From usability point of view such check will, in many cases, generate
annoyance, and bring nothing.
If I do not want to enter anything, and you error me to enter
something, I'll do like this -
asdlöfjasdpoöfja spdfj as fsdaölkjf
And your check is dead. If you want something, you will get something.
It is hard (from usability point of view) to validate textarea to that
extent, and especially - to get reasonable answers...
I work for a scientific database, where all content providers are very
intelligent, well educated and very disciplined, and the content editors
still have hard time thinking how to guide the content provider so that
they provide reasonable input.
Your problem is not so much php related, but a usability and editorial one.

Well, chop() is an alias of rtrim(), so it won't work here for, say,
trimming control characters at the end of the string like line feeds.
trim() is actually the best bit here.

There is always using substr to mimic the Perl chomp() function. Look thru
the comments on http://us.php.net/chop and you'll find a few different ways
of doing it.
Or just use trim() :-)

[PHP] form validation using php
hi
i need to validate a field in a form where a user enters their lodgement
number as part of a registration form. this lodgement number can have
letters, numbers, spaces and special characters. i do not know exactly what
those special characters are, so do i have to define the type of special
characters and validate accordingly.
presently my php code for validating the lodgement number is
$lodgementtf = $_POST[lodgementtf];
if($lodgementtf == || !preg_match(/^[a-zA-Z0-9_ ]+$/, $lodgementtf) )
{
echo display error message:
}
i also have another way of validating
if($lodgementnumber == || !preg_match(/^[a-zA-Z0-9_ [EMAIL
PROTECTED]*()]+$/,
$lodgementnumber) )
does this mean that the special characters can only be = a space AND
[EMAIL PROTECTED]*() and no other special characters.
please advice.
thanks.

How are you sending it? through a php script or through a normal html tag? If it's through a php script, try setting a far-future expiry header.

A lot of people think that Can't fault them. until their host upgrades php. Any host that upgrades the PHP version (a major upgrade considering it would be 5 - 6) without notifying Customers isn't a very good hosting company, and you really should change to a better one (Rackspace are good). Even 1and1 don't do that and they're pants (IMO). Plus you need to consider how long they would take to use PHP6 exclusively - my guess it would be at least a year; probably longer. Have you seen how many things are being removed for php6? Nope. Why? It's not even out yet in beta and therefore not worth my time considering. ISTR having read something about a 5.3 release, which I read would have namespaces.

But sendmail still replies swiftly when this problem occurs. By this, I guesss you mean that other connections to sendmail reply swiftly: so the server is not just jamming up completely and refusing requests ? Right, I can still create new connections that perform well, with no noticeable delay when talking to sendmail. The mail queue doesn't grow. It might depend on the exact implementation of 'sendmail': for example, the Courier mail system which I use replaces the program 'sendmail' with it's own binary to do the job. Courier also has a 'tar-pitting' feature which is triggered by behaviour that looks like a spammer is trying to relay stuff: it atificially slows the response to the send requests if there is an unreasonably high rate of requests coming from a given source. At least that's how I understand the feature to work. Other mail system may implement a similar feature - it might just be that your mailing script looks like a spam engine to the mail server. I disabled all the limiting features of sendmail without result (QUEUE_LA, REFUSE_LA, confBAD_RCPT_THROTTLE...) The user sending emails is trusted by sendmail, and the sending program is located on the sendmail machine. Restarting sendmail has no effect on these scripts. Restarting the scripts makes them run like hell for some hours, until the problem rises again. I'm using PHP 5.2.5 I don't know where to look next for the source of this problem... I think you need to provide some more detail - you could start by explaining what method you use to send the messages. The next thing to do is to look at the mail logs and see if there are any messages written around the time that yourt script runs. Don't always assume that it is your code that is wrong (that's what managers are for) Mail is sent via PHPMailer. PHPMailer offers to send mail via PHP's mail() function, or by calling the sendmail program or using SMTP. SMTP may use persistent connections or not. All these modes were tested and they all slow down after a while. I didn't notice anything special in the maillog or other logs on the machine.

[PHP] how do I stop Firefox doing a conditional get?
All, not really PHP related, but I figured someone here would already have solved this problem. I've got a page with a single img. I change the src attribute dynamically using javascript. Although the images being served all have long expiry times, Firefox still does a conditional get to which apache says 304 as it should. The issue is - I'd like this page to appear to be as real time as possible, and the occasional delay caused by the conditional get is a nuisance. My images are clearly cached, so how do I prevent Firefox from doing the conditional get ?

