Re: [PHP] Loop, array, life....
You only want to retrieve the news from your table once.
So, pull pull this code:
$container[] = $message;
while (list($news, $date) = mysql_fetch_row($newsfetch)) {
$container[] = 'a href='newslink.php'' . $news . '/a';
$container[] = 'brhrbr';
}
$container[] = '/body/html';
outside of (before) this loop:
while ($data = mysql_fetch_row($emailfetch)) {

Ok, this one is breaking my back all day.

$message = '';
foreach($container as $foo) {
$message .= $foo;
}
mail(Send mail to $data[0]);
unset($container);
}
}
Basically it grabs all the user's email addresses, then loop them.
On each loop grab all news items.
Then emails results to the user and moves on to the next user.
Im running this on my test box, that only has two users, but the 2nd
user never gets the expected results.
The first user get the message and the news.
The second only gets the message.
The code structure is pretty much unchanged from a working example till
I started using $container to hold array elements.
Could anyone see bad logic in the above code??
Thanks

Re: [PHP] Regular Expression Challenge
You won't be able to do that with a regexp alone. Recursively matching
isn't possible. You'll need a little help from some additional code.
?php
$string = wed-thurs 9:35, 14:56, 18:35; // YOUR STRING
$regexp = ^([a-z]+)-([a-z]+)[\ ]+(.*)$;
// GETS (day)-(day) (any/all times)
$find = ereg( $regexp, $string, $matches );
$times = explode( ,, $matches[3] ); // BREAK APART (.*)
print( $matches[1] . br\n . $matches[2] . br\n );
while( list( $key, $val ) = each( $times ) ){
print( trim( ${val} ) . br\n );
}
?
That seems to do the trick. Hopefully that gets ya closer to where you
want to go. If you really needed to regexp match on the times, you can
do that within the while loop.

Anyone have any ideas?

There can be any number of 'times' in the string and also the 'times' can
be with or without the colon and the minutes, hence the '}:?[0-9]{0,2}'

One way I handle this ... it's a work-around, so it's not all that pretty:
In the doc root on all the domains, I keep a script which just prints out
the cookie names values for any cookies accessible by the domain ... as
JavaScript variables. Then that script can be used as the src in a
script on any of your other domains. BINGO ... you've got cookies!
Want milk?
On domain_A, have this script (let's call it A_cookies.php):
while( list( $key, $val ) = each( $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS ) ){
print( var $key = \$val\;\n );
}
On domain_B, in an HTML document, use some JavaScript:
script src=http://domain_A/A_cookies.php;/script
The pitfalls:
- not useful with users whom have JavaScript or cookies disabled
- now you have to do all cookie data handling on the client side
- this is a third-party activity[1] which more secure-minded people and
browsers will disallow. (IE6, as a P3P-enabled user agent, is a prime
example.)
I only do this for data which makes the user experience better between two
sites. It's one of those bells and whistles kind of deals. When it
doesn't work as desired, the sites still function properly.
If I were to try this to track data on a particular user between sites,
I'd store only a session ID in a cookie (a la PHP sessions), use the above
method to get the session ID data into a javascript variable and source it
across sites, then use custom session handlers to put session data into a
single database, with the data associated to the session ID. The same
pitfalls apply ... so you'd lose track of some visitors when they switch
sites. I don't consider this a big deal, because this is just how the
Internet is evolving.

[1] Having a file from domain_B referenced from within a document on
domain_A renders the file from domain_B a third-party document. There are
inititives to control third-party cookie reading/writing, like banner ads,
and they affect this method of cookie reading too.

Re: [PHP] Anyway to open a PHP file and view its code in the browser?
Create a script to which you can pass a file namem and calls show_source() on the file name. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.show-source.php Be very careful to check the input, such that the file name parameter which eventually gets passed to show_source() cannot be one which you do not want to be displayed to everyone in the world.

