Hay all,
I have a script that needs to be able to choose between 3 different

There's really no need for a function. Most ANSI standard SQL servers will
allow you to specify databases on the fly in your queries.
So say you had a pulldown menu
<SELECT name="database">
<OPTION value="db1">Database 1</OPTION>
<OPTION value="db2">Database 2</OPTION>
<OPTION value="db3">Database 3</OPTION>
</SELECT>
With this the name of the database will be transfered to the $database
variable upon the form being submitted.
Then:
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $database.table_name");
Will run a query on the appropriate database...of course this format is
assuming that all the table names will be identical, although if you do have
different table names for each database it's very easy to change that
dynamically as well.
Sincerely,
Craig Vincent

I have this small test page, below, which returns an error -
Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test.php on line 4
on the $browser line, if I comment it out, it returns an error on the $ip
line, etc. I can leave all the php lines out, add an echo statement
<? echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT ?>
in the body to get the http_user_agent and it displays the user agent just
fine. What have I done wrong in such a simple bit of code?
-------------------------
<html><head><title></title></head>
<body>
<?
$browser = $HTTP_USER_AGENT;
$ip = $REMOTE_ADDR ;
$db = mysql_connect ( "localhost" , "username" , "password" );

This is interesting. I did my testing in Opera 5.05 and it fails to display
the page correctly. I then opened Netscape 6.2 and it works fine. Must be a
problem with Opera. I also set Opera to identify itself as Netscape and it
still failed to load the page.
Thanks for the assistance.

The easiest way is to use an SQL query like this;
update your_table set timestamp_field=null;
This sets the timestamp to the current time automagically. You can of
course add a where clause and so on to this query.

Hello, I see all the ways to compile the tarball on a raq 3
for php after one installs freetype/gd and has mysql
well, what about the rpm?
Since I have mysql installed, after I get gd/freetype up
will the rpm know what to do to incorporate them? Or would I still
have to modify certain files?
For those that have used linux rpm's instead of using the
tarball and compiling with make, ./configure ...

RPM is good if everything is installed by RPM.
Otherwise, RPM won't know that you have dependencies installed, and will
fail.

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to extract data from a single variable.
I'll explain:
The variable contains somthing that look like: #@data1#@data2#@data3
What I would like to do is check the data between the #@'s so I can compare
data1, 2 and 3 with a another variable. The next this I would like to be
able to do is count the #@'s so I can seen how many items there are in the
variable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello!
This is my first post, so bare with me. I'm trying to use PHP together with
some XML files to create an array of elements and values. This, looking at
the examples seemed fairly reasonable.
After recompiling Apache/PHP using --with-xml everything seems fine. I am
using Solaris 2.6, Apache 1.3.12 and PHP 4.0.4 and I gather PHP will use
Expat from this version of Apache, All fine!
Now when I run any script that uses the XML parser (My script and any
example ones) I seem to get a segmentation error in the Apache error log. A
bit of the error log is shown below:
[Tue Nov 27 10:10:26 2001] [notice] child pid 5757 exit signal Segmentation
Fault (11)
[Tue Nov 27 10:10:26 2001] [notice] child pid 5778 exit signal Segmentation
Fault (11)
[Tue Nov 27 10:12:47 2001] [notice] child pid 5780 exit signal Segmentation
Fault (11)
[Tue Nov 27 10:13:56 2001] [notice] child pid 5755 exit signal Segmentation
Fault (11)
Now, to be honest I havn't got a clue 'Segmentation Fault' is, so I can't
really work out how to fix this problem.
Has anybody got any ideas???
Thanks for your help!

Doesn't php take care of the last 2 already?
As I know you don't have to serialize manually, php will do it, you
just have to make sure that the class's definition is loaded before
session_start is used.

As a Newbe to PHP, I need to print reports. I'd like to stay away from
PDF but will use it if necessary.
In general, what seems to be the best way to print reports??????
It would be nice when they ask for a report it would brint in the report
window that allows them to select the printer, number of copies, print
quality etc.
Thanks for your help...

what type of reports ???
if you really want to print it using a common printer i suggest that you
go for PDF...
if your type of reports are server log reports you can use GD or ImageMagick

This really is becoming a faq. A search will come up with more information.
Short anwer:
You could write the report to the browser, use a new window if you have to.
PHP=serverside and cannot print on your local printer..
I think you could create a javascript to handle the printing..
If it's from a local source like a MySQL database you could use a report
generator --> seach the web.. they do exist.. www.google.com will be a good
point to start.

One way to do it, I think is use XML/XSL. I have never done it before
though (I use PDF's myself, but would like to get away from it).. Could
anyone with some real-world experience with this elaborate, please?

What kind of reports? Your question is so general it can't be answered
except by saying ...
Send the report, to a new browser window if you wish, and then use the
browser's controls to print the sucker.Why re-invent what already exists?

