[PHP] Re: POST form variables not being sent to destination page
On the PHP Bug board, I managed to find that it was to do with the Apache configuration settings, namely, you should put AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 instead of; FilesMatch \.php$ SetOutputFilter PHP /FilesMatch in the httpd.conf file. This took ages to find and was only posted within that last few days on the PHP bug board, hope it helps you with your elusive first POST variable. Whow, thanks man. It works like a webserver should work. All my problems are gone, even the huge POST problem I've had (bug #19263).

[PHP] Re: changing session name
I want to change the default session name 'PHPSESSID' to say ex. 'seid'.
How can I do this without editing to the php.ini since I'm having a site

Try putting this at the start of your scripts:

Henry wrote: It didn'ti work ;-( Just showed a page with the data in! How would I do it with a file in any case? You can give the PHP script the extension .csv and use AddType application/x-httpd-php .csv to your httpd.conf or .htaccess file. If you want to use a temporary file, you should use something like $string = 'a, b, c, d, e, f'; $fp = fopen( 'tempfile.csv', 'w' ); fwrite( $fp, $string ); fclose( $fp ); After file creation you should redirect the user to the .csv file. The problem here is that you cannot delete the temporary file afterwards. My first option is the one I'm using myself. You can't put all your faith in header(Content-disposition: filename=$fnsave); because most browsers won't understand it (and ignore it). If you give your php file the .csv extension, then no browser can ignore it. They think it's a normal .csv file, which should be opened with (for instance) Excel...

It was worth $150 for us to buy the ASP component (I think we used ABCUpload, maybe?). The development time required for a creative PHP solution -- and one that might not have worked as well -- would have been dramatically more expensive than the almost out-of-the-box solution with ASP's components. (And much of the site was already written in ASP.) Other than that, you'll get know argument from me about ASP vs. PHP.

Now I haven't given this much thought, but maybe it could be done. The largest problem that I see is the communication back and forth between client and server. The server would have to know the original size of the file at the point the upload is started, then it would be checked for original_size minus bits_uploaded, flush the reults to the IFRAME drawing a GD graph, and continue to do this as it went on. Another method is to start the upload with a non-progressive animation that quits when is_upload_file() returns true.

[PHP] Populating Other People's Forms
I would like to write a script that would populate someone else's form on the net and get the results. Off hand, I imagine I would use fopen() to open up the web page and pass some variables to it. The problem I have is that the form I want to populate is a multi-step CGI. Is this possible? How do I continue to pass variables to a second or third step, sending variables passed on what the form says to do next (which is predictable)? This is considering I do not have the cooperation of the web site I am trying to fill out the form for step by step, and I would like to write this so it is done in a behind-the-scenes, automated way. For example: A customer registered with me could ask for a product. My 'agent' would go to the site where the product is sold, login, submit all of the appropriate information for purchase and shipment, and then come back with (hopefully) a success message (along with any pertinent information from the purchase).

I have a form field that people enter in information and I want to force phone entries to XXX-XXX-.

Re: [PHP] random array sort -- array() selection quant??
Thanks all for you submissions. This is what I came up with, where $this_key is a random selection from the array $the_exploded_ids. I don't know why, but, array_rand() won't work with selection quanity parameter of less than 2. Anybody know why? srand ((float) microtime() * 1000); $input = $the_exploded_ids; $rand_keys = array_rand ($the_exploded_ids, 2); $this_key=$input[$rand_keys[0]]; $this_key=trim($this_key); ROBERT MCPEAK [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/10/02 10:22AM Could someone show me a quick and simple way to randomly sort array elements?

Here's a short article that shows how to write a function to validate an
ausie phone number (2nd example). Should be easy to modify to suit.
perhaps using something like
ereg([0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$, $phoneNum);

Fw: [PHP] mysql query
Try mysql_result(); in place of that entire while() loop.

Also there's no reason for you to use mysql_free_result() unless you're
going to be performing multiple massive SELECTS before the script exits.

