[PHP] fgetcsv Help
I am parsing a csv file with fgetcsv and the fields are surrounding by double quotes, now I am running into a problem periodically that when there are quotes within the value it is treating it like another value instead of the same value. Any ideas on how to get around that? I am thinking I might have to convert all quotes to quot; and then turn all quot;,quot; back into quotes and then the first quot; in the file and then last one since obviously they will not have a comma in between them. This seems like a while lot of work.. Ideas?

Re: [PHP] Question Regarding Cookies, Sent Headers, and Functions That Return Values
Here is the code in a readable form (alterations for security, simplicity
...)
if
((stristr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS[remote_address],XXX.YYY.ZZZ))||($pwprotect==
'password')) {
setcookie(pwprotect2,1,time()+300);
}
else {
echo form(ASK FOR PASSWORD)/form;
}
Now when you say blank line does that mean actual empty lines between the
? tag and the beginning of the code?
ie
?
if ((stristr(
might cause problems? Seems kind of snarky, but I'm willing to try anything.
Anyway, thanks for responding ... ON A COMPLETELY SEPARATE NOTE, does anyone
here understand how the odbc_primarykeys() function ... err .. functions?
Tried all avenues, kept getting an SQL Error in SQLPrimaryKey, I imagine I'm
not entering proper values for the parameters, but I don't know any proper
values for the parameters ... any help?
Once again, thanks a lot!

Show us the rst of the code. stristr() should not be a problem. Chances
are there's a

Subject: [PHP] Question Regarding Cookies, Sent Headers, and Functions
That Return Values
Here's my question:
I'm running code that essentially checks for either a certain IP address
or a password
before it sends a cookie. However, when I try to send the cookie, I get
the standard
Error - headers already sent when I haven't output anything. After some
spot debugging,
I found that
if ( stristr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS[remote_address],XXX.YYY.ZZZ) ) { ...
essentially counts as a sent header. I imagine this has to do with the
fact that stristr
returns a TRUE or FALSE value, but not being an expert in programming
concepts, I wouldn't
know.
Anywho, if anyone knows a workaround for this or could explain the problem
that lies
within, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Re: [PHP] Passing variables from script to script
If they are static you could store them in another php file and include them. HTTP is stateless, meaning one person can go from one page to another or log out in between all of this. It also means there is no authentication for users, you can not prove that one person is the same person the next time he visits the page. Without using GET or POST. I would go with cookies. In fact, I would go with SESSIONS. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php This way, only the session ID is stored as a cookie, and you can store the other variables on the server under $_SESSION['username'] and $_SESSION['password']. This may not be the perfect solution to your problem, but take a look. It's really useful. You have to run session_start(); before anything else, and it does it all via cookies(and sometimes through GET), but works very well in my experience. You may also want to look at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php to control various aspects of PHP's sessions. I've found ini_set() with sessions to be invaluable. Hope this helps! --Joseph Guhlin - http://www.josephguhlin.com/ Was I helpful?

Use includes. http://www.php.net/include
dbinfo.inc
?php
$host = 'localhost';
$user = 'foo';
$pass = 'bar';
...
?
showstuff.php
?php
include 'dbinfo.inc';
if (!$conn = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass)) {
...
?
Ideally this include will be outside the document root. If
not, make sure it's not viewable or use a php extension such
as .php See also the include_path php directive.

In fact you should be able to do it in a single step by copying the uploaded

You do not specify whether your form should use GET or POST method (I'm not sure whether there is a default). The other is how you are accessing the variable name within php. If register_globals is on in php.ini then just $name is fine, but if its off then use $name = $_GET['name'] or $name = $_POST['name'] depending upon whether you specify GET or POST method.

No, as the name suggests its purely an insight as to where the development is up to at this point in time.

Now, I can understand why it brings up a pop-up-box with the message : The page cannot be refreshed without resending the information. Click retry to send the information again, or click Cancel to return to the page that you were trying to view. while the browser is on the index.php script (with the form). But why does it bring up the same message when the page is refreshed after login.php has been processed ?? If I run login.php independantly (wihout calling it from the FORM in index.php) then it displays some the text, and refreshes without popping up the message box above. All login.php does is display some text, at the moment it doesn't do any checking on the user input. Thanks for any help!

