--- Begin Message ---I'm trying to work out the best way to approach a new project, and would appreciate any suggestions/"beware of"s from the experienced PHPers out there. I want to build a project where I can enter data from a gym routine online and generate graphs of the data. I'm not familiar with GDLIB, but is this something that can help generate a graph from mySQL data? Is this project feasible/realistic for a new PHP programmer? Also, any suggestions on the structure of the mySQL database would be appreciated. The general data that would need to be input would be: Date Group Exercise1 Ex1Weight Ex1Reps Ex2Weight Ex2Reps Ex3Weight Ex3Reps Exercise2 Ex1Weight Ex1Reps Ex2Weight Ex2Reps Ex3Weight Ex3Reps etc... Plus several calculations would need to be made, which I could presumably do with PHP when I extract the data. Any/all suggestions on how to plan this process would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everybody,
Having an issue where I am getting unexpected results with a simple query
and at a lost to explain why.
At the end is my code. The problem I believe though I have narrowed down to
the following statement.
1. When I run SELECT accounts.id, accounts.action, people.last,
people.first, people.rank FROM accounts JOIN people WHERE (accounts.account
= people.id OR accounts.id = people.id) AND accounts.status='submitted';
directly into mysql (NOT USING PHP) I get the proper results. (1 row)
2. When I run it below using PHP I get unexpected results. (All 4 rows)
Database looks like:
-----ACCOUNTS-------
ID ACTION STATUS DATE_SUBMITTED ACCOUNT
1 create pending NULL 56
2 modify pending NULL 58
3 new pending NULL 65
4 delete submitted 2002-09-10 89
----PEOPLE----------
ID LAST FIRST RANK
56 A GUY NULL
58 B GUY NULL
65 C GUY NULL
89 D GUY NULL
AFTER JOIN STATEMENT SHOULD LOOK LIKE: (when ran directly with mysql
bypassing PHP)
ID ACTION LAST FIRST RANK
4 delete D GUY NULL
Instead I am getting (when using below code): (when ran with PHP)
ID ACTION LAST FIRST RANK
1 create A GUY NULL
2 modify B GUY NULL
3 new C GUY NULL
4 delete D GUY NULL
Debugging:
Have did mysql_num_rows($query); on the JOIN query and it returns 1 so it is
returning the proper number of rows.
Have also added an iterator to the while($row) to verify loop count == row
count. This also returns 1=1
Yet somehow the 'users' file has ALL 4 entries in it at end of the run.
At a complete loss how this can be so.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Peter

--- Begin Message ---James's answer is likely what you are looking for. As there are many different ways to maintain sessions, you're going to get many different answers. However, the default behavior for PHP sessions is to assign the unique identifier to a cookie. If this cookie has a domain of .web.com (see James's answer below for how), then Web sites at secure.web.com and www.web.com will both be able to read it. Thus, you would need to make no adjustments; you will be using the same session. This is not cross-domain state management... The only caveat is the case where you are running these two domains on two physically separate machines. If this is the case, the above suggestion won't help you without some work. The work in this case would be to store your session data in a database, because the default behavior is to store it on the filesystem. Since you state, "both web sites point to the same set of data," I assume they are either both located on the same machine or both have access to a common database, so one of these methods will work for you. Happy hacking.

--- Begin Message ---The short answer is no (based on my interpretation of your question). Consider carefully where you are wanting to send data and when. The header() function is specifically for manipulating HTTP headers in the response you will send the Web client. You are probably not wanting to post data to the client; you want to post data to another Web server, right? I cannot tell from your question what exactly you are wanting to do, to be honest. If you want to automate a post, you should look into the curl extension of PHP. If you actually only need to maintain data across several pages on your own site, please restate the question. Happy hacking. Chris P.S. You may want to use a proper name in your email client.

Thanks everyone for the helpful answers.
I agree that manuals are useful, but there are times when an example works
better.
I took all of this information, and some details from earlier posts about
dates, and produced the following function to make it easy to format dates
without have to go through and change sql stmts.
# --- Function to format date output ---
function makedate($format, $indate)
{
$temp = explode("-", $indate);
$fulldate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $temp[1], $temp[2], $temp[0]);
$temp = date($format, $fulldate);
return ($temp);
}
The function gets called like this:
makedate('Y/m/d', $row->articledate); or
makedate("F d, Y", $somedate);
Hopefully this will someone else with their date challenges.

