[PHP] is there a number translation function?
Hi, Does anyone know of a function for translating a decimal number into an English number. In other words, if you pass it 1 it will return 'one', if you pass it 127 it will return 'one hundred twenty seven', and etc. Thanks, Linda -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] curious (and frustrating) php/apache behavior
We wish to include multiple PHP scripts into our pages but are only succeeding in having the first included PHP script executed; the rest are ignored or misinterpreted as HTML... I don't know if this is part of your problem, but when you do an include, it throws you out of php. So, if there is any php code in the include, you can't rely on the include being inside a php block. You must put a php block inside the include as well. This is true no matter how you name the include file (.php, .inc, .htm). Linda H -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Retrieve Data Formated from Text field
The data is inserted into db in this way: Hello, This is a sample of first line. This is another paragraph, blah blah blah Bye But the result is in one paragraph: Hello, This is a sample of first line. This is another paragraph, blah blah blah Bye It sounds as if your database record includes a carriage return or new line character (\n), which is not recognized in html (except using the pre tag. You need to replace the new line with an html p tag. You might want to store each paragraph in a different database record (make a table for the text. It will include a key that connects it to the main record, the text, and a sequence number that tells you the order in which the paragraphs should be displayed).

[PHP] Date confusion
Hi,
I must admit I am surprised at the paucity of date and time functions in PHP.
I have a date stored in a MySQL database in field of datatype date. PHP
doesn't seem to have a function I can use to format it for print. I tried
the following but regardless of the value in the date field, it displays as
'Wednesday December 31, 1969' (I know this is the day before the UNIX
epoch.).
echo 'p'.date('l F j, Y',$start_date).'/p';
I tried casting the field to datetime, but it didn't pass the parser.
Finally I did the following, which seems to work, but is awfully convoluted:
echo 'pDate: '.date('l F j, Y',strtotime($start_date).'/p';
The other thing I'm concerned about is that strtotime takes the locale into
consideration. I don't want it adjusting the date - I just want it printed out.
Is there a better way to do this?

[PHP] PHP and Perl
I am needing to write a front end for an online application written in Perl. Is there a way for PHP to call a module or function written in Perl? Thanks, Linda -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] problems with self referential sticky forms
Hi,
I'm trying to code a form that will call itself. The first time it is
called (by a link), it should display the empty form. If it was called by a
submit to itself, it will validate and then process or re-display the form
if it didn't pass validation.
In Programing PHP I found a technique (example 7-4.):
?
$fahr = $_GET['fahrenheit'];
if (is_null($fahr)){ echo 'fahr is null';}
$
The text says we copy the form parameter value into $fahr. If we aren't
given that parameter, $fahr contains NULL.
I thought this could be used to create a value that would then be displayed
in the form field. If the parameter wasn't passed, the form field would be
empty. If the paramenter was passed, the value would be displayed. Like so:
input name=temp type=text value=?php echo $fahr; ? /
But when execute the code above I get an error: Notice: Undefined index:
fahrenheit in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\.
Yet, the line 'fahr is null does print', so $fahr was successfully created.
Because I'm in debug mode, my error reporting is set to E_ALL. Are these
sorts of errors ones that will disappear when the error reporting threshold
is set lower. Should they be accepted in a development environment. Or is
there a better way of accomplishing what I want to do.
Thanks,
Linda

Re: [PHP] problems with self referential sticky forms
Where is fahrenheit? change the input name...
fahreheit is here:
?
$fahr = $_GET['fahrenheit'];
if (is_null($fahr)){ echo 'fahr is null';}
$
The error was on the line: $fahr = $_GET['fahrenheit'];

