Re: [PHP] Removing Arrays With Certain Keys From Larger Array

How does an idiot like myself accomplish this? You can reference it the same as you reference any other array. For example, you used print_r to display the sample array, to print a sub array you do the same thing: print_r($myArray[0]); That'll print the array under the 0 key. If you wanted element 1 of the array under key 0, then you'd do something like $myValue = $myArray[0][1]; Hope this helps. -- S. Keller UI Engineer The Health TV Channel, Inc.

If you're not setting the session until the form validates and is submitted, then you must be setting it on the page the form feeds to. This line: form method=GET name=form action=Register.php onsubmit=return validate(this); Tells the form to send it's GET data to Register.php, which is neither of the pages you gave us.

You can do this one of three ways:
1. Instead of actually submitting to a different php script, you submit to
one script that gives a header location based on which submit button you
use. So if I have three submit-type buttons, I'll just say
IF($_POST['submit1']) {
header(Location: script1.php);
}
ELSEIF($_POST['submit2']) {
header(Location: script2.php);
}
etc.
2. You submit to one script that includes the relevant functions depending
on which button is pushed.
IF($_POST['submit1']) {
include(script1.php):
}
or
3. You do it with Javascript since what you actually want to do is on the
client, not the server.

I am a little surprised to find that even when $i 10 and test() is invoked
again, the current function call executes all the way through to echoing
I'm here.
Why? The I'm here line is outside the conditional. The function will
still complete independent of the conditional. If $i is greater than ten,
the pointer just skips the contents of the if/then and continues on the
next line after it. Here's a better illustration:
function gooble($alGore) {
echo This is a ;
if ($alGore!=President) {
echo longer ;
}
echo sentence.br /;
}
gooble(Vice President);
gooble(Crazy Mountain Man);
gooble(President);
If you want the function to terminate when the conditional is false, then
you need an Else statement to do so, otherwise it's going to keep going.

Re: [PHP] static vars question
At 5/30/2003 05:53 PM, Martin Helie wrote: In my test() function, I called test() again inside the if statement (which checks true for 10 iterations) Yes. So you've called the statement 10 times. and I thought that the current function would immediately be terminated by calling itself (or any other function that doesn't return) again Why would you think this? Once whatever function is called terminates, the parent function will resume, which means that once the spawned version of the function is done, the original will resume. The difference here is that the child instances inherit the value of $i because you've made it static. and never actually echo I'm here until the condition wasn't met, therefore the function not called again. No? No. I told you, that I'm here is going to execute any time you call that function because it's OUTSIDE the if statement. Only statements inside the if are affected by its conditional. Once the pointer gets to the if, it's going to check the conditional and, if it's true, as it is the first 10 times you go through the function, then it will run whatever's inside. If it's not true, the pointer will look for an else statement to execute, and then resume running all of the other lines in the function. If you want a block of code to not run until the conditional is false, then you want to use an ELSE statement, you don't want to just drop your code after your if, it doesn't work that way.

Why do people assume that because they subscribe to a mailing list with their work address that the mailing list must hold to their company's standards? This list would have to be the worst for anyone learning - the amount of sarcasm and flaming that goes on is huge. If it's the worst, you haven't been on many mailing lists. A word of advice, stay off Usenet. Just try and remember - everyone has to learn, if you feel a question is off topic or stupid - ignore it, theres no need to make the poster feel like an idiot. There is when the poster *is* an idiot. When I first came on this list, I lurked for a few weeks because most of my n00b questions were already being answered in response to other n00bs. But I knew that there weren't people who did as I did because the same questions would be asked over and over again, no matter how many times they'd been answered. However, in my naivete, I actually posted a scathing reply to someone who had given an RTFM to someone asking a really dumb question. Fortunately, the regular I bit into was bright enough to gently brush me off and make me rethink my position. As a result, it wasn't too long before I realized that RTFM is a perfectly appropriate response to many questions; a good number of the answers are already posted to the PHP.net manual, if not in the articles themselves, then in the comments below. This mailing list does not exist to do people's homework for them. I agree that this list should cater only to the PHP elite. If it did, I'd be lost because the help I've gotten here has been invaluable. But I got a lot of that help by reading other people's questions, not ignoring the other posts here.

