Re: [PHP] does your mail() base64 encode messages?
Try mail([EMAIL PROTECTED],test script,Foo!); Thanks very much for your suggestion- It did not fix the problem but it provided a pointer to a workaround. It appears that my host base64 encodes message bodies if any sort of header- even an empty one- is supplied. This is a problem the sysadmin is looking into but for now I have to live with it. The empty header caused mail() to put a \n in between the headers and the MIME headers for the base64 encoded stuff. This in turn caused mail readers to view the message as a plain text message that happened to contain a base64 encoded string so the recipient saw gibberish. Removing the empty header resulted in a plain text message, putting a valid header in the headers parameter caused the mail to be viewed by the mail reader as a normal base64 encoded message and thus readable by the recipient. Unfortunately mail()'s habit of doing this base64 encoding precludes me from doing anything with MIME multipart messages because all the multipart separators, HTML etc become visible as plain text, but at least I can send emails containing plain text. And so to the commercial application which originally showed up this problem. Its mail code had an extra \n at the end of its headers. Removing this made it possible for it to send plain text emails, albeit base64 encoded ones, from this host. I've used this application from quite a few other customers hosts in the past so this \n is not normally a problem, but I've never used a host that exhibits this behaviour. As well as removing this \n I had to comment out the lines that sent multipart emails but at least now I'm in business. As to the problem itself, I'm none the wiser. As I see it it can only be either PHP or Sendmail that is doing this. I've never had this or any other version of PHP do this to me before but since as I understand it Sendmail is only being used as a mail relay here I cant place the blame anywhere else but a possible bug in PHP 4.3.10's mail() function. It's not a bug, it's a feature!:) I guess it's all extra experience. John W. List -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] does your mail() base64 encode messages?
I have an unexpected and perplexing problem. PHP's mail() function is base64 encoding all message bodies as an ill-formed MIME attachment resulting in the recipient seeing an uninteligable base64 encoded string. This only happens to my account with my host and neither I or the sysadmin can see why as there are no special configuration settings for me. The host is running PHP4.3.10. Here's what is happening: This code ?php mail ( [EMAIL PROTECTED], test script, Foo!, ); ? Results in this mail being recieved. (message starts here) Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] snip all the SMTP Recieved: headers for clarity/ To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: test script Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 10:33:06 + (GMT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (httpd) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Rm9vIQ== (message ends here) On every other PHP host I've used I would have expected a simple string Foo! instead of the Mime-version stuff and the base64 encoded string. I'm sure I can get round this if I have to by using one of the PHP mail classes that are out there. But I'd prefer not to as one of the pieces of software I'm using is commercial and if I alter it I'll invalidate my support for it. Has anyone else seen this problem? I'd be interested to know what's happening. John W. List -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] sessions not working when page redirects
From: Angelo Zanetti [EMAIL PROTECTED] Im having a slightly weird problem with my session variables. when on a certain page call it A, I register a session variable and assign it a value. I then test if it is registered successfully and has the correct value on the same page, that works no problem. After that page A redirects to page B: header(Location: ../admin/include/B.php); This should be a complete URL to begin with: http://www.yourdomain.com/whatever/admin/include/B.php After this I do the exact same test on page B to test for successful registration and value and I get that the session variable is not registered. on page B I do have session_start(); at the top. I even do 2 tests to on the session variable: Using IE? Try using session_write_close() right before you redirect with the header() and be sure to put exit() directly after header(). Should look like this anytime you want to redirect. session_write_close(); header(...); exit(); If that doesn't work, then pass the session ID in the URL when you redirect like someone else mentioned. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] SQL Functions
From: Dan Joseph [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In order to get all of the data back you are going to have to loop
through it and return the array so that it will be available for
manipulation.
Hmm.. I suspected this might be the case. I have modified my
functiona bit:
function selectRows( $sql )
{
$count = 0;
$results = mysql_query( $sql, DB::connect() );
while ( $data = mysql_fetch_array( $results ) )
{
foreach ( $data as $name = $value )
{
$array[$count][$name] = $value;
}
$count++;
}
return $array;
}
Change that to:
$array = array();
$results = mysql_query( $sql, DB::connect() );
while($data = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{ $array[] = $data; }
return $array;
No need to loop through $data.

