well, I have implemented a simple solution, and it is working, but I am
thinking in terms of in the coming year or two of developing more
sophisticated strategies.
Also depending on the size and scale and scope of your data, I'm not sure
that two separate lists is a Good Idea.
Why not? I have arount 1000 products and many searches bring up more than a
few pages worth of data. I would think that it might be good to present the
links to test files along the side.

I'm trying to get the ini_set(error_reporting,E_ALL); work. No matter what
kind of errors I write I just get blank screen when the script fails. Do I
need to also echo the errors to screen? Or can the error reporting be
disabled by the server admin (my adsl operator)? so that no errors are
printed to screen.

William,
I start by trying to programatically find out if I'm in a development or
production environment and setting a constant DEV to true or false. For
me, I development things on my desktop Mac, so the server and client are
the same machine, and share the same IP address. So my check for DEV is
if the client IP and server IP match.
? define('DEV',($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']==$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'])); ?
So, this then gives a constant DEV to test to decide if I'm in the
development or production environment, eg:
Next, I set-up PHP's built-in error reporting for both environments:
?
if(DEV)
{
ini_set(error_reporting,E_ALL);
ini_set(display_errors,1);
ini_set(log_errors,0);
}
else
{
ini_set(error_reporting,E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
ini_set(display_errors,0);
ini_set(log_errors,1);
}
?
In short, this logs most errors in production (not notices), and dumps
them to the screen if we're in development. You'll already see that you
get quite a lot of information from the errors (line numbers, reason for
the error, etc), and I think this is what you're looking for.
But so far this only caters to PHP errors triggered by built-in functions
and source. Smarter programmers will build in their own debugging lines,
custom errors and notices to make the tracking down of bugs and quirks
much much easier. For this, you can use trigger_error()
http://au2.php.net/trigger_error.
That should be more than enough for the average PHP hack, but there is of
course the option to write your own custom error handler to customise the
look and feel of the error messages, send emails, log things to a
database, etc.
It's all pretty powerful stuff, so read up!

Sent: 19 January 2005 06:19
I have a for loop to create a HTML combo box that displays
the 10 year
values, starting from today's year and incrementing until 10 years it
reached.
The output of the loop to the browser is weird.
If anyone has time, can you please let me know where I screwed up?
Here's my loop:
echo 'select name=expire_year size=1';
$numbOfYears = 10;
for ( $i = 0; $i $numbOfYears; $i++ )
{
echo 'option value='. $today_year + $i .'';
. And + have the same precedence, so their order of evaluation is decided by
their associativity; according to the table at
http://php.net/operators#language.operators.precedence, they are left
associative, so the above is interpreted as:
echo (('option value='. $today_year) + $i) .'';
if ( $_SESSION['createStudent_expireYear'] == $today_year + $i )
{
echo ' selected=selected';
}
echo ''. $today_year + $i .'/option';
And this, similarly, will be:
echo ((''. $today_year) + $i) .'/option';
Some ways of dealing with this are:
(1) explicitly parenthesize the addition:
echo 'option value='. ($today_year + $i) .'';
(2) use the multiple parameter feature of echo:
echo 'option value=', $today_year + $i, '';
(3) recast the loop to calculate the end year in advance, which avoids
having to repeatedly do the addition:
$numbOfYears = 10;
for ( $y = $today_year, $end_year = $today_year+$numbOfYears;
$y $endYear; $y++ )
{
echo 'option value=', $y, '';
... etc.
Cheers!

Re: [PHP] Re: Persistent PHP web application?
A lame Example to illustrate the purpose of Application-Scope variables would be the persistant DB connections. Not 100% the same but it's for the same purpose So if you could have a huge object persistant( Application-Scope object ) that does alot of work for you then that object is a PHP persistant application which I call Application-Scope var or object ! Hope that clears it out. For single-server multi-threaded architectures this is trivial to do, but it doesn't scale to the multi-server multi-process architecture PHP uses. -Rasmus don't you just love it, the way Rasmus uses the term 'single-server multi-threaded architectures' and the word 'trivial' in the same sentence - you just know he's on another/higher level :-) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi everybody, How do you save the date and time in the database? Time stamp or date and time? GMT timezone or the server timezone, or maybe the configs timezone? And when displaying apply user timezone to the GMT date? I think it's easier to save in timestamp format, so it's easy to convert to any format and to do math with dates Is this the way?