You have messed up the brackets. This -

should be -
strlen(trim($name)) == 0

2). and
then work on the array using the loops conditions
$query = select * from tablename;
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($arr = somefunction($result)){
$resultarray[] = $arr;
}
Hope it works!
Here's a way to get a 2-dimensional array of results that you can loop
through when needed. Don't know if it's what you need, but it's useful
when you have more than 1 row as a result.
?php
function fetchObjectsAsArray ($sql)
{
$result = mysql_query ($sql);
if (!$obj['count'] = mysql_num_rows ($result)) { return null; }
while ($rows[] = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) { }
foreach ($rows as $array) {
foreach ($array as $field = $value) {
$obj[$field][] = $value;
}
}
return $obj;
}
?
Have fun!

[PHP] Question about setting up FTP Upload and using the FTP suite...
Hello all,
I am just trying to see if I can connect up with my internal FTP server from
our website. The server is accessible from the outside world, as we can log
in using a client, etc. I am not really sure how to troubleshoot this, but
below is the script that I have. I found it on the net (and can't remember
where), and changed it a bit for my needs. It would appear that the call to
'ftp_connect' is where it fails. I tried this with both a URL as well as the
actual IP address, both error at the same place with the same error. Is
there a way to get an actual error message that is a bit more explanatory as
to what is happening?
?php
$ftp_server = FTP.URL;
$ftp_user = USER;
$ftp_pass = PASSWORD;
echo Trying to connect with $ftp_server using $ftp_user, $ftp_pass;
// set up a connection or die
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die(Couldn't connect to
$ftp_server);
if ($conn_id) {
echo Logging in as $ftp_user, $ftp_pass.;
$login = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass);
// try to login
if ($login) {
echo Connected as [EMAIL PROTECTED];
} else {
echo Couldn't connect as $ftp_user\n;
}
// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
} else {
echo Could not establish connection;
}
?
Thanks for your help,
Mike

[PHP] JavaScript and PHP
Hi,
I have this HTML/JS page that switches images clicking on the radio
buttons and call template.php with the image ID as parameter:
http://portulan-online.net/einstein.html
Now, I need to make it a PHP page, because it is going to receive a
parameter from the URL that calls it and pass it as is to template.php
So, einstein.php will be called with a parameter (satellite):
http://portulan-online.net/einstein.php?satellite=123
After that, in einstein.php, I do:
$satellite = $_REQUEST['satellite'];
Next thing, I need the action in the JavaScript to be, for example:
http://portulan-online.net/template.php?id=3satellite=123
What I don't know is how to mix the PHP variable satellite with the
image ID here:
document.getElementById('image1').src =
http://portulan-online.net/einstein-; + ID + .png;
I've tried putting einstein.php all inside an echo, but the radio
buttons and the submit button stopped working.
Does anyone knows how to do this ?
Any help would be appreciated.

You could do that. Also, I'd suggest using $_GET instead of $_REQUEST.

[PHP] Tracking down the elusive expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM
I have a class that is throwing the error:
syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM ...
It is appearing in the constructor of a parent class
abstract class parent
{
protected $titles = array('title1','title2','title3');
protected $a;
function __construct($set = NULL, $special = NULL)
{
self::$this-titles = array_merge(self::$this-titles, $special);
//error
foreach($set as $key=value)
{
if (array_key_exists($key,$this-titles)
{
$this-a[$key] = $value;
}
}
}
}
class child extends parent
{
protected $titles = array('titleA', 'titleB', 'titleC');
function __construct($set, $special = NULL)
{
self::$this-titles = array_merge(self::$this-titles, $special);
parent::__construct($set, self::$this-titles);
unset($this-titles);
}
}
Basically parent is an extensible tool for holding data with titles that
dictate behavior later in the script. Eventually I will have a dozen or
so different child classes each using an identical API. But first I
need this constructor to work. The parent constructor just tacks the
array of titles from the $special attributes onto the end of the $titles
array.

Anyway, using spaces in HTML form name and ID compartments is
illegal, and you're not encapsulating the data in quotes. So HTML
thinks that the first word of the bunch is the name of the form
element, then skips the rest. For valid HTML:
?php
// foreach
echo tdinput name=\.str_replace(' ','_',$key).\
type=\checkbox\ value=\.$value.\/tdtd.$value./td;
?
Otherwise, if you still want to use spaced form field names, you
can enclose them in quotes (as shown above) and the browser will
probably automatically urlencode() the data on submit.

Look at the source of the page that this script generates. Your input
tags look like this
tdinput name=Main Classroom type=checkbox value=Main
Classroom/tdtdMain Classroom/td
See the problem? The html attribute values have spaces in them. As far
as your browser knows Classroom is supposed to be an attribute like
type and value. Since it doesn't understand it it drops it.
Here is some code, notice the \ surrounding the .$key.
?php
$vars = array(Main Classroom = Main Classroom,
Break Out Classroom = Break Out Classroom,
Gym = Gym,
Firearms Range = Firearms Range,
EVOC Track = EVOC Track);

That means something along the lines of two times the two marks in Hebrew.
However, in your case, you're checking the error on the wrong
line. Look at your foreach() statement. It should instead read as
follows:
?php
foreach($set as $key = $value) { // You just missed the $ before value.
?
Also, check this line:
?php
if (array_key_exists($key,$this-titles)

You're missing a ')' to close the if() statement. It's not
causing this problem, but it will cause a problem afterward.

