turn register globals ON on php.ini (they now default to off), then read the 1000's of threads about register globals, missing/empty form variables, super global arrays, etc etc in the archives. post vars are found in $_POST, session in $_SESSION, get in $_GET, etc etc Justin French on 28/09/02 12:47 AM, Qmail List ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Hello List, I'm putting a php app that has been off-line for about 18 months back on-line.

That worked perfect but I have one more problem I need to know if one

[PHP] Header Content x-tar
Hi Erwin,
and anyone else too.
It's me again. Maybe you are able to solve another problem for me.
The last Scriptcode I returned to you is working fine in IE6 and below
(I believe), but a friend of mine tried to download a tared file with IE
on MacOS. After checking this behaviour (I'm not really able to do a
real check, because I'm not really able to understand what really
happens with theese mime-types), I thought about to check it in
Netscape too, and later Mozilla in Mac and Win, but it worked
nowhere else than in IE 6 until now. In Netscape the download
starts and a 10 KB file is safed to disk called download.php. In
Mozilla the download starts and a file named picture_name.tar.php
is safed. Size 10KB. The main picture Size is still 406 KB, packed
as a Tar File it's 410 KB.
Thats the problem I need a solvation for.
I read something about theese headers on php.net. There was
an workaround for the circumstace that the download would not
start in IE but not in the other direction.
So please, if you know some more, please share it with me.
There are only two days left, to finish my project. So I'm really
in trouble. After this projekt I will step up and start learning Linux
and Apache configuration to the fullest.
So later I maybe will be an helpfull guy too.
Greetz
Sascha
PS.: Just for remembrance, the old working samplecode:
!-- download.php --
?
Header('Content-Type: application/x-tar');
Header(Content-disposition: filename=.$_REQUEST['name']..tar);
$dir = explode(/, $_REQUEST['image']);
chdir('../images/'.$dir['0']./.$dir['1']./.$dir['2']./);
$command = 'tar -cf - '.$_REQUEST['name'].'.jpg';
passthru($command);
// Insert the download into order_db for statistic use

Re: [PHP] Multiple Domains in cookie?
GREAT Q! I have been trying to play with my cookies for a while now for this same reason.. And to no avail.. It seems due to the structure of them and as long as the client (browser) sticks to the specifications you can only access a cookie belonging to that same host.. For example, I am starting up a large network site base but I wanted all the sites even though they have their own unique domain to be able to have a global member login system.. Catch is.. The only way for them to be able to login to one site and then be able to freely go to another completely diff. site also on our network they would still be logged in and hence they have this main ONE account that allows them access to all our network sites.. So I studied the workings behind Terra Lycos and found their trick quite easily.. Since they have basically this same concept they too had to find a solution.. And their's is very close to mine :) I had thought.. since it's HOST specific. Not the full domain.. that means that cookies only differentiate between: aaa.com and bbb.com.. But not: one.aaa.com or two.aaa.com Therefore to create ONE cookie you set it's host for aaa.com and that way all your other site domains can be redirectors to the subdomain.. Ie.. if you have aaa.com as your main site and bbb.com and ccc.com just make those other two point to: bbb.aaa.com and ccc.aaa.com respectively.. Don't think it's unpro because that's exactly what Terra Lycos does.. For eg.. Checkout www.webmonkey.com (I'm sure many of you already know it) you soon see you'll be transported to: www.hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey This is because not only is webmonkey part of Terra lycos.. It's also under HotWired.. Then I thought.. No way.. that can't be their trick surely?? Yep.. Checkout all their other sites.. More examples: www.angelfire.com goes to angelfire.lycos.com and tripod.com goes to tripod.lycos.com it seems this is the idea.. that way.. if they login.. just set some details (perhaps the SESSID so you can easily jsut reload the session on the other sites) on for example lycos.com as the domain and then all the subdomains can also use this freely.. Use your domains as redirectors and you get a sweet system.. :) HIH --oOo---oOo-- Julien Bonastre [The_RadiX] The-Spectrum Network CEO [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.the-spectrum.org --oOo---oOo-- - Original Message - From: Tony Harrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 7:25 PM Subject: [PHP] Multiple Domains in cookie?