RE: [PHP] Nested SQL Statements
[snip]
Relatively new to PHP. Having an issue trying to nest sql statements.
Basically I am trying to pull a variable from SQL1, Pass it as a
Variable/Bind or Parm to SQL2 and then Go back to SQL1 and pull the next
value and pass to SQL2 again for processing.
$result1 = mysql_query('show tables',$dbc);
if ($myrow1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1))
{
// display list if there are records to display
$tmptablename = sprintf(describe {$myrow1[0]});
do {
$result2 = mysql_query($tmptablename,$dbc);
echo Table: {$myrow1[0]};
[/snip]
You are not looping through $result1, so you will only get the first
return. Try this for your queries(using error checking)
if(!($result1 = mysql_query(SHOW TABLES, $dbc))){
echo mysql_error() . \n;
exit();
}
while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result1)){
if(isset($myrow)){ //checks that the row is not empty
$tmptablename = sprintf(describe $myrow[0]\n);
echo Table: . $myrow[0] . \n;
$result2 = mysql_query($tmptablename, $dbc); //bad, no
error checking
while($mycolumnarray = mysql_fetch_array($result2)){
echo \t . $mycolumnarray[0] . \n;
}
}
}
This returns the following from a test database--

[snip] I'm working on a script that can be initiated by a cronjob or from a browser. I want the script to act differently depending on which one called it. [/snip] COOL! I am suspecting that there is a question here, and I suspect the question is how do I do this? To see if the browser called it you can check the $_SERVER array http://us2.php.net/reserved.variables or you could pass an arguement from the browser that identifies the browser. If that argument exists the browser has called it, if not, the CRON job has called it. You could also pass an arguement from the CRON command as well. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Storing a reference to an object in another object
Hi All
This is probably just a case of me being Mr Thicky, but maybe someone
can point out the error mf my ways:
I have two classes, call them admin and module. Admin stores login
details as well as a pointer to the DB connection. Module will run
various queries. To do that it needs access to the DB connection
maintained by Admin. Because I don't want to have to keep on passing the
reference to the admin instance, I thought I would store the reference
to the admin instance within the module instance when the object is created:
class Module
{
private $admin_instance;
function __construct($admin_instance)
{
$this-admin_instance = $admin_instance;
}
public function checkConnection()
{
return $this-admin_instance-checkConnection()
}
}
I am using PHP 5 so the reference should be passed and stored in the
relevant object attribute, not so?
Yet, if i call checkConnection it tells me that I am calling a method on
a non-object.print_r() of the module instance makes things even more
confusing: print_r returns:
[admin_instance:private] = [class_name] = blah [admin_instance] =
Admin Object
which is followed by the various attributes of the admin object
suggesting that the reference to the admin object is indeed within the
module instance.
I hope someone can help with this..
Oh, and before anybody asks I am still busy RTFM, STFW, STFA but with no
joy so far.

I use simple define('DEBUG', true'); in the main config file where also
database login info is stored.
for complicated stuff I will usually place if $(DEBUG N ){echo stuff}
lines in the code so I can easily print interesting stuff in various
parts of the script then if I hit a problem place a $DEBUG=1; or
whatever level I want at the top of the script; This way I can turn it
off and on without making code changes other than setting $DEBUG = 0;
when moving to production. This causes some additional work in
production but I suppose if I had that many ifs in there I could write a
script to remove the $DEBUG { } blocks from the code during the move to
production.
Since we are on the topic, does anyone have such an animal? If I write
one, would anyone be interested in it?

As you said, that'll be a heck of a lot more efficient and easier to implement that doing it in PHP. Agreed. I use MySQL's full-text indexing and sort by the relevance score, and it works well. If you do a search for a business at this (now retired) site: http://lwcc.gulfbridge.com , you'll see the relevance scores in parentheses next to each result. One trick I use to limit the display to the most relevant items is to look for a significant drop in this score from one item to the next. I stop listing when the score drops by 40% or so from the last item displayed. -John -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Best way to encode?
I have a form where people input some text, which is then incorporated
into an HTML snippet which appears in a textarea for them to copy
paste into a web page.
People will be entering foreign language stuff as well as special
characters like copyright, so I have to be sure this is handled
properly.
I tried rawurlencode() but that results in HTML which displays the
encoding when they paste it into their web page. I tried htmlentities
but that gives different characters than what they typed when displayed
in the textarea. I also tried no encoding, which worked well, except
that it gets messed up when I try to write it to the database and I
have the same problem again when retrieving it.
Cañon © is a good example.
htmlentities('Cañon ©') - Cañon © in the textarea, displays on their
web page as Cañon © , but reads/writes OK from the database.
rawurlencode('Cañon ©') - Ca%C3%B1on%20%C2%A9 in the textarea,
displays on their web page as Ca%C3%B1on%20%C2%A9 , but reads/writes OK
from the database.
No encoding gives Cañon © in the textarea and displays on their web
page as Cañon ©, but appears in the database as Cañon ©
How can I handle this so that what ultimately displays on their web
page, after copying the HTML out of the textarea, matches what they
typed in the form, and yet can be read written from the database
properly?

