hi all
i have a query that grabs records from the database, it works fine,
but i have a problem with acondition i want to set for it
the variable $Record[Relate] has 1 of 2 values, "self" or "share"
what i wanna do is that when the variable has the value "share" it do
check the records grabbed and get the other records that has the value
share and $Record[Title] the same and display them once,
i don't know how to start doing this,
can anyone guide me or tell me how to do it
thanks in advance
here is the query
<?
$Query = "SELECT ID FROM projects";
$Result= mysql_query($Query);
$Total_Numbers = mysql_num_rows($Result);
$StartingID=$_GET['StartingID'];
$StartingID = ($StartingID) ? $StartingID : 0; //if rec is passed in, use it,
$Row = array();
$Query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM projects ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT
$StartingID,$Items_Numbers");
$Num = mysql_num_rows($Query);
while ($Record=mysql_fetch_array($Query)){
$Record[ID] = stripslashes($Record[ID]);
$Record[User] = stripslashes($Record[User]);
$Record[Relate] = stripslashes($Record[Relate]);
$Record[Thumb] = stripslashes($Record[Thumb]);
$Record[Shot] = stripslashes($Record[Shot]);
$Record[Title] = stripslashes($Record[Title]);
$Record[Link] = stripslashes($Record[Link]);
$Record[Type] = stripslashes($Record[Type]);
$Record[Skill] = stripslashes($Record[Skill]);
$Record[Info] = stripslashes($Record[Info]);
$Record[Time] = stripslashes($Record[Time]);
$Record[Date] = stripslashes($Record[Date]);
$Record[Rate] = stripslashes($Record[Rate]);
$Record[Raters] = stripslashes($Record[Raters]);
$Row[] = $Record;
}
$Next = $StartingID+$Items_Numbers;
$Prev = $StartingID-$Items_Numbers;
?>

Thank you guys for the answers. I think I will go with the following approach.
(A) script 1 submits to script 2 then
(B) script 2 redirects browser back to script 1
Script 1 is in charge of submitting and displaying; script 2 does the
processing.
This list is the best!

I haven't switched my POSTs to GETs and this is what I'm seeing.
I have a list of images. There are check boxes next to the images.

By the way... the rule of thumb I think about is this:
* Use GET requests when you want to be able to bookmark the page --
i.e., when you want the behaviour repeatable. Typical example is
searches.
* Use POST requests when the operation will affect the data in some way
that shouldn't be cached. Examples: submitting data that will be
stored in the database, will update a database, or will delete an
entry in the database.
Because of the back button issues (namely, not all browsers treat 'back'
the same way), you will need to do some workarounds, typically with
sessions; I've mentioned these under separate cover.
Just in case...
I tried to add the following header before any html output to force
the browser to not load from the cache and it didn't work.
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
Not all browsers will actually follow these 'rules' (actually, they're
in the HTTP specification, but 'rule' just sounds better). Heck,
versions of the same browser on different platforms sometimes treat them
differently.
This is why session handling techniques are a common 'fix' for bad
browser behaviour in these instances.

Actually:
Will there be an issue with the back button if I use 1 script to do
all of what I posted before?
So...
Script 1 submits to itself...it does the processing, updates
databases, etc...then it redirects back to itself for displaying for
results.

Give this a shot:
^[0-9]{2,3}\.[0-9]$
Returns regex that begins with 2-3 digits, followed by a period, and
ends with one digit.

I'm not sure what the initial m does(I'm not a perl person), but the
rest of the regex matches as follows.
A string whose first character is a digit between 0 and 9. This is
followed by an Upper case letter, and then two or three lower case
letters. All that is followed by a period(or dot), after which may be
a single-digit number, but nothing else.
It matches the following:
1Abc.2
1Abcd.2
1Abc.
1Abcd.

I'm still very new to this. But I'm trying to help.
run the above code, examine the output (if you are going to do it in a browser
echo out
some <pre> tags). hopefully the 9 variations will give you a little bit of
insight.
read every page here: http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcre.php - its a good
primer on regexp.
don't worry if you don't understand half of it. often things become
clear as you continue to read/experiment :-)

Hi
I am allready using a 'rank' field now... with 1 to N :) There are just
so damned many of them to order manually
the up/down button solution...is there a tutorial or php class out there
I could take a look at...
where you:
give the class a query...
the up and down links need to include the id of the item your moving
and possibly a direction value (depending on how you set your scripts up)
in order to move something up the list you have to find the item 'above' it
on the list (use sql for this). then you have to take the rank of the found item
and the requested item and swap the id (update with sql)
... alternatively you can use the fact that a select box can be multi-select
and that the order of the listed items in replicated in the GET/POST (and inside
php) .... i.e. use javscript to allow a user to move items up and down a select
box
(drag'n'drop or using up/down buttons), (warning - when your form submits all
the items in the multi-selectlist must be selected, a javascript
can be used for this.) and then on the server use the order of the list returned
from the page to re-order/rank the given users list.
get a found set back as html with these up/down buttons in each row
start ordering away with wild abandon....
does this allready exist somewhere ?