[PHP] headers?
Hi all..
Got this script to verify a login against a mysql-databas with several
checking for type errors etc.
When I wanna login people, I include a file with all my functions
('functions.php') and I a function verify is called upon.
the function returns false if user entered wrong user/pass, And if they
enter correct info I want them to be redirected to another page.. hm. the
headers cant be added (u heard that before?) cuz my login form already
started output...
function verify($user,$pass){
// some sql queries here...
if(count($number)0){
return false;
}else{
header(Location:admin.php);
}
}
I would like som help using headers in a correct way, or be able to use
another way...

It's giving you this error because you are sending the headers after
outputting something (which could be just a blank line) - check in your
functions.php that you dont have any blank lines before the start of or
after the end of your script. ie. before the ?php or after the ?

The quotes within the quotes -- you need to escape them. Otherwise, the
second double quote terminates the quoted string, yet there's some more junk
on the line. By escaping them, you tellphp you mean the literal , and
don't want to terminate the string .
So change to:

RE: [PHP] Multiple Domains in cookie?
or you just have something like login.myhost.com and all your sites use that to authenticate the user. In your php login script you can just see which site they came back from and then on a successful login you just redirect them back to that one. You wouldn't need to use cookies. You could make your own session ID. I thik owning say subdomain.mydomain.com and having it point to www.asite.com/mydomain/subdomain doesn't look as good.

GREAT Q! I have been trying to play with my cookies for a while now for this same reason.. And to no avail.. It seems due to the structure of them and as long as the client (browser) sticks to the specifications you can only access a cookie belonging to that same host.. For example, I am starting up a large network site base but I wanted all the sites even though they have their own unique domain to be able to have a global member login system.. Catch is.. The only way for them to be able to login to one site and then be able to freely go to another completely diff. site also on our network they would still be logged in and hence they have this main ONE account that allows them access to all our network sites.. So I studied the workings behind Terra Lycos and found their trick quite easily.. Since they have basically this same concept they too had to find a solution.. And their's is very close to mine :) I had thought.. since it's HOST specific. Not the full domain.. that means that cookies only differentiate between: aaa.com and bbb.com.. But not: one.aaa.com or two.aaa.com Therefore to create ONE cookie you set it's host for aaa.com and that way all your other site domains can be redirectors to the subdomain.. Ie.. if you have aaa.com as your main site and bbb.com and ccc.com just make those other two point to: bbb.aaa.com and ccc.aaa.com respectively.. Don't think it's unpro because that's exactly what Terra Lycos does.. For eg.. Checkout www.webmonkey.com (I'm sure many of you already know it) you soon see you'll be transported to: www.hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey This is because not only is webmonkey part of Terra lycos.. It's also under HotWired.. Then I thought.. No way.. that can't be their trick surely?? Yep.. Checkout all their other sites.. More examples: www.angelfire.com goes to angelfire.lycos.com and tripod.com goes to tripod.lycos.com it seems this is the idea.. that way.. if they login.. just set some details (perhaps the SESSID so you can easily jsut reload the session on the other sites) on for example lycos.com as the domain and then all the subdomains can also use this freely.. Use your domains as redirectors and you get a sweet system.. :) HIH --oOo---oOo-- Julien Bonastre [The_RadiX] The-Spectrum Network CEO [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.the-spectrum.org --oOo---oOo-- - Original Message - From: Tony Harrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 7:25 PM Subject: [PHP] Multiple Domains in cookie?

however, when I put php_value browscap /home/user/php/browscap.ini in

Is browscap not changeable from .htaccess, or am I doing something

---BeginMessage---
I'm no expert on MySQL field types, but I'd be going for a varchar field of
50-ish (maybe more???)... the reason is that (from what I understand)
varchar fields only take up as much room as the content, plus one or two
bytes, so making them 50 vs 30 will offer no advantage, but may become a
disadvantage down the track.
It'd be worth checking the MySQL manual though.

