RE: [PHP] JavaScript Enabled?
Can anyone suggest a suitable means for detecting if a client browser has JavaScript enabled or not?

Er ... how do you generate a JS error with a JS disabled browser? I don't think there is a 100% reliable way of detecting server side whether a client browser has disabled javascript. However what you could do is to use a script/script block to spit out javascript enabled code using document.write() which will be ignored by disabled clients and then use noscript/noscript tags to enclose whatever stuff is necessary for the disabled clients?

RE: [PHP] Alternatives to Flush()
I do have a database and have considered using it in conjunction with cron. However, I don't like the disconnected nature of the solution. There could be up to a minute delay before cron picks up the request. There's got to be another method similar to using flush(), that causes the lengthy processing to immediately start as well as redirecting the visitor to another page. Hi Ron Well if it is really critical that the batch job runs within seconds of being requested by the web process then you have several alternatives apart from using database/cron ... here's a few examples with various levels of simplicity of implementation... . Kick off a cli script to run the batch job using exec() or similar.. . Implement a web service using XML-RPC or SOAP - i.e. call an API on the XML-RPC/SOAP server and let it do its stuff... . Have a custom background script listening on a socket - send a request to that socket from your web page... . IPC through shared memory... . probably loads more...

Here's some quick comments..
. You need enctype=multipart/form-data on your form for file uploads
. Watch out for max file size being exceeded -- check the php manual on
'Handling file uploads'
. If register_globals is off on your server you'd better start looking at
using the $_FILES superglobal (check the manual)
. use move_uploaded_file(...) rather than copy(...)

RE: [PHP] PHP's MySQL Query Length Limit? (Long SQL failing!)
I have a script that accepts large files (images) and inserts them into a MySQL table. The images are manipulated and whatnot, no problems at all getting the image into a string and running addslashes() on it. Then I go and use it with a mysql query. This is something I've coded dozens of times, but now there's a twist. The files are bigger than I've ever worked with. In theory, I didn't think there would be a problem, but there is.

So your telling me that all variables defined in the global scope are

Not true I think
no. read the documentation, in full.
you're right - I'm sorry I hadn't read it in full...
The soluction to your problem was resolved from the first reply (by

to you, which seems to be the problem.
Yes, however I was simply asking Chris to explain to me more as it didn't
make sense to me (because I hadn't read the manual fully). I mistakenly
expected the $_SESSION array to hold copies of assigned data not references
to the global namespace variable ... my expectations were based on PHP's
current default behaviour of pass by copy rather than by reference.
It seems with globals on it can become a minefield eg below where a script
happens to define and use a variable with the same name as an entry in the
$_SESSION array...
?
// script_a.php - developed by dev A
session_start();
$_SESSION['test'] = 'dev A saves some data';
header('Location : script_b.php');

// script_b.php - developed by dev B

$test = 'I am another variable in the global scope that happens to have the

. Your string variable needs to be defined and referenced as $string not
just string - unless this is a typo in your post
. fwrite() returns an int - you are assigning this int to $contents - what
exactly are you expecting $contents to be set to?
. Does your user or web server process have the permissions to create files
in the directory?
. What does readfile('sandrew.html'); after your fclose($fp) return?

Subject: [PHP] Counting table fields having specific values
I have a table where the row named hide can have a value 0 or 1.
I want to obtain a count of all the rows where hide has value 0.
The following works on mysqladmin:
SELECT SUM( hide = 0 ) FROM `names` LIMIT 0, - 1
Giving
SUM( hide = 0 )
7
The PHP script statements generated are:
$sql = 'SELECT SUM( hide = 0 ) FROM `names` LIMIT 0, -1';
$result = mysql_query($sql);
What assignment statement do I need to write now to obtain the SUM value
as shown by mysqladmin please?

Ok.
I think that the getter is *totally* wrong but I'm not able to debug
it, because it's private (I think...). Also the stringConvert() method
sucks, maybe I'll split it in some others accessor methods, for a
better design.
Now I'm totally lost, I don't have a clue how to continue, I've tried
for hours and hours to make it work, but didn't succeed :(
Any suggestion on improving and other enhancment for a good form
validating class is really really appreciated.

info is used to query my database, but it's not working. I don't get any
errorrs and it appears every thing worked, but nothing gets displayed (see

correct in the address bar of my browser. The query below also works if I
use the command line in MySQL and hard code the information.
Any help is appreciated.

$query = select tmanager.idn, tmanager.total, troster.idp, user, position,
points from troster join treference
join tmanager where tmanager.idn=treference.idn and
treference.idp=troster.idp and tmanager.name like '$name' and
troster.player like '$from';

while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($results, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo $line[idn];
echo $line[total];
echo $line[idp];
echo $line[position];

This just displays an empty page. So it appears the query found nothing, but
like I said, it works from the command line and there should be one entry

RE: [PHP] Different output on two different servers
Steve
Not quite clear on your problem - did you run an ALTER TABLE on your MySQL
table or just an INSERT of a new row? Assuming it was the former, all I can
say is look at the code that populates the $cat_array variable to see if the
underlying query would have been affected by the alter table command...
Does the query that populates $cat_array run OK if executed directly in
MySQL?

