Is this a shared server, Rich? As shown, the admin configured the
timezone of the machine to be EDT and set the clock right, but php.ini must
be set to PDT. You can easily override this with a local php.ini file, an
.htaccess directive, or by placing date_default_timezone_set() near the top
of the code.
You can see the current output of the above code here:
http://projectbench.extensiondlc.net
I've confirmed that the server is set to PDT. The value of date.timezone in
php.ini is America/Los_Angeles, which should be (currently) -8 hours from
UTC, but it looks like the PDT offset is only set to -4. Does that even
make sense?

[PHP] Stripping carriage returns
I'm retrieving CLOB data from an Oracle database, and cleaning up the HTML
in it. I'm using the following commands:
$content =
strip_tags($description-fields['CONTENT'],'polulli');
$content = preg_replace(/p.*/,p,$content);
The second line is necessary because the p tag frequently comes with class
or style descriptions that must be eliminated.
This works on the whole except where the p tag with the style definition
is broken up over two or more lines. In other words, something like:
p class = bullettext style = line-height: normal
border: 3;
In this case, the second line of my code does not strip the class or style
definitions from the paragraph tag. I've tried:
$content = nl2br($content)
and
$content = str_replace(chr(13),$content)
and
$content = preg_replace(/[.chr(10).|.chr(13).]/,,$content)
(I've read that Oracle uses chr(10) or chr(13) to represent line breaks
internally, so I decided to give those a try as well.)
and
$content = str_replace(array('\n','\r','\r\n'),$content)
all to no avail; these all leave the line break intact, which means my
preg_replace('/p.*/','p',$content) line still breaks.
Anyone have any ideas?

Daniel, you were right when you said that neither of my str_replace lines
had repl.acement values; that was indeed a typo when I was copying the code
over into my email.
Ashley, I've already been using strip_tags to eliminate all but p, ol,

[PHP] Database vs. Array
I have a script that connects to an external database to process about 4,000 records. Each record needs to be operated on pretty heavily, and the script overall takes about half an hour to execute. We've hit a wall where the script's memory usage exceeds the amount allocated to PHP. I've increased the allotted memory to 32MB, but that's not ideal for our purposes. So my thought is, would it be more efficient, memory-wise, to read the database entries into an array and process the array records, rather than maintain the database connection for the entire run of the script. This is not an issue I've come across before, so any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Richard S.

I hope that I've managed to explane a problem :-) Does anyone has any solution for this problem??? Please it's very urgent Not really, no. The choice of font is up to the user's browser. However, you can, with CSS, set some basic parameters. If, say, you want to ensure that the users sees a sans-serif font on their browser, you can use: font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif This basically says, ensure that the browser uses arial; if arial isn't available, use helvetica; if helvetica isn't available, use verdana; and if verdana isn't available, use whatever sans-serif font the user has installed on their computer.

getting Notice: Undefined index: user and Notice: Undefined index: pass.
changing form action to another page will solve the problem but i want to be

thanks in advance
/Arash
Arash,
It's hard to respond when it's unclear exactly what you want to do.
I'm guessing that you want to simply have the same page show both the
form, and also process the form, so that you can cut down on the
number of pages you have to create.
The way I do this is by first checking to see if the $_POST array has
been set; if it has not been set, then I know that the form wasn't
filled out, and so the script needs to print out the form. If the
array has been set, on the other hand, then the script can process the
form data. Here's a real quick example of what I mean:
?php
if (!isset($_POST)) { ? // The $_POST array is not set, so display the form
form action=pass.php method=POST
username : input type=text name=user br /
password : input type=password name=pass br /
input type=submit value=gop
/form
?php } else { // The $_POST array *is* set, so process the data
$user=$_POST['user'];
$pass=$_POST['pass'];
if(($user==myname)($pass=mypass)) {
echo access granted;
} else {
echo access denied;
}
?
Hope that helps.

[PHP] Query string vanishes on header(Location: ...) redirect
I'm trying to redirect my users to a URL which includes a query string:
$the_url =
$CFG-wwwroot./DLC/includes/L1_accept_required.php?cid=.$course-id;
//die (URL = $the_url);
header('Location: '. $the_url);
When I uncomment the die() command, the URL shows properly, e.g.:
http://mysite.com/DLC/includes/L1_accept_required.php?cid=152
The script at the URL calls the variable cid with $_GET:
$cid = $_GET['cid'];
When I browse directly to the URL as echoed by the die() command, the
value of cid is available to the script. However, when I do the
redirect, the URL that shows up in the browser's location bar does not
contain the query string. Thus, the script at L1_accept_required does
not function properly.
The annoying thing is that the redirect works properly everywhere else
in the site.
Can anyone give me insight into what might be going on? I've checked
for rogue .htaccess files which might be doing some fancy URL
rewriting, but found nothing.

