The following script is from Kevin Yank's book on page 59-60. (Sitepoint)
I'd like to get some clarification about the line: (almost next to last line
in the script)
...................
echo("<p><a href='$PHP_SELF?addjoke=1'>Add a Joke!</a></p>");
................
He has a link called "Add a Joke!".
When the user clicks on the link, the same page loads - with the form this
time - and the query string passes the value -1 - to the variable $addjoke.
Am I on the right track?
If so, why does 1 - as opposed to 2 or something else - have to be the
name/value pair if the user is adding another joke?
Thank you.

You've got it right... look at the man page for parse_str() for more info
on the QUERY_STRING stuff as well as the register_globals configuration
option.
Looking at the script below, there is nothing special about setting
$addjoke to 1. It's just important that it is set to *something* (because
of the isset($addjoke) call. You could set it to whatever you want, but
setting it to 1 is commonly done to indicate "trueness" or "it's on".
You could set it to "yes" if you wanted and the script would work the
same.
Hope this helps.

Although you don't show it in your snippet of code, the script in question
starts with:
if (isset($addjoke)): // If the user wants to add a joke
So all he's doing is setting the variable $addjoke. It could have been set
to 2 or something else, although 1 kind of makes more sense because it's
associated with "true" (as 0 is associated with "false").

AFAIK, PHP "skips" over anything out side the <? and ?>... so yes,
technically, it would be a little faster.
End of the day, such a small gain could probably be made up elsewhere by
optimising a function you use on every page, or something else like that.
It's been said on the list many times before: Just do whicher you're more
comfortable with, and whichever makes it easier for you to read/write/modify
the code.
I tend to run major blocks of straight HTML outside of php, and little bits
inside PHP using echo.

is PHP configured with --with-mysql ?
Hi there, my name is Cesar Rodriguez and I am trying to upgrade from
Caldera
Linux Server 2.3 into RedHat Server 8.0. The problem I encounter is that
after testing different scripts, php is working, except when I make an
MySQL
call like mysql_connect() or mysql_pconnect().
The call is as follows:
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user1', 'passwd')
or exit();
mysql_select_db ('mydb')
or exit ();
$result = mysql_query ('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM clients')
or exit ();
if ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result))
..... etc ......
The message I get is:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in
var/www/html/lesson/firsta.php"
Seems that PHP4 does not find the MySQL library. I checked php.ini and
httpd.conf files and everything is in its place apparently. I re-installed
everything from scratch with no positive result. I would appreciate advice
on this issue.
Thanks
Cesar Rodriguez

Install the php-mysql rpm, restart apache, and they will
now exist. (assuming you already installed the mysql rpm)
In short, there are three rpms: php, mysql, and php-mysql.

Hi,
A PHP page (main.php) loads another page (doit.php) via a form. doit.php gets the data
via $_POST.
Now, from a third page (other.php), I need to load doit.php with other data, but
automatically, without a form.
How can I redirect to doit.php and send POST data at the same time ? (as if a form was
filled)
I tried the fsockopen method, described at e.g.
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/12039/fid/51, but it doesn't
redirect to a page, it just gets its output. It need something like header("Location:
doit.php") with POST data.
doit.php can't be modified. I can't use javascript.
What is the canonical way to do this in PHP ?

Hi,
I think this has been asked here before and I've looked around the archive but
didn't find anything. So I ask again.
Does anyone know if there's a utility/script/program in php that will allow
one to parse and/or import iCAL calendar format to database, such as mySQL or
PostGreSQL?
Thanks for any info.

No kidding. And the very thought that apple in its "intrusion" into
the world of UNIX hasn't made a group open-SQL-database-driven web-accessible
iCal is kind of unreal. At least make it filemaker pro driven. :-)

Doesn't iCal use the vCalendar vCal format? Kind of like vCards, but to
deal with Calendar information.. it should be easy to write something that
will parse that..
Cheers!

require register globals to be On in the php.ini. Ofcourse i know
thats not a good idea at all for security, but rewriting all this code
is not an option. However in my php.ini i have set register globals to
Off because that better. Is it possible to configure my webserver/php
so that only those sites that require register globals to be On have
that setting, for instance in a .htacces file?? Any help is
appreciated:-)

Perhaps it wasn't too clear. Use 0/1 rather than off/on.

