How to use this list best:
Search the archives at lists.php.net for [NEWBIE GUIDE] It was written
by Jay Blanchard earlier this year I believe. Read it.
Then read this: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Then try learning PHP from the PHP manual. If you come across a
problem, then explain the problem, AND WHAT STEPS YOU HAVE TAKEN TO
SOLVE THE PROBLEM YOURSELF BEFORE POSTING TO THE LIST.
Give a little back. After you've learn't a little, and you see someone
else posting a question that you know the answer to an feel you can
explain well, then hit your email clients reply button.
If you want to fit in, and you want to be taken seriously, and most
importantly if you want to learn, then consider the above points.

Hello,
I'm having a mysterious problem with phpMyAdmin 2.6.1. I've already
consulted the phpMyAdmin forum on sourceforge but so far I've not had
any answers come my way.
All of a sudden this morning I found that the program stops dead in its
track's during a call to "ob_start('gz_handler');". There are no errors
displayed on screen but there is one error logged to the error_log. It
is:
[Tue Feb 22 15:38:38 2005] [notice] child pid 2909 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)
I realize this is not phpMyAdmin's problem, however it was the software
I was using when I found this problem.
I have not made any configuration changes whatsoever for quite a long
time now on my server so I don't see why it would all of a sudden stop
working.
I'm running Apache/2.0.40, MySQL 3.23.54, and PHP 4.2.2.
I read that this might be related to hardware???? I SURE HOPE NOT! Ugh.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris.

You need to upgrade to the latest PHP version, which is 4.3.10 and while
you are at it, consider upgrading MySQL to 4.0.

how about a WHERE clause.
Maybe something like:
$query = "SELECT WEEK(date) as week, count(*) as hits, listingID as
lidcount FROM invotestotal WHERE WEEK(date) = 8 ORDER BY hits DESC";
Ryan Schefke wrote:
I am trying to echo the ranking of votes (highest to lowest) that a product
received in a given week. See example of desired output.
In the query below, It's working great and outputs ID, votes, and week;
however, I can't figure out how to get the ranking for a given week. In the
example below, how would I be able to output values in the Ranking column
for week 8 so that ID 1 is ranked 1, ID 3 is ranked 2, etc. Help?
Example ranking:
ID Votes Ranking Week
1 29 1 8
3 23 2 8
7 2 3 8
1 2 1 10
-------------------- QUERY ------------------------------
$query = "SELECT WEEK(date) as week, count(*) as hits, listingID as lidcount
FROM
invotestotal GROUP BY week, lidcount ORDER BY week DESC, hits DESC";
$result = @mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
$printweek = $row[0];
$countinvotes = $row[1];
$lidnumber = $row[2];
Then, echo values in table rows...
}
-------------------- QUERY ------------------------------
-------------------- DEFINITIONS IN QUERY ------------------------------
WEEK(date) as week :: week vote took place
count(*) as hits :: counts total votes
listingID as lidcount :: ID of the product that received the vote
-------------------- DEFINITIONS IN QUERY ------------------------------

Yes it is possible. This is a bit of reading, but it is exactly what
you need to read:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
http://php.net/manual/en/features.remote-files.php
After you read the above links you should have a pretty clear idea of
how it works (in general). If you have a specific question about your
FTP server or whatever, feel free to come back and ask us that detailed
question instead. :)

I've wrestled with Windows 2000 Server with Apache 2 configuration,
and hopefully this will apply for 2003 as well.

Somehow PHP ISAPI can't seem to find your extensions folder. In my
setup, I also have PHP installed into c:\php\ext, and in effect, in my
PHP.INI I set
extension_dir = C:\php\ext
...which works just fine. I don't think you need to use the UNIX path
structure, and that may be the root of your problem.
Another thing to check would be NTFS permissions on the PHP.INI file.
If the user that Apache2 is running under cannot read the PHP.INI
file, then none of your extra configuration directives would appy.
Also, I think there is a bulletproof way to ensure everything works,
just in case you installed some additional extension that requires
some extra DLLs you don't want to drop into your SYSTEM32 directory.
You can add "c:\php\ext" into your global windows environment
variable. I've found that to work out well in the long run if you
have additional extensions and dependencies.

