[PHP] Error checking ON

This is what I do for error checking:
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL | E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
ini_set('log_errors', 'On');
ini_set('error_log', 'error_log');
Is this:
1. Sufficient?
2. An overkill?
3. OK?
4. OR, better served with this (and provide an example).

That's standard practice. Sometimes, though, it isn't enough, and
we find ourselves using Derick's Xdebug, mod_top, or performing an
strace on either the execution or attached to a process. For nearly
all cases, though, that's sufficient without being overkill (except
for production cases).

But... It won't work in all cases. I find it best to set these
settings in the server itself. Not in code. Sometimes, if you have
broken code that cannot be parsed, your commands listed above will never
be executed. Therefor they will never do any good.

[PHP] Error checking on file upload
I've been working on a script for uploading a file to a Unix server. I'm
testing the script and have it coded for error messages using a switch
statement. One error that I am getting is case 2 The file is bigger than this
form allows and I am wondering what might cause me to get the error for case 1
The file is bigger than this PHP installation allows.
Thank you,

In your php.ini there are settings for upload_max_filesize and also

Thanks a bunch. Must have been dead brain today. I knew that as well as
could look it up using phpinfo().

NOW I have to validate after it's submitted. I am trying to look and
see, if $_POST[$row['q_name']] is empty then make message of the same
name = 1, so if
if(empty($_POST['partners'])) {
$message['partners'] = '1'
}
Then when I restate the dropdown function, and it shows the questions
again, those error checking things I built in will
a) show a div class=error around questions with a message
b) pre-select the previously selected answers (because I have put
in the thing in the dropdown which says
if ($row['q_name'] == $ans_row['a_id']) { echo selected;}
The validate code I was trying, the subject of such howling on IRC
(and I know it doesn't work, but not why) was:
function ValidatePost($cat){
//first get the q_names
$sql = SELECT * FROM questions WHERE q_cat=$cat;
$result = mysql_query($sql);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

You want $message = 1 here. = = is for comparison.
You're setting $message inside a function. This means it doesn't exist
outside this scope!
}
}
}//function ValidatePost
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Re: [PHP] error checking woes- SOLVED
I did the smart thing last night: nothing. I read some PHP books and
then realized that the answer to my error checking was a lot less
complex, once again, than I had initially suspected. I finally ended up
with:
//error checking
foreach($_POST as $qname=$value) {
if(empty($value)){
$message[$qname]=1;
}
}
I cannot believe what I started with and what I ended up with.
Thanks as usual for the help!!

[PHP] error checking a null array
hi,
I have checkboxes beging dynamically generated. to seperate tasks in
error checking I have added he arrays not just to $_POST but to
$_POST[cb] so names (derived from question numbers) are for example:
$_POST[cb][7]
A dump of $_POST would therefore include something like
[cb]= array(1) { [7]= array(1) { [0]= string(3) 124 } }
So I did this:
//error checking for checkboxes
foreach ($cb as $cbkey = $cbvalue)
{
foreach($cbvalue as $cbkey2=$cb_answers)
{
if( !array_key_exists($_POST[$cbkey], $cb));
{
$message[$cbkey]=1;
}
}
}
This almost works. The problem is that if someone doesn't check a
checkbox, NOTHING related to the checkbox gets sent to $_POST; if I
insert a hidden value of something, then that hidden value gets passed
whether the user inputs something or not, since I need an entirely
server-side solution. Is there a way to send something to tell the error
checker whether for example $_POST[cb][7] is empty or null, so I can set
the error message to one if it's empty?
Dump of $_POST with no checkboxes checked
$_POST:
array(4) { [action]= string(7) process [cat]= string(1) 2
[rs]= array(3) { [5]= string(0) [6]= string(0) [9]=
string(0) } [b]= string(8) Continue }
Dump of $_POST with checkboxes checked
array(5) { [action]= string(7) process [cat]= string(1) 2
[cb]= array(2) { [7]= array(5) { [0]= string(1) 3 [1]=
string(3) 124 [2]= string(3) 125 [3]= string(3) 127 [4]=
string(3) 131 } [8]= array(3) { [0]= string(3) 141 [1]=
string(3) 145 [2]= string(1) 4 } } [rs]= array(3) { [5]=
string(0) [6]= string(0) [9]= string(0) } [b]=
string(8) Continue }
Thanks so much In advance

