I see that Shawn's suggested radio buttons will do just fine. I hadn't
thought about that. Dummy me.
But the real problem I have is to pass a form input value to a variable.
For example:
input type=text name=titleIN size=52 /
input type=radio name=choice value=$titleIN /
How can I pass the text input to a variable that could be used by the
radio button?
The idea is to have several inputs for a search page with the inputs
limited by the radio button to one choice of several inputs. If I can
get the input to a variable, I can then manipulate it to do a query for
the search. :-\
Hope this is understandable?
Here's something I found but don't understand if or how it could be
used: (from php.net manual)
|quote... snip...
to reliably allow form data to be fed back into a form (for editing a
record, for instance) is like this:
echo input type='text' name='varname' ;
if(isset($existingvalue))
echo value=\.htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($existingvalue)).\ ;
echo /;
This assumes that variables have been escaped (such as addslashes) after
being retrieved from the database or after being received from a
(probably this) form. endquote
From this form??? How would you get the $existingvalue? from the form? How?
I'm trying, I'm trying...

Just accept all the text inputs from the form, and use a switch on the
radio button to determine which of the text inputs you use.
Alternatively, just use one text box for input and use the value of the
radio button to determine what to do with the text.

I am trying to remove a text which does contain a : inside. Somehow the
regex does not match, no matter what I do:
$contents = mb_ereg_replace('^(.*)this is the test: replace(.*)$', '',

[PHP] Can PHP determine if the STDOUT to a CLI script is being redirected?
Hi. Is there a simple way for a CLI based PHP script to determine if its output is being redirected to a file or piped through a filter (find, sort, etc.) I'm using ANSI escape sequences to colour the output (all working very nicely), but I want to suppress the codes if the output is being filtered or redirected to a file.

It also works over NFS with multiple webservers writing to the same file (I have 3 webservers behind LVS so technically your request could be going to any of them) http://mikehost.com/~mike/tmp/u/ - frontend and view source to see gears + js http://mikehost.com/~mike/tmp/u/temp.php.txt - server side piece I can't find the latest/cleanest code, but it gives you an idea.

Compared to what he has already found, the Gears solution is not clean by any stretch of the imagination. Greg, I believe the link you posted is a very elegant solution that does not (at first glance) involve Flash objects or Java applets. I'm a little disappointed that a particular JS framework is necessary, but that's just the nature of the beast with this sort of thing. If I were you, I'd run with the native PHP solution you've already found. Maybe you can even crack open the JS and find a way to do it with your favorite framework as opposed to YUI...

Subject: [PHP] Regex not working with :
Hi there,
I am trying to remove a text which does contain a : inside. Somehow the
regex does not match, no matter what I do:
$contents = mb_ereg_replace('^(.*)this is the test: replace(.*)$', '',
$contents ,'UTF-8');
Looks like this is a result of the :.
Does anybody have an idea how to do this?
Thank you for any help.

Can you try ..
# Your regular expression could not be converted to the flavor
required by this language:
# A POSIX Extended RE cannot match the start and the end of a line with ^ and $
# A POSIX Extended RE cannot match the start and the end of a line with ^ and $
# Because of this, the code snippet below will not work as you
intended, if at all.
$contents = mb_ereg_replace('^(.*)this is the test: replace(.*)$',
'\1\2', $contents, 'UTF-8');
The warnings above come from RegexBuddy. Considering the PHP examples,
I'm not sure how accurate they are.
Hi there,
thank you for the help. Actually it was due to case sensitivity. Use
str_ireplace to fix it.