There are so many reports.
The system I have is a manufacturing system, and currently contains some
400 programs.
Some examples of reports are:
Bill of Lading with bar codes
Production reports
Management and analysis
Labels for lab analysis with bar codes
Planning reports
Quality assurance
Preventative maintenance work orders
Warehouse Planning
Billing
And others
Some of these are reports long, but I guess most are less than 20 pages.
Most of the sites that use the system are small and usually have from
200 to 500 terminals and have systems that manage multiple printers. So
they would like to direct the printed output.
Like just about everyone, I'd like them to use more interactive stuff on
the system. But users want their reports...
HTH.
Thanks again for the help.

I do this a lot. If you want to use just the browser and server abilities
without introducing the complexities of PDF/XML/XSLT and such, it is not too
hard. I have done PDF, Standard Text and HTML to the browser and I have
printed directly to a printer from the server using PHP.
First, is the site a Corporate intranet where the server knows about all of
the shared printers connected to the network? Or, is the site accessed over
the internet? If it's a Corporate intranet then you can create reports and
submit them to the appropriate spooler. On Unix this is easy. I'm not sure
about Windows. You can gather a list of available printers and create a
little form that allows the user to select which printer to send the report
to.
If the site is over the internet then create the report in a separate window
that is divided into two frames. The top frame will consist of close and
print buttons. The second will contain the report and a JavaScript function
that performs the printing. The print button in the top frame, when pushed,
will execute the print function in the bottom frame.
The print function sets focus on the report and then executes this.print().
The print dialogue box will automatically pop up and the user can select
their own printer along with number of copies, etc. If you use HTML you can
even set page breaks (in IE5 anyway).
Have fun,
Dean

Subject: [PHP] Printing Reports
As a Newbe to PHP, I need to print reports. I'd like to stay away from
PDF but will use it if necessary.
In general, what seems to be the best way to print reports??????
It would be nice when they ask for a report it would brint in the report
window that allows them to select the printer, number of copies, print
quality etc.
Thanks for your help...
Dan.

So, is this a system that's being moved from workstations, a desktop
interface, to a web-based interface?
Do you want a web interface to select printers?
Do you want tight formatting control over the report? There are big
differences between a 20 pg mfg report, a bill of lading with bar code, and
label for lab analysis. We're spoiled by all the top quality report
generators out there, which work on the desktop.
Or, using the lab analysis example, would it work like this:
User brings up the page
Fills in the form
Presses "Submit" and the request gets written to the database.
Confirmation comes back, displaying the submitted information with:
1. list of available printers
2. field for # of copies
3. Submit button.
Here's the guess ...
Click on submit, and the script makes an exec() calling the appropriate
function in the application to print the report on a given printer with the
selected set of parameters. Or bypasses the application altogether to have
the report writer do the same thing.
What about checking MSFT's BizTalk stuff? There may be some XML stuff there
which does that?

Thanks Dean;
I like your idea a lot.
They happen to be internet.
If you have example code on your solution it would save me some time.
Thanks again...
I'm gonna try it.

Well I guess it's like most applications. Every print job has it's own
special requirements.
For example the lab analysis report. When the manufacturing process
starts on a liquid process, they request certain samples. Samples
consist of lab analysis they should take and how often they should take
a sample. Most samples consist of about 10 to 12 analysis and are
usually taken every 20 minutes to 1/2 hr. A process may last a couple
days. So if they take a sample every 1/2 hour for 2 days that's 96
samples at 10 analysis each or around 1000 lab analysis. So the system
will print 96 labels with 10 bar coded analysis on it. The labels are
sent to the operations area. As they take a sample they affix a label to
the bottle and send it to the lab. The lab does the analysis, enters the
result and wands the proper analysis bar code on the bottle. The bottle
then goes to the next lab analysis area. Most lab work is automated and
a dry lab such as gas chromatography and automatic absorption units. The
bottle enters a conveyor, the analysis is done and the bar code scanned
as it passes the scan area. The data is then sent automatically with the
bar code information to the system. Since the bar code scanner can't
know exactly what bar code to read a bar code to the bar code is also on
the sample.
This report is not as complicated as most, but it may help give you some
idea of what is needed.
Some reports need fairly exact font and line control and others are just
text files.
Thanks again for all the help..

Hi,

PHP is a server side programming language and it does not execute in the
browser.
What you are doing here is including php code fragment and telling the
broswer it is Javascript.
IE is forgiving about "<%" and ignores it, but Netscape throws a Javascript
error (as it should).
Once again, PHP is executed on the server side.