[PHP] Challenging problem for you programing gurus...
Hi guys,
I have come accross a small problem while trying to convert a java program to a PHP
one
my database table is like so
*
cno (int)
name (varchar)
lastname(varchar)
etc etc
*
as you can see the details I take is name/lastname and customer number (cno) is
automatically generated, now instead of using a auto increment a int was declared
and this code was used
**
synchronized(this)
{
rs=stmt.executeQuery(select max(cno)+1 from cust);
}
**
(for those of you who dont understand java)
the synchronized keyword makes sure only one thread can work in the block of code
between the { and } then it executes the query select max(cno)+1 from cust and
stores the result in an array (like PHP) in rs.
Basically, it just gets the next higher cno from the table cust.
Then it enters the cno like this rs=cno,then name,lastname etc and then tells the
customer that the data has been entered and his new customer number is rs.
As you can see its a pain in the ass job which has to be changed,
the problem is a few hundred records have already been entered,
how do i use the current table BUT use the more useful auto increment and
LAST_INSERT_ID() via PHP?
The java servlet program which is handleing the requests is working fine, but I am
want to convert it to a PHP program as paying for servlet hosting is upto 5-8 times
more...and I aint rich, or even close to being rich :-(
Please reply,
ANY help appreciated and thanks in advance.
Cheers,
-Ryan.
Re: [PHP] Challenging problem for you programing gurus...
I didn't catch which database you are using, but you can alter a field in MySQL to add the auto_increment characteristic. Look into the alter table SQL statement. Happy hacking.

[PHP] Htmlentities and Newlines?
Perhaps I don't understand the use of 'htmlentities' too well, but I would
like newlines to be retained/inserted into a db, and then if displayed, to
produce a new line from a textarea. However, I want the possibility of
dangerous html excluded (hence the use of 'htmlentities').
Is there some way of excluding '\n \r ' and other newline indicators from
'htmlentities()'? Perhaps a combination of preg_match and something else? I'm
a bit brained-fried struggling with other errant parts of this code since 6
am.
Any ideas how I could proceed?
The code far:
?php
. . .
/* Verification script. Adds sponsor's name, city, prov, country and current
date at end of 'request' string */
. . .
$request = $_POST['request'];
$request = ucfirst($request);
$html = htmlentities($request);
^^^
/* $html defuses all newlines . . . sigh */
$title = $_POST['title'];
$title = ucfirst($title);
$title = htmlentities($title);
$date = date('Y-m-d');
$preview =
{$_SESSION['title']}brbrbr$htmlbrbrbr{$_SESSION['sfname']}
{$_SESSION['ssname']}br{$_SESSION['scity']}, {$_SESSION['rprov']}
{$_SESSION['scountry']}br$date;;
print h2Preview of Request from

quotes so the following are all appropriate:
echo a 'string' b;
echo a \string\ b;
echo 'a \'string\' b;
echo 'a string b;
See? PHP can't read your mind and know what
goes with what, like:
echo abcdefg; // BAD
Now, when dealing with arrays inside strings:
echo an {$array['key']} b;
echo 'an ' . $array['key'] . ' b';
echo an $array[key] b;

Subject: [PHP] Challenging problem for you programing gurus...
Hi guys,
I have come accross a small problem while trying to convert a java
program
to a PHP one
my database table is like so
*
cno (int)
name (varchar)
lastname(varchar)
etc etc
*
as you can see the details I take is name/lastname and customer number
(cno) is automatically generated, now instead of using a auto
increment
a int was declared and this code was used
**
synchronized(this)
{
rs=stmt.executeQuery(select max(cno)+1 from cust);
}
**
(for those of you who dont understand java)
the synchronized keyword makes sure only one thread can work in the
block of code between the { and } then it executes the query
select
max(cno)+1 from cust and stores the result in an array (like PHP) in
rs.
Basically, it just gets the next higher cno from the table cust.
Then it enters the cno like this rs=cno,then name,lastname etc and
then
tells the customer that the data has been entered and his new customer
number is rs.
As you can see its a pain in the ass job which has to be changed,
the problem is a few hundred records have already been entered,
how do i use the current table BUT use the more useful auto increment
and
LAST_INSERT_ID() via PHP?
The java servlet program which is handleing the requests is working
fine,
but I am want to convert it to a PHP program as paying for servlet
hosting
is upto 5-8 times more...and I aint rich, or even close to being rich
:-(
Please reply,
ANY help appreciated and thanks in advance.
Cheers,
-Ryan.

RE: [PHP] Htmlentities and Newlines?
Perhaps I don't understand the use of 'htmlentities' too well, but I would like newlines to be retained/inserted into a db, and then if displayed, to produce a new line from a textarea.

