Re: [PHP] how to select a file on a random basis?
Ok well that array idea could work.. but what's the filename format of these files?? if they're all contigous or in some kind of pattern there maybe a faster and easier way such as if you have them for example named: file1.ext, file2.ext or some pattern or other.. then you can just use random number func's to do some work with you and all should be good.. ::: : Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] : A.K.A.

Well there's a couple ways you could do this...it's too early in the morning to post code but with some quick searches in the manual you should find all you need. The most dynamic way to do this is to grab all the filenames in the directory you want, then randomize the array using shufflethen use the first cell value in the array.

Re: [PHP] (newbi)mySQL query question
try this:
$query = SELECT code FROM links WHERE sort_text LIKE '$letter%';
Note there are now single quotes (') identifying the string of the LIKE operator and
also the assignment operator (=) has been replaced with the proper LIKE mySQL operator
that allows for string search arguments.

Subject: [PHP] (newbi)mySQL query question
This doesn't have a huge amount to do with PHP but,
I have the following code for my SQL query:
$query = SELECT code FROM links WHERE sort_text = $letter*;
I get an error.
What I want to do is be able to specify a letter and have the rest be undefined eg
if $letter was t
I would get TecEco, Tiny, and Trailer
and if $letter was b I would get Basket and Ball.
Could any one show me the correct syntax off their heads?JJ Harrison

Re: [PHP] Complex(ish) Question for Newbie
Goody another easy to answer one :) no harm intended.. it's a perfectly good question Okay first is it sorted how you want? if so you can use the LIMIT start,len feature of mysql.. for example: select * from table_name order by col_name limit 5,10 will select records 5 to 15 (5+10) if of course there are 10 more to collect otherwise it will just return whatever it finds from the select that is ordered by col_name.. quite simple.. ::: : Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] : A.K.A.

Re: [PHP] Complex(ish) Question for Newbie
well personally I have never had a good time with mysql_num_rows.. dunno why.. never seemed to have worked the way it should for me.. anyway point is if it works for you good, otherwise do what I do to get a rowcount and just: $sql_count=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query(SELECT count(*) FROM table_name,$DB)); and then you can just refer to it via $sql_count[0]... anyways after that it depends.. what do you want to do? if for example you want a page listing system in which you have say 1000 records and you want to display only 30 per page or something and users can browse through by hitting prev page and next page etc.. that's easy to do... just be more specific on what you want to do.. ::: : Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] : A.K.A.

Re: [PHP] Who's having a good hosting experience these days? {!?}
Hmm
Brisbane eh?
Heard of Bribie Island?? Up north.. oooh, say 40mins drive 30 mins if
your speeding abit :)
Yeah.. That's me home :P
Yeah love the crap restrictions they give you on broadband here in Aus eh?
Lemme guess: Telstra? You shoulda gone with optus.. I love Telstra (dad
works for them) but Optus give you 15Gb p/m on their cable package.. So..
I'd have to weigh up telstra loyalty for value :)
Of course that's dependent on area and geo. location too...
Anywayz.. I can't get any broadband at ALL here yet.. But ADSL has been
installed in exchanges over xmas holi's and should be hopefully rolled out
for us to use soon :)
Ok well.. Hi to a fellow Aussie :) spose I should be saying something
appropriate like:
Cya later mate!

Hi..
or should I say.. Hi fellow Aussie mate .. :)
Yeah I am in oz too and asked some hosting questions a while back..
Your host has only 2GB downloads on the UNIX plan and also that's at US$15
p/m.. isnt that a tad pricey?
I was looking into powweb.com or aletia.com at much cheaper pricing and
larger services (200mb storage, 10/12Gb p/m,etc)
What do you think of these..