Do different users get to order differently, or is there some "master"
order that all shall use?
If it's a "master" order, just put a "rank" field on the records, and
then
make sure it's always 1 to N for the order you want.
You can create "up" and "down" buttons to alter the order fairly easily.
If each user gets to have their own order, then you're looking at a
playlist for each user, so I'd have a different table with just "ID" and
"rank" (and userID) in it and do the same sort of thing.

Does anyone know of a good easy php script or Form that we can use with
Front Page.
We need a form to get results, that actually sends the results in a format
that is easy to read.
Not all run together with no spaces, etc. like the Front Page forms.

I have an xml document storing some data I need. What I want to do is this:
1. Scan to the end of the file.
2. Find the closing tag.
3. Insert a new entry in before the closing tag.
I've tried:
1. Creating new files and renaming them to be the original.
2. Writing the file to a dummy file and insert my lines part way through
then finish the last tag.
My problem is I'm looking for a </endtag> and it comes up as endtag. Is
there anyway to force PHP to read the .xml file as a text file so it wont
strip off the xml tag information?
I've used fopen with fgets and fwrite, and file with fwrite

(Rasmus wrote:) "If you fwrite UTF-8 data to the file, then it is a UTF-8
file."
Thanks Rasmus! Honestly, that is REALLY helpful!
I was just coming back here to post that I had found that very same answer.
But I am glad to hear it confirmed by the experts.
Bottom line: I was just being silly/ignorant.
I went and downloaded a simple HEX editor and compared the actual binary
output of several files that I had created using both PHP, and my favorite
text editor (emeditor from emeditor.com). I then realized what probably
everyone else here already knew: that (most of the time) the actual binary
output from "Windows 1252" and "ISO-8859-1" and "UTF-8 without the byte
order mark" -are completely identical!
I had the false impression that when a file was saved in UTF-8, that there
was an actual binary "marker" that specified this (e.g. binary marker =
"This file is saved in UTF-8!") -there simply is no such thing. The only
thing that would set "UTF-8" apart -binarilly speaking- is the BOM, and I
had stripped that out, making the file exactly the same as plain old "ANSI"
(since I didn't have any characters that required "UTF-8", like from other
languages etc.).
My text editor displays the current character encoding in the status bar,
but since there was no way for it to tell whether it was saved with Windows
1252 or UTF-8, it just displayed that the file was encoded "windows
default - ISO-8859-1". This is where I got confused.
It turned out that my PHP script has been faithfully saving the file in
UTF-8 the whole time, and everything was fine. I was just not educated
enough about what actually changed when you save a file in UTF-8 but didn't
have any characters that differed from ANSI (which in my case, the "change"
was nothing, since ALL of the characters in my test document where
interchangeable with ANSI).
Well, this has been a learning experience! I hope that this post will help
some poor ignoramus like myself, sometime in the future! :) And hopefully I
am right about what I said above, and not flaunting my ignorance once
again -lol
Thanks again, to everyone who helped me! You guys really got me on the right
track. Not the least of which was simply causing me to think about what I
was asking more deeply.

Thanks also, Richard! You were right on.
Just a note:
I just visited the W3C validation service again, and it seems they have
recently updated it. It no longer complains if it finds a BOM in your
document binary. So it would appear that it's no longer an issue with enough
XML parsers to be relevant anymore. Still, it is nice to have a
program -like I do- that has that flexibility.

Thanks also, Richard! You were right on.
Just a note:
I just visited the W3C validation service again, and it seems they have
recently updated it. It no longer complains if it finds a BOM in your
document binary. So it would appear that it's no longer an issue with enough
XML parsers to be relevant anymore. Still, it is nice to have a
program -like I do- that has that flexibility.

Hi!
I want a script that can display a list of all the websites currently
hosted on my server.. (i have root access to the server)
Say I have a page sitesonmyserver.php..it shud show a list of all the
websites hosted on my server..eg:
abc.com
xyz.om
And any additional info if possible?
Is such a thing possible in PHP.. or does any such script exists?
Thanks in advance!

If You�re running Apache, parse the httpd.conf and echo the line containing
ServerName?

Generally, no. You would need some black magic that probed the guts of
your web server for this information. And by black magic I mean some
low-level C code.
A bit of grey magic I wrote almost exactly 9 years ago now! (May 1,
1996) in the form of Apache's mod_info module might help you out a
little bit. If you define all your vhosts in your httpd.conf file and
not in included files, then you can enable mod_info in your Apache
config, and restrict access to the information to localhost with
something like:
<Location /server-info>
SetHandler server-info
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Location>
Then your PHP code would hit your server's local /server-info link and
parse it with something along the lines of:
$info = file_get_contents('http://localhost/server-info?http_core.c');
preg_match_all('/.*servername <.*?>(\S+?)<.*/i',$info,$reg);
$vhosts = $reg[1];
You may need to doublecheck that regex. I didn't actually test it.
