go away and RTFM, STFW, anything but ask another question here until you can show even the slightest inclination to do you're own research and that you'll bother to response to people when then do actually give answers (like maybe a thank you if someone does actually help you, for instance). this is the 26th lame ass question you have posted - not once was there any indication you had even bothered to open a browser to search for possible clues/answers and not once have you ever replied to all the people that tried to help you. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] how should MS Access DATETIME be handled in PHP?
While all the data-munging in PHP is very interesting... Might I suggest that you just use MySQL's date_format() function to ask MySQL to give you the data you want in the first place? Some purists would claim that the database is not the place to put presentation logic, of course. And for a large-scale library where other users might want to skin a different format, I couldn't agree more. But, really, for a small project, K.I.S.S. wins out, and having MySQL just hand you what you want instead of cluttering up your code with several lines (or a long multi-operation line) of PHP, seems like a cleaner solution. Not to mention that you'll have a lot less headaches like this one. http://mysql.com and search for date_format Thanks, Richard. I agree with you. Is date_format() a MySQL specific funtion? If so, we're out of luck because our backend DB is MS Access. Bing -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] mysql and php
Display the different ways in which you've seen php using mysql, and we'll see if any one of them is any more secure than another. Most Security issues can be left to MySQL and the MySQL API. A few pointers - Store parameters(username/password) outside the DocuementRoot. Put your server on local host - or create an ssh/ssl tunnel between the PHP machine, and the DB. Cast any numbers, and escape any strings. ( mysql_escape_string ) Configure mysql securely - this is outside the scope of an email.

I have seen some suggestions on google like having a hidden form field and using js to put a value in it, if it exists when the form is sent then JS is on..if not, its not... but that method is not the best in an AJAX situation...right? 2) How can I search in an array for a particular word? eg: in an array movie I have this kind of data: movie_name= some movie cast= Jim Carrey, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy I want to search on either Richard or Richard Pryor (must be case insensitive too) something like a SELECT with a LIKE %% statement I have been fooling around with in_array() but not getting anywhere fast. am I on the right track?

Re: [PHP] php - mysql problem
thanks a lot for your posting, [cut] Posted by Fred Mitchell on December 11 2004 2:47pm [Delete] [Edit] Let's say you are doing a LEFT JOIN with a table that shares a column name in common with another table, and that you are selecting for instances where the join is missing, that is IS NULL. Normally, the common column name is wiped out by the null record, but here is a workaround for it: You simply alias that common column name in the select. For instance, CREATE TABLE t1 (INT id NOT NULL, ); CREATE TABLE t2 (INT id NOT NULL, ); ... SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id WHERE t2.id IS NULL; would result in the column 'id' being null on each selected row. Instead, you can do: SELECT *, t1.id AS id FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id WHERE t2.id IS NULL; And now the 'id' column will be preserved since the alias is evaluated *after* the LEFT JOIN.

no shit! (regarding the confusion).
$_SESSION is populated when you call session_start(), it's contents are stored
on the server. calling session_start() implicitly make php emit a cookie which
contains not much other than the session id - it's this id (that the browser
sends back in the form of a cookie again) that tell's php which chunk of
serialized data that it saved onto disk (usually onto disk) at the end a
previous request it should load up when you call session_start().
by default the session cookie is 'dropped' by the browser once you
close it [the browser]
try this, it might to help you see what's happening a bit (oh and
don't forget the manual ;-):
?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['myObj'])) {
echo INIT!br /;
$_SESSION['myObj'] = new stdObject;
$_SESSION['myObj']-counter = 1;
}

[PHP] Compacting multiple spaces...
Hi, I am running a self-compiled PHP version 4.4.2 on Apache 1.3.34 on White Box Enterprise Linux 3. I found a problem in my database access code (Oracle 9.2.0.4 if it matters) and have determined that spaces in string variables are being compacted on output in PHP. This PHP extract, when run, illustrates the problem: ?php $name = Space 9; print pLength: .strlen($name); printf(pVariable: %s,$name); print pVariable: '.$name.'; echo pVariable: .$name; for($i=0; $i strlen($name); $i++) print pCharacter: .$i.\$name[$i]\; ? even though the string does contain 9 consecutive spaces, only one is ever printed to the screen with echo, print or printf. There is nothing in the documentation for these functions that I've found that says this is the expected behavior, or how to override if one really wants those spaces honored. Why is this important? Well, the application this is in allows users to define text strings that are inserted into the database with multiple consecutive spaces, however, when constructing select lists in PHP using these same entries the spaces are compacted, so the SELECT now doesn't match what is in the database.

You could either store it that way, or change it when you output. Then when you go to run the query change all nbsp; instances back to space.

