Hi everyone.
I need to know how do I do a FINDER of clinics for zones.
I am new in PHP, so my knowloge is not much.
The user of this finder select the zone from the list, and click in the
button, and them show a list of clinic with its data info (name, address,
phones, etc)
Thanks a lot!

Emiliano,
Some questions to begin:
1. Do you already have the clinic data?
2. If yes, in what form is it stored ( flat file? database? )
3. How much knowledge of html/javascript, etc... do you have?

Can you show us the form tag of your php file(html code)?
Dan Shirah 写道:
doing a var_dump($_POST['comments'];
returns string(0) ""
So the value of $comments in $comments = $_POST['comments']; SHOULD be equal
to 0 or "", right?
In which case when I do my original:
if (!empty($comments)) {
echo "Do Something";
}
It SHOULD just bypass that and continue with my code, but instead it gives
me the error, "Changed database context to Database."

no; strtoupper modifies its argument, that is all.
empty evaluates the argument it is given that is all.
therefore, if empty is passed an string with no contents that has been
passed through
strtoupper, it will still be regarded as empty.
<?php
$var = strtoupper('');
if(empty($var)) { echo 'var is empty'; }
?>
When comments is left blank and I echo out the value for $check_comments
it
returns nothing at all which is why I think empty() or "" should work,
but
they don't.
try using var_dump(); you will see that it is a string that has no
contents, or perhaps some
whitespace characters.

Hi all,
file_exists and is_readable perfom there test with real UID/GID.
Is there any functions that tests file existance with effective UID/GID ?
Note: stat is not an option because it raises an E_WARNING if the file
is not readable.
Thanks,
Manuel

what about doing it like this?
<?php
$filename = __FILE__;
$stat_info = @stat($filename);
if ( $stat_info ) {
// do something...
}
The '@' will suppress the E_WARNING notice
if stat fails the condition will fail.

Hi all,
I have inherited a problem script from a client, and it's a simple upload
function.
The problem is that while the image is being uploaded and saved as the same
name it was uploaded as, it's not writing to the table the file name for
display reference so it's like there is no picture.
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks!

What is "$userfile"?
Are you using "$_FILES"? http://php.he.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
$_FILES['userfile']['name']
The original name of the file on the client machine.
$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
The temporary filename of the file in which the uploaded file
was stored on the server.
And don't forget to set the HTML form tag's enctype="multipart/form-data"

Hi Everyone,
I am attempting to get the logic of something figured out and I
thought someone might be able to confirm what I'm thinking :)
I want to be able to display something like an image of a turkey
during the month of november from now until I'm dead. I was playing
around with mktime and it showed very different time stamps for
11/1/07 and 11/1/08 so I can't set it to compare specifically to the
timestamp.. But, would I be able to have it evaluate the string
stored in php as 11/1/07 and create a timestamp to compare todays
date to, and if it matches within the month, have it display the
turkey? and if not, have it display a different graphic?
I'm attempting to be able to make small changes to my website without
having to remember to do them or change them :)
I hope I've made enough sense that someone can point me in the right
direction :)
Thanks for looking!

Errr... Never mind... Soon as I hit send I got a brain storm... I
just do this:
<?PHP
$month = date('m');
if ($month == "11"){
echo "turkey";
}else{
echo "No turkey";
}
?>
Or something similar, I'll try and feather it out and see how it
works for multiple holidays :) (IE: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New
Years, Halloween etc. etc.)

And how will the application know when you are dead?
When you stop paying for hosting, the application get's the idea when
it's bits go poof!
If anyone ever noticed, my web site (http://sperling.com) has a tree
on it that changes with the seasons. I use:
$dates = getdate();
$month = $dates['mon'];
$w = "http://www.sperling.com/css/seasons/";;
switch( $month )
{
case "03": case "04": case "05":
$var = $w . "spring.jpg";
break;
case "06": case "07": case "08" :
$var = $w . "summer.jpg";
break;
case "09": case "10": case "11":
$var = $w . "fall.jpg";
break;
case "12": case "01": case "02":
$var = $w . "winter.jpg";
$break;
}
echo($var);
And this code is called from within my css file for a background
image. Yes, I use variables in css.
Cheers,
tedd

Hi all:
I'm working on a project that requires frequent updating of a large amount
of data to a MySQL database. Currently, I'm trying to transfer a CSV file to
the server, have it process the file, and then delete it once the processing is
complete. Rather than waste the up-front time of having to upload the file
(which is currently timing out without fully uploading the file and I have no
idea how to resolve this!), is it possible to have the server open the
specified file remotely and read it using the fgetcsv() function? If so, how?
Any help you can give me will be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
How big is the file? fgetcsv() will read any file that you can get a
handle to using fopen() or fsockopen(), including remote files.
However, if allow_url_fopen is not enabled, you can't use fopen().
Also if the file is so large that your script is timing out while
waiting for it to be uploaded, it could also timeout just trying to
read the file remotely as well.
Andrew

Go into your php.ini file and increase the script timeout length, which should
allow the upload to finish.

