It looks to me like the database is interpreting your date 
incorrectly.  Try changing the format you use to insert, -mm-dd

Hi!

I have web-form, which has field (10 chars), there I enter date (format
dd.mm.). Then data saves to database (date-field type is date).

So everything works, but not fine. When I enter date in format ex.
31.12.2002 and save form, then I'll check what are in db (there are
2031-12-20).

Is there any chance to correct this problem.

I have (in clause which insert to db):

GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['date'], date)

Why can't you just reformat it before inserting it into the db?

 $parts = split(\., $date);

Does anyone know how to add a line describing charset in vbulletin?

[PHP] Cry for help


I need to learn PHP and databases. If I had those skills, I would be so much
more succesful with my web designs. What I usually do, is make the html
templates, and then hire someone, usually expensively, to do the PHP and
MySQL bankend.

Unfortunately, my programming skill is ZERO. Ok, maybe not zero, I do have a
little bit of PERL experience, but it mainly comes in the form of
downloading prewritten scripts, and lots of trial and error in editing them
using common sense and drawing on my experience of BASIC which I learned
when I was 6 years old!

I have browsed hours on the net looking for help in this sort of thing. I
have downloaded programs, I have read hours of documents and manuals, and
still, I am no further along than where I started. Programming and databases
are more of a mystery to me than women are. I'm absolutely CLUELESS.

So basically, I need to learn this stuff as soon as humanly possible, but I
have NO IDEA where to start. Let me tell you first what I have done thusfar.

First thing I did was download something called mySQL Max version 3.23.49
directly from the website of mysql. I was under the impression that this
program would be something along the lines of MS Access in the standpoint of
user interface, and it would allow you to create tables etc. (I do know how
to create some rudimentary tables in MS Access). So after I installed this
program, I clicked on the icon to start it, and to my surprise, the only
thing that happened was the an MS-Dos box popped up for about 2/10ths of a
second and then disappeared. So to me it was a waste of 2 hours of
downloading.

After a bit more of prodding I saw that there was some configuring to do.
For the life of me, I have no idea where to look, and even if I did, I
wouldnt have any idea what I need to configure anyways. Basically I want to
have this installed so that during my learning process of PHP, I can test
and run things on my local machine, and not have to connect to the internet,
upload files etc.


Secondly, I downloaded something similar, called Easy PHP. The website said
it would install this and that and then something else that would allow you
to run PHP scripts on your local machine as well as being an editor to help
you write scripts. So I downloaded this as well. So 27 MB and 3 hours later
I have yet another useless program with no interfaces nothing. Just
something that runs in the background.

So now I talked with my roommate and explained these issues to him. He
pointed me to a software called CodeCharge. So I downloaded that and spent
hours looking through the templates and what not, and although I can see
this is a step in the right direction, it still leaves me with more
questions than answers. It wants me to specify DNS or ODBC or ASPI etc etc
and I have no clue what that is, what it means or what is does.

Furthermore I see no way to use existing html files that I have created as
templates. Just existing ugly templates that come with the software. I'm
sure there is a way to do that, but I haven't figured it out.

So what are my questions? Basically want to do is create sets of HTML
templates for various sections of sites. Then using the templates, code the
PHP to pull the correct information from a database, manipulate it, and then
return it together with templates. For example. On this a site that I am now
working on, there is a section that will contain headlines to various news
stories. In the HTML it looks something like this:


A HREF=1.htmHEADLINE/ABR
DATE

All this would simply create is something that looks like this Below:

Headline
September 12, 2002

Obviously clicking the headline would take you to another page that would
give you the entire story. To me, drawing on common sense, what you are
really saying is this:


A HREF=1.htm{LOOK IN THE DATABASE FOR A HEADLINE AND PRINT IT
HERE}/ABR
{LOOK IN THE DATABASE FOR THE DATE OF THE ABOVE HEADLINE AND PRINT IT HERE}

Makes sense no? So really for this template, it would use 2 sections from
the database: Headline and Date and the PHP tells the server where to
put what depending on which templates is being used

I don't want to drag this on, but in other words for these sites that I am
creating there are basically 1 thing that I need to accomplish.

