RE: [PHP] isset()

[PHPBeginner.com]

the SOLUTION:

strlen() is the length of string, right? Then instead of doing

   1. comparison
   2. function execution

(I am talking here about your 1/bazillions of a second)

a perfect solution would be :

if($var!='')

and, this is only

   1. comparison

am I right?



Now, no matter how much you care of thinking that the variable you need to
match positive is a string longer then 0 characters

if($var!='')

will always do the same of strlen() but with less overhead and will add that
1/bazillion of a second to execution of your application...



I am so 'HOT' on this issue because it looks to me more silly then needed an
extra string function during execution of a conditional.

nice day, Joe!

You're wrong in saying that you "usually know what the variable will be" -
you
never know what it's going to be. You aren't entering it you need to
remember that mostly idiots are inputting the data :O)

Yup, you need to have your key strings in quotes '',
so it doesn't think it's a constant.

ALWAYS use $array['key']
and not
$array[key]

RE: [PHP] isset()

[PHPBeginner.com]

Whatever they input is not the objects, right?

then (I've just double-checked it, to be sure I am not saying some 'BULL')


$var = 0;

if($var)
echo 'var matched';

if(isset($var))
echo 'var is set';


when the $var is 0 the second condition will return true, the first will be
false instead...
Obviously if they enter anything else then 0 and NULL (I mean nothing) it
will return true in both cases, if($var.., if(isset($var... if(strle($var
...

What's wrong with isset() in here?
I am on PHP4.0.4!

explain me again, why on user input strlen() would do better then isset() ?

RE: [PHP] isset()

[PHPBeginner.com]

have I said it won't work, Joe?

I said that using strlen() might not be necessary. (re-read my post)
On my own opinion the same things could be done without using the string
functions.
Am I wrong in something there? then thanks for correcting me - will know it
for the feature.

You are COMPLETELY wrong here. isset() is designed to check if a variable is
SET - NOT if it has something in it. empty() is designed for strings NOT for
ints - so if it's set to 0 it will fail. Finally in PHP 4 + you have
problems
when you do checks and variables aren't set.

I do this, like I said before, because the extra 1 billionth of a second is
worth the overhead. I've programmed for sites ranging from a few hundered
hits
a day to a few million hits a day and this works ALL the time.

Re: [PHP] isset()

[Joe Stump]

You are COMPLETELY wrong here. isset() is designed to check if a variable is 
SET - NOT if it has something in it. empty() is designed for strings NOT for
ints - so if it's set to 0 it will fail. Finally in PHP 4 + you have problems
when you do checks and variables aren't set. 

I do this, like I said before, because the extra 1 billionth of a second is
worth the overhead. I've programmed for sites ranging from a few hundered hits
a day to a few million hits a day and this works ALL the time.

Re: RE: [PHP] special characters with perl,mysql,php

[Mitchell Hagerty]

The special character I'm concerned with at the moment is the back tick ` which mysql 
doesn't like on an insert. I 
was looking for a way not to parse the entire file evertime I inserted or extracted 
them from the database. Its 
simple enough todo in perl and php just seems like it would burn alot of cpu time.

I was actually hoping mysql would have a way to encode it on the way in and decode on 
the way out. That way 
php or perl would be irrelevant. Guess not :\

tks for your help

Re: [PHP] encrypt and decrypt in standard PHP

[Mukul Sabharwal]

Hi,

You can also use an RC4Encryption / Decryption class
made in PHP.

http://www.devhome.net/php/tutorials/230101.html

it's pretty easy to use.

Read the http://php.net/FAQ about the NULL character problem.

I'm betting you have some funky character that confuses that browser in the
output that the other browsers just ignore.

Oh, yeah... my favorite:

explode()!

$var = '1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10';
$var_array = explode(',',$var);

/*
   will become:
   $var_array[0] = '1';
   $var_array[1] = '2';
   $var_array[2] = '3';
   $var_array[3] = '4';
   ... and so on

as you notice the array starts from 0

recompile it as apache's module if you can so apache can give PHP_SELF the

I'm using a remote host, and when I call mail() with all the var's pulling

I have noticed a lot of people do not put quotes on their array indexes
(e.g. VBulletin is a prime offender) - imho this is a really bad practice
because your code becomes ambiguous.

