Re: [PHP] What are these weird variables??

The above class is inside a defined function, are my variables not valid inside that function? well, if you have variables in the body of your script, and you want to use those same variables, you should declare them global in your function. http://us3.php.net/variables.scope hope that helps drew -- dc .. drewcore.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] mysql + addslashes + stripslashes
I do suspect though, that the problem lies with how I am using addslashes and how I am not using it. Any definitive help would be much appreciated. i'm not an expert at this, but i think that since you're using mysql to store your data, you shouldn't use addslashes() and use mysql_real_escape_string() instead... http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-real-escape-string.php but that's just me. i would run any user input through that function to make sure that it's 'safe' to put in your database. of course, i would also be checking the input to make sure that it safe by other means as well. hope that helps. -drew -- dc .. drewcore.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Hello, I'm new...
i think that you're best bet would be to find some open source community software and go with that. i built a community site from scratch one time, and while it was a lot of fun, it proved to be much more difficult that i had anticipated. so the next client that asked for a similar site ended up with a modified version of the other site with phpbb2 for a message board, another package for a photo gallery (can't recall the name right now), etc. so, in short, find some already written code, modify it a bit to suit your needs, and go with that. it'll save you a lot of time.

Re: [PHP] Re: editor that typesets the php code
well, i'm not sure what to do after your code is done, but as far as editors go, theres a free one out there that does syntax highlighting for a ton of languages (php included) called Vim... it comes with a graphical version called gvim that i do all of my coding on. no debugging features for php (afaik) but you can set up debuggers through vim (never tried though). http://www.vim.org -- dc .. drewcore.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] help with install to one page only
lisa, i think your problem may be simple enough... but if this doesn't work, i dunno... i'm guessing that you're using some webhost right? well... Note: Your file should be present in the same folder where HEC/ is present E.g: ~/testcal.php [your file where you want to display event calendar] ~/HEC/ [unzipped HEC package] ( I made a page called testcalendar.php and put it in the foldeer HEC, but I am getting error messages. okay.. you put your file (testcalendar.php) in the HEC folder, but you're supposed to put it in the same folder as the HEC folder... using windows, the path would look like this: c:\folder\subfolder\testcalendar.php c:\folder\subfolder\HEC\ but http addresses are written in unix style, so it looks like this /folder/subfolder/testcalendar.php /folder/subfolder/HEC/ hope that makes a little more sense to you... just move that file up one directory and try running it again. drew -- dc .. drewcore.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: 1 web site, 3 servers, 3 countries - best practises?
well, i guess it all depends... are you talking about having one server in south america that acts as your database server, one server in asia that's your web server, and then another server in north america that servers some other task? or are you talking about having a localized database, http, etc, server for each location (read: continent/country)? the first is easy... it'll all just mesh... the second is more difficult. drew -- dc .. drewcore.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Streaming video BLOBs from MySQL
i would approach this from another angle... why not store the videos as regular files on your server, then store the filenames as varchar (or something similar - whatever suits you best) on your database. then you can just pull up the filename from the db, and then load it the old fashioned way... and based on what you said before, it should stream. but that's just the way i'd do it... *grin* drew On 4/16/05, Ryan A [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 4/17/2005 2:08:43 AM, Chris Boget ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: If I make one pass and get 1mb of the blob...the browser is simply going to load that 1mb only, right?

Re: [PHP] Re: using rand()
i guess a good question would be which one of these methods has more overhead - having php calculate the random numbers for queries, or having the mysql db pick them at random itself? i don't really focus that much on optimization, but if you expect heavy traffic on your site, it might be in your best interest to find out which one executes quicker.

Re: [PHP] Adding Loop / If support to a simple template engine
a parser is a program that i will take some preformatted text, extract the information from it, and then do work with that information. xml programs users parses to pull data from between the tags. in your case, you'd have to have some sort of declaration in your code that sets apart code blocks you want replaced, invent some sort of system of replacing that code on demand, then write that code that implements your system. a little difficult, and out of my scope, i'm sure. unless i spent two weeks with minimal sleep. drew On Apr 6, 2005 9:37 PM, James Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Richard Lynch wrote: On Wed, April 6, 2005 7:04 pm, James Williams said: Hey fellas, I'm makin a forum right now and as a sub project, I'm making a template engine / class.