Why are you using $_POST[]? I thought you had to use $_POST['']. I
always use '' instead of and it always works. Is it just
me? Can one
really use double quotes?
Of course you can -- it's just a string! The difference, as with all
strings, is in whether you want variable names to be interpolated or not.
Consider:
$num = 3;
$array = array('var 3'='Interpolated!', 'var $nuum'='Not
Interpolated');
echo $array['var $num'];// = Not Interpolated
echo $array[var $num];// = Interpolated!
echo $array['var '.$num]; // = Interpolated!
Of course, an arrray subscript can be any expression, so to go to extremes I
could even do something like:
$x = 1;
$y = 2;
$a = 'a';
echo $array['v'.$a.r .($x+$y)]; // = Interpolated!
Cheers!

RE: [PHP] Repeat This...
-Original Message-
From: Stephen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Sent: 11 December 2002 02:50
I want to repeat the following code as many times as the user
specifies in the variable $_POST['x']. I then need to have
the output display as all the numbers found in the sequence.
How would I do this?
Code:
$number = 1;
$output = $num3;
do {
$output = $output * $r . , ;
Well, the first time you do this you no longer have a number but a string,
so you're already in trouble
$number++;
} while($number $_POST['x']);
What this is supposed to do is find the next X numbers in a
sequence with the common ratio (r) being the multiplier.
After that, it puts it in a list, and tells the user the next
X numbers in the sequence...
Why don't you just echo each number as you calculate it? Whilst we're about
it, let's use a for loop instead of that cumbersome do while!
for ($output = $num3, $number = 1; $number $_POST['x']; $number++):
$output *= $r;
echo $output, ;
endfor;
If you need to build the string for other purposes, you will need to build
it up in a separate variable:
for ($list='', $output=$num3, $number=1; $number $_POST['x'];
$number++):
$output *= $r;
$list .= ($list?', ':'') . $output;
endfor;
echo $list;
Cheers!

Here's my question:
I'm running code that essentially checks for either a certain IP address
or a password
before it sends a cookie. However, when I try to send the cookie, I get
the standard
Error - headers already sent when I haven't output anything. After some
spot debugging,
I found that
if ( stristr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS[remote_address],XXX.YYY.ZZZ) ) { ...
essentially counts as a sent header. I imagine this has to do with the
fact that stristr
returns a TRUE or FALSE value, but not being an expert in programming
concepts, I wouldn't
know.
Anywho, if anyone knows a workaround for this or could explain the problem
that lies
within, it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [PHP] fgetcsv Help
Richard, I am parsing a csv file with fgetcsv and the fields are surrounding by double quotes, now I am running into a problem periodically that when there are quotes within the value it is treating it like another value instead of the same value. Any ideas on how to get around that? I am thinking I might have to convert all quotes to quot; and then turn all quot;,quot; back into quotes and then the first quot; in the file and then last one since obviously they will not have a comma in between them. This seems like a while lot of work.. Ideas? The first idea is that the system that outputs a .CSV with quotes within a quoted field is broken big-time and that's the part that needs fixing! I'm on the same wavelength as you describe: you can't use any automated csv function on such a file. Quotes should only appear in pairs. The closing quote must therefore appear immediately prior to a field separator (eg comma) - whitespace not withstanding, unless it is the last field on a line, in which case it will appear immediately prior to a record separator. One possibility is to write a 'filter' script to do this - and thus leave your existing code intact. The filter could take in the file, explode on quotes, and then cycle through the resultant array looking at the first non-whitespace data in every second element, clean/recode where necessary, and then implode and output. Alternatively could join/unset consecutive array elements which have been split inappropriately (by 'internal' quotes), and then implode using the other style of quotes/another separator, if this can be made to work later in the process...

