Well I am working on just such a project now. Mine is a bit more complex
than just the simple page. I am working on actually building a site that
allows you to build a dynamic site. So you will be able to make tables in a
database and use these tables to build query and tables and all sorts of
things that will create the site. The hard part for me right now is adding
all the tags so that they can format the page and insert images and all that
stuff. but it is coming along. I started to build this because I have not
found any tool out there that does that as yet.

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
$string = nl2br($string)
This will change a new line into <br>; but make sure HTMLspecialchars aren't
in the same part.
Hi.
I'm writing a new script, but I need some help.. I won't post here
because it's just too much. I'm looking for someone who is dedicated
and patient in helping a 13 year old with SQL and connecting/recieving,
inserting and updating databases. I have ideas, I have some basic
knowledge of PHP but I need someone who can help answer questions,
patiently.
If you wouldn't mind helping (I realise this may sound stupid) please
message me. 51599351 on ICQ.
Thanks,
Owen
Hi Owen,
newbies are always welcome here (as long as you mention it).
See, we developers, are often too bored answering the complicated questions.
But if you ask something like:
"what is the syntax for update" you'll get dozens of replies.
don't try on mySQL lists, I noticed that they are kind of snobby, simple
questions are not too respected over there.
This is definitely a right place for you.
also try this sites:
PHPBeginner.com (mine BTW)
NewbieNetwork.net
search google,
check list archives ( http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general )
got a question : juts ask,
Sincerely,

Is there any way to include whole directories?
I have my function declarations in many small, easily maintainable
files, but it's a pain to include/require them all individually...I
would like to just split them into directories by common purpose, e.g
functions/auth
functions/content
functions/modules
and then include a directory at once - any ideas?
cheers!
andrew
Sure. Use an array, as suggested in the example on the include manual page,
but put all files in a specific directory in that array. To do that, use
code like the following:
# load files into array
# assign $directory to your variable, or replace $directory in the below
line with the directory you want.
$handle=opendir($directory);
while ($file = readdir($handle)) { # read all files in dir
if ($file != ".." && $file != ".") {
$files_to_include[count($files_to_include)] = $file; # cram them files
into array ;)
};
};
#clean up and sort
closedir($handle);
if (is_array($files_to_include)) {
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($files_to_include)) {
include $files[$i];
};
};
I modified some previous code to work for what you want, so my apologies if
there are missing curly braces or the like.
Hope this helps,
Erica

What configure options did you use for PHP and Apache? Did you install any
other modules for Apache?

Well, for the first edition of this book I found it extremely boring. Don't
know why really. The whole thing felt pretty old - but it isn't. Hopefully
the second ed. is much better. (I know many people like PHP Core).
Anyway, PHP Developers Cookbook (Sterling Hughes) from SAMS is very nice.
Gives lot's of examples of everyday stuff you'd like to do.

Ok, I again stand corrected. The reference in the book contains
additional examples and explanatory texts. Sorry Leon, sorry Egon.
So here's a rephrased version of what I wanted to express with my
original mail:
The book is targeted at people completely new to PHP and relatively new
to programming as such, and thus it is IMO next to useless for someone
with "3 years Perl experience" (which is what this thread originally was
about). Again, I can only speak about the first edition - if you say the
second Ed has changed in this regard that's great.

Well, someone recommended that book, and I tried pointing out that IMO
that book is the wrong choice for that particular person.
I apologize for putting down the book as something generally bad (that
wasn't intended), but I don't apologize for having an opinion and telling
others about it.
This list is a *good* place for book reviews, because (1) reviews help
(future) readers to choose the right book for them and (2) because bad
reviews (such as mine) can be easily corrected (as you did) here.

Very funny, Scotty! Now beam up my clothes...
Of course you can run both win95 and linux in the
same machine!
You can install linux on your F: drive and run a
OS loader such Lilo at startup (lilo is installed
with your linux distribution)!
Go ahead... install Linux!!!
BTW, there is a Apache version for Windows!

