I could use one additional clarification regarding good practice.
As I understand the php manual the following is acceptable.
$foo= TRUE;
if($foo) do.............. ;
where $foo is a binary; but not a variable.
$foo is a boolean in this case, but it is still a variable, just like
any other.

I'm creating an application which has multiple users, with their own logins

From it, they have a number of links to external websites, to which I need

http://somewebsite.com/index.php?username=bob
<http://somewebsite.com/index.php?username=bob&password=fred> &password=fred
For management purposes, I am wanting to have the overall URL in a MySQL

another table.
So I have:

James

03658264
Greg

How can I get the values from the user's individual details into the
required output?

If you're set on doing it that way, you can set those variables, then do:
$url = eval('return "'.$urlFromDb.'";');
but that's icky and a possible security hole. I would suggest removing
the query string (variables and values) from the URL you store and just
looking through the User_Website_Details for the URL.
while($user_web_det = ...) {
$url .= $user_web_det['Variable'].'='.$user_web_det['Value'].'&';
}
Since you're storing the variables uppser-cased (why?) you may have to
do strtyolower on the variable field.

keep the colors in tact?

this function if the color will work.

Are you using gd2 or not? If you're not, that's probably your problem.

Hi all,
Is it possible to get the line number of the parent script of a subroutine ???
ok, let me explain that a little better.
I have a script that includes a separate file for functions.
In a particular function, if a query gets an error, write out a log file
that explains the error.
The thing I am trying to determine is from what line the call was made from
the parent script to the subroutine.
I know that I can get the line number of the current script, but that
doesn't tell me where the function was called from...
Hope I explained that correctly,
Thanks,
Tim.

no, not like you want (afaik). i wanted this same thing too but ended up
just doing a workaround. it's a little kludgy but it's not *too* bad. i
just pass __LINE__ throughout all my db related functions.
(something like this)
$db = new Database;
$sql = "SELECT name FROM people";
$db->query($sql, __LINE__);
and $db->query() is setup so that when/if there is an error it will
print the line number.

You could do it yourself or use PEAR's Mail_mime package to create the

Mail_mime might also help. :-)

You may want to try this class that you can use to compose and send
messages with attachments. It comes with a specific step by step example
to tell you how to use it for that purpose:

Hi,
In order to keep configuration files outside the web root I use:
include_once('../config.php');
This used to work also when running php scripts from the command line.
Now I have a new server and I get "no such file or directory" when using
this construct from the command line.
I have worked around this by doing this:
$main_folder = realpath(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']).'/..');
include_once($main_folder . '/config.php');
The original, simpler construct still works when calling the page from a
web browser, just not when I run it from the command line.
The new server has a more recent version of PHP (4.3.4). I don't have
the php version of the old server but it was on RedHat 9 - now I'm on
Mandrake 10.
What could be the difference that caused this?

That IS interesting. That would explain why:
php /var/www/myproject/util/my-cli-script.php
... will break unless I execute it from that same directory.
I used to be able to do that from anywhere, though - that's why I passed
the full path to the script. So it's got to be some configuration
that's different, or that this behavior has changed.

... IIRC just after the change php-cli had a switch that allowed the old
behaviour, apparently this is not documented in the manual anymore so you
probably have to use an absolute path.

From the manual:
"The CLI SAPI does not change the current directory to the directory of
the executed script!"
"Note: The CGI SAPI supports the CLI SAPI behaviour by means of the -C
switch when run from the command line. "
In other words, it's possible to make the CGI version work like the CLI
version (using absolute paths only). There seems to be no support for
making CLI work like CGI, however.

Hello,
I have a php update form which use $_POST and $_GET too. I call the update
like this update.php?id=1
And after the user submit the form with new data I use command like this:
UPDATE table SET id=$_POST['id'] WHERE $_GET['id']='1';
This code works on localhost with Apache 2, Win XP, and Php 4.3.5 but it
doesn't works on my real server(Php 4.3.3, Linux, Apache 1.??)
I debuged it and I realised that on localhost I have the correct value in
the $_GET but in remote $_GET is empty.

The form that is being submitted can only be a POST or a GET not both

How can you do both?

I wonder if "track_vars" is off in php.ini? But then, I
suppose$_POST['id'] would be empty, too.
Anyway, I'd suggest using different names for the GET and POST
variables. For instance "new_ID" for the POST variable.

