Is it possible to define a variable, such as:
$foo = "bar";
and then do as follows to create a totally different variable:
$$foo = "text here";
this seems to mean $bar = "text here";.

No its not a bug
basically what you did was assign a value to a value of a variable
a $$ is how you access the value of a variable as a variable

Actually there is a funtion for that, php>=4.1.0:

I also wanna add that it works for functions as well:
$foo="bar";
$foo();
would call the function bar()... I read this in the manual at some point
like a year ago... This isn't something I would recommend using as you could
in 90% of the cases screw it all badly... Could be useful sometimes though
(I got an example, but I'm a bit lazy...)

There are several reasons why not to turn globals on.

I assume you could use it to only pull in variables from POST or GET, or you
could add some complexity to the loop and verify the variables as they come
in.
(Personally, I agree - just turn the damn switch back on. It's always the
first thing I do to an install.)

And also for class names
$foo = "bar";
$blah = new $foo();
$blah would be a new instance of the class bar
I've actually used the above, but it was a special case.. I wouldn't
normally use it.

The solution to using .shtml files from within
your PHP scripts is as simple as:
include ("somefile.shtml");
Very handy if you have header, sidebar, footer templates
setup using SSI.

Subject: [PHP] including .shtml file within my php script
I have an open source php script to add items to a mysql database.
I want to wrap the page using a .shtml file
Currently, the .shtml file is:
http://bursar.indiana.edu/gotcha/index.shtml
The php script is:
http://bursar.indiana.edu/gotcha/g_add_gotcha.php
I believe that I should be able to use one of the commands:
Include, require or virtual in order to have the .shtml file
called from php. I'm having trouble with the syntax.
Has anybody successfully done something like this?
I tried:
<?php
require("_header.shtml");
?>

My PHP script for updating some static HTML pages no longer works on a
commercial host that changed their setup so PHP can't write files to the
public_html directory. The host's tech support says that a PHP script
executed as a CGI can still write to public_html.
The site has PHP 4.3.2 on Apache 1.3.28, with passthru, shell_exec, and
system disabled. I'm not sure how to approach converting my script to work
as a CGI -- if I need to execute the update from a content management system
link, do I use exec()? Does exec() take a Unix command? If so, would that
command just reference my PHP script headed with "#!/usr/bin/php -q"? And
how do I return something to tell me if execution was successful?
I'm searching through the manual, but links to good examples (or outright
explanations) would be greatly appreciated.

I've developed a system that uses fdf for a client just recently.
Some of the fdf is a little overkill, but there are cases when the
pdf forms are a scannable document that uses special fonts for a
scanner to read. (much like the little box's you have to fill out
for those silly sat tests.)
To properly have the document print, they voted to use fdf/pdf's
forms to have the user print their data out so it can be scanned.

You don't reall need to compile --with-fdftk, to generate fdf
files.
If you're not doing really fancy stuff (just filling out a form)
then, be sure to take a look at the notes on this page. There are
some examples of how to easisly generate fdf files from an array of
data (say from a db_fetch_assoc() call).

PDF forms offer a lot more formatting capabilities than HTML forms. This
is sometimes needed to exactly reproduce forms for you business
(especially with goverment/army forms).
You can also email the forms around easier than an HTML form and the
user can't modify it at all.
Finally, you can have the actual form submitted along with the user data
(will be present in RAW_POST_DATA, IIRC), so you can save the form along
with the data in the database and then present it back to the user
whenever you want.

John, that is EXACTLY what i want, now the question is...have you seen this
implemented somewhere? so php would pass the data to a database and when a
user/client wants to see that data again, php would "re-generate" the form
with the data that is being requested right? and that is what FDF can
do...correct?
but help me out here and tell me where i can see some sort of
implementation
and how hard would something like this be

Take a look at php.net/fdf for input to database (easy part). As for
automatically filling out the PDF, you can actually embed javascript in a
PDF, although I'm not exactly sure how to do it. PlanetPDF.com will have the
info, though. Also, there is an excellent PDF forum over at planetpdf.com
which has been very helpful in the past for me. If that fails, you could try
comp.text.pdf but IIRC the forums work better.