Re: [PHP] Need more memory... possible to set?
Several ways:
(1) PHP still reads a php.ini file, so you could set it there; try a
php -i | grep php.ini
to find out where the commandline php thinks it is (and/or do
php -i | grep memory_limit
to find the default memory limit setting.
(2) You can set it at execution time via the -d command option:
php -d memory_limit=20M -f yourprogram.php
(3) Set it in your program with the ini_set() command:

[PHP] Help, Parse error caused by quotes andapostrophes in function, How do I fix this?
The following is the format needed in order to run the convert command from
command line, but I have a problem in exec() format:
convert picture.jpg -font Arial-Bold -pointsize 20 -fill red -gravity
southeast -draw text 10,10 'my text to add to picture' text-overlay.jpg
this causes problems Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING:
exec('convert picture.jpg -font Arial-Bold -pointsize 20 -fill red -gravity
southeast -draw text 10,10 'my text to add to picture' text-overlay.jpg');
I am positive the it is due to all the s and 's within the command, I have
tried the specialchars for quotes andapostrophes but I am still missing
something:
exec('convert picture.jpg -font Arial-Bold -pointsize 20 -fill red -gravity
southeast -draw quottext 10,10 \'my text to add to picture\'quot
text-overlay.jpg');
If anyone has any ides on how to avoid probles with quotes andapostrophes
inside the exec() I am all ears :o)

Re: [PHP] dropdown Newbie question
Hi Mario,
you can set error_reporting to E_ALL to give you more hints to
bugs and to produce clean code.
You are having two problems. The first was related to your form
and has been addressed by Yasin.
The second is that you have autoglobals off. That means you have
to use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. BTW: You could have found this
error by reading about predefined variables, PHP_SELF in the

RE: [PHP] ODBC text file connection problem
So this code:
$odbc = odbc_connect(cvalcoinput,,) OR die(There is an error connecting to the
CSV file.);
$result = odbc_tables($odbc);
while(odbc_fetch_into($result, $fields)){
for ($i = 0; $i sizeof($fields); $i++) {
echo $fields[$i] . br;
}
}
Derives the following results:
D:\INETPUB\CVALCO\INCLUDE\INPUT
inputfile.txt
TABLE
Which makes sense. Those are the contents of the array returned by odbc_tables. Now
try to use odbc_exec and I run into my problems. This article on the microsoft KB
seems to suggest under text driver limitations that I should be able to run select
statements using the odbc_exec command.

I think that you need to have $fields in your fetch_into statement.