hi
this solution, along with ldap browser, worked for me.
however, now i want to change my search string and i'm having problems...
i'm using
$sr = ldap_search($ldapconn,CN=Users,DC=companyname,DC=com, 'CN='.$username);
to search through the ldap directory for the username. this works fine.
but if i try
$sr = ldap_search($ldapconn,CN=staff,CN=Users,DC=companyname,DC=com,
'CN='.$username);
to try to find a match for the username in the group 'staff' (which is a subset
of the 'User' group), then it finds no matches.
if anyone can give some suggestions as to why this change turns up an empty
result set, i'd appreciate hearing from you.
thanks

Re: [PHP] my for loop's gone bananas.. has yours?
Tim Burgan wrote:
I have a for loop to create a HTML combo box that displays the 10 year

The output of the loop to the browser is weird.
If anyone has time, can you please let me know where I screwed up?
Order Of Operations:
. and + have equal precedence.
So they are evaluated left-to-right, in the order they appear.
So this line:
echo 'option value='. $today_year + $i .'';
turns into:
echo (('option value=' . $today_year) + $i . '');
which turns into (using $i = 2 as an example):
echo ('option value=2005' + '2');
which then PHP needs to add two things, neither of which really look like
numbers, but it does the best it can by looking at the front part of your
string, and yields:
echo 0 + 2;
00/option
1 selected=selected1/option
22/option
So all you need to change to keep most of your existing code is
parentheses around: ($today_year + $i)
However, you would have much cleaner code if you just did:
for ($year = $today_year; $year ($today_year + 10); $year++){
}
At that point, all your + $i stuff just goes away, and life gets real
simple.

Re: [PHP] Nested SQL Statements
Greg Cullen wrote:
Relatively new to PHP. Having an issue trying to nest sql statements.
Basically I am trying to pull a variable from SQL1, Pass it as a
Variable/Bind or Parm to SQL2 and then Go back to SQL1 and pull the next

It seems like the SQL2 is getting stuck on the first value passed by SQL1.
Like SQL2 does not rebuild with the new variable.
In my example I am testing reading all my tables and reporting their
definitions. I have other uses for this technique if PHP and MySQL
support.
They do support this, though it might be easier to use the built-in
functions for gathering this kind of meta-data...
?
require_once ('mysql_connect.php');
$result1 = mysql_query('show tables',$dbc);
Don't you want to loop through ALL the tables?
Why then are you doing an 'if' here to test *ONE* result, instead of:
while (list($tablename) = mysql_fetch_row($result1))
if ($myrow1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1))
{
// display list if there are records to display
$tmptablename = sprintf(describe {$myrow1[0]});
The sprintf here is pretty bogus. You're not using anything except the
first string argument, so basically you're just confusing readers with the
sprintf() bit.
Of course, by tearing apart the result's row in my while loop above, this
also gets simplified:
$tmptablename = describe $tablename;
do {
$result2 = mysql_query($tmptablename,$dbc);
echo Table: {$myrow1[0]};
// Create page headers
echo table border=\1\ cellspacing=\1\ width=\80%\
id=\{$myrow1[0]}\;

those silly s.