Cheap?
I've been with experthost.com for around 8 months, with very little to
complain about... I've got a reseller account with about 12 domains, so
i'm
paying around US$6each, and I think the standard is US$15each for one,
$10ea
for two, and then a sliding scale up to 25 domains @ $5ea or something.
It *shouldn't* be about the money, but I'm currently making a healthy
profit
out of hosting some client domains under my account.
Reliable?
They have intelligent support staff on 24/7, and they've had one service
fallout in this time. It was a biggie, and I had to reload some data
from
my local copy, but I'd like to believe this was a one-off.
Fast?
The service seems fast (although I'm in Australia, so pings times are
affected by sheer distance).
Feature Rich?
50meg, 20POPs, redirects, groups, auto-responders, 2GB bandwidth, MySQL,
webmail, recent versions of Apache/MySQL/PHP, intelligent support staff,
etc
etc.
I'm pretty happy. Better still, they offer a free 1 month test account,
so
you can try them for yourself.

lower price host then you only get lower value.

Re: [PHP] Self Destruct code
Well I share heavily with whoever the starter of this post was..
see yes.. upfront half payments are indeed much better..
but.. (and I assume here) when you are younger and have a smaller reputation
it's harder for clients to understand that.. so you usually end up with this
problem of having a site.. but like they could reject offer at last moment
or worse yet.. personal experience here 3 months ago.. you upload to their
server..
the business changes hands.. server ftp passwords change.. you lose contact
mysteriously with your contact. and voila.. pftt. in a puff of smoke.. your
hard worked site.. has no connection to you anymore.. you can't remove/touch
it.. and noone answers you..
You ring them back EVERY afternoon for a week straight... always being told
they will ring you back ASAP...
BULLSHIT.. what a load of crap...
No reply calls... No emails... Nothing.. Zilch.. and more importantly.. NO
F***ING MONEY!!!
Soo.. You have ISP bills, mobile bills, maybe rent/family/living costs (not
in my case), Uni text books, transport, webhosting etc.. and no money..
Yes.. That's a personal tale... Quite sad... But I have moved on..
It get's worse.. I was bitten twice by same client.. First site I made for
him.. Was for their main biz.. And that took like 3-4months to FINALLY get
paid.. Then I did the 2nd one.. and yeah.. you know the rest.. :(
Anyway here's a tip..
Remember.. in this kinda work... YOU'RE THE BOSS ... so go like this..
Go to the little biz you wanna do a site for.. or if you're offered that's
even better and be straight, to the point and barely flexible.. Don't let
them get you..
AND don't sell yourself cheap..
Try this: I can make you a site for $850 that will allow you to perform all
you have asked and has room for expansion later on when your company grows..
I may also charge you a small fee of $5-10 per month for maintance and
hosting costs..
the maintance fee of course is just some bonus fixed/guaranteed income per
month... 5-10 bucks is crap but once you do 50 sites.. it counts for a
little more pocket money...
Hey don't stop there..
Site I am doing now for a popular local biz (comp shop) is 650 for site,
nice a cheap once-off. and AUD$20 per month to cover their www domain name
payments and help towards my hosting..
And my hosting is SOO cheap that I could easily fit like 12 of these sites
similiar to this one on my server on my current plan.. and therefore be
making nice little profit.. :)
Anywayz.. back to your story..
Hahahah.. I must laugh.. Yes the thought occured to me without hesitation
when they f**ked me over.. but as I said.. I had not planned for it,
therefore I had no backdoor as such.. and as I had no FTP access anymore i
was well done for..
Lesson learnt: Don't mess with biz men :)
This time? Muhahahah.. Cos every site I build uses more PHP and MySQL than
you could shake a stick at anyway its quite easy for me to put a file or
just a special little function that allows me to easily.. hmmm yes.. you
got the idea...
Yeah I think it's a good idea.. Maybe not destroy (although it'd be nice)
but just render unusable..
Like it's quite simple really..
If you let's say use a header kind of file for each and every page of site
(like I do) to load up global vars and format of site etc.. than you can
haev something in there that handles it..
For a quick example:
Let's say you have your files all use (include/require) a header.php
Then in your header.php just add these lines
-
if(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[site_power])) {
if($HTTP_GET_VARS[site_power]==off) unlink(/test.tmp);
else {
$powerfile=fopen(/test.tmp,w);
fclose($powerfile);
}
}
if(file_exists(/test.tmp)) exit(This site has been temporarily disabled
due to payment complications.. Please check back soon.);
--
that's about all there is to it.. Should work fine.. Some of you may say:
USE $_GET instead but I have always used the $HTTP_*_VARS idea.. and it
works.. and it's compat with newer versions still of PHP so as far as I can
see it's all ok.. but replace if you want.. up to you..
Yeah basically just format up a little message for them... and that'll be
shown if you send the get name=value pair to ANY php file on your site
containing something like: /file.php?site_power=off
you can turn it back on with just passing on in there.. optionally you may
want to use a password kinda of idea too.. just combine md5 if you want to
do soemthing like
if(md5($HTTP_GET_VARS[site_power]))=41d67d9b067b00ed2ce76af695767644)...
..
which happens to be md5 of: mypassword_off
so you get the idea..
Well this whole thing was enlightening.. that might explain the huge email
reply I wrote :)
Cya..