Re: [PHP] Re: Need help with PHP / MySQL connect problem
For those who didn't join this thread at the beginning, I'm running MySQL 4.0.21, Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 5.0.2 on a Windows XP system. I installed in the sequence - MySQL, then Apache, then PHP. MySQL was running when the others were installed (which is what the book I am using seemed to indicate). Apache was not running when PHP was installed. What does php.ini have for this line display_errors = On Now we are getting somewhere. Even though error_reporting was set to E_ALL, display_errors was Off. I set it On and now I'm getting an error. Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\example\test_connect.php on line 15 the phpinfo() display doesn't reference MySQL at all. It does reference SQLite with the following info: SQLite supportenabled: PECL Module version 2.0-dev $Id: sqlite.c,v 1.146.2.2 2004/08/02 22:43:42 iliaa Exp $ SQLite Library: 2.8.14 SQLite Encoding: iso8859 Directive: sqlite_assoc_case, Local Value: 0, Master Value: 0 So it looks like MySQL didn't get configured with PHP. In the PHP FAQ on database issues, I found the following: 4. PHP 5 no longer bundles MySQL client libraries, what does this mean to me? Can I still use MySQL with PHP? I try to use MySQL and get function undefined errors, what gives? Yes. There will always be MySQL support in PHP of one kind or another. The only change in PHP 5 is that we are no longer bundling the client library itself. Some reasons in no particular order: * Most systems these days already have the client library installed. * Given the above, having multiple versions of the library can get messy. For example, if you link mod_auth_mysql against one version and PHP against another, and then enable both in Apache, you get a nice fat crash. Also, the bundled library didn't always play well with the installed server version. The most obvious symptom of this being disagreement over where to find the mysql.socket Unix domain socket file. * Maintenance was somewhat lax and it was falling further and further behind the released version. * Future versions of the library are under the GPL and thus we don't have an upgrade path since we cannot bundle a GPL'ed library in a BSD/Apache-style licensed project. A clean break in PHP 5 seemed like the best option. This won't actually affect that many people. Unix users, at least the ones who know what they are doing, tend to always build PHP against their system's libmyqlclient library simply by adding the --with-mysql=/usr option when building PHP. Windows users may enable the extension php_mysql.dll inside php.ini. Also, be sure libmysql.dll is available to the systems PATH. For more details on how, read the FAQ on http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.addtopathsetting up the Windows systems PATH. Because libmysql.dll (and many other PHP related files) exist in the PHP folder, you'll want to add the PHP folder to your systems PATH. I added my PHP folder (C:\php5\) to my system path and restarted (libmysql.ddl is in php5). Still get the error. I enabled the extension php_mysql.dll in php.ini and Apache startup says it can't find it (php_mysql.dll is in C:\php5\ext). So, should I move php_mysql.dll to c:\php5, change the system path, or what? And what about php.ini showing sqlite instead of MySQL? Do I need to get the MySQL client libraries (what are they called and where do I put them - I already have some mysql dll's in the PHP libraries.

Re: [PHP] Re: SOLVED! Need help with PHP / MySQL connect problem
do you have this in your php.ini extensions? extension=php_mysql.dll yes Make sure you extension path is referencing its location also so it can find it... for example: extension_dir = c:/php/ext/ I changed this and now I can connect to MySQL! Haven't runa query yet, but I think I'm past the roadblock. Thanks so much to all who helped.

[PHP] Need help with PHP / MySQL connect problem
Hi,
I'm running MySQL 4.0.21, Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 5.0.2 on a Windows XP
system. I can run scripts with PHP and HTML statements and see correct
output in my browser. But when I try to connect to MySQL I get nothing,
including no error messages.
One book I have says to run the following scrip to test the connection. It
should print either the Resource name or an error message:
?php
echo mysql_connect ('localhost','calendar','pass1234'); # host, user,
password
?
I get no output at all, and if the statement is placed in a larger script,
above html/PHP output, it suppresses that as well.
Using the mysql monitor from the DOS command prompt, I can connect as user
'calendar' with password 'pass1234', select a database and execute SQL
statements successfully.
Can anyone help me figure out why I can't seem to connect, please?
Linda

[PHP] Re: Need help with PHP / MySQL connect problem
Thanks for the advice, Matt, but it doesn't seem to solve my problem.
php.ini is in the C:Program Files/WINDOWS directory and error_reporting was
set to E_ALL.
I found php5ts.dll in the WINDOWS/system32 directory. I copied it to
WINDOWS/system, just in case. My install instructions said to put it with
my other dlls, which might be in either directory. Most of them are in
system32.
Using this at the top of your script will allow PHP and MySQL to interact.
$_POST['dbconn']=mysql_select_db(database_name,
mysql_connect(server_name,user_name,password));
I put this in my script (changing parameters as appropriate) but got no
results and no error messages. Any other ideas. I've spent hours on this,
trying everything I could think of and I'm very frustrated.
The rest of my output is still suppressed if I put the connect script above
it in the file.
It does sound like you have notices and warnings turned off in php.ini:
Find php.ini (not sure where it installs to in Windows version), and set
error_reporting = E_ALL.
This will show all notices and warnings generated by your PHP code;
extremely usefull in debugging.

Re: [PHP] Re: Need help with PHP / MySQL connect problem
Try this just for kicks: ? aslkdjfalsd; ? Nope - nothing :-( See if this will output errors. It's rather hard to debug without error messages ;) No kidding! If I remember correctly, isn't php.ini supposed to be in c:/PHP? It came in c:/php5 as php.ini-recommended. My instructions were to move it to c:\WINDOWS and rename to php.ini.

Re: [PHP] Re: Need help with PHP / MySQL connect problem
I added the following to the top of my script: ?php echo phpinfo(); ? Got all sorts of environment and path info. Not anything about MySQL, but I didn't see anything that looked obviously wrong, though I don't understand a lot of it. I ried reinstalling MySQL, Apache, and PHP. No change.
