creating it.
I already did that and like I said, it's always the correct path. Look  
at the very first line of the code above which was in the original path.

Thanks for the tip on is_dir.

 $_SESSION is a superglobal meaning you don't need to and shouldn't
 (as you found out the hard way :) global it.  You can access it
 anytime:

 class foo {

 $this-var = $_SESSION['var'];

if you have locate just type

find is more complicated you could try something like

Re: [PHP] MySQL Left Join Question

I'm not clear whether you are saying you get the records where there is a

What happens if you take out the WHERE clause, do you get all the records from 
p being displayed with NULLs for c.projectid where no match exists?

[PHP] accessing $GLOBALS values

2003-09-02 Thread Dennis Gearon
I am looking at the 'tackle' library available at sourceforge. It's a 
'Tiny ACL' (access control list). Seems pretty good, simple and to the 
point.

   AND, it is database neutral, using ADODB. I haven't figured out how 
it does referential integrity in the database yet, but I suspect it's 
using table locking.

One thing I'm a little confused about is the usage of $GLOBALS array, in 
this manner:

  $GLOBALS[SOME_NAME].

I thought that it should be:

  $GLOBALS['SOME_NAME'].

[PHP] Re: Copy database from MySQL to MSAccess

2003-09-02 Thread Leonie
Hi Kjell

I'm not sure whether you are transferring from within the webserver, or from
the webserver to MS locally, but either way I'd set up the MS database
locally.  Just install the MySQL ODBC driver (I think its at the mysql.com
website) and link all the MySQL tables to your MS Access database and just
import the tables using the processes within Access itself.

Afterwards you can transfer the Access database up to the server.

If you are doing the database functions wholly within the server you might
consider using the Pear DB database abstraction layer to make it simplier.
(That's how I'd do it anyway).

Cheers
Leonie

Guessing in the dark i can tell you that you are not using the correct 
encodings for your message. It's not really a good idea to use the

news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[snip]

 One thing I'm a little confused about is the usage of $GLOBALS array, in
 this manner:

$GLOBALS[SOME_NAME].

 I thought that it should be:

$GLOBALS['SOME_NAME'].
Hi,

You should use quotes to tell PHP it's a string you're using as a key of
$GLOBALS. However, when not using quotes PHP will first look for a constant
with that name. If PHP can't find any, it will assume it's a string. So not
using quotes might lead to problems when you use the name of a constant as a
key.

I hope this is clear, more info can be found at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php and scroll down to
'Array do's and don'ts' - 'Why is $foo[bar] wrong?'

first, this is a meassage you are getting from your mail server,
not from PHP.

according to my knowladge this is due to email address routing
problem which the mail server experience when it tries to relay the

if you can send me the complete bounce mail message you recieve

Re: [PHP] Foring a file download *and* page reload

You can use either a meta tag or real header, the later is prefered.

?php

header('Refresh: 0; url=download.zip');

?
html
!-- your html page here --
/html
The browser loads the page and immediatly goes to another page 
(download.zip). This page will prompt the Save As dialog.

[PHP] Re: Copy database from MySQL to MSAccess

2003-09-02 Thread Kjell Hansen
Hi Leonie
My approach is to have the empty AccessDB on the server. Make a copy of it
and insert all the tables into the copy and then have it downloaded from the
server. So I'm actually never gonna use Access, it's just the database I'm
using for storage of data.

One way of doing this could be to store the table definitions as
SQL-statements in another table, but I'm not very thrilled about that idea.

Is there a facility out there that I can use to automatically backup my

Re: [PHP] Restart Apache with PHP???

2003-09-02 Thread Raditha Dissanayake
hi,

There isn't a specific PHP api for this. But you can execute shell 
commands through various mechanisms included exec, backticks etc etc. 
All of this is deadly dangerous of course because you need root privileges.

Search the archives.  Somebody wanted to restart their server using a
web page, and a clever solution was pointed out.  By creating a script
that monitored for a particular file in temp and restarted the server if
it existed it, and cronning it for every minute, they could do it safely
and securely.

 server. So I'm actually never gonna use Access, it's just the database I'm
 using for storage of data.

