Raymond,

Here is the break down:

1. Download ucd-snmp tar.gz file.
2. Download openssl tar.gz file.

You will need openssl for snmp v3 for the security stuff.

Uninstall ucd-snmp if it is installed on your system.  Uninstall openssl on
your system.  
3. Untar the files...
4. In the ucd-snmp directory find the file config.h and locate the
NO_ZEROLENGTH_COMMUNITY and uncomment the line if commented and set to 1.
5. Configure, make, make install the ucd-snmp
6. Configure, make, make install the openssl

***NOTE: Do a make clean in the php directory.  Then remove the
config.cache file from the php directory.***

7. Configure php with snmp
Example:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-snmp=/usr/local/snmp
--with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl  --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs
make 
make install

This should work for you.

***NOTE: THINGS I HAVE TRIED***
1. I have tried to compile php with the openssl and snmp rpms.  However, php
chokes on the openssl rpm.  
2. If you want to try it with your already installed rpms, here is the
configuration that I have tried.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin
--libexecdir=/usr/lib --oldincludedir=/usr/include
--with-config-file-path=/etc --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-pear
--enable-sigchild --enable-magic-qoutes --enable-libgcc --enable-bcmath
--enable-calendar --enable-ctype --enable-dbx --enable-ftp
--enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-trans-sid --enable-shmop
--enable-ucd-snmp-hack --enable-sockets --enable-wddx --enable-yp
--enable-inline-optimization --with-xml --disable-debug --enable-pic
--enable-shared --with-regex=system --with-gettext --with-gd
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-zlib --enable-safe-mode --enable-sysvsem
--enable-sysvshm --enable-debugger --with-gdbm --with-db2 --with-db3
--with-png --with-openssl=/usr/include/openssl

The problem that I faced here is that php chokes on finding the evp.h header
file in the openssl direcory.  I look in the directory and it is there.


Let me know if I can help you further.

Subject: [PHP] How to Config PHP to run snmp in php script?


Dear All,
I am using RedHat Linux 7.2, PHP4.1 and its buitd-in apache, I had
tested that the php run correctly with apache.

According to the documentation of www.php.net, As shown below:

#
XCIII. SNMP functions
In order to use the SNMP functions on Unix you need to install the UCD SNMP
package. On Windows these functions are only available on NT and not on
Win95/98.

Important: In order to use the UCD SNMP package, you need to define
NO_ZEROLENGTH_COMMUNITY to 1 before compiling it. After configuring UCD
SNMP, edit config.h and search for NO_ZEROLENGTH_COMMUNITY. Uncomment the
#define line. It should look like this afterwards:

#define NO_ZEROLENGTH_COMMUNITY 1
 


If you see strange segmentation faults in combination with SNMP commands,
you did not follow the above instructions. If you do not want to recompile
UCD SNMP, you can compile PHP with the --enable-ucd-snmp-hack switch which
will work around the misfeature.


I had successfully complie PHP with the --enable-ucd-snmp-hack
switch but I can not find the file called config.h to edit. 
Finally, My question is 
WHERE is the file?? and IS THERE any points/steps need to look at in
order to configure PHP to run snmp in PHP script?? 
Thx All.

[PHP] Get an application/octet-stream from a java applet

2002-02-20 Thread Nicolas Boutet


Hi all,
I'm trying to make a script to get application/octet-stream datas from a
java applet. The method used by the applet is POST and I tried to use
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA like this

?
if (isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA)) {
$contentlength = strlen($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);
$buffer = $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA;
}
...?

but $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is not set and $buffer stills empty. The size of the
data sent by the applet is 860bytes and the applet works fine if I use a C++
CGI instead of PHP.
Does someone have an idea ?
Thanks a lot ;-)

2002-02-20 Thread Andrey Hristov


AFAIK 4.0.6 is weird in the process of HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA generation.
I used this var successfully on 4.0.0, when tried to upgrade to 4.0.6 there was a 
problem. After an investigation I found that if
the submited POST has known by Apache Content header then the var is empty. I think it 
is fixed in 4.1.0 at least in a CVS 4.1.0-pre
version. Try with 4.1.x