Example:

"orange", "bar"=>"purple");

echo $test[foo];
?>

Now, I think that should print nothing (or an error), because there is no
index matching "donkey" (the value of the constant "foo"). But for some
reason PHP looks for an array index matching the string "foo" as well,
encouraging this kind of sloppy programming.

You need to have an array or db with file and description

in ca you use array :

$location = Array(

  ..etc

);

and then

if(isset($location[$PHP_SELF]))
echo $location[$PHP_SELF];


and so on ...

note: this is just a quick and dirty idea on how to do that, with a little

Subject: [PHP] Problems sending mail to aol with the mail() function


Hello,

I am working on a PHP script for an e-commerce site that mails out calling
card pin numbers after somebody purchases them online. Turing testing I not
noticed that aol users were not receiving the messages. AOL seems to be
filtering them out without sending a bounce or anything. We tried it with
multiple aol users, and nothing I tried when using the mail function got
through, but messages sent from the server with pine and the php mail
package SquirrelMail do get through. The messages are received on every
other mail system I have tried.

I know this is more of a mail question, but I was hoping somebody here and
encountered this before and knew of a workaround. I noticed that
SquirrelMail doesn't use the mail function, they chose to write their own
SMPT package. I wonder why?

Anyway, my test scripts look like this:


I tried playing around with different headers and nothing made any
difference. I sent them to myself and they sure look like valid email
messages to me. Does anybody else have this problem? What did you do about
it?

Thanks,

RE: [PHP] International support

[PHPBeginner.com]

Hi (Soma Interesting?)

I am also a developer here in Tokyo and have done few I-Mode websites using
PHP and mySQL. (I've used PostgreSQL with Japanese, but not for I-Mode)
( see www.japaninc.com/i )

There's no particular problems of storing the 2-bit data in your databases,
the only thing is that to do sorting you have to compile the databases with
the language needed ( regardless of which database you use - see their docs
they all support that).

With PHP there's a little problem using string functions. strlen(), for
instance will return you the number of bytes. In Latin characters ASCII
1-255 a character is a byte, but that doesn't apply to Japanese which use
double bits (some characters are even three bits), so a strlen() will not
return you the number of Hiragana & Kanji in string - it will return you the
number of bits these Kanji were composed from - VERY, VERY UGLY

You need to use PHP3 Japanese interpretation to do that kind of tasks.

In our company we use a different server for Japanese characters running
PHP3 JIS, and the pages are being included form there.

IE: www.fusion-2000.net runs both PHP4 and PHP3 JIS with PostgreSQL at the
back end.

While www.japaninc.com/i goes on PHP4.0.1pl2 and mySQL, (check out that
game)

So, no worries, it is all possible to do, except there's a pain with
choosing PHP version for the server.

Subject: [PHP] International support


Hello everyone,

I'm currently working a project that is intended to handle Japanese
character sets - and now I'm told ideally iMode too. :) The iMode isn't
such an issue at the moment - but the article below has spooked me a
little. At an early point in the project we tested if putting some input
into a web form, which ultimately was handled by php then stored in
postgres would return fully intact - and it did. This left me comfortable
that PHP and Postgres don't seem to care what language they're storing in
fields or variables. I'm 'guessing' that this is because the data, whether
its English or Japanese is being stored in binary (or something else?). Of
course I wouldn't be able to sort the data or do anything else that would
require PHP/Postgres to be able to interpret the data. However if I compile
Postgres with locals support for the character set/language in question -
then postgres will be able to sort Japanese. Is this right?

Have I got this all right so far? I have attempted to do my research on
this - but finding a real beginners guide to international web development
has been a trick. And the best sources I have found on this topic generally
are specific to Oracle. Any links would be appreciated.

