Subject: Re: [PHP] php 4.3.7/5.0

 I've noticed that in the last release of php 4.3.7 (or 5.0.0), that
 when checking the value of a variable has changed.

 ex:

 if($var){ /* do something */ }

 doesn't work anymore. I've had to change code to

 if($var  0)

 but the problem is, what if $var was converted to $var = 0 instead
 of $var = 0 somewhere throughout the code that I didn't know about?

 Is there a way to be sure what's going on here?

What about the isset function? Or any of the following:

Subject: [PHP] How can I write/read encoded numbers into/from a file?

I'm just starting with PHP, and I've been browsing the whole manual to 
find how to solve the following problem:

1. An integer number is internally represented in 4 bytes. Say, for 
instance, number 65 is represented by 0x0041, that is the string 
\0\0\0\0x41, and not the string 65.
2. How can I write this representation into a file and then read back it 
from the file?

Do you have any idea about this?

Thank you,


Sergio.

Re: [PHP] Link only active letters in alphabetical search

I doubt this function is going to make your script more efficient, but you could also 
make use of the array_intersect () function.

Subject: [PHP] Link only active letters in alphabetical search

hello.

in an effort to more easily find products in the cart i'm building
i've given the ability to the user to click a letter from the alphabet
to search for all products whose product id starts with that letter.

currently each letter is hyper linked but i'd like to only link the
letters that have an occurrence in the database. in other words, if
there are no products in the database that start with the letter 'Z'
then i don't want it to have a hyper link.

i'm writing to the list to share my solution to this problem and
hopefully find a better way to do it (if one exists).

here is my solution:

1. pull a list of products from the database
2. truncate each product id down to it's first letter
3. remove all the duplicates
4. use this list to build the links.

as i loop through the alphabet i will only write a link for those
letters that occur in modified list. everything else will just be a
non-linked letter.

it's a pretty easy solution (concerning the logic behind it) but i
don't know if it's the best one and i haven't been able to come up
with anything else.


thanks,
chris.

Re: [PHP] Re: Testing if cookies are enabled

2004-06-22 Thread deseavers
Reading Aidan's e-mails is like watching a Disney movie.  You can't help but feel warm 
and fuzzy inside and loving toward the whole world.

Basically, create a page with an HTML form that takes the user name and password (or 
whatever login information you think is appropriate).  The action of the form could be 
the next page, which sets the cookie.  However, if you just want to have personalized 
data based on the login, you have some other options, such as sessions and, even 
better in my opinion, accessing records in a database.

Aidan, in his loving way, pointed you to a good starting point for setting cookies: if 
you haven't read the manual, it migh be helpful.

Think about it.

Step 1) Analyse the problem.
a) Set a cookie.
b) Test if the cookie has been set.
c) Display data from cookie

Step 2) Read the fucking manual
a) http://php.net/setcookie
b) http://php.net/setcookie
c) http://php.net/setcookie

If you can't work it out, and have actually done some reading, feel free to
ask for some more help.

 Hello!

 I saw this on some pages and want to do the same:

 - On one page the user can login. Before that no cookie is set!

 - On the next page they set the cookie and show either the user data or
 a warning that the user has disabled cookies and should enable them.

 I wasn't able to set and text a cookie on the same page! How is it done?

 Martin

Re: [PHP] Bulk table updates

2004-06-03 Thread deseavers
Use a SELECT query to get the values (SELECT * FROM table) and a table that has form 
input fields in the cells.  The values for the form fields would be based on the array 
you get from the SELECT query.  The form could be something like form 
action=?=$PHP_SELF ? method=post.  In the script, before the body, you would 
have an if statement to check whether the submit button for the form is set; if it is 
set, it will run an INSERT INTO query:

if (isset ($submit)) {
$query = INSERT INTO . . . ;
$query_result = @mysql_query ($query);
}

If the form is submitted, then the values in all the form fields (including any 
changes) will go into the database.  If it's not submitted, the current values will be 
displayed in the tabled-embedded form.  Actually, I think if the form is submitted, it 
will redisplay with the new values as defaults.

Hopefully this will work, or lead you in the right direction.

I am looking for a tutorial or a already created class or file that I can
use to learn how to create a form that is populated from a database table
that can be edited in every row and column and takes only 1 SAVE button to
upload all the changes.

Thanks,
Robert

Clearly, your efforts were less than successful.  (I would have responded earlier, but 
I only really knew -- rather than really, really knew -- what I was talking about.)

   Please don't reply if you really, really don't know what you are talking
   about.
 
  What kind of requirement is this? Anyone can reply your email and
  they will do so if they feel like it.
 
 
 The reason I added that at the bottom was to stop people like yourself
 replying, not that I don't appreciate your advice, I think you're simply not
 aware of the facts.
 
the birds and bees? sure I know about them... and again you're
being vague on what facts your refering to.
