You have probably had this question a few times, but can anyone tell me how
to detect "new line's" or breaks in form fealds from both PC and Mac. And
then replacing the "new line" with a <br> so that I can use it for the web?
Thanks in advance

nl2br() don't replace the newlines with a <br> they insert a <br> before
the newline,
therefor you need something like:
$string = str_replace("\n", "<br>", $string);

Yeah I saw this in the online manual but is there any other way of
doing this that doesn't require naming the select box in HTML with a
[] at the end? Cause I have another button that calls a JavaScript
to select all the options within CategoryID[] and it doesn't seem to
work cause it's looking for a CategoryID[] array instead of a select
box named CategoryID[].

You solve that one by referencing your selectbox in JavaScript like this:
document.myForm["CategoryID[]"].selectedIndex
instead of
document.myForm.CategoryID.selectedIndex

In .htaccess use SSLRequireSSL for AuthType Config and redirect to https
using ErrorDocument.
Example for www.foo.goo/sec
.htacess
--------
AuthType Config
SSLRequireSSL
ErrorDocument 403 https://www.foo.goo/sec
Options -Indexes

Options directive is not neccessary but I assume that if you want a

Richard -
For me you are pointing out one of the dilemmas I face on a daily basis
that I call the "fin dilemma". I coined this expression from the era
when Detroit put fins on the cars. These did not make the car perfrom
better; they only appealed to need to get a car with fins because the
neighbor had one.
Yet I earn my living by writing software for clients and when I suggest
that they use the KISS principle, they tell me that I am not up with the
times. There is a very interesting book that I came across at a
friend's home addressing effective Web design. Though I cannot remember
the authors name, he has done many of the "big name" magazine covers as
well as some big name Web sites and he believes in simplicity. Quite a
deilemma!!!

I generally agree, but there is...
ONE GOOD USE FOR HTML EMAIL: AOL DUMMIES.
REASON:
When I would send my email list a URL I needed them to go to, I would do it
in plain-text. ("Go to www.something.com and do something.")
And because 90% of the email programs out there automatically make it a
hyperlinked URL, there was no problem - *EXCEPT* the AOL people who would
email back stupid things like, "Sounds interesting! What's the web address?"
SOLUTION:
When you're sending email using PHP, try this:
if (strtolower(strstr($email, '@'))=="aol.com")
{
$link1 = '<a href="http://www.something.com/">www.something.com</a>';
$link2 = '<a href="http://www.otherthing.com/">www.otherthing.com</a>';
}
else
{
$link1 = 'www.something.com';
$link2 = 'www.otherthing.com';
}
$message = "Hey $firstname -
Check out this link!
" . $link1 . "
and also this one...
" . $link2 . "
Enoy!";
mail ($email, $subject, $message, $headers);
That way the AOL dummies get their hyperlinked HTML links, and all the cool
people of the world get the regular simple version.
Although I will probably getting tarred and feathered for this,
I send out at least a million (multiple emails for lists around the 200
thousand customer mark) emails a week, mostly html.
When I wrote the software interface (in PHP) to do so, I mentioned to my
bosses that many people would not be able to read these HTML emails (ie.
AOL, Eudora, Lotus 5.0, and my beloved pine). This deterred them naught,
cuz they wanted to send banners in the email. Since email with banners
generated more revenue than without (however little money that may be), I
was overruled.
Hence, I read up on multi-part email. This can be done, and I used Richard
Heyes' html-mime email class to do it. The class was based on the SMTP
class that can be found on Manuel Lemos' PHPClasses site
(http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com), along with the SMTP class.
I now have the ability to send straight HTML, straight TEXT, or combo emails
that are interpreted correctly by all email clients (including AOL clients).
And, since I don't use the mail() function, it typically runs about 150%
faster (mail() puts the messages in the mail queue, but the SMTP class
writes directly to port 25 of the mail server). All this and it runs on a
linux system that grabs the email addresses out of a M$ SQL 7 database. The
database allows the customers the ability to opt-out of certain emails.
So don't refrain from doing it because some people say it shouldn't be done
for one reason or another. Simply fix those reasons so they don't know any
different.