Ok the next part of this message is an article I thought would be generally
interesting so I'm not hesitating to post it entirely. It was forwarded to
me so I'm not sure of the source.

For the postgres folks, these developers went with MySQL - I've chosen
Postgres. Is there anything MySQL does that Postgres doesn't in terms of
language support that I should be aware of?

RE: [PHP] isset()

[PHPBeginner.com]

I don't agree with you in here,

you usually know what kind of variable you're checking, so strlen() will
work just as well as

$var ? 'OK' : 'Empty'

will work or the isset() - common, it was made for checking the variables -
use it.

strlen() is in fact an overhead, why would you allow your design to be some
sort of untraditional? I don't think there's any necessity for it

a "good design" often would be something like this:

$var = 'whatever';

if($var)
...do this
else
ERROR('no var') // some your func to output the error mess or to continue
with debugging

in most cases it will work better and simpler for you without spending these
bazillions of important for every developer seconds.

I stand firm on strlen() for the following reasons ...

if(!$var) will sometimes act strangely (has for me in the past) when
variables
are set to something other than what you are expecting.

if(isset($var)) will return true if your text field is declared but not
filled
in.

if(empty($var)) will return true if $var is set to 0 (for obvious reason) so
is
only good for certain instances.

strlen() on the other hand converts the variable to a string and returns a
count
of characters. It's never failed or acted funky. For this reason I use it
religiously.

Others might say "well it's extra overhead" to which I reply "I'll take an
extra
bazillionth of a second to know for sure I have what I need"

A simple solution for a site with a small number of pages would be to create
an array like the following:

$location['/index.php'] = "Home";
$location['/services.php'] = "Services";
$location['/products.php'] = "Products";

Then use $SCRIPT_URL or a similar environment variable to display the proper
label in the "location bar".



If you have a large number of pages (especially dynamically generated
"virtual" pages) or sublevels to your site you'll probably want to use a
more advanced solution.

[PHP] Can't connect php to mysql on linux

[George Alexander]

Hi,

I working on Redhat Linux 6.1 and I've installed MySQL-3.23.33-1.i386.rpm and 
MySQL-client-3.23.33-1.i386.rpm.
MySql is working fine. I've even created a database also using MySqlAdmin.
Regarding Php I've installed php-3.0.18-1.6.x.i386.rpm and as for Apache : 
apache-1.3.14-2.6.2.i386.rpm.
I've even installed php-mysql-3.0.16-1.i386.rpm and mod-php3-3.0.12-2.i386.rpm.

My problem is I can't connect PHP to Mysql Db using the 
mysyql_connect("localhost","root","mypassword") command.

Please help me asap.
Regards,
George

Whups, forgot a blasted semicolon...

$count = 1;

while($count < 10)

RE: [PHP] Download PHP from Linux machine?

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

well, you could load lynx, then type "G" (go) and
type in "www.php.net" on the address bar, then
navigate your way to the download page from there.
(it's only one page deep into the site)

that's how i did it at work on our linux machine.

RE: [PHP] Help INSERTing to MySQL

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

you dont need to have a list of field names if you insert
the exact amount of fields that exist in the table...

if you have fields Name and Email, you can do:
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES ('myname','[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
without a problem.  however, if you have fields 
Name, Email and Password the previous code will break,
since MySQL would complain that you're inserting
too few (or too many) pieces of data into the table,
and it cant decide which data goes where

RE: [PHP] Using while as for...

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

this is how you'd do it, in any of three ways,
depending on the values you want to start/stop with.

//counts from 0 to 10
$count=0;
while ($count <= 10) {
echo "$count, ";
$count++;
}
print "";

//counts from 1 to 10
$count=0;
while (++$count <= 10) {
echo "$count, ";
}
print "";

//counts from 1 to 11
$count=0;
while ($count++ <= 10) {
echo "$count, ";
}

[PHP] special characters with perl,mysql,php

[Mitchell Hagerty]

Hey All,

What would be a good method for inserting data into a blob field
that contained special characters using perl then retrieving that
data with php?

