Re: [PHP] login_script_help needed.

[Andrew Brampton]

Well quickly looking at the code I can't see what line is causing the
Warning: Cannot add header information
but there have been many discussion explaining why this happens... as for
your
Unknown MySQL Server Host '$198.63.221.3'
the error for that is on the line:
if(!($link_id = mysql_connect($198.63.221.3, $Ultimatefootball,
$kjames1973))) die(mysql_erorr());
I think the line would look better like:
$link_id = mysql_connect('198.63.221.3', 'Ultimatefootball', 'kjames1973')
or die(mysql_erorr());

(might be a good idea to change your password now btw (since you have shown
everyone))

Hope that gets you started

Re: [PHP] passing argument between scripts

try:

I beleive that you may be including scriptB after it has been displayed by

Re: [PHP] Fractions

[Andrew Brampton]

Well how would you do it on paper?

$numerator = 8;
$denominator = 12;

$factor = 1;

//Start at the greater of the 2, and loop down til you find a common factor
for ($i=max($numerator,$denominator);$i>1;$i--) {
//Check if each number divided by $i has no remainder
if (($numerator % $i) == 0 && ($denominator % $i) == 0) {
//Factor Found
$factor = $i;
break;
}
}

//Now a factor is found, divide by it
$numerator = $numerator / $factor;
$denominator = $denominator / $factor;

echo $numerator . '/' . $denominator;

The method might look like the above

Re: [PHP] Variables problem

[Andrew Brampton]

The problem is as the error says, totalqty is not the name of one of your
form elements, I think infact you want:

echo "Items ordered: " . $totalqty . "\n";

Since the $_POST is just used to read varibles sent to you from a form,
whereas any other varibles you make ie:
$totalqty = $_POST["tireqty"] + $_POST["oilqty"] + $_POST["sparkqty"];

Can just be referenced with $totalqty (no need for the $_POST)

I hope you understand the different, and that your error was just a typing
mistake..

Happy Coding

Re: [PHP] FTP UPLOAD

[Andrew Brampton]

Well I think the error is telling you whats up
The file
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mario\phpftp\phpftp\FTPonline\12.txt
Doesn't exist

Try changing the line to something like this:
$source_file = $HTTP_POST_FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'];

This or
$source_file = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
(if you are using the more lastest PHP version)

Hope this helps

What does the mail log say? Its usually /var/log/maillog. You say that
the email is not sent, but what error message do you get? I think we
need to know a little more about the error.

Re: [PHP] Sound with PHP

[Andrew Brampton]

If you are trying to play the sounds on the client's PC, then you can't do
this with PHP

PHP is a server side language, so if you tried playing soudns with it, it
would only be heard by the people standing next to your server :)..

You might want to take a look at some HTML or JScript, or Flash, or many
other methods of playing music. (which are all client side "languages")

Re: [PHP] objects within arrays

[Andrew Brampton]

Big guess but I think maybe:

$header[0]->from['mailbox'];

Also I suggest you turn your PHP Error Level up to E_ALL in your php.ini
file (or temporarly at the top of your scripts with error_reporting
(E_ALL);, this will help debug programs like this :))

Re: [PHP] uploading + downloading Large files ...

[Andrew Brampton]

There is a limit in the php.ini saying how big a upload can be.
Also I beleive there might be a limit in apache, but I'm not sure.

But uploading 100mb files over HTTP is a very dodgy thing to be doing, if
anything goes wrong the user has to start again. Downloading 100mb is no
problem, but uploading I would advise you to use FTP or SCP. If you have
problems with them uploading in the wrong place, well how about you have PHP
Script that tells them how to upload, and exactly where to place it,
something as simple as saying upload to ftp://blah.com/yourName/

Hope this helps

wont' render a table until the last  (I beleive), so this could stop
your html from showing.

Or if there is going to be a long pause, you could make a intermediate page
that displays this will take minute. This page would have a meta refresh
that keeps refreshing itself checking the status of your job. Once the job
is complete on the next refresh it will notice the job is done and voila
display the results.

