But not the way you think it does.

This if statement will first check to see if $name == "jim" (oh yeah,
you are missing quotes around jim, andrea, and tommy, by the way). Then,
it does *NOT* check to see if $name == andrea. Instead, what it does, is
it treats "andrea" as a seperate test condition. A simple value by
itself, with no logical operator, gets automatically cast to a boolean
value. Because the string "Andrea" is not empty ("") or "0", PHP casts
it as TRUE. (See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php#language.types.boolean.casting
for more details).

So, this conditional is always true (assuming andrea and tommy are
wrapped in string delimters so that they are strings; it could be
possible that you have defined constants called jim, andrea, and tommy,
in which case you don't need the quotes - in any case, the same basic
principle applies - the == operator only applies to jim). Even if $name
= 'Bob', your conditional will evaluate to TRUE, and your code block
will execute. I suspect this is not the behavior you want.

As an earlier poster suggested, the best way to do this would be to use
the in_array construct, which tests to see if the first value is in the
array specified as the second value.

if (in_array($name, array("jim", "andrea", "bob")))
{
//code here
}

If you put an opening brace after that, you'll get a parse error. You're
also treating andrea and john as constants, which I'm guessing isn't
what you mean. I think you were wanting:

if ($name == 'andrea' || $name == 'john')

If you have a bunch of these conditions, a switch might be convenient:

switch ($name)
{
     case 'andrea':
     case 'john':
     case 'chris':
     case 'rasmus':
     case 'andi':
     case 'zeev':
         echo 'The name was one of those';
         break;
     default:
         echo 'The name wasn't one of those';
}

Hope that helps.

Hi,
I have a mysql database where i store a user name and date when he registered. The date format is like this 2005-03-17 02:41:51.

How can i found out how many minutes passed from the date he registered till now.

store the date as a 'unix timestamp', so you can easily compare
the stored timestamp with the current timestamp, by doing a
simple calculation you can get the duration in minutes without

foreach($names as $name) {

age and one for the correponding name e.g.

$age = array() // this is the inputed textbox values
$name= array('john', 'bob', 'tim')

Then I need to assign the the ages to cookie of the persons name by using a
for or do-while loop.

loop{
if (isset($age[x])){setcookie("cookie[ $name[x] ]", "$age[x]");}
else {
setcookie("cookie[ name[x] ]", "");}

attached mail follows:

I would be tempted to do the following.

First, I would setup the html form so that the text boxes are named
something like 'age[Andrea]', 'age[Bob]', etc. When the form submitted,
this will give you an array, accessible as $_POST['age'] (or
$_GET['age'] depending on whether you used POST or GET form submission
method).

This array would look like ("Andrea" => "25", "Bob" => "13", etc).

Then, I would use the following:

foreach($_POST['age'] as $name => $age)
{
setcookie("cookie[$name]", $age);
}

Although, unfortunately, this approach you take of using seperate
cookies for all your different stored value is what I call cookie bloat.
I would suggest you look at PHP's built-in session handling facilities.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

The way the session handling works is, in a nutshell, at the start of
each of your scripts, you call session_start(). Then, you can access
session variables as $_SESSION['name']. You can use the isset() operator
to test to see if you already set a session variable, and you can use
any of the normal access methods to manipulating the variable. You
assign to it with $_SESSION['name'] = "value", you can get the value
just by using $_SESSION['name'] anywhere you would otherwise use a
variable or constant (e.g. if($_SESSION['ages']['Andrea'] > 18) {echo
"You have been selected for Jury duty.";}.

(All this assumes your hosting provider has setup PHP for you, and
configured the session handler. If that is not the case, then cookies
might be an easier way to go. Depending on how ambitious you feel, and
how much control you have of your site, you might also setup session
handling yourself - it's not incredibly difficult, just read the
documentation).

With that in mind, I would alter my above code to be the following:

foreach($_POST['age'] as $name => $age)
{
$_SESSION['age'][$name] = $age;
}

attached mail follows:

Yeah, after hitting the send button, I looked again at what I sent and
realized something else. Having already caused PHP to put the stuff into
an array, by the way I suggested constructing the form, you can
eliminate the foreach loop, and just use the assignment operator to get
PHP to copy the array from $_POST to $_SESSION (although, you might want
to do some validation code, in which case you probably do want to use
the foreach block, so that you have a chance to validate each of the
submitted values, and the keys [sometimes it's usefull to validate the
keys, to check to see if someone has forged a form submission with
values other than what they are supposed to be using]).

But, assuming you aren't worried about validating, you could do like this:

$_SESSION['age'] = $_POST['age'];

But, honestly, I would still use the foreach loop, check the values of
$name and $age to make sure they are legal, and in the correct format,
and then assign them individually, as before.

Thanks for all your replies.