[PHP] Re: Escape characters won't go away
Well, I appreciate your input. But the backslashes are (well, were) there. And I wasn't putting them in. Here's what the sequence was: If you leave the default of Magic Quotes on in php.ini, you are adding the backslashes on every GET/POST/COOKIE data element as it comes in. I have a form that an administrator fills out to send an email newsletter. Magic Quotes will add one set of backslashes at that point, for the POST which it assumes you are putting into a database, since that's what 90% of PHP scripts do. Take GET/POST data, stuff it into a database. The form has a confirmation page that it submits to. At this point the At this point, you are writing out an HTML page with the extra set of backslashes that Magic Quotes added. You should have stripslashes() on the data that you dump out to the confirmation page. Also, use htmlentities to convert any HTML special characters to their HTML character entities so they don't mess up your HTML. admin either goes back to make changes or submits the text and subject to be sent out as a newsletter. It is on this page that the data gets stuck into Now, on *this* page, the Magic Quotes is actually helping you, since you can stuff the data into the database and it's already had the addslashes done to it. Magic Quotes essentially just calls addslashes on every GET/POST/COOKIE datum *for* you. the database (mysql). If the user hits 'send email' button the next page retrieves the data from the database, and sends out emails based on what it gets in the database, after a call to stripslashes. What was coming in the If you have correctly managed your data throughout the application path from input to MySQL, then once you have inserted your data to MySQL, there should be no bogus/extra backslashes in it. You should *NOT* need, in general, to call stripslashes on data coming *out* of MySQL. If you do, you did something wrong a long, long time ago when you inserted it or collected it. mail had three! backslash characters behind everything mysql had escaped. More stripslashes calls did nothing, the ereg_replaces you reviewed did nothing. Oddly, the solution turned out to be $text = ereg_replace([\\]+, , $text); While I'm happy this works for you, it's a very grungy hack that only masks the real problem, which is described above. which would seem to me to be functionally equivalent to either of the calls that didn't work, but somehow PHP liked it better. The data you gave on why \\ wouldn't work as a regex didn't quite make sense to me, as PHP turning that into \ was exactly what I was looking for. Theoretically, that You had \\ and \\, both of which are incorrect. By enclosing the \\ inside of [], Regex apparently automatically understands that you mean the character \ rather than treating \ as special, which is does if you have just \. Your original \\ in PHP turns into \ in Regex, as I described. And \\ turns into \\\ in the same way. should then match every \ character in the string, but it didn't manage to find any - in fact it just gave the error message, and I still don't know why. Why wouldn't PHP then just match the \ characters? Doesn't make sense. \ is a special character in PHP strings. When you have \ in PHP, it's just inherently wrong though you can get away with it. But if you have \\ it turns into \ internally. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php \ is *ALSO* a special character in Regex. So if you want to get *ONE* \ in Regex, you need in PHP. And I'm frankly still a bit of a loss as to where they came from in the first place. Perhaps HTML added a set, then PHP escaped those, then mysql figured it had better escape them all. I don't know. I tried turning magic_quotes off for the script's execution, but this did not cut down on the number. Before the initial call to stripslashes() there were actually SIX of them in a row, stripslashes() cut that to 3, but then refused to shave them further. If changing Magic Quotes to off only lost half the \'s, then you almost for sure have an addslashes in your code *SOMEWHERE*. It might be buried in some database class you are using, but it's there. Why? Ya got me. I know why. Perhaps this time around you'll actually me... -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Questions regarding inserting and updating data into a MySQL db
Hi, I'm developing a web application that uses forms for user input and then after each form is filled shows something like Welcome Bob to our site ... bla. bla... inserts data in a table and on the same page continues with the rest of the data, and goes to another form and so on. I have no problems inserting the data from the first form in the table,display the personalized message, and then connect to the mySQL db, my problem is some fields in the table which must be filled are null in this first instance, and then on the second form they are filled, but my I don´t know how can I fill the gaps and leave all the data in one row, because the first field auto increments, and I'm worriedthe data instead of filling one row spreads accross two or three. i.e First: Bob Last: Evans //user submits form ///On the second form says "Welcome Bob Evans and congratulations ... bla bla ..." // inserts data into table // Then asks for more data Address : Somewhere 555 Ocupation: Something // user submits form // data is inserted into the table and the gaps are filled or is updated ? here is what I don't know if data is still on the same row and effectively filled the gaps, or it is inserted into another road ... using insert or update ?

RE: [PHP] Strore Data in File
Example (not tested)
$fp = fopen('file.csv', 'r'); // open file for reading
while ($data = fgetcsv ($fp, 1000, ,)) { // read each line of file
if ($data[1] == $key) { // determine if key matches the current row
$name = $data[1]; // assign information to variables
break; // quit the while loop and continue the script
}
}
Where $name = $data[1] is where you would assign the information to
variables or an array or call a function with the parameters you want.
This is going to be considerably slower than using a database server.

Re: [PHP] Populating Other People's Forms
It sounds like you need to look into using cURL. It helps with automated posting. Now, you need to first determine whether the forms in question use a method of get or post before deciding how to proceed. If they use get, you can simply use a series of fopen() calls with the appropriate parameters on the URL. If they use post, you should look at cURL to see if it will handle your needs. Happy hacking.

really great but I can't make it work. The answer I more or less show me a
great way to create a stats page,
ex. SELECT feild1, field2, COUNT(*) FROM tables GROUP BY category, format.
But my problem is I can't get count to show. I can get two of the fields.
Below is the PHP program that I am wanting to run. How can I get count to
show? Thanks.

