[PHP] Sessions and Forms
What is the best/recommended method of saving form data into session variables? Currently only have to deal with regular text input, checkboxes and radio buttons (no multiple selects for now). Any sample code someone could throw up on the list? I've only recently begun working with sessions, but I'm interested to see what I can do with them. Any sort of direction on this would be appreciated. Thanks! - Greg -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Sessions and Forms
Ok, I'll have to try that on my next project. Unfortunately these forms were written by another developer and there too many variables to rename to make an array and not enough time on the project :-) But for next time. I've seen many examples of assigning values to session variables w/o forms on the list and online. Now should I look to set those values on the next page in the sequence of forms that the user is entering? page1.php ?php session_start(); *** session_register(test_var);*** // Is this ok? ? form action=page2.php input type=text name=test_var/input input type=submit /form page2.php ?php session_start(); *** $_SESSION[test_var] = $test_var; *** // Or is this ok? // or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[test_var] = $test_var on =4.0.6 ? ... (rest of page here) Which of the two lines is more failsafe in terms of working every time?

What I do is try to put all the form elements into a single array. That way you'll only have a single variable to worry about. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Sessions and Header()
Forgive the long post here, but I'll give as much info up-front and see if anyone can help me out here... I've searched the PHP docs for some help, but I am still running into a strange problem. Let me explain: I'm working on an internal site that stores information into a database, but it can be retrieved at a later date. The data initially is entered over many pages ( ~10 forms), so I've used sessions to store that data across those pages so that if they decide to move out of order, their data is still there. Once they're done, they can save the data, etc... we've all heard this story. Now, on retrieval, I'm pulling all the information from the database and storing them in session variables, which all happen to be arrays. There is a lot of data to retrieved and put into variables. I have one PHP script perform all this and then re-direct the user to the start page. Unfortunately, the script isn't storing all the session variables, only the first 5 of 7 variable arrays. The page looks similar to this: ?php session_start(); require include_file.inc; mysql_pconnect(...); mysql_select_db(...); $result1 = mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query(...)); $sess_var1[formVar1] = $result1-data_field; . session_register(sess_var1); ...// (and so on) // and then the re-direct Header(Location:next_page.php); ? Unfortunately when I place the Header() call at the end of the file, it just sits there and doesn't re-direct. If I place it after session_start(), it will re-direct, but only the first five session variables are registered. Is there something I'm missing here or trying to do too much? - Greg -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Sessions and Header() - Retraction
Well, perhaps stepping away from the problem for a few minutes actually helps clear the mind. Found that one of my mysql_query() statements wasn't completing and everything after that didn't finish. Once I fixed that, all the session variables work. Go fig. Let that be a lesson to me :-) Greg Macek wrote: Forgive the long post here, but I'll give as much info up-front and see if anyone can help me out here...

[PHP] include() from another sub-domain
Hello,
I've searched the list and the manual and am still a bit confused.
Here's what I'd like to do. We have a bunch of internal sites that all
use the same username/password. One is already setup with a function to
authenticate this to a database. However, each login page is coming from
a different sub-domain, such as site1.mydomain.com. The login functions
resides in a PHP file on site2.mydomain.com. So it does this:
?
// This page on site1.mydomain.com
include (http://site2.mydomain.com/functions.php;);
if (loginUser($username,$password)) {
// do stuff here
// redirect
}
else { ... }
?
Right now my local script doesn't find the function I'm trying to use.
What am I missing here? Is it not possible to include a php file (and
its functions and variables) across domains?

Re: [PHP] include() from another sub-domain
Well, that would make sense. Now is this something I need to configure
in the Apache or the PHP config file?

If these domains are on the same physical server, include them directly
via the full filesystem path. If they are actually on different physical
machines, you will need to configure those other machines to let you get
the non-parsed PHP code through them. Your problam right now is that the
site2.mydomain.com machine is executing the PHP and only giving you the
parsed result. You need to configure Apache to not parse the file with
PHP when requested by your script.

[PHP] require/include from a different directory
Hi, I'm having a problem hopefully can be easily answered. I'm trying to organize parts of my site into different directories so that they're all not in the main folder so to speak; basically breaking out by what part of the application it is. I also have an include folder for all my main functions and such... / (main directory) /include (global functions, includes) /app_sect1 /app_sect2 what I'm trying to do from /app_sect1 is include a file from the include directory, but with little success. The line looks like this: require ../include/inc_file.php; But my page just doesn't work for me now.. any ideas what I'm missing? - Greg -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] require/include from a different directory
It seems I have found my problem. It has to do with the files I'm trying to include. They also include other files and the directories it's trying to include files from aren't working. I've found a workaround for my situation for the time being. It's not pretty, but functional. On Sat, 2003-03-29 at 14:19, Greg Macek wrote: Hi, I'm having a problem hopefully can be easily answered.

Re: [PHP] require/include from a different directory
I've considered that route, but an issue I have with that is I do most of my development work on a machine that a different directory structure than the production server (currently a Cobalt RaQ4), so the paths are different. Accommodating both would be a time consuming project for me. On Sat, 2003-03-29 at 14:47, Jason Paschal wrote: try using an absolute path.

You could also check out this class someone wrote called Date_calc. It's a nice frontend to all sorts of date calculations you may run across.

[PHP] Upload images to server other than web server?
This topic may have been covered before, but I couldn't find any info on it. We have a Cobalt RaQ4 that serves up all our intranet sites, a couple of which will have forms for uploading files that are related to records stored in a DB. I'm not planning on storing the files in the DB, don't worry. :) However, the files themselves will not be stored on the RaQ, but a different file server on the network which has substantial space for files. What is the best way to go about this? Have the file uploaded to a temp. location on the RaQ and FTP it to its final destination? Or is there a way to automatically redirect the file? I've considered NFS for this, but I'm unsure if the RaQ has tools for mounting NFS shares. Ideas/comments welcome.

Re: [PHP] Re: Upload images to server other than web server?
I will give the search a try tomorrow morning. But I can give direct access to the filesystem for one folder on the RaQ if needed as a temporary holding place. In my head it seems to be the best option I have. I'll see what my search results come up with tomorrow. On Tue, 2002-10-29 at 23:38, Jason Young wrote: Does it have direct access to this filesystem?
