Thanks rich,
That uses simpleXML. I am using xml_parse_create.
Any ideas for xml_parse_create? I really like the way this function
puts everything into an array that I can traverse. I only need it
to put
the attribute values in the array for the corresponding node and I

Thanks Bastien!
That worked very well. I now see the attributes. However it does not
load the root node?
I am going to need that node to display too. Any thoughts as to why it
is not showing?
I just copied and pasted your code. I'm going to look at some docs to
see if I can find out why,
but if you know, please let me know your solution. Thanks again.

This will never work. Your last array will always overwrite your
previous
array.
Here is how I would suggest building it:
$items = array(
1 = array(
serviceid = 1,
servicename= signature required,
price = $4.95
),
15 = array(
serviceid = 15,
servicename = return receipt,
price = $2.30
)
)
This will ensure that your first level indexes never overwrite
themselves.
But, with that change made, then do this:
foreach ( $items AS $item ) {
if ( array_key_exists('price', $item) ) {
echo $item['price'];
} else {
echo 'Item does not have a price set';
}
}

Something appears to be amiss, as your array couldn't contain multiple
items with the specialservice key (I'm assuming the second key
'secialservice' is just a typo), as any subsequent assignments would
overwrite the previous value.

This is my attempt to convert. I thought of setting up a blank array
then filling that array with the specialservice arrays
$data = strstr($result, '?');
// echo '!-- '. $data. ' --'; // Uncomment to show XML in comments
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser,XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING,

xml_parse_into_struct($xml_parser, $result, $vals, $index);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
$params = array();
$level = array();
foreach ($vals as $xml_elem) {
if ($xml_elem['type'] == 'open') {
if (array_key_exists('attributes',$xml_elem)) {
list($level[$xml_elem['level']],$extra) =
array_values($xml_elem['attributes']);
} else {
$level[$xml_elem['level']] = $xml_elem['tag'];
}
}
if ($xml_elem['type'] == 'complete') {
$start_level = 1;
$php_stmt = '$params';
while($start_level $xml_elem['level']) {
$php_stmt .= '[$level['.$start_level.']]';
$start_level++;
}
$php_stmt .= '[$xml_elem[\'tag\']] = $xml_elem[\'value\'];';
eval($php_stmt);
}
}
... then trying to pull data from the results of the $php_stmt
$sid = array();
$numserv = count($params['RATEV4RESPONSE'][''.$p.$ack.''][$cId]
['SPECIALSERVICES']);
if($numserv 0) {
foreach($params['RATEV4RESPONSE'][''.$p.$ack.''][$cId]
['SPECIALSERVICES']['SPECIALSERVICE'] as $sp_servs) {

These sound much more like business operating questions than programming questions, per se. I think it really depends a lot on what other businesses in the same niche as yours do, or if you can find out. Once you have figured out the business practices, coding them should be easier, I'd say, but doing it the other way 'round seems like would lead to confusion. Some questions from a really non-business person: 1. Why are you offering discounts at all? What do you hope to accomplish by offering discounts? 2. Who qualifies for which discounts and why? 3. Do discounts apply to just the base merchandise, or the whole end piece, with whatever customisations it might have, and if so or if not, why? 4. Are there different discount rates applied to base merchandise and subsequent customisations, and if so, why? 5. Is there any reason to make this complicated, or instead just offer a flat rate discount on final price, before taxes and SH? My appologies if this is an OT thread. I was in the midst of coding these things when I asked it. Yes, it is a little confusing. This is a small t-shirt company a friend and I are putting together. I have thought out most of the business logic for the company and the website. The only thing I guess I forgot to plan in was these discounts and how to apply them. I currently have discounts per item and per the cart. The discounts are set up to apply on birthdays and added by admins for discounting items to clear inventory. The cart discounts are set to apply at a certain interval of purchase amounts. For eg. (and im really just throwing numbers) if someone buys $1,000 worth of merch, they are sent a 50% off your cart discount to their email. I guess the question was more how to apply the discounts to the cart. Discount item + miscellaneous or just item. Discount cart or cart + shipping + handling. I was also asking if anyone had or knew of a sample script I could pick apart. That was probably the programing part of the question. But thank you guys for taking the time to answer.

