Well, counting is easy... count($issue) will be correct. If you want
to count things that match only specific elements, use things like:
$c=0;
foreach($issue as $what)
if ( $year==2003 && $month>=5 )
$c++;
As I said in the previous email, to sort by array elements, you'd need
to use array_multisort. Something like...
$sortkey=array();
foreach($issue as $what)
$sortkey[]=$what['number'];
array_multisort($issue,$sortkey);
And for looping, foreach is still your best bet:
foreach($issue as $key => $what) {
if ($what['senttosubscribers']==0)
$issue[$key]['description'].=" (EMPTY)";
else
$issue[$key]['description'].=str_replace(" (EMPTY)","",$what['description']);
}
With regard to PHP being "screwey", I haven't found this -- I use
multidimensional arrays quite a bit and find that they behave exactly as
I would predict. Maybe I'm just lucky. ;-)

By your description, count($issue)/count($issue[]) is the number of
real elements. And a foreach loop will correctly step through whatever
array you pass to it, even if the values of that array are themselves
arrays. Or could you try something like count(array_keys($issue)) ...
or the loop could be as simple as:
$count=0; foreach($issue as $junk) $count++;
which is clear, though to my eye is the same as count();
I'm surprised that count($issue) would report something other than the
number of elements in $issue. I never count my multidimensional arrays
so it's never come up for me. :-/

Is there a way to determine if a string has ascii or binary data in it?
I just wrote this, it seems to work. I've used mhash to generate a
binary string. It will fail if:
a) The strings use obscure ASCII control characters other than LF, CR
and Horizontal Tab.
b) You're expecting strings with european charater's with umlouts and
stuff like that.
You can add these characters to the list of exclusions on line 16 of
this code.
Hope this helps!!!

Well, the reason I didn't do that at first was that I could have done any of
the methods that I've tried incorrectly, which is why I figured I'd ask what
works and then focus on that method... but, I've tried to ping them, use
fopen, and use fsocketopen... but nothing says that I've used any of them
the way I should have :) I also tried to use the scripts that I found at
hotscripts.com but I always seem to get inconsistent results and it must be
accurate.

Investigate the use of file(). It should be the most reliable indicator of
whether or not a link is valid.
Using ping on it's own doesn't really help much. A server may be configured to
ignore ping requests. And even if a server responds to a ping request it
doesn't mean the webserver is up and running.

Okay, I'm confused... file, fopen, and fsockopen seem to say not found on
alot valid URLs... does this look to be correct usage?
$url = $row[0]; // just get the url from the db
$fp = implode ('', file ($url));
if (!$fp) {echo "<font color=red><b>Unable to access file</b></font>"; }
else { fclose($fp); echo "The link is working!"; }
It seems I always get this warning...
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in
/web/home/nrc.net/www/robert/links4.php on line 11
If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it.

Which is line 11?
In the above, if link was valid and returned something then $fp would be a
string containing the HTML source of the $url. If the link was invalid (I'm
not sure what exactly PHP would regard as an invalid link) then PHP would
output a warning/error message (make sure you have error reporting set to an
appropriately high level).
file() implicitly opens and closes the file for you so no need for fclose().

When fopen successfully opens a file it populates an array
$http_response_header, which you can examine to see if the link works or
not - I don't believe you can actually get the file itself, but since
that's not what we're after that's not a problem!
Having said that, fopen produces a very annoying error if it doesn't
find the page, but I found the following works:
<?php
$SQL = "SELECT linkurl, linkID FROM links";
$result = mysql_query($SQL);
while($linkdata = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$fp = fopen($linkdata['linkurl'],"r");
if($fp)
{
echo "<p>".$linkdata['linkurl']." is still valid.</p>";
}else{
echo "<p>".$linkdata['linkurl']." is invalid. Updating
database... ";
$SQL = "UPDATE links SET status = 0 WHERE linkID =
'".$linkdata['linkID']."'";
$result2 = mysql_query($SQL);
if($result2)
{
echo "Database updated</p>";
}
}
}
?>
Rather than deleting the link, it's probably better to set a flag to
show it was invalid last time you checked, but check it again next time.
Or you could keep a count of the number of failed attempts, and delete
if it goes beyond 3 or so.
Not sure how to supress the warning message that PHP automatically does
when you haven't got a valid URL though.
Hope this works for you!

I think you have assigned $fp to be the imploded string, not a file
pointer. Thus fclose($fp) would generate an error. Given this, I'm not
sure what "if (!$fp)" would mean.

Thanks for the help and suggestions everybody!
I think some of my problems stemmed from the affiliate links being
redirected and PHP saw that as dead(so to speak)... but I think I got it
now. I made another column in the database to note a redirection for ones
that the url fails but the $url[host] passes.

