Add a header("Content-type: text/css") to the top of it, so that the
web-server isn't LYING to Mozilla and telling it that you're sending
it an HTML file?
Only IE would be STOOPID and look at the URL and the file contents and
decide to ignore the headers.
text/css may not be right. Whatever.

That's one possible use.
Really, though, once your CSS is dynamic as well as your HTML, life
can be quite fun. :-)
Or, perhaps, if your so-called web Designer left NO CONSISTENT SPACE
on the layout for ERROR MESSAGES in a dynamic site, you might, just as
a hypothetical example, have something like:
<?php
$error_position = array(10, 10, 500, 200);
head('Page 1');
?>
Then, in the .css file, you'd be using $error_position to cram the
messages into an overflow: auto; at the $error_position, unique to
each page, where the so-called designer left you any white space at
all.
Not that this ever happened to me, oh no.
http://ralphsworld.com/
:-)
PS I embedded the CSS, actually, as I don't trust browser caching to
"know" that the CSS is also dynamic and changing.

You mean everybody doesn't run their CSS through PHP so they can make
it do what they want for each page?
How odd... :-)

But if eval is the answer, you are probably doing something entirely
the wrong way.

Thanks for the follow-up Richard. I am now bracketing my Fusebox core
includes with ob_start("ob_gzhandler") and ob_end_flush(). It's done
wonders for those large query results. And since there is absolutely
nothing in this app that relies on multiple contiguous whitespace

Like, when you do FTP, do you see:
index.htm
page2.htm
page3.htm
right away?
*OR*, do you see:
public_html
And then you do "cd public_html" and THEN you see the files?
If you don't do "cd public_html" then I really don't think accepting
file uploads is a Good Idea, unless you have access to /tmp or
something to put the files in...
If you do "cd public_html" then you actually HAVE space outside your
webtree. Just do "mkdir uploads" and "chmod 777 uploads" *BEFORE* you
do "cd public_html" and you'll have an uploads dir outside the webtree
where you can put stuff.
NOTE:
Some fancy FTP tools like DreamWeaver and whatnot will convince you to
put "public_html" into some input box somewhere, to give you the
convenience of not needing to "cd public_html" -- which then means you
never *SEE* that you have space outside your webtree... Stop doing
that. An extra click or whatever to get into public_html is not that
big of a deal.

attached mail follows:
For whatever reason when I ftp in using WinFtp I don't see public_html
(it's hidden, don't know why; if I make a directory called
".public_html" it gets created and then disappears), but I can see my
file structure from my host's website and so I know that when I ftp in
to myDomain.com this is what is "there":
index.htm
page1.htm
page2.htm
.public_html/
images/
etc. etc.
Currently nothing is stored in my .public_html directory since it is
not my root (and my website loads just fine when browsed to).
I don't ftp in from DreamWeaver and it isn't an issue of going
straight to public_html just to skip the cd step. public_html just
isn't set up as my root directory and I have no directories accessable
that are higher than my root.
So, since I have no access to directories outside of my root, do you
really think I should change that before allowing file uploads?
(either by changing servers or just bugging my server adminstrator
until he changes it). I currently check extension type and then image
type using get_image_size(); and also files with image extensions are
not executable on the server. However, from what I've read I
understand that those steps are the minimum in terms of file upload
security.
Also, I'd be curious still to hear why I can browse to a file in a
directory that has been set with chmod 0100. I really didn't expect
that.
Thanks again very much for your thoughts,
Andy

Sounds like cheap b-one hosting of sorts...
thoughts? yes dont use it... Yer site will probably quickly become a playing
ground for other than yerself. A file have to stay inside a quarantined area
for a sanity check before let loose on the system.
Probably the cache of the browser ... for the I can see the page stuff. dunno.
But as I said: Change yer hosting, to something useable and safe.

You can do this in .htaccess under Apache, or with ini_set (which
would have to be in <?php ?>
But you SHOULD NOT DO THIS
Nobody else on the planet is using <% for PHP, and it's unlikely to be
all that useful to you.

Any particular place on that page I should be looking? I've read it several
times and didn't see anything like the above. The closest thing I saw were
actual methods called setBob() and getBob(), which isn't exactly what I'm
looking for...

well, perhaps I'm not seeing what it is that you're looking for. The
page I sent you is a basic introduction to classes and OOP in PHP,
which based on the example that you've provided seemed like what you
wanted. It seems obvious that you want to learn more about OOP, but
are you trying to find a specific 'bob' example or would you just like
some help understanding OOP? What is the end result you're hoping to
get out of the list?.....Google also provided these results, which
might help you if a specific example is what you're looking for:

So the only way I can do anything like this is by implementing the __get()
and __set() methods? There is no attribute/property construct that is
similar to the sample code in my OP?

No, I'm not sure you are. Take a look at my sample code again. Pay
particular attention to how both $bob and $Bob are defined.
class MyClass {
private $bob;
public $Bob {
set( $var ) {
$this->bob = $var;

ok, so if we were talking Java, perhaps you are looking for
information that allows you to build 'accessor' and 'mutator' methods?
If so, then your example should work (syntax aside). Here's another
'test' example that I just whipped up and tested that shows you can
use any method name you wish.
<?php
class test {
private $thing;
function setThing($val) {
$this->thing = $val;
}
function getThing() {
return $this->thing;
}
}
$t = new test;
// Show that thing is empty
print $t->getThing() . "\n";
// Set thing to 'Thing'
$t->setThing('Thing');
// show that thing contains 'Thing'
print $t->getThing() . "\n";
?>
If I'm still on the wrong path I apologize. I probably shouldn't be

If you told us which particular feature in that pile of code you're

I still wouldn't know the answer, as I don't do OOP in PHP much, but

Yes, exactly. I was flipping through a PHP5 book (possibly a magazine, but
it was definitely about PHP5 and not Java) and I saw this new language
construct. Since I've done a bit of dabbling in C#, have used it there and
found it useful, I thought it was really cool that PHP5 had implemented it.

