One of the coolest things I have seen online, and some of you may not even
know this works, but if you type in the url: "http://www.php.net/foo";
you'll be taken straight to the foo page of the php manual, if one exists.
If "foo" doesn't exist, you pull up a Google search-within-the-site page.
I haven't been messing with php for very long, but I haven't been able to
put together all of the pieces for something like this. Is it hugely
complicated? There's definitely a lot more here than a simple .htaccess
rewrite. Has anyone thought of any other uses this kind of thing could be
put to?

It's a custom 404 page, IIRC. Your 404 page simply looks at the URL, grabs
the last part and forwards (using header(), I imagine) to the appropriate
page.
Many other uses for it, too. One that's written about on PHP.net is using
this to make static HTML pages. You have a URL such as domain.com/1234.html,
where that page doesn't exist. Your 404 page looks up product 1234 from the
database, writes an HTML page to disk called 1234.html, then redirects back
to the page. Now subsequent requests for 1234.html pull up the page just
created and do not hit the database at all. To "clear" everything, simply
delete all of the .html files and they'll be regenerated as they're needed.
I'm sure there are other uses...

Exactly, thanks. Have you guys tried those on-line translators like
Google's? Another big problem is conjugated verbs in Spanish. They remind
me of those wacky mad-libs books in elementary school... :-)

Here's a little function that could help you...
It uses the ASCII table to generate the characters and it still needs to be
customized for any length
and to deny the use of the special characters...
Don't forget to set the mt seed!
function generatePassword() {
$passwd = "";
while(strlen($passwd)<10) {
switch(mt_rand(1,4)) {
case 1:
$tmp = chr(mt_rand(33,46));
if ($tmp!="'" && $tmp!="\"") {
$passwd .= $tmp;
}
break;
case 2:
$passwd .= chr(mt_rand(48,57));
break;
case 3:
$passwd .= chr(mt_rand(65,90));
break;
case 4:
$passwd .= chr(mt_rand(97,122));
break;
}
}
return $passwd;
}

Subject: [PHP] Redirecting to index.php from index.html
I'm a relative newbie to PHP coming from the Zope/Python/DTML world.
Does
anyone know of a good way, short of a javascript, to redirect from
index.html
to index.php. Also, can I use PHP to test for browsers, then redirect
them
to the appropriate page. In DTML/Python it would be :
<dtml-if "_.string.find(HTTP_USER_AGENT, 'Mozilla/4') >= 0>
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('moz4_page.php')">
</dtml-if>
This can be called from anywhere in the page. I know that PHP does not
work
this way and that this would need to be done before <html>, but I'm even
having problems with that. I guess I'm just having a hard time THINKING
like
php.

Hello,
This is a reply to an e-mail that you wrote on Tue, 17 Jun 2003 at 22:27,

This doesn't really matter as in this case the performance difference
wouldn't be noticable but I thought I would point out anyway...
On the strstr manual page it states:
"Note: If you only want to determine if a particular needle occurs
within haystack, use the faster and less memory intensive function
strpos() instead."
All the best,
David

Here is my actual code so you can look at it and see what I am doing
something wrong. I know I must be, since I don't see how php could become so
popular for site development when it appears to be so difficult to do a
simple test and redirect.
It works fine in forms such as:
<input type="text" name="phrase" size="
<?php
if (strstr(getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"), "MSIE")) {
echo "50";
} else {
echo "35";
}
?>
" maxlength="50">
But I have yet to be able to do a redirect after a test.
index.html is a dhtml splash screen to allow time for image preloading. It
does not work on Opera or Konqueror.
<?
if(strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT, "Opera")){
header("Location: http://www.servantsmc.com/main.php";);

Well it does appear to be working because according to this error, the
problem is with main.php on line 4.

I can understand that, I kick and scream when forced to think in DTML ('-'
in variable names? Turning the stack inside out? Blah).
Anyway... I suspect, as you're going from index.html -> index.php, you
actually want to add index.php as a Directory Index. Try adding this to your
httpd.conf file:
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
and now, /my/path/index.php will be called when you run
http://myhost.com/my/path/
(If I answered the wrong question, I apologise; forcing a redirect from a
pure HTML page will probably need Javascript or meta refresh.)
As to your other question.... yes, it's possible to use PHP to test for
incoming browsers, but it's not exactly good practice. Check
$HTTP_USER_AGENT.

