Okay, last attempt before I hit my head against wall. I thought perhaps
to add the error check to the dropdown function itself:
function GetQuestionsDropdown($cat){
//first get all the questions
$sql = "SELECT * FROM questions WHERE questions.q_cat=$cat AND
questions.q_style=1";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
//now one-by-one go through the questions
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
//if the form has been submitted, and the question unanswered
//highlight this whole question and answer block in red.
if ($message[$row['q_name']] == 1){
echo "<div class='error'>";
}
//Make a question set div wrapper
echo "<div class='q_set'>\n";
//State the question
echo "<div class='question'>";
echo $row['q_text'] . "</div>";
echo "\n\n";
echo " <div class='answer'>";
echo "\n";
//Create the dropdown for the answers
echo ' <select name="' . $row['q_name'] . '">';
echo "\n";
//get all of the answers for THIS question
$ans_sql = "select * from answers where answers.q_id=" . $row['q_id'];
$ans_result = mysql_query($ans_sql);
echo " <option value=\"\">Select from this list</option>\n";
while($ans_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ans_result)) {
//list the answers for THIS question
echo " <option ";
echo "value=\"" . $ans_row['a_id'] . "\"";
if ($row['q_name'] == $ans_row['a_id']) {
echo " selected";
}
echo ">" . $ans_row['a_answer'] . "</option>";
echo "\n";
}
echo ' </select>' . "\n" . ' </div>' . "\n";
echo "</div><!--q_set-->\n\n";
//If there *was* an error div, close it
if (sizeof($message[$row['q_name']])){
echo "</div><!--/error-->";
}
//error checking
if ( !strcmp($action,'process') ) {
if(empty($_POST[$row['q_name']])){
$message[$row['q_name']] == "1";
}
}
}
}//function GetQuestionsDropdown
it didn't work either.

Hi list,
I need to redirerect a page, and send the referer information along
with the redirect. I have tried:
header("Location: $url");
and
print"<html><head><meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0; URL=$url'
/></head></html>";
Both of them redirect as expected, but the browser (Firefox and Opera)
do not send referer information along with the request. As this is for
link affiliates, I need that referer info sent with the request. How
to do that? Thanks.

URL parameters.
$url="www.somesite.org?id=asdf&referrer=2345";
header("Location: $url");
attached mail follows:
To obtain a certain portion of the referring url you might look at
parse_url();
See http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php
- or -
If you want to bounce the user right back to the previous page
including get variables you could just use this snippet.
<?php
$referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
header("Location: " . $referrer);
exit;
?>

I must have not phased the question well. I have a page on
http://lyricslist.com that links to http://song-lirics.com and it is
very important that the request to http://song-lirics.com has the
referer part of the request intact. There is no id=xxx or whatever,
the server at http://song-lirics.com looks at the $HTTP_REFERER to
grant points. That works great when on http://lyricslist.com I do a
simple <a href='~'>lyrics</a> to http://song-lirics.com, but I don't
want to do that. Instead, I link to another page on
http://lyricslist.com so that I can record how many people clicked on
the link, and then I want to redirect to http://song-lirics.com
It's just that with the two redirect methods that I know of (header
and meta), the request to http://song-lirics.com gets there with no
referer information, as if the user typed in the address.
If you want to see it, click:
http://song-lirics.com/sl/goto.php/4
You will be redirected to http://dotancohen.com
Look at the source code, in the first few lines you will see:
<!--
Refferer:
User_Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10)
Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6
Time: July 30, 2005, 12:36 pm
-->
No referer! Try clicking around http://dotancohen.com and look at the
source code: they all have referers!

I have a PHP script that I need to run once a day. I have it currently
setup so that I just run it from my cell phone, but I would prefer something
automated. I'd looked into a cron job, but that just looks like it's for
doing linux command line stuff on my host.
I also thought about writing a never ending while loop with an if statement
that checks to see if it's time to run the script, then when it is time, it
runs. Then checks to see if it's time again.
But even assuming I could get it working, do I really want to have a PHP
script that runs all the time. This could be bad if it ate up all the CPU on
my server. I'm not even sure I have access rights to kill the process once I
start it.
Any suggestions?

You don't state what OS you are using, but you certainly can use cron under
Linux to run a PHP script. What really matters is what does the PHP script do?
For example, I have a PHP script that I run periodically that retrieves data
from a database and updates a text file on the disk. What does your script do?

In my pevious hunt through cron I didn't even notice the PHP CLI. So I will be figuring that out today probably.
My server runs on Linux. Not sure which distro though. I'll have to ask.
My script will be getting e-mail addresses from my SQL db and sending them a pic of the day. I got the HTML MimeMail 2.5.1 to work perfectly, now I just need to figure out how to make it run without me doing anything.
Thanks!