Subject: [PHP] Different output on two different servers
Hi all,
I have set-up a production server and a live server. The problem is with
the production server. I am using PHP version 4.2.3 and MySQL 3.23.39 on
both servers. We have just configured the production server to mimick
the live server (which incidentally works fine) and the code from both
servers is identical. I dumped all the data into the production MySQL
database then copied the code from the live server to our production one
and there didn't seem to be any problems. However today my boss asked
for a new category to go into our webshop with a new product. I went
into MySQL and updated the database fine then when I went to check the
section of the site to see if the extra category and product are there I
get my own PHP encoded error 'No categories currently available'. It
fails on the first function:
function display_categories($cat_array)
{
//display all categories in the array passed in
if (!is_array($cat_array))
{
echo brNo categories currently available.br;
}
else
{
//create table
echo table width = \760\ border='0'
background='images/shopbg.gif';
etc.
Now it works superbly on my live server and did work fine until I tried
adding another field to the database on the production server. Where
should I start looking to de-bug this?

Subject: [PHP] Bizarreness with htmlentities() and other things
Hello!
I'm currently doing some work that requires a mySQL database of actor
names. For all my actors, I have three columns; first_name, last_name and
between_name. Because between_name can be written in many ways (Peter van
Wibble or Fred d'Angelo), and the French have a habit of writing their
surnames in capitals, I wrote a little function to prepare the actor names
for output:
?
function actor_name($last,$middle,$first) {
// because we have so many different name combinations, write out a string
// that does capitalisation and the like properly (hopefully)
// ex: actor_name(ANGELO,d',Jean-Pierre) = Jean-Pierre d'Angelo
// strtolower() everything because ucwords() doesn't work on mixed case
$last=strtolower($last);
$middle=strtolower($middle);
$first=strtolower($first);
// split hyphenated names so we can ucwords() them
if (strpos($last,-)) {
$lasthyphen=true;
$last=ereg_replace(-, ,$last);
} else { $lasthyphen=false; }
if (strpos($first,-)) {
$firsthyphen=true;
$first=ereg_replace(-, ,$first);
} else { $firsthyphen=false; }
// if the middle name doesn't end with an apostrophe, add a space and
// lowercase it just in case someone's mis-typed it
if (!strrpos($middle,')) {
$middle.= ;
}
$last=ucwords($last);
$first=ucwords($first);
if ($lasthyphen==true) { $last=ereg_replace( ,-,$last); }
if ($firsthyphen==true) { $first=ereg_replace( ,-,$first); }
return htmlentities($first $middle$last);
}
?
Thing is, I'm getting bizarre behaviour where some characters become
modified in a way I don't like - in particular, when the letter L follows
an E with a diaresis (Raphaël, for example) it becomes upper case.
Suggestions, anyone?
And if anyone wants to make that code shorter and more readable, I'd
appreciate it greatly. :-)
James.

RE: [PHP] ignoring client supplied session data
I know I'm late in on this thread but Ignoring cookies is easy - just don't set them and don't use any data in $_COOKIE[]... or am I missing your point? $_COOKIE[] data should be treated with far more caution than $_SESSION[] i.e. it should be treated as hostile data. If you really have to recognise users coming back to your site after their session has timed out then store the bare minimum in the cookie e.g. an encrypted User ID. You can then use that to look up their information in a database table and deal with their profile accordingly. Users can switch off cookie support at any time or delete/tamper with cookies so don't make your code reliant on the stuff stored in them... In effect it is up to you what you save and process from persistent cookies... HTH Rich -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I'm not worried about them using the query string for malicious purposes- I have register_globals off...

RE: [PHP] using cookies
Ken Do *not* use hidden form statements or cookies to store any SQL this is extremely dangerous and a relatively simple hack could destroy your database completely! By all means use hidden form fields to store row ID values but your PHP scripts should treat all user input data via $_GET/$_POST/$_COOKIE/$_FILES as hostile and you should be rigorous in validating that data coming into your script is as you would expect... Having said that it seems your server has magic_quotes_gpc() switched on - this automatically escapes all incoming data that could upset a SQL query i.e. the quotes - you can remove them by using stripslashes() or switch off magic quotes in your php.ini file. But I would repeat *don't* continue down the path you are going unless you like being hacked!

This is a trivial question - what function can I use to automatically
proceed to some link, one that can be executed without any user input.
header('Location: http://www.newurl.blah')
How can we, most efficiently, send all the data (variables) from one
page to another?
Many ways... here's some ... Query string, Sessions, Form Post hidden vars
Also, would you happen to know, as PHP is very often used in forms, how
to generate a radiobutton, which when clicked upon automatically
proceeds and does not need a Submit button?
use javascript - onclick=this.form.submit()

I don't know which version of PHP you are using but if v4.2.x upwards then
use session_start() and the $_SESSION[] superglobal array instead of