$db = mysql_connect('localhost','user','passwd');
mysql_select_db('media',$db);
$result =mysql_query(SELECT category, format, COUNT(*) FROM library GROUP
BY category, format,$db);
if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
// display list if there are no records to display
do {
printf(%s %s %sbr, $myrow[category], $myrow[format],
$myrow[count]);
} while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));
} else {
// no record to display
echo 'Sorry no records were found!';

[PHP] reading email from stdin
I am working on code that will allow me to read email that is directed to a PHP script (via .forward files) for various purposes, as part of an integrated Intranet project. I have hacked a bit at it and came up with code that works for the tests I can throw at it, but I'm not confident enough with my understanding of SMTP to put my code into live use. The most difficult part I've had is preserving the headers so that they can be individually edited but also reconstructed to forward the mail to another address. My question then, is: - does anyone know of any code libraries that exhibit the kind of functionality I'm talking about (the ability to read a mail message from stdin and store it in variables or as an object) Or, if there is no such code already written - is there anyone on this list who is very familiar with SMTP and would be willing to look over my code and point out all the things I am probably to be missing? Thanks - Matt Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS - Having posed that question, I decided to go look at the source for Mailman and Majordomo before I sent it. It seems they both use a C wrapper for running the scripts that receive mail. Does anyone know why that is - security? Performance? Or something else... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Apache compile
Hello,
I am currently working on compilling php as both a cgi ands
as an apache module on the same server. The cgi compile,
which I did first with ./configure --with-ldap={ldap dir}
--with-mysql, went jsut fine.
However, when I try to compile it as an apache module, both
as ./configure --with-ldap={ldap dir} --with-mysql
--with-apxs or ./configure --with-ldap={ldap dir}
--with-mysql --with-apache={src}, I get errors when trying
to load a page.
The following is my php file I try to open in a browser
called phpinfo.php
php?
echo hi;
?
And this generates the following error:
warning: failed opening '/usr/web/phpinfo.php' for inclusion
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0
Any help would be great.

RE: [PHP] Help getting count to show up.
ex. SELECT feild1, field2, COUNT(*) FROM tables GROUP BY category, format. Try this instead: SELECT field1, field2, COUNT(*) AS field3 FROM TABLS GROUP BY category,format Now you'll find your count is available as 'field3'.

RE: [PHP] Apache compile
Did you delete the config.cache file in the PHP directory after the
first configure, make, make install, and make clean commands?
Did you add the appropriate info into apache's httpd.conf file so that
is knows what .php files are and what to parse them with?
Did you add the appropriate command to the top of your PHP page that
will be run through as a CGI ( #!/usr/local/bin/php || that should not
be inside of any PHP tags...just at the tip top of your page)?
Answering these questions will help us solve your problem.

[PHP] Dependent Dropdown Boxes
The Situation:
I'm trying to create a pair of dynamic dropdown boxes where the options in
the second box are dependent on the selection in the first box. I call the
first box categories and the second, subcategories. I want to store the
categories and subcategories in a mysql table(s) so that a user can
dynamically update them. Currently, I have a single table called
categories, with columns: id, category, and subcategory.
The primary code for selecting the options for the second box is in
javascript. This code makes use of the following datasets for storing the
various categories and subcategories. If I can get php to generate this
text, then the dependent boxes will work.
datasets=new Array();
datasets[0]=Category1,subCategory1_1,subCategory1_2,subCategory1_3,subCateg
ory1_4.split(,);
datasets[1]=Category2,subCategory2_1,subCategory2_2,subCategory2_3.split(
,);
datasets[2]=Category3,subCategory3_1, subCategory3_2,
subCategory3_3,subCategory3_4,subCategory3_5.split(,);
datasets[3]=Category4,subCategory4_1,subCategory4_2,subCategory4_3,subCateg
ory4_4.split(,);
datasets[4]=Category5,subCategory5_1,subCategory5_2,subCategory5_3,subCateg
ory5_4,subCategory5_5,subCategory5_6.split(,);
etc
The Problem:
Using the following code I can get php to print the results, but only in a
line-by-line, category/subcategory format. Of course, this is NOT what is
needed. Each subcategory name should be on the same line as its associated
category.
?php
$dbConnect = mysql_connect(localhost, root, pwd);
mysql_select_db(new_kb,$dbConnect);
$sql = SELECT * from categories;
$result = mysql_query($sql);
for ($count = 1; $row = mysql_fetch_row ($result); ++$count)
{
print brdatasets[$count]=\;
print $row[1],;
print $row[2]\;
}
?
datasets[0]=Category1,subCategory1_1
datasets[1]=Category1,subCategory1_2
datasets[2]=Category1,subCategory1_3
datasets[3]=Category1,subCategory1_4
datasets[4]=Category2,subCategory2_1
datasets[5]=Category2,subCategory2_2
etc
Can someone explain how to write the php code to output the category and
subcategory names from the mysql table to match the javascript format above.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

