if (isset($_GET['order'] in_array($_GET['order'], array('Last',
'First', ...))) { $requestedOrder = $_GET['order']; } else {
$requestedOrder = your default; }
Mind the in_array() call. Always sanitize user input.

Hi All :)
Hope you're not getting sick of my questions as of late, but I keep
getting closer and closer and thank you all who have helped me in the
past! The only reason I can see this far is I am standing on the
shoulders of giants don't know who said that but I like it :)
Anyway... Onto the question...
I think I'm just going crazy as it's been a busy week for me, but I
can't figure out how to do this. What I am attempting to do is, I have
a webpage(Don't we all?) that calls info to be displayed from a database,
I want to be able to sort that info so my sql query looks like:
Select * from current order by '$order'; and $order is populated by
a GET when they click on a link: A href=index.php?order='Last'Sort
by last name/A Now... the whole PHP page is being included in a
.shtml page to actually display it and make it look purrdee :)
How do I get it to resort the info and include the new sort on the page?
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but:
$order = $_GET['order']; --Line 6
[Fri Aug 10 10:42:04 2007] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined index:
order in /Volumes/RAIDer/webserver/Documents/tests/legion/index.php on
line 6
Any help will be greatly appreciated.. And if it solves the problem
I'll name some of my kids* after you!
*Subject to approval of the Wife :)

[PHP] Recursion and threaded message boards...
I have to write some PHP backend code for a threaded message board. The db has a message table, and each message has a parent id. Does anyone have any advice for someone whos never done this in PHP? I'm currently thinking that I write function that takes a db row as an argument, and initially, it is passed the root node of the whole tree. It is also probably passed a string variable. The first thing it will do is append the code for itself to the string. Then it will query the DB for all its children (with an order by post timestamp), and for every child, it will call itself on that child row. Am I on the right track?

[PHP] and newlines under windows
Hey there!
I'm kind of lost with how str_replace , preg_replace, ereg_replace or
even explode are handling a \n-ewline.
I have a text string from a form and am trying to replace the \n or
chr(10) or however you might call the newline with a simple html break tag.
If I use the replacing functions I get the br-tags where there are
newlines from the textarea of the form. BUT I still have the newlines
remain.
So I tried a different approach breaking the text down into an array using:
explode(' ', $string)
in conjunction with trim() and again made a string out of the array. -
br-tags still there, newlines aswell -.-'
Next thing I tried was exploding the string using the \n and chr(10).
This function ignored all newlines and gave me an array with one key and
the entire text of the textarea as value Oh... and the newlines of
course were there aswell...
So... How can I get rid of these?! - I just want them gone!
Is it even possible under windows? ^^
Thanks a lot in advance

Just to clarify, the DEFAULT line-endings for OSes:
Windows: \r\n (carriage return followed by a newline)
Unix: \n (newline)
Mac: \r (carriage return)
Of course it is possible to use other line endings on those OSes, but
these are the default.

[PHP] Re: PHP on .NET DLR
Hello there, Once upon a time I try to ignite PHP community to develop some kind of client side php, which failed, because lack of interest (or because of javascript). In open source world everthing boosted from personal interest. Hi, Thanks for chipping in. Silverlight is not a fad, because it is simply an outgrowth of a platform that is 10 year old--the .NET. Technology wise, it is merely java applets in XAML format. But it provides people already working on .NET an easy way to create the gui. Silverlight's most important feature is that it is based on MS's greatest strength--the Desktop. You mean enterprise mumbo jumbo (read as over engineered perfect world (theorically)) My point of wiev Php can deal on enterprise sector with proper handling. (read as we had tons of big bad busy websites based on php) And it doesn't mean PHP have to respond windows desktop development language requests. Recapitulating: a) We have a 10 year old platform the .NET, which while not optimal presently, is still being used by a large number of developers. Hmmm I believe LAMP much older than this, so what is the point ? and you thing after inroducing php for windows desktop all of those developers penitent to their c# or vb sins ? b) Now, MS has finally given them something that can leverage MS's 25 year Desktop experience. Hell who cares Ms Desktop Monopoly ?. Because of MS Desktop Monopoly we had that IE thing. Probably because of IE thing coming of Ajax maybe late 5 years. Entire Web Thingy wants to broke MS Desktop Monoply. Of course if MS supports PHP in .NET enviroment for Desktop applications would be nice and ask yourself is Why MS had to do this... ? PHP was one of the strudiest Open Source project which MS cannot deal. c) PHP can _trivially_ take advantage of both of them--all that's needed is to have the community show interest in phalanger, and not let it die. Also, the DLR makes porting Dynamic languages very trivial. IT only took MS a couple of months to get Ruby on DLR. If I want to develop big bad nasty desktop thing why should I use PHP and or what is PHP GTK populartiy... I did not remember anthing big written in php for Desktop. d) Ruby--now with silverlight--has everything that PHP has--cross platform, dynamic, web ready, and now it has become even more compelling, because of PHP community's hostility towards the DLR. Ruby has Rails, ruby has iron oh no ruby has now silver light. It seems Ruby does not mean anything by himself. We just had PHP and it seems more than enough to developing dynamic web sites under LAMP enviroment. e) There are a 1000 other benefits to getting PHP on dotnet. One is that many VB folks who are used to the procedural style of the old VB6, would start loving PHP and will move to it, considering how complex and different VB.net is from VB6. PHP on .NET has a 1000 reasons. Phalanger is already there. Why are you letting it die? Thanks again for your input. Basically. Most of us want to generate bad websites to generate some revnue, Some of us want develop very nasty web applications to replace desktop applications. Or Developing desktop application was not fun only for bread. Deskop development area infested by M$ tools and M$ tranied developers. We cannot compete against MS with MS rules.