I would also add some structure to avoid all the different
variables and makes looping much smoother on the processing script.
<input type=text name="elements[2][name]">
<input type=text name="elements[2][tel]">
<input type=checkbox name="elements[2][checked]" value="1">
Then:
foreach ($_REQUEST['elements'] as $id => $element) {
if ($element['checked']) {
// its checked
} else {
// not checked.. duh..
}
}

I would also add some structure to avoid all the different
variables and makes looping much smoother on the processing script.
<input type=text name="elements[2][name]">
<input type=text name="elements[2][tel]">
<input type=checkbox name="elements[2][checked]" value="1">
Then:
foreach ($_REQUEST['elements'] as $id => $element) {
if ($element['checked']) {
// its checked
} else {
// not checked.. duh..
}
}

Hi.
I don't know why but I've had the darndest time trying to find an easy
equivalent of asp's InStr() function in PHP. I know there is
preg_match(), strpos(), and strstr(), but none of them work like I want
them to.
In fact, except for maybe preg_match(), I can't get any of them to work
right.
I want a function that will return true if the string is found, and
false if it is not found.
Like this:*
$needle = "&";
$haystack = "Belle & Sebastian";
if(FoundInString($needle, $haystack))
{
echo "found!";
}
else
{
echo "not found!";
}
Anyone have a function to share?
Thanks,
Chris.

Hmm... Are you sure strpos doesn't work for you? Sure worked for me when I
wanted something like that Otherwise, checkout following:
http://se2.php.net/strings
function instr($needle, $haystack,$case_sensitive=true)
{
return
(($case_sensitive?strpos($needle,$haystack):stripos($needle,$haystack))!==fa
lse);
}
try that, although, that's just from the top of my head, not tested or
anything and it's my pretty bad coding style...
also, take a look at ereg()...

Chris,
Ive modified your sample code to use strstr() and it works fine. maybe you've mixed
the $haystack and $needle around ?
<?
$needle = "&";
$haystack = "Belle & Sebastian";
if(strstr($haystack, $needle))
{
echo "found!";
}
else
{
echo "not found!";
}
?>

Hmm. Would you confirm that this code snippet doesn't work for you?
<?
$needle = "&";
$haystack = "Belle & Sebastian";
if (strstr ($haystack, $needle))
{
echo ("strstr() worked<br>");
}
if (strpos ($haystack, $needle))
{
echo ("strpos() worked<br>");
}
?>
Because if it doesn't, I think there's a problem with your install.
BTW, strstr and strpos don't return TRUE if a string is found. strpos
returns an index into $haystack, strstr returns a substring of $haystack.
Maybe you're doing this?
if (strpos ($haystack, $needle) == TRUE)
which would (I would assume) fail. Though PHP plays fast and loose with
types, so it might work.
--- End Message ---

Hi Chris,
I've always used strstr() for this _exact_ same purpose and it's worked just
fine. I find it much more useful as an InStr()-like function than for
actually doing anything with the string it returns. You'll want to note
that the parameter order is $haystack before $needle. That goes for
strpos() as well. I noticed that in your original post, you're using a
hypothetical function FoundInString($needle,$haystack). If you used the
same order ($needle,$haystack) when you tried strstr() or strpos(), then it
would fail because it's a bit difficult to find a haystack in a needle. =/
I _strongly_ recommend using one of these built-in functions, as they will
run much faster than any programmer-defined function. Below I will explain
how and potential pitfalls.
Only problem I noticed is that you want the function to return an explicit
true if the string is found (and false if it is not). Both functions will
return an explicit false if the needle is not found, but neither return an
explicit true. Don't let that stop you from using them though. If needle
is found, strstr() returns a string and strpos() returns an integer
(possibly 0). An if statement will consider a string (as returned by
strstr()) as logically true, so you can use strstr() by itself inside an if
statement. strpos() however returns the offset from the beginning of
$haystack where it found $needle. This means that if $needle is at the
beginning of $haystack, then it will return an integer 0. This of course is
considered false by an if statement. However, you can use
if(strpos($haystack,$needle)!==false). If you take a look at
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php, you'll see
that PHP's $a===$b and $a!==$b operators result in a true only if $a and $b
are of the same type (bool, int, etc). Since an integer 0 is not the same
as a boolean false, strpos()!==false will not choke when it returns an
integer 0.
If you want the function to return an explicit true because you want to
assign the result to a variable, you can do this:
$foo = (strstr($haystack,$needle)!==false)
or anywhere else you plan to use it for that matter.

unfortantly this is only (PHP 4 >= 4.3.0).
imploading a file all the time from file simply doesn't make sense
to me, i would fread() the file directly into a string instead.