[PHP] User Timezone
Hello all, Happy weekend. Hoping you can help me with an age old question. I am trying to get a users timezone for a purchase online. I know that php is not really able to get a timzone of a user because its a server side execution with the date functions. But I wanted to get a little help on my work around. I am hoping someone can help. TIA I have a form that a user must fill out in order to purchase anything. On this form they are required to put their city, state, country and zip code. These are all required fields. Now, I know there is a way to get a timezone offset if you have a location to offset. So is there a way based on the fields provided that I can get that offset for each user? (The users have to put a correct city, state, country and zip in order to get there purchase. This address has to match their paypal or cc address in order to purchase as well. So I know there will still be a margin of error with user manipulated info. So that is moot point for now.) My thoughts are to get a timezone offset based on the country and zip code, with a backup check of city state country zip. I just don't know where to start looking for how to get the timezone or UTC location based on country and zip or city state country zip. Any help is appreciated.

Since you specifically mentioned you want to find it by state, it means you're mainly focussing on the USA (barely any other country even bothers with states). Apart from the above data, I'm sure you can find more on google. Good luck. - Tul Thanks for the response.

[PHP] define()
Quick question phprz. Is it ok to put a token inside a define()
statement?
IE:
define('TOKEN', $sometoken);
I guess what I am really after is if this can be read by a hacker?
I may be misguided as to what define()'s parameters are.
Once you define something it becomes a server variable?
And server variables are easy to read/get ?
If it is unsafe, what is the best method of storing/using a token so
that it can be called at will?
Kind of like a global, just more secure. Can you secure a define
statement?
TIA,

I don't think you understand what define does, or what a constant is.
The define function literally defines a constant. That is, it
creates a constant in your script.
A constant isn't a server variable, it's not some kind of special
global whatever.
A constant is a kind of variable, but which is constant; that is, it
can not change value once set. Constants in PHP look like variables,
only without the preceding $-mark. They are not inherently safer or
better than normal variables.
Now, the question we would all like to pose is: what are you trying
to do?. You say you're looking for the best method of storing/using
a token to be called at will. Then of course a good question would
be what do you mean by 'token'? and what do you want to do with
that 'token'? Why is that 'token' so important to you?
Thanks for the reply. I had a feeling I was off-track.
I am using the token for a paypal verification. Paypals PDT.
Would like to know how to store safely in my config file to use in my
scripts.

not

Never mind, it's because January 1st is not a Saturday.
The 7th is.
Interesting... so it corrects the date per the text representation of
the day??

Re: [PHP] Converting date string to unix timestamp
Oh,.. no it works just fine.
I wrote Saturday myself not looking to see if it was actually the 1st.
My fault for a non-existent date.
Thanks for your help though, looks like that did the trick.
On another note, just curious why I keep getting your responses, but
don't get the emails that I post.
Anyone else having trouble with the list like that?

Just one question, why does it echo the 7th and not the 1st?
I see that... Figuring their is a logical reason...
Ah!
The first Saturday in the month of January this year WAS the 7th.
The 1st was on a Sunday. I would say that your date picker has
issues.
Should be
20120101T162000Z

not

So $email and $reply are loosing their value/scope
But the .CO_NAME. and .BOUNCE_ADDR. are working!?!?
This is also in a page with many other email functions just like this
one and they work.
Only difference is the $To and $from are not inside an if() { statement.
How did my variables loose scope???
One other note, if I put..
$To = htmlspecialchars($fullname. .$email.);
then $To is correct when I trace..
$To = John Doe j...@email.com ;
but it wont send because the smtp mail will not send to
$To = John Doe lt;j...@email.comgt;
I MUST be doing something wrong.
Also, I did read about using Name em...@email.com but the other
email functions work fine with those, so I'm not sure what's going on.

I can't read through all that crap, but I notice multiple times
that you
use undefined variables, due to typo or just not remembering what
they are.
You pass in $subjField but later try and use $subjectField. You
pass in
$e_cc but try and use $_email_cc, etc, etc, etc...
Develop with:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
This will tell you about all of those undefined variables.

[PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] PHP EOL
@Stuart
Ah, then you are right that they were not compliant. The code is not
that old.
Thank you so much for the links and information too. Much more than I
expected.
I did not know that they were sent OS-Independent, but that makes
perfect sense.
Again, please excuse my lack of understanding.
My thought on why I would still use the code was that even though the
SMTP server
would not be OS specific, the email program or browser would be and
that it would format
for the user depending on that program/browser and the OS it runs on.
IE: Thunderbird on PC or Mac Mail; viewing yahoo on Safari Mac or IE
on PC.
Technically speaking, is it not possible to determine with a if {} to
see which catches?
This is probably not the best way to go about formating, just more
for my intuit.
With that code, I did not get any bounce backs or messages pertaining
to ill formatting or no send no show.
So it didn't seem to be a bad code. Thus I continued use.
But like what was said earlier in the thread, I agree PHP_EOL would
be the best fit.
Thank you for all your input, help and resources.
Best,
Karl

RFC821: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, dated August 1982 (
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc821.html)
RFC822: Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text Messages,
dated August
13, 1982 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html)
So, unless you started using that code before PHP was created (1995
if we go
back as far as PHP/FI) then no, RFC822 predates that snippet of code.
Further, RFC821 defines the end of lines as CRLF, so the creator of
that
code was not RFC821 compliant if it was being used to send commands
to an
SMTP server.
From RFC821, MAIL FROM command definition: MAIL SP FROM:reverse-
path
CRLF
From RFC822, general header field definition: field = field-name : [
field-body ] CRLF
Note the CRLF at the end of both definitions.
Now, technically speaking the body of email messages can use any line
endings they want to, but the headers should use CRLF, and commands
sent to
servers should also use CRLF.
One final thing for you to consider... what we've been talking
about is
commands and messages being sent to other computers, so what good
does it do
to send them in a format that's dependent on the OS of the sending
machine?
The standards exist so they are OS-independant, because you usually
cannot
tell what OS the computer you're talking to is running.

Hello All,
Happy pre independence for my American PHPers. And good health to
all
others.
Have a quick question..
I have this code I use for the end of line characters used in my
mailers.
[Code]
// Is the OS Windows or Mac or Linux
if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,5)**=='WIN')) {
$eol=\r\n;
} else if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,5)**=='MAC')) {
$eol=\r;
} else {
$eol=\n;
}
[End Code]
Does this suffice or should I be using the php supplied end of line?
$eol=PHP_EOL;
Or do these do the same thing?
What advantages over the code I use does the PHP_EOL have?
Or does it not matter with these and either are good to go?
It seems to me that they do the same thing.. am I on the right
track or
missing something?
Is there any other OS's that are not WIN or MAC and use the \r
or \r\n
?
If their are, then I can see an advantage of using the PHP_EOL.
Like I said, just a quick question. ;)
When you say mailers are you talking about emails? If so then
you should
be using \r\n at all times since that's what numerous email-
related RFCs
specify. If you use anything else then you may find your email
gets rejected
by strictly implemented mail servers (rare these days, but it
happens).
Incidentally, CR only applies to Mac OS9 and earlier. OSX uses LF
due to its
BSD roots. For a near-complete list, see Representations here:

You've checked that every single email it has ever sent has been
received
correctly at the destination mailbox? The internet is built on
RFCs, and
their general principle is be strict in what you send and liberal
in what
you accept - if it wasn't like that the internet would fall apart. I
encourage you to do your part to do things right, but it's
completely up to
you if you don't want to follow the users' manual.