Hello,
I'm wondering what the best way to go about this would be. I will be
opening a URL that outputs a csv. This csv will change every few minutes,
and I would like it to be refreshed on my page. I know I can use a meta
refresh, but the time will vary from 1-5 minutes, so a meta refresh will
have a gap where it won't be update.
Is there someway to hold it open, and when it changes refresh itself? This
is all on a LAN, so the traffic isn't that big of a deal.
Thanks,
Bryan

PHP is server-side language, so this would be possible. Would go for meta tag
or a javascript.

I know, but I thought I saw somewhere there was a way to do this using
flush() and something else, maybe for use with a progress bar type thing?
I know http is not an always open type protocol, but I still thought there
was a way. Meta refresh just won't work correctly..

I think you're talking about server push. In general you can only use
this with Netscape and Mozilla, but the page I link to below intimates
that you might be able to tie in with some Java or somesuch to make IE
do it too. Myself, I've never tried it, so YMMV. Anyway, do some
googling on 'server push' and check this out for a ready-made script:

Good luck,

Go back and count the quotes again. The original post is correct as far
as
quotes go. Yours is not, though, since you have three single quotes in a
row
and have thrown in a double quote by itself.
Without color coding, this is all very hard to tell. That's why I prefer
to
do it such as:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM db WHERE apple = '{$_POST['foo']}' ";
or, like someone else said, the following is perfectly valid:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM db WHERE apple = '$_POST[foo]' ";
There are way to many methods to do this, though, so just use the one
that
makes the most sense to you. I've changed my mind about this a few times
in
the past. :)

What you are seeing is the correct behaviour: since the variable has
not been initialized, attempting to access it without checking it is
not good. Usually it's not much of an issue in PHP, though.
Anyway, one of the better ways to deal with it is to loop over your
input arrays and checking the values, something like this:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);
$_acceptable_input = array('username', 'password', 'action');
$CHECKED_INPUT = array();
foreach ($_acceptable_input as $input_name) {
// Use isset() instead of empty() so you get the blank inputs too.
// Also, this would be an excellent place to do any input validation
// as a first line of defence against poisoning attacks.
if (isset($_GET[$input_name])) {
$CHECKED_INPUT[$input_name] = $_GET[$input_name];
} else {
$CHECKED_INPUT[$input_name] = false;
}
}
// Now you can use the expected ones without any errors since you know
// it's been tested for:
switch ($CHECKED_INPUT['action']) {
case 'Log in':
echo "Logging in with
{$CHECKED_INPUT['username']}/{$CHECKED_INPUT['password']}.\n";
break;
default:
echo "Unknown action.\n";
break;
}
?>
You could also just turn down error_reporting to skip the NOTICE-level
errors, but that's only really recommendable on a production box (where
you should probably have display_errors off too)...but on a development
server, hiding the problem is not likely to help in the long run. :)
Hope this helps,
Torben

Unless you're using arbitrary-precision math, the overhead of using
bcmod() is probably not worth it. In general you would just use
the modulus operator '%':
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php
bcmod(a, b) is the arbitrary-precision version of a % b;
At any rate, what is the code doing that you're not expecting?

They're escaped with backslashes. Weird thing is, I did make a Javascript
functions that converts every character to Unicode hex values preceded by %,
but for some magical reason, when I use rawurldecode on the string, the
apostrophes are still escaped! At the moment, this is beyond my grasp, but
I'll have to look over my code tomorrow and see how that can be...

We are developing a site with the binarycloud platform,
which is completely object oriented with (sometimes)
large (deep) trees of objects.
Sometimes in the place where we need it, deep down, we
try to use print_r on the object tree, or subtree, and
the machine load average goes to the moon, and before
Apache can kill the child, everything locks, and a hard
reset is necessary.
Has anybody on this list ever tried to impliment a print_r
with an argument that specifies maximum depth of array
recursion? This would be very useful in normal debugging
in any case, as most data structures don't go as deep
as ones we are using.
Anybody interested in this besides me?

Separate multiple directories with a semi-colon?

