this might be because you use the cgi version of php. to be able to send
e.g.
404 header, you have to run php as webserver module which currently only
works with apache and linux afaik. otherwise these headers get send by the
webserver and you cannot affect them.
if you use php with apache as module, you should use this:
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
or look at this tutorial: http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/authentication.php

This is just speculations, but I thought I'd as well ask now before I get to
work
Lets say I have a news page, and I only want the last ten posts to show on
it, then I ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 10 right?
but how do I add the next page?
count rows from the database and see if its more than 10 lines, and then ?
saw something about a MAX and a MIN mysql command, but how do I use it? and
should I use it for that purpose? :)
like... ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 10 MIN(10) MAX(20) or something?
I dont know really.. just speculations as I said :)

Rather than indulging in idle speculation, consult the mysql manual :)
For the first 10:
... ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 0, 10
For the next 10:
... ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 10, 10

Yes I have built many a forums and product listings/search engines like this..
simply make it check using COUNT how many rows there are total..
now let's say your viewing page 1..
so we can see listing 1 - 10 therefore the first offset is 1
so the next set will logically be 11-20
so with this info:
<?
$page=(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["page"])?$HTTP_GET_VARS["page"]?1);
$item_count=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM tablename",$DB));
if($item_count-$page>10) echo "<a href=".$PHP_SELF."?page=".($page+10).">Next Page
>></a>";
?>
now as you can see I use $HTTP_GET_VARS["page"] here so this means that the page will
add in the GET var by itself as the user browses around the place..
For extra functionality: (code from before plus some new bits)
<?
$page=(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["page"])?$HTTP_GET_VARS["page"]?1);
$item_count=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM tablename",$DB));
if($page>10) echo "<a href=".$PHP_SELF."?page=".($page-10)."><< Previous Page</a>";
if($item_count-$page>10) echo "<a href=".$PHP_SELF."?page=".($page+10).">Next Page
>></a>";
?>
this simply adds a backward control to the form as well..
from here you can design it as you wish... generally placed in a table on bottom left
and right, using this same system you can also expand it to create a numerical fast
page index at the bottom with a listing of available pages (1 2 3 4 5 6) as links etc..
endless possibilities..
okay then... I hope I was able to help someone out here..

hi!
i've got the following problem and hope one of you is able to help me
solving that:
i've got a system in php that writes data (e.g. variable-name = $data)
to a mysql database. there are two more scripts: one for displaying the
data and one for writing the data into a formular. the displaying-script
includes a link to the formular-script which submits the values for
$data. i use the command 'htmlentities' to express the value (there is
an html-tag like <img src="http:...">) correctly. when the
formular-script is executed via this link i get a wrong result: <img
src=\"....\"> there are these backslashes...
what 2 do??
thX,
George

You most likely have "magic_quotes_runtime" enabled in php.ini. Either
disable it or use stripslashes() on the data you retrieve from the db.

Add Konqueror on Linux to this list.
Also note that links 0.84 (the latest version on Debian Stable) does _not_
parse XHTML tags correctly.

Okay, I've tested it on everything I've got, and didn't have a problem at
all.
This includes (Mac):
- IE
4.0
4.5
5.0
5.1
- Netscape
2.02
3.01
3.04
4.04
4.6
6.2
- iCab 2.71
- Opera 5.0
I couldn't get IE3 to run (missing an extension?), but on the above lists,
I'm pretty satisfied that <br /> works for 99.9999% of Mac users.
I'm sure a PC user can fill in the blanks to confirm everything, but I'm
pretty comfortable using <br />, or using nl2br() "as is" on my sites, and
won't be going back thru all my code :)

'Deadly' wrong? Wow.

Justin is right on this one. This was changed on Dec 27, 2000. So it's
been around for quite a long time.
It was added because it's valid XML *and* valid HTML. It is true that
some browsers will not correctly interpret <br/> (note the lack of a
space before the /) but everything I've ever tested has been just fine
with <br />. As they should.
This has been discussed a zillion times on the mailing lists. Maxim, you
could have found lots of background on the change by searching the list
archives (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com) the bug database
(http://bugs.php.net) and the CVS repository (http://cvs.php.net). Some
links which may explain things a bit better:
A thread on the topic:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=99321596031773&w=2
The CVS entry itself:

Hi!
I have this website with a webshop that customers can order some products.
And when the products are listed up in the cart on the screen, would I like
to get the output
into a new txtfile and save it on the server. Then it is possible to get it
faxed, and that is the goal.
Anyone who has done this before?
Thanks for all help!
Best regards

If it's your web site, you have all the data, so why not just generate the
text yourself at the same time as you're generating the HTML? You can
write it to a file or email it to your fax server.