Re: [PHP] PHP5 OOP
From: Joel Kitching [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello, I'm trying to get the hang of OOP here but can't quite figure
out how to relate these classes. I've got one for the main project,
one for the database, and one for a user. Somehow I need to get the
user access to the database, without cumbersome constructor calls
involving a copy of the instance of the class itself.
// main project class
class gfusion {
protected static $db;
function __construct() {
$this-db = new db;
}
}
// database class
class db {
private $link;
private $query;
private $result;
...
function query($query);
function fetch_row();
function fetch_rows();
...
}
// user class
class user {
private $id;
private $group_id;
private $login;
private $password;
/* Somehow I need to get the db class instance here. */
function __construct($id = false) {
if (is_numeric($id)) {
print_r($this);
$this-db-query('SELECT * FROM user WHERE id = ' . $id);
$user_info = $this-db-get_row();
$this-id = $user_info['id'];
$this-group_id = $user_info['group_id'];
$this-login = $user_info['login'];
$this-password = $user_info['password'];
}
}
...
}
I tried extending the user class from the project class, but that
didn't work, because the $db var was empty. I tried changing it to
static, but it didn't inherit the $db variable for some reason. So,
how can I make this work, so I can write a bunch of classes that can
blindly use $this-db or something similar without having to worry
about setting it in the constructor? I thought about setting it as a
global, but that didn't seem very... OOP.
See here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php
and note this: Note: Parent constructors are not called implicitly. In order
to run a parent constructor, a call to parent::__construct() is required.

Re: [PHP] Working with a new design client

One concern of mine is that I have a tight budget on this project and don't want to spend a lot of time learning a new system unless I have to. Smarty is one solution, but the concept you need to employ is separating your display (mainly HTML) from your business logic (the PHP classes). Make them separate files and then they only edit the templates and don't touch your PHP code. You can make them plain HTML pages and just include() them, read them and eval() them, or use any templating solution. It's going to be the best way to do this.

There's no added security by using strip_tags and you're just removing content that the user wanted to include. I guess it depends upon what this text is. If you apply htmlspecialchars() to a string that contains HTML, Javascript code, etc, the code will not be evaluated, so there is no security risk. I don't know what the purpose of the text your recieving is, but if I entered Use an img tag for that and you stripped out img, it would suck. If you just applied htmlspecialchars(), then when you redisplayed my text, either in regular HTML or in a text box, then you'd see exactly what I entered. The img text would not be evaluated as HTML and no actual image box would be shown. If you can't tell, I _hate_ the strip_tags function as it needlessly removes content and the allowable_tags gives a false sense of security. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I read about trying \r\n instead of \n in the headers, but it didn't
seem to make any difference, and \n is working on other mail actions on

The first step is to see if you can send a mail using a very basic call to
mail(), simply: mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','subject','message');
If that works, then you can move on by slowly adding the code you have
above.
Why do you have two To: headers? That'll mess things up. remove the one from
the extra headers parameter.

This is a valid solution, but it's really just easier to make them into an

loop through all of the possible checkBoxGroupX values to see which ones
were checked or get a list or count of them. Making them into an array makes

I wouldn't recommend that you recommend that to everyone. Not all databases will allow you to enter a STRING into an numeric field.

Robb Kerr wrote:
I've got a conditional button that needs to appear/hide on my page

Needless to say, the href is quite long and includes several '
characters. My conditional works great but I want to know if there is an
easy way to escape the whole href so that the ' characters will not be
seen as PHP quote marks. See below...
?php
if ($recordset['field'] != 1) {
echo 'a href=# onMouseOut=MM_swapImgRestore()
onMouseOver=MM_swapImage('PreviousPage','','/URL/ButtonName.gif',1)img
src=/URL/ButtonName.gif alt=Previous Page name=Previous Page

It looks like you're trying to echo a string that's delimited by single
quote marks, but I don't see a single quote at the end of the string.
Assuming this is what you want, though, to escape single quotes within
the string you're trying to echo, put a backslash \ character before them.
?php
if ($recordset['field'] != 1) {
echo 'a href=# onMouseOut=MM_swapImgRestore()
onMouseOver=MM_swapImage(\'PreviousPage\',\'\',\'/URL/ButtonName.gif\',1)img
src=/URL/ButtonName.gif alt=Previous Page name=Previous Page
width=150 height=20 border=0/a';
?
Alternatively, you can just use double quotes in your JavaScript
MM_swapImage() function...

