[PHP] Upgraded, now sessions aren't working. Please help :)
Something catastrophic happened to my webserver and while I had the data of the database and site content backed up, I'm having trouble getting it all back up and working. Prior to the server crash I was using Apache 1.3.2x (can't remember exactly) and PHP 4.1.x (not sure on this one either, last time I upgraded was a few months ago). Everything was working perfectly. I was using a lot of start_session(), session_is_registered(), etc...session stuff. Now I've compiled PHP 4.2.1 and tried both Apache 1.3.24 and Apache 2.0.36 and got them up and working (for the most part). But everything that has sessions in it is screwed. Just hangs, no error, just hangs. Is there something I need to set in either php.ini or httpd.conf to get sessions working again? I've read that there are other, more preferred ways to do sessions now, and I'm going to start porting to that, but right now I need to get the server up. Can anyone offer me some advice? I've been doing this for years now and I feel like I'm losing my mind...I must just be overlooking something.

[PHP] parsing CSV, updating MySQL table
Hi, I have a client with an Excel file of products / prices / etc. For arguments sake, let's keep it simple: id,title,description if they were to export this as a CSV, then it could be used to update a mysql table (for existing ID's), and to insert any new ID's. So, I guess what I'm after is a group of functions which parse a CSV file, and update a MySQL table to match... rather than messing around in a web based GUI, the client could just upload a new CSV every couple of days. I've checked out fgetcsv() etc, and I *think* i've got a picture of how the code would look, but before I start, I figure a set of functions probably already exists out there to do this... so why reinvent the wheel If anyone can point me to a URL, class, function, article, etc, I'd be pretty happy :) Justin French -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: $answers[answer$n]
answers$n. php tries to concate the constant answers with the variable
$n, but you forgot the concatenation operator ..
i assume that answers should be a string and
is not a constant, therefore $answer[answers.$n] is right.
if answers is a constant use $answer[answers.$n];
but a better way of what you try to accomplish would be a array
using two dimensions:
$answer[answers][$n]
$answer[question][$n] ...etc
or if you only have answers as key use:
$answer[$n]
if you want to send form data as array, using more than one dimension,
do the following:
input type=text name=answers[answer][1] value=
input type=text name=answers[answer][2] value=
input type=text name=answers[answer][3] value=
or
input type=text name=answers[answer][] value=
input type=text name=answers[answer][] value=
input type=text name=answers[answer][] value=
Which is pretty much the same.
now on the processing page you can do:
ForEach($answers as $val) {
Foreach ($val as $answer) {
// do something with one of the answers
}
}

Parse error: parse error, expecting `']'' in

the variable $answer[answers$n] comes from a form on the preceding page in
which a number of answers has been entered. the number of answers is up to
the user and can vary from 2 to 15. not the $n comes from a for loop whcih
enteres the answers into a database since i do not know how many answers
each
user has used.
why am i getting this error?
and is there a way around it?
following is the for() loop in which this story takes place.

This doesn't have a huge amount to do with PHP but,
I have the following code for my SQL query:
$query = SELECT code FROM links WHERE sort_text = $letter*;
I get an error.
What I want to do is be able to specify a letter and have the rest be undefined eg
if $letter was t
I would get TecEco, Tiny, and Trailer
and if $letter was b I would get Basket and Ball.
Could any one show me the correct syntax off their heads?JJ Harrison

Goody another easy to answer one :) no harm intended.. it's a perfectly good question Okay first is it sorted how you want? if so you can use the LIMIT start,len feature of mysql.. for example: select * from table_name order by col_name limit 5,10 will select records 5 to 15 (5+10) if of course there are 10 more to collect otherwise it will just return whatever it finds from the select that is ordered by col_name.. quite simple.. ::: : Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] : A.K.A.

well personally I have never had a good time with mysql_num_rows.. dunno why.. never seemed to have worked the way it should for me.. anyway point is if it works for you good, otherwise do what I do to get a rowcount and just: $sql_count=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query(SELECT count(*) FROM table_name,$DB)); and then you can just refer to it via $sql_count[0]... anyways after that it depends.. what do you want to do? if for example you want a page listing system in which you have say 1000 records and you want to display only 30 per page or something and users can browse through by hitting prev page and next page etc.. that's easy to do... just be more specific on what you want to do.. ::: : Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] : A.K.A.

Re: [PHP] Bundled php mysql library vs mysql extension
Nope, it isn't faster. You should use your own if you have one installed on your machine. Chances are your will match your server better than the bundled one.

We bundled one so that the default PHP install will always be able to talk to a remote MySQL server and because we got tired of answering the dozens of mysql_connect undefined function questions we got every day. -Rasmus On Sat, 18 May 2002, Pentothal wrote: Which are the differences between the php bundled mysql library and the external standard extension?

