[PHP] Resolving a PHP Notice Error
I am wanting to establish a default sort by preference when the user hasn’t
specified one. I setup to test this with:
?php
if ( !is_set( $sort_by_preference ) ) {
$sort_by_preference = government_wording;
}
?
But I am receiving a Notice error:
Notice: Undefined variable: sort_by_preference in GIFI_codes.php on line 11-
Line 11 is “if ( !is_set( $sort_by_preference ) ) {“What is the correct way to
test this without triggering a Notice error?Ron

[PHP] include() Error
Good morning all: I have recently purchased a computer and am using it as a dedicated server. A friend helped me install PHP and configure. I am saying this because I wonder if using a newer version of PHP (compared to my commercial web host) may be the reasoning behind the error I am receiving. I created a function to generate a form submission key. - This created hidden variable for forms - This is also session variable With this function I have an ‘ include ‘ for the file containing the mySQL database, username and password. I know this file is being accessed because I added: === echo $mySQL_user; === following the login credentials. But when I remove this line from mySQL_user_login.inc.php and place within the function on the line following the include the echo” returns nothing. === include(mySQL_user_login.inc.php); echo $mySQL_user; === Can any of you tell me why this is happening?

[PHP] Variable Question
I am trying to assign variables from an array into variables. This is
following a database query. Right now they are in an array:
$row[‘word_1’]
$row[‘word_2’]
$row[‘word_3’]
...
$row[‘word_25’]
I am trying to use this while look to assign them to variables:
$word_1
$word_2
$word_3
...
$word_25
This is the WHILE loop:
$i = 1;
while ( $i = 25 ) {
${'word_'.$i} = stripslashes( eval (echo $row['word_$i']) );
++$i;
}
What is confusing me is I don’t know how to represent the array variable.
The specific error message I am receiving is:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting
T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

Hi Everyone:

$image_3 = stripslashes( $row['image_3'] );
$image_4 = stripslashes( $row['image_4'] );
What I need help with is how to represent the variable using $i for the number
portion in the following WHILE loop. I am not sure of how to correctly do it.

I'm not sure what's going on with your program, exactly. Here's what I
tried:
start script
?php
foreach($_REQUEST as $key = $val) {
$$key = $val; // do not know what this is supposed to do here...
$email_body .= wordwrap(KEY: . $key . \n,70,\n);
$email_body .= wordwrap(VAL: . $val . \n,70,\n);
$email_body .= \n;
}
print_r($email_body);
mail( 'tamara@localhost' , Test Pipe To Program , $email_body );
end script
(Note: according to http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php:
Each line should be separated with a LF (\n). Lines should not be
larger than 70 characters.
Which is why I added the wordwrap on each line and terminated the
lines with \n instead of \r\n.)
Calling the script, print_r showed the string as expected:
start output

VAL: 1

The byte sequence that is being received is just 0xED.
php -r file_put_contents('a.rss',
file_get_contents('http://www.elversiculodeldia.info/peticiones-de-rezo-rss.xml'));
This is NOT UTF-8 encoded data, but is ISO-8859-1 Latin-1 (most likely).
So as I see it you have 1 choice.
Either use ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? as the XML tag
or convert the encoded data to UTF-8.
It also means that the data in the sql server is NOT UTF-8 and will
need to be converted also.
I would recommend doing that first.
That will mean reading the data as ISO-8859-1 and converting it to
UTF-8 and then saving it again.
I'd also be looking at the app that inputs the data into the DB initially.
To convert the text, here are 2 examples. I'm sure there are more ways.
?php
$iso_text = 'El Versículo del Día: Pray For Others: Incoming Prayer
Requests';
$utf_8_text = utf8_encode($iso_text);
var_dump($iso_text, $utf_8_text);
$utf_8_text = iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', $iso_text);
var_dump($iso_text, $utf_8_text);
?
outputs ...
string(63) El Vers퀀culo del D퀀a: Pray For Others: Incoming Prayer Requests
string(65) El Versículo del Día: Pray For Others: Incoming Prayer Requests
string(63) El Vers퀀culo del D퀀a: Pray For Others: Incoming Prayer Requests
string(65) El Versículo del Día: Pray For Others: Incoming Prayer Requests
notice that the correct strings are 2 bytes longer?
The í is encoded as 0xC3AD or U+00ED.