Well ODBC implies that you are going to have a database program (i.e.
Oracle, SQL Server, Access, whatever) to connect to.  At least that's
how I understand it to work.  So if you don't have a copy of Access
running you will need to figure out how to export it to Access format,
or a way to export it easily (Excel lets you open up XML spreadsheets,
which are pretty easy to create using PHP.  ).

[PHP] Session var read by form C++ CGI prog ?

2003-09-02 Thread John Bryan

I need to use something like a session variable to make a variable available to an 
existing form-invoked C++ program which takes as input a file being uploaded.  Is this 
even do-able ??If so, what am I missing here ???

The C++ prog used to use the REMOTE_USER env var set by the web server but we are no 
longer doing authentication via the webserver itself, so this one does not get set, 
and I need to set something myself. The C++ prog would had been grabbing this by 
getenv(REMOTE_USER).

I was trying some php to set a session var 'UPATH' but the UPATH variable doesn't seem 
to be visible to MyCppProg.exe :

--snip--

?php
$_SESSION['UPATH'] = 'foobar';
?

form enctype=multipart/form-data action=MyCppProg.exe method=post
  File to Upload: input name=file type=file input type=submit value=Send
/form

--snip--

I am new to php, have been digging around on the web, and not making a lot of headway 
quickly enough, so I'm asking.

Hi,

Had a similar problem when building upload progress bar. Initially i 
used cookies but that had a few minor hiccups. What you can do is to 
encode your variables into the query string. This is accessible as part 
of the env. variables. Since you are familiar with C++ you will get the 
hang of PHP very quickly.

oh and btw the correct way to set a cookie is with session_register(), 
$_SESSION is used for retrieval.

all the best

Thanks, very much, Raditha.

Do you mean to pass my variable as a cgi parameter ?

If so, the problem is that this file that is being uploaded via the form to the 
program MyCppProg.exe gets sent as THE input to the prog, apparently as a cgi-type 
parameter through stdin (i.e. cin), so that when I try to pass the value as a cgi 
parameter, it gets inserted INTO the file that is being uploaded.

Am I understanding correctly, or did I miss the point ?

Er, nope.  If you have a version of PHP with the $_SESSION array, then you use it for 
both setting *and* retrieving -- session_register() and friends should *not* be used 
in this case.  (Indeed, there are circumstances where the combination of

Hello,
If you use input type='hidden' yes they will be part of the input 
stream. What i suggested was you have
form method=post action=/cgi-bin/mycgi.exe?qid=123 then you can 
retrieve the query string variable from the env. (at least this works 
with perl cgi and i don't see why it shouldn't work with C++ as well).  
the only draw back is that you have to process the qstring yourself.

I'm not sure what you mean, do you mean let each users mark messages as

you could create a read_bool BIT in the table and for each user
reference it.  Of course, if you don't expire forum entries or index the

There are a number of possible solutions.  If i remember correctly some

Try different things.  Sometimes the easiest way to do things is to FTP

The file would already exist on the client side.  They are uploading the file to be

So I need to set an 'environment' variable that remains visible to scripts and progs

I'm hoping to not have this variable have to be part of the file that gets uploaded.

[PHP] evaluating dynamic variable

2003-09-02 Thread Steve Goodman
Hi,
I'm having trouble evaluating a dynamic variable. I want to check if the
variable $_POST[resolutions$i] is an empty string, as you'll see from the
code. However, every way I've tried to check the variable so far (including
empty() and eval()) always returns a null value, even when the variable
should contain a value. I've probably been doing something wrong in my
previous efforts. Can someone recommend a way to reliably evaluate this
variable?

for ($i=1; $i=$entries; $i++) {
   if($_POST[resolutions$i] !== ''){
do_something();
   }
  }

Thanks.

 Hi Verdon,
 
 Be sure that $connobj is declared as a global variable in the

 1) instead of $connobj = blah, use $GLOBALS['connobj'] = blah 2) global
 $connobj; $connobj = blah

Re: [PHP] Session var read by form C++ CGI prog ?

2003-09-02 Thread CPT John W. Holmes
From: John Bryan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 The file would already exist on the client side.  They are
 uploading the file to be processed by this program
 MyCppProg.exe, which is invoked as a form 'action'.
 This already works, but depends on the Apache variable
 REMOTE_USER being set when user logs in, but we
 moving to implement a different method for authentication
 that involves talking to two different Oracle databases,
 password rules, etc., so this REMOTE_USER variable
 no longer gets set since we are bypassing Apache's
 authentication here.