First comment is a conceptual one rather than a programming one. I presume you are doing this so that every time someone loads your page they get current information? You do know that the BoM only updates forecasts around three to four times per day don't you? In this case it means that every hit on your page is reloading what is, largely, static information. You would be far better off caching the raw data on your own server and using it from there. Use cron and possibly lynx to grab the raw data that you need on an appropriate schedule (say every six hours or, alternately, around an hour after normal release time for each forecast) and either process it straight away to produce the display information you need or store it locally to be processed each time the page loads. Ideally, you'd create a static version of the page each time you grab new forecast information and just display it. Once you have the data on your server you can process it accordingly which is where the php comes in. The major hurdle is in pattern matching and the like to find the relevant bit. I am currently doing something moderately similar to this on www.outbackqld.net.au (current conditions in top right corner) and it is working just fine with an update every hour or so being cached locally. I'm happy to discuss the issues of doing this further but am not actually using php for anything but the last step - the rest of the solution is done using a combination of cron, lynx and grep.

--- Begin Message ---> Thats a Nice feaure you have, How do you do that? I have a cron event on my server that grabs the relevant page from the web site soon after it is updated (around 20 past each hour) using "lynx -dump url" which then pipes the resulting page dump through grep to grab just the line of data that includes my town and dumps that output to a file. The file contains a single line of data that includes all of the information I display plus some other stuff on the page that I don't use. Within my php page I open that small file and load it into an array for display on the page. Obviously there's some error checking in there for various fail conditions and some other stuff too but that's the basics of it. I've looked at doing something similar for forecasts but as I don't (yet) have a need to display them I haven't got around to it. The main advantage of this method is that you're not grabbing the data on every page load but, instead, only when the data on the source web site can reasonably be expected to have changed. <delurk>As well as running a business with my wife I work for the BoM and have done for about 18 years now</delurk> CYA, Dave--- End Message ---

--- Begin Message ---This frees the memory that is used to store the results of your query (the $result variable in most examples). Many people leave this out, because PHP does a lot of cleanup for you when your script exits. However, it is a good habit to go ahead and free your results once you are finished using them. It is never really necessary, but imagine if you have an enormous result set that takes a great deal of memory, you have many people hitting your site, and you have a great deal of logic remaining before your script executes. The amount of wasted memory can be significant in some cases, so you can use this function to keep the "damage" low. Happy hacking.

Another question about efficiency / using server resources:
In another language I use, I can re-use an ODBC connection to make further
queries/update/etc to the database to save the overhead of closing and
reopening the connection to the db over and over.
It works sometime like this (in the other language):
<iSQL DBNAME='xxx' LOGIN='xxx' SQL='some query'> # opens the connection
... display results...
<iSQLMORE SQL='some other query'> # reuses the connection

Is there an equivalent in PHP to this, using the mySQL set of tags?

I'm trying to generate a dropdown SELECT list from a database query. So far,
all I've managed to create is multiple one-item dropdowns for each database
entry spread across the page. Bad -- very bad!
I'd like normal drop-down SELECT behavior, but somehow the code escapes me.
I've tried a bunch of permutations, but I either end up with an empty
dropdown or multiple single entry messes.
Is there anyway to iterate through this and achieve what I want?
I would greatly appreciate any hints what I'm missing here or doing wrong.
Code follows.
Tia,
Andre
Code (using PostgreSQL):
<?php
. . .
$query = "SELECT * FROM rap WHERE rsponsor = '{$_SESSION['sid']}'";
$result = pg_exec($db, $query);
if (!$result) {exit;}
$numrows = pg_numrows($result);
if ($numrows == 0) {echo "<h2>Sorry!<br><br>'{$_POST['sid']}' is not in the
our database.<br><br> Click 'Back' on
your browser to enter another search.<br><br></h2>"; exit;}
$row = 0;
do
{
$myrow = pg_fetch_array($result,$row);
if ($myrow['rupload'] != "")
{
print "<SELECT name=rapped><option>{$myrow['rfname']}
{$myrow['rsname']}</select>";
}
$row++;
}

Thanks Sascha,
Thought that would do the trick (at least I thought it should) but same
results - a mess of single entry dropdowns.
Perhaps the code should be after the 'row++;' ?
Sigh . . . this is frustrating!