/tr
Though now I know why the whole if/do-while mess...
It's much easier to either:
A) Use http://php.net/mysql_num_rows to decide to print table headers, or
B) Go ahead and print them, but if there are NO rows, use:

The REAL problem you are having is that *WAY* up at the beginning of this
loop, you set $temptablename (or whatever it was) *OUTSIDE* this loop.
So the describe ... never changes, and you keep describing the first
table, even though you are looping through all the tables in the do-while.

echo No Tables;

Re: [PHP] searching and sorting
I agree. That is a wise statement, and I have tried to do this with
regular
expressions but this doesn't deal with relevance at all, or is there
something that I am missing? I suppose I could do multiple searches on my
data to look for sports cars first, cars second, and sports last.
Then
I could deal with the separate issue of the text files.
Your database may provide a full text search system you can use, which
would be Good in terms of performance, but probably Bad in terms of
portability.
If you need portability, something like this:
?php
$words = split('/\\s/', $_POST['search']);
//Ignore multiple inputs of same word:
$words = array_flip(array_flip($words));
$query = select fields, you, need, ;
//This is for real:
$query .= (description like '%$search%') ;
reset($words);
while (list(, $word) = each($words)){
$query .= + (description like '%$word%') ;
}
$query .= as score, ;
//This is just for debugging, so you can see where points are garnered:
$query .= (description like '%$search%') as perfect, ;
reset($words);
while (list(, $word) = each($words)){
$query .= (description like '%$word%') as 'word_$word', ;
}
$query .= 'filler' ; // Just for the extra comma at the end of the loop
$query .= from whatever ;
$query .= order by score desc ;
$matches = mysql_query($query) or trigger_error(mysql_error() .
$query, E_USER_ERROR);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($matches)){
list($fields, $you, $want, $score) = $row;
//For debugging only:
echo Scoringbr /\n;
echo Perfect: $row[perfect]br /\n;
reset($row);
for ($i = 0; $i 4; $i++) each($row); //Ignore stuff we already printed
for ($i = 4; $i count($row); $i++){
list($word, $points) = each($row);
echo Word match ($word): $pointsbr /\n;
}
}
?
You'll need to convince MySQL to convert boolean to 0/1.
You can also apply scaling factors so that a perfect match gets, say, 10
points, intead of just 1:
$query .= 10 * (description like '%$search%') as perfect ;
This is crude, but effective, and can easily be ported to any SQL engine
-- Except, of course, for the data-type conversion from a boolean result
to int, which you need to tweak, but that should be fairly easy to work
out a hack for all SQL engines, perhaps by using a variable function name:
$query .= 10 * $sql_bool_to_int(description like '%$search%') as perfect ;
You then define $sql_bool_to_int for each SQL engine you need, and Bob's
your uncle.

[PHP] Mssql Connection
Hi there..
I´m connecting to a Ms Sql Server 2000, with the system administrator´s name,
and its password.
It always works fine, but... I know it´s not the safest way of connecting, so I
want to use some ordinary user names and passwords.
The problem is that I just can´t make it work, it always throws username
errors.
How should I configure this, in order to connect to mssql with ordinary
usernames and passwords from php code?
Here is my function code:
function conectar ()
{
$conexion = mssql_connect(localhost,sa,apr);
if (!$conexion)
{
?
DIV align=center
FONT face=Arial color=FF size=3
B# Can´t establish connection with database server pc./B
/FONT
/DIV
?php
exit (0);
}
if (!mssql_select_db(GES_WEB))
{
?
DIV align=center
FONT face=Arial color=FF size=3
B# Can´t establish connection with the specified database./B
/FONT
/DIV
?php
exit (0);
}
return $conexion;
}
Thanks!!

[PHP] Re: Best way to encode?
Hi,
use base64_encode() and base64_decode
actually, base32_encode or hexencode would be better, but oh my, php doesn't
have these built in.
If you're using PEAR there is a DataObject_Filter class somewhere that's
handy for encoding decoding on the fly.
Kind regards,

I have a form where people input some text, which is then incorporated
into an HTML snippet which appears in a textarea for them to copy
paste into a web page.
People will be entering foreign language stuff as well as special
characters like copyright, so I have to be sure this is handled
properly.
I tried rawurlencode() but that results in HTML which displays the
encoding when they paste it into their web page. I tried htmlentities
but that gives different characters than what they typed when displayed
in the textarea. I also tried no encoding, which worked well, except
that it gets messed up when I try to write it to the database and I
have the same problem again when retrieving it.
Cañon © is a good example.
htmlentities('Cañon ©') - Cañon © in the textarea, displays on their
web page as Cañon ©, but reads/writes OK from the database.
rawurlencode('Cañon ©') - Ca%C3%B1on%20%C2%A9 in the textarea,
displays on their web page as Ca%C3%B1on%20%C2%A9, but reads/writes OK
from the database.
No encoding gives Cañon © in the textarea and displays on their web
page as Cañon ©, but appears in the database as Cañon ©
How can I handle this so that what ultimately displays on their web
page, after copying the HTML out of the textarea, matches what they
typed in the form, and yet can be read written from the database
properly?