Re: [PHP] Making sure an include file works
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I'm up against a
couple of major hurdles:
1. My host does not allow command line access and has disabled shell
execution of PHP;
2. Error reporting has been turned off and I can't seem to turn that on
with ini_set or error_reporting (which is fun when I have minor syntax
errors to fix); and
3. My host is also stuck in PHP 4.3, so the check_syntax function isn't
available to me either (although I understand that this function has been
deprecated in the most recent builds of PHP).
At this point, I'll just use file_exists and is_readable for some basic
checking, and hope that the included files have no syntax errors.

As far as I know, the only way to do that is via the CLI (or
accessing the include file directly in the browser).
Make sure that error_reporting is enabled and that it's set to
report E_ALL if you want to really be sure your code is clean (i.e. -
reporting unused, undefined, and uninstantiated variables, et cetera).
Then, if done from a *nix command line, just type:

[PHP] Getting the name of a function
For my own amusement, I'm writing a function that will print out detailed
error messages for an API that I'm creating for a minor project. One of the
pieces of information I'd like to return would be the name of the function
that called the error function. For example:
?php
function error ($message) {
print The error message is $message;
print The function that called the error was: [INSERT COOL CODE HERE];
}
function bad_function($param) {
error (This is dumb);
return false;
}
bad_function(blah);
?
Ideally this script would print this out:
The error message is This is dumb
The function that called the error was bad_function
I know that I could pass the name of the function as a parameter to the
error() function (e.g. error(bad_function,This is dumb)) but I'd rather
keep it simpler than that.
Is there a way to do this?

One problem you might be having is that the body tag at the very top might
be sending headers to your browser before your else statement has a chance to
kick in, generating an error which reads something like, Headers already

[PHP] Problem downloading files in IE
My users are having problems downloading .doc or .xls files linked to from PHP pages; when they click on the link, IE returns an error stating that the file cannot be found. Firefox, however, seems to be able to find the file and open it just fine. From what I can tell, this is related to a known IE issue which prevents users from being able to download files from a secure site if the headers on the page are set to prevent caching. However, our site is not a secure site, nor do we have headers which prevent caching. This has been bugging me for weeks. I advise our users to use Firefox, but not all of them are able to do so; and since they pay our bills, we don't have much of an option.

Your string delimiters are very strange; I'm not sure if your code has those

At any rate, make sure your code looks like this:
?php
$image = ;
if ($image == NULL) {

} else {
print img src=\$var\;
}
?
If that still gives you problems, you could try replacing the second print

print img src=\.$var.\;
just to see if the problem is with the string or is some strange interpolation
issue.

This can be done without CSS, actually. Try: td background=imagefile Not all browsers will support this, of course.

Re: [PHP] Using a HTML button
PHP is entirely server-based. So when you load this page into your
browser, all of the PHP is being parsed BEFORE it ever loads into the
browser. So the function will be executed even before the page loads.
Do it in JavaScript if you want it to be done in the browser. What you
have written down will show up in the source code of your browser as:
INPUT TYPE=BUTTON NAME=HH value=Mul onClick=1
(or something like that).
PHP runs entirely on the
server. Server! Server! Server! Server! Honest, I promise that it
doesn't get interpreted by the browser. If you have any doubts, try
writing a PHP script, reading it in your browser, and then viewing the
source code to see what gets rendered.
For browser-side scripting, I suggest you pick up a book on JavaScript
programming. Nothing you do in PHP will ever be interpreted by a browser.

Re: [PHP] How to strip off all html-comments
Martin, strip_tags() would be useful for removing *all* HTML from a string, though you can specify that certain tags should be retained. For example, if you want to remove all *but* anchor tags from your string, your function would look like this: $str = strip_tags($str,'a'); However, if you want to remove *just* comment tags, though, you're better off using the ereg_replace() or eregi_replace() function to remove the comment tags, something like this: $str = eregi_replace(!--[^]*--,,$str); ...which would be a lot easier than including every other possible tag in the second field of the strip_tags() function. This regexp is very similar to one that I used to remove img tags from a string in a project I was working on. Good luck!

