For those who kindly replied to my web-mail (which is not working right now)
here is the code requested.
After checking the submit variable is set we do this:
$the_data = add_microsoft_escapes(fread(fopen($data_blob,"rb"),
filesize($data_blob)));
$data_blob always reports "none"
The form encode type statement:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form" action='<? echo
$PHP_SELF ?>' method="post"
onSubmit="javascript:
return (checkForm(this));">
checkForm just ensures that required fields are indeed filled.
The input field:
<td><input type="file" onchange="javascript:isChanged=true;"
name="data_blob" size=15></td>

Why would you need too???
Try the SMTP routines in PHP-PEAR, they work very good, and are a heck of alot
easier to use.

Ok I have a hoster for my site that has it where I can use phpmyadmin to
create a db. Is this a solid way to make a db? I am trying to do an online
db for resumes and searching for employers. I heard several different things
about this, that it is hard to do and not stable. I have tried to start one
but having no luck at all. I need some start up help on this please. I
appreciate all the help, thanks.

Ok
usually the hoster gives you access to create certain numbers of DB, usually
it's only one DB but unlimited Tables
With phpMyAdmin isn't hard at all, in fact it's pretty simple, because it's
a web page

phpMyAdmin is an easy to use, web based administration tool for MySQL. I use
it religiously and would highly recommend it for beginner to advanced level.
It lets you create db's, tables and work with data etc. What I really liked
at the beginning was how it shows you the sql statements each time you do
somthing so your learning while you work.
As far as getting help, let people know where your stuck, if your host has
it installed or if you have to do it yourself etc.
So ya go for it, its one of the easiest tools i've used.
Steve.

In my local network i use MySQL-Front as a gui to create and test
stuff... It is like SQL Server enterprise manager (ie. a gui application
that lets you do most of the stuff with the database server) and has
user management integrated.
There are nice things that i like in MySQL-Front, like designing a table
and then go to the data grid, add a record and copy/past the sql command
to my script language of the moment to build quickly a front-end for
that data... no need to remember all those field names and retype
everything... (it will rock when the next version of mysql hits the
street... :-) )
On the other hand, the export/import capabilities are compatible with
phpMyAdmin which complement very well the tools to make the transition
from development to production environments...
Cheers...

I'm trying to run a simple script that pings and address and outputs the
results using the system() function. The script runs without any errors but
there is no output. In searching the PHP site I found references to a bug
back in 2000 and conflicting answers about whether or not it works in the
current version unders Windows.

Well, as a starting point, for Outlook, look at COM,
i've used it to control Excel in the past.
As for credit checking agencies, i have no idea what type of
interface you're dealing with, so i can't really suggest anything.
good luck, though... sounds like a fun project :)

look at your quotes... you have a " inside of your echo statement,
which royally messes up what you'd expect echo to output.
and from a style POV, you might want to put "{}" around your vars,
for example "more{$i}.php". it will make your vars stick out a bit
more and prevent accidental mis-interpretation (if you use
"$imore.php", it would not use "$i"'s value but "$imore")

Is there a quick way to add all of the vars in the $_POST[] array to the
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[]?
I suppose a loop would do the trick.

array_merge() might work, too.

(untested, since i don't use PHP's native sessions -- i wrote my own
wrapper) but this should work:
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['post'] = $_POST;
or
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['request'] = $_REQUEST;
if you're trying to get all the POST vars as "first-level" keys of
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS, it doesn't seem like the best thing
in the world (i would keep them separate). array_merge()
will probably do what you want... or a simple loop:
while (list($k,$v) = each($_POST))
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$k] = $v;

hi all
A small bit of php code below will pull an image from a database. My problem
is if the image is large (300 x 200) then it does not get displayed in IE.
smaller images do. It also works properly in Opera, and nutscrape for all
sizes. Any thoughts ?
==========8<=============================================================
@mssql_connect(Server,User,PWord) or die ("Could not connect");
$ExcQry="

where
ItemId = $SItemId";
$result = @mssql_query($ExcQry) or die ("The Query <hr><pre>".$ExcQry.
"</pre><hr>"."Gave this error<hr><br>".mssql_get_last_message ());
list($structurepng)=mssql_fetch_row($result);
header("content-type: image/x-png");
print $structurepng ;
flush() ;

DataType of image (on MSSQL 2000). As I said it works for Opera & Nutscrape,
the image can also be pulled out properly by Crystal Reports.

