In my investigation, I found that the insides of a PDF file are not conducive to a simple search and replace mechanism. The text is encoded in some fashion that is not easy to decode and reassemble. The solution I came up with was to combine the existing PDF file with my coding and write over (on top of) the old to produce the new PDF that I wanted. In your case, take your Christmas Card with a big space where xxx appears and then write over that space with John in your new code.

It is best (well depending on the application) to save the files as
.csv and then use fgetcsv. it will allow you to parse each line and
cell in the file and then go from there.

Yes - but rather than re-invent the wheel, google for php read excel.
Your solution may be there. Once you have read the information, then the
rest is just an INSERT into the database.

On a side note, but going on the basis that the users are uploading .xls
files and don't understand how to convert. Would it be better to use
php's routines or to automate excel, convert it inside there, and then
use the result?

Re: [PHP] PHP podcasts
I think what is going on is that somehow when the code goes to the podcast feeds to get the URLs it's getting the wrong things because they're not even media files, some times they just look like incomplete URLs. When you go to the site itself the streams work fine and result in proper media file URLs. I should dig deeper into the code to see exactly how it's getting the URLs. I think that should probably be next. Skip Stut wrote: Skip Evans wrote: The URLs are all supposed to come from the live feeds so I am a bit baffled why some work and some don't. Are you sure that all the URLs in the feeds are still working? Remember that links go bad. Beyond that it's difficult to help with this specific problem without seeing some code and the XML feeds that the code is using. -Stut -- Skip Evans Big Sky Penguin, LLC 61 W Broadway Butte, Montana 59701 406-782-2240 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Check the archives - this was asked a few days ago. The
mysql_real_escape_string function requires a connection to the database
to be open. If one isn't open it will try to open one with the defaults.
All you need to do is make sure you connect to the mysql database before
using mysql_real_escape_string.

[PHP] Chocked
I was chocked when I got my additional dedicated server from my server provider. I assumed everyting would have been the same as I ordered the server with same package name etc. The chocking part was that the server had PHP5 and not PHP4. Ok, it is not a hard piece of work to get it working, but one thing stunned me :-) Assuming that I have the following structure: /index.php /classes/first.class.php /classes/second.class.php Index.php: include_once(classes/first.class.php); first.class.php include_once(second.class.php); This worked fine, but this time I get an open dir error. Is this something that is new to PHP5 for this, or do I just need to config the server to accept this sloppy including of files?

I think this is correct: Let's just assume for a minute that in your index.php you echo out getcwd(); Output would be / (only an example) According to that you do the following include: include(./classes/first.class.php); If you were to echo getcwd() after the include in the first.class.php it would output / You would then have to include your second class (inside the first.class.php - correct?) as: include(./classes/second.class.php) to make it a correct include without PHP having to search the directories for the include.