I think you need the PDI functions for that, at least in PDFlib, and
that costs money, I believe...
There may be other solutions.
Generating the whole PDF is one.
FDF, where you layer a FORM over a PDF is another solution for some
needs.
Here is an article I wrote about FDF way long time ago:

> Can someone explain how and why you would use a symlink in php?
A symlink is the Un*x version of a Windows "shortcut" or the Mac's
"alias"
The difference being that a symlink actually *works* and a Windows
"shortcut" is useless for anything except their crappy desktop app...
As far as usefulness goes, it's pretty wide-open, and not at all tied
into PHP, per se, in a general sense...
I mean, any time you've got some long complicated
/path/to/somewhere/deep/in/your/system and you want to get there with
out typing all that you can do:
ln -s /path/to/somewhere/deep/in/your/system short
Now you can just use 'short' instead of all that other stuff.
[Assuming you start in the same dir where 'short' lives.]
There is *ONE* thing I've been doing that's very PHP specific that I
think is useful for a symlink...
cd public_html
ln -s . edit
Now, in the PHP code, I do like this:
<?php
//Force administrators to authenticate
if (strstr($PHP_SELF, '/edit/')) require 'authenticate';
if (stristr($PHP_SELF, '/edit/') && isset($_POST['whatever'])){
//do queries to update the content
}
//get the content:
$query = "SELECT ... ";
//Display content:
if (strstr($PHP_SELF, '/edit/')) ?><form method="POST"><?php
...
if (strstr($PHP_SELF, '/edit/')){
?>
<input name="whatever" value="<?php echo $whatever?>" />
<?php
}
else echo $whatever;
?>
What's the point, you ask?
Well, *NOW* instead of having an ugly non-intuitive layout for the CMS
for the site owner, they see the SAME layout, with everyting in the
SAME place, except they have INPUT boxes instead of just text.
This makes it MUCH more intuitive for them to edit their site, as they
just surf to /edit/ and then navigate to what they want to edit, the
same as it is on their site.
The whole thing looks exactly the same, except that they have bits
they can edit, that everybody else just sees as text.
I don't have duplicate code for layout for the site and the edit site,
so I've got very high code re-use, and don't have to make parallel
changes.
Combine this with some nice CSS and a clean layout, and it gets very
very nice.
It drastically cuts down (like, to zero) the confusion over how to
change what in the site -- and they never have to contact me to ask
how to change this or that, or what this little bit here over in
"admin" actually does. They *see* what it does, because they see it
just like it is in their public site.

Fair enough.
Prime Number Script Competition ( for Bragging Rights ).
I challenge the readers of this list to produce the necessary code to find
the lowest prime number higher than a certain inputted number.
The script must be web based, and ask the user to enter a number. The script
must then calculate the lowest Prime Number above that number.
Scripts will be rated on Functional Accuracy ( the program must correctly
perform its required function ), Code Maintainability(eg Presence of
Comments, etc ), Ease of Use, and Code Efficiency, in that order. Brownie
points may be earned through use interesting or original ideas or
methodologies, provided they do not compromise the previous four criteria.
The submitted script will be rated by volunteers from this list. Submitting
an entry disqualifys you as a volunteer judge, whilst judging someone elses
code disqualifys you as a candidate. Deadline for submissions is 12:00
(Noon) (CEST UTC + 2 Hours) on Friday 29 September.
Interesting to see (a) if anyone enters, and (b) what the code will be like.
I think it would be a lot of fun if well executed.

I would like to have one point clarified:
By "above that number" do you literally mean > or would >= be deemed
the correct interpretation?
E.g. for an input of '2' do you expect '2' or '3' as the answer?
Or is our ability to correctly interpret this as > part of the

Whoops - sorry replied directly to Richard instead of to the list.
Submission process is simply to post to the list. It's probably a good idea
( and acceptable ) to just post an SHA1(MD5 for this purpose is compromised)
hash of your code before the deadline, and submit your actual code shortly
after the deadline.
The result must be greater than the input. For 2 as an input, I'd expect 3
as output.

You should be able to retrieve the cookies from the response headers.
Then you just need to resend them. There may be an option for cURL to do
this automatically. Search for cookie at the following link (check the

Use cURL's own cookie handling features.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '/tmp/cookies.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '/tmp/cookies.txt');
That will store the cookies in the file and read them from there next
time. /tmp may or may not be a suitable location.

In subversion this is very easy. The top level names "trunk", "branches"
and "tags" are just convensions used in subversion and it's generally a
good idea to use these are your root folders.
Just think about subversion as a big filesystem the base is / (or D:\ if
you're a windows person). In that base you have three folders trunk,
branches and tags. Inside the /trunk folder you can create a folder for
any given project.
If you want to branch, you just copy the /trunk/myproject/ folder to
e.g. /branches/myproject/bigchangeforboss/
You can then checkout the branch and work happily on implementing large
changes, commiting them as normal.
In a different location, you can also checkout /trunk/myproject/ and do
the little changes.
If you want those littel changes to also go into the branch, it's just a
simple matter of using the svn merge command to effectivly copy the
changes you made in trunk to your branch. This is just a matter of
saying "I want the changes made in trunk between revision x and revision
y to be applied to my local checkout of this branch". The changes are
merged into you checkout (it's best to do merges when you have no
uncommited changes in your checkout). You will then have quite simply a
local repository with changes to the files. You then just have to commit
them with a relevent log message: e.g. svn commit -m "Merged revisions
x-y from trunk."
Hope that helps.