RE: [PHP] Opening a new window.
Do you mean having it open a window as the page is loading? Just include the javascript to open the new window in the body tag, using the onLoad attribute. Of course, once the page has been loaded, you have to rely on JavaScript to do everything, because PHP only works on the server and not the browser. But, of course, you already knew that.

RE: [PHP] Opening a new window.
You can't really specify target window properties in straight HTML without
getting rid of JavaScript.
For what it's worth, here is a bit of JavaScript that I use on my home page
to spawn a small window:
function my_win()
{
window.open('mailsend.html','mywindow','width=333,height=410,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,copyhistory=no,resizable=yes');
}
The window that is spawned is 333 pixels wide, by 410 pixels high, has no
toolbar, no location bar, no directory bar, no menu bar, no scrollbars, and
no status bar, though it can be resized.
Why do you want to get rid of JavaScript?

Re: [PHP] forms PHP
I've done something similar like this: a href=javascript:window.back() Click here to go back /a In the situations in which I've used it, the form data from the previous page is still in the form fields. Potential downsides of this approach: the data has not yet been processed. Or, if it has been, you run the risk of processing it twice. Also, it may be unreliable depending on how the user's cache is set up (though I've never had any problems reported to me). So, it may or may not suit your needs.

RE: [PHP] header(Location:blah...) - passing variables
My approach has been to pass an error code back to the original form.
form.php:
?php
print(form aciton=\formVerify.php\);
print(a buncha form crap);
if ($errcode==1) print (Your user id is wrong. You suck);
if ($errcode==2) print (Your password is wrong. You really suck);
print(/form);
?
Then in formVerify.php:
?php
...error checking code...
if (userID invalid)
header(Location: form.php?errcode=1);
if (password invalid)
header(Location: form.php?errcode=2);
else
header(Location: goodpage.php);
?
You could probably also use cookies to pass the error code back and forth,
but that's probably overkill and unreliable.

word suck; the futile job search has got me really annoyed right now.)

Almost all my input values are set to PHP variables in the form. The 1st

an error string, and include the form. That way all previously typed in data
remains in the form without me having to tell the user to hit the back

There's a bit more work than that (using htmlspecialchars et al.) but if you

easy to do validation and redisplay if necessary.

Re: [PHP] mysql update query
What error are you getting, exactly? MySQL is not case-sensitive with regards to commands, but it is case-sensitive for table names, column names, etc. Make sure that the table names are exactly exact ;-) including cases, etc. You might double-check the values in the variables: do they contain special characters (like ' or ) that need to be escaped out with addslashes()? Check the datatypes for the columns as well. If the datatype is a number, the single quote is not needed (and will, in fact, cause an error). I've had trouble in the past using variables with single quotes in the string and variable interpolation. In this sort of case I usually use: $query = stuff='.$stuff.'; instead of $query = stuff = '$stuff'; It's clunkier, but it might work. Give it a try as well. Ultimately, though, I suspect that it's your data that's causing the problems.

Re: [PHP] call php with javascript
I don't get what you are trying to do. Does test.php contain JavaScript
that you are trying to execute? If so, then test.php should be called
test.js, and should look something like this:
function (blah) {
var foo = blah;
document.write(foo);
}
If test.php is a PHP document that you're trying to execute, then your main
document should look like this:
?
include(test.php);
?
...and it should be called something like myDocument.php.
The problem is that PHP is a server-side language and you're trying to
force it to execute like a browser-side language. It won't work.
?rant
IE is far too forgiving of the inclusion of bad code, which is why I never
recommend that it be used for testing purposes -- in my experience,
developers who develop for IE or who test on IE universally create bad
code, because IE just lets it happen. Use Netscape for testing your pages;
if it works in Netscape, it will work in IE and Opera and Mozilla, etc. If
it works in IE, it may or may not work in other browsers.

[PHP] Testing for the presence of HTML
My database contains a field which may or may not contain HTML code, depending on what a particular user enters when they enter the data. Here's the challenge: If there is HTML code in this field, then print the text with interpreted HTML. No problem at all.

Actually, that does work when I'm using a string with that content. The
only thing I can figure is that there is a problem with the way the the

Ah, well. I'll make it work. Where's my hammer?

