I have to agree that OOP is much better in abstracting than user defined
functions... why?
To return some data and display in a HTML table it i do:
$db = new DB;
$db->query("SELECT foo from bar");
$t = new Table;
echo $t->create($db->data);
Pretty easy. Now i could have all these have be functions
$data = query($connection_details,"SELECT foo from bar");
echo create_table($data);
But....
What if i wanted a special connection specified as myDB that was consistant
through out my site? Or what if my table creation function has over 30
different options setable (colours, fonts, spacing by cells, columns, rows
and table)? This becomes difficult with pure functions as you end up with
echo
create_table($data,"nowrap","black",null,"white",null,null,null,"Tahoma",12,
null,null,null,array(array("bold")));
instead of
$t = new Table;
$t->options = "nowrap";
$t->heading["bgcolor"] = "black";
$t->heading["fontcolor"] = "white";
$t->global["font"] = "tahoma";
$t->global["fontsize"] = 12;
$t->column["total"]["format"] = "bold";
echo $t->create($db->data);
// Create another table with similiar properties, but different data
echo $t->create($mydb->data);
What if wanted to make my table definition reusable (you would have to make
sure all these class's are included like your functions)
class myTable extends Table {
var $options = "nowrap";
var $heading["bgcolor"] = "black";
var $heading["fontcolor"] = "white";
var $global["font"] = "tahoma";
var $global["fontsize"] = 12;
var $column["total"]["format"] = "bold";
}
Then from then on you could just call
$t = new myTable;
echo $t->create($db->data);
Now if change my definition of what a myTable should look like i change it
once, not in everyfile as you might with functions. (You could however
define a new function called create_myTable that does something similiar).
The last benefit is that with phpdoc and similiar tools class's can be
autodocumented which is very nice.
Readability, maintainability and reusability are much higher with OOP.

another feature that is a basic feature of oop stuff is the idea of
inheritence. So you can have a base class (CAR) that defines
behaviour common to all instanaces of that class (var wheels, var door,
method car start, method car turn signal on, etc...) Then you can
subclass the CAR class to define specific behaviour for a particular
car model (SPORTSCAR - var turbo, method car turbo on, etc..).
again, depending on what you are doing, this can be very beneficial.
I suggest you start small and also take a look at other people's code.
You will find alot of classes out there that make alot of sense and
can give you ideas of new ways of doing things....

oop should be used when you want to create things to manipulate in your
program that are of a consistent structure. A simple example I use is for
company contact details and addresses. By creating a contact class I can do
...
include("path/contact.pc");
$thiscontact = new contact("company_code");
// and then
$thiscontact->display();
$thiscontact->save();
$thiscontact->delete();
// etc.
the class methods take care of all the mysql data gathering so you don't
have to worry about it after you've written the class. If your data
structure changes (or even the name of the database or server) just change
the class definition.
What I wouldn't use classes for is collecting variables together (use
associative arrays).

I don't want to start an OOP flame thread here, so I'll shut up after this
posting - it's just that nobody is speaking up for not using OOP :)
The point needs to be made that code reuse, readability and maintainability
do not come from whether or not you choose to use OOP techniques. They come
from a combination of careful thought, planning, skill and experience.
In almost all cases, whatever you write will be executed by a microprocessor
that knows nothing of OOP, but just plods through a sequence of
instructions, occasionally shooting off to execute a subroutine or two. What
this shows is that whatever fine OOP constructs you devise they can be
represented in the plain old procedural world.
I'm pretty sure that most of the OOP tricks PHP does are done by pretending
that things are objects but really they are arrays, and as you might expect,
the procedural way to implement the same functionality is to use arrays!
Mark's example comparing:
create_table($data,"nowrap","black",null,"white",null,null,null,"Tahoma",12,
null,null,null,array(array("bold")));
with:
$t = new Table;
$t->options = "nowrap";
$t->heading["bgcolor"] = "black";
$t->heading["fontcolor"] = "white";
$t->global["font"] = "tahoma";
$t->global["fontsize"] = 12;
$t->column["total"]["format"] = "bold";
could more fairly have used something like:
$t=create_table();
$t['options'] = "nowrap";
$t['heading']['bgcolor']= "black";
etc.
As you can see, there is hardly any difference at all.
My point is really that you can use whatever technique you want, but you can
get your code reuse, readability and maintainability from either. As you
might have guessed, I favour procedural as I feel that more of the code is
visible and in my control.
YMMV

you could do something like:
$parameters["options"] = "nowrap";
$parameters["heading"]["bgcolor"] = "black";
$parameters["heading"]["fontcolor"] = "white";
$parameters["global"]["font"] = "tahoma";
$parameters["global"]["fontsize"] = 12;
$parameters["column"]["total"]["format"] = "bold";
echo create_table($data,$parameters);
The difference is a matter of style.

Maybe so, I never used it. To me, the main reason to use OOP is when
you're dealing with Java or something and native code is dealing with
your objects. For instance laying out widgets on a screen might need
that your widget extend Widget and have a draw() method.
I've never had a situation with php where I thought doing things this
way would make things easier.

keep the images in a folder on the file system and link the filename of the
picture to the product tuple in the dataabse.
I would suggest you use the product ID as the filename for the picture in
the folder. that shoudl amke it easier for you to administer.

With ereg_replace it must be done seperately, but if you use
preg_replace you can pass it a list of replacements. like this:
<?php
$string = "this is my string.";
print $string . "<br>\n";
$string = preg_replace(
array( '/my/', '/string/' ),
array( 'your', 'bit of text' ),
$string
);
print $string . "<br>\n";
?>
The output would be:
this is my string.
this is your bit of text.

