Re: [PHP] Post Array elements to URL / was: Database Search .............

you need to build a string which looks like:

which you append to your URL like so:
searchresults.php?Stat[1]=value1Stat[2]=value2...Stat[n]=valuen
This can be done using a foreach() on $_POST['Ind'],
and implode(). Remember
to validate each item as you go along.
Not sure if this means I need to use both a foreach
and implode or one of them.
Right now I have this :
?php
$stats = $HTTP_POST_VARS['stats'];
if (is_array($stats))
foreach ($stats as $key=$val ) {
print $key = $valbr /;
}
?
I'm wondering how I change from printing it our to
getting into the URL.

RE: [PHP] Converting a string into ASCII and a bit more - newbie
Hi Klaus,
Thanks you very much both for your quick reply and guidance. Yes, it now
works as it should.
I have a few further questions all related to the subject if you wouldn't
mind.
One is: how can I do the following (sort of maths) with a secondary string
of ascii values i.e. 25203030
with this result string from the first operation (65666768697071727374)
should be processed as
(65+25)(66+20)(67+30)(68+30)(69+25)(70+20)(71+30)(72+30)(73+25)(74+20)
So it actually is a nested loop but I am clueless how to accomplish this in
PHP.
Then finally I will convert the resulting ascii values string back into
chr's. I think I know how to do this. (Finally).
Thanks again for your time and help.

I think you forgot to increment $x. Add an $x++ at the end of your
loop and it works.
And by the way: It's better to write $result .= $holder if you want to
append a string to another. That's shorter and (more important) faster.

You are really *much* better off using mysql_fetch_assoc().
$checked[]=$list;
Instead of of slapping the whole of $list into $checked, just stick in the bit
you want, namely amenityID.
So assuming you've changed to using mysql_fetch_assoc():
$checked[]=$list['amenityID'];

For those who recognize this topic from me and perhaps are sick of it , my apologies :) This is actually a different question more about logic then syntax or functionality.

RE: [PHP] Database search logic question
A couple of possibilities are: Store search criteria (form entries) in MySQL Store query string in MySQL If the user has to log-in then the MySQL table would be keyed on the user_id or similar. If the user does not have to log-in then you will most likely need to store something in a client-side cookie that references the saved query details. On one of my sites I allow users to either build a query via a step-by-step procedure or manually enter a query statement. It is the statement that I store in the database together with a name they supply and their user id. This allows the user to save multiple queries and recall them at a later date by a name that they supplied.

Not to most URLs, no, but if the SID is being passed in the URL you *must*

Fortunately, this, too, is easy, and the OP was making it way more
complicated than it needs to be! ;) The constant SID only contains the
session name and id *when it needs to* -- otherwise it's defined as the
empty string. So you can unconditionally append it to URLs and get the
right result:
header('Location: simple2.php?'.SID);
The only tidying-up you might want to do, if you're really obsessional about
neatness, is suppress the '?' if SID is empty, so:
header('Location: simple2.php'.SID?('?'.SID):'');
I can't see any benefit in applying strip_tags() to SID, unless you're
terminally paranoid -- as it's generated internally by PHP, there shouldn't
be any way it can contain anything that strip_tags() would defend against.

Below is the code that performs the sending:

{
$pps_name= $row['pps_doc'];

Im not sure what is causing the problem, the attachment is a powerpoint
slide, Ive tried the various Mime Types for pps, all with the same

the body.

Note on inline C assembly: When you use inline C assembler several thing happen: 1) C compiles itself to assembler 2) Your inline assembly code is then inserted properly 3) Asm compiles to opcodes (And assembler compiler is required: MASM - used by ms compilers, TASM-borland etc..)

I already suggested that it may be a problem in your PHP configuration.
However, since you did not show your php.ini file it is hard to help
without further cooperation from you.
I also suggested that you try this class that comes with a wrapper
function named sendmail_mail(). It emulates mail() function except that
it sends the message directly to Postfix sendmail emulation wrapper. I
know that you do not want to use anything that isn't part of the core
PHP, but at least trying this class you will be able to tell whether it
is a PHP problem or a Postfix problem depending on whether the class
function works or not.
BTW, keep your change, but if you want help, you need to help us helping
you.