RE: [PHP] Feelin' dumb...
Thanks everyone for your help on this, this is the final code:
if ($num_pages = 2) {
for ($i=0, $p=1; $i$num_pages; $i++, $p++) {
$j = ($i==0) ? $i : $j+20;
printf(| a href=\test.php?type=allpage=%s\Page
%s/a | ,
$j, $p);
}
}
Because of the way MySQL uses LIMIT, I found that using LIMIT 1, 20 and
LIMIT 21, 20 leaves out the 1st and 20th records. So I had to change $i to 0
to get them back. However, this left me with Page 0 | Page 1 - not cool,
so I added $p into the loop, but started it at 1 so I'd have a variable to
use for correct page numbers.
Oh and I had to change $i=$num_pages to just $i$num_pages because with
$i=0, I was getting an extra iteration. What a learning experience!
Thanks again,

The 20 is inserted into a MySQL LIMIT query. Page 1 = LIMIT 1,20 to get
the
first 20 records from 1, then Page 2 = LIMIT 21,20 to get the next 20,
etc.
I think I see the error here.

$number = ($i * 20) + 1;
printf(| a href=\test.php?page=%s\Page %s/a | , $number,

Is ALMOST right... Except that the I need the first iteration to return 1.
In this case, it returns 21, so the next iteration is 41. Follow me? I
need
1, 21, not 21, 41. Almost there I think, unfortunately, I need to jet.

[PHP] Using PHP for NULLs
I thought this was a MySQL question, or something that could be solved using a creative SQL string, but after looking through the MySQL manual, I don't think I can handle this with the database alone. According to the manual, MySQL always sorts NULL values first - I want them last. I have a last_name field that sometimes contains people's last names, sometimes they choose not to enter their last names. I want those who don't enter a last name to end up last on the list. Right now I have: $result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM new_miatapix ORDER BY last_name LIMIT $page, 20); Am I going to have to do two queries here, then store them somehow using an array? It seems like I'm going to have to do one query to get all NULL values for last_name, then do another query to get all NOT NULL values for last_name, but how would I handle that after I get it to PHP? Or can I use some PHP function to sort $result to place all NULL values last? I'd check the PHP manual, but it seems to not be responding well at the moment.

Thanks SP and Richard, Well, I tested it and it works fine with sessions, without serializing it. The only problem with sending it through GET url strings is that you can only send about 255 characters of data through to the next page.

Well what I normally do to pass very large arrays through strings.. when NOT using sessions, I use serialize, but it sounds like you didn¹t want to serialize..

[PHP] Re: Using PHP for NULLs
I do believe it is a MySql question!! What's wrong with the old standard way as: $result = mysql_query( SELECT *, if (last_name is NULL,'zzz end',last_name) as last_name_sort FROM new_miatapix ORDER BY last_name_sort LIMIT $page, 20); Good Luck.. HTH.. Dan.. === Jason Soza wrote: I thought this was a MySQL question, or something that could be solved using a creative SQL string, but after looking through the MySQL manual, I don't think I can handle this with the database alone. According to the manual, MySQL always sorts NULL values first - I want them last. I have a last_name field that sometimes contains people's last names, sometimes they choose not to enter their last names. I want those who don't enter a last name to end up last on the list. Right now I have: $result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM new_miatapix ORDER BY last_name LIMIT $page, 20); Am I going to have to do two queries here, then store them somehow using an array? It seems like I'm going to have to do one query to get all NULL values for last_name, then do another query to get all NOT NULL values for last_name, but how would I handle that after I get it to PHP? Or can I use some PHP function to sort $result to place all NULL values last? I'd check the PHP manual, but it seems to not be responding well at the moment.

RE: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings
Okay let me clarify, if I had an array like this I
would just use sessions this way:
$myarray = array( array('1', '2'),
array('3', '4') );
$_SESSION['myarray'] = serialize($myarray);
Then you can use the array on any page the user
goes to by doing this:
$myarray = unserialize($_SESSION['myarray']);

Thanks SP and Richard,
Well, I tested it and it works fine with sessions,
without serializing
it. The only problem with sending it through GET
url strings is that you
can only send about 255 characters of data through
to the next page. I
was just looking to see how others pass their
array values through their
URLs. So far sessions is a winner, but maybe
there's another way. Like
what Richard suggested. But that method seems too
time consuming and

enumerated arrays. Just need

RE: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings
Well Rick, Let's say I had a form with a text box and an textarea box. The text box won't contain that many strings, but the textarea box can contain thousands of characters, if the user wished to write that much. Both of the fields will be contained in a single array. If I send this array through a GET string, it will only pass 255 characters through to the next page, and the rest of the content will be cut out of the picture as if it never existed. Then, I thought maybe sessions would do the trick, and it does a great job so far. So now I'm stuck with the idea that using sessions to pass arrays, in the particular situation, would be the best thing to do. But, out of curiousity, I wanted to know how other people sent their arrays back and forth from one page to another. That's all :) Thanks for your patience, I really appreciate it. -Original Message- From: Richard Baskett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2002 2:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; PHP General Subject: Re: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings Well what I normally do to pass very large arrays through strings.. when NOT using sessions, I use serialize, but it sounds like you didn¹t want to serialize..