Move <select></select> outside the do-while loop:
print "<SELECT name=rapped>";
$row = 0;
do
{
$myrow = pg_fetch_array($result,$row);
if ($myrow['rupload'] != "") {
print "<option>{$myrow['rfname']}
{$myrow['rsname']}</option>";
}
$row++;
} while ($row < $numrows);
print "</select>";
pg_close($db);

--- Begin Message ---Hello people, Thanks for all your help. I guess I'll go with $oid = pg_last_oid($result); select id from table where oid = $oid; If i'm not mistaken, there will no race issue here: pg_last_oid($result) has already returned me the row that 'I' have just inserted, based on $result, regardless whether there is another user doing an insert. I already have a reference to a row i just inserted. On the other hand, BEGIN INSERT ... whatever SELECT idno ORDER BY (idno) DESC LIMIT 1; END; will have some 'time' between the 'insert' and the 'select'. There is no reference to a row based on $result. There would still probably be a race issue here (just my opinion, not a fact). But if there's anyone could explain the internals, I'd be glad.

Just as Kevin Stone said, you can either use one of these constructions:
function func1() {
global $myarray;
array_push($myarray,1);
}
# _or_
function func2() {
array_push($GLOBALS['myarray'],1);
}
In fact, there is no performance decrease, because PHP will internally use the
same mechanism to access the array - as it would if you were not in a
function.
Another way would be to pass the array as a reference:
function func3(&$myarray) {
array_push($myarray, 1);
}
but this might decrease performace (in compare to the other ways, you will not
really notice it).

Hello everyone,
In a simple signup form that I'm using, I send the
variables to a script, which performs a function if
($submit == "register") {
function();
}
The problem is, my signup form isn't passing the
submit variable, though it is passing the other
variables in the form.
The strange thing is, when I try this in the Opera web
browser, the $submit variable does get passed along,
but in both Mozilla and Konqueror, it does not.
Have I made a little error in the following code? Any
thoughts?
<center>
<div id="loginform">
<center>Join <? print $SITE_NAME; ?>...</center><br />
<br />
<form action="index.php" method="get" name="signup">

I've had this same problem. It seems that the value of submit is only sent
if the button is clicked (netscape and internet explorer). Could it be
that you're using the enter key to submit the form?
The solution I used was to remove the value assignment to the submit button
and set it in a hidden variable
<input type="hidden" name="submit" value="register">

My question is regarding default arguments -- is it possible to define a default
argument that is itself a variable?
I'd like to do the following:
function archive ($max_size = 20560, $archive_dir = "${DOCUMENT_ROOT}/tmp/")
but I seem to get parse errors unless I do the following:
function archive ($max_size = 20560, $archive_dir = "/var/www/tmp/")
Is it possible to do something approaching the latter?

Try:
function archive ($max_size = 20560, $archive_dir = ${DOCUMENT_ROOT}.'/tmp/')

--- Begin Message ---Hi, all -- Can I compile a regexp as I can in perl? We have various possible values that we want to strip out of a string and we store them in an array so that users can update with their own. To wit: $noadobe = array ( "File written by Adobe Photoshop", "LEAD Technologies Inc." , "more pesky text" , ) ; We want to make it easy on the users, so we're not going to figure any regular expressions belong in there; I'll just use a greedy .* to suck up everything that starts with any of these matches. In my code I can certainly $noadoberegexp = "(" . join("|",$noadobe) . ").*" ; and then $cleanstring = eregi_replace("$noadoberegexp","",$stripstring) ; but 1) I haven't tested this code yet :-) and 2) I wonder if I'll run into long runtimes when we get lots of strings to match.

