[PHP] fopen() and persmissions
as I've seen PHP running as Apache module cannot create or update files...
it gives me 'permission denied'...
so I've tried these solutions:
* fopen("ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/newfile.ext","w";);
this actually works... but only for "w"... if I wanna update this file,
like "a", it can't be done as it says the file already exists... so I'd
have to read it entirely, add the new data and write it back... (not so
good)
* chmod 777 in the dir I am... so 'nobody' (apache user) can write to it...
but what happens is that, the file isn't mine... it belongs to nobody... so
I have no rights to it in FTP or telnet...
is there a better solution then either of these two???

[PHP] sending attachments via mail(), possible?
Is it possible to send attachments via mail() function?
I tried it, and it didn't work out... the email I receive is all messed up,
and even the simple text part of it is screwed up. I now very little about
MIME, but I really need to send an attachment, any help? It's a text
attachment...
This is the code I'm using:
function send_email($body,$num_pedido,$filename)
{
define(NL,"\n");
$boundary="test".chr(rand(65,91))."".md5(uniqid(rand()));
$message="Segue em anexo dados referentes ao pedido $num_pedido.".NL.NL;
$message="Content-type: text/plain\nContent-transfer-encoding:
7bit".NL.NL.$message;
$attach="Content-type: text/plain\nContent-transfer-encoding:
base64\nContent-disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename.NL.NL;
$attach.=base64_encode($body);
$attach.=NL;
$mail_body=$boundary.NL.$message.$boundary.NL.$attach.$boundary."-";
$header="MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type:
multipart/mixed;\n\tboundary=\"".$boundary."\"\nContent-Transfer-Encoding:
7bit";
// echo "$mail_body";
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]","CDYOU Pedido:
".$num_pedido,$mail_body,$header);
}
the headers are sent perfectly... and if I echo the $mail_body (I think)
it's correct, but when I get the mail it's all screwed up...
thanks...

using:

$att="";
else
$att=" attachment;";
header("Content-type: application/download");
header("Content-disposition:".$att." filename=".$filename);
but the problem is, the output is comming as binary... so the '\n' is not
working, instead it'comming as a one giant line with lots of weird chars
instead of '\n'... how do I force it to be in ASCII mode?

tried that... didn't work... all it did was tried to save the file being
displayed (the form) to script.html..
I'm going to explain a little better what my script does, so it's easier to
help me.
there is a form with only one field... a file field... than the user
selects the file, clicks on submit, by doing this, the file is uploaded and
processed... it's a CSV file, that has to be checked and processed and
return another CSV file with a specific filename (in my case
$filename="003".date("dmy").".txt";)... so what I really want is the user
to download this file with the processed content from the uploaded file...
Do I really have to create this file with fopen() or something and only
then put the headers? In this case I'd have a file that I don't want... I'd
have to delete it later on, isn't there a way I can just redirect all the
output generated by php to a download and instruct the browser the filename
to be saved?
Where can I get some reference to all this header stuff?

[PHP] forcing download of new file
I want the script I'm doing to redirect all the output to a filename and that it gets downloaded. In other words... When someone presses the submit button I want the download screen to show with the filename I declared so the user can save the output from the script. something like this: - there's a form, the user fills it up and presses submit - then instead of showing the output on the screen I want the output to go to a file for him to download with a dynamically made filename (in this case the date) containing the results of the execution of the script is this possible?

Re: [PHP] forcing upload instead of showing doc
It didn't work at all.
It started a download, but with a filename called myscriptfilename.html
and with the contents of the html (in this case the form) being shown and
not the output.
I want to set these headers, and then do regular echo statements to this
newly created downloading file.

[PHP] arrays and strings... a little confusing.
Whats is the difference between [] and {} ?
define(NL,"\n");
$str="How do you do?";
echo $str[3].NL;
echo $str{3}.NL;
$array = array("how","do","you","do?");
echo $array[2].NL;
echo $array{2}.NL;
this outputs
d
d
you
you
so there's no difference right? When does a string become an array and
vice-versa?
if I do $str=(array)$str; then $str[0] will contain "How do you do?" but if
I do $array=(string)$array then $array contains the string "Array", so it
doesn't work both ways. How does PHP works with this? I come from C where a
string and an array of char is exactly the same thing, so this kinda
confuses me.