RE: [PHP] I suck at regular expressions! -- not as bad, now
Thanks to everyone who helped me figure this out. I foolishly didn't realize that I was using the htmlspecialchars() function on the string that I was pulling from the file, but not accounting for that in the regexp. So, what I was getting was: lt;titlegt;BLAH BLAH BLAHlt;/titlegt; but what I was trying to find was: title BLAH BLAH BLAH /title It's all good now. Sliante, Richard S.

Why, sure! In your FORM tag, use ACTION=test.php. You can send your JavaScript variable as part of the form, in a hidden form field such as INPUT TYPE=hidden VALUE=myValue. The value of the variable will be available the next time test.php shows up as $myValue. You can then manipulate it to your heart's delight.

Re: [PHP] HTTP Headers
Boy, that's one of those Imagine the trouble we would get into if we could! questions, isn't it? Just like How do I disable the back button?, or How do I use PHP to feed me the contents of a web browser's hard drive? That said, some hosting services support what is called domain parking, where you can hop on to a URL, and then have that URL displayed in the browser's location bar throughout the browsing experience. The problem is that it's unreliable (you don't know when you're going to burst out of park mode and see the real URL), and the URL that is displayed is relatively static. That is, you will only see the URL, and not any subdirectories. It's obnoxious, and I don't recommend it, but check with your hosting service if that's really the route you want to go. Can't be done with PHP, though. At 03:55 PM 11/9/2001, Mike Harvey wrote: Is it possible to redirect to an IP address but have the browser address bar show an URL?

Re: [PHP] close windows
window.close() It's JavaScript. PHP is a server-side language and cannot affect anything on the browser itself. PHP cannot: 1. Close a browser window 2. Spawn new windows 3. Produce pop-up boxes 4. Do form verification before the form is submitted 5. Do anything to a page after it is loaded 6. Disable the back button 7. Change the right-click menu 8. Do image roll-overs 9. Dyanimically refresh a page which is already loaded 10. Make text blink All of the above need to be accomplished with JavaScript or regular HTML. I believe that this is the fourth e-mail to this list that I've seen over the past three days that asked how to perform a traditional JavaScript function with PHP. PHP is a great language for back end functionality and for creating web pages on the fly, but once a page has been loaded into the client browser, PHP loses all control over the page. Any more functionality that you wish to install on your page must be done with JavaScript.

Re: [PHP] downloading images
With some of the newer broswers, you may be able to re-define the functionality of the context menu via JavaScript. Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com; I think that there are some examples there, and you might be able to redirect the save image as... functionality there (I wouldn't count on it, though). Another option might be to zip up the larger image as a zip file and create a link to that zip file through the thumbnail image. That way, when the user clicks on the thumbnail, they are prompted with a save as... dialogue box and they can then save the document on their own computer. They still have to unzip it though. Other than that, I think you're out of luck. The problem is that saving an image onto a computer is a client-side function, which you can have no control over with server-side programs such as PHP or Perl. If you can come up with a way for a web page to mess around with the source code of Netscape or IE, then you might be able to do things like control the save image as... functionality, or disable the back button, but that seems pretty unlikely to me.

Re: [PHP] spaces vs nbsp; in form fields
The problem is that you have special characters that are interfering with the output. I had exactly the same problem a few weeks ago. Try this: $fixedOutputValue = htmlspecialchars($outputValue); print (input type=\text\ value=\$fixedOutputValue\ /); This is how I solved it. Note that putting htmlspecialchars($outputValue) in the value attribute will give you undesirable results.

Re: [PHP] Best [non-PHP] way to redirect a browser
You might try META tags. Put this in the head section of your index.html file: meta http-equiv=refresh content=0; url=index.php If the user has JavaScript disabled, you're probably best off using a link and letting the user click through. You may also be able to adjust your Apache or IIS or whatever configuration to load index.php by default, and even eliminated index.html altogether.

Re: [PHP] INPUT tag with default value
It is possible to utilize a VALUE attribute with a FILE type input field. Even the specs at Blooberry list value as an attribute of the input type=file field. I double-checked at w3c.org to make sure, though, and found the information repeated there. I even checked my O'Reilly book on XHTML. :) O'Reilly suggests, though, that because of the vagaries of individual file systems on individual computers, the VALUE attribute just isn't recommended. I suggested the use of the htmlspecialchars() function to strip possible quotes from the value of $photo in the original author's example, as in: input type=file value=? echo htmlspecialchars($photo); ? I struggled with exactly this problem a couple of weeks ago. In the end I decided that using the VALUE attribute was just a bad idea, since one could never know how the user had set up their own file system.

