I couldn't help but frown at this message...  This is typical of this and
hundreds of other lists... instead of learning the language, people just
jump in, try to write code, and then when something doesn't work, it's the
language's fault...  It absolutely amazes me that such a huge number of
people don't bother reading the manual or even attempt learning the

global variables have to be declared in functions.  It's a basic fact, and
should've been learned before even attempting a line of code...

 You can't see $PHP_SELF within a function until you declare it global.

RE: [PHP] local time v.s. server time

2001-08-25 Thread Joe Sheble \(Wizaerd\)

Thanx James for your answers...  perhaps I'm missing a piece of the puzzle,
but here is how I corrected or fixed it.

In my included file that gets included in every app and every page, I
placed:
putenv( TZ=America/Phoenix );

and all my dates are now local time.  SO saving to a mySQL database now I
merely pass in:
$now = date( Y-m-d H:i:s );
$result = mysql_query( INSERT INTO table ( datetime ) values( '$now' ),
$dbConn );

If I ever distribute this app (doubtful) I'll include a fairly extensive
listing of timezones so the putenv() could be appropriately changed...  the
list I found and would most likely include is here:

 Hi Joe,

 GMT isn't affected by daylight savings (altough in the UK we are using
 British Summer Time at the moment, which is GMT +1), so that's
 the constant
 you can work from if you're not experiencing daylight savings
 schemes where
 you are.  I have written out an example for you below.

 We get the Y-m-d H:i:s format of time using gmdate() (which Mysql likes).
 We convert that lot to a timestamp.  The function I've created takes two
 arguments: whether to add or take time from the timestamp that is
 generated,
 and the offset in hours.  So, to emulate what Mysql's now() function does,
 you can do something like this

 ?

 $now = GenerateOffset(-, 6); // takes off 6 hours.
 $query = @mysql_query(INSERT INTO table (datetime) VALUES ('$now'),
 $connection);

 ?

 And you should get correct datetime formats for your timezone into your
 table (providing you have put your correct offset from GMT).


 ?

 function GenerateOffset($plusminus, $offset) {

  $datetime = gmdate(Y-m-d H:i:s);
  list($date, $time) = explode( , $datetime);
  list($year, $month, $day) = explode(-, $date);
  list($hour, $minute, $second) = explode(:, $time);

  $timestamp = mktime($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $year, $day);

  if ($plusminus == +) {
   $newtime = $timestamp + (3600 * $offset);
  } else {
   $newtime = $timestamp - (3600 * $offset);
  }

  $newdate = date(Y-m-d H:i:s, $newtime);

  return $newdate;
 }

 ?

 Hope this helps.

RE: [PHP] class variables and methods

2001-08-19 Thread Joe Sheble \(Wizaerd\)


But when designing classes, isn't it normal to have private and public
variables or properties.  Granted my OOP experience is very limited, having
access to OOP development in CA-Visual Objects, Clipper, VB, and ASP.  But
it was normal to have a series of public properties one could access
directly and then properties that could only be access by the class itself.
Of course in VB and ASP these were defined with Get, Let and Set methods,
but you could still access them directly.  You could also design properties
that were read only as well.  Perhaps this is because of operator
overloading??

 Subject: Re: [PHP] class variables and methods


 There was a long discussion on this in a java forum I am part of, the
 product of which was basically this...

 1. All variables in a class are best left to be private (not sure PHP has
 this, but the programmer can work the principle in mind.. that is only the
 class can access them).
 2. Generic variable access/store methods should be avoided - the principle
 is that the internal variable can change name etc. without the external
 interface having to worry about it.
 3. Method to set/fetch each variable - it may seem a counter intuitive way
 of doing it, especially when it is possible to do something
 nice like the
 set method below. This seems a very un-web way.. and this is where a
 difference comes in. Web is not inherently OO, and a lot of the
 practices of
 web programmers are at conflict with more traditional apps programmers.
 Web tends to go for speed and simplicity, rather than good design etc.
 4. Some situations could theoretically arise where it is
 necessary to set an
 unknown amount of variables within a class, however it would be far more
 sensible to put these into an array.