Re: [PHP] register_shutdown_function vs require (with pseudocode example)

2002-02-20 Thread Arpad Tamas


Hi,
No one has any idea on this topic? Or the question wasn't clear?
Thanks,
Arpi

 Hi again,
 I read my email back and found a little hard to understand :)), so
 I thought a code exmplae might help.
 It's just pseudo code for explaining how my cache works:

 //simplified main code
 if page is in cache {
   deliver the old one
   register_shutdown_function(regenerate)
 } else {
   regenerate()
   deliver
 }

 //registered shutdown function
 function regenerate() {
   if it's locked by another process {
   return
   } else {
   lock
   require_once(...);
   require_once(...);
   require_once(...);
   require_once(...);
   require_once(...);
   creation of many classes
   calling of many methods (the code is approx 1,6Megs)
   store
   unlock
   }
 }
 The main code delivers the page and reigsters the regenerate()
 function, and that's all what it should do. It takes about 0.04s,
 but this time unfortunately depends on what the regenerate()
 function does. If the page is locked then it finishes quickly (the
 overall time is 0.04s again), but when it can be regenerated it
 takes 0.25s. By the way the whole page regeneration takes 1.1s,
 that's why I really don't understand the 0.25s.
 I hope it was clearer with the two mails :)), and someone has an
 idea of whats happening here.

 Thanks for your help,
   Arpi

actually i just type the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\php study

Hi:



I was wondering if it is posible to make in PHP a cron
job, that will trigger an event (i.e. send an e-mail) long after the process of
the data has taken place, like programming an e-mail to go out, on an specified
date.



My question is, since the script is run and triggered
by the user, how can u trigger the later sending of the mail?



Thanks.

Uma,

I wrote a function last year that calculates the time between 2 dates in
whatever unit is preferred (everything from seconds to years).  My function
expects the date in a slightly different format, but it would be trivial to
switch the order of the date parts in one line and hard-code something for
the hours, minutes and seconds it expects in the date format.  It wouldn't
matter what you hardcode them as since it would use the same time of day for
both dates.

You can convert the time into seconds using mktime(), subtract one from 
the other, and then reformat it using gmstrftime:

//int mktime ( int hour, int minute, int second, int month, int day, int 
year [, int is_dst])
//string gmstrftime ( string format [, int timestamp])
?
$time1 = mktime (0,0,0,12,32,1997);
$time2 = mktime (0,0,0,12,31,1995);
$dif = $time1 - $time2;
$new_time = gmstrftime(%b %d %Y, $dif);

echo $time1br;
echo $time2br;
echo $difbr;
echo $new_timebr;
?
The output looks like this:
883641600
820396800
63244800
Jan 03 1972

Of course you will have to get the date out of the current format you 
have it, but that shouldn't be too hard using explode() and implode();

I recommend inserting the data into a database (perhaps MySQL) which
includes the email data, recipients and date/time to send.  Then setup a
cron job which to run every X minutes which checks for pending emails, runs
them after the date/time has been reached and either deletes the records
when complete, moves them to a different table or changes a status flag so
the next query won't process the same records.  Personally, I'd install PHP
as a CGI to do it, but if you can't or want to avoid that you could use wget
or lynx to call the script over the web (of course you could always use perl
or your favorite scripting language).  If you do that, you should consider
password protecting the script so others can't access it.  Others accessing
it may not be a security risk, but it could add load you don't want.  Both
lynx and wget allow you to pass a HTTP user/password.

Hi All,

I am new to PHP and learning as I go by reading many of the tutorials
around.  I have however come up against a problem that I can't seem to solve
of find any other references to.

I need to make some information available to every page and one of the
series of articles by Kevin Yank which talks about PHP and MySql seemed to
suggest how to do exactly what I wanted but I can't get it to work. His
suggestion was to do something like

A HREF=newpage.php?name=?php echo($myvar); ? A link /A


I think my problem is in the ...A LINK.. bit - what exactly should go here?