You haven't convinced me either. Changing the included CSS file, if you're using CSS-P for your layouts, lets you re-use *all* of your PHP code. Including extra files for templates in sub-directories sounds like a terrible waste of server space to me. Plus, once you've created the CSS files, the rendering overhead is shifted to the client, saving your server the extra processing for a template. And as for better thinking, CSS-P lets me debug a lot faster because the individual sections are truly modular in both the PHP code and the finished output.

Whats the best way to make a random password with 4 letters and 2 numbers?
I don't know what the best way is, but I had fun doing this one. I filled
the first 4 elements of an array with random letters by using the minimum
ASCII value of a letter as my random base, and the maximum ASCII letter
value as my random max (97 is a and 122 is z). Then did the same thing
to pick two numbers and add those to the array as well. Then I shuffled the
array to juggle the order the letters and numbers are in, and imploded it
into a single string. Viola.
?
// Pick 4 random letters
for ($i=0; $i4; $i++){
$thisPassArray[$i] = chr(rand(97,122));
}
// Pick 2 random numbers
for ($i=4; $i6; $i++){
$thisPassArray[$i] = chr(rand(48,57));
}
// Randomize their order
shuffle($thisPassArray);
// Implode the array into a password
$thisPass = implode(,$thisPassArray);
// Echo the password
echo $thisPass;
?
Now, of course, I didn't do any validation, ie. making sure the letters
don't repeat, including capital letters, or anything like that. But,
hopefully, this will give you a place to start.

I tested this by moving the file writing lines into the conditional just

Can someone explain to me why the loop that counts to 99 appears before the
5 by 5 grid in the following php code?
Yes.
## else {

## echo div align=\center\font size=\1\/font/div;
## echo Hello ; $i++;

You start the TD tags, but whenever your conditional echoes Hello,
you're not echoing the /TD. And when you come out of your loop, you never
close your TABLE tag. I hope you also realize that you're opening and
closing that DIV and FONT without putting the Hello inside of it.
Here's a good tip someone gave me when I first started learning PHP: when
you're dealing with HTML, it's a good idea to use \n at the end of your
echoed lines and \t's at the beginnings to create staggered indentations,
this makes it a little easier to read when you're testing the output.
For example, try running this version of your code:
?php
echo table border=\1\ align=\center\ width=\100%\
bgcolor=\#FF\ bordercolor=\#FF\\n\ttr\n;
for ($r=0; $r5; $r++){
for ($c=0; $c7; $c++){
if ($c==0 || $c%7==0)
echo \t\ttd align=\center\ valign=\middle\ width=\15%\
height=\77\ bordercolor=\#00\/td\n;
else if ($c%6==0)
echo \t\ttd align=\center\ valign=\middle\ width=\14%\
height=\77\ bordercolor=\#00\/td\n\t/tr\n\ttr\n;
else {
echo \t\ttd align=\center\ valign=\middle\ width=\15%\
height=\77\ border=\1\ bordercolor=\#00\\n;
echo \t\t\tdiv align=\center\font size=\1\;
echo Hello ; $i++;
echo /font/div\n\t\t/td\n;
} //for else
}// for loop c
} //for loop r
echo \t/tr\n/table\n\n;
for ($i=1; $i100; $i++)
echo $ibr\n;
?
Hope this answers some of your questions.