URI::Escape has worked well with perl but now that php has
gotten into the picture I need a new method.

any suggestions?

tks

In this case use NULL as the value for id and it'll auto increment nicely.
Using a blank  ''  will work too.  Regarding use of NULL, it's NULL and
not 'NULL'.

Philip

I find SET even easier:


   INSERT INTO Table SET

or

   UPDATE Table SET


then

  field1 = '$Field1',
  field2 = '$Field2',
  fieldN = '$FieldN'


That makes it very easy to keep track of what goes where.  It is
somewhat new to MySQL, but anything less than a year old should have it
available.

You don't need to insert it. auto_increment will automatically
increment every time you insert a record. In fact, you _really_
don't want to ever set this field, as you would be modifying your
primary key ( unless your modifying them all )

 Note: You don't have to INSERT all fields mentioned below. If
you have a 'default' value set..then it will default to that value,
or in auto_increment case...it will automatically increment from
the last record it reads.

Don't use safe-mode in your suExec PHP CGI configure.

suExec pretty much does everything safe mode does anyway, and more.

No.

You *can* pass enough information to the FRAMESET page that it will load the
right content for each sub-FRAME.

http://yoursite.com/main.php?nav=a.php&top=b.php&content=c.php

 main.php ---

In essence, you are "losing" the feature of frames that lets only one change

Re: [PHP] encrypt and decrypt in standard PHP

[Richard Lynch]

You could use popen() to execute http://gnupg.org or PGP...

It would be easier to recompile PHP, though, and performance on popen() is
going to suck.

You *might* be able to compile just the encryption module, and use
dl("mcrypt.so") in your PHP script to load it up rather than recompile all
of PHP, but again, it's going to be harder, and performance will suffer.

Compiling PHP the *second* time is *way* easier than the first time,
especially if you've saved your previous PHP source tree and all the other
source trees -- There's a file in the PHP source tree called config.status,
and some other config.* files, that "remember" what you did last time.  So,
copy those somewhere safe, and then look at them.

You'll probably be able to copy config.status to config.zhu, and then edit
that to add --with-mcrypt (or whatever it is), and do:
chmod 755 config.zhu
./config.zhu

What error message?

Would it perchance, be the one about "headers already sent"?

You need to *NOT* have *ANY* output to the browser before you attempt to do:
header("Location: password.php");

Output includes "echo" or "print" statements, error messages, , or
*EVEN* (and this is the killer) blank lines outside  tags.

Specifically, if you include a file, and that file has a newline after the
?> at the end, you can't do a header after that.  Get rid of the trailing
newline.

Doing this after you registered a variable is bogus -- The
session_register() automatically calls this if you haven't yet.

Doing session_start() (and, by extension, session_register()) in the same
file as a header("Location:") won't work on some browsers.  You'll either
get the cookie but no redirection or vice versa, depending on which browser
you are using.

And there should be a space after 'Location:'
And you probably need SID= for the SID to get passed on.
header("Location: http://www.blah.com/index2.php?SID=".SID);

Re: [PHP] mysql.sock

[Richard Lynch]

>can someone please send me   mysql.sock

>i had a crash - reinstalled the rpm 3.22.32  but this file is missing

Unless I'm grossly mistaken, that file should only exist while MySQL is
actually running, and should contain the socket number that MySQL happens to
be using at the moment.

So, (A) their mysql.sock is not going to do you any good, and (B) it will
get created when you start MySQL, and (C) you really don't want to try to
change it by hand.

You may need to *delete* the old mysql.sock file, if MySQL didn't "know" the
computer crashed, and is complaining about that old one being there.  It's
basically just MySQL thinking that MySQL must already be running since you
have one of those files.

Or, you may just need to start MySQL to have a mysql.sock file show up where
you think there should be one.

Or, *maybe* the *path* where MySQL wants to store mysql.sock somehow got
trashed/changed during your RPM install, since it is configurable, and you
just need to create the directory where mysql.sock wants to live.  WARNING:
If you messed this up with your RPM, you may have also not told the new
MySQL install where your databases live.  Don't panic if you fire up MySQL
and all your databases are "gone".  You probably just need to configure
MySQL to look for the database files in the right place.