Compared to what he has already found, the Gears solution is not clean by any stretch of the imagination. a) the native solution that requires APC is not multi-webserver capable b) i was just sharing a different approach to an idea. who knows. it might be something to explore. gears is pretty lightweight, and for the ease of this and the functionality it brings (not to mention cross-browser+platform) i see a compelling reason to give it a shot. c) the APC method -still- requires webserver tweaks and post max size etc. this is sending small chunks of data, is proxy-safe, and requires nothing on the server; all that is required is gears, which is a library to extend your browser's capabilities and i have not heard any issues with it or security holes thus far. penetration is an issue but when more sites push it and say hey, you should install it the penetration will grow. not to mention youtube for example is using roughly the same method and picking up a lot of browser installs off that. flash started out as a baby too. even java did (inside of browsers) ... i completely disagree it is not clean - it is literally one browser addon that a lot of people do have, comes from a reputable company, and creates basically limitless upload capabilities - i can do 300 meg files without blinking - it's not one long single POST that can fail anytime, it's lots of small POST requests; it takes basic PHP on the server and then some javascript for the UI (all the pieces to get a basic functional install i sent links to) how is that not cleaner than requiring the right version of apc, hoping that one single long POST doesn't fail, etc? our next version will include re-transmission on any chunk failure and some other stuff, too. we're talking about literally any file size, and even multiple file support, with the capability to retry on failure so you -know- your file will get there, no matter if you're on fast broadband or third world connectivity. we've dealt with issues for years with people in geos having to send us links to files and have us upload them for them... not anymore. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: Suggestions of some good, simple file upload 'in
If you'd like a simple Java Applet that can do the file upload, and is scriptable through JavaScript, I have a fairly nice one that uses FTP to upload the file. It has real-time feedback to the webapp, and has a PHP webservice that it communicates with for authentication, and notification. I also have one that will use SFTP if security is an issue. They're both on my home page http://www.bbroerman.net just click on the My Code button on the menu to go to the correct page. I'll also help with any install questions, etc. Cheers, Brad Broerman

Then manipulate the results and pass them to a query and then display on

But how do you use the above - switch on the radio button ?
Alternatively, just use one text box for input and use the value of the

Don't understand this either.

Just accept all the text inputs from the form,
You mean, submit? to the originating page? I'm trying to use $_POST, so
action=this_file.php?
Then manipulate the results and pass them to a query and then display on
page. Right?
and use a switch on the
radio button to determine which of the text inputs you use.
But how do you use the above - switch on the radio button ?
Alternatively, just use one text box for input and use the value of the
radio button to determine what to do with the text.
Don't understand this either.
I must really be stupid for I have been trying both methods and I just
don't know how to deal with this...

Say your search form has three radio buttons for the possible search
criteria; date, title and category, and in the form, next to each is a
textbox to accept the input for it. In the PHP code you would do
something like this:
$type = $_POST['type'];
switch($type)
{
case 'date':
{
// process date text box here
break;
}
case 'title':
{
// process title text box here
break;
}
case 'category':
{
// process category text box here
break;
}
}
And you radio buttons would be like this:
input type=radio name=type value=date/
input type=radio name=type value=title/
input type=radio name=type value=category/

No need to disable stuff as that was merely a misdirected thought. I think Ashley's suggestion should work. My problem has been to understand the workings of the form inputs. Now, I'm just anticipating some acrobatic feats to be able to pass the author parameters to the query as they are comprised of two fields (first_name and last_name).

I have a PHP script which uses the PHP 'mail' function. When the

ISP customer, the mail never gets to me. If the 'to' address is
anything other than an ATT address, the mail gets to the recipient.
The PHP code for sending the mail is essentially:
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . \r\n;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . \r\n;
$headers .= 'From: Some From Name somefromname.com';

$subject = 'Some Subject';
$msg = 'Some Message';
if(mail($to,$subject,$msg.\r\n\r\n,$headers))
echo good;
else
echo bad;
In the actual PHP script the $to, $subject, and $msg are successfully
passed to the script from the client side as $_POST, $_POST and
$_FILES parameters respectively. I have just filled them in above so
that they can be seen as if they were part of the script. The script
always returns good, so the mail function must be successful.
In my project, testing has reported that any attempt to use the
'mail' function on the server to send to an ATT address fails to
reach the recipient, while all other addresses used in the testing
succeed in reaching the recipient. I can assert this to be the case
with my own ATT address also. I have also checked my ATT mailbox
online to make sure the mail is not being received as Spam.
Does anybody have an idea why using the 'mail' function succeeds with
all but ATT $to addresses ? Naturally in the client-server
application on which I am working, sending mail from the server must
work for all $to addresses.

