RTFM -> diffrent between _GET & _POST
You can also use $_REQUEST['id_num'] if you don't care
how the variable gets there (GET, POST, or COOKIE).
Note that if the value is set in more than one input (say both a
GET and a COOKIE set id_num), the variables_order variable in
php.ini determines which one will overwrite the other.

Have you looked at date() and strtotime() ?

Which means you've got to know what format any submitted date should be in,
which means you've got to know which bits are day, month and year.

date() won't do this, it's the function used to display a given timestamp in
a human-readable format. Functions like mktime() accept apparently invalid
values so as to allow for easy date arithmetic (date('d-M-Y', mktime(0, 0,
0, 1, 32, 2005)) will give you '01-Feb-2005', for example; strtotime() does
something similar). The only built-in function that does the checking you
are after is checkdate(), and that also wants day, month and year as three
integers.
So yes, you do have to split the input date up.
> Anyway as the date format
> is user defined I need both functions.
No, you don't *need* them. You may prefer to have the function to decode
according to a format string, but you don't need it -- it's pretty trivial
to do the task without it.
( $aDate = explode('-', $inDate); // or preg_split("#[/.-]#", $inDate)
if (checkdate($aDate[1], $aDate[0], $aDate[2])):
$timestamp = mkdate(12, 0, 0, $aDate[1], $aDate[0], $aDate[2]);
else:
$timestamp = NULL;
endif;
)

Well, but then you're splitting the date up into its constituent components
anyway -- so what's all the fuss about???

Hi there,

Now I would like to have a look around to see if there are better

Can anybody suggest a good one? I tried phpdesigner, but it seems to

Thank you for any suggestions,

This topic spams the list every week or two. It was just on last week.
At least have a little self respect and try to find an answer for

It seems like you did have a very bad day. Maybe you should consider not
to spoil the good spirit that this nice php list offers. There are lots
of great people on here. To bad that such answers also find its way to

=========================================================
Please feel free to add more points and send to the list.
=========================================================
1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP try
http://www.php.net/manual/en first. You can download a copy and use it
offline also.
Please also try http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php for answers to
frequently answered questions
about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne).
2. Try http://www.google.com next. Searching for "php YOUR QUERY" may
fetch you relevant
information within the first 10 results.
3. There is a searchable archive of the mailing list discussion at
http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the common topics are discussed
repeatedly, and you may get answer to your query from the
earlier discussions.
For example: One of the repeatedly discussed question in the list is
"Best PHP editor". Everyone has his/her favourite editor. You can get
all the opinions by going through the list archives. If you want a
chosen list try this link :
http://www.thelinuxconsultancy.co.uk/phpeditors/
(contributed by Christophe Chisogne).
4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want find out what extensions are
available to
you?
Just put the following code into a file with a .php extension and access
it through your
webserver:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
If PHP is installed you will see a page with a lot of information on it.
If PHP is not installed (or not working correctly) your browser will try
to download the file.
(contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W Parker)
5. If you are stuck with a script and do not understand what is wrong,
instead of posting
the whole script, try doing some research yourself. One useful trick is
to print the variable/sql query using print or echo command and check
whether you get what you expected.
After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts
(following steps 1, 2 & 3) and ask for help.
6. PHP is a server side scripting language. Whatever processing PHP does
takes place BEFORE the output reaches the client. Therefore, it is not
possible to access users' computer related information (OS, screen size
etc) using PHP. Nor can you modify any the user side settings. You need
to go for JavaScript and ask the question in a JavaScript list.
On the other hand, you can access the information that is SENT by the
user's browser when a client requests a page from your server. You can
find details about browser, OS etc as reported by
this request.
(contributed by Wouter van Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker.)
7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like
"Help!!", "A Question" etc. Especially avoid blank subjects.
8. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail composer and
enter the mailing list address [email protected] instead of
replying to an existing thread and replacing the subject and body with
your message.
9. It's always a good idea to post back to the list once you've solved
your problem. People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject line of their
email when posting solutions. By posting your solution you're helping
the next person with the same question.
[contribued by Chris W Parker]
10. Ask smart questions http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[contributed by Jay Blanchard)
11. Do not send your email to the list with attachments. If you don't
have a place to upload your code, try the many pastebin websites (such
as www.pastebin.com).
(contributed by Burhan Khalid)
Following these guidelines will ensure that you get effective responses
from the list members. Otherwise, your questions might not be answered.
===============================================
Hope you have a good time programming with PHP.

Great list Jay. The only other thing that I would add is this:
The people on this list are not your paid support specialists that
*have* to answer you on your slightest whim. Most of this "netiquette"
is covered by http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html, but
basically if you make it easy for us to help you then we probably will.
I personally find it *very* irritating when I get emails sent to me
asking for help. I am more than happy to answer questions on the list,
but please respect my privacy and realize that I answer questions in the
newsgroup when / if I get the time to do so. There will be times to
send me private emails which are ok, but generally keep all PHP help
questions on the list.

I too agree - the list raises some really important points...
Just a thought, but would it be worth someone posting the list once a week
to catch new users as they sign up?
Might be worth it in the interest of keeping the list tidy?