I tried some code to see if it worked and this is what I did:

in login.html

html
head
titleDMS Login/title
?php
$dbcnx=@mysql_connect(localhost,DMS,);
echo ( P Connection established on $dbcnx/P);
if (!$dbcnx) {
echo( PUnable to connect to MySql Server at this time./P};
exit();
}
if (! @mysql_connect_db(DMS, $dbcnx) ) {
echo( PUnable to connect to DMS database at this time./P};
exit();
}
?

a href=welcome.php3?dbcnxid=?php echo($dbcnx); ?test link/a

FORM ACTION=welcome.php3 METHOD=GET
First name: INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=firstnameBR
Last Name: INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=lastname
INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=GO
/FORM
br
br



In the welcome.php3 file I have 
HTML
HEAD
TITLEToday's Date/TITLE
/HEAD
BODY
PToday's date (according to this server)
?php
echo( date(l, F dS Y.) ); 
echo (Welcome to our web site $firstname $lastname $dbcnxid );
echo (  $dbcnxid);
echo ( $QUERY_STRING);
?
/BODY
/HTML

What I get is on login page - the texttest linkin blue (i.e. a
link?) and the login prompts.
On the welcome page I get the firstname and lastname ok, but the other
parameter is not in the $QUERY_STRING

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Maybe there is a better way to have some information, that will be retrieved
from the DB available to all pages in the session.  We are not actually
going to have all the users with logins to the DB - but have our own
internal table of users, password and rights information, thus the userid
form this table needs to be available to all pages.


Many Thanks in advance for your help

You may want to use a PHP class that uses SMTP directly.  There's one
Manuel Lemos has written one which is available at
http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/.  Another option is to write the emails
and recipients to a database and use a cron job to query the db every X
minutes and deliver the messages Y recipients at a time until complete.
You'd just need to flag the messages and recipients after they've been
processed or delete them.  I discussed the solution in a reply to a poster

[PHP] RE: novice question -- array_push($real[$i][$j],$s[$j]);????????

2002-02-20 Thread Tim Ward


Array_push() takes an array as it's first parameter. In your case you have
an array of arrays (NOT a 2 dimensional array) and to add an element on to
the end of one of them you need to pass the name of the element of the top
level array you want to add an element to into the function.

I.e. if you have
$fred[0] = array(1,2,3);
$fred[1] = array(4,5,6);

array_push($fred[1], 7)

will leave
$fred[0] = array(1,2,3);
$fred[1] = array(4,5,6,7);

or 

array_push($fred[0], 7)

will leave
$fred[0] = array(1,2,3,7);
$fred[1] = array(4,5,6);

find 
the proper syntax, I'd be grateful if someone could email me the
proper 
method. Iam using the normal method, which worked fine for a one
dimentional 
array, but when I use it for a two dimentional array, it doesnt seem
to 
recognise that is an array, even though I initialized the array with

$real[0][0] = 0;.

Thanks a million for your time,


Bren

You can't pass resource types like database connection IDs in URLs as 
they are only relevant for the instance of the script in which they are 
created. The same goes for things like file identifiers (from fopen) and 
other stuff like that.

[PHP] Re: Timed Jobs.

2002-02-20 Thread J Smith



Suggestion:

- When the user triggers the event, store their user name, email or 
whatever along with a timestamp in your site's database (if it has one) or 
in some text file some place. 

- Write a cron script that runs every five minutes, every minute, every 
hour, whatever. When this script runs, it reads the aforementioned 
database, text file, etc. and checks the timestamps and the user data.

- If the data found by the above script (the timestamp and the user data) 
matches a certain criteria (i.e. the timestamp is 5 hours old, or whatever 
your delay is) and sends out the email appropriately, then deletes or 
otherwise updates that record, so it doesn't try again when it runs the 
next time.

 My question is, since the script is run and triggered by the user, how
 can u trigger the later sending of the mail?