It might be that the server IP has been blacklisted with att as a
domain from which spam is sent.
I have found out that the server adds a from header of
'nob...@myserver.com' where 'myserver' is the name of the server. This
header gets placed first before the From header I supply in my PHP
script ( which should have had the form in the example above of
'somefromn...@myserver.com, my bad ).
Perhaps the ATT mail server, when it sees the 'nob...@myserver.com'
treats it as spam and does not deliver the mail to even the recipient's
spam mailbox.
I am not sure if it is normal for outgoing SMTP mail servers to
automatically add the 'nob...@myserver.com' from address first in the
header, or even why it does so ? Does anybody know if this is normal for
mail servers to do this ? Evidently other incoming mail servers do not
react to the 'nob...@myserver.com' in any way, so maybe ATT is unique
in this.
Any light anyone can throw on the 'nob...@myserver.com' address would be
most welcome.
It is using the apache user @ your host name as the default. Try this:
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'whate...@wherever.com');
I will try this but I do not understand why it should work. I have a
'From:...' entry in my headers. Why is this not being used as the
primary from address and why is 'nob...@myserver.com' being added
instead as the first from address ? In other words, I can understand if
I supply no 'From:...' header entry that a default 'nob...@myserver.com'
would be used but I do not understand why it is used even when I supply
a 'From:...' header entry.

No.
The second is seeing if $var1 is not equal to $var2.
The first one is doing a not $var1 is equal to $var2 - which will
change it from whatever it is into false. (It's currently set - so
that's true, you're switching that - so it becomes false).
$ cat test.php
?php
$a = 5;
var_dump($a);
$b = !$a;
var_dump($b);
$ php test.php
int(5)
bool(false)
So the not $var1 becomes false.

I believe placing an @ in front of a statement suppresses any error messages

It does - in this case if 'title' is not posted as part of the form, it
would have generated a warning or notice (can't remember which).
A longer path is:
$var = '';
if (isset($_POST['title'])) {
$var = $_POST['title'];
}
The shortcut works but it makes it extremely difficult to find problems
with your scripts (think of 50 @'s being used in one script.. eek).

Re: [PHP] ! and !=
Doh, of course! Just not thinking about the scope of the operator. If
$var1 = 1, then !$var1 = 0
Thanks everyone!