There are several things you need to do.
1) include the class definition before you do anything
2) start the session shortly thereafter
3) register a session variable
4) create your object
5) serialize your object
6) store the serialized object (now a string) in your registered session
variable
Then to use the object again, you just have to
7) start the session back up
8) get the serialized value of your object from the registered session
variable
9) unserialize the string value back into an object

Re: [PHP] Segmented Code/HTML VS. ECHO??
I _hate_ echo'n out big batches of HTML, so I never do it. I prefer to
include HTML, or have a class or function write HTML. However, printing
in heredoc style is very handy ... more so than sliced bread.
For example:
?php
$color = #FFCC00;
$name = Yogi;
print EOF
font color=${color}The bear is ${name}./font
!-- this can be as much plain HTML intermixed with PHP
variables as you like --
EOF;
print( date() );
?
PHP code, followed by plain HTML (I put in some PHP variables, but they
aren't necessary) (without a bunch of echo/print calls, or having to
escape quotes), followed by more PHP ... wash, rinse, repeat as much as
necessary ... you get the picture. It works out rather nicely.

You sure can. You can use variable variables wherever you can use regular
variables. They're really no different than regular variables, except you
have to keep track of what the variable will be named while coding :)

Re: [PHP] Cookies, Sessions and Login Proceess
Just do your authentication before you send any HTML (including any whitespace). I actually recommend not sending ANY HTML from your authentication script. Authenticate them, set your cookie, and redirect the visitor to an appropriate next page, based on whether or not they've successfully authenticated. BTW - storing the username/password in the cookie makes no sense They've already authenticated ... just store a user-is-logged-in cookie which expires after X minutes/hours/etc. It's a good practice for when you'll have to deal with privacy security concerns. ~Chris /\ \ / September 11, 2001 X We Are All New Yorkers / \ rm -rf /bin/laden On Mon, 12 Nov 2001, Joe Van Meer wrote: Hi there, I'm new to php coming from an asp background and would like to know the easiest way to automate a login process.

Re: [PHP] Getting uploaded filename directory
If the path doesn't ride along in the _name variable (and I don't know of a case when it would), Nope. The value of the input element when the type = file isn't useable, except as an initial file name, so using JavaScript won't be helpful. I think the input element is implemented for type = file that way on purpose. Providing user/visitor filesystem information is a privacy/security risk. Your last chance to get the path info would be to ask the user to explicitly put it into a text form field ;) ~Chris /\ \ / September 11, 2001 X We Are All New Yorkers / \ rm -rf /bin/laden On Mon, 12 Nov 2001, Boget, Chris wrote: In setting up a form to allow a user to upload a file, upon submission of that form, you can get the actual file name that is being uploaded by accessing the variable: $userfile_name (assuming the form element's name where the user specifies the file is $userfile).

Re: [PHP] some questions on sessions (long)...
Your problem probably is including the miec.php from the .shtml document. Does the .shtml document send any output to the browser before including your .php script? If so, you're not going to be able to send any cookies from the .php script. Once any standard output makes it to the browser (including any leading whitespace), no more headers can be sent to the browser. PHP sends cookies to the browser as header data. Hence, if your .shtml document has any output before your .php document is included, your session cookie cannot be sent. ~Chris /\ \ / September 11, 2001 X We Are All New Yorkers / \ rm -rf /bin/laden On Mon, 12 Nov 2001, Christian Dechery wrote: I've recently had a problem with sessions, and came up with a problem that apparently has no solution... I want to understand why EXACTLY it does't work... From what I understand about sessions (reading PHP Docs), cookies are default and URLs holding the session_id are used if the cookies can be used to get the current session_id right? So if, there's a cookie indicating a session, PHP will detect it and the session will work beatifully.. If when a session is created, a cookie cannot be set, then the URLs come into play.. right? -- I'm I right so far? -- So, I can only presume, that whenever I can see those URLs with session_ids, this means that no cookie was created... and if one of those URLs is clicked, the session will persist, since the URL is carrying the session_id. Well, now to the problem with no solution... I've described it here on the list a couple of times... sorry if this is getting too annoying. 1 - I have a PHP script, that uses sessions, it's called miec.php miec.php uses both cookies and sessions... the cookie holds the user_id and the session holds an array of every product the user has seen, so they won't repeat... of course, the session only gets initialized if the cookie with the user id is found... if not, a login form is shown... 2 - I have a html file, demo.shtml, which with SSI includes miec.php The inclusion works fine, even the cookie with the user id gets detected and the username is shown as expected Now, the problem. If I run miec.php solo on the browser, everything works perfectly. But if I call demo.shtml, something goes wrong, and I want to know what. When demo.shtml is called, the cookie works (the user id is detected) and the session gets started. I can see the URLs with the session id AND the session file in my webserver. The problem is that, the session doesn't persist, each time I reload demo.sthml, a new session is created. Now get this... if I call miec.php and then demo.shtml, everything works. Why? My guess is, miec.php running solo is able to create the cookie with the session id, while when SSI included it can't, which explain the URLs. Obviously, URLs (example: demo.shtml?sID=3897348734) aren't helpful here, since it's a html file, and it can't parse the query string to send the variable to an SSI included php file. But why the cookie can't be created? Headers aren't the problem... if a session can be created and the session vars registered it's because the headers have not been sent, so why can't a cookie be created in this conditions. Does anyone has a clue?? p.s: the problem is solved, I force the user to login in case of miec.php is SSI included, which works, since the session is created elsewhere (login.php). _ .