#1 is that I need a control panel that is somewhere that I can go to any
computer and log in to. When I do that I can log-in and that will bring me
to and ADD/EDIT/DELETE form for any section of the site, and if I go to add,
then I will type the various bits of info into it, click submit and
automatically that info is added to the database. The edit and delete
features are self explanatory, but the end result is simply saying that OK,
now I've entered the info into the database, Now, Mr. Server and Mr. PHP
when the time comes for this info to be used, you have the info.

To me this isn't brain science in concept, but I have no friggin idea where
to start. So? Where do I start?

Ok, so hopefully you've read with me so far.

[PHP] curl_init() ??

2002-09-12 Thread Geoff Lists


Hi,
I am using PHP v.4.1.2,  CURL v7.7.2   with Apache server on MacOS X 
10.1.5
I have a PHP script containing the following:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,http://omitted.com;);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, salexml=$saleXML);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

When I run the script I receive the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init()

My reading of the PHP manual, Curl man pages, curl web site and PHP
books and articles in the curl-php mailing list indicate that this 
should work.

Can someone tell me how to get PHP to recognise the function
curl_init() or tell me another method of getting a PHP script to
simulate POST method as though the data was being sent from a form.

TIA

Re: [PHP] Cry for help

2002-09-12 Thread Justin French


Dude, take small steps, and try to understand what you're doing rather than
jumping in head-on.  Do lots of reading and searching.


1. You need an Apache webserver on your local machine.  There are many good
tutes, pre-compiled .exe's, etc etc on apache.org, and hundreds of tutorials
on it across the web. Ignore PHP and MySQL -- just get apache running, and
try to serve some basic HTML pages to yourself over http:// (NOT file:///).

There is an apache-users list for help with this too.

2. Then try to get PHP working alongside Apache... create some very simple
PHP pages, and try to get them working.  No doubt Apache will need to have
some tweaks to get it going.  PHP IS a background process, NOT a GUI
program.  PHP parses certain webpages (commonly, those a with .php
extension).  Yes, this PHP list will be able to help with the installation.
Personally, I'd download PHP ONLY from php.net, getting a pre-compiled
installer of the latest stable release.

3. THEN try to get MySQL working with PHP and Apache.  Again, this will
require some reconfiguring of PHP and perhaps Apache.  The best way to test
if you've got MySQL set up right would be to install phpMyAdmin.  There is a
mysql mailing list which will be abel to help you with specific MySQL
installation and configuration problems.  Personally, I'd download MySQL
ONLY from mysql.com, getting a pre-compiled installer of the latest stable
release.

4. Install phpMyAdmin (.net or .org i think), which is a web based GUI
interface for MySQL... again, read the documentation and installation
instructions, go slowly, and you should be able to get it fired up, assuming
that MySQL, PHP and Apache are all talking.  There is a mailing list and
forums specifically for installation and configuration of phpMyAdmin.

5. Find some SIMPLE tutorials on programming with PHP and MYSQL... something
like the classic contact database examples on sitepoint.com,
phpbeginner.com, phpbuilder.com, etc etc will be a good start.  Books (yes,
they aren't free) are good too.

6. Spend about a year trying to learn both MySQL and PHP, and you should be
getting pretty good.


There's no way you can expect to achieve what your current programmer's
achieving overnight.  It would appear from your email that you don't have
much/any experience with web servers, server side scripting languages, SQL,
etc etc, and it does take time to get a decent code library and knowledge
base together.

Please do expect this list to be able to help you huge emails covering
20,000 topics -- it's not going to work, and you are not going to become a
php guru overnight.  Take it slowly, preferably working on something
personal, not something client-based with a deadline.  Depending on the
complexity of what you want to achieve, my guess is you'll be comfortable
with using PHP and MYSQL in a client situation in about 3 to 12 months --
NOT a week.  