[PHP] Re: Objects and Classes?
Shawn:
I beleive I can clarify the purpose of objects/classes for you and
enrich my clarification with a couple of examples.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OBJECT AND CLASS:
A class defines the structure of an object. A class is a template
for an object. An object is a container for data and for functions that
operate on that data. A class is a roadmap -- it defines the object's
structure. You can then create several objects using one class. These
several objects are separate from one another, but identical in
structure. Each can contain different data but use the same functions to
operate on that data.
Functions contained within an object class are called methods.
Functionally, methods are exactly the same as functions except that they
are restricted to the scope of the object. Generally, a method is a
function that operates on the object's data. An object contains variable
data including variables, arrays and objects. These variables are called
the object's properties.
WHEN TO USE OBJECTS:
Objects could be used when you have several similar pieces of data
especially when you wish to have that data manipulated by the same
functions but wish to maintain separation between these data objects.
EXAMPLE:
Let's say, for example, that you wished to store information about a
number of different people within a single script execution. An
insurance site might wish to gather information about the primary
applicant, his wife and their three children all on the same page.
You and I would agree that all people have similar properties; we all
have an age, a height, a weight - we might smoke etc. Therefore, a class
for people could be defined.
class Human
{
var $age;
var $height_inches;
var $weight_pounds;
var $smoker;
function HeightWeightRatio()
{
$ratio = $this-height_inches /
$this-weight_pounds;
return $ratio;
} }
} }
To create an instances of the class (an object) you would use
something like this:
$father = new Human;
$mother = new Human;
Once you have instantiated the class (previous lines) you could then
set the values of the object with code like:
$father-age = 49;
$father-height = 5'11;
$father-weight = 215;
$father-smoker = false;
$father_ratio = $father-HeightWeightRatio();
$mother-age = 47;
$mother-height = 5'5;
$mother-weight = 145;
$mother-smoker = true;
$mother_ratio = $mother-HeightWeightRatio();
By now, I'm sure you get the picture.
THE MOST USEFUL EXAMPLE FOR ME THUS FAR:
class HTMLTemplate
{
var $template;
var $html;
var $parameters
= array();
var $populated = false;
function HTMLTemplate (
$template)
{
$this-template = $template;
$this-html =
implode (, (file($this-template)));
}
function SetParameter (
$variable, $value)
{
$this-parameters[$variable] = $value;
}
function PopulateValues ()
{
foreach ($this-parameters as
$key = $value)
{
$template_name = '!--{' . $key . '}--
';
$this-html = str_replace
($template_name, $value, $this-html);
}
$this-populated = true;
}
function ReturnHTML ()
{
if (
$this-populated)
{
return $this-html;
}
else
{
$this-PopulateValues();
return $this-html;
}
}
}
This class allows you to use an html template file which you can paste
dynamic values/content into. Here's an example of how to use it:
?php
$title = My Web Page;
$content = Hello, this is my

Re: [PHP] Filter vulger / controversial words - need word source
Hi Jon, I think we've seen this discussion on the list before (so Christopher, check the archives!) I'm wondering if someone has a great source for a master-list of controversial and vulger words that I can use on my site. I would like to pattern match input text against this master-list in order to prevent vulger and controversial words from appearing on my site. Once you've got the routine working, post it here, because there are many people who would like to know how to do this properly. The problems that others have experienced in the past are: - what happens with misspellings, e.g. fsck? - what happens with dodgy formatting, e.g f s c k? - what happens with words like Scunthorpe? Problem 1: add likely/popular mis-spellings to the list of vulger/vulgar language Problem 2: (contrived) very few single-letter words exist so remove intervening white space prior to analysis Problem 2a: (the more popular f*ck - someone suffering the misapprehension that (s)he is somehow NOT guilty of using bad language/being offensive when (s)he plainly is not only doing so but attempting to be deceptive as well...) see response to Problem 1 (the probably habit would be to replace/remove vowels) Problem 3: Scunthorpe contains an unfortunate series of letters (amongst the town's many disadvantages) however the critical four are not a word in and of their own right so employ whitespace (\s) in the RegEx or token analysis. May I suggest, rather than picking your way through this minefield, you provide a report abusive comment link instead? Most sensible! The employment of a technological solution to a social problem is somewhat shooting the messenger. However some countries are now legislating responsibility that ISPs/employers must discharge (shooting the person who shoes the horses that the Pony Express messenger is riding!?) In this case perhaps one could analyse the incoming text and place an embargo on its publication on the web site until it has been reviewed by a human editor? If we were talking about filtering incoming email, then perhaps the original message could be forwarded/wrapped with a message from the EmailAdmin/System pointing out that a message has arrived from xyz (etc) and has been flagged for a stated reason (but that there is room for interpretation within the mechanical observation) and that the message should not be opened by anyone fearing offence.

