They're just variables. You can print them or use them as function
arguments...
<? mail ($_GET['to'], $_GET['subject'], "Hey, {$_GET['comments']}") ?>

Why do you waste time assigning a variable to a variable...Is it really that
hard to just use the $_POST array?
<?php
echo "<b>" . $_POST["from"] . "</b>\n";
echo $_POST["two"] . "\n";
echo $_POST["sub_ject"] . "\n";
echo $_POST["comments"] . "\n";
mail($_POST["two"],$_POST["sub_ject"],$_POST["comments"]);
?>
If that's too hard to understand, use extract().

Thanks for your reply, but let me rephase the question.
Let say I have a form with 50 fields on it do I have to:
echo $_POST['one']
....
.....
.....
echo $POST['fifty']
Or should I, could I use extract()?
Thanks in advance,
David

You can use extract if you want, but be careful, because it has security
implications. Make sure you explicitly declare starting values for all
non-user-supplied variables within that scope at some point after calling
extract.

Do you simply need to view all of the values passed through the form? In
that case try something like..
foreach ($_POST as $name => $value)
{
echo $name." : ".$value."<br>";
}

extract() wouldn't do you any good here, you'd still have to use echo $one,
echo $two, etc...so what are you gaining?
If you just want the values displayed, use the foreach() method someone
already posted. You can use implode() to combine the whole array in to a
single string...if you need something more than that, let us know. With that
many elements, maybe it's time to rethink your layout or naming conventions.

As you know, $_POST exists. You can also assign
groups of names to an array through your HTML form
like so:
<input type="text" name="bar[name]">
<input type="text" name="bar[doh]">
...
And then play with them, for example:
extract($_POST['bar']);
print "I say $name and $doh";
extract($_POST['bar'], EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, 'bar');
print "I say $bar_name and $bar_doh";
extract() is a pretty cool function with many
options, read about extract here:
http://www.php.net/extract
And as already stated by others,
import_request_variables() and $_REQUEST exist too.

Philip Olson

Sort of. Look at the extension "overload" in the ext directory of the PHP
source. Enable it and check out the docs:

I have a 'name' field in a MySQL table that contains people's first and
last names, i.e. "John Smith" - but some people may choose not to
include their last name, so they're just "John" in the table, or they
may choose to include themselves and someone else, but not the last
name, "John and Jane".
I'm thinking the easiest way to sort by last name, which is what I want
to do, is to just go into MySQL and make 'first_name' and 'last_name'
fields, but if there's a way to do this with PHP that'd be great, so
then I wouldn't have to mess with the table and data.
Anyhow, I've looked up sort() and asort() in the PHP manual, but I'm
not sure how I'd go about this. I assume I'd use some kind of function
to read the 'name' field to the first space, take what it finds after
the space and put it into an array, then have some if/else statement to
deal with the lack of a space or the presence of multiple spaces, then
use sort() on that array.
Just looking for some guidance, maybe a specific function or bit of
code. Anything that'd help. Or if this would be more easily addressed
by reconfiguring my MySQL table, just let me know.
Thanks,
Jason Soza

No, it wouldn't. You'd be wasting a lot of time and memory. Do the job
right. Separate the fields.
If you already have a large dataset, you can use PHP to do the initial
separation, but it'll be a pain.

via MySQL you can search by and order/sort by a substring'ed result. Of
course, when someone only puts one name or they enter multiple first
names, it doesn't work quite the way it's supposed to.
For what i do, the following query returns the first letter of the last
name in alphabetical order.
SELECT substring(substring_index(fullname,' ',-1),1,1)
FROM user
GROUP BY substring(substring_index(fullname,' ',-1),1,1)
ORDER by substring_index(fullname,' ',-1) ASC
There is a demo at http://www.defconzero.com/user.php?op=view
Hope that provides some insight.

You _definetly_ want to do this in your database, not with PHP and arrays.
Databases are made to do this kind of sorting for you.
I would modify your table first, adding in another column for first_name,
then modify your form so that all data going in from now on is correct. The
hard part will be getting the data you have now into the correct format. How
big of a table are we talking?

