[PHP] Is Function Constants the Correct Term?
Hi everyone,
I have been experimenting with defining functions as constants.
Below is what I am using to test Function Constants:
pre
?
define(LOGIN,user);
define(PASS,pass);
define(DB,mysql);
define(DBLOGIN,dblogin(LOGIN,PASS,DB));
DBLOGIN;
$set = mysql_query(Select user FROM user limit 1,1);
$results = mysql_fetch_array($set);
echo Results: ,$results[user];
define(DBLOGIN,dblogin(user,incorrect_pass,DB));
DBLOGIN;
//Should print error
$set = mysql_query(Select user FROM user limit 1,1);
$results = mysql_fetch_array($set);
echo Results: ,$results[user];
function dblogin($login,$pass,$db)
{
$mysql = mysql_connect(localhost,$login,$pass);
mysql_select_db($db,$mysql);
}
?
/pre
I would like to know what the right term for this kind of constant
since a search for function constants php
did not return any relevant results.
I would also like to know why I was able to redefine DBLOGIN, I always
thought redefining constants could
not be done.
Thanks in advance.

[PHP] GD Support without Recompiling?
Hello everyone, Much to my surprise for Windows XP, to get GD Support, All I had to do was copy some files, edit a configuration file and restart the Web Server.

[PHP] Realm Based Authentication Problem with webhost ( Yahoo domain )
Hi all,
I'm trying to implement HTTP User Authentication for some files but
not directories.
Below is the following script I am using to test HTTP User
Authentication:
if ($PHP_AUTH_USER != user || $PHP_AUTH_PW != pass)
{
// visitor has not yet given details, or their
// name and password combination are not correct
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=Realm-Name');
header(HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized);
echo h1Go Away!/h1;
echo You are not authorized to view this resource.;
}
else
{
// visitor has provided correct details
echo h1Here it is!/h1;
echo pI bet you are glad you you can see this secret page.;
}
The works on localhost but it doesn't work when uploaded to my Yahoo
domain.
Please keep in mind that I am talking about Yahoo's Small Business
Webhosting and not Geocities Webhosting.
Yahoo does provide Authentication but only for directories and not
individual files.
just wondering if there's another way.
Thanks in advance.

[PHP] Handling Randomly Updated XML Feeds
Hello everyone, Say, I want to retrieve the Today's XML Feed from site A but site A updates their XML Feed on random days. Also, this XML Feed might have 2 items with the Same Date.

[PHP] Null Variables after session_register() ( Radio Inputs Problem )
Apologies if this has been asked before,
I'm experiencing problems with Session Variables and Radio Inputs

For some reason, after I use session_register(number) where

If I don't use session_register(number), $number IS NOT NULL.
I did not see any difference with checkbox inputs either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

[PHP] How to Calculate Similarity Percentage with Levenshtein function
Hi,
I'm trying to obtain the similarity percentage for 2 Strings when using
the Levenshtein function but the percentages doesn't seem to match the
percentage
returned by similar_text($str1,$str2,$match_percent);
Below is what I use to calculate the similarity percentage
$dist = levenshtein($str1,$str2);
$str1len = strlen($str1);
$str2len = strlen($str2);
if($str1len $str2len)
{
$pct = ($str1len - $dist)/$str1len;
}
else
{
$pct = ($str2len - $dist)/$str2len;
}
$pct = $pct*100;
What am I missing from the calculation?
Thanks.