The docs'll give you an idea of how they did it. The code is pretty

 Well, I want to do the same, however I have been searching and found
 nothing that does what I want it to do. The only ones that I can find

 All I want to be able to do is give the current conditions (ie partly

 use this info to create an image or if I will display it as straight

This is the beauty of XML...
It's usually done using something called XML-RPC.  There's a nice

I can't use cookies because they rely on the domain name, and I'd rather not
pass the information on every link Any suggestions?

I've been thinking about this recently and here's what I came up with:

Have a domain or subdomain dedicated souly to user sessions, for
example: session.yourdomain.com

Whenever a user visits a page on ANY of your domains (currentdomain.com
in this example), check if they have a cookie set. If they don't:
1. Create a session for that user with a unique session ID
2. Send them a page which includes a single pixel gif image looking like
this:
img
src=http://session.yourdomain.com/pixel.php?s=zs9s0a8fs6fudisdfsf8dfdfsfsdomain=currentdomain.com;

width=1 height=1
( Remember - session.yourdomain.com has access to ALL cookies set for
session.yourdomain.com )
3. session.yourdomain.com CHECKS to see if this user has a cookie set.
If they DO then they are already
known to session.yourdomain.com - session.yourdomain.com records the
fact that this user is logged on to
currentdomain.com as zs9s0a8fs6fudisdfsf8dfdfsfs in a shared database.
4. If session.yourdomain.com does NOT find a cookie then it means this
is a new user who is not known to the system yet.
session.yourdomain.com creates a cookie recording the user, and
notes that the user is also logged in to currentdomain.com with
whatever session ID was set over there.

This is all pretty complicated but the end result is that the
session.yourdomain.com domain knows about every user, and a shared
database (accessible by all of your domains) maintains a record of each
unique user (as according to the session.yourdomain.com cookie) and what
their session is for each of the different domains.

Final note: http://session.yourdomain.com/pixel.php needs to actually
send a pixel to the client browser - this can be done with the following
code in the zend code library: http://www.zend.com/codex.php?id=193single=1

One way I handle this ... it's a work-around, so it's not all that pretty:

In the doc root on all the domains, I keep a script which just prints out
the cookie names  values for any cookies accessible by the domain ... as
JavaScript variables.  Then that script can be used as the src in a
script on any of your other domains.  BINGO ... you've got cookies!

Want milk?

On domain_A, have this script (let's call it A_cookies.php):

while( list( $key, $val ) = each( $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS ) ){
print( var $key = \$val\;\n );
}

On domain_B, in an HTML document, use some JavaScript:

script src=http://domain_A/A_cookies.php;/script

The pitfalls:
- not useful with users whom have JavaScript or cookies disabled
- now you have to do all cookie data handling on the client side
- this is a third-party activity[1] which more secure-minded people and
  browsers will disallow.  (IE6, as a P3P-enabled user agent, is a prime
  example.)

I only do this for data which makes the user experience better between two
sites.  It's one of those bells and whistles kind of deals.  When it
doesn't work as desired, the sites still function properly.

If I were to try this to track data on a particular user between sites,
I'd store only a session ID in a cookie (a la PHP sessions), use the above
method to get the session ID data into a javascript variable and source it
across sites, then use custom session handlers to put session data into a
single database, with the data associated to the session ID.  The same
pitfalls apply ... so you'd lose track of some visitors when they switch
sites.  I don't consider this a big deal, because this is just how the
Internet is evolving.

g.luck
~Chris

[1] Having a file from domain_B referenced from within a document on
domain_A renders the file from domain_B a third-party document.  There are
inititives to control third-party cookie reading/writing, like banner ads,
and they affect this method of cookie reading too.

Yes it is but you could have a job on your hands depending on the 
complexity of the script. Personally I favour PHP's serialization 
capabilities for flat file work - you can take pretty much any object or 
array (or an array of objects, you can nest them as much as you like) 
and use serialize() to turn it into a string. You can then save the 
string in a text file, and later on re-read it and unserialize it to get 
your original data structure back.