I think your regex needs to look like this (from the manual):
$data_str = eregi_replace ("\[([[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/])\]", "<a
href=\"\\1\">\\1</a>", $data_str);
The reason you were getting the wrong link was the href= was wrong so the
browser just used the page address as the href.

Using a PHP encoder or compiling a binary does not make it more secure
than storing the IV and encryption key in plain text in a PHP script.
The problem is the fact that the encryption cipher requires the same key
for encryption and decryption, this is not a problem in many encryption
cases but in cases where you want to be able to encrypt but not decrypt
the information on the server public key encryption is the better
solution, which unfortunately mcrypt does not support.
Using a compiled/encoded program is just security through obscurity
which is an illusion and definitely not something you want to do with
credit card numbers.

What in the world are you talking about? Might I suggest:
1. Don't try to assume you know what the problem is unless
you do. Just explain what is wrong. It is just confusing
otherwise.
2. Ask MySQL questions on MySQL mailing lists.

Well the warning seems quite explicit -- it couldn't find a certain file. Did
you check to see that there is such a file? If the file is there then try
using the full path to the file instead of a relative path.

Greetings,
I am having trouble with the following code. I am trying to make a table in
plain text to send via email. I get the data frm a MYSQL table and then put
it into an array. I find the max strlen and subtract each individual
customer name strlen from that and add that many spaces. Such that if Max
was 10 and a particular one was 3 it would add 7 spaces. It works fine most
of the time but my customer fwd me an email where it wasnt.
Can someone suggest a better way? I wonder if I have the cart in front of
my horse but Im not sure of any better way.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Leonard.

$data[$z][strlen]=strlen($cust);
//Get longest customer string
if ($data[$z][strlen] > $data[1][$z-1][strlen])
{
$maxstrlen=strlen($cust);
}
$data[$z][date]=the_big_date($row["date"], "/");

Hi,
I have a news site where i want to track how many "visits" or reads each
individual news has. I have a main list with all the titles, then clicking
on them shows the details of the specific news, only then the counter for
that particular news is increased. The problem is, if the user does a
refresh while at the details, the counter is increased again. How can i
prevent this from happening?
I thought it would be something like a unique counter problem, but its
like having a "counter problem" for each news i have. :-P
What would be nice, if it exists, is to check if the user is doing a
refresh or coming from somewhere else. If its a refresh, the counter would
simply not increase. That would be sufficient to keep the
i-want-my-news-to-have-the-higher-number-of-visitors author, from having
his way.
Thanks.

Not really that simple.
You can't use the HTTP_REFERER, because it's not set when the user refreshes
(at least on my browser, so at best it will be unreliable).
Common ways to prevent such things happening (like voting for a pic or song
or poll more than once) are usually done with either:
1. logging IP address', and ignoring two votes within a reasonable period of
time from the same address -- this has a high overhead of data, and isn't
failsafe, because IP address' are notoriously unreliable.
2. dropping a cookie onto the users computer, basically saying "read this
one", so that the vote is only counted if the cookie isn't there...
obviously users can choose to block cookies, or delete them, so this isn't
reliable either
3. sessions... if you maintain a site-wide session with each of your users
(done with either a session id in the url, or with a cookie), you can keep
track of which news items have been read on the server side with session
variables. again, this isn't 100% reliable, because the user could delete
the session cookie or delete the session # from the URL (both making the
user appear as a new user)
And that's about it.
So, you've got a choice of three options, none of which are bullet proof at
all. I personally like the session one (because all the user knows is that
they're in a session, not that each news read is being logged), but you have
to understand that you will not get it perfect, ever.
I could write a PHP script, or even a client-side apple script or schedule
which access' your URL every 5 mins... no cookies, no sessions, no nothin',
and i'd get huge numbers :)
If I was trying for the best possible outcome, I think I'd log an IP
address, timestamp and user agent string (even if it's null), but rely on
sessions first... Needless to say though if your news is being read a lot,
you'll have a lot of data to store, clean out, etc.

a real simple thing i do is to increment the counter
then use header() to redirect to same page with a variable added.
so at the top of details.php i put..
if(!$_GET['no_count']){
...increment counter
header("location:...details.php?no_count=on");
exit;
}
of course people can always just manually edit the url in the address bar
in which case you could probly use http_referer to check.
for my purposes most of the visitors won't edit the url so it's not too
important.