Yes, I'm STILL a newbie :) I've gotten pretty far in a few days thanks to
you all. I have a new question for you, maybe this is a bit easier than my
last issue.
Still using my text file example, which has lines such as:
0706010102|01.01.02|16:00|Serie C2|02|Forlě|Florentia Viola|
0610010102|01.07.02|16:00|Serie C2|05|Florentia Viola|Gubbio|
1806190702|19.07.02|16:00|Serie C2|05|Savona|Florentia Viola|
I am able to with a form, create a new addition to the file. What I'd like
to do now however, is before writing to the file, check the second field
(the date in this case) and if it is the same as what is being submitted,
then I want to buy using an if...else statement stop it from being written.
What I tried was to create an array called $getdate by exploding the file
that has the text above. Then, I also created a variable called $datetest
which was from the form such as: $datetest = ("$day.$month.$year");
so Now i wanted to compare $getdate[1] to $datetest and if any of the
exploded arrays from $getdate[1] matched up with $getdate, i.e. what is
being submitted from the form, then it would not go to write the file.
I tried it like so:
$fd = fopen ($schedule, "r");
while (!feof ($fd))
{
$currentlines = fgets($fd, 4096);
$getdate = explode("|", $currentlines);
$datetest = ("$day.$month.$year");
if (preg_match ($getdate[1] , $datetest)) {
echo 'date already listed';
} else {
$fp = fopen($schedule, "w");
fwrite($fp,
"$current\n$homename[0]$awayname[0]$day$month$year|$day.$month.$year|$matcht
ime|$competition|$round|$homename[1]|$awayname[1]|");
fclose($fp);
echo 'success';
}
I am not even sure if this is the function i need to use, but if it is, my
syntaxt must be wrong, because I have tried all combinaions and I keep
getting errors.
Any suggestions?
Thanks as always

--- Begin Message ---If you've seen a serialised variable a few times, you get to know how one is set up and how to interpret it. If you're using serialised variables, I'd suggest serialising a few simple ones and see what the output looks like so that you can see when things are going amiss. This is one way that I debug things. Instead of var_dump()ing or print_r()ing something, I'll "echo serialize(...)".

--- Begin Message ---Hello. How do you decrypt a data that's encrypted with crypt($data). Now, the php documents says crypt() is a one-way crypting function, so there is no decrypt() function. I was wondering if someone could shed some light on alternative ways to encrypt & decrypt data. I've looked at mcrypt_generic and mdecrypt_generic, but am confused by the 'resource td' parameter.

Hello everyone,
I am using PHP with Windows XP. I am trying to have a ".exe" program (written and
compiled in C) launched by my PHP script, using either system(), passthru()... That
works great ... as long as I only have one request at a time. When I have two (or more
request) at the same time (coming from different browser sessions), the execution of
the .exe program seems to be aborted for all sessions as soon as it is finished for
one of the sessions. Therefore only the first finishing session gets the good result,
the other sessions keeping waiting for an output that will never come.
The same problem arises if those are different .exe programs that are launched at the
same time, for example program1.exe, program2.exe and program3.exe ; if program1.exe
ends first, program2.exe and program3.exe get aborted ... How come ? How can I avoid
that ?
By advance, thank you for your help and comments ...
Best regards from Belgium,
Jean-Marc

--- Begin Message ---i programmed a metasearchengine with php - it works but it is to slow. does someone know how to do parallel connections to searchengines ? Let s say i have 4 php scripts - each script gets data from a searchengine. I have included those 4 script in my resutl html page (via include..) - but i have the feeling that php includes the first script (which connect to searchengine 1) and after it got all data it includes the second script - gets the data and include then scritp 3..::: Does someone know hot to connect those 4 scripts parallel to the searchengines and not seriell? greetings Jens--- End Message ---

Hi
This is probably a stupid question, but I can't figure it out. I've
been trying to search the PHP site for an answer without luck.
I want to return results in an array from an extension. The array may
or may not be defined. The array may or may not contain values. The
PHP function could be something like
function modarray(&$inoutarray)
{
if (!isset($inoutarray))
{
$inoutarray = array();
}
$inoutarray[] = newval1;
$inoutarray[] = newval2;
}
How do I do that in an extension? I want to adhere to the
recommendation that allow_call_time_pass_reference should be off.
-Ole

Subject: [PHP-DEV] and so... there is a security problem.
Hi list,
i think that you have to return a _s64 per default, cuz for exemple i'm
using some identification coded on _s64 if i jump 21 474 836 47, intval()
will return to me a wrong number (normal) but i _can't_ know if that that
number is a valid _s64 (_s64) and there can have some big security problems
Exemple:
$id = intval($_GET['id']);
$query = "
SELECT
\"proute\"
FORM
\"polom\"
WHERE
id = $id
";
Best regards,
Vergoz Michael