Im using a regular expression, to get all urls from a file.
When using it on the webserver, it processes a 25kb html file
about 0.25 seconds (PIII 350, 128mb ram, linux 2.2.13-7mdk, php 3.0.12).
When i try the same on my machine (Celeron 300A, 192mb ram.), it does it
about 14-17 seconds, which is about 60-70 times slower.
Tested it on:
redhat 7.2, php 4.1.1 - 16 seconds
windows 98, php 4.1.1 - 14 seconds
windows 98, php 3.0.12 - 17 seconds.
The machine speed differences arent that big, especially considering
that other(simpler) regexps run at the almost the same speed (20-30%
difference).
Where can this enourmous speed difference come from
Regexp im using is following:
while
(eregi("(<frame[^>]*src[[:blank:]]*=|href[[:blank:]]*=|http-equiv=['\"]refresh['\"]
*content=['\"][0-9]+;url[[:blank:]]*=|window[.]location[[:blank:]]*=|window[.]open[[:blank:]]*[(])[[:blank:]]*[\'\"]?(([[a-z]{3,5}://(([.a-zA-Z0-9-])+(:[0-9]+)*))*([:%/?=&;\\,._a-zA-Z0-9-]*))(#[.a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?[\'\"
]?",$file,$regexp))
{
print $regexp[2]."\n";
$file=str_replace($regexp[0], "", $file);
}
Anyone care to test it on there machine? Full code (20 lines) with
timing function would be:
<?
function getmicrotime(){
list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ",microtime());
return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);
}
//change to some html file around 25kb in size
$lines = @file('test.html');
if (is_array($lines))
{
while (list($id,$line) = each($lines))
$file .= $line;
}
$start_time=getmicrotime();
while
(eregi("(<frame[^>]*src[[:blank:]]*=|href[[:blank:]]*=|http-equiv=['\"]refresh['\"]
*content=['\"][0-9]+;url[[:blank:]]*=|window[.]location[[:blank:]]*=|window[.]open[[:blank:]]*[(])[[:blank:]]*[\'\"]?(([[a-z]{3,5}://(([.a-zA-Z0-9-])+(:[0-9]+)*))*([:%/?=&;\\,._a-zA-Z0-9-]*))(#[.a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?[\'\"
]?",$file,$regexp))
{
print $regexp[2]."\n";
$file=str_replace($regexp[0], "", $file);
}
$end_time = getmicrotime()- $start_time;
print "Completed in ".$end_time." seconds";
?>

File Size:28537kb,
But for "real tests", send the original file you use direct
BTW How the hell did you develop this monstrous eregi?
For better maintenance, I´d cut it in several pieces,
or first make the inputfile smaller using grep " a href" > to test.file ,
This will reduce
fileaccess a lot, and takes microseconds to proceed.

I'm really curious as to how to output data from ereg_replace() in a
standard way.
I'm familiar with "\\1" to ouput the original string, but not sure as to how
I can use functions within the output parameter to process this value
further.
---------------------
// here is a simple example of what i'm trying to do
$content = 'string string 12463409834234 string string';
$content = ereg_replace( "[0-9]{14}" , substr("\\1",0,5) , $content );
// this is the output i want, but the above doesnt seem to be the right way
to generate it.
string string 12363 string string
--------------------
any ideas?

Hello,
I'm having a problem, hopefully the experts in this group can help me
around it.
I read in the contents of an old mysql database, and made XML files out
of the data contained in it. The total job came out to about 6800 files,
or "Documents".
I'm finding that, sporadically, when reading these XML files, and passing
the xmldata to sablotron, I'm getting sablotron errors. These errors stem
from characters I'm finding throughout these documents. This is the meat
of my problem.
I take a look at a file which is giving errors by using 'less'. When
looking at the file, I'll see chars like this: <A1> or <91> or <92> and
so on, and so on. The chars are hilighted in bold reverse text,
indicating that they are 'binary'??. I'm not sure whether to call them
binary or hex... perhaps someone can tell me how to appropriately address
these chars...
Anyhow... these chars sometimes correspond to valid characters. Such as
<A9>... this is a "copyright" char, or &copy.
I've been manually replacing these characters as errors are generated,
but it's getting a little tiring.
Is there anyway I can force PHP to either strip out these 'binary'
characters, or whatever they are, when I read the file?
Is there any way to keep php from saving these chars to NEW documents
when they are created?
Does anyone even know what I'm talking about?? hehe.
Thanks for any help, I hope to hear from someone about this.

Seems that you work on a win*box, as a tip (don´t know if it works, as I
use LAMP)
try manual -> string functions ->
get_html_translation_table — Returns the translation table used by
htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities()
htmlentities — Convert all applicable characters to HTML entities
htmlspecialchars — Convert special characters to HTML entities
Maybe here you´ll find something that make you happy.
Otherwise, as I learned the last two weeks on the list, ereg_replace or
eregi could
make your life easier.

