Please dont.
If a simple script like so:
<?php vardump($_GET);
that is access via:
http://server/simplescript.php?avar=avalue
Is printing null, then something else is wrong.

Why are you using eval? Eval is slow and is a hack... Just do:

True ! I just tested it with both eval and $$, and $$ seems to be about 3 to 4
times
faster than eval BUT if you are processing less than 10000 variables then there is
no noticeable difference.
Sorry I suggested eval!
but I think it is easier to read the program when using eval as it is more eye
catching than just an extra $ that is easily missed.
Well, eval can also easily be a security vulnerability... Using $$x
means that you *will* be using $x as the var name. Consider this:
$x = 'varName; `rm -rf /`';
eval("\$y = \$$x;");
This will produce the PHP code:
$y = $varName; `rm -rf /`';
Which will be evaled and delete files from your system.
$y = $$x; will take the value of the variable with the name of what's in
$x. You can even do:
$x = '"I am an invalid var name!"';
$$x = 'abc';
$y = $$x;
Even though what's in x isn't a valid normal variable name, this will
work. Strange, huh?
AFAIK the eval code looks very similar to my code as it also has $$.
IMHO, it's harder to read eval code.

It handles regular form variables as well as arrays.
So if your form had an array of checkboxes coming in via $_POST for
example, it will handle it.

This will make your script consume lots of memory, and is very
inefficient.
You'd be better of using the unix tail command:
$fp = popen("/usr/bin/tail -$limit $file", 'r');
if (! $fp ) {
echo 'unable to pipe command';
}
while (!feof($fp) ) {
$line = fgets($fp);
print $line;
}
Of course if you're simply going to output the results a simple:
system("/usr/bin/tail -$limit $file");
Would do the job nicely.

I'm not familiar with using COM("WinNT://domain") but I've done quite a
bit with COM objects involving Excel, MapPoint, Word and Access. If
you're working with a specific application like this, search for
"mappoint data model" or "mappoint object model".
Here's the one for MapPoint:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/mappoint2004/BIZOMAboutOM.asp
You can probably find what you're looking for in that general area.
Some object models are written better than others.
Good luck!

I have a script that calls a function called conbox. This function creates
the HTML to a content box and you also pass a file to be included into the
content area of the box.
The function echos out some of the HTML, then does a simple include(), and
then echos out the rest of the HTML.
I'm trying to do this with another file containing PHP code and HTML
together, it's a file that fetches and displays information from a database.
The file is fine by itself, but once I include it into the actual content
box, it does a die(). I have it set to do that if there's a MySQL error, but
it doesn't output any error at all, and the file works by itself. Here is
the code that fetches from the database:
<?php
mysql_select_db($database_default, $default);
$query_headlines = "SELECT id, headline, short, datetime FROM snews ORDER BY
datetime DESC";
$headlines = mysql_query($query_headlines, $default) or die(mysql_error());
$row_headlines = mysql_fetch_assoc($headlines);
$totalRows_headlines = mysql_num_rows($headlines);
?>
And here's where it displays:
<table width="98%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
bordercolor="#616161" align="center" style="border-collapse:collapse">
<tr bgcolor="#E0EBF1">
<td align="left" style="padding:3px 3px 3px 3px;"><a
href="snews.php?id=<?php echo $row_headlines['id']; ?>"
class="headline"><?php echo $row_headlines['headline']; ?></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
This is fine, completely fine, by itself (if I include the database
credentials of course, but if I leave that include in there, it still won't
work). I've already included that file into the file it's being included
into anyway so it should work, but it simply isn't. Here's the conbox
function with less of the echo:
function conbox($title, $contentfile, $content, $width, $height) {
echo 'Stuff...';
if($content == '') {
if([EMAIL PROTECTED]($contentfile)) {
echo 'content unavailable';
}
}
if($content != '') {
echo '<p align="left">'.$content.'</p>';
}
echo 'stuff';
}
Like I said, all the database credentials and everything is included into
the final file, but it simply won't work. Any ideas here?

You're probably running into a namespace issue here. The global
variables that you're trying to use for mysql_select_db aren't in the
namespace of the function that's including the file.
I would suggest using a better (OOP) system to get around this. Barring
that, the best way IMHO is to use $GLOBALS['database_default'], etc. for
the vars in the include that are created globally.

