Except when needle doesn't occur in string, in which case
"If needle is not found, strpos() will return boolean FALSE."
Checking strpos($foo,$bar) !== False is exactly right; since 0 ==
False,
you want to use !==, not !=.
[/snip]
If the string is in the first position does it not return a zero?
$needle = "a";
$haystack = "abcdef";
echo strpos($haystack, $needle);
returns 0
0 is not equal to false. But you are correct, if the string is not found
it returns the Boolean false, I should have been clearer.

Frankly, I use preg_match() for this type of thing. It's simpler and foolproof.
The difference in speed is negligible.
<?php
// The "i" after the pattern delimiter '%' indicates a case-insensitive search
if (preg_match("%$site%i", $referer)) {
echo $referer;
} else {
echo "A match was not found.";
}
?>

Why doesn't it echo out "yes"? I know I am doing something stupid here,
but it doesn't seem to work .... :-)

I'd suggest the following *slight* enhancement to make sure that the
HTTP_REFERER actually *begins* with the site name, not simply contains
it.
// prevents visits from pages like
http://badsite.com/form.htm?http://www.wnc.edu
if (strpos($referer, $site) === 0)
{
echo 'yes';
}
(or, if you like the preg solution)
if (preg_match("%^$site%", $referer))
{
//....
}
However, I'd argue that the effectiveness of checking the referrer
itself could be considered "negligible", and hardly "foolproof". The
header is easily spoofed in scripts, and may not even be sent at all
by legitimate clients because of various browser and/or personal
firewall options.

Thanks for the info. I've modified the script to reflect that. I
actually ended up reversing it, and so I used !== 0 which should work
just the same.
All this is a minor portion of a much larger security scheme for an
intranet site (which is protected by an LDAP server), where I am just
trying to keep images outside the web directory, and want to prevent
people from linking directly to an image... the only way an image
displays is if they view the page, and not link directly to the
image. Not foolproof, I know, but I'm not dealing with the general
population here, just internal employees some of whom are more
computer savvy than others.
Thanks all for your help. It seems to be working now.

I didn't mean that the function was foolproof, only the match function itself.
However, your suggestion to add the line start is simple and effective.

Hello!
i am trying to make links clickable on a page. I would like to
urlencode the URL so that it is well passed to a redirect.php file,
which would do somethings and then also do a meta http refresh
I am trying to use a function like the following, but it doesn't work.
I would like to apply urlencode on the link that is there in $str, so
that i have the link to redirect.php?url=<<urlencoded str>>
With the following, "1" gets hardcoded in my link! How do i urlencode it please?
Any thoughts would help

That would be the bit where you use urlencode(1) to put the URL into the
URL. I think you want urlencode($str) instead.

Many thanks Stut
The problem is that the rest of the $str is actually a big post from a
blog, which will have many other text and info apart from the URL, and
i don't want to urlencode everything in there!

[small rant]
This morning's thread on strpos() brings up an interesting point, zero
has a context.
In certain cases 0 is the equivalent of FALSE and in other cases a 0 is
just a 0. In the context of strpos() 0 indicates that the needle is in
the first position of the haystack. If the needle is not found in the
haystack a Boolean FALSE is returned. In this case 0 is not the
equivalent of FALSE.
There are other cases, most of them specific to strings, in which 0 is
not the equivalent of FALSE. Newbies to PHP or certain functions will no
doubt encounter these cases at some point.
Exercise care when using 0 to determine if something is FALSE and
understand that 0 has context.

I don't know why this is a rant. In most languages 0 is equivalent to
false. Even in C when you:
#define FALSE 0
If you want to match false exactly then use the tools provided. Namely
the equality operator === and not the equivalence operator ==.
Cheers,
Rob.

This should be a lesson about how important it is to keep in mind the *type* of
data when writing comparisons, even in a dynamic/weakly-typed language like PHP.
For example, consider this test case:
<?php
if (0 == false) { echo 'PHP thinks the integer 0 is equal to boolean false,
even though they are a different type'; }
if (0 === false) { echo 'PHP thinks the integer 0 is equal to boolean false and
is of the same type'; }
?>
The == operator performs a very loose comparison of "equality" between the
supplied values, converting the types before performing the comparison. When
false is converted to an integer, it converts as 0, which happens to be the
same as 0, therefore the code block executes.
The === operator performs a stricter comparison of equality between the
supplied values, taking into account the type. Because an integer and a
boolean are being compared, it will always evaluate as false. The code in the
second if-statement will never be executed because of this.
Also keep in mind the != and !== operators differ from each other in much the
same way as == and === differ.
Refer to http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php for
more details about this.