Re: [PHP] This is driving me to drink...
Problem solved. Boy, that was easy.
The database was adding trailing spaces to the codes (so that MNE was
actually MNE and so on). $p_code=trim($p_code) did the trick.
I could still use that Bushmill's, though.

[PHP] Arrays in Classes
I'm quite new at object-oriented programming in PHP. Here's what I want to do. I want to create a class of objects called "lists". The properties I want to have for list objects include: owner of the list number of items in the list the list itself Each item in the list, of course, has several properties of their own: the date the item was added, the name of the item, and a link to the item. I figured that the list would be contained in an array of associative arrays... such as, item[0]["item"]="Palm Pilot" item[0]["dateAdded"]="2001-03-18" item[0]["link"]="http://www.palm.com" The lists will be built from a database which contains information about users and the lists that they maintain. The database part I have down pat. Properties of the list objects can be retrieved like this, of course... $myList=new List($userID); $num=$myList-numItems; $name=$myList-listOwner; What I'm wondering is, can I do something like this: for($i=0;$i$num;$i++) $itemList[$i]["item"]=$myList-item[$i]["item"]; If so, how??? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] PHP and the MIME type - an Apache question
Ah, sorry. Here's the deal. Our company runs Unix on Sun Solaris (sorry, don't know the numbers of the top of my head) servers. We have Apache set up to go through every HTML file which is served, and look for instances of a particular command. For example, in our HTML files, we might have commands such as "BOB-include" or something. When an HTML file is served, Apache calls a Perl module called parser.cgi which goes through the file and executes the BOB commands; in this case, the BOB-include command might mean to include a certain file, sort of like the PHP include command. While this system is good for specific database needs, it doesn't allow a large degree of flexibility, which is why we're beginning to explore using PHP to create complex scripts. What I would like to do is be able to include the BOB commands in the output of a PHP script -- say, in a print() command -- and have those BOB commands executed. I hope this makes sense. I'm trying to be as clear as possible without giving away any sensitive company information.

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Links..
Yes, I should have mentioned... we actually do develop contracts outlining co-branding agreements with our partners before we establish a frameset. I should also mention that we don't use PHP for session tracking; we use a home-grown Perl/Oracle hybrid for session tracking. But I imagine that establishing a frameset like this would work for PHP session tracking as well.

Re: [PHP] Post without submit?
Without knowing exactly what you want to do, I would try something like the
following in JavaScript:
function doSubmit() {
document.form.submit()
}
Then associate the function with any sort of desired event. In a project
of mine, I have it attached to a keypress function so that the form is
submitted when the user presses the enter key from the last form field. I
suppose you could also put it in the BODY tag if you're feeling especially
adventurous.

[PHP] FW: Cookies, Dammit!
Is there a way to: 1. Set cookies to a particular value (e.g., foo=hi and bar=ho), AND 2. Redirect the user to a new page in a different directory? AND 3. have the new page be able to retrieve the values of both foo and bar? I'm redirecting users from an index.htm page to an index.php page (because our server is not set up to have index.php as a default page), and trying to set cookies on the index.php page prior to redirecting the user to an index.htm page in an entirely different directory (why? because for some reason I thought it would streamline one of our processes). However, the cookies simply don't get set; a document.write command on the second index.html page shows that the value of the cookies is null. The value of the cookies are determined by the results of a query run against a MySQL directory, so they cannot be set on the first index.html page. I have been struggling with this conundrum for three days at this point, with no success.

RE: [PHP] FW: Cookies, Dammit!
In this case, the value of the cookie is pulled from a database; the specific value depends on the URL at the user is redirecting from. If the user comes from www.domain.com/minisite1/index.htm then when they're directed to www.domain.com/index.htm, they should see "Welcome from minisite1"; but if they come from www.domain.com/minisite2/index.htm they should see "Welcome from minisite2" when they're redirected to www.domain.com/index.htm. it's a bit more complicated than that, but that's the general idea.

Do they not already have the value of the cookie in order to be able to set it? Why attempt to read it back straight away? jason Some browsers just can't handle a redirect and a set-cookie header in the same request.
