RTFM would fix this in 2 minutes but trying to avoid work.
First off, make that <form><div>....</div></form> ... <form> is not a block
element and you can't place <input>'s in it ... eg <form><input/></form> ...
you can but its a) illegal b) bad form. But I digress. All your form
variables are in the enviromental arrays $_POST and $_GET .... try <?php
echo $_GET['guest_name']?>

ahm, which version of php you're using?
from version 4.2.3 the get and post requests changed because of a security
problem. now you have to access the post and get variables with
$HTTP_GET_VARS[] or
the short $_GET[] or for post variables $HTTP_POST_VARS[] or the same in
short $_POST[].
i think that would be the problem...
an other advice could be: go into your php.ini and set "register_globals"
on. ... but it isn't recommend...
i hope i could help you!? :)
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Yeah sure - there is a setting called 'register_globals' which is available
to acquire variables from post or get vars but its off by default for
security reasons. You can set this to On in php.ini file
The better way though is to explicitly state where you want to acquire user
iinput : in your case it would be
$HTTP_GET_VARS['guest_name'] or $_GET['guest_name'] depending on the
version of PHP you run. Form values sent using POST rather than GET are
exactly the same, use $HTTP_POST_VARS or $_POST to access the array of
variables. GET and POST variables are arrays. Theres also
$HTTP_POST_FILES[] which is populated when you use a file upload field in
your form.
You will need to read the manual more for posting files, there are a few
gotchas.
Good luck
Neil Smith.

Hi,
I am having a major problem getting set_time_limit() to work at all
with PHP 4.2.3 running as a CGI program under IIS. I have a script
that accepts large files for upload, with the following lines at the
top of the script:
<?php
// let this script take as long as it needs to complete its work
// and ignore if user hits stops button in his browser
set_time_limit(0);
ignore_user_abort(true);
// include site-wide configs and other include files
require_once('../includes/site.php');
...
If the file upload takes longer than 30 seconds, PHP bombs out with the
following error:
"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in
D:\InetPub\test.php on line 3"
I've also tried adding:
ini_set('max_execution_time', 60000);
before the set_time_limit() function, but to no avail. PHP is not
running in safe mode. Does anyone have any ideas why this is not
working as expected? I'm sure it's something obvious, but I don't know
what it is.
Thanks in advance,
-f

Hi Michael,
Unfortunately, that is not the case. The site is using custom-built
code and functions from the PEAR repository, and this is the only
occurrence of a set_time_limit() function call. :( I don't think PEAR
uses set_time_limit() anywhere either, but I'll do a grep for that and
see what turns up...

Check over site.php - follow the code path exactly and I'm sure you'll
find
one.

arrays are not a datatype for MySQL.
You have to serialize your array into a string. You must choose a suitable
delimitor that will not conflict with your data. Taking as an example ",":
$to_feed = implode( "," , my_array ) ;
$query = " update user_table set categories in '({$to_feed})' where
userid='1' " ;

You have an excellent function index in the MySQL manual. I would recommend
to reading it thoroughly.

I installed php, mysql and phpbb on my web site. The bbs is great and a
wonderful way to communicate with clients and family.
However, there is an area on my web that I have password protected earlier
with a MS Access database. Now I have two databases to maintain and two
areas that I have to set up users. Though relatively easy to do, it is a
duplication of effort.
What I think that I would like to do is use one or the other for both
functions. Since the BBS is working so well in the PHP world, I am leaning
towards MySQL as the preferred database of choice.
My question is this.
How do I access the mysql database from a web page that is not going to go
into the bbs?
I would also like to allow a user to update his/her own profile. Maybe even
change their own password on occasion if they would like.
Anyone help?

UPDATE
Well, I've got it working now, KINDA. Here's the problem, when I call the
script the first time, it runs fine and displays the map properly. BUT, if
I call the script again, it won't run. If I wait for the $objMapSvr object
to timeout, it will run again, or if I stop and start the Map Service it
will run again.
Any information or suggestions? I'm wondering if there is a problem since
the $objMapSvr object is made from the $objMapSvrMngr object? Can I make a
COM object from a COM object? (Or for that matter, SHOULD I?)
Thanks,
John

Sorry, you already stated that in your first email.
What user is IIS running as? You need to set it to a user of the system, the
system user will not work. Also, you may need to look into the DCOM config
settings to make sure all users have access to COM on the system.
Most of my problems with COM have been Security related. Even if I think there
is no way they can be security related, it turns out they were. So check,
recheck and double check.
Have fun...

We faced this problem, and decided if we couldn't get a good solution to
eliminate the printer. Turns out the users liked it better, and we
eliminated a lot of paper.
- First we wrote a report writer.
- All reports go to the database.
- We wrote a report file system.
- The report output title shows up in the user report file system in the
IN BASKET.
- The user can click the file and it displays the first 5 pages to the
screen. They can change the start page and number of pages.
- The user can file it into other files like WEEKLY REPORTS.
- They can send the report to others and it shows up in their IN BASKET.
- If they delete the report it sits in the WASTE BASKET file for 10
days. This gives them the ability to file it back somewhere if it was
deleted by mistake.
This is fast because the reports are run on the server. Only one copy of
the report is kept in the database, and the user report file system
points to it.
Anyway this was our solution and the users love it since they no longer
have to file paper, but file reports electronically. They can carbon
copy anyone. They can look at any section of the report any time. They
can still print the report if they want by using the print button.
HTH... Have a great day... Dan

of showing on the screen or both ...
to gain more control on what is printed, because of the nasty browsers
header and footer ... whom i now how to remove ...
i know that the printer IP is 192.192.1.100 and the port is 9005 ...