I already do an htmlentities/specialchars on input data, but some of
these characters are still creeping in...
is there any way, on fread(), to strip out these boolsh*t chars?

Maybe you should replace \r\n by a single \n (only a suggestion as I work
on LAMP, never dealed
with \r\n, but never had probs)

The standard (ie correct) way is "\r\n".

>From the manual:
<snip>
Note: Because flock() requires a file pointer, you may have to use a
special lock file to protect access to a file that you intend to
truncate by opening it in write mode (with a "w" or "w+" argument to
fopen()).
</snip>
The manual indicates that you "may" need to use "a special lock file" if
you intend to open a file with "w" or "w+". I wrote some code to examine
this. (2 files) Each file locks a file after opening using "w" to do so.
Then, the file is locked using LOCK_EX. Subsequently executed, each file
appears to respect the lock applied by the other file. (Each file waits
for the lock to be released by the other) - So, I don't see this manual
entry applying in this case.
In regards to the <snip> above, under what circumstances might you have
to create a separate lock file? Is this an OS issue? Is it an issue when
concurrency is high? The manual says "you may have to"; I am looking for
some clarification as to when exactly you "may have to" follow the
<snip> advice.

Hi,
I have the array below and I want to sort on language. Can't figure it
out. Below the array is what I tried
$ArrayOfNewsLinks = array(
"http://dailynews.yahoo.com/fc/World/Brazil/"; => array(
title => 'Yahoo Brazil News',
category => 'news',
language => 'English',
),
"http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/americas/default.stm"; =>
array(
title => 'BBC News',
category => 'news',
language => 'English',
),
);
function cmp ($a, $b) {
if ($a[2] == $b[2]) return 0;
//return strcmp ( $a[2], $b[2]); // thought this would work
return ($a[1]>$b[1])?1:-1;
}
uksort ($ArrayOfNewsLinks, "cmp");
But then I do this:
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($ArrayOfNewsLinks)) {
$NewsLinks .= "
<p class=\"CompactLinks\">
<a href=\"$key\" title=\"$val[language] $val[title]\"
target=\"new\">$val[title]</a>
</p>
";
}
And the order is not by language.

Hello,
I am able to upload and download Macintosh files but they seem to lose their
MIME type or extensions. I'm not sure what it is. I'm not a Mac dude.
When you download the file It loses the file association. It's for a company
I do work for that uses a lot of .ai and .psd files.
Any ideas on this?

Macs running OS<=9 don't natively rely on extensions to keep track of file
types; something ending in .psd can be a Word file, .doc can be a PDF,
.pdf can be a JPEG, what have you. The name is just the name, nothing
more, nothing less.
Instead, they rely on metadata stored in the directory entry (parallel to
name, creation date, etc.) that identifies the application that created
the file and the data type contained inside.
When you transfer a file between a Mac and another system, it's up to the
application doing the transferring to reconstruct the data type info. Many
apps do it based on extension, but not all of them know a huge number of
extensions (they may know .gif, .html, .txt, etc.). And the MIME type you
send may override their guess. You should find out what MIME type you are
sending and what 4-character Type and Creator info is getting saved;
that'll help immensely in troubleshooting.
Macs running OSX are willing to use extensions in addition to the Mac
style system.

You have to prepend the directory that the web server knows, such as
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/includes/footer.php

You can use almost any of the filesystem functions to send that request to
the remote server and collect the output. The request data will not be
visible in the HTML you send to the end-user's browser unless you choose
to make it so.

Do you really need to use PHP for this? The fastest and easiest way is
using Apache's mod_rewrite.

First things first, when you say domain.com/home/adam do you mean
/home/httpd/htdocs/home/adam or /home/adam/public_html.. Once you know that
you can make a more educated decision.. Either way, you should be able to
specifiy DocumentRoot /home/adam/public_html or DocumentRoot
/home/httpd/htdocs/home/adam in your httpd.conf file for <VirtualHost
adam.domain.com:80>. Unless you are talking about authenticating users or
something and redirecting specific users to the target and the rest
somewhere else..

I think I've got down how to use the new "superglobals" with data sent from
forms using whichever method needed.
Now I need to learn how to do it with sessions!
this is what I'm trying to accomplish.
my website/ client list is growing and I want to add the ability for them to
login, edit account info, check proress, order new services etc.
How do I use sessions, with the new superglobals, to gather the information
I will need to write to the database?

I'm currently running PHP 1.1.2 on Apache 1.3.24/Win2K in SAPI mode (and
this configuration has run incredibly well since last summer, albeit with
changing PHP and Apache sub-versions). I couldn't find any info at php.net
that indicated whether the current or the next version of PHP (1.2.x) will
successfully run on Apache 2.0 (just GA'd).
Any info on this will be greatly appreciated.