Yeah... I know what you and Jason mean.
I justed pointed out that it could work nicely... and I just tought of
that... I user header("location: ... ") on all my scripts and struggle to
put them before any output (that's not easy)...
I work on a e-commerce website (coding in ASP, but what can I do?) with
lots of JavaScript calls that in some cases are the heart of the operation,
and we never had any trouble or complaints with it.
I know that, the best way is to get your script running anywhere regardless
of what browser or OS people use, but is important too to use as much of
the technology as you can. Like HTML capable clients... in a recent pass,
that was a nightmare cuz half the people used the most outdated email
clients, but nowadays, almost every spam or corporate email I get, is HTML,
people who don't have HTML capable clients, hurry to get them. I won't even
get started with "Your browser isn't frames capable",
hehe. Javascipt is almost a standard and it is a great help in many cases
where server-side simply won't do the job. I don't know... I'm just
thinking here... maybe its all BS! :)

[PHP] weird mail() behaviour
I have a formmail script that works both under Win32 as in Linux. It has a function email() that calls either mail() if in Win32 or sendmail() if in Linux... in Linux this sendmail() function works exactly as mail() but calling a popen() to sendmail... and it works fine.. but sometimes in Win mail() simply terminates the script and the email isn't sent. It's weird, it's like mail() had some internall error and had to quit the entire script execution, cuz nothing after the mail() funcion is called happens, and it does not give me any error message either... ____ .

[PHP] huge PHP file, hardcore processing
I have a huge (at least I think, for a script anyway) PHP script... it is over 1.000 lines of code. And it updates (do an entire DELETE-ALL / LOAD-ALL) an SQL Server database (over 35MB). It runs for over an hour (sometimes 2hs)... and I divided it into steps... so each step is a function in the script that when is over calls a javascript function that reloads the script to the next step. I was wondering if this is enough to get a good 'memory-cleaning'. Or it would be better to have lots of files (in total, there are 27 separate steps). I began noticing some processing slowness after the first 35 mins... it get's 'tired'. The script starts running and with ob_implicit_flush() on, the output is flushed almost at real time... but after 10 or 12 steps it starts to get slow and do NO FLUSHING at all... only showing the entire output at once after the whole step has ended. Should I split it into files? Is because it's running on (eek!) IIS? Maybe the size of the file is getting in the way? Can someone help me out? Ah... one other thing. Has anybody experienced very weird behaviours of PHP with IIS? Sometimes I press 'stop' at the browser but PHP is still running. I can see it eating up memory in the TaskManager. And it won't stop until I kill it. And the most weird part is, as soon as I call a script (any script) PHP returns to the TaskManager with the same amount of memory it had when it was running tha massive script mentioned above. Does IIS really suck, or is there something very wrong with my config? ____ . Christian Dechery (lemming) . http://www.tanamesa.com.br .

[PHP] ob_*() functions in Win9x
While struggling to get MS SQL error messages from PHP, someone here gave me the idea of capturing the output when executing a query and even offered me the code (thanks again)... I tried, the code was correct, but nothing happened... I develop under Win98Me with Apache... but the script will run in Win2k with IIS... does any of the ob_*() function family works under Win9x, or just in UNIX and Win2k/NT? Is there a reasonable explanation for this? I see this as a real fault... means that nobody developing in Win9X platforms can get MS SQL error messages, or anything that needs some more of output handling, and not just relying on *_error() functions... .

[PHP] problems with session_register()...
Why does one variable gets registered and the other don't (the order
doesn't alter anything.. I've tried)...
$script_total_time=(float)$total_time;
session_register("script_total_time");
$step_times_array[$step]=$total_time;
$step_times=serialize($step_times_array);
//echo "step_times=\"$step_times\"";
session_register("step_times");
after that (and there are no mentions to either of those vars after that),
these are the contents of the session-cookie:
script_total_time|d:4.8891049623489;!step_times|
step_times simply doesn't get registered...
BTW... the commented echo above outputs:
step_times="a:1:{s:8:"download";d:4.8891049623489;}"

[PHP] MS SQL error handling...
isn't there a better way to handle MS SQL error messages? I can't even fetch them... look at these warnings... they only show in development side, I don't want warnings on the production site, so I turn them off with error_reporting()... Warning: MS SQL message: There is already an object named 'FK_genre_genre' in the database.

[PHP] MS SQL errors...
why do MS SQL reports errors so poorly on PHP? you can do anything with those errors, they're useless... and the worse part is the actual important part of the error is in the warning, and not on the contents of mssql_get_last_message(), where they should be... and, worse... mssql_query() returns false even when they query ran ok... I have a script that runs a lot of queries that loads several 'alter tables' into mssql to create FKs... for some reason when the query is run it generates a warning like this: " Context changed to database 'LIQUID' ", which is not really an error, and the query is executed... but returns false... I don't consider this to be a bug... but there's certainly something wrong about error handling in mssql_db_functions*()... ____ . Christian Dechery (lemming) . http://www.tanamesa.com.br .

