[PHP] Re: Using Header() to pass information...
On 2006-04-22, Todd Cary [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If I use if ($send) header(location: mypage.php?message= . $message); the data ($message) is passed in the URL. Is there a way to pass the data as though it was a POST method i.e. not in the URL? It's impossible to change the HTTP method. So if your user-agent is performing a GET request, a location header would result in another GET request. Thus, unless you are using a POST method (which is odd since you wrote that the variables are in the URL) it's not possible. What you could do is write it into $_SESSION (and call session_write_close before you redirect) Or you could stuff it yourself in $_POST and include/require mypage.php Btw, there are browsers that don't handle a relative URL for redirection very well. I suggest that you use an absolute URL (as written in RFC2616 section 14.30) -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Tim Van Wassenhove http://timvw.madoka.be -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

preg_match_all() is what you want to use. You can easily match
everything up to the time since it's formed with a :00 at the end
each time.
If i'm not mistaken, preg_split on \d{0,2}:\d{2}

Another odd thing is that the permissions on the files are set to -rw--- and owned by apache. I can do a chmod on them to get them readable, but chown doesn't appear to work to change ownership. I believe you have to be root to perform chown.

Not going to do your homework, but will give you some hints: it seems your function accepts an array as parameter, and returns a new array. to find the largest number, you could say the first number in the array is the current biggest. And then you loop through all the values, and remember the array number when you meet a value that is greater than the current biggest.

The default location for php to store session data is the tmp directory of the host os (like /tmp), and in most cases these files are readable by the webserver... and by all other scripts it's running. So if you're hosting your site on a shared server other users can read your session data, that's fine as long as you don't use it to store critical information like username, password If others can read from your session.save_path, i'm pretty sure they'll be able to read the credentials you use in the scripts to connect the database too.

The works, but it will require
N, NNW, NNE, NE, NW, ENE, NWW... many IF statements.
Can anyone think of a programatically more elegant and efficient way of
converting this type of data? (I suppose this is not really a problem,
just a curiosity.)
Might need some corrections, but the idea should be clear:
function degrees2compass($degrees)
{
$compass = array('N', 'NNW', 'NNE', 'NE', ...);
$index = $heading_degrees / sizeof($compass);
return $compass[$index];