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a spec that permits transparency of
graphics in DHTML layers? I have a bottom layer which is a picture of
fabric, and I have a grayscale image of wrinkles & shadows that I'd
like to overlay on top of the fabric, with a certain level of
transparency so the fabric is still visible in the shaded areas.
Or, if anyone knows another technology that might accomplish that, I'd
appreciate those suggestions too. :)

graphics in DHTML layers? I have a bottom layer which is a picture of
fabric, and I have a grayscale image of wrinkles & shadows that I'd like
to overlay on top of the fabric, with a certain level of transparency so
the fabric is still visible in the shaded areas.
Or, if anyone knows another technology that might accomplish that, I'd
appreciate those suggestions too. :)
Thanks,
Brian Dunning

What's the point? MS has already killed Netscape, they aren't going to improve
IE anymore than necessary.

There are browsers other than IE and Netscape.

I never got it quite perfect, but it shouldn't take too long. I just lost
interest after about five minutes ;)

Just for grins and giggles, why don't I post the exact assignment specs?
FYI, I've never really had to deal with file uploads and downloads
before. It probably took me to an hour to research PHP file
upload/download/MySQL storage, and get that part working. I could do it
much faster next time ;-)
As for the layout issue, I suppose that's my big 'weak point' as a
developer. The templates I started from have a basic interface
structure already, so I went ahead and developed the code and the basic
interface together. That took extra time beyond just puking out the
bare minimum. I've spent so many years doing database development for
customers that I view the real functionality of an application by how
the interface looks and acts more than how the underlying code is
written. I just can't see the forest for the trees, and I can't see a
functional web app without an interface that matches the workflow.
Anyway, here's the actual assignment specs:
--------------------
XXX Company is publishing an on-line journal and needs to provide a
system for electronic manuscript management with the following
features:
1. All submitted documents should be able to be uploaded and downloaded
in word format.
2. There should be 3 user roles: Author, Reviewer and Editor
3. There should be a way for a new user to register as either one of
the 3 roles. During registration, the new user should be able to enter
first and last name, e-mail address and what kind of user he wishes to
be (author, reviewer or editor).
4. When a user logs in to the system, he should be presented with a
screen, depending on what role he has in the system.
a. As an editor, the user should be able to delete a user, change
registration information of any user, view the status of each submitted
article, view reviewer suggestions, accept or decline an article for
publication, or assign it to a reviewer for review.
b. As a reviewer, the user should be able to download a submitted
article to review and recommend the article for publication or not.
c. As an author, the user should be able to submit a file.
5. An article can have one of these states:
a. Submitted (after submission)
b. In review (after reviewers are assigned)
c. Accepted (if accepted by the editor)
d. Declined (if declined by the editor)
6. A typical workflow should consist of the following states:
a. An author submits an article. The article status becomes
“submitted”. The editor may view the article (by downloading it) or
assign it to a reviewer.
b. An editor assigns an article to a reviewer. The article status
becomes “in review”. The reviewer may now download the article and he
may also suggest accepting it or declining it.
c. A reviewer makes a suggestion. The article status remains “in
review”. The editor may now view the suggestion of the reviewer and he
may also accept or decline the article.
d. An editor accepts or declines an article. The article status
becomes “accepted” or “declined” accordingly.

I haven't been able to glean anything about this from the Oreilly books,
php web site, or anywhere else so I am breaking down and asking on this
list.
In other scripting languages like Perl/Ruby/Python (that aren't meant to
live in the web environment exclusively) there usually have a web
library that writes basic html form input html types for like
radio_button(name,val) and checkbox(name,val) type functions. I can't
see that php has this type of feature. Perhaps this is deliberate as
not having something preset affords more flexability in a way, I just
want to be sure I am not missing something... does this kind of thing
exist in PHP? Thanks.

i'm pretty sure that a class within the PEAR library will do this. but
you could easily and very quickly write your own functions.
function radio_button($name, $value)
{
echo "<input id=\"$name\" type=\"radio\" name=\"$name\"
value=\"$value\" />";
}
etc.
hth,
chris.

There are many libraries out there that do this sort of thing, it's just
not distributed with PHP. Try looking in PEAR's HTML section for some
HTML generating classes.

A bit overkill perhaps, but pretty nifty IMHO:

Kudos, kudos, kudos to the people who developed this webmail application and
kudos to people who contributed plugins. Truly an easy program to install.
The plugins are endless and also simple to install and configure.
An excellent PHP application, highly recommended for anyone that needs a
powerful, but easy to install webmail system.

this might be a small bit o f f t o p i c but im trying to install
imagemagick and running into a problem. im trying to crop JPEGs but
imagemagick says it has no 'image decode' for that file type! upon closer
inspection, it looks like youve to enable jpeg while configuring an install.
but could anyone tell me how to do this? im trying to install on a standard
red hat linux 8 box.
thanks