I don't get what you are trying to do. Does test.php contain JavaScript
that you are trying to execute? If so, then test.php should be called
test.js, and should look something like this:
function (blah) {
var foo = blah;
document.write(foo);
}
If test.php is a PHP document that you're trying to execute, then your main
document should look like this:
<?
include("test.php");
?>
...and it should be called something like myDocument.php.
The problem is that PHP is a server-side language and you're trying to
force it to execute like a browser-side language. It won't work.
<?rant
IE is far too forgiving of the inclusion of bad code, which is why I never
recommend that it be used for testing purposes -- in my experience,
developers who develop for IE or who test on IE universally create bad
code, because IE just lets it happen. Use Netscape for testing your pages;
if it works in Netscape, it will work in IE and Opera and Mozilla, etc. If
it works in IE, it may or may not work in other browsers.

Hi everybody,
I sent this to the php.windows-group but got no answer, so I'll try again
here :-)
Since I'm not used to working under Windows-OSes (never really knew why,
now I do..) it took me a while to get moving. I put together a small
project but now I'm really stuck. Not even reading the entire internet
(well most of it anyway) did help. So maybe someone can give this a short
look:
I need to transfer a file via net to some remote server.
I need to encrypt, since I could not find a way to use something like sftp
under WinNT / php I tried pscp (PuTTY Packet). Now this works fine when
started manually, even when embedde in a php-script it works when I execute
this script directly, however it does NOT work when I call the script via
cgi-bin from Apache. I tried all those strange things with prepending
something like "command /c" etc, nothing worked. In fact the pscp
executable IS called it just vanishes in nirvana. No error, no output, no
filetransfer.
In Compact:
- WinNT & Apache 1.3.something & php4.06 as cgi-exe
- Dir-Structure:
C-somepath-Apache-htdocs-somepath-scp-scp.php
-PHP-php.exe
-Tools-PuTTY-pscp.exe
- a short php-script:
---
<?PHP
# blabla... :-)
echo "<html><head><title>scp test</title></head>\n";
echo "<body>\n";
$pscp="C:/somepath/Tools/Putty/pscp";
$user="some_user";
$host="some_host";
$pass="some_pass";
$target_path="Deliver";
$target_file="targetfile";
$source_path="C:/somepath/Tools/PuTTY";
$source_file="sourcefile";
$connect_string=sprintf("%s -v -pw %s %s %s@%s:%s", $pscp, $pass,
sprintf("%s/%s", $source_path, $source_file),
$user, $host,
sprintf("%s/%s", $target_path, $target_file) );
$ret_arr=array();
echo 'exec($connect_string, $ret_arr, $ret_var); <br>'."\n";
echo "exec($connect_string, $ret_arr, $ret_var); <br>"."\n";
$res_var=exec($connect_string, $ret_arr, $ret_var);
echo "results --<br>\n";
echo "res_var: ".$res_var."<br>\n";
echo "ret_var: ".$ret_var."<br>\n";
echo "ret_arr: ".$ret_arr."<br>\n";
foreach ($ret_arr as $value)
echo "> ".$value."<br>\n";
echo "</body>\n";
echo "</html>\n";
?>
---
OK, it does not matter if I use exec, system, passthru or whatever, the
effect is the same: pscp is called, works for some seconds, the server is
not contacted (checked logs), the browser stops ("loaded") with the result:
---
exec($connect_string, $ret_arr, $ret_var);
exec(C:/somepath/Tools/Putty/pscp -v -pw some_pass \
C:/somepath/Tools/PuTTY/sourcefile \
some_user@some_host:Deliver/targetfile, Array, );
results --
res_var:
ret_var: 0
ret_arr: Array
---
So far so good (depends actually).
Now, there are two strange things:
a) when executing another command (I tried 'tar xvzf somefile.tgz', yes,
under WinNT) - no problem. takes a few seconds, returns a list of all
extracted files in $ret_arr. Same with things like "dir" etc.
b) when calling scp.php directly it does work:
C:> somepath\PHP\php C:\...\scp.php
the source is copied to target, the result shows the verbosity-messages
like 'login...authenticated...session...copying...'. Everything is fine.
Hmmm:
The tar-test shows that the arguments are ok when handed to the executable
(even checked via a batch-file echoing the args). The direct call shows
that pscp works and can be used from inside php.
So where is the difference when apache calls php via cgi?
Ok folks, I'll be glad for any hints or suggestions since being a little
under pressure to get this working and I really got no clue where else to
look :-(
Any Ideas anybody???
Anyone wants a cookie???
Thanks in advance,
Christian

Hi
I think if you want the user to type in a number, rather use a textbox, not a checkbox
;-))
Then call the textbox "phone" in the form you want the user to fill in, and when
submitted, the variable $phone will contain the number he typed in.
Then use:
$prefix = substr($phone, 0, 3);
if (($prefix == "072") || ($prefix == "082")) {
mail("$[EMAIL PROTECTED]", $subject, $message,
"From: $from_address\nReply-To: $to_address\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
}
else if (($prefix == "073") || ($prefix == "083")) {
mail("$[EMAIL PROTECTED]", $subject, $message,
"From: $from_address\nReply-To: $to_address\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
}
else if ($prefix == "084") {
mail("$cellnum@cellc's address", $subject, $message,
"From: $from_address\nReply-To: $to_address\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