You can use the SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE query like someone else
mentioned, and then use passthru() to send the file to the browser.
It'll come out as text to the user and appear in the browser. If you
want it available to download, then you'll have to send attachment
headers before passthru().
If you don't have FILE privs so you can use the above query, then you
could do something like this:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT ... FROM table WHERE ... );
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{ echo implode(,,$row); }
You can use \t instead of , or whatever. That doesn't put quotes around
strings or anything like that, though...

Re: Re[2]: [PHP] counting words in a string
You can get all the terms into an array using preg_match_all:-
$str = UNAVAILABLE More Info AVAILABLE More Info;
$regExp = /(?:UN)?AVAILABLE|More Info/;
preg_match_all($regExp, $str, $regs);
$regs[0] will contain the matched terms - you should then be able to use
array functions to do whatever else you need to do - counting, positions,
etc

[PHP] Newbie Q: Any difference what the .ext is on include() files???
Hi y'all I've only been working with PHP for the past 2-3 weeks, so there's alot of things I haven't quite grasped 100% yet ... Basically what I'm doing is converting my old framed, js-driven, HTML website, with 137 physical pages (individual HTML files) and some dynamically created ones, into a full-fledged PHP site ... As the whole idea in this is to get rid of the frameset, and reuse as much code as entirely possible, I'm using 5-6 PHP master files (I'm only through converting little more than half the site by now), which then mix and match variables to include the right files for bodies and menus and such... But here's the real Q: Does it matter at all what extension I use for the include() source files??? I mean, they're the old HTML files that I strip down to the most basic, with a few HTML tags to control the formatting, so my though pattern is that .html is wrong, because it's not real HTML (in that it lacks everything that makes them HTML), and it's not really .txt, because it contains formatting characters ... so in lack of better, I decided to name them .psrc (for PHP source) ... Right now I'm only running the site on test-basis on my own PHP on Apache on WinXP, where it works well, nomatter what ext I use (provided I remember to update the include() command to reflect it of course. But it's going to be uploaded to a webhotel I haven't bought yet ... so I just want to know: Do I risk any functionality in using my own extensions? Or does PHP as a general not care about the include() extensions??? I do have some .php includes, because they run PHP code, but most of my includes are just text that needs to put in the right part of a table...

Heres the code:
Matt,
I suggest you break your code down to the simplest possible. Too many
factors in there for my taste. FWIW, I had to bang my head a few times
to get it and still have to verify my assumptions. For some reason I
took to Template::Toolkit rather fast but smarty is working fine for
me.
Here are a few notes, but I'm fairly new to PHP so caution.
First, totally unrelated to your question:
Function readComment( $smarty, $bid ) {
In Perl and in PHP I have my classes ONLY manipulate data and return
data to the handerl which then passes it off to what I call the
viewer. In this way, in Perl for instance, I can use more than one
template system as I create a class for each template system and
manipulate the data as needed for that system. Works like a charm. In
this way you can use the code in your classes for manythings ... it's
not tied to your output. Also, now some might complain that this might
be slower or take more memory or whatever, but I do this with smarty:
$data = $g-run($com,$fid);
$data is an array of data returned by my functions.
$data['content'] = $g-viewer-Merge($data,$template);
print $g-viewer-Merge($data,'index.html');
So I *wrap* the content of pages into a page which pulls in
header/footer rather than having a header/footer in every page.
Okay, back to your qeustion:
while( $row = $result-fetchRow( DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC ) ) {
$rowdata[$i] = $row;
$i++;
I don't think you need the $i.
Are you sure you have data in $rowdata?
Your use of section looks good to me. You've got those if statements.
Sure they are all true.
I'm using section in lots of stuff and it's working fine.
When I run into trouble I work from the most basic, the simplest and
then move up.

RE: [PHP] Htmlentities and Newlines?
OK, I can't quite follow what you are doing. Here's what you should do. You should always save it in the database exactly how the user typed it. Save it with newlines and don't add any HTML code to it. Reason being, when this has to be edited, it'll show up in the textarea the same way the user typed it. No having to explain what the br are or where the extra stuff came from. Then, to show a preview or whatever to the user, use nl2br(htmlentities($text)) to send it to the browser. ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: Andre Dubuc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 6:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Htmlentities and Newlines?

