Thanx, seems to work just fine.

Some questions:
Why "true" in the switch()?
Why preg_match instead of ereg?

Regards,
J

attached mail follows:

I am familiar with pcre more then php's POSIX extension :)

and it is said that preg_match() is faster than ereg(), see php manual
for more info :)

function isValid($strData, $bIncludeAlpha=false, $bIncludeNumber=false)
{
     switch(true) {
         case $bIncludeAlpha && !$bIncludeNumber:
             $ptr = "/^[a-zA-Z]+/";
             break;
         case !$bIncludeAlpha && $bIncludeNumber:

         default:
             return false;
     }
     return preg_match($ptr, $strData);
}

please add "default" statement:)

Dears,

How can I make a virtual host. I usually type 127.0.0.1 in my browser to
test my site but I need to work on another site in a different
directory?

I am running Apache, PHP4, Mandrake 10. I am not sure which appache I
am running but when I do 'apachectl graceful' it says "Reloading httpd2"

I hope that I am not running apache2 as it is not recommended to use
apache2 and php in production.

Best Regards

... check out http://httpd.apache.org/docs/

Also you need to set up some DNS entries so that entering (for example):

http://www.mytestite.com/

will point to your local webserver. The easiest way to do this is to add
entries in /etc/hosts.

httpd2 usually signifies Apache 2.X.

Hi!

I am trying to list all files and dirs in a directory. But i encountered
some problems with is_dir() function. is_dir tells med that it all is
files when i know for a fact that there is one dir in the directory

<?php
if ($handle = opendir($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/img")) {

 }

Thanx in advance

I thought i try to help you when you been so kind and helped me with my
questions : )

I just can say that i run Apache 2 with ISAPI module loaded on XP and it
performs just fine!

Haven´t tried Apache 2 under Linux, but apache 1.

So my advice....Apache2.

J

Dear list,

im running mysql 4.1 and php 4.3.8 and have the following problem with
charset. If i select a row from a table like
SELECT *
FROM ip
WHERE ip
LIKE '127.0.0.1'
LIMIT 0 , 30

i get the error:

#1267 - Illegal mix of collations (ascii_general_ci,IMPLICIT) and
(latin1_swedish_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation 'like'

the database is completly configured as ascii charset so i need to know how
to i change the charset from swedish (latin1) to ascii in php ?

btw i configured php as --with-mysql/usr/local/mysql

thanks for answers

Hi all,

I have stumbled across something odd related to classes, instances and
NULL in PHP 4. Apparently, an instance of a class that doesn't contain
any variables is always equal to NULL.

  class MyClass {
    function anyFunction() {
      ...
    }
  }

  $c = new MyClass();
  if ($c == null) {
    print "is \$c really null?";
  }

`is_null($c)' however, returns `false', as one would expect.

As soon as the class contains a variable, the `$c == null' comparison
returns false.

Is there any logical reason why the comparison with the `==' operator
returns `true'? I don't know about the internals of PHP, but I think
this might be related to implementation details (e.g. instances of
classes being associative arrays). However, from an OOP point of view
this behaviour seems rather weird.

I may not be the first to notice this. I couldn't find anything in the
mailing list, if there has already been a discussion about this, just
point me to the right direction.

Thanks
Oliver

Thank you. I know there is a `===' operator, but to me this doesn't make
sense either.

class A { }
class B { var $x; }

It is logical that an instance of `A' is not identical to null. However,
why is an instance of `A' equal (`==' operator) to null, an instance of
`B' not? Do objects automatically evaluate to their associative array
representation? Is this intended behaviour?

Thanks
Oliver

There are four different types that PHP could be casting the object and null to that
would result in them being equal, namely boolean, integer, float, and array. It's
definitely not casting them to string or object. My guess is the behavior is not
intentional since the documentation for the "NULL" type says that a variable is
equal to null only if it has had the "null" constant assigned to it, it has not had
a value assigned to it at all, or it has been unset(). You'd probably get more
definitive answers on the internals list. Personally I consider the behavior a bug,
so I'd probably file a bug report on it, although I wouldn't expect it to be given a
high priority. :)

Hmmm, I was about to say: "This is expected behavior", but the output
of this script I whipped up doesn't make sense to me:

class A {
}
$a = array(0,
'0',
'',
null,
array(),
new A());

echo '<table>';
foreach($a as $key => $val) {
 foreach($a as $key2 => $val2) {
 if($key != $key2) {
 echo '<tr><td>';
 var_dump($val);
 echo '</td><td>';
 var_dump($val2);
 echo '</td><td>';
 if($val == $val2) {
 echo 'yes';
 } else {
 echo 'no';
 }
 echo '</tr>';
 }
 }
}
echo '</table>';

I would sugest using === for anything critical where you don't
necessarily know the type.