Unless you have a shebang line ("#!/path/to/php/binary")at the top of
your script, you will have to preface your script's path in your cron
entry with the location of the PHP binary:
0 1 1,15 * * /path/to/php/binary /root/scripts/System_Dump.php
Matt Darby
attached mail follows:
You can "cron" the script to run.
Do the following:
1) Add #!/usr/bin/php as the first line on your .php file. If
/usr/bin/php isn't where your php binary lives, type "whereis php" to
find out
2) Make sure you chmod +x your php script.

If your script needs to be run by the webserver - if for some reason
cli won´t work for you, then you could always automate a call to the
webserver using wget.
You can get wget for win32 as well as Unix/Linux, so you shouldn´t
have any problems here.

Schedule a task to open IE or FF and pass a url to the task . That's it. The

And how do you automate closing the browser when it's job is done? I
believe the wget method mentioned earlier might be more appropriate.
Even Lynx for Windows set to dump output (rather than stay open for
browsing) would be better than leaving IE or FF open.

I can't figure out how to get into command line access through my webhost.
I've tried telnet and it fails.
My host uses cPanel. When I setup the crontab it e-mails me back this
response:
/bin/sh: public_html/wap/mailer/dailylist.php: /usr/bin/php
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I'm assuming that it means it can't find "/user/bin/php"
I ran a "whereis php" through a cronjob and got this:
php: /usr/src/php-4.3.8/php.ini-recommended /usr/src/php-4.3.8/php.ini-dist
/usr/src/php-4.3.8/php.gif /usr/src/php-4.3.8/php4.spec
/usr/src/php-4.3.10/php.ini-recommended /usr/src/php-4.3.10/php.ini-dist
/usr/src/php-4.3.10/php.gif /usr/src/php-4.3.10/php4.spec /usr/bin/php
/usr/lib/php /usr/lib/php.ini /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/lib/php
/usr/local/lib/php.ini /usr/include/php
I tried them all except the ones with "src" And still get the same message,
but of course it doesn't say /user/bin/php, it says whichever one I put in
the file.
Now the main PHP file calls to 3 other PHP files in it. Do I need to put
that at the top of each of them as well. I didn't think so because they
aren't being executed. They are called using the include statement.
Also when I use #!/usr/include/php I get the response back from the cron
job, but when I use "#!/usr/include/php -q" like the tutorial says nothing
happens. What does the "-q" do?

You can "cron" the script to run.
Do the following:
1) Add #!/usr/bin/php as the first line on your .php file. If
/usr/bin/php isn't where your php binary lives, type "whereis php" to
find out
2) Make sure you chmod +x your php script.

No, but you will need to use one of the following for them:
include()
include_once()
require()
require_once()

My include statment looks like this:
include "sending.php";
The ones from MimeMail are:
are include(); and require_once();
Heres the response I get when using /usr/local/bin/php:
/bin/sh: public_html/wap/mailer/dailylist.php: /usr/local/bin/php
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
Maybe I'm messing up my syntax. I have:
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
my code
?>
I did notice that when I FTP into my site I can not get to /usr or any of
its' subfolders. Could this be an access issue?

attached mail follows:
I am trying to start using functions on some pages to layout a header
row in a table.
I have defined the function as below...
<?php
function (headerrow)
{ ?>
<table width="750" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
bgcolor="#FF0066">
<tr>
<td class="table_head"><?php echo $tablehead; ?></td>
<td width="20"><img src="/nav/images/pspromo_table_rhs.gif"
width="20" height="20"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
}
?>
What I can't seem to work out is a way to set the text. Here I've
echoed the $tablehead value, but it I was to use more than one table
on the same page then it wouldn't work. Can I do something like
headerrow(text goes here) or something?
I can't understand the use of arguments and it's really confusing me!
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
attached mail follows:
I would recomend for sanity and clean code that you define your functions
outside of the file you will be calling it from and include that file in any
file you need to call a function from.
Here's a function that I defined in my db.php file.
/***********************************************************
* FUNCTION: DBCheckByMin($min)
* DESCRIPTION: Checks to see if the user's min already exists
* RETURNED: exist (1 or 0)
**********************************************************/
function DBCheckByMin($min)
{
$record = mysql_query( "SELECT `min` FROM `user` WHERE `min` LIKE '$min'" );
for($i=0; $holder[$i]=mysql_fetch_array( $record ); $i++);
if($min==$holder[0][0])
{
$exist=1;
}
else
{
$exist=0;
}
return $exist;
}
The first line of the file I call this function in includes my function
list:
include "db.php";
And my call to the function itself:
$check=DBCheckByMin($min);
Let's say my user is entering his MIN as "1234567890"
What the function does is catch the value of the variable $min which is
1234567890 when it's called and pass it to the function. Then DBCheckByMin
takes the value 1234567890 and assignes it to the variable $min. (I've named
both variables the same so I know what they are) Now that the function has
it's own variable, $min that has a value of "1234567890" It then does some
basic SQL work to find if that MIN already exists in my databse. Then it
sets $exist to either 1 or 0. It sets it to 1 if this is a duplicate entry
and 0 if it's not a duplicate. And let's just say that it did indeed find a
duplicate record so $exist will have the value of 1. Next on the return
line, the function sends back the value of $exist which is 1. Please
remember when I called the function I had a variable before the function was
called "$check=DBCheckByMin($min);" This way $check will catch whatever
value the function returns, in this case, that value is 1. Now that check
has a value which indicates that this user already exists I can send a
message to the user saying that it already exists and to try again.
Did that make a bit more sense about how variables are passed between
functions? It's all in the call and definition.