Yes, you could access oracle server using PHP without any web server.
Just compile it as a CGI (without any kind of web server flag).
But it still has the same instruction manual.
Try looking at "Oracle Functions" or "Oracle 8 Functions" at PHP manual.
Hope it help.

Hello,
I am outputting different french accents on my webpages.
They are imported in MySQL and there with a simple select I can see the
accents are
in good condition:
e.g.: Adresse lié à un atlas électronique
But when I use PHP to process the label into for example a select box with
option fields,
I get something like this:
e.g.: <option value='Adresse li‚ … un atlas ‚lectronique' >Adresse li‚ … un
atlas ‚lectronique</option>
I suppose I should change something in MySQl or in the PHP settings, can
anyone point me to the setting?
Thanks in advance,

help!
i want to get started!
how do configure Apache to work with PHP?
apparently it is not because my browser will not "find" the test files.php.
please help me to test it.
i am using Mac OS X (pb) so i should follow any Unix procedure ok, i think.
thank you.
Hi all
I tried to build a script that displays the 'save-file dialog', because the
files that should be downloaded
are huge 32bit jpeg for printing. the problem is that it works in IE on PC,
Netscape on PC and MAC, but
not in IE on a MAC. the files are jpeg, IE on Mac either tried to open the
files ( which does not work,
because they are CYMK), or displayes the filename 'download.php' in the save
dialog ....
PLEASE HELP!!!! our designers can't be the only persons to use Mac on the
world...
i tried everycombination of the following headers, but without success...
thanks
sebastian
code :
/*
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: inline;
filename=\"".basename($download)."\"");
set_time_limit(0);
readfile($download) or die ("File nicht gefunden oder sonstiger
Fehler aufgetreten.");
*/
header("Content-Type: application/download\n");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"$download\"");
set_time_limit(0);
readfile($download);
/*
header("Content-Type: application/download\n");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$download\"");

I'm putting togeather a simple website buider app.
i'm allowing users to upload images.I'm wondering whether i should store
those images in a database or create dirs for each user.the mysql db has a
relatively small capacity but storing them to the db might make it simpler
for me.
also ftp functions don't work on the server and my damn isp keeps fobbing me
off when i ask him to do anything.

I would make an upload form and put the image on the server. IMHO, but
that's only because I've never really worked with BLOB values in mySQL

Hy there everyone on the board 8), just a new listviewer droppign in.
In case of displaying \n that are stored in a variable or com from a DB or
inptu field you can also use nl2br($var) which automatically converts those
linebreaks to <br> and so get displayed correctly. Though that will not work
for the tabs.

OR you could tell apache to parse everything that ends with .inc with php.
you can name it .inc .linux .linuxsucks .microsoftsucks
(you'll need to have access to http.conf or .htaccess+right to override ...)

I think putting PHP configuration files under web document directory is not
recommended.For most PHP files, that user never have to see, are better to
place outside of web docuemnt directory.
However, I prefer to separate PHP code and HTML as much as possible. So I
put some files that has non-standard extentions under web document
direcutory.
You can setup Apache to deny any request for *.inc file, or whatever
extention, just like .htaccess. If you want to put *.inc, or whatever, I
strongly recommend to deny all the request to those files.

Hi,
There certain common issues that arise with many beginners. Take a
look at this article http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/Languages/PHP/Debugging/
. At the end of this article is a check list of a few things to consider
when everything doesn't go exactly right.

Would people like to list bad practices and also point us
newbies to any articles online dealing with syntax, correct
use of single and double quotes etc.?
I would like to get a good handle on these issues right
from the beginning. As a Web designer I like to use
standard HTML and do everything correctly even if the
browser is forgiving. I notice that a LOT of programmers
write bad HTML and I would imagine many of the publicly
available PHP scripts aren't exactly kosher either. What are
some of the most objectionable things you see? Thanks.

Which is why anyone with a clue makes any special extensions they use
protected by the web server. Which is why I protect .inc, .cfg, .class,
etc. It's also a good idea not to store config-type files in the web tree.

the server is local, I'm running it (apache 1.3.12)...
I set the error_reporting to the default in php.ini, I even set error_reporting(E_ALL),
but all I got were warnings about every thing PHP did, nothing MySQL related...
but nevermind, I've already fixed me a function that I call EVERY query
I run (altough I find this very annoying) that tells me when there's a sql
syntax error...

Personally, I've tried quite a few, including those mentioned.
Somehow I always end up back in HomeSite (actually Cold Fusion Studio, the advanced
brother of Homesite).
But, if you want a free editor, try scITE available at www.scintilla.org, it's free
and available for windows and linux.
cheers,
Thor.

I write all my code in a normal plain-text editor, whatever is available
on whatever OS I'm using - usually Linux. On MacOS I have a handy tool
called BEdit (I think) that allows me to do a multiple-file search and
replace. The only problem is it's a hassle to move a couple hundred
makes of source files back and forth over the network so I'd rather do
it on the server itself. Does anyone know of a good tool for doing such
a search and replace? If it only works on individual files that is okay
as I can always add the multiple-file abilties. I'd like it to be a
freely available open source program if possible. I know I can do this
sort of thing w/ Perl, and have, but Perl is a less than perfect tool in
this case so I'd like something made for the purpose. Thanks.

Actually, I find BBEdit quite nice for PHP - I keep two windows open, one
to BBEdit and one to a telnet session on my linux server. The really cool
part is I can cut and paste into vi using regular old command-c and
command-v, since linux doesn't care about them :)
So I drop the changes in, :w to apply, and then pull up a browser on the Mac
to check... works great for me!

I still strongly recommend UltraEdit. It is SO flexible its unbelievable.
It also allows you to load from and save to files on an FTP server which
saves me , god I can't even measure how much that saves me.

