Hi All,
I recently installed PHP, APACHE, MYSQL per the method at the
following site:
http://switch.richard5.net/isp-in-a-box-v2/installing-mysql-on-mac-os-x/
. . .I then attempted to connect to a database (but without executing
any commands on it), and I keep receiving the following error:
Safari can’t open the page “http://localhost/~michwill/folder/
validate_event.php” because the server unexpectedly dropped the
connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might
be able to open the page later.
I'm really not sure what the problem is or what to do about it. Can
anyone help? I've ensured that all passwords and ports are correct.
I've also tried using MAMP, but it keeps telling me that I can't
access the database with the connect commands I'm using (although
I've adjusted them. Anyway, any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Michael---End Message---

Are you sure that Apache is running and accepting connections to
/~michwill? Does a regular HTML page show up ok?
Have you checked the server error log?
What does your script look like where it connects? Does it simply die()
without a message? Try creating a test script with header('Content-type:
text/plain') at the top. Then print out messages after each step.
(beginning of script, opening a DB connection, etc.)
How are you accessing the database? Whichever method, test for errors
after each step and echo out any info there. eg. with MDB2:
$mdb2 = MDB2::connect($dsn, $options);
if (PEAR::isError($mdb2))
{
die ('Failed to connect: ' . $mdb2-getMessage());
}
If the MDB2 object is kosher but you have an SQL error:
$result = $stmnt-execute($data);
if (PEAR::isError($result))
{
die('bad query: ' . $result-getUserInfo());
}
Of course, you shouldn't blindly echo out this sort of thing on a
production server.

Is there a solution to showing the proper time and date at user

I think it's better to record UTC times only, but display them according
to the users timezone. You can do that by telling mysql which timezone
you want per session.

That's close, i think. But the select isn't necessary if the user has
submitted a post because, either way, $first $last will be set to
the latest values.
The problem that i see is here:
if (isset($_POST))
This will always return TRUE. It should rather be:
if (isset($_POST['name_of_your_submit_btn']))
or some other form element, at least.
I don't know if this was simply because it was a rough draft of the
code or even if it's the cause of the problem (which i still don't
quite understand) but, anyway ...

nope. ONLY when form with method POST is submitted. if you open the page
first time else block will be executed.
though, I agree it's much better to have if(isset($_POST['SubmitForm'])
and $_POST['SubmitForm'] == 'Submit')
where input type=Submit name=SubmitForm value=Submit
but, as I said earlier, it's not the code, just an idea.

Hello:
I've adapted this regular expression script from a book, but I'm not
clear why it works.
$email = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$pattern = /[EMAIL PROTECTED]@([-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,}/;
___
if ( preg_match($pattern,$email) )
{
print yes! . $email . matches!;
}
else { print no match; }
___
When I run this script, I get the yes! [EMAIL PROTECTED]
matches! statement.
But I don't understand why the second half of the regular expression
works. I'm talking about this part:
@([-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,}/;
why is it able to detect repeated sections of the email address after
@ that are separated by periods? like @email.alaska.com . It
looks to me like it's only looking for one example of that pattern.
Does the () allow an unlimited number of patterns to pass?

[PHP] Is a small memory footprint better for a php script?
Hey, I'm wondering something about memory usage. I just looked at how much memory the newest phpbb is using and that's over 2 mega bytes!! Now i'm working on a php script that is currently using around 600 kilo bytes. The question now is: what is better? a script with a small memory usage? or is that something i don't need to look at? And when is memory usage gonna be a issue? is that when you have ALOT of simultaneous users? (lets say 100 all the time.. not that i have that.. but just for the idea).

[PHP] Re: About Session And Cookies
Wow, you really need to be carefull when ever you're dealing with money, although if you're just handing the objects in a cart and passing that to a secure payment system then it's not as big of a deal. Cookies can be stolen. Sessions are vulnerable to snooping if you're on a shared server. They have their pros and cons, and it would take way to long to explain the way each of them work. You're best off to learn about both in a depth with a security standpoint. Kelvin Park [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I am trying to setup a secure login system.

[PHP] Re: Which CAPTCHA is the besta?
Well what do you mean by best? Best at keeping spammers away, ease of use(playing sound for handicapped people), fastest? If you want to keep spammers away you could go with some super complicated script that distorts letters so much that it's really hard. This keeps away not only spambots but also your users :'(. If you go for ease of use then it's probably a popular script and people already have bots that look for sites using those particular scripts and have other bots which can crack the capchas. In my opinion the best of both worlds can be done by making it yourslef... yes form scratch. If there's a one of a kind script nobody has seen it before and they probably dont' have programs to crack it. Plus it's really easy for users to use since it can be made simple. Plus then you have control over the source. - Dan Tony Di Croce [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I need a CAPTCHA script Which one is the best?

Sanjeev is right. You're thinking about the problem backwards. You're
trying to build a Switch inside a loop. Remember, if you ever have to do
some operating multiple times you're using a forloop, then the thing that
you want to repeat(switch case) is INSIDE the for loop.

This will not work at all..
Instead of switch try with if condition as follows
for ($i=0; $i 21; $i++) {
if(faq$i == $q){
echo $faq1;
break;
}
}
Now it works..
You can write the code to display the result how you want.. but you cant
write the code to write a code :)
Cheers

Subject: [PHP] for loop inside a switch
Hi,
switch ($q) {
for ($i=0; $i 21; $i++) {
case 'faq$i':
echo $faq1;
break;
}
}
I just want to loop out a big long list of cases.

Re: [PHP] Reload page after form submit

The problem that i see is here:
if (isset($_POST))
This will always return TRUE. It should rather be:
if (isset($_POST['name_of_your_submit_btn']))
or some other form element, at least.
I don't know if this was simply because it was a rough draft of the
code or even if it's the cause of the problem (which i still don't
quite understand) but, anyway ...

nope. ONLY when form with method POST is submitted. if you open the page
first time else block will be executed.
though, I agree it's much better to have if(isset($_POST['SubmitForm'])
and $_POST['SubmitForm'] == 'Submit')
where input type=Submit name=SubmitForm value=Submit
but, as I said earlier, it's not the code, just an idea.
?php
if (isset($_POST))
{
print('What did i tell you?');
}
?

[PHP] How to implement Open-ID on my web server?
Hi, I am looking for a way to implement OpenID on my webserver. Can anybody point me on ONE place that describes ONE way, please! I found many links, but I am now confused what I really need ;-( I want that the customer can use his/her openid to login to signup/login to our web sites. Herby the user should get the choice to use some of the Open-ID preset field values to complete the signup process faster.

You can run a switch inside a for loop and when a case is matched set a
variable to true.
the break statement will break out of the switch, then inside the
iteration code, after
the switch block, test the variable for true. If it is true the use
another break instruction.
That should break out of the loop altogether at the end on that
particular iteration.
like so:
for($i = 0; $i somevalue; $i++)
{
$bar = false;
switch($anotherValue[$i]) // /this assumes you are looping
through an indexed array
{ case 'foo':
$bar = true
//other code;
break;
default;
// $bar is not set to true so the loop continues
}
if($bar == true)
{
break;
}
/* instead of the default line in the switch statement
else
{
continue;
}
*/
}
Hope this is useful.
