You need to define the type of file you are creating.
Like when you create wml pages with php.
Header("Content-Type: text/javascript");
or summing to that effect.

I looked through your configuration files and didn't notice any serious differences between them and my ones. I have PHP 4.2.1/Apache 2.0.36 on WinXP Pro. My register_globals was off. When I made it On your scipt worked properly. I don't know what the reason. What PHP you have? I attached my php.ini. Maybe you can find some important things. Another one question: does $PHP_SELF give proper value? It must not be set if register_globals=off. So if $PHP_SELF is set to some value, then global variables are registered. And the last question: why do you use global variables? It's much easier to use superglobal arrays $_POST, $_SERVER, etc. They guarantee that any values passed to your script won't be mixed. -- Best regards, Olexandr mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]--- End Message ---

Hello and thanks for your fast answer!
I'ld like to know if there is any possibility to distinguish the selects
if I've multiple multiple selects, that is, more than one on the same
page? What I'm loooking for is the possibility to have an unknown number
of multiple selects on the same page....
Is it possible? Anyone who can describe how to do this or provide a link
to some tutorial? And also, where in the manual can I read about this?
Sincerely,
Victor

Ok, I can't get this right...
Have the following code:
<?
$choices = array(1 => 'dog', 2 => 'cat', 3 => 'mouse', 4 => 'frog');
if (is_array($_REQUEST['animals']))
{
// get the number of selectcases
echo "get the number of selectcases: " . count($animals) . "<br>";
// get the number of provided selects from select with name "2"
echo "get the number of provided selects from select with name
\"2\": " . count($animals[2]) . "<br>";
// test to print some data
echo $animals[2][0]. "<br>";
echo $animals[2][1]. "<br>";
echo $animals[2][2]. "<br>";
echo $animals[2][3]. "<br>";
}
?>
<form method="post" action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">
<select multiple name="animals[2]">
<option value='1'>dog</option>
<option value='2'>cat</option>
<option value='3'>mouse</option>
<option value='4'>frog</option>
</select>
<select multiple name="animals[4]">
<option value='1'>dog</option>
<option value='2'>cat</option>
<option value='3'>mouse</option>
<option value='4'>frog</option>
</select>
<input type="submit"></form>
Why does it not work?
// get the number of selectcases
echo "get the number of selectcases: " . count($animals) . "<br>";
This works great
// get the number of provided selects from select with name "2"
echo "get the number of provided selects from select with name
\"2\": " . count($animals[2]) . "<br>";
But this doesn't...
Thankful for any help,
/Victor

but the scriptname itself will be included there.
Try this, if you don't want the scriptname to be included.:
$url = preg_replace('/^(http:\/\/)[^\/]+((\/[^\/])*\/)([^\/]+)$/',
'\\1$SERVER_NAME\\2', $SCRIPT_URI);
Haven't tested them, but should work.

--- Begin Message ---If you're getting this discouraged over creating a URL, then maybe you should give this stuff up. There's no variable that gives you the full URL of your script, deal with it. What is this parse() function you're using? What does it do? Why is this "over kill and BS"? Try this: $myurlvar = http:// . $SERVER_NAME . dirname($SCRIPT_NAME); ---John Holmes... > -----Original Message----- > From: jtjohnston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, May 26, 2002 1:39 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] inspirational > > I want to detect the url my .php lies in. > > This is over kill and BS: > > $myurlvar = "http://".$SERVER_NAME.parse($SCRIPT_NAME); > > How do I get "http://foo.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/";. > > There seems to be nothing in phpinfo() that will give me a full url to > play with. > > Flame me if you will, but I browsed TFM and found nothing inspirational. > > Looked at phpinfo() too and got discouraged. > > I need a full url. > > John > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php--- End Message ---

Yes.

Yes, with a little work.

For example:
$arr = array('color' => 'red', 'fruit' => 'apple');
$str_arr = urlencode(serialize($arr));
<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="<?php echo $str_arr ?>">
And in the action script, do:
$arr = unserialize(stripslashes($_REQUEST['foo']));
Notes:
a) stripslashes may be needed, in case magical quotes
get in the way (magic_quotes_gpc).
b) am using $_REQUEST, you may use $_GET or $_POST or
whatever contains the form value.
c) hidden, text, textarea ... doesn't matter.
d) a way to test if what _should_ be an array
is really an array is with print_r() and/or
is_array(). print_r($arr);
e) we don't need urldecode() because that'll
happen automatically when going through the form.
f) you could use implode() instead of serialize too.