I just got done doing that, and i got the same thing! :-(
Here's something interesting though. There's an id field that's set to

This gave me this:
id | passcode

Shouldn't the ID's be further apart than that? Know what I'm saying?

What could be wrong? I've used a logical OR operator in the middle of an IF

Anyone got any ideas? I suppose I can just evaluate this with two different
IF statements, but it seems like I shoud be able to do it in one and reduce
duplicate code. Thanks very much in advance.

with logical or in any versions of PHP. If this doesn't work for you,
I'm not sure where to go. (It works on my server ... PHP 4.0.6-5 ...

Thanks Chrisopher,
Yeah, I was a tad confused. What I wanted to say in my statement was really
this:

string;
}
else {
print you can't have a dash at the beginning or end of your string.;

I like the simplifying of the statement by counting backwards regardless of
the string length. But I still can't get the darn thing to work if I use:
if ((substr($sString,-1,1)!=-) or (substr($sString,0,1)!=-))
It only works if I use (substr($sString,-1,1)!=-) or
(substr($sString,0,1)!=-) by themselves. That only catches one half of
what I am trying to do though. I get the results I expect indivitually so
that -hello fails with one part of the statement and hello- fails with
the other part, but when I use them together with the OR operator, it
doesn't pick up either case, -hello or hello-.
I think I'm going to have to resort to evaluating the string with more than
just the one IF statement and use an ELSEIF and duplicate some code to make
this work. Thanks very much in advance.

Re: [PHP] Stopping the browser from continuing to load
For a process that takes a long time, I usually break the user interaction the processing apart. For instance, when the user makes a submission from the browser interface, the PHP takes the submitted data and stores it someplace on the file system or in a database. This being a quick operation, the user can be safely notified that their submission is complete, and the user can go about his/her business within the browser interface. Then there is a process that runs on the server, say every minute (asynchronously from visitors triggering the PHP script), that is looking for new data in the location the PHP script deposits the submitted data, and processes it. It's a bit more work than just making the PHP script execute for hours, but it is far better use of the server's resources, and gives you much more flexibility to alter the processing w/o affecting the user experience (actually creating a better user experience). g.luck, ~Chris /\ \ / September 11, 2001 X We Are All New Yorkers / \ rm -rf /bin/laden On Fri, 19 Oct 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All- I have a script in which I use ignore_user_abort() to perform some extensive processing that can take a few hours which there is no need for users to wait for.

[PHP] mssql freetds php4 linux
I'm running php 4.0.6.7rc2-3 with freetds 0.52-3 support on a debian linux
server. This is a winning combination to work with MSSQL2000. However
I'm running into some odd behavior when performing multiple queries on the
same connection (link) identifier.
I create a connection to the dbms and select a database. Then I perform
an insert.
[ $CN01 = mssql_connect('host','uname','passwd');
mssql_select_db('mydb',$CN01);
$RS01 = mssql_query(insert into foo values ('bar1','bar2'), $CN01); ]
I folllow this operation by a select on table 'foo'.
[ $RS02 = mssql_query(select * from foo, $CN01); ]
This second query is never successful. It appears that the link ($CN01)
is destroyed after the first query (the insert). When I print $CN01
before the first query, it's value is Resource id #1 but when I print
$CN01 after that query and before the second query, it is null.
I can successfully perform the second query by opening a new connection to
the dbms and using it for the second query. ALSO, I can successfully
perform the queries in reverse order, select first then insert, without
using a new connection. (A bit more experimentation shows I don't have
this problem with mod_perl.) I've also tried this with the sybase_*()
functions, and I get the same results.
Is there any reason why I must open a new connection to perform a select
after performing an insert on an mssql2K table [using php]?