RE: [PHP] Odd Strpos Behavior
At 12/11/2002 08:09 PM, you wrote:
Okay, so how do you know what to replace something like [author] with?
What exactly are you doing again? I've forgotten the original question.
:)
Ok, got a sentence, like:
a pile of [metal] 600 feet wide and 30 feet tall. On top of it is
a [monster].
The items in the [] represent the names of files containing lists of
possible results. So I need to grab the first one, metal, open up
metal.php, grab a random item from it, such as gold, and replace
[metal] in the original sentence with the result. I should now have:
a pile of gold 600 feet wide and 30 feet tall. On top of it is a
[monster].
Now, what I was doing before was strpos'ing the []'s and grabbing what as
in between to be the file name, then repeating in a loop until I've
eliminated all of the [] items. The reason I'm doing it in a loop is
because the results of the metal.php random item may include their own []
items, which also need to be run exactly the same way. A result might be
gold [objects] and then I have to run through the objects.php file and
get a result from that.
This is what I started with:
?
$a = [adjective] [beginning]; // temporary item for testing
$e = strpos($a,]);
while ($e) {
echo A: .$a.br /;
echo E: .$e.br /;
$f = strpos($a, [);
echo F: .$f.br /;
$tmp = substr($a, 0, $f);
$table=substr($a, $f+1, $e-1);
echo Table: .$table.br /;
$a = substr($a, $e+1, strlen($a));
$dataFile = $table..php;
//$b = getFileElement($dataFile);
$tmp .= $b;
$tmp .= $a;
$a = $tmp;
$e = strpos($a,]);
}
echo $a;
?
That should work just fine. I cut out everything up to the first [ and add
it to $tmp. Then I get the next sequence of characters up to the first ]
and use it as a file name for the getFileElement function. Add the result
to $tmp, add what was left after the first ], and viola.
My problem is that, on the first loop through, strpos returns exactly where
the first ] is, so I can chop up to that no problem. However, the second
time through the loop, it's one off, which breaks the logic of the loop, I
end up with beginning] as my file name.

[PHP] Odd Strpos Behavior
I'm getting a really weird return from Strpos. What I'm doing is this, and
anyone familiar with any of the table-runner programs for RPG's will know
what I'm getting at here, I have a fields, like [adjective], [noun], etc.,
which I need to pull out and replace with values from included php files.
Ok, so I have a string with those fields in it, and I have a loop that
scans through the string for the first occurence of ]. On the first pass,
strpos returns the first instance of where ] shows up in the string.
Beautiful. I cut out the field, I create a filename, and it works just fine.
However, on the second run through the loop, instead of returning where ]
is in the string, it returns where ] is +1. Huh? It's throwing off my
script. Obviously, I could compensate by keeping a counter, but really, I
shouldn't have to.
Anyone know why I'm getting this?
Here's the code. I echoed the values so I could see what was going wrong.
?
$a = [adjective] [beginning];
$e = strpos($a,]);
while ($e) {
echo A: .$a.br /;
echo E: .$e.br /;
$f = strpos($a, [);
echo F: .$f.br /;
$tmp = substr($a, 0, $f);
$table=substr($a, $f+1, $e-1);
echo Table: .$table.br /;
$a = substr($a, $e+1, strlen($a));
$dataFile = $table..php;
$tmp .= $dataFile;
$tmp .= $a;
$a = $tmp;
$e = strpos($a,]);
}
# echo $a;
?
This is running on Apache, php4.2.3

Here's the code: ? $data = mtype=XMLDOCoutfile=true; $dataFile = http://www.healthtvchannel.org/courses/pay/data/test.xml;; $fileSize = filesize($dataFile); $fp = fopen($dataFile, rb); $strFile = fread($fp, $fileSize); fclose($fp); $osbURL=https://partners.netledger.com/SmbXml;; $ch = curl_init(); $res = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); echo Set Post: .$res; $res = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); echo br /Set Follow: .$res; $res = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1); echo br /Set Verbose: .$res; $res = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $osbURL); echo br /Set URL: .$res; $res = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data.mediafile=.$strFile); echo br /Set Postfields: .$res; $res = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); echo br /Set ReturnTransfer: .$res; $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); echo $result; ? What I'm getting is Warning: stat failed for http://www.healthtvchannel.org/courses/pay/data/test.xml (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /usr/local/www/vhosts/healthtvchannel.org/htdocs/courses/pay/posttest.php on line 20 I'm positive the file exists, and if I cut and paste the URL from the error to a browser window, I can see the file.

