Re: [PHP] IRC from PHP - help
You might want to check out PEAR::Net_SmartIRC

hello
i'm a newcomer to this list, fairly experienced PHP programmer but coding
mostly for personal web sites or hobbies. I also run an irc chat network
and am curious as to if I can integrate php into it somehow. for example:
I want to have a webpage that can present a list of all connected users to
my irc network, or maybe a webpage to facilitate nickname
registration/activation. my idea is to somehow connect a
randomly-nicknamed client to the server like PHP-19942333 or something,
which would execute the commands. I fully understand the irc protocol and
have written a working irc client in VB.
i don't have experience enough to know if PHP has some sort of event
mechanism, for example, to be like on ircNamesList($names) { echo
$names['1']; } or something. (pseudo-code)
does anyone have an idea as to how this stuff could be done?
Here's a sort of pseudo-code of what I'd want, PHP-style but obviously
most of the functions are fake.
// Begin pseudo-code.
?php
echo Activating nickname...;
$php_nickname = PHPInterface // or have it generate a random number
irc_connect(192.168.1.1,6667,$php_nickname)
$nick_command = REGISTER $_GET['nick'] $_GET['email'] $_GET['pass'];
irc_send_privmsg(NickServ,$nick_command);
// some way to hold processing until the response is received...
wait_for_response();
// or maybe a while loop, like while $success = false...
// after response, die
exit(Finished);
// parse response
on event irc_privmsg($nick,$msg) {
if ($nick == NickServ) {
if ($msg == Your nickname has been successfully registered.) {
echo Registration succeeded!;
}
elseif ($msg == Invalid syntax) {
echo Error.;
}
irc_quit(PHP Script finished.);
}
?
obviously I'd also have to dress that page up a lot more, adding HTML code
and such.
This would also need a lot of error-trapping. Like if IRC couldn't connect
for whatever reason, or if NickServ wasn't available, or who knows what.
Well that's basically what I'm after. IDEAS??..

In $aliases, I need to ignore the lines that start with a # sign. It is
possible, but not probably that it will be more than just the first 2 lines
and possible that it isn't even the first two lines. After done, $aliases
should have just the two domain names in it. One per line. Then I need to
loop through the lines in $aliases and do stuff with each line. Any help
would be GREATLY appreciated. It would also be fine to just do a loop that
checks each line. Since I guess that would be quicker. If the line starts
with a #, then ignore it, otherwise, do some other stuff.

First I am trying to convert each character in a string into their
respective ASCII codes and then keep these again in a string. Such as:
string : ABCDEFGHIJ, expect to see in the result : 65666768697071727374
Then I would like to further manipulate this result with some math, say add
10 to each pair (the ascii code) so the new result becomes:
75767778798081828384
For my first attempt I tried:
$x=1
while ($x=strlen($string)) {
$holder = ord(substr($string, $x, 1));
$result = $result . $holder;
}
and failed since it takes ages to process and does not really return a
proper value/result but repetitive number such as 1..
I have also tried a 'for' example I found which failed as well.
I truely hope an expert here could show me some light and point me in the
right direction.

somewhere else, such as a missing ; or $ or {. Check and make you you
have no typo's, it seems to work perfectly for me.

Don't get too excited; this is an awfully lame newbie question.
I'm trying out my first functions and can't get past some sort of stupid
syntax mistake I'm making. I've cut the following snippet directly out of the
online PHP manual and put it in a PH page, like so:
html
headtitleTest function/title/head
body
bSquare of number/b/fontbrbr
?php
function square($num)
{
return $num * $num;
}
echo square(4); // outputs '16'.
?
br
/body
/html
When I run the php page, I get
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_RETURN in /var/www/html/afi/sq.php on
line 12
I've experimented with a half dozen different functions and variations, and
I'm always getting the same 'unexpected T_RETURN' error. This is pretty basic
but I'm outa clues.
I've searched the archives for the last 3 mo for T_RETURN (and user-defined
functions) as well as the online doc; no relevant hits.
Thanks,

Re: [PHP] Question about handling credit cards
The best way to store credit card numbers is to have them encrypted when they are stored in the database, and decrypted when they need to be used, that way it will be safer for the most part On Mon, 2004-10-04 at 14:49, Ed Lazor wrote: I'm looking at online stores and it seems like a lot of them maintain copies of credit card numbers. Is this true? That seems like a bad thing to me, especially in terms of liability and risk of hackers. On the flip side, it seems like there are legitimate reasons.