I'll second this - while I personally consider HTML email a waste of time[1], a
lot of people like it and it does open up some nice possibilities. The key is
remembering that if you're going to do it, you need to do it right - sending
the proper multi-part mime headers, providing alternatives for people who can't
use HTML[2] and generally just being polite. When presenting this to managers
and/or clients, point out that this maximizes the number of people who can read
their messages - they should grasp the whole "block potential customers = fewer
sales" concept quickly.
[1] For reasons having more to do with security and the crimes against good
design committed by a few; an email client which gave the user the kind of
control a browser like Opera does would be a lot more tolerable.
[2] It's not those of us using text-based email clients, either. Think of
wireless device users or people working at large corps which installed software
to disable anything remotely dynamic in incoming emails.
My strings are getting cut off when I pass to destination web page
Example:
Assign variable from database
$subcategory = mysql_result($result,$i,"subcategory");
Variable $subcategory is assigned "Graphic Editors" from database
(notice two words)
Next I make a link and pass the variables to new page when person clicks
link
<? echo "<a
href='addupdate.php?category=$category&subcategory=$subcategory
New page appears
The value of $subcategory is: Graphic It cut off everything after
Graphic, How do I fix that?

Yes, because there is a space in the word you want to submit over the URL.
What you would need to do is:
$subcategory = urlencode($subcategory);
<a href='addupdate.php?category=$category&subcategory=$subcategory
By this way the space is converted to the equivalent ascii-char -> %20 and
then it should not get cut of anymore.

One of the rules I live by is never to assume you know all there is to know
about a subject.
You've just opened my eyes a little more with this script. All these years
I've been making recursive db-queries and it can all be done in just one...
Your script _must_ be faster, quite simply due to the fact that you only
make one query.
Thank you thank you thank you!

I'm trying to update an existing record based on a link that represents
the record to update.
I have a link and I am passing variables that were assigned from a SQL
database to another php form page which will be used to update the
record. I'm passing variable like so:<a
href='addupdate.php?name=$name&category=$category&description=$etc.....
This works fine for variables that contain values of only a few lines
but what about passing a couple paragraphs stored in variable
$description assigned via database value as TEXT.
Would it be better just to pass the database record ID to the
destination page and then query the record in the destination form page
and populate the form with the current values and update the record or
is there another way I don't know about?
Yes it would be a lot better to just passed the id in the url.

Hello all,
Well, I'm having problems again. This time with string replacement. I'd
like people to be able to write notes on one of the site's I'm helping with,
and would like them to be able to use Bold, Italic, Underline and <a href>
tags. I tried using striptags(); but that would strip anything within
double quotes too. So I've gotten around it by converting the message
string to htmlspecialchars and then using ereg_replace around the tags I'd
like to allow, ie:
$message = ereg_replace("<u>","<u>", $message);
Where I'm struggling is with the a href tags, though. I've been using this:
$message = eregi_replace("(<a
href=")(http://[^[:space:]]{1,})(">)(.*)(<\/a>)", "<a
href=\"\\2\" target=\"_blank\">\\4</a>", $message);
which would change a string containing:
<a href="http://www.php.net">PHP!</a>
to:
<a href="http://www.php.net" target="_blank">PHP!</a>
Great. But, there's a problem. If someone uses:
<a href="http://www.php.net" target="_blank">PHP!</a><a
href="http://www.php.net" target="_blank">PHP Again!</a>
it returns:
<a href="http://www.php.net" target="_blank">PHP!/a><a
href="http://www.php.net"PHP AGAIN!</a>
Ouch!
Anyone got any ideas where it's going wrong?
Also, for the html that isn't allowed, it'd be nice to have some sort of
cleanup, so that something like this:
<blah>BLAH</blah>
Would be returned as BLAH. But not essential :)
Thanks in advance,
James.

True, but then it doesn't:
-Open the link in a new window
it does:
-remove all content between "and".
Of course, I could replace quote marks with htmlspecialchars/entities or
using manual string replacement, but then it'd render all tags using quote
marks invalid.
See the problem? ;)

Hi!

Hello,
This works when you have a separator of some sort, a space would work too.
The tricky part is that mktime works with mm dd yy format.
$start = "2001-01-01";
$end = "2001-03-12";
$start = explode( "-", $start );
$start = mktime( 0, 0, 0, $start[1], $start[2], $start[0] );
$end = explode( "-", $end );
$end = mktime( 0, 0, 0, $end[1], $end[2], $end[0] );
$diff = ( $end - $start ) / ( 86400 );
echo $diff;

Use mktime() (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php) on those
strings to convert them into Unix timestamps:
$start_time = mktime(0,0,0,
substr($start, 6, 2),
substr($start, 4, 2),
substr($start, 0, 4)
); // mktime( hour, minute, second, day, month, year)
Since a Unix timestamp is just the number of seconds since a starting point,
you can get the elapsed number of seconds by substraing $start_time from
$stop_time; divide that by 86400 and you'll have the number of days.
You could also use the Calendar extension if you have that installed, since it
allows you to covert from several calendar systems into Julian Day counts,
which could be subtracted similarly. (See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.calendar.php)