First of all look at http://php.net/nl2br which does exactly what you're
trying to do.
Second try this...
$string = str_replace(\r\n, 'br /', $string);
$string = str_replace(\n, 'br /', $string);
-Stut
You forgot the Macintosh newlines, which is a single carriage return.
Try this code instead:
$string = str_replace(\r\n, 'br /', $string);
$string = str_replace(\n, 'br /', $string);
$string = str_replace(\r, 'br /', $string);

I used to have something similar to this until someone uploaded a script

script tried to load a 240meg log file into memory and email it to me. I
now use a simple bash script that pipes the log to the mail command -
much safer.

script above, used without something that starts a new log will result
in ever-increasing emails.
Oh yeah, that's true-- totally forgot to wipe the error log. I just
whipped the above up :) I have something else on the server without

you set PHPs memory high it should just bail with a fatal memory

Wouldn't it even be a worthwhile idea to simply include the first
$n lines of the daily log in an email? That's how I have my logs
emailed to me for the server things. I receive the first 300 lines of
the file, and if there's more than that (which, for server logs, there
always are, because I monitor everything), then I know to either hop
on the server and `vim` the log or download it and read it.
In any case, rotating and archiving would be a requirement.
Depending on the log, mine generally rotate daily or once every three
days, with backups being maintained for at least 30 days.

$string = str_replace(\n, 'br /', $string);

Re: [PHP] Recursion and threaded message boards...
Hi Tony, Friday, August 10, 2007, 5:23:28 PM, you wrote: I have to write some PHP backend code for a threaded message board. The db has a message table, and each message has a parent id. Does anyone have any advice for someone whos never done this in PHP? I'm currently thinking that I write function that takes a db row as an argument, and initially, it is passed the root node of the whole tree. It is also probably passed a string variable. The first thing it will do is append the code for itself to the string. Then it will query the DB for all its children (with an order by post timestamp), and for every child, it will call itself on that child row. Am I on the right track? (I've done simmilar things in C++, just not in PHP)... To be honest this is less of a PHP issue (at this stage) and more of a SQL one. What SQL package are you using? (MySQL? if so v4 or v5?). I would strongly consider looking at using a nested set system for the structure (or at least a derivative of it, there are many good ones out there) in combination with a standard parent/child hierarchy. You can wrap up nearly all of the complexity of this requirement (i.e. the tree walking / retrieval) on a stored procedure level with some decent table design.

Snap :) We do exactly the same here. The PHP log is checked first thing every morning for notices, fatal errors, etc. The notices are especially useful to finding out where other devs have forgotten (or incorrectly named) variables, etc - as a number of people work on the sites each day. I wrote a very simple script that parses the log file into a web page and colour codes each element (red = fatal, green = notice, yellow = warning). We can also inject developer notes into it (using error_log() with some set keywords at the start) which appear in blue.

$string = 'Hi, my name is |FIRST_NAME| |LAST_NAME|.';

$values[] = array('FIRST_NAME' = 'Jim', 'LAST_NAME' = 'Lucas');

foreach ( $in AS $k = $v )
$in[$k] = '|'.$v.'|';

You have misunderstood. You are still putting the template in an

Can I someout include a string instead of a file? That's exactly what eval does. As for what you would pass to it... PHP code maybe? Have you even tried it? The manual page for eval has several examples of how to use it, and the comments have even more. Incidentally, eval is evil and potentially a giant security hole. You'd be better off doing replacements with preg_match rather than executing a string. Agreed. That's another reason I had already rejected it. Although in this case, since I would have full control of all the variables, it would probably be ok. Use regular expressions or straight string replacements - that's the best way to implement mail-merge type behaviour. Personally I used preg_replace with the 'e' modifier. For an example see, shockingly, the manual page for preg_replace.