When you say mailers are you talking about emails? If so then you
should
be using \r\n at all times since that's what numerous email-
related
RFCs
specify. If you use anything else then you may find your email gets
rejected
by strictly implemented mail servers (rare these days, but it
happens).
Incidentally, CR only applies to Mac OS9 and earlier. OSX uses
LF due to

[PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] Regex for telephone numbers
Hi Ethan,
Could you do a string compare and check at certain characters for a
dash?
IE:
check the second character to see if it is a dash for 1-800...
if that is not a dash, check the fourth character for a dash, 469-9...
then the other places where dashes would be based on those two
characters.
You may have to investigate how international numbers would work and
adjust appropriately, but for the US, that should work.
Then just send an error message when it isn't like you want.

yes, there are a few options, fopen wrappers, curl or raw sockets
all come to mind. fopen wrappers sound like they may be easiest
for you.
Any examples or urls to make a fopen wrapper? Or is there a simple
function for getting the source text from a URL?
Thats all I really need, if I can get html.../html in text, I'm
good!
From that point I can insert the text into a hidden form field and
grab the text via javascript if need be (but very hackish) or with php.
I think that may be a solution, if I assign an include statement or
echo of the url inside a hidden form field.
A hidden form field will force the text to be saved and not parsed. I
think.
I think the problem I'm having is that the domain I'm requesting
from is not the same domain as mine so their may be some security
issue.
right, this is why you would setup a server side proxy, to avoid
client side cross domain security restrictions, however you'll have
to change all the instances of the remote domain to your domain,
and ensure that your server actually is able to fulfill requests
for those resources.
Server side proxy.. I have heard of this, but do not know exactly
what a proxy does to know if it would be a solution.
I also have not seen one in action nor made one (that I know of), any
beginner tuts you can lend?
I also thought about injecting a link tag into the iframe at the
same time I load the HTML.
when you say link tag are you talking about a tags? you lost me
on this last line here.
IE: [code]
Get the text from their source, something like:
$htmlTextresult = html
head
link href=css/fromtheirsite.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css
media=all /
/head
body
... their content
/body
/html
then do a string replace on the link tag..
$newTextresult = str_replace($htmlTextresult, 'link href=css/
fromtheirsite.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css media=all /',
'link href=css/frommysite.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css
media=all /');
or
$newTextresult = str_replace($htmlTextresult, 'css/
fromtheirsite.css', 'css/frommysite.css');
insert new text into the iframe..
$newTextresult = html
head
link href=css/frommysite.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css
media=all /
/head
body
... their content/ my style :)
/body
/html
Or is there a way to strip the text that is in the head , body
and script tags?
I could then insert those into a blank html file?
Browsers load the last style sheet on top of others.
this is true, but i doubt you'll be able to have it load a css file
from your domain atop a css file from a remote domain.
Well contrary, I think, only because all css tuts I found warned
about using the !important in your css as it would override an
external css.
Imported css has the least priority out of all and their css is
imported, maybe if I wrote the css as a style inline within the
text I received from the source?
I know that would work as far as my css beating out theirs. And the
idea is to get the source and replace the text that points to their
css (the link tag) with mine before its parsed.
If I could just get the link tag into the iframes contents right
after I get the source text in there, it may work. But there is
also the issue of correctly assigning the classes and I'd that are
used in the iframe. Like
iframe.holder .someclassusedbythem {}
Or do I do?
iframe#holder .someclassusedbythem {}
Or
#holder .someclassusedbythem {}
Sorry if I'm OT with that.
shrug, no worries, but im too lazy to dig into the details of
client side options. :)
Hey thanks for your help Nathan. I was starting to think I needed to
scrap.

sounds to me like OP is building the page which will have the iframe

almost prefer server side as that allows masking of the origin making
overriding css values easier afaict.
I am building a website for a tshirt company that uses another
company to get garments and promo items to print on.
The client wants to just have those pages load on top of their
website, but wants the layout to go with their look and feel. their
css.
We have the go ahead from the other companies to do so as well.
Karl,
this could be done server or client side, however the trouble is
altering the css for every page inside the iframe could be a real
pain. basically what you could do is act as a proxy, each 'page' from
the original site should be 'made a page' on your site. basically
youll have to change anchor tag href attributes so each request that
would go back to the original site goes through your site first. that
way youll have the chance to change the result before handing it back
to the client. also youll obviously need to change the url to css
file(s) per your primary requirement. if you do as i suggested above
and make the remote site appear as being served from your domain, you
should be able to get away w/ using a css file served from your domain
as well.
as one of my college professors used to say however, the devil is in
the details, mwahaha. i would recommend initially experimening to see
if you can use w/e look feel customizations the remote site offers
to determine if embedding in the iframe w/o any proxy effort is
possible.

