 Do I have to go through all that to get score[0] ?

substr($P1OC1Q1, 0, strpos($P1OC1Q1, '¶')-1)

That will return every thing to the left of '¶'. and '' if nothing

Re: [PHP] Sessions

2003-08-17 Thread Peda
Thank you all for your help.

I solved the problem using
session_save_path(/some/dir/) in php script.

But now I have another question.

Every time when I'm using .htaccess file and try to connect to my site I get
this message:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the
error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the
error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.


Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying
to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

When I put in .htaccess file:

php_value session.save_path /full/path/to/your/own/tmp/directory

as you told me, I get the same message and in my error_log I get this
message:
[Sun Aug 17 12:31:42 2003] [alert] [client 213.240.5.14]

Hello eveyone.

I want to upgrade my php install from 4.2.2 to 4.3.2. I'm pretty new to
linux so I don't know how to install from source and I haven't been able
to find any Redhat 8 rpm's.

Can someone please give me instructions as to what I should do? (Maybe
links to a site where I can find the correct rpm file or instructions on
how to install a new version of php from source.. etc.)

I have just upgraded my (Mandrake) system by doing:
- Upgrading from Mandrake 9.0 to 9.1 using the CD's
  that came with the UK Linux Format magazine of
  june 2003:
  www.linuxformat.co.uk
- Then I installed the Apache Source version 2.0.45
  from the CD-ROM that came with PHP Magazine 4.2003
  www.php-mag.net
  and I compiled it, which went very smoothly
- Then I installed the PHP Source version 4.3.2
  from the same CD-ROM and compiled it. (Which
  takes more tinkering.)

The complete process took a while, especially because
I first tried to install from binaries, but it works
very well now, including a GD that supports true color
images etc.

I'm not saying that I think that Mandrake is currently
better than RedHat, but when I switched from Redhat
(5.2 or 6?) to Mandrake 7.2 (?) some years ago it's
installation process was even simpler than that of
RedHat (on which it is based).

In my experience it's a lot of work to upgrade all the
libraries by hand, because they are much too interdependent
and hard to locate on the WWW.

Some tips:
- Install Apache and PHP from source.
- Reboot your computer from time to time between installing
  things and changing .ini and .conf files, just restarting
  Apache is sometimes not enough it seems.
- Put a personal readme file in each directory, describing
  what you did to get things working. (This will help a lot
  next time.)

BTW. There is a separate mailing list about installing PHP.
You'd better ask there and look in it's archive etc.

Jaap

Can I change that permission?

I made a script to use mysqldump (in my script the result is send as an 
email attachment, with a debug option so it tells you what may be wrong. In 
your case, it is possible that mysqldump is not in the path, or even 
absent. Read the comments in the script. It needs some time to set up, with 
all the paths and other settings.

[PHP] problem with sessions - IE working after session.use_trans_sid enabled.

2003-08-17 Thread anders thoresson
Hi,

I've had some problems with Internet Explorer not working on the site I'm 
building at the moment. At my local system it worked, but not on my ISP. 
After comparing the session settings, only use_trans_sid differed: enabled 
at my local system, disabled at remote.

Before I changed anything IE worked only when accessing the site at my 
local host, while Opera managed to access it both local and from my ISP. 
After enabling session.use_trans_sid in my .htaccess on my ISP, Internet 
Explorer can be used even there.

Ok. I've solved my problem, but don't really understand how 
session.use_trans_sid made the difference?

[PHP] mod_php issues with security or stablility?

Hello, 

I work for a large web hosting company and we currently use php.cgi. We are
considering changing to use mod_php. Is anyone aware of any security issues
with using mod_php? Are there any stability issues? Theoretically, could a
customer write php code that could crash Apache? Any other pros or cons to
mod_php vs. php.cgi? 

We have been using php as a cgi for many years and no one seems to remember
why we starting running it as a cgi rather than an Apache module.

What is the error you get? Print out the command you're trying to run to 
make sure it looks right. Remember that commands run as the web server 
user, so ensure that use has permission to run mysqldump. You may need 
to provide the complete path to mysqldump.

Just one thing to note: If you set the session save_path in your file

well .. that's odd. I use the same directive multiple times without any
problems. The error tells that it thinks the php module which should provide
this directive is not available. Odd thing is that you can run PHP scripts,
so the PHP module is loaded .. so to speak.

Somebody got a clue on this one? Maybe php was compiled without support for
this directive .. or smth?

Re: [PHP] How to connect to DB

Take out the @ so you can see what error is returned.