 In summary, in good OOP you should have a method for every
 get/set operation
 on variables that is required, using arrays as appropiate.

 Going back to the original point on whether or not to access the variable
 directly or build a set function in, they are both as bad as each other,
 just about. They both access variables directly and require the outside
 program to have knowledge of variable names etc. and it doesn't allow for
 checking for correct values being set ( a useful thin with the above
 method)

 Hope this helps, let me know if I can provide any more advice.

  Joe,
  There are varying opinions on this issue.  The argument for
  methods is that it hides the internal structure of your class.  This
  is always a good thing.  This means that the internals of the class
  can be changed, but the user interface (the user is the programmer here)
  does not change.  So this alternative implementation of someclass
 
 
  class someclass

  var $data = false;
 
  function set($key,$val) {
  $this-data[$key] = $val;
  }
  }
 
  is no different the the calling code.  In general, I tend to have an
  accessor/mutator method for each 'property' that I would like to
  provide access to.  I'd have a method for each $key that I want to
  support (this may not apply in your case).
 
  class someclass

  var $name = false;
  var $age  = false;
 
  function name()

  if(func_num_args()) $this-name = func_get_arg(0);
  return $this-name;
  }
 
  function age()

  if(func_num_args()) $this-age= func_get_arg(0);
  return $this-age;
  }
  }
 
  Now, this gets a big annoying to code since the lions share of my
  classes have the name method implementations.  I've been hunting
  for a way to create methods dynamically, but I've only found one.
  To create class definitions on the fly and eval() them.  This
  works great when you've got a huge number of properties
  (class/instance vars).  I'll construct a static method on the
  class that processes examines the class vars (get_class_vars())
  and defines a class extending my implementation.   The
  sub class has the methods implemented for accessing/mutating
  the properties I'd like to have methods for.  If anyone knows
  of a means to do this to an existing class (say using create_function()
  or something), I'd love to hear about it.

[PHP] class variables and methods

I've been doing some reading up on OOP in PHP, and looking at some of the
classes available on the web, and I've got what is probably a stupid
question.  I've seen this many many times..

class someclass {
var $somevar = someval;

function set( $key, $val ) {
$this-$key = $val;
}
}

$myClass = new someclass;
$myClass-set( somevar, someotherval );

why write a set method when you can just as easily call
$myClass-somevar = someotherval;

Is there a reason for this?

Also, alot of the different table classes (an OOP approach to HTML tables)
stores the data in arrays, but at what point is it too much to store into an
array?  Say you have a forum and the text entered for a single respone could
be quite lengthy, much less for 100 replies...  wouldn't that be a bit much
to store into an array?  I know it depends on the system resources, but is
there a practical limit that people follow?

[PHP] regular expressions and mySQL

2001-08-09 Thread Joe Sheble \(Wizaerd\)



I know this would probably be better placed on the mySQL mailing list, but
alas I do not subscribe to it and am hesitant to do so to ask one question.
Enough PHP users use mySQL that perhaps the answer could be found here.

In searching through a text field in a mySQL database, I would like to
search for a keyword and return that record as a resultset, obvious no?
However, I do not want the search to return true if the search word or
phrase falls within an HTML tag contained within the text.  The field in
question will contain some basic HTML tags but I don't want them searched,
just the freeform text.

What would be the best approach?  I'm not all that well versed in regular
expressions, well let's face it, I probably couldn't put a regular
expression together if my life depended on it, and any assistance would be
greatly appreciated.

 how exactly is it that you output data retrieved from a count()

 The same way you retrieve data from any other query - SQL functions like
 count() or sum() return data in the same fashion as normal, 
 non-computed data.
 
 As an example:
   $foo = mysql_query(select count(*) from table);
   echo Number of records in table:  . mysql_result($foo, 0);

   however i want the height to scale down (ie. i dont want a really thin
   picture, i just want it to be what it would be if it were resized). i
have
   this but i cant figure out how to just scale down the width:
  
   c:\progra~1\imagem~1\mogrify.exe -geometry 175x30! picture.jpeg
  
   the '!' forces those sizes to be used but obvoiusly i dont want the
height
   to be 30. i want it to be whatever it should be so the picture doesnt
look
   flattened.
 