Many search engines will NOT spider pages that have "?" or "&" in the URL.
But they WILL spider PHP pages as if they were static content IF you hack
Apache or PHP to let "/" be the variable separator instead of "?"
There are different ways of doing this. Search the PHP list archives or
check out some recent PHP books.
But here's the effect you're shooting for:
INSTEAD OF:
http://www.yoursite.com/showarticle.php?id=3&article=8&language=en
YOU CAN MAKE IT:
http://www.yoursite.com/showarticle/id/3/article/8/language/en
OR EVEN:
http://www.yoursite.com/showarticle/3/8/en
OR:
http://www.yoursite.com/somepage/en/3/8.html
... and just have PHP ignore any ".*" URL extensions before deciding what
to take as the variables in the URL.
I do the last example at this site:
http://www.cdbaby.org/
It's a totally dynamic site that has gotten very well-spidered using these
methods.
THE APACHE HACK:
You can either use "mod_rewrite" or in your Apache "/conf/httpd.conf" file,
set:
DefaultType application/x-httpd-php <--- not sure of exact spelling
So that ALL files with no extension are parsed as PHP files.
Which lets you rename "showarticle.php" to just "showarticle" in the
examples above.
Hope this made sense.
I'd give concrete code examples but I'm offline right now.
hello
if this is really a silly problem dont blame me, i'm a newbie in php (but i'm
experienced in c++ a bit :-)
well, imagine i want to write a content of some text file word by word. example will
be more understandable
than my english:
let file.txt consists:
lenin lives
forever
i want my php script to write to the screen:
lenin
lives
forever
I tried to manage this using fscanf function. i expected it works same as in c, but it
looks it doesnt. consider
the code:
while (fscanf($file,"%s",$buffer)==1)
{
echo $buffer,"<br>";
}
the result:
lenin
forever
just like fscanf moved the file pointer to the next line after reading "lenin". i dont
know whats up... why "lives"
disappeared??? i know i can try using fgets and then split the string, but i want to
know why fscanf doesnt
work... :-)
could anyone explain me this phenomena?
best regards,
jakub zytka

I receive 2 variables, $var and $num
I need to make a variable out of these two like this
$var2 where $num = 2 or
$var3 where $num = 3
How can I do that ?

Hmm. I can put multiple includes directory on my system
(PHP4.0.4pl1/Linux/Apache)
include_path = /home/httpd/include1:/home/httpd/include2
Getting rid of spaces around "=" might help. (It should work with spaces/tab,
though)

I have different approch for 2 reasons
1) Multiple include path may result in unintetional includes of files.
For example, include_for_aap1.inc and include_for_app2.inc may mixed up easily.
2) Multiple include path sacrifices performance. System need to search all
include path for files to be included.
Therefore, I specify only 1 directory for include_path. I have
global.app_name.inc for each apps and defines constant, like
define('INCLUDE_PATH','/home/httpd/include_path_for_app1');
and I write
include_once(INCLUDE_PATH.'file_to_include.inc');
for all other files to be included.
This this method, you still can esiliy change include_path esily and you can
have different include directory for each application AND save COU time to find
files to include.
This is my approch for inlucding files.

If you don't read standard definitions, I recommend to read them.
I`m trying to display the picture from the database, but I can`t get it to
work. That`s just a short version of your script.
I try to display the picture like that:
<img src='showpic.php' width='150' height='80'>
and showpic looks like this:
<?php
$query = "select file_data,file_type, from pildid where id=1";
$result = @MYSQL_QUERY($query);
$data = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0, "file_data");
$type = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0, "file_type");
Header( "Content-type: $type");
$picture = $data;
print $picture;
?>
Any ideas why it might not work as expected? I have written picture to the
db, but ...? I write them like:
$main = addslashes(fread(fopen($main_pic, "r"),
filesize($main_pic)));
$sql ->
insert("pildid","section,productid,picnr,file_name,file_type,file_data","'$section','$productid',0,'$main_pic_name','$main_pic_type','$main'");
Thanks in advance;

Hello php people,
I have a page with 3 frames, each one start the php4 session handler.
When all page are loaded, all session variables are valid.
After I receive request from a flash movie that will update one of the frame, my
session does not exist anymore, all variables are empty.
Any idea ?

Question:
Can you by any other means except the IMAP functions get the mails from an mailbox?
Appreciate an answer.
Yes - see the network functions in the Php manual.
If you don't already know the protocol commands for the mail retrieval
protocol you want to use, see the relevant rfc.