Yes the general opinion seems to be: If someone can get the session handler of the PHP engine tricked so easily, or gain access so easily to your site...

The method I was thinking about before was to pass the md5 hash of the password around, as the passwords are already md5'ed in the DB. Your method seems more secure as you use a totally spiced-up and personalized encryption engine. But, the main question remains, I think. If you pass your crypted password around, then, in each page, you must check it agains't the database entry with a SIMPLE equals test. So if a user happens to get that crypted value of the password (from a temporary file on the server, for example), then all the little devil has to do is to create a dummy session user object, or in your case, array, set its password value to the stolen crypted hash and then link freely to any of your pages.

[PHP] Secure user authentication
Hmm yes good question.. Security was (still is) a major for my organisation's site and I did something a little unique and robust.. I love programming and I hate stealing (some call it borrowing) other programmer's scripts/code from the web.. therefore I write it _all_ myself.. Trust me.. Sometimes this is a dumb attitude to take such as when I created my first Perl discussion forum.. still running I think (http://the-radix.hypermart.net i think) and that consisted of this huge perl system to maintain the files etc.. for members and the forum.. Anyway! off the sub now.. I used sessions and pass around the array of columns for that member/user .. but the password is put through my own fairly unbreakable (yes.. I am serious) password key system.. An idea to make your own safe keys to pass them around or use for authenticating is simple maths and a crypt() or my preferred: md5() function.. I simply do some lovely maths like for each char of pword I loop through them and append them onto the entire pword string plus the length, get the md5 of that.. then md5 that md5 with the md5 of the previous result and then do some maths, pick some specified characters (like every 3rd or whatever you wish) .. strrev( reverse the string) md5 that again, all md5'ed again.. :) haha, you get the idea.. SO basically you'll end up with a nice 32 char string which is QUITE safe to pass around and the chance anyone's gonna decrypt it IMHO is about zilch, buckley's, zut, nil, null, zero.. And all you have to do, is when they login once, just run the password they entered through this algorithm and check it against the stored algo'd password.. Ah yes that's the next thing.. the DB passwords will also have to be proc. using your algorithm.. So it's kinda like a key security idea.. you are not meant to decrypt md5 hashes.. instead recreate it using what you are supplied and then compare both hashes.. Simple :P Ok hope that helps ::: : Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] : A.K.A.

How can we prevent any user from creating a simple PHP page that creates a simmilar user object, registers it with the session and then links to my pages? One way would be to check, in each page, for the password in the session user object and match it with the DB entry, but storing the password in the session is not advisable, as other users in the host system may have access to that information.