[PHP] Variable Scope from child to parent
I am trying to get a child class to pass an array of valid keys to it's
parent when the constructor is run, and the parent appends the data to
one of it's array of valid keys. Then it walks through an array pulling
out values that have valid keys, and putting them in an array for
processing later. I have tried explicitly stating the variable scope.
abstract class parentclass
{
protected $vkeys= array('title1','title2','title3');
protected $a;
function __construct($set = NULL, $special = NULL)
{
self::$this-vkeys= array_merge(self::$this-vkeys, $special);
foreach($set as $key=$value)
{
if (in_array($key,self::$this-vkeys))
{
$this-a[$key] = $value;
}
}
print_r(self::$this-vkeys); //output below
print_r(self::$this-a); //output below
}
}
class childclass extends parentclass
{
protected $vkeys= array('titleA', 'titleB', 'TitleC');
function __construct($set, $special = NULL)
{
parent::__construct($set, self::$this-vkeys);
unset(self::$this-vkeys);
}
}
Unfortunately it seems to duplicate the child's array instead of
appending. Explicitly stating scope does not seem to help.
print_r(self::$this-vkeys);

Yeah, you are right, friend. Because users' input should be in body tag only.

[PHP] Validating Form input
I was wondering what others think of my approach to form validation. I know many use Java script to do various validation. However, since there is no way to be sure the data sent to the server is actually valid, you have to check it in your php code on the server anyway. Granted you don't have to, but if you don't, you are just asking for someone to hack your system, or at the very least screw up your data. So my question is since you have to do a validity check on the server, why bother with the Java script? The only advantage I can see to doing it with Java script is it will cut down on the errors in data that get to the server and then in turn reduce the number for resubmits and keep traffic down a little. However since none of the projects I have worked on are very high traffic sites, that hasn't been much of a concern.

Re: [PHP] Validating Form input
client validation is a way to provide quick response to the user for whether their input is correct or not. It doesn't guarantee correctness of the posted data.

PHP level validation is a must, as JavaScript is unreliable at best. Now, the only real advantage I've seen with JS validation is just to have that first line of validation to save the end user some time in between submits. If you don't want to bother with it, don't.

You're using a Hebrew version of PHP?

by definition even in the english version T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM is
used to name ::
That means something along the lines of two times the two marks in
Hebrew.
However, in your case, you're checking the error on the wrong
line. Look at your foreach() statement. It should instead read as
follows:
?php
foreach($set as $key = $value) { // You just missed the $ before value.
?
Also, check this line:
?php
if (array_key_exists($key,$this-titles)
?
You're missing a ')' to close the if() statement. It's not
causing this problem, but it will cause a problem afterward.

[PHP] Using SVN w/ Zend Studio for Eclipse
Hey all, Apologies ahead of time if this isn't the appropriate forum for my inquiry. I'm evaluating Zend Studio for Eclipse and it's certainly making some features that I'd hope would be trivial, extremely onerous. I'm simply trying to take an existing project which I started in TextMate and import it into ZS for Eclipse with Subversion controls attached to the project. I do not want to copy the project into a new directory as the existing directory is where Apache's DocumentRoot is set. And although that's simple to change, I really don't think any IDE should mandate where I set my project's directory on the filesystem. Also, if I try to create a new project from an SVN Repository, it doesn't allow me to select what directory I want the code checked out in. Otherwise I'd just cringe and let it overwrite what's in my existing document root, since that's all versioned code anyhow. If I just create a new project, and import the directory of the code base (which is under version control already), it doesn't pick up the subversion controls in the IDE itself. If any of you have run into similar frustrations, I'd love to hear it. So far I've spent the better part of the evening fiddling with extremely rudimentary features which no IDE in any programming environment I've ever worked with has imposed on me. Perhaps this thing isn't ready for mainstream yet, or perhaps I'm missing something obvious. Thanks for any insight. /rant /sf -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I ignore JavaScript validation unless I think the round trip is an issue. Since I'm not working on any million hit per day systems, it's not an issue. When it becomes an issue... it's simple enough to add the JavaScript.

Re: [PHP] Variable Scope from child to parent

later. I have tried explicitly stating the variable scope.

Unfortunately it seems to duplicate the child's array instead of appending.
Explicitly stating scope does not seem to help.

Yes, this raw string can't be stripped by strip_tags. But actually, how
the string take xss? The string has been urldecoded before we use it.
for example:
assuming url is
test.php?test_string=%3C%68%31%3E%68%65%6C%6C%6F%20%77%6F%72%6C%64%3C%2F%68%31%3E
?php
var_dump( strip_tags( $_GET[ 'test_string' ] ) );
?
should be produce string(11) hello world.