I have done both of these things, as they are in the instructions. In the
installation file, it lists the lines that need to be added to the

Hello,
I try to code a script where users can upload files to the server. Whenever
I hit the submit button PHP crashes. I run PHP 3.0.17, Apache 1.3 on a Win98
SE machine. My code looks like this:
<form action="myscript.php3" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="myfile">
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
Is this a known problem in the Win32 distribution or has anyone some hints?
Best regards,
Uli
Hi gurus,
this is a somewhat update of the previous mail, never received an answer
to the original post. And it might be, that this list is the wrong
audience for my real problem.
The problem still exists, that apache httpd 1.3.14 is not starting, if
the "php" related things are in httpd.conf at start time.
However: if i comment the 2 lines, added by make install from php, in
httpd.conf , start the server with apachectl start, uncomment those 2
lines and send kill -1 to the first httpd process, everything (even with
oci8) works ok.
Anybody seen this , please advise.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

If I have a lib.so file can I just link it in with php and have access to the
functionality in lib.so? If not can someone show me the way to adding things to
php?

No, you can't just add random .so libraries directly like that. You will
have to write a PHP extension that maps the API implemented by your
library to a set of user-callable PHP functions. The ext/ext_skel script
gets you on your way towards writing such an extension, but you need to be
an experienced C programmer to actually do this.

I've been programming in C all my life, and now I just started developing
in PHP and I'm really enjoying it, it has all the missing improvements that
C needed to be more user-likely.
But one thin I can't get, how can PHP call a variabel global, if it isn't
global.
A global var, is a var defined outside all functions and it's available
to all and altered by all, without having to redefine or call the var again.
In PHP, for a var to be global you have to add a 'global $var' inside the
function u want to use it. THis is not nice, what about if u have a form
with 50 fields and want a function to validate all of them, u have to pass
them all to the function or build a little piece of code to make all th
$GLOBALS local right?
Is this really the idea of global vars?

Well having a form with LOTS of fields, it might be advisable to have
the fields send an array straigt away
have the name of your fields something like <.. name="feedback[name]"
..> and just use global $feedback and the whole array is at your
disposition.
This doens't change the way global is treated in PHP but might help
you in your setup. having these in an array will also greatly make
sessions easier, if you have to follow all these fields on multiple
pages.

Yes. But with regards to form variables, all you need to do is
make one variable global:
$HTTP_POST_VARS
it is an associative array that contains all the post variables from
the form. Make it global and just loop through it.

exactly, u need to loop to an array to get the globals u want.
this is not the idea of global, global is global... if it's set outside
of ALL functions it should be available 'with no extra code' to ALL functions,
it works that way in all programming language I'm familiar with... why not
in PHP? that's what I wanna know, why globals in PHP doesn't really work
like globals?

Perhaps I'm missing something. In order to access the value of any
variable defined outside the scope of the function, you have to declare
it as "global". This is true in every single instance. If you do not, then
you cannot access the value of that variable. While it's been a while
since I've worked with C, I seem to recall it being the case there as
well. And in Pascal. And in VB. Again, it's been a while so I could be
wrong (but don't think so).
Also, PHP was written in C. Why would they institute a behaviour
that was radically different than what is part of the parent language?

That may be your definition of a global variable. It isn't mine. The
fact that you have some way to access the variable from every scope makes
it global by my definition.
Also, all global variables are available via $GLOBALS['var_name']. And if
you really do have 50 global variables, you should really appreciate this
feature as your chances of having local/global variable overlaps which can
cause weird bugs is that much higher. I would suggest grouping your
variables into logical arrays of information and doing a 'global' on these
arrays instead.

If you have a form with 50 fields, name them like this:
<input type="text" name="blah[abc]">
<input type="text" name="blah[def]">
<input type="text" name="blah[ghi]">
Then simply make do: global $blah

The idea is to avoid really nasty scope-related bugs that are common in C
code that uses lots of global variables. Years and years ago when I wrote
the first version of PHP I was working for a telco writing software for a
large telephone switch. The code was huge and extremely ugly. Global
variables everywhere. The team had been chasing a bug for about a week
when I got stubborn and decided it was time to kill the bug. I printed
out all the source code and laid it out in a long hallway as I crawled
along with different coloured pens and manually traced my way through it
as none of the debuggers we had at the time were of any use. After
countless hours the bug turned out to be inside a function that silently
modified a global variable which affected another piece of code in a
completely different part of the program.
I swore I would not have the same problem in PHP and thus the requirement
for people to be explicit about using global variables inside functions.
Hopefully it also forces a little bit of structure and organization on
people.

Not realy. In most languages, heck , all I can think of, the variable's
scope is simply dependant on WHERE it was declared, not how it was declared.
If in C/C++ you define a variable outside the scope of any function, then it
becomes global and can be accessed by any function.
I'm not arguing one side or the other, just stating :) I personally find the
PHP way a bit annoiying, but its workable, and i'm SURE there was a reason
for it. Just not sure what that reason was :)

Hear, hear and thank you Rasmus. It seems to me that the several other ways
folks have listed to solve this one example indicates that we don't really
need the temporary convenience of wide open globals (temporary as in it
doesn't end up very convenient when they create problems).