Hi Jason,
I'd just get it over with and make first_name and last_name fields in your
table. It will be so much easier to sort by last name that way. I do it
this way everytime. It won't take much time to implement either.
Good luck,
Tyler Longren

It's actually not that large of a table, but it'll still be a PITA to
get all of the data reinserted.
I have about 50 records with the following fields:
'gen', 'year', 'color', 'name', 'email', 'location', 'misc', 'pic1', 'pi
c2', 'pic3', 'pic4'
So basically, I guess I want to rename 'name' to 'first_name', add
another column for 'last name', then update each record to separate the
first and last names into their respective columns, eh?
I suppose the easiest way is to save/export the table as a tab-
delimited txt file, make my first/last name changes that way, change
the layout of the table, then update the table using the new txt file?
Sorry for the newbie (and MySQL) questions - I'm not a programmer or DB
admin by trade, just volunteered to make a website and got caught up
with PHP and MySQL. I'm learning, really I am! (And having fun too!)

Yeah, just dump it, edit it, and import it back into a table. 50 records
shouldn't take you to long. You'll thank yourself later.. :)

If you're going to be changing your database, you might also consider
what to do with 'picX'. As it stands you've got a max of four pics, but
what if you later decide on a max of 5 or reducing it to 3?
I'd actually separate them out to their own table and just have an ID
reference that points them to your user data and the 'picX' data as the
second field.
The you can use a join to get all the information and you aren't limited
by your database structure to any set number of 'pic' records.
...and now that I'm completely off-topic I think I'll finish here.

Hi all,
I have to do the following:
open a socket to an external server
authenticate on that server
begin retrieving articles and write to local files
I am able to connect the server via Net/Sockets.php and authenticate.
Now the tricky part...the data is fed via an XML format...
I would like to say "start reading lines starting with <tag> until line
containing </tag>"
then, take that information and write it to a file.
The problem is that the articles are not fixed length.
Any help appreciated.

I'm stumbling over how to allow people to put single or double quotes
in a form text field.
I am passing the form to itself ($PHP_SELF) and on the second time
through previewing what the form data will look like and also
re-creating the form with the data already filled in.
Here's an example of one text field:
$display_line .="<input type='text' name='signature'
value='$noslash_signature' size='35' maxlength='100'>";
(I have stripslashes() the $signature variable to create
$noslash_signature.)
If someone signs their name O'Brien, the preview shows O'Brien, but
all that shows in the form field is O. However, Joe "Bruiser" Jones
displays correctly in preview and the form.
If I change the code like this (adding the \" around the variable):
$display_line .="<input type='text' name='signature'
value=\"$noslash_signature\" size='35' maxlength='100'>";
O'Brien will display OK, but Joe "Bruiser" Jones shows just Joe in
the form field.
One solution is to change the text form to textarea, but I'd prefer
to be able to redisplay at text form field if possible.
TIA,
John Hughes

Yeah, you have to convert the single and double quotes to html entities so
they are not mistaken for the end of the string.
If you look at your source code, you'll see why it's happening.
value = 'O'Bryan'
value = "Joe "Bruiser" Smith"
You can see how the 'O' is taken as the string, and the rest is ignored.
Same for the double quotes.

Dear Kirk (and Julio)
Thanks for the response..
I don't want to use a link to the images because backing up my data and
porting it to another machine is much easier. (Replicating is also very
easy.) When storing the file separately this gets more complex, especially
when you want to get this data from another machine...
The stored data isn't retrieved very often, so speed isn't really an issue.
(Till now speed really never was an isse. When adding the right indexes
MySql + PHP does incredible things!!.)
I do though use the suggested 'linking' method for an website where the
images are needed on the website.. In the current situation though I store
PDF images of invoices which are basically only needed to look something up
if there is a problem...
Kirk, I already tried changing the properties of the column in which I
store the images.. (Currently it is an longtext, but before this I always
used an Longblob...)
I can't remember the exact sizes of MySQL, but I believe that an Mediumblob
can handle 16 Megabyte.. (I know have little more than a 1 MB..)
I will try some things tomorrow, but I can't find out what the problem is..
(Column size, PHP-Mysql string length limitation or maybe something I am
overlooking..)
I can though echo the query to screen and see that the uploaded file is
encoded to a very nice (large) text-string..
Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.
With kind regards,
David Bouw

Hi, I think if you encode the file with base64 and store it in the
database the size of the document will be more than 1MB sure.