Re: [PHP] error checking woes
Okay, last attempt before I hit my head against wall. I thought perhaps
to add the error check to the dropdown function itself:
function GetQuestionsDropdown($cat){
//first get all the questions
$sql = SELECT * FROM questions WHERE questions.q_cat=$cat AND
questions.q_style=1;
$result = mysql_query($sql);
//now one-by-one go through the questions
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
//if the form has been submitted, and the question unanswered
//highlight this whole question and answer block in red.
if ($message[$row['q_name']] == 1){
echo div class='error';
}
//Make a question set div wrapper
echo div class='q_set'\n;
//State the question
echo div class='question';
echo $row['q_text'] . /div;
echo \n\n;
echo div class='answer';
echo \n;
//Create the dropdown for the answers
echo ' select name=' . $row['q_name'] . '';
echo \n;
//get all of the answers for THIS question
$ans_sql = select * from answers where answers.q_id= . $row['q_id'];
$ans_result = mysql_query($ans_sql);
echo option value=\\Select from this list/option\n;
while($ans_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ans_result)) {
//list the answers for THIS question
echo option ;
echo value=\ . $ans_row['a_id'] . \;
if ($row['q_name'] == $ans_row['a_id']) {
echo selected;
}
echo . $ans_row['a_answer'] . /option;
echo \n;
}
echo ' /select' . \n . ' /div' . \n;
echo /div!--q_set--\n\n;

Hi,
Now that the drop down is working properly (thanks!!), I am trying to
validate, and having LOTS of trouble. After being ceaselessly derided
last night on an irc channel for my dimwitedness, I am still not any
closer.
The code which works is this:
function GetQuestionsDropdown($cat){
//first get all the questions
$sql = SELECT * FROM questions WHERE questions.q_cat=$cat AND
questions.q_style=1;
$result = mysql_query($sql);
//now one-by-one go through the questions
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
//if the form has been submitted, and the question unanswered
//highlight this whole question and answer block in red.
if ($message[$row['q_name']] == 1){
echo div class='error';
}
//Make a question set div wrapper
echo div class='q_set'\n;
//State the question
echo div class='question';
echo $row['q_text'] . /div;
echo \n\n;
echo div class='answer';
echo \n;
//Create the dropdown for the answers
echo ' select name=' . $row['q_name'] . '';
echo \n;
//get all of the answers for THIS question
$ans_sql = select * from answers where answers.q_id= . $row['q_id'];
$ans_result = mysql_query($ans_sql);
echo option value=\\Select from this list/option\n;
while($ans_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ans_result)) {
//list the answers for THIS question
echo option ;
echo value=\ . $ans_row['a_id'] . \;
if ($row['q_name'] == $ans_row['a_id']) {
echo selected;
}
echo . $ans_row['a_answer'] . /option;
echo \n;
}
echo ' /select' . \n . ' /div' . \n;
echo /div!--q_set--\n\n;
//If there *was* an error div, close it
if (sizeof($message[$row['q_name']])){
echo /div!--/error--;
}
}
}//function GetQuestionsDropdown
NOW I have to validate after it's submitted. I am trying to look and
see, if $_POST[$row['q_name']] is empty then make message of the same
name = 1, so if
if(empty($_POST['partners'])) {
$message['partners'] = '1'
}
Then when I restate the dropdown function, and it shows the questions
again, those error checking things I built in will
a) show a div class=error around questions with a message
b) pre-select the previously selected answers (because I have put in

Re: [PHP] Error checking - Fixed
But I have no idea how. I made a series of changes trying to figure out what I missed. Most of the changes didn't look like they'd do anything - but the error reporting started working. I then tried changing things back - at least I thought I did. The error checking continued to work. I *HATE* it when I have a problem I can't put my finger on. The important thing is that it is working, though. I want to thank those who helped me out. ---Michael Michael Satterwhite wrote: I'm using Apache and PHP4 under debian. in /etc/php4/apache, I have the setting error_reporting = E_ALL ~E_NOTICE but I don't get any errors - even when I've clearly used an undefined variable.

You will only see warnings and fatal errors.

What about error checking if the file contains something as I include below? Is that enough? Is this the right way?

$filename = /usr/local/something.txt;
$handle = fopen ($filename, r);
if(!$handle) die('could not open file for reading');