 So I need to set an 'environment' variable that remains
 visible to scripts and progs within the session space, that
 can then be grabbed by the MyCppProg.exe, for example
 with getenv(MyEnvVar).  It used to use getenv(REMOTE_USER).

 I'm hoping to not have this variable have to be part of the file that gets
uploaded.

Ah, I see now.

If you're using a file upload box and submitting that form directly to your
.exe, then there's probably not much you can do.

In order to do this, I think you'll have to intercept the file.

When the user submits the file, it goes to a PHP script that copies it
somewhere. Then see if you can make an exec() call to the system and set the
REMOTE_USER variable, somehow. I'm not sure on the syntax/possibility of
that, it would depend upon your OS. Then make another exec() call to your
C++ program and send it the path the the file that was already uploaded.
Capture the output and show it to the user or do whatever you normally do.

Does that mean you solved it? Remember that PHP is case sensitive, too.
$_POST['Resolution'] is not the same as $_POST['resolution'].

If you're still having trouble, go back to some basic debugging. Do a
print_r($_POST) so you actually know what $_POST contains, to begin with.

Of course.

However, I don't understand what you need help with.

There are many ways to store data with PHP. You can use the filesystem, a

How do you display the form again when there is a notification?

Something as simple as:

input type=text name=some_name value=? echo
htmlentities($_POST['some_name']); ?

will (safely) remember POSTed variables when you show the form again.

 You could also use get variables.

 Say the company name is in the database and you have to redirect

 to add_new.php, in your header call
 you could say something like:

 header(Location:
 add_new.php?field1=$_POST[field1]field2=$_POST[field2])

 but I would just use session vars.

 Pushpinder Singh Garcha [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/02/03 04:03PM

 This is the way it works

 there is a table with company name as the primary key.

 1.   A logged in User enters details of the company he/she wants to
ad

 to to the MySQL DB. This form is embedded in
add_new.php  which call add_new_result.php as a POST
method.

 2.   if the company name exists in the DB the user is alerted and
and
 asked to choose a different company name.

Now my question is , when the user comes back to the
add_new.php
 page he looses all the data that he had entered.
 I hope this makes it clear.

 Thanks again

the only draw back is that you have to process the qstring yourself.


Actually, upon further reading it seems I won't be able to do this.

If I pass parameters in this fashion, the web server will make them available in 
QUERY_STRING, but I need to use the GET method.  

The form is using the POST method so that the file that is being uploaded and 
processed gets handed to the cgi program through stdin.

So looks like I can't have it both ways, i.e. POST and GET, stdin and query string env 
var.

Hi,
I have a class which write a menu, it works fine with Mozilla and Opera 
but with IE (6 on XP) got a extrange behaviour.
Links works and submenus are open, but the second time the page is 
loaded I can not see the source and if I try to save the file IE says 
some files are missed.
The environment:
Apache 2 on Windows XP PHP, 4.3.2 as apache module on Localhost

mod_rewrite send all the request for valid html/php files internally to 
index.php

if no session
	include javascriptAutoForm_class.php
	(send a client side script, post the result and save post in session, 
saves too original page requested)

include Menu_class.php
include template.php
(From the session pageRequested menu is built and correct content is 
loaded with an include)

The HTML source i can check with opera and Mozilla is correct (all tags 
closed and quoted attributes)

If some one can help or point me in the right direction (if needed can 
send the full script by mail) would be grand

Yes. Remove those first ten lines (assuming they are removable) from the
original file you had them in and then include them in the old file with
include_once().

Then in the file you want to only include the ten lines just include the
smaller file.


Example: (I'm changing your 10 line requirement to 2 lines.)

Original.php:

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 5

Take out Line 1 and Line 2 and put them in 2lines.php.

2Lines.php:

Line 1
Line 2

Then Original.php becomes this:

include_once 2Lines.php;
Line 3
Line 4
Line 5

Then in your other file that you need the 2 lines you can do just this:

NewFile.php:

include_once 2Lines.php;



HTH!

I have never tried it, but I think you could open up the file you want