Apache can't start properly when the extension can't be found. But,
if the above works and you're able to start up Apache, write a small
script and put in
<? phpinfo(); ?>
and run through the wealth of information that is displayed to make
sure "mysqli" is installed as an extension.

How can I check that a string is no more than 6 characters long and
only contains alpha characters (no numbers, spaces, periods, hyphens, or
anything else, just letters.)

if(preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z]{0,6}$/',$string))
{ echo 'good'; }
else
{ echo 'bad'; }
Change to {1,6} if you want to ensure the string isn't empty.

or if you aren't into regex (which I find confusing and still am trying
to learn):
if ((strlen(trim($string)) <=6) && ctype_alpha(trim($string)))
{ echo 'good'; }
else
{ echo 'bad'; }

Read the book "Mastering Regular Expressions" or first 300 pages of it - trust
me, it is worth the labour (personal experience)!

Can I format an e-mail message with html tags inside the mail() function?
If not, how can I go about it? I would like to format the layout of the

and when your done brushing up on the mail function and related material
have a google for 'phpmailer' - a lovely class that abstracts out all the
headache stuff associated with formatting an email properly (headers, multi-part
MIME, boundaries, etc)
Tip: don't go stuffing HTML tagsoup into the body of an email mail()ing it. not
everyone likes html email - some can't read it [AOL users/email-apps are a
nightmare]
its better to offer a plaintext version of the message as well as the singing
and
dancing version (best/safest is to go purely plaintext but then again you
probably
have one of those insistent marketing depts on you back ;-)....
don't assume that because Outlook can view your html email as intended that
other
programs can too! Another thing - if you intend to include images beware that
there
are 2 ways to do it.
1 include the image file in the msg (make use of a 'cid:' src value for the IMG
tag
in the HTML)
2. reference images that are on your public webserver.... this is way better it
terms
of bnadwidth, sometimes there is a requirement for offline reading (in which
case you
may have to embed the files instead)

Hi All,
Does unset() create a copy of the array and then overwrite the
original
somehow
destroying the reference?
In the example below, no item has it's value set to 'foo', however if
the
$stuff array is
accessed directly (see commented line) rather than by reference it
works
fine. In
addition to this, if the unset(); line is commented, the reference
will
also work.
Anyone know why?
Thanks,
Karl.
-----------------------------------------------
<?php
$stuff = array(array('one','two'),
array('one','two'),
array('three','four'),
array('five','six'),
array('seven','eight'),
array('nine','ten'));
print '<pre>'; print_r($stuff); print '</pre>';
foreach ($stuff as $key => &$values) {
print "on key:$key<br>";
if(($key%2)==0){
print "Running unset for $key <br>";
unset ($stuff[$key]);
}else{
print "Running change for $key <br>";
$values[1]='foo';
// $stuff[$key][1] = 'foo';
}
}
print '<pre>'; print_r($stuff); print '</pre>';

Hi,
I have an file that contains PHP code..variables, db, etc. Is it
possible to include the evaluted contents of that file into a variable
in another, the calling PHP script?
Essentailly I am looking to do something like
include("myCode.php") -> HTML Output -> $myVariable.
I know could do this with something like
$myVariable=file_get_contents("http://localhost/myCode.php";) but I am
not allowed to use urls in file opens.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michael

use a form element with type="password"
e.g:
<input name="WilliesPwdField" type="passwd" />
not really a php question this, also I'd put money on getting a answer via
google on any relevant search... like so:
google on:
hide text in password field HTML
click two links:
(second link in goog results) then..
(Using Forms) http://www.weijers.net/guide/forms.html
find this:
http://www.weijers.net/guide/forms.html
read it,
rinse and repeat.