A bypass for step 1-3 may be an installation package called phpTriad, which
installs Apache, PHP and MySQL with common configurations, supposedly pain
free... although I've never done it... I'm pretty sure there's a windows
version.  Or, pay someone knowledgable and experience to set up all three
for you on your machine.  They are NOT like installing the latest version of
Internet Explorer :)


Good luck,

Justin French

I started also from a book Begining PHP 4 by wrox. I had a good
understanding of programming languages before I started as I had experience
of Delphi and some Java. oh and BASIC which I also learned what I was about
6! on a spectrum by any chance?

If you have a grasp of programming languages then PHP is dead easy to pick
up. I only started learning PHP about 9 months ago and I have designed a
website that is pulling 3 million hits a month (http://sportnetwork.net) and
I got a Job as a PHP programmer.

I would suggest looking for some basic programming books to get your head
around how programming languages work.if statments, for loops, while
loops, case statments etc these are used in most if not all programming
languages. And if you are brave you can look at object orrientated!! I have
just become brave enough!

On the install front. I got one of these multi purpose install things that
install apache,php, mysql and phpmyadmin at once which got me started but
after a we while i uninstalled it all and did each thing individually. I
just wanted to know where every thing went!

Anyhooo good luck and have fun!

[PHP] Re: Cry for help


Justin,
Thanks for the reply. Funny seeing the word dude again. Havent heard that
in quite a while, since moving over here to Italy. :)

I hope I didnt come across as thinking I can just learn this in a week or
two. I'm bright, but I'm not a genius. I know, and realize that it is a long
a frustrating process. What I don't have is the real opportunity here to
learn this like I could back in the states. There isn't a lot of info here
on the topic in English, no classes to take, etc. I can't just walk into the
local bookstore and buy a PHP book. While I am fluent in Italian, it would
be that much easier if I can get my start in English obviously.

As far as Apache is concerned, I looked at the website, yet couldnt find the
exact server software, so if you could provide me with a direct link I'd
appreciate it. It would be to my benefit however, if I could not only serve
myself html pages as http:// but also as file:// as internet costs here are
ridiculously high (no unilimited $24.99 2/7 packages here yet)

I have read many docs and downloaded many scripts to try to familiarize
myself with the language, and while I grasp many of the concepts, I still
have lingering questions that I havent been able to resolve. So I have been
trying to just have some of my fellow netizens to just point me to the right
door in the HUGE hallway of doors that will get me into the proper room in
which to learn. So thanks again

 templates for various sections of sites. Then using the
 templates, code the
 PHP to pull the correct information from a database, manipulate
 it, and then
 return it together with templates. For example. On this a site
 that I am now
 working on, there is a section that will contain headlines to various news
 stories. In the HTML it looks something like this:


 A HREF=1.htmHEADLINE/ABR
 DATE

 All this would simply create is something that looks like this Below:

 Headline
 September 12, 2002

 Obviously clicking the headline would take you to another page that would
 give you the entire story. To me, drawing on common sense, what you are
 really saying is this:


 A HREF=1.htm{LOOK IN THE DATABASE FOR A HEADLINE AND PRINT IT
 HERE}/ABR
 {LOOK IN THE DATABASE FOR THE DATE OF THE ABOVE HEADLINE AND
 PRINT IT HERE}

 Makes sense no? So really for this template, it would use 2 sections from
 the database: Headline and Date and the PHP tells the server where to
 put what depending on which templates is being used

 I don't want to drag this on, but in other words for these sites that I am
 creating there are basically 1 thing that I need to accomplish.

 #1 is that I need a control panel that is somewhere that I can go to any
 computer and log in to. When I do that I can log-in and that will bring me
 to and ADD/EDIT/DELETE form for any section of the site, and if I
 go to add,

 Hi,
 I am using PHP v.4.1.2,  CURL v7.7.2   with Apache server on MacOS X 
 10.1.5
 I have a PHP script containing the following:

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,http://omitted.com;);

 Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init()
 
 My reading of the PHP manual, Curl man pages, curl web site and PHP
 books and articles in the curl-php mailing list indicate that this 
 should work.
 