Re: [PHP] Second (Bizarre) Question regarding PHP and ASP

[Andrew Brampton]

It would look like any other user.
In ASP you will have to check the request's IP (if its static), or you can
use some kind of username/password combinition... Or if you are real lazy
use just a hidden url ie mysite.com/akjdhsanlfas/process.asp

There is no way to tell the page process.php is making the request.

Subject: [PHP] Second (Bizarre) Question regarding PHP and ASP


I don't know how to post this one so I'm sorry for such bizarre
cross-posting, but honestly I don't know where to go for help on this one!

I have process.php that has to call a remote file called process.asp on
another site.

Site 1 has the cookie domain I want (that's where process.php is housed)
Site 2 has the database I need (because I can't obtain a database for Site
1 - Site 2 is where process.asp is housed)

process.php has to do an fopen to process.asp to process username and
password material.  process.asp needs security, obviously, to ensure that
the user is "coming" from process.asp (but he's not because he's doing an
fopen).

in other words, process.php opens up process.asp and returns the evaluation
of process.asp onto process.php

I tried using REQUEST_URI but I didn't get the results I wanted.  How will
process.asp know that process.php called it in order to do what it should
do?

Thanx
Phil

Re: [PHP] Does remote file(image) exist ?

[Andrew Brampton]

If you looked at the usercomments for file_exists you would see it saying to
look at the fopen page for a example
In the usercomments for fopen there is a post saying this:

jamie.watt at murchison.com.au
03-Feb-2000 01:39
To check if a file exists using http or ftp use the following:


$fp = @fopen("http://www.someurl.com/testfile.php3","r";);
if ($fp)
{ print"The file exists!"; }
else
{ print"The file does not exist"; }


Note: The "@" in front of fopen suppresses the error output of the function.

I hope this clears up some confusion.

There is your answer :)

[PHP] Making /something/blah work instead of /something.php/blah

[Andrew Brampton]

Hi,
I did a bit of googling for this, but I was unsure on what to google for, so
I came up with nothing :(

Anyway I have a 3 servers, windows, freeBSD, and my web hosts.
I have used the following style URLs for many of my scripts, ie:
www.mysite.com/something/blah/blah/blah
where something is actually something.php and then I just parse out the
blahs... This has worked on my webhost and my windows box without any
special tweaks.
I have no recently set up a freeBSD server with php and everything runs
great, but I only noticed today that it doesn't accept these kind of URL and
instead returns a 404 /something/blah/blah/blah is not found.
If I try
www.mysite.com/something.php/blah/blah/blah
It works as expected, but I don't really want to keep the .php in the URL
(just to make things look prettier/smaller)

So I was wondering if anyone knows what I need to change on my default
apache+php install. Here are my versions:
WinXP + Apache 1.3.27 + PHP 4.3.0 (Works Here)
FreeBSD 4.7 + Apache 1.3.27 + PHP 4.2.3 (Fails Here)
WebHost some BSD + Apache 1.3.22 + PHP 4.1.0 (Works Here)

Thanks for any help or links to useful pages.

Re: [PHP] Counter has gremlins

[Andrew Brampton]

I believe this is a concurrency problem...
2 PHP scripts can run at the same time and the problem is that your first
script gets as far as the unlink thus deleting the file. Then the 2nd script
is ran (at the same time) and trys to open the file which doesn't exist,
therefore it reads a num of 0. Then control returns to script 1 which saves
the number num (which is a valid count), and finish... Script 2 continues
and saves the num 0, and therefore your counter gets reset.

Its all a problem of concurrency and the fact that more than one thing can
happen at a time.

There are a few solutions.
1) Use MySQL or another database which limits reading/writing to the data so
that problems like this do not occur.
2) Use a flocking method which locks the file between the reading and
writing so that no other script can interfeare... I'm unsure on how good
this method is with PHP, so I suggest the first.

Re: [PHP] Protecting files with PHP

[Andrew Brampton]

Place a .htaccess in the files directory denying all access to it, and also
possibly redirecting them to a login page. However since your users should
never know about the files/ directory there is no real point :)

Then code a PHP script to serve the files just in the same way you would if
they were outside of the public_html.
Since your PHP script will be reading the files from the file system they
will have no problem accessing the files and serving them out.

Hope that helps.