This is a known bug under *some* Win32 installations.

Use  to figure out which variable has what you need in it,
and use that variable.

If you need to deploy on multiple platforms, you'll have to compare/contrast
the two server's  outputs and find a common variable with
the info you need, or using some sort of if/else with the other variables to
detect which platform is running.

I think not.

That variable is sent/set by the *browser* to Apache on each URL request.

What you *could* do is log stuff yourself from PHP using
http://php.net/error-log

You could log the time, their IP, and their user_agent using that, and then
later mix-and-match those entries with Apache entries to figure out who
asked for what.

For that matter, you could turn off Apache logging, and use PHP's to log
everything you need.

Re: [PHP] security and php

> I am a system administrator and currently we are playing to migrate all
> our CGI (written in C) to php! But playing a little with php i got
> worried about how services that need to keep username/password are
> handled by php, for instance:

For starters, you *could* have PHP running as a CGI wrapped by suExec
(http://apache.org)

Performance, however, would be not-so-hot, particularly after custom C code
as your previous experience.

Rumor had it at one point that Apache 2.0 would allow Modules to execute in
a similar fashion to suExec -- Whether this feature has survived
development/debug/QA phases is unknown to me.  But it *might* be worth
checking out.  WARNING:  You'd be way past the envelope of tested source
code at that point.  Not just with Apache as Beta software, but with
PHP/Apache/MySQL interaction.  OpenSource QA mostly consists of quantity of
users pounding on stuff, versus a planned organized QA team.

You *could* write a tiny C-module using PEAR, or even alter PHP's source
code, to have the passord encoded as part of your PHP Module binary.  Your
username/password would then be buried somewhere in the binary of that
module, so only a C disassembler would get it out.  I *think* libphp4.so
just needs to be executable for Apache, right?...

Many admins set up different username/passwords for MySQL, depending on what
"classes" of users need select/update/insert/delete access to which
tables -- And the one username/password combo that is for general everyday
access through your public site is stored in a file that the PHP user
(default 'nobody') can read, but is in a directory tree that is not in the
web tree and that other users cannot 'cd' to.  PHP can
http://php.net/include such a file, even though it is not visible in the
web-tree via a browser, if the include_path is set properly in php.ini.
Still, other users on the same server can read that file using PHP or Perl
or anything else than can run as user 'nobody', so it's not great
protection.

Another option would be to buy the Zend Encoder, and encode the file that
contains username/password info.  Rather expensive for what you need right
now, but it would save you writing/testing the C code to bury the
username/password in a large enough block of binary, and you can move on to
your "real" application.  Of course, if at some point you want to install
PHP code on somebody else's server, or just keep a lot of files on your own
server protected, the Zend Encoder price becomes more reasonable.  Again,
only somebody with a lot of time on their hands, a thorough knowledge of the
Zend engine, and a disassembler is going to be able to reverse-engineer
this.

Still, if they want it bad enough, they *can* -- There's pretty much *no*
*way* to have your web server capable of reading/executing a file, and yet
not have some other user on that machine capable of doing the same to
masquerade as that MySQL user, if they work at it enough.  It will be as as
good as your CGI programs were, but no better.  Well, maybe a little better,
since C crackers/disassembler-experts exist, but I don't think there are any
ZendEncoder cracker specialists yet...

It seems to me though, that the barrier difference between nobody-executable
and nobody-readable is not *that* different:  If I can write a Perl/PHP
script to execute your connect.cgi, it ain't all that more difficult from
being able to read the username/password in your connect.php.  Yeah, I have
to write a little shell script.  Not that big a deal, really, in most
real-world scenarios.