Echo your defines to confirm that you are getting what you expect.

Double check that you have the browser set to refresh on every call to a page.

Clear your cache.

Use the header() function to add code at the top of the page to force a 
refresh.

Re: [PHP] mod_php issues with security or stablility?

mod_php is the recommended installation for Apache.  Thousands of people 
use mod_php with Apache.  When I switched to mod_php from CGI I saw a 
significant performance increase, also you can not use things like Turck 
MMCache in CGI mode.  In short  not that I'm aware of, you might google 
for it but you should be fine.  On cavaeat is with CGI PHP can execute 
as  the owner of the script, with mod_php it executes as the web server.

[PHP] Parsing HTTP_USER_AGENT

Hello:

What I'm trying to do is parse the HTTP_USER_AGENT into formatted text.
Here's an example:

PHP gets user's browser and OS through with HTTP_USER_AGENT.

How would I parse this. One example would be fine. I know I have to do it
for every possibility, right?
Is there a way for me to do it so that, it only outputs the major browsers
such as Mozilla, Opera, Netscape or IE?

Also, what would I do to parse the OS?

Finally, here is the project I'm working on:
http://members.lycos.co.uk/xtrinity/golucky/image.php

I'm trying to make it like Vipersig:

  The 'usual' trick is to set the date to the first day of the month

 Actually, the usual trick is to ask mktime() for the 0th day of the

 (http://www.php.net/mktime) even illustrates exactly this.

  The advantage of doing it this way is that your tree structure is

 Which is why you should use the Modified Preorder Tree Traversal method
 instead. With that method you've got one table that defines the

 Your SQL queries end up looking something like this.

2003-08-17 Thread Greg Beaver
Hi Ohmer,

T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM is the incomprehensible name given to the :: 
operator.  However, if you use the tokenizer extension like so:

?php
$a = '?php name::thing() ?';
$b = token_get_all($a);
echo(token_name($b[3][0]));
?
You'll see T_DOUBLE_COLON - a much more descriptive name :).

So, look for an accidental double colon, perhaps in a case statement

switch (blah) {
case something ::
}

Regards,
Greg

[PHP] Discussion: do you consider null a value or strictly a type?

2003-08-17 Thread Robert Cummings
There has been a recent thread on the internals list as to the meaning
and usage of the null datatype. Zeev claims, perhaps rightly so, the
following:

Zeev wrote:

 null is not a value, was never meant to be a value, and won't be a
 value

Interestingly though, the PHP documentation at

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.null.php

indicates the following:

The special NULL value represents that a variable has no value. NULL
is the only possible value of type NULL. 

Which is obviously contradictory since it claims to be a variable having
no value and yet also claims it is a special value. Also the following
snippet from: 

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.assignment.php

seems to also indicate that null is a value -- namely:

The basic assignment operator is =. Your first inclination might
be to think of this as equal to. Don't. It really means that the
the left operand gets set to the value of the expression on the
rights (that is, gets set to). 

The above reference might not be obvious, but since you can assign the
null constant, then it says the left operand gets set to the value
of... seemingly indicating that null is a value.

Now the point of the discussion is not to indicate who is right or who
is wrong -- that would appear to be a ridiculous argument. I am more
interested in finding out the practices and experience of PHP
developers. I'd like to know how many people treat null as a value, and
how many do not. For instance to you ever assign default values of null
to instance variables, or local variable, or array entries? I know in
practice that I have, and find it quite convenient to represent a
default value.

Cheers,
Rob.

[PHP] Efficient structure

[PHP] re: shell_exec

2003-08-17 Thread John
All I want to do is execute a perl script. I do not care about output to
browser. I have used shell_exec, system, exec, and backticks with no
avail.

Here is what i have now in my php page.
shell_exec(perl data/addSite.pl .   /tmp/error  );

I know the perl script executes because a basic print statement in the
perl script is outputted to /tmp/error. However anything else in the
script not having to do with output is not executed. The perl script is
basically supposed to add a file. That is it. The perl script is fine
from command line. All paths are correct and like I said I do not care
about output to the browser for the user. My questions is why does the
perl script execute (and mostly work) but not execute certain pieces of
code when executed from my php page.