[PHP] str_replace
I am trying to figure out a syntax that will replace each instance of % with a different letter chosen randomly from the string $puzzle_filler. $puzzle_filler is populated with the letters of the alphabet, roughly in the same ratio as they are used. This syntax replaces each instance of % with the same letter: $puzzle[$i] = str_replace ( % , ( substr ( $puzzle_filler , rand(1,98) , 1 ) ) , $puzzle[$i] ); Turning this: %ECARBME%TIPLUP%%%E%% Into: uECARBMEuTIPLUPuuuEuu Is there a way to tweak my str_replace so it will only do 1 % at a time, so a different replacement letter is selected? This is the syntax specific to choosing a replacement letter at random: substr ( $puzzle_filler , rand(1,98) , 1 ); Thanks for your help.

Re: [PHP] Fw: Spoofing user_agent
The following solution works:
I set my user-agent to:
VerseOfTheDaySitemapRobot/1.0 (http://www.TheVerseOfTheDay.info)
By doing:
ini_set('user_agent', VerseOfTheDaySitemapRobot/1.0
(http://www.TheVerseOfTheDay.info));
When ran by a cron job this causes AWSTATS to treat the hits as:
Unknown robot (identified by 'robot')9704+18284.82 MB30 Nov 2010 -

The part which tricked me is that if I run the site map generator PHP script
using a user interface the hits on the site are credited to the Firefox (the
browser I use) user-agent string. The following article discusses how to

It is no use using header(). This sets a header for the client, not
the server of any file_get_contents() requests.
I use stream_contexts.
$s_Contents = file_get_contents(
$s_URL,
False,
stream_context_create(
array(
'http' = array(
'method' = 'GET',
'header' = User-Agent: RonBot (http://www.example.com)\r\n
),
)
)
);
You can supply cookies, or anything else, with the request. Make sure
you add a \r\n to each of the headers and just concatenate them.
If you are doing this in a loop, then I'd recommend creating a default
stream context and then the request would just be ...
$s_Contents = file_get_contents($s_URL);
As the default stream context would be applied.
I had to use a default stream context to route all http requests
through an NTLM authentication proxy server because PHP doesn't deal
with NTLM authentication.
See my user notes on
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-context-get-default.php.
Don't bother with the link at the bottom of the user note- it's not
live.

loop:
===
foreach ($_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] AS $coaching_fee_theme_reference

What I need help with is that I don't know how to test the value of $gift
in the above array if it is a 1 or 2 (which symbolizes this is a gift
certificate).
I have something like this in mind:
if ( $_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] == 2 ) {

going through the FOREACH loop.
By using a 1 or 2 I have made gift certificates their own product. If

Re: [PHP] Array / form processing
Many thanks, Chris.
I have one additional question about this shopping cart project. I need
to make a submit button for the purpose of removing an item from the
shopping cart.
input type=submit name=submit value=Remove class=place_order/
What I am struggling with is to find an effective method for passing the
product serial number (auto_increment in the table it is stored in) so I
know which product the user is removing from their purchase. Then I will
just unset the session variable that matches.
What are your suggestion(s)?
Thank you your help with my original question Chris.
Ron
$_SESSION['life_coaching_order'][$product][$gift]['quantity'] =
$_SESSION['life_coaching_order'][$product][$gift]['quantity'] + 1;
===
...
===
foreach ($_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] AS $coaching_fee_theme_reference
= $value ) {
===
In this example $value would be an array. To test if it is a gift or not
you
would do this from within the foreach loop:
//gift
if ( isset($value[1]) isset($value[1]['quantity']) )
{
$gift_quantity = $value[1]['quantity'];
}
//personal use
if ( isset($value[2]) isset($value[2]['quantity']) )
{
$personal_quantity = $value[2]['quantity'];
}
Technically the above IF's are optional, but they are proper syntax.
I don't know how you are with OOP, but you may have more luck using
objects
instead of a complex array.