[PHP] Dinamically adding methods to an object instance?
I've seen that's possible to add public members to objects dinamically,
such as:
?php
class TestClass {
public $One=1;
}
$Obj = new TestClass ();
$Obj-Two = 2;
echo $Obj-Two;
?
There'll be a public Two member that's not defined in the class.
Is it possible to add methods dinamically to an object instance in same
way? how? will these methods have access to private and protected
members of the class of the object?
Thanks a lot in advance...

You can add methods dynamically, but not in the same way that you can
add properties dynamically. You have two options:
1) Overloading the object
2) Using the classkit extension
(2) requires that you can add extensions to PHP on your server -- so,
for hosted solutions, it's out.
(1) can be accomplished in two ways, but in each, you need to setup your
class to allow overloading in the first place.
PHP4 has the overload() function; read about it at
http://php.net/overload
overload() sets up an environment where the magic methods __get(),
__set(), and __call() (this latter would be used to handle dynamic
methods) are utilized.
PHP5 has overloading built into the object model; see
http://php.net/oop5 for more information.
Either way, you need to add a __call() method to your class and tell it
how to handle dynamic methods.

[PHP] Weird virtual() behavior for nested require()
I'm getting a weird behavior when virtual() calls another page that
uses a require(). The behavior seems contrary to the docs for virtual.
Consider these four files:
-- foo.php --
This is foo.
?php virtual('subdir/bar.php'); ?
-- foo.shtml --
This is foo.
!--#include virtual=subdir/bar.php--
-- subdir/bar.php --
This is bar.
?php require('./baz.php'); ?
-- subdir/baz.php --
This is baz.
According to the docs, virtual() handles the argument as an Apache
subrequest -- in other words, it should be equivalent to an SSI
include. But it's not. As I would expect, foo.shtml produces this:
This is foo. This is bar. This is baz.
Here's what I get from foo.php:
This is foo. This is bar.
Warning: main(./baz.php): failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in
/blah/blah/blah/subdir/bar.php on line 2
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './baz.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php')
in /blah/blah/blah/subdir/bar.php on line 2
Oddly, it works if bar.php says require('baz.php') instead of
require('./baz.php'). That smells really bad. Is this a bug, or am I
missing something?

Paul

[PHP] Column Totals
I am trying to get the total sales revenue for each day of the month, and
having no luck at all.
The following query seems to return an empty string, which should only give
me the total for the entire column anyway.
$query = SELECT SUM(Revenue) FROM Sales WHERE Date='$Date';
I also tried, among many, many things, to use a for loop to get the sum for
each date, month to date, such as:
$Today = date(d);
for ($i = 1; $i $Today; $i++) {
$query = SELECT SUM(Revenue) FROM Sales WHERE Date='$i';
}
In case it helps, sample table data might look like this:
OrderNoOrderDateRevenue
1 79.95
1112 1 39.95
1113 3 89.95
and I am trying to produce something that would show:
TABLE
TR
TDDate/TDTDRevenue/TD
/TR
TR
TD1/TDTD119.90/TD
/TR
TR
TD2/TDTD0.00/TD

RE: [PHP] Help: Database Search
You can't do WHERE Industry = 1, 2, 3 unless that's something you can
do in MySQL but not the other DB's I've used.
What you CAN do is us IN:
WHERE Industry IN (1, 2, 3)
Or..
WHERE Industry IN ('1','2','3')
IN basically does a Industry = 1 OR Industry = 2 OR Industry = 3 type
thing.
If there's a more efficient way to do your query, I'd recommend it.
IN or even the multiple OR statements can be very intensive on a
database with a high load or tons of rows. But it's definitely the
right answer for some solutions.
If you have 8 categories for Industry and you're doing IN (1, 2, 3, 4,
5) then you might consider doing a 6, 7, 8 type thing (I'm
guessing you can do NOT IN (6, 7, 8), just never done it). The fewer
things you're checking in your WHERE clause, the less work your DB
server has to do.