[PHP] Member's Area Script
Hello again,
I'm trying to write a script that has a member's area in it. So far I've
been able to successfully validate only one username and only one
password but now I'm going big and trying to compare it with a table in
my MySQL database. Everything goes nice and smooth until I actually try
and enter in my username and password. I type it in, copy and paste,
whaetever and it tells me the error I wanted it to say The username and
password is not a good combo. I've copied and pasted the username and
password from the database directly yet it still gives me this error.
Here's my code for the login() function that logs the user in:
function login($username, $password)
{
$conn = $main;
if (!$conn)
return 0;
$result = mysql_query(select * from user
where username='$username'
and passwd = '$password');
if (!$result)
return 0;
if (mysql_num_rows($result)0)
return 1;
else
return 0;
}
Here's the code for the part that calls the login() function:
if(login($user, $pass))
{
$valid_user = $user;
session_register(valid_user);
}
else
{
echo font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'
size='3'centerbYou supplied an invalid username and password combo.
Try again please./b/center;
exit;
}
And here's the part that connects to the database:
?php
# FileName=Connection_php_mysql.htm
# Type=MYSQL
# HTTP=true
$hostname_main = localhost;
$database_main = mom;
$username_main = root;
$password_main = ;
$main = mysql_pconnect($hostname_main, $username_main, $password_main)
or die(mysql_error());
?
Does anyone see why it's doing this to me? Please help!!

RE: [PHP] Newbie Q: Any difference what the .ext is on include() files???
The only thing to worry about is that if someone pulls up your include file, they're likely to see it as plain text and all of the code within it will be visible. If there is no PHP code within the file, or the PHP code is irrelevant (no passwords, logic, etc), then it doesn't matter. I normally name my include files as file.inc.php. But (there is always a but) you have to remember that this file can be run out of context now, and all of the PHP code within it will be evaluated. It may or may not matter, but it's something to stay aware of. A third option is to place them in an .htaccess protected directory or add a rule that .inc or .psrc files can't be called up through the browser (deny all). Depending on your web server, this may or may not be possible. The safest and best method to using includes is to store them outside of the webroot, so they can't be called by the browser at all. An easy way to do this is to define to variables, the html path, and the include path. $_CONF['html'] = '/home/groups/user/htdocs/'; $_CONF['include'] = '/home/groups/user/includes/'; And then base all of your include(), fopen(), header(), href, etc, off of those two variables. Makes moving your sites very easy, too, just change the values of those variables... ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: -[ Rene Brehmer ]- [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 4:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Newbie Q: Any difference what the .ext is on include() files??? Hi y'all I've only been working with PHP for the past 2-3 weeks, so there's alot of things I haven't quite grasped 100% yet ... Basically what I'm doing is converting my old framed, js-driven, HTML website, with 137 physical pages (individual HTML files) and some dynamically created ones, into a full-fledged PHP site ... As the whole idea in this is to get rid of the frameset, and reuse as much code as entirely possible, I'm using 5-6 PHP master files (I'm only through converting little more than half the site by now), which then mix and match variables to include the right files for bodies and menus and such... But here's the real Q: Does it matter at all what extension I use for the include() source files??? I mean, they're the old HTML files that I strip down to the most basic, with a few HTML tags to control the formatting, so my though pattern is that .html is wrong, because it's not real HTML (in that it lacks everything that makes them HTML), and it's not really .txt, because it contains formatting characters ... so in lack of better, I decided to name them .psrc (for PHP source) ... Right now I'm only running the site on test-basis on my own PHP on Apache on WinXP, where it works well, nomatter what ext I use (provided I remember to update the include() command to reflect it of course. But it's going to be uploaded to a webhotel I haven't bought yet ... so I just want to know: Do I risk any functionality in using my own extensions? Or does PHP as a general not care about the include() extensions??? I do have some .php includes, because they run PHP code, but most of my includes are just text that needs to put in the right part of a table...