Now I need to display the shopping cart contents. I want to do this
through an array as the contents of the shopping cart are in a session
variable. I start displaying the shopping cart contents by a FOREACH
loop:
===
foreach ($_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] AS
$coaching_fee_theme_reference
= $value ) {
===
What I need help with is that I don't know how to test the value of
$gift
in the above array if it is a 1 or 2 (which symbolizes this is a gift
certificate).
I have something like this in mind:
if ( $_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] == 2 ) {
But I don't know how to access all the components of the array while I
am
going through the FOREACH loop.
By using a 1 or 2 I have made gift certificates their own product.
If
you a better method I could use please provide me with this feedback.

[PHP] Array form processing
I am trying to process a form where the user uses checkboxes:
input type=checkbox name=painDesc[] value=1 /Sharp
input type=checkbox name=painDesc[] value=2 /Stabbing
input type=checkbox name=painDesc[] value=3 /Jabbing
When I do:
foreach($_REQUEST as $key = $val) {
$$key = $val;
echo $key . : . $val . br;
}
The output is:
painDesc: Array
I need to know the values of the array (IE to know what the user is
checking), not that there is an array. I hope to save these values to the
database.
Thank you.

Re: [PHP] Array
The code I have so far for orders is below. When a product hasn't been
added it does what I want it to --- in giving the message Your shopping
cart is empty. When a product is added, but then the user changes
their mind I use the following lines of code to remove the selection:
UNSET($_SESSION['order'][$reference]['quantity']);
UNSET($_SESSION['order'][$reference]);
It still leaves the variable $_SESSION['order'] as an array, even if
there are no selections in it. The PHP command is_array is useless of
weed out when there are no products.
What I would like to have happen is if the shopping cart is empty then
the message Your shopping cart is empty be displayed 100% of the time.
How do I achieve this? What changes to my code below need to happen?
?php

Its also important to know that some critical information like multipart meta data cant be sent via get. And GET method is not safe too. Large chunks of data are sent via POST method. $_REQUEST is not advised to use for security reasons.. there are senior and experienced programmers here who will elaborate more onto this :)

Re: [PHP] Manipulating strings
The first question was to find out how long the blog entry was (number of paragraphs.) I am wanting to put an ad in half way. Consequently there are going to be many br / 's before the one I am wanting to add text to. How should I handle this?

[PHP] Multiple words str_shuffle
I am trying to scramble individual words and/or phrases.
When it is a phrase I would like to keep the letters of each word
together, with a space between each one. The code I have so far is
below. I use PHP 4.4.7. The code below is fine for a single word; it
is phrases that I am now trying to accommodate.
An example:
rise and shine
Desired output:
I S R E N A D E H I S N
Thanks for your help,
Ron
$keyword might be
$keyword = str_shuffle(strtoupper($keyword));
$buffer = ;
for ($count = 0; ($count strlen($keyword)); $count++) $buffer .=
$keyword{$count}. ;
$keyword = trim($buffer);
unset($buffer);

Re: [PHP] Variables in forms
Jim what you sent is very helpful.
I had an error message when I submitted the form with a POST
your_cleaning_function
gave me this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: your_cleaning_function()
I am trying to save the ones that were checked to a mySQL table and then
notify the user the database was updated. The first thing that happens
is the code you gave me below. How do I resolve this error? I get the
concept of functions, but this isn't an area of PHP that I have used
before.

In your form, do this

Then in PHP do this. This is if the form was sent via POST

[PHP] Help with a foreach statement

I put the SESSION variable into $cart $cart = $_SESSION['selection']; then I start the foreach and this is where I get messed up. I am trying to ECHO the following syntax to the screen with each selected product: The part I need help with is to write the foreach loop to give me $product (so I may query the database to find out the product name) and the $quantity (so I may show the user what they are purchasing). The part that is messing me up is that this is an array.