[PHP] arrays in sessions, please!
Why I can get this to work?
I don't understand... I made another simple script that the only thing it
did was the "build array/serialize it/register the session var/ => next
page load unserialize it into array/update array/serialize it again".. and
it worked like a charm...
I'm doing the exact same thing here but step_times gets registered empty...
and script_total_time is OK...
and the weirdest part is that, when I uncomment the "echo ...", it displays
perfectly the contents of $step_times as a string...
PLEASE?!?!?!

$script_total_time=(float)$total_time;
session_register("script_total_time");
$step_times_array[$step]=(float)$total_time;

[PHP] Sessions: what's wrong sith this code?
I tried to put an array into a session, but I can get it to work... here is
my code:

{
$script_total_time=(float)$total_time;
session_register("script_total_time");
$step_times_array[$step]=$total_time;
$step_times=serialize($step_times_array);
//echo "step_times=\"$step_times\"";
//this when not commented, echoes perfectly the string with
the
serialized array...
session_register("step_times");
//so why doesn't it work if $step_times is in fact a string?
}

{
$script_total_time+=(float)$total_time;
$step_times_array=unserialize($step_times);
$step_times_array[$step]=$total_time;
$step_times=serialize($step_times_array);
}
the variable $script_total_time works like a charm, and it also updates
perfectly, but the step_times array simply doesn't work... I looked into
the session-cookie-file and the step_times is set but as empty... I don't
get what is wrong... For the record this is a code from a script which have
several steps, all reloads of the same .php file and I want to store the
execution times for each step (step_times) and the total running time
(already working)...

I got it working, and YES... PHP did understand the commas as separators
just like in C...
so what I have now is
for(reset($array),$count=0;$count<7;array_shift($array),$count++);
//this removes the 7 top elements of an array...
I wonder if I did a function like array_sshift(&$array,$number_of_elements)
it would work fine... I'll try...
but thanks anyway... :)

[PHP] How to jump 7 rows in array
I'm loading a set of txt files into a DB. The first 7 lines of each file are useless to me... I want some way I can always jump those 7 lines... I tought of doing a little function like jumpfirstsevenrows(array), but then I'd have to pass the whole array as parameter and that can get real memory consuming for such a small task. I'll have arrays with more than 100.000 lines... since there are pointers in PHP, I'm lost... I don't wanna have to get the same 'for bla bla bla code' in each and every function that processes this file (there is one function per file, more then 20 overall)... ________ .

[PHP] getting numeric index of array
I wanna get the numeric index for a multi-dimensional associative array... I have like $myArray = array( "one" => "something", "two" => "otherthing", "three" => "whatever" ); I want to, given the key (or value), it returns me the numeric index for that ocurrence... examples: given "one" -> returns 0 given "whatever" -> returns 2 given "two" -> returns 1 given "four" -> returns NULL or false... anyone? .

[PHP] huge time/memory consuming script
I'm thinking about building a PHP script that loads an entire database on a weekly basis, based on a text catalog. The reason I'm doing it, it's because the catalog is too generic and has lots off stuff to be done in it (such as lots of string replacements and 'fixing') before I can really parse it and create the insert statements. The doubt I have is this: it's kinda of BIG catalog, I'm talking about more than 20MB of text files, and I have to 'clean' the whole DB and load it entirely again (I don't make the rules, this is how it works)... I'm worried about the time it will take and the memory it'll cost, so I was thinking of a step-by-step solution, like break the process into several 'steps' that of course would be carried out automatically. Like I'd have So... just by reloading the page, I get a good 'memory cleaning' so I can be sure everything is going to get carried out??... there are steps that I'm worried about taking over 30min to finish, like loading the main table with 140.000 rows... thanks... .

[PHP] switch with multiple case
In ASP, you can have something like: <% select case something case "this" do that case "those","them" do other case "crap","doesn't matter","whatever" do nothing case else print error end select %> IN PHP you can't do cases like that, because like in C, u must have a constant, not a list of them.

why can't I redefine __LINE__? like define(LN,__LINE__); it's a rather big constant to put in code to generate my error messages, I was thinking more of L, or LN... but if I redefine it, it assumes the value of de redefine() line of code... so it's not really redefining a constant it's only atributing LN the value of __LINE__... and in the manual I saw examples where redefining constants were used... ________ .

[PHP] better (cleaner and smaller) code
To handle sql syntax errors (including, the query, the Line number of the
code and possibly the file name) I came up with this...
define(LN,__LINE__);
$query="bogus query to cause error";
$rslt=mysql_query($query) or query_error(LN,$query); (*)
this one works fine but I have to pass __LINE__ (LN) as an argument... and
I don't like that...
(*)
function query_error($line,$query="unspecified)
{
$errstr="SQL Error:
'$query' failed at line $line\n";
$errstr.=mysql_errno()." : ".mysql_error()."";
die($errstr);
}
or
$rslt=mysql_query($query) or user_error(mysql_error()." at
'$query'",E_USER_ERROR);
works fine too, gives me the filename, the line and handles the error more
PHP-likely... but still it's a huge function call to EVERY single query...
I want to write at least code as possible and get the error, the query, the
line number and (possibly) the filename..
isn't there anyway I could build a mask for a function or something like
that to pass __LINE__ as an argument always.. I don't know... any ideas?

