[PHP] Parse error: Needs T_VARIABLE or $

2001-06-30 Thread Jason Lustig

This is really weird. Very, very, very weird. I have the following code in a
script:

if (!empty(trim($rowData[3])))
{
$tdStr.= trim($rowData[3]);
}


Now, when I run it, I get the following error:


Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$'' in
c:\server\wwwroot\contributors.php on line 70

(note: line 70 is the first liine of the code snippet above)

Now, this shouldn't be a problem. There is no problem with the parens, and I
don't see anything wrong with the code. Can someone help me out with this?
This is happening in another script (when I use the empty() function) and it
is really weird...

Why would you want to do that?

I don't think it's really possible... unless you do something wacky with

RE: [PHP] PHP Menu.

You would have to use javascript to do that... PHP is server-side, not
client-side. You could create the javascript with PHP, but the PHP can't
make the menu pop out and stuff...

RE: [PHP] PHP crashing IIS 5 on Wnidows 2K

2001-06-27 Thread Jason Lustig

Assuming that you are using the ISAPI version of PHP, it is
probably crashing
because that version of PHP is not very stable. You should upgrade
to 4.0.6
which contains improvements in that area, but it is still not
perfect. If you
find 4.0.6 unstable either change from ISAPI to CGI or if you can, change
from IIS to Apache and use the Apache module version of PHP.

OK, cool. :) I *think* I'm using the ISAPI version. Unfortunately, I don't
have much control over the server situation for this particular site...

RE: [PHP] Expand/parse variables in file

2001-06-26 Thread Jason Lustig

$a = whatever;
$b = abc $a def;
echo $b;

which results in abc whatever def ???

What am I missing?

$b = abc $a def;

That gets parsed because it's in double-quotes. Since $a is a variable, it
inputs whatever $a is, in this case Whatever. So it ends up printnig out
abc whatever def. To fix it, either escape the $a, or use single-quotes.

[PHP] PHP crashing IIS 5 on Wnidows 2K

2001-06-26 Thread Jason Lustig

I have PHP 4.04pl1 set up on a IIS 5 server on Windows 2k. However, it keeps
on crashing the server -- not all the time, but sometimes it does, sometimes
it doesn't. And I have no idea whatsoever what is causing it. I *think* that
it has to do with my include()s. I end up including all my function and nav
libraries into each and every page, which turns out to maybe 10 includes.
Theoretically, yes, it would put a hit on the server because PHP uses the
file system so much, but it shouldn't crash it.

Is this possibly the reason it is crashing?

[PHP] Connecting to a remote MSSQL database via ODBC and setting up the MSSQL extension

2001-06-24 Thread Jason Lustig

I am connecting to a remote MSSQL database from my dev box
(windows/apache/php4.06). However, my dev box doesn't have MSSQL installed
on it (or else I wouldn't have to connect remotely -- I could copy the DB
file to the comp and then use it in MSSQL, connecting locally). To use the
MSSQL extensions for PHP, I would have to have teh MSSQL libraries. What
exactly does this mean? When I uncomment the MSSQL extension in php.ini, it
still says taht I don't have the MSSQL functions (probably because I don't
have these libraries). How do I get these libraries, or is this not even the
problem?

On another note, how does one connect to a remote DB over ODBC? I've looked
at the syntax (and what varous people have told me), and nothing seems to
make sense as to where to put the host IP and where to put where the DB
name... I'm fine connecting to the same computer that the script is on, but
the syntax to remotely connect via ODBC just doesn't seem to make any sense
with me (BTW, this problem connecting over ODBC has nothing to do with my
MSSQL problem; that I can connect remotely over).

RE: [PHP] php not working

2001-06-24 Thread Jason Lustig

I've added the lines:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
to my httpd.conf file

Maybe try adding:
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php

instead of:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

It depends on how you did the Action stuff. If you did:
Action application/x-httpd-php4 /php4/php.exe

then you should use:
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php

but if you did:
Action application/x-httpd-php /php4/php.exe

then you should use:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

That might work, it might not.

RE: [PHP] Program execution functions doesn´t work in my system

2001-06-24 Thread Jason Lustig

I need to run some external programs from a PHP script.
How could I do that?

You might be able to use them through (D)COM objects, since you're on an NT
server. I'm not sure about the passthrough() functions and stuff on NT,
though... I've never really used them (or had reason to).

RE: [PHP] $PHP_SELF name space?

2001-06-24 Thread Jason Lustig

$PHP_SELF is a global variable. You're trying to call it from inside a
function, which won't work unless you declare it as global to the function
(unless you have some thing in the php.ini file set that I don't remember
off the top of my head what it's called which will make all that stuff
global anyway). You've got to do:

class xCrumbs
{
   function Render(){
   global $PHP_SELF;
   echo $PHP_SELF;
}
}
$crumbs = new xCrumbs();
$crumbs-Render();

RE: [PHP] Variable variable names...

2001-06-23 Thread Jason Lustig

There's a number of things you can do with variable variables... they're
quite powerful, I like 'em a lot. :)

Anyway, you can do


?php

$myvar2 = 'stuff';
$othervar = 2;
if (isset($myvar{$othervar}))
echo $myvar{$othervar};

?

This would output

snip

stuff

/snip

I think that's what you were asking... You've got to use the { and } around
the variables you're using to make teh variable variable.

[PHP] PEAR

I just installed PHP 4.06 on my setup, and noticed that there's a bunch of

[PHP] Is it possible to have the parameters fo a function be exited HTML?

2001-06-22 Thread Jason Lustig

Is it possible to break up the parameters of a function with ? and ?php ??

What I mean by this, for example, is this:


snip

?php

strtoupper(

?

table
tr
td
a href=http://www.php.net;php.net/a
/td
/tr
/table

?php

);

?

/snip

With this example, will it output the following HTML?


snip


TABLE
TR
TD
A HREF=HTTP://WWW.PHP.NET;PHP.NET/A
/TD
/TR
/TABLE


/snip

I know it's not a very useful use of strtoupper()... :) But I am curious
about whether it is possible to have the parameters to a function in exited
HTML. Is it possible?

[PHP] Which is more expensive: concatenation or embedding?

2001-06-22 Thread Jason Lustig

There are two ways to get your variables into a string -- concatenation with
single-quoted strings, or embedding in evaluated double-quoted strings.
Which is more expensive to the server?

For example:

?php

$x = 10;
echo This is a string and my variable \$x is $x.\n;
echo 'This is a string and my variablke $x is '.$x.\n;

?

Now, which is more expensive? Is it more expensive to concatenate them, or
to evaluate the whole string since it would be in double-quotes? I see lots
of people do things in double-quotes, but it would seem to me that
single-quoted strings concatenated with variables would be less expensive
because you are only evaluating the variables.
