Hello
I have a swf that runs a PHP script that generates a XML, on the PHP

Hugo.
You might want to check the HTTP_REFERER value; test the program from a
browser and the swf, and see what happens. Alternatively you could use a
GET parameter like
http://example.com/yourscript.php?calledby=swf
Be aware that anything sent back from the client can be spoofed - and
HTTP_REFERER can be altered or disabled - so it probably wouldn't be
hard for someone to make it appear to your script that it is being
called by your SWF.
If you're really concerned about restricting the communication between
the Flash movie and your server, there might be some way to build a
challenge-response mechanism into the flash; I don't know much about it.
If, on the other hand, you just don't want to confuse someone who might
accidentally run the XML-generating script from the browser, checking a
GET parameter as above is probably the safest. If it's not set properly,
redirect the user, eg:
if (!isset($_GET['calledby']) || $_GET['calledby'] != 'swf') {
header('Location: http://example.com/thecorrectpage.html');
exit();
}

Are you talking about Ruby-On-Rails, which is a framework, or about Ruby?
Well, to point out my view, I have to admit that PHP is not really good
written. In some functions the needle is the first argument, second the
haystack and vise-versa in other functions.
And talk about OOP with PHP, well, it is -working- but not as like as you know
from Java. In Java I can create a type-hinted hash-map in one line, by the
type-hint is an interface. Very nice and small code. :)
Ruby might also be able to do this. In PHP I have to write a class which does
this for me.
Well, what I want to say is that you cannot compare PHP with wether RoR nor
Java. RoR is a framework, PHP is not. Java is 99.99% pure OO, PHP is not.
Hope that gives you an idea. :)
And btw: Hello. I'm new to this list. ;-)

Sorry dude, RoR is still an academic toy. And not the most successful one, since
I've heard people talking like you back in 2005. Ruby on Rails is not new and
has not proved anything yet.
It's an arrogant language, so much arrogant that its community pretend it can
fix the world. Back in 2005 I was very enthusiastic and thought it could have a
future, but after confirming what other poster said "the RoR community is
insane", I didn't give a f... anymore.
I believe it will become some piece of *enterprise-class* piece of dust in the
best of scenarios. In the meantime, the web moves towards PHP more and more. And
if they need a fat cat... they don't use RoR, just the "Tom Cat".
Look at it this way, in 2001 M$ released the .Net Framework. It's been 7 YEARS
since PHP is STILL the leader and will be so for many more years. And .Net has
the "glorious" Visual Studio IDE, compiled code, built-in caching, and
idiot-proof tools, and has the BIGGEST software company behind. Do you think
that the work of "a man" can do much more than that? Specially, a man that has
the arrogance of a big Co.?
"In March 2007 David Heinemeier Hansson filed three Rails related trademark
applications to the USPTO. These applications regard the phrase "RUBY ON RAILS",
the word "RAILS" and the official Rails logo. As a consequence, in the summer of
2007 Hansson denied to Apress the permission to use the Rails logo on the cover
of a new Rails book written by some authoritative community members. The episode
gave rise to a polite protest in the Rails community. In response to this
criticism, Hansson made the following claims:
<quote>
I only grant promotional use [of the Rails logo] for products I'm directly
involved with. Such as books that I've been part of the development process for
or conferences where I have a say in the execution. I would most definitely seek
to enforce all the trademarks of Rails
</quote>
Sorry, even if it was the ONE AND ONLY programming language... I will dismiss it
until it becomes a "business need", as I don't even trust its creator. PHP is
easy to deal with, it's free... and IT GETS THE JOB DONE. You mentioned
something about projects done on RoR you can share... why don't you show us your
PHP work instead? Maybe you like RoR more because you suck at PHP.