So, your PHP scripts are on one server, and your big images are on a separate server?

I wish you luck fighting your ISP if the contract doesn't define for which traffic you'll be billed. Aside from the ISP issue ... dynamically resizing 80K images on the fly is frightful thing.

Try giving the input fields id's that you can use from JavaScript.

then from your JavaScript, you can refer to that field by referencing

And you can still use $myField[] in PHP.

I know exactly how to do it ... I do similar tasks routinely ... on my Linux servers.

That recursively finds all files starting in whatever directory you like,
and creates the newly-named files with all the references corrected as
desired (with a small addition, the old files can be archived or removed).
I just had some fun with that script and a copy of an old doc root ... 17
directories, deepest directory was at 3 levels, and 216 .php3 files (from
1998 :) ... took a few seconds to make all the modifications.

I also get this: The error you get isn't saying that line 11 is sending output; the error is saying that output was sent prior to line 11. You'll get the error if you have any code that sends output to STDOUT, or if you have any HTML or even whitespace before your opening PHP tag, and then try to send header data. (Once the browser starts getting the data your PHP script sends to STDOUT and other HTML and spaces, the browser has all the header data its going to use, and sending more is erroneous.) Warning: Undefined index: userid in c:\apache\apache\htdocs\client-secure.php on line 11 Which would indicate that it cant find the session info. If it cant find it does it write it? Make sure you registered userid as a session variable i.e. - session_register(userid); And/Or make sure you make a call to session_start() before trying to check the session variable(s) if you registered the variable in another script and/or don't have session.auto_start set to 1.

Re: [PHP] fpassthru (was: fgets)
On Thu, 30 Aug 2001, Joseph Bannon wrote: What exactly does fpassthru do? Does it download it to my server and then shoot it to the browser?? (http://php.net/fpassthru) For the file pointer on which it operates, it reads the file pointer until EOF and sends the data to STDOUT. It is very much like the 'cat' command in Unix. The file pointer can be to a local or remote file opened with fopen(), or a remote data source opened with fsockopen(). And as always, there's a gem in the docs ... readfile() does the same thing as fpassthru() but doesn't need a file pointer. It just needs a path to a file, so you can eliminate the fopen(). ~Chris /\ \ / Pine Ribbon Campaign Microsoft Security Specialist X Against Outlook The moron in Oxymoron. / \ http://www.thebackrow.net -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] fpassthru (was: fgets)
On Thu, 30 Aug 2001, Joseph Bannon wrote: The thing I want to avoid is using my server's bandwidth. Each member gets a profile and can have a photo referenced from their homepage. I use to allow people to upload photos, but I'm getting close to using my 60GB bandwith limit. The people that have photos on geocities couldn't reference a photo because their servers don't allow remote hosts displaying pictures off their site. Using 'fpassthru' fixed that. However, my next question is if the 'fpassthru' brings the information to my server and then shoots it to the visitor's browser. I know I'm not saving their photos to my server, I just want to make sure I'm not killing my alotted bandwith. Does 'fpassthru' do this? If so, is there another solution? If the image you're sending to the browser comes from a remote host, unfortunately, yes, that image data does get transferred to your server, and then gets transferred again to the users' browsers. Since PHP is a server-side solution, there isn't a way to skip out on the data transfer to your server and use PHP to send the image. The image data has to come from your server when using PHP. You may have to get creative with HTML, DHTML, etc. to work around displaying the remote images from your site. ~Chris /\ \ / Pine Ribbon Campaign Microsoft Security Specialist X Against Outlook The moron in Oxymoron. / \ http://www.thebackrow.net -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For the sake of simplicity, I left off additional error checking I do ...

(http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php) work well too. When just
pushing out an unmodified image, the above code has proven simplest for
me.

And foo is just a seemingly universal place-holder for a string or something else that you can replace with just about anything. ~Chris /\ \ / Pine Ribbon Campaign Microsoft Security Specialist X Against Outlook The moron in Oxymoron. / \ http://www.thebackrow.net -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