It might be easier, however, to hack some kind of pre-processor that
would search for PCRE '\\s*action\\s*' and replace it with ' function

You'd have to pre-process generate your actual PHP files that get
executed, but the source you use would just have the 'action' in it.
Actually is not that simple. There are some considerations that should be
taken into account, such as the loss of error information (file and line
number where the error occurs) and exception information (stack trace does
not point to the right place), and parsing correctly the code as to replace
the action keyword where it actually applies. I made some experimentation
with preprocessing php code with added keywords, that might help you if you
wish to use such a solution:

You could define a generic action function
function action($funcName, $funcArgs)
{
return $funcName($funcArgs);
}
Actually, this might be better as it makes no assumptions about the
function's argument list.
function action()
{
$func = func_get_arg(0);
$expr = func_get_args();
$expr = array_slice($expr, 1);
$expr = implode(', ', $expr);
$expr = $func.'('.$expr.');';
return eval($expr);
}
Actually this function won't work as expected. The arguments are improperly
passed, they are not escaped and would only work with variables that hold
numeric values, one word strings that do no match to existing constants
(which will still trigger a notice in the error log). Also return values
will not be passed through, because a return statement was not included in
the eval'ed code.
eval is not the best solution for this:
function action() {
$func = func_get_arg(0);
$args = func_get_args();
$args = array_slice($args, 1);
return call_user_func_array($func, $args);
}
You lose the ability to pass by reference but that might not be
important for your script.
That's not entirely true, objects are always references. You lose the
ability to pass any other type of value by reference.

You could use things like files or databases too, but sockets would mostly be easier as you can simple send a START command to emulate the start of a program, and have a stream open for returning data. I see I misreaded a little bit of your reply.

[PHP] php 4.4.7 make install with pear causes zend freeing errors
I sent this to the php-install list. However, with
no response, I knew there would be more eyes looking
at it here. Hopefully, someone can send me a pointer
on how to resolve this issue. It might be the root of
other problems I am having.
Per my previous message, I have recently upgraded from
php 4.4.0, to php 4.4.7. My configure options are as
follows:
-
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/php4 \
--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \
--enable-debug \
--disable-cgi \
--enable-force-cgi-redirect \
--enable-discard-path \
--enable-safe-mode \
--disable-short-tags \
--disable-ipv6 \
--enable-magic-quotes \
--with-openssl \
--with-pcre-regex \
--with-curl \
--with-curlwrappers \
--with-mcrypt \
--enable-session \
--with-mysql=/usr/local \
--with-mysql-sock=/var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
-
After running configure and make, I run make install.
This is the output of the make install:
-

At most, the site you linked to is probably four pages --- index, service information, form thanks, and the optional form error. Figure approximately two hours for each simple page to account for adjustments to font and such, two hours for designing the header and footer, and another two hours for adjusting the finished product as directed by your client. If you already have a form-to-mail script ready, you may not even want to add the development cost for that into the final product, but that's completely up to you. Multiply the final number by your standard hourly rate and shave or inflate the number as you see fit and fair. With hosting, if the client wants to be completely hands-off, remember to include about an hour to set up the site, transfer the domain, and set up the email accounts. And as far as pricing the two-year hosting option, I agree with Davey again: by charging double for what it would cost you to host the site, and for such a small site, you're making extra money off the deal, while still being fair to your client. However, I'd be sure to get the money paid up-front for the hosting, rather than try to set up automatic billing from your account with the expectation of being paid by the client each month. And another point on hosting --- that signature line in my email isn't just to fill space and piss off people who may be receiving the list on their Blackberry. If you don't have a host and you host with me, you'll get 50% off using the coupon in my signature. So doubling it will actually be the advertised price on the site.

