Re: [PHP] $GLOBALS example script on php.net
It doesn't though, it creates a copy of the $_GLOBALS super global array, removes entries that will have been set by the system (i.e. it leaves user-defined variables) and then returns the ones that are left, so in that, the user note is perfectly correct. What has me puzzled is how unsetting LEAVES user defined variables ? Why would that happen ? The array in the function lists the common server-defined variables > (HTTP_VARS, etc), which it unsets from the local copy of the super global > array ($globals). Basically, it loops through the un-named array, and unsets > that index from $globals. > Thank you, Ashim

[PHP] $$var
Dear All, I was reading the php manual for session_register, and I found the following line there : - $_SESSION[$var] = $$var; Why do I need $$ there ? Can someone explain? Thank you, Ashim
Re: [PHP] $GLOBALS example script on php.net
Dear Ashley, I do follow the part when it creates a local copy of $GLOBALS. When it unsets them, is there a subtlety of unset that it ONLY unsets system defined entries? Could you please explain this ? Thank you, Ashim

[PHP] $GLOBALS example script on php.net
Dear all, I was reading this page http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.globals.php and I found the following script there : Here's a function which returns an array of all user defined global variables: I think that this script UNSETS each supergobal variable,but page says that it returns ALL user defined vars ? Can some one tell me how that is ? Thank you, Ashim

[PHP] Help needed with mysql import
Dear all, I am trying to make a website with php and I found the following code in a book and I am trying to import it. The following are the beginning of the file i am trying to import with the command mysql -u root -pmypassword certainty < dump I get the following error : ERROR 1067 (42000) at line 9: Invalid default value for 'id' but when I see line 9 i see the value '0' for id which seems ok to me, I also tried removing the quotes but same error. Can someone guide me ? Thank you, Ashim # MySQL dump 7.1 # # Host: [host deleted] Database: certainty # # Server version 3.22.32 # # Table structure for table 'high_scores' # CREATE TABLE high_scores ( id int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(30), answer_count int(11), credit double(16,4), PRIMARY KEY (id) );
Re: [PHP] Quotes in Heredoc
Yes, in HTML the quotes are optional, but they are required in XHTML documents: > http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/diffs.html#h-4.4 > Ok Thank you, Ashim
Re: [PHP] Quotes in Heredoc
The quotes you mention are in the HTML, nothing to do with PHP. HTML will work without the quotes in most cases (unless there's a space in the value for the attribute) but the quotes are required in XHTML and will cause unexpected results. Can you elaborate on the XHTML part? Do you mean they are required in XHTML but optional in HTML ? Many thanks, Ashim.
[PHP] Quotes in Heredoc
Dear All, I am learning PHP by reading a book. My query pertains to the following lines : - $form_str = <<< EOFORMSTR . My query is that is it true that we don't need to do ie. we don't need to quote the value of the options in Heredoc. Is that correct? Many thanks, Ashim.

[PHP] HTTP Authenticaion Query
Hello {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}.";
echo "You entered {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']} as your password.";
}
?>
Dear All,
Above is a code example from php.net
http://php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php
What I am left wondering is the SEQUENCE OF FLOW of logic here. Assume a
page has ONLY this code. Then the 1st time the if condition will branch into
if part ( and not the else ) . Then it will send a header and ask for a
username/password pair. When I enter that it is STILL in the IF part. How
will it jump to the else part and authorize me UNLESS when I press enter it
reloads the page. Maybe I am tired and not thinking straight. Would love to
hear a clarification on this.
Thank you,
Ashim
[PHP] Correct file permissions for a website
Dear All, The book PHP and MySQL bible says that the php directory should be world executable ? I remember posting a different question earlier to this list and one person suggesting this and another person replying that that was incorrect. Could someone clear the smoke on this one ?

[PHP] using BOTH GET and POST in the same page.
Dear All, I am reading "PHP5 and MySQL Bible". Chapter 7 of the book says that PHP can use GET and POST in the SAME page! Also it says that we can use the SAME variables in GET and POST variable sets and that conflict resolution is done by variable_order option in php.ini Can some one write a small program to illustrate the previous ideas? It is not clear to me as to how to implement this. Many thanks, Ashim.
[PHP] Difference between CURLOPT_URL and wget

Re: [PHP] Newbie looking for a project
Dear Tedd, I have read one php book cover to cover, I wanted to contribute to projects for 2 reasons:- 1. Someone would benefit from the app. 2. I would learn more by interacting with experienced people. Writing apps on my own is fun but it's fruit is only for me to benefit from,but yes if nothing else I should do that.
