Nowhere in your query are you actually specifying which author you want
to get results for.  You need to use the variable passed to the page as
part of the query.  Try adding something like the following to your
where block.

Author.ID = .mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['ID'])

This gets every author several times over, then throws away the
duplicates.

Not what you want.

First thing:
WHERE Author.ID = Author.ID

This is just silly -- Author.ID will ALWAYS equal Author.ID
It's a tautology, like,  WHERE 1 = 1

Get rid of it.

Next, you really should NOT be storing the Author Name in both tables.

Suppose somebody gets married?

Suppose Cassius Clay changes his name to Mohammed Ali.

Suppose Madonna writes for you.

You should store an Author_ID field ni Writings so that you are
comparing the ID Numbers, not names that might change tomorrow.

Finally, you are JOINing the Author table and Writings table here, and
then throwing away all the info from the Writings table, just to get
the Names.

Either use JUST the author table to get JUST the names, or get BOTH
their Writings *AND* their names.

 $GetAuthors = mysql_query($query_GetAuthors, $connDerbyTrail) or die
 (mysql_error());
 $row_GetAuthors = mysql_fetch_assoc($GetAuthors);

I have written forms for clients such that they can upload their 
products, image, price, product ID,  and such and data is 
automatically posted to their MySQL dB, and from there, is available 
to their on-line catalog and from there, the products are just a

and works. No money other than your time to set it up.


shameless plug
If you want a more traditional shopping cart, you might look into 
Shop Script (I'm a distributor). I've installed and set-up a few of 
those. They cost, but are set up for an easy admin for civilians. If 
interested, contact me privately.

Re: [PHP] question about magic_quotes_gpc not adding slashes into $_GET

2006-04-09 Thread Richard Lynch

That is incorrect.

There *IS* a setting for another magic_quotes_runtime, which will do
addslashes to all data coming FROM the database.

That's a particularly silly setting UNLESS your entire application
consists of taking date out of one database and shoving it into
another database -- which is extremely rare.

But, if you *DID* have such an application, and if you *DID* have
magic_quotes_runtime turned on, and if you *DID* want to echo
something out to see what it was, you'd want to use stripslashes,
because magic_quotes_runtime has added slashes to your data on its way
OUT of the database.

Bottom line:
First thing you do is drown all the laywers.
SECOND thing you do is turn magic_quotes_gpc *OFF*!
And most certainly magic_quotes_runtime should be OFF, as it's just
plain silly, really, to ever have it on.

On Sat, April 8, 2006 10:03 pm, jonathan wrote:
 that makes more sense but in that situation, I wouldn't need to
 stripslashes but most tutorials tell you that you need to
 stripslashes when echoing the row? it seems like that would be
 incorrect.

 On Sat, April 8, 2006 7:49 pm, jonathan wrote:
 I  have a server where magic_quotes_gpc is set to On. It's my

 Joe's
 so that it's Joe\'s but when I look in the db, it is in there as
 Joe's. This doesn't seem like it should be the anticipated
 behavior.

 It DOES add the slashes to $_GET.

 But when you put the data *IN* to MySQL, MySQL eats the slashes --
 In fact, MySQL *needs* the slashes to distinguish somethings:
 ' the beginning of a string
 \' an apostrophe embedded IN a string
 ' the end of a string.

 So, in slow-motion:

 HTTP sends '
 PHP Magic Quotes makes it be \'
 MySQL sees it *INSIDE* a string like 'Joe\'s'
 MySQL stores this internally:   Joe's

 Is there another setting in either PHP or MySQL that will
 subsequently strip out slashes from magic_quotes_gpc or override
 this
 setting such that the automatic adding of slashes isn't taking
 place?

 Just turn Magic Quotes *OFF* and use mysql_real_escape_string

 For the love of god do *NOT* try to do *both* MagicQuotes and
 mysql_real_escape_string and then be happy when you've got 'Joe\'s'
 *inside* your database.

 That just means you've corrupted your data.

 TIP:
 If you find yourself calling http://php.net/stripslashes you
 almost-for-sure have ended up calling addslashes or some thing
 similar
 twice.

Re: [PHP] Date problems

2006-04-09 Thread Satyam
Timestamps are stored as seconds from a certain date.  The base date differ 
depending on the platform, Windows use 1/1/1980 the rest 1/1/1970, but still 
seconds.  7 days are 7*24*60*60.  Just add that much to a timestamp.  It 
helps having a constant such as:


define ('DAY_IN_SECONDS',86400);

Hi,

I am having troubles adding 7 days to the current date.  I have been 
reading through php.net date() and this is what I have come up with but it 
doesn't work

$today = date('m/d/Y');
$nextweek = date('m/d/Y',mktime(date(m), date(d)+7, date(Y)));

if I echo the above variables they are the same? Shouldn't the $nextweek 
be different?