Is it possible to modify the password attribute in LDAP? I am the netscape
directory server for authentication, but would like to allow the user to
change their own password. When I search for a user and get the attibutes
for that user password is not available. Am I missing something here?
Thanks.

Sounds like desired behavior to me. I would think that you may be able to
change the password, but aren't allowed to retrieve its value.

Is there another way then to register form variables global? I just
downloaded, and instlaled the newest version of PHP, and now my form script
doesn't work anymore. I had to register the form variables global in the
script. I'm asking, is there a better way of doing this? I've herd it can
lead to possible security hazards.

Sorry, I'll have to clerify myself a bit. I'm rather tired. :)
I have a script that verifys and inserts (into and Access databse) form
values. I had to make the form variables "global", in order to use them in
my functions. Since the new PHP is out, the script doesn't work anymore. I
think its probably because of the fact that I had to make those variables
global (none of the variables are being read).
Does any of you have an idea about how I can fix this problem? Thanks in
advance.

This is not the global that is meant on the update. Not the global $var
that you put inside your functions.
That's scope, btw. You are making a variable available inside a different
scope (the function), by making it "global".
The global you are searching for is, like when you submit a form, a field
name becomes a varible on the "action" page with the same name. So:
<input name="username"...
Would create a $username variable. Not anymore :-)
Now you need to specify where it came from, either with $_POST or
$HTTP_POST_VARS.
So... action page again:
$username = $_POST['username'];
But, if you don't want to convert your script (and I object btw, you
should ;-), you can modify a line at php.ini so variables are *globally
registered* again.

Look into the extract() function. You could use it to turn the $_POST
or $_GET arrays into local variables, whether you do it at the beginning
of the script and make them global as you are currently doing or by
doing it at the beginning of the functions that you use them, without
globalizing anything.
For example... given the url http://localhost/foo.php?bar=banana
you'd have $_GET['bar']=="banana" instead of $bar=="banana";
at the beginning of the script you'd have extract($_GET); and $bar would
exist with the value "banana"

Thank you so much Austin, and Julio! Your replies are an amazing help to me.
Thanks! Maybe I'll even get this project I'm working on done this week. =)
Anyhoo, Julio, you mean that option in the PHP.INI, is it
"register_globals"? Well, anyhow, I'm going to "convert" my script, as you
put it.
Again, thanks for your help, I'm going to definatly look up the "extract()"
function, Austin.

It means that DirectoryIndexing is enabled in apache =) you can either
disable that (recommended) or as a quick fix put a blank index.htm (or .html
file) in that directory so when someone calls up just the directory they get
that blank page.

As far as I know, you can't. Headers are for html/http information not
for any particular "helper application". If you want to have control
over the configuration of Excel you'll have to learn to output your data
as a valid Excel spreadsheet with the relevant formatting information
included - this would obviously involve knowing a fair bit about the
data structure and format of .xls files.

strange i just worked this out over the weekend.
I'm going to be use it to email data that will be inserted
into an excel sheet you just tell it the html file is a xls file
in the mime headers and it opens the file up in excel,
no problem and no messing with csv files, comas,
xml support and all that.
ie
Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel;
name="test.xls"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="test.xls";
if it's excel 2002 (xp) you can use styles and edit the doc properties.
have a look for <x:DisplayGridlines/> or <x:DoNotDisplayGridlines/>
in the file. If it's 97 then you need the border=1 in the table though.
have fun.

File is on another server. Is there a way to check if file exists on another

Does fopen() actually work for https connections? I thought this
implementation was not yet released.

You open the brace for the positive branch of the if and then leave it
open surrounding the else condition.
WRONG:
if (condition)
{ do something;
else
do something else;
}
RIGHT:
if (condition)
{ do something; }
else { do something else; }
As for "finding the problem" with file_exists' limitation to local files,
that's a different problem.