[PHP] make keys of a associative array DB field names?
Hi,
Would anybody remind me how this should be achieved?
This returns all the names of the fields.
while( ($f = odbtp_fetch_field( $qry )) ) {
echo $f-name . \n;
}
This returns the query results:
while( ($rec = odbtp_fetch_array($qry)) ) {
foreach ($rec as $var) {
echo $var\n;
}
}
How should I connect them together? Say, the fields are 'name', 'age',
'score'. I want to print out $rec['name'], $rec['age'] and $rec['score']
rather than using $rec[0], $rec[1] and $rec[2].
Thanks in advance for any ideas,
Bing

Here's one way:
$oHandle = mysql_query($sSQL);
if (!$oHandle)
{
// error trapping goes here
}
// cycle through the records:
while ($aDataRow = mysql_fetch_array($oHandle, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
// cycle through the fields in each record:
foreach ($aDataRow as $sField = $sValue)
{
// $sField is the field name
// $sValue is the field value
}
}

Re: [PHP] Compacting multiple spaces...
It is not PHP but HTML. In HTML any 'whitespace character', that is space, tab or new line, is taken as a single whitespace character. It has nothing to do with PHP. You can either replace them with nbsp; which prints as a space but doesn't fall into the category of 'whitespace character' and is thus respected or you can use the pre tag, which will produce a mono-spaced output with all blanks and new lines as they come. Satyam - Original Message - From: Geoffrey E. Quelch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 9:15 PM Subject: [PHP] Compacting multiple spaces... Hi, I am running a self-compiled PHP version 4.4.2 on Apache 1.3.34 on White Box Enterprise Linux 3. I found a problem in my database access code (Oracle 9.2.0.4 if it matters) and have determined that spaces in string variables are being compacted on output in PHP. This PHP extract, when run, illustrates the problem: ?php $name = Space 9; print pLength: .strlen($name); printf(pVariable: %s,$name); print pVariable: '.$name.'; echo pVariable: .$name; for($i=0; $i strlen($name); $i++) print pCharacter: .$i.\$name[$i]\; ? even though the string does contain 9 consecutive spaces, only one is ever printed to the screen with echo, print or printf. There is nothing in the documentation for these functions that I've found that says this is the expected behavior, or how to override if one really wants those spaces honored. Why is this important?

It has nothing to do with PHP. Geoffrey, another way of saying this is that it's only the SCREEN RENDERING that makes multiple whitespace characters APPEAR to be a single space. If you view the source of your page I think you'll see all your spaces intact. Since the multiple spaces are really there in your string, you should be able to operate on all of them, for example using string-array functions. In your script: $name = Space 9; * print pLength: .strlen($name); printf(pVariable: %s,$name); print pVariable: '.$name.'; echo pVariable: .$name; * for($i=0; $i strlen($name); $i++) * print pCharacter: .$i.\$name[$i]\; ...the lines I've marked with an asterisk should reveal the true length of the string, including all nine spaces, even though the screen-print functions make it look like they've been consolidated into one space.

I hope you find the problem by stripping it down to the bare bones. Please post your findings to the list whether you figure it out or not. Thanks again. I have finally tracked down the root cause to my original problem. I was using the select HTML construct a little too glibly. I was using it in the form: ?php $name .= Space 9; echo form action='submit.php' enctype='text/plain'\n; echo select name='stationName' \n; echo option\n; echo $name\n; echo /select\n; echo pinput type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'\n; echo input type='reset' name='reset' value='Reset'\n; echo /form; ? i.e not providing a value attribute on the option construct to be passed to the submitted form, and so the stationName contained the *rendered* string, not the string that was input. Thanks again to all who sent suggestions. I guess one still has things to learn after 10+ years using HTML.

RE: [PHP] MS SQL extension not loading
I have experience with loading mysql.dll and other module which unable

In my problem, it was solved by put php directory (c:/php) on windows

What am I doing wrong? Please help me. I was trying for a week and
nobody could help me on the hungarian PHP list. I'm lost.
Step #1:
Create and surf to a phpinfo() file:
?php phpinfo();?
Check the php.ini setting in the top portion to see where php.ini MUST
BE for it to be read.
This directory was set at compile-time, by whomever happened to compile
the php.exe (and dll) that day.
You can't change it ; You have to live with it.
[Actually, in recent Apache versions, you can use an httpd.conf setting
to alter it, but let's not confuse things that are version-specific]
Step #2:
Find your php.ini file, and MOVE it to where phpinfo() wants it to be.
If you have no php.ini file, find the php.ini-dist file, copy it, and
rename it.
Step #3
In php.ini look at the extensions_dir setting.
Fix it.
One thing is clear from your output: You've GOT a lot of extensions
working, so you probably already have all of this correct.
Nevertheless, you follow the first 3 steps because that's just the way
you make SURE you have things set up like you think you have them set
up, even if it all looks good...
Step #4.
Compare version numbers of your mssql_php.dll and the version of PHP you
are running. You CANNOT mix-n-match old DLLs with new PHP and vice
versa. It will sometimes work until you happen to use the one
function that CHANGED between versions.
If you just went out and found some random mssql_php.dll to throw in the
directory, it is NOT going to work.
In recent PHP versions, I think it won't even let you screw this up, as
each module is, I think, tagged with an internal version reference
number and PHP will reject invalid DLLs. I think... But in the old
days, it was a common mistake for folks to install mis-matched DLL
versions and have all kinds of trouble.
Step #4a
Check your log files. I'm assuming ISS actually HAS logfiles... It
must have, right? Might be in system events log. Might be in an
error_log file next to your IIS web traffic logs. Knowing Microsoft,
it might be *ANYWHERE*... But, wherever it is, find it, and read it.
If all else fails, you can surf to PHP, and then use Explorer to search
for files changed in the past five minutes. Or, at least, I think it
will let you search in the past five minutes.
Yesterday I went looking to do that and could only find files changed in
the past day. Ugh.
I'm guessing that you might find an error message about the
mssql_php.dll being the wrong version...
Step #5.
Switch to a superior web server: Apache
:-)
Step #6.
Switch to a superior OS like Linux or FreeBSD
:-) :-) :-)
