Subject: [PHP] Urgent help - Token Generation code!
I am re-visiting the world of PHP after a really big hiatus and I
am finding
things veryslippery. Can someone please help me with the below code
and let
me know how I can print the token that is getting generated?
I am using EasyPHP and I am trying to echo the $token but it
wouldn't print
anything. I am trying it as : http://localhost/token/URLToken.php.
May I
know where all I am going wrong here in my approach?
$sUrl = "/tstd_c_b1@s54782";
$sParam = "primaryToken";
$nTime = time();
$nEventDuration = 86400;
$nWindow = $nTime + $nEventDuration;
$sSalt = "akamai123!";
$sExtract = ""; // optional
As a second try, what happens if you add right here the line
$sGen = urlauth_gen_url($sUrl, $sParam, $nWindow, $sSalt, $sExtract,
$nTime);
Because it seems as though you just declare three functions in the
code
without calling them...
function urlauth_gen_url($sUrl, $sParam, $nWindow,
$sSalt, $sExtract, $nTime) {
$sToken = urlauth_gen_token($sUrl, $nWindow, $sSalt,
$sExtract, $nTime);
echo $token;
There are two cases:
1. You made a typo and meant 'echo $sToken;' on the above line
instead
2. You omitted the part where $token is defined and used
[More code that seemed fine]

I feel you should use more of the 4th method here as you are not trying to
read the file but the header level (7th layer) information of the HTTP
protocol.

Re: [PHP] Pros/Cons of using mysqli prepared statments
Tamara, In one of the earlier threads, it was mentioned mysqli APIs are more secure, faster, and actually maintained. Also, if you use some of the mysql_xxx(), you actually get a warning saying that it will be or it is being deprecated and paves the way for you to approach the same thing with mysqli_xxx().

[PHP] Formatting an ECHO statement.
Team, A bit of silly one but like my book says, there are no dumb questions, I am asking it here. If I have : $other="Whatever"; and I do: echo 'Other Comments:' .$other. ' works perfectly well and prints the value. What if I want to, now, italicize the value of $other with the above syntax? How do I achieve it? I know we can do it this way : echo " I am $other"; but I want to learn how to do it with the above syntax like I mentioned earlier. Regards, Shreyas Agasthya

Re: [PHP] Web application architecture (subdomain vs. sub directory)
I am not sure who the end-users are for your website but if you are concerned about scalability, I would definitely go for a sub-domain approach. Assuming you approach a CDN like Akamai and you want to offload the traffic to come from the cloud, it's lot easier for you to integrate with them and to maintain. The subdirectory approach, whereas, is very cumbersome and takes more work at your end to paraphrase the whole set-up should the needs change going forward.

Re: [PHP] opening link in new window
I am not sure how PHP can help here. I am sure there must be a way out. With JavaScript, it s certainly possible. You can try window.open() to make this happen. It can accept a lot of parameters and a google search should give you a lot of answers. --Shreyas On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 10:58 AM, David Mehler wrote: > Hello, > I've got a page with an external link.

Re: [PHP] MySQL Query Puzzle
Just to add more perspective : You will have a table with DISTINCT values. Drop the initial table (better take a back-up); copy from the temporary table which will have only DISTINCT values.

Re: [PHP] functions and global variables
My two cents on this one.
Modify the $name within the function and print it.
Modify the$name outside the function (means the non-global-declared $name)
and print it. You will know the difference.

Re: [PHP] form validation and error display
Ash - Thanks for correcting me [should I say us ;) ]. So, if my understandng

Re: [PHP] form validation and error display
David, If I understand your problem/issue here, you are talking about something called 'sticky forms'. This means - (i) the form references itself. (ii) that the form knows what the previous data was when it encounters any validation issues. You achieve (i) and (ii) by re-submitting the form with the usage of a superglobal variable called $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].

[PHP] mail() + localhost
PHP'ers, I am sure this would have been asked a zillion times but I take this as my turn to get some help. I hate to ask such rhetorical questions but quite couldn't understand how to tweak this. All I am trying to do is send a mail from my localhost to my Gmail ID. I read stuff about how the SMTP port should be accessible; should be open et al. My set-up is very simple: 1. Using Easy PHP. 2. Windows XP Also, when the comment says that you need to 'configure' your php.ini, which .ini should I modify? The reason being, I see that file in two locations, apparently. (i) C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\apache (ii) C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\conf_files *My php.ini (will remove the semi-colon)* * * ; For Win32 only. ;SMTP = localhost ;smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = m...@example.com *My code: * * * * * * * Regards, *Shreyas Agasthya

It would also mean that 7 (8 digits which includes 0) is the highest numeric representation that you can have or go up to in an octal representation.

Re: [PHP] Warning messages on web page.

Little weird. I executed the same lines of code against my sample database
and did not got any warning. You might want to send the code for projects
and news to do any comparison?

Re: [PHP] Stripping Characters
Then, when does one use ereg_replace as against preg_replace? I read from one the forums that preg_* is faster and ereg_* is if not faster but simpler. Is that it?

Perhaps, ereg_replace("your regex", "replacement_string", String
$variable).

Re: [PHP] Warning messages on web page.
Mike,
A couple of things that I could understand reading carefully at the error.
1. reset takes an array as the input and perhaps your $thumbsarray is *not *an
array? Reset will set the internal pointer to the start of the array.
2. Warning # 2 is very closely related to #1 since you can iterate on an
array and not on a variable.
3. Just FYI - You can control the behavior should or not these
warnings/notices/errors in your php.ini file. Do a quick google and you
should be happy to see the result.

Shreyas

Re: [PHP] Date Conversion Problem

I think it would help people like me (newbie) to know the exact statements.
Though I could envisage what you would have done with my current learning,
it would be good if I double check the statements that went there to fix
it.