Thanks, Wolf. I'm going to have to do a lot of long processes -- uploads,
queries, and the like -- and I appreciate knowing that I can adjust that.
Now if I can just find the PHP.INI file.... (Stupid GoDaddy-shared-domains;
can't find anything on 'em.)

Hi Andrew:
Thanks for the reply.
If I use fopen() to open the remote file, how do I specify its location?
Isn't it going to need to know not only the address of the computer I'm
using but the path on that computer to the file? Does it get all that from
the name I pass over to it?
Also, can I adjust the allow_url_fopen setting from within a PHP script,
or do I need to manually set it in the PHP.INI file? The server I'm
using -- not my own; this is for a friend -- is a shared server with GoDaddy
and they make it so incredibly hard to find anything.
Thanks!
Jon

you probably won't be able to edit PHP.ini with shared-hosting. The other
solutions, one I can think of it now - you can use PHP to upload files from
remote computer to the server at certain time, and set schedule with cron to
run your PHP scripts on your server.
Good luck

Thanks, Wolf. I'm going to have to do a lot of long processes -- uploads,
queries, and the like -- and I appreciate knowing that I can adjust that.
Now if I can just find the PHP.INI file.... (Stupid GoDaddy-shared-domains;
can't find anything on 'em.)

Hi again, Andrew:
You had asked some questions that I forgot to address with my previous
reply, so here goes:
The test file that I'm using -- which probably is a small version of the
normal file -- is around 60 MB in size (just under 30,000 records).
I checked the phpinfo info and it appears that the allow_url_fopen
setting is set to "On," which I take is a good thing. How, then, do I
specify the filename at the server so that it points back to the file that
is on my computer (or whatever computer is trying to initiate the process)?
Thanks again for your help,
Jon

That sounds like a rather large file to process anyway. You might need
to use some scheduled task like Lance suggested to copy the file and
then open it locally. I'm not sure how GoDaddy hosting works.

It's pretty typical, but you never know without checking since it is an option.

The file has to be accessible from the server through either a web
path or some sort of file share or local file path. So if the server
can see the file as http://remoteserver/remotefile.csv,
\\remoteserver\remotefile.csv, etc., you can use that path.

There is set_time_limit() that works from the script as long as
safe_mode is not enabled.

Go into your php.ini file and increase the script timeout length,
which
should allow the upload to finish.

Warning... this is ajax-related and not necessarily PHP (even though it
calls PHP scripts). I sent this to several JS lists, but haven't received a
response, so I thought I'd query this list to see if anyone here had an
idea.

Hi, I got a strange problem: Using php 4.4.x, I capture the whole output for a
webpage into the output-buffer by using ob_start and ob_get_clean, because I
got to make some replacements in the html-code before sending the page to the
browser.
This worked fine with a small page, but now I got a page for which the
html-code is about 280 KB (not too big I think). But I get an server-error 500
for this script on my linux-based webhoster.
I tried to run it on an local WAMP-installation - it worked without error.
I temporarly deleted some of the output - it worked without error.
I turned of the output-buffering - it worked without error.
I printed memory_get_usage, but it never exceeded 2 MB (I load about 200
records from a database and create objects from it and then print the data of
these 200 records).
On phpinfo(), memory_limit of my webhoster is 40M - so 2MB SHOULD be no problem.
I increased the memory-limit to 64M - it doesn't help.
Any idea what I could do next? I got no access to the apache error-log, but the
error is definitely connected to the output buffer and how much I try to store
in it.
Any help is welcome.
Regards
Wuschba

After doing some reading, I figured out that I was causing a race condition
because my request was declared globally. I fixed this by making it local.
So, it had nothing to do with the addPoint() function, but I just saw the
affects there.
I read this here (http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/AJAX:Getting_Started)
on Step 3, Note 3.

Hi
I have installed php v5 on a windowsXP PC. Server is Apache 2.2.
Even though I have turned register globals on in the ini file, the php is still
not allowing the use of $HTTP_GET_VARS (and probably other similier variables),
and I am having to change my existing script to $_GET before they will run.
Any idea why the directive is being ignored?

You're using the wrong option.
Register globals is for the auto-creation of variables passed through
GET, POST, etc.
What you want is register_long_vars (or something like that, long
variables, long arrays...)

I tried:
$a=$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
echo "<p>REMOTE_ADDR=$a<br>";
if($a="192.168.250.108") {

echo "<p>a=$a<br>aa=$aa<br>location=$location<br>";
I get:
REMOTE_ADDR=192.168.250.108
XX
a=61.64.101.101
aa=XX
location=0
TW
a=61.64.101.101
aa=TW
location=0
as you can see, if I put the IP address in, I get the right answer (TW).
What am I doing wrong?