How about $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']?
That _should_ contain the current query string with the values still
encoded, but I'm not sure on that. If they aren't still encoded, then
just rebuild the query string by looping through $_GET.
$url = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?';
foreach($_GET as $key = $value)
{ $url .= '' . $key . '=' . urlencode($value); }
If you have arrays within $_GET, then you'll need a recursive function,
but hopefully one of the above will work for your needs.

works great here) and pass to this regex. $matches[0] will have your
lines that start with WAZ. Example:
?php
$file = asdf asdf asdf
WAZ this is line 1
asdf asdf asdf asdf
WAZ this is another line that should be matches
fWAZ this is a line that shouldn't be matches
WAZ one more for good measure
and a bad one WAZ (whoa, who put that there!)
asdf
asdf asd fas df asdf;
preg_match_all('/^WAZ.*/m',$file,$matches);
print_r($matches[0]);

Okay... let's say you have $text that is text that was entered into a

echo nl2br(htmlentities($text));
If you want to insert $text into a database and magic_quotes_gpc is

If magic_quotes_gpc is not enabled (you can check with

If I use a third party template, will my site have a different look or is it only a parser that will take my designed template and data and combine them. I really don't know. The whole idea behind templates is to separate your business logic from your presentation logic. This means you have a script that does all of your processing and data retrieval, etc. This script is generally all PHP that performs your business logic. Then you have your template that only has code meant to control your presentation. This file is mostly HTML, generally, with some special template code or limited PHP thrown in to control presentation _only_. The idea is that changes to the presentation layer will not require changes to your business layer and vice-versa. Everyone has their own ideas on whether this is needed and what kind of templates to use. There are a ton of engines out there that you can use. Some are simple and some turn into programming languages of their own and just present another layer of failure/difficulty.

Hello all,
I am having trouble setting array data from within a MySQL results

it's own array ($data). That then is used to generate a graph. The
following code basically gives me an empty array...
I doubt the array is empty. It may not contain what you think it should,
though. Try using print_r() on $data as you run through the code so you
can see what it contains.
if ($sig1 -150) { $aval = $sig1; }
Don't put quotes around -150. As you have it right now, you're comparing
strings. If $sig1 is a number, PHP plays nice and assumes you mean
-150 instead of -150, though. Also, you don't need quotes around $sig1
at the end of the line.
if ($sig2 -150) { $bval = $sig2; } if ($bval $aval)
{$aval = bval;}
Missing a dollar sign for bval on this line, unless bval is really a
constant. Same deal with the quotes, too.
if ($sig3 -150) { $bval = $sig3; } if ($bval $aval)
{$aval = $bval;}
Same deal here with the quotes, also.
$data[] = array('$time' = '$time','$aval' = 'aval');
Variables in single quotes are not evaluated. '$val' is not the same as
$val. Either way, you don't need any quotes here (assuming you mean
$aval for the last entry.
$data[] = array($time=$time, $aval=$aval);
$aval = -999;
$aval = -999;
Again, $data has something in it so long as your query is running. It is
probably just not what you think it is.

Re: [PHP] stripslashes() when reading from the DB
Jordi Canals wrote: I usually stripslashes() when I read the info from the database (MySQL). Because the information was inserted after adding slashes, or the system has magic_quotes_gpc set to ON. I remember being taught this lesson long ago. :) You do not need to strip slashes from the data being read from the database. If you find yourself having to do that, then you're escaping the data twice before it's inserted. You more than likely have magic_quotes_gpc enabled which escapes all incoming GET, POST and COOKIE data and then you are running addslashes() yourself. You should check the magic_quotes setting with get_magic_quotes_gpc() and then determine if you need to use addslashes or mysql_real_escape_string(). -- ---John Holmes...

Re: [PHP] OO woes
Matthew Sims wrote: Your problem has nothing to do with the Objects (or really even PHP for that matter). You're not supposed to run mysql_escape_string on an entire query. So I ran my $_POST array into array_map before the injection: $_POST = array_map(mysql_escape_string,$_POST); And it all worked on nicely. That's a waste of resources when you're only using one value out of $_POST in your query. Why not just turn on magic_quotes_gpc and have the same effect? I'd recommend some actual validation methods in your class. Something to ensure $_POST'd values are really integers within a range, strings of a certain length, etc and prepare them for insertion into a query. -- ---John Holmes...

The problem is your HTML. Your result ends up like this: html body p p /body /html which is just badly formed HTML, not PHP. -- ---John Holmes...

Using a FULLTEXT index and searching in BOOLEAN mode supports the type of search strings that you wrote. Consult thine manual!! (The MySQL one) ;) -- ---John Holmes...