Re: [PHP] mkdir() failed: Permission denied
Got it but the solution is derned freaky... talking to the webserver admin I
come to find out that I have to write a stub executable to php4.cgi which
will interpret the PHP script bypassing the Apache mods.. that way I can
keep the directories at the default 0755 and STILL be able to do file mkdir

Re: [PHP] Htmlentities and Newlines?
Hi John, Sorry about the ambiguity. What I'm trying to accomplish is close to what you describe. However, before anything goes into the db (ie html chars, bad commands, or anything from Mr.Hacker), I verify it. Someone suggested, way back when I first started with textarea, to use 'htmlentities' to strip the bad items out. You should always save it in the database exactly how the user typed it. So far, so good. But, if I follow what you suggest (and it's eminently reasonable!) I could have some 'bad stuff' becoming 'resident' in my db. Perhaps I am paranoid, but that seems like a-bad-thing-to-do. Save it with newlines and don't add any HTML code to it. Ahh . . . if I save as the user typed it, assuming Mr. Hacker has added some little extras, what then?? I use a Preview mode for viewing what thgey've entered, and they must go back to the textarea box if they need to edit (which has exactly what they typed.)

However, before anything goes into the db (ie html chars, bad commands, or anything from Mr.Hacker), I verify it. Someone suggested, way back when I first started with textarea, to use 'htmlentities' to strip the bad items out. It doesn't strip it, it just converts some characters to HTML code. You should always save it in the database exactly how the user typed it. So far, so good. But, if I follow what you suggest (and it's eminently reasonable!) I could have some 'bad stuff' becoming 'resident' in my db. Perhaps I am paranoid, but that seems like a-bad-thing-to-do. Yes. The key is to display it with htmlentities(). Never display it directly. Save it with newlines and don't add any HTML code to it. Ahh . . . if I save as the user typed it, assuming Mr. Hacker has added some little extras, what then?? I use a Preview mode for viewing what thgey've entered, and they must go back to the textarea box if they need to edit (which has exactly what they typed.) Again, you don't have to worry what's in there, as long as you display it correctly. Now, if you know that these entries aren't going to be edited, then you can do the conversion and save that. Unfortunately, there is no reversal to htmlentities. So, you can't run htmlentities on the text and then hope to display it back to the user for editing. A will be lt;, and if you submit that and run html entities again, you'll have amp;lt;. See where the problem is? So, basically, as long as your displaying the text correctly, use the conversions when you display it. If you don't need to edit the text, run the conversion before you put it in your database.

INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=SPIDERSESSION VALUE=\oiXESASZC?~adQXZDQ?_
what i want to do is get the string which corresponds to value. so that is
\oiXESASZC?~adQXZDQ?_
ive used
preg_match_all ('INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=SPIDERSESSION VALUE=(.*)',
$contents,$out, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
but it returns the whole document :(
a little help? cheers

Re: [PHP] Htmlentities and Newlines?
Hi John, Sorry about the ambiguity. What I'm trying to accomplish is close to what you describe. However, before anything goes into the db (ie html chars, bad commands, or anything from Mr.Hacker), I verify it. Someone suggested, way back when I first started with textarea, to use 'htmlentities' to strip the bad items out. You should always save it in the database exactly how the user typed it. So far, so good. But, if I follow what you suggest (and it's eminently reasonable!) I could have some 'bad stuff' becoming 'resident' in my db. Perhaps I am paranoid, but that seems like a-bad-thing-to-do. Save it with newlines and don't add any HTML code to it. Ahh . . . if I save as the user typed it, assuming Mr. Hacker has added some little extras, what then?? I use a Preview mode for viewing what thgey've entered, and they must go back to the textarea box if they need to edit (which has exactly what they typed.) Oh, this all did sense to me a while ago, but I am tired, and it's beginning to sound like gibberish . Thanks again. Andre Things will be alright, if you follow two rules: 1. before Output, use htmlentities() to make sure, your text isn't confused with HTML (This way noone can insert HTML-Tags into your Text). 2. before saving to database, either use addslashes() or turn on magic_qoutes in php.ini. (This will ensure, that noone drops your database on the fly. e.g. Enters something like '; drop database;' into a textarea.) as i remember magic_qoutes should be turned on by default. Don't do anything else with data that goes to your database, or you'll lose posibility to edit it later on.

/INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=SPIDERSESSION VALUE=([^]*)/ should work ...

Now, if you know that these entries aren't going to be edited, then you
can do the conversion and save that. Unfortunately, there is no
reversal to htmlentities. So, you can't run htmlentities on the text
and then hope to display it back to the user for editing. A will be
lt;, and if you submit that and run html entities again, you'll have
amp;lt;. See where the problem is?
So, basically, as long as your displaying the text correctly, use the
conversions when you display it. If you don't need to edit the text, run
the conversion before you put it in your database.
Anyone disagree?