 Can someone tell me how to get PHP to recognise the function
 curl_init() or tell me another method of getting a PHP script to
 simulate POST method as though the data was being sent from a form.
 
 TIA

It seems that the version of PHP you are using doesn't have curl support 
compiled in/ doesn't have curl libs loaded through the ini file.

Run a script with ?php phpinfo() ? to confirm you don't have curl 
support; you may have to recompile or if you have the appropriate curl 
exstension lib you can probably add/uncomment curl in the etensions 
section of yor php.ini

[PHP] session_register trouble ?

Hello,

I use this code :
$myarray= array();
session_register (myarray);
$i=0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
$myarray[$i][0] = $row-ID;
$myarray[$i][1] = $row-NOM;
$myarray[$i][2] = $row-PRENOM;
$i = $i + 1;
}

for($i=0; $isizeof($myarray);$i++){ ?
a href=index.php?argumenthere=testid=?php  echo($myarray[$i][0]); ?
?php echo($myarray[$i][2]); ?/a
?php }

mysql_free_result($result);
mysql_close($link);
?

That's work. But when I add an a href= to call an another page 
(at the end of this) and in this another page I use axactly the same for 
loop than in the previous code

?php
for($i=0; $isizeof($myarray);$i++){ ?
a href=index.php?argumenthere=testid=?php  echo($myarray[$i][0]); ?
?php echo($myarray[$i][2]); ?/a
?php } ?

I receive the error :
Notice: Undefined variable: myarray in 


I solved the problem, I did that :
- register_globals = On
- use session_start(); on the top of the second page too

Is it normal ?

[PHP] Need some help with array sorting

2002-09-12 Thread Will Steffen


Ahem *tap* *tap* is this thing on?

Hi everyone, my name is Will and I've been addicted to php for 3 months
and 21 days... *grin*

I'm hitting a bit of a brick wall in a current project - the answer is
probably quite simple, but I'm still newish to php and coding in general
so bear with me:

I have a multidim array which looks something like :

$blocks[0] = array(param1=4,param2=some other param)
$blocks[1] = array(param1=3,param2=some other param)
$blocks[2] = array(param1=6,param2=some other param)

And so forth

Fairly straight forward you say, my problem is that elements can be
inserted into the blocks array in no particular order and I need to sort
at the top level using the values in param1 - so my output should be:

$sorted_blocks[0] = array(param1=3,param2=some other param)
$sorted_blocks[1] = array(param1=4,param2=some other param)
$sorted_blocks[2] = array(param1=6,param2=some other param)

I've had a long hard look at the manual and all those obscure array
manipulation goodies (ksort, multisort, etc) and done some hunting on
phpbuilder and the like, but turned up zip - either I'm not
understanding the array functions properly, or this can't be done, or
there's a nifty trick for doing it which I havent figured out?  

Ideally I'd like to be populating blocks using an sql query so I could
do an order by or some such upfront, but this world is anything but
ideal.

Any1 got 2c for me?


Thanks in advance
Will

Check that you don't have _any_ whitespace before the ?php ? tags, and 
of course don't send any other output before the header function.

[PHP] PHP mem leaks

2002-09-12 Thread John Wards


After being told off on the dev list I have posted this on this list (I
thought it was techie enough to go on that list but I was wrong)

I am running a large PHP/MySQL/Apache driven website and I am finding that
the apache Processes get larger and larger as the days go on. When I
stop/start apache the processes are around 16-17 meg each and after a week
they are about 40meg each and if we then get a large in flux of traffic say
a Monday lunch time the server just pages out and dies...

I have been on the apache list given them all my modules that I have running
and they pointed the finger at PHP, I was told to change maxrequestsperchild
to 100 but this made no difference. Is there a fix for this? or a planned
fix for this?

Oh and here are the modules I am using:

We are running Apache/1.3.26, PHP/4.2.2 mod_ssl/2.8.9 under FreeBSD 4.6.
Apache modules:

mod_php4, mod_ssl, mod_setenvif, mod_so, mod_auth, mod_access, mod_alias,
mod_userdir, mod_actions, mod_imap, mod_asis, mod_cgi, mod_dir,
mod_autoindex, mod_include, mod_status, mod_negotiation, mod_mime,
mod_log_config, mod_env, http_core

all compiled in except for mod_php4 and mod_ssl which are loaded using
LoadModule.