Carlton Whitehead

I'm writing a few very simple search scripts.
One searches in a few columns of a CSV file, while another just searches
through a collection of file names.
Currently, I just have it stripping illegal characters from the "needle"
and "haystack" then doing a substring search
if (substr_count(...)>0) {
return formatted results....
}
What I'm looking to do is enhance my searches with preg_match. What I
want to do is take my needle and haystack with the illegal strings
stripped out, split it down to words, and search for the string, no
matter what is between the words.
ex: "the cat and the dog"
would also return
"the cat ran from the bull and dog"
I might learn Regular Expressions at some point in the future, but I
just haven't had time to yet... so what I need is just what I would use
to build my string pattern for preg_match... I'll figure out the rest
and change my scripts appropriately.
Thanks in Advance!

You're not going to be able to do that with a regular expression because
the order of the words isn't even the same.
Why would you need to do this with a regex instead of the way it's
working right now?

Hello,
I have a quick question regarding the pipe function in Postfix and the
use of PHP as a mail sorter/parser. I've looked around and see many
people have used PHP as a quick and dirty solution for putting mail data
into a database.
I am taking all incoming mail, parsing out headers and putting the mail
into a MySQL database. The problem I have is, if the script cannot
connect to the database, the script fails. What I want is to have this
message return back into the normal mail queue with a temporary failure
or something so it can retry at a later time without disappearing into
never never land. The reason for this, is if there is a connection
failure, or the database stops for some reason, I don't want these
messages to be lost due to a script failure.
Here is my pipe command:
spamfilter unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRq user=spamfilter argv=/scripts/spamfilter.sh -f ${sender} --
${recipient}
Here is my spamfilter.sh command:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/spamc -f -u "$4" | /scripts/parsemessage.php "$4"
exit $?
So is there a way to exit(); with some sort of code to put that message
back into the queue? I have read that I need to exit(75); but that does
not work. If anyone could help, that would be more than fantastic.
Thanks,
Alan

Sure there' UTF-16 and larger, but everything else is a subset of UTF-8,
is it not?
So, what's the problem if you get a character defined by ISO -- it's
still within the UTF-8 super-group, right?
Individual characters are sometimes OK, but it's the sequence of
characters that could be invalid.
UTF-8 works by using special bits at the MSB end of the byte to say, "I
can't represent this character in one byte, I need to use 2 bytes (or 3
bytes)" (and maybe also 4? can't remember of the top of my head).
In a multi-byte sequence the MSB end of all the bytes must follow a
pre-defined scheme. If they do not they are syntactically invalid UTF-8.
So it's more than just individual characters, the order of them is
important.
Hope that explains it (although probably a bad explanation as I'm very
tired right now!).

Ah, I see what you're saying. I've run into that before when studying
Unicode. The mb_ series of functions deal with larger than ASCII
coding, but I don't know of any that deals with character
sequence/combinations or right/left readings. That's all Greek to me,
pardon the pun.
Cheers,
tedd

Hey,
I'm currently fetching feeds about every hour (automatically in php)
but sometimes there are no new updates in a feed for 2 hours. so no i
wonder if it's possible to check the feed somehow to see if it changed
since i last fetched it and if it's the case than download it like it
should.. if it's not changed than just skip the download.
Is this possible and how (with filemtime?)? i rather have a method
that works in php 4 and 5 (i use php 5 but alot of hosts still don't).
thanx,
Mark.

[proper] feeds are generated in real-time. it depends if the server
sends along some sort of etag or other modification information, but i
would say the nature of RSS is to be dynamic and always up to date.
you should just work on something on your end to dupe check/detect new
items. that will be a much more consistent solution anyway, since it
will work on ANY feed. much better than relying on the server or the
other person's code or RSS code generator to tell the right last
modification time.

Hi.
I want to know, what charset is applied to every file when is created with
the fopen function and how can I to manage the charset when I use the fopen
function?
For example: If i want to create an ISO-8859-2 file, how can I to force, the
fopen function to create it?

There's a small sample application that demonstrates how to use classes with
PHP 4 at http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/sample-application.html
It also has a bigger framework at http://www.radicore.org/

I disagree. PHP 4 gives you access to classes, encapsulation, inheriance and
polymorphism. This is all you need for OO programming. All that extra crap
in PHP 5 is just window dressing.

You can write abstact classses in PHP 4, it's just that you can't use the
word "abstract". Interfaces are totally irrelevant as any method can be
accessed directly through its function definition.

Design patterns are overrated. For building transactions in CRUD
applications you need transaction patterns.
