I want to set a session with a text link, am having problems with the
syntax. The link swiches the session to on or off.
<a href="" class="link_text">swtich off</a>
href="" class="link_text">swtich on</a>
I want to do this but the syntax is incorrect.
<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?$_SESSION['switch]='0'; ?>
<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?$_SESSION['switch]='1'; ?>
what is the correct syntax for this line?

I am not too sure on what you're trying to do... but maybe this helps?
// Untested code!
<?php
print('<A href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?switch=on">Switch on</A><BR>
'<A href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?switch=off">Switch off</A><BR>');
if (isset($_GET['switch'])) {
// Set switch, as requested.
$_SESSION['switch'] = ($_GET['switch'] == 'on'? 1 : 0);
}
?>
Hope this helps anything...

something like...
<?php
$session_switch = isset($_GET['session_switch']) ?
$_GET['session_switch'] : 1;
$session_switch = (int) $session_switch;
if ($session_switch){
session_start();
}
?>
<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>?session_switch=0">off</a>
<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>?session_switch=1">on</a>

That is it but can I not set the session variable directly from the link?
Something like..
print('<A href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?$_SESSION['switch=on']">Switch
on</A><BR>

<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>?_SESSION[switch]=0">off</a>
This *might* work, if you have session.auto_start set to ON, so that
the session is started before PHP processes the URL, and if you have
register_globals set to "ON"
But I doubt it, as that would be horrible security, because you really
do not want to allow users to pollute your $_SESSION data.
Plus, of course, if you're trying to get sessions turned on/off from
this, you'll have the session auto_start and then turn it off and
destroy it within the script if they ask for it to be off, rather than
have it actually not be turned on in the first place.
Work through what happens with your link and the session
construction/tear-down in slow-motion to see why you can't really do
this the simplistic way you are trying.

any takers?
For shits and giggles, does 'other' have execute permission on the

.......................... 'other' seem to have execute perms on that dir (and
read
perms on the files in it); apache error log contains plenty, unfortunately
nothing related
to this. :-/

Are /etc and /etc/php.d set to be executable by the PHP user?...
Though I *thought* the files were getting read by root at Apache
startup, so that shouldn't matter...
Did you remember to restart Apache?
Are you 100% sure your apache restart script didn't fail to kill/start
it?... I spent most of a day once using a badly-written apache
startup script that never actually killed Apache... :-(

I have had similar tribulations ... but today restarts were working,
other httpd.conf changes were showing up.
besides I was testing the CLI and the apache module and both had the
same problem.
weird huh!
anyway thanks for your input.

I use the Zend IDE at work, and honestly I love just about everything about it
except the price. The setup can be tricky, but I'm an IT guy so it didn't
take weeks, just an hour or two with our company server. :-)
Having used both the real time debugger and print-method (sometimes fancily
called instrumentation), I can say that both are useful, and both are
different things. I currently have hefty debugging facilities built into the
CMS at work for print-style debugging, in addition to making heavy use of the
real time debugger in Zend.
I'm watching this thread closely myself, as I'd love something to use at home
(on Linux) that doesn't cost what Zend does. :-) Currently I use PHPeclipse,
but it is frankly not that good (the code assistance feature is rudimentary
at best), and I've not setup the debugger yet. That, and Eclipse itself is
just a dog slow memory hog.

Did you look at this? I posted it earlier and although I've not hooked
up the debugger, AFAIK it's free (but provided by Zend), so it should
suit you nicely (except that you'll still need that extra gig of ram to
run eclipse ;))

How is this different then what they try and sell you for $249. I
have eclipse for Java development, and was looking at Zends package
for PHP development, but if they are basically selling me the same
thing then I would go with eclipse.

Hello,
Just use xdebug
www.xdebug.org
It's nice, and IDE independant.
It also generate code profile (in case you need to optimise)
Has far has IDE wise. I know Komodo use xdebug for it's debugger and code step
trough, so it must be good.
If you have more questions regarding xdebug let me know. I will try to
answer.
Cheers.

I worked round my problem by adding the contents of my additional ini files
to the bottom of the std ini file - a typical redhat solution to a typical
redhat
problem (I only ever seem to have to go through this kind of crap on Redhat -
Debian
is much nicer to me).

How's this:
<?php
// $s contains the entry from the table.
// Non-strict url matching.
$s = preg_replace('/(http:\/\/[^\s]+)/i', "<A href=\"$1\">$1</A>", $s);
?>
This is very non strict. Anything starting with http:// until the next
whitespace (\s) is clickable. You might want to put a more strict rule in
there, but it depends on the text your searching in. Note that above code
does not work when an url is at the end of a line, and followed by a
period (.).

You don't know Regex. Well, that's simple then, TRY to learn it. Noone
will (or should) give you any answers if it's absolutely clear that
you're not putting any effort into trying to find one yourself. "I know
this should be done using Regex, but I don't know regex.", wouldn't you
think it'd be a good idea to look up a tutorial somewhere or try to find
out what this "regex" exactly is? Try to type regex in the php doc, see
the notes for the various functions?
really, a little more effort goes a long way.

If what you mean is a db table, then it would seem to me that you should
not be using a regex. PHP has rawurlencode() for this sort of thing.
But - you should learn regex ;-)
Try something like (untested and late at night)
function urlme($location)
{
$enc=rawurlencode($location);
$spc=htmlspecialchars($location);
return "<A href='http://$enc'>$spc</a>";
}

ALWAYS read all the "See Also" links for a function when you want a

This is an SQL question, so you'll find much better answers on an SQL
forum.
If all else fails, I guess you could just do the whole ranking, and
then run through counting up the rows until you find the current
person...
Since that would be relativly expensive, perhaps you could run it as a
cron job once a day or once a week and store it in a field on their
profile.

I think this pattern would also match form16.php etc, which I think is
not what afan wanted.

So if I understand you gentlemen correctly, these pre-builds serve as
examples how NOT to do it?

I tried using it for a client last summer, because it was available free on
the client's web host. It is extremely rigid. If you want a program that
works the way they want and looks kinda like Buy.com with a table-based
layout in 3 columns with certain visual effects, it's fine. If you want to
change or customize anything, good luck. Nearly everything is hard coded
with HTML and presentation PHP and business logic PHP all mixed in together.
With a table based layout.
Ugh.
As for using pre-build vs. rolling your own, the main reason I favor
ready-made is the bank hookups. Anytime financial stuff is involved, I'd
rather use something someone else already debugged than roll my own.

Don't forget that you can also do the CSS inline:
<body style="background: url(/images/$random_image)">
And then also in the CSS file have all the other declarations for the
body tag.