Re: [PHP] whois query

2002-09-12 Thread Adam Williams


Have a php page that runs exec() or system() and does a whois query on the
domain you want and then have it output the text to a page.  Very simple
to do, less then 2 minutes of coding.

Re: [PHP] Re: Cry for help


Thanks for the reply :P

I found it actually. Now I have the apache and php running, and am able to
run my aforementioned test script locally. I am still looking through the
manual now for the syntaxes and such. I am also looking on the web for some
simple prewritten scripts to run and then try to dissect and deconstruct.

With my little test script I've written, there are a few things I'd like
to be able to try to do with it that I think would help my learning process
go on more smoothly, but i cant seem to figure out, what functions to even
begin to try to use.

I'll give an example.

This is the result of my little test script as printed into a txt file.

|Serie C2 Round 2|09.09.02|20.45|Sangiovannese|Florentia Viola

So if i fill out the form again, and resubmit, i might get something like
this:

|Serie C2 Round 2|09.09.02|20.45|Sangiovannese|Florentia Viola
|Serie C2 Round 2|09.09.02|20.45|Gualdo|Florentia Viola

So for example, lets say I wanted to make another html form that has a form
field for List team by: and and select either home or away ... by
selecting home, the browser would print out the following:

Sangiovannese
Gualdo

so now I need to figure out how to get PHP to do the following:

#1 look at each line in the text file and treat it individually
#2 select the data after the 4th | from each line
#3 print it back to the browser

It's simple things like this that will get me going. I know for guys like
you, it would take about 3 minutes to type that up but to me its a little
tough trying to figure out how and where to use what. This manual isnt the
most well put together in my opinion, its tough to locate things. So if
someone or something would say to mewell for that operation, you need to
create function_whatever, then run a so_and_so then I could go to the
manual, and then learn how to write it. So this is my problem right now,
basically not knowing WHAT to learn first.

Thoughts?

Thanks again

You can use PHP and file() to do with, along with the str functions, but
if I were you and you already know what the filename of the file is you
are working on (or can submit it via a form) I would use the unix command
cut to do the operations on the file. Use another exec() or system() and
have it run cut -d | -f 4 yourfile.txt and then return you the output.

My point for wanting to do this isnt because I really want to make a list of

to learn how to split different bits of information, how organize them in
certain ways, in certain orders etc. So if i can figure out how to get PHP

Re: [PHP] whois query

2002-09-12 Thread Andrew Brampton


If you can't do a exec or system call on your server, then look at the
many examples of whois scripts here:
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Networking_Tools/Whois/
some of which use sockets or other methods which might be allowed on your
server

Also for reference, www.hotscripts.com is a GREAT site which has tons of
PHP scripts, allways look there 9 times out of 10 you will find a script
you can use.

Rick,

Someone had mentioned doing the following:

$name = $_POST['name'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
at the top of your script to enable the variables.


Or, you could try this at the top of every page:

global $HTTP_POST_VARS; 
global $HTTP_GET_VARS;  

and then use:

$_POST[field_name]

After successfully installing PHP and viewing the phpinfo page, I decided to

don't see the filled in contents in the email message. I don't see the what
the person filled out. But I see Name: ane Message:

Any ideas?

Here's my config line for installing PHP:

--with-apxs=/opt/apache/bin/apxs

Here's my config line for installing Apache:

Heh - I know how you feel.

I'm an ex network tecchie fighting my way through a career change to web
developer - spent some time messing with various scripting tools and so
forth, but never really had any formal coding experience until I hit php
- if you want some advice on learning php mine is spend the next few
weeks/months just soaking up every tutorial you can lay your hands on -
the best libraries are on phpbuilder, devshed and zend imho - altho
webmonkey also has a couple of really 'beginner' ones (hello world
country) you might want to start out with.