There is a php code from Internet, it is enable Quota function with wu-imap
server, but I can't run it into my server ( Linux Redhat system ) like
http://www.ita.org.mo/~edward/imp/screenshot.gif...
if (!function_exists('imp_show_quota')) {
function imp_show_quota ($imp) {
$imap_admin = $imp['user'];
$passwd_array = posix_getpwnam($imap_admin);
$homedir = split("/", $passwd_array['dir']);
$realname = split(",", $passwd_array['gecos']);
$quota_html = '<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="item"><table border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0" width="100%"><tr>';
$quota_html .= '<td align="left" class="header">Login: ' .
$realname[0] . " (" . $imap_admin . ")" . '</td>';
$junk = exec("sudo quota -u $imap_admin | grep $homedir[1]",
$quota_data,$return_code);
if ($return_code == 0 && count($quota_data) == 1) {
$splitted = split("[[:blank:]]+", trim($quota_data[0]));
$taken = $splitted[1] / 1000 ; $total = $splitted[2] / 1000 ;
$percent = $taken * 100 / $total ;
if ($percent >= 90) {
$class = 'quotaalert';
} elseif ($percent >= 80) {
$class = 'quotawarn';
} else {
$class = 'header';
}
$quota_html .= '<td align="right" class="' . $class . '">';
$quota_html .= sprintf("Quota on /%s: %.1fMB/%.1fMB (%.1f%%)",
$homedir[1], $taken, $total, $percent);
} else {
$quota_html .= '<td align="right" class="header">';
$quota_html .= "Quota not available";
}
$quota_html .= '</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>';

You could write a custom interface to _generate_ the file (MIDI is _very_
different than the other two types; are you sure you understand exactly what
you intend to do?), but where is the input coming from to begin with? The
currently available tools to make audio files are already pretty
sophisticated, and trying to replicate them in PHP would probably not be the
best use of your time.
Sending the files doesn't require any changes to anything. Just create an
ANCHOR link to the file and it'll be sent on its merry way when the user
clicks on the link.

It seems as though you have not added the AddType line for php in
httpd.conf and restarted Apache. If your file is test.php then the
".php" must be part of the AddType line.

Hmm. I take it the file you are trying to get at (via http:// as Phil

Is the httpd.conf you are editing the one being looked at by apache? To

I know it is something simple, which is why i cannot se it!
There should only be one. I suggest you put some rubbish into one and
restart apache. If it does not complain then it is not the one apache is
looking at.
If you have php compiled as a DSO then you will also need the LoadModule
line.

treat me a a total novice, i only started reading the book yesterday so i am
not sure of the jargon yet.
Also compiled as a DSO?
Hmm.. not typed LoadModule...
but the book which is PHP & MySQL for dummies BTW, whcih is about right,
says nothing about that.

There's your problem.
Assuming you haven't messed about too much with the apache config, your php
file needs to live inside apache's htdocs directory. Can't remember exactly
where that would be on a windows box - something like c:/program files/apache
group/apache/htdocs maybe.

Yes, anything. If apache does not understand it then it will not start
up. Don't put a hash at the beginning of your rubbish line as hash means
a comment. Know what you have entered so that you can remove it afterwards.
Also compiled as a DSO?
Hmm.. not typed LoadModule...
There are three ways to compile php. One is as part of Apache itself,
this is best if most of what the webserer does is php. Then there is a
DSO (dynamic shared object), this is basically what Windows calls a
dynamically linked library (.dll). It only gets called into memory if
needed. This is best if most of what the webserver does is not php. Then
there is php as a stand-alone executable (php.exe).
In order to configure httpd.conf you will need to know which you have.
I've no experience of running php under Windows (only linux) but it
seems most of the installations available are pre-compiled and easy to
install. There should be instructions with your installation telling you
how php is configured.
Running "httpd -l" from the command prompt (I assume this works in
windows as well as linux), will show you what modules are compiled into
apache. If "mod_php4" comes up then php is compiled into apache and you
do not need the LoadModule line. If "mod_php4" is not shown but "mod_so"
is then php may be an Apache module (DSO) or stand alone (sometimes
called CLI or CGI). "mod_so" is the module that facilitates dynamic
modules so that it is essential for any modules to work.
I think you need to refer to the instructions for your installation for
this, not a book.
but the book which is PHP & MySQL for dummies BTW, whcih is about right,
says nothing about that.
I have not seen this book. It may simply assume an installation is
already available and leave out installing it. Many books were written
when register_globals was "on" by default, now it is "off" for security
reasons. If, when you come to do code, you do not get variables passed
from one page to another then either turn it back on (in php.ini) or
(better) use the super-globals $_GET['var'} and $_POST['var'], but that
is getting ahead, let's get your installation working first...

Yes, Phil has it. I'd assumed this, I should not have. The directory is
given by the "DocumentRoot" line in httpd.conf. You did not say exectly
what error you were getting, I'd assumed that you were just seeing the
source of your file and that the only problem was php not parsing it.
Presumably you were getting "Document not found" errors?