Subject: [PHP] Help with Functions
I am trying to start using functions on some pages to layout a header
row in a table.
I have defined the function as below...
<?php
function (headerrow)
{ ?>
<table width="750" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
bgcolor="#FF0066">
<tr>
<td class="table_head"><?php echo $tablehead; ?></td>
<td width="20"><img src="/nav/images/pspromo_table_rhs.gif"
width="20" height="20"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
}
?>
What I can't seem to work out is a way to set the text. Here I've
echoed the $tablehead value, but it I was to use more than one table
on the same page then it wouldn't work. Can I do something like
headerrow(text goes here) or something?
I can't understand the use of arguments and it's really confusing me!
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

You're declaring your function wrong.
You're doing:
function (function_name)
You should be doing
function function_name($arg1, $arg2, $arg3) // with as many comma
seperated arguments as you want.
or if you don´t want to pass any arguments
function function_name()
Try this out:
function make_table($arg1, $arg2){
?>
<table>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $arg1; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $arg2; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
}
note that I have to go back into PHP twice to get the variables.
I could also (although tbh you should wait until you have more
experience before you read on)
function make_table($arg1, $arg2){
echo <<<ENDOFTABLE
<table>
<tr>
<td>$arg1</td>
<td>$arg2</td>
</tr>
</table>
ENDOFTABLE;
}

Thanks guys for all your help.
I've managed to get it working.
I tried calling the function from within the file and it turned out
that somehow I had messed up my include statement.
I understood about adding argument variables to the syntax, but I
needed to add a text argument as I couldn't think of a way of setting
the variable in a way that I could distinguish between different
values for different tables on the same page.
Anyway, thanks to you all for taking some time to help me out.

i know i shouldn't rely on mime types for file verification but anyways..
I use application/zip which works fine on firefox and only allows zips..
however, on Internet explorer it doesn't work since IE returns
application/x-zip-compressed for zips.. problem with this is it also
allow rar files.. so even checking mime types is just as useless as not
using it.. one mime type allows two different file types. pffft.

This is what it needs to do!
The first tag that is found will set where the parser will insert '<!-- /
sc' before that tag. Any bbcode tags that are in the current tag will be
skipped over until the parser finds the end of the current bbcode tag it is
working on. Once it finds the end of the current tag it will insert 'sc
/ -->' after the end of the current tag. It will continue doing this until
no tags are left to be parsed in the string!
My script is below....
My question...
Is there a better way to do this?

Hi all
We develop our software with built-in debug handlers that are very talkative.
Each class registers itself to a central debug handler. When a conditional
define NODEBUG is set, that debughandler just does a return null but
obviously it takes time to perform that call.
We are thinking of doing a search/replace on the source to replace all
$this->debug('...'); with a ; because if I would replace it with a # it would
generate errors in cases like this:
if(conditions ....)
$this->debug('something...');
So here is the question:
Are there any reasons against doing this kind of replace, or is anyone aware
of a better solution?
With kind regards
Andy

asumming replacing the call with ; is valid everywhere it's going to a heck of
a lot faster than calling _any_ function.

1. use a debugger rather than writing lots of code that logs tons of 'cr*p'?
2. always use braces? so that you can do:
if(conditions ....) {
# $this->debug('something...');
}
3. may put special comment markers in your code that allow you
to filter the files when you 'publish' them into a production env.
/*START_DEBUG_BLOCK*/
if(conditions ....)
$this->debug('something...');
/*END_DEBUG_BLOCK*/
i.e strip the blocks completely:
$newFile = preg_replace( '#/\*START_DEBUG_BLOCK\*/.*/\*END_DEBUG_BLOCK\*/#',
'',
file_get_contents( $yourPhpFile ) );

Does the command work when you try it from the command line?
If so, then try shell_exec("env > some_filename") and show us the results.
If not, then the problem is with your command.
First thing I would check is the existance of /usr/local/bin/mogrify