Also one thing no-one ever really tells you about this is that one of
the most important things to learn if you plan on building sites with
php is not php - its html.  I know this is a bit duh!, but seriously -
php is about logical structures - and slapping together a few variables
- it aint that hard once you get in the groove, but if you don't know
your html well enough to handcode it and to deconstruct a fat mess of
tags in your head and visualize what its going to end up looking like on
screen - you're going to have a hard time coding scripts to generate the
stuff.

Hi all,

One of my customers needs to show magazine  newspapers reviews of his
work, which are scanned in such a low res due to a file size matter, that
the images are not quite readable. Can I convert large size images to pdf
with PHP in order to show them faster on-the-fly? Will this be better? Is
there another quick and easy solution?

BTW, I do have access to GD lib if this should matter.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [PHP] PreCaching Db into Variables Slows it down?!??

2002-09-12 Thread M1tch


That's an expansive reply! Cheers Peter
Since I had to alter the db (quite simply) to include this tweak, I thought
best to do it now in dev phase (and keep it as an option), that mess around
with it later when lots of data exists.

It's my own code, and benchmarks show it to perform fast. However, in due
course I will try the Smarty template system, and compare it to that, but
from what (little) I've read on the subject, I don't know if it's best
suited to my needs (although the cache system sounds nice!).

You're right, it is early to be worrying about optimisation, but I tend to
get a bit obsessive about it. I take the view it's best to get it at least
half right during development phase, than make a mess and spend a lot longer
trying to rework production code.

You sound like you have some experience though, whats a decent page load
time? (from start of script to end of script)?
I'm aiming for sub 0.1 seconds, on IIS5 (it will be moved to RedHat for
production).

Thanks for you input, interesting read!

 I bet someone would have to look at the code. Are you writing your own
code or just gluing modules together? I'm using the
 Smarty template system which I really like, it caches templates.

 Personally I think you are going overboard in trying to optimize at this
point. I assume that your system is working, and so you
 need only tweak it. But it sounds as if you are still working out what the
system is.

 I have not done much work on High Traffic sites. One site was a skater
site and  big food producer was running a promo and
 had TV ads ... site performed fine even though it was just plain cgi
scripts hitting mysql at least 5 times for just about every
 page (I did not write the site but I had to modify,watch it).

 Another site was marked as troublesome, big book publisher. They just
threw hardware at it and all was well.

 Now Yahoo ... or Google ... that would be interesting. Why create a
solution for no problem?  I'd suggest looking at your
 templating system. Which one are you using? You didn't create your own did
you?

Re: [PHP] Re: Cry for help


Html is something i do in my sleep :P thankfully I've been good enough with
it to make a decent living with it. What you mention is quite logical, as i
would find myself correcting the ppl coding the databases and/or scripts by
saying, stuff like you realize that when the info is returned like that you
are going to need four colums in the html, not 3... and they'd be like,
geez..your right...and then they'd have to go back and code again...

So i am hoping that the html part that i know helps me gets me thru the
scripting phase a little easier, although the languages are apples and
oranges

iom looking thru the tuts now :P

 Heh - I know how you feel.

 I'm an ex network tecchie fighting my way through a career change to web
 developer - spent some time messing with various scripting tools and so
 forth, but never really had any formal coding experience until I hit php
 - if you want some advice on learning php mine is spend the next few
 weeks/months just soaking up every tutorial you can lay your hands on -
 the best libraries are on phpbuilder, devshed and zend imho - altho
 webmonkey also has a couple of really 'beginner' ones (hello world
 country) you might want to start out with.

 Also one thing no-one ever really tells you about this is that one of
 the most important things to learn if you plan on building sites with
 php is not php - its html.  I know this is a bit duh!, but seriously -
 php is about logical structures - and slapping together a few variables
 - it aint that hard once you get in the groove, but if you don't know
 your html well enough to handcode it and to deconstruct a fat mess of
 tags in your head and visualize what its going to end up looking like on
 screen - you're going to have a hard time coding scripts to generate the
 stuff.