Separate the paths with semicolons or colons depending on your OS. You
can also check existing values using ini_get() and modify based on
that. I like to use something like the following:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);
function add_to_include_path($path) {
$path = (string) $path;
$existing_path = ini_get('include_path');
if (false !== strpos($existing_path, $path)) {
// Already in the path; exit.
return true;
}
ini_set('include_path', $existing_path . ':' . $path);
return true;
}
echo ini_get('include_path') . "\n";
add_to_include_path('/home/torben/bin');
echo ini_get('include_path') . "\n";
?>
Hope this helps,
Torben

"functional programming" is based around the idea
that subroutines should have no side effects - all
the information a subroutine needs should be passed
as parameters, and its results should be returned.
Further, a function called with the same set of parameters
should always return the same result.
The original basis for this was that it made
program analysis much simpler; however, it
was found to be useful in practice as well for
a number of reasons:
- it was a means of enforcing variable scope
(essentially, all variables are local),
- it promotes much simpler functions and
more reuse.
- it can allow much more extreme compiler
optimizations
While the functional programming philosophy
can be applied in most programming languages,
some of the languages I mentioned do a better
job of making its usefulness obvious.
For more info, see some of the links at

Check the MySQL documentation. You also might want to ask on the MySQL
mailing list.
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Default_privileges.html
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Access_denied.html
It appears, however, that mysqld is not recognizing the authority of
whoever you're connected as to modify the grant tables. Try connecting
as the admin user.
Good luck,

You've read the MySQL documentation, right? If not, do so. Trust me.
You'll need it. Right now it looks like you need this section:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/General_security.html
Also, I was serious when I suggested asking on the MySQL mailing list.
This list is for PHP.
Finally, when you do ask, be sure to provide some more information. You
need to tell them what you've done so far, where on the network the
database server is, and your username when logged in.
Good luck,
Torben

I used order by rand() with MySQL quite often and do not notice any load issues
with it. What's your whole query look like?

If it's the username that is to be random, I'd grab it first then go get all
the other data with a second query. If that is undesirable for whatever reason
then I'd use left joins so as to select much less data.
As an aside, limit 0,1 is the same as limit 1.

Hi,
I'm newbie in PHP and tried to install webmail appliction on PHP engine.
That webmail require a module IMAP,but my engine haven't have it yet. I
tried to put a "extenstion = imap.so" in php.ini. But, the application still
can't detect this module. Can I add php module without recompile PHP source.
Thanks in advance,
Skon L.

Hi,
I installed v-webmail on the PHP engine to enable web mail client access.
Every installation step was going well. But, I found a problem when the
application was using for awhile. My webmail can display the login page, but
when I entered login/password and press submit. I got an error display that
'can't find server' and there was no PHP error displaying. But, there was a
'Exit segmentation fault (11)" error in httpd log file, everytime I press
submit button in login page. I tried to put a debug line to determine the
statement that cause the error, but very difficult to do.
Does PHP has any directive or command to debug a code or print all
success/unsuccess line execution. I can't modify php.ini or httpd.conf,
because that server is not mine (I use a hosting service from ISP).
Thanks in advance,
Skon L.

I have been very happy with Zentrifugal. com. They let you host multiple
domains for $99 per year. You can have up to 10 sub-domains, 10 parked
domains and 10 add-on domains. All these additional domains share the same
account resources. My problem with other hosting companies has always been
the very limited number of MySQL databases. With Zentrifugal, I get 20
databases - which is plenty for "play" and "real" sites. Support has been
pretty good too. I had problems with the webmail configuration, but they
were answered pretty quickly.

Create a string which is six char long,
(for instance shop the head and tail
of the first string if you are not able
to generate a six char string)
If you chop an 8 char string and MUST have
the special chars in the string then check
that the chopped char's is not a memember of
the special char's- If they are, regenerate a
new string an loop until they are not
Finally randomize the head and the tail with
you "custom" algorithm. E.g. an algoritm that
does not contain your

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Password generator
Hi people,
I have to make a password generator, but i have a little problem.
- It needs to generate password 8 characters long, and including 1 or 2
special characters(like #$%&*@).
- Those special characters can never appear as the first or last
character in the string... anywhere between is fine.
I have a password generator script now that does the first thing... but
the special character can be in front or back of the string wich it
shouldnt.. i have been looking on the web for this but i havent found
the answer. Below is my scripts so far..
Any help is appreciated, thanks for your time,
Best regards,
Davy Obdam