Thanks John,
It appears I was doing it 'somewhat' correctly since I haven't run into the
one-time-only problem with htmlentities. However, as I am only displaying the
text in Preview Mode, when they click 'Back' on their browser, they'll see
what they had just typed in. So, if they correct it, and click Preview, it'll
be a new process since the old 'Preview was not saved to session, but is a
'new' post (the old Preview was destroyed.)
Still, since I'm pulling the saved info from the db, iterating through all
rows, and displaying it in table format, I can't get the linebreaks to
display. Here's the 'code' that displays the info:
?php
/* db access using postgresql - each row is displayed */
...
trtd{$myrow['request']}/td/tr
...
?
Now unless I can do something like:
trtd'nl2br({$myrow['request']}'/td/tr
(Unfortunately, in the db the linebreaks appear as whitespaces (no \n or
br). I'm sort of sunk. Somehow, that syntax looks like it won't work.
Thanks for the advice,
Andre

Hello,
Be for warned that I am new to smarty and for some reason I'm
finding it very difficult to learn. ??? Anyway, my question is how
do
I access an array of associative arrays via the {section} statement?
Heres the code:
Matt,
I suggest you break your code down to the simplest possible. Too many
factors in there for my taste. FWIW, I had to bang my head a few
times
to get it and still have to verify my assumptions. For some reason I
took to Template::Toolkit rather fast but smarty is working fine for
me.
Here are a few notes, but I'm fairly new to PHP so caution.
First, totally unrelated to your question:
Function readComment( $smarty, $bid ) {
In Perl and in PHP I have my classes ONLY manipulate data and return
data to the handerl which then passes it off to what I call the
viewer. In this way, in Perl for instance, I can use more than one
template system as I create a class for each template system and
manipulate the data as needed for that system. Works like a charm. In
this way you can use the code in your classes for manythings ... it's
not tied to your output. Also, now some might complain that this
might
be slower or take more memory or whatever, but I do this with smarty:
That does sound like a better and more logical approach. I think I'll
incorporate that into my code.
$data = $g-run($com,$fid);
$data is an array of data returned by my functions.
$data['content'] = $g-viewer-Merge($data,$template);
print $g-viewer-Merge($data,'index.html');
So I *wrap* the content of pages into a page which pulls in
header/footer rather than having a header/footer in every page.
Okay, back to your qeustion:
while( $row = $result-fetchRow( DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC ) ) {
$rowdata[$i] = $row;
$i++;
I don't think you need the $i.
I need the $i because I'm assigning the every row from the result into
an array.
Are you sure you have data in $rowdata?
Yup, $rowdata is filled with data, and the right data at that. :)
Your use of section looks good to me. You've got those if statements.
Sure they are all true.
This one might be my downfall, I'll have to dig into this one a bit
more.
I'm using section in lots of stuff and it's working fine.
When I run into trouble I work from the most basic, the simplest and
then move up.

RE: [PHP] Help! Can't set cookie or redirect!!!
You can only set a cookie before any output is send to the browser. A newline, space, or html, etc, is output to the browser. Redesign your code so the cookie is set before any output or use output buffering. ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: Phil Powell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 9:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Help!

Now, when you pull that out, and run nl2br() on it, it'll show up like this, in the source of the html output: This linebr / Is broken in twobr / br / Before this line is a double space.

[PHP] Session Not Saving?
I'm having another problem with my member's area script. When someone
logs in, it's supposed to register their username into a session and it
displays fine on the first page. But once you navigate to another part
of the area, it does not tell you you are logged in, instead it gives me
the error I set it to give You are not logged in. Here's the code
that checks to see if the user is valid:
function check_valid()
{
global $valid_user;
if (session_is_registered(valid_user))
{
echo font size='2'Welcome $valid_user!/font;
}
else
{
echo You are not logged in.;
exit;
}
}
Here's the code that's supposed to save the session:
include_once(funcs.php);
session_start();
if($user $pass)
{
if(login($user, $pass))
{
$valid_user = $user;
session_register(valid_user);
}
else
{
echo font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'
size='3'centerbYou supplied an invalid username and password combo.
Try again please./b/center;
exit;
}
}
Please help again!!!
Thanks,
Stephen