Just a minor change, the HTTP Specification says that the Location header

If there is a "even a space" you can turn output buffering on so that
the redirect will still work.



will work just fine.

Re: [PHP] FTP - Can't build data connection

[Andrew Brampton]

This would happen when a incoming or a outgoing port 20 (FTP Data)
connection can't be made.

I don't know how PHP ftp functions work but normally the FTP client makes a
outgoing connection on port 21, and then the FTP Server makes a incoming
connection from port 20 when any kind of data is sent (ie directory
listings, or files)

So I'm guessing that the web server that you are running ftp_put on doesn't
allow incoming connections...
You can try getting around this by setting PHP to use Passive mode, which
makes the FTP client connection out to port 20 on the FTP server. A quick
look at the manual says that you should use ftp_pasv to make that happen.

Hope this helps

Re: [PHP] replacing & but not special chars

[Andrew Brampton]

How about you decode the string, and then encode it like so:
$decode = html_entity_decode($input);
$output = htmlentities($decode);

If you have the string
ab&something&blah
the decode will turn that into
ab&something&blah
and then encode it into
ab&something&blah

This can run into problems, but they will be just the same problems you
would receive with any other method... The problem I speak of is when your
input string is "something&" and & isn't a HTML Entity but the
proper string just so happened to have a & in it just before the amp... In
that case the amp; would be incorrectly removed... However the chances of
having a string that matches a HTML entity with a "bad" & placed in front of
it are so high that you shouldn't worry (and you did mention it was a URL,
so as far as I know ; can't appear in a valid URL, so I don't think you
should worry at all :))... And if you are worrying then any method you chose
will have this problem and you should do the task by hand :)

Hope this helps

fclose($fp);
return $buf;
}

I've not tried this code, but I think I got it right :)
Also please note that this connects to proxys on port 8080, you might need
to change that.
Oh and I changed the http/1.1 to 1.0 because I find it has less problems :)

Hope this works/helps

Re: [PHP] fpdf

[Andrew Brampton]

The way I would do it is I would make the Save button (or link) point to
display.php?save... Now in the display.php I would have it figure out if
save is in the URL, if it is then it should output a pdf file instead of a
html file.

This does however mean that your query is done twice (once for seeing the
results with the save button at the bottom, and then again when you hit
save) If you only want your query run once then you must save the pdf on
the first attempt and then set the link to something like
/someUniqueNumber/file.pdf

Does that make sense?

If you need more guidance just email me.

Re: [PHP] Pushing array onto array

[Andrew Brampton]

Well I just coded up a very small example, and it pushing 1 array into the
other...

Check out: http://81.102.229.151/push.php and
http://81.102.229.151/push.phps

It works exactly how it should... However really the array isn't a 2
dimensional one, since PHP doesn't have them, its rather a array of arrays
which is roughly the same thing (and something not to worry about)...

If you need more help just email me

Re: [PHP] CRC and Polynomials

[Andrew Brampton]

I found this mentioned in a old user comment (it might not be relevant now):
"Some quick reverse engineering shows they're using the standard CRC32
parameters:

Polynomial 0x04C11DB7l
Initial register value 0x
Register is inverted at end of calculation
Bytes are reflected as they come in, and the result is reflected before it
is returned.

The documentation says this function returns the CRC polynomial of the
string - that's a little misleading IMHO. I'd say it simply returns the CRC
of the string. The polynomial is a magic number in the calculation."

and I've just downloaded the lastest source and found the crc32 function to
be in crc32.c and crc32.h. In the comments it mentions that the polynomial
is
/* generated using the AUTODIN II polynomial
 * x^32 + x^26 + x^23 + x^22 + x^16 +
 * x^12 + x^11 + x^10 + x^8 + x^7 + x^5 + x^4 + x^2 + x^1 + 1
 */

and there is a big table of 256 number which you may find useful.

Oh finally I also found mentioned in the NEWS file that:
"- Added a crc32 checksum function - used by the UdmSearch search engine
  and currently run through a system call.  This will speed up the UdmSearch
  php frontend significantly. (Rasmus)"

Which seems to be called udm_crc32, and so far undocumented.

I hope this information has been useful.

Re: [PHP] Humour in programming?