  I believe imagemagick has an option where you can specify a single
dimension
  (x or y) and it will set that dimension accordingly and automatically
scale
  the other dimension.  This should be covered in the manual pages or --help
  output of the program.

RE: [PHP] Which is better coding style...

2001-04-19 Thread Joe Sheble \(Wizaerd\)


egads...  it distracts me to no end to see an if-else block broken up that
way... to me seeing

if( some expression ) {
some action
} else {
some other action
}

is the most normal thing in the world.

Same goes for the { at the end of the expression, such as

for( ... ) {
}

while( ... ) {
}

function SomeFunc() {
}

That's how I've written all my C, C++, JavaScript, ColdFusion CFSCRIPT, and
now PHP.

  Definitely the second style :)
 
  (If we were talking about C(++) then the first would have even been
  forbidden by my companies coding standard as well as several coding
  standards of other companies I worked for.)
 
  The reason is this - a function has one entrypoint (duh) and one
  exitpoint. Jumping out of a function somewhere in the middle leads to
  unmaintainable code, and bugs when extending that function and that
  return is overlooked. But, as with the indenting and bracket placing, it
  is a matter of religion. They would have to torture me for three weeks
  to get me to place the brackets like you did in your example :)
 
 
  function blah()
  {
  $retval = "";
 
  switch( $bob )
  {
   case 1:
  $retval = "this";
  break;
 
  case 2:

[PHP] a different type of mail problem

2001-04-18 Thread Joe Sheble (Wizaerd)

I am using the following function to send out emails via PHP:

function SendEMail( $to, $subject, $body ) {
$additionalHeaders = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$additionalHeaders .= "Content-type: text/html; 
charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$additionalHeaders .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";
$additionalHeaders .= "Return-path:[EMAIL PROTECTED]\n";
$additionalHeaders .= "Reply-To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]\n";
$additionalHeaders .= "Sender:[EMAIL PROTECTED]\n";

mail( $to, $subject, $body, "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\n" . 
$additionalHeaders );
}

This way I get consistent headers...

However, when I actually get the emails here are the headers I get:

Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Delivery-date: Wed, 18 Apr 2001 12:49:29 -0400
Received: from nobody by artemis.jtlnet.com with local (Exim 3.20 #1)

Subject: [TCE] - Confirmation Required

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sender: Nobody [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2001 12:49:29 -0400

Notice the Sender element does not reflect what I've sent, showing Nobody 
instead.  My hosting provider states it's because their upstream demanded 
them to set it up this way to prevent spam emails...

Is this accurate?  If not, what can I tell my ISP to change how emails are 
sent out?

  In a mysql_connect() it is possible to specify a path to the socket

 Yes. [string hostname [:port] [:/path/to/socket]

It's not a question.  It is a statement prefecaing the real question, which

well then yours must be the special super duper browser that doesn't work 
the same as most browsers.  In my browsers (IE5, IE5.5, NS4.67, NS6, Opera

there are two different methods, and why POST is the reccommended 
methods.  But in your special browser, they must be reveresed because...

RE: [PHP] This PHP list

2001-03-29 Thread Joe Sheble (Wizaerd)

Typically I would never respond to this type of thread discussion, but it's 
one that gives me a great amount of frustration from time to time.  I think 
this level of frustration stems from the fact that a lot of these 'newbie' 
questions are even more basic than a PHP newbie should be asking.  Things 
that should be fairly evident to anyone who's done any level of 
development.  The problem is we get people who don't know a lick about 
programming methodologies, logicical contructs, variables,  or any general 
programming knowledge.

I would never dream of asking "How do I edit data in a database?"  Or "How 
do I display records from a database?"  These are the types of things you 
should be familiar with beforehand.  It's almost as if someone woke up one 
morning and decided Geee, I think I'll write a web application.  It 
shouldn't matter that I've never programmed anything ever before, it's the 
web, anybody could do it...'  Databases?  nah, I don't need to know 
anything about databases, I'll just write the code...'