I don't remember if I need to pass variables along with the form for each page, or can I just call them on the last page. Shane, I recenty did a multi-page PHP form for a site that couldn't use a database. What I ended up doing in my own cludgy way was creating hidden form fields with each post, ie. extracting the http_post_vars and creating an input type=hidden for each posted answer. This carried all the filled out questions across the pages, and, of course, I could echo answers to questions that were already given if the user went back to a previous page. There was an additional hidden field for pageNo. The form POSTed to itself and INCLUDEd the section, ie. block of questions, specified by the pageNo. The last page simply put all the answers together into a tab-delimited file and fired it off to the people who needed to see it so they could import it into spreadsheets. The functional project is at: http://alaskayouthmediaproject.org/survey/ And I'll gladly send you the code if you want, just Email me off the mailing list. It's far from perfect code, in fact I'd only been using PHP for two weeks or so when I wrote it, but I've gotten compliments on the ingenuity of it. -- S.

[PHP] No Reply From cURL
I apologize for being a pest about this, I'm just not getting it. I'm attempting to open a connection to NetLedger to post an XML file. I'm attempting this basic code, which is pretty much what I find everywhere: $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, https://partners.netledger.com/SmbXml;); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$postData); $result = curl_exec ($ch); curl_close($ch); echo $result; And I'm getting no result back so I can't even see what error I'm getting. I'm using PHP 4.2.3, with OpenSSL/0.9.5a and compiled as follows: './configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/www/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/' '--with-gd=/usr/local/' '--with-freetype' '--with-imap' '--with-curl' Also, how do I include a file in the postData?

Really appreciate the help Bret. But I've still got some problems:
(FYI - I am using authorize.net, so some of the response parameters may be
different for you)
Actually, I appreciate the fields demonstration because it made me realize
I was missing two fields from the post, although Netledger is our
accounting system, not the payment gateway, so I was able to dump the CC
and eCHECK junk from the code since that's already been processed and
written into the data file.
We're using PayflowPro, and I've set up their Silent Post to feed to a
script on our site that generates an XML file in NetLedger's Small
Business XML format based on the data returned by PayFlow, and only if the
purchase is approved. It's that XML file that I need to post, along with
two identifying fields. NetLedger is then supposed to take that uploaded
XML file and turn it into a sales record in our accounting.
Does anyone know how to work a file into a cURL post?
I've already tested the XML file numerous times (NetLedger has a way to
upload the XML files from your desktop), and I know it's formatted properly.
$ch = curl_init(https://secure.website.net/script_or_application;); // URL
Ok, I was setting the URL in a CURLOPT. From what I understand, that
shouldn't make a difference, right?
//My responses are delimited with | (pipe)
$parts = explode(|, $resp); //creates array from reponse
Where are you setting this?
Ok, I've taken a shot at using your example and just removing the CC stuff.
What I came up with, then, should work, right? Nope. Still no response.
Here's my code:
$data = mtype=XMLDOCoutfile=true;
$ch = curl_init(https://partners.netledger.com/SmbXml;);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$resp = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
$parts = explode(|, $resp);
echo resp: .$resp.br /;
echo parts: .$parts.br /;
foreach($parts as $key = $val) {
echo b$key:/b $val br\n;
}
Now, granted, I'm not using | as a delimiter. At least, I don't think I
am. Still, $resp should echo if there's something in it, right? What I get
out of that is:
resp:
parts: Array
0:
Parts is the only one that echoes as I expected it to.