Thanks for the help

the correct way to do this.

Re: [PHP] Completing forms offline with PHP/MySQL

2006-04-09 Thread Rory Browne
I haven't thought about this much, but I'd probably create an onSubmit
handler, that would hide the form in an iframe, and create a new one. I
would then when they are online, submit all the forms.

This would require the user to keep the browser window open and at the same
page. Alternatively you could have the user allow the script to write files
to the local hard disk, and store the form data there. Making a .hta file
would probably be the easiest way to do this on windows.

 completing
 the form offline, and uploading when they have access to a connection.
 
 It looks like I might be able offer something like Microsoft InfoPath
 forms
 (better recommendations?) to generate an XML file, and then use a PHP
 file
 to upload the file into the database. Additionally, I could also do with
 this process uploading a number of other files (e.g. images, text files)
 to
 the server.
 
 Does anyone have any experience in this area, and would be able to
 recommend
 a solution?
 
 Thanks in advance for your help...

After:

I'm getting the same SID again.

I tried with session_unregister() and session_destroy() but same result.

How can I create new, other sesssion id (after I, for example, click on

use curly brackets to help PHP understand what you're after:

When you're in a string like this, PHP has a hard time knowing when
you're wanting to access a variable, and when you're simply trying to

[PHP] function by reference

2006-04-09 Thread tedd

Hi gang:

Not that I have an immediate need for this, but in other languages 
one can access a function by reference (in other words, it's address 
-- such as call(function address) ).


In php, one can pass a variable by reference by simply using the 
ampersand, such a $a.


Is there a similar way to reference a function?

Rob, was kind enough to post the following code, but I was looking 
for something where I could store the function's address in a 
variable. Something like:


$a = f_a();

And then, where I could use call_user_func($a); (or something 
similar) and the function would do it's thing -- anything like that?


Thanks

tedd

--- Rob's suggestion follows.

Like the following?

?php

function f_a()
{
echo 'a';
}

function f_b()
{
echo 'b';
}

function f_c()
{
echo 'c';
}

$map = array
(
'a' = 'f_a',
'b' = 'f_b',
'c' = 'f_c',
);

$map['a']();
$map['b']();
$map['c']();

?

Another thing to consider is that commercial programs often tend to have
better support
too incase things go wrong or you want modifications/added features.
Don't get me wrong, there are _many_ free programs that are supported very
well but they
are supported mostly by a community and if you want modifications you would
either have to
pay for it or wait a long time, if you dont know how to go in and do it
yourself of course.
The free system thinks more of how a modification would help the whole

[PHP] stripping enclosed text from PHP code

2006-04-09 Thread Winfried Meining

Hi,

I am writing on a script that parses a PHP script and finds all function calls 
to check, if these functions exist. To do this, I needed a function that would 
strip out all text, which is enclosed in apostrophes or quotation marks. This 
is somewhat tricky, as the script needs to be aware of what really is an 
enclosed text and what is PHP code. Apostrophes in quotation mark enclosed text 
should be ignored and quotation marks in apostrophe enclosed text should be 
ignored, as well. Similarly, escaped apostrophes in apostrophe enclosed text 
and escaped quotation marks in quotation mark enclosed text should be ignored. 

The following function uses preg_match to do this job. 

?

function stripstrings($text) {
while (preg_match(/^(.*)(?!\\\)('|\)(.*)$/, $text, $matches)) {

$front = $matches[1];
$lim = $matches[2];
$tail = $matches[3];

while (preg_match(/^(.*)(?!\\\)('|\)(.*)$/, $front, 
$matches)) {
$front = $matches[1];
$tail = $matches[3] . $lim . $tail;
$lim = $matches[2];
}

if (!preg_match(/^(.*)(?!\\\)$lim(.*)$/, $tail, $matches))
break;

$string = $matches[1];
$tail = $matches[2];
while (preg_match(/^(.*)(?!\\\)$lim(.*)$/, $string, 
$matches)) {
$string = $matches[1];
$tail = $matches[2] . $lim . $tail;
}

$text = $front . $tail;
}

return($text);
}

?

I noticed that this function is very slow, in particular because 

preg_match(/^(.*)some_string(.*)$/, $text, $matches);

always seems to find the *last* occurrence of some_string and not the *first* 
(I would need the first). There is certainly a way to write another version 
where one looks at every single character when going through $text, but this 
would make the code much more complex.

I wonder, if there is a faster *and* simple way to do the same thing. 

Is there btw a script freely available, which can parse PHP code and check for 
errors ?

Any help is highly appreciated.

[PHP] Implied permissions

Hey guys... implementing a permission system and just wanted some advice.