However, if the script you are investigating makes heavy use of SQL join 
syntax you could have a very nasty job on your hands coming up with data 
structures that can be queried in the same way without performance 
becoming an issue.

 actually i just type the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\php study
 but not the
 ;UNIX: '/path1:/path2 Windows:: \path2, that is there by default.
 
 Then i test again from my web, it remains the same error!!

problem of lt; and gt;  getting turned into  and  when you hit
submit, Or if you hit submit more than once. I have attached a sample
form.  The major problem here is that some times we want lt; and some
times we want to input html tags. Has any one else run into this problem
maybe even found a solution.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Byron

Re: [PHP] Reading the value in a cookie


Brandon,

There are a few things about cookies that are not completely. I may be 
wrong about this, but this is what I've found:

 When a cookie is set, it must be passed before any other headers or 
tags. But the cookie is not actually available to the page it was set 
on. If the user reloads the page, or goes to another link, the cookie 
can then be read.

 When you put setcookie() in a PHP file, the cookie will be created 
every time the page is loaded. This will overwrite any previous cookie 
info stored. To overcome this, you can use conditional statements that 
test for the cookie. Just be sure that any code before setcookie does 
not create output (ie echo).

 What I would achieve is to make a sound when someone enters and when

 there might be some code I can add to achieve this?

 Sorry in advance for any lack of tech speak

Well, tech speak isn't the problem.  It sounds like you need a solution that
uses JavaScript or Flash, not PHP.  You'll probably get better help if you
post a URL to the specific chatroom script you're talking about and post to
a list that deals with JavaScript or Flash.

[PHP] Displaying special characters on the web

2002-02-20 Thread Marko Karppinen


After much trial and error, I've learned what it takes to display special
characters (such as em or en dashes and curly quotes etc.) reliably on
practically any browser.

My recommended steps are:

 - Save the content in your database and XML files as UTF-8
 - Don't announce your charset as UTF-8 in either the HTTP headers
   or a META tag. This will break your pages badly in Netscape
   Navigator 4 and Internet Explorer 5.0.
 - Convert the Unicode characters that HTML knows about to
   numeric character references.

Here's how you do just that in PHP. This example is copied verbatim from
http://homepage.mac.com/marko/ (wink wink, nudge nudge), and requires PHP to
be compiled with --enable-mbstring:

$f = 0x; $convmap = array(
/* !ENTITY % HTMLlat1 PUBLIC
-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1//EN//HTML %HTMLlat1; */
 160,  255, 0, $f,

[PHP] how to pass variable and an internal link

2002-02-20 Thread Jena



Hi 
I've encountered a little  (I hope) problem

I can put an anchor on a page to create an internal link writing
a name=my_anchor and then reach it with a normal link writing
echo a href=\page.php#my_anchor\go to my_anchor/a;

but to me is necessary to add a variabale to this link
usually I write somthing like this:
echo a href=\page.php?variable= . $my_variable . \go to/a;

how can I pass either the internal anchor and the variable in the url?

I tried in many ways
echo a href=\page.php#my_anchor?variable= . $my_variable . \go to/a;
echo a href=\page.php?variable= . $my_variable . #my_anchor\go to/a;
but nothing to do;
can someone help me?

Many thank in advance

Sergio

Good day,

The first argument should just be a normal regular expression, not a
replacement regular expression.

I'm not at my server right now, but I would guess that it'll work once you
get rid of the last / in the first expression.

This URL works for me:
   http://66.39.64.134/teams.htm?LeagueID=ncaab#d27

So, your second attempt should work.  Personally, I'd rewrite your line as
this:
   echo a href=\page.php?variable=$my_variable#my_anchor\go to/a\n;

If this doesn't working for you, there's something wrong with the HTML in
page.php or with your browser.  Most likely, you haven't set the name/id
anchor correctly.