RE: [PHP] Hacking attempt
Sounds like someone replaced their INDEX.PHP with something else. Short answer: You can get the INDEX.PHP back if you restore it from a backup copy you should have. If you don't have a backup copy, then you can't get it back most likely (unless it's on a system that you can manage to undelete from, but chances are it's been over-written by now). The bigger question is How do we keep someone from replacing our PHP scripts again?. I'd do some research on PHP security. Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities are big these days and many (all? Need to do more research) can be handled by the PHP developer by scrubbing user input sufficiently to make it impossible. Also, keep up with the latest versions of PHP as they tend to patch security issues that are known to exist (can't patch something that nobody's reported though). And the biggest must do Keep backups. If you gotta, you can always just copy over the hacked pages with a few copy of your latest/greatest PHP scripts.

Re: [PHP] newbie question
Hello Max,
Monday, November 15, 2004, 6:26:43 PM, you wrote:
MK } else if ($_POST[FirstName] != ) {
Where you use $_POST you should have the syntax as follows:
$_POST['var']
(note the quote marks)
Without them, PHP is going to think you're passing in a constant
called FirstName (etc) which of course you're not.
MK $add_table = INSERT into table values (NULL, '$_POST[FirstName]',
MK '$_POST[LastName], '$_POST[Address], '$_POST[City],
'$_POST[State],
MK '$_POST[Zip], '$_POST[phone],'$_POST[email]);
MK mysql_query($add_table) or die(mysql_error());
You really *really* shouldn't insert POST data directly into a table,
for reasons please see Chris's very good read on PHP Security here:
http://shiflett.org/php-security.pdf
But back to the question in hand - try and see what has happened,
extend your code a bit at the end:
mysql_query($add_table);
if (mysql_error($conn))
{
echo Something bad happened with MySQL: . mysql_error($conn);
}
else
{
echo There was no SQL error;
}
Try outputting the SQL (echo $add_table) and then pasting it into
PHPMyAdmin or a MySQL command session and see what it gives you. If
that works fine, the error is in the communication with the MySQL
server (authentication perhaps) and not the SQL itself.

RE: [PHP] Column Totals
Because you don't technically 'need' it, unless you're trying to reference the results by column name and you're using an aggregate like that. :) And in most systems, you don't need the AS just a space and a new name: SELECT SUM(Revenue) Revenue FROM Sales Where. But all depends on your style. I don't think the SQL Server or Oracle server I deal with care if you put the AS in there or not. Again, it's not required unless you're relying on a name coming back with the result set, then you might want to be explict with an alias like that. Also, when you use aggregates, remember that they'll they group the non-aggregate functions based on uniqueness. This will happen even if you're not displaying the non-aggregate functions, so you may get repeats of some things that you can get rid of by using SELECT DISTINCT Sum(... But if there's anything non-unique in what you're using in SELECT or WHERE, it'll use that for grouping. This includes the hours, minutes and seconds in a date field sometimes. If the query below worked for you, then I guess it's enough for MySQL (is that what you're using?) but in some systems it may not be and you may get every row in the database non-SUM'd because the dates all have different seconds in the time. In that case, you'd need to section out the day/month/year and compare based on that or something. Just some pitfalls to watch out for when you're not used to aggregates and grouping. -TG -Original Message- From: Ben Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 1:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Column Totals That did it perfectly.

[PHP] newbie question
Hello all,
I am new to php programming and web programming in general. I have
created a php file that if it works will create a simple form for
inputing contact information and then once the submit button is
pressed, the information is saved into a MySQL database.
When I try to submit, I get no error messages, but no data goes into
the MySQL table. I have verified that my MySQL User and Password are
correct and I believe I am actually connecting to the database.
Please look at what I have created and tell me what I am doing wrong,
what I can do better, why I am an idiot, et .al.
Thanks,
Max

Greg, I'm sure you already understand this but I just wanted to add to
your statement for those that may not.
Javascript should not be relied upon for data validation as a security
measure. It should merely be used as a convenience to the user (so they
don't have to wait for a page to reload just to see some error notices)
and to take load off the server (so the server does not have to process
a page 10 times while the customer refines their input to match your
criteria). Having said that, make sure to always have server side
validation in place even if you *do* in fact also use Javascript on the
client side.