Rob

Hi, can somebody please point out something to me? Did I miss something?
Is there some initiation needed on this list which I've missed?
How come it is acceptable for grown up (you DO have pubic hair don't
you?), mature and decent people to call names and try to convince each
other of having a bigger, better whatever than the other etc.?
Is that PHP-list culture? Is it something to get used to? Is it the core
of senior PHP-developers or what?
So, explain it to me, what is it that I could have missed? Is it
somewhere in the archives? Is it explained on some FAQ page? Does it
take some potions by full moon on a 3rd friday in may to get into this
state?
It is OK do discuss a subject, to get overheated by passion, ignorance,
irritation, misunderstanding or a mix of all of them. But isn't calling
names and comparing bodyparts (and what not) something for kinder garten?
I'm not here to preach, I'm here to learn. So initiate me, tell me what
is so important that we keep putting energy into convincing somebody
that he's an idiot, a dumbass, an elite RoR fetishist etc. Does it give
you a good feeling? Can I try? Should I try? Is it worth it? Will I
become as enlightened as some of you are?
I don't want to miss out on this great experience, if it is worth it. It
must be something amazing, really. If that makes the PHP community as
great as it has become, I want to join and put some effort in this
marvelous activity.

don't use obscenities, this just look stupid on your part when someone google

It's called discussion, you both walk og talk your stuff, so do others and if
smart enought, someone may learn something from it.

It's people with opinions, strong ones to at times.

You got different kinds of people here, like me, just doing this for a hobby,
I can take some new age weird nerdy talk of nonecense.
However, there are those who do this for a living (not just php, but web
design or lamp og wamp (how is that for a acronyme =D?)), they don't take
lightly on having a serious discussion with someone who just f* around
telling halftruths.

Everybody has those, has to do with experience, and the respect for those who
know what they talk about (that would be those who do this for a living)

Discuss that on a civil dunno, some cafe bar hangaround chat page... If you on
the other hand got some problem with your php code, some questions for what
you are looking for (i.e. what set of commands is capable of doing...) you've
come to the right page.

noones hindering you, just keep in mind that much of these ppl do this for a
living and time/money/effort/payoff vs the hobbyist thinkering and thoughts
is often two completly different mindsets
at least, THAT is what I read from the list these last couple of years.

It works like follows...
- $z asserts $a or claims $b
- $y disagrees with $a or $b or both and responds with rebuttal $h
and makes claims $c, $d, sometimes $e
- $z responds with rebuttal $i and often asserts a few other things
that well call $f, $g
- $x throws in $Q
- $w throws in $wtf
- $foo, $fee, and $fii join in
- $someone mentions $TLC
- $o calls us all immature
- $SJHSKJ mentions Nazis
- $x invokes Godwin's Law
- $y asserts Quirk's Exception
- $G_Zus resurrects point $d
- $nobody wins
- $r, $u, $stillWithMe
Cheers,

Hi all. I am looking for a web host for a site. The usual host I work with is
missing some important functionality, so I need to look elsewhere for this
project. Specifically, I need web host that offers the following:
- PHP 5.2.x
- SOAP support
- MySQL 5.0.x
- Allows .htaccess configuration
My current host is fine aside from the SOAP support, which is missing.
Does anyone have any good recommendations for such a host? I'd prefer shared
(it shouldn't be a super-high-traffic site), but if necessary I'm open to
dedicated if it's not too pricey. I am willing to pay for quality service (so
I don't need a cheapo $5/month site).

Larry,
I'm on 5.2.4 on the primary server right now, and if you need
something installed at root level, it's usually no problem (especially
for things like SOAP). Send me a message off-list if you haven't
already found what you're looking for, and if you want references,
there are some on the list here even who host some sites with me. Let
me know and I'm sure it won't be a problem to have them give you an
*honest* opinion about things.
Plus, for a few people here, I don't have much issue with granting
sudo.... but don't tell anyone else. ;-P

maybe the zero index does not exist.