If i have permission A
which has implied permissions B and C

How do the permissions relate to each other, for eg if I select 
permission A to true, that implies that permission B and C must be set 
to true, but then if I set B to false or C to false, or both does that 
affect permission A?


Assuming that B, and C dont have implied rights you should be able to 
turn both of them off while leaving A on, but then that breaks the rule 
for A having implied permissions B and C.

If you don't get an immediate response you don't need to repost your 
question.


The data stored in the database is $title, $name, not the filled in 
variables. When php prints it out (in this case), it's printing it out 
exactly how it came out of the database. No variable substitutions etc 
take place unless you tell them to.


I'd suggest using htmlentities / htmlspecialchars to help make sure your 
data won't cause issues like XSS.


You could do:

print str_replace(array('$title', '$name'), array($title, $name), 
htmlentities($row['template']));

David, please try the eval() route: it will do what you want.  You

Hello $foo.


You should not use eval() frivolously because it presents a 
potential vulnerability in your code.  You may wish to ensure that 
the database text it operates on is first cleansed of any other PHP 
syntax -- similarly to the way we should all ensure that any 
incoming data is clean before we process it and incorporate it into 
our scripts.


Here's an example of variaible evaluation:
___

$bar = cat;
$foo = Hello \$bar.;

echo $foo;
RESULT: Hello $bar.

By escaping the $, I have made it a literal character in the text, 
the same as if I'd read Hello $bar from a database.

___

eval(echo \$foo\;);
RESULT: Hello cat.

This is equivalent to scripting:
echo $foo;
I'm using eval() to execute the echo command and interpret the PHP 
variable $foo.

___

eval(\$dog = \$bar;);
echo dog =  . $dog;

RESULT: dog = cat

Here I'm using eval() to set one PHP variable equal to another.
___

You can't simply write:
eval(\$bar;);
or
$x = eval($foo);

because everything inside the eval() parentheses needs to be a 
complete PHP statement.  The eval() function itself doesn't return 
the value of an evaluated expression.  To capture the value of an 
expression, you must evaluate a complete statement that sets a 
variable equal to the expression as above.

Clear as mud?

Paul

I found your question quite easily in the manual:

[PHP] PHP + DDE live feed

2006-04-09 Thread C.F. Scheidecker Antunes

Hello,

I have an Excel spreadsheet that is automatically updated with quotes. I 
am doing a project for my BS and I need to grab the information from 
this spreadsheet and populate a MySQL database. Any ideas on how to 
accomplish that with PHP? The spreadsheet uses a live DDE feed to fetch 
information from a third party service and needs to be opened.


This is not a matter of reading a static XLS spreadsheet but what I need 
is a DDE way to talk to the open spreadsheet and update the database 
when the cells are changed or have a 1 minute loop to go over the cells.


I understand that I can do that with Java with a commercial package 
called Java DDE as well but if there is a way with PHP I prefer.


Thanks,

C.F.

There are a few packages on phpclasses.org which may do what you want: 
http://www.phpclasses.org


They all seem to use the COM object (http://www.php.net/com) which only 
works on windows.


This package might help also:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpexcelreader/

and should work anywhere.

[PHP] mod_rewrite q's: syntax?

2006-04-09 Thread Micky Hulse
Hi all... sorry if this is OT for PHP list... Maybe a reply off-list?

I just wanted to share my .htaccess file in the hopes that I can
hone/fool-proof-a-tize it as much as possible via your feedback and
suggestions.

Here is what I got so far...

I start by turning-on error reporting, then I am converting all non www
traffic to www traffic, and I finish things up by removing index.php from
the site url...

[code] --

# Turn-on PHP error messaging:
php_value display_errors 1
php_value error_reporting 2047

# Power-up the rewrite engine:
RewriteEngine on

# Redirect all non-www traffic:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.mydomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=permanent,L]

# Remove index.php from url:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [L]


-- [/code]

What I want to do:

I would like to use mod_rewrite to forward all requests for
http://www.mydomain.com (or http://mydomain.com) to
www.mydomain.com/folder/file.php

Questions:

1. How is my code looking so far? Any potential pitfalls that you can see?
2. Can I combine the conditions and rules into one, more compact, script?
3. Any suggestions on how I would go about adding-in a rule/condition to
redirect users to com/folder/file.php as stated above?

Many TIA,
Sorry if OT.
Cheers,
Micky

Do you need to do it with a mod_rewrite?

if not, you can do it easily in php:

header('location: folder/file.php');
exit();

in index.php.

Unfortunately, yes... I am using a CMS, and my current setup is forcing me
into using the more complicated mod_rewrite.

Well, not that it is a bad thing... seems like mod_rewrite is more
search-engine/bot friendly.

Thanks for the tip though, I really appreciate your time.
