Note that the following function has not been extensively tested, and
should be treated as such. I wrote this function a long time ago to get
the calling function from a common error routine. You should be able to
modify this to get what you want...

if (strlen($retval) == 0)
return 'unknown';

return $retval.'unknown function';
}

Hope it helps.

unless you are doing something *very* exotic (which almost by definition
means your skills are beyond the point whereby this list could probably help you)
there should be *no* reason for a function to ever need to know who/what/where it was
called from/by ... of course in the process of developing something like debug_backtrace()
can be very handy for helping to figure out what is going on!

that said if a function seems to need to know who called it (or anything like that)
then you probably have a bad smell in your design .. consider that a function does
something according to it's input, and that the output of a function should be predictable [given
a particular set of input parameters) then the caller, it's environment/start and/or the
execution path should have no baring on the function's result - if they did then the function's
result could no longer be considered predictable (unless your going to memorize every execution-path/state
in your application now and in the future!).

having said all that there are probably some exceptions to the rule - although I can't think
of any right now.

there are none - although I did read a thread on the internals mailing list that
mentioned something along these lines in the form of a request ... unlikely that it
will be included.

alternatively run 2 apaches and use the ProxyPass directive to make the second
apache 'available' via the first (meaning you don't have to mess around with
alternative ports when it comes to actually visiting/using the sites that run
on the second apache.

search the list archives for 'Rasmus' and 'ProxyPass' and you should find
the info needed to setup a 'php4-php5-proxypass'** configuration.

Hi gang:

Thanks for all the advice regarding combining sound files. I shall
look into all of it.

In the meantime, I am trying a different solution and would
appreciate your review of the technique:

http://www.sperling.com/a/c/

The point of this experiment is to "speak" the numbers required for a
CAPTCHA protection scheme.

I've had a few blind users report that this works for them, but
considering all the different platforms and talents on this list, I
thought that I would ask "Does this work (i.e., speak the numbers)
for you?" The numbers to be spoken are printed on the top of this
page for your notice.

If you would be so kind, please review, provide me your platform type
and success.

Thanks.

tedd

PS: What does this have to do with php? Well... a good deal of the
code is php and a mix of a bunch of other stuff (we don't live in a
vacuum) -- so please permit me this indulgence.

yea, same for me... but maybe the variable needs to be defined for anything
to happen, as we are probably supposed to press that before we speak tha
captcha..

yeah, if you enter anything (even incorrect), the captcha gets displayed
instead of the error message.

but the "speak captcha" button still does nothing

Personally, I think this would be quite easy to do in flash... tho' I
don't really know flash, it just seems like the kind of thing it would
be good at :)

Also look at some of the mods for e.g. phpBB, as I'm sure they've got
audible captchas and the like.

try actually using echo or print to output the variable contents to the

If i'm understanding you correctly, you have something like a flat file, and hopefully it is artist[tab]artist[tab] with the title being something like artist1title[tab]artist2title[tab], etc. If so, use explode. $artists = explode("\t", $stringofartists); $songs = explode("\t", $stringoftitles); $i = 0; foreach($artists as $key) { $information[$key] = $songs[$i]; $i++; } I hope this is kind of what you were looking for. [snip] Artist[tab]artist[tab]artist[tab] etc as a entry for "artists" [/snip]

Hello all,

I have a page that has multiple submits on it. One submit is within my
javascriptfor form checking, the other submit is a button used to populate
all customer information if an order ID is entered.

Problem: I cannot get the two to coincide at the same time. They both use
the submit function to send the data to the same page instead of their
unique individual pages.

AFAIK an <input> within an <a> tag will not work ever
why don't you do it the way you do the other submit button? (with
javascript submit();)

What exactly are you wanting the click to do?

Change to the page given in the <a> or submit the form?

Nothing wrong with putting two forms on the same page and each with
their own action and submit button.

You can always add an attribute value (value=1) with each submit
button so that you can determine later which page to redirect your
attention.

When I click on "save" at the bottom, I want it to check my form and submit
all the values. When I click on the "Retrieve" button I want it to submit
my order number to another page, and also carry over the $_POST value of any
field that may have had info entered into it.

However, since I have a form within a form, it is giving me problems.

I always use :

onClick=\"this.form.action='SomeOtherPage.php'; \"

inside the button tag.

Seems to work just fine.

if you want to have the for submitted to a different location, then you
have to use one form, with function that modify the action value and
change it to the correct url and then submit the form.

Okay, I partially figured it out! YAY!

I only needed to have one form object.

*<form name="inputForm" action="" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">*

Instead of putting an action in the form, leave it blank....and then specify
the forms action based on which button is clicked.

*<input type="submit" name="retrieve" value="Retrieve" onclick="
this.form.action='CSPayment3.php';" />*

And this will $_POST all your entered values as it should.

Now all I have to figure out is how to have:

*<a href="javascript:checkForm()" title="Save">Save</a>*

Run through all my form checks and then $_POST to my save.php page.

Change this line:
<a href="javascript:checkForm()" title="Save">Save</a>*
to this
<input type="button" value="Save" />

and then in the <form ...> tag add: onsubmit="checkForm();"

I would also run through your checkForm() function and make sure that it
is returning true or false always.

I believe there is a way to either add paths or change the
include_path directive in your php script, you'll have to look in the
manual:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.php

I'm not too sure about it because I don't rely on the include_path
directive to locate my included files. I always give an absolute path
when I call them, just so I know for sure what I'm getting. To use
your example:

<?php
include '/files/include/foo.php';

// Do something with foo...
?>

instead of:

<?php
include 'foo.php';

// Do something with foo...
?>

there *could* be another 'foo.php' in the path that gets grabbed
before the one you want.

Or you can set a constant to the includes directory:

<?php

define('INCLUDE_DIR', '/files/include');

include INCLUDE_DIR.'foo.php';

// Do something with foo...
?>

By setting a constant to the directory, if you change the location of
the directory, then you only need to change the script in one spot
instead of hunting for all the include calls. Of course if you're
working with someone else's code and *they* are relying on
include_path being set correctly then you're pretty much stuck with
that, unless you want to rewrite their code.

Ooopps... should be define('INCLUDE_DIR', '/files/include/');

forgot the last '/'...

I have a question on how to retrieve the value that corresponds to a
key in an array.

$fruit = array('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana', 'c' => 'cranberry');

                $key = array_search($c, $fruit);
                if ( $key === FALSE )
                        $n = $c;

                        $n = $fruit[$key]; // how to get the value???
                }

the array_search works ok, but how do I get the value?

all I get back is 'a' or 'b', not 'apple' or 'banana'...

TIA