Sorry, I read it, just didn't register before I wrote the email. ;-)
In that case, just use Mozilla or Opera. ;-) jk...
Joking aside:
What version of IE? Can you send an image file directly from your file system
to IE and have the image rendered properly? I.E. Have an image file on the c
drive, and use readfile to pass the file to the system.

I think that IE chokes when you don't give it more header information. You
may have to give it a Content-Disposition: "filename.png" as well in the
header command.

Good luck.

Oops. It looks like it has to be "inline". See this comment on PHP.net:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
23-May-2002 05:34
For inline images (JPEG for example):
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=file.jpg);
For attachments (Adobe PDF for example):
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file.pdf);
NOTE: In Internet Explorer, the Content-Disposition header is important,
otherwise it will be inline. 'Content-Disposition: attachment' will ALWAYS
make IE download it.
NOTE: In Netscape, if you want to force it to be a download (i.e. not
inline), use header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream').
Netscape doesn't appear to care about the Content-Disposition header apart
from when it's in an email message, then the header controls behaviour as
expected.
It's best to be specific about the file you're sending. Don't rely on the
interpretation of the browsers in the face of missing or default headers.
Content-Length is good to set for downloads, since it will allow the
browser to show a progress meter. It has to be accurate otherwise the
browser will stall in downloading.

Yes (At least I think so, I am about to retire for the night I will have a
go in the morning)

This could be the key I will have a go tomorrow. ( Now all I have to do is
work out how to send the length)

First of all, sorry for the additional cross post. MeetUp.com lacks the
ability to let you contact other folks who have signed up. In my general
area, Massachusetts, there are a bunch of tiny groups scattered about,
and I'd like a chance to get all of them to converge in one place to
make the meetup worth it for all of us. I know there's only a few days
before the meetup is to take place, but if folks from the following
areas could email me, then we can try and work out somewhere we can all
meet, instead of there being 5 groups of 2 or 3 people.
Boston, Ma
Hyannis, Ma
North Boston Suburbs
Springfield, Ma
Manchester, NH
(heck, even people in RI and CT who don't mind driving)
Meetup.com cancels meetups for groups less than 5 also, so I'd like to
see if we can just get one or two big groups.
Also, anyone else in this area... I've been looking for user groups in
the Massachusetts area, and the only one that did exist, was PHPUG New
England, which doesn't seem to exist anymore. Anyone interested in
getting one going around here?
Again, sorry for the cross post.

Fellow PHPers,
We've been working on various dynamic PDF generation things and now, we want to take
things step further and place form fields in the PDF dynamically. Does anyone know if
we can actually do this? I know that once a PDF is created with form fields (such as
with Acrobat), we can populate those fields via the FDF forms and the FDF toolkit
available through PHP.
I've search the list, and as far as I can tell, and it's hard to believe, no one has
really even asked the question.
Anyway, if it's possible, could someone let me know.
Thanks,
-Flint

Eh?? Well first off I wouldn't be using php to do it... I'd use a language
such as C++ or VB to do it, given you're probably wanting to communicate
with a serial/parallel/usb port to drive the reader and extract the
(probably) binary data from a card swipe, I don't know how well (if at all)
PHP would do this. Then you just parse it using either a pattern matching
(Perl-like?) parser if it's a complicated pattern, or a simpler bit by bit
analysis if it's something simple (such as an ID number). Then insert the
data to whatever DB you like. Don't know the in's and out's of DB access
from C++ etc but I'd imagine there will be a dll or something that already
takes the hard work out of this.
Sorry if this is a bit vague, but it matches the question! :) All I'm
saying is, choose a programming language that is more suited to this. Are
you trying to secure a website with a card swipe or something?... That
would likely involve the PHP script running at the same time as the card
swipe happening. And having the card swipe attached to the web-server.
More details are really needed.

Anybody point me in the direction of a good tutorial or book on installing
Linux on a Win2k machine as a dual boot system.
Thanks in advance,