I have always used
error_reporting(E_ALL);
instead of this.
error_reporting(0);
set_error_handler('error_handler');
ini_set('error_reporting', 0);
I have never seen the above line before. This and the error_reporting(0) would
probably suppress all error messages generated by PHP. Double check these
settings and make sure the you can still trigger an error with trigger_error()
if you have error_reporting() turned off.
//trigger_error("The string for testing the error", E_USER_WARNING);
$ourFileName = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($ourFileName, 'X');// or die("Can't open file");

I started making my own a while ago and never totally finished it. I think
it does actually work, but is somewhat incomplete and unpolished. You're
welcome to what I started if it helps. It's relatively simple stuff (at
least for the basic events). I left in the notes I was keeping in
comments with reference links and sample ICS data:

hiChris,
i've read several forums where this mail() function from PHP initial
package is not so great.
mail() works fine.
phpmailer (and zendmailer, swiftmailer and other such packages) help you
with things like:
- sending through an smtp server
- putting a multipart email together
- adding attachments
- embedding images in your email content
and a whole bunch of other stuff so you don't have to write the code to
do all of that.
There's nothing fancy in any of them, and if you don't tell them to send
through an smtp server, they use the normal mail() command (in most
cases I think anyway).

My view...
$strDate = '02/23/2008';
//
$intDate = strtotime($strDate);
$numDaysInMonth = date('t', $intDate);
$dayOfWeek = date('w', $intDate);
$dayOfMonth = date('j', $intDate);
If ($dayOfWeek == 5 && $numDaysInMonth - $dayOfMonth < 7) {
echo "Friday Party!";
} else {
echo "Sorry dude, you missed it";
}
Btw, read the manual (and don't think to be so lucky to not found any bugs in my
code).

$month = 3;
$year = 2008;
for ($day = 31; $day >= 21; $day--) { // maximum of 7 days, but
february starts at 28
$tmp_time = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);
if (date('w', $tmp_time) === '5') { // 5 = friday
return date('d-m-Y', $tmp_time);
// return $day.'-'.$month.'-'.$year; // without the function
it is faster off course
// echo 'Yeah, friday!';
}
}
Something similar worked for me to find out when daylight saving time is.

When running this same script through apache however, it works fine without
the port directive. However, I get no results when attempting to connect to
port 8080. Command line curl works fine too. It's only when connecting
through apache that my script fails.
Here are some specifics about my environment:
Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat)
libcurl/7.15.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8b zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5
PHP/5.1.6
Any help/suggestions will be *greatly* appreciated!! This is driving me
nuts!
Your host could have it blocked in the firewall.
It could be SeLinux getting in the way.
Not sure about other suggestions :)
Add a verbose call:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
and maybe set the error log for it to use:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_STDERR, '/path/to/file.log');

Hi,
How can I send multiple values from a form to be stored in a database, as
name of the fields is the same?
For example:
<?php
foreach ($field_data as $field) {
$field_name=$field["field_name"];
$field_id=$field["field_id"];
$datatype=$field["datatype_name"];
?>
<input type="hidden" name="field_id" value="<?php echo $field_id;?>" />
<tr>
<td><strong><?php echo $field_name;?><strong></td>
<?php
if ($datatype=="text" || $datatype=="integer") {
echo "<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"field_data\"></td>";
}
elseif ($datatype=="textarea") {
echo "<td><textarea rows=\"10\" cols=\"100\"
name=\"field_data\"></textarea><br></td>";
}
echo "</tr>";
}
?>
This creates a form with field names and text box or textarea box next to
each field name depending on the datatype. After the user enters the
values in the text or textarea and clicks submit, the values should get
stored in a database. But what is happening is that only the value entered
in the last field of the form is getting entered into the database.
This code is embedded in an application which is having an inbuilt
structure of taking the values from a form in a hash. Since key is the
same (i.e. field_id) everytime, the value gets overwritten and only the
last value gets stored in db. But I am not able to work out a solution for
this.
I hope I am able to make my problem clear enough.
Thanks,
Suamya.