It doesn't have to be *world* readable -- You can chown -R your site to be
the user that PHP runs as, and chomd -R 400 it.  See  to
find out what that user is, and edit httpd.conf to change it with "User"
directive.  So now, only people who can su to 'nobody' or who have access to
write PHP/Perl/C code on your server are able to snarf those passwords.
Let's face it -- If they can write PHP/Perl/C code and execute it on your
server, your MySQL passwords for data that web-surfers can read is probably
not your biggest worry.

Also, check out "safe mode"  That makes it harder for one user on a shared
server to read another user's files with username/password info in them.
This is more for use in a VirtualHost ISP environment, which I get the
feeling you're not, b

Only some browsers will accept a Cookies *and* a redirect in the headers in

Don't use a cookie to do the "camefrom".

Use $HTTP_REFERER or use:

You aren't necessarily supposed to see the full path or not, nor does your

You should only get the filename by the time it reaches PHP.

Whomever contributed the posix_getpwnam() function probably encountered an

Can the PHP user (default 'nobody') actually execute this funtion?
Use  to find out what user PHP runs as.
If you have 'root' access, su to that username, and try to find some shell
commands to get info about that user.
If 'nobody' can't get the info, neither can PHP.

Use "View Source" in your browser on one of your FORM pages.

I forget if trans sid puts the ID into the URL (ie, mixes GET/POST) or adds
it as a INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN form element...

If, as I suspect, it is being put into the URL, you may be accidentally not
getting the mixed GET/POST data...  Perhaps just adding
enctype=multipart/form-data would help...  Or maybe something in your
web-server is tromping on the mixed data types.

The *easiest* way to do this is to store those changable values and their
possible settings in a database.  Really.  Even if you've never used a
database before, it's the easiest.  Honest.

Then just have the pages access the database to get their settings.

*HOWEVER*, if you are not already using a database, opening a database
connection can be expensive time and resource-wise.

So, if you don't already use a database, and *IF* (*huge* *IF* there) you
can guarantee that no two administrators will attempt to alter settings at
the same time, and *IF* you really, really need to worry about performance,
you could fopen() the file to write the current settings to it.

This comes with a security penalty -- You have a file somewhere on your file
system that PHP's user (usually 'nobody') can write to and that gets read by
all your pages to set your variables.

In an ideal world, you should *at* *least* make sure that:
o This file is *not* in your web-tree, but is somewhere else
o This file does *not* have .php extension
o All settings are explicitly checked for by the reader code, not this file.

To further explain this third point:
You *could* (bad idea) just have your file look like this:
- settings.inc -


And you *could* (bad idea) just include() it in your scripts.

But, this file is essentially world-writable.  (Well, okay, it's only
'nobody' writable, but any other person on your server can write to that, so
it's pretty darn close to world-writable.)

So, they could put all sorts of malicious code in there.

Far better to have your nobody-writable settings file look like this:
-- settings.ini ---
forecolor = 'FF'
backcolor = '00FF00'

And have another file you include() that looks like this:


You can even be more cautious by validating the individual inputs for the
settings.
IE, forecolor should be exactly 8 characters, starting with ' and ending
with ' and only [0-9a-fA-F] in between.  (Regex is your buddy here.)

The point is to make it harder for a hacker to exploit this file they can
all too easily write into.  *YOU* make sure that the data you have there is
what you expect, and you are only setting variables you expect, not just
executing what is essentially arbitrary code that anybody else on your
server could alter.

You do not need to "wait" for fread().  It blocks by default.  Unless you've
messed around with set_socket_blocking() somewhere else in your code?...

What *exactly* is the value of $file_contents when it fails?

echo "'$file_contents' ", gettype($file_contents), "\n";

If it is 0 or 'false' you can at least detect the problem and try again a
time or two...

Yes, those are the problems.  You are XOR-ing and getting invalid
characters.  You could URLEncode/URLDecode it, or
Base64_Encode/Base64_Decode or some other way of guaranteeing that your
databases don't have to deal with funky characters.

>Is there a better way to do this?

This is a *really* bad idea, all around.  Either the place you are storing
the credit card numbers is "secure enough" that encrypting them is
pointless, or it's not secure enough at all, and your encryption won't stop
anybody who wants those numbers.