I was always tought very simply, don't use globals :)
However, that isn't always an option. I have no problems with the way PHP
does things. I think its a good idea for the shelter. What I find
interesting is that it seems when you are first learning a language, you use
more globals, than when you are more experienced with it. When I first
started programmig in C, 99% of my variables were global. Look at any of my
C/C++ code nowadays, over 10 years later, and you will be hard pressed to
find a global.
PHP is still new to me, so i'm still trying to use alot of globals. Because
of the way PHP handles it, i'm jumping through a few hoops. That is
annoying, but I don't consider it a problem, because as I get better, I know
I will go back through and rewrite things to not use globals. I guess my
confusion is this: I am passing all my variables around between scripts by
sending them through the URLs (index.php?mode=index). I guess what "annoys"
me, is I would expect those to be available from inside the functions, but
they aren't.

thanks...
now I have an answer I can swallow... cuz I simply didn't get why PHP (which
came from C) had a differente behaviour according to globals.
I never had any problem handling them, but in the other hand I never had
50 of them in a program.
I can understand that making global every single form variable would take
a whole lot of control by the compiler...
I just came with a nice foreach() to make my globals local, and I have to
put them in ALL my functions that handles form vars... I'll consider using
arrays in my next forms....
but hey, don't worry... PHP really kicks ASP ass in all matters! :)

I believe you use globals $var to ACCESS a global variable, not to
define.
If I understand correctly, and please correct me if I am wrong, this a
way to ge around the name space...
ex. for something like
$my_var = 10;
function test () {
$my_var = 15;
}
because of these variables are in a different name space, they are not
the same.
If you intended to change the first variable, then you should do
something like
function test() {
globals $my_var;
$my_var = 15;
}
This would change the value of $my_var from 10 to 15.
Please correct me, if I'm wrong.

That's correct. To be perfectly correct here, what you are doing is
creating a reference to the global variable. Think of it as an alias to
the same variable as the global variable.
global $foo;
would be equivalent to:
$foo = & $GLOBALS['foo'];
With the latter giving you the ability to use a different name for the
local reference to the globally-scoped variable.
-Rasmus
It's somewhat annoying to have to tell the function which variables are
global sometimes but overall it makes it easier to avoid stupid
mistakes. It is a good push to make me less prone to making things
global. Usually I just avoid using globals and then pack what I do use
into appropiate arrays and thus save myself most the hassle. In several
thousand lines of code I may have one or two global vars called.

Hi all,
Does someone know why fsockopen timeout does not work?
php3
$mydata=fsockopen($machine,$port,&$errno,&$errstr,30);
I think that this function should fail after 30
seconds, but it just blocks the script.

Ok, I made all the changes from $PHPSELF to $PHP_SELF, and i'm further along
with Netscape than before. However, it now seems that there are still some
statements that $PHP_SELF isn't evaluated in. However, now I can narrow it
down to certain statements:
WORKS:
echo "<P CLASS=Normal><A
HREF=$PHP_SELF?mode=index&category=root>Main</A> -> $category</P>";
DOES NOT WORK:
echo '<BR><A HREF="', $PHP_SELF, '?mode=sub_category&category=',
$category, '&sub_category=', urlencode($subcategories[$index]), '">',
$subcategories[$index], '</A>';

You are using commas instead of periods, use ".$PHP_SELF." instead of
",$PHP_SELF," (and for the other instances as well).

Huh? I am going off of the example from the PHP documentation:
>From http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php
echo '<A HREF="mycgi?foo=', urlencode ($userinput), '">';
So I am using that as a model:
echo ' A HREF=" ', $PHP_SELF, '?mode=index&category=',
urlencode($cateogory), ' ">Blah</A>';

I converted everythign over to use '.' instead of ',' but I still get the
same exact results. That is, $PHP_SELF is resolved to NULL, and every other
variable to the correct data. Here is the new string:
echo '<BR><A HREF="' .$PHP_SELF. '?mode=sub_category&category='
.$category. '&sub_category=' .urlencode($subcategories[$index]). '">'
.$subcategories[$index]. '</A>';
I think i'm just going to give up on this and rewrite it, because it DOES
work if I do the old double quotes bit. Just means I need to re-arrange it
and do it in multiple ECHO statements, because I can't do the urlencode() in
double quotes. But I would really like to understand WHY this doesn't work.
Again, all other varaibles are properly resolved, and in IE $PHP_SELF is
properly resolved.

Ok, I feel like the big idiot now.
I fixed the problem. It was because of the whole global bit. The ones that
were not working were inside a function, the ones that were working were
outside the function. I guess I ASSUMED (yeah we know what happens when you
do that) that things like $PHP_SELF were always global.
Sorry to have bothered everyone :(

A comma works when you use echo. Is there any reason why this is a bad idea?

Hi;
There's a great little proggie I use to scout out potential link exchange
partners for my clients called Zeus.
<disclaimer>
I have no financial interest in Zeus.
</disclaimer>
*However*, there are some facilities in this proggie I don't care for:
facilities designed to slow one down (and presumably keep the company from
being known as a developer of devices for spammers, not that I advocate
spamming). I also have a Linux box with a T-1 line that could kick serious
butt, and this (of course) is built for Windoze. That, plus the fact that I
now find I need a whole bunch of these robots and I'd like to legally skate
on the licencing fee :) Which (finally) brings me to my question: Does
anyone know of an open source program that does the same thing?
TIA,
BenO
There are modules in CPAN that do some of this -
the camel book I think has a chapter on that. Oreilly also
has/had a book out regarding writing robots and such.
Sample code should all work for perl - switching to PHP if you
want/need shouldn't be too hard.