Unbelievably I also so this point about the string in the string without

Now back to reason why it don't work..
Okay Jenny..
Hi again :)
Next..
Do you have anything actually IN your table ({$config[prefix]}_users) ??
If so does the username in it match {$session[uid]} ??
If it doesn't and mysql_query returns a error cos a) table don't exist or b)
some other sql error such as column name wrong etc..
Then mysql_fetch_array will cough up error..
This happened when I setup your scripts on my box.. And whenever I setup any
scripts in which I don't yet have any records matching the query so
mysql_fetch_array goes nuts..
Ok.. Hope it helped..

Would you please direct your attention to this URL
http://testphp.netfirms.com/code1.html
Look at the bottom where the big orange commented syntax is
and explain what
is going on there?
$query = SELECT name FROM {$config[prefix]}_users WHERE
uid={$session[uid]};
$ret = mysql_query($query);
// this is line 14
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($ret))
.
.
.
// this is the problem area. It is giving me this sql warning Warning:
Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
/home/public_html/sortitems.php on line 14 look at top for line 14 why is it
// looking at line 14 I am not asking for any of that information?
No idea why the error message is so far down the page, but it is certainly
referring to line 14 -- it is telling you that the $ret you are supplying to
mysql_fetch_array is invalid. Why? Because the mysql_query failed, and so
$ret was not assigned valid result resource. This is why you should ALWAYS
check the return value of a mysql_query call before trying to fetch its
results.
Now, why is the query failing? Well, let's take a look at this line:
$query = SELECT name FROM {$config[prefix]}_users WHERE
uid={$session[uid]};
The stuff to the right of the = consists of:
(1) the string SELECT name FROM {$config[
(2) the constant named prefix (which, I guess, doesn't exist)
(3) the string ]}_users WHERE uid={$session[
(4) the constant named uid (ditto!)
(5) the string ]}
with NO concatenation operators in between.
This line ought to generate multiple warnings and notices -- you must have
error_reporting set to suppress all these useful messages, so I suggest you
change it to something more useful forthwith (such as E_ALL, or at least
E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE).
So, the final solution to your problem would be either of the following:
$query = SELECT name FROM {$config[\prefix\]}_users WHERE
uid={$session[\uid\]};
$query = SELECT name FROM {$config['prefix']}_users WHERE
uid={$session['uid']};
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Jeff Means CIO for PicoTech http://www.picotech.net Hi Jeff, maybe it's a good idea to create a hidden HTML-form in the output frame. In that case you can use javascript in your input frame in order to send the given values to the hidden form in your output frame. After that you can submit the hidden form using the same javascript in your input form. For example your output frame is called output To fill your hidden frame with input data: output.document.forms[0].hidden_name.value=value; I would simply create a hidden submit-button (using css display-function) You can activate this button out of javascript with: output.document.forms[0].submit.click(); It's very simple, but I think it should work.

[PHP] Better standards in PHP-coding
I don't know who you are Frank..
But I understand and support you entirely..
I could write my own 1500 word post like you..
But you've covered it all
I always see the { } pair used when there is only one statement, and also
this weird
if(expression)
{
statement
}
else
{
statement 2
}
blocks are VERY weird and hard to understand.
I prefer and use for every lang. Including C++, Object Pascal, java, PHP,
Perl:
if(expression) {
statement block
if(expression2) {
statementblock 2
}
} else {
statement if
}
in a text editor these blocks are easily read and the double spacing (not
tabs) I use makes it REALLY easy to find and track code during debugging..
sometimes I see loops in conditional statements mixed with functions and
this neverending mass of curly braces and I am very confused trying to fix
their code..
SO I try as hard as possible so suggest my method as it makes reading much
easier..
I do understand where you are coming from with your starting { being in
line
with the actual expression it refers to... Hmm yes but as I always indent
for loops, conditional expressions, etc.. anything that needs curly braces
I
will easily see that if the code doesn't return back to the first column
something is wrong
Eg..
if(exp1) {
if(exp2) {
..do that..
} else {
while(xy) {
..do this..
}
}
}
and I can clearly see the last brace finishes again on col 1.. SO i know
all
is good..
Hard in email to show as the character spacing is not equal like good text
editors..
but paste it in your editor you'll see what I mean..
Thanks for your support.. Should have more people following these readable
standards in the world!