And it's not as if this is the only available resource.  I downloaded and 
studied bits of code from everywhere when I decided to learn PHP.  I read 
every article on Zend.com and phpBuilder.com... I bought a PHP book and a 
mySQL book...  I actually took time out to 'learn' the language...  and now 
I write PHP fairly fluently... I rarely ask questions here, but keep the 
emails to pick up a tip or two.  Overall I love this list, but as I've said 
before, it is a bit frustrating as well

I was hoping that this PHP list would be of people developing with PHP, who
have reached some level of familiarity with the product and when they have
had a fair go at solving a problem, they then posted it to the list.  For
example, we have a problem in our code where the last object in an array of
objects sometimes vanishes into thin air depending on whether you
comment-out a block of unrelated code further up the script.

Unfortunately, this list is full of people with questions like "I want to
access a database with PHP. Can someone please send me the source code".

Does anyone know of any other PHP lists that are more suited to non-trivial,
expert-related discussions?

If there aren't any around, I'll start one on Yahoogroups or some other
similar service.

I wouldn't expect a programmer to walk in off the street and try to do 
graphic design without having any concept of graphic design.  I wouldn't 
expect a mechanic to walk into the kitchen and expect to build a 
souffle.  I wouldn't expect a gardner to walk in and perform brain

If somebody wants to learn how to code, then 'learn' how to do code.  Read 
tutorials, read manuals, etc...

True, but you have to remember that a lot of 'newbies' are actually superb

to do, you can't blame them for trying to meet their customer's needs.

I know this, because I am working with a number of web designers who have a
hell of a lot more experience than I do with web sites, but they don't have
the programming background. Putting the shoe on the other foot, I could mess
with Photoshop for a hundred years and never get good at designing graphics.
So I have a lot of respect for what these guys do. Personally, I think it's
a great symbiotic relationship: programmers and graphics designers. Both
creative, but in entirely different ways.

I do agree that designers with paying gigs would do better to farm out the
programming stuff to a real programmer, but that's something that they need
to learn on their own, perhaps. Meanwhile, it doesn't hurt to answer a dumb
question or two, even if the answer has to be a respectful "you don't know
how big a question that is!"

Just my opinion.

RE: [PHP] Is this possible? PHP + Javascript

2001-03-26 Thread Joe Sheble \(Wizaerd\)

in the onCLick event of the checkbox call a javascript function.  In that
function use a window.open() method to open aother browser window, using the
open() methods various properties to control how that browser window looks
and feels.  For the URL for that browser window, make it a PHP script
passing an ID.  That script would run against the server and database,
returning the results in whatever HTML format you include in that browser
window.  Works similiar to a popup but allows you to run a dynamic script
instead of loading up on javascript arrays or variables when the page loads.

 Only after an event happened, like onClick, I display the relevant

 I don't if this can work for your problem. But the idea basically is
 download everything first from server side, and display what is necessary

parent directory.  In this subdirectory, I don't want anything appended or 
prepended to my php scripts.  SO what I always end up doing is creating a 
new .htaccess file in this subdirectory and create and empty file and use 
this filename and path in that new .htaccess file.

Over all, it's a bit of a PITA...  so is there a way to override the 
auto_append and auto_prepend from an .htaccess file in a parent directory 
without having to go through all this every time I create a new directory?

Re: [PHP] include virtual, file or exec cgi?

2001-03-21 Thread Joe Sheble (Wizaerd)

virtual (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
Perform an Apache sub-request
int virtual (string filename)
Virtual() is an Apache-specific function which is equivalent to !–#include 
virtual...– in mod_include. It performs an
Apache sub-request. It is useful for including CGI scripts or .shtml files, 
or anything else that you would parse through
Apache. Note that for a CGI script, the script must generate valid CGI 
headers. At the minimum that means it must
generate a Content-type header. For PHP files, you need to use include() or 
require(); virtual() cannot be used to
include a document which is itself a PHP file.

so... what you're saying is that I can't have a PHP file #--include--'ed

I can have included C and Perl stuff but not PHP?