Everything is possible :)

And in this case, it seems, that lines are delimited by ... i'm not quite
sure, whether " " can be used in explode as a delimiter, if so, you have no
problem and you just read all the file into variable, $lines = explode(' ',
$variable) and you have lines in $lines... if " " can not be explode's
parameter, i would use str_replace to replace it with ie. #13 and then explode
it... or use some regular expressions... it depends on how fast you need it... :)

hope this was what you needed... :)

I have never kept my images in the database but instead used the db to hold
the path to the image. I now have to connect to a third party SQL Server db
which holds images with an image data type in the table. How can I pull

New to the list, thanks in advance.

I have created a form that lists the possible sponsorships of various
events. I need to keep the names of the checkbox to identify the specific
event, but the value is a dollar amount that needs to pass thru to the
checkout area function. Without creating an array that would loose the
events names (some events have the same dollar amount), how can I capture
the dollar value(s) checked an pass them to the checkout form?

[/snip]

I don't think you explained this well, but I'll take a shot....

When this is passed to processing via a POST event it becomes

$_POST['EventFoo'] (that contains the value entered in the form, like 5
bucks)

So for each event name you will have a like POST array item containing
the value.

Does this help?

attached mail follows:

[snip]
Your right, I didn't explain fully. If I have two events where the
value="$5", then after I have looped thru the array I know they want to
pay
the $5, but not which event that goes to because multiple events are
that
value. What I'm thinking I'll do is make one array and give each event
a #,
then after checking for the selected checkbox, validate which number and
pass thru the event and corresponding dollar amount. Sound like the
best
solution? If not, I hope I have explained a little more precise.
[/snip]

A. Always reply back to the list in case the responder is no longer
available which may leave you hanging.

2. Even though multiple events have the same value ($5) they are listed
in the POST array according to the name the event input was given in the
form. You do not need to do the above unless you have a badly done form.
Why don't you send the code from the portion of the form we are talking
about and we can help better.

Not exactly sure what you're trying to do. However you seem to be wanting to
pass around monetary values via forms. In general this is a VERY BAD idea.
Data submmitted from forms should not be trusted. Instead you should only
link the events to their monetary values (using a back-end lookup table or
whatever) AFTER the form is submitted.

attached mail follows:

Example of form:
<td height="52" align="left" valign="middle"><input type="checkbox"
name="wbc_Money" value="$5000">
 Power of Money Series ($5000) <img src="images/sold_Out.gif"
border="0">Power
 of Politics ($3500) <input type="checkbox" name="wbc_Wine"
value="$1000">
 Power of Wine    <input type="checkbox" name="wbc_Golffall"
value="$3500">
 Power of Golf (Fall) Series ($3500) <input type="checkbox"
name="wbc_Golfspring" value="$3500">
 Power of Golf (Spring) Series ($3500)</td>

So the dollar amounts are the same for three of the four events, but this is
just a snippet of about 20 items. If I take out the dollar amounts, and
just populate an array with what are now the descriptive names, I can assign
dollar amounts in the checkout script. Am I on the right track?

Yes you are...each would be available thusly.....(with your names and
current values once the submit button is pressed)

$_POST['wbc_Money']; would be equal to $5000
$_POST['wbc_Wine']; would be equal to $1000

$_POST['wbc_Golfspring']; would be equal to $3500

Most people who use the term RTFM do not attach any hostile intentions with
it. If you're going to start getting all emotional about being told to RTFM
then you should stay away frm mailing lists, the internet, and computers in
general.

Well there *are* people whose language standards are quite conservative who find
even the "hidden" use of that Anglo-Saxonism in the acronym offensive -- "RTM"
would be much less so. I don't agree with them, but I totally understand their

Great thing about an acronym...it can pretty much mean whatever _you_
want it too. Of course where things like RTFM, STFA, et al are

Because that's what it *does* mean. The others are post-facto bowlderizing of
it. If I told someone to FOAD, and tried to explain that it meant "float off

I'm among those who are really pissed off when I see honest questions
being answered with 'RTFM' or 'STFW'. I am relatively new to PHP, but
by no means am I new to programming: like everyone else here, I already
know how to RTFM and STFW. But sometimes I like to get an opinion from
a real person: correct me if I'm wrong; is that not the purpose of a
list??