I liked Jeffs approach as it was more straightforward and using
age[Andrea] for the texboxes creates les confusion when doing the foreach
statement.

I didn't quite get the cookie vs session bit. Are you saying they [cookies]
use greater resources?

Let's look at your two setcookie() calls:

setcookie("cookie[andrea]", "$andrea")
setcookie("cookie[$andrea]", "")

Just for debugging purposes, assume $andrea is initialized prior to this
as follows:

$andrea = 29;

So, your code says that you want a cookie with the following name and
value (available on the next request):

$_COOKIE['cookie[andrea]'] = 29;

Is that really what you want?

Of course, it's very odd that if $andrea is not set, you want a cookie
like this:

$_COOKIE['cookie[]'] = '';

In addition, you will be generating a notice, because you're using
$andrea in the name of the cookie, although you're first making certain
that $andrea isn't set.

I'm also a bit concerned about where $andrea originates. Is this coming
from the user, and you're trusting it? That's a very dangerous practice.

If you explain your problem, we might be able to offer some help.

Whatever you are making available in the required file sql.php, it is
not accessible by the function shit_func. Define the connection string
or whatever as a global inside function shit_func and it should work,
else make the connection within the function - not such a good idea...

Test for a lock file when the script starts, and remove it when the
script ends. This isn't 100% reliable, but it's the typical solution to
this problem. If the script fails, the lock file may not be removed
(ever have a Mozilla browser crash and tell you the default profile is
locked?), so be careful with your error handling!

<?php

Apparently PHP looked for XML/sql2xml.php in the folder . and the folder
/usr/local/lib/php. However, it wasn't in either of those places. So
either change your include_path or move the include to a directory in
your include_path.

Yes, you tried to serialize some object. But rather than *not*
serializing the object, what you really want to do is to fix your
__sleep function. Serializing objects is "A Good Thing." (tm)

I don't know what your class is, but you need __sleep to return an array
of class properties. Certainly you can look at the last code example
that I provided and figure out how to do that. Or at least I hope that
you can ;)

Now this is interesting... so you're telling me that all I have to do to
get you to stop emailing me, is to bounce back all of your messages?
Sure I'll have to forge a few headers to make it look like the mail
server daemon didn't recognize my address... but THAT sounds like time
well spent!!!

OK, OK, I'm being a little harsh here. Because after all you're sending
emails to customers that have at least opted-in (or so I hope). But
there are so many shady ways of getting someone to opt-in, or making it
hard to opt-out, or just plain harvesting emails and ignoring the wishes
of the users.

So yeah, sometimes when I hear about these things it just rubs me the
wrong way. To anyone reading this: please use these techniques
judiciously if you use them at all.

 echo "<li><a href = sess_downloads_p2.php?$row[0]>$row[1]</a></li>";

where $row[0] is a filename like filename.pdf

But when sess_download_p2.php loads in browser the URL has ...&PHPSESSID=(rand number)

Thanks for any help

This may be a stupid question. If it is, could somebody do a one line reply

I've gone through about 45 pages of archives trying to glean anything useful
out of it, and either it's the same answer or the version is about 4 years

Subject: [PHP] Encrypted 2.5+M files do upload, but don't create a record
when stored as LongBlobs (PHP/Apache/MySQL)

Files under 2.5 megs will go into the database just fine, any thing over
that will return the page without errors, but will not be injected into the
database. Not even a record is created.

Edited PHP.INI to allow up to 40M of data to be uploaded. Set the script
timeout to be 9000 seconds. Set the script operational memory to 80M. I
did a print_r of $_FILES and the results show that there is a file in the
tmp directory, but I'm not sure after that if there is a problem with mcrypt
or MySQL. I did read something about a limitation of MySQL and max packet
size between server and client, but only 4.1 or less is mentioned with that.
I also switched from the fopen/fread combo and did file_get_contents
instead, as it was recommended to be more efficient.

Otherwise I'm clueless. Google gives me a metric tonne of information, but
it is mostly people asking the same question I am with recommendations on
editing the PHP.INI. Obviously this is a useful script that many people
have written in their own way for their own needs, and I'm sure they've run
into the same problem I'm encountering now.

Using MySQL 5.0.2, PHP 5, newest mcrypt, mhash, Apache 2, FC 3, it is on

It's not a stupid question, it's just that the people that have read it
so far (including me) don't really know the answer. I seem to recall
that Raditha Dissanayake had an upload script that let you do larger
uploads... just look in the archives for his messages and look for the
link in his signature.

That looks almost like an HTML entity:

Assuming that's what it is, and you just left off the semicolon, you can
decode it with this:

html_entity_decode()

Hope that helps.

Yes, if you are going to use Apache2, use the prefork MPM.

given the array you printed above:

<?php

foreach ($new_array as $k => $v) {
echo "<tr><td>{$k}</td><td>{$v}</td></tr>";
}

you create a single array for each line of the csv file. each array
contains one item. what you have done is assign the first field's value as the key of the
array item, and the second field's value as the array items value.