I wanted a smaller code on the calls to qerr(), I'd really like to call a 1 parameter (just the query) function and print the error_msg and the line of code (the trickiest)... is there anyway I can define something as a mask for a function or something?

[PHP] need better solution
I need a better solution for reporting SQL errors. I'm used to work with ASP, and whenever a query has a syntax error, it stops the script and reports the error as if it was a compile error. This is very usefull, but int PHP it doesn't work like that, I know. I came with a function query_error() that I call after each query, that prints out the query, the error and the line... so I need to call it like this. if(!$rs) query_error($query,__LINE__); but having to writ this down after EVERY single query, along with the __LINE__ thing can get very boring, does anyone has a better solution? .

[PHP] PHP globals aren't really globals
I've been programming in C all my life, and now I just started developing in PHP and I'm really enjoying it, it has all the missing improvements that C needed to be more user-likely. But one thin I can't get, how can PHP call a variabel global, if it isn't global. A global var, is a var defined outside all functions and it's available to all and altered by all, without having to redefine or call the var again. In PHP, for a var to be global you have to add a 'global $var' inside the function u want to use it. THis is not nice, what about if u have a form with 50 fields and want a function to validate all of them, u have to pass them all to the function or build a little piece of code to make all th $GLOBALS local right?

[PHP] mysql_error() not really helping
I'm having a little trouble here developing and running queries. I spent some time developing in ASP, and whenever there was something wrong with a query, the script halted, and the error message - from ODBC, tye sql syntax error - was printed along with the line of code. In PHP that's not how it goes, it doesn't tell me when theres an error with a mysql_query unless I place a call to mysql_error() after each executed query right? That's exactly what I'm doing, but again, it doesn't do all I want, cuz it doesn't tell me the line of code, and I don't know where is the error, unless I start printing everything on error handling. ____ .

yeah... that can work, I think it's a little less messy than what I've
done... I did it like this:
for each checkbox I did
echo " Cb1 ";
then I check if isset(${"asset_".$id}) in my code... it's working fine...
but it's kinda 'dirty'... I'll try yours... thanks! :)

[PHP] LOCK TABLES x COMMIT/ROLLBACK
can someone explain me how to use LOCK TABLES to subtitute transactions? I don't seem to get how this is possible... and I really need this... I have a script that updates 4 tables at a time, and I have to be sure all of them are updated, or NONE... I can only see this possible using commit/rollback... thanks... ____ .

[PHP] transactions
Hi, I was reading mysql's manual, about transactions and all... and I didn't find what they said about 'atomic operations' being as safe as transactions. I couldn't figure out HOW to update 5 tables at a time ENSURING that ALL will be update or NONE. How can this be done without transactions? With code? I don't think so... can anyone clear my mind here... I have this problem... I need to update 4 tables at once, and if something goes wrong I have to UNDO everything ________ .

[PHP] mysql auto-increment
does mysql auto_increment always has to be 1 by 1, can't I set it to go 10 by 10, or something like that? and is there a way I can tell him to START (the first record) with a number or do I have to put a bogus record or even alter it's value so the next insertion is incremented from that... ____ .

[PHP] checkbocks, arrays and more
PLease... I need some help from u gurus on this. I have a table of gas stations (and a whole lot other tables, for stuff connected to them), and I have a table with 'assets' of each of these gas stations (or other stuff)... so I have to make a form so when inserting the user can select with of these assets it has, but also, he may add a comment to each of the assets, example: my table of assets contains: coke machine vending machine atm dinner public phone and someone is inserting a gas station there... and it has two dinners and 3 public phones, so he would check the checkboxes referring to these and add a little comment to show the number... right? but how can I pass this to the next page so I can insert in the tables? if I only had the checkboxes, it'd be easy like: <== for each of them... but how can I add the input type text next to each of the checkboxes and make them referrable? ____ .

[PHP] mysql not reporting errors
WHy PHP is not showing SQL syntax (or any) errors? I'm using Win98Me with Apache 1.3.12 and PHP 4.x. it works... if I run a correct query it runs normally, but if I go like: $query="selct nonexistingfield from nonexistingtable with all crazy syntax"; mysql_query($query); it doesn't tell me there's an error... in fact it doesn't show anything... why is that? _________ .