Yep, reading through http is the slowdown.

It seems you need to authenticate with the SMTP server. You can't do
that with the mail() function. Try these classes in conjunction. They
come with a function named smtp_mail() that you can use as replacement
to the mail() function but you can also specify the user and password to
authenticat with the SMTP server:

I can't speak for other software, but you need one of the full versions

I think you mean "forms completely styled with CSS", don't you? The
answer is "yes", but it would depend on your definition of "complex".
Do a google search... there's plenty of reading to do out there :)
http://alistapart.com/stories/practicalcss/ is one place to start.
If the forms are already created in PDF, then who created them? That
person must have access to the higher versions of Acrobat, therefor
must be able to edit the files, specifying a target script on the web
to which they will be to POSTed.

First, the Text Edit application that comes with Mac OS X, coupled with
iDisk, may actually be more than you need. By default, it edits RTF, but
it also edits plain text. iDisk allows you to set up an FTP connection
and edit over the network. It has the OSAX (AppleScript, et. al.)
interface, so there is a way to interface with it programmatically.
BBEdit is supposed to support editing via the web. It's an editor, not a
word processor, but the interface is WYSIWYG, only modal in terms of
switching to raw binary and such. I've used it to good purpose:
http://www.barebones.com
http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit
Mind you, it's a very powerful editor. Includes some neat integration
with perl, and should be easy enough to interface with php. BareBones's
Newer, cheaper TextWrangler is also supposed to support FTP, if that
would be enough. They have a good record about working with their
customers, too.
Hydra is a cute piece, allows people to simultaneous edit the same
text document over the local network. The Coding Monkeys's page seems to
be down right now.
I have only heard mention in passing of Pepper, but it looks like it has
returned to active development:
http://www.digitalwandering.com/ (Mac fork)
http://www.hekkelman.com/pepper.html (cross-platform)
Alpha has been highly praised by some I count as friends. It has been
compared with Emacs, although it is not really an Emacs work-alike. But
I don't find any recent information on it, the links all stall.
Hmm. Plugged "text editor macintosh" in at google.com, and got more
information than I want to wade through. Then I went to apple.com,
clicked on the "Made4Mac" tab, and wandered onto this page:
http://guide.apple.com/uscategories/productivity.lasso
scrolled down, selected text processing and editing utiliities, and got
quite a few hits.

I'd explode() the string into an array, and take the 0th element of the
array.
$s = 'here is a text what i have';
$a = explode (' ', $s);
echo ($a[0]);
If you want to match /whitespace/ (tab, space, etc), replace explode() with
split() using the correct regular expression.
(Note: explode() takes a 3rd optional parameter, limit, if you want a
remainder string, too.)

I'm running PHP 4.3.3 compiled with --with-openssl against Red Hat 8.0's
latest OpenSSL libraries (patched versions of 0.9.6) and am having some
strange issues using fopen(), fread() and friends. Here's my code:
function echo_test() {
$opts = array(
'ssl' => array(
'allow_self_signed' => "TRUE"
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$handle = fopen("https://www.secureurl.org/";, "r", FALSE, $context);
while (TRUE) {
$data = fread($handle, 1024);
if (strlen($data) == 0) {
break;
}
$stuff .= stripslashes($data);
}
fclose($handle);
return $stuff;
}
When I run this code, the content IS returned correctly and in in the
server SSL logs I see that a request was made via SSL. So I'm getting
the results I want... EXCEPT for this:
Warning: fread(): SSL: fatal protocol error in /WWW/inc/ECHO.php on line
23
Any idea what this is? I thought not allowing self signed certs might
be the problem since this server is using a self-signed one... but
adding that to my options (reflected above) didn't help any.
I can very easily force the errors not to show up and mosey on since I
am able to access the data, but I'm curious why this is happening. Any
ideas? There were a few other posts on this topic, but none with any
concrete answers or solutions...
