you can then do this:
INSERT INTO table SELECT date+INTERVAL 10 DAYS AS date FROM table WHERE
bla=bla;
it is just a way to do it. you will definitely have to play with it.
However you can easily make two queries to read the previous date combining
it with INTERVAL and then do an insert.

Sounds even easier. But what if I'm not doing an UPDATE but an INSERT? Can
it read the previous date? I am inserting a batch of bookings at one time.

I've looked at INTERVAL but it seems it only deals with one specific date
at a time?
date=10 : SELECT date+INTERVAL 10
would then mean date=20
Or have I got everything wrong?
What I looking at
from the value of date=10 ADD other dates for X days on, like this
(in a table, each record (row) has more data than the one given)
date=2001-04-10
date=2001-04-11
date=2001-04-12
This, if I'm mistaken can't be done with interval, at least not without
looping in PHP? And using two queries would not perhaps save as much code
as the way I solved it? Could be mistaken of course.
Martin S.
well, then you have to do it with PHP, as I said - if possible, then mySQL
does it better.
Try converting each date into UNIX timestamp adding to it 60*60*24*10 . It
will create you a set of dates incremented by 10 days.
What I previously meant was :
say you design a poll, you have a table called logs.
you want to see if the specific user have already voted within the last 10
days.
SELECT date FROM logs WHERE user='$user' AND date>=(NOW() - INTERVAL 10
DAY));
this will return you at least one row (hopefully one only) if there's such a
user voted less then 10 days ago, and will return you an empty set if
there's none.
Many use PHP to do that kind of checks while mySQL has it built in.
Since I am not sure I understood your situation right, I think you should
consider some mySQL (or any other DB) date functions. They often save you a
lot of code. Otherwise try to do it with PHP as you have already resolved
it.

If you are looking for a PHP only solution you might try hand calculating
the amount of time you want to adjust in seconds (i.e. 60 seconds x 60
minutes x 24 hours x 10 days = 864000)
$newdatetime = (strtotime($otherdatetime) + 864000;
I often use something similar to adjust for timezone differences.
There are lots of other datetime functions in the manual ;)

how could i pass a variable between pages without them seeing the variable
stated in the URL?
using POST, Cookies or sessions.
session is the most appropriate way to do that.

Greetings.
I have this link file which has been active for quite a while, but the
problem is that when I used a "admin" program to manage the links
(admin.php) it kinda wrote the file multiple times, which means that it has
sorted the file and added multiple instances of the lines.
How I managed to create it? Well, by using the free linkadd/linkmanager
PHP script. Anyhow, what I need is how can I remove duplicates that are
sorted in arrays? Or does anyone of you has such a script or C++ program, so
you could sort the file for me or something?
Thanks

Have you tried the array_unique function

if the lines are exact duplicates, then you could open the file with PHP or
Perl, then scan through it, line by line, each time throwing the line in the
next cell of an array....then you should be able to sort by the values in
those cells, and after you have that, deleting duplicates would be
simple.....

Hi,
I've just started working with PHP. I've made a guest book using PHP
(nothing spectacular) that worked just fine when I tested it op my pc, but
when I uploaded it, it stopped working.
My specific problem is that I cannot write to a file that already exists and
contains data. When I try to I get these warnings:
Warning: File already exists
Warning: fopen("ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/guestbook.txt","a") - File
exists
Is this problem related to the FTP fopen? And is there a way to correct this
problem?
Tnx!
Joeri Vankelst
unless that file you're writing to is on a different server, just put the
relative location to the file. ie: ./guestbook.txt
if this doesn't work I have nothing to offer you. :-\

When you are using that on your site, what basically happens is that you are
trying to open an FTP session with yourself. Not too efficient.
So just kill off the url and use the path to your file.

But when I try using the path to the file I get denied permission ...
How can I use my password then? Or can I bypass that in some way?

Your question is a bit too short to be answered. Explain why and we will try
to explain how. The other poster is wrong however, u can use ADO and use the
Jet OLEDB provider to connect to Microsoft Access.

Another way of getting buttons without actually "hiring" someone is to kind
of trade them work. Works especially well with people you already know, or
people your friends know.
You'll do a little website programming for them (like a custom form-to-email
or user login system) and they'll make some graphics for you.
Also check out a program called IconToy, which rips out graphics from
windows programs.