Hey all,
New problem. I really hope there's something simple to do to fix it. Check out this
scenario and tell me if there's a step that I'm missing.
Inside my common footer on my site the very first call is to an include called
UserAuth.inc.php.
UserAuth.inc.php checks $REQUEST_URI to see if the present directory or URL is
protected or not.
If it is protected then it checks to see if $PHP_AUTH_USER is set. If it is then it
runs through the usual HTTP Authentication. If it fails it goes to a failure page, if
it succeeds then it logs the user in.
Now I can surf around on the site and that same authentication will continue to be
used for the rest of the site where ever another protected directory or file is found
(as to be expected).
Now to logout I have a page called logout.php. If you go to this page (which also
includes the same footer) there is another action that takes place.
If the $REQUEST_URI contains logout.php then I print the same "401" header that I
print for authentication and unset $PHP_AUTH_USER, $PHP_AUTH_PW and $AUTH_USER.
$AUTH_USER is the user authentication object in my class file UserAuth.class.php. I'm
just unsetting this so that no code will still have record of the old authentication
object to do anything with.
Now if I try to read the $PHP_AUTH_USER or $PHP_AUTH_PW variables anyplace on the site
they don't exist, until I go back to one of the protected pages. Then they
miraculously re-appear and are readily available once again without requiring the user
to log back in.
If you've got any ideas, suggestions, guesses or references, please reply. I've run
out of ideas. I can also provide the code that I'm using if you think it might just be
a problem with my logic. I don't think this is the case as I shouldn't be able to read
any variable that has been unset, but like I said, I'm running out of ideas.

Ive found the same thing and currently do not have a workaround, it seems
that browsers cache this. one method Ive thought of and never tested is to
set a session variable, cross reference that SessionID, PHP_AUTH_PW,
PHP_AUTH_USER are all valid, if not then your not loged in correctly. to log
out just unset SessionID. any future pages will not load. even if the
PW/USER are valid the Session wouldnt.
If the browser has cookies disabled, you have compiled php with --trans-sid,
and the user uses the back button the user would still be able to view
cached pages. you might want to put some fancy no-cache headers in there
somewhere and hope the browser supports them.
you might even want to impliment a time based system, set the SessionID =
time() on every header; but first check if the current SessionID < 30min old
then invalid login vs updateing SessionID to equal current time()
This would prevent anyone from viewing cached pages more then 30min old and
force them to re-login....

Chris,
I was afraid of that. I do have a contingency plan that is very similar to what you
suggested. Since this is all already interacting with the database I'm just going to
set a timestamp in the database in that users record and use that to determine if
someone is logged in or not. This would also give me the added benefit of expiring
sessions after a set period of inactivity. Then the login will require that
PHP_AUTH_USER, PHP_AUTH_PW, and the session timestamp are all valid. This should take
care of the problem.
Unfortunately, the back button will still allow users to see cached pages from logged
in sessions, but I guess you can't have everything. :-)
Thanks,
Toby

Yes, thats because the browser saves those variables (very bad idea, but what
can I say... I didn't write the code of netscape or IE).
At this moment I just finished coding a session login, logout hack. So I will
suggest you to read about sessions, read some articles in phpbuilder,
phpwizard and the documentation.

Don't unset the session ID, just destroy the session with session_destroy().

This feature is pretty cool. If it can't but a cookie in the browser, it
expands the URL with the SID, which is all you need, because the variables
you register are on the server side (file, database).

Hello,
Sorry if I am confused by the date functions in the manual but I am.
Here's what I want to do:
I have a string in the form MM/DD/YYYY. I wish to:
1) convert it to a date
2) add $n days to it
3) convert back to a string in the same format above
I believe I can accomplish [2] and [3] with:
$mytdate = date("m/d/Y",mktime(0,0,0,date("m")
,date("d")+$n,date("Y")));
How do I accomplish step 1?
Can I type cast a string to a date?
Thanks,
Don

No, but you can do this:
$startDate = explode( "/", $dateString );
$mytdate = date( "m/d/Y", mktime( 0, 0, 0, $startDate[0], $startDate[1]+$n,
$startDate[2] );

I need a better solution for reporting SQL errors.
I'm used to work with ASP, and whenever a query has a syntax error, it stops
the script and reports the error as if it was a compile error. This is very
usefull, but int PHP it doesn't work like that, I know.
I came with a function query_error() that I call after each query, that
prints out the query, the error and the line... so I need to call it like
this.
if(!$rs) query_error($query,__LINE__);
but having to writ this down after EVERY single query, along with the __LINE__
thing can get very boring, does anyone has a better solution?

works for me, just call it. change it to better match yours if you like.
function check_db($query = 'Unavailble')
{
global $store_db;
if ( mysql_errno() )
{
echo "Error: Problem with DataBase : $store_db<br>\n";
echo "Error: " . mysql_errno() . ':' . mysql_error() . "<br>\n";
echo "Query: $query<br>\n";
exit();
}
}
I havent played with a more automatic metod, ie. error_reporting();

What version of PHP are you using? If there's a syntax error in our
statements, it stops execution, just like ASP.
There are error_reporting levels you can play with, and have errors trigger
certain functions to handle the errors gracefully.

that's kinda what I have here... but the line of code isn't being shown...
and that is the problem... I for one, think that in an error message the
line of code is crucial.

Hi all,
I have a PHP web form setup for user to fill in information then email it to
me after pressing SUBMIT button. Everytime user uses double-quote(") or
single(') it inserts (/) right in front of " or '. Does anyone know why and
how to fix it? Please advise. Below is example of what I got from my email
when user submits form to me.
Topic: Added \"Initial login to the EMS\" procedure.
Thanks in advance,
David

Look up:
stripslashes();
Chris
I can help you there, as I had the same problem until someone else helped
me. This is because PHP will escape the input it gets. I think this is
dependant on some enviroment setting, but I can't recall which one.
To fix it you call stripslashes($var);

This is because you have magic_quotes_gpc set to ON, this setting can be
read about here :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#ini.magic-quotes-gpc
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-magic-quotes-gpc.php
Which, as you'll read about, adds the quotes automatically. Also, have a
look here :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.addslashes.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php
It will make sense.