[PHP] Moving Files - Stupid Error
Hey all, I need a little help with moving a file on the server after an
upload.
Our company site is hosted, so I don't have full access to the
configuration files, but I can do a PHP_info dump if you need more
clarification. Using 4.0.1pl2.
What I'm doing is uploading a file from a form, and that goes through just
fine. I can print the file name to a database, along with the size.
The trouble is, no matter how I try to move it from the tmp directory, I
get the same error. I've tried referencing it by the name given in the
form, I've tried referencing it by $_Files. No matter how I call it, it
never seems to go back to the tmp directory to look for the file. Here's a
sample error:
Warning: Unable to create '/test/data/test.txt': No such file or directory
in /usr/local/www/vhosts/healthtvchannel.org/htdocs/test/upload.php on line 17
That's with using:
copy({$UploadedFile},/test/data/.$UploadedFile_name);
$UploadedFile being the name I'm using. Both variables seem to be returning
correctly. $UploadedFile returns the temp name, and $UploadedFile_name
returns the actual name. The file is also far under the maximum file size.
The /test/data has Nobody write permissions, I know because I'm writing to
a file in it with another script, and there's no file in there with the
same file name to cause overwriting ownership conflicts.
So where am I being stupid?
Here's the full code:
?
print($UploadedFile);
print(br /);
$filename = $UploadedFile_name;
print $filename was uploaded successfulybr\n;
$realname = $UploadedFile_name;
print realname is $realnamebr\n;
print copying file to uploads dirbr\n;

[PHP] Multi-Part PostToHost?
First, thanks to the people who've helped me so far. I'm a UI designer who's suddenly found himself responsible for a very large website that integrates services from no less than four different providers, and I've been dumped into learning PHP on my own under a heavy deadline. Anyway, I'm catching data from a form post and writing an XML document out of it. That's done, the server can process the XML correctly. But, from there, I need that file to be appended to a POST to a script on another server for processing. I've tried looking up how this is accomplished, and Richard Lynch was kind enough to point me in the direction of PostToHost, which got me off to a jump start on how to find more information. So now I'm at a point where I need help. After opening the socket, can I declare a multi-part POST and then start sending the data? Such as: fputs($fp, Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=AaB03x\n); fputs($fp, --AaB03x\n); fputs($fp, Content-Disposition: form-data; name=variable1\n); fputs($fp, \n); fputs($fp, Variable 1 Data\n); fputs($fp, --AaB03x\n); fputs($fp, Content-Disposition: form-data; name=files; filename=myFile.xml\n); fputs($fp, Content-Type: text/plain\n); fputs($fp, \n); fputs($fp, ... contents of myFile.xml ...\n); fputs($fp, --AaB03x--\n); And again, I've only been doing PHP a week, so if I'm following a totally wrong track here, feel free to smack me around. As always, any help is greatly appreciated. ~Steve-o -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Help a n00b with Server-to-Server file transfers?
Ok, here's the situation: I've got a script that's catching a backdoor post from Verisign. The script then generates an XML file based on the information that's posted. The goal being to make Verisign and our online accounting system pseudo- integrated so that as soon as a post comes through Verisign, the information is passed along to the accounting system and added to the ledger, saving us the time required to manually post those entries. So the XML file is written correctly now, and we've tested it by uploading it manually. The next step here is to pass that XML file from our server to the accounting system's server, where it'll be processed. The way the system is set up, they have a DLL that catches a form posted from a browser that also attaches the file. I'm hoping to use that same DLL to post from our server. I've been trying to read up on socket functions, but all I can find are the function formats listed on the PHP.net documents. That's great for reference, not so great for learning how it's done. I don't need an answer on how to pass the file, but I would appreciate some help in the way of a pointer to where I can go to read up on how I can accomplish this. Is there a particular tutorial I can read that's relevent? Perhaps a sample script available that I can peruse to see how someone did something similar? Any help would be appreciated. ~Steve-o -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