Subject: [PHP] Better standards in PHP-coding
The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose
between.
Subject: Uses of block markers in coding
GNU recommends a standard with block-markers aligned under each other and
a
number of people - including myself - find it senseless and
counter-progressive to keep up an older standard resting from old days and
doing the programmer a disfavor.
Too many programmers continue to use a style that originates back to the
days where dumb terminals with one-line memory and line-editors was
common.
Those days it could take long time to submit a line to the mainframe. I
have tried it myself and in worst-case situations it could take up to half
a minute to submit a line.
So naturally we put more things into one line. Statements like
if (tempratureM1=tempratureSTP) {cout Warning! Cooling needed;
log(tempratureM1, Warning);};
all in one line.
When editors became a little faster people started to write:
if (tempratureM1=tempratureSTP) {
cout Warning! Cooling needed; log(tempratureM1, Warning); }
which is nicer to look at but would take many seconds more as one more
line
has to be submitted.
- - -
Nowadays few people have any problems with waiting for a CR.
But for mysterious reasons a rest from the old forced standard remains
among people who use C(++) like languages.
It is still standard to write
if (some_expression) {
statements;
...
}
What the { - the marking of the beginning of a block that should be
indented - is doing in the end of the line nobody has yet been able to
explain me.
Why, then, are functions not written as
function foo(parameter1, foo(parameter1, parameter2, ... parameterN) {
statements
...
}
?
In other block-structured languages you of course align block-markers
under
each other, allowing for easy scan.
if expression
begin
statement;
...
...
end;
I have yet to see anybody write
if expression begin
statement;
...
...
end;
- - -
Does it matter? Oh, yes it does. A lot. As teacher I know from experience
that programmers has a harder time tracking their own block with a number
of {s dancing far out of sight in the right side of the screen. This is
not a matter of experience. No experience can ever make it equally fast to
control structures based on vertically aligned block-markers contra those
where the marker can be found anywhere on a line.
As an amusing result of the weird practice it has been necessary to
recommend a standard where the { }-pair is always used, even though there
is only one statement following an if:
if ($myvarirable1*myvariable2 = myvariable3*myvariable4+114) {
oneStatement;
}
instead of simply
if ($myvarirable1*myvariable2 = myvariable3*myvariable4+114)
oneStatement;
Why the need for the extra { }s?
Of course
[PHP] Better standards in PHP-coding
Hmm sorry all
yes it seems I misread some crucial parts myself..
That whole
if(exp) {
statement
that's a load..
if you want a one-liner conditional statement do:
if(exp) statement;
and that's it.
yes also michael you are right..
I use the:
if(exp) {
blah blah
} else {
blah blah 2
}
concept as well and find it the best
that whole wasting of lines:
if(exp)
{
yabba
}
else
{
yadda
}
is terrible..
Sorry bout that guys.. Didn't really understand the message till I reread
email..

Sorry double posting.. Yes.. that's right Michael.. Both styles are correct and are parsed exactly the same.. They obviously both are part of the specifications of the PHP interpretor and structure OTHERWISE they wouldn't work would they? :P And yes, it's to do with what is more comfortable for the programmer.. As long as the programmers at the end can read it easily enough that's all that should count.. Considering that: if(exp) statement; Is quite legal in all the languages I stated before then it is quite valid to use it as I see fit..