The / is coming from $topic, how do I use stripslashes to remove / . Can
someone give me an example how to code it?
Here is my original PHP script:
<?
$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subject = "Update";
$message = "The following Webpage is added or updated:\n\nDate:
$date\nEquipment
: $equipment\nTopic: $topic\nURL: $url";
$mail_header = "From: $email";
mail( $to, $subject, $message, $mail_header ) or print "Could not send
mail";
print ("<HTML>\n");
print ("<HEAD>\n");
print ("<TITLE>$title</TITLE>\n");
print ("</HEAD>\n");
print ("<BODY BACKGROUND=\"images/bkgrnd.jpg\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n");
print ("<H3>Thank you. Your submission has been sent. <br><br><A
HREF=\"index.h
tml\">Back</A> to Home Page.\n");
print ("</BODY>\n");
print ("</HTML>");

Not really a JSP/PHP issue, but you mention that there's another developer.
Are you in a bidding war with this person? If you're vying for business,
don't get into putting JSP down, not out of hand anyway. Simply state
the benefits that PHP has to offer. Our machines may be weird, but we've
found that PHP running against servlets (on enhydra) - PHP generally
runs faster. This all depends on the JVM underneath of course, and I don't
remember which ones we tested. JSP seems to run even slower, though we
didn't do scientific testing. :) This doesn't mean JSP is bad, but that for
equivalent
performance, you may need more expensive hardware, which affects a
project's bottom line.
Assumption is that this would be a dedicated server - I don't know of too many
hosting companies that offer JSP service (sure they exist someplace tho).
Compare compilation time of JSP pages vs. the compilation time of PHP4 through
the APC. There doesn't seem to be any time at all with APC, yet with JSP there
is/was a noticeable compilation lag on the first execution of a page - I've been
told there are faster compilers, but we were using "standard" stuff. (getting
over
my head here, but I've *seen* the development effects of servlets, and JSP
gets compiled into servlets, so there's even an extra step there).
Again, if you're bidding, you'll lose if you just say 'JSP sucks'. There was
an zdnet article a few weeks ago - JSP/ASP/CF/PHP. PHP was the
fastest, JSP the slowest.
Good luck - contact me offlist if you want to discuss this further.

When you @ "at" a command (supress error messaging) within a function, is
the scope of the @ within the function?
Example:
CloseODBC(1);
# is error message supressed here too?
function CloseODBC($connection_id)
{
# error messaging supressed
@odbc_close($connection_id);
}
My understanding is, it simple supress the any messages generated from
the result. So I guess it is local.

Huh?
When you call CloseODBC (), the code in that function is executed - and
there odbc_close() is called with the "@" - so it doesn't report an error.

I am making ODBC connections and MySQL connections, and want to make sure
I'm closing my connection properly. Someone once replied that you do not
need to worry about terminating the query set (for MySQL), that PHP takes
care of this for you, is this true for the ODBC connection as well?
So what I am doing, is making a connection to the db, querying the db using
select statements, and then releasing the db connection with: mysql_close
or odbc_close. Is that good enough?
Thanks!
Karl
Karl,
That should be good enough. What you were told is true - PHP does close
connections when the script exits, but every so often this can fail, so
closing the connection explicitly is good practice.
Best regards,
Andrew

Hello all
I have recently been assigned the task of parsing an xml file and format the
contents of the file in HTML. The xml file lies on another server. Our web
space provider does not provide the XML functions (nor is he willing to
install them) :-gr.
I am sure that I am not the only who has come across this problem.
Would someone have already created a few functions to parse xml that they
are willing to share?
I have the following structure to deal with:
<faq>
<item>
<product>ProductName</product>
<question>Why does it not work</question>
<answer>Because it is not turned on<answer>
<item>
</faq>
There are whole load of <item>s in the file.
I then want to display the contents a bit like this:
echo $product;
echo $question;
etc (of course with some HTML formatting, like a bulleted list).
Any help would be really VERY appreciated!
Thanks
S

If your satisfied with IE5.0 customers you could do all that without php,
use an XSL file. Now if you want PHP to parse the XML file, I can see why,
your going to have to get XML installed. Have you considered other
providors? there are lots. Im one of them. Ive been told there are ways of
adding modules dynamically on runtime
http://php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php
Ive never needed it / used it. sorry :(

I'm trying to get some the example files from Thickbooks to work, although
I've also tried php.net and PHPBuilder with similar results.
I'm dealing with an ISP so I can't view php.ini or change permissions
directly.
Using the most basic elements of the script I get errors immediately after
trying to submit the form which posts the file. The errors vary across
browsers. In IE I get "Attempt to load accessing url
"http://.../do_upload.php" failed." Netscape gives an error something like
"File does not exist."
I've asked the ISP to check the permissions on the PHP temp directory and
assign PHP the permission to write to my final destination directory. Which
they say they have done.
Any ideas where to look next?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi! I was hoping that someone could help me out. I am not positive if I
understand whats going on.. so let me try to explain.
This is a process to modify news articles in a MySQL database.
(From the point after picking the article to modify)
PHP Script #1:
I grab everything from the database and stick it into the HTML form
(textarea, text, etc). I allow the user to modify whatever they want.
PHP Script #2:
This script takes the new information and displays it to the user.. it is
a preview of what it will look like with the changes.
PHP Script #3:
Updates the news article in the database.
Now the problem I am having.. is that the description and content fields
have qoutes in them. For example:
Description: I like to run and walk. I love "smelly cheese."
So.. when it tries to update the database. It will only store this as the
description:
I like to run and walk. I love\\
I know that its because the qoutes are not being escaped correctly.. and
it seems as though it is escaping the escape.
So my question is.. how can I keep my qoutes?
Just FYI.. I am making the user enter in the description and content in
html. So i cant just change the qoutes to HTMLTags because it would change
my <P> and <a href=> etc.
Below is an example of the code (shortened for an example):
PHP Script #1: Editing description
print'
</textarea><br>
Description:<br><textarea name=describe cols=40 rows=10>';
echo $info["description"];
print'
</textarea><br>';
PHP Script #2: (preview changes)
<input type=hidden name=describe value="<?php print $describe?>">
<b>Description:</b><br>
<?php print $describe?> <p>
PHP Script #3: (update database)
$sql = "UPDATE news SET release_date='$date', title='$title',
description='$describe', contact='$contact', content='$test', type='$type'
WHERE news_id=$id";
$result = mysql_query($sql)
Thanks in advance.
-Tanya
My approach towards this problem was to parse the data before inserting
and before displaying.
Before inserting the data entered by user, do something like
str_replace($comments, "'","~") and do the same thing for " do a
different character like | and then insert it into database.
Do the reverse before displaying the data, it should fix your problem..