I wrote the following function a while ago to do this. It works with http URLs and
should also
work with https and ftp, but I have only tested http. I hope it's useful to you.
function RemoteFileExists($url, $referer)
{
$url_parts = parse_url($url);
if ($url_parts["scheme"] != "http" && $url_parts["scheme"] != "https" &&
$url_parts["scheme"] != "ftp")
{
// Don't currently handle shemes other than HTTP and HTTPS, so assume the file
exists for now
return TRUE;
}
$ch = curl_init();
$urltoget = $url_parts["scheme"]."://".$url_parts["host"].$url_parts["path"];
if (isset($url_parts["query"])) $urltoget .= "?".$urltoget["query"];
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $urltoget);
if ($url_parts["scheme"] == "http" || $url_parts["scheme"] == "https")
{
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer);
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$reply = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if ($url_parts["scheme"] == "http" || $url_parts["scheme"] == "https")
{
$result = explode(" ", $reply);
$reply = ($result[1] == "200");
}
return $reply;
}

You actually _need_ that hidden tag set AFAIK.

I'm curious, I keep seeing people say that that tag is /necessary/, but I've
never had to use it in the upload forms that I've built and they work just
fine in Opera, NN & IE.
Can anyone explain /why/ it's needed?
AFAICT from the manual that tag is only to advise the browser to limit the
size of the file being uploaded, nothing to suggest that the absence of the
tag would prevent uploading. But if that was indeed the case then what
browsers does it affect?

Good question. To be honest it's been a while since I looked, I built a
file upload function as part of a standard set of functions that I
include in projects and then stopped worrying about it. As a result
it's been a some time since I looked at that sort of thing. I recall
including it for a reason but don't exactly recall the reason.

I guess that anything that causes this sort of thing to happen on the
browser is going to help. I know I'd be fairly unimpressed if I sat
waiting for a 2MB file to upload only to find that the limit is 1.5MB or
some such. At least if a client-side limit is given the browser can do
something about it.
Not that I actually recall testing that either - I've so far only used
file upload capabilities on intranet projects where I have fully
switched 100MB and the like.

The moment you output anything to your page you can't do an automated
redirect using the header() function.
If you need to output something and then do a redirect automatically
then you're going to have to start fiddling quite a bit. The first
thing that springs to mind would be inserting a meta refresh in your
<head> but this won't help if you have a conditional redirect. The
second would be to do it in javascript where your alert box determines
what url to go to and you use that javascript to do the navigation
(perhaps by simulating a form submission).

After further research, (reading the redhat php spec file completely)
I discovered how they were making it, so that php binaries, and apache
php module was working at the same time...
The rpm builds the cgi root, and installs it, and the builds the apache
root, and installs that over the cgi installation, which overwrites some
things, but fortunately(as the spec file documents) they are
compatible...
So, I simply went to the spec file, where it built the cgi tree, and
--enable-pcntl \
and rpm -ba phpxxxxx.spec,
and viola, pcntl support in the php binary!
Hope this helps others....

Subject: [PHP] --enabel-pnctl / php sockets
I have recently discovered php's binary capabilities, and am using it to
write a virtual isp management system, so that a php binary will listen
to a port, and spit out an interface, such as webmin,
etc...(http://vispman.org)
This interface will be able to add virtual domains, restart dns, qmail,
etc...
I have seen a couple of other php binary projects(using php sockets),
such as phserv, where an entire web server (like apache) has been
written in nothing but php.
I tried to install these, and they wouldn't run without php compiled
with
--enable-pcntl
Now, it is my understanding that --enable-pcntl is for process control,
and it only works if you are compiling php as a cgi module, and not as
an apache add-on.
(at least that is the error I got , when taking a redhat php rpm, and
editing the spec file to include the --enable-pcntl)
Is there any way to get that to compile, while maintaining all original
functionality in the redhat php rpm?
What I am really looking for here, is a php binary, that will spit out a
web control interface(standard web page, with forms on the client side)
That will listen on a non-apache port, and if a connections is detected,
lock it in securely...
But...still allow other connections, (like apache listens to
minservers/maxservers....multiple sessions on one port)
The idea being that one isp might have multiple admins/staff entering in
domain information.
Any help on this is much appreciated.

You are doing something wrong. Exactly WHAT, I don't know.
Since your XML data sample was on multiple lines, I could guess that the
problem is you're only getting the last line from the Character Data
handler. And, since the last line is blank, you get, blank back in the
variable.
Dude, like I said, go check out "PHP XML Parsing Basics" at

it works fine for me
<?

{
$this->xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_object($this->xml_parser, $this);
xml_set_element_handler($this->xml_parser, "start_element",

xml_set_character_data_handler($this->xml_parser, "character_data");

function character_data($p, $d)