I'm trying to create a multidimensional array of values to update a 
Filemaker db. Edits to existing fields end in numbers (the record

the multidimensional array:

$updateEntries = array(); //stores existing db entries
$ord = -1;
$recNum = 0;
foreach ($_POST as $key = $value) {
   if ($value != ) {
   $lastPartPos  = strrchr($key, '_');
   $lastPart = substr($lastPartPos, 1);
   if (preg_match(/[0-9]+/ , $lastPart)) {  //if it's an 
existing update
   $lastpartnum = strrpos($key, '_');
   $firstnum = substr($key, 0, $lastpartnum);
   $first = str_replace('_', '.', $firstnum);  
//restore periods to field name and strip off record ID at end
   if ($lastPart != $recNum) {
   $recNum = $lastPart;
   $ord++;
   $updateEntries[$ord] = $recNum;
   }
   $updateEntries[$ord][] = array($first, $value); 
//populate nested arrays of each entry
etc..

PHP Fatal error:  [] operator not supported for strings
How do I make $updateEntries[$ord] evaluate as an array?

[PHP] Nestled 'while's or 'for's or 'foreach's -- I'm lost

2003-08-17 Thread Verdon vaillancourt
Hi, somewhat newbie warning :)

I'm trying to take a paged result set and divide it into two chunks for
displaying on the page. Basically making something that looks like a typical
thumbnail gallery. I'm limiting my result set to 6 records and want to
display it as 2 rows of 3 cells with a record in each cell. I've had no
trouble getting my result set, paging etc. I'm not having much luck
splitting my result into 2 chunks. I've tried nestling 'while' statements
with a number of arguments and either end up with no results or a loop that
seemingly never ends. That lead me to looking at some other apps which
seemed to use a variety of ways to achieve what I want. That lead me to
looking at 'for' and 'foreach' in the php manual. And that lead me to being
more confused than I was before I started ;) Sometimes there's just too many
ways to skin a cat, eh!

Below, I've include a rather lengthy bit of pseudo code that represents
basically where I'm at now. This particular version returns no results,
though I know it's just the nestled while's that are causing this. The
results are there. My research makes me think that I should replace the
nestled while's with 'foreach's. I was kind of hoping that before I spend a
few hours trying to puzzle out how to use the 'foreach's correctly that
somebody would venture an opinion as to whether or not that would be the way
to go.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

RE: [PHP] Nestled 'while's or 'for's or 'foreach's -- I'm lost

2003-08-17 Thread Petre Agenbag
OK, Difficult to see from your pseudo code EXACTLY what it is that you
want to do, but I'll take a stab anyway...

Firstly, instead of using your elaborate ways of running through the
result set and extracting the variables, use something like this:

$sql = whatever;
$result = mysql_query($sql);

echo 'tabletrtdID/td.../tr

while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
extract($myrow);
//or $id = $myrow[id]; etc.
...
//construct your table here
echo 'trtd'.$id.'/td.../tr';
...
}
echo '/table';


You must also remember that in cases where you do limit queries, and
want to continue on the next page, you must remember that your result
will NOT contain the next page's data. You will need to do another
query with the new limit data. It *looks* like this is what you are in
fact attempting in your code, just making sure...

In your case, I would say the easiest is to call the page onto itself.
Ie, your first query will be 
$sql = whatever limit 0,6;

it will return the (maximum) 6 rows and then, on your next link you
should include the data for the next query. Ie, create a link like this:

a href=same_page.php?limit=xstart=yNext/a

Meaning that you call up the same page that you used to display the
first query results, but you pass it different values for the start and
limit numbers in the query ( x,y ).

To recap, one of you biggest mistakes in the pseudo code below is that
you open a the table inside the while and close it as well (which is
fine if you want to create a table for each row you display , BUT, you
close the table again AFTER the while, that *could* cause the HTML to
freak out. So, the reason your app is not working is probably not PHP
related, but related to the fact that you are creating erroneous HTML
with your PHP. The pseudo code you are using *should* work, although, as
I stated above, there are easier and more efficient ways of doing the
same thing as per my example...

Year's ago I was told that NULL means Don't know, and to take it a little 
further, one could argue that it represents the state of a variable, rather 
than its contents. Once a concrete value has been assigned, even if it is a 
space or a zero, the state of the variable is no longer NULL.

I also think, in discussing NULLs, that we hit a limit of language - we 
have to refer to this not knowness as something. Thus a variable set to 
NULL is not like an empty bucket, more like a bucket with potential, but if 
you examine it reveals not   's, or 0's, but a benign vacuum.

This is not a value, but it is a convenient shorthand to refer to it as such.

Now, shall we discuss imaginary numbers?