Or, if the customer decides to have instock items ship now and back ordered items ship when they arrive - which results in two shipping charges.

Re: [PHP] Using PHP4 or PHP5

Re: [PHP] How to install php5 on Fedora Core2
Howdy, Redhat is notorious for leaving out things, such as apxs. To get php working, you will most likely have to download apache, build it, and install it. Make sure you configure apache with --enable-so. After apache builds, do make install. And then, when configuring php, do ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs That should work just fine. You can still have your old apache installed at the same time, just don't use it. Copy the config files from the old apache, and do /etc/init.d/httpd stop, then startup the other apache (probably /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd), and php should be working perfectly -- Regards, Matthew Fonda On Sun, 2004-10-03 at 07:03, Robert Cummings wrote: On Sun, 2004-10-03 at 09:43, Teng Wang wrote: Surely apache is running.

Re: [PHP] How to install php5 on Fedora Core2
Howdy, When you configure, you need to make sure you have --with-ext= or --enable-ext for all the extensions you want to use. If you want all the same extensions from your previous install, you could copy and paste them out of the configuration command of your old phpinfo() page. If you try and use mysql, you may get an error about header files being missing, you need to copy the mysql .h files into the include directory for mysql. Also, if you dont want to re compile the entire thing, you can compile extensions separately, and load them with either dl() in a script, or just add them to php.ini -- Regards, Matthew Fonda On Sun, 2004-10-03 at 07:21, Teng Wang wrote: Thanks a lot.

You could do something like:

$all[] = $topic;
}
The array $all will contain all of the things fetched.

Re: [PHP] Best way to allow a user to indicate formatting to be displayed but stored.
Typically people use BBCode to do this.

In theory this is easy to do- but what would be the best and secure way of doing it? I thought by clicking the link this would be a form sending the url of the page to the next page and so I could then use $_GET to retrieve this. I also thought of using $_SERVER and getting the referer web address. Then I could use this in a hidden field and use the mail() function to mail it off. Aren't both these options open to abuse?

Re: [PHP] Multiple pages of data.
Or if you wanted to do it all in PHP, without using LIMIT, you could do
something like this.
I'm not exactly sure how your database is set up, so I just used this
made this dummy table as the one I will use in this example:
create table topics(id int(8) not null auto_increment, topic
varchar(30), author varchar(20), body text, primary key(id));
Ok, so then I just inserted some random data into to test with.
Here is some PHP code:
?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'password');
mysql_select_db(database, $link);
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table, $link);
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$all = array();
while ($topic = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$all[] = $topic;
}
if (isset($_GET['start'])) {
$start = $_GET['start'];
} else {
$start = 0;
}
for($i = $start; $i $start + 15; $i++) {
echo Topic ID: . $all[$i]['id'] .br /;
echo Topic Title: . $all[$i]['topic'] .br /;
echo Topic Author: . $all[$i]['author'] .br /;
echo Topic Body: . $all[$i]['body'] .br /;
echo hr;

echo pa href=\pages.php?start=.($i+1).\Next
Page/a/p;
}
}
mysql_free_result($result);
mysql_close($link);
?
That will do simple paging, and works seems to work fine.

Re: [PHP] regular expression help
Howdy,
Regular expressions are a simple way of matching patters.
You can learn more about regular expressions in general here:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xbd/re.html
If you are interested in using regular expressions in PHP, check out
these sites:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php
A regex to match what you are looking for would be /\{(.+?)\}/, and then
just replace it without the { and } for the replace part.