If you're going to answer with an insulting 'RTFM' or 'STFW' then don't
even post. Your noise is not helpful. Go find a list where everyone
already knows everything so you can masturbate all you want.

For all practical purposes:

RTFM == "read the manual"

If someone finds it offensive then they're either delusional or paranoid or
more likely both!

When you redirect you have to pull the comment from the database for it
to display. Are you doing that?

What I usually do is send a header redirect back to the same page. Your DB
injection should occur before any HTML output. At the end of the DB
injection simply add:

header("Location:your_php_page.php");
exit;

This will reload that page and all the $_POST data will be removed. THen
you can hit refresh all you want.

I stuck phpinfo() in my script that PayPal calls after the
transaction, and I'm getting both _REQUEST[] as well as _POST[] values.
All the values are the same for both variable, but they're there:

        _REQUEST["payment_gross"] = "20.00"
        ... several other _REQUEST variables ...
        _POST["payment_gross"] = "20.00"
        .. some more _POST variables that match the _REQUEST ones above

Wouldn't it be easier to simply do:

$result = mysql_fetch_row($sth);

And then work with the $result array? If your DB indexes are listed as
CompanyCode and CompanyDB, then use:

$result = mysql_fetch_array($sth);

Then you have your variable names like you want:

$result['CompanyCode'] and $result['CompanyDB']

I've got a function where I reset an expiration datetime to 3 days in

The problem most of us spotted was that there was not information in the
initial post to arrive at any conclusion whatsoever. No code was given,
because that wasn't broken. You gave us a SQL query (which might be
directed at a database list) which offered no possible explanation and
then you asked us about your ISP. Since we all knew instinctively which
ISP it was we figured it might be easier to ask them. They probably have
recompiled Apache, PHP and MySQL...depricating some of your usage.

1) You're on the wrong list. Try asking on the mailing list of whatever DB
you're using.

2) For date calculations it's generally a good idea to use the the DB's date
calculation functions.

3) There are loads of things you can do yourself to help analyse the problem:
eg what does NOW() show in DB?, what does `date` show in OS (assuming un*x),
what does date() show in PHP?

Maybe they've upgraded something on the server that's somehow affecting your
code?

Against MySQL 4.0.18

Query: select NOW()
Results: 2004-07-29 10:48:12

Query: select NOW()+3000000
Results: 20040732104424

The difference in result data format would lead to the problem you're
experiencing. In other words, you're suddenly trying to store a big number
into a date or date_time field and that doesn't work.

Depending on which version of MySQL you're using, try one of these:

(MySQL 4.1.1 and later)
update table set expire = ADDDATE(CURDATE(), 3) where ...

(older versions)
update table set expire = interval 3 day + CURDATE() where ...

Thank you for not trying to be a condescending smartass at all.

This is a little bit more involved then the subject would let on. What I have
is a picture page, has nothing to do with an 80's themed kids show starring
Bill Cosby, but what it has to deal with is a search results like page where 5
images will appear with a next and prev link to get to more. However what I
need to do extra is if someone clicks in from a link for a particular picture
I need to display that pic first. So below is my psudocode.

$numresults = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM images WHERE approved = 1");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($numresults);
if (empty($offset)) {
$offset=0;
}
// end entry
$sqlquery = "SELECT * FROM images WHERE approved = 1 ORDER BY imageId DESC
limit $offset,$limit";
$result = mysql_query($sqlquery);
while ($search_return = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
print the images here
}
//mysql_free_result($result);
print $search_results;
// entry for results
$pages = intval($numrows/$limit);
if ($numrows%$limit) {
$pages++;
}

for ($i=1;$i<=$pages;$i++) {
$newoffset=$limit*($i-1);

Several thousand. It must be the heat. Here are some.

Have you tested this? It wasn't explained clearly. The subject of the
thread does not reveal anything inside the post. Have you read
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html this? There are no
comments in your code.

attached mail follows:

Okay so I have a list of 20 images, I want to display 5 per page, the code I
have included will do that without any problems, and the code I have included
will setup the Prev, Next and page # links and they will pull up the correct
results. However I need to include some functionality where if I give this
code an image id say 13, that the code with then show 13 as the first one and
go on to 14, 15 to the end, and then start over ending the list at 12. So
that in this example you have 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 on page 1. page 2 would have
the next 5 and so on back to 12.