Re: [PHP] PDF Fonts Files

2002-02-20 Thread Rasmus Lerdorf


You need to sit through my PDF/PHP talk where I go through all this.  See
conf.php.net/paris2 specifically slides 7 and 8

In particular see the example:

http://conf.php.net/pres/slides/intro/pdf_font_ex2.php

the code for which is on slide #8.  This example shows how to use each of
the built-in fonts, a couple of AFM (Adobe Font Metric) fonts and also a
couple of TTF fonts all on the same PDF page.

 Please Cc: me on replies...

 I recently installed PHP 4.1.0 + PDF 4.0.1 on my development box.

 I can't seem to get the PDF fonts to work properly at all...

 Here are a lot of details about things I understand, and a lot of
 remarks about what I half-understand.

 Note that, as a rule, font technology seems to be such a morass that
 I don't really understand it as a whole, even after reading all the
 HowTos and explanations.  There are just too many players, and too
 many variables involved for my poor little brain...  I grok all the
 little pieces and even some of the big-picture stuff okay, but when
 it comes time to actually use them all, I feel like I need eight
 brains to track it all...

 At any rate, I'm afraid this post goes on quit a bit to explain all
 the things I've tried, and it would be a lot shorter if I was
 smarter, but I'm not. :-v

 To paraphrase Blaise Pascal:
 I'm sorry this post is so long, I didn't have the brains to make it
 short. :-)

 Okay, enough apologies:

 I'm using
 pdf_set_parameter($pdf, resourcefile, /home/www/pdffonts/pdflib.upr);
 and I can muck with that pdflib.upr file and screw it up to cause
 different error messages, so I'm reasonably certain it's getting
 read. :-)

 However, my choices for http://php.net/pdf_findfont seem to be using
 host fonts, not checked (0) -- so they get rendered by the client
 at the time of drawing (more on *that* later), or using winansi and
 checked (1) or host and checked (1) in which case I get my
 choice of error messages like:

 Can't find Outline Font data for Helvetica
 Can't find Font Metrics for Helvetica

 Those are paraphrases, but I could get the precise messages if you
 really need 'em...  And I can't remember which message goes with
 which combination of host/winansi, checked/unchecked, but does it
 really matter?  It can't find the damn Helvetica.afm file, as near as
 I can figure.

 And I've tried some of the other 14 built-in fonts, even ones that
 would be unacceptable in the end, just to see.  No joy in Mudville.
 Oh, and using builtin instead of host or winansi didn't work.
 Not sure I even understand the difference between builtin and
 host anyway...  I forget exactly which of the not-working states it
 generated, but it was the same as one of the ones described herein,
 so let's just skip that for now, okay?

 I get these differences based on my inputs to http://pdf_findfont and
 by altering the pdflib.upr file as noted in the comments within that.
 I've tried so *many* things, none of which work, so I can't be sure,
 but I don't think the path entry in pdflib.upr has any effect
 whatsoever...

 Actually, I think I can break it badly enough to get a different
 error message about an invalid pdflib.pdr file (something about not
 finding the FontAFM section, which comes right after the path
 entry), but any parse-able pathname at all seems to be just as good,
 or should I say just as bad, as the actual path to my fonts
 directory.  Currently, it's set at:

 //home/www/pdffonts

 which is, indeed a valid directory with all my fonts and the
 pdflib.upr file in it, which, as noted above, seems to be getting
 read in.

 NOTE:  The docs in pdflib.upr say that the extra leading / for
 path entry is required by PDF, and that there should be no trailing
 /   Honest.  If you're on a Mac, you'd be using : instead of /
 for all but the first /.

 So, of course, I already tried it without either or both extra front
 and trailing / and it doesn't work.  Doesn't make it any worse, but
 it didn't help either.  :-)  Point is, I'm pretty sure that that
 entry is correct syntactically.

 I've also tried everything up to, and including, chmod 777 on the
 font files and their enclosing directory.  Naturally, after that
 failed, I set them back to something sensible like 664 and owned by
 www:www, the PHP User in httpd.conf who should be the user attempting
 to read these files, right?

