Re: [PHP] Jpgraph and drop down menus examples
Graham, I'm not sure what jpgraph is but the main question I think your asking doesn't seem to require knowledge of anything more than how to interact with the server without reloading the page. This is actually pretty simple. Let's say that you have a simple page already loaded in your browser and in that page is a form with a drop down list of image titles. At this point no image is loaded for you to see; another thing you don't see is the hidden iframe which we'll title 'portal' since it'll be used as such. Your form will need to have the target attribute set to portal in order for the data to go through it. Something like this: !--The hidden 'portal' iframe-- iframe style=width:0; height:0; display: none; position: absolute; src=/empty.html name=portal/iframe !--The form-- form name=imageChooser method=GET target=portal action=/get_image.php select name=id onChange=javascript:this.submit(); option value=1Image One/option option value=2Image Two/option /select /form !--The area on the page to display the image or error messages-- div id=imageBox/div When the drop down value is changed it will submit the form to get_image.php in the hidden 'portal' frame instead of reloading the page. get_image.php will then return javascript that will be executed automatically by the browser when it loads in the invisible frame. In the event that the user chooses Image One, the js returned could be something like this: script language=JavaScript window.parent.document.getElementById('imageBox').innerHTML=img src=\/images/1.png\ /; /script This would effectively display the image you want in the div layer without reloading the page in a way that is visible to the user. Of course this could also display an error if the image id specified is not found in the database (or file system): script language=JavaScript window.parent.document.getElementById('imageBox').innerHTML=No image to display; /script Hope this was helpful! -Joe Graham Anderson wrote: does anyone have or know of an example where: user chooses values from a couple of drop down boxes dateabase is queries and gives the values to jpgraph jpgraph draws the image on the same html page all the examples I have seen reload the whole page or go to a new page when jpgraph does its thing does an example like this exist ?

RE: [PHP] getting filenames from dir
HI... Do you read php manual sometimes? ;o) just replace echo $file\n; by $my_file_array[]=$file; readdir (PHP 3, PHP 4 , PHP 5) readdir -- read entry from directory handle Description string readdir ( resource dir_handle) Returns the filename of the next file from the directory. The filenames are returned in the order in which they are stored by the filesystem. Please note the fashion in which readdir()'s return value is checked in the examples below. We are explicitly testing whether the return value is identical to (equal to and of the same type as--see Comparison Operators for more information) FALSE since otherwise, any directory entry whose name evaluates to FALSE will stop the loop (e.g. a directory named 0). Example 1. List all files in a directory ?php // Note that !== did not exist until 4.0.0-RC2 if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) { echo Directory handle: $handle\n; echo Files:\n; /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */ while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { echo $file\n; } /* This is the WRONG way to loop over the directory. */ while ($file = readdir($handle)) { echo $file\n; } closedir($handle); } ? Note that readdir() will return the . and .. entries. If you don't want these, simply strip them out: Example 2. List all files in the current directory and strip out . and .. ?php if ($handle = opendir('.')) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file != . $file != ..) { echo $file\n; } } closedir($handle); } ? -Original Message- From: Merlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 April 2005 12:32 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] getting filenames from dir Hi there, does anybody know how to get all file names from a specified directory into an array?

[PHP] IRC from PHP - help
hello i'm a newcomer to this list, fairly experienced PHP programmer but coding mostly for personal web sites or hobbies. I also run an irc chat network and am curious as to if I can integrate php into it somehow. for example: I want to have a webpage that can present a list of all connected users to my irc network, or maybe a webpage to facilitate nickname registration/activation. my idea is to somehow connect a randomly-nicknamed client to the server like PHP-19942333 or something, which would execute the commands. I fully understand the irc protocol and have written a working irc client in VB. i don't have experience enough to know if PHP has some sort of event mechanism, for example, to be like on ircNamesList($names) { echo $names['1']; } or something. (pseudo-code) does anyone have an idea as to how this stuff could be done? Here's a sort of pseudo-code of what I'd want, PHP-style but obviously most of the functions are fake. // Begin pseudo-code. ?php echo Activating nickname...; $php_nickname = PHPInterface // or have it generate a random number irc_connect(192.168.1.1,6667,$php_nickname) $nick_command = REGISTER $_GET['nick'] $_GET['email'] $_GET['pass']; irc_send_privmsg(NickServ,$nick_command); // some way to hold processing until the response is received... wait_for_response(); // or maybe a while loop, like while $success = false... // after response, die exit(Finished); // parse response on event irc_privmsg($nick,$msg) { if ($nick == NickServ) { if ($msg == Your nickname has been successfully registered.) { echo Registration succeeded!; } elseif ($msg == Invalid syntax) { echo Error.; } irc_quit(PHP Script finished.); } ? obviously I'd also have to dress that page up a lot more, adding HTML code and such. This would also need a lot of error-trapping. Like if IRC couldn't connect for whatever reason, or if NickServ wasn't available, or who knows what. Well that's basically what I'm after. IDEAS??..