[Andrew Brampton]

The image is stored locally inside your compiled php binaries.
php returns a image instead of parsing the script if the query string is one
of the following:
?=PHPE9568F34-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42
?=PHPE9568F35-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42
?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42
Try appending that string to one of your sites and magically it starts
returning a image instead of what you expected.
Actually this seems a really good way to see if a site is running PHP or
not...

Re: [PHP] Finding the height of a JPG in pixels using PHP

[Andrew Brampton]

You can use getimagesize on a jpg file to read its size, so either save the
jpg in MySQL to a file and then do a getImageSize, or before you place the
jpg in to the database read its size and store its dimensions with it in the
db.

Since 4.1.? the way things worked changed... Instead of using $album you

you can default back the old behaviour with a php.ini change, but the new

[PHP] Safe Mode seems to turn on and off randomly

[Andrew Brampton]

Hi,
I was discussing with a friend at a webhost I use and they have been experience a 
wierd problem recently with their php safe mode, I went to help and after spending a 
while in the bug database I couldn't find anything to explain it.

Basically every time you view a phpinfo page it will randomly change the local setting 
for safe mode from on or off, where the global setting is allways on... We also found 
out that if you run a php script 1000 times echoing the state of safemode it is 
constant for out the execution of the script, but it might change the next time we 
re-fresh the page.

The servers which are affected are using Plesk which is a control panel thing which 
basically bundles freeBSD, apache, php, mysql together with a PHP front end for users 
and admins...The current version of the software is as follows:

PHP 4.1.0
Apache 1.3.22
FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE 
(The builds would be newer but this is what the lastest Plesk provides)

I was wondering if anyone could have a explaination for this bug, if you want to see 
it for yourself check out my http://www.lusernet.34sp.com/phpInfo.php page. Since I'm 
not a admin of this webhost, and I'm only really doing this because I'm curious as 
well I can't give any more server specific details then what is publicly available on 
the phpInfo page since I don't know them :)

Anyway thanks for any reply
Andrew

[PHP] Vote to ban Acer

[Andrew Brampton]

Ok,
I'm not a professional PHP developer, I'm just a plain student that loves PHP, I don't 
have the money to spend on Encoders and high end IDEs or whatever is out there, I just 
love the fact that I have a near unlimited supply of software out there which free to 
use, comes with source, and allows me to do what I want with it.

I also love the fact that there are such forums that allow me to ask questions, in 
more recent times be able to answer other peoples questions, I don't have to pay 
50p/minute on a silly tech support line, I just email and I get a response a few hours 
later.

But I am very disappointed by the fact that a flame war is going on in this list. 
Respect the people that have made PHP, the people that have allowed many people to 
become PHP Developers and Professionals and earn a living. And hell if you don't want 
to earn a living then make silly little PHP sites as well that's cool, because Ramus 
(and the others that have helped) have gave me many hours of enjoyment in learning PHP 
and playing with all the cool things it can do. If I ever meet Ramus or any other core 
php programmers I would be sure to go up to them and tell them how amazing they are 
and even buy them a pint...

So Acer please stop abusing these people, who cares if Zend charge lots of money there 
are open source alternatives, if they are not as good as you want then it looks like 
Zend have the monopoly and there is nothing you can do about it. Oh yes there is you 
could write your own under the GPL!

I'm pretty sure there are no rules against b1tching on the lists or even flaming 
others, but I think many people are just shocked at Acer's views on the community and 
frankly I don't want to hear them anymore... so just before I set outlook to block his 
mails would the mods of this be able to remove him and stop him flaming our gods..

Thanks
Andrew

Re: [PHP] which function can do so ?

I read his question as wanting to know how to figure out the URL of his

Re: [PHP] Case Sensitivity

[Andrew Brampton]

Linux file systems are case sensitive... So the file Hello.php is different
to hello.php... Both can exist at the same time and contain different
content, but they are different...On the windows file system files aren't
case sensitive so Hello.php would be the same as hello.php...

So I suggest in your PHP coding that you get all the cases (of files) the
same throughout your app, or if you want to be lazy do what you are doing at
the moment (ie changing the case with strtoupper())

Re: [PHP] Shared network server failing to include files

[Andrew Brampton]

Hi, I don't think this is a PHP question, but the line
Alias /cs/ //192.168.0.253/apachedir/
try
Alias /cs/ \\192.168.0.253/apachedir/

Because //isn't valid for UNCs, but \\ is..