I think once a week would be more than enough. You have to actually
hope the newbies even read it, most of them don't even think they are

That and XML / SOAP. I've noticed that while some of those questions go
answered there are a *lot* of times when they don't. I guess a lot of
people on the list don't use it? That or the answers are sent privately
/ much later because I seldom see them answered.

Jay, great list BTW - I was thinking maybe we could drop it on a site/wiki
or something which could also contain stuff that comes up again and again,
or stuff that even the 6month y/o newbie finds trivial or just good stuff
thats been condensed from the list (kind of a good practice/cool code
repository). I know there are lots of places out there already but I think
,for instance, the mail archives suck for searching - and often there is
plenty of FUD in among the cherries. someone could then send out a weekly
NEWBIE email that points them to said site - which in turns introduces them
to netiquette, list faqs, etc. having a Wiki type thing would relieve the
list of lots of 'O-T' stuff on 'NEWBIE email enhancements'?

I just tried with a different From address...mine....and still no
appearance on the list. Interesting to say the least.

Jay, great list BTW - I was thinking maybe we could drop it on a site/wiki
or something which could also contain stuff that comes up again and again,
or stuff that even the 6month y/o newbie finds trivial or just good stuff
thats been condensed from the list (kind of a good practice/cool code
repository). I know there are lots of places out there already but I think
I think that Justin Patrin started up a wiki for PHP, but he hasn't been
on the list in a while and I can't remember what the url for his wiki
was. But he had a fair amount of useful code in there that would be a
great start for this project.
,for instance, the mail archives suck for searching - and often there is
plenty of FUD in among the cherries. someone could then send out a weekly
NEWBIE email that points them to said site - which in turns introduces them
to netiquette, list faqs, etc. having a Wiki type thing would relieve the
list of lots of 'O-T' stuff on 'NEWBIE email enhancements'?
Yeah the list is pretty high volume... it would be great if we could
help relieve the stress on the servers a bit.

I'm not too good with classes, in the below class I can get the hit counter
to write to the hit counter file, but I can't get it to write the log file,
I know security is done correctly on the file because it's the same as the
counter log file, but I can't figure out why the other file isn't being
written to.
Also while the IP address works within the code prior to calling the class
Thanks!

Hi there,
I am trying to find a open source PHP Cache extension. After trying out ionCube
PHP Accelerator (http://www.php-accelerator.co.uk) I had to remove it from the
system since it brought down the server every few weeks due to some memory leak.
There is also APC, but the latest build is over 3 years old.
Is there a working alternative for Zend? I am not sure if it is worth for me to
spend that much money for a lizence.
Thank you for any suggestion.
Regards,
merlin

Squid any good to you? You can configure it to cache based on page name,
GET and POST params (personally don't like to use POST params for static
or semi static content, but that's a personal preference, not a hard and
fast rule), farside domains....
You set it up above your php servers so it doesn't care what language
you are using to provide the content.

I haven't used it yet, but I've heard some good reports about it:
http://eaccelerator.sourceforge.net/Home
It's a fork of Turckk mmcache.

hi...
i'm in need of an app that has/should have directory/user/member functionality.
i want to setup a process to allow an adim to create different fields and
categories for a user to enter. think of a company employee database, where you
have the employe name, and then the various groups/projects the employee might
belong to...
i'm trying to figure out if there's already an app that you may have run across
that kind of does this, and if you haven't, what might be the best soln/easiest
soln to implement.. i've started to research ldap, but i'm not sure that this
is the best approach (given that i have no experience with ldap!)
i'm open to a php/perl/linux/mysql/apache solution.
searching through php/google hasn't turned up anything as of yet...
if you have any thoughts let me know...
thanks

Hi,

You need to make install after compiling PHP with --enable-debug to
get phpize and php-config to inherit the debug flag which will cause
apc to be built with debug mode when you run phpize in the apc directory.

What I really needed to do was to manually delete bin/php*, lib/php/ and
include/php/ before attempting a reinstall.

$objDom has to to be the parent node of $item., not the document itself.
$objDom->documentElement->removeChild($item);
should work in your case. or more general
$item->parentNode->removeChild($item);

that'll be:
string php_replace_all_but_last_four_chars_of_creditcard_number(string input[,
string pad_string])
actually that func doesn't exist - what you need to do (well its one way to do
it)
is use a combination of substr() and str_pad() e.g:
echo str_pad(substr($cc, -4), 20, 'X', STR_PAD_LEFT);
where $cc is the previously checked/verified/sanitized creditcard no.
and 20 is the length of a creditcard no. - forgive me if I'm wrong about the CC
number length, I don't have a creditcard.
Thanks!

In addition to what was mentioned already, using ereg_replace, if you're
pulling the CC# string out of a database of off of some POST data or something,
just use a substr() function to pull the last 4 digits and prepend a bunch of
X's.
$ccnum = "342342522342342"; # fake CC #, prob not even correct # of digits :)
$maskedccnum = "XXXXXXXXXXX" . substr($ccnum,strlen($ccnum)-5,4);
If you're trying to do it in a form, realtime as the user enters it, you'd have
to use some funky javascript or do something with a password form type or
something. But sounds like you want it like when you display an invoice
afterwards or display a "Would you like to use this CC that's already on file?"
type thing without exposing the whole CC#.