[PHP] Session Question
Hello, Currently I have an app that handles connection from a machine with a built in web browser. Commands from the remote on that machine are sent to the page via javascript.(I am not sure how, maybe the machine has api's for the browser or something) The problem I am facing is the other input on that machine comes in on port 4000 in ascii. Is there a way to have those pages pick up these codes somehow OR Is there a way to have a separate app monitor those ports(I know apache itself can monitor ports etc) and then talk to the current open page in a javascript action event? Thank you in advance, James

Re: [PHP] Session in two servers
Hi, I am using sessions in my web application which is installed in two pawns. So the request is randomly picked by one of the two servers. I am using files in php session but not database. My problem is, if the first request go to one server and the session is created there, then for the following request going to other server will not have session. How can we manage the session simultaniously in two servers? Please help me in this regard. You could modify your app so that upon the first request (randomly picked) the client will then continue to use that server until they quit their browser. Might not work for your situation, but it would get around the file/session issue... -philip -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Help! mod_php4 upgrade breaks GD!
A customer needed curl support, so I reconfigured and upgraded from an older version of mod_php4 to the latest (4.3.10) and all hell broke loose. I installed from FreeBSD ports, using what I thought were a combination of the ports default and my old settings. Ports had --disable-all, which broke all kinds of functions, but I fixed that, but it still appears that alot of gd functions are still undefined. My last config options were: './configure' '--enable-versioning' '--enable-memory-limit' '--with-layout=PHP' '--with-regex=php' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' '--prefix=/usr/local' 'i386-portbld-freebsd4.9' '--with-curl' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--with-pcre' '--with-gd=/usr/local/' It configures, builds and installs ok, but I have the gd problems I described. I also tried to use the built-in gd support by switching to just --with-gd, but then it won't build. Configure then fails with: checking for GD support... yes checking for the location of libjpeg... no checking for the location of libpng... no checking for the location of libXpm... no checking for FreeType 1.x support... no checking for FreeType 2... no checking for T1lib support... no checking whether to enable truetype string function in GD... no checking whether to enable JIS-mapped Japanese font support in GD... no checking for fabsf... (cached) yes checking for floorf... (cached) yes If configure fails try --with-jpeg-dir=DIR configure: error: PNG support requires ZLIB. Use --with-zlib-dir=DIR No clue why it couldn't find libjpeg, but I then tried adding: --with-zlib-dir=/usr/include (AND) --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/include/ (the header files are there) the configure script then runs through fine, but when I try to run make, I get: eg -lcurl -lz -lm -lcurl -lssl -lcrypto -lz -lcrypt -lcrypt -o sapi/cli/php ext/gd/gd.lo: In function `zif_imagecreatefromstring': /usr/ports/www/mod_php4/work/php-4.3.10/ext/gd/gd.c:1328: undefined reference to `gdImageCreateFromJpegCtx' ext/gd/gd.lo: In function `zif_imagecreatefromjpeg': /usr/ports/www/mod_php4/work/php-4.3.10/ext/gd/gd.c:1507: undefined reference to `gdImageCreateFromJpegCtx' /usr/ports/www/mod_php4/work/php-4.3.10/ext/gd/gd.c:1507: undefined reference to `gdImageCreateFromJpeg' ext/gd/gd.lo: In function `zif_imagejpeg': /usr/ports/www/mod_php4/work/php-4.3.10/ext/gd/gd.c:1762: undefined reference to `gdImageJpegCtx' ext/gd/gd.lo: In function `zif_imagecolorat': /usr/ports/www/mod_php4/work/php-4.3.10/ext/gd/gd.c:1891: undefined reference to `gdImageBoundsSafe' ext/gd/gd.lo: In function `_php_image_convert': /usr/ports/www/mod_php4/work/php-4.3.10/ext/gd/gd.c:3759: undefined reference to `gdImageCreateFromJpeg' *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/mod_php4/work/php-4.3.10.

Hi, After spending a long time reading about SQL injection on the Google,PHP.net site and on Shifflet.org (very good article, links, feedback - and I'm really happy that knowledgeable people like Chris take the time to help actively on the list) I have some mixed views on how easy it is to actually inject something into some of my sites, and I have also corrected some mistakes which would have gone unnoticed if I didnt read the above. Anyway, I have decided to start using a database wrapper from now on, visiting the php classes site and searching sites/google I have found a *LOT* of classes to do the job. BUT, few promise to take care of any SQL injection without the programmer first cleaning out the variables/strings, so although this is new to me, I know there are a lot of PHP gurus on the list and i'm sure this is not new to themI was hopeing someone could recommend a class they are using as I am starting a new project on monday and dont have the time to test each class before picking one (honest guys, there are a lot, you gotto browse them to belive it) I dont need anything fancy just something that gets the job donesafely and effectivly. Note: This address accepts attachements if it has [PHP] somewhere in the subject line so if you want, zip it up and mail it to me. Thanks in advance, Ryan -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[PHP] Connection to Two databases simultaneously
Hi, I am connecting to two database in my index.php. Here is how: @ $db = mysql_connect(localhost, USERLOGIN, USERDBPASS); if (!$db) { print Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later.; exit; } mysql_select_db(DATABASE); @ $userdb = mysql_connect(localhost, USERLOGIN, USERDBPASS); if (!$userdb) { print Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later.; exit; } mysql_select_db(USERDB); $getaccount = SELECT * FROM account WHERE visible=1; //Account table is present in USERDB. $result = mysql_query($getaccount); $get = SELECT * FROM useraccount; //UserAccount table is present in DATABASE. $result = mysql_query($get); There is no problem with the connection. but I need to query tables in both databases. I know you need to use link identifiers, but have had no luck in getting it to work. Appreciate your help. Thanks. HarryG
Re: [PHP] getting filenames from dir
That should get you started : $dirname='/var'; $dh=opendir($dirname) or die('could not open directory'); while (!(($file=readdir($dh))===false)){ if (is_dir('$dirname/$file')){ $myarray[]=$file; } echo $filebr; $myarray[]=$file; } Mario Merlin wrote: Hi there, does anybody know how to get all file names from a specified directory into an array?

Re: [PHP] Recommendation for a MySql wrapper class
I have nothing to do with these but I would check out PEAR DB, MDB,MDB2 and ADODB. On 02/04/2005, at 10:41 PM, Ryan A wrote: -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