Re: [PHP] Storing a reference to an object in another object
Rory McKinley wrote:
Hi All
This is probably just a case of me being Mr Thicky, but maybe someone
can point out the error mf my ways:
I have two classes, call them admin and module. Admin stores login
details as well as a pointer to the DB connection. Module will run
various queries. To do that it needs access to the DB connection
maintained by Admin. Because I don't want to have to keep on passing the
reference to the admin instance, I thought I would store the reference
to the admin instance within the module instance when the object is
created:
class Module
{
private $admin_instance;
function __construct($admin_instance)
{
$this-admin_instance = $admin_instance;
}
public function checkConnection()
{
return $this-admin_instance-checkConnection()
}
}
I assume this is not your actual code (by the manner in which you wrote
above - '...,call them admin and...'). are you absolutely sure there is
not a typo somewhere? like 'adnin_instance' or 'admin_imstance'
you better off posting actual code snippets and removing sensitive data
(assuming your allowed.)
I am using PHP 5 so the reference should be passed and stored in the
relevant object attribute, not so?
correct :-) no. 1 benefit in php5 - proper objects.
Yet, if i call checkConnection it tells me that I am calling a method on
can you call the checkConnection() method in the __construct() of Module?
a non-object.print_r() of the module instance makes things even more
confusing: print_r returns:
[admin_instance:private] = [class_name] = blah [admin_instance] =
Admin Object
which is followed by the various attributes of the admin object
suggesting that the reference to the admin object is indeed within the
module instance.
I hope someone can help with this..
I do this kind of thing the whole time (references to parent,
application and subobjects - circular references not being a problem), I
can't see that your doing anything wrong. though there is not much code
to go on.
Oh, and before anybody asks I am still busy RTFM, STFW, STFA but with no
good for you :-)
joy so far.
bummer. post some more code ;-)

You may also want to, perhaps, put the unset() of older data inside your socket listening/reading loop, so that you are unset-ing the really old stuff as you read the new stuff, to always keep your array small in size. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

In early days of PHP objects, you sometimes couldn't use two arrow

So an easy way to maybe fix this and move on with your life:
$admin = $this-admin_instance;

Hey, you're missing a ';' at the end of that line there... Hopefully not

You can do something like:

while (list($keys, $value) = each($_POST['keyField'])){
$keys = explode('][', $keys);
list($key1, $key2) = $keys;
$realKeyField[$key1][$key2] = $value;

Re: [PHP] Mssql Connection
having said that any HTML in production envs should degrade nicely for older browsers. it doesn't have to look the same but it should be accessible. It won't be if you use CSS. I can't count the number of CSS sites I've skipped because their links don't work (in my browser) due to CSS. Buh-bye. exactly what browser do you use? and how does CSS break links? (let me guess you disable background images?) besides you can turn off stylesheets completely if you want. Until the hard drive crashed a few months ago, I was using a Mac PPC 9100/100 with OS 8.6, the most stable OS for that hardware. I was using IE 4.01 (?) the most stable browser for that OS -- Though even that meant at least one crash a day :-( But nobody was buying me a new computer, so there it stayed. Randomly selected links would simply NOT WORK in HTML that was perfectly valid, if that HTML used CSS extensively. If I really wanted the content, I'd view the source and copy/paste the link. But if I was just surfing? I'd just go on to a different site. CSS is a good thing. semantic mark and decoupling of style is a good ting too. Sure, up to a point. But since I generally use PHP to de-couple my business logic from my output, enough to make it easy to alter the look-and-feel any time I want, I don't see the need to use CSS to do the same thing, and then not be degrading nicely on ancient browsers. I've also seen a TON of man-hours wasted separating interface logic from interface, which seems kind of silly to me... I mean, if your interface elements change, your interface logic is going to HAVE to change, if you're going to have any decent scrubbing/validation at all, or any kind of nice layout that isn't all generic looking. Not that I'm a good enough designer to actually achieve that :-) I guess I've always seen the separation more along the lines of: Interface Elements (HTML) and Input/Output to Interface Elements -- layer --- Business Logic -- layer --- Underlying Libraries of common code -- layer --- . . . -- layer --- Operating System I know I'm a heretic to leave the I/O to Interface with the actual interface, but I've never yet seen a case where separating them in the real world caused anything but wastage. YMMV. its a bit weird if you consider that you seem to be willing to view an all image page with loads of nested tables for positioning and tons of font tags. but the same page written in a 10th of the HTML with a nifty stylesheet which references a number of bg images is told to bugger off. I don't know about the all image page, as they tend to be awfully slow sometimes, but I've never had a problem with tables -- writing them or having them work, and since my font tags all come from a single PHP function, it's not like a big hairy deal to do the exact same thing you'd do with CSS -- I change the font in one place for the whole site, and I'm done. And the CSS positioning in older browsers invariably ends up being completely whack. You get some image floating right on top of, and obscuring, the text content I want to read, and I'm not a happy surfer. So I achieve the same goals as CSS, only it actually degrades nicely on those older browsers. [shrug] Yes, CSS sites look much nicer, and have cleaner-looking text, and that image placement with text wrapping around it is really pretty... But I'm simply not (yet) willing to abandon that .01% == hundreds of thousands of users who can't view CSS sites. Maybe in a year or so, and already for sites where I have prior knowledge of the userbase/browser not being *that* old. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] NT domain info
Hi NG! Does anyone here know of a way of getting at the user account information from a windows domain controller from a Linux box, specifically in PHP? I was thinking of writing a COM object for the windows box running a simple socket service for updates, but that seems like an awful lot of coding (not to mention having to write COM garbage).