Re: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings
Well you can serialize an array using the serialize function then pass it through the url then unserialize it on the next page using the unserialize function. If you check out http://www.php.net/serialize it will give you some examples. It is quite similar to sessions in that sessions also serialize the data, but there are subtle differences. You will need to use a couple other functions with serialize when passing through the URL, but that is documented on the page I just gave you :) If you have any other questions concerning it please do not hesitate to ask me :) Rick Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you; until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire; until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy. - Napolean Hill From: SP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 18 May 2002 16:35:00 -0400 To: Richard Baskett [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], PHP General [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings Rick, what exactly do you mean by using serialization without sessions? how do you do that? -Original Message- From: Richard Baskett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: May 18, 2002 4:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; PHP General Subject: Re: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings Hey no problem..

Re: [PHP] random order by id
If you are using MySQL try looking at this page for the function rand(): http://www.mysql.com/doc/M/a/Mathematical_functions.html Here's a little overview of what it says: In MySQL Version 3.23, you can, however, do: SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY RAND() This is useful to get a random sample of a set SELECT * FROM table1,table2 WHERE a=b AND cd ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1000. Note that a RAND() in a WHERE clause will be re-evaluated every time the WHERE is executed. RAND() is not meant to be a perfect random generator, but instead a fast way to generate ad hoc random numbers that will be portable between platforms for the same MySQL version. Cheers!

For one thing, your regex doesn't match any definition of website
address that I've ever seen.
Look up the spec for URLs at http://www.w3.org/Addressing/ .
In the very least, you should not arbitrarily exclude valid domains just
because the last part is not 2 or 3 characters - what about .info,
.museum, etc.? And what's the for?
As for your error, I'd guess it's because you wrote [0-9a-z-\.] rather
than [0-9a-z\-\.] (escaping the -).

[PHP] Re: Register_Shutdown_Function ??
It doesn't matter. I'm setting the output *not* to the browser, but to the
command shell, where I am running the script from. If you look at the
errors, you'll see 2 of them, one points to line 7, where the IF() command
is -- the script terminates there...
I've put error_log() and exec() functions in place of the print()
function -- it doesn't make a difference -- the script just won't execute
the function in the register_shutdown_function() --
The following script works great (see below) -- it seems that for some
reason its a TIMEOUT issue (bug).
Running the script below, I will get the output of the print() function --
as stated, from the command line. I understand that it wouldn't show up in
the browser.
If I replace the exit; command with say a while(1); where the script
will loop indefinitely, the timeout, set by the set_time_limit(1) will stop
the script, but again -- register_shutdown_function() seems to want to
work as the function IS CALLED, but NEVER executed, and instead errors on
the 1st line in the FUNCTION -- always on a TIMEOUT.
Run this script from your command line (ie. C:php test.php) -- then change
the set_time_limit(30) to set_time_limit(1), and replace the exit with
a while(1) -- run the script again, you'll see what I mean.
And, if you still don't believe me, replace the print() in the function with
error_log('Script Terminated', 3, 'errorlog.txt'); and see if the
errorlog.txt file is ever created -- it isn't.
?
set_time_limit(30);
function clean_up()
{
print(Script Terminated);
}
register_shutdown_function(clean_up);
exit;
?
If anyone can offer any reason why its doing this, please help -- thanks.

[PHP] Augmenting an old date

[PHP] bug in SLEEP() function...
Dunno if this has been mentioned or fixed in the latest release (I'm using PHP version 4.1.1) -- but, a script will not timeout until the sleep() function has finished it's duration -- for example: In my script, if I set set_time_limit(30) -- then later in the script I call a sleep(45) -- the script will not timeout until 45 seconds later, from the point at which the sleep() function was called. Now, being a conscious programmer -- I'd probably never set my sleep() function to exceed my default or defined timeout setting. However, the sleep value can be set via a $var -- and depending on what functions are performed -- I can see how, when a programmer wants his script to timeout within a certain amount of time and then it doesn't; can cause a problem -- in-fact, I can foree some sort of sleep-attack whereby a malicious hacker figures out that a particular script on a particular website has a dynamic $var for the sleep() function -- then s/he writes a script which calls the page many times --- injecting the $var (say for example: http://www.whateverweb.goo/home.php?t=65536, where $t is the time $var in the script; sleep($t); Effectively; in this case, the scripts won't timeout for 18 some hours.

'start_date' and 'expiry_date'. What I cannot seem

Re: [PHP] Augmenting an old date
Hi You need to use the strtodate function which converts to a time stamp a date string and you can offset it by a number of days or whatever something like this ? $start = 2002-01-01; $expire = date(Y-m-d,strtotime(+30 days,strtotime($start))); echo $expire.br; ?

Pretty much common sense, right? How about something like this:
// $timestamp1 = starting date (unix timestamp)
// $timestamp2 = ending date (unix timestamp)
// $weekday = day we're counting (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, etc.)
function weekdaysBetween ($timestamp1, $timestamp2, $weekday)
{
return floor(intval(($timestamp2 - $timestamp1) / 86400) / 7)
