Hi,
Alas there is no any other way to redirect the page without sending
headers in PHP.
You may use javascript for this purpose.
Well it is matter of programming practice.
We must do processing before presenting the content to users.
It will be helpful in many situations.
So instead of doing
1.Draw header
2. Draw middle bar upon user input and according to business logic.
3. Draw footer
We Must Use
1. Make Business logic and process user input and do required task
such as redirection
2. Store result of step 1 in any entities like variables.
3. Draw Header
4. Make Middle bar using set entities.
5. Draw footer.
This is just a overview of approach. You may need to process more things
along with middle bar, but it is good idea to do logical processing
before presentation.

Subject: [PHP] page redirect question
Hi,
Is there anyway to redirect php page other than using
HEADER("LOCATION:URL") ?
Header can only be called if nothing is written to HTML... Is there
anyway around it?
Thanks,

Not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish here, but if you're
trying to get something like:
http://localhost/script.php?x=2
to then print
VALUE IS: 2
it most likely won't work with recent versions of PHP (e.g., PHP >= 4).
This is because the default settings in the php.ini file have
register_globals turned off for security reasons. You can still
accomplish that you want to do; simply change the php line to:
<?php echo "VALUE IS: " . $_GET['x']; ?>
If that's not what you're trying to do... explain in more detail.

Hi,
I'm using the Oracle database though I think this question is generic to all
databases.
If you're using bind variables and preparing the SQL statements ahead of
time, do you still need to call addslashes() before binding the strings to
the bind variables?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I have a question that I can't get my head around and was hoping someone
could answer for me.
I have a form with a number of fields.
Field one is a <td><select name="thisSteamField"></td>
The option fields are built from an sql statement and a where clause builds
the options fields
...
<option value="<? echo $teamname; ?>"><? echo $teamname;
?></option>
....
etc...
When I select one of the options, the form automatically goes off and does
another sql select a with the WHERE value of the selected $teamname, and
then populates the next field, but I can't think how.
Any pointers?
TIA

Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to convert a given string into an array of chars
without using a separator.
That is, is there a function
mySplit
with
mySplit('example') == array('e', 'x', 'a', 'm', 'p' 'l' 'e') ?
Thanks

Do you absolutely need it as an array? If indexing by character would
suffice, just use PHP's {} syntax:
$s = 'example';
echo $s{0}; // e
echo $s{1}; // x
// etc.
Cheers!

Hi,

The problem is the following: I'm creating a shell script in PHP that

The problem is that if i run it on a webserver the script run correctly
but if i runit in the command line it reports one error (DB Error:
connect failed).
Does anybody know what is the problem ?
Thanks in advance

Are you running the script on the same server as the webserver process?
If not, you may need to set up additional permissions on the database to
run it from the new machine.

You shouldn't need to do this, unless you've changed your PHP configuration
to not add the session ID to a form submission. Contrariwise, you *should*
add the SID to all Location: headers:
header("Location: index.php?" . SID);
Cheers!

Hi all,
I was looking for an easy RDF parser writen in PHP but I failed. There
are some parsers out there but I could not find the right one for me...
I decided to write an RDF parser by myself... not easy ;-)...
I created SimpleRDF parser on sourceforge.net under BSD license and I'd
like to ask you guys for help.
If you have time to play little bit with RDF or you are looking for
RDF/PHP parser - test mine (even if you don't expect to use it - just
try it, please). I'm currently working on version 0.2 that has the
ability to save (for now it can only read/parse and save N-Triples)
RDF/XML documents.
SimpleRDF is based on PHP5/XSL. XSL part simplifies the RDF/XML source
to allow easy parsing (XSL part can be used as standalone XSL stylesheet
if you need). PHP5 part provides really simple API - my goal was really
"KISS" (keep it simple, stupid). It is well commented.
Thanks for any testing/feedback...

I have a problem (the core of it being that I am VERY new at PHP and
MySQL), wondering if anyone can suggest solutions.
I've been charged with handling creation of new web pages for entering
kids' data into a database for a local parents' club, for babysitting
co-ops and such. What we want to do:
a) The registration form will ask for parents' name and contact info
(I'm not having any problem handling that), and ask them how many
children they have.
b) After submitting this, PHP puts these values into a MySQL database
(again, no problem) and will give them a second form, with one set of
form inputs for each child (I haven't figured out how to do this yet;
it sounds simple enough though). For example, if you said you have 3
kids, the next form might look like this:
Child # First Name Middle Name Last Name Gender DoB School Name
1 _____________ ___________ _________ ____ _________ ___________
2 _____________ ___________ _________ ____ _________ ___________
3 _____________ ___________ _________ ____ _________ ___________
Where the fields will be named "Child1Number", "Child1FirstName", etc.,
all the way through "Child3SchoolName".
The PHP script that processes this form after it is submitted needs to
a) create a childID for each child (this is simply main
account-holder's ID with "c", "d", "e", etc., appended, and b) enter
the data for each child into the database, in the "child" table.
I have *THREE* PHP & MySQL books, and so far cannot figure out how to
do this in a sensible way, which I understand should be an array. The
array chapters and examples all give sample code that is completely
useless for my purposes (generally the examples are of pre-determined
data, like tires and spark plugs and oil cans in an automotive catalog,
and how to print them out of the array into a web page). Me, I'm
trying to take fresh input from the user, put it into an array somehow,
and have a loop (that I don't know how to write yet), generate a
"childID" for each child in turn, and enter each child's information in
turn into the database, keyed to that childID, and do so in an
efficient way. (The inefficient way would be to, say, assume a maximum
of 15 children, and, not using an array, then have the script ask,
"Does child #1 exist in the form? Yes? Then create its user ID; now
enter its data in the database. Does child #2 exist?...." Hardly good
program design. Even I know that, and I can't program my way out of
paper bag (I'm an HTML/CSS guy, not a programmer. Yet.) And, this
should be an associative array, not a numerically indexed one, since
other people who probably won't be programmers will need to be able to
look at this down the road and understand precisely what it does with
what data and why.
The other issue would be how to create the child form so that it only
has the number of fields required for the number of children they say
they have. The whole for and each loop construction stuff is very,
very fuzzy in my head, in the absence of good examples.
PS: AFTER registration and login, if people want to be able to edit
this info, e.g. to add a new child in the family, there needs to be a
form that will load all of their existing family data and allow them to
edit it. No problem. But is there a way with PHP to have the "how many
children do you have" selector auto-reload the page with a new, empty
field for an additional child, if they had 3 kids but go to this
profile editing form and change it to say 4 kids? I could do this with
Javascript, but if PHP itself can do it, that would be cool. I suspect
that without JS, the best I can do is either a) always have a blank
child field just in case (but what if they just had twins?; not such a
great solution) or b) allow them to edit everything so far entered into
the DB, and if they change the number of kids have the form come back
after they submit it, with a new line of form fields for a new child
and a note at the top to add the new child's info.

Hi everyone!
I've been trying to get mime_magic to work with PHP 5.0.2, but it seems to
complain about the magic file being valid. I've tried both with the Apache
2.0.52 version of "magic" and with the PHP5 Win32 version of "magic.mime",
but it still says that they're invalid.
Please, does anyone have a magic.mime file which is known to be working
with PHP 5 on some variant of UNIX/Linux? If so, I'd very much appreciate
getting a copy to try with.
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Björn