[PHP] Serving WML
Hi again - thought it best to keep the two topics separately... I have just leased a virtual hosting package and want to provide GPRS access to my email server using WML. Now I have a couple of test pages that I have put up on the server that I want to view, but can't seem to get to them. I am not really sure about how GPRS works, but I thought that any internet server could serve WML as long as it was valid. I have read a little about gateways and from what I have read it seems that it would be my phone company that was responsible for providing that. Any ideas?

[PHP] class structure.
Hi there, I am pretty new to writing classes (and pretty new to PHP
itself), but I was wondering what was the best format for constructing
classes. Now for example, i have written 2 versions of a class that
accomplish the exact same thing. And I was just wondering if there are
any advantages to either, or even if one was formatted more so to
standards. Just wanting to learn it the proper way from the get go. My
classes are formatted for use in flash remoting (hence the methodTable
stuff - you can ignore it). I guess my question refers more towards the
declaration of properties, etc.
[ VERSION 1 ]
?php
class Sql {
// Set properties
//DB info
var $hostname_local = localhost;
var $database_local = mydb;
var $username_local = root;
var $password_local = password;
var $local;
var $query_rs_biz;
var $rs_biz;
function Sql() {
$this-methodTable = array(
getRecords = array(
description = return a SQL record,
access = remote,
arguments = array()
)
);
}
//SQL
//Create method to retreive records
function getRecords() {
$this-local = mysql_pconnect($this-hostname_local,
$this-username_local, $this-password_local) or
trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
mysql_select_db($this-database_local, $this-local);
$this-query_rs_biz = SELECT * FROM directory ORDER BY Business ASC;
$this-rs_biz = mysql_query($this-query_rs_biz, $this-local) or
die(mysql_error());
//return $this-row_rs_biz;
return $this-rs_biz;
}
}
?

var $database_local = Blisting;
var $username_local = root;
var $password_local = URAredneck;

Re: [PHP] Best way to encode?
Are you talking about page encoding? if so try utf8 on the pae with the
form. (meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html;charset=
utf-8 /) it handles just about any language for input. and as long as
you don't want to do a search on the input it can go right into the
database (table character_set = utf8) for later extraction and display
on a utf8 page.
if you're talking about encoding to hide the data - use base64_encode
and base64_decode.

I tried rawurlencode() but that results in HTML which displays the

that it gets messed up when I try to write it to the database and I have
the same problem again when retrieving it.
Cañon © is a good example.
htmlentities('Cañon ©') - Cañon © in the textarea, displays on their
web page as Cañon ©
rawurlencode('Cañon ©') - Ca%C3%B1on%20%C2%A9 in the textarea, displays
on their web page as Ca%C3%B1on%20%C2%A9from the database.
No encoding gives Cañon © in the textarea and displays on their web page
as Cañon ©, but appears in the database as Cañon ©
How can I handle this so that what ultimately displays on their web
page, after copying the HTML out of the textarea, matches what they
typed in the form, and yet can be read written from the database
properly?