Re: [PHP] get filename?

2001-03-20 Thread Joe Sheble (Wizaerd)

excuse my ignorance here, but is this a configurable options?  Anytime I 
use $PHP_SELF, it strictly the directory and filename..

for example say I have a forum running at 
www.somedomain.com/forum/index?Message=12

my $PHP_SELF strictly gives me /forum/index.php.  I know this for a fact 
because I use a hybrid of the CF coding style of fusebox, and all my form 
actions are set to $PHP_SELF and the $QUERY_STRING info is never appended 
to it...

What they've got now is completely fine - why necessarily change it?

As you've stated, there are many reasons why changing would be a good

(whom I often refer to as FDH for f*ckin d*ck head) saying we'll get right 
on it...


OK OK - I know many of the reasons why, but moving to another platform,
you will most likely 'lose' that 'advanced authentication'.  Oo.

To gain the flexibility and stability of PHP on Linux/Apache, everyone in
the company will have to learn to remember their name and password.
If management thinks that's too difficult for people (a distinct possibilty,
especially if you have thousands of people) you'll be better off staying where
you
are.  You could go CGI PHP on NT, which might be a compromise,
but you lose the raw speed advantage PHP as an Apache module has.

Yes, the company has deemed this to be too difficult for our employees to 
remember.


What about security on a machine?  Last intranet I was at in a large company,
just because we were logged into the network on a machine didn't give us
automatic access to the intranet - people moved around too much.  You still
needed to present your name and password for the intranet - and everything
there
was NT/IIS/ASP and ColdFusion.


Nope, there is no other security other than the Advanced 
Authentication.  The security is not tied to any specific machine but a 
network login.  So as soon as they login to any machine, their username and 
password is automatically passed to the browser and the advanced 
authentication takes place.  Now this if they access the intranet 
internally through our network.  There is also a basic authentication piece 
to access the intranet externally through the internet but requires a 
domain name, username and password.  The management feels this is 
acceptable because there are very few (VERY few) people accessing the 
intranet this way.




"Joe Sheble (Wizaerd)" wrote:

  We've been tossing around the idea of switching our Intranet to Linux,
  Apache and PHP but we would then lose that Advanced Atuthentication

  intranet internally through the network (a combination of Novell and NT)
  nobody should be forced to login (it being an automatic process) but if
  they access the intranet externally though the internet they have to be
  prompted for their normal network login information.
 
  Are my managers smoking crack, or do the advanced developers here think
  this is do-able?  And if so, where could I find more information on setting

[PHP] 2 questions about performance...

2001-03-06 Thread Joe Sheble \(Wizaerd\)

Is it in-efficient to use shuffle()?  I have a simple 6 element array with 6
strings (URLs to images) and I'm using shuffle() to display all of them in
random order upon each page load.  The images take a long time (of course is
relative, it's mere seconds) but when I remove the call to shuffle, they
appear much much faster...

Also, is there an efficient number or limit of queries one should call in a
singular PHP page?  On average, I'll make 7-10 seperate queries to display a
page (a graphics related portal and content management system)...  I have a
singular database connection (with mysql_pconnect()) and use that same
connection throughout the script.  Sometimes it appears to load quickly,
than other times it doesn't, and I'm afraid that as more and more content
get put into the databases, the slower it will perform.

user authentication
navigation (link definitions)
form dropdowns (dynamic selects)
banner rotation (2 sets, big and small)

files?

On the same note, is there a practical limit to how much code should be used

Re: [PHP] Variable stores incomplete values...

2001-02-19 Thread Joe Sheble (Wizaerd)


Your question encompasses two parts...  the subject says these variables 
are storing incomplete values and later in the email you state mySQL isn't 
maintaining the formatting of your data.

The first part is possible because your mySQL database field may not be 
declared big enough to actually hold the data.  AFAIK there is no limit on 
actual variable size, as long as the server has enough memory, it should be 
fine.

