[PHP] Variable Prob
Argh! I hate it when one little annoying thing starts up right when I think I have the coding finished! I have the following code: if($last_name) { printf(%s %s'sbrb%s/bbr%s\n/td,$first_name,$last_name,$year,$color); } else { printf(%s'sbrb%s/bbr%s\n/td,$first_name,$year,$color); } So if the person has a last name in the database, print John Doe's 1990 Red and if they don't, print John's 1990 Red. This is in a while() statement, and it works except that on one particular query, the last record that comes up has a NULL value for the last name, but rather than printing $first_name's it prints $first_name $last_name using the last name of the previous record! Am I missing something there? Do I need to clear out a variable somewhere? It seems like since $last_name isn't even called in the else statement, it shouldn't even be showing up!

Re: [PHP] Variable Prob
It would seem the only way this could happen is if $last_name evaluates to true. Two suggestions: 1) Make some extra change in one of the printf statements so you can see which one is really being called. 2) If that doesn't illuminate anything, show a little more code. miguel On Sat, 11 May 2002, Jason Soza wrote: Argh!

RE: [PHP] Variable Prob
Thanks for the debugging tip... Seems that the 'else' statement wasn't being called at all, so for some reason $last_name was evaluating to true even though there's a NULL entry for that record/field. I used a different query, where a person with a NULL last_name showed up first, and the 'else' statement still wasn't being called but there was no $last_name showing. Anyway, I added ORDER BY last_name to my mysql_query() statement and for some reason the 'else' statements started working. Any ideas on why that would be? I'm glad it works now, but I'm a little confused as to why it works.

[PHP] Problem with new variable system in 4.2
Hi there, I did upgrade to 4.2 and now I am recoding :-( my whole application. So I did get behind the basic idea, but there is one case, where I just dont know how to solve it: Im a doing something similar like on php.net when you type in php.net/functionname. In my .htaccess file I do redirect in case of a 404 to a php page where I do redirect to a page called /profiles/8001.html In the file profiles (which is a php file not a dir) I do grab the 8001.html and extract the 8001 to explode it into parameters. Then I do grab the functionname (or in my case user name) to redirect him to the propper site. In php4.1.1 it worked fine. Now I changed the first function to: $PATH_INFO = $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]; (was $PATH_INFO in 4.1.1) The username was fetched in 4.1.1 with ( I know I have to change this as well): $parameter = explode('/', $REQUEST_URI); $user_name = $parameter[1]; So now I do get as $PATH_INFO the username which is mixing up my whole idea! How can I get both parameters like in good old former times :-) Do u see my trouble?

RE: [PHP] Is This Possible? (Database - PHP)
Yes, it's certainly possible. You will have to talk your host into giving you remote access though, which could be hard. How permissions work in MySQL is that your username is given permission to connect from a specific host. Generally, the host is listed as 'localhost' meaning the script has to be on the same server as MySQL. You can also have '%' as your host, meaning you can connect from anywhere. Or, when your ISP assigns you an IP, the first 2 or 3 octets are generally the same. So you could put something like '123.123.%' or '123.123.123.%' in your host. You hosting provider, if they're any good, will know all about this. It's hard to talk people into giving you access, though, because they are generally pretty paranoid. ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: r [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 12:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Is This Possible?

RE: [PHP] help with sort problem
I actually asked this same type of question not too long ago. Just separate the name field into first_name and last_name - it'll be better in the long run. It's not as hard as it sounds - dump your table, use some program that will read comma delimited stuff and export as tab-delimited (I used Excel), separate the first and last names, modify your table to have the correct columns, clear it, add the data back in (LOAD DATA...) It may require some modification of your scripts you already have, but really it's just much cleaner this way. I didn't want to do it simply because I was lazy and using PHP to do this for me seemed to be the easier choice. It's not, and doing it that way is far from efficient.

RE: [PHP] Search Engine With Boolean Support --Please help
Well, a search engine is not a trivial proposition. If you just have a few hundred records without huge amounts of text, you can build SQL queries and it's no big deal. But if you expect it to scale, you need to turn the problem upside down and index the words. This means you build a table of words and a table that cross-references the word table to your text by saying which word appears at which position in which item. Every time you insert text, you update these other two tables accordingly. Then you can easily query against them to find any combination of words without waiting for it to crawl through all the text in your database. I don't know whether there's available PHP code, but it's a well-understood problem that has been solved countless times before, so you should be able to find a book that breaks it down into pseudocode you can rewrite as PHP. Or maybe you'll find something pre-made. How useful that will be depends on how peculiar your requirements are. miguel On Sat, 11 May 2002, SpamSucks86 wrote: I don't want to use a module though.