 Or does PDFlib actually do chroot or whatever that's called?...  This
 is behind a firewall, not a real web-server, so I could live with
 making these files even root executable and world writable it if
 would just make the darn thing work.  No, it didn't help to make them
 root-owned and chmod 777.  Yes, I was desperate enough to try.  Yes,
 I put them back to something sensible.

 I've even tried swapping in the font files from a PHP-4.2.0-dev + PDF
 3.x server where it works just fine
 (http://uncommonground.com/events.pdf) for my font files, since there
 are minor differences -- CR/LF line

when you re-display user input in a textarea (or as the value

 TEXTAREA NAME=test rows=10 cols=50? echo $test; ?/textarea

should be:

 TEXTAREA NAME=test rows=10 cols=50? echo htmlentities($test); ?/textarea

(you could also probably use CDATA sections and avoid calling
htmlentities(). i haven't tried it, and am skeptical that the various

RE: [PHP] Class question


The whole idea with object-oriented programming is polymorphism and
encapsulation.  You do not want your classes to access global variables but
access that information through objects and messaging between objects.  If
you are referring to the use of non-member as being outside of the class,
then again you want to use objects.  

As for practice, it is up to you.  For me, no...

2002-02-20 Thread Jeff Sheltren


Well, I guess many things are accepted now, but here's my two cents:

I wouldn't access global variables, instead you should pass everything you 
need as parameters.  Using global variables can come back to bite you 
occasionally because you may think you are changing a local variable at one 
point, but you actually change a global variable, and then who knows what 
will happen when you try to access the global variable later in your code 
expecting an int, for example, and it is suddenly a string...

As for using other user defined functions from elsewhere in your code, I 
think it depends on the context...  But think about what if you want to use 
this class elsewhere, then you will always need to copy over whatever file 
contains your other functions.  In that case it would obviously make more 
sense to contain whatever functions are needed inside of the class.

Hope that gives you some ideas.

I'm not sure from your question whether or you understand that the PHP
printer functions only work with printers connected directly to the
server.  They're not for client side printing.  And there are no
equivalent functions for non-Windows platforms.  However I do recall
coming across a Javascript that could open the printer dialog box in the
browser automatically.  A quick search on Usenet should turn up
something.  I'm afraid this about as automated as you're going to get.

?

session_start();

None of these works.  The session file does registered

The code in the first file is correct if register_globals is on. Since it is

Okay... I messed around with things a bit and moved the php stuff to the top
as you suggested. I have part of the validation working however if more than
1 error exists, it still only prints the 1st one.

Below are 2 example places where there would be an error... if I leave them
both blank, they should both give an error message.

$error=array();
if (strlen($username) 3) {
$error['username']=Username must be more than 3 characters;
}
elseif (strlen($password) 3) {
$error['password']=Password must be more than 3 characters;
}


input type=text name=username value=?=$username;?
? if ($error['username']) echo br.$error['username'];?

input type=text name=password value=?=$password;?
? if ($error['password']) echo br.$error['password'];?


Am I assigning errors to the array incorrectly?

 Why do not you all just put all your PHP logic, db access, etc at the TOP
 of the script.  Once you have your results and variables created, then
 start into html.

 This method produces MUCH cleaner scripts, and there is a very minimal
 amount of PHP interspersed within the HTML. Also, you have time to bail
 out, or redirect, etc...

 For tables with unknown number of rows, I have one template of the main

 finally stick the table into the page template.  Very smooth,
 easy to read,
 and no trouble with headers() since all output is done on the last

 bail out to another page, or decide to use other templates and output
 something else.
 
 As for errors, I build an array of the messages such as:
 if (!empty($thatsThere)) {
 $errors[] = Don't put $thatsThere in  there;
 }
 if (empty($userName)) {
$errors[] = Username must be supplied;
 }
 
 Then you can tell if all is okay, with if (is_array($errors)).
 If it is an
 array, then something is wrong, so I  append the array contests into html
 like this:
 foreach($errors as $value) {