I have created a content stripper file that I am releasing to this newsgroup
as freeware.
The file takes a .html file that looks like this:
_________________
HEADER
_________________
CONTENT
_________________
FOOTER
_________________
and strips out the header and footer according to certain delimiters in the
.html file. Although it was made for a very specific purpose, it can be
modified to do a number of things. It recurses subdirectories, so it can be
used as a general find/replace file with an HTML interface. It is freeware
and can be freely modified. I'd appreciate it if you let me know where you
are using this file, however.
Please send any suggestions regarding this file to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks to all who helped me write the regular expressions -- I sincerely
appreciate your help.

hey all, this is my first message to this group, im gonna print it out :)
anywho, im having problems getting data out of the count() function i've
implemented, could anyone lend a hand?
$query = "select count(fld_gender) from tbl_survey";
how exactly is it that you output data retrieved from a count()
implementation?

The same way you retrieve data from any other query - SQL functions like
count() or sum() return data in the same fashion as normal, non-computed data.
As an example:
$foo = mysql_query("select count(*) from table");
echo "Number of records in table: " . mysql_result($foo, 0);
Alias the count()
$query = "select count(fld_gender) s sumField from tbl_survey";
$result = mysql_query( $query, $dbConnection );
$aRow = mysql_fetch_array( $result );
print( $aRow["sumField"] );

I've built php from a tarball. Now I need to specify a special include path
in the php.ini file. But I can't find it. There is a php.in-dist in the
build catalog but I can't find a production php.ini anywhere.
The docs says that it should be in the install catalogue (which is where?,
/usr/local/lib/php doesn't have one) or the cwd. I've tried editing the
sample file and putting it in either place but my app still gives me the
following error:
Failed opening required 'class.DBI' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php')

read INSTALL doc, they will told you
/usr/lib/php
is the default configuration... if I am not worng... 'cause I have some
memory leaks recently :-)
have you tried :
# locate php.ini
# locate php.ini-dist
while on windows it should be located in WINNT directory (on NT/2K). It will
ask YOU to move them there during the installation.

Subject: [PHP] Where is php.ini located by default?
I've built php from a tarball. Now I need to specify a special include path
in the php.ini file. But I can't find it. There is a php.in-dist in the
build catalog but I can't find a production php.ini anywhere.
The docs says that it should be in the install catalogue (which is where?,
/usr/local/lib/php doesn't have one) or the cwd. I've tried editing the
sample file and putting it in either place but my app still gives me the
following error:
Failed opening required 'class.DBI' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php')
in FILENAME

If I'm not mistaken, the "locate" command uses a cache which is only updated
every 24 hours or so. You can either recreate locate's cache by reading
locate's man pages, or you can actually search the filesystem by using the
following commands:
cd / (go to the root directory)
find . -name php.ini
The last command actually searches the filesystem at the time the command is
executed, instead of relying on a cached database like the locate command.
Of course, if the file has been on your system for a while and has not
recently changed location, you should probably use locate because the search
will be faster.
Also, another tip: To make sure you know where the configuration file is
going to be, compile PHP with this option:
./configure --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd (or wherever you would like
to place your file.)

NEW: Unix install paths changed
Please note that the PHP 4.0.5 release will have a new set of installation
paths for any Unix-like operating systems.
The default php.in path is now "/usr/local/etc" (previously "/usr/local/lib")
PEAR will be placed in "/usr/local/share/php/pear" (previously
"/usr/local/lib/php") shared extensions can be found in"/usr/local/lib/php"
http://www.zend.com/zend/week/week34.php
btw, i found that the configure option:
--with-config-file-path=PATH
is slightly misleading, as "PATH" to usually refers to a file
location. moreoever, php does not report if it fails to read
a php.ini. perhaps the text should be rewritten as:
--with-config-file-path=DIR

i think the easiest way to see php setting is by running info.php script.
if it's not on your webserver, just create one php file with content like
this :
<? echo phpinfo() ?>;

u can use backtick, exec(), system(), passthru()
make sure you read manual first before choosing the right one
ie;
<?
$ps ="ps ax";
echo"<pre>result:\n";
$result = system($ps);
?>
can some one debug this script for me... it say's "Warning: Undefined
variable: total in PHP_poll.php on line 63"