If this doesn't work, then with dos map \\192.168.0.253/apachedir/ to a
network drive and point apache at that

Re: [PHP] Does this call for an array?

[Andrew Brampton]

It calls for a intermediate table.

You need 3 tables:
pf_survey, categories and survey_cat

They look like:
pf_survey
survey_id, Questions, Whatever, but no categories fields

categories
category_id, category_name

survey_cat
survey_id and category_id

for each record in pf_survey you will have one or more records in
survey_cat. Each record in servey_cat will be one of the tick boxes ticked
for that survey_id... so 2 tick boxs, 2 records in survery_cat with the
same survery_id...

When accessing the data you will need to use some different SQL querys
like the JOIN, and/or select more than one table at a time...

This is the correct database relationship way of doing it, but if this is
beyond you a cheap and nasty was would be to either:
A)store a comma delimited list of cat_id in your pf_survey record.
B)create a boolean field for each catorgy in your pf_survey table..

Hope this helps
Andrew

Re: [PHP] Download site down?

[Andrew Brampton]

It seems that php.net does load balancing of its downloads and every time
you open the downloads page it displays downloads from different
mirrors... so keep refreshing http://www.php.net/downloads.php until you
find a mirror which works for you.

Usually all the mirrors work first time but I did find the other day that
I wasn't able to download the PHP Source from one of the mirrors, but a
quick refresh of the download page supplied me with a working mirror :)

Re: [PHP] whois query

[Andrew Brampton]

If you can't do a exec or system call on your server, then look at the
many examples of whois scripts here:
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Networking_Tools/Whois/
some of which use sockets or other methods which might be allowed on your
server

Also for reference, www.hotscripts.com is a GREAT site which has tons of
PHP scripts, allways look there 9 times out of 10 you will find a script
you can use.

[PHP] CC Processing Merchants

[Andrew Brampton]

Sorry for this slightly off topic question, but I beleive many of you will
have delt with this kind of thing before.

My client is asking for a Online Merchant that will allow him to validate
and charge credit cards. He orginally suggested Pay Pals but after I read
their docs I found that the Customers would have to sign up for a Pay Pals
account, which my client dislikes.

So can anyone recommend a good (maybe cheap) Merchant that can validate and
charge credit cards online? My client is searching for some reviews online,
but he asked if I could maybe get a list from progammers which have done it
before.

Thanks

Re: [PHP] WinAMP Plugin Question

[Andrew Brampton]

You could create a PHP script on your webserver that pulls the info from
your machine, parses it and then re-displays it in the way you like. This
way people won't actually know your IP,. and all the processsing will be
done on your webserver. If you want to allow them to download your MP3s, you
can either do it via your webserver, it just let your webserver link
straight to your SpyAmp page.

Re: [PHP] Best way to store Votes for Survey app

[Andrew Brampton]

Say
item_id was a int(10)
member_id was a int(10)
date was a timestamp(14)
rating was a int(1)

then each record would take up 35bytes + a little overhead
Neglecting the overhead 20,000 records would take up only 700kb of space.

So size of the db shouldn't be a issue. But if it is then you could changed
item_id and member_id to slightly smaller int types.

If you are worried about speed of searchs etc, I'm pretty sure MySQL can
handle it, but if you want to place some less work on MySQL make a table
which stores the current Averages/Totals/Etc and update that whenever a new
vote is made/changed/deleted. That way MySQL isn't adding up 20,000 records
each time you want to display the current results, and this also leaves you
the flexibility to do other statitisics on your data later.

Hope this helps
Andrew

what values of $user_dir are you passing to is_dir?

echo them out before the test, you might be sending paths which are most
certainly not directories... for example:
c:\windows
/home/blah
would be valid, but
c:\windows\win.com
/home/blah/myfile
http://somesite/somepath
ftp://someftpserver/incoming
are invalid

Re: [PHP] Rotating Ads

[Andrew Brampton]

you can use SQL:
SELECT id, url, image FROM tblAdds ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1

I think thats just about it, that should evenly show them, if you want to
bias the displying of your ads you would need to get a count of the ads in
the DB, then use some random number generated from PHP to chose which to
use.