Let says I strip the slashes.. so it goes back to just normal qoutes.. and
then do the str_replace("\"","|", $describe);
$describe = stripslashes($describe);
str_replace("\"","|",$describe);
It doesnt replace the qoutes..

(1) Be sure to run the data through htmlentities() before inserting it
into the textarea. Otherwise stuff like "<" signs, ampersands ("&") etc
will get munched.

Do a
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$TextFromForm = stripslashes ($TextFromForm);
}
That will un-escape the quotes ('some \"text\"' -> 'some "text"'), i.e.
give you the text as it should be.

$Query = "UPDATE foo SET field1 = '" . addslashes ($TextFromForm) . "'
WHERE ...";
The addslashes () here properly escapes the quotes in your string, so
that the SQL parser can interpret it correctly.

Even idiots can handle computers, and many do.
Can anyone here decipher for me some of the undocumented Socket functions
in PHP4?
For instance, how do I use select() to multiplex multiple connections?
With the functions that are documented, there is a nice example of a simple
echoing TCP server, but it only accepts a single connection which has
limited usage. Can anyone come up with an example to expand that to
multiple connections.
The suggestions in the manual to read man pages & C tutorials has helped me
wrap my head around the multiplexing loop concept, but I still can't
decipher how to actually create this using the functions available (mostly
because I don't program in C).

I'm a little unsure of how variables are cast around in PHP, since it seems
like VisualBasic where I don't declare any types, the compiler just figures
it out.
Would something like this be safe?....
$info = fread($file, filesize("blah");
$info = explode("\n", $info);
echo $info[0];
....

Stop trying! Any browser that would let you do this is opening up a fair old
potential security hole. I'm pretty sure it can't be done.

It may be that the \t in your string is being interpreted as a tab.
Try using /, or escaping your \.

Let me guess - You're printing this in some string enclosed with double
quotes (print ("Value=\"C:\test.gif\"");) ?
Then you need to escape the "\" before the "t" - "\t" is a TAB character,
and chances are good that the browser won't like that in a filename.

Does mySQL have an equivalent to PHPs intval() function?
I have fields whose contents are "Less than 100", "Less than 200", "Less

anyone point me in the direction of a good currency converter class written

a euro converter will do!
thanx.
So I want to bind multiple values that are in an associative array
I have this code
foreach ($binds as $key=>$value)
{
OCIBindByName($this->m_cursor,":$key",$value,-1);
}
but it only seems to work for one value in the array, the array conetents
would be something like
$binds["id"] = 54;
$binds["name"] = Dick;
anyone get this to work or have any idea why it works when the array only has
one thing in it? Thanks in advance

the values bound by ocibindbyname are "taken" from
script-space when you call ociexecute() and then $value will
have only one value.

in case anyone needs this I fixed it by doing this
foreach ($binds as $key=>$value)
{
$$key = $value;
OCIBindByName($this->m_cursor,":$key",$$key,-1);
}

Ok here is the deal.
I have a Linux server running PHP4 and MySQL and a directory full of images.
The images that are currently being used should be listed in a table (members) in a
column titled "pic1". What is the best way to pull the file names of the files and
check them against the files in the table? I want all files that are not listed in
the table to be deleted.
Also, is there a way to limit file size? I don't want new images to be accepted if
they exceed 250k. It takes too long for images to display if they are larger then
that.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I finally got everything to install on RedHat 7, but I can't do anything
with pdflib like I had expected.
I get back Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pdf_new() in
/var/www/html/pdfclock.php on line 7. Line 7 is $pdf = PDF_new();
This is rather frustrating that every time I try to install PHP on a machine
it takes me a week to get it going.
Here is what I have for the config from the srpm after modification as
instructed earlier.
./configure \
--prefix=%{_prefix} \
--with-config-file-path=%{_sysconfdir} \
--disable-debug \
--enable-pic \
--enable-shared \
--enable-inline-optimization \
$* \
--with-exec-dir=%{_bindir} \

--with-tiff
Can someone look at this and tell me what else I need to put in to get this
to work?
Mike
Ive never quite seen a config like that, everybody does things differently.
check your configure's output to make sure that it sais
checking whether to include Pdflib 3.x support... yes
checking for PDF_show_boxed in -lpdf... yes
my config script looks like this...
configure \
--disable-debug \
--enable-inline-optimization \
--enable-versioning \
--enable-trans-sid \
--enable-sockets \
--enable-xml \
--with-sablot \
--with-mhash \
--with-mcrypt \
--with-pgsql \
--with-mysql \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local \
--with-bz2 \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local \
--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 \
--with-png \
--with-tiff \
--with-ttf \
--with-t1lib \
--with-gd \
--with-pdflib \
if your configure isnt finding pdflib it wont fail, it just wont include pdf
support

How about in /etc/ld.so.conf you make sure /usr/lib is in there.
Then run /sbin/ldconfig.
Also, why bother with the source RPM? I would rather just get the
source tarball direct from PHP.net and run with it.

