I am pulling my hair out here...and I'm thinking someone might be able to
help me. My situation is that I have a series of dynamic form elements
that are created on a previous page and now on the process page I am
trying to cylce through them...but I can't seem to build the string I need
to extract the values. The part of the script that is causing me problems
is:
for($i=0;$i<$_POST['numberOfAmendments'];$i++)
{
$amendmentNumber = $_POST['amendmentID_$i'];
}
The $_POST['amendment_ID_
was created in a loop so I am using a loop to try to get at it's
value...but PHP isn't allowing me to use the $i in conjunction with the
$_POST array to build the string to get at the value.
Can anyone help me construct the string to get at the array value?
Thanks in advance!

Syntax error. Try instead
$amendmentNumber = $_POST['amendmentID_'.$i];

You either have to use double quotes to get $i parsed like this:
$amendmentNumber = $_POST["amendmentID_$i"]; or you can use single
quotes but you have to use $i as variable and not as part of a string
like this: $amendmentNumber = $_POST['amendmentID_'.$i];
Cheers,

Replace your single quotes with double quotes. Variable substitution is
not performed on single-quoted strings.

Ron,
What I do is this:
Firstly, $howmany is passed as a final loopcounter from the form.
for ($index = 1; $index < $howmany; $index++){
$varname = 'varname'.$index;
$varname = $_POST[$varname];
//repeat process for $vars and do something
}
It works for me.

Hi,
may I assume you want to automatically feed the otherwise human answers to
the dialog presented by the search engine/catalog ?
This is possible but at least a little tedious. First you shold make sure that there
positively isn't any HTTP RPC (no misspelling, I mean remote proc call) access to
the engine; this would be much easier (google e.g. has one with its google API
and asking others may show up some enlightening results). The most problematic
aspect is that the human interface is not considered fixed (not even necessarily
the answer part) and may change without notice.
Apart from that, talking to a web server is just opening a socket and talking to that
socket in HTTP style.
Googling HTTP and RPC brings up the ideas about automation over HTTP, basis
of some APIs around (some stock quote feeds work this way too, e.g. yahoo).

Betreff: [PHP-WIN] imitating browser
Has anyone ever tried to imitate a browser with PHP or seen code
snippets that could help?
Scenario would be (everything via PHP):
-login to the page sending username and password and all other necessary
fields via POST
-now that the script is "logged in (session started)" we my use a search
form to search anything we need by sending POST queries to ex. search
page (search doesn't work if you are not logged in)
-save those pages (trivial part)
I am pretty sure that has to be possible with sockets and things alike.
Any help is appreciated!

I think you'll find the learning curve quite easy. I went from ASP and
various other scripting languages as a background, to PHP and I'm
constantly amazed at the flexibility and functionality of PHP. Every
time I think "God, I'm goinna have to create a function to do such and
such", PHP usually already has something built into it. A great relief.
I'm just used to having to manually create a lot of basic functions like
I used to do in ASP.

I started to play with this one day, but the LDAP extension for PHP was
giving me some issues (some silly configuration issue probably) so I
left it alone. I'll go back to it eventually.
I havn't looked into MSRS, personally.. So can't really tell you much as
far as using PHP with it, but there's most likely some way to do it.
PHP's pretty flexible.
As for databases and stored procedures, you can either use PHP's built
in MS Sql, Oracle, ODBC, MySQL, etc database functions or you can use a
script like PHPEverwhere's "ADODB" script (http://php.weblogs.com/adodb)
to make portable database code that you can use on just about any
database just by changing the connect string.
Since I work with MS Sql and Oracle, I find this to be pretty useful.
Don't have to change my way of thinking of or coding, just do the same
stuff for all the DBs I access.

No real problems or challenges in learning PHP itself, it's really
straightforward if you ask me. You always learn new little tricks as
you go along, but I found it much easier to learn than ASP.
The database stuff was a little interesting, but there are some good
examples online and once you find a method that works for what you want,
then you can just keep using the same technique. Just a matter of
copy/paste or making a standard database access scheme.
Like I have a "dbconnect.inc" file in a shared includes folder that all
my scripts hit. I set $database="DatabaseIdentifier" then I have a
"switch" statement that dynamically sets the connection string.
>From there, the "dbconnect.inc" processes a variable called $sqlquery
that contains the SELECT, INSERT or DELETE string. The default result
set for ADODB is "$arr", so in my main script I just do a "if
(count($arr) > 0)" then do the good stuff, " } else { " Do what you need
to do if no data is returned from query.
I handle updates and inserts slightly different than select statements,
but that's the essential gist.
Once I set up a connection string for each DB, I just write a script
assigning a $database= and an $sqlquery= and then process $arr after I
include the dbconnect.inc file.
If someone has a better way, I'm always happy to listen, but it seems to
work pretty good for me and provide me with the flexibility and
modularity that I need.
Like I said about LDAP, the extension choked on me, but I havn't taken
the time to diagnose the issue.
Good luck! Report back with your trials and tribulations, I'd be
curious to hear more about the LDAP and MSRS functionality with PHP.

Hi,
Will someone help me, please?
I am trying to write some PHP coding to process text that was entered into a form by a
user. When the SUBMIT button is clicked, I get this message:
FORBIDDEN
You don't have permission to access /foldername/< on this server.
Does anyone have any ideas about why?

Marlene,
Seems like your scripts need the appropriate permissions to access the
database directory, using the local account assigned for your Web server to
process requests.

Thanks to all. Somehow I got it working.
I am not sure what I was doing wrong. I made a lot of changes. You know how
debugging goes. Sometimes you don't know which change made the difference.

No, I am not familar with that type of debugging.
If you was not able to isolate the fault to a segment of code,
then there is a risk that you actually introduced a second bug
that counter the first bug. That's is you "solved" a particular
problem, but created a multiple of new - unknown - faults.
