[PHP] How does one reply to messages on this list?
If I just hit 'Reply' I'll send my reply to the individual who created the message. If I hit 'Reply All' my reply will be sent to: Govinda govinda.webdnat...@gmail.com, PHP-General List php-general@lists.php.net and the creator of the message. Neither option seems correct.

[PHP] Parse info from 1,000 files to file
Can someone briefly point me to the functions I'll need to parse some information from thousands of files in a single directory and then prepare the extracted info into a single file for SQL import?

[PHP] Website crawler auto image downloader
I need a script that will crawl a list of websites and download all .jpg, .gif, .png files. I can think of some ways how to start like, fopen() or maybe curl(). And it downed on me I'd need to handle files writing over with the same name. And it would be cool to save the full URL to the file in a database with the path on the local server where I'm saving them. I was hoping someone might say, Dude, that's simple, just do this... before I spent hours guessing. Anyone?

[PHP] FDF PDF - Content-type: application/vnd.fdf
When loaded into a browser that can display PDF files (Win IE and Firefox, Mac Safari) the FDF file (snip below) should open linked PDF and populated it with the data from the FDF file. It works fine when the FDF file is loaded from within the browser with Open File (or simply double-clicked from the desktop). It works fine in Win IE (because IE doesn't play by the rules). I just don't understand the header thing, the Content-type deal.

Re: [PHP] how to learn php
I started out by getting a reference manual, one with every function describing what the function does. Just like the php.net online function reference but one that can be read lying on the couch. Now when I need some code to do something I'll remember there's a function for it (maybe) and I go to php.net and search for it. I search for PHP examples online for more advanced stuff than I can do and study it. This gives me some knowledge of proper approach to coding; when to use what. Finally if the code looks funky I send a snip to this list and someone will suggest a better function or approach. Oh yea, this is great, I use Dreamweaver's (grimace) PHP coding abilities to get projects started. Dreamweaver can do the preliminary basic database connection stuff: INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE pages. Then I hack the Dreamweaver code. Doing a MySQL tutorial is a good idea too. hello i have been trying to learn php. what is the best approach to learning php for someone who has no programming experience? i am very familiar with html, xhtml, and css. i'm not an idiot when it comes to using computers. i have bought several books and have subscribed to a couple of the php mailing lists, but i feel that i could be doing more to learn php. what approach (and steps) did you take in learning this really cool scripting language? should i look into taking classes or stick with an autodidact approach? any advice and/or opinions would be greatly appreciated. thanks. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] str_replace ? \r
From a textarea on a web form I'm attempting to convert all returns(\r),
from the users input, to br /, for db INSERT, and then back again for
display in the textarea. (They remain as br /s for normal HTML web page
display.)
code:
// From textarea to db UPDATE
function addBR($tv) {
$tv = addslashes($tv);
$tv = str_replace(\r,br /,$tv);
// $tv = preg_replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/, br /, $tv);
// $tv = preg_replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/, , $tv);
return $tv;}
// For display in textarea
function remBR($tv) {
$tv = str_replace(br /,\r,$tv);
$tv = stripslashes($tv);
return $tv;
}
IT ALL works fine accept if a return is entered in the form's textarea at
the very beginning:
mysql SELECT jbs_jobDesA FROM jobs WHERE jbs_ID=77 \G
*** 1. row ***
jbs_jobDesA: br /[the return is still here]
Lesequam coreet la feum nulla feu facil iriure faccummolut ulput num augait
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
the return is converted to br /\r (leaving the return). AND then when
converted back for for the textarea both are stripped out, that is, there
is nothing in front of the first character. When resubmitted for UPDATE:
mysql SELECT jbs_jobDesA FROM jobs WHERE jbs_ID=77 \G
*** 1. row ***
jbs_jobDesA: Lesequam coreet la feum nulla feu facil iriure faccummolut
ulput num augait
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Q. Why is that first return treated differently? All other returns are
treated as expected.
Thanks,
sam

[PHP] PDF FDF $_POST
I need PHP fill out the form fields and prepare for download a PDF from an HTML form submission. One way would be to use a PDF with pre-configured form fields where an FDF is created from PHP.