Quick question..
If I have like 6 variables to pass to another PHP script... and some of
the vars are actually multiple lines of text (lets say over 30 lines).
What is the best way of doing this?
I would like to avoid doing something like test.php?cheese=(30 lines of
stuff)
Thanks in advance!

I am using the following statement to check phone numbers.
if (!ereg("^[0-9\-\+\.\ \)\(]{10,}$",$value)) {
Can anyone tell me why this works for every character except the -. It
doesn't see the hyphen as a valid part of the phone number, even though it
recognizes the other characters, e.g. + or .

the - needs to be immediately after the [ to include that character.
Otherwise it is a range indicator.

Not quite. The ereg_* functions are based on POSIX 1003.2, which states:
"A bracket expression is a list of characters enclosed in `[]'.
<snip> If two characters in the list are separated by ` -', this is
shorthand for the full range of characters between those two (inclusive) in
the collating sequence... <snip> To include a literal `-', make it the
first __or last character__, _or the second end-point of a range_. <snip>"

Does anyone know the difference between file upload
handling in PHP and with Java/JSP? An example of the
Java equiv. would be most appreciated. I already know
how to do it with PHP and am trying to do a bit of
conversion. I'm interested more in the backend
processing.
thx,
jason

I'm not sure but I think that may be something still missing from JSP. I
am not sure and believe I read about a class or something that handles it.
Looking at java.sun.com would probably be your best bet.

Hi!
I have finally learned to upload file using php.
But the problem is that When I upload a file, it
disappears from it's place and moves to the location I
have told it to go to. It's more like a cut & paste
rather then copy and paste...
My code is as follows:
Index.html:
******************************************************
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<form method="post" action="upload.php">
<p>
<input type="file" name="userfile">
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload">
</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
*******************************************************
Below is upload.php:
*******************************************************
<?php
if (copy($userfile, "c:\\upload.txt"))
{
echo "Succesful";
}
else
{
echo "failure";
}
unlink($userfile);
?>
******************************************************
Thank You!

This is copying the file.

This is deleting the file, making it *seem* as if the file
was moved.

Greetings,
I was trying to build up a multi-line body to use with the mail
command, using code similar to:
$mailbody = $mailbody . '\n' . $HTTP_POST_VARS["somefield"];
when I sent the mail, the \n showed up, not as a new line, but a
literal \n. How do I fix this?
This is with 4.0.4pl1.

You need to use "\n" for interpolation.

Wouldn't the PHP cache/optimizing add-ons make it so it doesn't matter
after the first time you run the script anyway? So even if the first
pass was a few milliseconds slower it wouldn't be on future executions?

What is the best practice for structuring a PHP program which is
becoming too large to manage as a single file? Should it be broken into
a number of includes, e.g.:
switch ($whatever) {
case 0:
include('case0.php');
break;
case 1:
include('case1.php');
break;
case 2:
include('case2.php');
break;
}
or a number of functions:
require('mylib');
switch ($whatever) {
case 0:
case0();
break;
case 1:
case1();
break;
case 2:
case3();
break;
}
Any thoughts, references to articles (couldn't find anything in
PHPBuilder), etc gratefully received...
Thanks - John
Hello,
I need to be able to create files with unique names. One thought I had was
to use the date functions. In windows API you can call a function that
returns the number of milliseconds since, I think its January 1, 1970. That
number would pretty much be garunteed to be unuquie (although it could be
long, noone has to read these names).
if I use the PHP gettimeofday() function and get the "usec" value, would
this be the same thing? The manual is unclear about what the usecs is in
reference to.

Can somebody give me a url of an example or an example of how to page
results so they can be view by clicking page 1 page 2 or back and next?
results obtained from mysql database.
Thanks
Randy
I've written a little program to carry out a process similar to
that of the dialectizer at http://rinkworks.com/dialect/ it loads
a web page and then runs through the page translating certain
words and phrases I would appreciate any comments or advice on the
the process I've used and whether anyone can think of improvements in
speed and efficiency that I might implement.
The conversion dictionary is stored in a mysql database in two columns
preconv and postconv I load this into a array and then iterate through
the array using the following
while ($row= mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)){
$page = eregi_replace("$row[0]","<b><font
color='#FF0000'>".$row[1]."</b></font>",$page);
}
I've chosen eregi because the case insensivity is important.
Any thoughts or comments?

Why do the Environment Variables
REMOTE_IDENT
REMOTE_USER
HTTP_FROM
HTTP_IDENT
and others exists IF they don't return any information ???
Is there anyway to find out Who visit's your site.
(1) I'm trying to determine between Search Engines and actual Visitors
(2) I'm trying to see who is interested in what I have. I have mailing list
and guestbook, yet no-one clicks these
Are there any "tricks" I can use to see who these people are ??
This is for a Christian Ministry site, if this is a factor
Thanks Barry
I may be totally wrong or missing something, (if so, someone please let
me know) but ...
1. One way would be to use the variables and urlencode them before
passing them.
$var1=urlencode($var1)
then you have test.php?cheese="<?echo $var1?>"
OR
2. Another way would be to use a form:
<form method=post action="test.php">
and then add the 6 variables as
<input type=hidden name="var1" value="<?echo $var1?>">
<input type=hidden name="var2" value="<?echo $var2?>">
<input type=hidden name="var3" value="<?echo $var3?>">
<input type=hidden name="var4" value="<?echo $var4?>">
<input type=hidden name="var5" value="<?echo $var5?>">
<input type=hidden name="var6" value="<?echo $var6?>">
and then have a submit button to take you to the next page.