Hi, I'm trying to get a binary file from an URL and then save it to a local
disk.
I'm trying this:
$fd = fopen ($filename, "rb");
$contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);
$fp = fopen ($tempfile, "wb");
fwrite ($fp,$contents);
fclose ($fp);
If I use $filename="local_file" the script works great, but if I use
$filename="http://myserver.com/remote_file" the resultant local file is
empty.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Jaime
Well, it use to happen...
[from function.filesize.html]
int filesize (string filename)
This function will not work on remote files; the file to be examined must be
accessible via the server's filesystem.
Ok, I screwed up. But now that I know what went wrong, how can I override
this? The docs said: "Fread() reads up to length bytes from the file pointer
referenced by fp. Reading stops when length bytes have been read or EOF is
reached, whichever comes first."
How do I use fread to read until EOF? Note: I don't know the file size, it
could be from 1 byte to xxx Mb.
Thanks,
Jaime

$filename="http://myserver.com/remote_file" the resultant local file is
empty.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Jaime

Solution #1
$contents = fread ($pointer, 1000000000000);
Solution #2
$contents="";
while ($partial = fread ($pointer, 8192)) {
$contents.=$partial;
};
I have a formmail script that works both under Win32 as in Linux.
It has a function email() that calls either mail() if in Win32 or
sendmail() if in Linux... in Linux this sendmail() function works exactly
as mail() but calling a popen() to sendmail... and it works fine..
but sometimes in Win mail() simply terminates the script and the email
isn't sent.
It's weird, it's like mail() had some internall error and had to quit the
entire script execution, cuz nothing after the mail() funcion is called
happens, and it does not give me any error message either...

I have a chunk of text like this:
$string="bla bla bla (12837) ble blo bli sjhs9 39udjkd";
I only want "bla bla bla" out of it...
what is wrong with:
$newString = strtok ($string,"(128");
altough this seems to work:
$newStrArray = explode("(128",$string);
so $newStrArray[0] would have exactly what I want... why doesn't strtok()
works here?

Hey, I'm new to the list, and this issue may have already been addressed...
It seems that with Apache and PHP (running in Windows XP Beta 2, which identifies to
Apache as an NT system) as the server and being accessed by MSIE 6.0b or MSIE 5.5 that
cheese doesn't taste right.
No, wait, that's not the issue. The issue is that unless the page is what the browser
opens with (ex: desktop shortcut, address bar request, being set as the browser's
"home" -- anything where no page, not even the "Action cancelled." page, is opened)
the cookies I setcookie() are saved as session cookies (yo know, not saved in a file),
whereas if it's the first page the browser opens, they're saved in the Cookies folder
where they're supposed to go, as a bona fide file.
Is there a solution to this issue yet? Has anyone else noticed it? :)
Yea, I got a solution.
Choose a flavor of linux, format your HD, install, and run the that server
like it was meant to run.
Apache is not even 100% on NT much less the XP beta, it's like your running
a beta on a beta...That's why it's not working.
Here is a good quote from apache.org: "Please note that at this time,
Windows support is entirely experimental, and is recommended only for
experienced users."
:)
I'm not trying to be a linux zealot, but you will encounter more strange
problems like this on windows...

You need to use style sheets:

Welcome to horse racing v.1. This is a simple PHP game where you can
train, race and win money for your animals. Eventually I'll make it a
whole barn with feeding and horses, and costs, age, breeding. So on.
But for now, this is just a simple game.<br><br>
Enter six names of horses.
<FORM ACTION="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" METHOD="post">
<? for ($i=1;$i<=6;$i++) { // I hate to repeat text ;)
echo "Name$i : <INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME=\"name[]\"
size=\"24\"><BR>\n";
?>
<input type="submit" name="submitNms" value="race them!">
</FORM>
<CENTER>Good luck!</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>
<?
} else {
srand((double)microtime()*1000000); // prepare the random sequence.
$randomHorse = round(rand(1,6)); // makes a random horse
$randomStrides = rand(1, 10); // whatever strides are
echo $name[$randomHorse] ." won the race by $randomStrides !
Congratulations."; // the var name is the array from the form..
}
?>

Can anyone tell me the correct syntax for connecting to an imap server using
imap_open and an ssl connection.
normally ----> $link = imap_open ("{mail.whatever.com:143}",
"username", "password");
Is this the correct way to do it for ssl? ... because it is not working for
me.
ssl ----> $link = imap_open ("{mail.whatever.com:993}", "username",
"password");
Drew
As I've seen and tested, Apache running in Win2k won't do output buffering
running PHP as CGI.
But will perfectly running PHP as DSO.
Any explanations?

Why not just store the filename?

You know, that's a tad rude, just suggestion an OS switch like that. :þ
I mean, my http server isn't the only thing I run -- this is my personal use
computer. Windows XP Beta contains the sum total of what Windows has been up
to now, so I don't think the OS has very much to do with it.
I just wanted to know of this was an actual documented problem and if there
was a fix for it, or if I was the first person to experience it.
Not to mention, even though Apache.org says that Windows support is entirely
experimental and recommended only for experienced users, Linux itself (every
flavor) is still experimental, and you have to know beyond a shadow of a
doubt what you're doing to use it. Not to mention, every time I've tried to
set it up (RH6, Mandrake 7.1), nearly immediately following the
installation, it's messed up, without my editing any part of it.