[PHP] Re: Unable to send mail from PHP to ATT e-mail address
Edward Diener wrote:
I have a PHP script which uses the PHP 'mail' function. When the
script's 'to' address is an ATT address, such as my own as an ATT ISP
customer, the mail never gets to me. If the 'to' address is anything
other than an ATT address, the mail gets to the recipient. The PHP code
for sending the mail is essentially:
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . \r\n;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . \r\n;
$headers .= 'From: Some From Name somefromname.com';
$to = 'mybellsouthaddress.net';
$subject = 'Some Subject';
$msg = 'Some Message';
if(mail($to,$subject,$msg.\r\n\r\n,$headers))
echo good;
else
echo bad;
In the actual PHP script the $to, $subject, and $msg are successfully
passed to the script from the client side as $_POST, $_POST and $_FILES
parameters respectively. I have just filled them in above so that they
can be seen as if they were part of the script. The script always
returns good, so the mail function must be successful.
In my project, testing has reported that any attempt to use the 'mail'
function on the server to send to an ATT address fails to reach the
recipient, while all other addresses used in the testing succeed in
reaching the recipient. I can assert this to be the case with my own
ATT address also. I have also checked my ATT mailbox online to make
sure the mail is not being received as Spam.
Does anybody have an idea why using the 'mail' function succeeds with
all but ATT $to addresses ? Naturally in the client-server application
on which I am working, sending mail from the server must work for all
$to addresses.
Try using SMTP as your mail server. Increasingly, incoming mail servers are requiring secure email.
This means logging into your outgoing server. Also, I've starting using Domain Keys and SPF on all
my emails, including text to cellphones.
Here is my code function, it works with ATT just fine. Note the use of Pear
mail
function pearEmailSend($recipient, $emailSubj, $emailText, $applicEmailAddr)
{
$emailTo = $recipient;
$headers['From'] = $applicEmailAddr;
$headers['To'] = $emailTo;
if(!empty($emailCC)) $headers['Cc'] = $emailCC;
$headers['Return-Path'] = $applicEmailAddr; //or can use SMTP_USER; bounces are sent to applic
address
$headers['Reply-To'] = $applicEmailAddr;
$headers['X-miniReg'] = APPLIC_NAME;
$headers['Date'] = date('r');
$headers['Subject'] = $emailSubj;
$params['debug'] = SMTP_DEBUG; //Careful, do not leave on, creates a nasty
message for admins
$params['host'] = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$params['auth'] = SMTP_AUTH; //binary, set in config; some servers require
auth
$params[username] = SMTP_USER; //If auth true, must have value
$params[password] = SMTP_PW; //If auth true, must have value
$params[localhost] = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$params['persist'] = true; //Default true
$mail_object = Mail::factory('smtp', $params);
if(!ENABLE_SEND)
{
echo(br /pearEmailSend; sending is inhibited. This is the stuff. br
/Recipient=$recipientbr /Text=$emailText);
echo printArray($headers) . 'br /';
return;
}
$result = $mail_object-send($recipient, $headers, $emailText);
if (PEAR::isError($result))
{
throw new Exception(The email SMTP login does not work, check the config settings. br
/Tech support required. Error found in pearEmailSend() . $result-getMessage());
}
return true;
}

It is using the apache user @ your host name as the default. Try
this:
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'whate...@wherever.com');
I will try this but I do not understand why it should work. I have a
'From:...' entry in my headers. Why is this not being used as the
primary from address and why is 'nob...@myserver.com' being added
instead as the first from address ? In other words, I can understand
if I supply no 'From:...' header entry that a default
'nob...@myserver.com' would be used but I do not understand why it
is used even when I supply a 'From:...' header entry.
From: is used by your mail client to show who it's from.
the ini_set (or you can set the 5th param to the mail() function) is
a return-path. If the message bounces (recipient's mailbox full,
server down, whatever the reason) it gets delivered to that address.
They serve different purposes.
Does ini_set actually change the php.ini file in any way ?
No, it only affects the script it's running in. Comment it out.
Check your mail server logs and/or apache/php logs to see if anything is
going there.
You are correct. The mail server logs showed that a number of outgoing
e-mails had been blocked because of an error. Once the outgoing e-mails
were released I received my e-mail.
It also turns out that the nob...@myserver.com was added to the header
as the Reply-To address, not as a primary From address. I should have
looked at this myself rather than taken the comment of someone else.
I am still trying to investigate why ATT e-mails are not being received
but it may have to do with the outgoing mail server and is being
investigated by my employer. I will wait on any further script changes
until he tells me what is happening with the outgoing mail server.
Thanks very much for your help.

Re: [PHP] Suggestions of some good, simple file upload 'in progress' code?
Hello, on 04/22/2009 04:46 PM scubak1w1 said the following: I am thinking that is where I am at... as you said, the user just needs to know that there computer is busy, hang on a second already! grin I like those icons - if I may be so bold though, and excuse the broadness of the question, are you / can you use some Javascript to display this as the file uploads? I am already using AJAX on the page/form so I guess I could add an icon to the page before I run the PHO to upload the file, yes? You may want to take a look at this forms class that comes with an upload progress plug-in. http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration That plug-in sends an AJAX/COMET request when the form upload starts and the files are long enough, it shows a progress bar with some statistics like upload speed, transferred data, remaining time, etc..