  My point for wanting to do this isnt because I really want to
  make a list of the home teams or whatnot. But obviously, at
  some point, I am going to have to learn how to split
  different bits of information, how organize them in certain
  ways, in certain orders etc. So if i can figure out how to
  get PHP to select the certain bits of info, and then organize
  them, say, alphabetically, that will teach me how to write
  some syntax, to use a few different functions and to begin
  how to set variables.
 
  in 85 when i had the old Apple IIe I was able to do stuff
  like this with the if A$=whatever then goto ...  type stuff
  and it was easy back then. Now i realize PHP is not BASIC,
  nor am I a little kid anymore, but the basic idea of what i'd
  like to learn to do is there. So if i can just get used to
  working with it, then it will come

   You can use PHP and file() to do with, along with the str
  functions,
   but if I were you and you already know what the filename of
  the file
   is you are working on (or can submit it via a form) I would use the
   unix command cut to do the operations on the file.  Use
  another exec()

[PHP] A question about .php file extension

2002-09-12 Thread LI DONG


Hello everyone,

It is a question about .php file extension. Is there any way to access PHP4 
script in Apache 1.3.x without .php extension? For example, how to use

http://localhost/phptest?id=22

instead of

http://localhost/phptest.php?id=22

Thanks a lot!

make a .htaccess file like this

Files main
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
/Files
Files boards
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
/Files
Files read
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
/Files

This makes the file main boards read php files

What we do with it is make dynamic pages look like dirs for example
sportnetwork.net/main/s85.php would just be sportnetwork.net/main.php?s=85
we use eregs to get the values out.

Heh good so you're not a complete n00b then :P  Luckily I had a fairly
decent grounding in html and css as well when I got going - I'm just
putting the finishing touches on my first serious project atm using OO
style php which made the learning curve about 10 times steeper as I had
no previous experience with an OO language and the OO tuts as you will
find are pretty thin on the ground and of varying quality - thinking of
writing a few myself when I get a breather :-)

GL and happy reading :-)

[PHP] Displaying PDF file

2002-09-12 Thread Joseph Szobody


I've made a website for a real estate appraiser, who wants to put all his appraisals 
for his clients online. I have stored these PDF documents in a folder outside of the 
webserver folder, for security. When a client successfully logs in and clicks the link 
to biew the PDF, I have a PHP script that does the following:

?
Header(Content-type: application/pdf);

include(../pdfs/whatever.pdf);
?

It worked great at first, and still does with some PDF documents. With others, it 
gives says something like...

Parse error:  parse error in /path/to/pdfs/whatever.pdf on line 410

Why does it work with some PDF docs, and not others? Is there a better way to display 
PDF files (without putting them in a web-accessible folder)?

Thanks,

Joseph

Include is the statement used for including other php files. That means that
the pdf you're including will be parsed by the parser. I have no idea why
some document don't give errors.

You will have to use readfile instead:

readfile( ../pdfs/whatever.pdf);

Thanks Erwin, that helps but I'm still not getting it to work. Should I still use 
the 

Header(Content-type: application/pdf);

line?

I tried using readfile() keeping the header. When I click the link to the PHP script 
that should show me the PDF, the IE status bar says something like Downloading from 
site .blah, then says Done. Nothing happens. I'm still on the previous page. No 
error, no pdf file... nothing.

I removed the Header line, and IE prompted me to download the file. That's not what I 
want.

What am I doing wrong?

 #3 print it back to the browser

$fd = fopen (/tmp/inputfile.txt, r); // Opens file for reading

{
$buffer = fgets($fd, 4096); // Reads one line of maximum 4096 bytes
$arr = explode(|, $buffer); // Divides each row into separate elements
in an array.
echo $arr[4]; // Prints the 5th element of each row.
// The first element ($arr[0]) is actually  (an empty string) since each

Hopefully this will get you in the right direction.

That's weird, you should keep the

line...

You could also try to add the 
Header( Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=whatever.pdf);
and
Header( Content-Disposition: filename=whatever.pdf );