 Try if png support is enabled. But you'd have

 Otherwise you'll have to ask your system

It works fine on my local Win2k, php 4.3.1, but not on my ISP:s Sun

Is there a better way to backup my database?

I made a script to use mysqldump (in my script the result is send as an 
email attachment, with a debug option so it tells you what may be wrong. In 
your case, it is possible that mysqldump is not in the path, or even 
absent. Read the comments in the script. It needs some time to set up, with 
all the paths and other settings.

What is the error you get? Print out the command you're trying to run to 
make sure it looks right. Remember that commands run as the web server 
user, so ensure that use has permission to run mysqldump. You may need 
to provide the complete path to mysqldump.

Hi,

I've had some problems with Internet Explorer not working on the site I'm 
building at the moment. At my local system it worked, but not on my ISP. 
After comparing the session settings, only use_trans_sid differed: enabled 
at my local system, disabled at remote.

Before I changed anything IE worked only when accessing the site at my 
local host, while Opera managed to access it both local and from my ISP. 
After enabling session.use_trans_sid in my .htaccess on my ISP, Internet 
Explorer can be used even there.

Ok.

 Now the point of the discussion is not to indicate who is right or who
 is wrong -- that would appear to be a ridiculous argument. I am more
 interested in finding out the practices and experience of PHP
 developers. I'd like to know how many people treat null as a value, and
 how many do not. For instance to you ever assign default values of null
 to instance variables, or local variable, or array entries? I know in
 practice that I have, and find it quite convenient to represent a
 default value.

I've never used null as a value. Basically I just use '' as a null
value, which changes some logic I used vs. other languages. for
instance, take these values (or non values):

  false, 0, '', , null

if each is seperaly assigned to a variable the expression always
yields the same:

  if ( $var) { }

Which is why, I assume, the === operater was born.  Although I've
only used that operater maybe once or twice, because I have been
used to having my logic not rely on the type of data that is
stored.

This also leads me to believe that the statement:

  if ($var === null) {}

would be considered illegal or  fail no matter what since null is
not a value and has no type associated with it.

 I know the perl script executes because a basic print statement in the

 script not having to do with output is not executed. The perl script is
 basically supposed to add a file. That is it. The perl script is fine
 from command line. All paths are correct and like I said I do not care
 about output to the browser for the user. My questions is why does the
 perl script execute (and mostly work) but not execute certain pieces of
 code when executed from my php page.

The odds are that the perl script is running the code.  The problem
most likely is permissions.  The web server generally (and should
be) running as a different user.  The user has very little
permissions to the file system by default.

You'll have to fix the permissions on the directoy that the
perl script is trying to modify.

Of course, it doesn't fail, because null is a value:

?php
$a = null;
var_dump($a === null);
?
Try that.  you get true

null is a value that represents nothingness, kind of a variable 
equivalent of the number 0.  I know there's been lots of blather about 
whether null is a value on an intellectual level, but if it wasn't a 
value, you couldn't assign it to a variable.  That's how programming 
languages work.  int is a type, for example.  You can't do this:

$a = int;

You can do:

$a = (int) $b;

null is not a type.  You can do:

$a = null;

but can't do:

$a = (null) $b;

You have to use the type unset:

$a = (unset) $b;

So, null is a value of type unset in the way that PHP has been designed. 
   The odd thing is that unset() can't be used to create a variable of 
type unset, the way array() is used to create a variable of type array - 
this is the only inconsistency.

?php
$a = null;
var_dump(is_null($a)); // doesn't throw a warning
unset($a);
var_dump(is_null($a)); // throws a warning
?
It doesn't matter much what people think about it, PHP has implemented 
null as a value, and I actually find that quite useful.  It helps to 
represent the difference between 0 and '' and NULL returned from a 
database query (yes, mysql supports all three), and also is useful in 
specifying default values for parameters to a function that can also 
accept boolean false.

 Hi, somewhat newbie warning :)
 
 I'm trying to take a paged result set and divide it into two chunks for

 display it as 2 rows of 3 cells with a record in each cell. I've had no
 trouble getting my result set, paging etc. I'm not having much luck

This can easily be done using the mod operator (%):

$cols_per_page = 3; 
$cols_per_page_break = $cols_per_page - 1;  // just to speed the loop

echo table;
echo trthCol Headings/th/tr;

$counter = 0;

  $new_row = $counter++ % $cols_per_page;
  if ($new_row == 0 ) {

  echo tdCol Data/td;

  if ($new_row == $cols_per_page_break ) {
// close and open a row
print /tr;

// Make sure the row was closed in case of uneven recordset.
if ( ( ($counter - 1) % $cols_per_page) != $cols_per_page_break ) {
  // close and open a row
  // cause we didn't close it in the loop
  print /tr;

2003-08-17 Thread Cesar Aracena
I would encourage you to use double quotes instead of single quotes
inside the PHP code. After this, you must comment HTML double quotes so
the PHP engine does not consider these as part of its code. I would type
your example like this:

?php

echo Email: a
href=\mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED].$row_rep_RS['repEmail']./a;

?