So I need to order a list starting at x, which in this case = 13, and then
have it loop around and end at 12.

Hi all,

I'm trying from much days to solve a problem with a regular expression...
I'm going to be crazy!

I've a script that must strip a string when it find the first word
containing at least 4 characters; it must print the content of the
string before that word, that word, a separator and the rest of the
string.

I've tried with ereg whit this script (## is the separator):

ereg( '^([^ ]{4,})(.*)$', $testo, $matches);

$contents = "$matches[1]##$matches[2]\n";

but it is not the right script because if the strin($testo) is "the
thing is" the script doesn't find nothing and doesn't print. For this
example the right content of $contents must be:

$contents = "the thing##is\n";

instead of nothing.
I've tried with thousand of variant of this script but without success.
have you any ideas of the right regular expression?

Thanks in advance.
Bye

Barbara

I'm more comfortable with the PCRE functions:

$string = "the thing is";

if (preg_match('/^(.*?\S{4,})(\s*)(.*)$/', $string, $matches)) {
$contents = $matches[1].'##'.$matches[3]."\n";
print_r($contents);
}

prints

the thing##is

Your regex is anchoring its search for the first 4 character "word" to the beginning
of the string, which is probably not what you want.

I'm assuming from your description that you want whitespace that appears after the
first 4 character word to be replaced by the delimiter. Also you didn't specify
what should happen if the four character word happens to appear at the end of the
string. Also keep in mind that there are other word boundaries besides simply
whitespace, so you might want to use the "\w", "\W" metacharaters instead of "\s"
and "\S". See "perldoc perlre" for more details...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I managed to kill my existing authorisation credentials by throwing a
401 unauthorised header at IE.

Just in case anybody else is interested here is the basic layout of the
code I used(I did format it but that might have got lost, apologies if
it has):

logout.php
<?
session_start();
$_SESSION=array();
$_SESSION['LoggedOut']='TRUE';
?>

login.php
session_start();
//Start by assuming user is not logged in.
$UserAuthenticated = false;
//Check that user has input login credentials.
if ($_SESSION['LoggedOut']=='TRUE')
{
            header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="www.ninemil.com"');
            header('HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized');
        $_SESSION['LoggedOut']='FALSE';
        exit;
}
else if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) &&
isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']))
{
        //Compare login credentials to data in database and see if they are
valid.
        //See if the data check was successful
            $num = mysql_numrows($UserQuery);
            if ($num!=0)
        {
                //Set the session information to be used while logged in here.
                //Make sure code knows that user has been authenticated.
                $UserAuthenticated = true;
            }
}
if (!$UserAuthenticated)
{
        //If user authentication has failed display error page.
            header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Realm Name"');
            header('HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized');
        //redirect to error page
            exit;
}

        //Redirect to default restricted area page for logged in users

There is a local radio station near me that has a crumby webserver that doesn't
server HTTP requests in a standard way.
So, I wrote a simple PHP script that fetches a playlist I want (with curl) and
serves it properly. I only want to get a table from the resulting HTML file. I
have it stored in a variable. So, my question is how would I go about removing
the garbage I don't want until I hit the <table> tag I want and then remove
everything after the </table> tag at the end?

Assuming there's only one table in the document....

I need to record the names of functions, and then use them later.
Recently I found the following example within the on-line documentation:
<?php
function foo() {
echo "In foo() \n";
}

$func = 'foo';
$func(); // This calls foo()

then I supposed that it was easy to extend this concept to objects and
wrote the following case:

<?php

function foo() {
echo "In foo() \n";
}

class a {
   var $fname;
   function a() {
     $this->fname = 'foo'; // the name of the function
   }

$w = new a;
$w->execute();

And this was the error I got:

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.2
Content-type: text/html

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fname() in - on
line 14

I know that this can be solved easily with an intermediate variable:

$temp = $this->fname;
$temp();

but I wonder if there is a more direct method.

I'm working on a thumbnail script currently that needs to support multiple

support for TIFF files in PHP or maybe a way to convert a TIFF file for

GD doesn't support TIFFs (and neither do browsers). Try looking into
ImageMagick.