Re: [PHP] Closing curly brackets?
No it's okay lots' of people post general HTML questions in here..
I love studying other people's..code style...
You really need to work on your style I think.. No offence but it's quite
hard to read.. I had to painstakingly (thank God it was fairly small script)
space it all out and set the format all nice so it made sense.
The hardest thing in the world I think is trying to read anothers code :)
anyway after this process I finally saw where the error most possibly is
occuring.. the formatting of my style made it really easy to pick out..
ok.. I have attached it anyway.. so it should retain it's formatting.. make
sure you have wordwrap off if your using some old text editor
I strongly suggest getting a good text editor if your planning on coding a
lot.. I use TextPad 4 and I love it.. It has full code colouring, PLENTY of
features for text-searches and replacement, macros etc... multiple files..
there are so many diff. text editors out there like it, but they are much
better than Notepad once you get the hang on them... trust me :) I used to
use Notepad for around 3-4 years for all my Javascript, Java, Turbopascal,
Perl... e.. terrible really.. hard to read..
anyways
yes I believe you are putting that closing brace in the right spot (as in
the spot you said it should work but doesn't due to the parse error) but
you unfortunately that's not where the problem lies.. You somehow have put
one TOO many closing braces further up in your code around this part:
$thisoption=;
}
}
} == one of these should be taken out
//check if form has been submitted
if($submit){
see how there's 3 closing braces?? try with two and then also put in one
where you thought you were supposed to:
echo You have $quantity of this item and it's id is $iidBR;
}
// it seems like the first while statement's closing curly bracket should go
here but if I put it here I get a pars error.
} //== This is the one you were missing..
} else {
//if the form has not been submitted run the following
?
hope it helps.. if not please email me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] would love
to find out how it goes... what are you making anyway? some kinda virtual
creature/pet game?? sounds fun :)

From Paul Burney : Hi Jennifer, The first thing you should do is properly indent your code. If you do so, you'll be sure to find the missing bracket. Basically, for each new block, tab out again. It really helps to use a programmer's editor with syntax highlighting like vim or BBEdit. Thought that was the best tutorial I could ever get. Short and sweet and oh so easy to understand. I am using HTML_Kit as it has the same features as all the othere editors (color coding and such) but it also has a lot more I can get plugins for anything I would ever need. Except a formatting tutorial ;) I will use your code as an example of formatting. It doesn't work as far as the script goes as it returns multiple: Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource. So I am going to study your formatting and start at the beginning.

I am currently with Aletia which has an excellant package good tech support but sometimes not very functional servers. My site has gone down at least 3 times within the last 20 days. Too many for me. It has to be at least 50 mb disk space, 10 to 15gig /m transfer, of course PHP and MySQL, ftp, ssh or telnet, cgi/perl, free domain transfer, at least 15 POP3 email accounts, cron support.

[PHP] Re: globals in functions
Just one thing... Is there an easier way than having to manually place global in each function...?? Other than passing by parameter? Like is it possible to actually declare var's in PHP as global? thx.. ::: Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] A.K.A.

Re: [PHP] limit posts and have a next page?
Yes I have built many a forums and product listings/search engines like this.. simply make it check using COUNT how many rows there are total.. now let's say your viewing page 1.. so we can see listing 1 - 10 therefore the first offset is 1 so the next set will logically be 11-20 so with this info: ? $page=(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[page])?$HTTP_GET_VARS[page]?1); $item_count=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query(SELECT count(*) FROM tablename,$DB)); if($item_count-$page10) echo a href=.$PHP_SELF.?page=.($page+10).Next Page /a; ? now as you can see I use $HTTP_GET_VARS[page] here so this means that the page will add in the GET var by itself as the user browses around the place.. For extra functionality: (code from before plus some new bits) ? $page=(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[page])?$HTTP_GET_VARS[page]?1); $item_count=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query(SELECT count(*) FROM tablename,$DB)); if($page10) echo a href=.$PHP_SELF.?page=.($page-10). Previous Page/a; if($item_count-$page10) echo a href=.$PHP_SELF.?page=.($page+10).Next Page /a; ? this simply adds a backward control to the form as well.. from here you can design it as you wish... generally placed in a table on bottom left and right, using this same system you can also expand it to create a numerical fast page index at the bottom with a listing of available pages (1 2 3 4 5 6) as links etc.. endless possibilities.. okay then... I hope I was able to help someone out here.. ::: Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] A.K.A.