Note how the only concatenated string (using periods) is the variable
$row_rep_RS[] and the double quotes inside the HTML link were commented
using a backslash.

Hi,
I am thinking of making a program for  personal use which does a very
simple
thing, just displays listings under categories,
eg:
under main category Auto there would be cars,bikes etc
under banking there would be financing,loans etc (I as admin
create
master and sub-categories)

then if you click on cars you would either see a sub category or all
the
listings there

I have never done a project like this so am a bit confused but I am
pretty
sure quite a few of you must have done this because its a bit common on
the
net and while I am kind of new to php, most of you guys are fossils :-D

So far the logic I have worked out is:
Create a master_category table for the main categories, a
child_table
for the subs, a the_listings table for the details which will have a
reference (number or word) field which will be to keep a reference as to
which category/sub-category it belongs to..

Tell me if my logic is wrong or I missed anything

The part where I am confused is, on the front page (say index.php) how
do I
display all the categories and sub categories in the correct order?

eg:

Auto
--Cars
--Bikes

Banking
--Finances
--Loans

Any ideas? I searched hotscripts and google but found crappy programs
like
phpyellow and zclassifieds which are really no good to me. If you know
of
something that already does the above kindly share it with me.

Thanks,

[PHP] get current path

2003-08-17 Thread Tim Thorburn
Hi,

The PHP site seems to be down right now ... so here's the question:  Is it 
possible for PHP to tell me the current path of a page?  For example: 
www.whatever.com/this/page.php - I'd like PHP to return /this/page.php ... 
is that possible and if so, how so?

TIA
-Tim

[PHP] comparing xml files, removing some html tags

2003-08-17 Thread Robert Mena
Hi,

I need to compare two XML files in order to find if
they are similar, i.e their DOM tree have the same
structure.

The ideia is to use Xerces to balance HTML files in
order to create Xhtml and then compare.

To make things a little easier for Xerces I am
considering to remove some elements that do not make
diference for my similarity point of view, for
example, script/script tags, before calling
xerces.

So I was wondering which regular expression should I
use to remove the scriptcontent/script and so
on...

regards.

PHP site looks up to me, though I have been having intermittent
difficulties recently with one of the servers - us4 I think.

To get the current path of the page or other webserver-related
environmental informatio, check the contents of the $_SERVER superglobal
and all will be revealed.

[PHP] How do they do that?

2003-08-17 Thread John Taylor-Johnston
I was wondering.
http://www.php.net/date
gives me/redirects to:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

How do they do that?
What $_post[??] is that? Or is it a sevrer (Apache, I suppose?) thing?

I don't know how php.net does it, but I know how I'd approach it - either a
custom 404 handler which examines the incoming URL and redirects to the
appropriate page, or mod_rewrite. See

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/mod/core.html#errordocument

and

[PHP] Got failed while calling strtotime().

2003-08-17 Thread Larry_Li
I moved website from NT to W2K and got problem of date conversion. I'm
using MS SQL Server. In SQL Server, the data looks like 06/09/03. I got
06 9 2003 12:00AM in W2K and Jun 9 2003 12:00AM in NT. strtotime()
works ok on NT, but return -1 on W2K.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

06 9 2003 12:00AM is not a valid date string.

I knew it's incorrect format. But why string from NT is correct? I don't
want to change source codes on website migration.

when you say you got (06 9 2003 12:00AM in W2K and Jun 9 2003
12:00AM in NT) how are you getting that value?

[PHP] Cannot output before input

2003-08-17 Thread Chris Lee
Hi All,

I run the following program at Windows command prompt

c:\php\cli\php.exe input.php

?php
print Input:;
flush();
$fp = fopen(php://stdin, r);
$input = fgets($fp);
fclose($fp);
echo $input;
?

The program did not show out Input: and waiting for input after run!
Any hint to flush the output first?

I am using PHP 4.3.2 (cli) (built: May 28 2003 15:10:38)

Regards,
Chris Lee