RE: [PHP] Filter vulger / controversial words - need word source
Hi, I think we've seen this discussion on the list before (so Christopher, check the archives!) Quite :-) The problems that others have experienced in the past are: - what happens with misspellings, e.g. fsck? - what happens with dodgy formatting, e.g f s c k? - what happens with words like Scunthorpe? Problem 1: add likely/popular mis-spellings to the list of vulger/vulgar language So when I'm giving a Linux user advice on how to recover from a disk crash, my run fsck comment will get trapped the problem here is that context is *everything*. You just can't know, by seeing the word fsck without any of the surrounding text, whether I'm swearing at another geek or helping them out :-) There will also be problems with slang and idiom - e.g. fag in .uk is a cigarette, but it's something quite different on the other side of the pond. Again, this can only be judged from the context. Finally, the more words you have in your list (to cover common misspellings), the more likely you are to get a false positive (again, context) - and you *will* cause offense if you trap someone's name, for example. Problem 2: (contrived) very few single-letter words exist so remove intervening white space prior to analysis Yup, also line breaks, dashes, asterisks, plus signs, etc etc :-) Problem 3: Scunthorpe contains an unfortunate series of letters (amongst the town's many disadvantages) however the critical four are not a word in and of their own right so employ whitespace (\s) in the RegEx or token analysis. That's a good solution, but it's something that obviously is being missed by many developers of this sort of algorithm... see the couple of followups I made immediately after my original response.

Re: [PHP] Passing variables from script to script
1. the only other ways to pass things around would be in sessions, or by
setting a cookie on the user's computer... i hate the latter, and would
prefer the former, but would NEVER carry things like a MySQL uname and
password around in cookies or sessions. cookies, sessions, and even post
get (url) should be used for user-specific things (who are they, what are
they asking the server to do), not program-related things (like the database
password, or the global font size, or the site admin's email address... this
is generally done with a config file or other included file:
2. you could define your vars (like the MySQL uname and pword) in a config
file, and include it at the top of all your PHP scripts:
? include('incdir/config.php'); ?
html
...
/html
3. you can extend this further, by setting a value php.ini (auto-prepend I
think) so that PHP will ALLWAYS includes the config file at the top of every

Re: [PHP] fgetcsv Help
How is the CSV being generated? Seems to me like your problem isn't ggetcsv(), but rather the file itself. Commonly, a CSV file is a series of values, separated by a comma (duh!!). The separated values are generally enclosed in double quotes (), as it would appear yours are. Any double quotes within each value (eg: she said hello) are escaped with a slash (eg: she said \hello\). If you are generating the CSV, then you can addslashes() to each value to escape the quotes, and then later on, stripslashes() to get rid of them. Sample line from your CSV should look like this: --- 1,foo,harry said \what is it?\,foo 1,bah,\don't know\ said sally,something --- When echoing these values to the browser, you would strip the slashes.

[PHP] Automatic include of files containing functions
On a few sites we have used a master include or function file containing all the unctions required for the site... Some of these function files may contain 30-40 functions and some pages use only 1 function from the file. Would like to be a little more dynamic in our approach of this, and have started moving all the functions into their own files... for example moving connectdb() from the functions.php file to a connectdb.php or connectdb.inc file. Then for any particular php page, we would pull in only the functions that we need for that particular page. From a script/function management perspective this would be ideal. Questions// What would this do as far as speed and efficiency (having to load 4 or 5 includes/requires rather than one larger include that has 25 functions that aren't needed or used)? Then the hard one... Is there a way to have the PHP script dynamically pull in the required include files? for example, have a function at the top of each page to include any files required as a result of functions that exist in the script... ie: this page uses abc() 123() and so it include/require ./includes/abc.php and ./includes/123.php which contain the appropriate functions. OR is there an easier way to manage what is becoming an over abundance of functions for particular sites. Have gotten in the habit of creating a function for anything I have to do more than 1 or 2 times on seperate pages just to speed and simplify code from a design and readability point of view.

Re: [PHP] date() on two diff. servers
Mike, No complaints about explanations in PHP manual - I often say that it IS a cut-above the average. However it does NOT explain the underlying concepts of timestamps, (quite rightly) expecting that we pick up such from other/more appropriate sources. Hence my comments are refering to such sources/attempting to find such sources... Like you, when I re-read that entry in the PHP manual (after your informative reply) I 'saw' the logic and discovered that I had to move the 'location' in my mind-map where I had framed the GMT/TZ adjustment. Fortunately it didn't nullify any design decisions I've made/relied upon. Unfortunately *NIX sources thus far consulted don't seem to feel it necessary to do the same/print anything confirming (and many of them most careless in your GMT point) - and hence the discomfort. It is always difficult to learn new things, and if not more so, can be v.awkward trying to adapt from one philosophy to another, eg Windows to *NIX. Getting the terminology straight is one thing, getting the model worked out another. I don't doubt what you say/am happy to be shown to be wrong, but would sure like to 'prove' it. As I say, am probably just barking up the wrong (Christmas) tree(s). No worries - it's familiar territory!