Your second question about formatting... well the answer is the formatting 
is most likely in the database, but when you retrieve it and siaplay it 
ina  browser, well the browser doesn't understand anything other than 
HTML.  So carriage returns, line feeds, tabs, etc... never get 
displayed.  If you want the formatting to be kept in the browser, convert 
the data.  A good starting place is nl2br()

  It doesn't bring up the same kind of format like it

  Is there any way I can get the same output like I

Use http://php.net/addslashes maybe...
If it's varchar(XX) and your string is longer than XX, you will lose the end
of the string.
If you're not sure how long it might be, just use TEXT in MySQL.

Re: [PHP] display mor than one result.

2001-02-16 Thread Joe Sheble (Wizaerd)

you're looping through the all database records, assigning the values to 
variables, but then you never output the variables until after you exit 
your while() loop.  This is incorrect.  Time to read up on database 
handling in PHP...

// psuedo-code

$queryResults = mysql_query( $query, $db );
while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $queryResults )) {
 $someVar1 = $row["FieldOne"];
 $someVar2 = $row["FieldTwo"];
 $someVar3 = $row["FieldThree"];

 print( $someVar1 . " - " . $someVar2 . " - " . someVar3 . "BR" );
}

RE: [PHP] MySQL COUNT Won't Work

2001-02-16 Thread Joe Sheble (Wizaerd)

I do lots and lots of count()'s in PHP and have never had any problems... 
of course, I do it a bit differently than you did..

// I always have these in a top level include
$UserName = "noneYa";
$Password = "yeahRight";
$myDatabase = "uhhuh";

$dbConn = mysql_connect( "localhost", $UserName, $Password ) or die( 
"Cannot Connect To Database Server" );
mysql_select_db( $myDatabase ) or die( "Unable To Connect To Database: " . 
$myDatabase );
// up to here

// then I always make sure the file is included at the top of my page, and 
then call this query like this...
$qQuery = "SELECT Count(*) as nTotal FROM someDB";
$rQuery = mysql_query( $qQuery, $dbConn );
$qrQuery = mysql_fetch_array( $rQuery );
print( $qrQuery["nTotal"] );

RE: [PHP] input type=file

2001-02-16 Thread Joe Sheble (Wizaerd)

to put it simply, you can't...

but you could put an input type of text with a link or a button next to it
manually, and then on the onClick of either this button or link open a
secondary window running a PHP script that reads a particular directory
structure with full navigation support.  Then when the user clicks a
filename, place that into the input in the first window and close the
secondary window.

However, this would require JavaScript and a full recursive directory
browser script in PHP.  I have something similiar to this in a content
manager script I've written, but it doesn't check other directories.  It
picks an image from an /ImageLibrary/ directory, allowing the user to
preview an image, upload new images, delete images, rename images, but most
importantly pick a filename.  Then it populates a field in the content
manager screen for saving to a database.

that would be one option...   however, if you're going to let them navigate

[PHP] OOP in web development

2001-02-13 Thread Joe Sheble (Wizaerd)

I've been using PHP for over a year now and have been successfully running 
three different websites developed with PHP, but I've never done anything 
with classes or objects.  Even when returning data from a mySQL database, I 
use mysql_fetch_array() instead of mysql_fetch_object().

What am I missing by not using objects and classes, other than 
reusability?  What are the real benefits to using OOPs in PHP?

problem solved by building modular INC (or include) file...  all the vars

[PHP] RegEx and URLs

Either I missed the answer on the mailing list, or it was accidentally 
skipped, so I'll re-ask...

I have a bit of text ( a TEXT field in mySQL ) and there may or may not be 
URLs in this text.  (These URLs are defined as anything starting with 
http://, mailto:, or www.).  Some of these URLs may or may not be already 
contained with an HTML A HREF tag.  I need a regular expression that'll 
find these URLs and convert them to valid A HREF tags while leaving those 
URLs that are already in appropriate tags alone.