I have a link exchange script and I need to rotate the ads each time a page
refreshes. How exactly can I do this?

I have an id field for each ad. How could I display a different ad each time
the page refreshes using the id field?

Thanks,

You could write your own rotation code, moving every pixel one by one,

Otherwise I've not used GD enough to know one... but actually quickly

[Andrew Brampton]

Yes you can place one in a style sheet you just need to tell apache (or
whatever) that .css should be parsed by PHP, this can be done via a
.htaccess or something similar... Here is a example in a .htaccess file:

Subject: [PHP] Is this a BUG?


Hi all,

A couple of days ago, I've been starting to organize all my scripts into
functions within libraries, and got into a problem this morning. Now, I
don't know if this is a bug or it's just me getting confused. I got the
problem when calling two functions - one gets variables from the other -
within the same page.

That is, I have a mainusers.php page, which only calls for functions
instead of writing them all together inside that page. At one step, it
calls for an "adduser" function which brings a table that let the
administrator insert a new user. After the submit button is pressed, it
calls for a function called "useradded" which resides in the same
library as the "adduser" function. This useradded function queries the
database, inserting the user. The problem is that it does not get the
HTTP_POST_VARS although they are being passed according to phpinfo.php.

The structure is this:

Project directory

>Library Directory
>>addlib.php
>>>adduser() function
>>>useradded() function

>Pages directory
>>mainusers.php
>>>first calls for adduser()
>>>and then for useradded()

Now, the thing is if I, instead of calling the function, write the query
directly in the mainusers.php page, the variables are get well and
written into the database. I don't know if this makes much sense, but
the thing is. Isn't PHP forced to pass those variables before the
function is called so when they're needed they can be get through
HTTP_POST_VARS or just $var_name which I like using?

Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Design Tips

and it would request the page www.whatever.com/blah and then display it

Re: [PHP] [more info] Finding all instances

[Andrew Brampton]

Well I'm not good enough at SQL to do this, but how about you get PHP to
figure out all the combinations, ie
1, 3, 5, 2, 6, 5&2, 3&2, 3&2&1, 5&1, 6&1, 2&1, 3&1

Then do a set of
SELECT * FROM table WHERE number=1
SELECT * FROM table WHERE number=3

SELECT * FROM table WHERE number=3 OR number=1

Then you can read all these values into a array of some kind and do what you
want...

I think I may mis-understood the problem a little, but I hope this helps

gzip content before gzipping it..

But I think the reason that it isn't working for you is that you don't have

Re: [PHP] suggestion: recursive calls

[Andrew Brampton]

I was just testing PHP with this code:
 860)
exit();

echo $varible . '';
flush();

blah($varible + 1);
}

blah(1);

?>

This would show 1 to 860, however if I tried any number greater than 860, ie
861 then the page would give the "This page cannot be displayed" page like
you were saying.

Normally apps in C, etc would throw a stack overflow error when you recursed
too high...

I'm guessing PHP doesn't implement this as a normal stack, and is crashing
out because we have hit the memory limit. The reason I say that is because
860 seems a very odd number to set the stack size to.

I'm also guessing that it wouldn't be too hard for the PHP Dev team to place
a limit on the recursion depth, or maybe it is a bit too hard and thats why
they didn't bother :)...

Re: [PHP] GD problem

[Andrew Brampton]

ImagePNG() ouputs to the browser unless you specify the filename parameter
So those funny symbols you are seeing is the PNG file but displayed as text.
To fix this you need to add a

Header("Content-type: image/png");

somewhere in your PHP (preferably before ImagePNG), and it will tell your
browser that the data being sent is a PNG file, not normal text/html.

You may see the funny characters, or a red cross if you decide to use echo,
print, print_r or similar functions, since these will output to the browser
along with the PNG file, thus corrupting the image.

