Hi all,
I apologize in advance for a commercially orientated posting in this
discussion list - I did not see a business focused list to use instead.
I am looking for a good reliable PHP developer that can help with some
one off projects that I have (10-20 hours a month perhaps) - geographic
location is not a concern (aka I am open to persons outside of the US),
the requirement of reliable communication and timely delivery is absolute.
If you are interested in something like this please email me off list
with your Resume/CV, any sample projects that would be good to look at,
and of course your contact information.
Thanks,
Max

Certainly hasn't changed, and I hope it never does. Having to find an
errant space or carriage return at the end of an include file that is
one of nearly 100 that get included in a script has taught me that there
is no greater feature in PHP!! I never use a closing ?> if PHP script is
the last thing in a file - less headaches all around.

Hear, hear! And the word from internals a few years ago was that it was
an intended feature for exactly that reason.

A MySQL list would have been a better place for this.
Then again
Most people on the MySQL list would have known about
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/world-setup/en/world-setup.html where as
people on this are less likely to.

Sorry, maybe I should have posted on that list. My post was about
the list rather than about using MySQL.
My initial thought was that country lists would have been something
that people in this forum would have encountered and was also hoping
that some people here would have multi-language experience for
country lists in other languages.
Thanks to all that have pointed me in the right direction.

Yikes, so besides disabling the mail() function, how do you check for all that?

Disable the mail() function bit in your code that processes the FORM
submission.
The Bad Guys are probably cramming your $subject and $from data with
an ENTIRE eamil, so your mail() function is, in effect, and Open
Relay. (That's very very very bad.)
Example:
Normal Input
$subject = "Hi!";
Bad Guy Input
$subject = "Hi!\r\nCc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@example.com";
If you do:
mail($to, $subject, $body);
then you are letting THEM control the headers of your email, which
lets them splice in 1000 recipients to their junk.
Plus then can also splice in MIME headers and a new body to send
virus-laden emails, and the $body you thought you were sending is just
tacked on to the end of their body. Or not, if they splice in
something to convince SMTP to "end" the email at the end of their body
(which you've crammed into $subject in your mail() function call).

Hi ,
Newbie question, I have a form,
<form acttion="search.php3" method="post">
input .....
input.......
.......................
</form>
The search.php3 goes to query mysql database to see if the infomation is new
or existed, if new, will promt
two radio buttons ( Yes or No) to confirm if you like to enter the info
inot DB .The form will action="result.php"
My question is how we can passwd the values which are entered in first page
to result.php page.
Thank you for your help

Hi,
In search.php3, you'd need to save the values into inputs of type "hidden".
You can then query them in result.php as per usual. I hope that helps.

Bruce

you could also do this all on one page... with different if statments to
direct which part of the process your actually in.
if (processone) {
blah...
blah...
}
if (processtwo) {
blah...
blah...
}
this is how all of my pages work, to an extent, and it make things much
easier not having to pass variables from page to page. hope it helps.

2 options:
1. php solution, put the data in $_SESSION and retrieve it
again when you have the 'insert' confirmation - (search the manual for session
usage)
2. html solution, in the second form put the inputs from the first form, set
all their
type attributes to hidden and set the value accodingly:
<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $data['foo']; ?>" name="foo" />

you really need to deal with this issue at the database design/data
entry level. doing things on the sort to exclude (otherwise undefined)
initial articles (as some have suggested) is very maintenance heavy as
you have to update the sort portion for every language your data are
entered in. additionally, an initial word that's an initial article in
one language may not be in another.
at the database design/data entry level the common approaches include:
- a separate field for initial articles
- separate sort and print fields
- an initial article offset indicator that is used for sorting
the first of these is probably the easiest and most portable. the last
is easy, but probably the least portable. i consider the separate
print/sort fields to be the least desirable since it's a lot of
redundant data that has to be managed and maintained.
in my experience, if you encounter a setup that doesn't support the
proper handling of initial articles it's best to fix things at the
database/data entry level as soon as possible -- otherwise the
resolution just gets more "expensive" (however you define that).
Although I wouldn't have known to define it as such, I also don't like
the idea of redundant data littering the DB. But it does seems to be
the easiest method to implement as far as coding, and the fastest way
to retrieve the data.