Thank you for the suggestion, worked like a charm. I was using GLOBALS
earlier in the script because of the same issue, just wasn't thinking about
it for these variables. :-)

Hi All,
I've built my own shopping cart and use a library supplied by USAePay. The
library is accessed via an include statement in my code. Because of theirs
a desire to keep this library outside of my public web file directory
USAePay recommended using:
include "/usr/local/lib/php/usaepay.php";
I put the file "usaepay.php" in that directory (using a dedicated linux box
with root access) and run my script with the above include. I get the
following:
Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(/usr/local/lib/php/usaepay.php) is not within the allowed path(s):
(/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/payment7.php on line 11
How can I resolve this?
Thanks,

Actually you're better off not hard coding that path. A simple
include "usaepay.php";

Two things:
1. which is probably already set, is to make sure your include_path
has /usr/local/lib/php in listed in it as the first item.
2. add to open_basedir: /usr/local/lib/php
You'll be all set.

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!

Hi All,
I've built my own shopping cart and use a library supplied by USAePay. The
library is accessed via an include statement in my code. Because of theirs
a desire to keep this library outside of my public web file directory
USAePay recommended using:
include "/usr/local/lib/php/usaepay.php";
I put the file "usaepay.php" in that directory (using a dedicated linux box
with root access) and run my script with the above include. I get the
following:
Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(/usr/local/lib/php/usaepay.php) is not within the allowed path(s):
(/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/payment7.php on line 11
How can I resolve this?
The library must be either under
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs or /tmp. /tmp is out of
question, so the only directory left is your docroot. But as you are
saing you are root on the server, you can change open_basedir setting to
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com:/tmp and put the library to
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/usepay/ directory.

Hi, I have been working to create a program that takes a user-uploaded
background image, a little alpha blending, some data, and a pinch of
fairy dust, and outputs a nice image. I have had trouble with the image
displaying properly in Internet Explorer. An example:
http://ffxi.nerdlife.net/ffxi.php?id=1
If you open it in any non-IE browser, it looks fine, but if you open it
in IE, the gray background is not made transparent.
My question is, how can I fix this, and if I can't, is there any
alternative for making a transparent background. Here's my code snipplet:
$color = ImageColorAt($im, 1, 1);
imagecolortransparent($im, $color);
Also, I output the file as a png file, but I don't care what it is
output as (although my server for some reason doesn't recognize
ImageGif...):
header("Content-Type: image/png");
Imagepng($im);
Any advice?
Thanks,
Brian

That's sort of a known issue with our oh so standards compliant
favourite browser...
Search google for
ie png transparency
and though shall be enlighted.

HI there,
I am wondering if it is possible to generate a pdf page with pdflib based on a
existing pdf document. For example using an invoice template and filling in the
values with php.
Thank you for any hint,
Merlin

The last time I checked it (1 year ago) you needed the PDI library of PDFLib
to open an existing PDF file and do something with it. Go to the pdflib page
and check if this is still the case.
I simple workaround would be to place placeholders into your template
(e.g.[###filed1###] or something similar) then get the file contents with
get_file_contents() or fopen() and replace the placeholders with their
values with str_replace().
Hope it helps. Regards,
Torsten Roehr

Hi,
This is what is probably a newbie session problem.
I've been having some trouble with sessions on php 4.0.6, I'm developing
a website in which I don't have direct control over the server. Due to
some other problems I created a test counter script to try to narrow
down where the problem resides but no I'm sort of stuck.
Here is the small counter script.
session_start();
print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);
if (!session_is_registered('count2345')) {
$GLOBALS['count2345'] = 0;
echo "create count<br>";
session_register('count2345');
} else {
$count2345++;
}
echo "<br>";
echo session_id();
session_write_close();
When I refresh it will periodically loose the count2345 session variable
and recreate the variable. At times it will also jump in value.
Here are also the php configuration session settings.
session.auto_start Off Off
session.cache_expire 180 180
session.cache_limiter nocache nocache
session.cookie_domain no value no value
session.cookie_lifetime 0 0
session.cookie_path / /
session.cookie_secure Off Off
session.entropy_file no value no value
session.entropy_length 0 0
session.gc_maxlifetime 1440 1440
session.gc_probability 1 1
session.name PHPSESSID PHPSESSID
session.referer_check no value no value
session.save_handler files files
session.save_path /tmp /tmp
session.serialize_handler php php
session.use_cookies On On
Here is also the compile configuration which includes --enable-trans-sid
�'./configure' '--disable-pear' '--enable-ftp'
'--with-sybase-ct=/usr/local/freetds' '--enable-trans-sid'
'--enable-force-cgi-redirect'
Thank you

Hello,
I'm trying to write a function that sends an email with an attachment using
sendmail,
But I can't seem to get it working, the code I currently have is below,
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
I'm probably doing something stupid as the output is what its meant to be
except it isn't divided up (i.e. attachment is text)
Regards

Hi Mark,
don't try to invent the wheel twice. There are great functions for that already
available. Try to search for phpmailer. Thats a great one.