Would you believe, none appear to clarify this (maybe I'm using the wrong terminology/barking up the wrong trees...). Well, I think the PHP manual is pretty good about this -- all the pages I've looked at are careful to add the GMT timezone indicator when referring to the base date of the Unix epoch, which is pretty much what tipped me off to the correct interpretation.

Re: [PHP] Filter vulger / controversial words - need word source
Jason, there simply is no definitive list of words The fact is content filtering does not work without a heavy dose of human intervention. It is quite shocking that large numbers of well known corporations deploy misconfigured content-filtering software which rejects perfectly innocent email. Earlier contributions highlight this admirably. I was at an Information show last week where a stand displayed the good work of the EU organisation in the field. I spoke to a Brussels(*) wonk/weenie/suit about such legislation (proposed and awaiting national enactment). I suggested that it would be unfair to 'bring to justice' anyone for apparently offending some employee/user's sensitivities without first defining WHAT would cause offence (eg the requested list of vulgar words). Otherwise the first you might know about it is when a court decides (against you) that is unacceptable in polite company. Accordingly I suggested that his department publish such a list (in all of the languages/cultures of the EU???), but observed that he would have a serious problem being able to distribute it without his own office prosecuting itself! As is to be expected, he failed to see the humor (and failed to see the sense/requirement to do so)... The joke is on our Indian friends @upv.pertamina.co.id whose 'filter' simply bounces messages containing Dirty Words, because as you say there is no human involvement so they can't even benefit from Jon's observations. This policy means that every contact/contract with Sc*nthorp that they lose, is deservedly so, and an unfortunate advertisement not to use that country for out-sourcing if the culture-gap is so great!? Summary attitude: hey I'll code it if you want it/pay me to do so, but what are you going to do when you meet the rest of society as soon as you come off the email system? NB it has 'always' been illegal to use such language in (British, and many others) phone conversations, but who does that stop/what filters are in place there? =dn *for the benefit of more distant members: Brussels is the home of many European Union (EU) offices, and the source of much bureaucratic 'stupidity' such as the legislation mentioned earlier. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Filter vulger / controversial words - need word source
there simply is no definitive list of words I agree. In Amateur Radio we faced this problem in the UK in the mid-90s on the ax25/tcpip network when the Home Office made the sysops responsible for content. Filtering messages off for human reading if any words on the list occured was the only practical solution. The sysops gradually built up a list and circulated it. The rules state something like the sysop must take all reasonable precautions to prevent offensive material circulating. So a sysop filtering/human reading is OK if an offensive message got through, whereas one not doing anything lost their licence. This still leaves the problem of the English-only speaking sysop getting smtp/nntp in a different language!

RE: [PHP] Automatic include of files containing functions
I don't know about the efficiency .. but to do it .. you can use
function_exists() to see if a function is already defined if not include the
file for that function before using a function.
Please check this for viability...
# the directory ./includes/ contains
# - get_my_info.php containing the function get_my_info()
# - and numerous other functions which may or may not be
# needed by any particular file
#
# include at the top of each page
# function_do(FunctionName,FunctionVariables)
function function_do($f_name,$f_string){
if (!function_exists($f_name)) {
# function doesn't exists, needs to be included
require('./includes/'.$f_name.'.php');
} else {
# function already exists, no action required
}
eval(\$return=$f_name($f_string););
return $return;
}
/*
...
*/
# when we need to run a function
# instead of...
$my_info = get_my_info('name','account');
# we would do...
$my_info = function_do(get_my_info,'name','account');
This would check to see if the function was already called and included, and if
not, include, then run and return the result. this would avoid having to
include explicitly any files containing functions on any page as they would all
be loaded dynamically.
Am I groking this correctly?

Then I replaced all double quotes with it's html entity equivalent. Then replaced quot;,quot; back into , since that means those quotes are supposed to be there.. hopefully :) then I just stuck quotes on the beginning and end of the line. Created a new file and flushed the data into a new file. If anybody needs the code, I can send it to them. Hopefully though the company will get this fixed! Cheers! Rick I am parsing a csv file with fgetcsv and the fields are surrounding by double quotes, now I am running into a problem periodically that when there are quotes within the value it is treating it like another value instead of the same value. Any ideas on how to get around that?