Hi All,
I'm relatively new to PHP but I've had some training and feel quite confortable
programming it...
Anyway, I'm having a problem in understanding the correct behaviour of the
include statement/function.
Imagine that I have an INDEX.PHP file in my root directory and I want to
include the file INCLUDE\SESSION.PHP. I would use the statement:
<?php include 'include/session.php'; ?>
What if, inside the file INCLUDE\SESSION.PHP I want to include the file
INCLUDE\DATABASE.PHP?
Should I use the statement:
<?php include 'database.php'; ?>
because DATABASE.PHP and SESSION.PHP are in the same directory or should
I use the statement:
<?php include 'include/database.php'; ?>
because INCLUDE\SESSION.PHP is going to be included in INDEX.PHP witch is
NOT in the same directory of DATABASE.PHP?
In other words... When PHP processes an include statement does it include
the file where the include statement is and then process its contents (eventualy
including other files) or does PHP processes the file to be included and
only includes it after that?
Thanks

When PHP hits an include() (or require(), or include_once(), etc.), it copies
the contents of the included file into the running context and executes it.
That process is recursive.
All include statements are parsed based on the defined include path, where "."
is interpreted relative to the active context, vis, the script that the web
server itself is running.
That means that if the include path contains ".", and apache executes a.php,
and a.php includes "foo/b.php", and b.php includes "c.php", then "c.php" is
looked up on the file system as "./c.php", relative to a.php, since that's
what apache is actually running.
Got that? :-)

I have a PostgreSQL database chockful of datatype:
"time without time zone"
The times I chucked in there are, like, '7:00 PM' and they all seem
fine...
Until I start trying to generate an RFC 882 datetime stamp. :-(
At that point, the fact that the server lives in Portland OR, and my
times are all based in Chicago means that my output is:
Mon, 03 Apr 2006 17:00:00 PDT
even though the actual date/time in question is REALLY at 20:00 in
Chicago.
I'm just doing the naive:
select whatdate, whattime from ...
list($y, $m, $d) = explode('-', $whatdate);
list($h, $i, $s) = explode(':', $whattime);
$datetime_882 = date(DATE_RFC882, mktime($h, $i, $s, $m, $d, $y));
This is PHP4, and I've done an if(!defined()) define() to get the
DATE_RFC882 constant.
What is the least-stupid way to fix this, and get 20:00 in the
Portland OR server to turn into:
Mon, 03 Apr 2006 20:00:00 CDT
which is what time it really was.
Errrr. Without changing the schema which means having to re-do
everything else in the application. That's probably the RIGHT way to
fix it, but that ain't happening.
I've been dinking with gmmktime() and reading about setlocale() but
none of them seem to be the Right Answer.
I got a couple stupid ways I think I could fix it, and I'd rather not
do those, cuz they're stupid. :-)
E.g., str_replace(array('PDT', 'PST'), array('CDT', 'CST'), $datetime);
This time zone stuff always gets me head all spun around, I admit freely.

Yeah... I ran into the same stuff a few weeks ago with the DST change.
The quickest solution that is *almost* OK is using
putenv("tz=america/montreal") or putenv("tz=america/san_diego") etc..
(should really be the date_default_timezone_get/set functions)
Datetime fields do not have timezone stored (mysql too.) The only real
solution to this problem is to always store datetimes in GMT/UTC. That
is the correct thing to do, and until that is done our workaround still
has one problem (that isn't big enough to warrant reworking the
ticketing code that inserts to the db...)
The remaining problem is that until we store in UTC we will never know
which 01:30:00 a timestamp refers to, EDT or EST (Eastern Daylight, or
Eastern Standard.) In UTC this doesn't happen. Of course there is no
problem for spring, only in the fall time change.
This can be a big problem to some apps, and others might be fine with
the workaround like we've done where you loose a tiny bit of data (It's
08:00 on the day after the timechange, is this ticket from 01:30:00 6.5
or 7.5 hours old? who cares.. just reply.)

Hi,
I want to authenticate user by checking with our LDAP their login and