You shouldn't be storing nor transporting credit card numbers insecurely.
XOR-encryption is not secure, by definition.

Your browser is probably configured to use "anonymous/youremailhere" as
usename/password to FTP.

Are you using those values in your PHP code?

Look up "cursor" in your MS SQL documentation.

It's not as mind-numbingly simple as LIMIT, but it works.

I have no idea what SMS is.

You *can* probably use PHP and cURL to send and receive the appropriate data
to initiate and continue a cookie session to fake out the server and fill
out the form.  You just might have to work at it a bit.

Tip:  Set up a page that works the way you think their page works, and then
use  in it to figure out what a "normal" browser sends to
a server that's doing what you think they are doing.  Send exactly the same
stuff to their server that worked on your server, and see what happens.

If you work hard enough at it, there is *no* *way* they can detect that your
program is not a human.

The ones using \n haven't read the spec very carefully, and are using Un*x
mail servers that are forgiving.

The ones that use \r\n either read the spec, or are using very rigid
unforgiving Microsoft products.

Use the \r\n ones if you care about portability.

Read the http://php.net/FAQ about the NULL character problem.

I'm betting you have some funky character that confuses that browser in the
output that the other browsers just ignore.

Change : or die("Unable to INSERT to database");
To : or die(mysql_error());

And see what it tells you.  Odds are there's a field not being accounted
for.  When not designating columns (just values) it's important to make
sure all columns are accounted for.  See :

http://www.sqlcourse.com/

It'll provide some basic SQL help.  It's recommended to write out columns
and values (easier to make sense of).

Before your VALUES you need to have a list of the fields ie:

insert into table (id,fname,lname) values ('$id','$fname','$lname')

Re: [PHP] Order by Date (Newbie)

To order by dates use SQL

select * from news order by PostDate DESC;

and then make sure that PostDate is a date or datetime - hell even an int with
a unix timestamp (aka time()) will work.

Thanks for your help.

I do work with MySql and that was going to be my final option. But because I

Not to worry. MySql it is.

[PHP] ANSI to HTML with socket handling

[Kyndig]

venin all,

   Appologies in advance for the lengthy email. I have been
working on an ANSI to HTML converter for over 3 months now.
I am trying to get a socket to open up, read in the buffer,
and if any ANSI color codes are found, convert them to their
proper FONT tags. The socket callin is working fine. ( Though
I can't seem to get it to close properly after the login
screen of a game is completed ) This script is made to call
MUD's ( multi user dungeon ) games. Some of these muds have
color capable logins, and I'd like to convert those login
screens to HTML FONT.

   The purpose of this email is to request any help at
all in the completion of this small script. My string
function handling in any language is rusty at best. If
any on this list can give me some pointers, helpfull hints,
or debugging statements, it would be most appreciated.



The below script calls a host and a specific port ( I
hard coded in my game as an example ). If you save
this script, and run it, you will see what I am referring
to. It calls the game, and retrieves the login screen.


---script begins below--

[PHP] PHP not proccessing input?

[Chris]

Help!
I am trying to post some info to my php script using the microsoft internet control:

strurl = http://www.myserver.com/test.asp
strdata = "lah=sd&dta=test
Inet1.Execute strurl, "POST", strdata

PHP returns HTTP_POST_VARS as being empty.
Yet, if I use PERL, I can read the posted info just fine.

PHP does work fine with normal php forms.

Why can PERL recognize my data, but PHP not, how are they handling the posted info 
differently?

Is there a way I can get PHP to display the raw data that the script receives so I can 
see what is happening?

Thanks for any help, 
Chris

[PHP] specifying alternate host with imap-mail

Is it possible to specify an alternate SMTP host for use with imap_mail? Is
this what the rpath parameter is for? If so, what would the syntax be.

If you're just tokenising by a comma, don't use split(), use explode().

split() accepts a regular expression for the separator, whereas explode()
accepts just a normal string. The difference is, split() is slower.