[PHP] include html
Hello, I am looking for a solution to inject some dynamic html into an iframe and rework the css from the results. Is there a way to do this in PHP? I am not talking about just using the src attribute of the iframe either. Basically, I want to call on a web page, grab the html code, replace the link tag with my own and insert it into an iframe on my page. I am sure this is not as complicated as I am making it, but I have been trying with Ajax for the past couple of days and no luck. So I was wondering if there was a php alternative to do this with. Or if it is even possible or ok to do so. I am building a website for a tshirt company that uses another company to get garments and promo items to print on.

I tried that, but it did not work.
I do not want it to strip all tags, just the a href=/a. so if

There is more text than just what I posted.
This is what I am trying currently.
This is someones code from a forum that I am trying to adopt.
//CODE start
function strip_only($str, $tags) { // Thanks Steve
if(!is_array($tags)) {
$tags = (strpos($str, '') !== false ? explode('',
str_replace('', '', $tags)) : array($tags));
if(end($tags) == '') array_pop($tags);
}
foreach($tags as $tag) $str = preg_replace('#/?'.$tag.'[^]
*#is', '', $str);
return $str;
}
$str = 'p style=text-align:centerParagraph/pstrongBold/
strongbr/span style=color:redRed/spanh1Header/h1';
echo strip_only($str, array('p', 'h1'));
echo strip_only($str, 'ph1');
//CODE end
I was using it like so.
$text = strip_only($text, array('a'));
or
$text = strip_only($text, 'a');
But got my results back like:
'You can logon here: href=http://website.com/shop/

Hi Ash,
I tried that, but it did not work.
I do not want it to strip all tags, just the a href=/a. so if
there was a p or br /. I don't want those removed.
There is more text than just what I posted.
This is what I am trying currently.
This is someones code from a forum that I am trying to adopt.
//CODE start
function strip_only($str, $tags) { // Thanks Steve
if(!is_array($tags)) {
$tags = (strpos($str, '') !== false ? explode('',
str_replace('', '', $tags)) : array($tags));
if(end($tags) == '') array_pop($tags);
}
foreach($tags as $tag) $str = preg_replace('#/?'.$tag.'[^]
*#is', '', $str);
return $str;
}
$str = 'p style=text-align:centerParagraph/pstrongBold/
strongbr/span style=color:redRed/spanh1Header/h1';
echo strip_only($str, array('p', 'h1'));
echo strip_only($str, 'ph1');
//CODE end
I was using it like so.
$text = strip_only($text, array('a'));
or
$text = strip_only($text, 'a');
But got my results back like:
'You can logon here: href=http://website.com/shop/
index.php?username='.$username.'http://website.com/shop/index.php?

Look at the second argument to strip_tags() which allows you to
specify a list of allowable tags. It will do what you want, you
just need to look at the manual.
Thanks,
Ash
http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
I did and it seemed like the long way around.
I dont need/want to set all the tags that are allowed.
I just need to set the one that isnt.
But thank you, I will take another look at strip_tags().

Even if the PHP code you're executing is through localhost, because PHP needs the server to run, it has to be run on the server, and exposing functions directly like this would expose all sorts of security issues (imagine calling up a getUserDetails() on a website you're not logged into for example, which would mean every function of a system would need some sort of user auth check and would slow the whole thing to a crawl) Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk I see.

Thanks, Karl: As others have answered, no php doesn't work that way. However, you can still send/receive strings through a url via a $_GET) and direct the actions of a receiving php script and you can do the same thing via a $_POST. As such, a php:someFunction() could be a: url?php=someFunction Where the receiving script takes the command and runs someFunction(). However, I would shorten it a bit and say url?php=18 Where php would be the command to run a function and 18 would be the function you want to run. So, while you can't use the same syntax as javascript, you can get the same performance.