[PHP] Date handling
Hello, I would like to find out the 'official' way to handle dates in PHP. I am aware of the limits on a Unix timestamp, but I am writing a financial application that needs to deal with dates both before 1970 and after 2038 and of course have run into problems when trying to format those dates using the date() and strftime() functions. This of course then also impacts Smarty as Smarty's date_format modifier is just a wrapper around strftime(). I am looking at the PEAR Date module and that seems to resolve these issues, but I would like to know if that is the standard/official way to handle dates in PHP applications as in my application, I would like to have one handler for dates, rather than separate code for dates within the Unix timestamp range and for dates outside - so if I switch to PEAR Date, I will use it everywhere in my code since I cannot take any chance of using date() or strftime() and possibly getting invalid data. Additionally, are there any plans to make an official PHP date extension that handles dates outside a Unix timestamp range as something built into the language itself rather than as a '3rd party extension' which the PEAR Date module appears to be since it's not in the core PHP language?

In PHP you can take it apart and put it back together.
$date = explode('-', $array['date']);
If it's an actual date or time field in MySQL, you can use
date_format() to reformat it in the query and skip the PHP.

Ok, I was not aware that both POST and GET can be used at the same time. Yeah, you can do that. GET requests are just where the info is passed via the URL. You don't even need a FORM to do GET variables. Just do scriptname.php?getvar1=Testgetvar2=Test2 Then use $_GET[getvar1] or whatever you named them. You can also use $_REQUEST[] to get any data put into $_GET, $_POST or $_COOKIE (superceding in that order I believe.. That is, it gets all the GET data first, and if there's a POST variable of the same name, it overwrites the GET version... And COOKIE overwrites POST). If that answers any of your questions, great, if not, try planning ahead a little instead of asking the list to write the functionality code for you. Okay, so showing me how something works is now wrong ? No one has shown you code or explained a better method at some function ? This particular post has went way passed its course. Thank you for your help. Probably...Understand that there are a lot of people on here who post a lot of responses and help a lot of people and they have bad days just like everyone else. So while you ask for patience and consideration for your questions, be sure to show some patience and consideration for those who bother to respond. It's a two-way street. I mean, if people got nasty every time someone asked a question that was answered with YOU HAVE REGISTER GLOBALS TURNED OFF NOW!! or other questions that we all probably ran into when we were starting out ourselves, then we'd have a lot of flaming going on here.

[PHP] Error when I try to display 20 records per page
Hi,
Im using an HTML search form that passes the searchterm to a php file.
In my case the searchterm can have 1000s of records in my database, so I
implemented a limit which displays 20 records per page. The pagination
function works fine with one exception. Example of my problem: searchterm
typed in the html search form equals ford, in the database there are 2000
fords, the first page displays 20 fords and then the next page forgets that
we are searching fords and displays the equivalent to a wildcard %
search and displays accordingly.
Does anyone have sample code for using an HTML search form with pagination?
Generally what Im trying to do is type a searchterm on the html search
page, have the php file run the query and if it is an item that has many
results to display it 20 records per page without it displaying every record
in the database.

Start with the first error message:
Notice: Undefined index: searchterm in
C:\Inetpub\cars\search\my_php_file.php on line 2
Then look at line 2:
$searchterm=$_POST['searchterm'];
This indicates that $_POST['searchterm'] is undefined. Why isn't it defined?
In order to show up in the $_POST array, it would have to be POSTED, ie you
could put it into a hidden field that could show up after the user pressed a
Submit button.
However, it doesn't appear that you are doing that. (Either that, or I snipped
too much off your original post!) You have Previous and Next hyperlinks, each
of which passes the page number in the query string. Perhaps you could also
pass the searchterm(s) in the query string. Or, you could store them in the
$_SESSION array. If you do this, be sure to start the session.