Oh My I just noticed you have HTML in there as well :/ If you are doing
something like:
echo '';
ImagePNG(); //I want the image to appear here
echo '';

Then you will need to do:
echo '';
echo '
echo '';

and in somephpfile.php you will have the code to generate the image
including the ImagePNG();

[PHP] SQL Query OT question for the experts :)

[Andrew Brampton]

Hi,
I have a client with a database of around 17k entries. Now due to powers out
of my control the table structure looks like:

CREATE TABLE londonhotelsallphotos (
  HotelID double default NULL,
  active_hotel_photo_Name varchar(255) default NULL,
  URL varchar(255) default NULL,
  Number varchar(50) default NULL,
  Name varchar(255) default NULL
) TYPE=MyISAM;

and a few example rows look like:
(105304,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105304/BAB105304.jpg','1','Cairn Hotel');
(105304,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105304/CAB105304.jpg','2','Cairn Hotel');
(105304,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105304/DAB105304.jpg','3','Cairn Hotel');
(105304,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105304/EAB105304.jpg','4','Cairn Hotel');

However the client has recently updated the database and now all entries
look something like:
(105304,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105304/AAB105304.jpg',NULL,NULL);
(105304,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105304/DAB105304.jpg',NULL,NULL);
(105304,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105304/BAB105304_2.jpg',NULL,NULL);
(105304,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105304/BAB105304_3.jpg',NULL,NULL);

Now you will notice that the last 3 fields have changed... The client wanted
to change the URL field, but also changed the Number & Name fields With
the current coding it appears they require the Number field to be set to 1,
2, 3, 4 etc... However as you can see the number field are all NULL now,
this is meaning the rows aren't being shown on the PHP page due to the way
the page was coded..

Now what I'm asking is for a SQL Query I can use to re-number all the rows
(17,000 ish). The table has many different HotelIDs in it, with at most 5
rows with the same ID meaning that the Number field won't be higher than 5.
The URL field I think is always unique for all the rows Also I don't
mind that the Name field is left NULL.

A few example rows would be:
(105304,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105304/BAB105304.jpg','1','Cairn Hotel');
(105304,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105304/CAB105304.jpg','2','Cairn Hotel');
(105304,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105304/DAB105304.jpg','3','Cairn Hotel');
(105304,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105304/EAB105304.jpg','4','Cairn Hotel');
(105356,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105356/EAB105356.jpg','1','Ramada Jarvis
Bolton');
(105356,NULL,'http://blah/photos/105356/CAB105498.jpg','2','Ramada Jarvis
Bolton');

If I can't do this with some quick and dirty SQL, I'll write some PHP to do
the process, but since I'm not being paid to fix this problem, and the
client caused it himself I thought I'll take the easier option of using SQL
before I wrote some code out of kindness...

Thanks very much
Andrew

Re: [PHP] php special permissions

[Andrew Brampton]

Another solution would be to place each change to the files in a MySQL
table, and then have a cron that is run every X minutes read this table, and
makes the actual changes I'm not sure if this idea is suitable in your
situation due to the time lag between the client asking for the change, and
the change happening. In some situations this is acceptable.

Hi,
 I am building a web interface to the vacation autoresponder program on
linux.

 I let users login, edit their message and enable the autoresponder.

 The last step (enabling) is where the fun begins because php is run as
apache on
 my box, and each users' .vacation.msg and .forward are not owned by apache.

 So you say, ok lets make apache run as group 'vacation' and also change the
ownership
 on .vacation.msg and .forward.

 Well this makes sendmail cry out because it doesn't like having
group-writable .forward
 files.


 How would you guys suggest i did this?

 I can post code if required.

Re: [PHP] Store Image in Access Database

[Andrew Brampton]

Hi,
You would pull it out using a normal SELECT SQL statement..

But I'm just writing this mail to warn agaisnt using a Access Database to
store images. I used to do this for a ASP site, allowing users to upload
their own images, and for everyone to view them. Anyway the database started
running into troubles, every other day I had to replace the database with a
backup due to it getting corrupted, and once the access database reached 5mb
I spent more time replacing it then it was actually being used. So I changed
my solution to one where the images are uploaded and stored on the webserver
and infomation about the images still stored in the access database. This
method worked FAR better, and since then I haven't had to replace the access
database.