You don't look for one, that's the point. The explode() breaks the
string into an array at every occurrence of a '/' character. This
will leave zero length strings in the array if there is a double //
(which wasn't in any given example in this thread that I saw) When
you use the array, just don't do anything with empty elements!

Re: [PHP] Battle of Spam
Well you coud do just that but after you turn it back on. Set up a fresh error log based on the reset of the mail server. You then have some kind of script monitoring the in and out of your server. Disconnecting the mail server momentarily and maybe a pass reset for your users would stunt the hacker for a second, but would help you set up a line if defense before they found a way back in. I am not a sysad myself, but that seems like a logical way about it. If you let your users know ahead of time that this server and pass reset is to save their server from attack, most will ablige. Also let them know to not use the same password. There may be a better solution though that I don't know of. I'll let the gurus interject. :) Hth Karl Sent from losPhone On Jun 7, 2010, at 4:34 PM, Brian Dunning br...@briandunning.com wrote: I think I must have misstated the problem. Thanks to everyone for the replies, but the question is not how to fix it, it's how to find the script being attacked. Many different admins manage many different sites on this server, and I can't even begin to guess how many mail forms are on there from different programmers. I'm currently downloading the logs as Peter suggested, and will take a look. I'm not much of a sysad and I just thought maybe someone might know a way to sniff outgoing email or something, I really don't know how to attack this.

So your code looks like this?
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result3))
{
echo tr;
echo td . $row['name'] . /td;
echo td . $row['type'] . /td;
echo td . $row['startdate'] . /td;
if (!empty($row['EndDate'])) { //This should probably be $row
['enddate']
echo td . $row['enddate'] . /td;
}
echo td . $row['location'] . /td;
echo td . $row['summary'] . /td;
echo td . $row['description'] . /td;
echo /tr;
}
Not to mention, you have a $row['EndDate'] and a $row['enddate'].
Probably need to choose one or the other.
HTH,

The users will have gone through a registration and login to get to the downloads. The files will be served from MySQL and output to HTML of Flash. This is for a small project of limited edition audio or pictures or scripts, etc. Hens, I'd like to limit each user in the allotted 150 to be able to download (whatever it is) only once.

The consensus I have been getting is that there really is no way to block this type of activity, BUT you can make it difficult enough to deter most attempts.

Yeah. Don't be concerned about which browser. Just set up an active users table in your database that gets checked at login. Then it doesn't matter which machine or browser. Unless you know that the computers are giving the true ip, there is no way to keep a user from logging in with two account on the same computer.

Hi J, Well, if you have an active users table with a users name in it and you check when logging in to see if that users name is in that table, They can not log in again. No matter what machine or browser they are in. As far as another user logging in on that same machine, you could match a cookie on the machine and the database that holds what browser they are using and username, an MD5 ip, etc. But someone can always delete cookies and some even know how to bounce ip addresses, so unless you have a bunch of hackers using your machines, these suggestions should work.

Re: [PHP] GD - import a PNG image and make transparant

It takes a gif, jpeg or png of any size and sizes it proportionately to a specified size and then outputs a png. If the image is a transparent png or transparent gif, it will still hold the transparency. This is just a test page and it tested ok for me, but it is my first one. I also tested it on PHP 5. Dont know about compatibility to older versions. Knowing that, here you go. http://designdrumm.com/upload_images_test.php.zip HTH, Karl Bad link.

Why don't you show us an example of what it is you are trying to match this against. Then, after that example, show us what you would like to see as the output. Then, send us a copy of the code you are trying to use to make it all happen. -- Jim Lucas Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

You can pull out specific tags and tag content as you need. It's better to rely on DOM functions for these sorts of things than using regular expressions. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk But If I remove tags, I can't match this specific place, because are just these tags who distinct the place where to match. I.Lopez. _ Consejos para seducir ¿Puedes conocer gente nueva a través de Internet? ¡Regístrate ya! http://contactos.es.msn.com/?mtcmk=015352 It depends what you need to do. If you want to match specific tags, then something like getElementsByTagName() (I believe this function exists in the set of DOM functions) would very easily grab all those tags so you can work on them. I don't see much that a regex could do here that the DOM can't handle.