Re: [PHP] Date handling
Hi Justin,
Thanks for your reply. Actually the main issue that I'm running into is
that I cannot get Unix timestamps before 1970. I'm running on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (kernel 2.4.21-20.EL). If I run:
?php
echo strtotime('1950-01-01');
?
the script outputs -1, which then of course translates to 1969-12-31.
According to http://us2.php.net/strtotime, it says ... dates prior to Jan
1, 1970 will not work on Windows, some Linux distributions, and a few other
operating systems.
I'm guessing Red Hat Enterprise or at least the kernel I'm using (which is
the latest RH kernel) qualifies under the Linux category above. Also, with
the application I'm writing, I need to deal with dates after 2038 too. So
that is why I'm investigating alternatives - just because I'd like something
that would definitely work on any platform and is 'official' as much as
possible - rather than have my date handling be OS-specific.
Thanks,
Ryan

What is quoted-printable and why would I use either that or base64_encode() over one another? code below, thanks again in advance $to=[EMAIL PROTECTED]; $mime_boundary = --==+X[.md5(time()).]; //Sort out your basic headers as usual, by piling them into a $headers string. $headers .= From: binc2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n; $headers .= To: bingi [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n; //Then you've got to specify the type of content you're dealing with. This is also put into the $headers string. In this case, it will be mixed between text, and some kind of attachment, hence the Content-Type bit. The boundary bit uses the boundary variable you made earlier: $headers .= MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n; $headers .= Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n; $headers .= boundary=\.$mime_boundary.\; //Next, get on with piling the message into a $message string. You need quite a bit of header looking stuff in here. The first bit is what is displayed if the client receiveing the email doesn't support MIME, followed by the boundary string (preceded by --, not sure why). $message .= This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n; $message .= \r\n; $message .= --.$mime_boundary.\r\n; //Next comes the actual content of the email, each part needs it's own mini header describing what it is. $message .= Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\iso-8859-1\\r\n; $message .= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n; $message .= \r\n; $message .= Email content and what not: \r\n; $message .= This is the file you asked for! \r\n; $message .= --.$mime_boundary.\r\n; //Finally, a plaintext attachment. In this case I already put your contents into $fileContent. $message .= Content-Type: application/octet-stream;\r\n; $message .= name=/home/httpd/vhosts/futurealpha.com/httpdocs/pps/049.jpg\r\n; $message .= Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\r\n; $message .= Content-Disposition: attachment;\r\n; $message .= filename=\049.jpg\\r\n; $message .= \r\n; //content of the attachment section $pps= /home/httpd/vhosts/futurealpha.com/httpdocs/pps/049.jpg; $pps_size=(filesize($pps)); $fp = fopen($pps,'rb'); $file = fread($fp, $pps_size); /* Encode The Data For Transition using base64_encode(); And get a 32-character hexadecimal number */ $fileContent .= chunk_split(base64_encode($file)); $message .= $fileContent; $message .= \r\n; $message .= --.$mime_boundary.\r\n; $ok = mail($to, file by email, $message, $headers); Manuel Lemos [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/15/2004 5:26:25 PM Hello, On 11/15/2004 12:28 PM, Angelo Zanetti wrote: I have a script that is supposed to use the mail function to send an email with an attachment, however, when run the script I dont get any errors but in the body of the email there is a lot of mixed up text, which i presume is meant to be the attachment.

Re: [PHP] unable to upload a directory using the web brower (HTTP).
cant you create the folder using php and then copy the contents (files)
to the newly created folder?
eg:
$uploaddir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/mydir/'';
if(!is_dir($uploaddir))
{
$old = umask(0);
mkdir($uploaddir, 0777);
umask($old);
}
$uploadfile = $uploaddir .
$_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$uploadfileDB = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
if
(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile))
{
echo (font face=Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold File is
valid, and was successfully uploaded. /font);
}
not sure if this is what your looking for???
hope this helps

Um, look like I'm going to have to write a JAVA programming and have a
couple of friends to come to help me out with it. Suck though! So,
applets it is...
Zip it up, that gonna be tought because of lack of good cross-platform
support. We have Robo-Help for Windows, since windows zip only work
for
windows then I http it over to AIX and have php extract it. So, does
the
GNU zip work for that or not? Probably not too well. So, applet is
the way
to go. It will also help me to avoid the need for the su or sudo
command
cause it doesn't work through Apache account too well.
Thanks,
Scott

Most? I thought all.
So, I can't use the php's
function, is_uploaded_file and move_uploaded_file. Because the
web
browser
see the folder as something to open with, like going down one
directory.
So, any advice or suggestion??
Zip it up. Or signed applets or activex objects