I hope so :)

This is not really specific to PHP (although the information might be useful
for all that form validation we all do), and for that I apologize in advance
(does anyone know of a regex mailing list?), but maybe someone here can help
with the following:
I find no good regex for checking valid domain names. None that I have seen
take into account the fact that, although dashes ("-") and dots (".") are
allowed in a domain name, the domain name can neither begin with nor end
with a dash or dot, and additionally, two dashes or two dots in a row are
not allowed and a dash followed by a dot or a dot followed by a dash are not
allowed.
So, I've come up with two regex's for checking domain names. The first one
checks that the name contains alphanumerics, the dash and the dot, and
neither begins with or ends with a dash or dot:
^[a-z0-9]$|^[a-z0-9]+[a-z0-9.-]*[a-z0-9]+$
The second one checks that two dashes and two dots are not together and that
a dash followed by a dot or a dot followed by a dash are not together:
--|\.\.|-\.|\.-
Putting it all together, the way I check for a valid domain name is with the
following:
if (eregi("^[a-z0-9]$|^[a-z0-9]+[a-z0-9.-]*[a-z0-9]+$", $domain_name) !=
true
OR eregi("--|\.\.|-\.|\.-", $domain_name) == true
{
error;
}
So, my question (finally!) is this:
Is there any way to combine both expressions (basically, one part that
checks for false and one part that checks for true) into one regex that just
returns true or false? I haven't been able to find any documentation that
shows me how to do that, basically a "like this but not like this" syntax.
BTW, anticipating someone mentioning the fact that the above regex's don't
check for a domain name ending with a dot followed by three characters max
(as in .com, .net, etc.), it's because that long-held truth is no longer
true. We now have .info and .museum, and who know what the future will
bring.
About the only truth left is that domain names end in a dot followed by two
characters minimum (there are the country code domains like .us, .de. etc.
but there are no one character TLD's at present and I would expect perhaps
not for a long long time, but you never know). Perhaps someone would expand
on the regex above to include checking for a name ending with a dot followed
by two characters minimum, I just haven't been into regex's long enough to
know how).
Of course, you could get really anal about all this and check for domain
names that only end in the current ICANN root server TLD's (about 260 or so,
I believe), but that wouldn't account for TLD's that operate within other
root servers (there's always sumthin'). Anyways,
Any help with the above is certainly appreciated!

I use this, but it's a preg rather than ereg pattern:
'/([a-z0-9]+[a-z0-9\-]*\.)+[a-z0-9]+[a-z0-9\-]*[a-z0-9]+$/i'
Two problems (which in practice are so slight that I've foregone my usual
standards-analness to ignore them)
1) It will allow a domain name component (except the final one) to end
with a dash (e.g., "test-.example.com").
2) It will not allow a one-character final component.

--- Begin Message ---Dear folks, Has anyone ever been able to get a CGI to produce valid PHP output?? Whatever I do, my browser ALWAYS wants to open or save the non-parsed PHP text produced by the CGI file. And yes, I have set the proper ExecCGI and PHP entries in my vhosts.conf; and yes, I restarted the server. Basically, I open an existing php file (in a Perl CGI), and output its contents again to the Apache server. The CGI starts with sending this header: print "Content-type: application/x-httpd-php\n\n"; Then I output the text. But, no matter what I do, it will not parse the PHP code. I do not understand this. Regular PHP files in that dir work fine. There is, as far as I can see, no reason why this should not work. And the PHP file really needs to be generated from the CGI, as it needs to run as a specific user. Anyway, any help would be much appreciated, - Mark--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---The problem is that you are sending this output to the browser and not the server. You can do this with XML because IE and Netscape have XML parsers built-in. You should create a form that will catch the data from CGI then handle it on the server. There might be other work arounds as well...however, I have only played with the XML stuff...

I tested ini_set('register_globals',0) and ini_set('register_globals','Off')
for turning register_globals off. It doesn't work and it doesn't produce any
notice, warning or error.
Here's a quick example:
<?php
ini_set('register_globals',0);
if(isset($test))
echo "<h2>$test</h2>";
?>
<form action="ini_set.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="test" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
This prints out $test, what it shouldn't do with register_globals turned
off.
I tested this with PHP 4.1.2 and 4.2.1. Even if I start to doubt it is
supposed to work according to the documentation. Can anyone tell
me what I've done wrong?
For some strange reason if I do
echo ini_set('register_globals',0);
it will print "10". For
echo ini_set('register_globals','Off');
it will print "1Off".
Jens
PS: ini_set works fine with include_path and error_reporting

you get the idea
I think PHP does have other funtions for file uplading though.