Re: [PHP] preg_match_all to match img tags
Guys i would like to thank you for the help.
Jan i used some of your code to help me get this. There was one issue
with yours, preg_match_all while in a foreach will only match the last
match and output that as the $m array.
Here is the code, i hope someone else can use it. Its a working code
in PHP4 and PHP5. I am currenly wrapping the imageManip(); around the
$_POST variable that is the blog post when im posting it to the SQL.
So the getimagesize(); only has to run once.
There is one bug, if the user resizes the image manually to something
less than 590, to say maybe 400, this program will still resize it to
590.
function imageProportions($image)
{
$imageLoad = @getimagesize($image);
// if the image is larger than 590 pixels, it will resize both
height and width
// if not it will do nothing to the variables.
if($imageLoad[0] 590)
{
$proportion = $imageLoad[0] / $imageLoad[1];
$imageLoad[0] = 590;
$imageLoad[1] = $imageLoad[0] / $proportion;
return array($imageLoad[0], ceil($imageLoad[1]));
}
else
{
return array($imageLoad[0], $imageLoad[1]);
}
}
function imageManip($data)
{
// match all image tags (thanks to Jan Reiter)
@preg_match_all(/\ *[img][^\]*[.]*\/i, $data, $matches);
if( is_array($matches[0]) )
{
// put all those image tags in one string, since preg match all
needs the data
// to be in a string format
foreach($matches[0] as $match)
{
$imageMatch .= $match;
}
// match all source links within the original preg match all output
@preg_match_all(/src=\(.+?)\/i, $imageMatch, $m);
// for each match that has the same key as the second match,
replace the entire
// tag with my img tag that includes width, height and border=0
foreach($matches[0] as $imageTagKey = $imageTag)
{
foreach($m[1] as $imageSrcKey = $imageSrc)
{
if($imageTagKey == $imageSrcKey)
{
$imageStats = imageProportions($imageSrc);
$data = str_replace($imageTag, img src=\.$imageSrc.\
width=\.$imageStats[0].\ height=\.$imageStats[1].\
border=\0\ /, $data);
}
}
}
}
return $data;
}
2007/8/10, Jan Reiter [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Maybe this is what you are searching for:
$images = array();
$data = blah img src=img.png width=\400\ height='600' src=blah.png img
src=gg.tiff;
preg_match_all(/\ *[img][^\]*[.]*\/i, $data, $matches);
foreach($matches[0] as $match)
{
preg_match_all(/(src|height|width)*= *[\\']{0,1}([^\\'\ \]*)/i,
$match, $m);
$images[] = array_combine($m[1],$m[2]);
}
print_r($image);
It will produce:
Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[src] = img.png
[width] = 400
[height] = 600
)
[1] = Array
(
[src] = gg.tiff
)
)
I wrote it just as an example. So you may modify it for your needs!
Does anyone know if there is a way to put this into ONE regex??

I have a weblog system that i am creating, the trouble is that if a
user links to an external image larger than 500pixels in width, it
messes with the whole layout.
I had found some regex code im using atm but its not good at matching
the entire image tag. It seems to ignore properties after the src
declaration and not match tags that have properties before the src
declaration .
preg_match_all(/\ *[img][^\]*[src] *= *[\\']{0,1}([^\\'\ ]*)/i,
$data, $matches);
print_r($matches);
This currently makes two arrays for me, the source location from all
img tags and a large part of the tag itself. But not the entire tag.
What i do is i match the img tag, find the src, get the image
properties, and if the width is more than 500, i shrink it down and
add width=X and height=Y properties to the image tag.
How can i match an image tag correctly so it does not cause any issues
with how the user adds the image.
style
#your_content_div img { max-width: 500px !important; }
/style
OK, so it won't work with IE6. Screw them.
But if the height is set in the img tag it'll keep that, so the image
could become distorted. So, you could also do something like:
#your_content_div img { visibility: none; }
Then run some Javascript routine onload to properly figure the
dimensions of each image. Adjust the width down to 500px, if necessary,
then the height by whatever percent difference between original width
over new width:
var new_height = (original_width / 500) * original_height;
Then, whether you change the dimensions of the image or not,

Building a very small website (you can see it here: http://www.cleardebtadvice.co.uk) 2. Hosting it for two years 3. Providing email accounts as need be 4. Probably a days worth of update work I not interested in actual costs, but more commercial worth.

RE: [PHP] I know this is not easy and I'm not stupid but...

Hi!
Thank you for your response!
The only intention of my code was to investigate the (back then) unexpected
behavior of the if statement.
With $var['test'] set to blah this expression should be false
($var['test'] == 0) for what I know ...
$var['test'] = blah;
var_dump($var['test'] == 0);
//returns bool(true)
Now I know why this happens! According to Table 6.5 of the Operators page in
the PHP Manual in this comparison all of the values are converted to
integer. And atoi(blah) for sure will fail!;-) So you have to use === to
keep the types of the values!
I found something interesting:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ php -r '$var = 'bla'; var_dump('0' == $var);'
bool(true)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ php -r '$var = 'bla'; var_dump(0 == $var);'
bool(false)
version is 5.2.1
is this expected behaviour to be a difference between the two types of
quotes in this case?
greets
Zoltán Németh

