Yup, window.opener it is.
Much thanks. I was surprised how much Googling I did and
didn't find that.

Not really anything to do with PHP there :p
Well, given the breadth the topics I've seen discussed on this
list I thought it would slide by.
But for my penance I'll ask the following:
"Is there a way to have a window opened with window.open()
inherit the parent windows JS environment... when it resides
in a much larger PHP/MySQL application?"
How's that for a qualifier! :)

Hi gang:
I have *my way* of handling this problem, but I would like to hear
how you guys do it.
Here's the problem -- let's say you have a database containing names
and addresses and you want "approved" users to be able to access the
data. As such, a user must login before accessing an editing script
that would allow them to review and edit the data -- nothing
complicated about that.
However, let's say you have more than one user accessing the editing
script at the same time and you want to make sure that any changes
made to the database are done in the most efficient manner possible.
For example, if two users access the database at the same time and
are editing different records, then there's no real problem. When
each user finishes editing they simply click submit and their changes
are recorded in the database. However, if two (or more) users want to
access the same record, then how do you handle that?
Cheers,
tedd

I would provide read access whatever the case. For write access I would
place a lock on the data for the first user to make the edit request.
The lock would have an expiry time, and the user in possession of the
lock could reset it if they need more time. Other users would be alerted
that another user is currently editing the data and that the lock will
expire in X minutes. If the user completes their edit before the timer
expires, then the timer will be automatically cleared upon commit of the
changes. Optionally, the user who doesn't get the lock could be alerted
to what user currently has the lock. Additionally, if we get complicated
we could allow a higher authority to steal the lock and alert the user
making edits.
Cheers,
Rob.

I would load up the current db values at the beginning of the edit form
and store them in the session. Then on the processing page look them up
again and see if they match the session values. If not, then load the
edit form again with a message that says the record has recently been
updated by someone else.

Use a DBMS? I'm sorry if that seems flippant, but a DBMS handles this by
queuing the requests, which is one of the advantages of a client-server
DBMS.
So maybe I don't understand your question.

Hello,
I was wondering if there was any way I can create an image from some
text with php?
For Eg: I have a text box that will have a number/letter combo,
I want it to dynamically gen the num/lett combo,
then create say a transparent png of that number/letter combo then
display it to the user.
Can I take this text box and make it a png?
Any pointers or insight appreciated.
If anyone happens to knows of a javascript equiv., that would work too.
TIA

One thing to bear in mind is that this introduces extra server load if
the image is generated dynamically for each visit to a page. It's best
to save the image once it's first created and use that file if it exists
the next time round.

Hello all,
I am processing an array to build an INSERT string in PHP. The code
below I build an a separate array for the TARGET fields and the VALUES.
I am trying to trap for a NULL ENTRY in a Date Input Field. Date
fields are identified with: $ffield['s']=='/'
I tried to add the "&& !empty($fval)" to the test but it is giving my
an unexpected results. In my case, I have a Data of Birth field that
keeps populating in the future: So 1941-06-16 inserts in the DB as
2041-06-16.
foreach($form_fields as $ffield){
$fval = is_array($ffield['f'])?joinFields($ffield['s'],
$ffield['f']):$_POST[$ffield['f']];
$query_values[] = "'".mysql_real_escape_string($ffield['s']=='/'
&& !empty($fval) ?date('y-m-d',strtotime($fval)):$fval)."'";
}
Will anyone point out the problem with this CODE?

Hi,
I want to know which file name is appropriate for a interface. Today, for a
PHP class I use: NAME.class.php. What about a interface? Is there a
definition about it ?