I have the scripts from koivi.com producing the FDF correctly but I don't know what to do with it next. The target PDF would need to be downloaded first because when you open the FDF is says, hey where's the target. fdf_open looked promising but the fdftk is not compiled in on the server.

I don't see a way to change the auth protocol in the phpMyAdmin conf file: config.inc.php. If I create a MySQL user with no password phpMyAdmin works.

[PHP] POST losing SESSION vars?
I have a page that will be redirected to a login page if the SESSION var
'authenticatedUser' is not set.
The page has a form in it.
When the page is loaded http://thePage the authentication works fine. When
the submit button is pressed it doesn't. With POST it acts as if the
required session var is not set.
When redirected to the login page the login page DOES recognize the the
session var and redirects back to the first page a logged in user would
usually see.
formPage.php
?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['authenticatedUser'])) {
$_SESSION['loginMessage'] = You must first login.br ;
header(Location: index.php);
}
...
form action=?php echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']; ? method=POST
name=purch_form id=purch_form

?
index.php
?php
// FUNCTIONS
function logged_on($errorMessage) {
header (Location: authTest.php); //tmp Loc while testing
}
function login_page ($errorMessage) {
require_once login.php; //page where login pair entered
}
// end FUNCTIONS
// BEGIN authentication
session_start();
// First visit
if (!isset($_SESSION['loginMessage'])) {
login_page(Registered users please login.);
exit;
}
// PASS
if(isset($_SESSION['authenticatedUser'])) {
logged_on(need some control here);
exit;
}
// FAIL
else {
login_page($_SESSION['loginMessage']);
exit;
}
?
In other words the same page should load after the submit button is pressed
but instead the authentication is redirecting.

Re: [PHP] Square brackets tags
I was just reading a little on this. This is the way you build a template
system. Smarty uses { }. Maybe you could check out the Smarty page and get
an idea. http://smarty.php.net/
Or maybe you could just use Smarty, you can change the { } to anything you
want.
Hi All,
I need to write a PHP extension or a PHP template system (this is the
question) to parse some commands enclosed in square brackets inside web
pages. Please note that the commands are in the form [command1] and not
?php [command1] ?.
I want use PHP because these commands needs to be remapped with a web
oriented language.
Is it technically possible to remap these square brackets tags to php?
And if yes, what is the best way? A custom template system or a C PHP
extension?
Get Smarty.
If you get into Smarty could you let us know how 'steep' it was?

Re: [PHP] textarea vs. type=text data difference?
htmlentities!
Thanks a lot for taking the time but it was just my nubie error.
What had me going all off in the wrong direction was textarea fields don't
need htmlentities to display quotes correctly like a text field does.
you know like this: value=some text with important info
Displays in textarea fine but in type=text of course you get
some text
What a female dog.
Okay, so in other words...
//Doc1.php
include functions.php //this file contains the function definition for
protectText()
include formProcessor.php //this file contains the code that calls
protectText()
include form.php //this file gets the form data from user
By any chance, are ANY of the include files classes? I'm not 100%
sure(unless you put up some more code), but it sounds like it's maybe a
scope error... especially if you define the function in formProcessor and it
works fine...

[PHP] Quotes in form textarea fields

Value now Bob is high Then from FROM2.php we Submit BACK to FROM1.php and enter it back into the textarea field with: type=textarea, value=? echo $_POST['hidden']); ? we have; Bob is Everything after the first double quote is clobbered. I can fix this by putting this in FORM2.php: $APParea1 = $_POST['textarea']; $APParea1 = str_replace(\,[QT],$APParea1); and then back by putting this in FORM1.php: $APParea1 = $_POST['hidden']; $APParea1 = str_replace([QT],\,$APParea1); type=textarea, value=? echo $APParea1; ?