Re: [PHP] protecting downloads with php
It can be tricky to write download wrappers that work with all browsers. Some versions of Internet Explorer seem especially troublesome. I've found wrappers like these seem to work fairly well: initialization(); authorization($user,$pw); $info=get_file_info($filepointer); ### SEND HEADERS ### header(Content-Type: .$info[mimetype]); header(Content-Disposition: inline; filename=.$info[filename]); ### NO TEXT CAN BE ECHOED BEFORE HERE ### ### Open the file and display it $fp=fopen($filepath./.$info[filename],r); fpassthru($fp); fclose($fp); ### END A few observations: PHP will complain if you send any text to the browser before calling header() (since HTTP headers can't be sent once the data segment begins). Sometimes this problem can be hard to track down. I've left invisible whitespace after the closing ? tag in a file included above the calls to the header function(). The PHP parser naturally views this whitespace as HTML content and echoes it to the browser. The filename portion of the second header usually points to the name of the file itself without any leading path component. Some versions of Internet Explorer fail to initiate the download unless a separate window is opened. Most modern *nix systems have a mime.types file. A quick scan of one RedHat Linux 7.1 machine finds the Apache mime.types file stored as /etc/mime.types along with some sample mime.types files installed by applications like lynx and mutt. The file is delimited by white space (usually a tab) between the type and list of extensions making it easy to write a function that converts it into an array $mimetype[$extension]. If you collect inbound files by mail (as I do) or by HTTP upload, you'll find the file's MIME type in the session headers. Since most people's mail or web client runs on the same machine as their application, these headers are usually pretty accurate.

If the un and pw has been entered it will then query the database for a valid entry, code is as follows... ?php if ((!$u_name) || (!$p_word)){ header(Location: index.php); exit; } $db_name = authentication; $table_name = accounts; $connection = mysql_connect(localhost,,) or die(Could not connect to Database, please try again later); $db = mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die(Could not select Database, please try again later); $sql = SELECT * from $table_name WHERE u_name = \$u_name\ AND p_wordd = password(\$p_word\); $result = mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die(Couldn't execute query); $num = mysql_numrows($result); if ($num !=0) { $msg = p class=\content\You have been authorized to make changes to the web site./p; session_is_registered('u_name'); session_is_registered('p_word'); session_start(); } else { header(Location: index.php); exit; } ? html body bgcolor=#FF text=#00 ?php echo $msg; ?br ?php print (session_id()); ?br ?php echo $u_name; ?br ?php echo $p_word; ?br ?php print (session_is_registered('u_name')); ?br ?php print (session_is_registered('p_word')); ?br a href=edit.phpedit pages/a /body /html The problem I am having is if the user clicks the link for edit.php the session variables u_name and p_word are not being passed and I can't do any other checking with out that.

RE: [PHP] How can obtain referer's name?
if you have the globals setting in your ini file set to on then you can use: $HTTP_REFERER otherwise, I think, it's found in $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER] - just check for something like that in phpinfo(); Just to be picky, predefined reserved server variables will always exist in both $HTTP_SERVER_VARS and $_SERVER. So, everyone could go through one of these predefined variables regardless of the register_globals value. Of course HTTP_REFERER may or may not exist. And $_SERVER became available in PHP 4.1.0. $HTTP_SERVER_VARS has been around since the 90's :) A related faqt on HTTP_REFERER in PHP can be seen here: Why does $HTTP_REFERER return an empty string? http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/31 So regarding the question, do something like so in script.php print $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; print $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_REFERER']; Personally I love registering server vars in the scope and many times will do this (on top of the script): if (!ini_get('register_globals')) { extract($HTTP_SERVER_VARS); } In this case, it's safe to use $HTTP_REFERER even if register_globals = off as it will then be created.

You can use mysql_insert_id() after each one to get the value of an auto_increment field that was created, and feed that into your next SQL statement. miguel On Mon, 13 May 2002, Peter wrote: I have a table that's full of references to indexs in other tables if I want to insert a new record do I have to make a script to insert into all the tables ie: insert script for table 1 insert script for table 2 insert script for table 3 insert script for table 4 or can I have it all in one insert statement like you can with the SELECT statement ie INSERT INTO table1, table2, table3, table4 (blah, blah1, blah2, blah3, blah4, blah5) VALUES('$blah', '$blah1', '$blah2', '$blah3', '$blah4', '$blah5'); and if i can do it that way how do i get the table referencing the indexes to show the reference number rather than the actual inputted data ie: say table1 is the reference table and table 2 is the table that matches up the username with the real name where i want the actual full information to be stored. eg table 1 id userid 1 10 table 2 id username nameid 10 boo 15 table 3 id name extra fields in here 15 bob Smith now when i add a new record I want table one to be have the new userid added to it table 2 to have the full user name matched to their nameid inserted and table 3 to get the full name of the person... any ideas?

It is definitely a good idea if you don't want corruption. You may find a database is easier in the long run. Do you mean to say that even if it is not compulsory - it is advisable to do so ? Yes, because otherwise you may have processes overwriting each others' data. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You have to do separate inserts...you can't JOIN inserts like that... ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: Peter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2002 8:38 PM To: Php Subject: [PHP] inserting data to mutliple mysql tables Hi, I have a table that's full of references to indexs in other tables if I want to insert a new record do I have to make a script to insert into all the tables ie: insert script for table 1 insert script for table 2 insert script for table 3 insert script for table 4 or can I have it all in one insert statement like you can with the SELECT statement ie INSERT INTO table1, table2, table3, table4 (blah, blah1, blah2, blah3, blah4, blah5) VALUES('$blah', '$blah1', '$blah2', '$blah3', '$blah4', '$blah5'); and if i can do it that way how do i get the table referencing the indexes to show the reference number rather than the actual inputted data ie: say table1 is the reference table and table 2 is the table that matches up the username with the real name where i want the actual full information to be stored. eg table 1 id userid 1 10 table 2 id username nameid 10 boo 15 table 3 id name extra fields in here 15 bob Smith now when i add a new record I want table one to be have the new userid added to it table 2 to have the full user name matched to their nameid inserted and table 3 to get the full name of the person... any ideas?