I am using this line:
if (!mail($to, $subject, $body, "From: " . $from . ";" . header("Content-type " .
$contentType))) {..}
to use the mail() function in PHP to send simple text/plain or text/html email.
However, upon attempting to send I get a warning message indicating that header
information has already been set prior to emailing.
Is there a way to overwrite only certain header information prior to emailing to
ensure the content-type of the email being either text/plain or text/html?
Just wondering

That error is saying that you have a header() call on line 104 that I don't
think should be there(The header command is not used with mail)....if it
should you'll have to look at output buffering.

Dumb question here but whats the general practice regarding putting a
"website last updated:" entry on a web page? Does the web master manually
enter in today's date in a database table entry and let PHP display. Is it
statically added to the HTML page? Etc...

I've just implimented that very thing in my site! Very simple. I have a
MySQL table that features master site details, including the stylesheet,
site title, that sort of thing. One column is a Datetime type.
In all the admin pages that add anything new to the site, the last
update time is updated using:
<?php
$SQL = "UPDATE site SET LastUpdate='".date("Y-m-d G:i:s")."' WHERE
SiteID=1";
$result = mysql_query($SQL);
?>
Then, in the site's standard footer I have the following:
<p class="scribbles">Last Updated:
<?php
$timestamp = strtotime($sitedata["LastUpdate"]);
echo date("G:i, D \T\h\e jS of M, Y ",$timestamp);
?>
</p>
This then shows the last update time on the browser, and I also set the
page to expire at that time, so in that way (I understand) browsers know
if the page has been updated since you last looked.

If you want "website last updated" then from a database sounds OK but
where I'm working its commonly a "page last updated" wanted. In this
case its just a manually entered date in html in the page.

Hello,
Working in php, the problem is how to create a window with some optional
text in it and get true or false in return. A confirmation window.
Example in javascript:
function formSubmit() {
window.event.returnValue = false;
if (confirm("Er du sikker på at du vil slette boenheten?"))
window.event.returnValue = true;
}
regards
lars
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
If you are wanting to do it on the client side you will need to do it in
javascript, not in PHP.
If you just want to make a confirmation screen in PHP you just present
an intermediate screen between the requested action and completing that
action.
An example would be:
1. Administrator clicks delete user link that is a GET query string
2. PHP application creates a page with 2 links or form buttons, Yes or
No
3. PHP application takes action as a result of the choice taken for
example <a href="admin.php?action=deluser&userid=1&confirm=t">Yes</a> <a
href="admin.php?action=deluser&userid=1&confirm=f">No</a>

you need to upgrade the bundled cURL to version 7.9.8 (soon to be

Hello,
I'm playing with a portal system now and I need to edit a module to redirect
to another site/page. I have done this with a header() redirection, but it
takes the current window.
How can I do this and have it open a new window for the redirect?
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Look at javascript, you could use javascript to both open a new window
and set the location or you could use javascript to open the new window
to a PHP script that uses header() to forward the user.
Be aware that some users disable javascript completely or just disable
new windows to avoid popups and pop under advertising.

That easy solution is not so easy for me. This portal system is PHP-Nuke.
There's different themes, pages, etc. It would take me 3 weeks to find and
edit all the links in a 2000 file directory.
I just need to be able to do this from the called module itself, and that
would take care of all the pages/themes in one shot.

Hmm, what's the problem then?
Functions take any valid expressions as arguments. If list_writings() returns
a valid expression then you should have no problems at all.

For reference, see http://autocracy.homelinux.org/template.php and
http://autocracy.homelinux.org/error.php
template.php is the proper layout, and uses the same code as
error.php, with the exception that "LEFT SIDE TEXT" has been replaced with
'list_writings(poetry)'. Note that the output from that function occurs where
it was placed within the code, not where it was called to...
Basically, instead of the output from list_writings(poetry) being passed to
the function, it simply executes.

Unless you have a good reason to do otherwise please post your code here.

1) Do you really mean list_writings(poetry), or did you in fact mean
list_writings($poetry)?

2) How did you conclude that? Did you check that
list_writings(poetry)/list_writings($poetry) gives the correct result? IE
echo list_writings(poetry)/list_writings($poetry) ?

To get an array full of the file names you want:
$interestingFiles = array();
$dir = opendir( "/path/to/directory" ) or die( "Could not open dir" );
while( $dirEntry = readdir( $dir ) ){
if( ereg( "full", $dirEntry) ){
array_push( $interestingFiles, $dirEntry );
}
}
I'll leave it up to you to sort $interestingFiles by the date in the
element values, since I don't recognize a date in your file-naming
convention.

Thanks a lot Chris that was a great help.
The date is in the last part of the filename. In the example I have
posted below:
Ministry is the name of the club.
Full is the type of the content.
6122002 is the date - It is in the form ddmmyyyy so the example here is
6th December 2002.
Is there a simple way I can just grab the date and sort it by order?
Should I change the format of the date to make it easier or something?

Date format is best set as YYYY-MM-DD, but most importantly having

I am trying to compile PHP 4.3RC2 and enable the domxml
library but when I compile PHP it doesn't seem to work?
./configure --with-xml --with-domxml
Any ideas?
