah Blah R99.99" it should return negative
(i.e. the substring is contained within the haystack)

while

"Blah Blah 99.99CR" should return positive (i.e. the substring is not
within the haystack).

I have RTFM, RTFA, STFW and perhaps I am not phraseing my search terms
correctly, as I am having no luck.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Just one way to do it:

$strings[] = 'Blah Blah R 99.99';
$strings[] = 'Blah Blah R99.99';
$strings[] = 'Blah Blah 99.99CR';
foreach($strings as $value) {

if (preg_match('/\sR/', $value)) {
echo 'A match was found in '.$value.'<br />';
} else {
echo 'A match was not found '.$value.'<br />';
}

What I don't know is how to save the file - do I read the datastream
from imagepng and then create a file and write the stream to it?

If you already have an image resource then calling imagepng() with a filename
will create and write the file for you.

Oh never mind... I looked up at
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php and saw this...

--snip--
When a file is included, parsing drops out of PHP mode and into HTML mode at
the beginning of the target file, and resumes again at the end. For this
reason, any code inside the target file which should be executed as PHP code
must be enclosed within valid PHP start and end tags.
--snip--

So by moving those over to PHP like this solve my problem...

--snip--
<?
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
blah blah
?>

With the information you've provided, jsTest is never accessed. So
its impossible for that error to occur.

Yes you can extend the Zend engine. You'll need to write an extension
wrapper and build the extension into PHP - it can be as easy as that for
procedural coding. You may also want to register settings for php.ini
and/or some globals (i.e. global in PHP). If you want object-oriented
access to your SDK then that's another can of worms.

Do you mean within PHP code? If that's the case then this is taken care
of by the flock() function... it checks the file's status and based on
the parameter(s) that you use it will give you access or not. I believe
that if another script tries to access the file but doesn't try to
flock() it then they can simply do whatever they want with the file
(someone correct me here if I'm wrong).

For SMTP, all lines should be ended with CR+LF, or else messages may be
discarded by spam filters or other programs. However, if you use the
mail() function it may do some filtering on its own.

Anyway, you may want to take a look at this SMTP class to check how it
filters message lines sent by SMTP:

It does. ;-) I was just throwing out an interesting piece of code.

Honestly, I'm surprised that it doesn't segfault PHP. Good job, internals!

What commends do I now use to present these results in a table...?

How would you show a table now with a single record? Start there. Now,
what areas would need repeating with a "finite number" of records? Those
elements should be in a loop, either FOR, FOREACH or WHILE, more than
likely.

If you don't know how to run your query and extract the results, then
you've got some reading to do. Check the PHP manual; there are user
comments that walk you through everything.

I'm having some difficulty with quotation marks, both single and double,
input via a textarea in a form.

Here's and example of text.

Trying out the "Special Character" thing.

Page 1 is the form.

Page 2 is the data shown back to the user.
original POST data is not touched. NO stripslashes
original typed text is show to the user by stripslashes($thistext)
original POST data is transferred to next page via hidden input field
without stripping slashes.

Page 3 posts the data to a MySQL database.
original POST data is not touched. No stipslashes.
Text gets cut off in database (Trying out the)

What exactly do I need to do to the text so that any quotation marks
(single or double) get input into the database.

TIA,

Ed Curtis

Let's say you have $_POST['text'] from the user.

To display the value back to the user with magic_quotes_enabled, you'd
do this:

echo htmlentities(stripslashes($_POST['text']));

To put the value into a hidden form element, you'd do this:

Now, $_POST['text'] will come out correctly on Page 3. Since you seem to
have magic_quotes_gpc enabled, you can put the value directly into your
query.