I was wondering, can you call a php script in the middle of a html page?
I've seen some sites use code like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
HELLO WORLD!!!
<P>
<!--#include file="helloworld2.php" -->
</body>
</html>
but when I try it, the php script doesn't run.
Does anyone else know how to use php on a page and yet keep the .html
extension?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

I think what you've seen is shtml / ssi / server side includes, but anyway,
since you asked:
1. create a .htaccess file which pushes *all* .php pages through PHP
I *THINK* the code is something like:
<Files ~ "\.html$">
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
But you should check the apache manual, list or some tutorials.
2. change your code to:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
HELLO WORLD!!!
<P>
<?php include("helloworld2.php"); ?>
</body>
</html>
Why can't you just use the .php extension?

Hey everyone. I'm wondering if someone could lead me in the right direction
on this one. What could I use to see if a site has been updated and then
display what has been added to it?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.

If you are talking about a remote (out of your control) website then you
will need to compare HTML areas but
this could be a very hard process unless it is template/cms driven with
comments in the html source etc.
I would suggest you maybe tell us what website so we can see what the
source looks like.
Are you trying to pull out content bits or just show the areas inside of
your website??

On a major level, create or use a large CMS (content management system), and
use the information you have in the databases / file system to establish
what's new, modified, etc.
On a smaller level, you could check which files have been updated in X days
(I think) with PHP, and display them as a list, which some selective
listing.
On a pain-in-the-ass level, you could maintain a HTML page with links on it
to things you've recently updated, and maintain it manually.
If you're talking about *another site* (not yours), it would be even harder.

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to create a Logout Function and Link. My site uses a standard
htaccess file for its authentication method. After the brower requests the
username and password they have access to the protected site.
Then users can jump to a special Messaging section where I wrote a php
script that retieves the $REMOTE_USER value and checks it against a message
database.
My problem is that I'd like to have a logout link that will dump the values
the user had entered for their username and password so that they can no
longer access the messages, neither with a back button nor just by going
back to the site url. But since I am retrieving the $REMOTE_USER value
using PHP4, it seems some how it remebers the username and password. Is
that because I need to destroy the session and remove or replace the session
cookies? I do not know what the session name is, nor how to check it.
Here is what I have tried so far:
function logout() {
session_start();
session_destroy();
setcookie("SES_NAME","","","/");
header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com";);
exit;
}
My results were that everytime I click the logout link, I can just press
back on the browser and go back where I was and continue using the Messaging
application.
Thank you for any help you might provide...

Yes, that's because after HTTP authentication, each time the browser requests
a page it'll send the user and password as well.

HTTP authentication are not related to sessions.
Have a look in the manual > HTTP authentication with PHP

try to escape blanks and quotes:
rename("/tmp/foo\ \'n bar", "/tmp/foobar");
generally you should escape all non-ascii characters in file names.

This is a test script I used as a test (below) and got these errors. (below
the script)
The script:
<?php
#start variables
$name = ab;
$age = 16;
#start script
echo "Hi, my name is $name and I'am $age years old.";
?>
The Error:
Notice: Use of undefined constant ab - assumed 'ab' in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\sdd\pages\name&age.php on line 3
Hi, my name is ab and I'am 16 years old.
How do I fix this.

hi
we try to migrate our intranet from asp to php the last problem is our
indexserver.
we are using the ado functions of php to make a connection and a query on
the indexserver but the recordset is empty
code:
$objQuery = new COM("ixsso.Query")or die("Cannot start Query");
$objutil = new COM("IXSSO.util")or die("Cannot start Util");
$rsQuery = new COM("ADODB.recordset") or die("Cannot start Recordset");
$objutil->addscopetoquery ($objQuery,"/","deep");
$querystring = "#filename *.pdf";
print "$querystring";
$objQuery->catalog ="catalogname";
$objQuery->query = "$querystring";
$objQuery->SortBy = "filename";
$objQuery->columns = ("filename,docsubject, doctitle, docauthor, doccompany,
doccategory, dockeywords, doccomments, characterization, vpath,");
$rsQuery = $objQuery->CreateRecordset("nonsequential");