Just my opinion

[PHP] ob_gzhandler doesn't seem to be working

[Andrew Brampton]

I thought I would try out the ability to GZip my PHP pages, so that they would be sent 
quicker and use less of my bandwidth :)

Anyway I have found the following tutorials and information on this:
http://www.zend.com/zend/art/buffering.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-gzhandler.php
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/piergiorgio20010321.php3?page=3

Unfortually I have been unable to get any of my pages to actually GZip up during 
transmittion.

I have enabled
output_buffering = On
output_handler = ob_gzhandler
in the php.ini file, with no luck

I have tried 
php_flag output_buffering on
php_value output_handler ob_gzhandler
in .htaccess files

I have even tried 
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
at the top of my PHP Files..

Unfortually the output is NOT GZips, I have been testing the output with this script: 
http://leknor.com/code/gziped.php or by manually sending a HTTP Request:
GET /whatever.php HTTP/1.0
Host: localhost
Accept-Encoding: gzip

Nothing I try gets the page GZipped.

I am using php 4.0.6 binaries on windowsXP with apache 1.3.20

If anyone has been able to get this working, or has a solution to my problem please 
contact me,

Thanks
Andrew

Re: [PHP] IP address from which country

No such table, the best you can do is look at their hostname and parse the last part 
ie .co.uk or .com... And then u can try and figure where they are from that

How do you plan to place stuff in a database without using a "Server based

I think you will need to use a combination of the 2. Make the JScript call

Re: [PHP] db design

[Andrew Brampton]

I would make 2 tables, a product table and a language table... It would look
like so:
Product ID | product name | manufacturer | etc

Then a language table that looks like:
Language ID | Product ID | product description | etc

Then you won't be replicated your 11 columns since they are not in the
product table anymore.. If there are 100 products, and 1 language then there
will be 100 records in the product table and 100 in the language table. If
there are 2 languages then there will be 200 in the language table.

This method means you will be able to expand your language endless... and I
don't think your DB Server will be slowed down too much by this, since u can
pull this all of with 1 query.. something like (from memory)
SELECT tblProducts.name, tblLanguage.Description  FROM tblProducts,
tblLanguage WHERE tblProducts.productID=tblLanguage.productID AND {some
other query}

Hope this helps

Re: [PHP] PHP browser uploads = PASV?

[Andrew Brampton]

If you are uploading a file with php then you are using a http connection
NOT ftp... so PASV doesn't come into it at all. PASV is a FTP command not
http.

and if you did try and compare them, then http is passive (ie no connections
are tried to be made to the user with the browser).

Re: [PHP] php in a layer trouble

If you mean a layer as in a  tag, then Netscape or any other browser shouldn't

[PHP] SQL Query (Group By)

[Andrew Brampton]

Hi,
This is more a SQL question that a php one, but here goes:

I have a table with 3 fields, Date, IP, ISP.
Basically I have written some php to store the following in the table each time 
someone hits a page on my site. Now I want to display some info about the users 
currently on my site, but I want to try and do it with 1 SQL query.

Basically I want to display a count of how many unique IPs there are on my site from 
each ISP... for example
3 NTL 
1 BT
5 Freeserve

but in each group there will be more than 1 entry for each user due to them causing a 
row in the table on each hit. I can't seem to group it together how I want with 1 
query. The best I can do is count how many rows are from each IP (but this figure is 
too high since it doesn't take into account that the IPs must be unique). Here is my 
current SQL:

$sql = "SELECT ISP, COUNT(*) as total FROM track GROUP BY ISP ORDER BY total DESC";

I could make this work by doing some sorting in PHP once I get the data, but I would 
prefer to do it with SQL... Anyone know how to do what I want?

Thanks
Andrew

[PHP] reg exp problems

[Andrew Brampton]

Hi,
I've never used a reg exp, but I was trying to do something simple, and I just can't 
seem to do it :)

I have a varible $fdata which contains the contents of a webpage, and I want to strip 
out the  tag.

I try:
$fdata = preg_replace("","",$fdata);

But its stripping out everything between the first "" on that 
line, instead of the of the ">" at the end of the base tag

Hope that makes sense :)
TIA
Andrew

Re: [PHP] reg exp problems

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, but the  tag doesn't have to have a

tag.