Can anybody offer any assitance on this?  I'm afraid I'm a bit weak in the 
regex areas

to:

$cVar = $qrNews[$cContentField . "Text"];
eval( $cVar );

SO basically I removed the addslashes() (which I thought were necessary
since the code snippet had quotes in them) and the ? and ? from the eval
funciton call, and it works as expected

 Subject: confused about eval()


 I have searched the archives, php.net and zend.com, and cannot
 seem to come up with an answer as to why this isn't woking...

 I have the following code snippet stored in a database, and I'm
 trying to eval it with this line of code:

 $cVar = addslashes( $qrNews[$cContentField . "Text"] );
 eval( "? " . $cVar . " ?" );

 I've tried:
 eval( $cVar . " ?" );
 eval( "? " . $cVar  );

 and I cannot get the code snippet to actually evaluate... here's
 the output I actually do get:

 TCE's Canvas Chat (Java Applet)
 if( !( $myFile =
en( 
 \"http://wizaerd.com/cgi-sys/mchat.cgi?channel=wizaerd.com\", 
 \"r\" ))) { print( \"Cannot be opened\" ); exit; } while( !feof( 
 $myFile )) { $myLine = fgets( $myFile, 255 ); print( $myLine . \"
 \" ); } fclose( $myFile ); 
 Parse error: parse error in Unknown on line 0
 
 the code in the database is correct cuz I can drop it into a PHP 
 page and it runs as expected...
 
 Could somebody give me a hand with this?
 Thanx
 
 
 --- code as is in database ---
 if( !( $myFile = fopen( 
"http://wizaerd.com/cgi-sys/mchat.cgi?channel=wizaerd.com", "r" ))) {
print( "Cannot be opened" );
exit;
}

while( !feof( $myFile )) {
$myLine = fgets( $myFile, 255 );
print( $myLine . "BR" );  
}

fclose( $myFile );

RE: [PHP] LOOKING FOR CODE LOCATION IN PHP SOURCE....

I don't believe this is a PHP function, but rather a function of the browser
if using the INPUT TYPE="file"

 Subject: [PHP] LOOKING FOR CODE LOCATION IN PHP SOURCE


 Hey all, I've come to the realization that if I intend to be able
 to write
 a file to disk AS it's being uploaded via http, I will need to modify the
 PHP source directly. Just wondering, anyone know in what source file I
 should be looking for the HTTP UPLOAD handling code, I've looked through
 quite a few files in the /ext/standard source directory, to no avail yet.
 Thank you in advance to any and all for your help

 Is it possible to move through an array that is returned as a recordset
 and then move back to the beginning of the array.

RE: [PHP] functions????

2001-01-27 Thread Joe Sheble (Wizaerd)

your function declarations must appear before you actually call them.

 code
 ...
 ?
 function pf() { echo "profile"; }
 
 function pal_edit() { echo "pal";  }

 switch ($action) {
 case "pf":
 profile();
 break;
 
 case "pal":
pal_edit();
 break;
 
 }
 
 
 
 ?

RE: [PHP] strange PHP/MySQL problem

Is it possible that the name field isn't lon enough to contain the full
value so is being truncated whereas the description field is long enough...

 Subject: [PHP] strange PHP/MySQL problem


 if you goto
 http://downloads.moddingcentral.com/add.php
 you will see a simple form

 this form takes the info and a PHP script processes it and places
 it into a
 mysql table. now the problem

 if i put Cynical Saint's Video Tutorial in the name it will display
 Cynical Saint\ in the dbase (also seen @ downloads.moddingcentral.com)

 but if you place it in the description it is fine..

 here is my sql query

 $rst = mysql_query("INSERT INTO tablename(id, game, section, name, size,
 description, dllink, creator, creatoremail, date, website, score,
 downloads)
 VALUES ('$id', '$game', '$section', '$modname', '$size', '$description',
 '$dllink', '$creator', '$creatoremail', now(), '$website', '0',
 '0') ") or
 die(mysql_error());

 Whats wrong with this?
 its driving me nuts!

 - Thanks