Dear folks,
I am composing a coding standards for our team. Bottom line, we are
using PEAR, object-oriented programming, extreme programming, and
PHPDoc. Below is the draft so far. I'd greatly appreciate it if
anybody care to give inputs on the document. Nevertheless, I hope
this could be useful to some.
Thank you.
Regards,
Steve
STYLE GUIDE FOR PHP DEVELOPERS
==============================
$Id$
0. General
----------
Understand these points and you are halfway there already.
0.1 We are writing PHP4 application here, not PHP3, nor Perl, Python, etc.
So use PHP idioms.
0.2 We use the PEAR convention, except: 1) the tests in tests/ are written
using unit test as much as possible. 2) preferred error reporting is
slightly different. See 8.2 Reporting error.
0.3 Consistency matters.
0.4 Standards is important.
0.5 Readability matters. Especially since the code will be touched by
several developers.
1. Formatting
-------------
1.0 Enclosing PHP code
Always use <?php ?>.
1.1 Indentation
Preferred indentation is using Tab (interpreted at 4 spaces).
1.2 Text width
If possible, do not write long lines exceeding 79 columns. But this is
not a strict requirement. In many cases it is much more convenient or
vertically readable to put things in one line. So do that instead.
1.3 Curly brace placement
This style:
if (...) {
...
}
is more preferred than:
if (...)
{
...
}
1.4 Whitespaces
- No whitespace after function or method name. Example:
exit()
not
exit ()
$obj->method()
not
$obj->method ()
- Generally, no whitespace inside the enclosing parenthesis, unless it
enhances readability. Examples:
ucfirst($str)
not
ucfirst( $str )
- No whitespace between = in default argument definition.
function f($a, $b=1, $c='')
not
function f($a, $b = 1, $c = '')
- Add whitespace between assignment.
$a = 1;
not
$a=1;
- Whitespace in expressions are usually not necessary. But use them when
they enhance readability.
$a = $b + $c*(5*time());
1.5 Function names
Function names are not case sensitive in PHP. Use the all-lowercase
notation.
1.6 Quotes
Use whichever ones you like. But if you can use '' for simple strings,
and "" only if you need interpolation.
Avoid backslashism! Use ' to quote ", use " to quote '. You can also
utilize PHP4's here-documents.
print <<<EOT;
Some
multiline
text
with
"quotes"
EOT
However, here-document has one disadvantage: it messes indentation. So
choose wisely.
1.7 Blank lines
- Separate each class with two blank lines.
- Separate each function and variable definition in the class with one
blank line.
- Give one blank line after the class definition.
Example:
class MyClass {
function myMethod() {
...
}
var $myAttr1;
var $myAttr2;
}
class YourClass {
}
2. Internationalization
-----------------------
gettext().
3. Comments
-----------
2.1 Inline comments.
Inline comments are used to explain a particular small part of a code.
Example:
$var = 2;
$Good or $var--; // compensate for bad weather
Use inline comments sparingly. Code should already be clear anyway.
2.2 Debugging comments.
# is used to comment out certain parts of a code during debugging.
2.3 Documentation comments.
These use the JavaDoc/PHPDoc syntax. Give to each class, class variable,
method, global constant, and function. Refer to their own documentation.
One place to start: http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/
Below is the summary of the syntax.
/**
* Short description.
*
* @param type $name - description
* @return type description
*
* Longer description .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ....
* .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ....
*/
function foo() {
/**
* Short description.
*/
var $foo = '';
/**
* Short description.
*
* @var object ClassName
*/
var $bar;
/** Short description.
*
* Longer description...
*/
define('CONSTANT_NAME', 1);
No blank lines before the definition. A blank comment line between short
description - long description - @param/@return.
3. Naming
---------
3.1 Classes
ClassName
Follow PEAR-style namespace "embedding". For example:

4. File organization
--------------------
4.1 All library codes will live in the PEAR root directory.
4.2 All PHP libraries and include files, is named with '.php' extension (ie.
no '.lib', '.inc', etc.). Test scripts is named with '.phpt' extension.
4.3 Always try to use register_once() to include libraries. If that is not
possible, use include_once(). Example:
require_once "Data/Collection.php";
4.4 All project- or product-specific library files should live under their
own directory under the PEAR root.
Example:
/this/is/the/pear/root/
Data/
Collection.php
DB/
MyProjName/
MyClass.php
4.5 For now, write one class per file (because of current PHPDoc's
limitation).
5. Testing
----------
5.1 Follow the Extreme Programming methodology.
5.2 Create test scripts and put them in tests/ subdirectory. Use phpunit for
the testing framework.
5.3 How to make test script:
- a test script tests one or more classes;
- name the script file after the [main] class you are testing. Give it
extension .phpt (to avoid PHPDoc parsing the file). For example, if
you want to test Template_Processor, create Template_Processor.phpt in
the Template/tests/ directory.
- require the phpunit file at the very top, to enable maximum warning
level.
- create one or more test case classes. For example,
Template_Processor_TestCase.
- create one function that will return the test suite class (name this
function with the _makeSuite suffix). For example,
Template_Processor_makeSuite. Add all the test case(s) and return the
resulting test case.
- create one test runner class. For example,
Template_Processor_TextRunner.
- instantiate the test runner class. For example, create the object
$Template_Processor_TestRunner. Run the test runner.
See Template_Processor.phpt in the lib/common/Template/tests/ directory
for an example implementation of this.
6. Creating documentation
-------------------------
6.1 For API documentation, use Javadoc syntax. Generate the documentation
using PHPDoc (included with PEAR). See one of the class files to see an
example of this. Refer to the Javadoc manual for more details. A few
tips on writing doc comments:
- Always use:
/**
* One sentence documentation.
*/
Instead of:
/** One sentence documentation. */
PHPDoc gets a little confused with the later.
- The short description is a short sentence, in an imperative tone,
ended with a period.
- If the longer description is composed of more than one paragraphs, use
<p>.
6.2 For other developer documentation (README files, Changelog, etc), use
plain text files (such as this guide).
6.3 For application user documentation, use whatever format you like. Stick
to simple, common, portable format like HTML and PDF.
7. Database programming
-----------------------
Perhaps we will use the database abstraction classes from PEAR in the
future. Currently we only use MySQL, so mysql_* will do. End users will
seldom touch this, however, since we are providing higher level abstraction
classes (for example, through Data_Collection classes).
8. Error handling
-----------------
8.1 Return values
Do always check return values of functions, especially those that
access/manipulate external resources like database (mysql_*), file I/O,
remote URLs, shared memory, etc. Suppress error output of the function
with @ if necessary. For example:
$res = @mysql_query(...);
if (!$res) {
# deal with error...
}
8.2 Reporting error
If you write your own function or method, I recommend a variation of the
PEAR style. The PEAR style is directly returning a PEAR_Error whenever a
function encountered an error condition. I find it rather cumbersome,
since the error checking becomes verbose:
function yourMethod($foo) {
if ($bar) {
# an error condition...
return new PEAR_Error($msg);
}
}
$result = $obj->yourMethod($foo);
if (PEAR::isError($result)) { // cumbersome!
# react accordingly
}
The common idiom is like this:
if (!$obj->yourMethod($foo)) ... // if fails, ...
if ($obj->yourMethod($foo)) ... // if success, ...
Every PHP programmer is familiar to this idiom. It is simple, and
simplicity matters because we will do a bunch of these.
So what we do is store the PEAR_Error object in the object attribute
(recommended name is $error). And we can also use raiseError() directly
if you think the error should potentially stop execution if needed (if
you want to use this style, your class must be a descendant of PEAR).
function yourMethod($foo) {
if ($bar) {
# an error condition...
$this->error = $this->raiseError($msg);
return; // return false
}
return 1; // return success
}
if ($obj->yourMethod($foo)) {
# react accordingly. PEAR_Error is available in $obj->error;
}
This is like the C errno() style but specific per object. Multithreading
is not relevant in the current PHP program so this is not a problem.
In classes that do not subclass PEAR, or in normal functions, you can
use the 'new PEAR_Error()' style.
Let's hope that PHP will soon support exceptions, so handling errors
will become easier.
9. Portability
--------------
9.1 Always use <?php ?>.
9.2 Try to make your library code work with or without register_globals
turned on. Better still, do not use globals at all in the library code.
9.3 magic quotes. This one is a pain to work with portably, since we do not
know whether an argument comes from an external source, or from
GET/POST/Cookie parameter, or neither. Therefore, all library codes
should probably assume magic_quotes_gpc is off, so it does not bother
with stripslashing.

If you do not understand some part, have objection to a certain rule, or
have an idea to improving style, please discuss it with me.

Hi,
How do you add text vars together e.g.
$varone = "hello";
$vartwo = "world";
$varthree = ($varone, $vartwo);
Obviously the above example doesn't work so can someone tell me how to do this?
Thanks

$varthree = $varone . $vartwo;
although
$varthree = $varone . ' ' . $vartwo;
might be more appropriate.

Hi all,
I've been trying for many hours to find information on this, but not having
much luck. What i want to do is have an index.php page, and then each link
on that page has a URL like index.php?linkid ie. index.php?links etc
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