[PHP] Confusing array question ...
Hi, I have 1 primary array called $item containing 20 values each of whose
value is part of the name of 20 other arrays containing various number of
values. How can I cycle through the primary $item array using a foreach and
within that do a for on each of the 20 secondary arrays dynamically
inserting each of the 20 secondary array names based on the value of the
current primary $item array. Something like the following which obviously
does not work.
?php
foreach($item as $value) {
// do some stuff
for($i=0; $icount($beginning_of_array_name_always_the_same . $value .
end_of_array_name_always_the_same); $i++) {
// do some stuff
}
}
?
I am trying to avoid doing something like the following ...
?php
foreach($item as $value) {
// do some stuff
if($value == 'red'){
$array = $temp_red_file;
} elseif ($value == 'green'){
$array = $temp_green_file;
// and so on for all 20 possibilities
}
for($i=0; $icount($array); $i++) {
// do some stuff

Re: [PHP] Verify phone format?
The problem you have is that not all phone numbers share that format... mine for example (Australia) is 61 3 (that is, CountryCode, State, Exchange, Number). So it depends on who will fill out your form... if you're talking international, you may want to think twice. It never ceases to frustrate me when global sites (usually based in the US I've found) tend to think that their way is the only way. Countless times where the the number format of phone numbers wouldn't let me enter my number correctly, or the state abbreviation was only 2 chars (Australia is 3, eg VIC), only allowing me to select a US state (no other option) -- but still allowing me to select Australia from the country list, etc etc. The best way to make people conform is to break the number into multiple boxes, for country code, area code, and number. You can then join them with a -, and even do some small manipulations on the last one (eg putting a - after 4 chars, or whatever), check they're all filled out, and then insert the completed, correctly formatted number into the database :) Cheers, Justin PS there might be a class to validate to a correct international number format, which MAY give you what you want. on 11/09/02 1:30 AM, Jeff Lewis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Just wondering what the best way to validate an entered phone format is?

there a way to have a variable in a function have a default setting if the variable
passed to the function is VOID?

}

function myFunction($name, $phone, $zip=){

}
and then $zip will have a value of if $zip is VOID for some reason...?
I thought it was something like this, but I keep batting ZERO and there is no mention
of this problem in the places I looked in the docs.

Re: [PHP] Questions regarding inserting and updating data into aMySQL db
You should search for some SQL tutorials on the Web. What it sounds like you are looking for is the update SQL statement which modifies an existing row (for your second form, for example).

G'day all... $variable = joe blow; How can I automatically make $variable = Joe Blow; The value's obviously dynamic, so I need to capitalise each letter of each word in the var. Any ideas? For those of you who read my previous post, you may have worked out what I'm doing ;-) Cheers, Liam -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Don't read if easily offended...
Give a man a day at home sick with nothing to do, and you get some... Interesting results... http://bill.clinton.fuckedyourmum.com/ Try your mate's name in there... =) Thank's for everyone's help in producing this absolutely useless masterpiece!

Re: [PHP] Don't read if easily offended...
You should check to make sure the variable isn't empty. And if it is put some other name in there (like Bill Clinton). Cuz if you go to just http://fuckedyourmum.com, you just get: fucked your Mum!!! for text.

Re: [PHP] subdomain
Grab the $SERVER_NAME environmental variable. Then parse the variable using explode on the period in the domain name. Count the number of elements in the array. and selcct the element you want to use /dkm - Original Message - From: Liam MacKenzie [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: php [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 8:55 PM Subject: [PHP] subdomain G'day everyone, I have a dilemma... I'm running BIND locally, with a wildcard A record. That means that if someone goes to http://somebullshit.mydomain.com/ they'll get my page up. What I want to do is catch that subdomain into a variable... Is there a PHP global that can get that? So, if someone goes to http://liam.mydomain.com/, the page will echo Hello Liam Any ideas guys?

Re: [PHP] subdomain
Thanks, I tried that but I couldn't get it to work. It only returned fuckedyourmum.com without the subdomain. I used $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] instead.