How would I be able to change a variable from the input in a checkbox? I
need to write an sms script, that would be able to sms to three different

types in 083xxxxxxxxxx, it should goto provider 1, if he types in

it should goto provider 3. I have a simple mail script, with $phone for the

ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_SERVER_CONTROLS, array($ctrl1));

Thanks, assert() is cool, but it still reports the filename and line
number of the included file with the function in which the error
occurred, not the script that called the functon with illegal arguments.
Or...???
Eg.:
index.php:
<?
include_once("functions.php");
// foo() is declared here
foo(123);
// illegal argument
?>
This will produce a message saying an error occurred in functions.php,
but I want it to tell me that the error occurred in index.php, line 3.
Because if I call foo() many times in a script, it is difficult to find
out which call that failed.
Is this impossible?

I see, you need a debugger :)
I wrote an errorhandler class with error trapping capability.
It works as follows:
--index.php
<?php
$error = new ErrorHandler;
include_once('functions.php');
$error->set_error_trap(E_ALL); // switch error trapping _on_ !
foo(123); // illegal parameter to be passed
if ( $error->is_trapped(E_WARNING) ) {
$this->set_error_trap(); // switch error trapping _off_ !!
// following errors will be handled normally
trigger_error('The place where foo() fails.', E_USER_ERROR);
}
?>
if you run this script, then though foo() raises a warning which
won't be displayed but stored in $error (error handling object)
and later you can "search" in the trap ( with is_trapped() ) to
determine whether a particular error occured while the trap was
switched on.
Does it satisfy you or not? If yes, please mail me directly.

I see this all the time and I'm curious: what takes more
computing power (granted, either would be incredibly little
I'm sure, just curious which requires more work by PHP)?
this:
$filename = "this " . $varname . " that";
or this:
$filename = "this $varname that";
I would think the latter example but am not sure.
Another question, but this is more about personal style:
I almost always use the latter method in my coding practices. It
looks cleaner and, IMO, is easier to follow especially when there
are a number of variables involved. For those that use the former
method, why do you? I'm not trying to be judgemental, just curious
why people do what they do. In asking, I may actually learn some-
thing. :p

I use the latter style, because otherwise my syntax highlighting doesn't
kick in.
$filename = "this $varname that"; # $filename is in blue, the
rest is in green
$filename = "this". $varname. "that"; # $filename and $varname are in
blue, the rest is in green
I've done it so much now it's burned into a finger macro, takes 0.000001
seconds longer to type (approx)

Hello,
I have an application wich I maintained on my servers (PHP, Apache, MySQL).
I have a client that is already using the application trought a secure link
directly from his web site.
But he would like to have my application update a database directly on his
server (Oracle) in order
to protect the statistical data collected trought the application, wich is a
lot...
I see no problem to open a connection to update his Oracle database on his
server. I use phplib
so it would not be a major modification. But some questions remains:
- Opening a connection directly to his oracle database is not really more
secure in any way. (If I get hacked, he get's hacked...)
- It seems to me a false security since the data are manipulated by the PHP
engine on my server anyway...
- Creating a database (in order to replicate mine) would tell him a lot
about how I do my stuff... (but I do not really care tho)
My solution was to provide all statistical data to him with a secure (SSL)
link and give him everything
in XML so he could update his database just the way he want's it.
What do you think? What sould I tell him? I really need advice since this is
a field unknown to me...
py
p.s. I do not really know where to post a question like this one wich is not
really related to PHP directly... Sorry...

Just recently I've noticed an issue with setcookie. My scripts which normall
ran :
setcookie ("myCookie","Blah","time()+7201");
Are killing the cookie immediately after you close the browser window, or
access another https:// site. It appears as though the life of the cookie is
actually not being set, and is based entirely around the life of the browser
window which it was originally called.
if you leave the window open, and attempt at access the cookie from another
window, the cookie does not exist.
IDEAS? PHP GODS? :)

Hi Kris
Thats because you've wrapped the time() call and the addition inside a pair
of doublequotes.
Remove those and it'll work fine...
Regards

Oh yeah, about the lifetime of the cookie - with no valid expiry time it is
created as a session cookie - which is supposed to only live as long as the
browser does.
[opening a new independent browser window does not share the session, but
window.open() calls do, as do other 'browser created from browser with
session' methods, if that makes any sense, <grin>]

Speaking of cookies, is there a way using session control
to modify the expiration date of a cookie? I would like to add
a check box in a login dialog that says "remember me"
Thanks

Hi Urb
Can you not just set the cookie again [using the updated expiry date].
If I remember correctly, this should work..