$t = array( "R" => "ABC company"); // array with 1 item, using associative key
var_dump($t[ "R" ],$t[ 0 ]);

$t = array( "R" , "ABC company"); // array with 2 items, using implicit numeric keys
var_dump($t[ "R" ],$t[ 0 ]);

Yes, the link is http://www.radinks.com/upload/config.php

file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 40M
max_input_time = 9000 (seconds)
memory_limit (not limited, per handload config, from source)
max_execution_time = 9000 (seconds)
post_max_size = 40M

also, hidden INPUT tag MAX_FILE_SIZE with value="40000", which I'm guessing
needs it in kilobytes.

Radditha has a pretty sweet upload script going on there.. however, not sure
if it contains the same security requirements I've got.

Per GLBA requirements, my data has to be stored no more than 48 hours and
must be encrypted with 128-bit or higher algorithms. I'm starting to
suspect that I have more lists I've got to sign up with, as it may be MCRYPT
or MySQL that is barfing because of it.

If that is all I can tweak in PHP, then I'm definitely hitting a dead-end on
this list.

Thank you for your time.

a few thoughts:

1. you have a date in both calendars which represent the same day?
and/or rather what is day zero in the egyptian calendar in the gregorian
calendar?

2. maybe you should store the date internally as number of days since zero,
where zero is the first day on the egyptian calendar ......

er, checking this thread again, Richard Lynch puts it better than I can so
I'll just let you read his answer (again?) and hope it helps!

oh one last thing: I notice that in the function you posted you did this:

     # Calculating the year in Egypt.
     $yr_Egypt = floor($EgyptianDays / 769);
     # Calculating the Month in Egypt.
     $mnt_Egypt = round( ($EgyptianDays-($yr_Egypt*769)) / 63 );
     # Calculating the Day in Egypt.
     $dy_Egypt = round( $EgyptianDays - (($yr_Egypt * 769) + ($mnt_Egypt * 63)) );
     # Filling the date array variable with the day, month and year of the
     Egyptian calendar.
     $ec_date["Day"] = $dy_Egypt;
     $ec_date["Month"] = $mnt_Egypt;
     $ec_date["Year"] = $yr_Egypt;
     # Returning the Calculated date.
     return $ec_date;

which could be written more succinctly as:

     /* Calculating the year,month,day in Egypt and returning. */
     return array (
             "Year" => ($y = floor( $EgyptianDays / 769 )),
             "Month" => ($m = round( ($EgyptianDays - ($y * 769)) / 63 )),
             "Day" => round( $EgyptianDays - (($y * 769) + ($m * 63)) ),
     );

that might inspire you to use less variables in your code, which is a good thing - but in this
case completely beside the point. whats less beside the point is that you use floor() for the year
and round() for the day and month, I wonder if it helps if you use floor() for all 3?

beware of floating point rounding errors, compare:

<?php

$EgyptianDays = 10345;

var_dump(

array(
     "Year" => ($y = floor( $EgyptianDays / 769 )),
     "Month" => ($m = floor( ($EgyptianDays - ($y * 769)) / 63 )),
     "Day" => floor( $EgyptianDays - (($y * 769) + ($m * 63)) ),
),

array(
     "Year" => ($y = floor( $EgyptianDays / 769 )),
     "Month" => ($m = round( ($EgyptianDays - ($y * 769)) / 63 )),
     "Day" => round( $EgyptianDays - (($y * 769) + ($m * 63)) ),
)

);

kind regards,
Jochem

Subject: [PHP] FreeBSD php upgrade oddity - can't load dynamic libraries

I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1, and last night I cvsupped to the latest
ports.

This afternoon, I proceeded to upgrade PHP from 5.0.1 to 5.0.3.
But I kept getting these errors when restarting apache that it could not
find various shared libraries in /usr/local/lib/php/20041030

I see that I'm supposed to have such a directory, but what I do have is
a /usr/local/lib/php/20040412 instead. (Pointing to that directory in
php.ini clearly is not the answer.)

Similar errors appear when running from the command line:

I've always known that you can specify a domain when you set a cookie,
and for kicks I experimented with a test page setting a cookie for the
yahoo.com. Seems to me that browsers wouldn't allow this as it could
create any number of security problems. I tried the following code, and
the yahoo cookie did not get set, as I expected, and the
briandunning.com cookie did (that's my site). I made sure that my
browser's settings were set to allow all cookies, including those from
other sites.

<?php
setcookie('test', 'anything', time()+31536000, '/', '.yahoo.com');
setcookie('test', 'anything', time()+31536000, '/',
'.briandunning.com');
?>

Question: why didn't this work, is it supposed to work the way I was
trying, and if not, then what is that domain variable there for???