Hi!
Phil:
Still I am curious what var_dump($userValues['afterDark']); at line 102.5
would return.
I managed to recreate that fault with
$var['test'] = blah;
echo ($var['test']);
if( $var['test'] == 0)
{
echo ok;
}
//this returns blahok -- not expected.
In my case Var_dump() returns string(4) blah as expected.
Using
if( $var['test'] === 0)
behaves as expected!!
Are you wanting to only test for a empty/non-empty string?
if so, use this.
if ( empty($var['test']) ) {
echo var['test'] is empty;
}
Jim:
TypeCasting would only be effective if you used the type sensitive
comparison operator === , because with == 0 equals NULL equals false
equals and so on ... or do I miss something here??
Hope that solves it for you! I'm still investigating why my first examples
fails. I've got the strong feeling that I'm missing something there. I
don't
believe in a php bug or a memory leak in this case! Must be something
pretty
obvious! Anyone a clue??
Thanks,
Jan

I used to have something similar to this until someone uploaded a script
that started writing to the error log like mad. Overnight my poor little
script tried to load a 240meg log file into memory and email it to me. I
now use a simple bash script that pipes the log to the mail command -
much safer.
Should probably say that it also renames the log file, graceful's
Apache, zips the old log and moves it to an archive file server. Rob's
script above, used without something that starts a new log will result
in ever-increasing emails.

[PHP] phpinfo does not display openssl module
Hi i've reinstalled the complete server and i use apache module to load openSSL.

[PHP] php 4.4.7 configure run causes syntax errors
I sent this to the php-install list. However, with no response, I knew there would be more eyes looking at it here. Hopefully, someone can send me a pointer on how to resolve this issue, if it is one. I recently upgraded our php from 4.4.0 to 4.4.7. When I run configure from the command line with several options, I get the following errors at the beginning of the script run: - creating cache ./config.cache checking for egrep... grep -E checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /usr/bin/sed expr: syntax error ./configure[1732]: test: 0: unexpected operator/operand expr: syntax error ./configure[1747]: test: 0: unexpected operator/operand expr: syntax error ./configure[1747]: test: 0: unexpected operator/operand - The first error is always on line 1732. All the rest are on 1747. There is about one error for each option on the command line. It ends like this: - expr: syntax error ./configure[1747]: test: 0: unexpected operator/operand expr: syntax error ./configure[1747]: test: 0: unexpected operator/operand checking host system type... i386-unknown-openbsd3.6 checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes - It continues and completes without errors. Is this something I need to worry about?

[PHP] Running a server process
Hi there, I have a windows application the performs a certain task that I need it to perform. I am in the process of developing my site and am really interested in the functionality of the site at the moment and haven't set about putting the details in place, so I am using the php function exec (start ... ); To run the process. It works. That is it works with just me using the site. I am wondering how this would effect performance if say 500 people were executing this php function around the same time and the processing overlapped. Is there anyway to make an executable run as a service, I am guessing at the terminology that I should use here, but I feel there would be a much more efficient way of performing this task.

You can do this buy having PHP post to itself, it checks if the info is valid and if it isn't it renders a page asking for correct info and resubmits to itself till it gets what it wants. Then it does whatever you want it to. Other than that yes, it can be somewhat annoying trying to move data between PHP files, especially if you want seperate scripts to be more object oriented in that each has a specific function. Does anyone know of an easy to pass data between PHP files? - Dan Tony Di Croce [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I keep wanting to do something, and either I dont know how to do it, or I'm doing something wrong and need to rethink things. Quite often, I have a form that submits to a php script via POST and after doing some processing (or more frequently, asking the user a question), I'd like to forward those $_POST[] vars to another script (or even the same script). I could do something complicated and store the $_POST vars in $_SESSION[], but what I'd rather do is simply add a var to $_POST[] and resubmit this to the same .php. Is their any way to do this, or do I need to rethink things? td -- Publish technical articles @ skilledwords.com and get 100% of the ad-revenue! http://www.skilledwords.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] and newlines under windows

Under Windows, the newline isn't \n, it's \r\n In the Mac world it's \r Now the browsers are running on whatever platform, and the user is copying/pasting in text or whatever, and the data you get PROBABLY is using the newline encoding of the web browser client platform. So, to normalize any input with newlines, do this: //assuming basic ASCII text data input: $data = str_replace(\r\n, \n, $data); $data = str_replace(\r, \n, $data); Store that normalized text in the database. When you DISPLAY the text to the user, you might want to use: echo nl2br($data); -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?
